As the match started it went off the hings from practically the start as the reds immediately set out on trying to trip up Lee knowing he was one of the league's best hitters with his powerful fire blasts with the earth bending keeping Ren from helping Lee. However the Earth Bender, a boy by the name of Shin Len, was blocked as Hana once more saved Ren using a water strike to smash the earth block away from Ren. Ren returned the favor by sending an earthen block right towards the legs of the water bender on their side of the court, a woman, by the name of Zhen Zi, and took out her shoulder as Lee rolled to the left in a cart wheel where he landed promptly and then jumped and kicked forward with his legs almost sending him back a zone as the fire balls impact with the new earth blocks. Shen Len had just picked up. "So far it seems the Red Komodo Rhinos are getting pummeled by these former champions! Lee is showing off his signature acrobatics and power! He may not be all that flashy folks but when it comes to blunt power there's a reason he's is a part of the boar family!" The announcer proclaimed much to the boos of some of the crowd. Ren didn't care his mind was on the game as he sent block after block towards the water bender who was being pummeled mercilessly by the earthen blocks used by the pro bending companies. She couldn't do squat to help the fire bender who took a hard hit to the belly by Hana and was subsequently smacked hard in the face by a blast of water sending him backwards. Shen finally managed to get a shot past Ren whom was sending rock after rock at the enemy team in fast paced motion. He needed to hit them with sturdy shots. One power shot was good but if you missed that was a different story. Ren preferred to use multiple blocks because he had a better chance of hitting them if he sent them in a volley one after the other. Regardless the rock smacked Lee in the shoulder but the brick of a man shrugged it off despite being momentarily stunned and pushed back into the next zone and sent a fearsome fireball towards the Earth Bender who blocked it only to get staggered back and momentarily stunned as Ren sent three disks flying. One hit the fire bender in the belly just like Hana did knocking him back hard into the next zone back. The second smacked into the Earth Bender stunned by Lee and went back flying into the next zone. "Weaklings how the hell are they in elite!?" Lee growled as Hana took the defensive approach she usually did and blocked for Lee as he sent a fire blast at the water bender forcing her to jump up in the air only to get hit by a rock by Ren. "And that is how the cookie crumbles or in this case how to take down a group of Komodo Rhinos!" The horn sounded as the green light pops up and Lee advances back into their zone as Hana Ji and Ren go into the next line. "Alright my boy Ren! Let's beat'em till they're as red as they're signature animal!" Hana whispered to Ren whom nodded and signaled Lee to go on the defensive for them this round. Hana and Ren formed far a part to let Lee do his thing. "You're going down you overgrown fish!" Zhen shouted at them, "Oh I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over the sound of my bro's rock smashing into your gut!" Hana countered as the match continued as they immediately went for Hana who was almost immediately knocked back due to all three focusing on her as Lee decided to go on the offensive seeing an opening. Hana was tripped up despite her quick movements due to the water bender Zhen getting her with a shot of water. Ren however capitalized on this by taking out the fire bender by using three rock coins at once two of which hit him one with a glancing blow the other was coupled by Lee's fire black immediately after sending the fire bender tumbling out of the ring into the water below. "Son of a gun!" Shen cursed as he send a rock towards Ren who nonchalantly dodged it and sent another barrage at Ren as he was now being focused on because Zhen pushed Hana back into their zone. However due to his ability to quickly bend rocks due to his considerable training Ren held his ground stoutly as he blocked with his rocks instead of attacking. Hana however had gotten a bit frustrated because Lee decided to push hard on the next opponent standing dangerously close to the line as he and Hana sent another barrage of water and fire towards the enemy team whom was to disorganized by the crowd and the loss of their friend to even make a real attempt at team work as Ren came dangerously close to being forced back into the next ring Hana and Lee simultaneously managed to send the end zone where Ren capitalized by knocking them both into the water with a lucky shot with one rock that hit both of their legs as they got up. "And the first round goes to the Silver Shark Whales! Two more rounds left but by a massive offensive barrage with insane team work they take the first round by knock out! And lucky for them because the three minutes were just about up! With a three-zero on the knockout board and it going one-zero on the scoreboard it seems the sharks will find their prey on LAND this time ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer proclaimed as Ren went back to his side and waited for his team to do so, "We went hard but we can't blow it all next round or get reckless. Go hard but be careful they'll want vengeance." Lee commented as Ren nodded, "Don't worry fire-for-brains we got this!" Hana commented as she took her positon and waited for their opponents to get back to the stage. === Note: Ren and Lee's aggressive styles are boarder line 'unnecessary roughness' as the two of them send barrages on the enemy. Lee's blast are rather fast and powerful, however they don't exceed the one second rule and thus only when he concentrates or is extremely determined to hit something can he really give a power shot like he did against the earth bender Shen when he stunned him. If Lee missed he would have been wide open to an attack had his team not been there for him. Lee is a power style bender by preference and the barrages he sends are numerous only because he uses both his hands and his feet meaning he can be unbalance if an enemy bender manage to hit his feet when he's in the middle of a kick. However Lee is also hard to get to go down because of his tough physique and will power making him a devastating fire bender. Also as mentioned Lee's acrobatics are merely basic in nature. He can jump and rolls with ease due to the nature of his training and his experience in many a training bout. However he can't do twirls on the spot and most of his abilities are just to augment his bending style. He is no parkour artist. Ren's style is to hit them hard with as many blocks as he can while in pro-bending. However while this means he's harder to dodge that means he is not sending them with any particularly devastating force unlike the powerful Lee Shang. Ren's rocks hit hard but are neither particularly fast or powerful meaning they can be blocked if cornered as demonstrated when he was nearly pushed back in the last round. He succeeds most when people are helping him and in singular situations he is known to be a bit easier to take out due the nature of his attacks.
