The Last Of The Airbenders
Five years have past since Phoenix King Ozai was defeated and peace now reins but 100
Years of darkness and fire can not be easily forgotten. a choice will have to be made and in the end a life will be taken.
Two fishermen were having a couple drinks after a hard day's work these men would never
return home they had done nothing wrong just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One yawned "hey kaiza pass me some sake" the other laughed "get it yourself you sloth" they
both looked at each other and then broke out laughing. Just then a small rock slide happened
"aaah what the hell" "lets get out of here" and in a humorous scene they started paddling as
fast as the could. It was then that their lives would be sealed as a body fell into the water
"whoa wait Maika someone's in the water" diving into the water Kaiza grabbed he body and
pulled him into the boat. They examined him quickly "damn he must be about fifteen years
old" they started trying to revive him "hey wait he's coming round" after a couple of coughs
the boy opened his eyes "errr…. What …. Year….is it? "The two men were in a state of
shock "you just came out of that rock and that's all you want to know?" then the boy grabbed
his hand and squeezed "I'll ask you again WHAT YEAR IS IT?" "err its year one" the boy
squeezed harder "ARE YOU MOCKING ME" "No...No...No it's just that after the defeat of
the fire nation and peace, the four nations agreed to begin anew and start from year one" the
boy gave a look of shock "the fire nation was defeated????" the two men looked at each other
"yeah the fire lord was defeated by the Avatar" the boy let go "tell me what is the Avatar's
main element attribute?" the men answered easily "its wind duh he's the last airbender" the
boy started chuckling and then broke out into a fierce laughter "ha ha ha ha ha ha is that so
well in that case let me show you something" they looked confused and then a powerful gust
of wind broke out "aaaaaaah what is this, where is it coming from, him the boy he's a
airbender" the boy let out an evil grin "tell me what is the Avatar's name?" the two men
realized their predicament "err his name is Aang now please don't kill us" the boy smiled
again "oh dear when did we agree to that" the scream that came out of the men mouths was
heard a mile away but was cut short as the men suffocated to death due to the vortex created
by the airbender. The boy took the boat to shore and after asking for directions from local
townsmen headed for the fire palace with a smile on his face "I'm coming to get you Aang I
hope you prepare a good reception for me but unfortunately for you their can only be one
Airbender
Aang took a huge yawn "damn I'm bored theirs nothing to do" Zuko was searching for his
mother Katara was visiting her grandmother and Toph was reconnecting with her parents and
Soka was with Suki on their honeymoon. On top of that Aang was being sent from country to
country giving greetings and blessings to each city and village. Mo Mo came flying in and
dropped and piece of Parchment on his lap "hey thanks buddy" opening it he read
Dear Aang
My step grandfather is teaching me a couple waterbending tricks
I look forward to see you soon I should be back in a couple hours
Katara
"Yes Katara's coming back soon" he began a silly dance which he would never live down as
ten men and women came in a interrupted him "errr forgive our errr interruption Lord Avatar
but we have urgent news a whole village has been wiped out" "whaaaat how" the leader
replied "we aren't quite sure how this happened but all we know is that the whole village died
of suffocation and not only that but the buildings had destroyed it was if a typhoon hit it"
Aang put on a robe and jumped down "alright lets go" "yes sir" they all left for the village.
Zuko had been searching ever since his father had given him the piece of information that his
mother was still alive. He was also thinking about asking Mai to marry him but he would
rather his mother be there to see it happen. He was fairly confident that he was closing in on
her he was directed to a village in the earth kingdom where he seemed to just miss here and
the same was for every village he was directed to. He'd left his Uncle in charge of the fire
nation while he searched for his mother it wasn't difficult to get Iroh to cover for him all he
had to do was give him some tea and a moderately good looking girl to serve it and he was as
easy as taming a Mamothica.
On his robe Zuko kept a picture of his mother for two reasons number one because it helped
people to have a picture when inquiring about her and number two because it gave him the
determination not to give up he didn't give up with the Avatar and he damn sure wasn't going
to give up with his mother. Finally some luck the picture he had was twenty years old but an
old beggar said she had seen someone similar to that person heading to the village of the
fallen mist. He was getting closer he could feel it.
Toph was on her way back to the fire nation to meet up with Aang she had successfully
reconnected with her parents and they promised to be more considerate in the future. However
there was another reason she was returning to Aang being connected to the earth had it's
advantages but she could sense that the earth was trembling as if it was scared it didn't take a
genius to realize that something bad was going to happen she could only hope that she got to
him in time.
Katara had just reached the Fire nation palace being engaged to the Avatar had its perks such
as the servants would quite literally carry her to and from her destinations as well as attending
to her every whim she had to beg them to let her travel to the north pole alone and when this
attempt failed she snuck out at night. It was weird when she arrived sure the servants carried
her to her room and prepared a delicious lunch she could see that everyone was preoccupied
with something when she inquired about Aang all she got was that he was forced to visit a
city but could see something was wrong. After washing herself down and taking a nap she
woke up three hours later and felt hungry she opened the door and uttered a small "oh"…….
When Aang arrived at the village he could not believe the devastation the whole town was
wiped out they were still looking for survivors. The main thought that came into his head was
"what on earth could have done this? This village was miles away from water and barely had
any history of a strong gust of wind let alone a typhoon so what could have done this. Just
then Aang's heart rate sky rocketed as a hand grabbed his leg putting him halfway in avatar
state. A voice from under the rocks called weakly "h…he..help …me" Aang earthbended the
rubble revealing a small man in his late fifties "what happened?" the man looked up "my lord
Avatar…. It was horrible….. a boy not three years younger than yourself came and decimated
the village he ….. created a vortex the people trapped suffocated….my wife…. My lord he
was heading towards the palace looking for ….you.." the mans body went limp as he died.
Aang laid him down a said a small prayer he learnt in the Air temple but then realized Katara
would be back by now this person was looking for him she was in danger. Aang grabbed his
staff and airbended himself as fast as he could he just hoped he wasn't too late.
Katara uttered a small oh as she bumped into a figure just a couple years younger than herself
"can I help you?" the boy looked up "yes I'm looking for someone can you help me find
him?" Katara smiled "yes but who is it" the boy let out a tiny grin out of the corner of his
mouth "I believe he goes by the name of Avatar Aang" Katara smirked she should have
known " oh he's not here yet but please come in I'll make some tea and we'll wait for him
together" the boy smiled "thank you that would be most kind and I gracefully accept miss
errr" "oh the name's Katara I'm Aang's wife" just then the boys eyes widened "really?"
"Yes" Katara replied "but please come in" she allowed the boy to walk in if only she knew
she would probably have drowned him on the spot a pity really. Then suddenly the boy started
screaming in pain clutching his head and then fainted on the floor. No one knew what caused
him to faint except the Airbender. He was shown visions of his past……
What are you doing?
Whose there?
Don't get too comfortable remember your purpose remember why we revived you
I haven't forgotten……masters you will get your vengeance …..through me
Yesssss remember it was us that gave you your name…. kataki (Japanese for vengeance)
It's time………………………………………………….
Wake up………..wake up………..wake up the boy stirred for a bit and then opened his eyes
"Oh you're awake" said a Katara "I had to heal your body was greatly injured but I managed
to heal most of it" "I'm sorry Katara I thank you but now you must die" Kataki started
airbending wind into a disc completely catching katara by surprise "you're a" but she couldn't
finish her sentence as Kataki was smashed into wall by a rectangle boulder. Katara was
completely caught of guard "toph what are you" once again she could not finish her sentence
as the boulder was sliced in half and out walked Kataki who exclaimed a small "ow" and then
attacked. Toph shouted to Katara "be careful he's strong". At first Kataki created a ball to
levitate on similar to Aang but then went a blinding speed and smashed the ball of air straight
into Toph sending her flying into the wall. Kataki then faced Katara and they prepared to fight
"wait why are you doing this your one of the last airbenders left on this earth you can bring
back the air nation" Kataki laughed "I don't think Aang needs my help with that" Katara
blushed and unfortunately created an opening which Kataki took, creating a huge gust of wind
he smashed Katara into the wall and then grabbed at her neck and squeezed hard. Katara was
finding it hard to breathe as he squeezed tighter and tighter until a hand was gripped on
Kataki's shoulder and flung all the way to the end of the room. Kataki easily flipped back up
and spoke "well well will the intrusions never end and you would be" the two figures spoke "I
am Sokka knight of the southern water tribe" the other also announced herself "and I am Suki
newlywed and kyoshi warrior" then Kataki laughed "nice speech but all I heard was some
dork with a stick on his back and a moderately good looking girl" at this they both screamed
MODERATLY!!!!!!" and sokka also said "it's a boomerang not a stick"
"Katara!!!" shouted someone the group was so happy to see Aang. Aang didn't waste any
time and airbended Kataki straight through the window and while falling began punching him
repeatedly in the face. Kataki quickly airbended so that a great amount of wind circled his
hand and he used it to strike at Aang. His hand now as deadly as a knife penetrated Aang's
shoulder causing immense pain. They both hit the ground hard; they were both tired, Aang
from rushing over here and Kataki from fighting Aang's companions. They were breathing
heavily but Katara, Toph, Sokka and Suki came at Aang's side Aang spoke "WHY!!!?…we
were taught at the temple that every life was precious" then Kataki started laughing but tears
also fell from his eyes "yeah your life, while you ran away during the fire nation raid who
were LOOKING FOR YOU!!!! Some of us tried to save people tried to fight back
………..my mother …….father……my…..I had twin younger brothers…….I was engaged
and ………BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THAT HAS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!." Tears were
really coming down now but then he started to laugh and wiped his eyes "ha ha ha ha well one
airbender one waterbender and one earthbender I think it's safe to assume that there is a
firebender?" "yes there is" replied Aang bluntly "well it's only fair that I get a team of my
own" with amazing will power he pulled himself up and airbended himself away" they were
quiet for a second then Sokka spoke "should we go after him?" Aang was the one to answer
this "no he'll reveal himself soon" and just before he passed out he smiled and said
"I'm….not…..alone" and then he collapsed asleep on the floor
10 Days later
Fire Nation Prison
The guards were completely untrained for there opponent especially one who was completely
ruthless. All were wiped out except for one which the figure grabbed by the throat and lifted
him up so that his feet were off the ground "you where do you keep the strongest fire bender
in here?" The guard was so scared he had to remind himself to breath "err that would be the
ex princess Azula she's kept at the bottom level" the figure thanked him and then broke his
neck. After winding down many stairs he finally reached her prison cell. He opened the door
and went in "well well well Princess Azula you look pathetic" she paid him no attention he
went on "I can help you princess help you get what is rightfully yours" she looked up and spat
at him "and what would that be you worm" wiping the salvia off his face he spoke
"vengeance" at this her curiosity was peaked "although it's a matter of Quid pro Quo really if
you can have your desire than give me mine" she gave him her full attention "and what would
that be?" the figure laughed "why the death of the Avatar and everyone close to him
something I think we share in common" she submitted in the end "very well untie me than" at
this Kataki (you must have guessed this by now) grabbed her throat "excuse me but it just
sounded like you gave me an order well let me tell you something I'm in charge I could kill
you right now slowly and painfully and sleep like a baby now apologize and say please"
Azula was in complete shock no one had ever talked to her like this she looked into his eyes
and she found nothing, this man was cold and ruthless he lacked any emotion he was just a
shell he couldn't be human. She felt something she'd only felt twice in her life, it was fear the
first time was when she was training with her father and he'd shot lightning at her the second
was when she was a child and was thrown in a pit and challenged to many Agni Kai's by the
fire nations best but she was afraid of merely being in the same room as this man. Swallowing
her pride she spoke "please I'm sorry c...Could you untie me" Kataki ripped apart her chains
like they were made of paper "that's better now come with me we need to recruit an
earthbender and a waterbender to our little team shall we?" Kataki blew apart a hole in the
prison wall and they both jumped down to freedom. The news hit the palace like a
sledgehammer Prince Azula had escaped and was currently on the run, the fact that she was a
companion of the second Airbender was kept quiet.
