006 - [Week I, DAN 101, M0800]

[The transition period between quarters had been a nice vacation-- it's been a long while since Katara had the chance to sleep in and the waterbender had taken advantage of the opportunity; she wasn't much of a morning person, given her ties to the moon. But for once, she's looking forward to waking up at the break of dawn-- she has signed up for Ballroom Dancing at the earliest slot available hoping that a fun class would be a nice thing to wake up to.

Katara arrives to the expansive ballroom on the second floor before a majority of the other cadets, judging by the few number of students waiting around. She's dressed in her cadet uniform, something she still has yet to get use to-- not that she doesn't like it, but it's so unfamiliar to the clothing that she's accustomed to wearing.

Leaning against a wall, her blue eyes gaze around absentmindedly to see if she can spot out a familiar face amongst the scarce number of cadets.]

[There's no 'further sound' because Zuko's too busy whacking the damn monster with the fire-whips!

The T-Rexaur snarls and gnashes its teeth, twisting around to swipe its tail at the nuisance with the fire, infuriated. Zuko throws himself over the tail and rolls to the side and scrambles to push himself up in hopes of evading the beast and its snapping teeth, as it charges him with long, running strides. It's too bad Zuko's not fast enough this time, crying out when he feels the sharp teeth rip into his jacket and pierce skin.

Like a toy he's flung from side to side hanging from the T-Rexaur's jaws, teeth digging deeper into tissue and muscle. Bone dislocates and the pain that's quick to wash over him and flood his senses leaves him dizzy and sweating more than he already has. But he pushes past it, gritting his teeth and biting back his pained sounds; he brings up his free arm and catches the T-Rexaur in the side of the head with a fire-dagger, repeatedly digging it into the beast's eye.

Zuko hits the ground hard on his good side and relief washes over him, but it's sadly short-lived. The T-Rexaur backs up and gives another ferocious bellow before grabbing up the cadet again and using him as a toy for the second time. Only this time Zuko ends up flung through the trees and crashes through into Katara's side. He rolls once he hits the ground and comes to a stop with his back to her, not exactly moving or responding.

Well. That's a great way to start the day.

Especially when that T-Rexaur follows, charging through the bushes and trees, intent on making a nice lovely little snack out of the firebender. Until it spots Katara near the creek.]

[She was just about to resume her meditation when suddenly a body is flung through the foliage, skidding along the earth before finally coming to a stop. Katara's eyes are wide, and it takes her several moments to realize that it was Zuko's body that had literally been thrown across the Training Center.

With a gasp, Katara scrambles forward, her hands already coated with water and mind immediately jumping into healing mode. But the stomping of the T-Rexuar catches her attention, and Katara manages to look up and spot the giant beast running straight for her.

What was she going to do?

Her eyes flickering from Zuko's lifeless body to the hungry dinosaur, Katara leaps to her feet, arms pulling more water from the stream to form a whip before lashing it at the T-Rexar's muzzle.]

[It wasn't like Toph couldn't hear the T-rexaur as it roared it's way through the Training Center. The monster had been her friend as of late, with her being able to calm it before it had a chance to make her it's late night snack one night.

But this seemed like her new biffle was angry... but why. Why was it so angry, hm? Toph tore through the trees, searching for the source of its anger...

...only to come across this new scene near the creek. Zuko and Katara. Oh gods why.

Toph slammed her foot down, making the ground rumble slightly.]

T-Rexaur! Bad boy! Get away from them right now!

[Katara is more than relieved when she sees Toph from behind the T-Rexuar, using her Earthbending to distract the dinosaur. With the attention drawn away from her, Katara promptly turns around and kneels beside Zuko, hands hastily pulling his jacket off-- and her brow furrows with worry when she sees the bloodstained undershirt underneath. She promptly forges an ice blade to cut through the fabric, and once she has clear access to the wound on his shoulder, she envelopes her hand in a glove of water before pressing it against the open flesh, the liquid glowing beneath her touch.]

[Toph takes her place in between Zuko and Katara and the T-rexaur, holding her hands in front of her. She's glaring as much as she can at the monster, stomping her foot again.]

Back up! Now!

[Still keeping an eye on the large dinosaur, Toph calls out to Katara.] Hey, are you guys okay?

[Mostly Zuko's unresponsive throughout all of this, no twitch of the brow, no flinching away from the cool water moving over the injuries healing them. Any 'sign' from him is short, ragged breaths, as he still lays there unconscious.

The T-Rexaur growls at the tiny human girl, baring its teeth. But otherwise makes no move. Yet.]

[When the surface wound has healed, the skin leaving no signs of any scars, Katara gently prods the shoulder area with her fingers and she isn't all to happy with what she feels. There's no doubt that he has a broken shoulder, but that was an injury far beyond what he healing abilities were capable of fixing. They would have to get him to the infirmary, where the Doctor would need to set the bones right.

Katara looks up to see Toph as she asks the question, and she gives a small shake of her head though the Earthbender can't see it.]

Toph, I have to get him to the infirmary-- his shoulder is broken and I can't heal it.

Can you get him up by yourself?

[Don't you dare growl at her, T-rexaur. Her eyes narrow, and her arms move in for those familiar earthbending techniques. She shoves forward, the earth moving with the t-rexaur on it.]

Don't growl at me!

[She's already gingerly draping his good arm around her shoulders, attempting to hoist him up despite his weight-- he has a lot more muscle than her, combined with the height he has over her.]

He's a little heavy, but I think I can get him to the infirmary. [She'd probably fashion them an ice slide all the way from the TC, through the lobby and into the infirmary. Hopefully the faculty will understand the emergency situation.]

[The T-Rexaur moves back into the trees with the movement of the earth beneath its feet. But like that's enough to stop it, as it growls again and stomps forward to clear the foliage and tall, thin trees, glowering down at Toph with its one good eye.

Its tail twitches restlessly behind it, rustling the bushes.]

What did I tell you! My friends are not snacks! Bad T-rexaur! [She even shakes her finger at it. Bad puppy.]

I'll help you carry him. [Backing away from the monster, Toph goes under Zuko's arm, supporting his torso. She's not going to touch hims arm. At least not on purpose.]

Hey, I have an idea--

[With her free hand, she motions the water to pool around their feet-- the curl of her fingers forced the liquid to solidify into ice, and a tug of her hand raises it like a pedestal. She makes the bottom layer melt just a touch, cooling it to an ice slope to guide them into the creek; and with the water under her control, she guides the current to float them to the entrance of the Training Center.

Once at the end of the creek, Katara wills the water to leap over the edge, solidifying to ice to create a slide. As they slide along their makeshift ice block, she wills the slide to extend further and further beyond, from the Training Center entrance, threading through the lobby (and around several bewildered cadets), before arriving to the entrance of the infirmary.]

[Toph does not like this idea, Katara. She does not like this at ALL. You know how she feels about being completely blind! She clings to Zuko, grabbing into Katara's uniform jacket as well. She's muttering the entire time.]

Oh spirits, oh spirits... oh, I'm gonna die, I'm not going to live through this, oh spirits...

Sorry, Toph-- it was the easiest way to get us all here! Zuko's too heavy for even the both of us to carry.

[Dr. Kadowaki is surprised to see the two girls with Zuko slung over their shoulders, especially when there's an absence of any major wound-- but it's more than obvious that he's unconscious. Katara explains the situation to the Doctor, who promptly nods before rushing him off to a cot, shooing the benders away.

And now they wait.]
