Several weeks later, Haru was practically a master himself; sure, he wasn't as good as Jeong Jeong but was close. He was a true prodigy. The fastest learning student out of Jeong Jeong's two students he ever had.(Two including Haru)
"We will soon be traveling to a different location. The Fire Nation is always searching for me and I can't afford to always be in one place for long," Jeong Jeong told Haru.
"I remember you told me that," Haru nodded." Do you think I can go to the Fire Days Festival once more before we leave?" Haru asked.
"You may go tonight," Jeong Jeong approved.
"Alright!" Haru silently exclaimed. He enjoyed the festival the first time around and knew he'd enjoy it the second time.
"And while you're there, you can get yourself a new set of clothes," Jeong Jeong chuckled." The only thing not burned from your training is that headband."
Haru looked at his clothes. They really were burned in several areas.
"But, for now, you will go practice your bending. I'll join you later for a match," the master told the pupil.
Haru bowed at the waist before going to his training area. During his time training over the past few weeks, his own power heightened greatly. But he has also felt that power skyrocket and fall several more times.
He reached his training area and began his normal everyday warmup before starting his katas. Jeong Jeong joined him soon enough and the two were soon facing each other getting ready to fight.
"Ready?" Jeong Jeong questioned.
Haru nodded as he took up his stance. Which was just a tweaked version of the Turtle-Style stance. He was ready.This time, I'll win, he thought.
He punched forward, creating a ball of azure fire before shuffling his right foot towards Jeong Jeong at a faster speed than the ball.
The old master was ready and stepped on the first fire wave that came fast and dodged the next one to the left.
But Haru was relentless and shuffled more before creating two more balls of fire.
Jeong Jeong jumped over the floored flames and took control of the fireball before throwing it right back at the half-Saiyan.
Haru parted the ball before dodging two more Jeong Jeong sent his way. He flipped over the last one with a front flip and shot a powerful blast at Jeong Jeong with his feet.
Jeong Jeong retaliated with a powerful stream of fire that nearly caught Haru off guard. The half-Saiyan smiled as he brought a column of blue fire up that protected him from the attack.
He didn't wait to see what the old master would do because he jumped directly in the air and flipped over his master after he let the column drop and pointed his hand at Jeong Jeong.
"Looks like I won this one," he grinned.
"Very good," Jeong Jeong complimented. "Your young mind has come up with a strategy that succeeded. However, I won't hold back tomorrow," he warned.
Haru nodded in understanding. Man, I thought he had been serious this entire time. Guess I'll have to try harder tomorrow, he thought with a smirk before taking off to his own hut.
Such raw power, Jeong Jeong thought after Haru had left. It's a good thing he's not with the Fire Nation army or he really could cause untold destruction to the world.
Haru walked back to his hut to get his money before going to the town.
Entering the town, he walked straight to Junkos. He bought the exact same outfit he was wearing with an extra headband before changing and folding up his clothes.
He walked out to enjoy the festival. He wanted to watch the fire performance again. He wanted to ask the man how he made the fire look like a dragon. Jeong Jeong never taught him how because he said it was a "waste of time" and never told him how.
He made his way over to the front and stood by as the show began.
Later, the magician had just completed his bird in the fire trick.
"I got to learn that trick," a bald kid wearing orange and yellow robes with blue arrow tattoos said.
Haru looked over to the kid and his two companions; a girl wearing a dark purple cloak and a boy with a dark blue cloak.
His stomach growled before he could say anything and he made his way back to the camp. He hadn't brought all his money so he had to go back there to eat.
He exited and jogged back to the camp site. After he ate, he went into his hut to sleep. And he did so. When he woke up, he heard Jeong Jeong instructing," Widen your stance."
He sat up and stretched Who's he talking to? he asked himself.
"Wider."
He heard the shuffling of feet.
"Bend your knees."
More shuffling.
"Now concentrate... Good, Good," he heard Jeong Jeong walking away.
"Wait, what do I do know?" he heard a familiar voice ask.
"Silence! Talking is not concentrating. Look at your friend; is she talking? Even that oaf knows to concentrate on what he's doing."
"Hey!" Sokka complained, sounding offended.
Sokka? Haru questioned as he got dressed.
"But what am I concentrating on?"
"Feel the heat of the sun. It is the greatest source of fire. It is in balance with nature."
Haru extended his senses to confirm that it was Sokka. He also sensed Katara and that power!
He exited his hut in time to hear the kid ask, "So when do I get to make some fire blast?"
"Concentrate!" Jeong Jeong ordered as he walked away.
He started chuckling in sync with Sokka and Katara, drawing their attention to him.
"Who are you?" The kid asked.
"Haru?" Katara and Sokka gasped.
"Hi, Guys," he greeted with a smile.
In a realm where the spirits roam, one spirit, one angel, and one god have been watching the half-Saiyan since he arrived in this world. The former had requested the latter two many years ago.
Agni was his name and the two he requested were Whis, and Leafy, The Super Saiyan Goddess.
"I don't like this," Leafy complained. "He's a Saiyan and he worked for all that power. You shouldn't have taken it from him," she crossed her arms.
"It's already been explained to you; it's just a precaution for in case he becomes evil," Agni said.
"How can he become evil? He's a descendent of mine and is pure of heart. There is no possible way for that to happen," Leafy said. "If anything, he'd just destroy this Fire Lord no problem," she said.
"Anything can happen," Whis told her.
"I guess you're right, Venerable one," Leafy bowed to Whis.
"Anyways, he already found his restrained power," Whis told Agni.
"Eventually, he will find a way to release those powers. Then what do we do?" Agni asked.
"I can contain them again but he'll just release them again. It'll be a continuous loop that I care not to be a part of," Whis said.
"Can't you make it stronger next time?" Agni asked.
"I've made it as strong as I can without killing him," Whis said.
"I see," Leafy said as she mentally rooted for the kid to unleash his powers. Whis wouldn't continue back and forth, then the kid would be at his best all the time.
"And what happens if he becomes evil and gets his power back?" Agni asked.
"We will not interfere," Whis said." This prophecy you created says that there is a possibility of that happening. It could go either way, " Whis told him.
"So, now what?" Leafy asked.
"You are going back to the otherworld. You only had to agree to let one of your descendants be brought here. As I agreed to let someone from my universe be brought here. While I'll stay and watch for a little while, you are to return back to otherworld," Whis said.
"Can I keep my body this time?" Leafy asked hopefully.
"Ask King Yemma," Whis said as he tapped his staff one time, causing Leafy to be transported to the check in station.
"Now, shall we see how things turn out from here?" Agni inquired.
"Yes," Whis agreed.
