PREVIOUESLY ON AVATAR
Waking up, Aang sees her face, instead of her sister's.
"You're looking at the last water bender in the whole south pole. There was one other but... They took my sister."
"You will find change, and good fourtune, upon you're travels Aang." Avatar Roku told him.
"Did you know, that they're were legends before, and you'd fall in love with them?" asked Katara, as Aang shrugged in the secret library.
Flashback "Got you Katara!" I yelled throwing a snowball with my water bending.
"I'm gonna get you Kiara!" she yelled running after me our crescent moon robes showing, showing that we're water benders. I was running till I got to Sokka and put a finger to my lips signaling to be quiet as we hid behind a snow bank. I managed to make a snowball with my gloves and threw it at my brother.
"Ahhh!" he turned around trying to get the, now, cold wet water off of his back. He turned around to see me laughing uncontrollably. "Kiara! Your gonna get it!" he yelled coming at me and Katara as we ran. We were giggling, like any 7 and 9 year old girls would, but that was short lived. Black ashes fell from the sky as we stopped and looked up.
"I'm gonna see if Gram Gram is okay." Katra said running off.
"And I'm going to see if Mommy's alright!" I exclaimed heading home as I ran, I watched as more black snow fell. It snows white, not black.
I got inside our home as I saw a flash as I blocked my face, but not before I saw the man kill Mommy, who was laying lifeless. "Mommy." I whimpered. I looked at the man as I got angrier and angrier. "You...Hurt...My...Mommy!" I yelled not really rembering anything else but flashes. I remember...beninding and... fire, water, air. It makes me dizzy to think about it. But I didn't know anything else.
After that I remember the man whispered almost to low to hear, "I need to get you to the Fire Lord." he said. I remember he said and putting me on his shoulder. I remember...I was crying, crying for help. "Daddy! Sokka! Help!" I wailed as he sprintted making my stomach hurt from his shoulders puncturing my stomach.
"You kid stay in here." he told me as he shut the door in my face. I started crying as I jumped on to the bed and climbed with speed up to the window with bars on it. "Daddy!" I wailed. "Daddy help! Ahh!" I yelled as I was put in chains and never got food till we got to the Fire Nation, the worse day of my life. End of Flashback
"Kiara!" I saw Daddy yell fighting the bad guys off, who I now learned was fire nation. He was running with everyone, Uncle Bato, Gram Gram, and even Katara and Sokka were running towards the ship as the door started shutting. "I love you guys!" I yelled.
"Looks like you have another cell buddy, Legend." the Dai Li guard said pushing a bison with six feet, I mean he has six feet! Inside the room. He was roaring like no tomorrow as they made sure my hands were chained up securely. I got away a couple of times before. I wonder if anyone else know that there working for Princess Azula from the Fire Nation. I looked at the fury guy. "Hi." I said. "My names Kiara. What yours?" I asked.
Roar.
"I thought so." I said looking down my hands chained up to the wall. "Can, you talk to the bison, Kalla?" I asked her.
"Wu-ff!" She barked at the bison.
"Roar!" he roared back.
Kalla looked at me and shook her head yes. "Do you know how to get out?" I asked. "Any earth bending creature are you?" I asked. He shook his head no. "Well, then we'll just have to get to know each other huh?" I asked.
"Roar."
"So... you like snow?" I asked.
"I think I can do it again." I told the bison and Kalla and kicked the ground with my foot again. "Almost got it." I said, getting very tired. "I'll have to try to do it later again, if they don't notice. You can eat my watermelon again if you want, only if you two split it." I told them, almost drifting asleep. Dreaming of seeing Dad, Sokka, Katara and Gram Gram.
~~Dream~~But I was hopping for it. I was dreaming in a place, I had no clue where I was either. "Hello!" I called out into the huge white room.
"You again?" I asked seeing the boy with tattoos again. "What are you doing here again?" I asked.
"What are you doing?" he asked retorted.
"I asked you first, arrow boy!" I yelled.
"I went to sleep after looking for my bison and putting posters up all over Ba Sing Se!" he yelled at me.
"Ba Sing Se?" I questioned. "I'm in Lake Loagai." I said happy, someone could save me.
"Then your dead?" he asked about to poke me.
"No!" I said slapping his hand. "I'm under the lake, with a huge bison with 6 legs, and my polar dog Kalla. I always give them my watermelon." I said dazed.
"Do you know the bison's name?" he asked.
"No. I can't understand him. I don't speak 'roar', but, Kalla can." I told him.
"Next time you see him call him Oppa. That's his name." he smiled scratching the back of his head.
"This is the 7Th time this year your in my dreams." I said shaking my head.
"Maybe when I see you in reality, we can find out why." he proposed.
"Sounds like a deal..." I pondered on his name.
"Aang."
"Aang." I confirmed. "Goodbye." I said waving and fading white. ~~~End of Dream.~~~
I woke up, not to chains on my wrist, but to fur that I was gripping on for dear life. I opened my eyes to see myself on Oppa as Aang said was his name, Kalla right below us. We we're heading to the beach of Lake Loagai. "Oppa? Why are we going Th- ERE!" I yelled as he swooped making me fall to the ground, and into the water.
I started sinking till I swam up wards coughing up water. "Thanks so much Oppa!" I yelled at him walking out of the water, not noticing the Dai Li agents till they talked.
"The Legend and her animal has gotten out!" a Dai Li agent yelled as they made walls around me and 4 other people.
"Oh, great. What did I do to you guys?" I asked sarcastically using my water bending and whipping them. I grabbed the last one with my whip and skidded them across the lake dodging the rock hands that were being thrown at me. "You better be careful with those. You can hurt some one with them." I said using more water. I was about to be pummeled by Long Fee but I watched as it was picked up by teeth and thrown into the lake.
"Woo! Go Oppa! Yeah!" I yelled as he licked me. "Great going boy." I said rustling his fur. "So how was the watermelon today?" I asked giggling as Kalla and Oppa licked their lips. "Good to know." I said as someone poked my shoulder."What?" I asked turning around gracefully.
"Kiara?" he asked.
"Aang!" I said hugging him as he twirled me.
"You know each other?" a girl wearing green asked with black hair.
"Kiara? Is that you?" a girl asked.
"Katara?" my eyes watered as I looked at her, then to the boy beside her. "Sokka?" I whispered.
"Were here baby sister." Sokka admitted.
"Your here!" I yelled running into their invited hug. "I missed you." I cried.
"We missed you too."
"Where were you?" Katara asked.
"A lo-"
"Does everyone know Kiara but me?!" the black haired girl yelled.
"You do. Well, know about me." I said putting my hand out.
"Toph." she said spitting into her hand.
"Cool name." I said, as we both whipped our hands on our clothes.
"How do you know?" he asked me still holding onto Oppa.
"He would make an arrow in the sand anytime he got the chance." I shrugged.
Aang got off of Oppa and Oppa licked him as I giggled. "You know," Katara started. "We never did know how you two know each other. And Kalla?" she stated.
"Yes, that's his name and I've seen him a couple times in my life, more like dreams." I said turning to her.
"Weird." Katara said putting her index finger tapping it on the corner of her chin.
"Look," Sokka said as Toph was sitting down and Katara was standing up looking content. " We escaped the Dai Li we got Oppa back, we got Kiara and her polar dog plus shes living proof of this! Plus she can talk!"
Oppa roared and Kalla barked.
"Well, sorry! But I don't think you can speak English." Sokka turned his back crossing his arms. "Then we can tell them our plan then!" he said getting to his last subject. "We're on a roll!"
"One good hour for us before getting into weeks of trouble is not a roll." Katara retorted.
"Plus, I don't think I can go into the city without being arrested." I admitted.
"Why?" Sokka asked.
"They'll just try and capture me again. They said I was valuable to the Fire Nation, I could help them rule the world. I declined they kept me locked up. Moved me to different locations when I got clues to where I was. I met Kalla and they figured that it would be a fight, so they let me keep him for being good. . I pretended like I didn't hear through the vents that we were in Ba Sing Se."
"The Fire Nation brought you here?"
"Yeah. I don't know where they are now, they probably sold me or something."
"Well, we can build on it! You won't leave us ever again!" he said jabbing a finger at me. "And if we fight the fire nation on the eclipse we'll need the Earth King's support.
"What makes you think we'll get it?" Toph asked as Aang walked over to me. "I don't think you've noticed but, nothing that smoothly goes for our little gang."
"I know, but I have a good feeling about this." Sokka said.
"Sokka, Lang Fee controls this city! Plus his conspiracy with the Dai Li is to powerful!" I used my hands for motions as I told Sokka.
Katara said, "I think we should take Kiara, her pet Kalla and fly away and leave this horrible place behind us.
"I'm with sweetness. I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see!" she yelled throwing her hands up in explanation.
"I second that." I agreed raising my hand as Kalla barked in agreement.
"But now that we have Oppa back, there nothing holding us back from telling the Earth King the truth! Kiara's wrist have cuff markings and blood." Aang started. "I think she's more proof than Oppa and Kalla though! As Sokka said, she can talk! No offense to you Papa." Aang said quickly.
"Yeah Aang's with me!" he said "Besides that's the reason we came here in the first place. We have to try."
"Well..." I said rubbing my chin. "if the earth king did know the truth, things could change." I admitted as Sokka's and Aang's faces lit up.
"I don't trust the new positive Sokka." Toph started. "Lang Fee brain washed you didn't he?!" Toph accused him pointing as well.
"Oh, so your still not positive?" I asked Sokka, smirking as Aang ran towards the lake.
I ran towards him seeing the boats that I was on a long time ago. "That's the Dai Li. They're probably looking for us. We need to go. What about it Katara?" I asked.
"Lets Fly." she said as they ran towards Oppa. I climbed up on Kalla. "Len Len!" I yelled and she started running, I made an ice bridge and she ran over that with ease as I destroyed it as we crossed.
"There it is." I yelled as Oppa was lowered toward the ground about over 10 feet above me and Kalla. "That whole thing is the palace! The Earth King's chamber is in the center!"
"But, we have to be careful. Lang Fee probably warned the king that we're coming. And the Dai Li probably know that Kiara's gone too!" Katara commented with a yell so I could hear.
"Well, if you ask me, I think we'll sail right Th- Ah!" Sokka yelled as a rock almost hit us.
"What was that?!" Toph yelled.
"Surface air rocks!" Sokka yelled back.
"More coming!" I warned as they started going up a little higher.
A rock was about to hit Katara but... I don't remember.
Katara
"More Coming!" Kiara warned us as we dodged them left to right. One was about to hit me but before it could. Kiara's eyes glowed white and she round-house kicked the rock as she jumped off of Kalla. She got as much as you can of steady footing on Oppa and blocked rocks that came at Oppa and Kalla. We were all watching in amazement, except Toph. But she felt it sort of I guess.
I watched as she cut one in half with her foot.
"Whoa." I said. I looked at my bag, filled with 3 books that I have stolen from the Library. Where we lost Oppa, but we have him again, so no worries.
But, everyone was looking at Kiara, only the avatar and the Legend can do this. They say the Legend can bend all elements with the Avatar when she is needed most, happened 3 times all the time. Waters the only one who hasn't.
I think now it has.
"Don't touch my family!" she yelled throwing the rocks back, but her voice was different, like four at once.
"Don't hurt my friends!" she yelled as she hurled another one that was coming at Kalla and we landed. She stopped and fainted falling off Oppa, but Kalla had her fall on to her back and stopped by where Oppa landed.
"Kiara!" I yelled reaching for my little sister on Kalla.
I picked Kiara up and checked her pulse, still there, I put her on Kalla as Aang and Toph formed a ledge and earth bended ourselves up as Kiara started to stir. "Shh, Kiara rest." I told her as she snuggled up to Kalla's neck. I knew she was probably sweating in that robe but, I'm not sure if she had a dress or under shirt on.
Aang picked her up letting go of her death hold on Kalla and held onto Aang's neck, you must admit they look extremely cute like that.
"Where's the Earth King?" Sokka yelled opening doors.
"Please let me down." I heard Kiara say as Aang put her to her feet. "I think its those fancy doors. I think." she said rubbing her eyes like she did when she was little when she was tired.
"Stand back..." Sokka warned as he kicked the door and then rolled on the floor in immense pain. Aang blew air with Kiara right at his side as he kept one arm around her waist and her arm around his shoulders.
KIARA
I held onto Aang as he opened the door with his air bending with his other hand as I limped a little. We entered the room as I limped as fast as I could...I noticed Kalla noticed to but stayed back with Oppa I'm gonna need to heal this. I put my hands in punching position as we got in front of the Earth King as I saw Long Fee and Dai Lee agents. I hate their guts!
"We need to talk to you." Aang told the Earth King as I try to stand up, but holding my side. Aang still holds me as I keep my arm around his shoulder.
"They're here to overthrow you." Long Fee faked informed the King as I glared at the man who has put me through so much pain.
"You have to trust us." I groaned, my fists still clenched.
"You invade my palace, lay waste to my guards, and break down my fancy door." the Earth King listed. "And you expect me to trust you?" the King questioned.
"He's got a point." Toph told us. "It is a fancy door."
"If your on my side, drop your weapons and stand down." the King instructed as everyone did, but me since I had nothing.
"See," Aang said gesturing with his free hand ", we're friends your earthliness!"
"Detain these assailants." Long Fee told the Dai Li.
I felt them take my hands and place them behind my back with earth bending.
"Ouch!" I winced as they were on my cuts from the chain.
"Kiara show them your wrists!" Sokka whispered to me, people hearing still.
"I can't! I don't earth bend! I can only do things so far!" I whispered in a yell as Sokka had a face of confusion like he would know if I did or not. I looked back up at Long Fee staring at him.
"Make sure the Avatar and the Legend along with their friends never see daylight." Long Fee told the Dai Li.
"Not this Legend thing again!" I whined.
"Wait?!" the King yelled. "This is the Avatar and Legend! Your the Avatar and Legend?!" the Earth King yelled pointing at Toph and Sokka.
" would be them." Sokka told him jabbing his head in Aang and my direction.
Aang un-freeing him self for a while. "That would be me and her...I guess." he said putting the cuffs back on.
"What does it matter?" Long Fee asked. "They're enemies of the state."
"Perhaps your right." the King said rubbing his chin. Bosco all of a sudden got up and walked towards Aang, who I was still leaning on from the pain. He sniffed Aang and licked his face as I giggled. "Bosco seems to like him. I'll hear what you have to say." he told us.
"Well sir," I started. "There's been a war going on, past 100 years in fact. The Dai Li has kept it a secret from you. It's a conspiracy to take control of the city, to control you.
"I hear things you know," I started again towards Long Fee. "Through the vent you put me by. I could hear the Jo Di's as you hypnotized them. I heard every word. Every one of them." Sneered glaring as his eyes had fear in them.
"A secret war?" The King asked. "That's crazy!" he commented.
"Completely." Long Fee told us, fear in his eyes still.
"Long Fee didn't want us to tell you," Aang told the earth King. ", so he stole our sky bison to black mail us. Blackmail is the least of his crimes, he brainwashed my friend, he took Kiara and her pet polar dog,
Kalla too." he sneered looking down at me with sympathy as I was a little smaller than him by about 3 inches. I'm small, I know. "Look at her hands." he said taking the cuffs off me with his earth bending and I put my hands up.
"I was cuffed, chain there for who knows...days, weeks months... maybe even a year." I sighed rubbing my hands as a tear threatened to fall over.
"All lies. I've never seen that girl, I've never seen a polar dog, and I've certainly never seen a flying bison." Long Fee lied. "I thought they were extinct." He told us before he bent down my arms free. I picked up the water Katara dropped and place it in her pouch that was on her waist.
"Thanks." she mouthed smiling, though her eyes were a thousand miles away.
"I'll have to trust my adviser." he said as four, wait four! Dai Li agents came out. They grabbed Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, but not me.
"Wait I can prove that Long Fee's lien." I told him. "Show him your leg." I commanded.
"What?" he asked surprised. "I am not disrobing." Long fee told me.
As a Dai Li agent came and grabbed my waist, since he forgot his hand gloves. Idiot.
I blew, it was suppose to get Oppa and Kalla to get out of here when I whistled, but instead it hit Long Fee.
It showed the four teeth marks on his left leg.
"Ha!" Sokka said. "Never met a sky bison?" he asked.
"That happens to be a large birthmark." Long Fee said as I looked surprised I could do that as Long Fee covered his 'birth mark'. " Thanks for showing everyone."
"Well, I suppose there's no way to show where the mark does come from." the King confronted.
"Of course there is." Sokka said as we made Appa and Kalla came too, unnecessarily, walk into the room and showed them Appa's teeth, looking exactly like Long Fee's 'birthmark'.
"Yeah that pretty much proves it." the King says. We cheered a little till he said. "But that doesn't explain the conspiracy, though it's worth looking into."
"We'll take it." Sokka told us as we left the palace walls, I still limped as Aang helped me onto Appa. Kalla on as well, just fitting onto Appa's back.
"How did I get hurt?" I asked as we flew up in the air and Katara, Sokka, Toph, the Earth King and some Dai Li agents for 'safety'.
"I don't know. Katara does, but what's the Legend?" he asked as I sat on Appa's head right by him to talk better.
Face to face.
"I've been trying to figure that out for..about five maybe six years almost. They haven't told me anything. I remember flashes of when I escaped several times, ha! Princess Azula wanted to give me a little punishment by burning my necklace," I place my hand on my necklace. "I remember one little part, me kicking her face." I laughed a humorless laugh. "Hard."
"Princess Azula?!" Aang gasped
"Yea, she said I was important to the Fire Nation. I walked away from were she was laying unconscious as I ran, I found a village, then a swamp the next time, then I was by the north, or the south, either way, I asked to keep Kalla when I found hi, I promised not to run if I they didn't hurt him. Kalla followed me back on to the boat and we sailed off. I have escaped 4 times, get caught again and again." I felt a tear drop and I whipped it real quick.
"I'm so so sorry." Aang whispered as I leaned into Aang and he put his arm around my shoulder, the one that didn't have the reins in his head.
We landed at Lake Loagai and got off. Toph raised the tunnel that lead in to the jail.
"It's gone!" I yelled looking at it.
"Oh," Sokka was bummed I can tell you that. "Alright, I still have my positive attitude."
"The Dai Li must have known and destroyed the evidence." Katara suggested
.
"This seems awfully convenient." the King huffed.
"The drill!" Katara exclaimed. "They can't get rid of it that fast!"
"What drill?" I was tempted to ask but, didn't do so, knowing that could help with Long Fee's suspicion to the King.
"If you come with us to the outer wall we can show you the secret war is real!" Aang persuaded him.
"No earth king has ever been to the outer wall!" the King exclaimed. "I don't have any more time with this non sense!"
"You can ride Oppa," Sokka said persuasively.
Everyone got on Oppa's back but me. I jumped up on Kalla. "Len Len." I said and she started zooming past Oppa.
I heard a distant. "Yip yip." and saw Oppa ride over head of us.
"Follow Oppa." I told Kalla as she jogged under Oppa and climbed up the wall they went above.
Once we got up they were already talking. "What is that?" the King was asking.
"A drill." Katara started. "A fire nation drill."
"To break through your walls." Sokka told him as I got off of Kalla and petted her fur.
"I can't believe I never knew." he told us. I walked over to the wall seeing a huge drill with the fire nation insignia on it.
"Wow." I breathed out.
"I can explain this." Long Fee told us. "It's... a construction project." he admitted.
"Really?" I asked sarcastically. "Then why is there a fire nation insignia on it?" I asked putting my arms over my chest as Kalla growled.
The King looked over seeing the insignia on it. He turned back sort of glaring at Long Fee.
"Well, it's imported of course." Long Fee excused. "You know you can't trust domestic machinery."
We all glared at Long Fee for his excuses. I watched as Kalla was about to go and bit him but I held her back. "No." I whispered and she dropped her head and stood by me.
"Surely you don't believe children over you most loyal attendant." he said doing a hurt face.
"Dai Li," The King ordered. ", arrest Long Fee I want him to do trials for defying the Earth Kingdom."
One word to describe everyone. Shocked.
"You can't arrest me!" Long Fee shouted. "You need me more than you know!"
"Looks like Long Fee is long gone." I joked.
