OOC: Hi Almighty! It doesn't matter if you can't RP, the important thing is that you're here! As soon as we get out of this mess, we'll continue with the presentations. It should be soon, too, now that we've got Zuko on our side .

Well aware of what is going on ahead of me, I leave the Tic Tac's in Angel Eyes hand I run to where Alle, Ellie, Ardor and the Blue Spirit are standing and ready to attack the final assailant.
Noticing a very confused Mel, Almighty and her friend Yazoo in my path, I crack a cheesy and very OOC smile and wave as I pass them.
Reaching my destination, I take a place between all my friends as I loosen the cap to my waterskin and focus as those around me are.

The remaining firebender backed away from his former prey as Ardor, now backed up by several of her comrades, advanced on him. Finally, it was his turn to be up against the thick underbrush with no where to run. When his back brushed against a tree, he stopped, knowing he was cornered.
The company, Alle and Ardor leading the pack, advanced to within a few feet of him, bending and weaponry at the ready.
He must know he's beat. Alleluia thought to herself.
"You are clearly outnumbered and outmatched." Captain Ardor began, taking the initiative to speak to her would be assailant. "Give up."
The man tensed.
"Surrender now and I promise you, you won't be harmed." General Alleluia told him, deciding to offer mercy to him. She saw no need to injure anyone else, if it wasn't needed.
The man looked for a moment like he was going to attack anyway. Then he loosened his stance and slowly raised his hands above his head. Alleluia started to relax the tiniest bit.
"Alright. I know when I am beaten." the firebender started in an oily voice. "I will surrender with honor."
Alleluia's previously relaxing muscles froze. She had heard that before... With a quick glance to her sides, she saw that the rest of her group had gone slightly on edge as well. They, too, knew that speech had sounded familiar. Both Toph and the Blue Spirit knew it from personal experience. Alleluia managed to catch eyes with GUG. Her waterbender friend's eyes held the same question as her own.
He wasn't seriously... was he?
In the next moment, he proved her thoughts right. The man moved to fire a blast at, what he thought was, the weakest link of the group; the little blind girl. But, unlike the incident everyone present was recalling by now, his underhanded move caught no one off guard, least of all Toph herself.
As one, the group unleashed their attacks on him. GUG let her water whip fly, while Toph sent a tremor at his feet and Alleluia sent a boulder at his middle. Both blue Spirits, the original and his female emulator, sent jets of fire at his head. Ellie did her part by sending a continuous stream of air at him, making it impossible for him to move. All of this before the man could even finish his intended attack on their "weakest" member. This man had just met the same resistance that Princess Azula had met so many weeks ago.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn't Azula.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the man lay at the base of a muddy, scorched tree, unconscious and down for the count. The group paused for a moment, taking in all that had just happened. Toph spoke first.
"Hah! Like I'd ever fall for *that* one again." she snorted derisively at the unconscious man. The Blue Spirits both stood back, re-sheathing their swords and either shaking their heads in amazement or nodding haughtily at the fellow.
"Seriously," Alle continued. "Do they teach those lines as part of a "class for new villains", or something? It totally gave his intentions away."
"I know!" GUG yelled. "Don't they all know we have seen that episode?"
At this, the original Blue Spirit and Toph both turned toward the waterbender, giving her inscrutable looks. (Or at least it was assumed the Blue Spirit was looking at her that way. It was hard to tell since his face was hidden by a mask and all.)
GUG, realizing her little mistake about mentioning "episodes", quickly coughed and looked away. There was an awkward silence following.
Alleluia broke it by telling Ardor to find some more of the Blue Spirits and have them take care of the unwanted party guests.
"Then, you had best get on stage. You do have a performance, right? After all this, I think I need some relaxing entertainment." The General said to her. "And since it was kinda *your fault* those guys were here in the first place," she placed her arm around the Captain's shoulders . "I think it is only fair that *you* provide the entertainment."
EDIT: Ardor nodded meekly as they all walked back toward the amphitheater. Well, most of them. the Blue Spirit had disappeared at some point. But Alle was sure he would show up again very soon.
Once they reached the amphitheater, the group dispersed and Alle, after pushing Ardor toward the stage, made her way back to her seat. Once there she found General Iroh, lounging comfortably in his seat, and, surprise surprise, Prince Zuko sitting there next to him. If she hadn't known better, the boy looked like he had been sitting there the whole festivities, positively bored the entire time.
General Iroh turned to greet the still slightly harried looking Alleluia as she entered her seat.
"I heard that there was some kind of commotion earlier? And I can see it was true. What happened to you?" He gestured for her to sit and relax as he questioned her.
Alleluia flopped into her seat and sighed. turning toward the General, she was about to describe the whole event to him. Behind him, seemingly uninterested in their conversation, but surely listening intently Zuko sat.
"Oh, we had a few party crashers, is all." She told the general. "Things were a bit uncertain for a minute, but we got some great reinforcements. Anyway, it turned out to be nothing we couldn't handle." she finished with a lazy smile. She saw Zuko relax slightly as his uncle chuckled and turned back around. Alle looked up to see both GUG and Ellie seated in front of her general area. Toph must have gone off to annoy Sokka or sit somewhere else, at least. The girls had obviously heard everything and looked back giving her smiles. She returned them and threw a thumbs up.
Then, excitement over, she settled in to enjoy the rest of Music Night.
Ugh, she mentally sighed. and I still have to close this thing? Man...
~~~~~~~~~
Whew! lol Threat averted! Now, back to the festivities. lol

Alle led me to the ampitheatre. "Entertainment...like what.." I wondered to myself. As we neared the steps, she drew her hand away from my shoulder, and with both of them gave me a push. I was caught off guard, and tripped over the first step, and nearly fell flat on my face. My jerky steps echoed. I stood up straight, and looked around. I always hated being up in front of people. Well, while I'm here, why not make the best of it? Act like a dork. "Heh, Hello everybody.." My voice echoed, I felt so alone. The audience just stared back at me. I swear I heard crickets somewhere... But I shook it off. "Well, I have made something very special for all of you..." I was starting to get nervous. What if they didn't like it.. "It's for the Glory of the Empire. Nothing can go wrong," the little voice in my head told me. I took a deep breath, motioned for the projector guy to dim the lights. The torches surrounding the camp were put out, the screen lowered, and the projector light blinked on. I moved out of the way, "Here it is!" I took a seat on the side of the stage, and watched nervously. "3...2...1... www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_wo66pXJW8 "

I woke up to find tic-tacs in my hand and myself all alone. Groaning, I struggled to sit up and I rubbed my head. Man, that hurts...
There was no sign of the person I tripped over. I looked around, and saw that the fight from before was over, and Ardor was playing a video. I stared hazily at it... nice music...
Just then, a shadow appeared over me. I looked up and saw... Chong.
Both of us stared at each other.
"Whoa, that's a big bruise!"

The mood had changed so quickly that at first I couldn't settle down enough to focus on the show. soon though the great artistry was able to captivate me. When the credits start to roll I squeal and give a standing ovation for the first show Ive seen tonight. "Amazing stuff! Well made, good song choice, and I see you even altered some of the original footage! Not all AMVs go to that length."

Exhausted after the fight, I lazily walk to where my seat is. I sit down a bit too fast, and I feel a headache coming. I turn to my right to find Kishori still eating, barely aware of my arrival.
"Hi Kishori," I greet her with a smile. She merely waves her hand at me and continues eating. I sigh, when is she going to stop this? I glance at the amphitheater and I can see how Ardor, somewhat sloppily, makes her way to the stage. She says a few words, a little unconfortable, I notice, and plays her video.
As soon as it ends, I clap excitedly. I thought it was great, the clips she used fit the song perfectly and the synchronization was simply wonderful. I know good AMV making skills when I see them, no matter the pairing.
"You should go there now," Kishori says to me. Maybe it's time.

Alleluia applauded wildly as the video ended! Truly, that was inspired. She absolutley loved that song! And to have it applied to Zutara? Wonderful! Alleluia let out a shrill whistle the merged with the whooping and hollering of all the other Zutarians present.
"Very, very awesome, Ardor!" she yelled to the stage as Ardor bowed. Turning to General iroh, she continued in a soft undertone, "Good thing she woke up and actually made it here tonight."
The portly general let out a guffaw.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ (LOL Angel Eyes! OK, anyone else have any performances they would like to do??? Angel Eyes would you still like to do that performance? Just tell me yes, don't do it yet. It will be our closer if you still want to. it was with Iroh and Chong and possibly Zuko right?
Ooo, Hiselement, what are you planning on doing?)

Oh, it's just a little vid of mine. It's nothing great. I'll present it now, I'm sleepy and it's 4 am here >.<. ---------------------------- Kishori pushed me softly, encouraging me to go to the stage. I glared at her, but decided that it was about time I went there and faced the crowd anyway. I fixated my eyes to my feet, too scared to look up. As I climbed up the steps slowly, careful not to trip, all the things that could go wrong came to my head. I shook them off, and stood in the center of the stage. When I finally looked up at the crowd, I found most of them looking at me expectantly. Even him. I cleared my throat and started. "Um, hello everyone. I hope everyone's had a fun time so far." I said shyly. The cheering of the crowd encouraged me, and I continued. "Here's a little something for all of you to enjoy. I hope you like it." I moved to the side as the video started, crossing my fingers behind my back.

*sigh* typical artist! I think as I shake my head. 'just a little video' she said as if it was nothing. but I sit here in silence trying to take it all in. very moving! yes there was a bit that could be fixed at the end but I'm very surprised that this is your first vid. The overall mood and atmosphere of the song was captured very well.

^ Sent you a PM. "Um..." I began but got cut off by Chong. "Hey, why don't you come with me and I'll ask my wife Lily to bandage your head for you?" Before I could even answer, Chong dragged me off by the hand. He started babbling happily to me. "You know that bruise is cool. It's shaped like an arrow. Hey, that reminds me of Master Arrowhead! You know Master Arrowhead, right? Do you know he's travelling with the Avatar? That's right! He's with Sokka! And... where are we?" "Um... at the Music Night II party?" I replied, trying to pry my hand and feeling very bewildered. "Oh... right! Wait, you mean I'm not at Omashu?" "Huh? What-" Chong started running around, wide-eyed. "How did I get here? I was zapped here... by time-traveling spirits!" I smacked my hand to my fore-head Sokka style. "ARRGH!" I forgot I had a huge bruise on my forehead. >.<

Alleluia sat in her seat, speechless. That video had been... well, amazing is what it had been. The song had been epic and the clips had been synchronized wonderfully. They had also clearly been carefully chosen for the most part. Wow. Considering that and Ardor's video, it seemed that the best really was being saved for last. And, considering how wonderful al the previous performances were, that was really saying something.
Alleluia led the stunned crowd in a standing ovation as she jumped up from her seat and clapped wildly! (She had been doing that alot tonight...). She hooped and hollered alng with the rest of them and even stomped her feet! It truly had been an amazing video.

Aw, guys. You're too sweet *hugs*. Well, I'm going now. See you tomorrow! And have fun for the rest of the night! (It's already morning here ;D)
----------------------------
Relieved, Ellie did a little bow, and walked down the stage. She smiled at Mel, Alle, and Angel Eyes (who seemed to have gotten herself in yet another weird situation) and then turned to Kishori. She beamed at her, and they both waved their hands good bye as they headed to Rekha, their flying bison. As they flew away, they could swear they heard someone singing. But they could've been wrong.

Alleluia stood up from her seat and called for the room's attention.
"Alright, everyone, please!" she yelled. The room quieted. "Thank you. Are there anymore performances that any of you would like to share?"

"Dude, calm down!" I yelped at Chong, trying to grab him to stop him.
"Dear, what are you doing?" asked a voice.
Chong and I turned around and we saw Lily, Chong's wife, along with the other hippies staring at us curiously.
"Lily! How did we get here? Were we kidnapped by evil time-traveling spirits?" asked Chong running over (and dragging me since I was holding onto his robe) to hug his wife.
"Umm... I thought we came here because you saw the food and was hungry..." began Lily.
"Oh, right..."
dang hippies... I thought, rolling my eyes and smiling a bit.
Just then, Alleluia made her announcement and I remembered that we were to perform for the closing ceremony.
"Quick!" I yelled, grabbing Chong's hand. "We have a performance to... er, perform!"
With that I dragged them over to where General Alleluia was.
