Chapter 7: Fuel Depot Part 2

Twisted Fate

Hakon hears explosions and sees several blue flames fly in the air. Seconds later he notices Alev fly in the sky and shoot massive bright flames. Hakon: "Oh no, Alev's fighting Azula! And it looks like the 31st is here! This is not going according to plan, I never knew the 31st was here! Everyone start evacuating, I'll help Alev!"

Seconds later Kanna leaps down from the balcony ahead of Hakon. Three firebenders look at her. One firebender (ahead of her), one swordsman (left of her), and another firebender (right of her position). The first firebender immediately hurls a flame at the 31st scout. Kanna leaps right, moving fast like a leopard. Only fighters like Mai and Ty Lee seem that have speed that rivals her.

A second later Kanna leaps forward and hurls her own beam of dark orange and gold explosive fire into the swordsman left of her position. The firebender closest to her rotates his body and punches two fireballs at her. Kanna leaps in the air over her opponent and the man quickly raises his head and punches another flame at Kanna while she is airborne. Kanna rotates her body while in the air to avoid the flame before landing behind her opponent.

The firebender prepares to strike again as Kanna horizontally extends her left leg and pops a flame into the man's stomach. Hakon extends his arms and shoots a ray of light red and white fire at her. Kanna rolls left and Hakon signals for the other firebender to fall back. Hakon: "Kanna, it has been some time."

Kanna: "Who are you again?"

Hakon sighs, "I'm the one you fought in the Nyarri tournament. Right before the quarter finals."

Kanna: "Oh yeah you, you were pretty good. My second best opponent after, Kett..." The mere mentioning of his name disturbs her. Someone like Alev would have taken advantage of a comment like that but Hakon is a straightforward opponent.

Hakon: "I've refined my skills a lot since then. You choose a bad day to stand against my unit. I have worked hard to get this far and I won't let you ruin my plans."

Kanna: "The funny thing about plans is, things never really go according to plan. Macai learned that the hard way but it made him a better person."

Hakon: "If you were trying to sound wise, I recommend you leave that for someone like Iroh. Besides, I haven't the time to hear your improvised fables." Hakon enters his battle stance.

Kanna enters her battle stance, "Well ok, Mr. Grumpy. Show me your skills!" Hakon rotates his hands and generates sparks of bright red and white fire. Seconds later, he pops two rapid fireballs at her. Kanna performs two right cartwheels and counters with two dark orange-gold flames. Hakon rotates his arms as he blocks the shots. Kanna spins forward and shoots another beam of fire at him.

Hakon leaps right off the ground and pumps another brick of red fire at her. The flame lands a few feet in front of her and knocks dirt on Kanna's uniform. Kanna grunts, "Ehhhheh! You got my clothes dirty you jerk!" Kanna wipes dirt out of her hair, "And you got it in my hair, you know I just dyed it!"

Hakon rapidly hurls two beams of fire at her. Kanna's eyes light up and she flips several feet forward and left. Hakon shoots another brick of fire at her but Kanna leaps right before she flings a beam of dark orange and gold flames at him. The colonel crosses his arms to block the shot but is knocked ten feet back by Kanna's highly explosive flames (among the most explosive in the nation).

As Hakon slides he leaves a trail of dirt behind him and steam flows from his armor. Hakon briefly wipes dirt out of his own hair and flips back on his feet. Kanna shoots another stream of flames at him. The colonel quickly hops left to avoid being pulverized.
