Haddyn: 200 years in the Future (Day Three)

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

And so our heroes have broken up into smaller groups.

One to rescue Dawn and stop Harth from whatever he had planned.

The other to protect the Watcher building and allow Willow to cast her spell.

"Probably haven't seen bending before," she replied shortly, frowning as more and more came over the walls. Another swoop of her arms, and she pulled up tentacles of water around her, lashing out at the approaching vampires.

The lurks continued to rush at the two benders but word had past down to the other vampires who were now bringing up rocks and various items to throw at them.

Zuko punched and kicked around him, sending flames around to protect the space that was getting nearer. He caught a few of the vampires reaching the roof with the rocks and quickly, using a move he'd seen Katara use that weekend, he sent a firewhip that them to push them off the ledge.

More vampires exploded into ashes and fell off the wall at the benders' coordinated.

One lurk landed on a cabbage cart on the street below, making the merchant shriek and despair.

He was quickly eaten.

Katara stared for half a second at Zuko's move that was definitely more waterbending than firebending but swiftly turned her attention back to whipping the water around her, trying to clear the lurks who'd gotten weapons away from her and Zuko.

The lurks either flew to the ground screaming or exploded into dust around them.

No more lurks attempted to crawl over the rooftop... however below the lurks had started to set fire to the building and smoke was beginning to billow from the base.

The fire had already began to consume the first floor of the building.

Zuko didn't need to smoke to feel the energy of the fire below.

"They're trying to burn us alive," he sneered, annoyed that they were trying to use his element against him. He didn't wait and hurtled down the stairs towards the fire, trusting Katara to follow him. Or not. He was pissed off and the fire around them was spreading further as they made it to the first floor. He didn't try to control it however, not yet, as he knew the vampires would just start coming again.

"Stay close," he barked at Katara before closing his eyes to concentrate and he pushed the flames outward, sending a blaze at any vampire that was too close to the building.

From outside the building screams were heard as the remaining vampired began to explode into ashes as they were caught in the expanding flames.

Katara hadn't needed any instructions from Zuko to throw herself after him as he ran down the stairs. Once there, she stayed close enough to keep away from the fires inside the building.

Spinning around, she started pulling water from her waterskins, using it to sweep through the inside, dousing the flames before they had a chance to burn further into the building.

Zuko needed to catch his breath for a moment, but then he started helping Katara but trying to diminish the flames around them.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

She glanced around as steam and smoke of the dying fires filled the air, looking for more vampires approaching.

Puling the water back to her, she glanced at Zuko. "Hear anything else?"

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

He stilled for a moment, still ready to fight. "No," he replied after listening carefully for a while.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara nodded. "Me either. Wonder if they'll try to come back."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko lowered his hand, but he still seemed on edge. "If they're really dumb."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

"Not after Willow and Mel take care of everything," Katara said softly, glancing from him back to the smoking ruins of the first floor.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Zuko agreed, telling himself that he wasn't worried cause that'd be dumb. "Good thing we practised for this last weekend."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She smirked though her eyes were still a bit worried for him and for Mel and Dawn. "Knew those dinosaurs would come in handy."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

He glanced at her and nodded before kicking at some of the rubble.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

Katara walked over to the doors to check to see if they were still solid. Carefully, she started moving some of the rubble in front of them, just in case the insane vampires did make their way back.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko watched her for a moment, then stepped forward to help her move the rubble around.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She gave him a nod but stayed quiet. "That fire whip. It almost looked like one of my moves," she finally said, pushing a big piece of rubble into place.

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

He didn't show any reaction, his focus on what he was doing. "I saw you use it."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara was more than a bit shocked he'd admitted to using a waterbending move. "Huh, I never thought of trying to adapt them."

Re: Watcher's HQ: Defense

Zuko shrugged. He hadn't either, but it felt strange telling Katara that it had been his uncle's idea so he kept quiet.
