Korra was really getting sick of pulling weeds from the gardens. She had long since connected with the more pacific and spiritual side of her Avatar hood, but this was beginning to be to much.
She yanked another weed from the dirt. She had to get away from this! She needed to get into a fight. She wanted to unleash some of her raw power. She put her filthy gloves down and flew off into a random direction. Who knows, maybe she would find a village where a Namekian would be down for a good scrap on this fine afternoon.

It was another boring day on Namek for the Zaunite. Another day of training was on the horizon, or so he thought. Kizu, Guru's guardian, pulled Hobbet aside during his daily warm-ups and told him that there was another student not far from them that would be a decent challenge. He also informed him that he could learn a lot.
Since that sounded appetizing, Hobbet flew off into the sky and mid-flight he spotted the student and cut her off suddenly by teleporting quickly and appearing in front of her to impede her path.
"Another girl huh? They say the pheromones of the wild attract even wilder ones," Hobbet commented. His quote at a glance probably wouldn't mean much to her, but he simply commented that all of his past sparring partners had been female so maybe it was that time of the year again. It was mostly said in jest.
"You're another one of the half-dead Namek's students right? Kizu sent me to train with you. Are you in or are you out?" Hobbet asked.

Korra was flying around when suddenly a strange big appeared in front of her. She couldn't quite make out what race or even age this boy was. She wasn't even sure he was a boy.
He started speaking to her but Korra couldn't understand what he was saying, something about wild ones. She was about to ask what the heck he was talking about, but then he told her he was a friend of Kizu and he was asking her if she was down for a fight.
Korra thought it was her lucky day! She was ready for this!
"I'd love to fight!" She said as she 'dropped' into a fighting stance right there in the middle of the sky...

Although Hobbet loved the girl's enthusiasm, he put his hand up when she dropped into a fighting stance. "I'm a ground fighter. You never take a gulleyfish out of water and expect it to climb a tree, eh?" He said and nodded his head sagely as if it would be a euphemism she would understand.
Once he spotted a clear meadow he flew down towards it and signaled for the woman to follow him as well.
"The name's Hobbet," He pounded both of his knuckles together. "What's yours?"

Korra rather enjoyed the fact she was largely unknown to people here. She followed Hobbet down to the ground while yelling, "My name is Korra!"
Once she was on the ground she didn't wait for an invitation to attack. She immediately fired off to fist of fire towards her opponent. (energy wave x2).
She knew she had to be light on her feet, so she started to move to the side in anticipation for Hobbet to dodge the attack and counter. It felt good to let lose her raw unhindered power once again. It had been far too long since the she last had a spar in the real world.

Korra introduced herself and immediately attacked, firing off fire towards him. Hobbet smirked and he dodged both of the attacks while charging Ki into his right fist until it began to glow with a faint golden aura. He slammed it onto the ground and it caused the soil to nearly split apart beneath her feet. This was merely a distraction however as he instantly disappeared from sight moving as fast as he could until he appeared directly to her side and attempted to ram his foot into her side to attempt to throw her off balance and send her to the ground.

Korra wasn't surprised he dodged her attacked. It was a fairly easy dodge, but it did set the pace she wanted for the battle. She was a rare Avatar who did not favor her natural element of water, but it's opposite; fire.
The ground split apart before her. She was used to seeing abilities like this from earth-benders. She dodge the attack, but the second it took her to look down to find her footing gave her opponent the edge he needed apparently.
Her opponent was gone! Just as she landed on the ground a blow struck her from the side, sending her to the ground. She rolled once on the ground and bent the air around her back onto her feet. She was capable of similar techniques, but she didn't want to reveal that just yet. She decided to run towards him throwing two punches at his face. A third "punch" came towards him, but it was really a beam coming towards him to freeze him to the bone! (freezer beam)

She took the hit well which caused Hobbet to smirk. He didn't particularly mind hitting a woman cause he'd never pull his punches anyways, but he lately had a few run ins with some tough ones that could kick his ass.
Korra rolled on the ground and gracefully got back onto her feet. When she rushed at him Hobbet fell back into his stance and swatted away her first two punches with the palm of his hand. However, the third strike was actually a beam of frost that would have turned him into a snowman if he hadn't ignited his aura around himself and flew to the side to avoid the brunt of the attack. He shivered a bit as he grimaced at her.
"Nice trick," He was clearly ticked off but he complimented her still. "That's enough for now, I hate the cold." Hobbet scoffed as he fell out of his stance and stretched. Really he wasn't one to give up so soon per say, but he wasn't in the mood for a battle for once. Although the skills that the woman displayed intrigued him, it wasn't enough to motivate him beyond that. The Zaunite was in a rare compliant mood so to speak, so he opted to instead talk.
"You're a tough one, and not too hard on the eyes. Where are you from?" He asked her. She seemed like a very capable fighter and although she came off as a bit of a tomboy, Hobbet himself always had a thing for women who could fight.

"The name is Korra. I've been traveling all over the galaxy learning from various masters. That little trick I picked up from master Adel!"
She wasn't sure why she was telling him all this; random fighters probably didn't care about her training.
"If you wanna fight more or train, you can come to Master Guru's house. It's not far from here."
With that, she jumped into the air and flew away, heading towards Guru's. She was normally more talkative but this guy seemed preoccupied. She had a feeling they would meet again though, and that he would be much stronger when they did.
