She was ready to take that guy down... a flurry of shards as well as a large body of sewage rose and formed into two rings which began to rotate with vigor around her, forming a gimbal, just as she had earlier to spar with her father. The feat was rather impressive, but it was more for show if you didn't know how to properly use it. While Katsu moved forward to intercept the other two, Siku was on the other side of the waterway, firing ice discs from the gimbal. Her opponent bobbed and weaved, struggling to match her pace for a moment, until his motive was clear. The discs froze behind and in front of him, shattered, and were fired once more as ice shards. The water bending girl grunted and twisted to intercept them easily in return until Katsu leapt across the hall, vaulting a stone, and raised his own shield in defense. The spinning rings, no longer being focused on, continued with their momentum for a moment before splashing to the ground, dowsing both of them in sewage... [i]AGAIN.[/i] She frowned and stared at the shield for only a moment before the Avatar ripped the ground at their feet and knocked the adversary in the chin. As the floor rumbled, Siku had to step to the side to watch her footing. Having lost concentration at his earth bending, the boy before her claiming to be the Avatar was ironically taking away [i]her[/i] balance. She slipped and fell into the water... [i]A. FREAKING. GAIN![/i] He reached down to pull her out, but Siku just pulled herself up with as much dignity as she could muster, using the disgusting liquid around her to launch lightly into the air and set herself back on the floor. All of the water on, or around her was swept away in one fluid, circular motion before being fed back into the flowing waterway. Only Katsu remained wet and she stared at him blankly for a moment. "... You just..." She eyed the water, how quickly could she make a blade of ice for herself to lop his head off..? No, better not, she decided, looking to him again. "You earth bended... But... You're a fire... bender..." She muttered, looking to the three unconscious men, then to him, "You're not going any-" ----- Reaching a manhole after following Asha's strange but accurate intuition, Hiresh planted his feet and raised the manhole cover... Or he tried. It didn't budge... [i]Siku...[/i] He cursed silently, shifting his stance and punching downward. There was a lot of cracking and grinding as the cover shattered the ice, which was already beginning to melt, and drove itself to the bottom of the hole. "We'll fix that later," He said with a shrug, letting Asha hop down the hole herself. Just like an airbender to remain graceful and float down; Hiresh, however, had to slide down the ladder. Just as they were arriving, Siku was clearing the floor of the water and the walls of the tunnel looked like they had seen better days. Hiresh sighed and saw the three men, unconscious on the ground. Doing his due diligence, each one was bound with the slips of metal in his uniform used for just such an occasion. He heard Katsu asked to leave and he stared daggers at the boy, "No. I don't know what's going on, but you're not going anywhere kid. Not all of those guys were actually White Lotus," He said, deducing quickly. "Something happened up there and about half of the squad, if not more, turned on the rest of them, we took as many as we could down, but I had to get out and make sure you guys were okay. The hell's going on?" Siku pointed a finger childishly at Katsu, "[i]He's the Avatar and didn't tell me![/i]" She exclaimed, stomping her foot in agitation. Hiresh, just as she had, laughed. "That's funny. No, seriou-" "He earth bended. And fire bended." "Oh..." The Metal bender rubbed the back of his neck, "Then you're not really safe, we have to get you to the station, or somewhere safe. Where can you go, Katsu?" Suddenly, Hiresh's attitude had changed from a patronizing ass to a concerned officer - when he was on-duty and not preventing children like Katsu from bogarting badges, the man was a damned good cop.
