Instantly, his blades where in his hands, and Riyan moved right to dodge the incomeing attack. Pivoting, he shot a few fast volleys at Lan Shen.
"Alas, I am hardly that arrogant, Lan Shen. However, when ideals and beliefs are not acted apon, that itself is wrong."
He moved closer, driving them into close combat.

When Nokoro finally reached the door, he felt like he was going to throw up and that his heart would get hurled out of his mouth with the mucus. So, he took a big gulp and reached his hand out to open the door, when someone else suddenly opened it! Nokoro gasped from the frightening surprise. The person who opened the door was a male Firebender and he also jumped back in surprise after seeing Nokoro. Nokoro came out of the prison door and speechlessly stared at the Firebender who opened the door, a Fire Nation girl on the right side, and a female Firebender shooting a swirling flame at another Firebender! He knew that he was greatly outnumbered if he had to fight with all these people. Nokoro wasn't sure what to do. The Firebender who was shooting the swirling flame seemed very skilled at Firebending because of her perfect stance and motion. Then, the other male Firebender dodged the attack and shot some quick fire blasts at the female Firebender. After that, he got closer to the girl. He most likely did this for close combat. This Firebender also seemed very skilled in fighting. Nokoro couldn't help but gaze at the uniqueness of the boy's fighting style. He finally snapped out of the trance that the girl's extravagant Firebending art and the boy's interesting combat skills put on him.
He pulled himself together and nervously said, What in the name of the great spirits of Tui and La is going on here?! Why are you fighting and what are you even doing here?! He stood there, dumbfounded, waiting for some kind of explanation to his questions. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew that it was definitely not good and that it was plausible that it was going to get worse. Nokoro braced himself for the worst possible events.

Maiku watched as the water bender just stood there. Maiku then heard the intensity of the battle going on behind him. "The sooner we get Riko the sooner we can get out of this nightmare," Maiku thought to himself. Then the water bender asked what was going on and why are they here.
"There having a fight over there, and I'm here for Riko. Give her up and things won't have to get ugly." Maiku said.
He formed fire daggers in his hands to and got into his fighting stance.
"What say you?" Maiku asked as a smirk came across his face.

Riyan knew that Lan Shen was overconfident, and that he had to get to the others before they completed his mission. As for the army, waterbenders would be alert now, and things might be more in there favor.
He moved to dive under her, and right at the second he was below her defense. He issed a wave of fire up toward her.

Lan Shen quickly leaped away from the fire blasts, dodging them easily.
"So, if you know my name, then can I have the pleasure of knowing yours?" She said with increasing bitterness as each word came out.
As the attacker moved closer, she did as well. Lan Shen wanted to get this fight over with, even though she couldn't but love the exhilaration.
She could faintly hear an unfamiliar voice as she moved, and dumbly turned her head to the source. At that instant, her guard was down, and it didn't take long for this attacker to get the advantage. Lan Shen saw him dive under her, and her eyes widened in fear. The wall of fire went straight toward Lan Shen, and she jumped out of the way just before she was consumed.
A sickening sound was bellowed through the icy walls as she landed on the ice. Lan Shen groaned, still feeling the intense heat, and she came to the horrible realization that her parka was on fire. Quickly shredding it off, Lan Shen reassumed her stance, only wearing her blue gi and light cotten pants in this icy tundra. The cold began to slowly consume her as the fire was about to. Lan Shen was a firebender thankfully, and she could handle any weather.
She dashed toward him, raising her fist as she firebent a flame increasing in size over her forearm. As soon as she was within inches of him, she quickly swung her arm toward his face.

"Quite acceptable, Lan Shen. My name is Riyan."
He said this as she came toward him and raised he hand to his face. He ducked and brought himself under her again, this time flipping her over him and letting her fall on her back. He brought her up, his swords at her neck in a criscross pattern.

Lan Shen shook the pain away after falling on her back. She was a little more than surprised to see swords by her neck, but it was going to take a lot more than that to stop her.
"Nice to meet you, Riyan," she said as she brought her leg up and slammed her foot against his stomach. Lan Shen did a backward roll, and quickly stood up into a solid stance once more.

"Good, I'd hoped you'd be a worthy opponent."
He moved to stance and let out a wave of fire that masked him for a short moment. Using it, He broung his hands togather, than quickly apart in a lightning strike.

Lan Shen did a tuck and roll, feeling the reverberations of the lightning as it struck another ice wall. She looked at Riyan and tried her best not to show fear on her face. Wow...I really should practice more...
She pressed her feet against the cold ground, and began to heat up the ice surronding her. As she did, steam emitted all around her, and soon enough her entire body wasn't visible anymore.

Riyan knew what she wanted him to do. The thing she overlooked however was that if moved the other direction, instead of going stright toward her, he still had an advantage. He need the end this battle quickly. He had to incompasitate her.
There was some waterbenders approching. He moved toward them, and when he got there, there was a non-waterbender with a club. He snatched it, the water tribe man looking quite mystifyed. That brought a smile to his face, and he vowed to return this club to it's owner later.
Moving back toward Lan Shen's steam, he made sure not to be directly in front of it. Ducking behind an outcropping, he waited for Lan Shen's next move.

They’re having a fight over there, and I'm here for Riko. Give her up and things won't have to get ugly., the Firebender said as he got into a fighting stance with fire daggers in his hands. Nokoro previously guessed that these spies were probably here for Riko, and he was correct. Well, he wasn't going to let them get her that easily. His expression turned from confusion into determination in a blink of an eye. He smoothly went into a Waterbending stance and got ready to defend against the Firebender's attack.
Things have already become ugly!, Nokoro replied with a witty smirk as he waited for the Firebender to do some kind of offensive move. Nothing happened for a pretty long amount of time. Nokoro subconsciously paid attention to the other fight. They were both counterattacking each other's moves with equal grace and skill. But then, something unexpected happened. The Firebending girl used heat to turn the ice around her into steam! He couldn't see a thing! But, he had an idea. Since steam was just water in the gas state, Nokoro Waterbended the steam around him and his opponent into water, which made them visible to each other. This gave Nokoro the perfect opportunity to do an attack. He used the newly condensed water to freeze the Firebender in a medium-sized coat of ice. Then, Nokoro calmly breathed out for control and carefully watched the Firebender to see what he would do. While keeping his eyes on his opponent, he wondered how the fight between the two Firebenders was going.

Riko couldn't stand all this anymore! If she just stayed put things would get worse! Heating up her hands and the surroundings she grasped the ice covered metal and the whole thing melted into goo. Jumping out of the cage Riko turned her head to the sound of the fighting and fire blasts. Swiftly she glanced around the room and spotted the table once more. Riko didn't waste anytime grabbing her two butterfly knives holding them at the ready. What Riko saw before her startled her even more.
Fire was flying everywhere but the steam was making it hard to see. Then she spotted it, a flash of blue, it had to be Nokoro! Using the ice wall to her left Riko ran up and used it to propel her forward. Mid air Riko did a backflip and, creating a fire wall landed in the middle of the battle. Riko's flames died down but she kept it going slowly and steadly at her feet. As she looked up, butterfly knives pointing at at each person to her side.
Nokoro was to her right and the Firebender he had been sparring with to her left.
"Will someone explain what's going on!?" yelled Riko in frustration. As she said so a jet of fire had come towards her, emitted by two Firebenders...fighting!?
With skill Riko used one of her butterfly knives to counter the stream which promptly changed course and blasted right into one of the ice walls. The ice began spraying everywhere on impact but at the blast everyone had momentarily stopped to look around.
"Well? Does anyone care to explain?" exclaimed Riko, amber eyes full of rage.

Aoi watched what was going on helplessly, cowarding behind Maiku. What am I doing...? she wondered to herself, biting her lip. Heaving a sigh, she breathed a quick prayer to the spirits and asked for guidance and strength before preparing herself in a battle stance, an arrow at her bow.

While waiting for the Firebender to do something, Nokoro was startled when Riko seemingly came out of nowhere and created a firewall in the middle of the battle. He knew that her escape was obviously made by melting the metal in the bars of the cage.
So, she really could have escaped whenever she wanted. But why did she get out and what is she going to do?, Nokoro thought to himself as he entered the realm of confusion once again.
After a short silence, Riko said, Will someone explain what's going on!?, as the two fighting Firebenders' flames were heading toward her. She easily reflected the fire into an ice wall with her butterfly knives. After the collision withered away, it seemed like Riko was a little confused.
Well, it definitely makes sense that she's confused. As if the reason for the fighting wasn't puzzling enough, but the perplexity of two Firebenders fighting during a war would definitely seem ludicrous!, Nokoro thought as he studied Riko's expressions.
After looking around, Riko angrily yelled, Well? Does anyone care to explain? Apparently, Nokoro didn't even know exactly what was going on! All he knew was that the Firebender that he was fighting was trying to take Riko.
Actually, I have no idea why those two Firebenders are fighting! All I know is that the Firebender I'm fighting was trying to take you away, so we started fighting., Nokoro explained with effort. There were so many events and actions occurring simultaneously, that it seemed like they all fell into a cornucopia of chaos and turmoil.

Lan Shen felt the rumbles of the falling ice, and almost lost her footing. She then heard a loud, angry, confused woman's voice soon after. That must be Riko, she thought, silently laughing for poor Maiku and Aoi whom were dealing with the enraged prisoner.
She swiftly sat on the snow in her misty, steam cloud and closed her eyes. Beginning to meditate, Lan Shen cleared her mind and inaudibly said some mantras. After reflecting on what to do for her next move, she opened her fierce, chestnut eyes.
Standing back up as swiftly as she sat down, Lan Shen bent her knees. Like a coiled snake ready to strike, she gracefully lifted her arms up, and moved them down in one rapid motion. All of the steam cleared, leaving Lan Shen visible once more.
