Elegys	With only the slightest of glances backwards, Elegys took in his ally’s situation. He seemed to be handling himself alright, so the Dark Avatar turned back to the King. ”You can either surrender or we will force you into submission. Choose wisely,” he said threateningly. The King simply smiled at him though, causing Elegys to frown. “You aren’t strong enough, Firebender. You’re weak, and I’ll simply overcome you and throw you in prison.” The King jumped forwards with his arms outstretched, causing the ground beneath Elegys’ feet to crumble, a huge crack appearing. He acted quickly though, diving out of the way. Just where he was about to land, however, a huge pillar of earth rose up to strike him in the chest, sending him flying onto his back. “You don’t stand a chance, outsider. Time to end this.” The King brought both of his arms up, causing two huge walls of earth to enclose Elegys, trapping him in the makeshift prison. He then turned to Da-Zho, a smile on his face. “And you’re next – don’t worry, I’ll find a cell big enough for both of you.” He stepped towards the Blacksmith, but froze when he heard a noise coming from where he had trapped Elegys. He turned towards the jail in surprise, just in time to see a hand burst through the earth, causing the wall to shatter. The Dark Avatar rose to his feet, his eyes burning with power. He took a step towards the King, who stumbled back in fear. “W-What are you?” Elegys stepped right up to the man, his face devoid of emotion. ”I am the balance, King of Omashu. And your city is mine.” He thrust his hand towards the man’s chest, a burst of air flying towards him and knocking him into the far wall. He hit it and crumpled, knocked out cold. The Nomad flipped his hand over and clenched his fist, causing a typhoon to form underneath the King and bring him closer to the Dark Avatar. Once he was right in front of the man, he allowed the typhoon to fade, dropping the King to the floor. Turning to Da-Zho, he couldn’t help but grin. ”Phase one is complete. The city is ours.”

Da-Zho Yin	Da-Zho had been dodging blows from the large earthbender for about a minute, looking for a good opening to fire. He had had no luck until Elegys turned into a bending juggernaut, like an Avatar. Da-Zho was stunned, having no idea that the man was capable of that, but turned around in time to see the large earthbender fleeing. Drawing his bow, Da-Zho dispatched the man quietly, probably best to keep word of what had just happened from spreading. "The city is ours" said Elegys, and Da-Zho nodded. "I don't think they stood much of a chance, not against whatever you just did."

Elegys	”They didn’t know who they were dealing with. Now they do.” Elegys nodded too, grabbing the King by his collar and dragging him over to the throne. He placed his slumped body at the foot of it before glancing at the bodies on the floor. He hadn’t wanted it to come to this, but it was necessary. He ran a hand over his bald head before motioning to Da-Zho and moving further into the Palace. The pair was not stopped as they walked through the corridors – it seemed that the entire defence force had tried to stop them in the throne room, leaving nobody to bother them now. He made his way to the balcony that overlooked the city without seeing a single soul on his way. Once he emerged into the light of day, he turned to look at the Blacksmith. ”We need to find allies, Da-Zho. Spread the word about stopping the Revolution, but keep it quiet. We don’t want the Avatar turning up to ruin our plans just yet. I have some work to do in the meantime – make sure I am not disturbed. And throw the King in the dungeons – I don’t want him around when I sit upon the throne.” In one smooth motion, Elegys had installed himself as the leader of Omashu, even if the common people didn’t know it yet. He dropped to the ground and crossed his legs, entering a meditative stance and preparing to enter the Spirit World. ”Remember; secrecy is key now. The endgame is about to begin, and we must be prepared.” He closed his eyes, and within seconds his spirit was gone, transported to a different world. He was still slightly aware of his body however, and could come back at any time if anything was to happen to it or he was needed.

Da-Zho Yin	Da-Zho was busy while Elegys was in the spirit world. He took the King down to the dungeon and locked him. Still, there were no guards anywhere, so Da-Zho put him in an earthbender cell and took all the keys from the guardhouse. No one would be freeing the King today. He came back up into the throne room, Elegys was still gone. Not knowing how long he would be gone, Da-Zho left the palace and surveyed the outside. One guard had attempted to hide behind an earthen barrier and scout the palace, but Da-Zho's trained eye picked him up and he eliminated the threat with a single arrow. The guard's fight was over and it was time for Da-Zho to bring in some help. Back at the Hidden Dragon Forge, two more messenger hawks had perched upon the window of the second floor. Da-Zho went up the stairs into his home and brought their messages inside. He opened each one, one was from his cooperator with the Avatar, two were from supporters in the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. The last letter was from the Avatar herself. Da-Zho wrote a response to that one immediately and sent the hawk out to carry the message. The message from his cooperator outlined details of the Avatar's city. Da-Zho folded that and put it in his pocket. The letter from the Earth Kingdom turned out to actually be from Omashu, its writer had simply wanted to remain unnoticed. The letter told of a small group of men who wanted to join Da-Zho and hoped he would come to meet them. Fine, Da-Zho thought, I recognize the handwriting, they could not take me in a trap. I will meet them. They were in another forge. The blacksmith was a metalbender and the other three men carried swords. "Duya, good to see you again, friend. I see you want to join my movement. Come to the palace with me, we've taken control of the city."

[ooc] These men are NPCs. I haven't gotten any other major supporters yet so these are a small fighting force we can use.

Elegys	With a deep sigh, Elegys opened his eyes. His time in the Spirit World had, as ever, been enlightening. Ever since he had discovered the passage between the worlds with Avatar Zulera, he had set aside time each and every day to enter the strange realm and simply roam the plains, studying the spirits and the unusual activities. After he had fused with Vaatu, his entire experience of the world had changed. The world seemed to bend to his will, and exerting his control over the lesser spirits was easy. In that realm, he was truly a Master – now he just had to finish his mastery in the material realm. He rose to his feet slowly, his mind collating the things he had learnt during his journey. He could feel the change that had overcome the Spirits since his ascension to the position of Dark Avatar. They seemed agitated, and strangely eager to try and please the spirit within the Airbender. He supposed that, with Vaatu free, the spirits were free to engage in their natural behaviour, without Chaos being locked away. Now was not the time for spiritual contemplation, however. He had business to attend to, and he had to do it quickly. He left the balcony and walked through the deserted palace, stopping only to take an apple from a fruit bowl that he found in the guard’s quarters above the dungeon. He took a bite from it as he stepped down into the area containing the cells, walking over to the only currently occupied cell. It was a huge cage made entirely of wood – the perfect prison for a talented Earthbender. Within was a figure sprawled on the floor, clearly passed out; it was the King. With a wave of his hand, Elegys drew forth water from a nearby jug and directed it straight into the King’s face, causing him to awaken with a splutter. “W-where am I?” he muttered, wiping the water from his face. His eyes darted around quickly as he took in his surroundings, before falling on Elegys. “You!” he roared, jumping to his feet and pushing himself up against the wooden bars, extending an arm through to try and reach Elegys. The Nomad had been prepared for this though, and stood a step further away than the King could reach. “Who are you? What do you want with my city?” ”This isn’t your city any more. It’s my city now, and will be for as long as I require it. Your Kingly duties aren’t required anymore. As for who I am, is it really so hard to guess?” he said, before causing the apple in his hand to rise slowly. He had created a small burst of air underneath it, and with his other hand he drew the water from the King’s face, manipulating it so that it surrounded his apple. ”I’m the Avatar. And your reign is over.”

Da-Zho Yin	Da-Zho and his new companions arrived at the palace. "We're looking for the guards, they fled once the King fell, but I think they're still here." The group began to search around the palace, and slowly detained a large collection of the Kingsguard. They brought the guards to the front walkway to the palace. "Guards, your King is powerless, my order is now in charge of Omashu. I will allow you to join our cause and resume your position and continue your lives, but this who will not join will be exiled from the city." One of the guards, an older man stood up and spat at Da-Zho, "The King of Omashu is its only rightful leader! Send me away!" Da-Zho nodded towards one of the swordsmen, and he grabbed the guard and escorted him away, out of the city. The rest of the guards were not so sure, and glanced around at each other until the teenager Da-Zho had nearly killed in the throne room stood. "I'll join. My ties are to Omashu, not the King." Da-Zho grinned slightly, offering his hand to the guard, who shook it. Slowly, the rest of the guards followed suit, until no more resisted. They realized what their oaths truly meant, and so Da-Zho did not expect them to swear loyalty to him, but only to Omashu. Followed by his growing entourage, Da-Zho walked into the throne room, but Elegys had left. Presumably to the dungeon, but Da-Zho would not need to follow him. "Guards, reorganize and return to the posts that must be guarded, and take my friends with you. Do not spread word that the rulers have changed, and if any people show up to the palace for any business, turn them away. We are not yet receiving visitors."

Elegys	The Nomad nodded in approval as he watched the Blacksmith sending the guards out to do their duty. He stood at the doorway to the dungeons watching, slightly in the shadows so as not to be noticed. When the guards moved away to carry out their tasks, Elegys walked out from the darkness and leaned against the throne. ”We will be ready soon. But I have another task of you in the time being – it is time to prepare for the end. I need you to go into the town and bring me any bending teachers you can find – Earth, Fire or Water, I need them all. Don’t raise suspicions – make something up as to why you are summoning them.” At that, he turned and walked towards the door that led to the Royal Chambers. Once he reached it, he turned back to Da-Zho. ”Good work today. Our goals will be realised soon enough.”

Da-Zho Yin	"I will find some." The truth was, it would be difficult to find bending teachers of the prowess necessary for Elegys's goals. Da-Zho had come to understand Elegys was a sort of anti-avatar, definitely beneficial to Da-Zho's goals, and needing teachers of a high capability. Da-Zho would not be petitioning the streets, the risk was too high and he wouldn't find anyone good enough there. In addition, none of the bending teachers in the city could be trusted, they had strong ties with the King and were only possible threats. It would be necessary to find instructors of a subtler nature. The blacksmith returned to his shop and set pen to paper. He would need benders from outside the city, some very specific people who could be trusted to work in such a backroom environment. Hopefully his persuasive abilities would not fail him in this.
