Bumi vs. Toph, Round One

Bumi vs. Toph is a comic released by Nickelodeon Magazine.

Overview
Bumi and Toph have an Earthbending Rumble to decide who is the "Greatest Earthbender of all time" while they are waiting for Sozin's Comet.

Synopsis
Bumi and Suki are discussing the former's single-handed reconquer of Omashu. Suki is astounded by this great feat, declaring that Bumi must be the "Greatest Earthbender of all time". Toph, who is passing by, remarks,"I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear you talking. Did you say this old guy is the best Earthbender ever?" Bumi confirms. Toph lets out a stream of laughter, showing that she finds this hard to believe.

Bumi and Toph exchange insults, each getting more and more heated. The two finally decide to show each other who is a better bender by initiating an Earthbending Rumble.

Sokka serves as referee for the two. He announces each of them and hits the gong, beginning the match. The two begin to fight, and Sokka cheers them both on. Suki implores who he is rooting for, but Sokka merely states that, as the referee, he must stay impartial. As the rumble rages on, Katara runs toward the fray. She yells at Sokka, telling him that they must battle the Fire Nation in a few hours time and he is risking the two getting hurt.

Toph and Bumi reassure Katara, saying they only want to test each other. The two are fighting fiercely now, and cracks appear near the camp of the Order of the White Lotus. Jeong Jeong loses balance and drops his tea. Piandao's painting is destroyed. Pakku and Iroh's game of Pai Sho is interrupted and Iroh takes this opportunity to say he has won the game.

The members left in the camp congregate in the center of it, wondering if they have been attacked. Zuko says he will find them, and hopes it is not too late. However, as he is running down the canyon side, he sees the battle and, like Katara, questions what is going on. Sokka informs him about the battle, and Zuko says,"You've got to be kidding me." while Iroh simply decides to egg Bumi on. Pakku and Jeong Jeong both agree, saying the battle is not such a good idea because it can give away their location.

Sokka agrees and rings the gong again, saying the match is over. However, he soon finds out that the two cannot hear the bell and are not stopping. Pakku states that they'll have to stop it "bender style". Sokka is excited and exclaims that the battle is getting good, while Suki merely stares at him disapprovingly. While Zuko stops Toph; Iroh, Pakku, Katara, Jeong Jeong, and Piandao stop Bumi. Suki questions who won, while Sokka, as referee concludes it was a draw.

Meanwhile, Zuko is telling the two that they need to act their age, while Bumi merely sticks his tongue out at Toph, who is rolling up her sleeves with a smile on her face. Sokka says that there will have to be a rematch, and Toph says,"Sweet!" while Bumi snorts happily.
