Alexander's number to fight was 3. So the first two went on stage, who were called the Boulder and the Big Bad Hippo.
Hippo was knocked out of the platform. Then the announcer started to call him "And now the next fighter is a new one. But don't be disappointed, he looks pretty old and most likely has years of practice in his martial arts.
"The name of the next fighter is... SENIOR CITIZEN!"
Alexander facepalmed himself on the side. he had told them to call him, Senior Alex.
In the stands, Ragnarok and others were having a big laugh out of this.
Alexander then walked to the center stage. Boulder looked at him with a smirk, "Old Foggie, you should have stayed home. Now, who will pay for your injuries?"
"*Sigh* Youth, more talking and less work. Your name is Boulder so you need to be removed like one." Alexander said and just patted his staff's end on the ground.
The next moment a block of pillars started rising from below Boulder. The pillar went for a few tens of feet. "Don't try. You cannot control that stone. Your only way out is to jump or surrender."
Seeing that Boulder wasn't surrendering, Alexander just broke the stone tower and it fell like a tree. When it touched the ground, the top where Boulder stood was already out of the stage.
After that many more fighters came and got defeated by him easily. Then in the end, to his surprise, a little girl came to fight in a dramatic entrance. He instantly realized that she was blind.
"Hello there, child," Alexander greeted.
"Hah, get ready to lose, Beardy Man," Toph taunted him confidently.
"Haha, then attack," Alexander laughed, but also wondered how she saw he had a long beard.
The next moment Toph started throwing rocks and trying to push the grounds under his feet to throw him off the stage. Alexander, meanwhile, was just checking how she was able to judge where to attack.
When he doubted she was sensing the vibrations on the ground, he flew an inch from the ground. As he expected, the girls were confused and looked to her left and right.
Alexander then threw two rocks to his opposite side. Toph thought it was him and attacked but unknown to her, Alexander had come within hand's reach to her.
He lightly patted her shoulder, "I can fly, child. That is why you can't sense me."
Toph was surprised by the sudden breach of personal space. She quickly attacked him. Alexander couldn't bring himself to really hurt her and defeat her. Their power level was so out of comparison.
"You win little one, I quit." He said and walked out of the arena. When he reached the stands, Ragnarok was glaring daggers at him.
"How did the most powerful being in the world lose to a little girl?" Ragnarok angrily asked.
"No, Raggy, she is just a little girl. Using my powers to bully her would be bad." Alexander argued.
"Whatever, I lost so much money today. You will have to pay it back, I'm telling you." Ragnarok said.
"All right, all right, you and your gold fetish. Where are Aang and others and why is Sokka crying?" He asked.
"Oh, that poor boy put all his money on you too. Aang and Katara went to find the girl you just fought with. They think that she is the girl Aang saw in his vision." Ragnarok answered.
"Then let's follow them too. Oh, you're here too, Amy?" Alexander noticed Amy coming to him.
"Grandpa, I want you to heal someone. She is blind and very nice." Amy requested.
"Haha, I think I already know who you are talking about. Let's go."
Alexander looked for Aang and they eventually ended up outside a big compound.
"Ah, I was here a while ago, Grandpa, let's go in," Amy spoke.
They jumped the fence and reached a small garden. Aang and the blind girl were there in a stalemate.
"Toph, they are friends," Amy quickly jumped to her side.
"Amy? And why did you bring this old man here?" Toph asked.
"Remember I told you about my grandpa, he is the one. And Aang is the Avatar. He wants to learn Earth Bending from you." Amy explained everything.
"But Amy, my parents won't let me out of here. They don't know that I am such a good earthbender." Toph said.
"Well, let's think about that later. Don't you want your eyes back now?" Amy asked.
Toph faced Amy with hope, "Really? Can you..."
"Haha, of course, child. I can heal your eyes as easily as lifting my hand." Alexander affirmed.
"How long will it take?" Toph asked.
Amy walked closer to her and put her hand on her shoulder in assurance, "Don't worry Toph. It just takes a few minutes."
Alexander checked her eyes to find the problem. It was a birth defect. So he made the same potion he made for little Amy back then.
"Here, drink this" he handed her a glass.
"Go ahead Toph, drink it." Amy encouraged her.
Toph took a long breath and drank it in one go, "Woah, I thought medicines were supposed to be bitter. This is so tasty."
"Hahaha, my medicines are never bitter. Now, keep your eyes closed and open them after a few minutes." He instructed her.
After five minutes passed, Alexander told her to open it. "Try to slowly open your eyes. You may feel a bit of irritation in them but don't worry, they will be adapting to the light."
Toph slowly opened her eyes. Then blinked them in close succession. The first thing she saw was the bald head of Aang. "Why is there an arrow on your head?"
Aang scratched his head, "These are tattoos all air benders get when they successfully learn air bending.... wait... you can see!"
Toph hadn't realized it till now. "I-I CAN SEE!"
She looked around at the various flowers, trees, and fishes in the pond. All these colors were new to her. The sensation was overwhelming that she teared up.
"This is so much better than just sensing the surrounding. The world is so beautiful." She exclaimed.
Amy cheered and hugged her, "See, I told you my grandpa can heal you."
"Yes, the world is beautiful, but you will have to learn the names of colors and other things like that. Now, what about teaching Aang earthbending?" Alexander asked.
Toph for the first time turned around and looked at Alexander. "Oh, you don't look that old,"
"Hahaha, I guess my wife's recommended facewash is doing wonders." He laughed.
Aang quickly went close to her and told who Alexander was and that he was thousands of years old.
"No wonder you could treat my blindness. You must be very strong. Okay, I will teach Aang but I don't know how to get my family to agree." She doubtfully said.
"Leave that to me, child. You just have fun." He said and went towards her house.
Toph then pointed at Sokka. "Oh, he looks exactly what I imagined a pervert to look like,"
"Hey, that is so rude, I am handsome and ladies are crazy over me." Sokka refuted.
"Whatever, Mister weird hairstyle, Amy, let's go out. I want to see the whole town." She grabbed Amy and dragged her along.
"Hey, don't ignore me. I am handsome." Sokka ran behind them.
...
Alexander changed his attire to a more regal and the Earth Kingdom themed. He took out a family seal that he had received from the first king of Earth kingdom. It was a golden cloud and represented him as a close friend of the royal family in the Earth Kingdom.
He went to the Beifong family officially. Just showing them his seal made all of them fully serious in welcoming him.
"What can we do for you, Lord Universe?" Lao Beifong, the father of Toph asked.
"I have seen a great talent of earth bending in your daughter. I want her to come with me to Ba Sing Se and teach her earthbending so one day she could become a general of the Earth Kingdom." Alexander said, making the two parents shocked because the last they knew their daughter was blind.
"I think you have mistaken our daughter for someone else, Lord Universe." Lao Beifong said.
"No, I am absolutely correct. Why don't you ask her to come and question her yourself? She will tell you how great she is." Alexander advised.
