"I'm packing a lot of heat..."
⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹⊹
Sun started to look at the scroll, eager because of his newfound recognition and rank. He would now begin to focus on the first stage of Fireboxing. [8 Posts]
Sun began to study the scroll. This was mostly to get the mental picture down. He could see that the style would rely on quick pacing, a strong stance, and little movement save for dodges. The breathing he had done earlier would help him with this. [1/8]
Next, he stood and began to take the stance. He wouldn't apply chi or anything, but just practice the motion. He started off with his legs, which were spaced evenly and bent for stability. He tested his ability to quickly move and shuffle, and he found it to be quite easy [2/8]
Sun started to throw slow punches, just to get the form down. He started slow, so he could get the muscle memory down, and soon started putting more muscle into it. He was almost rhythmic in the movements now. [3/8]
Moving on to another aspect, Sun began to practice the defense. He swayed slightly back and forth, letting his arms snap into position. He held them in front of him, almost like two shields. He knew he would have to get bracers soon...but still, the defensive blocks were easy [4/8]
Sun would start to move onto the movement of the style. He made sure he was steady and planted in his style, and started with basic stepping and shuffling. His constant moving would be good for dodging incoming attacks, and he used the breathing exercises from earlier to help the constant movement. [5/8]
Sun began to pull off cartwheels and the best flips he could muster. Hops and lunges followed. After each step and movement, he would recover back into the original stance. It was a very easy one to quickly establish, he discovered. [6/8]
After a little bit, he moved to the actual armament. Sun walked into a small training shed and looked around inside. He found two bracers made of leather and metal and put them on. To his satisfaction, they fit. [7/8]
Walking back out, he started to combine each aspect he practiced. He shadow-fought with a non-existant opponent and blocked their attacks, as well as shuffling and cartwheeling to avoid them, all the while throwing punches in between. He had mastered Stage 1. [8/8]

Sun walked over to Jay and gave a slight salute again. "I got stage one down...I was going to ask if you could demonstrate the moves of the stage to me. I feel like it would make me understand them more quickly." He suggested. Just to get the stage down was hard.

Kai started on his next lessons, having seen enough from the bender who had been teaching the princess before to copy from that. Of course, this stage of his training was his least liked for a few reasons. It required strong, controlled, and bursting movements like he was fighting someone(1/9). Taking the proper stance, as he was taught at a young age by his relatives before they left, he tightened his muscles in his whole body and let his guard down. Firebending was never really made to defend. For the most part, it had always evolved being on the offensive side(2/9). As a person who was never too emotional and mostly sinister, he could never conjure up the intensity most firebenders needed to create stronger flames at once. Instead he used his “Strive to Evolve”, his ambition, to fuel his heat instead of pure, raw feelings. His skin felt like it was getting hotter as if he was ill(3/9). This heat began to gather into his chest, his lunges, as his chi became more concentrated after he had already excited it around his body. When it had gathered, he let it out. Punching, he launched a fireball out of his fist as he sent out a portion of the gathered chi(4/9). Using the rest of his chi, he created a connection with his flames, letting him chain it down with an invisible force and move the energy as he pleased. Switching its movements into a circular motion using centrifugal force, Kai pulled the “chain” and motioned it around him(5/9). With this, a ring of fire was formed around him like an arena for a deathmatch. Slamming his fist down to the ground, the flames rose above his head and more. As this happened, he stretched both arms out with a wide stance, then twisted and pivoted on his right foot into a swirl(6/9). His hands closed in as he did this, moving in a spiral-like motion. The flames twisting and swirling around him as they all concentrated themselves between his palms, Kai brang his locked hands to his armpit and then burst them both forward. The heat built up suddenly exploded forward in a fiery horizontal tornado(7/9). “Flames to create more flames. The only element that has the ability to grow; fire,” Kai noted in his head, the chi making him somewhat dizzy since he actually felt serious about his training. Going back to the basics to help him relieve some stress, Kai stood unmoving and simply put a hand on his chest(8/9). Taking a deep breath in, then out through his mouth, Kai was able to redistribute and release his extra chi and energy to put him back into his usual mindset, which was ironically not usual at all. “Ha, bending is a lot like drugs, huh? Making you all tired and out of it and whatnot,” he mused as he caught his breath, having used more chi than his stamina permit(9/9).

["To perish within the flame...
"Excellent Kuzon and Excellent work Jethro, you are now a Novice!" He said with a smile, he then turned to Kuzon and grinned, "onto the next stage, lets get started," Jay began by kicking his leg out and sending a medium-sized fireball from the complete sole of his foot, he then punch forward with both fists and sent flames out from both fists, next, he punched and kicked outward with his left leg and fist, sending flames outward which then merged into one large flame. Jay finally punched forward in a quick rapid jab succession, these flames then moved out and became of wall of flames that would defend.
...is only given to unjust and the wicked."] |

Sun watched him explain the moves and would begin after him. He would start with the moves after putting on the guards. He first started with the bracer defense. Putting fiery chi on it, he swung it. The air hit it at a certain velocity and flame erupted from the gauntlets. Easy enough. Moving on to the Star Fist, he put chi in there too, much like the Traditional fireball. He snapped off rapid punches, each letting off chi and creating fireballs. They were very quick. Once he got that rhythm down, he looked at the Belt Kick and tried it. Putting chi all across his foot and shin, he kicked out sharply. A stream of fire erupted and he did this a few times to get the rhythm and timing down. Within moments, he was shooting kicks and punches of fire, perfectly in sync. Finally, he needed the comet roll. All he had to do was put chi across his back and neck and roll. The movement sparked flame as he dived across the ground and recovered. Sun ceased his training and sat down, exhausted. These things were simple, but exhausting.
