Wow, short chapter! But in a way, it's a prologue kinda thing, so it doesn't need to be long.
VROOM! VROOM!
The TARDIS materialised out of nowhere, into the coldness of the South Pole. The Doctor opened the door a crack and peeped out, running towards them was a group of warriors, he raised the walkie-talkie and spoke into it, "Stay there, I'll be back soon."
He stepped out and stood in the cold, waiting for the arrest or accusation, the warriors walked up to them, from there the Doctor could get a good look at them.
They wore deep blue material with a circle in the middle, one part slightly lighter so you could make out a moon. Each of them had a helmet, with a snout, that opened up underneath so they could see, just above their forehead and blue strands of material at the crown of their heads, all of them carried pointed spears.
"State your name and business," the leader said, "or suffer the consequences…"
"I'll tell you my name if you agree to put those weapons down, sound like a fair deal?" The leader pushed the tip of his spear onto the Doctor's chest, "Obviously not, could you tell me exactly where we are?"
"The South Pole, your name?"
"Ah, yes, I'm the Doctor, nice to meet you," he held out his hand.
"You're obviously not Fire Nation… Come with me, he led them onto the horizon; from there they could see a small village and headed straight for it.
"Wait outside," Hakoda said, and walked into the tent, a few seconds later he popped his head out, "You may enter." He said, pointing at the Doctor. He did as he was told and walked in.
Inside there wasn't much, a few candles and cushions, that was all. On one of the cushions sat a nother young adult boy, with tattoos all over his body, the greeting was not what the Doctor had expected, "You're not from here," he said, "You come from… another planet, galaxy even, no, wait… I can see your aura clearer, you, you lived here before, I sense your spirit in the air around me, you have been recognised by the people in the spirit world,"
He opened his eyes, they glowed blue then died down, revealing pure grey eyes looking brightly at him, "Nice to meet you, I'm Aang."
"I'm the Doctor, how did you know all that stuff…?"
"I can sense it; I'm the current Avatar, and the last airbender."
"Last? I uh… never mind, please, tell me, what troubles you at the moment, I can tell something is wrong."
Aang sighed, "It's my girlfriend."
"What is her name? Tell me her story."
The Avatar hesitated slightly, like he was waiting for comfirmation from a spirit, then continued, "She's called Katara, she's the only Waterbender left in the South Pole as her mother died for her in a Fire Nation raid years ago, ever since she had to grow up and be the adult in the family until Sokka grew up himself."
"What about her father?"
"He's the chief of the southern water tribe, Hakoda, who was just outside."
"So I assume he's away regularly."
"Exactly."
"So why are you so worried about her?" The Doctor asked.
Aang sighed hopelessly, and his stormy grey eyes looked into the doctor's with a tear in them, "She's missing."
I feel so sorry for Aang, having to put him through this torture of not being able to see Katara after the war. PLEASE NOTE- AFTER THE WAR. However, some of you may be saying, why has she been taken then? Is it post war revenge? Actually, no. There's a whole NEW war happening, I shall explain why in future chapters, as I am still working all of it out myself :D
