Aang ran, breathing deeply. The injury in his side was bleeding uncontrollably. 'It can't end like this. I defeated Ozai! Surely I can beat someone who isn't a bender of anything!'
"Aang!" Katara yelled to him, flying on Appa. "Aang, there's no way to defeat him now! We need to leave!"
"But-"
"No arguing! Get here now!" Aang jumped over and landed on Appa's back. Sokka and Toph were there, Momo clinging onto Sokka's head. "We have to find some other way to defeat him."
"I know!" Aang yelled. "Gaah!" He fell, clutching his side.
"Aang!" His friends yelled in unison, but he had already passed out.
"Aang. Aang, wake up." Aang opened his eyes to the familiar voice.
"Master Roku!" Aang said, jumping up.
"Aang, there is no way you can defeat this man in your state." Roku said gently. "He has crossed over from another dimension. Turn back, go through the portal, and he will follow. Do not look him in the eyes."
"Ok, so we go through the portal, he follows, we come back-"
"No. He can make more. You must stay there to enlist the help of his past comrades. The easiest way to remember who they are is to look for the boy with yellow hair and lines on his cheeks, a pink-haired girl with green eyes, and a man with silvery-white hair."
"Right! Thank you, Roku."
"Aang!" Aang looked up and met Katara's blue eyes.
"Turn around."
"What!"
"Turn around, trust me."
Everyone looked at him. Appa turned and flew faster, passing the boy with red eyes. Aang was shouting instructions, being the leader despite his fatal injury.
"Don't look him in the eyes. I don't know why, just listen." He spotted a strange vortex to the right. "Appa! Through there!" He pointed and Appa moved. Sokka looked back. The boy was gaining.
"Umm, could we go faster? He's catching up!" Appa sped through the portal. Everyone on his back felt a strange wave as they went through it. Once all the way through, Appa flew as fast as he could to get out of there. He fell as everyone passed out.
The yellow haired boy jumped through the trees, preferring the fast way to the road. His pink haired friend followed, calling his name. Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound. He moved toward it, kunai drawn. The others doing the same.
They were in a clearing with a big, white beast on the other side. They moved toward it cautiously. Suddenly, it moved, revealing the four people who were with it.
"They look injured, Sakura. Check them out." Naruto said. Sakura sighed and moved towards them, stopping at each one to check their condition. The fist three were fine, only a few cuts and bruises, no internal damage. She left them as they were, moving to heal the last, fatally-wounded one. She gasped.
"Naruto, Kakshi-sensei, come here." They moved closer, sensing a chakra all too familiar.
"Sasuke..." Naruto breathed
"This injury reeks of his chakra signature." Sakura said, healing up the most of his injury. "Let's get these guys to the Hokage. She'll know what to do."
