The earthbender clenched his teeth, grunting as the young man sent the wave of blue fire towards him. He created a wall of rock quickly to take most of the impact, but was quickly disposed of due to the fire's intense heat and power. The earthbender was arrogant and continued on the attack, knowing full well that it was just a matter of time before the police arrived.
"I-I'm not done with you, punk!" he remarked aloud as dashed over to strike at Sage from a different angle.
He lifted his hands up, sending many small, sharp pieces of rock to attack Sage's sides.
Meanwhile, Han cocked his head up and noticed a large object heading right towards this area. It was a police airship. The sirens were now on full alert and can be heard all around. The metalbending cops were now on their way here.

A smirk found its way onto Sage's face as the earth-bender lost his cool and started to get in close, deciding to use a smaller attack at Sage's side. Sage lashed out with his arm this time, launching a wave of fire, that burned and blasted away the pieces of rock, then rushed forward, getting close to the earth-bender again. This time he aimed a sharp punch at the man's stomach, after which he would grab the man by the back of his neck with both hands and aim a full power knee kick at the man's face.

The earthbender gasped, not having enough time to evade the inevitable. He could only watch as Sage's knee struck his stomach, hard. The wind was knocked out of him and he was about to collapse. That was, until Sage then grabbed his neck then kneed him in the face. He shouted and fell back, hitting the ground hard, creating a small crater. Everything was quiet except for the sirens coming from the airships. The earthbender, bloodied and battered, turned his head slowly to Han.
"H-Han... do something... or else," he coughed, "O-Or else you will have nowhere else to go..." he concurred, before finally passing out.
Han heard him clear... and acknowledged. He was right. Where would he go? After all, it was the Triad that took him away from a live of solitude. Han sighed, exhaling heavily. He cracked his neck, his emotionless face not getting off of Sage. He proceeded to slowly walk over to him, standing a few feet away from, having no fear whatsoever against this man. Now... he waited.

The earth-bender fell to the ground like a ton of bricks when Sage released him. Although, he apparently retained consciousness long enough to relay an order to his younger, probably more talented companion who apparently was the fire-bender of the group. "Nowhere to go, huh?" Sage questioned the man that was now approaching him. He took a different readied pose now that reflected that of more practiced weapon users. As he did, Sage slid his sword from its sheathe and held it aloft at his side in an almost careless pose. "I'm sure there are plenty of places you could go, other than the city jail, if you stopped listening to men such as this..." He said, pointing the tip of his sword down at the earth-bender.

Unfazed at the sight of the sword, Han still remained mute. Though he didn't ignore the man's words. It was true however, that he sick of the gang's doings and to follow orders of people like the earthbender. But... was it perhaps loyalty that got the best of him? Or was it pride? Nonetheless, Han's face went from one with no emotion to one with determination. Determined to rid the world of this firebender.
He inhaled and began to move his hands in a very different kind of manner, in waves of sorts. It was at that instance, that blue sparks began to envelope Han's hands. The sound of the lightening cracking was terrifyingly loud and powerful, to the point of shattering the windows of nearby stores. He then opened his eyes, locked-on, and shot the powerful blast of lightening at Sage.

The sound of the lightening cracking was terrifyingly loud and powerful, to the point of shattering the windows of nearby stores. He then opened his eyes, locked-on, and shot the powerful blast of lightening at Sage. Lightning, one of the deadliest bending techniques used by the most elite fire-benders. Pure energy shot through the air with enough destructive force to reduce the population of a standing structure to zero in an instant... A technique Sage refused to resort to unless pressed into the smallest of corners... Sage was now faced with a rather potent blast of this already powerful substance. As time seemed to slow down around him, Sage had only few options to think of. He could resort to the technique of a former fire lord.. No, he had too little practice... He could die.. No.. Or... Sage tossed his sword into the air before him as he jumped to the side quick as possible, blue fire jumping from his feet propelling him away at a startling speed. The lightning hit his sword, the metal drawing it in like only metal could. The sword turned red hot for an instant before the blade melted away into a pool of molten metal, leaving only the handle intact. Sage hit the ground hard, slamming his side against the stone hard enough to leave a rather deep bruise. He jumped up quickly and took a moment to glance at the remains of his sword. "What is a man with power like that working for the triad?" Sage asked the man, focusing his attention on him. "I know for a fact that the Fire Nation military could and would offer you so much more..." Sage lashed out then, launching himself into a double turning kick, sending waves of blue fire at the younger man. As soon as he landed Sage launched two more blades of fire and a powerful piercing blast at the man, continuing to talk as he did. "Even the Embassy would give you more than these gangs would! All you'd have to do is leave this life!"

Still keeping a focused and calmed attitude, along with a powerful core stance, Han merely countered by casting a large wall of fire that took the hits of all of Sage's attacks, and was still standing. Han took mental notes, trying to look for the slightest sign of weakness in his opponent. Seeing as the man only attacked head on, Han would slowly wear him down, to the point were his bending was completely weakened.
Han dissolved the wall of fire and responded back to Sage by saying, "You wouldn't understand..."
And with that Han inhaled heavily, only to exhale out a giant cloud of black smoke. One so large that it eventually engulfed the entire market area. The height of the cloud reached to the top of the buildings overhead of them. Han stealthily hid himself into the smoke, knowing his way inside of it. It was now for Sage to try and find his whereabouts. If he failed... Han would not hesitate to strike and end it right then and there.

╔═════════════════════════════╗ Allister arrives at the market to see it covered in some type of smog. Allister decides to prepared himself just in case something happens. Allister yells into the area. "Hey!!! who made this damn cloud!!! I'm hungry!!!" Allister says as he takes his sword off his back and breathes in. He feels his lightning element within himself build up. "How about this!!" Allister says as he shoots a large stream of lightning from out the index finger and middle finger on his right hand through the cloud. If he managed to hit somebody, that person would be paralyzed for awhile or even dead depending on how much they were hit by the lightning. Allister shot through the smog just to make a path for him to the merchant that he wanted. Allister waited to see if his plan had actually made the cloud separate well enough for him to see through before continuing on. ╚═════════════════════════════╝ -Enter from Allister's Apartment-

" What the hell!" she screamed out, grabbing the napkin the the Merchant hurriedly gave her. She waved her hand dismissively, signaling she's fine, but it did hurt like hell.

╔═════════════════════════════╗ Allister heard a girl scream in the direction he shot his lightning. "Damn! I hope I didn't hit someone. All I wanted was some fruit!" he shouts as he grabs his bag and sword and he runs right through the cloud. Allister uses a small flame in his hand as a flash light until he felt he got through the smog. He comes across a girl that looked like she was in pain. "Excuse me, are you ok?" he says to the girl. ╚═════════════════════════════╝

Just a scratch." she mumbled, wincing again. She's not one to advertise pain. So she doesn't pay much attention unless everyone makes a huge fuss about it. " The wood blew up, I don't know how, or who did it. But when I find out I'm kicking them, and making them pay for my fruits. I was hungry."

╔═════════════════════════════╗ Allister smiled at the fact that the girl was so calm with pain. "Ok, well how about I pay for them." Allister says with a wink. He goes up to the Merchant and buys more fruit for the girl. "How you doing, may I have 2 apples, 2 bananas and 2 bags full of grapes please?" The Merchant grabbed the fruit and Allister paid for them. "Thanks my good kind sir."Allister walks over to the girl, split what he had evenly, and gave the girl her half. "it's not much but it's better than nothing." Allister says with a smile. "I have to get to work but be careful next time." Allister says as he began to walk away from the market. He stops and turns before leaving. "I'm Allister by the way."
Allister says as he leaves heading towards the Pro-bending training arena. ╚═════════════════════════════╝ -Exit to Pro-bending Training Arena-

Sage calmed himself and looked from one direction to the other, looking for an area in which he was not surrounded by the smoke. Seeing that there was no escape path, he took a deep breathe and a moment to consider his options. He could talk this over with the fire-bender, offer him a better path... Though, he would probably refuse to listen to him until left without a choice. The better option, then, was to subdue the man and negotiate after... Forgoing the process of actively seeking the man out through his cloud of smoke, Sage launched himself forward, landing on his hands and used the left over force to turn himself into a wide spread, three sixty turning kick that sent several waves of powerful blue flames out all around him, leaving no chance of escape for those near him.

The roar of the flames tore through the black smog, clearing away the zone from the cloud. However, as the clouds lifted, there was nothing in sight. It was all completely deserted. It was until moments later, that the police airship was know over them. From up top, the hangar doors opened up and a small squad of metalbending officers dropped down, using their metallic ripcords to hoist themselves safely to the floor. Seeing as there was only one man, they encircled Sage. The leader of the squad stepped forward, glaring at Sage.
"You there! Firebender! Did you cause all of this property damage and cause massive pandemic!?" he demanded for an answer.
Meanwhile, there was still no trace of Han in sight.

Sage cursed under his breathe when the smoke cleared away, revealing that the man he was fighting and both of his little buddies had disappeared. All they had left him with was piles full of debri, mostly from earth-bending, and a platoon of pissed off metal-benders. When the metal-benders approached him, he ripped a leather wallet from his pocket and opened it, revealing a piece of paper that, when read, told anyone that Sage had a higher authority than the police of the city. Also revealed was a metal badge with the fire-lord's insignia with his name etched into the edges. The leader of the squad took one squinty eyed look at it before recoiling in surprise and somewhat from fear. "I'm s-sorry sir!" The man managed to stammer out before turning about quickly and sending orders to the others to find the culprits. Sage sighed deeply as he went and picked up the hilt of his ruined sword, thinking all the while about what a waste it was to have such a talented bender hooked into the triads.. "I'll have to do something about that..." He said in a hushed tone as he continued the walk home.
