Sachi smirked. So Rhino had noticed his mistake after all. "Leon, keep the motor going. Sayuri, distract Rhino as much as you can. I'll keep on bending the metal so Mety doesn't break down." As Mety punched itself in the chest and left a big hole, Sachi metalbended the floating metal in the water and covered it in the hole. As another punch came, Sachi sandbended, making the sand form into a hard outer shell and it took the blow and pushed the arm back. "If Heion joins in, distract him to from breaking Mety down. Leave him alone if he's just focusing on getting the ship ahead." Sachi chewed her bottom lip. She hoped she didn't sound too bossy.
Taking a deep breath, Sachi suddenly had an idea. Turning Mety right beside the boat, Sachi watched as Heion continued to bend. Bending the sand, a huge thick wall of clay rose from the ground and surrounded Mety, protecting him from harm. She could tell that Heion's waterbending was spraying the clay with water everywhere, which was what Sachi was trying to get. Shooting out a small landing from the ground, the ground lifted Mety up so the only part that wasn't covered was the top. "Rhino has to bend the sand in order to get Mety. Metalbending without truley touching the metal is impressive, but no one can metalbend without looking to see where it is, unless you're Toph, but he's not. You can't feel any vibrations in the water either, so that's out of the question for Rhino. Since the sand/clay is already wet, it would take him longer to remove the sand. That's when you guys come in. You can sandbend or earthbend and take care of Rhino while he tries to remove the barrier. If he stops trying, go on with the motor and I'll tear down the barrier and we can move ahead. If Heion joins in, one of you take care of him and the other take care of Rhino..." While she was saying this, another plan was forming in Sachi's mind. She's was taking this step by step, but also tricking her opponents.
"Guys, even if Rhino does break down the walls, I have a Plan B. If he does, I am going to stuff my hands in the water one more time and I want you to come to my side. I'm going to push the sand and the ground together, which, will shoot the bottom of Mety up and send us through the air. When we land, find a piece of drift wood and get on it straight away. Then make a motor of yourself and shoot out." Sachi poked a small hole in the side of the barrier and pointed to a few pieces of the parts leftover of their boat. "Everyone know the plan?"

"Well, they got quite a jump on us huh?" Ninken said to Dairou as he walked toward past the starting line. "Well, certainly are in a hurry arn't they... They didn't even consider just waiting a little while and avoiding the battles." As he neared the boat that would take them both the rest of the way to the Fire Nation Colonies he began to wonder just how far behind they really were from the other groups. Regardless of how confident he tried to look on the outside, he really hadn't anticipated getting quite this far behind. "Lets see if they notice when we just pass right by them..." With that, he borded the ship, lit the fires, and entered the race.

Leon heard Sachi talking about a plan.She said,"Everyone have the plan?".Leon nodded letting Sachi know that she knew what they had to do.She continued to motor their boat.She stared at the waterbender moving their boat along.Then she turned to look at Rhino.This was exciting and competitive.Leon was getting tireder and tireder every second of the race.Some sleep she had.She turned to look at Sachi.She was a great leader.

OOC: Yay!!!
Sachi rolled her eyes. When was he going to start tearing the sand down? Is he even going to do it? She was wasting her time by the second. Poking small holes in the sand barrier, Sachi looked out and smiled. So Heion was still bending, but they were keeping up with the boat.
“I haven’t exactly tried doing this slingshot technique, but hopefully it’ll work. I’ve seen my sister do it once.” Sachi told her friends hopefully and kept her hands working on the motor. This was getting a bit tiring. Letting out a deep breath, Sachi waited for Rhino’s attack but then her brain hit something—hard. “Oh no… I just remembered! Metal rusts in the water!” Sachi exclaimed to her friends and sighed. “Okay so either way, we’re slingshotting ourselves out of here and find a large piece of driftwood that we can float on.” Sachi knew they were safe either way. They might not be ahead all of the sudden—but they were safe since you couldn’t hear their conversation either way. (Literally)

Leon was still motoring the boat and Sachi was telling them more stuff.Leon knew she should listen in.As Sachi began talking Leon turned her head to Sachi.But then she felt a big bump under the boat and she fell down hard!She gasped as she felt another huge bump!What was going on!Rhino or Heion weren't doing anything.She looked back and their were huge rocks like icebergs that just suddenly appeared!What was going on!?

Sachi grimaced as Mety hit a huge iceberg. “Sandbend them away! Push them away!” Sachi yelled as she bended the sand from the ocean and knocked the iceberg away, using the holes as her sight. More came and she kept on knocking them over and out of the way. As she was doing this, a voice popped into her head. You should have worn your Fire Nation clothing. That way, the colonists won’t be suspicious of your attire. The voice said but Sachi’s face cracked into a smile. The colonists are new. They won’t be suspicious. They would just think that I’ve come to live there or something and that I was going to change later on—which—is what I’m going to do. She thought back and then started bumping more icebergs out of the way.
There were too many icebergs and also, Mety was starting to get rusty. “I think it’s time for the Slingshot Plan!” Sachi called toward her teammates and moved toward the motor. “Ready? I’ll let go on three… One! Two!” Sachi pushed down hard and let the sand push against the snowman. “Three!” She let go and the three earthbenders were thrown over the barrier. (That was why Sachi left the top open). Landing in the water, Sachi smiled. She knew they could rest at the Colonies. That was part of the rules. “Find a driftwood!” She yelled and she quickly grabbed one the size of a small raft. Putting her hands back into the water, Sachi motored herself over to her friends.

Sachi turned back to Heion and Rhino and stuck out her tongue. “You tell them Leon!!!” Sachi yelled back and joined her friends, motoring as fast as she could. “Now that we’re on a lighter mass, we’ll be able to go even faster. Here’s the plan: We’re not exactly going to attack—just defend. I can tell that we’re pretty close to the colonies now.” Sachi nodded toward a big black speck in the distance. “Once we get off, Midori said that at the beginning of the race, we can rest and go shopping for extra supplies. That’s exactly what we will do. I expect the other teams to do the same things so that’s why we should hurry it up but also rest fully. It’ll give us more energy. Remember to buy our “supplies”.” Sachi winked at her friends. She had already told them what to buy at the stores.

Leon winked back at Sachi.They were in first place so they got a pretty good advantage.She turned back to her front and saw the speck.It grew closer and closer as the got closer to the colonies.

OOC: RP Race Rules: 8-10 sentences or something With one quote Sachi kept on motoring herself away. For some reason, the other teams weren’t biting back. She showed the sign of stopping but then thought against it. “Just keep on going!” Sachi told her teammates and then splashed the water. A huge dust of sand came up and surrounded Rhino and Heion’s boat. “That should keep them busy.” Sachi muttered and she motored herself close to the Colonies. The small speck was now only a few 10 meters away. Sachi could feel her heart pounding faster and faster. Only a few more meters left and then they would reach the second part of the race! “Let’s speed up just in case.” She told Sayuri and Leon. OOC: And here’s when I will stop posting so I can give the other teams a chance to catch up. Besides, we can’t just keep on going like this without any signs of struggle.

Heion watched as the girls were thrown through the air and landed in the water, using driftwood as their new boats. It was a good way to get away from the ice that Heion had made and he was impressed. It was very clever...for all of two seconds. Greeeeaaaat plan, Sachi. Really great.
"Girls rule, huh?" Heion muttered under his breath. He pushed the boat forward and let it move on its own for just a moment. As that went on, he bent the water around the girls, freezing a huge ring of ice around them. It climbed several yards into the air. That being done, he also froze the water underneath them, encasing them in an icy room of sorts...an icy room with extremely high walls. Satisfied that they were stopped, Heion continued pushing the boat forward, faster than ever.

Sachi raised an eyebrow as Heion made his move. Large feet of ice surrounded them and she jumped off of her driftwood, landing on the slippery ice. After regaining her balance, she let out a deep breath and thought. Finally, she came up with a solution. Putting her hand on the ground, she concentrated, her eyes closed, and a deep rumble came underneath them. A huge sand thorn suddenly stuck up from the ground, splitting it apart. Water splashed everywhere after the half-made ice and then there were two parts of the ice. “Okay, let’s go,” Sachi told her teammates and quickly threw her driftwood back into the water and started motoring away.
But something was nagging her in the back of her mind. Rhino had been quiet—too quiet. Gulping at what type of plan the earthbender would have thought by now, Sachi continued to paddle, her teammates either behind or beside her. “We’re almost there!” Sachi yelled and pointed to the now, huge speck that was a few meters from them. She could see the shores clearly and her hearted pounded faster than ever. The boat was in front of them and Sachi grinned. “I got them,” She told her friends and stood up on her driftwood. Now that the water was slowly getting shallow, she could bend the sand easier and also take sand from the shores. Lifting both arms up, towers and sticks of sand came from the ground, lifted the bottom of the boat into the air and also in place. She formed a long spear from the hardened sand, aimed, and threw it straight at the side of the boat with a lot of spin and force. The spear traveled at top speed and hit the side as it made a hole, traveled on the inside and went out. The boat and driftwoods stopped at the shore of the colony and Sachi jumped off and motioned for her friends to follow. No one was close to the shores so she could earthbend freely. “We should get some rest after this. Midori said we could as part of the rules. We need to get our energy back and pick up some supplies. Let’s go find a hotel to stay at.” With one last look at the boat, Sachi quickly picked up her pace and hoped that her friends were following behind her.
OOC: The second part of the race... Here we come! Once Sayuri or Leon posts in this thread, we can move onto the next thread.

OOC: Hurray! Sachi, Leon, and Sayuri's team passed the first part of the race! Just go to the second part of the race located at the Fire Natio Colonies- Other Areas. Don't worry about buying Fire Nation clothing and wearing them--just buy them and wear them later on in the race.
Hint: Remember to rest!

OOC:....Where is Dairou? "We're getting no where fast now" Ninken said as he looked at the open water spreading out in front of the ship. It was clear that no one was around and that there probly had not been anyone around for hours. They continued on, the aged Earth Kingdom ship creaking and lerching with each wave they broke over. "Mabey its time to just abandon this and head out on the light crafts..." Ninken thought as he looked toward five small metal skiffs that h ad been branded with the Fire Nation insignia. They were small, holding two people on one would be quite a trick, but fast and would cover a lot of ground without much effort. They ran off fire and Ninken had spent years using them to travel between fishing colonies back in the Fire Nation.
