'I wonder where I am..' Rain mused, turning and looking around. But quickly turning back around. Not to barrel into the man that passed quickly into a house.
She then bounced forwards, feeling a sudden rush of joy as skipping through an archway, obviously created by some form of earth bending, the cat attached to her shoulder scratching as if it was the last thing it was ever going to do. Rain just laughed, and massaged the little head once. Her form now standing still in the street. Blonde hair waving in the slight wind.

The Rhinos were being unruly. And the men were talking while marching. They needed better disipline.
'Well,' Tycho thought, 'At least the tanks aren't doing anything wrong...'.
The second he thought that one of them veered left and crashed into another tank.
'Why do I even bother?' he sighed to himself.
"What happened?" He bellowed from his Rhino. Men were crawling oput of the two crashed tanks. one of them looked up
"Sir, the driver fell asleep...."
That was the last straw.
"Alright!" he shouted. "The next Earth Kingdom town we see, we going to take over! OK? Just to wake eveybody up." There were jubulent cheers from the ranks as they saw chimney smoke in the distance.

"Hey! I want my money back, you jerk!!" a voice yelled out at the fat old man behind his stand. Leiko glared angrily at him and held her hand out toward him, palm facing upward. "I paid for an authentic water scroll, not some blank torn piece of crap!!! You cheap scate!!"
The man laughed and shrugged his large shoulders. "Sorry, missy. You already bought it. No refunds."
The female's glare hardened and if only looks could kill... Suddenly, she opened the small water container and some of the water shot out of it, loosely wrapping around the man's neck. As Leiko closed her fist slightly, the water tighten slightly but not enough to fully choke him, just slightly. "I. Want. A. Refund," she said, deadly as every with narrowed eyes. "NOW!!!"

Rain glanced behind her, watching the giuy get slowly choked, but she cared little. 'Heh, some slight entertainment..' But she felt something disturb her feet, something loud, but it was close...But she tried to shake it off, she walk over to the water bender. "Calm down,.." Putting her hand on her shoulder, while resting the other on her blade hilt. 'What is that sound?'

"FIRE". and small comets launched from the tanks towards the little town. Not to destroy everything, but just to scare them into submission. Then the troopers rushed in. They surrounded the small village quickly with the help of the Rhinos. Tycho rode into the town center, where a small pagoda like structure was staning.
"This town is now under Fire Nation control!" he bellowed. Panic was rampant in the streets as people rushed to put out fires and get away from the soldiers and into their homes.

The sudden hand placed on her shoulder made her jump away from the person and whip the water away from the man, holding it in front of her, ready to fight if she needed to. As the vibrations in the ground reached her, Leiko dropped the water to the ground (on purpose, of course) so she could "see" what was happening.
Leiko walked up to the water and set her hand in it as she kneeled down in front of the small puddle. Because her eyes were already closed behind the cloth, she stayed silent and listened closely. As she listened to what was going on around her, the water at turned into a small vine looking stream and twisted lightly around her arm. She was definitely ready for a fight if one was coming, which she was pretty sure one was.
Slowly and calmly, the waterbender stood up, her head down toward the ground. Suddenly, as one of the small comets flew toward her, she shot up her arm with her fingers toward the comet and the water that was twisted around her arms shot out toward the comet as well, quickly engulfing it. Leiko moved her arm back over her head then swung in forward like a catapult. The comet, still surrounded with water, did the same and flew back toward where it originally came from.

"Too late." She removed her hand slowly. Gritting her teeth some tempers were flaring, surely..."Are you a ally in this? Or we're both toast." She said quietly, her sword coming unsheathed as she tried to view the leader. She stood still and unafraid, her wits holding.

Tycho saw her. She had just flung back a fireball.
"Men! Seize the waterbender!" Spearmen and firebenders rushed towards her. Surrounding the watertribe girl, the sneered at her. Some of them were cat calling. Tycho jumped off his Rhino to over see her capture.
"Surrender" he said simply.

"Men! Seize the waterbender!"
As they surrounded her, Leiko's head whipped in all directions, as if searching for them, but she could not see them at all. Taking in a deep breath, Leiko calmed herself before pulling more water out of the water jug, adding it to the other water and ignoring the firebender's words. Suddenly, she let go of her grasp on the water making it drop to the ground and splatter all around her. A smirk came over her face as she slowly moved in a battle stance, ready for anything, as usual.
"Bring it," was all she said.

Rain sighed, as she was enclosed int he fire bender. 'Make me use earth bending.' She sighed. Her hand raising large spikes of earth coming from the ground and from right under were her capturer's feet were, leaving an opening.

Tycho looked over at the earth kingdom girl. With a nod to some men they started to swing chains around their heads to capture her. There would be no bending those.
Now, back to the water peasent. She looked ready for a fight, but not only that, she looked as though she relished fighting.
'Waterbenders are defensive fighters, she behaves more like a firebender...' he thought to himself. He sent out a fireball, and likewise so did all the men around her. Two others went to try to lash ropes around her.

Her senses were sharp and she quickly ducked down as she heard the fireballs coming toward her. But as she was squatted down, she raised her arms up then pushed them out. Water rose up around her, looking slightly like tentacles, and shot out at the firebenders that were throwing ropes at her. Then, as she stood up, she moved her arms in smooth motions, raising them up then bringing them down to her sides. The water rose up all around her then came down on the firebenders around her like a wave. Afterwords, the water returned to her sides, now in the forms of two thick tentacles of water.

Her teeth clenched tighter, big spike were now forming as the chains approached, but one caught her off, wrapping around her wrist, but one hand was still, free. The main responsible for the chain was now on the floor, writhing in pain, from the black of earth slamming against his chest. She pulled her sword back, knocking away the other chains. More Earth rippling as they covered and pinned a few soldiers that were still down from the wave of water.

Tycho got up nd steam emmited from his body as he dried himself off.
'So,' he thought, ' She's going to make this difficult...figures'.
"Men! get rid of that water so I can hit her pressure points!" he shouted. In response the firebenders shot streams of fire at the tentacles to turn them into steam. Tycho ran foward to jab her pressure point on her arms.

"Men! get rid of that water so I can hit her pressure points!"
But what they had forgotten about was that steam could also be considered water. As Tycho ran toward her, Leiko remained calm, standing still with the steam still around her. Then, when he was close enough she moved the steam so it was all around him the blew at the steam. Her plan? To freeze the steam around him, causing him to be unable to move. (basically what Katara did in Book 2 when they were in the drill)
