Taiyo listened at Dazu told her the king's orders. She raised away from the wall and told Teo, "I'll see ya later." She turned to Dazu as they walked over to the stage. "So, Jeong Jeong vs. Longshot....How do we prepare for them?" she asked her.

Dazu shrugged, "No clue, the King's just crazy like that. Maybe he wants us to clean up all the water?" she offered before getting two mops. "At least we get a great view from here! I mean we can see a lot of people." She said before glancing back at Taiyo, "Even Toph and Aang."

Hearing the preteens' names, Taiyo sprung into action. "Then what are we waiting for?! I'm ready to mop!"

Dazu laughed. "Come on." she said while climbing onto the arena. "We can keep look out of Toph and Aang while mopping. We send word to our fellow Taangers and the get closer to tell us what happened."

Taiyo listened intently as she climbed up as well, nodding her head. "OK."
"Quit chit chatting and mop!" Bumi called out.
Taiyo cringed. "We better do more mopping with him watching."

"Eh if we still get the jo done we can watch." Dazu looks up for a minute and lets out a squee. "Taiyo!" she sung "Guess who's by the soup cart!"

Upon heaering that, Dazu takes out her earplugs before answering. "Its Toph and Aang."

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Taiyo screamed like a crazy fangirl. Everyone stopped and looked at her. She covered her mouth. "Sorry."
Toph raised an eyebrow. "What the heck did the other girl tell her for her to scream like that?" Aang shook his head. "I don't wanna know."
They resumed to getting their soup.

Dazu stiffled her own giggle and finished up cleaning her area of the arena. "Hey Taiyo you finished with your part so we can spy on them?" she called to the squeeing teen.

"Hold on," Taiyo replied. She quickly did her part in five minutes and came back. "Ready."

Taiyo faked whistled. Behind the soup cart and Toph not far away? And not to mention the girl can feel vibrations? Taiyo shrugged. If she wanted to be a spy, she'd have to learn to handle taking fatal risks. She quietly sat next to Dazu behind the vendor. She didn't dare say a word, even though that wouldn't help much.

Bumi once more rose up his stone pillar podium, with a build into cone to propel his voice, to address the fans, calling down onto them in a booming, cackling voice, "My People, turn your battle hungry eyes to the ring! It's time for some violence!" The cheers and noise makers of the audience erupted in a raging din throughout the arena, as the fighters made their ways to the edge of the ring. Noting their position, the Lord on High waved his hands to quiet the crowd, and speak, "Now then, From the Eastern side enters the eagle-eyed sniper of Jet's Freedom Fighters! He survived the deadly blades of Mai in round one to come before you now and face his most awesome opponent. Show your appreciation for this Earth Kingdom hopeful, "LongShot!" Once more the cheers burst out like an overflowing dam, and the quiet boy in thering was polite enough to address the fans with a few discrete waves.
"And from the West, we bring you a legendary warrior in his own right, and an infamous outlaw by the Fire Nation's pursuit. The one and only Lord of the Flames, Jeong Jeong!" The cheers for a firebender in earth kingdom territory were usually lacking. Yet the notorious deserter gained an applause even rivalling the local archer. "Yeah, yeah.. let's get this started already. Bow to your partners gentlemen, and someone, ring the Gong!" As the bronze was struck, Bumi's pillar descended, he sourly muttered, they didn't cheer that loud for me."
In the ring, though the gong had sounded, the competitors were yet to respond. Staring at one another across the ring, they took their time eyeing one another, before the young one made the first move. He bowed. "It will be an honor to fight you." Longshot offered in his rarely heard voice.
The white haired man rose a curious brow as a watched the boy for a second. After a brief moment's consideration, he returned the bow. "The same to you. You did quite well in the first round. I look forward to this competition."
"Thank you." Straightening up, the youth in the cooli hat readied his bow. "Shall we begin then?"
The firebending master took up his own stance. "I am ready, when you are." Longshot only returned a nod. setting his first arrow to the string. He bid his time, unmoving, trying to find an opening. A powerful bender like Jeong Jeong could end this all very quickly if the boy made the wrong first step. Every shot had to count. He ignored the fans as they called for the fight to start, and respectfully, Jeong Jeong held his stance, allowing the youth to take the first move. Longshot would have to remember to thank the elder for the consideration when this was over. But for now... he had to focus on the fight.
It as with a sudden twist of his body that the archer brought his weapon to bare, as he turned to the right and drew back the string. Even before he let the arrow fly, the more experienced firebender was performing the predicted movements. And as the arrow was set whizzing through the air, Jeong's fire was already sparking the air, cutting a glowing orange path which charred the wood of the arrow in an instant and lashed out toward the freedom fighter, who narrowly avoided, as he was already running mid way through the shot. He quickly notched another arrow, as Jeong Jeong easily kicked back his left leg, sending out a spurt of flame to cut off Longshot's path. With amazing reflexes the young archer leapt into the air, front flipping over the flames, as he managed to aim his bow and fire. Jeong Jeong gave a smirk at the boy's energy, remembering a time when he could do such a thing as well. Yet it is hardly a time for nostalgia when an arrow is flying for your chest. Little matter though, as with a gesture a burst of fire charred it as it did the first.
Longshot's momentum carried him foreward as he landed, and quick footing set him running once more, as he whipped two more arrows from his quiver, pulling them back on the string and letting them simultaneously fly. Jeong Jeong was not put out, as he gave one wide sweep of fire before himself, burning away both arrows in one shot. Yet as the fires cleared from his vision, he noted with some surprise, he had lost sight of his opponent. "Huh?" The sound of the releasing bow, called his attention back to the left, where he barely managed to throw up a protective fire, as he fell back a step in avoidance. Three more arrows burned away, and not his eyes caught Longshot. A bit impressed the old warrior noted, 'Clever boy, he used my own fire against me to mask his movements. Quick runner he is too.' His thoughts were paused though, as Longshot readied a couple more arrows. Not giving him time to mount another assault, Jeong Jeong thrust forth with a punching flame burst. The fire ball narrowly missed the quickly dodging freedom fighter, scorching the back edge of his hat as he rocked forward. He quickly moved to sprintaway, but found another fireball rocketing at his planned path, it was all he could do to stumble in place to avoid, as it hissed by inches from his chest. Feeling it better to attack than sit and take shots, he hastily spread his arms and let the two arrows on his string fly.
Even for a sloppy shot, they were well placed body shots, if only they survived long enough to reach their target. But at least the distraction of defending, gave Longshot another attempt to move. Once mroe he was running, and now his opponent was on the attack, sending out a rapid succession of sweeping flame spurts, which chased Longshot's heels as he circle Jeong Jeong, looking for his opening. Finally, in one definitive stroke, Jeong Jeong cut his arm out through the air, whipping out a tentacle of fire to cut off Longshot's path. Again, the archer's flexibility amazed, as he spun on his heel and came back around with his bow drawn. Taking a quick aim, he let his arrow fly with determination. Jeong Jeong returned in kind, throwing his fist forth to blast out one more fireball, passing right over the arrow and straight for Longshot. The blazing ball buzzed by his face, scorching his hat and catching the top section of his bow. The string was burning. He would not have another shot. Yet patiently, he watched the response of his last one.
Jeong Jeong stared back in surprise, as he gripped his arm in pain. He looked down at the arrow lodged in it in disbelief, before staring back at his young opponent. Longshot let out a held breath, as he took off his burning hat, and patted it out, and yanked away what was left of the burning string of his bow. With his weapon disabled, he could not go on. But even with one arm, Jeong Jeong could continue. With a polite nod of his head, to his opponent, Longshot rose his hand, presumably to announce his forfeit. Yet.... "I submit!" The boy's expression gaped, as the elder warrior's hand rose and he rushed to speak first.
Bumi shrugged as he rose his platform back up. "As you wish... Winner, LONGSHOT!!" The hometown fans cheered on in a ruckus, while the victor stood dumbstruck.
As Jeong Jeong approached, all the usually silent boy could manage was, "Why?"
"Because, you beat me." The old man offered sagely.
"But, you can still fight."
The warrior nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, but there is nothing to gain from further violence. You beat me in thought." The firebender grinned in some amusement. "I got so used to burning right through those wooden arrows, I never saw this metal one coming. If you had aimed to kill instead of main, this battle's victory would be unquestionable. Well Done."

Dazu stepped lightly to the side making her vibratioons seem like a bugs, and peered out to the side. He all seeing eyes tuned their attntion to two preteens who at the moment getting soup. "Hey isn't this like the soup we had when we first met?" Aang asked. Toph tasted the soup and smiled, "Yeah it is! It tasts just as good too!" "Lemme have a taste." Aang said as Toph handed him a spoon. "You're right!. It tastes great!"
Dazu then turned and went to congadulate Longshot, "You coming Taiyo? Or do you need more squeeing time?"
((NO RP: You think we could have Toph's parents in this one, you know to be the parental 'OMG MY DAUGHTER!!!!!'? They weren't in the last shipbash!))
