Fire In The Sky [Closed]

Tarek Raiden	A flash of lightning followed by the sharp crack of thunder echoed throughout the rooftops. Tarek’s attack had connected, and fatality so. As much as Tarek did not enjoy taking lives, he knew it was sometimes necessary, and this man left him no choice. As the man came to standstill after been thrown across the rooftop, Tarek walked over to him, his eyes slowly returning to their normal grey color. ‘Xuri?’ wondered Tarek curiously, he had never heard of them. He knew it was something he would have to look into immediately. This attack was like no other Tarek had ever seen; it was clearly the work of a master strategist. Almost perfectly executed, well-funded, well-coordinated and the Xuri attackers were supremely skilled and powerful. The dying man's words just raised more questions for The Firelord. He crouched down beside Tsoi and held up his head for him to breathe a little easier. “Xuri?” he asked calmly, “who is your leader? why has he done this? Tell me what you know and do not let your death and those of your victims today be in vain…” Tarek continued, eager to hear the bit of knowledge this man offered to impart. As he knew that the Xuri threat wasn't yet foiled, and that this attack was just the beginning.

"Our leader..." Tsoi said painfully, "Is more God than man... I've chosen to follow his decisions to the end... no matter what he wants..."
Tsoi didn't continue on explaining what exactly the Xuri were and what their intentions were, but instead, moved on to what he really wanted to tell the Fire Lord.

Tsoi coughed up more blood as he pulled up his shirt. There was a huge burn/penetration wound on Tsoi's center chest from Tarek's lightning attack. His skin was scorched and black in that entire area. Just too the right of the wound, there was tattoos and markings over where his heart would be. The tattoos looked very similar to the Third Eye on his forhead, but was roughly twice the size. Also different from the third eye on his forehead, the one on his chest didn't have an 'eye' in the center, but instead was blank.

"Let me tell you... The Avatar... Is next..."

Tsoi grinned as he revealed this piece of information to Tarek. Why? Simply because he thought it was funny. Funny that even Tarek knew this useful piece of knowledge, Tsoi was convinced that it wouldn't matter in a few seconds. Tsoi believed he was about to succeed in killing the Firelord.

The Third Eye markings on Tsoi's chest began to burn bright yellow. Tsoi laughed chaotically as the markings began to get ever so brighter. Soon the bright light was blinding and began to cover everything around Tsoi in white. The light grew and grew, consuming Tsoi and everything around him...

---------------------------------------------------------------

The markings on Tsoi's chest was actually Tsoi's final effort attack. It was a martyrdom type ability, using a similar Chi gathering method used to fire things from the third eye on his forehead. Unlike the one on his forehead, the chi gathered in his chest wouldn't be released at a single point, but instead, his whole body. Such an attack is a very powerful, highly destructive attack, but in the end would kill its user.

Tsoi died in this final attack. His self-destruction however was an enormous explosion, one that echoed throughout the entire city. Tsoi's body no longer existed, completely obliterated from the blast. 50 meters in all directions of where Tsoi exploded, all buildings and such were reduced to mere rubble. The entire block was leveled from the blast. It would take immense skill for anyone within the blast range to survive such an attack...

[OOC: Yea, please let me know if this isn't allowed, If so, then I'll change it.]

Tarek Raiden	Energy…more energy than Tarek had felt for a long time started building up in Tsoi’s body. It was normal for combustion benders to focus ridiculous amounts of energy through their special tattoos, but this was too much for a person to contain without releasing. Tarek placed his hand on the combustion benders chest where the energy seemed to gather. He spotted the tattoo and his eyes immediately widened. There was nowhere for the energy to be released. “No no NO!” shouted Tarek as he shook Tsoi, “I need answers!” he demanded. “Give me a name! Why Zulera?! What’s the endgame?!” He continued, trying to stop the man from blowing a crater in the middle of his city. But it was too late, Tarek sensed the enormous heat emerge from Tsoi’s body as he exploded, and the Firelord threw his arms before his face creating a heat shield to protect himself from being incinerated on the spot. With all his strength he managed to bend the worst of the heat and flames away from himself, but the force of the explosion hurled him off the building. Tarek rocketed through the sky leaving a smoke trail as he fell into a market cart at least two blocks from the initial explosion. Wood cracked and splintered as the force of his body rammed into it at an incredible speed. Tarek awoke a week later in the Royal Palace, surrounded by his generals and eldest son, Katsuo. “Dad,” said Katsuo, “thank the Avatar you are alive…Matriarch Zurok sent her best healers, and Queen Meili sent her best herbalists…but we were worried we had lost you…” Tarek smiled at his son before wincing in pain and clutching his chest which was bandaged up. “A piece of shrapnel from the blast, pierced one of your lungs, but we got to you in time and the healers say you will make a full recovery.” Tarek relaxed a little but then frowned. “The city? The Xuri? Your mother...and brother and sisters?” “Xuri? I don’t follow?” replied Katsuo with a frown, “but the city is safe and so are the rest of us, and the invaders were driven off…some were killed, others escaped.” Tarek gestured for Katsuo to move closer, “good…now find the Xuri….the group responsible for this …” He whispered in his son’s ear, knowing full well that his son was one of the best spies in the Fire Nation. Tarek knew that this attack was just the start, and that if the Xuri were targeting the Avatar, then the whole world was at risk. “In the meantime…I must warn Zulera.” continued the exhausted Firelord who soon fell back asleep.
