"Let go of them, you bastard!" Zuko said with anger as he pointed at Norrak. His words caused Norrak to raise an eyebrow, and with a shrug, he pushed his hand forward.
Swoosh!
The Fire Nation soldiers were sent flying like they were made of mere paper. Their bodies crashed into the ground heavily and left small, shallow trenches in their wake.
Painful groans resounded in the area as the soldiers lay on the ground, curling up into a ball, and their teeth chattering. Norrak had used bloodbending on them, and their veins had burst apart.
If they are lucky, they will die in an hour. If they are unlucky, they will suffer for days while their body slowly goes into shock, blood pooling in their bodies without a pathway to go through.
"Nah, you know what. I should end the suffering. No one deserves something like that," Norrak said with a grin as he stepped forward. Katara and Sokka watched his back with wide eyes, their mouth open.
Katara stepped forward, about to stop Norrak, when a massive wall of flame blasted towards Norrak like a dragon breathing fire. Norrak raised an arm and winced as an ice wall blocked the flames.
The flames licked around the shield and lightly touched his arm, causing a burn to appear. Norrak jumped to the side, and he sent a massive amount of ice spikes towards Iroh.
The ice spikes with sharp tips sprang up from the floor, and they rushed upon Iroh without pause, piercing the air like shotguns as Iroh watched with wide eyes.
Roar!
A sudden roar shook the air as the temperature in the area climbed higher. A massive flame. Condensed tightly shot out from Iroh's mouth as he jumped to the side.
The flame was fast, faster than even Azula's flames as they shot towards Norrak with a fierce intensity. Norrak clicked his tongue, and a wall of water separated him from the fire.
Swoosh!
His body surfed the side of the flames, and his body rushed towards Iroh. His body was enhanced, and a force enough to shatter boulders sprang out from his fists.
Iroh responded with wide eyes, his old and out-of-shape body unable to respond to the attack. He could barely raise his arm to block the punch and was reinforcing his arm with Chi in preparation.
"Stream Fist: Raindrops!" Norrak muttered as his hands turned into blurs. The wind around them was displaced, and a shockwave hit the group watching from a distance as Norrak attacked.
His hands turned into afterimages, creating a dozen fist strikes to appear at the same time. Iroh's body froze, a symphony of different pain locations appearing on his body.
A sound similar to a machine gun appeared, and Iroh coughed up blood, his organs assaulted by shockwaves that passed through his Chi enhancement and strong muscles hidden beneath a layer of fat.
Boom!
His figure was thrown away like he was a toy, and Iroh crashed onto the sandy beach and continued tumbling numerous times before finally falling into the ocean in the distance.
"Uncle! You will pay for this!" Zuko shouted in panic and anger as he ran towards Norrak. His dist pucnhed forward, and a beam of flame shot towards Norrak.
"Tch! Go and light birthday candles with these puny flames," Norrak mocked as he slapped the flames aside. Zuko watched with wide eyes, a wave of dread enveloping him as he suddenly felt the temperature drop.
Splurt!
A tearing sound appeared, and Zuko looked down at his left hand. It was torn off from his body, the blood inside his arm turning into a sharp blade that sliced his arm off from the inside to the outside.
From the elbow, it was cut off, and it floated in the air as Norrak made it float towards himself. The shock waved off, and Zuko fell to his knees, screaming in pain.
"M-My arm!!!!" Zuko clenched his arm, trying to stop the blood flowing out of his wound while screaming in pain. Norrak looked down at him as he walked near his head.
"I could stomp on your head, ending your life right now, but that would be too easy. Instead, I will allow you and your uncle to leave, to spread the word of the avatar to your father," Norrak said.
"Tell him that he has not much time until his head is at his feet. And also, if you dare come after us again, I will cut your head and use it as a decoration." Norrak's words caused a shiver to pass through Zuko.
He kneeled down next to Zuko, and he picked his wounded arm into the air. Zuko screamed, and Norrak placed his floating arm back onto the stump, with bloodbending holding it in place.
A ring of water wrapped around his hand, while a soft blue glow surrounded his arm as it began to heal. His bloodbending reconnected every severed vein, ensuring the healing process was effective.
"Here, I healed your arm. Now, get your uncle and leave from here," Norrak said, and Zuko stood up with sweat staining his face. He looked at Norrak, and then he got up to walk away.
On the shore, near the Ship, Iroh crawled out of the water, blood leaking from his mouth and nose as he held his stomach in pain. His chest was full of circular bruises.
'Those punches went through my defence and injured my internal organs. If not for my built body and Chi, my organs would have been punctured with holes,' Iroh thought as he woobly stood up.
Zuko quickly came ot him and helped his uncle onto the Ship. Norrak raised a hand, and every soldier on the ground floated into the Ship; then a powerful wave of water pulled the Ship back into the water.
Norrak turned around, and he saw everybody staring at him in shock and awe. The Kyoshi warriors were blushing, a hint of red seeping through their face paint.
"Norrak, why did you do that?! Y-you could have killed them!" Katara ranted on Norrak's side and questioned with shock and worry. Norrak sighed as he looked at her.
"Listen, I know what I did was not something good. But these soldiers were coming after you. I can't let them go fine and have them coming after us again," Norrak said with a firm expression.
"Besides, think of what they did to our parents. What did they do to the Southern water tribe? How many people did they kill?" Norrak said with a glare.
Katara froze, and her eyes flashed as the face of her parents returned to her mind. She couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the Ship in the distance.
She doesn't know how to feel about that.
"If I have to do this again, then I will do it again. But if you're worried about me doing this to everyone, then don't be. I will not kill as long as no one comes with killing intent," Norrak said, and Katara sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's fine. But, please don't be that scary again. If the people see you like this, they will be fearful instead of thankful," Katara said, and Norrak nodded as he also understood.
People without power will always feel that people with power are. That can be changed as long as they see that you are a person as well, as long as he doesn't go on a killing spree.
'Hmm, did I overreact?' Norrak thought with doubt.
_______________________________________________
I decided to let Iroh and Zuko leave alive, and don't worry. There is a reason for this. It's not like leaving them go because of the kindness of Norrak's heart. He let them go for a reason.
Leave a power stone!
