A/N And so I return! Bwahahahahahaha and all that. Anyway, this is set right after Bitter Work in season 2. It probably won't contain many spoilers, since they're too busy worrying about the Sues to care about the war. It will, however, bring Toph into the fight against the Mary-Sues. One thing this story won't do is include Azula or her friends. They might be mentioned, though.

Okay, so, this is the second in my Mary-Sues of All Kinds sequence. All of these will be relatively short, for me. (Usually I tend to write one-shots or they have over ten chapters, all of these will have under ten). They will all deal with the terrors of fanfiction. Obviously.

Disclaimer: Insert here a disclaimer dissing my claim to Avatar, which does not exist. My claim, that is, not Avatar.

Hope you enjoy it. Give my regards to random people I don't know!

Before, it began with a hat. And the book that was inside the hat. And the Mary-Sue that was inside the book. But it began with a hat.

So now they were on their guard. Any books found in hats were thoroughly examined before being read. But that didn't really matter, because this time, it didn't begin with a hat.

Now, it began with Toph. And the contraption she found. And the Mary-Sue that was inside the contraption. But it began with Toph.

"Hey, guys, look what I found!" exclaimed the Earth Bender, running into camp one day. Her friends all looked closer.

She was holding something in her hand. It was rectangular and black, with a handle coming up off of the top. Toph was holding the handle. Somehow, the object looked like a case, but they had no idea what was inside it.

"What is it?" wondered Aang.

"Guys, we'd better not open it. It might be dangerous," Sokka warned. As usual, they didn't listen to him.

"Oh, yeah right, Sokka," Katara retorted. "Like that fish was dangerous? Or the man with the apple on his head?"

"Hey, he could have been an alien!" defended the warrior.

"Don't worry, Sokka," Aang told him. "We'll be fine. We always are."

As Sokka grumbled about how that didn't mean that they would be this time, and what did Aang mean, they were always fine, Katara put the case on the ground and opened it.

"Aww, it's just a box," moaned Aang, completely forgetting the potential a box has. But it was Toph who realized it was different.

"No," she said, "It's vibrating. It's like it's… alive."

That, Sokka heard.

"Alive?" he demanded. "Alive? We open a random thing that Toph found on the ground, pull out the mysterious rectangular object inside, and you say it's alive?"

"Feels like it," agreed Toph. "It's weird, it's like…" but before Toph could say what it was like, Sokka interrupted. Again."

"Katara, don't open that!" he shouted. Too late.

Katara lifted the lid on the strange box, only to find out that it wasn't a box after all.

The bottom of the lid looked like some kind of screen, while the other part and numerous buttons, each engraved with odd symbols.

"It looks like it's a kind of language…" muttered Aang. Curiously, he pressed the button in the upper-left hand corner, and the thing bleeped.

Everyone screamed and jumped back, only to lean forward as the screen turned white. Katara narrated the happenings to Toph.

"The screen's white. No, wait, now it's got a background. It's… what is that? It looks like an ostrich-horse… Whatever. Now little symbols are appearing on the left side of the screen. There's a little bar on the bottom, with a rectangle with writing on it. Now the rectangle's changing color. And a square is popping up on the screen. There's writing on the square."

That was when Aang leaned forward to get a better look, and accidentally hit a button. The whole thing translated.

"You've got mail," read Katara. Suddenly, the aforementioned mail appeared.

Avatar-

Mary-Sues. Help. Too many. Mouse will guide you to stories that might be salvageable. Be careful. They defeated me, they can get you, too. New weapon. Flames make them stronger. Help. Our fandom needs you, Avatar.

-SueBasher2000

Everyone stared at the screen for a moment.

"What a weird message," Toph commented. Nobody else seemed to think so. In fact, they were discussion something in a strained-yet-calm manner that they usually didn't manage even in the worst situations.

"They're back?" demanded Sokka. "Aw, man, I thought we got rid of them!"

"We didn't, Sokka, you knew that," Aang replied. He paused. "What could they have meant about a 'mouse'?"

"There's probably some kind of mouse around here that will lead us to something that can find the Mary-Sues," Katara mused.

"Great, let's find it and get going," Sokka exclaimed. All three of them instantly began hunting around through the grass. They hunted for several minutes before someone thought to ask Toph if she could sense any mice in the area.

"No," she replied simply. "There are no mice for as far as I can sense."

"How far is that?" asked Aang.

"Far," Toph told him, and left it at that.

Suddenly, the computer beeped again. Turning around, they saw (well, most of them did, anyway) that another message had popped up on the screen.

Hey, guys.

Hehe… forgot to give you the mouse. Sorry about that.

And the drama. Like Katara once said: 'can't a girl be melodramatic once in a while?'

Anywho, the mouse is in the case. I'll pauselong enough for you to find it.

Sokka was already looking in the case. He pulled out a small lump of some odd material that was about the same size as his hand, and had a rope coming out of something that was either the front or the back.

Following SueBasher's directions, they managed to get it plugged into the odd box. Suddenly, a little arrow-type thing appeared, and then changed into a familiar face.

"SueBasher!" they all exclaimed.

"Yep," replied the icon. "I figured out how to change the cursor so that when the laptop was in another world, it showed me. That way I can guide you through the technical stuff."

"Technical stuff?" Sokka asked suspiciously.

"You know, like plugging in the mouse." Everyone stared at her blankly. "What you just did."

Sokka's worries assuaged, SueBasher had a chance to look around the camp.

"Let's see… Hello Aang, nice to see you again. Katara, hope you haven't lost your Sue-knowledge. Sokka, obviously. Pleased to meet you, Toph. Wait a minute. Where are Zuko and Iroh?"

Everyone stared at her blankly for a moment. Then Aang pulled out a small, flame-shaped whistle. They had received it upon their first meeting with the Mary-Sues, after the Fire Benders had parted company with the rest of the group.

"Do we really want them here?" asked Toph, once Katara explained that the whistle could contact Zuko and Iroh. "And how does that voice know my name? And how is it talking when there's nobody here?"

"The voice is on that box you found," Sokka explained. "Her name is SueBasher2000. She's an old friend. I have no idea how she knows your name."

"Watching the show," SueBasher clarified. "It enables me to see what's going on here."

So SueBasher explained to Toph, with many interruptions, about what a TV show was, and how the Earth Bender and her friends were on one. About fanfiction, and who wrote it. And about the Mary-Sues, and how the race of powerful, evil people were attempting to take over the world that Toph knew as real.

"Most Mary-Sues are honest mistakes," SueBasher told them. "We all write one at some point. Even I did, although I never posted it, so it couldn't have possibly entered this world. And I deleted it, too, keeping only one chapter as a reminder never to try that again.

"But some of the Sues are there on purpose, with one intent. You see, if a Sue grows too strong, powered by other Sues and unopposed by sensible people, terrible things can happen. They can enter the Avatar world, the world you know as real. They can spread their plague, and one day, the Sue who has entered your world may even come to control events."

"How is that possible?" demanded Toph.

SueBasher shook her head, a difficult feat for someone who was only a head. "I don't know. Only a Suethor could ever tell you."

"Suethor?"

"An abbreviation for 'Mary-Sue Author'. The puppeteer. The man (or woman) behind the curtains. The one who controls the Sues actions, and the one who will try to take your world."

"How can they be destroyed?" Toph asked.

"They can't. Destroying the Suethor isn't the way to defeat this plague, it only makes it worse. Kill one, and another takes it's place. And, destroying a Suethor will turn you into a flamer, which means you can't help anymore."

Toph considered this for a moment. "Who can help?" she asked. "They seem pretty powerful to me."

"They are," agreed SueBasher. "But there are people who fight them. You see them, all over the fanfiction site, writing anti-Sue stories, leaving reviews for Suethors, trying to steer them back to the right path. They are called The Order of the Reviewers.

"Of course, that's a bit of a misnomer. Not all of them review, and not all reviewers are in the Order. Some are flamers, some only give good reviews, some are just ordinary people. Nobody could think of a better name for them."

"Let me guess," the Earth Bender replied. "The Order of the Reviewers only exists on your fanfiction thingy, and none of them are in this world, so you assume we're completely helpless and have come to aid us in our plight." The sarcasm didn't drip off of her words. It was more like a waterfall.

"Actually, no," SueBasher snapped, restraining sarcasm of her own. "There are six people belonging to the Order of the Reviewers in your world. They organize a very efficient team against the Sues. Katara, Sokka, Aang, Zuko, Iroh, and Momo!"

Toph looked confused. "You said something to Katara about Sue-knowledge, so I guess that makes sense. Aang's the Avatar, of course he'd be involved in something like this. And Momo's just awesome. But, Fire Benders? Sokka? You people are really desperate."

"Yes, we are," snapped SueBasher. "Wouldn't you be?"

"Wait…" Aang interrupted before they could start fighting. "Toph, since when do you say 'awesome'?"

Toph paused. "Err…"

"Is it the Sue?" asked Katara.

SueBasher tilted her head in a manner that suggested shrugging, which was difficult to do, as she had no shoulders. "How should I know? I assume, what else would it be?"

"Is what the Sue?" demanded Toph.

"The Sue is making you OOC," SueBasher explained. "We think."

"O-kay…" muttered Toph, "and how about explaining what OOC means?"

"Okay. OOC stands for Out Of Character. It means that the Sue is already contaminating this world and is making you act differently than you usually do."

Toph paled. "Can she do that?"

In response, SueBasher moved around, hitting different pictures and words until writing appeared on the screen.

"This is a Sue's story," SueBasher explained. "Most of it, anyway. This chapter is about the Sue becoming friends with you. As we say in my world 'read it and weep'."

"Uhh… I can't read," Toph pointed out.

"Sokka?" asked SueBasher.

"Yeah?"

"Would you mind reading this chapter aloud to Toph?"

"Yeah."

SueBasher glared at him for a moment. "Sokka!" she shouted. "Now!"

"No," retorted Sokka, walking away to join Aang, who was Air Bending into the whistle.

"I'll read it," Katara offered before another argument could ensue.

A/N OMG! I think this is, like the best capter evah! It's so gr8! We, like, totally see anoter side of Toff and all that! But I want ur onest opinion about it. Do u like it? But no flames. There lame!

Toff sat down nex to Celeste. "May I join you?" she asked quietly, coming upp beehind her. "Of course," said Celeste, patting the gournd nex 2 her, because she new that Toff would sense the viberasions and sit down. Toff did. "Wat is rong, Toffee?" Celeste asked, using a niknam she had com up wit 4 Toff.

"Toffee?" demanded Toph in a strangled voice. She looked like she was about to vomit. Katara read on.

"I m upset," Toff said. "I no I just met u, but I ned advice, and I don't no any1 else 2 turn 2." "U can talk 2 me," Celeste promised.

"I just met her and I'm asking advice?" snarled Toph. "This is not me!"

"Actually, it isn't," SueBasher said. "This is a Sue who was created by mistake. There is no universe where things happen that way. The truly evil Sues are much worse."

Katara continued to read, feeling slightly sorry for Toph, but knowing that the younger girl had to learn these things someday.

"I no," said Toff. "Celeste, I m in lov." Celeste new hoo Toff was taking abut b4 Toff said. "It is Ang, isnt it?" she sed. "Yes," repled Toff. "How did u no?"

"WHAT!" screamed Toph angrily. Bet you didn't guess that she said that very loudly and furiously. Anyway, she began pacing back and forth muttering to herself and occasionally throwing in a shout or to.

"I am not in love with Aang. STUPID SUE! And even if I was, I wouldn't tell some IDIOT who I barely even knew that I was! I DON'T ASK RANDOM PEOPLE FOR ADVICE ON MY LOVE LIFE! WHICH DOESN'T EVEN EXIST! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!"

With that angry interlude, Toph stormed off into the woods to sulk.

"That went well," commented SueBasher.

No, I have nothing against the Taang pairing. I was originally a Kataang shipper, but the addition of Toph and some very well-written Zutara stories have put me on the sidelines of the shipping wars. I just can't decide. But I don't think that Toph would tell random strangers off the street that she was in love with Aang. Which I see far too often.

Anyway, hope you liked it. Yes, SueBasher is an original character, so I am trying very, very hard to make her an un-Sue. Believe me, as the chapters and eventually the stories go on, she will make many, many mistakes, do lots of stupid things, and not have any characters fall in love with her!

Ha! The site wouldn't let me upload any documents, but I figured out how! I exported a document, deleted it, and replaced it with a copy-paste version of this chapter! I'm so proud of myself!

If this doesn't work, please tell me. That would mean you can't see this document, this ending is posted over the last chapter of the previous story, or that chapter is part of this one. Or something else bad has happened.
