Dak(White fire)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I was feeling good. Despite the circumstances, it was going well tooday. Stole a little extra gruel, had a good sleep, found my key out of this place, who had never done it before.

"You've NEVER fought in the arena!?" I asked. "No, is that a problem?" Spike answered. "The hell? Okay, look, there are 8 Yu Yan archers on the walls. Three on the left side, three on the right, and one at each end. The fire lord has an addition two elite Yu Yan archers at his side. Those are??your targets." I replied.

"That's all I do? Take out 10 archers? Why couldn't you do this alone again?" He asked. "Because I need cover while I'm ripping the gate open and fighting who knows how??many gladiators.". "Alright, where's my bow?" Spike asked. "Here," I handed him a bow, "Use this, a cellmate stole it for me." I replied.

"Close knit group of friends, even in prison. Thats cool." he said. "I told him if he didn't get it I'd rip his head off." I stated. "Oh." he replied.

"The gates are opening, you ready?" I questioned. "Always." he answered. As the gates opened I saw a sight that would make this the hardest fight ever, an entire legion of fire nation elite soldiers and three catapaults. My heightened senses picked up a floating word, "FIRE!" Crap. "Run to the side and take out those Yu Yans!" I ordered as he ran out of the path of projectiles.

The first thing to reach me was a flaming ball of tar. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw one of the archers fall of the wall and smiled. With a quick double-fisted thrust and equally fast retraction, I imploded the ball of fire and charged the front line. I swerved in between arrows and fireballs with reflexes a cat would envy. Just before I reached the line, I heard it screaming for blood.

Kill them! Hahahahah! I smiled. It knew how to throw a party. I stabbed the first soldier in the stomach with my now burning hands. Another jumped and slashed at me with his spear, only to have the weapon ripped out of his hands and shoved through his chest. I leapt onto another soldier and grabbed his face, pulling his neck out of socket.

I heard another Yu Yan drop. Good. I swung around and sliced a man's windpipe, and in the same spin cut through another's forehead. Some soldiers were backing off now, I killed them easier. Another Yu Yan sounding thump.

Each soldier willingly stepped into a 'line' to get a piece at me. One fell, missing a lung. Another from having a freak stick his burning hands into his chest and swirl the contents up. Now the soldiers were really scared. Don't run. Stay, have a piece of your DOOM! It cackled again.

The next fool swung his glaive at me, and missed. I jumped on his back, cupped my hands around his chin, and swung both feet into his back, snapping every bone, all the way down. One tackled me to the ground, I shoved his head into his chest. Another sliced my shoulder, I broke his arm and smashed his head into the steel wall of the arena.

Four more thumps, twenty soldiers, and one broken catapult later, I was standing at the gate. "Finally! I'm free! 8 Years!" I shoved my hands through the gate and felt a soldier near me, I turned to see him fall with an arrow in his back. I gave a look of thanks as another Yu Yan fell over top of my head.

"The elites! Kill them!" I yelled. A little more and I was out! Spike looked up as a bomb-laden arrow came screaming towards him. He ducked, rolled, and shot an arrow all in a second. He was good. The last archer shot an arrow I had seen before many times. It was a shirshu arrow, not lethal, but it would knock you out cold. "Dodge!" I yelled. He looked up too late. I left the door and shot a candle flame-sized ball of fire that incinerated the arrow and the poison. "Can't always be saving your @$$ Spike." I said. "I saved yours, so??we're even." he replied. "Got it." I said as I finished the door off.

He threw me a charge of powder from the Yu Yan's belt. I placed it on the door, stepped back, and fired.

I was free.

Told you it was violent. Don't hate me. I introduced 'it' in this part. That is a voice in his head, sinister, smart, saadistic. Good times. NOTE: A glaive is like a spear but instead of a spearhead, it has like half of a broadsword on it. Or a scimitar, whatever you call it. It's like a giant axe, but with a sword head on it.

EDIT-Fixed grammar.

Spike (Archer)

Dak and Spike had just escaped "slave arena fighting"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dak and I ran into the horizon, hearing the marching of Fire Nation soldiers behind us. Dak and I stopped running for a second to catch our breaths. Dak looked at me as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I said, "Dak, whats was with you out there? You were so brutal."

Dak replied, "Well it got the job done, right?"

I answered, "Yes it did. It's just weird cuase I didn't picture as the type of guy who rips people's thoats out."

Dak smiled. I then joked, "Hahahaha you sure you don't have a voice in your head commanding you waht to do? Hahaha!"

Dak smile turned to a frown. Dak yelled, "Spiek I saved your a$$ out there, and now what? You think I have a dam voice in my head?" Dak lunged at me and pushed me to the floor.

I quickly stood up and raised my bow and arrow at Dak's face. "Don't move," I yelled.

Dak stood there, not sure if he should attack me. I lowered my bow and arrow due to curiousity of a small wall I saw in the distance. "What is that over there," I asked.

Dak replied, "You just attempted to kill me and now you are my friend again. Why shouldn't I just kill you right now."

"Becuase you won't," I replied.

Dak and I walked towards the small wall, which had a bunch of posters on it. I read the first poster which said, "Attention all who read this: A menace to our society known as Willy Woo has been killed. Willy's girlfriend, Sindra, has been killed as well. Willy's partner in crime, Berracore, was also killed that same day." I smiled.

Dak asked, "Do you know Willy Woo?"

I replied, "Yeah, he was my first target ever."

Dak questioned, "Target?"

I replied, "Ummm, I meant I knew him." I didn't want to tell Dak that I was a Hitman of the Fire Nation, or who would surely attack me.

I read the next poster which said, "A tournament for the Hami Crystal and a lot of gold will be held at the Gebretti Arena in Ba-Sing-Se. Anyone who wishes to join the tournament may join. The tournament will be in one week."

"Hmmm, the Hami Crystal. That must mean that my friends will be there. Quick Dak, we must go to the Gebretti Arena in Ba-Sing-Se. I am sure that my friends will be there!"

Dak replied, "I don't know if I trust you enough to travel with you. You said something about a target. Are you a Hitman or something?"

I lied, "No ahahahah. Thats funny..."

Dak responded, "What Nation do you belong to?"

I answered, "The Earth Nation."

Dak then said, "The Earth Nation huh. What area did you live in?"

I lied, "Jeru."

Dak sighed, "Spike, I don't think I could trust you. Who knows, you might even be in the Fire Nation."

I lied, "Fire Nation! I hate them!"

Dak squinted his eyes and said, "Well we can travel together for now. But, I am gonna keep a close eye on you Spike..."

Scorch (Elite Fire Bender) AFTER THE 8 MONTH GAP

Scorch??had woken up in the same bed he and Rin were sharing(they have been sharing the same bed since that night), and he brushed Rin's hair away from her face, which had grown in back to its normal length.

"Wake up Rin,"??whispered Scorch, "its morning." Rin moaned and snuggled into Scorch's chest.

"Five more minutes," she said sleepily, only pushing her head harder onto his chest. Scorch chuckled and held her close.

"So, do you want to tell them??today?" asked Scorch. Rin didn't want to tell Ami and Fang about her??proposing to Scorch. Rin shook her head and looked up at Scorch.

"Its not important," she said. They laid in bed together for another 20 minutes, when Scorch heard a grumble come from Rin.

"What was??that?" asked Scorch.

"I think its time to feed the beast," said Rin as she smiled, "let's go downstairs." Scorch nodded and Rin got up and changed, Scorch looking away so he wouldn't see anything that she didn't want him to.??Scorch then got up and??changed into his cloak, the warmest thing he had and he was getting used to the bitter cold. They were about to walk outside of the room when a woman (Illiana) burst through the door.

"Are you Rin?" she asked with a frantic tone. Rin nodded. "Good, come with me!" She quickly grabbed Rin's hand and dragged her downstairs.

"What's wrong?" asked Rin.

"Your friend Ami is giving birth," said Illiana. Scorch followed her and they ran into a room, the entrance covered by a??sheet. Fang was standing outside of the room and Scorch waited outside with him.

"So... are you excited?" asked Scorch.

"Of course I am!" exclaimed Fang, "I'm going to be a dad."

"Heh, he's in for a surprise," said Pyro.

"What?" asked Scorch.

"Nothing," replied Pyro, "you'll see soon enough." Pyro then roared as if paniced and spoke again, "No! Two of the??Infernox Crystals??have been removed! Blasted Mortals, Scorch we must find the third crystal!"

"What are you complaining about now?" asked Scorch.

"The Infernox Crystals, my weapons, have been removed from their places by mortals," said Pyro, "and if they find the thrid,??the can??unlock the??Spirit Gate, causing a massive army of spirits on the other side to invade the mortal world!"??

"So?" asked Scorch.

"In mortal hands, the??gate??will only bring destruction," said Pyro, "you need to find the third crystal and now!"

"Where is it?" asked Scorch.

"Close," said Pyro, "you were almost standing right next to it at one point."

"Don't make me repeat myself Pyro," said Scorch, "where is it?"

"Its in the cave in the tundra," said??Pyro, "you know the one." Scorch sighed aloud and began to walk out when Fang stopped him by tugging on his arm.

"Where are you going?" asked Fang, "you can't leave now." Pyro struggled to the surface and took control of Scorch's body.

"Get away from me!" exclaimed Scorch/Pyro, forcing heat from his arm, burning Fang's hand. He quickly pulled the hood of his cloak over his head and flew away from the city, allowing Scorch to regain control. Scorch continued to fly to the cave and landed in front of it. He took a ball of fire in his hand to break the darkness and walked into the??cavern. He got to the end of it and chuckled.

"There's nothing here," said Scorch. The snow on the wall began to melt??to show an insigma sticking out from the wall. Scorch reached for it and??pulled. It came out of the wall with ease and the stone disappeared to show a large tunnel leading deep into the??earth. He??walked into it and felt a sensation he hadn't felt in a long time:?? warmth in the air. He continued to walk further down the tunnel and it got hotter:?? not too hot, but more like the place he came from. The tunnel eventually opened into a massive chamber with red crystals hanging from the ceiling and??coming out from the walls. In the center of the Chamber was a small, purple orb floating in mid-air and Scorch moved towards it.

"Yes," said??Pyro, "the Vector Sigma Crystal." Scorch's arm turned into Pyro's claw and he moved toward the??crystal and grabbed it. "The??fail-safe to the other crystals. It has the power to cancel out the other two crystals." Scorch's arm reverted back to normal, and the crystal disappeared. "I won't let you worry about that." Scorch observed the chamber and took note of it for a future reference. He??began to walk out of the??cavern and into the tunnel. He felt the cold air sweep over him as he stepped outside and looked at the tundra.

"Now, time to get my other crystals," said Pyro.

"No, no it is not," said Scorch. "As long as we hold the Vector Sigma Crystal, the spirit gate is safe."??And with that, he flew back to the city.

Brimstone, firebender, scimitar, and sai

up along Mt. Niatnuom, i was practicing my firebending. i just narrowly escaped the sherriff at Ki Ading Gu earlier that morning and i made it up to the mountain around noon. i decided to camp on the western side of the mountain in order to practice without being seen. i started to throw some fire punches at a couple rocks.

"impressive accuracy" a voice said behind me

i spun around quicker than light and stood ready and walking up to me was a short, old man who seemed really familiar.

"nice to see a familiar face" he said

"General Iroh?"

"indeed, Pvt Xiou. am i intruding?"

"no, no. please have a seat"

he sat down next to the fire and pulled out a tea pot.

"care for some tea?"

i smiled "just like old times"

he filled the pot and put it on the fire and sat back

"so, howd a member of the royal family end up out here?"

"Prince Zuko and i have been banished due to the failure of the North Pole"

"where is he?"

"around, ive been following him. so where are you going, Xiou?"

"i was looking for General Scorch, but lately ive been thinking about giving up on that. ive realized that he cant help me in my prediciment"

"whats your prediciment?"

"my prison sentence. remember the two years i spent shovelling coal on Zukos ship? after that they sent me to??Omashu to serve the rest of my sentence"

"why'd you leave. you could've??stayed for the four years"

"they were sending me on a suicide mission. i saw the orders. now i'll never return home"

he poured and handed me my tea

"everything happens for a reason, Xiou. you may not be able to to home, but maybe you were destined to do great things. and besides, the war will be over after the summer, and your treason will be forgotten. and hopefully mine too"

??"i see your point, but you have nothing left back home, i do. i need to find a way to return there"

"well, if thats the path you wish to choose, then its yours to choose, and yours alone. i am not one to draw a route, im merley here to help you out"

"and you allways had"

Iroh looked up at the sun.

"well, it seems as if its my time to continue down my path" he got up and packed away his belongings "i hope you find your path"

"allways a pleasure" i stood up and bowed.

"may our paths cross once again" and he bowed back and walked away

"Hami crystal? Tournament? Hmm, I need to find Kar, but I could use the money... I guess it wouldn't hurt." I thought to myself. I looked at Spike, who was lost in thought. It growled. "What are you on about?" I don't like him. "You don't like anybody." There's something different about him. He's hiding something. "Oh yeah? What?" Gah, I don't know, keep an eye out in your sleep, boy. "You're only technically eight years old, quit calling me boy." I'm older than you think, infections like me last quite a long time... It receded with a wicked cackle.

"Bastard." I thought. "You okay?". Spike. "Fine." I replied. I looked up. He followed my gaze and gave me a voiceless question. "Wanna boost?" I asked. "Up there? Ha, nice try." he replied. "Suit yourself, archer boy.". I collected fire in my hands and compressed it, then swiped it at the ground. The controlled explosion sent me up two stories and landed me on a balcony.

It was a nice place, and in no time I had found two bundles of something. At least they weren't slave clothes. I changed immediately and saw that they were worn-out traveling cloaks. Not too bad. I threw one out to Spike. "Put those on!" I called out the widow. There was a dresser on the far wall and I searched the contents. "Damn, where are they?" I muttered. Then it showed itself, a locked drawer. I pulled, it stuck. My hand lit up and I gave the lock a lazy look.

Ten minutes later, I was shimmying down the pipes oon the side of the apartments. Spike was standing there in the slightly too big traveling cloak. "What?" I asked. "Did you steal their pets while you were at it?" he questioned. "No, I got better. These." I handed him a silver card. "Gate passes? Oh, right." he wondered aloud. "Let's go." I walked in the gate's direction.

We got to the guard at the gate and, per his protocol, he stopped us. "Gate passes?" he inquired. We handed him our passes and he put a stamp on them. Once the gates had closed, Spike threw his in a bush. "What's that for?" I asked. "Don't need it." he stated.

I pocketed mine, I might have to come back one day. Just then, I felt a tightening in my chest. Like a lump, or a knot. I collapsed. Spike was probably asking me what was wrong, but I couldn't hear, nor see him. Everything was black, then purple. The purple imploded on itself and formed into a sphere. "Now, time to get my other crystals.". As this thing spoke, my body froze.

"Dak! Dak, what's wrong!?" I rolled over. "F-f-fffreeeezz-fffreezing." I stuttered out. He reached down and grabbed my right arm. When he touched my arm, It screamed. AAAAHHH! The orb! Spike recoiled. "Then why is your arm on fire?! Quit bending!" "I'm nnnot!" Then it was gone. The knot, the headache, the freezing, It. All gone.

I got up and patted myself down. "What the hell?" I thought. "Hey, Dak?" My hearing cleared up. "I said, what the hell was that?". Uh, a siezure, or a heart-attack. I don't know." I replied quickly. Too quickly. "Yeah, I bet." he said uncertainly. That wasn't right, why did I get cold? Other ones? Orbs? My head began to hurt again. Then a word that was once??voiceless floated across my mind.

Vector sigma.

Spike (Archer)

Dak just "spazzed out" and Spike is slowly growing uncomfortable and suspicious over Dak...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dak and I continued our march towards Ba-Sing-Se. We had left through the main gates of the city and we were in the clear, at least I thought we were. Soon enough Dak adn I were greeted by an enemy of ours...

I heard the marching of feet in the distance. I turned to Dak saying, "Do you hear that? It sounds like someone is following us."

Dak replied, "Yeah, I hear that. It could be a Fire Nation troop trying to recapture us."

I replied, "Yes, that???s possible." But, Dak didn't know that I was in the Fire Nation. The only reason I fought the Fire Nation earlier was because I was wearing slave clothes, and they wouldn't have believed me if I said that I was in the Fire Nation. But now I had regular clothes. All I wanted was to get to Ba-Sing-Se and find my two friends, Mayhem and Bulldozer.

Dak then commented, "Man, I wish Kar was here. I really hate that guy, I want him dead!"

I replied jokingly, "Hahaha is that voice talking in your head again?"

Dak turned at me and grinned. He yelled, ???What did I tell you about that?!?! I told you not to talk about dam voices in my head!???

I backed away from him, knowing his gruesome force and power. I pleaded, ???Jeez, calm down. I was joking. You really don???t have any sense of humor!???

Dak cletched his hands into fists and he yelled, "Are you asking for a fight? Cuase I will fight you right now!"

I backed away even more pleading, "No, I don't want to fight you!"

Dak screamed, "Spike, you helped me a little bit. But, I can still kill you right now!"

I quickly whipped out my bow and arrows and raised an arrow at Dak's head. "Back away from me," I demanded.

Dak backed a way barely and said, "So, is this what it comes down to. We are going to fight over nothing?"

I replied still aiming my arrow at him, "No, we are going to fight over a different reason!"

Dak asked, "And what reason is that?"

I answered, "I am a hired Hitman for the Fire Nation. Dak, prepare to be slaughtered by me, the best dam archer in the world!"
