Chapter 1. Meeting The Master

"Are we there yet!?" Zuko yelled at the captain of the small ship.

"Don't worry Prince Zuko, we're almost there." The captain replied back to Zuko as he drove the ship closer to the island.

Zuko went back to his room and lay on his bed. The prince started to grow impatient by the minute. He sat up and began to meditate to pass the time. Zuko's eyes were closed as his breathing moves along with the flame of the fire.

As he meditates, Ty Lee jumped out of a box in the ship's storage room. She looked around the room with a smile on her face as always. Walking out of the storage room, she then started to think which direction she should head to. Ty Lee took out a quarter and whispered to herself, "Heads go right and tails left." She smiled as she flips the quarter into the air; she then caught the quarter and then opened her hand. "Okay heads," Ty Lee whisper as she still smiled, she continued to walk forward.

The captain walked up to Zuko and said, "Prince Zuko, we have arrived at the island."

Zuko slowly opened his eyes. "It's about time," he said as he stood up.

As Ty Lee walked down same path as Zuko, she smiled bigger when she saw him. "ZUZU!" she yelled with joy. Then she started to run towards him.

Zuko looked at Ty Lee and said, "Ty Lee what are you doing here?" Zuko then noticed that Ty Lee was running towards him. Zuko knew what was going to happen; he waved his hands in front of his body as he panic a bit. "Wait! Ty Lee don't please!" he said, but it was too late.

Ty Lee tackled the prince to the ground as she hugged him. "ZUZU I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!" she landed on top of him with a smile.

Zuko tried to stay calm as possible as he can. "Ty Lee, can you place get off of me right now."

Ty Lee stood up and started to rub the back of her head. "Oh sorry, Zuzu." she said with her a perky tone.

The prince stood up and dusted off his shoulder a bit. "What are doing here, Ty Lee?" he said as he looked at her. Zuko is already mad by going to the unknown island and now this. The next thing he needed is having Ty Lee with him the whole time in the island. Zuko looked at her and said, "Did Azula told you to come here?"

Ty Lee looked at him. "Yep, she said to spy on you and to see what you are up to." She smiled at the prince and continued talking, "So I'm keeping my eyes on you the whole time." She placed her index fingers and her thumbs on her eyelids to make her eyes open wider as she stared at Zuko.

Zuko knew that Azula might send a spy to keep an eye on him, but he did not see this coming. The prince just stood there as Ty Lee stared at him with her big brown eyes. "Great this is the last thing I needed." Zuko sounded sarcastically. He then poked Ty Lee's forehead hard. "Don't call me Zuzu." He ordered her.

"Ow!" Ty Lee started to rub her forehead as she frown a bit. "But don't you like it when I call you Zuzu" Ty Lee looked at him.

"I don't like when Azula call me that." he said as he walk pass by her.

Ty Lee followed him. "So what about me?" she smile as she talk to him, "Can I call you Zuzu?"

Zuko heisted a bit before answering her. He never thought about Ty Lee calling him Zuzu, and it did not bother him as much when Azula called him that. "I…I don't know…Maybe."

Ty Lee smiled big. "Okay Zuzu." she said in a very cute way. Ty Lee always loved teasing Zuko because she loved it when he blushed.

Zuko blushed a bit when Ty Lee said his nickname. "Don't…Don't call me that again." The prince turned his head away from Ty Lee and hoped she did not see him blush, but it was too late.

Ty Lee smiled big again when she saw the blushing prince. "How cute you're blushing." She poked Zuko's cheek. Ty Lee always thought Zuko looked cute when he blushed.

"I'M NOT BLUSHING!" he yelled at Ty Lee. The prince knew he was blushing, but he tried to deny it. "AND STOP CALLING ME THAT." He ordered Ty Lee as he brushed her finger away from his cheek.

"Zuko, you need to calm down and control your anger." Ty Lee said as she walked next to him. "You have so many stresses in your life. At this rate you might get gray hairs before you turn twenty." She nodded a bit.

Zuko ignored Ty Lee as he walked off the ship and headed to the pier. At the pier there were ten men, all of them were wearing black kimono and a sword on their side. The ten men bowed to the prince then one of the men walked up to the prince and said, "Prince Zuko the master is glad that you came to the island, and weeks before the eclipse."

Zuko is still mad for coming all this way because some guy wanted to see him. "Just take me to your master right now," he ordered the man.

"Yes, I know, but first please tell your men to leave the island," said the man.

"Why?" Zuko stared at the man.

"It's the master's orders and don't worry, when you're done with the master we will send you home." The man saw Ty Lee standing behind Zuko and then said, "And your girlfriend is welcome to stay as well."

"Fine I'll tell my men to leav- wait girlfriend?" Zuko did not know the man was talking about Ty Lee. He turned around and noticed she was standing behind him. "Wait she not my girlfri-" Zuko was cut off when Ty Lee placed her hand on his mouth.

"Oh I'm sorry sir, sometimes my boyfriend work too hard and he will forget that he had a cute girlfriend." Ty Lee smiled a bit.

"I see." said the man.

Zuko pushed Ty Lee's hand away from his mouth. He grabbed Ty Lee's wrist and walk behind some boxes with her. Zuko looked at Ty Lee with anger and said, "What are you doing!? You know Mai is my girlfriend!" he was confused about her actions earlier.

"Aww… come on Zuko, can I stay with you?" Ty Lee pray in front of Zuko hoping he will say 'yes'.

"Why!?" Zuko said as he stared at her.

"Because I want to stay, and besides Azula did order me to keep an eye on you." Ty Lee proved a point about Azula's orders.

Now Zuko have no choice but to say 'yes', as he thought what Azula will do to him if he sent Ty Lee back to the palace. "Fine, you can stay, but don't get in the way. Got it!?"

Ty Lee smiled then she hugged the prince. "Oh Zuzu thank you so much!" she said as she hug Zuko.

Zuko shook his head a bit as Ty Lee hugged him. "I hate my life." he said. He knew this short trip just got a bit longer. "LET GO OF ME!" he yelled at Ty Lee "AND STOP CALLING ME ZUZU!"

An hour later after Zuko ordered his men to leave, the man in the black kimono was taking Zuko and Ty Lee to the temple. As they walk, Ty Lee moved her head a bit to look around the city. Building reminded her about the building in Ba Sing Se. People were walking, or shopping, and the children were playing at the park. This city was much more alive than Ba Sing Se.

Ty Lee looked at the man and said, "So what is the name of the island we're staying?"

The man looked back at her as they walk. "The island's name is Black Phoenix Island."

"Black Phoenix Island?" Ty Lee was curious about why the island was named Black Phoenix Island.

"The reason how the island got its name is unknown. There are different stories on how the island got its name Black Phoenix." The man looked at Ty Lee as he continued talking. "Some say the island is a graveyard to phoenixes, others say this place used to be a mining ground for a rare rock called Phoenix Ashes. For me I think it's because a rare type of bending."

"Rare bending? What do you mean?" Ty Lee asked the man. Zuko listen to their convention.

"You see fire has two types of bending." The man said.

Zuko looked at the man. "Yea, fire and lighting." He joined in the convention.

"And one more bending." The man looked at the Prince

Ty Lee looked at the man and said, "Another one?" she always knew that fire bending has two types: fire and lighting, but a third.

"So what's the thrid one?" Zuko asked the man.

The man replied, "You'll see, Prince Zuko."

The three made it to the temple. The temple was high as a mountain with soldiers on each steps of the stairs and two more on the sides of the door. Each soldier were wearing black kimono as each one wear different arm bend that represent what type of bender they are.

Zuko looked at the soldiers then he looked at the man. "What is the meaning of this!?" Zuko did not see coming. He saw different types of soldiers from the Earth Kingdoms and the Water Tribes around the temple grounds.

"The meaning of what?" The man looked at the prince.

Zuko looked at the soldiers and said, "Why are there Earth and Water benders here!?"

The man answered Zuko's question, "You see this island is almost like Ba Sing Se. People that want to get out of the war. Some of them came from the Earth Kingdoms and the Water Tribes. We even got people from the Fire Nations that came to this island to live in peace." The man smiled and looked around the people that were busy living on with their lives. "Black Phoenix Island is a place of peace. So don't worry Prince Zuko they won't attack you."

Zuko stared at the man then he look back at the temple. Not knowing he should trust the man. Zuko started to walk up the stairs that lead him to the main entrance of the temple. About the third or fourth step, he looked back and saw Ty Lee and the man were not following him. "Well, are you guys coming?" Zuko asked them.

The man answered, "The master wishes to be alone with you, Prince Zuko."

Ty Lee looked at Zuko and said, "Have fun talking to the master." She smiled at him.

Zuko looked at Ty Lee then he looked back at the stairs and continued walking to the main entrance. When Zuko arrived to the main entrance, he started to hear a loud noise. "I knew it!" Zuko thought to himself "It's a trap!" Zuko thought the noise came from a machine that might catch him. Zuko kicked the door down and he quickly got into a fighting stance.

The master placed his tools on a table when Zuko kicked down the door. "Whoa, careful kid! You almost made me scratch my motorcycle!" The master walked to Zuko. "Okay kid what's with the fighting stance?"

"Umm… I though it was a trap cause I heard a loud noise." Zuko felt embarassed for thinking it was a trap and kicking down his door. He then drops his fighting stance and said, "Sorry Mr…ummm…" Zuko could not finish his sentence because he does not know the master's name.

The master looked at his broken door and sighed. "That was a new door too." he looked at Zuko and said, "Oh sorry kid, forgot to tell you my name" The master smiled at the prince. "The name is Nightmare the Master of the Black flame. Well that is my nick name."

Okay everyone I'm going to rewrite all of the chapters because people saying there are some mistake. So it will take me awhile to post up new chapters.
