Listen and read

As the young man continued to travel down the road through republic city the sights caught him in a glamor. It was fascinating, captivating even. He was completely engulfed by the cities atmosphere. And for the most part, he was enamored.

Tubbz: Its just like I imagined it is!

By now he was walking alongside Lunlun who had been slowly pacing behind him. Though the creature seemed out of place. Most citizens had a vehicle of some sort and Tubbz looked a complete country bumpkin. He stuck out like a sore thumb. Passing by a vendor, an elderly man would flag him down, waving a white rag through the air left and right in attempts to catch the young mans attention.

Old man: Hey! Kid! C'mere!

Tubbz stopped in his tracks, looking left to right before he turned his head towards the vendor. The elderly man had been wearing a blazer and a straw hat, a toothpick in his mouth as well. Underneath the blazer had been a tattered brown shirt. From the waist down, however, he'd just been in his boxers though most wouldn't be able to tell considering the table covered up his lower half. To the normal citizen, they would know that something was off about this guy, but to Tubbz? Well... He didn't have the slightest clue that what he'd been viewing had been odd.

Tubbz: Who me?

He said approaching the elderly man placing his hands on the table, smiling from ear to ear as he Drug lunlun along with him.

Old man: That's right! You! Whats ya name Kid?

Tubbz: My names Tubbz.

Old man: Tubbz? What kinda name is that!

Tubbz: One you get when everyone around you is a jerk mostly...

He said with a sigh before stuffing his hands into his pockets.

Old man: Hm, you look like a smart kid.

Tubbz: You think so?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: Oh I know so. And a kid like you? Well... you need the latest bits of gear to woo the ladies! The latest clothes, the latest err... ( He'd take a glance at Lunlun, cocking a brow )cars? Well I. Joseen, have just the thing, for you!

<p style="white-space:normal;">The elderly man would pull out a golden plak the size of a small notepad placing it right in Tubbz face

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: A Credit plak!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: A...A what?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: A credit plak! Didn't you hear me the first time!?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Whats a... credit Plak?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: Whats a Credit Plak!? Are you kidding me?! Why its all the rage in today's high society. With this card, you can get whatever you want, and then pay it back whenever you get ready to of course! All you have to do is take it to your nearest bank! And have them sign it over with the appropriate paperwork!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Anything I want?!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: Anything!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: ( Reaching for it. ) I'll take it!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: ( Snatching it back ) Nu-uh-uh. Not so fast, you heh. Well...

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">The Elderly man would grin from ear to ear with a sinister look in his eye.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: Well... you're going to have to buy it of course.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: ( Tilts his head) Um, how much?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: A small, measely, teeny tiny price of... 50 gold pieces.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Okay.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: REALLY!??!?! YOU'LL REALLY BUY IT!? nooneseverbeenstupidenoughtobuyit!!!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: What did you say?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: N-Nothing!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Hm... well yeah! Sure I'll buy it! If it means I can get whatever I want! That could help a lot with me just moving in here from the earth kingdom.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: Earth Kingdom? I knew you were a country boy. How long did it take you to get here?

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: It was a four-day ride. But, we only took two stops. But, here ya go! 50 gold pieces.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz would have taken his jar out, filled with all the currency. The elderly man's eyes glowed with shock as his jaw dropped from the large sum of money in the young man's possession.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Old man: W-WHAT. WHERE D-DID YOU GET ALL THAT M-MON---

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Thanks for the card! Seeya around!

<p style="white-space:normal;">After placing the money on the table Tubbz would get back on top of Lunlun as he made his way down to the nearest bank!

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Oh boy lunlun! We just got here and we've already hit it big! I LOVE REPUBLIC CITTTTYYY!!!

<p style="white-space:normal;">---

<p style="white-space:normal;">A few minutes later at the bank 

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">Bank teller: Young man... this is a yellow plak of wood. I don't know what a " Credit Plak " is... but it doesn't exist in the world of banking. It seems you were swindled.

<p style="white-space:normal;">Tubbz: Whaaaaaattt??? But... but the old guy said that... Ahhh man...

<p style="white-space:normal;">Before Tubbz could continue to protest a large THUMMMMMM! Could be heard.

<p style="white-space:normal;">

<p style="white-space:normal;">Listen and read 

A large group of fire benders would have blown the doors of the bank causing all the citizens inside to rush and leap in whichever way that they could to avoid immediate danger! Tubbz, however, stood dumbfounded with a confused expression on his face.



Thug 1: Alright Everyone! Listen up! This is the Agni Kai triad! And we've come to collect! We've told the managers of this bank for the past month that they were on Agni Kai Triad turf and its time to pay up. Our boss has waited long enough...

The teller who had just spoken to Tubbz would have leaped down cowering in fear while the firebenders began to burn anything that they could within the small establishment to show that they meant business. The Agni Kai Triad is a rival gang of the Triple Threat and Red Monsoon Triads, with whom they often engage in turf wars.The Agni Kai Triad consists solely of firebenders.

Thug 2: Last time were asking! Give us all the money we asked for right n- UNGHH!

The thug would have been blasted in the wall with a burst of rock that left his head rattling the impact was so strong!

Thug 1: What the!?

Turning around he'd see none other than the chubby hero himself! Throwing large beach ball sized boulders at the assailants!



One by one the blast of rocks would riddle into the group of gangsters!

Thug4: Who the hells that!?

Thug1: I don't know! Take him ou-- UNGGHHH!



A blast of the earth would erupt into the leading thug knocking him into the wall so hard that his body imprinted into it. Tubbz stood, with his hands extended as he'd levitate two large rocks in his hands with a stale expression on his face.

Tubbz: Sorry... I'm new in town. And I don't know how things work here. But you guys remind me of the bandits back home. And before my dad got all soft... I was the one who handled the bandit attacks on our farm personally...

The first thug would have risen, holding onto his limp arm while Tubbz continued to stare him down from a distance with two large rocks levitating above his hands.



Tubbz: I don't like bandits. And I don't like you guys...
