Disclaimer: I do not own the Avatar, but if I did, it would be The Avatar: and the sexy Zuko, or no wait The Zuko Show. But I need Iroh, so I think the adventures of Zuko and Iroh. What was I getting at? Oh yeah, I don't own the Avatar.
(Takes place sometime in the first season)
Aang was running from the Prince. He had to find Katara and Sokka to get out of the village.
"I have you now Avatar!" Prince Zuko cried, with a smile forming on his lips and he shot two powerful fire balls at the Avatar. Aang was able to block the first fire ball with his air bending, but the second one was too much. He fell back, and before he knew it, Zuko was on top of him.
Little did they know, Zhao and his men were already there, setting fires in people's houses setting the whole city aflame. They were too in depth of their fight to hear the people's screams when Zuko heard this particular sound.
It was a baby crying. Zuko tried to shake it out of his head, but it wouldn't go away. Zuko saw Aang's mouth open wide and looked in that direction. One of Zhao's men had set fire to a couple's house, and Zuko could hear the baby's cry coming from inside. The baby cry was a scared one. It pierced through Zuko, and he could understand it. The baby is mad, scared, and did not want to die. It wanted its mother. The couple that he took it, were the baby's parents and were crying, begging for someone to save their baby. The couple the father had a broken leg, and the mother wasn't looking too good either. Zuko felt sympathy for this family. They meant no harm, and yet they were being attacked.
"Who is that? And why are they burning these people's houses down" Aang asked, forgetting that he was just about to get caught.
"It's Zhao and his men," Zuko replied bitterly. "But I don't know why these pigs are doing this, and it must be stopped" Aang nodded in agreement, surprised.
And Zuko took off for the house with the baby crying, louder each second.
