Welcome Home

Suidao wiped the dirt off his shoulders and took his first step into the well lit room. He felt the stone under his feet clean cut but cold as ice. He was barefooted and was still wearing the tattered clothes from the prison. He walked about a foot into the room and looked around. Seeing a small table with a set of three candles burning bright, the wax dripping into a small container under the candles. He tapped his heels on the ground to make sure none of the room was hidden to him. He continued to peer around and saw on the table sheets of paper.

"Welcome home," Suidao said sarcastically feeling as if he was alone and talking to himself. "I guess I will attend to these rags and find my way around." Suidao hesitated his steps waiting for his small shockwaves to reverberate back to him. He wanted to know this place as if it were the back of his hand. His mind prepared for the knowledge his bending would bring.

A pair of cold empty eyes peered out through the darkness, watching the ragged dirty man who was standing in the hall. From the shadows kanda watched, making no movement or sound, just stood there. The demon had been waiting for this man, the Earth bender named Suidao. Kanda heard of this mans power, and his dark past. A tortured man, a opressed man, put down by those who felt they were better, imprisoned by those who feared him. Just like everyone else, they feared what they did not understand, and because of this fear suidao was forced to live a life of pain and torment. But He understood this man, knew his pain and felt a connection to him. So he invited the bender to join him, pay a visit to his grand island and check things out.

The man looked around the hall, searching and already make his self at home. Kanda made note of every detail, taking it all in for personal use. He gave the man some time to get comfortable, before showing himself. After several seconds, Kanda emerged from the darkness, looking like a twisted image from someones nightmare. His black cloak fluttered around him, the mask the only thing apart from the darkness. Beneath that mask was a twisted grin, with a ready man. "Welcome home suidao, Im glad you have decided to join us. It must have been a rough journey huh, but you are finally here." His voice echoed out, dark and raspy. "You look tired, hungry, and your cloths deffinantly need changing. There is already a room ready for you down stairs, i hope you find it satisfactory. "

He moved forward a little, not making any other motion beside that. "First there is a small matter of buissness we need to sort out. Before i can allow you to leave this room, you will need to demonstrate to me your ability. Show me what you got and what you have to bring to the Nen Ken Po." No-face purred a little under his cloak as he spoke, apparently feeling the same feeling kanda had. He knew a fight was about to break out, and was ready for it.

"If you don't want me to leave," Suidao moves his hand from his left side to the right. Intending to slide a slab of stone across the entrance, "then shut the door." Suidao's shockwave shoots back to him. Immediately making a map of the area. He could sense the ground under the man's feet. It was bare nothing under it at all.

"Though as to not to destroy my home I will make a slight change of scenery." Suidao drags his feet apart creating an opening in the earth underneath him. He drops 2 meters and then earthbends a narrow tunnel under the man. If the leader of this revoluntionary group doesnt move Suidao will push his hands into the earth above him and use a technique similar to his drag as to make the new leader fall right into his tunnel.

The man had a firm voice, even after being abused for so long in his past. He was a strong man, and held himself firm no matter what he had faced. This pleased Kanda, he did not want weak members, he did not want cracks in his foundation. As he told the man to prove himself, and that he would not be allowed to leave, Suiado used his earth bending to drag the earthern door shut, closing them both int he room. He smirked, this man was cocky, and did not run from a challenge, no matter how suicidal it was.

He was quick to begin, sliding his feet and causing the ground to open up beneath him. Kanda watched as the man slipped beneath the ground, and attempted to open the ground up under him as well. Normally one would want to avoid falling under ground with an earth bender, and would do all they could to stay above ground. However he would amuse the man, and dropped beneath the surface of the ground, joining Suidao.

The earth under the hall was dark and damp, it was almost im possible to see except for the light drifting down from the surface into the tunnel. Just like any earth bender, Kanda felt at home down here, not because of the dirt but because of the darkness. "Nice move, my turn however." And with that kanda bursted forth, running along the far right side of the tunnel, keeping close and hidden in the shadows. It would be hard to see him, and he would move at a quick easy pace. With a sudden jolt kanda sent his left hand flying at suidaos face, left hand clenched to punch him in the face.

Suidao could not see the man, but heard his words. They were cold, but close. The dark figure was in Suidao's tunnel. This was his opponents first mistake Suidao thought. As he got into the tunnels Suidao knew that he could not fight one on one but he could capture his opponent and go from there. Without knowing how his opponent moved from the hole, he moved his feet apart. He stanced his body and lifted a slab of earth in the tunnel, The new wall would seperate himself from his opponent.

Then with a sudden bolt he was struck right in the face. He felt the hand of his opponent hit him in the face and stumbled a bit. He was a bit surprised at the speed of his opponent but as he stumbled backward about a two feet he moved his hand out ready for an earthbending technique. He would move his hand above and then create a wall of earth between him and where he was in the tunnel. The new wall of the tunnel is almost a foot and a half thick. Then remembering the other two cracks he left in the floor he would bend the tunnel closed from both the holes.

A cruel smile would spread over his face as his gloved knuckles smacked right against the boys cheek, clothed glove met dirty rough flesh, and with an intense amount of pain would shoot through his face, however this was not the only thing he would feel, for as soon as they touched, a large shock would pulse from his fist into the mans face, spreading up his head and down his neck. He would twitch and shake a little as the jolts made their way through his body. it would be a very uncomfortable feeling that he had no way of stopping for now.

As the punch landed, Kanda instantly doubled back, taking a few steps back to create space between the two. A few seconds passed as eh realized the man was now closing off the entire tunnle, pluging the holes used to get down here, and creating a wall of earth between them. He was scared of kanda now, and he had good reason to be. In a dark raspy voice he called out down the pitch black hall. "Dont be afraid my child, confront the fear, face your pain and step at it with the desire to crush it." His words were in hopes to instill a sense of courage in suidao, and hopefully make this battle harder.

Spoiler:

Suidao tapped his heels again on the ground he wanted to know exactly where the leader of this group was, he wasnt taking chances. He then moved the wall of the tunnel without moving from where he had stood after being knocked down and slowly grinded it down the hall causing the space on the other side of the tunnel to decrease. He would stop the wall from moving after letting about a two meter square of space. Then finally Suidao opened his mouth feeling a shock go through from moving the muscles again. "Its funny to talk about crushing you when its under my control."
