Non RP: Sorry, I've been a bit too busy to post the last couple days. Allow me to make up for it.
Hakoda vs. General Fong
Aang risked another glance back over his shoulder. As soon as Toph sensed his head turn, she quickly turned hers away. She had decided that if he wasn't going to answer her swamp question, she wasn't going to talk at all. He had asked her why she was still following him if she was ignoring him, to which the last words she spoke to him were, "It doesn't prove anything to not speak to you when you're not around." Strange as it sounded, it did make some sense.
So, they continued on their way, ending up in the ring entrance corridor, the water tribe members were husy wishing Hakoda good luck. Upon seeing the children approach, the elder warrior called out, "Oh, Avatar Aang. Come to watch my fight and see where my children got all their talent from?"
Aang smiled as he saw the good spirits of the group, and was about to answer before Sokka amended proudly, "That's right, this is the man I get all my skills from after all."
This time Toph cut Aang off, "Then lets hope the original is better than the copy. Otherwise you better forfeit right now, Hakoda."
"Hey!" Sokka impotently whined back, while everyone else started laughing. Aang gave another glance back to the giggling earthbender. But as soon as she sensed his head turn her way, once more she aberted her face, sealing her mouth shut to end her laughing prematurely.
'Oh, come one. How long can she stayed mad over something this silly?' Aang thought to himself as he groaned aloud.
"Well, the fight's about to start. Better get out there." Hakoda noted as he turned to head for the ring. He was paused by a sudden hug from his daughter.
"Good luck, Dad." Katara offered along with an affectionate squeeze
And from beside them, Sokka suggested plainly, "This guy's a real jerk, be sure to teach him a good lesson."
"I will." Hakoda assured his son, as he returned his daughter's hug. Then setting his children aside he headed off to his battle. The proud General was already waiting for him. Standing in full armor and flowing cape, he looked fresh for the battlefield. And the superior scowl upon his countenance suggested that he was wasting his time with this pointless competition. All the same, the good natured water tribesman offered a polite bow before his opponent. "Good luck in the fight, General."
Fong rose a queer brow to his opponent's well wishes, retorting soundly, "I don't need luck. I have power on my side." 'As if I'd lose to some old fighter who can't even bend.' He scoffed at the thought.
"Well, good luck all the same." Hakoda reiterated with a casual smile to the sturdy soldier before him.
"RIGHT THEN, LETS GET THE NEXT FIGHT OVER WITH. HAKODA OF THE SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE VS. GENERAL FONG OF THE EARTH KINGDOM. FIGHT!"
"That wasn't much of an introduction." Fong muttered in mild complaint to Bumi's yelling, barely paying any mind to Hakoda rushing at him, club ready. When the water tribe veteran was but a couple yards away, the General finally acted, nonchalantly stomping the ground to raise a pillar of stone between him and the charging man. At this point a fighter with only a close range weapon and no bending ability could only come around one side of the pillar to close the gap and attack. Grinning at his one calculated efforts, the general laid a hand on the pillar and awaited the split second the fighter appeared to explode the pillar in that direction. This match would be over in under three seconds. And there it was, the flash of Hakoda's club coming around the left hand side of the pillar. With a grunt and a twist of his hand, Fong's bending caused the pillar to burst in scatter of stone debri in that direction. This would be more than enough to end the water tribe warrior. That is, if it had hit him. "Huh?!" As the the pillar blew away, Fong's smirk faulted at the sight of Hakoda standing behind it. "Feint..." Realization struck quickly. Hakoda never came around the pillar, he just flashed his weapon to throw off his opponent. Now he was in position, weapon ready, while the cocky Fong had already presumed the fight won. As the club come down on him, he had no time to bend, all he could do was curl up his armored arm to defend his chest. The club's impact surged straight through the plating and reverberate to Fong's bones. He grunted harshly at the throb of pain in his arm, but made himself move back to avoid the already coming second blow. He dodged by mere inches, but it was all he needed. While Hakoda shifted his weight for a third consecutive strike, Fong had all the time he needed to retalliate. With double footed stomp the ground shook in a sizable radius around himself. Caught in the shockwave, Hakoda lost his footing, falling forward to his hands and knees. "Gotcha now, tribal." The General spat out harshly. With an upward thrust of his strong hand, a stone pillar shot up under Hakoda, aimed for his gut. Instinctively the warrior was able to roll aside in time to avoid serious injury, but the rushing rock did graze his ribs in a stunning burst of pain. He rolled away several feet, but the general gave him no time to rest. And as Hakoda saw Fong's foot connect with the ground, the water tribesman knew to force his body to roll quickly again. It was all he could do to brace his club under his chest where he felt the ground rising. It kept his ribcage from being crushed in and shot him up to his feet. Though it was hardly a graceful escape, as he stumbled backwards trying to regain his footing. And once more Fong leaped at the show of weakness.
With a thrust of his hand, Fong commanded the top half of the pillar he just raised to break off an fly for Hakoda, who barely parried himself aside with another quick club guard. Not detered, the General kicked out his foot next, sending the bottom half of the pillar his enemy's way. With a quick hop back, Hakoda dodged this as well, and finally had the footing he needed in order to shift his weight into a forward assault once more. Fong griped at the evasion, "Your a lucky little fighter, but you can't run for ever." With a kick to ground, Fong called another pillar to rise up before Hakoda in a slanted trajectory aimed for his chest. Surprisingly nimble for his age, the veteran leap frogged the speaing head of the pillar and landed arse first on the bakc of it, sliding down it like a staircase banister. "YEEOOOWW!!!" Fong cried out as Hakoda's club came down with his weight behind it, upon the general's bare left foot. Lifting the wounded appendage in shocked pain, Fong was left completely off balance when Hakoda swept the other lef out from under him, sending the proud General toppling face first to the ground.
"Barefoot on the battlefield, I don't know how you earthbenders don't see that as a disadvantage." Hakoda commented jovially, as he rushed to straddle Fong's back. Before the General could respond, a lenght of cord was hastily wrapped about his ankles and his arms were yanked back. Wrists bound just as fast, he was hog-tied in seconds, and still stunned from his fall. "But as a general, I guess I shouldn't question your judgement." Hakoda added insult to injury.
"WELL, I'D SAY THIS IS ALL WRAPPED UP. WINNER, HAKODA!"
The fans cheered the water tribe victor, While Fong lie in utter disbelief. "No... way..." He watched Hakoda stand, brush himself off and begin back toward the corridor. It all seemed so surreal, as Fong contemplated. 'I... lost...? I lost to some water tribe nobody?! No! It can't be!' Desperately he wriggled his hands, trying to get free. "I can't lose to the likes of him." Fong grumbled out through clenched teeth, as his hands came free of their hasty bindings. "I won't lose!" He cried out as he rose up and slammed both hands on the ring floor, putting all of his bending will into one desperate assault, shooting up a gargantuan stone slab to flip over onto the retreating warrior.
"Dad!" Sokka and Katara called out to their father, who went wide out as the shadow of the stone cast over him. He knew he would not be able to move fast enough to get out of the way. "Look out!"
"NNNNOOOOOO!!!" Katara's final cry was drowned out by the impact of the stone. Dust clouds spurted up, and more screams erupted from a shocked audience. Yet, the General was pleased.
"Gotcha now, you lil..." But once more, he spoke too soon. "No way..." As the dust cleared it was apparent, the slab never crashed fully to the ground. It had been stopped. "H.... how...?" From the other side of the slab, water tribe already knew. There under the slab were Aang and Toph, holding up the stone in their mirrored style.
"SHAMEFUL!" Bumi's call came down, a split second before he landed. As his feet touched the ground a rock pillar shot up under Fong, sending him flying into the stands. "Learn to lose with some dignity."
"Dad!" The water siblings rushed to their Father's side, as Toph and Aang flipped the stone slab back into place.

Taiyo entered just in time to see one of the most disgusting actions she could've seen from a sore loser. "Aw, come on!" Taiyo screamed at him. "Even Azula got more dignity than that!" She pulled out a piece of emerald and chunked it at his head.
Non RP: General Fong, I meant.

Bitter returned to the bash just in time for the next fight. "What's your problem Long Feng"? Bitter gave Long Feng a dirty look and went off to congradulate Hakoda. "Nice job 'Koda", said bitter smiling at the warrior as he humbly exepted the compliment. Then she turned to Toph and Aang. "Does your mirror earthbending mean you made up"? Aang looked at Toph who shrugged. "Alright then", said Bitter as she went off to get some soup.

Lunauc sighs at Taiyo, "Don't throw away expensive gems to hit unconcious people. He didn't even feel it." Moves over to grab Fong by the binding on his ankles. "Use cheap hard stone. It's cost effective, and damage effective." With that sage wisdom, the masked man began dragging the defeated general away toward the prisoner holding area, a bearded face craping a bloody trail in their wake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Down in the ring, Katara and Sokka were doting over their father, who seemed to collapse, following the slab flip incident. "Are you alright? Did it hit you?" Katara asked in troubled concern, as her father pushed himself up to sit.
Sokka hastily kneeled at Hakoda's side, to help him up, warning, "Don't move too quick, Dad. You might.."
"I'm fine." Hakoda insisted, shooing his chidren away. "I just tripped trying to get away from that sneak attack." He looked up to their skeptical gazes, insisting sternly, "Trust me, I'm fine."
"Al-alright, Dad." Sokka stuttered out, as he reached down to wrap an arm under his father's left to help pull him up to a stance.
With a wince Hakoda pulled away. "I said I'm fine, Sokka." With his other arm, the elder warrior pushed himself up to stand on his own. "I'm not so old yet that I can't triumphantly walk out on my own." Hakoda gave his son a grin and a wink. But with a worried expression, Sokka glanced to his father's left side. In a bit of annoyance, Hakoda slapped out his right hand to his son's arm, gaining his attention, and a yelp. "Besides, you have your own fight to focus on, son. Make me proud."
Sokka's worry cleared with a content grin. "I will dad."
Hakoda nodded to his son and turned to leave the ring, meeting Bato along the way. The slwoly made their way back into the corridor, cheers from the repectful audience chasing his back into the shadow of the hall. Hakoda waited until the moment he was out of sight to let his body give out. "Hakoda!" Bato was quick to catch his injured friend. "Dammit. I knew something was wrong. You're never that cool."
Hakoda gave a bemused chortle, admitting, "Yeah, the jerk got in a lucky shot when I was on the ground. I thik a couple of ribs are broken."
Bato grimaced, "I'll get Katara to heal you."
Hakoda nodded weakly, "Alright. but don't let Sokka know. His match is about to start, and I don't want him worrying about his old man."
Bato grinned at his friend's paternal pride. "Don't worry, after seeing how strong his father is, I don't think he'll be worrying anytime soon."
Back out in the ring, Sokka and Katara gravitated to their father's saviors. Katara pulled Aang in to a sudden hug, kissing the monk on the cheek. "Thank you." Aang blushed in his goofy, pubescent manner, while Toph turned her head and scoffed his immaturity, just before she too was drawn into Katara's embrace and likewise kissed. Her cheeks reddened just as much in embarrassment. "Thank you both."
"Yeah..." Sokka rubbed the back of his head, searching for words that would not quite come. "I don't know what to say... just... thanks."
"It's our pleasure." Aang happily announced.
Toph agreed beside him, "Yeah, it's not like we could just stand back and watch your Dad get squashed."
"AAaaaaawww.... that's so touching." Bumi cooed as he strolled over to the group. "Now get out of the ring. You're in the way of the next match."
"Right... sorry. Whatever were we thinking having a sentimental moment when there are people waitng for pointless violence?" Katara oozed sarcasm.
Bumi just nodded back, seriously agreeing, "Well, as long as you realize your mistake, it's alright. Now... pony-tail boy stays, everyone else, out."
Katara sighed and turned to leave, patting her brother on the shoulder in passing, "Good Luck, Sokka."
"Yeah, good luck." Aang agreed.
While Toph joked, "Try not to lose too badly."
"Yeah, yeah..." Sokka wiped off their words, stating simply as they left him, "I don't need luck. I am my Father's son after all."
As the trio came into the corridor, Bato was there to meet them, asking quickly, "Katara, we need you for a moment. Please, come along."
Her expression was serious, she could tell by the way her father was moving that he was hurt. Now it was time to make sure it was not bad. With a nod she assured Bato, "I'm on my way." But she stopped once more to address Toph and Aang, "Thanks again you guys. I don't know what we'd do if anything happened to our Dad."
"Don't mention it, Katara."
"Yeah, we're friends after all, Sugar queen."
Katara grinned wide to the children, adding kindly, "Yeah, I'm just happy you two chose that moment to stop fighting." With that she turned and jogged away to find her Father.
Aang blinked after her, "How'd she know we were fighting?" He turned his gaze toward Toph, and once more, as she sensed his head turn her way, she averted her face aside with a callouse "Hrmph". Aang Gaped at a show a persistent grudge. 'She's still mad?' But as Toph's head slowly turned back his way and a slight grin traced her lips, he knew she was just kidding. She gave him a small nod, which he returned, and that was that, a small, silent truce.

Sokka vs. Joo Dee Fuey!
"Okay, so where's my opponent, so I can thoroughly thrash his a**?" Sokka confidently asked of the addle minded earth king.
Bumi raised himself back up onto his pillar before yelling out the answer, "SOKKA OF THE SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE, YOUR OPPONENT IS..." There was a pause as Lunauc let a cuffed and bound prisoner into the ring. "JOO DEE!"
As the cloaked was pulled away, one of the hypnotized clone tour guides of Ba Sing Se stood before the audience, chains still binding her arms, as she smiled vapidly to Sokka, greeting pleasantly, "Hello, and welcome to this happy meeting."
Sokka's face faulted at the sight. It took his shocked mind a few seconds to pull it all toghether, before screaming up to Bumi, "WHAT IS THIS? SOME KIND OF STUPID JOKE!"
"NO!!" Bumis screamed back, though in following took a second to think it over, "At least I don't think it is. I get confused sometimes." Once more he called down mightily, "MINION, WAS THIS A JOKE?"
Lunauc sighed heavily, as he got Joo Dee's cuff's off. "No, your majesty. it's a real fight."
"Well.. there you have it." Bumi pleasantly spoke to Sokka, before yelling once more, "NEVER QUESTION MY JOKES AGAIN! NOW, FIGHT!"
"Wait until I'm out of the ring at least!" Lunauc called as he high-tailed it out of the way.
Joo Dee slowly made her way toward Sokka, that creepy smile never leaving her face. Unsurely, Sokka tried to converse with her, "Listen... I-I don't want to hurt you, alright. So, how about you just forfeit and we can move on?"
The deliriously smiling woman gave a slight chortle at his proposal answering back in the sweetest of tones, "That is very kind and thoughtful of you. But I am going to have to kill you now."
"Say wha-?"
"HIYAH!" The punch was straight, fast and extremely painful, as it connected squarely with Sokka's jaw. As he started to come around a couple of seconds later, he had to fight his swirling consciousness to recall why he was staring up at the arena's ceiling. He didn't exactly remember it all, but this time he knew to react, when he heard, "HIYAH!" The sight of Joo Dee front flipping in the air above him and extending a leg to come down on him like an axe was more than enough motivation to get him to roll out of the way, even if he didn't know what was going on.
"No Way!" Sokka bleary mind tried to catch up with him, as he came up to crouched stance, looking back to Joo Dee, the foot she'd kicked out now embedded in the cracked stone of the ring floor. The delirious woman straightened up slowly, turning her gaze back upon him, that unnatural smile beaming at him like a death ray.
"Please do not run away. You will only suffer longer that way." Her kind, polite tone was an eery dichotomy to her murederous intent.
"Gee... isn't that kind of you?" Sokka sarcastically remarked, before Joo Dee moved to come after him once again. She led in with a hard straight kick, which would have gone straight through his abdomen had he not jumped aside. in time. A straight punch followed suit for his head. Sokka barely ducked back to avoid it. The feel of the wind blown away by the punch was enough to let him know he might not have a dace left had she connected. It was quickly setting into his mind just how dangerous this Joo Dee was. "What in the Spirit World are you?!"
"I am Joo Dee." She answered sweetly. "HIYAH!" A hard punch for his chest had Sokka on the run. "I asked you kindly not to run. It will only tire you out and make it harder for me to land a clean lethal blow. You do not want to simply lose an arm or leg or be paralyzed. It is much more humane if I kill you in one blow."
"Stop saying stuff like that!" Sokka called back to the smiling woman, who chased him around the ring.Odd as this whole situation was, he really did have to come up with something if he did not want to die."Maybe I should submit instead." He mused for a moment on the possibility to save his skin. But a flash of his Father's strong stature leaving the ring shot into the young warrior's mind. "No." Stopping suddenly he turned to face Joo Dee, who was quick to catch up.
"Thank you for stopping. I'll end you quickly now. HIYAH!" She stopped short with a straight hard kick for his stomache, which Sokka was thankful he avoided. He tried to close in for a counter with his club, but her arm pulled back for one of her monstrous punches.
'I can't get hit by that!' Warning signals went off in his head, as Sokka hastily spun aside to avoid the lethal punch. He skidded to a stop, trying to set himself to attack her from the side, but seeing her shift her stance to through out a deadly left punch, he quickly backed off again.
"HIYAH!" The punch sliced the air audibly, and Joo Dee stepped in for a slow deliberate kick at him. "HIYAH!" Again, the kick was one that could have cut him in half, but he was fast enough to avoid. As she stepped in for another punch it started to dawn on him. "HIYAH!"
'Wait a minute.' As Sokka watched the punch miss him as he barely shifted, he started to realize, 'Her aim stinks. She can hit super hard. But she moves so slow and telegraphs every blow.' The first punch, which almost knocked him out had him running scared. Now, as he carefully watched her movements, beginning to dodge one attack after another, he understood, 'I've got it.' As he saw another punch coming, he stepped in.
"HIYAH!" Sokka came in low, letting the punch come in over his shoulder, and as he did, he grabbed Joo Dee by her wrist and reached back to grab her shoulder as he spun his hip into her gut. With the force of her own punch, Sokka tossed the killer tour guide over his shoulder to fall hard on her butt. "OOWWCCHH!!"
"Phew..." Let out a breath of relieve that he survived the attempt, as he watched Joo Dee stay on the ground, rubbing her bruised behind and.. crying...?
"Wahahaha.... that hurt, you creep! Why did you do that?!" Her smiling facade had broken with a slight introduction of pain.
"Um... I'm sorry." Sokka started, but quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no I'm not.. you were trying to kill me!"
"Yeah, but at least I wasn't trying to hurt you!" She bickered back, tears in her eyes.
"Huh?!"
"WINNER, SOKKA!" Bumi called down, adding offhand, "Even if he is a big mean jerk, who hits women."
"Hey!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT: I'm going to throw in the next two fights to catch up. Still ahead for the first round are Mai xLong SHot, Azula vs. Smellerbee and Toph v. Xin Yu. If anyone wants to write them, I probably won't get around to it tonight, so feel free. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hanh vs. Th Masked Foamer!
"Um... is that all he does?" Hanh asked, as he pointed at the masked man convulsing on the floor, foaming at the mouth.
"UUuuuuuuhhh..." BUmi called down, "MINION!"
"I'm right here." Lunauc stated from beside Bumi, groaning at himself for starting to accept that damnable nickname.
"Right.." Bumi pointed to the man seizuring down on the ring, "Is that all he does?"
"UUuuuummmm..." Watching the man for a moment, and seeing no change, other than rolling from his back to front, Lunauc shrugged, "I guess so."
Bumi crooked a a fuzzy white brow, pondering aloud, "Then why'd we book him?"
"We needed space filler, and he's popular with the kids."
"Oh." Bumi nodded in apparent understanding. "WINNER, HANH!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ty Lee vs. Kachee
"FIGHT!" Lunauc dropped his bag of Fire Flakes and bent over to retrieve them. "WINNER, TY LEE!"
"What?!" Lunauc spun around, "What happened?" As he looked up, a second later, the guan dao wielding Rough Rhino was face down on the ring floor.
"You missed that?" Bumi asked from aside. "Too bad... it was amazing."

WW, walks in. Hey a fight let me see!!
"Oh I missed it!" WW shouted, WW soon got over it and walked toward the food table. "Oh look genimite rings!", "NOOOOOOO, DON'T WEAR IT!!!!" Sokka shouted but it was to late and WW had already put it on, and it had started growing. WW yelled startled at how fast it grew. WW tried the only thing crazy enough to work, Sokka and Katara had not thought of it befor, he ate the ring which was made of rock candy so it didn't hurt. " Oh yeah Aang I bought you a present." WW said and handed over a small box with holes in it and something russling inside. "Thanks, what is it?" Aang said, he opened the box and a little fuzzy hermit crab (from the airtemple) squinted at the sudden rush of light and looked up at Aang with pleeding eyes as though he was saying "Look after me". "He's so cute!!!" Katara squeled ************************************ GO TAANG!!!!! but I don't know if I had to continue it or not but, I liked it.

Bitter cheered loudly as Joo Dee kicked Sokka's butt, but her exitment turned into anger when she saw Sokka hurt her. When Hahn and the masked foamer started fighting she walked up to Sokka and hit is head with ehr purse. "You creep"! Bitter tossed her head and walked away leaving Skka there.
"Okay, " said Sokka, "What the hell just happened"?

Taiyo placed her hands over her mouth about the Joo Dee VS. Sokka saga. "I didn't know she could harm like that." But she laughed at the Foamer VS. Hahn. "Not surprising about Ty Lee with her chi blocking." She saw Toph and Aang watching with shockness on their face. "Hopefully you two will battle each other." She sighed dreamily. "Just like Whisper into the Sky."
The preteens looked at her as if she done lost her marbles. "What the heck is Whisper into the Sky?" they asked. Taiyo blushed at the sound of the title. "It's an awesome fanfic. You might wanna check it out for the fun of it."
She left them there looking confuzzled and got herself some more fire flakes.
