Xeon had also seen the Water Tribe member, which made apparent that he wasn't hallucenating. It wouldn't be the first time he had. Ryuk had came up with several good strategies he could use against Xeon by the time he saw the rock flying towards him. He used airbending to dodge it again and flipped onto a tree. Ryuk smiled, finally figuring out which type of bender he truly was.
"Nice try with the mind games, Airbender." He said, though he suspected him to be an Airbender the whole time.
Ryuk was about run at Xeon when he jumped down from the tree, landing ten feet away and creating a large gust of wind, shooting out a shockwave of air and picked up dirt and dust. Ryuk stuck his hands into the ground, anchoring him. The shockwave passed him, blowing his clothes violently but not uprooting him. He got up and chuckled, reaching down and lifting the goggles around his neck over his eyes, protecting them. He then got into his fighting stance, gripping his hands tight until the knuckles turned white and several cracked. Ryuk then launched at Xeon.
"Dust won't stop me." Ryuk yelled over the wind, running into the center of the vortex. He found Xeon and swung a quick jab towards his neck, planning on catching his wind pipe and making it hard for him to breath for a few seconds.

Xeon had watched Ryuk pass by the shockwave and watched him use his googles. Though even googles would not help him see exactly where he was. Xeon had quickly, once he heard the shouting from Ryuk, ducked down low to the ground and quickly swept his leg around sending a small shockwave that would trip Ryuk over and would most definantly hit because of the dust. Xeon had hopped back about 5 feet to gain against a distance after.
"Thanks I decided to have fun for a little and make you guess around a bit."
Xeon had a grin that reached from one cheek to another as he stood back for only seconds as he placed hi left leg foward and his right leg a little to the right and he quickly brought his hands back holding out the palms firmly. Xeon had pushed into the air also sending a small shockwave straight for Ryuk's chest section. With one shockwave heading for his legs and the other for the chest one was bound to hit in this mist. Xeon had thought quickly that he had spoken giving away his position he jumped back another few feet. As the dust cleared away he looked for Ryuk.(Battle against a Firebender)

Ryuk's jab for Xeon's throat missed. Xeon had ducked down and avoided it. He then swept his leg, creating a shockwave of air flying towards Ryuk's feet. Ryuk didn't know this and kept running. He got up and hopped back away from Ryuk, thrusting his hand forward and sending another wave of air at his chest. Xeon then jumped back a third time. Ryuk saw the second wave because it parted the dirt in the air. But it was too late. The lower one caught Ryuk on the left foot, his right one in the air because he was running. The air swept Ryuk's foot from under him, causing him to crash into the ground. Right as he landed, the second wave passed over him, lifting and tugging at his clothing. The dust slowly started to settle and Ryuk got up, looking at the ground. His hair and goggles covering his eyes. If Xeon had seen Ryuk's face, he would see many beads of sweat on his forehead, but his hair covered them. He was getting tired, but he igonred it, knowing he had to finish the fight. His fist clenched slightly before it relaxed. His body started to lightly shake.
"I guess I'm going to have to start trying." He said, chuckling.
Suddenly, his right hand shot forward, his pointer and middle finger extended. From the tip of them shot a small bolt of fire the size of a needle straight at Xeon with extreme speed. It flew past his ear with an inch of room. Ryuk looked up at Xeon, smiling.
"That was a warning shot. The next one... Won't miss." He said, waiting for Xeon to come at him.

Tekagami was engulfed in dust. For the time it lasted. Knowing he wasn't in any danger he just stood there with his arms against his chest and a small smirk on his face examining the two fighters. Though they thought he was just standing there, that was far from Tekagami's plan. He was actually memorizing thier moves incase any of the two wanted to fight him. Even though Tekagami was just standing there you can just tell that he was a soft waterbender. As in all of the water bending he does was done to almost perfection. His movements were perfect and fluid. The light blue permenent streaks on his face also showed his connection to the water itself.

Xeon's ankle shot had hit him slamming Ryuk towards the ground face first. Xeon other had missed because of the fallen Ryuk wsas too low. Xeon had a rin across his face still until the fire had shot right past his ear giving off some heat irritating it slightly. Xeon left eye had raised with caution as he quickly took his stance again he thrusted out another small gust of wind at Ryuk. As the blast went through the air he could hear everything precisely. He waited for the movements of Ryuk as once again he had grabbed onto the branch of a tree with his right hand and pulled himself up into the tree standing there holding onto the base of the trunk.
"Well I guess you may have been holding back I guess...."
Xeon's eyes quickly wondered around his face and came back to Ryuk without giving him time to move from his gaze. He had placed his right leg about ten inches from his left leg. Xeon inhaled and blew out another small amount of air from above Ryuk.(Battle against a Firebender)

Ryuk took in a deep breath, closing his eyes and raising his hands parallel with the ground. He exhaled, pushing his hands away from his body and slowly opening his eyes. He saw a look of shock on Xeon's face, which couldn't help but make Ryuk smile. Ryuk and Xeon got into their fighting poses at the same time. Xeon punched out with both his hands forward, sending a blast of air forward. Ryuk couldn't see it, but he recognized the gesture and quickly slid his feet across the ground and spun around, his hands extending and his pointer and middle fingers on both hands sticking out. He finished the one hundred and eighty degree spin and finished by putting his left leg behind him, bringing his right hand down. The movement created a thin sheet of fire to come out, cutting the wind in half. His clothes blew in the wind, but it didn't make a connection. Suddenly, a small cut appeared on Ryuk's cheek, blood slowly leaking out. He reached up and wiped it off with two fingers, looking at it for a moment before curling his hand into a fist. He looked at Xeon who was hanging from the branch of a tree and took in a large breath of air before releasing it at Ryuk. Ryuk quickly leaped to the left, cart-wheeling several times before landing on his feet and thrusting a two fingered hand at Xeon, planning on hitting the wrist of the hand that was holding onto the tree with a low heat fire bolt.

Raj inhaled again as he continued his kata. This was taking more time than he would like to spend working on his abilities. Except this was the only way he knew of, so he had to work with what he could do. Raj hated to work slowly at anything, it was probably a remnant habit from living under his former masters. Though, it was also probably because he wanted to find and annihilate the organization that took his family away.
"I have to become stronger...I have to destroy that slaver faction as soon as I can!" He stated to himself, a mental image of one of his older sisters, the middle child. They had bonded the most when he was little, mainly because they were so close in age that she still remembered enough of her younger years to understand and help him the best.
Raj's three rocks came straight up, one at a time, without fail. He'd already got that part down. Next, he brought the fourth one up slowly, able to lift it all the way with only a little wavering. That was good, it meant it hopefully wouldn't be long before he could bring all four of them up without much difficulty if any. "Now, for the fifth one..." He mumbled to himself, bringing the hunk of earth up slowly. Just as he knew from the experience already, the stones began to shake in the air when he started taking on more than he could bear at once.
"At least make it. Come on..." Raj slowly brought both hands down, keeping focused on the other four and causing them to shift all together in one place like he was picking them up with his hands. He grunted and heaved much in the same manner as if he were lifting them physically. Now that he had them up in the air after lifting, he started back into a meditative stance, slowly separating them from one another until they were all around him. He panted heavily now, releasing his concentration and dropping to his knees with the rocks. He'd forced too much into that last attempt, if he didn't take it a little easier, he would have to call it quits too soon and rest so that his body could get used to the new changes it already had. He wanted to push himself as far as a bender of his level could.

[@Ryuk and Lifeless_God: Doesn't your characters ever get tired? LOL. I mean come on, you guys have been throwing pretty good punches and kicks and throws, and yet I haven't read anyone say a single drop of sweat fall from anyone's brow. But then again, that's just me...trying to rp realistically... blaugh ]
After the quick dive into the river, Rave ended up doing what he had planned before hand. There he was sitting on a boulder, under the rushing current of the waterfall, his eyes closed, his feet crossed, and his mind focused on nothing but the art of water bending. Slowly he breathed in and out, letting the sonance of the waterfall calm him. He had forgotten his worries of work and rent, and all other worries he had back in Omashu. This was nostalgic to him for he did this all the time when a waterfall was nearby where he and his master camped or when it was just him traveling.
"Ommm....." He chanted with as he exhaled a breath. This would help him channel his pent up energies that wanted to be release, but held back. This meditation prove to be a way for Rave to let go of everything and be with his element. The element he was born, raised, and will die from.
Quietly, his chanting stopped and he opened his eyes. The sun was nearing sunset and he had not started a camp fire as of yet. Swiftly, he jumped off the boulder he had been sitting on and to the bank of the river near the falls. With a towel, he quickly dried himself and sat down in front of a pile of sticks that was surrounded by rocks. Taking two stones beside the circle, Rave slid them together making a *click* *click* noise. Some sparks flew into the sticks and Rave had to blow on them before the fire was up and flaming.

The wood in the camp fire cracked and sizzle as the flames engulf the sticks of the earth. Rave had set up an apparatus where the rabbit-duck he had caught earlier lay to roast. Rave turned the lever so that his dinner would be able to cook evenly. Across him and the campfire was his sleeping bag. To the west of the campfire lay the river and to the east and south lay the forest. Rave missed this interaction with nature. He missed camping outdoors, sleeping under the mass of shinny stars in the big black space above him.
As Rave gazed into the camp fire, he remembered the good ol' days of him camping alone. This was a few months right after his master was murdered and for the first time in his life, Rave had been truly alone. However, as Rave reminisce, he could not help but smile. Those days prove to be worth it since it was the days he practice and mastered water bending according to his master's scroll; the days when his master's lessons were reinforced due to the experience of being homeless. It made him humble, it made him virtuous, but most of all, it made those days made Rave the person, no, the man he is today. Many friendships and connections were made during those days, and Rave could not help himself but to miss them.
"I've stayed here for too long. I guess it's time to move again...." he said to no one particularly. "Look at me, I've settled, heh, the one thing I promised myself never to do because I'm a never ending student....it was nice while it lasted...." This time, Rave looked up at the starry sky and for a brief second though he saw a constellation of his master smiling down at him. Though it would might mean he was just tired, Rave smiled back at it anyway.

Tekagami just watched as the match went on. " This is getting very boring. Sooner or later this is gunna have to end." He sighed then continued to watch. The canister's on his belt beggining to shake a little showing that he was getting irritated and would soon have to end the fight.

Xeon smiled as his shots were dodged so simply. Xeon was getting irritated though from all this waste of time. Xeon had watched the flame come from his fingers. Xeon slipped his wrist down causing him to fall but it was to fast at the tip of his pointer finger was burn. Xeon did a backflip to regain his balance as he landed softly on the ground. Quickly Xeon had placed his right hand slanted to the right and he flipped sideways through the air towards Ryuk. Xeon brought his right leg straight down sending a shockwave through to Ryuk. Xeon had quickly placed his hands on the ground and he twirled sideways from where he stood and he swept across sending another shockwave at Ryuk one for the legs and one straight up and down. This move was not very far apart but more joined together and were heading straight for Ryuk.Xeon was also getting tired as his vision became slightly blurry for only a second not enought to catch him off gaurd.(Battle against a Firebender)

Ryuk saw that Xeon was getting irritated, glad, because he could use that to defeat him. Ryuk was panting, he was close to his limit. The only thing that was keeping him conscious was the adrenaline pumping through his veins, giving him a boost of energy. He had trained harder before, with his teacher, but that was different. He hadn't fought a giant centipede after setting up camp and hunting for food. Ryuk saw that Xeon let go, the bolt catching the top of his finger. The attack had failed, other then giving Xeon a small burn. He then saw as Xeon sent three waves of air at him. Ryuk tried running to the side as the attacks formed together, creating a large blast of air heading right for him. He jumped to the side, or tried. His ankle gave out when he put pressure on it to jump, causing him to fall forward. All he could do was cross his arms in a weak shield. The attack hit him, slowly pushing him back until it broke his block, sending him crashing into some bushes. Ryuk coughed and crawled onto his knees, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. He slowly stood up, a smile on his face. He hadn't had this much fun in a while. He tilted his neck, cracking it and making a loud popping noise. He then slowly started walking towards Xeon.
"I think we need to finish this up soon. Our spectator is getting restless." He said.

Xeons moves had hit him. Xeon smiled a little until Ryuk began to walk forward. His eyes followed his movements. He listened to what he had to say.
"Well you do have a good point there."
Xeon's smile grew larger as he quickly moved closer to Ryuk using airbending to run faster Xeon sent a quick jab for Ryuk chest once he reached him not paying any attention to what might be coming towards him.(Battle against a Firebender)

A smile grew on Ryuk's face, but it was covered by his hair and the angle of his head. He could see Xeon charging, using airbending to propel himself forward with a great boost of speed. Ryuk inhaled deeply, calming his breathing so he could think logically. The adrenaline was keeping him fighting, but it was also making it hard for him to think. He had to slow the flow of adrenaline so he could think straight. He calmed himself by breathing slowly, but he started to feel woozy and almost fell over. He shook his head and looked up, seeing Xeon throw a fast jab towards his chest. Ryuk smiled, knowing he could counter it easily if his body did what his mind told it to. His trainer had taught him many different ways to counter even more attacks. Ryuk quickly recalled one of the counters and set it into motion in one quick motion. He spun his right leg out infront of him, planning on catching him behind the foot. He then used the momentum to swipe the jab away with his right hand before swinging back around and jabbing a two fingered punch at the base of neck and kicking Xeon away. If it worked, Ryuk would run at him and throw a flurry of punches. Suddenly, Ryuk felt a wave of dizziness come over him and he stumbled slightly before regaining his footing.

Tekagami got bored and brought his hands to his left side. Moving his hands in a fluid motion he began to water bend with some water which he had in a flask on his belt. Up into the air it went, Tekagami's body moving like the water itself fluid in every way and no mistake in his movments. Tekagami then also began to move with the water, every step perfect along with every hand motion perfect. It almost looked like he was dancing. But in reality this is what the water benders do to water bend. To be a true water bender you must move like the water and bend and sway your body in the ways the water would on a vast ocean. Once in a while looking over at the fight Tekagami continued to play with the water. His patience running lower then every, but he tried his best to refrain himself from stopping the fight.
