Book2: Chapter19: Fight of the Rebels

All right guys, this is action! You can probably guess already who will face who. If not, oh well! Here's "Fight of the Rebels"

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Man, it's getting annoying writing that over and over...

“So…you’re Jet…” said Noku, looking right into his enemy’s eyes.

“This is a Firebender. You trust him?!” said Jet to the GAang in disbelief.

“He’s a rebel like you, so drop your weapons!” yelled Ito, prepared for a fight in case things go wrong.

Jet ordered his fighters to stand down and they did. Jet dropped both his swords on the ground to show his allegiance. However, Noku was shaking so bad that it seemed he could explode any second. He had smoke coming from his nostrils and sparks of fire from his tight fists. He also seemed to completely forget about his wound as it was still not completely healed.

“Noku, please relax, please,” begged Toph. “I know this is hard, but you need to control yourself!”

Noku ignored everyone and concentrated only on the freedom fighter in front of him.

“So…you’re Jet…my parent’s murderer…” said Noku.

“What? I never killed anyone…that I know of,” said Jet.

Those last 4 words Jet spoke made Noku’s eyes flaring fire like when he was in Nanjing.

“I’d grab those swords if I were you,” said Noku, as he had bits lightning coming out of his fingers as well as from his knuckles.

“Jet, run!” yelled Toph.

Jet just stood there, confused. Noku didn’t bother to let him have a chance. He shot out a humongous fireball at Jet at full speed as his eyes were now completely on fire along with anger and rage. Jet barely dived out of the way in time, now shocked.

“Thought you said he was friendly!” yelled Jet at the gang.

Noku spun around and around like he was airbending and then created a twister-like fire cloud. The Firebender jumped out of the fire tornado and then bended it at Jet. He tried to slash it away with his hooked swords, but he was knocked down by the tremendous force of the Outcast. Just a few minutes earlier Noku was a happy calm person with Toph, but now he was the enraged Firebender with fire in his eyes looking for revenge.

 “Noku, please settle down! I know you’re upset about finding him but he changed!” yelled Katara.

“I can never forgive a murderer!!” yelled Noku back to Katara.

He charged his power and now he was in his electric/fire armor and charged at Jet. The Freedom Fighter was dodging each punch, jab, and kick, but only by a few inches and he never had an opening to counter against the Outcast.

“Help me out!” ordered Jet, as he tried to deflect Noku’s jabs with his swords.

His Freedom Fighters closed on the Firebender with their swords, but Noku just glared at them with his fire eyes and they backed off. However, the one known as Smellerbee continued to move in and Noku had 1 fist pointing at Jet and the other at Smellerbee. The female Freedom Fighter grabbed a second sword she had and charged at the Firebender. Thanks to being a true friend, Ito stepped in and blocked Smellerbee’s vertical slashes that were about to hit Noku.

“If you face Noku, you face me!” exclaimed Ito, using his left hand to hold the handle of his 3-foot long sword and the right hand bended small amounts of earth up.

Ito then bended the small amount of earth into Smellerbee’s face and then slashed both of her swords out of her hands. He then slightly stabbed the earth and then Smellerbee was surrounded in some earth cocoon and couldn’t struggle free.

The others of the GAang couldn’t do anything. They didn’t know who to side with: An enemy turned old friend or a friendly Firebender who’s just now as crazy as a platypus-bear.

Noku turned back to Jet and attacked him with quick jabs at full speed again. Jet was able to dodge them and turned around and broke into a run as soon as Noku tried to do an aggressive street punch.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU MURDERER!!” yelled Noku in a dark-spirit voice.

He blasted fire behind him into jet-like flares and flew to the fleeing Freedom Fighter. He was looking darker than Azula was when she was charging at Aang back in Ba Sing Se with his fire eyes flaring. He was about stop and let the jet flames burn Jet when he noticed another arrow flying toward him from the tall trees. He somehow grabbed the arrow itself when it came to him, made it on fire from his armor, and threw it at Jet. Jet managed to slash away the burning arrow and get back on the offensive.

“How can he calm down?!” yelled Jet, as he charged at Noku.

Noku just stood there, waiting for Jet to strike. Jet slashed one sword vertically and then swung the other horizontally right after. Both missed Noku as he simply stepped back and then lowered his body while still on both feet. Another arrow came flying toward Noku, but was slashed away by Ito and he then bended a boulder into the trees from where it came from. The archer known as Longshot came flying down and fired an arrow at a nearby tree. The arrow was connected to some rope that was connected to his waist. He then swung down and landed in front of Ito. He grabbed 2 small daggers from his waistband and started to swipe at Ito. This archer was clearly not that skilled with melee weapons as Ito just swung his sword horizontally to where the daggers were and both came flying out of Longshot’s hands. He also then found himself in an earth cocoon on the ground as Ito repeated the same process when he was facing Smellerbee.

Noku, thanks to his extra speed from the electricity, was dodging all of Jet’s slashes without breaking a sweat and without breaking eye contact. It was really intimidating for Jet as the fire eyes of this Firebender never came off his own eyes. When Jet swung both his swords at the same time, Noku grabbed them both from the handles and sent electricity flowing through the hooked swords and into the Freedom Fighter. They electrocuted Jet as he let go of his 2 best weapons as soon as the electricity reached him. Noku grabbed both swords and they both turned into electricity and fire at the same time. The Outcast just yelled loudly and stabbed both hooked swords deep into the ground that sent an electric current through the ground. But as soon as the visible electric current as right next to the fallen Jet, it vaporized and Noku’s armor just died out instantly. He had used so much energy with the wound he had in his shoulder that it used more energy then ever. Noku just grabbed his injured shoulder and looked right at Jet.

“I have to learn to not let my rage control me completely. I’ll let you live, but remember that you were spared by the Outcast,” said Noku, as the fire in his eyes died out.

He let go of Jet’s 2 swords that were still in the ground and just walked back to where the camp was at, holding onto his wound.

“Ok, I’m really confused….what just happened?!” asked Sokka.

“That was pretty cool though,” said Aang, amazed at Noku’s ability to make his electric/fire armor.

“I’m also a bit confused; he’s never like this. The only time he did that was yesterday in Nanjing,” said Ito.

“What exactly happened yesterday in that town?” asked Aang.

Ito told of all the events of the Battle of Nanjing and how it was destroyed. He, however, left out the part with Noku and Toph’s moment.

“Wow, so Noku is going to become something like the Guider that controlled both of us?” asked Sokka.

“That’s what Toph told me, but I just think he’s going berserk,” replied Ito. “Hey Toph…uh…Toph?”

They all stared at Toph to see her exactly the way she was before the fight, crying. She had tears trailing down both of her eyes.

“Why can’t he control himself better?” asked Toph to herself while looking down.
