Duels (174 AG)

Duels are battles fought by at least two individuals and can be considered a form of recreation, a way of settling disputes, or a training tool for students who are developing skills in a particular fighting art. They may be friendly spars, fought to pass time, or in the most extreme cases, fought to the death. A variety of cultures practice dueling.

The following is a list of known duels that occurred in 174 AG.

Duel between Kai, Opal and Earth Kingdom bandits
Combatants: Kai, Opal and three bandits

Victor: Kai and Opal

Three bandits rob a store in a small town somewhere in the Earth Kingdom. They put their loot in a jeep, but before they can drive away, they see Lefty appear in the sky. Kai and Opal jump off, and unfold their wingsuit while in freefall. The bandits gun it, but Kai easily overtakes them. He sends an air blast straight to the front of the jeep, which causes it to crash and its occupants to be jettisoned out. As Opal joins him, they tie up the bandits.

Duel between Kuvira and several Earth Kingdom Bandits
Combatants: Kuvira and 20 bandits

Victor: Kuvira

Kuvira's train stops in the middle of nowhere, and the driver approaches her to let her know the track has been blocked and that it is most likely the work of bandits. He also informs her troops are on their way out, but Kuvira tells him to call those troops off as she will take care of this situation herself. She climbs to the roof of the train, as she spots the bandits on top of the hills on either side of the train. They slide down and start shooting rocks at her, but Kuvira deflects them all. She launches several metallic plates at the bandits, covering either their eyes or restraining their legs. When a big rock is launched at her, she shoots two plates into the rock and uses these to break it into two, guiding both halves neatly past her. She restrains the last of the bandits, and bends them all together, effectively ending the fight.
