Clay's power revealed

After three days of traveling the Xioalin dragons and team avatar had decided to take a break and stopped in a small cave. Everyone set up there sleeping bags but Raimundo. He walked out of the cave and plopped down on the ground.

"This is all my fault." He sighed.

Kimiko noticed Raimundo was gone. She went outside the cave to look for him. She found him immediately sitting against the side of a large rock with a glum look on his face.

"Hey Rai why so down?"

He looked up at Kimiko sadly.

"I led you all into a trap," said Raimundo with a melancholy tone.

"Oh, so that's what is bothering you," said Kimiko understanding the problem.

"I am supposed to be the leader and yet I have messed up on my first day," said Raimundo

"Rai?" Kimiko said in a gentle tone.

Raimundo answered, "Yeah."

Kimiko punched Raimundo in the arm knocking him to the dry, hard ground.

"Ow. Ow, ow," he moaned, "what was that for?"

"For being an idiot," Kimiko says coolly while rubbing her hand.

"What do you mean?"

"Rai, you haven't been a leader for a week and you already doubting yourself, master Fung chose you to be leader for a reason so stop being so stupid ." Kimiko said harshly.

"Okay" Raimundo said meekly.

"Now" Kimiko said in a much gentler tone. "Let's head back for dinner okay."

"Okay." He said. "And Kimiko … thanks."

Kimiko smiled and headed back to the cave with Raimundo in toe. They had dinner and went to sleep. The next mourning the dragons were rudely awakened.

"Today's the day; today's the day I learn earth bending yahhh." Aang yelled excitedly

After Aang's little episode (and Sokka being shot twenty feet in the air) we all went outside to watch Toph teach Aang earth bending.

"The key to earth bending is your stance rock is a stubborn element in order to master it you have to be like a rock" Toph said.

"Like a rock got it." Aang Replied.

"Now the actual motion to this is pretty simple" Toph said before thrusting forward and sending the boulder in front of her into a cliff. "Okay ready to give it a try."
"I'm ready." Aang stated before he thrusted forward only to have his own bending blow up in his face and send him hurtling back into Appa making the dragons wince.

"Ha rock beats air bender." Sokka snickered.

"I don't understand what went wrong. He did it exactly the way you did it." Katara stated.

Aang had walked back from his little trip and said. "Maybe there's another way, if I came at it from a different angle…"

"No" Toph said grabbing Aang by the back of his collar. "That's the problem you've got to stop thinking like an air bender there's no different angle, no clever solution, no trickity, trick that's going to move that rock you got to face it head on and when I mean head on." Toph said.

"What do you mean?" Aang said confused.

"I think she means little partner that earth bending is pretty straight forward." Said Clay in his southern accent. "I mean sure it's complex but it holds no secrets."

"I get what you mean." Aang said nodding his head while Toph look a little mad that Clay had interrupted.

"And what do you know about earth bending." Toph said angrily.

"Quite a lot actually." Clay replied.

"Really I would love to hear this extensive knowledge on earth bending."

"Why don't I just show y'all?" Clay said before getting into a horse stance. A steady breeze passed the valley. Clay then stomped on the ground in front of him and not twenty feet away a forty foot pillar of earth rocketed out of the ground, Clay then took another stomp and another pillar rose out of the ground about Clay's height. He then shot his fist forward and shouted "WUDAI CRATER EARTH" and the pillar shot forward and hit the giant pillar collapsing it only to reveal a thirty foot version of Clay. Team avatar looked in awe while the Xioalin Dragons just shook their heads in amusement at the parlor trick Clay had just pulled.

"Yeah, yeah so what he can make a bigger version of his already huge head can we get back to training?" Toph said looking unimpressed but Clay could see she was jealous.

Clay walked back to his group.

"Clay were you just fooling around or are you just getting sloppy." Raimundo said smirking.

Clay smirked back but unfortunately Sokka over heard them and thought. "He was holding back who are these guys". The rest of the day was pretty uneventful well besides the fact that Aang got a bruise every five minutes from his training. At the end of the day Aang faced his final test.

"Okay we're going to try something a little different. Instead of moving a rock you're going to stop a rock. Get in your horse stance!" Toph said. And Aang got in position. "If you have the attitude of an earth bender you'll stand your stance and stop the rock. Like this". She said showing him the position.

"Sorry Toph but are you sure this is the best way to teach Aang earth bending." Katara said worriedly

I'm glad you said something" Toph said with a devious smirk. She then grabbed Aang's belt and started to tie it around his head. "This way you'll really have to sense the vibrations of the boulder to stop it. Thank you Katara." Toph said smirking.

"Yeah thanks Katara." Aang said annoyed. Katara laughed nervously.

Toph earth bended her way up the cliff and knocked it down. It rushed toward a nervous Aang but Toph didn't seem worried at all but then at the last moments…

I know it's not a cliff hanger for those who watched the show but this is my first avatar crossover anyway please review
