The word was heard and she turned to face the upstart water bender. Hand clenched into a fist the ground trembled slightly. A silent answer to the call she did not even know she had made, but it was there waiting for her to give the next order.<br/><br/>Ro had always warned her about something like this. Warned her about the emotions that threatened to overcome her when they were younger. Now, without him there the feelings hurt all the more and she was primed to rage and destroy anything that thought to make light of her and this moment. These poor children could claim to hurt over his lost all they want, but their pain paled in comparison to her own. He was more than just her brother, he was her twin. They shared the start of life together and were supposed to share the last of their days together as well. Now, that would never happen and these insolent little brats had the nerve to call her pain childish. As the thought to teach him a lesson he would never forget formulated in her mind, the air bender spoke up. Attention drawn there now she felt the tremble in the earth before the bandits broke into the clearing and lashed out at them.<br/><br/>One already taken care of by the air bender, she grinned and settled into a stance that was like second nature to her. Center of gravity lowered she gestured with a downward strike with her fist which caused the spiked piece of earth to retract back into the ground. Powerful leg stomp forward and a ball of stone exploded into the air so that in her next movement a punch sent the rock sailing through the air and square into the chest of one of the bandits. Another stomp another rock resulted in yet the end of yet another bandit. Feet stomped together fists down at her sides she slowly raised them up, her chi focused on the ground the split and cracked until it turned into a crevice, ready to swallow and crush the bandits.
