Not to plan

These earth benders didn't have seismic sense, neither did I of course. Except I did know its range, and I wanted to practice the skills to avoid seismic sense. So I sat hanging from a tree, just watching the encampment for a while. There was a few people out in the forest as well. Two of them were fire benders and about 4 of them were earth benders. The fire benders were no doubt Zhao's men, but the fact they were so close to being spotted worried me. I figured there was at least one other fire bender that was told to watch me, a judge of sorts. Problem was I didn't see them, so I was just assuming there was one. First things first I had to get the earth benders in the forest back to their camp. I focused on one of the tents, early I watched some of the soldiers get food from it so I figured it was a kitchen or food storage. I planned to light it on fire, the process would be simple enough.

It was time to test my precision, I created a very small dagger of fire. I was about to throw it until a massive fucking sloth came barrelling through the tree line sending me flying. A massive fucking roar came from the beast as it deafened me. Luckily the 4 earth benders who were in the forest came running back. Unfortunately for me I was now in between several earth benders and a sloth known as a man-eater. I shook as my body felt broken, I definitely had some broken ribs. I rolled to cover as fast as I could.

Three spikes of rock came from the ground of where I just was and a boulder crumbled hitting the newly formed spikes. it seemed a few of the earth soldiers would fight me and a few would try to fight the sloth. However the forms of Zhao's men running away also caught my eye, there were three of them. The new soldier that I failed to see earlier held a bag. Ultimately I would be totally alone for a while. I had to assume that General Lee still had someone watching me though. The options were either wait and see if Zhao's and his men tried to comeback and do something, or the person who was sent by General Lee come back with reinforcements. Either way I wanted to solve this by myself, I had power now and if I couldn't be a hero. I would settle for being awesome.

So to begin I shot to fire balls from my hands toward the soldiers who rushed me and set the ground below me a blaze. I created a fire thruster from my feet and sent my self into to the air. I got a good view of the 5 soldiers after me, as well as the other 7 fighting the Man-eating Sloth beast. The soldiers after me launched blocks of rock toward me. It was easy to dodge them in the air, but just dodge me would be very useful. So I waited until the Bull Sloth created an opening for me to land and launch a counter attack against the 4 against me.

"Puah"

4 against me, I landed as one of the solders fighting the Bull Sloth was sent into one of them hurling cubes of earth at me. As I landed I launched myself side ways as yet again another spike of earth was pushed from the ground. I broke of the spike and melted it into lava, then I flung it toward the soldiers. They were caught off guard at me melting the rock which gave me enough time to launch a bolt of fire into the head of one them. The lava ball I threw hit none of them, but by the time it flew past them I closed in on them. I grabbed one Soldier and slammed him into the ground with twin jets of fire. This left two more soldiers who back off when I attacked the first one. The two soldiers blasted a series of scattered pebble and debris at me. When one hit my ribs I winced, the two earth soldiers had also notice my pain. The scattered attacks were now focused and directed to my ribs. Fortunately none of their attacks hit me as I grabbed one by the throat and lit him on fire.

One soldier was now screaming on the ground as he was engulfed in flames and the other was freaked out by his friends pain. Which allowed me to kick him in the head, knocking him out. My brief victory was good to have, but it was promptly ended by me getting slapped by the Bull Sloth. I felt my already crippled ribs buckle and my whole right side ached the same pain. When I crashed into a tree I had all the air knocked out of me. This left me little time to recover and a new foe to face.

----How do you like my first real fight chapter, was it good? I haven't really ever wrote a fight scene and would like to improve if possible. So give me thoughts on it.-----
