Sisters

The Feral Pariahs meet again. Miss Gloom stands with her mask alongside Xivak, Zigto, and Hikura. Hikura wears her yellow-green and grey armor. Zigot sporks his light brown and red-orange armor. Xivak stands in his dark grey robes with his long black silk cape. Miss Gloom sports her black and gold armor with her trademark purple mask.

As they begin their charge to the city a battle group of soldiers looks to intercept them. Two firebenders and three sword users step up to the plate. Xivak hurls two spinning stars into one of the swordsmen, but the other is deflected by a duelist. Two firebenders punch their own flames back.

Xivak evades a fire blast while Zigto knocks a flame with his back into one of the duelists before kicking a fireball in the gut of one of the benders. A duelist runs at Hikura and slashes left at her. The earthbender dips then backhand catches the blade by first engulfing her fist with earth armor. 

The earthbender sinks most of the soldier's body into the ground. The firebender goes on a frenzy as he pelts a fire cube at Zigto, Xivak, and Hikura. Hikura blocks the flame by crossing her arms before stomping her feet and launching an earth shockwave at the bender. The man uses all his energy to sprint and jump away.

Zigto spins left to avoid a flame. Xivak turns his cape which puts out the fireball. Xivak hurls a spinning star into the man's sternum. Three spear troopers and two men with shields & hammer step into the fray. A spear soldier throws his weapon at Hikura who raises a rising earth fist that catches it

The earthbender likewise caves a hole in the ground which the man falls down. Another spear fighter lunges at Xivak who directs the spear in the right direction with his sword then leaps right and kicks the fighter in his face. Xivak turns and backhands a spinning star in the remaining spear soldier's stomach.

A fighter with a shield and hammer approaches Zigto. The little firebender pushes a stream of flames from his left hand at the man's shield. The trooper block the blast but is fatigued from his efforts. The other hammer shield user tries to flank Zigto but is met by Sora. 

Sora claps her hands together and rapidly pops a carmine fire surge into the warrior. It happens before he can get his bearings together. Sora's carmine fire is unique in that it is a mixture of red and violet fire. Red is the least hot type of fire, but violet is the hottest possible flame; even hotter than Azula's blue fire. Violet dragons were the rarest type of dragons and were largely forgotten about.

Even when Macai was educated about dragons and flames the instructor had no knowledge of violet fire or dragons. Sora's carmine flame paired with it white interior makes her fire about equal to Zerrel's yellow flames or Zuko's rainbow fire, being moderately hotter than average.

This symbolizes Sora's sheer mastery of her element with fire that combines simplistic effectiveness with rare excellence. Sora turns and back kicks a blaring burst of red-violet fire into the other shield fighter that is facing off against Zigto. Three archers finally arrive just as the Feral Pariahs are making it to the City Hall's entrance.

Archer: "Don't let them make it in!" Two archers immediately fire. Zigto swats one arrow away while Hikura narrowly dives past another. Sora extends her arms and pushes two long beams of carmine fire into two of the archers. They are blown to dust. The remaining archer aims at Sora but Hikura chucks a brick in his face. 

Two glaive troopers stand at the front entrance, but Miss Gloom kicks a rod of fire into the one on the left before overhand punching a flame sphere into the second one. The sphere explodes, blasting the man into bits of burnt armor fragments. 

The Proxy Team chat in Kanna's apartment. Kanna: "That's when I finished knitting it. It took way too much time."

Yoki holds Kanna's pet Skippy, "I can't believe I just found your pet. You haven't shown it to me all this time."

Ron: "So what happened to..." Ron is interrupted by a rowdy knock. Kanna opens the door, and it is Kubala. 

Kanna: "Kubala, you've never come to visit me at this time. How has your morning been? What are you up to?"

Kubala: "The Feral Pariahs are storming the City Hall." 

Kanna gasps, "What?"

Yoki pats Kanna in the back, "It's now or never Kanna. This is our chance to settle the score and try to make things right."

Kanna sighs, "This drama came so soon. Fine, you're right. Kubala my team is ready." Finchai nods.

Ron: "I didn't say I was ready." Everyone looks back at him. Ron: "I'm joking, I'll go." 

For Love's Sake

Sora kicks open the front door to the Mayor's chambers. Jorai cowers behind his table and runs to the very back room. Four of Jorai's guards stand up. One has a sword, one holds a spear, and two of them are firebenders. The guards are led by Alzu, Jorai's Chief Guard.

Alzu has a white cape, a spear, and a silver mask. The other guards have red and white armor. Hikura stomps her right foot against the light brown marble floor and causes several fragments from the ground to glide after a firebender and duelist. The firebender flips left and to safety while the duelist blocks the fragments.

The guards sharply display their skills. A spear fighter goes after Xivak with a left diagonal strike. Xivak weaves right and flicks two spinning stars back at his opponent. The spear fighter turns his spear side-to-side as he repels the stars. The sword user jumps down at Zigto who horizontally blocks a downward thrust.

Zigto swings his bat free and spits a heap of flames into the swordsman. A firebender jabs two flames at Sora who blocks both before left kicking a carmine ray of fire into the man's left nipple, "Arrraahhhhhaa!!" The remaining firebender leaps behind Hikura before kicking a fireball at her right thigh. 

The earthbender intercepts the flame by raising her knee then overhand launches a rock into the man's chin. The spear soldier pushes his weapon at Zigto who stumbles back as he clumsily avoids the hit. The short firebender swats three fireballs back at the spear fighter in rage.

The spear user blocks the first two blasts but is nailed by a third fire shot. Alzu jumps down at Sora as he diagonally hacks at her neck. Sora rolls away before springing back on her feet. Alzu redirects his focus at Xivak as he horizontally lashes at him. The dark grey robed fighter jumps over the hit and kicks at the man's jaw.

Alzu rolls backward, taking away damage from the partial blow. Alzu swings down at Xivak who horizontally blocks the strike then twists his blade free. Xivak tosses a star at the Chief Guard who easily parries the object. Zigto slams his hammer down and propels a fire line at the fighter, but Alzu runs up a table and backflips beside Sora.

Alzu lunges directly at Sora's midsection, but the young woman jumps on his spear before bouncing off and left foot swiping a fireball into the lead guard. Alzu falls back unconsciously and thumps the back of his head against the hard marble floor. Sora steps toward Jorai's room, "I will have my revenge."

Jorai yells from behind a table, "Why me? I didn't start the program."

Sora: "But you continued it, you continued the name."

Jorai: "It's nothing like it was, I don't have the authority to continue a program like that. Now it takes fresh recruits."

Sora: "You know that's not what I mean. You kept the scientific secrets that came from the experiments that were conducted on the first proxies. You kept the results to deepen your own pockets. You also have done things with your budget, resources, prestige, and power to keep yourself high."

Sora continues, "Yet you wonder why I am so against your way of life. When I kill you, it will be a symbol of the long struggle between the peasant and the haughty bureaucrat." Sora kicks Jorai's door open but two swordsmen come out of nowhere to ambush her. 

One swings down at her but Sora sways past him before pushing two streams of carmine fire through his sternum, splitting the man in half. The other duelist swings at her laterally but Sora hops back toward the wall before diagonally hacking the man apart with a firewhip. 

Jorai screams again, "Someone help me PLEASE!!" The Proxy Force storm into the chamber room. Finchai diagonally cuts at Xivak who is forced to vertically block his move. Ron shoots at arrow at Zigto that he bends under. Yoki pushes at table at Hukira that she stops outright.

(A Dark Knight, Music Starts) Sora knows what comes next. Kanna shouts, "SORA!! Leave that man alone."

Sora: "He deserves to die for what he's done." 

Kanna: "That may be true, but he will be punished by the courts. I'll make sure he goes through the process."

Sora: "I've seen that process fail time and time again."

Kanna: "Times are different." Jorai grabs a knife and attempts to sneak behind Sora. Miss Gloom notices the man and back kicks him across the face. The knife flies out of his hand. 

Sora: "See, this fool cannot be trusted." Miss Gloom points her left hand at him and pushes a carmine brick of fire at him, but Kanna kicks her own dark orange fireball into it. Both shots turn to smoke.

Sora points at Kanna, "STOP getting in my way. This isn't what I meant when I said we were family. It was a warning to not be involved."

Kanna: "You can't discourage a sister so easily."

Sora looks down at her fists, "Apparently not. Very well, I will have to teach you the hard way!" Sora pushes two rays of red-violet fire at her, but Kanna flips over the blasts and lands on a table left of her. Sora readjusts her aim and down flicks a fireball from her left hand at her sister. 

Kanna leaps off the table and a chunk of it is blown off. Kanna lands directly across her and pushes a dark orange fire beam at her. Sora raises her arms and generates a carmine fire beam that absorbs her shot. Sora douses her flames and jumps at her sister. 

Kanna swings down with a right cross. Sora rolls her head and swings up with a left jab to Kanna's mouth. Kanna takes a step back and Sora double jabs at her head. Kanna flips right of Sora and double jabs Sora's gut. Sora leaps in and throws an uppercut but Kanna slides back and jumps against the wall before kicking a firewhip at Sora. 

Sora side hops over the whip before she springs ahead with a flying knee. Sora blocks the knee, Kanna transitions her knee to a wide right kick. Sora anticipates the move and slips backward but lowers her hands while doing so. Kanna flicks a fireball at Sora's head, but Sora raises her hands and blocks the blow.

Kanna rolls in front of Sora and left hooks her abdomen. Kanna follows up with a high left hook but Sora dips under it. Kanna throws a straight cross at Sora but Sora grabs Kanna's hand, pulls her in, and knees Kanna in her stomach with a tang combo. Sora follows up with a swift elbow that knocks Kanna back and briefly stuns her.

Sora flings two carmine fire blasts at Kanna, but Kanna diagonally flips beside her. Kanna throws a high overhand punch that Sora raises both of her arms to catch. Kanna stands low and right jabs her sister to the body. Kanna follows up with a quick head overhand, Sora's hair flops from the hit.

Kanna intentionally swings an overhand to the head against which Sora instinctively blocks. Kanna double jabs Sora's left side. Kanna throws a rapid left and right-side hook but Sora parries both. Sora follows up with her own right cross to Kanna's left breast, "yuh." Sora swings high with a left kick to the face.

Kanna ducks under the kick. Sora right check kicks Kanna's left knee cap. Sora fakes a second knee shot and pops Kanna with a straight left jab. Sora glides forward as if she's going to jab Kanna but hooks her with an upper elbow. Kanna sways left to take force from the shot. 

Kanna pivots her body and smacks her sister with a wide left kick. Kanna presses forward and pounds Sora's chest twice. Sora throws a straight overhand punch, but Kanna rolls her head right and low. Kanna hits Sora with a fast right hook to the side and then rises before launching a straight right hand at her face.

Sora blocks the hit and Kanna performs a leg sweep yet Sora jumps over it. Kanna rises but Sora has already gotten past her. Sora flings two carmine fire cubes at her. Kanna ducks her head under one shot but the other pelts her left side. Kanna sighs, "ugh!" 

Kanna pushes a flame stream from her left palm at Sora. Sora jumps high over the attack and tries to wrap her legs around Kanna's neck. Kanna immediately grabs her legs and flips her off. Kanna surrounds her right fist in dark orange fire and sweeps it her sister's head. Sora slips under the hit and swats her own carmine hook at Kanna.

Kanna bobs under the move then Sora generates a red-violet fire dagger and slashes Kanna's left side. Kanna moans then back shoves her left arm against Sora's right hand, butting the flame dagger out of her hand onto the floor. The dagger shatters as it lands.

Kanna pivots her body to meet her sister head on and pops Sora with a right cross. Kanna hits Sora with two swift chest punches. Kanna kicks Sora's back with a spinning kick then pounds her stomach with a hefty punch. Kanna hits Sora with a right up-jab to the head.

Kanna proceeds by left hooking Sora's belly and right hooking her back. Sora turns her back over. Kanna punches Sora two more times with vicious back blows but Sora turns Kanna around and tackles her. The two girls tussle and spiral out of a window before landing on a second story balcony about ten feet under where they were. 

(Music stops)

The duo stands across the open sun. Sora: "You might think you prevented me from taking him down, but my team is still up there fighting you team. If they win, they will kill the mayor. I have faith in them."

Kanna: "Kill people isn't going to solve anything, there are other ways we can get our points across."

Sora: "You still have so much faith in this system, in this world, have you learned nothing?"

Kanna: "Maybe you lost all your faith because your life is hard, that doesn't mean you're right." (War Drums Music- Drums of the Horde, Music Starts)

Ron shoots another arrow at Zigto who knocks it left and into the floor. Ron bolts another arrow that Ron hits up and out of sight. Zigto points his bat forward and pours a flame cascade at the archer.

Ron runs right and bolts an arrow at the man's left side. Zigto bats it out of sight then swats two fireballs at Ron. The nonbender hops left then dips under the second flame. Ron rolls forward and zaps an arrow into Zigto's right side just under his guard. The bender falls and faints. 

Xivak twirls his sword and slashes a reverse right cut at Finchai. The duelist ducks under the hit and horizontally swings low at the man's legs. The Feral Pariah jumps behind his opponent. Fin turns to meet him head on and cuts at his head. Xivak blows high but waits for his opponent. 

Finchai meets Xivak head on and thrusts his blade left then right. Xivak sways his brand each way, parrying both hits. Xivak hashes at his head but Fin ducks and diagonally cuts his enemy across his shoulder. Xivak gasps in astonishment and falls over. 

Hikura hurls two picture frames at Yoki who sways left from one photo and raises her arm so that an earth incline intercepts the other. Yoki turns her left arm halfcocked and the incline splits in half. The upper half soars at Hikura laterally.

Hikura sways her hands, and a barrier thwarts the object. Hikura jumps in the air and hurls two objects at Yoki. The earthbender runs and jumps away from the first object then runs and hops over a second debris. Yoki pulls her arms right and down; earth forged arms from the ground yank Hikura from below.

Hikura breaks free as she rips the arms to shreds. While she is doing this, Yoki pumps her fists forward and launches an earth ladder-like object into her. The force of the blow immobilizes the earthbender. While this happens, Kanna stands across her battle-lusted sister.

Sora: "Alright sister, let us finish our fight. You are stilled in hand to hand, but can you duel?" Sora generates two carmine short fire swords. 

Kanna grins, "I think I'm decent." Kanna generates her own dark orange flame cutlass. Sora leaps at Kanna with a diagonal strike. Kanna twirls out of the way and horizontally hacks at her sister's feet. Sora jumps over it and double swats at Kanna's midsection. 

Kanna pivots and blocks the hits square on. Kanna swings left to right and Sora parries back as she blocks both hits. Kanna swings twice more to generate momentum before knocking Sora's left dagger from her grip. Sora focuses more on her remaining weapon and holds it with both of her hands.

The sisters both swing high with three thudding blows but each time they tap blades. Kanna swivels her weapon a third time low at the woman's neck. Sora crouches low under it then lunges her weapon at Kanna's gut. Kanna weaves left and jumps directly at her. Sora swings at Kanna's right side.

Kanna shifts her weapon and butts the blow before thrusting her weapon straight to Sora's shoulder. Sora twirls her fire blade and prevents the hit before swiping at Kanna's body. Kanna completely spins backward before galloping at her again. Sora pokes her weapon at Kanna and Foloki flips behind her. 

Sora slashes high and Kanna ducks. Sora swings at Kanna's left which she lightly blocks. Sora pulls her rapier back before coming down hard with a diagonal downward hit. Kanna blocks right with both hands before reversing her grip and grabbing hold of Sora's right arm. 

Kanna makes her sister drop her weapon, but Foloki does the same. Kanna brings her legs down as she looks to submit her sister. Sora presses her feet against the ground and huffs stream from her nose into Kanna's legs forcing her to let go. Kanna briefly screams, "Aiiiiiieeeee!!" 

Sora swings at Kanna with two hooks but she still manages to block both as she staggers back. Kanna leans forward and pounds Sora's back with her right fist. Kanna sneaks a left uppercut in while leaning in then glides back and hits Sora with a right uppercut. Kanna hits Sora in her abdomen and kicks her in her chest. 

Sora falls on her back. Kanna comments, "I will not slay you, you are my sister! Stand down!! No one else has to die!" 

Sora exclaims, "Nooo!!" Sora tackles Kanna and generates a fire dagger. She tries to push it down on her sister, but she can't. Sora regretfully extinguishes it and backs off. Kanna gets back up. 

Sora sits, "I can't kill you sister. I guess we're at an impasse." 

Kanna: "I want to get to know you as a sister and I'll make sure we'll do that. I'll talk to Zuko about getting you some probation." Kanna handcuffs Sora. 

Sora: "This is the thanks I get for embracing you?" Kanna handcuffs Sora's feet. 

Kanna: "And by the way, my adoptive parents will also take you in. We may be sisters but I'm still a Foloki. I love them too much."

Sora: "Then I guess I'm a Foloki too, I'm going to hold you to that."

Kanna grins and steps out as the sun light beams down on her. The next day Firelord Zuko negotiates with Kanna. Kanna: "I'm so glad you arrested Jorai, he's gotten completely out of hand." 

Zuko: "With charges of embezzlement, racketeering, and illegal lobbying practices you can rest assured that he won't get out anytime soon. Thank you Kanna for being an awesome proxy."

Kanna: "One more thing Zuko, can you give my sister some probation."

Zuko: "I can't just go around granting people political favors. If she wasn't your sister, what would you have said?"

Kanna: "But she is my sister, and I am your friend. With both in mind, I'm asking you a favor."

Zuko sighs, "I'll see what I can do." Kanna meets up with the rest of her proxy team.

Kanna looks at Yoki, "I'm so proud of all of you. You are basically my extended family. I am grateful I have each one of you as friends to count on. So, we need to have a cheers to so many wonderful things."

Ron: "Like what?"

Kanna: "Cheers to sisters. Especially my wonderful sister Yoki. Cheers to brotherly companions, like you Ron and Finchai. Cheers to honor. Cheers to Gonzala. And cheers to victory!!"

Ron: "Now I'll drink to that."

Finchai nods, "Me too."
