Tricking Reality

Part 15

Say hello to my sweet baby Ethan!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!

At the meantime, Scarlet had cartwheeled towards the scene and used her closed glider to swipe at the soldiers in a distance. A stream of air swiped at them, causing them to stumble backwards. "What are you doing!?" Sakura yelled at her.

"I'm helping," Scarlet huffed as she opened her glider and flew up.

Sakura cursed under her breath and shot water towards the soldiers- Though, this time, it was targeted towards their feet. For a second, the soldiers were confused but Sakura took this time of confusion to rise her touching index finger and thumb. The water under their feet had frozen. Up in the sky, Scarlet closed her glider again and swiped below her- Causing a stream of air on the soldiers and everyone below. Scarlet smirked as she opened her glider. A soldier had shot a chunk of earth towards her which had destroyed her glider. Scarlet gasped and angrily looked towards the soldier who did it as she fell. "Scarlet!" Sakura gasped, looking up towards her while another soldier took this advantage to sink her into the ground.

Ethan held his arms up; ready to catch her. But before she had hit the ground, her hand swirled into a ball and created a cushion of air to softly land on. Ethan had been BLOWN away by this action and stumbled backwards on the ground. "Ethan!" Scarlet gasped and helped him up.

He merely chuckled, "You really blew me away that time."

Scarlet chuckled and lightly tousled his already messy hair.

Tala punched the air as she shifted one foot forward. A stream of burning fire flamed towards the soldiers. "Now how did you do that one move.." she mumbled as she formed her hand into a gun with her last two fingers folded down and her first three fingers up- with the index and middle pressed together.

Slowly, as if she was controlling the flow inside her- Moved in a V formation with her two hands. Statics of lightning began to form around her and then around her arms and hands. She did the V formation again and forcefully pointed her gun-shaped hand towards the soldiers which directed the lightning towards them. The lightning struck the ground and a giant explosion was created.

Sakura continued to sink deeper in the Earth as Ethan and Scarlet tried to pull her back up on the ground. "Stop consuming her, ground!" Scarlet grunted as her feet slipped.

Ethan continued to try and pull Sakura up, "We need- the Earthbenders to release her!"

Tala was busy striking lightning towards the soldiers constantly. Scarlet looked back and huffed, "Release her!" she yelled.

"Not unless you surrender yourselves," a new voice came.

There was a man who looked to be a high-ranking general and several more soldiers lined perfectly behind him. He stomped on the ground and Sakura's torso was consumed; only leaving her neck and head above the ground.

Scarlet and Ethan held their ground as the general raised his foot again- Threatening that he wouldn't hesitate to stomp on the ground. Scarlet sighed and dropped her glider on the ground. Ethan saw this and crossed his arms. The general smirked and the four of them were taken into custody to see the King of Omashu.

The King and the Aang hugged; happy to be reunited with each other. "So this crazy King... is your old friend Bumi?" Katara asked while the King munched on the candy rock.

The King dropped both of his hands to the side, "Who you calling old?"

There was a moment of silence before he spoke again, "Okay, I'm old."

"Why did you do all of this instead of just telling Aang who you were?" it was Sokka's turn to ask a question this time.

"First of all, it's pretty fun messing with people," he snorted, "but I do have a reason!" he turned to face Aang.
