This Chapter has a battle in it so I'll be interesting Happy Reading
Chapter 2: Upper Hand
“What the hell, why weren’t we told this in advance!!” I said. The monks looked at me in awe so I changed it. “ Uhhh, why weren’t we told this!!!”
“This changes everything.” Charm said. “Do you know how much evil that sword can do. It almost whipped off everyone on the planet!!!!”
“Yan defeated two of the three swordsmen.” I said panicking. “How in the he-, I mean how are we going to defeat him, we’re just kids.”
“That sword is pure evil!!!” Victoria said in agreement.
I looked at the monks, they seemed rather calm looking at us freak out. Did they know something that we didn’t.
“Patience children of the corn.” Master Wu said. “Yes, that sword contains a lot of evil but you all are underestimating your abilities as well. The Greats choose you three for a reason, and for that reason I believe you can do this.”
The monks nodded in agreement. WTF???!!!
“We haven’t even gotten our swords-” Master Wu interrupted me.
“Right, you haven’t gotten them yet, but if the legend is true, when you do use them a great power inside of you will awaken.”
Even though those weren’t the comforting words I wanted to hear I calmed down. Charm and Victoria did the same.
“The Lightning Emperor recently found Yan sword in search for the other three. It takes evil to find evil. It takes good to find good. It doesn’t take greatness to be great. To be great takes knowledge, endurance, and determination. And that you all have, my children. So if we may continue I would gladly bestow you all your swords.” Master Wu said.
We didn’t say anything. For some reason Master Wu had a way with words , but it was creeping me out how the monks continued to smile whenever Master Wu said something, better yet anything.
“Let start with Victoria.” Master Wu said as Victoria jumped at her name
“Since I first met you Victoria I noticed that you were never out spokened.” Victoria said. “ You said what was on your mind no matter what it was. You also applied that to your battle technique and skills. For some strange reason I noticed you had a connection with water. You sit under a waterfall sometimes challenging your endurance. But to some it up, you sword is the Aquarita sword. Come and receive your case.”
Victoria walked over to the monks. Looking happy go lucking with herself. I wanted to laugh. She had the lamest type. But that now meant either Charm or I will get the lightningflamerita sword. My heart started pounding and I had trouble breathing. I looked over at Charm he was shaking too.
Victoria received her sword form the monks and took it out of the case. It made a sharp metal sound that rang through the air. The sword was well crafted and had a beautiful blue color. It looked like real water too!
“Wow.” Victoria said as she sliced through the air. “Its so light. And this wierd power. It feels like-”
And suddenly the sword started shaking and the blue color on it glowed a neon blue. The light started to shine brighter and it filled the room with it magnificent color.
“Whoa!!!”I said as the light nearly blinded me.
“Perfect, you are the reincarnation of Rinda!” Master said. The monks smiled again, nodding their head. “The world last hope is now beginning reborn again.”
“Wow, “ Charm said covering his eyes. “That was awesome!!”
“I’m actually the reincarnation of Rinda.” Victoria said smiling as she put her sword back into her case and put her case on her back. She walked back into the line with a big smile on her face.
“Nice.” Charm said.
“Thanks a lot baby.” Victoria replied
I almost laughed but had to hold it in. Charmed nodded his head. But then Master Who started talking again.
“Charm,” Master Wu said as Charmed jumped at the sound of his name. “When I first saw you I noticed you boldness. As you changed and grew during your training so did your pride. You worked hard and love to be around nature. You would even silent yourself sometimes around nature too. This is why you are receiving the Windearthrita sword. Come and receive your sword and case.”
At that moment it was like a bomb just hit me. I couldn’t even think right . If Charm had the Windearthrita sword the I have the lightning flamerita sword. Oh my God!!!!! If someone could slap me I’ll let them. Charm was shocked when Master Wu said that. But then he walked and received his sword from the monks.
All eyes were on Charm as he took his sword out of the case. He held it up. It had a nice slim look to it It looked pretty neat with the white and green design on it. I couldn't even stand still all this tension was killing me. My underarms were sweating. If the light didn’t shine then it was Charm sword. Then... I didn’t want to think about that.
Charm stood there, the monks stood up concerned.
“The light is shining.” Charm said confused. “Is this my sword?”
As he said that is was like a knife went through my heart. Please, no!!!!!
“Maybe we made a mistake,” Master Wu said confused also.
Charm turned the sword in his hand and suddenly the sword started to shake. He almost dropped the sword. The sword started to glow green and white. The light wasn’t so blinding as Victoria sword but the green light and the sun combine almost blinded me. I covered my eyes. a little. Master Wu and the monk had a smile on their faces since they didn't make a mistake.
Charm hands were shaking as the sword light died down and it went back to normal.
“So you are the incarnation of Hiebi,” Master said.
“So cool,” Charm said as he put his sword away and walked back. “I felt a sudden surge of power run through me. Like something awakened.”
“Thats the power you always had in you.”Master Wu said. “Now to the chosen one. Clash.”
I almosted died when he said my name. I couldn’t believe it. I had the sword. I wanted to jump for joy. I didn’t even think I was going to get it, but who gives a shit!!!!
Charm walked over to me and punched my shoulder with a smile. I raised my fist and he fisted bumped me.
“Clash,” Master Wu said. “ You are the chosen one and are the one who will defeat the Emperor. When i studied your abilities I noticed your speed and mercilessness . In order to be a lighten and flame type combined you have to have both of those qualities. You are also fierce in battle and not ****, and that makes spirit. Come and receive your sword and case.”
By the time he finished I was getting my sword from the monks. It was light, and I mean paper light but it was solid metal, maybe steel. Maybe it seems light to me. I turned it around admiring the design and colors that shined. It had a goldish yellow and red design color but the sword part was a silver metal color like Charms and Victoria. I sliced it through the air and suddenly mines started shaking and vibrantly against my hand. My body started to shake and I almost lost my balance. The room filled with yellow and red color and then it died down. I put my sword back into its case I was on my hip. I walked back in line. All of us were smiling extremely hard. Like kids who were just given a year supply of candy. The monks stood up.
“This is a start to a brighter future., yo are the incarnation of Chorazin. You three are destined for greatness”” Karze said sounding so happy. “Why won’t you all go outside a test them out as we talk.”
“I agree.” Master Wu said. “Practice sparring but don’t destroy but flower beds.”
“We’ll talk later in a hour.” Olito said. “ We must talk about your future training and where or not we will relocate.”
We nodded and walked outside into the courtyard. Charm spoke first.
“Clash, lets battle.” Charm said. “I got a feeling this won’t be like our previous ones.”
“Damn,” I said laughing. “ But I accept bro. I gotta test this out!”
“I thought Charm was going to get the LFR sword but it look like yo ass got it.” Victoria said trying to act disappointed.
“But you got that lame ass water sword.” I replied back
“Guys all our swords are good.” Charm said. “We all are going to defeat the Emperor, its just that will be mainly Clash job. But now that we got the swords for some reason I feel like we can win bro.”
“Same here bro.So wanna start?” I asked.
“Yeah.” Charm said
“I hope you win baby!!” Victoria said as she rain and sat down on the bench.
“I’m not your baby Victoria.”Charm said. “Just stop.”
“Alright baby.” Victoria said again.
“Damn, whatever.” Charm said as he backed up some. “Let do a Tai-quo battle.”
“Cool.” I said. “So we’ll start off with normal sword fighting and then we’ll use our sword type. But which one.”
“I don’t know how that work but we’ll see.” Charm said as he stood in a standard position, the way he did his 180 degree pose with his arms and sword made it look like he was an expert.
“Let’s go.” I said as I got into my Las-Dragon stance and took my sword out. It glistened in the light.
“That’s a defensive stance.” Charm said confused.
“I know, just start bro.” I replied.
Suddenly Charm ran toward me and the battle began. He swung his sword at my feet but I jumped up and dodged it on great timing. As he tried to stand back I took my sword and hit his sword hard. He went flying backwards but landed backwards on his feet.
“You’ll have to do better than that.” I said smiling.
“I know. I’m just warming up.” Charm said in agreement. Victoria sat there looking scared, as if her little Charm was hurt.
Charm straightened up and ran to attack again but I managed to reach him before hand. I took my sword and slammed it against his. He endured the blow and came for another attack but I attacked him again with another blow. He had an even harder time blocking that one andI kept going at him. Hit after hit. Blow after blow. Charm was in the Las-Dragon position blocking my sword attacks. The sound of metal rang through the air as if to replace the birds chirping.
I kept on going at him but I had to dodge one of his moves when his sword went toward my face. I ducked and did a low kick. Charm dodged that and took his foot and put it behind mines. I tripped and fell as he came down with his sword toward my neck.
Shit!!!
I rolled on the ground and jumped and the air. As Charm turned around his his sword coming at me, I used my feet and pushed him backward a couple of feet. I landed on the ground safely as Charm used his feet to slide across the dirt which stopped him from falling.
“I almost killed you.” Charm said breathing hard.
“Sure you did,” I said sweating. “ Something called dodging.”
I started to run toward him as Charm got into the Las-Dragon pose again. I hit my sword against his but he blocked it. I pushed down harder as he sword came closer to his face.
“Ahhhhhh!!” Charm screamed as he pushed me away. I went flying backwards into the air.
“Now we use our power!” Charm said as he stabbed his sword onto the ground and human height dirt needles starting to take over the battlefield.
“What the hell!! When did he know how to do that!” I thought to myself. “Whatever, I gotta do some shit to stop it.”
The needle dirt were right between me so if I landed on them I would have died.
Think, think, think!!
I took my sword and pointed it toward the spot I was going to land at. And then suddenly my sword turned a yellow color and a blast of yellow lightning blasted from my sword aiming for the dirt needles. The lightning blasted against the dirt, ripping through the ground making his attack useless. Charm put his hand up to cover his head since dirt was flying everywhere. Victoria cover her head too.
I landed on the grass safely. Ready in case Charm attacked again.
“Clash,” Charm said as he took his sword out of the ground. “Bro that was awesome., when you learn out to do that.”
“I have no idea,” I said thinking. “It came without thought. Maybe its because we’re the Greats reincarnations, so its easier to fight maybe.”
“That’s probably was Master Wu was talking about,” Charm said. “He did say something about how it’ll be easier to fight and advance to a Lv. 2 swordsmen.”
I turned toward Victoria. “You’re okay?”
“You did that on purpose!” Victoria said. “You messed up my blue top!! It has dirt all over it.”
“That’ll be Charm fault.” I said laughing. “He is an earth swordsmen, I didn’t tell him to use that tech. Now your hair, that’s my fault.”
“What!!” Victoria screamed touching her hair. “Ahhhh! Clash, you!!!”
Victoria jumped up from the bench and ran into the temple to fix her hair. Charm and I was bursting in laughter.
“Bro,” I said wiping tears from my eyes. “You wanna finish that battle.”
“Maybe later.” Charm said giggling. “ But look at what we did to Master Wu flower bed he’s going to kill us!!”
“Oh, shit.” I said. The flower was as burned to a crisp and the fresh soil was everywhere.
“Wait, I have an idea,” Charm said. “I can fix it.”
“What?” I said confused. “Oh, that would make sense. Hurry up before Master Wu sees.”
Charm stuck his sword into the ground and at first nothing happened. But then the dirt started to move back to where it was originally was and the flowers gained its color back. New flowers started to grow as the burned one was pulled under the dirt. Once everything was back together the grass under my feet started to grow back evenly. That part was creepy as hell, my feet was moving by itself.
“Whoa,” I said. “ Nice bro, that an awesome ability!”
“I’m not done yet.” Charm said as a little plant like thing started to grow bigger. It grew bigger and bigger until it was my hieght and the white leaves on it started to turn pink. Then it stopped growing.
“Damn bro,” I said. “ You took Master Wu tree and grew it. Sweet.”
“Yeah, he was growing that thing for a year now,” Charm replied. “I thought I should help him out a little.”
I sat down on the ground and Charm did the same. The cloud in the sky where moving slowly, like there weren’t in a rush. I wish I felt like that.
“This next couple of months are going to be are.” I said. “ We’re going to be training a lot now.”
“Yeah, tough shit going happen.” Charm said. “ We’ll get through it. We have to beat the Emperor no matter what bro.”
“That’s the thing,” I said. “ Everyone is making this seem so easily, what if we lose.”
“Don’t think like that bro,” Charm said. “ I have faith in you man, and I’ll be there when you need me the most. We’re kids, they don’t want to scare us. But as long as we know we have to work harder than ever don’t worry about it”
“Thanks.” I said yawning. About 2 minutes passed . “I didn’t get much sleep last night, I might take a short nap. Wake me up when..”
I turned over to Charm. He was already asleep. Typical Charm. I yawned again, looked up at the sky and and eased into a sleep.
__________________________________________________________________________
I was sitting at the kitchen table eating a sandwich as my mom and dad was talking in the living room.They were trying to whisper softly so I wouldn’t heard them. I just woke up and was really tired but my dad started talking about something being destroying. I stopped chewing and listened.
“They just burned down the Uwhona (u-who-na) Village, if they keep coming closer and get past the Nile River we’re going to have to leave soon.” My dad said keeping his voice low but sounding dismayed. The lower he whispered the more I listened.
“But where?” My mom said worried. “We don’t know anyone outside the village.I’m tired of leaving all time. But I know we have to. I wish someone would stick up to Yin and his soldiers. I use to like the Lightning Nation when I was a child.”
“Other towns have refugee sites. We can stay low there. “ My dad said lower.
Someone moved and sat down down again. I put my sandwich down. I didn't want to move. I liked my life the way it was.
“I talked to some of the elders of the village, they said that the King was sending troops along the Nile River to stop Yin from moving farther into the Fire Nation. If the reinforcements come then we won’t leave.”
I wasn’t able to make out who said it but I kept listening. I stopped sliding my feet across the floor.
“Don’t you have a brother in Uwhona?”
Silence.
“If they landed one finger on him I swear..” My dad voice started getting louder.
“Ssshhh, “my mom said. “We don’t want to worry Clash. He shouldn’t know about this until we have to tell him.”
“Have to tell me what.” I thought.
“Right,” my dad quieted down a bit. “We made a plan of where to go in case either of our villages were attacked. Tomorrow I’m going to met him at the Skinza (Skin-za) temple.That was where we said we’ll meet. When I pick him up I’ll come back.”
“But you’ll be going closer to Uwhona village” My mom said. “That’s dangerous. Not even you can handle those many soliders.”
“I’m going for my brother.” My dad said ending that part of the conversation. “Besides, some old friends of mines are coming with me to find any other survivors.”
Silence.
“Be sure to take your sword and your with healing herbs.” My mom said getting up. “I’ll pack them now.”
Silence
“I’ll pack, you worry about Clash and pack if we need to leave.” My dad said.
I heard footsteps coming toward the kitchen. I picked up my sandwich and took a big bite. Mom and Dad walked in with Dad holding my mother’s waist. I liked when he did that. He whispered something in her ear and she smiled. She noticed me looking at her and spoke.
“Clash, you’re still not done eating?” She said in a innocent voice. She didn’t know I heard them talking so I didn’t mention it. “Hurry so you can play outside.”
“Okay, I’m almost done.”I said in the same voice she used on me.
I finished eating as my dad started packing food and my mom helped him. As I walked outside I couldn’t get that conversation out of my head.
I didn’t want to move. What did a burned down village have to do with us? Maybe if our uncle moved in with us him and my dad could fight the soldiers,

“Cool.” I said. “So we’ll start off with normal sword fighting and then we’ll use our sword type. But which one.”
“I don’t know how that work but we’ll see.” Charm said as he stood in a standard position, the way he did his 180 degree pose with his arms and sword made it look like he was an expert.
“Let’s go.” I said as I got into my Las-Dragon stance and took my sword out. It glistened in the light.
“That’s a defensive stance.” Charm said confused.
“I know, just start bro.” I replied.
Suddenly Charm ran toward me and the battle began. He swung his sword at my feet but I jumped up and dodged it on great timing. As he tried to stand back I took my sword and hit his sword hard. He went flying backwards but landed backwards on his feet.

“That’ll be Charm fault.” I said laughing. “He is an earth swordsmen, I didn’t tell him to use that tech. Now your hair, that’s my fault.”
“What!!” Victoria screamed touching her hair. “Ahhhh! Clash, you!!!”
Victoria jumped up from the bench and ran into the temple to fix her hair. Charm and I was bursting in laughter.
“Bro,” I said wiping tears from my eyes. “You wanna finish that battle.”
“Maybe later.” Charm said giggling. “ But look at what we did to Master Wu flower bed he’s going to kill us!!”
“Oh, shit.” I said. The flower was as burned to a crisp and the fresh soil was everywhere.
“Wait, I have an idea,” Charm said. “I can fix it.”
“What?” I said confused. “Oh, that would make sense. Hurry up before Master Wu sees.”
Charm stuck his sword into the ground and at first nothing happened. But then the dirt started to move back to where it was originally was and the flowers gained its color back.

“I’m not done yet.” Charm said as a little plant like thing started to grow bigger. It grew bigger and bigger until it was my hieght and the white leaves on it started to turn pink. Then it stopped growing.
“Damn bro,” I said. “ You took Master Wu tree and grew it. Sweet.”
“Yeah, he was growing that thing for a year now,” Charm replied. “I thought I should help him out a little.”
I sat down on the ground and Charm did the same. The cloud in the sky where moving slowly, like there weren’t in a rush. I wish I felt like that.
“This next couple of months are going to be are.” I said. “ We’re going to be training a lot now.”
“Yeah, tough shit going happen.” Charm said. “ We’ll get through it. We have to beat the Emperor no matter what bro.”
“That’s the thing,” I said. “ Everyone is making this seem so easily, what if we lose.”
“Don’t think like that bro,” Charm said. “ I have faith in you man, and I’ll be there when you need me the most. We’re kids, they don’t want to scare us. But as long as we know we have to work harder than ever don’t worry about it”
“Thanks.” I said yawning. About 2 minutes passed . “I didn’t get much sleep last night, I might take a short nap. Wake me up when..”
I turned over to Charm. He was already asleep. Typical Charm. I yawned again, looked up at the sky and and eased into a sleep.

I was sitting at the kitchen table eating a sandwich as my mom and dad was talking in the living room.They were trying to whisper softly so I wouldn’t heard them. I just woke up and was really tired but my dad started talking about something being destroying. I stopped chewing and listened.
“They just burned down the Uwhona (u-who-na) Village, if they keep coming closer and get past the Nile River we’re going to have to leave soon.” My dad said keeping his voice low but sounding dismayed. The lower he whispered the more I listened.
“But where?” My mom said worried. “We don’t know anyone outside the village.I’m tired of leaving all time. But I know we have to. I wish someone would stick up to Yin and his soldiers. I use to like the Lightning Nation when I was a child.”
“Other towns have refugee sites. We can stay low there. “ My dad said lower.
Someone moved and sat down down again. I put my sandwich down. I didn't want to move. I liked my life the way it was.
“I talked to some of the elders of the village, they said that the King was sending troops along the Nile River to stop Yin from moving farther into the Fire Nation. If the reinforcements come then we won’t leave.”
I wasn’t able to make out who said it but I kept listening. I stopped sliding my feet across the floor.
“Don’t you have a brother in Uwhona?”
Silence.
“If they landed one finger on him I swear..” My dad voice started getting louder.
“Ssshhh, “my mom said. “We don’t want to worry Clash. He shouldn’t know about this until we have to tell him.”
“Have to tell me what.” I thought.
“Right,” my dad quieted down a bit. “We made a plan of where to go in case either of our villages were attacked. Tomorrow I’m going to met him at the Skinza (Skin-za) temple.That was where we said we’ll meet. When I pick him up I’ll come back.”
“But you’ll be going closer to Uwhona village” My mom said. “That’s dangerous. Not even you can handle those many soliders.”
“I’m going for my brother.” My dad said ending that part of the conversation. “Besides, some old friends of mines are coming with me to find any other survivors.”
Silence.
“Be sure to take your sword and your with healing herbs.” My mom said getting up. “I’ll pack them now.”
Silence
“I’ll pack, you worry about Clash and pack if we need to leave.” My dad said.
I heard footsteps coming toward the kitchen. I picked up my sandwich and took a big bite. Mom and Dad walked in with Dad holding my mother’s waist. I liked when he did that. He whispered something in her ear and she smiled. She noticed me looking at her and spoke.
“Clash, you’re still not done eating?” She said in a innocent voice. She didn’t know I heard them talking so I didn’t mention it. “Hurry so you can play outside.”
“Okay, I’m almost done.”I said in the same voice she used on me.
I finished eating as my dad started packing food and my mom helped him. As I walked outside I couldn’t get that conversation out of my head.
I didn’t want to move. What did a burned down village have to do with us? Maybe if our uncle moved in with us him and my dad could fight the soldiers,
