"Okay, pick up your chains." instructed Galen.
His light grey uniform, same as the men before him with the addition of a few steel plates on the shoulders and forearms, flashed lightly in the sunlight.
The number of metalbenders in the police force was growing quite a bit it seemed lately.
Hopefully it also meant that the new recruits were proficient in their mental faculties as well.
The five young men before him rose to a fighting stance, bending the chains through the air like steel serpents, producing a light ringing in the process.
"Good. Now, split your chains." said Galen. They'd done this before, so it was doubtful that any flaws would be possible at this point.
In the blink of an eye, a chain link snapped on its own accord, whizzing past Galen's ear and flying off past the medium-height wall.
Galen's hair stood on end as he imagined where it might head off to.
"Dammit! Ok... who did that?" he asked.
One of the men, unsuprising the least capable of the bunch, raised his hand.
"You know where that link is headed off to at high speed?" Galen asked.
"That's going towards the main gate." he added.
Hopefully it wouldn't hurt anyone too badly.
