Chapter One
Sokka woke up on another beach on another island. Seeing Aang and Katara over in the field practicing their bending only did one thing to him.
It hurt him
And not only in the way many people expected, it was something of a small hurt really. But over the many months of travel he felt even less and less useful to the crew. And the hurt grew and grew.
Toph, a earth bender with powers of a master walked up to him. She used her so-called eyesight to examine the situation. Somehow something seemed amiss as she noticed Sokka's heart rate in a very odd pulse
Almost as if he's…..dying
Sokka noticed his heart rate speeding up too. But as it was doing so, his chest starting hurting too, but he ignored it for now, for the wish of being something other than "the funny guy was weighing too much on him."
A look at his life shows that over the many of many battles, Sokka somehow was always beaten down by a bender. Whether or not it was fair, and even with the training with the Kyoshi warriors, it seemed that Sokka was doomed to fail from the very beginning.
The world around him seemed to become fuzzy, what was this terrible sensation that he was feeling? His chest feels as if it was being twisted in a knot. It twisted tighter and tighter it seemed.
Toph noticed this small difference as well and slowly tried to start a conversation with him. "Sokka, are you ok?"
Sokka heard Toph, but didn't reply
'am I ok? AM I OK? What does she think? She and the entire group have all the powers to protect themselves and here I am with nothing but a piece of metal sword and a flawed imagination. I'd be better off missing or dead rather than bringing the group down."
And with that, Sokka crumpled to the ground in a dull thud. Toph screamed, and Aang and Katara both stopped what they were doing to check out the commotion.
As the two members of the group moved as fast as possible back to camp, Toph moved to help Sokka as his body began convulsing in a disturbing manner.
Katara finally reached her brother and whipped out her water as she began to attempt to heal her brother. She managed to slow down his heartbeat and eventually the convulsing slowed to a halt.
As the gang held onto their so-called goofball, said person eventually woke after about a half hour of non-responsiveness. But as his eyes opened, so came the biggest change that any of them ever faced.
"SOKKA!" Katara yelled in surprise. "Your awake." Aang also looked at his friend with a smile on his 12 year old face. But Sokka sat up abruptly with a sigh as he walked over to his bag.
Everyone was shocked by this turn of events, how he was mobile in only 2 minutes after waking. But it wasn't as shocking as a lightning bolt landing next to Aang's feet. Azula and company was attacking again.
Sokka immediately went for his sword, but was immediately pinned down by the finger pinches from Ty-Lee herself. He fell in a crumpled heap as he watched as the gang fell one by one, either beaten down, or just plain caught off guard.
But the biggest surprise was soon to come. As Azula was beginning to wrap up the whole scene, she walked up to the water tribe boy with a smirk on her face.
"Your name is Sokka, indeed?" Sokka stared back at Azula with an empty look all over his face. Azula was taken aback by this turn of events. She was used to fear, even resilience, but total emptiness? It just never happened.
But Azula was smarter than this, and she was about to use her Ace in the Hole.
"You are useless." And these three words struck a chord with Sokka, and suddenly he was hunched over as he attempted to hide his pain and tears. This was not to be however as his head was yanked up to look straight into the fire princesses eyes.
"Therefore, I propose a tradeoff… AVATAR!" Aang looked over from his position at the horrid situation in front of him. "I propose to you a trade, I will kill this boy, but spare the rest of you." Aang looked shocked, Katara was on the verge of tears, and Toph was about to loose it.
"Or, I can just kill you all" Azula stated. "It's just a simple choice." Sokka weighed the options, killing a pawn, or killing the key members? It was a no brainer. "Guys, look I'm useless like she said." With his voice heavy in defeat, he continued. "I'm not worth anything, I can't bend and I'm not good for anything, so please, it'll be ok."
Azula smirked with a grin so big, it would bend mountains, "It looks like he made the smart decision. Goodbye…. Sokka." And with that, a lightning bolt ran though his system and Sokka saw no more.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" All three of the gang said as the Fire Warriors dragged Sokka's body away. But only one person in BOTH groups had any idea what was REALLY going on, and so the Acrobatic girl with a pigtail held onto Sokka's body for all she was worth. For she held the key to his salvation.
Well everyone, this is my first Fanfiction ever since I stopped doing this 6 years ago. So please, some constructive critisim would be great, and please review so that I can make it better! I know there are not that many Sokka-Centered stories out there so I plan to make this one long and great.
