New Trouble, New Move

[Hori Kesa]

Heio looked out of his cell in utter hoplessness. 'How ,how could he get out of this. How did he get into this? Oh yeah, a Fire Nation soldier was pushing around a kid and I attacked him. It was his son and he was reprimanding him.' "How, Retarted am I?" he said to no one, but if one was listening one of his cell mates could probably here him talking. A guard walked past his cell, and after he disappereaded out of sight he banged his head on the bars. "What am I going to do?"

[Cyrus Phoenix]

When he arose from his blood red sheets that lined his bed the dark haired fire lord never would have guessed that his life would be any easier. He hadn’t been able to truly find a moment or peace, even in his own home, with all of the affairs of making sure the fire nation stayed on track. Having gotten dressed, in his normal day attire, and as any other day had begun his daily task of operations.

It seemed like it was going to be a vey easy day, until news of an assault on one of his high ranking official quickly reached his ears. I can't believe some idiot would do such a thing. The fire lord, not one for making personal visits, felt the need to actually see the man whose boldness landed him in their prison. He better have a good reason for his ignorance. Grabbing his red robes he swung them across his shoulder, making sure to remove his throne, as not to allude to his stature as Lord of the fire nation.

Taking a gliding sweep across the dark colored floors, the powerful bender danced across the cold sea beneath his feet. With each step he took his approach lifted to the ceiling, a warning to all whom offended his people, his nation, and his home. He wasn't one to tolerate the abuse of his kindness, yet he was still a fair man to all.

The phoenix heir quickly just walked down the halls until he arrived at the cell of the earthbender. His golden fiery hues, bright as the sun, just ran across the young boy. He’s nothing but a mere boy. He stood in a stance of power and authority as his eyes seemed to be piecing through to his very soul. “What’s your name boy?”

[Hori Kesa]

Heio looked up as he heard a man speak, and he hoped it wasn't to him. He saw a man standing confidently and somewhat intimidating near his cell door. Immidiatly by how the man carried himself he knew he was a firebender and probably a strong one too. He stood with a stance of power but was able to react at any second, Heio knew this man was not to be trifiled with.

"First of all I am no boy, I am a man even if you don't thinks so. And to anwser your question, I am Heio Koko." Heio said as he stood up, showing his own confidence and power, to this firebender.

[Cyrus Phoenix]

Cyrus just remained in his calm stance, which gave no hint of his deadly ability and combat skills. He never was one to use his fist, first, but if the need arose he was capable of doing so. From his numerous years in the military and as firelord he had developed a vital sense to pick up on ones fear and ones attempt to hide it as well. This boy has no idea to whom he is speaking too. His phoenix ember gems danced over the youthful looking boys.

To think one is a man but to act as a child is foolish. Does this boy have no training? Cyrus had learned this lesson, a long time ago, when he was young and naïve. He used to believe that age was what made a man, but he soon learned that to be man took more then age, knowledge, power, and strength. A lesson that has helped him to become the man he is today. His trip down memory lane soon ended, as his eyes caught the movements of the boy.

His lips begun to part from one another too free his voice from its prison. “Really. Well it would appear to me from your actions that you acted as such. Unless I have come to hear wrong.” A sly grin spread across the firelords face while he moved his cold hands to grip the bars. He slid his fingers across the cold steel waiting for the young man to speak further.

However, before the young man could speak his voice rose to the ceiling once again. “You must excuse for my lack of manners Heio Koko. It’s truly a pleasure to meet such a fine young man.” The grin on his face just grew an inch or two wider as he stood allowing the power of silence to fall over them, not to broken until the dark haired man would speak his peace, his mind, or his death.

[Heio Koko]

Heio looked at this man before him and watched as he sized him up, tried to consider him as a threat, and eventually look down upon him. It grated his nerves. 'WHo is he to think I'm a foolish boy! It's not as I can't beat him! I hate when people do that! It's............' But slowly Heio calmed himself down, his anger almost reaching a point where he would try to lash oiut at the man. His past made him hotheaded and impatient towards firebenders, from what they did to his brother. 'It's not his fault, just calm down and don't get yourself killed.' Heio conteplated in the silence and thought about what he was about to say.
" It's a pleasure to meet you to...........sir" Heio said with reluctnace lining his voice. He hated to give in to others, but right now he had too. "If I may ask, why are you here, talking to me at this moment?"

[Cyrus Phoenix]

The eyes of the burning phoenix locked on the solid brick wall behind the young man, waiting and watching for him to make a move. He felt in his gut that the afro haired man wanted to strike and lash out against him, but it would be a foolish action to strike within a cell. However, Cyrus had learned through his travels never to underestimate anyone. Lets see just how wise of a man he is. He also came to understand that young people are big headed, and often times think they know best.

With his gems forever locked on the wall he was still took notice of his movements. Cyrus stood in shock from the young mans sudden change in behavior. Not the best but its better then nothing. “Indeed”, he said with sincere confidence dripping from his voice mixing like venom from a snake’s fang. He relinquished his stone cold grip from the bars as they switched roles. No longer was he integrator but he was now the integrated.

“It would seem that you have done a high crime against a very powerful man, a man of much power and prestige within the fire nation.” He allowed his voice to settle along with his words, hopefully within the mans mind. He had assaulted one of the most powerful generals of the Fire Nation Navy, which was punishable by a life long sentence. “You assaulted a general of the royal fire nation navy and that is a crime that can lead to eternity within this cell.”

He turned his back to the man, silence rethroning itself over them both, commanding silence over them both. “However, there is only two ways to save your hide from this punishment. Would you like to know what they are or is your manhood so strong that you are willing to spend the rest of it locked within this four walled cage.” A coy grin feels over his face as he turned to face the youthful man once again.

[Heio Koko]

Heio watched the man expression change from cofidence to shock. 'Tch. Showed you' was is only thought until he saw the man quickly change back, in less than a second. 'Like a politician...........a higher one too...' Heio thoughts were put aside as the man spoke again. He was startled, ' An eternity? Until I die?' Heio gulped, he had to get a way out of there.

Then he gave him an alternative. It was fishy. He looked away from the man in thought 'What did he want him to do? Could it be that bad? No, nothing I couldn't handle.' He turned back to the man and saw the smile across his face, and he dreaded what was going to happen. He gulped, "Shoot." Leaving the dread in his mind but his voice lining with confidence.

OC: You Can Join dont matter to me

Cyrus grin quickly turned upside into a coy, sly, and devilish smirk. This is going to be so much fun to watch. Indeed it was going to be quite a feat for one so young to oppose the two forces before him. It was common knowledge of the historic tradition of the Agni Kai, however that was a fire nation tradition and this boy didn’t seem to be a firebender. He forced his grin from his face as he returned to face the dark haired youthful man.

“The fist choice is to challenge the man whom you insulted this afternoon, Admiral Noon. Admiral Noon, for your benefit, is a man that has a bed rep of fighting his opponents to the death.” He Stood in a silent and powerful stance allowing his words to hummer over the cold stone sea. After a few seconds of allowing the intense words to settle once more his lips parted once again, revealing his second option.

“However, the second method is to request for the Fire Lords mercy.” His fingers gripped his chin as his eyes rolled upward towards the top of his head. “I actually don’t remember in all my years of service to the Fire Nation that anyone was able to gain the kings favor. It would be a day in history if that was to ever take place.” He laughed, filling the room with a bit of joy.

“The choice is up too you young one. I will however say to be cautious in what you may choose because the two men whop hold the key to your freedom are indeed powerful. They have won wars on behalf of this nation, defended it against it enemies.” Cyrus heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching, and his eyes cut towards the door wondering who would be join them soon. Lets just hope they don’t blow my cover.

[Prince Zunko]

Zunko had arrived back to the Fire Nation just recently having traveled across the Si Wong desert and had created some new firebending moves he was eager to take his Father on with.

Showing up at the palace he had learned that his Father was taking care of a prisoner who had attacked Admiral Noon. Zunko Instantly new it had to be a foreign person and unlikely the humble airbenders. So most likely a water tribe or Earth Kingdom citizen, going with his gut he guessed A young naive, foolish Earthbender.

Knowing his Father would want to have some fun teasing the poor kid, Zunko decided to take a visit to the prison. Sneaking in and subduing the guards and keeping to the shadows he eventually came right outside the door where his father was giving a young boy a "Choice".

Smirking Zunko decided to flip the tables on his Fathers head in this battle of wits, taking out his crown he slid it into his robes and stepped out into the open.

Bowing to his Father as if a common servant he spoke

"My Lord your wife wishes to know where you are and your son is confused as what to tell her"

Raising his head slightly, So as to stare at his father from the top of his eye's allot more than those words passed between their eyes. In reality Zunko was telling his father without the boys knowledge
Give me one reason not to tell mum

Zunko secretly said his eye's glinting and starring intently at Cyrus, making sure he knew it wasn't a bluff. Secretly he had no wish to tell his mother who between, scolding him for getting so dirty, messy, uncivilized, not keeping in touch log enough, how dare he go on such a dangerous journey never again e.t.c

She would have very little time or energy to scold his father for taking a chat with a convicted felon as it was a rather common practise... well similar anyway and she got to scold his father every day for the whole time Zunko was away and she would want to catch up.

Zunko knew this deep down though he didn't care he could always blow his fathers cover, if he called his bluff, but his mothers scolding was a better threat by far.

[Heio Koko]

Heio silently shivered as he saw the man smile again. 'Creepy...........' He thought, as he wondered what this man had in store for him. Heio stood silent until the man told him of one of his choices. 'Great! I haven't been in a fight for a long time!' he thought but he stood silent for he wanted to hear of his other choice. The other choice he hated, he would only do that if he was seriously desperate. So after the man stopped ranting Heio said with a smile. "Well as much as I love the second choice, I can never avoid a fight, and fighting to the death part, is for all the better!" He said with a chuckle. He knew that would surprise the man and he loved his parents for making him so clever. 'Lets see his smile after that!'

Then unexpectantly a man who looked like he was a servant adress the man about a personal matter. But the servant looked up in his bow and he had a mischevious glint in his eye and he wondered what he and this man was hiding.

[Prince Zunko]

Zunko still waiting for his father to reply, heard the boy pick a fight to the death, He could barely keep a grin in check and lowered his head again and looking at the boy out of the corner of his eye, he gave a quick wink and flash grin. Then returned to the posture he was in before seeing his father in contemplation. Zunko wondered if his father had heard the boy at all.

"My Lord, I beg you to make a decision, or, I will be forced to make one for you" Zunko stated in the voice of a worried and harried servant. Actually saying to his father[HURRY UP! I'll do it myself if you don't make a decision

((Wait for Cyrus now yeh)
