As Genshuku picked up Mouchi, he turned around and saw the giant wall barreling towards him. Oh Crap!!!!! He thought as he held Mouchi over his back and ran as fast as he could. He reached one of the wharf buildings before being slammed by the wall of earth. As he was hit, he felt a sharp pain ring through his body as he was slammed through one of the wharf buildings. Feeling a numbness shoot through his body, he realized that he could not do anymore this day lest he would die. Succumbing to his numbness, he closed his eyes and drifted out of consciousness.

A man 6’4” stood in front of the unconscious Fire Bender. Hanging in his left arm was the companion of the unconscious who was previously picked up and held while running from the earth composite wall. The elderly man lazily threw the boy over to what he assumed was his friend. His companion was separated from him in contact, it is then this elderly man caught the boy when he was sent flying in the air.

He stood 6’4” with his arms crossed. Analyzing his surroundings a frown formed on his face. The entire navy shipyard was devastated; it was like a forest with a bunch of kids playing with oil and fire that accidentally led to the environment’s destruction.

Giving out a sigh his eyes focused towards the earth bender that was the cause of the two poor souls’ current state, he watched as she swam as fast as she could towards the ocean. Aware of another living stranger’s presence, he acted as if he didn’t notice though. He continued to watch in silence the rising flames melting the interior steel of the rows of tumbled ships. There was one though that continued to stand, and it was that of where the other stranger stood. “How unfortunate,” he mumbled to himself.

While Divanti surveyed the damage to the shipyard, Genshuku tried to stand up but failed miserably. His body was badly broken from when the wall of Earth had struck him. He was probably bleeding internally. I have to get help, I have to go to a hospital. he thought as he began to slowly crawl towards Divanti in hopes he would receive help from the mysterious person. After a few minutes, Gen finally reached Divanti and held his leg and said, "Please, help me...For the love of the fire nation, please help me" He said before going unconscious again.

(Sorry for any misunderstanding, I’m using my second developed character. The one you’ve encountered was a man named Ima – ru, not Divanti.)

The elderly man looked down upon the Fire Bender who took hold of his leg and struggled to ask him for his assistance. For a moment he looked up at the sky with sparks of flames fading into the clouds while appearing in thought. Being a close friend of Fire Lord Azulan and the imperial guardian of his royal family once before, he remembered the first hand experience of watching his old friend rule with an iron fist. He never really cared about his own people when he ruled, more like his governmental dictatorship, and the exploitation of the entire world. It was the same even now, his youngest son Ozai had the same perspective from the looks of the nation; More industrial technological construction. This wouldn’t have happened if General Iroh’s son didn’t die. Protecting General Iroh in Ba Sing Se’s invasion made him feel as though it was his fault for not protecting his son also.

He sighed, bringing his focus back to the now unconscious once again, Fire Bender. The elderly man could’ve saved this young one by his own, but he was unconscious. Even from analyzing he wouldn’t be capable of coming up with a sure solution. He slowly kneeled down and threw the boy over his left shoulder and his companion on his right. Rising in a straightened position he began to head out of the Fire Navy ship hold and towards the closest known hospital in the Fire Nation Capital while still being aware of the presence of the other who stood on the untouched ship.

(My character will see Gen and Mouchi in Capital II If it’s alright with you that is.)

(Fine by me)

::Dream Sequence::

Genshuku awoke in large black field with a full moon shining in all its beauty. The grass was shining a brilliant emerald green and whitish butterflies fluttered around as the calming sound of the nearby Waterfalls pummeled the rocks in the lakes at the base. As Genshuku looked around, trying to find out where he was, he saw a shadowed figure wielding two swords. Happy in finally seeing someone there, he began to sprint towards him only to see that it was his father. "Dad?" he whispered slowly as his sprint slowed to a slow walk. "Oh my god...Is that you dad?" he said strongly as he slowly moved closer to his father. Then out of nowhere, an army made of water tribe soldiers began to make their way towards Genshuku and his father. Gen then screamed, "Dad run!!!" as he began to sprint away from the oncoming army. However, his father stood right there as if he wanted to face the army. Gen finally got a good look at the army and saw that all the soldiers had the same face. Instantly Gen knew that that was the face of the man who killed his father. Genshuku tried to go adn get his father from the incoming soldiers but something held him back. He could not close his eyes nor could he turn his head away as the army and his father collided. "Dad, no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as his father was ripped to shreds by the soldiers. He saw gallons of blood fly out from his father;s corpse and finally his head was cut from his body and flew towards Gen. The decapitated head landed right at Gen's feet and said, "Avenge me my son"

::End Dream Sequence::

In the real world, tears rolled down Genshuku's face as he whispered, "Dad please, don't die." He loooked as though he lived through the worst moments of his life in a few minutes

((OOC: I suppose I will join you there later. End OOC.))

Fu-Ling post:

Fu-Ling had watched the whole scene curiously, from the moment that the earthbender scum exited the ship to the moment she escaped and that tall, old man saved the novice firebender. She shrugged as the three Fire Nation people went out of sight: two still alive and one dead.

What's the point of saving a person who's dead? she thought smugly, as she slid down the steep wall of dirt from the side of the hill she had stood upon. Calmly, she followed the small party into the Fire Nation Capital.

What sort of loser would bring people, beaten by a single earthbender, mercy? Fu-Ling internally shrugged again and walked a fair few yards behind the old man.

Akane Oki's ship pulled out from the glistening morning ocean and into port, its crew bustling about and performing the necessary tasks before leaving ship. The gaurd emerged from below-decks, casting long shadows on deck and flanking the one known as Akane, an admiral of the Fire Nation. She had just returned from a small battle with the Earth Kingdom in the south, a victorious turnout, though the battle wasnt large.

"Men!" she shouted, addressing her crew, "Finish preparing, stocking, and tieing down the ship, and after that you may leave. I will have you back here by sundown!" she stated, her voice booming across the ship.

"Aye aye!" her crew replied in perfect unison, immediately going back to work. Although their captain, Akane, was strict and demanding, she was not harsh and treated them all well. In return, the men were obidient and hard working, thus making a well balanced ship and an effective force.

Akane dismissed the gaurd and returned to her quarters inside, following a maze of hallways, lit by the red glow of candle light. Upon reaching her room, she shut herself in and locked the door. She walked to her desk, and sat down, sifting through papers and documents. It should be safe enough.. she thought to herself, glancing down at a small locked metal drawer. She continued sorting through the documents, and then stopped, closing her eyes and breathing in slowly. She pointed her index and middle fingers out, forming a very small amount of electricity from her fingertips. She touched the lock on the drawer with her fingers and immediately heard a small click. She then pulled the drawer out, retreiving several folders and reading through them. Initiates...member promotions..assignments..ah, here it is..locations.. she thought as she sorted through the folders, and then pulled out several maps. Well..it seems the Council doesnt meet for a little while.. she thought, consulting the documents, charts and maps. After about twenty minutes, she filed everything away and closed the metal drawer, which automatically locked. She then stood up, and left the room, continueing down the hallways and outside. As she stepped through the doorway, she immediately squinted from the sun beating down on her from the east. She looked about, concluding that her crew had finished their duties and had left the ship, save for the few gaurds who were left to attend to the safety of the ship. She left the ship and headed toward the nearest pub, intending to indulge in a few drinks, as well as a few games of Pai Sho.

Gen looked upon the slowly rebuilding area of the Shipyard. He turned his head as he surveyed the damage caused by the Earthbender. The wounded bender grabbed his damaged leg and looked up. He was going to get payback soon enough. "To think I would return here so soon." he said as he looked for an able ship. He almsot completely forgot about the soldier standing next to him.

The Shipyard looked as if it were in shambles, men and women running all over with wood and stone, crews rebuilding the area caused by some for of destruction. Docks stood with holes in them, the water of the sea occassionally spraying though them, visible to all who looked. Boatyard buildings and ticket offices were half destroyed, the boatyard's wood cracked or broken, the mortar and stone of the buildings blasted though, still in repair. The site reminded Sekitan of life after war, but on a much smaller scale, scorch marks here and there as well as a few boulders.
"Are you sure that a ship may even be intact?" Sekitan questioned, stepping passed Genshuku to servey the area, "Most of the buildings and docks look fairly damaged, scorch marks and clumps of earth and stone here and there. It looks as if a couple of benders fought in this area." Looking left and right, Sekitan shook his head slightly, not at the damage, but at the fact that he had not been there to fight as well.

Gen barely noticed the silent warrior until he said, "Are you sure that a ship may even be in tact?" Gen turned his head and looked the man, "There is always a ship that is left. Besides, I see an in tact ship over there." He said pointing towards a naval ship that had pulled into port a few hours after the Gen's battle destroyed the shipyard. "Oh and by the way, I was in this battle, I helped cause it by trying to destroy and kill a master earthbender." he said as he walked towadrs the ship. To think that I would have been able to put up such a fight and still be living he thought as he walked towards the pristine iron ship.

As Mouchi arrived at the shipyard , he silently looked at the damage. Pain , that's all I got from this place . I just hope my boat's intact so I can get back at sea.The silence , the peace ... But I can't get any peace before I know what happened with the earthbender who gave me all this pain ! Mouchi became enraged , and he let out a shriek. No one does this to me ! I don't want this pain ! I will kill her ! But as Mouchi began to enrage even more , his eyes set spot on something else , and his rage became confusion . That's him , the firebender who saved me , what is he doing here ? Does this means the eartbender's defeated ? I must know ! Mouchi began to walk toward the firbender , but as he got closer , he got overwhelmed by his pain , and he fell down . No ! This pain , I must fight against it ! And while still laying on the ground , Mouchi yelled , hoping that the firebender would hear it . "What happened to the firebender ? "

Shao was over by his ship talking to his father's first mate and finding out where the route will end and how many open places there was. "So your telling me that we're going to Ba Sing Se. Why?" "Well sir we have all been banished for not obeying commander Zhao after your father died sir and we need an escort someone of his family to get clearance for us." "i will have to think about it first get back to the ship i'll be back." Jiang walks next to his ship and sits down. He looks up and sees a fire bender(dee jay) at the port. "Hey come here for a minute let me ask you something." He shouted across the pier

((OOC: since Genshu invited me I guess I'll join.))

Fu-Ling post:

Fu-Ling ambled along the paths of the shipyard. Houses lined the small cliff that bordered the harbor, which was punctured by small docks and ships. The sea smelled welcoming and yet intimidating. Fu-Ling couldn't swim.

She saw two familiar figures glancing along the line of ships, looking for one that the earthbender hadn't ruined. Both were men, and both appeared to be firebenders; just like Fu-Ling.

She walked up behind them and tapped the younger-looking man on his shoulder.

"Excuse me, but are you looking for a ship? Where are you headed to?"

((OOC: Sorry it's not very long or detailed.))

As the man turned Jiang's way he knew that he would make a good crewman he just had to think of a position and if he would accept. Jiang stood up stretched outhis hand. "Nice to meet you I am Shao. I was wondering if you would be in sailing with us we need a lookout in return when we reach our destination I personally will pay you"

(OOC: we move it to the fire nation waters board dont wee joyochi)
"Excellent" Jiang turns and walks onto the ship and boards it. "Alright men this is our new lookout." Jiang leans over and whispers to Dee jay "uuuhh...whats your name?"
