Both Barrok and Nala were glad that they ice-shield stayed together after more than a few hacks from Bei. Nala kept her ground, doing her best to stay alive, despite the numerous cuts given to her by the hunters. She could only hold off against to many attacks when they were all coming at her, and because she couldn't use her left arm, she was at a major disadvantage. Every other cut or so, she could let out a small cry of pain, but kept standing despite it. Barrok could only stand still as his ice shield was being hacked away, and he only briefly saw the two chi-blockers as they moved forwards. After several hits on his shield from Bei, Barrok quickly changed his shield from ice to water just before the weapon made contact with the liquid. As soon as he did so, the young water bender back away quickly and turned to the chi-blocker as he neared Barrok. The water still floated in front of him, and he pushed the water towards the chi-blocker. When the water came in contact with the man, the water spread around him and turned into a thick layer of ice, surrounding much of his arms and most of his upper body.

The weapon that Bei used slammed into the ground during his last swing, and dind't have time to pull it up as he watched one of the chi-blockers become covered in ice. He'd worry about the bender later. The man turned his head to look and Nala, who was slowly losing her strength and will to fight. More cuts and slashes appeared in her body as it went on, and when the other chi-blocker appeared, all was lost for her. He was too quick for her and easily disabled her other arm, watching as her sword fell from her hand. 

Barrok turned his attention to her when he saw that she was as good as dead. "NALA!" He shouted, knowing what was coming next. The chi-blocker quickly hit numerous points in her body to stop her completely. Nala's body fell quickly and hit the ground with a thud. The chi-blocker stood over her and grabbed her by the collar of her jacket, dragging her over to Bei. The man smiled and turned to Barrok, ordering his men to surround him so he would have nowhere to go, and would be forced to watch his friend's death.

Bei pulled his weapon from the ground and moved his eyes back to the paralyzed Nala, who now lay on the ground before him. the chi-bloxker bover away from him as he readied his weapon and cast one more glance at Barrok. He didn't say anything to him, but looked at him, since he wanted to make sure that the young man saw all of this. "NO! Don't kill her! I'll go with you, ju-" His words were stopped as he saw the weapon swing down, hiw eyes following it as it made it way deep into Nala's body. Quickly. the life in Nala's eyes left her and she became still like the others. 

Slow, Barrok fell to his knees and sobbed for his fallen friends. Nala was by far his closest friend, and he knew that it was all over now. He wanted to avenge their deaths and make everything right. He just didn't want his friends deaths avenged, but everyone who died because of the Iron King and his tyranny. He wanted peace again. Suddenly, his sobs stopped and he closed his eyes. He felt something inside of him that was pulling him deeper into his subconscious. He didn't fight it and abandoned his physical body, watching as hundreds of figures passed him in his subconscious. He didn't know any of them, but he felt like he did. All of them felt so familiar. One was a young man in yellow and orange robes, another was a Water tribe woman, and many more others. All he could do was watch his body as the spirits controled his body, bringing down the group of hunters with ease.

After a moment of silence from Barrok, his eyes slowly opened to show glowing white orbs instead of his usual blue ones. He stood up slowly and retracted the ice from the chi blocker. His arms spread out as he collected more water from the beings of life around him, now having more than enough water to fight off against the entire team of hunters. His face was still and emotionless, not uttering a single word. Many of the men charged at Barrok, which was a very bad idea. Barrok swayed his hands around and moved the water to attack them. This stance and his new movements were different from his normal pattern of attacks. He was much more graceful than before and was also much more effective. Bei gritted his teeth and refused to accept this. He planned on coming back with the bender, and with abilities, Bei believed that he'd get a better reward.

The man was quickly subdued, the water hit him with such force and removed his weapon from his person. Barrok in this state didn't plan on killing anyone just yet, but wanted to knock them out so that the young water bender could run. The battle was very short after his transformation, and large pools of water and ice were all over the forest. When all seemed calm, Barrok closed his eyes and dropped to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, Barrok had very faint memories of what had just happened, but he did remember his teammates and friends dying in front of him. His head hurt and he didn't know what to do. It seemed that Kuei was still alive since the animal was breathing heavily and made it's best efforts to limp over to it's master. Barrok smiled at the Armadillo-Lion, wrapping his arms around it to the best of his abilities and enjoyed the small amount of comfort he had left.
