Turning over towards Jin's direction Yoko smirked, "I advise that you stop watching like a spy and actually begin training. Don't ask how I know your there just know I know you've been watching us." Sending a stream of water around him Yoko bent the water with ease as he laughed a bit. Having trained intensly to learn how to see through vibrations he remained clued in as where others were clueless.

Jonah took each of Fulgar's questions into deep thought, trying to come up with an answer to each of them. Practice did make people better at things, but from experience there was no such thing as perfect.
"Practice doesn't make perfect; it makes champions." Jonah said in an uplifting mood, trying to relieve Fulgar of his frustration. Then he tried to find an answer to his question about doing things differently. Before he gave an answer, he wanted to reply to the comment about his stone coin.
"Took a while to learn how to control it. As with making things solid, it takes firm emotion and concentration."
When Fulgar asked about his form, Jonah had an answer ready.
"You seem to be using an earthbending stance. You should use your own firebending stance and moves to keep your bending at ease. It doesn't take physical form to solidify a flame, but it is mandatory for earthbending. I would suggest you just firebend with a firm state of mind and emotion, and I would think you could easily use solid fire well."
Jonah then came up with a possible answer for Fulgar's question about doing things differently, remembering his match in the tournament against a firebender and how she was able to jump great heights using fire jets.
"I'm no master of firebending, but I think fire works differently than earth does. As fire contains a lot of energy, I might try a jet of fire from the feet to propell yourself along the ground, not continuous, but a short burst, similar to a 100m sprint. This might aid with your pride trouble, as it's a short technique that doesn't require a lot of work to keep you moving. I think that if you do that to keep yourself leaping along the ground with jets of fire from your feet, you could cover great distances in no time."
It was a strange technique that Jonah had thought up, and it definitely made people hard to hit using earthbending. If Jonah's theory was right, he might as well have taught Fulgar how to fly. It was an interesting concept, and Jonah would love to see how it would turn out. The fire disc was interesting and marvelous to watch, but perhaps the fire jet leap would better suit Fulgar for the time being until he could master his pride.

Seth was a tad confused for a couple of seconds but realized that it had to be Jin spying on them. Seth put the scrolls back in his knapsack and walked around the corner to see him face to face and to prevent him from running away.

Jin was confused! His eyes were twitching. How did Yoko know he was there?!? He directed his attention to the knapsack Seth had. How was he going to get it? Remembering that he learned a new technique in the scroll he stole, Jin opened up his water bottle tied to his waist. From the tip of the bottle, Jin raised his hands and pushed the water towards Seth. After, Jin crunched his finger joints making the water into an icicle. Jin released his fingers and pointed all tips of his fingers in the air, the sharp icicle followed Jin's fingers. When the icicle got above Yoko, Jin turned his wrist downward, curled his hands into a fist, and the icicle broke into millions of tiny, sharp icicles.

Miliseconds after Jin had unleashed his attack Yoko had began to prepare for his assault. By the movements he was making Yoko could tell it was one silmilar to that he had just performed. With a closed fist he thrust both hands into the air as he did so he opend his hands and then made the ice sicles turn into mist. As the mist surrounded him he then bent and concentrated the mist along with his stream before, around him into one steady stream. Slinging the stream forwards at Jin with such alarming speed the stream would freeze into a blade of ice. As the ice circled forth zipping just centimeters from Jin's throat. Yoko carried the ice around past his neck and then to his side where he returned it to water. "Don't strike at me again. Next time I won't hold back....." Looking at Jin his face was nonexpressive, plain as could be. Bending the stream around infront of him, he continued to wait for Milo.
Being an on looker to what had just happend Kina jumped up and was ready to beat Jin to a living pulp. How dare he come attack Yoko knowing he was a skilled bender and Jin only being still what would be labeled as a rookie. Kina was furious as she glared at him, her fan in hand.

Milo stretched and walked back to the room, she noticed a note and ###### her head to tthe side. She hovered over the note and stared at it, "Oh shi--" she hollered in her head and turned a hell and ran out of the inn.
She finally found Yoko, Kina and Seth and stopped. She hung over holding herself up with her knees panting, she examined everyone and blinked. "Uh... anyone mind explaining?" she laughed nervously.

“Ah! My mistake!” Fulgar said to his teacher’s “champions” comment with a slight laugh. He looked at the wide horse stance he was already in, Jonah was right; this was no way for a firebender to move. He was a master of the northern praying mantis style and that is what he had based most of his early firebending on he knew no conventional firebending martial arts. He moved into his own stance completely separate of the earth style his legs were in their usual shoulder width length and his arms had changed places they still protected his center but they sat loose his legs were down in a squatting position, he created a circular pattern with both arms then switching his stance his right foot moved in front of the left and his right hand extended his palm flat a facing forward he threw a fire ball at the opposite wall. “Youre right, it is easier to bend when I’m not in the horse stance.”
He was willing to give anything a try as long as he could get better. He stepped outside the dojo where he could get some room; waiting for Jonah to follow Fulgar began his stance. He concentrated on letting the fire out of his feet. Fire erupted around the soles of his boots and he took of flying he went up probably 10 feet before losing control of it and flipping in the air and landing back down on his bottom. He got back up on his feet and tried again this time he would control it. Instead of raw thermal power he would concentrate it into thin fine jets of power beneath his feet. He concentrated and got into his squatting mantis stance and sprung off his position into a jump he concentrated and two thin jets of amber flame erupted beneath his square toed boots. He could feel the energy beneath him pushing on the arches of his feet. He was in the air shifting his body he was able to make some distance and land on the ground. He traveled nearly 10 feet from his earlier position and was sure with practice he could make that distance much longer. “How was that!?” Fulgar said turning to face his teacher a big grin had spread across his face.

Smiling at Milo as she finally joined them Yoko then looked at Kina and said, "Kina stop glaring and get focused. Okay Milo we're about to begin to train, I want us to start working as a group. If our moves compliment eachothers our strength and ability will increase tenfold. In example, if that tree was a person over there. Milo you might send a set of small boulders at them so it distracts them, while Kina moves in and around and attacks while me and Seth would double team him/her from the front with a combo attack. Do ya'll understand?" With that Yoko bent the water back into the fountain nearbye.
Letting out a sigh Kina said, "C-mon, let get to training already! We get what you mean!" Walking over to the tree Yoko had just been talking about she jumped into the air and landed onto one of the limbs and dangled her legs lazily.

It took Kade about 4 hours to make it to the border of Omashu. The sun had just risen back over the east horizon. Although Kade had left Shizu’ Agara with a full stomach, it was now unbearably empty and began to take a toll on his energy level. With his feet dragging lazily on the ground, he trudged through the large gate into what appeared to be the town square. There was a significant amount of space in between the few buildings, and because of the early hour of his arrival he could not determine how densely populated this area would be. Making his way across the large courtyard to the nearest Inn, a slender water bender caught his eye. This certain bender was standing at the edge of the courtyard barking orders at couple bystanders, who apparently were part of his group. Interested, and slightly pleased to find another group of benders Kade could not help but watch them from afar. He found an empty barrel next to the Inn, turned it over, and sat on top of it, placing his pack and the remainder of his items on the ground next to him. His eyes locked onto the water bender. Since he had been around high leveled benders all of his life, Kade was able to tell that this guy knew what he was doing just by his look and actions. The fatigue he was currently feeling did not seem to bother him, as long as he occupied himself in a productive manner.

Seeing what fulgar had acomplished she stared in awe, "wow...that was so amazing!" Walking up to Fulgar and Jonah and waving her arms around, "Wowie! that was so amazing!" She looked at Jonah bowing making sure she didn't show disrespect, "Uhm..Sir Jonah if you wouldn't mind" She blinked her voice choaking up, gulping her eyes tighting at the fear of her next words. "Can..you teach me earth bending..?" At her last words she flinched opening one eye to look at the earth bender's reaction.

Jonah had followed Fulgar outside, watching his accomplishment with a firebending leap. His theory was right; Fulgar did something he was familiar with, and he had a higher success rate. Jonah moved himself to the scene by skating along the ground with a platform of pebbles beneath his feet, bending them with his chi focused around his feet and with a few subtle hand motions.
"Nicely done. Try making shallow leaps along the ground, you should be able to cover a great distance."
Jonah was approached by another person, someone from earlier when he was sparring against Zhin. He remembered something from her previous efforts, remembering a flame erupting from her efforts to earthbend if he wasn't mistaken. When she asked him to teach her earthbending, he raised an eyebrow in confusion. He had already made the mistake of taking Fulgar to be the Avatar, and now he aimed to avoid that mistake again. He returned the bow with a slight nod, just to show he acknowleged her.
"Aren't you a firebender? I can't teach a firebender how to earthbend, if you are a firebender, but I can teach you about earthbending. If you are a firebender, I can show you how to solidify flame or do something like Fulgar is doing now."
Jonah waited for Fulgar to try another leap, wondering how well he can move around with his new technique. He also waited so see if the new arrival would answer his questions.

Amazed, Jin fled from the area where Yoko's group was. Before doing so, Jin had written a note on a piece of paper. With his left hand, Jin bent water. With that water, he turned his wrist in a clockwise rotation. Then, he threw the piece of paper up, pointed all his finger tips at a near by wall at Yoko, and bended the water into a small icicle. The icicle had gone through the paper and dented a small hole in the wall. Jin grabbed his stuff and retreated from the area.
"OK. Maybe spying on Yoko's group wasn't a good idea."
Note: We'll meet again. Next time we meet, it's 1 on 1.
(Training: 15*5*)

Milo nodded, "Okay, sounds good" she replied. She turned and watched Jin dart off, "Hey, it's the hyper guy, Jin, from before. Let me guess, causing trouble?" she muttered. She saw then a piece of paper launched into the wall near Yoko. "Pfft, show off. Don't see me launching stalagmites with notes into walls" she hissed to herself, folding her arms.

With the sun, overhead beaming down on them their shadows seemed to disappear. It was noon, the time when the sun shown it’s brightest. With a smile, he looked at his group and said, “And now we begin. For now we are all going to fight each other as a warm up, every one for themselves.” Without warning Yoko quickly bent a stream of water from the near by fountain. Making the stream into a think whip, he then lashed it out at Kina attempting to strike her in her face.
Half way into the conversation Kina was watching as Jin ran away. Though the last words Yoko said, “every one for themselves” caught her ear. Luckily turning towards him when she did she saw him bending a water whip. In then striking at her, she blocked the attack by sending a bust of wind from her palm as the whip was redirected towards Milo. Once the Whip had been deflected she then sent a massive gust of wind at Seth with her fan.

(Sry was away on saturday) Seth dodged the icicle that was heading right for him. After the fighting between Yoko and Jin, Seth saw Jin running away and bending a note into the wall near Yoko. Seth sighed at Jin and Seth returned to the group and put his knapsack against the wall but put his skin of water back onto him. Seth saw Yoko bend water at Kina and Kina blocked the attack. She sent a big gust toward Seth. Seth used his new technique which he read from his scroll. He got low to the ground and bent the water into ice into a 2-sided shield. The wind from Kina went right over the top of the shield. Since the shield was in two parts he launched the first back at Kina and the other at Milo. Seth stood up after he launched the ice.
