(The humans in mach suits start beating Trey while he is still unconscious.)
Micheal: *Sigh* Talk about kicking him while he's down...
Raine: Why are we just sitting here?? He needs help!
Micheal: He said not to interfere. So we don't interfere.
Raine: You said until necessary! That looks necessary! What happened to "I'm not gonna let my best friend get himself killed!!"?
Micheal: Is it necessary for us to jump in?
Raine: Micheal-!
Alma: Calm down, Raine. I've only seen Trey fight a couple times, but he has never needed help.
Zellos: I agree. If he wasn't as tough as he boasts, then I would've killed him long ago.
Raine: You guys sound insane...He's unconscious!! It's 3 on 1 and he's unconscious!!
Micheal: Patience, patience. Just enjoy the show.
Raine: What? The show?
---------------------------------
Sokka: Wow, he will not wake up. You even started using blunt objects. Or did he wake up and was immediately knocked back out? Hmmm...
Mach suit: Well, now what?
Sokka: Well, I did say kill him.
(Sokka spots a sharp metal shard and picks it up.)
Sokka: Let's use something sharper, yeah?
---------------------------------
(Inside Trey's mind.)
Trey: Bolas?
Bolas: ...What?
Trey: Come on Bolas.
Bolas: What do you want?
Trey: I'm in danger. Give me some power for free.
Bolas: No technique I can grant will allow you to turn this around.
Trey: Well, there is one. Eh? Eehh?
Bolas: You want elemental body, for free...?
Trey: Free? Yes and no. I mean, sure to you it's free. But I didn't allow him to overpower me this quickly for nothing.
Bolas: Trying to back me into a corner and force me to give you elemental body?
Trey: Honestly, I would've lasted only 10 min longer. Either way we would be right here having this conversation.
Bolas: And you risked your life to do this?...Hahahaha. This is why I like you, kid. You're just like him. Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you about the effects. (Though, I told Celsius not to for that girl, but she did anyway. So I can't fall behind her again.)
Trey: Alright! I'm ready!
Bolas: No, you're not. By the way, your test for this will be in your reality. And as a pity gift, I will give you something else. Now, wake up!
--------------------------------
(Sokka goes to jab the shard into Trey's jugular. But as it approaches, it becomes scorching hot and melts.)
Sokka: Huh? Aw man, he woke up.
(Flames surround Trey's body which then takes the form of a clawed hand and swatts the mach suited people away.)
Trey: (Pity gift, eh?) Hahahaha! Finally! I get to learn what's so dangerous about elemental body! And coincidentally, so do you.
Sokka: Tch, elemental body, eh?
(Trey's A.O.E. spreads to 5 miles out.)
Sokka: *Disinterested* Wow, nice.
Trey: Come on, be a little more excited. Bolas is watching after all. Impressions, impressions.
Sokka: Who is Bolas?
Trey: My collaborator. I thought you did your research.
Sokka: Like I cared about names.
Trey: Disrespectful. Hey.
Sokka: What?
Trey: I've been carrying something really heavy in my pocket.
(Trey reaches his right hand into his pocket.)
Trey: I don't really wanna carry it anymore. Could you maybe...?
Sokka: What are you kidding?? Why would I-?
(Suddenly, at mach three, Trey punches Sokka in the gut.)
Trey: Thanks man. You see how heavy this was? I'm glad you were willing to take it.
Sokka: How? Mach 3? The file said two!
Trey: A man can change in a whole week. In my case, Zellos gave me some speed training.
