I'm late, so sorry. But I think it was better for me to wait to update because I was able to think this story through. I will say that my Oc (I've decided to add one) will show up in this chapter, but not very much.
I also had a thought in mind that you should know. I will tell you at the end, so enjoy this late chapter.
Chapter 5 Toph Beifong's Metalbending School
"Well, it's been fun guys," Toph first said as Appa flew by her metalbending school. "But I gotta get back to my school."
"Leaving already Toph?" Katara wondered.
"Yeah. Someone's gotta keep the lily liver...I mean my students in line," she explained briefly.
"Wait," Sokka whispered as he tugged on her clothes to stop her. "You can't leave me alone with them. The oogie-osity's only gonna get worse after you're gone. How am I supposed to keep my food down!?"
"Well, You could come with me," Toph suggested.
"No, no. Hey! How about I go with you?" What...?
"Great idea Sokka," Toph said sarcastically. "Wish I'd thought of it."
"Katara? Aang? I'm going with Toph, to check out her school, not because you two are giving me oogies or anything." Uh huh, right.
"Hm? Oh. That sounds good. We'll pick you up on the way back from Ba Sing Se," Katara informed as Aang jumped to Appa's head.
"Hold on guys! Just give Appa a second to land."
"Don't bother Twinkle Toes. We're close enough to the ground." Then Toph gave a sniff of the air, continuing with, "I can smell the trees near the school." Sokka sniffed to see, but before he could even tell if he could smell the trees, Toph grabbed his arm and pulled him off. "Come on!"
"Hey, isn't that the hand you were just using to pick your-?" And there they were falling, off of Appa. "Aaah!"
"I gotta let go of you, but don't worry!" And there she let go of him.
"I'm worried! I'm worried!" he yelled.
Toph's arms went up, bringing a rock up to them, while it made a 'krunk' sound. As it reached them, Toph landed, sliding down on her feet, while Sokka smacked onto the rock, sliding down as if he was on a slide. And of course there was a small ramp like part at the end, and he fell onto the ground on his back with a 'oof' and Toph landed on her feet like she always did.
"Told you not to worry."
"I tasted my own stomach when we were halfway down, but by the end...no a bad way to travel."
"So how'd you come up with the idea of starting your own school?" Sokka asked as they walked through a forest.
"After training Aang, I realized how fulfilling teaching can be," she responded. "I mean, I helped him reach his potential as an earthbender, as the Avatar, and as a human being! I felt like I really made a difference!" she exclaimed with a gaping smile. "So when I discovered metalbending, I knew in my hearat that I had to share it with the world. It was almost like a...a calling!"
"Aw, who're you kidding? You just like telling people what to do."
"Yeah." And then out of random, she yelled. "AND YELLING! I LOVE YELLING! Just where do you lily livers think you're going?!" Off to the side, her three and only three students, were walking away with their stuff. "Don't tell me you were trying to escape..I mean, give up your training! I'm gonna put you in so much hurt you won't remember what day of the week it is!"
"Sifu Toph!" the girl jumped, or in other terms, Penga jumped.
"Oh, this is bad! We're so doomed!" Hotun, the one who always said the word 'doom', fell back.
The Dark One just stayed quiet.
"Sifu Toph, who's that?" Just noticing, Penga smiled at Sokka, forgetting about what just had happened.
"Oh, yeah. Sokka, these are my students...Hotun..." Hotun had dark brown hair tied back into a small ponytail, along with having green clothes on. "Penga..." Penga also had dark brown hair, tied back into a longer ponytail, except it was tied back with a green bandage looking bow, along with a white and yellow dress with a big green bow around her wastes. She stared at Sokka with hearts instead of eyes, smiling even wider. "And moo...The Dark One," she sighed. "Lily livers, this is my friend Sokka," she introduced, concluding.
"Please, sir!" Hotun pleaded. "Save us from our doom!"s
He was ignored because Penga had to say, "Your biceps are enormous!" She almost squealed, but nothing came out.
"The Dark One." The Dark One said.
"Oh, I don't know about 'enormous' biceps. 'Impressively large,' maybe..." Show off.
"You're my new boyfriend! Starting right now!"
"How old are you Penga?"
"Almost sixteen." Hears surrounded her.
"And by almost, you mean..."
"nine," Penga finished the sentence.
"I see."
But everyone was interrupted by Toph's crackling knuckles. "So what were we talking about before all this nice-to-meet-you garbage? Taht's right. We were talking about hurt."
"Please, Sifu Toph," Hotun worriedly told her. "We weren't trying to run away! WE were kicked out!"
Penga huffed, her cheeks puffing up from the extra air she added to her mouth. "They wouldn't even let me pack all my shoes first!" she commented unbelievably.
"I hate practicing forms, but getting kicked out is the worst." The Dark One said, irritated.
"Kicked out?" Toph wondered confusingly. "Kicked out by who?"
"Breathe in disciples of Kunyo! Breathe in the fury of our ancestors! Breathe in the glory of-"
"Get out!" An interruption was made and the door slammed opened, followed by Toph being the on opening them and standing at the entrance. "Get out of my school now!"
"Who dares disturb master Kunyo's Firebending Dojo?!" The man had all grey hairs and fire nation type clothes (of course) and some kind of...sword thingy on his head...?
"Firebending Dojo?!" Then she stomped foot on the ground, earthbending, making the ground below the man before her, raise up. "This is the Beifong Metalbending Academy!"
"My students and I left this building in difference to the Harmony Restoration Movement!" And there, the sword hat-ed man firebended at the Flying Boar banner which burned, making a firenation banner show. "But now that the Fire Lord has recovered his senses and withdrawn his support for the movement..." He pointed right at the now firenation banner and let it burn as he continued. "We've come back to reclaim what is rightfully ours!"
"Fire Lord Zuko is off his gourd! You people don't belong here!" With that much said, she banged on the wall and the symbol representing earth appeared, sticking out, getting rid of the firenation banner. "This is the Earth Kingdoms...And the world's...first school, first serve," she made a point there, but he didn't listen.
"Psh. Shame on you for selling such a fantasy to these poor dupes, young lady. Everybody knows that metalbending doesn't exist." But without another word from both, his sword hat was shaped into a bent up shape, the top pointing at the ceiling. "Gaah1"
"Master Kunyo!" one of his students exclaimed.
"Watch carefully, disciples. Your master's about to teach this Dirt girl a lesson."
"Bring it on." Some of the ground behind Toph started lifting up, but Sokka interrupted at the moment.
"Okay, everybody, calm down. If you start fighting, there won't be a building left to fight over! This place is meant to be a school, right? It seems to me that it ought to go to whichever school is most effective," Sokka suggested.
"My boyfriend's so reasonable." Penga's eyes started to sparkle.
"Good point! Rather than settle this with a match between the teachers, we'll settle it with a match between our students," he confirmed. "A match to the death!"
"Yes!" his three students cheered.
"OH, doom upon doom!" Hotun shouted worriedly.
"Does this mean I won't get all my shoes back?" Penga asked.
"Figures it'd end this way." The Dark One crossed his arms, leaning against the wall.
"Uh...well...how about a match to the sit instead?" What...?
"What?"
"You know, a match to the sit!" he explained.
"No, I don't know because you just made it up."
"Whichever team can force a member of the other team to sit down first wins!"
"Well..." one girl on the other team said
"I guess..." the only boy added
"As long as we still get to beat people up..." the other girl concluded.
"So we're only partially doomed?" Hotun's mouth started a smile.
"What great ideas my boyfriend has!"
"Whatever. I'll still hate it," the Dark one concluded.
"Come back in three days, Master Kunyo. We'll have the match then," Sokka informed.
"Three days?! Why should we wait...?!
The sword hat started bending around some more. "Or we could settle it right now, Master Pointy-Head, just you and me."
"Gaah!" The bending stopped and he drew an angry look at them. "Harumph! Three days it is." Then he and his students left the building, standing outside.
"I don't know about this, Sokka. The lily livers cant even..."
"Come on, Toph. Those firebenders are a bunch of little kids. With three days of intensive training, your guys will be able to take them."
Toph turned, thinking, and Sokka was left listening to the firebenders last speech before finally leaving.
"Before we leave disciples of Kunyo, let's give our opponents the Kunyo Salute."
The students jumped, and landed on top of each other, on the shoulders, firebending.
"Beware enemies of Kunyo!"
"For we shall Rost you..."
"In the flames of your own defeat!"
The others watched, Hotun struck with fear, Sokka gaping, Penga hiding, Toph not reacting, and the Dark One, well being the Dark One as always.
"What's that you're always saying, Hotun?"
"We're doomed!"
"Pretty much."
A rock was thrown into the air, back and forth. The black hair girl, who had two long bangs hanging, one on each side, and the back tied into a bun, played around with the almost pebble sized rock as she walked around a small forest.
"This is just boring," she wined, sighing. Her brown eyes lit up at the bright sun, hitting her face. "Why am I just wandering around all the time? I need something to do instead of wasting time throwing pebbles and moaning."
"Roooar!"
The girl jumped after hearing a loud roar and the pebble still in the air. It fell to her head, but she didn't notice that she let go of it.
"Ow!" The pebble reached her head and it slammed into her, making aching pain in a small spot. She rubbed the spot, then stopped to look up. "Huh...?" She saw a fury white beast fly in the air, a big one to be sure. "Wait, is that?" A grin formed as she started to run. "It has to be Appa!"
Then she heard another roar, and two beings fell, and she heard a scream coming from one. "Aah!" she would hear.
"That has to be..." the grin grew on her bright face. "Long time no see then."
Not much with my Oc (the one in that last section of paragraphs) but I thought maybe this was the best way to add her. But I've decided that I have to wait to continue this, only because there will be a lot of confusion and some spoilers in this that you may not realize. I've known that there would be a prequel to this, featuring an Oc, which is the one in this, but I think this story should be more of a sequel to read after the prequel. I'll give you that, and I will start a new Avatar fic soon and slowly update on this. (possibly after a certain amount of chapters submitted to you guys, that are from the prequel.)
Well that's the start of Episode 2, I'll see you in a long time, and in the prequel.
