Chapter 69: A Kingdom Compromised Part 2

Kanna fights with her team (Dade, Arret, a firebender, and a spearman) against a DOJ unit on the Western side of Ba Sing Se. They are fighting alongside several Earth Kingdom troopers (an earthbender, a spearman, and a swordsman). The DOJ team consists of two swordsmen, a spearman, a waterbender, an archer, and a seven-foot-tall heavy trooper with a hammer.

Arret launches an arrow into the DOJ archer's neck while a cultist swordsman swings diagonally at Dade. Dade backpedals and blocks the strike then kicks his enemy in the man's left leg. The duelist stumbles and Dade thrusts his sword into the trooper's stomach, "Awwwaa!"

A firebender pumps a brick of orange fire into the waterbender's chest while a spearman lunges at Kanna. Kanna does a right cartwheel then kicks a dark flame from her left leg into the man's stomach. The flame explodes on impact and the spearman flies three feet in the air and three feet back, "Ahhhhaaa!!"

A 31st spearman pounds his weapon through a DOJ swordman's gut. An earthbender launches a large stone column into the brute's face, the heavy man falls. Dade: "Wow, that was too easy."

Karanga emerges with a firebender, an earthbender, and three of her fists. Karranga's fists (assassins) include one with a spear, another with dual swords, and another with a long silver sword. Karanga smiles, "Not bad, now try that against us."

Kanna grins back, "Oh, it will be my pleasure."

Karanga extends her arms and shoots a volley of wrist blades at the young lady. Kanna's eyes widen and she slides left. The earthbender looks at her but he is too slow, Karanga shoots a volley of metal projectiles into him. Kanna yells, "No!"

Karanga shouts back, "Yes!" The assassin shoots another barrage of shoots at Kanna and the firebender flips right. The earth kingdom spear and swordsman attempt to charge at her. Karanga shoots a wrist blade into the spearman's abdomen and another into the swordman's left shoulder. The swordsman falls injured, and the spearman dies.

Kanna lunges at Karanga and punches two dark orange flames at her. Karanga sways left, dodging the first one. The assassin ducks to evade the second blast. Karanga swirls her hands forward and shoots another barrage of shots at the lieutenant. Kanna sprints right.

Meanwhile one of Karanga's Fists (assassins) hops right of Dade's position. The assassin lunges at Dade with impeccable speed. Dade rolls right then cuts down the man with an upper slash. Another warrior with dual swords briskly swipes at Dade's neck. The young marine ducks then skips forward and thrusts his sword into the man's gut. Dade: "Another one bites the dust."

Arret flicks an arrow at sword assassin's midsection. The assassin swats it aside then swats a second arrow away that is fired at his abdomen. The man charges at Arret, but a firebender intervenes and pumps a rod of orange fire at the man's chest. The assassin bobs behind the firebender and impales him. Arret shoots an arrow at the exposed assassin but the man rotates his body and bats the arrow aside.

Dade notices an earthbender jump in front of him. Dade: "Not again." The earthbender directs a beam of rocks at the marine and Dade retreats into a nearby building.

Arret thinks, "Well that's creative." Arret rotates her bow and shoots an arrow into the bender's forehead. The assassin charges closer to her then lunges in for a killing blow. Arret swiftly rotates her body and launches an arrow into the man's chest just in the nick of time. A firebender jumps at Arret at kicks an orange flame at her face.

Arret rolls right then the marine spearman chucks his weapon into the firebender's lower chest. Meanwhile, Kanna continues to engage Karanga. Kanna pumps two dark orange flames at her opponent. Karanga slides left and Kanna pulls her hands forward before firing a blaze of dark orange and gold fire at the assassin.
