I don't own ATLA. Please review. Edit done by AnnaAza.
"Hakoda, come quick!" Kanna shouted as she called her son.
"What is it?" Hakoda came rushing in, pulling back the flap
Kanna went into her son's arms and cried.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at the toys she chose!" Kanna wailed.
Hakoda gasped. "She's the new Avatar!"
"Gran-Gran, I don't like this game!" Katara complained
"Katara, please just do this!"
"What's so great about bending air?" The little girl whined.
"Well, since you have failed at bending water." Katara's five year old brother said.
"Sokka!"
"Gran-Gran, I want to play!"
"You can play later, bend now!"
"Fine." Katara pouted. Katara was only four. She was a Waterbender, but she could also bend the air. Her Gran-Gran always made her practice. Her father left with the men of her tribe. They left to try and stop the anti benders.
"Gran-Gran, why are we here?" Eight year old Katara asked.
"Katara, we are going to stay here for a while."
"Why?"
"So you can learn how to Earthbend"
"But.." Kanna covered Katara's mouth and hid behind a wall. She heard noices that didn't sound like humans. So they slowly went back to where Katara was practising and saw an animal.
Katara raced over. It looked like a baby, she was hurt though.
"Gran-Gran, she's so pretty!" Katara squealed.
"She's hurt though!" Kanna quickly helped the animal with its burn.
"Poor thing, I'll call you Peg!" Katara petted Peg.
"Katara, we can't keep her." Kanna said.
"But Gran-Gran, she's different; she's not like the others, just like me.."
"Katara, we can't risk it!" Gran-Gran tried to heal the horse who was struggling.
Katara sighed and placed a hand on the horses head. "Hush, you don't have to be afraid, you're not alone."
The horse stopped struggling.
"Fine, you can keep it."
"Gran-Gran, why did you want me to do all those things when I was younger?" Fourteen year old Katara asked.
Kanna sighed. "Katara, I didn't want to tell you this, but you are old enough to know…you are the Avatar!"
Katara mounted her horse.
"Katara, will you be okay?" Her grandmother asked.
"Yes, I have to do this; you know it's my destiny." Katara sighed.
"I just wish I could go with you!"
"Gran-Gran, I'm sixteen, you know I have to learn Firebending." Katara said.
"Be careful Katara." Sokka said. Katara looked at the horse.
"Let's go Peg!" Katara was dressed in her warmest clothing as she and Peg went to the Fire Nation.
A tall, thin, but muscular man entered the bar. He sat on a stool.
"One cold beer." He gruffed. His name was Zuko. He had on a gray trench coat, a black belt, black fingerless gloves; sleeves were rolled up halfway, black pants, and a red scarf. It was his mother's own scarf. He tied it around his neck to remember her. His scar was a remembrance from his father.
Zuko sat at a bar as he drank his beer. Whispers were heard.
"Isn't that Ozai's son?"
"Yeah, the so called Prince!"
"You mean the banished one?"
"Both Ozai and Ursa are dead; he won't be taking the throne anytime soon; plus with those Antibenders..."
Zuko stood up and was about to leave until a man came crashing through.
"Next time, don't mess with me!" A young girl smirked with her hands on her hips.
"You bitch!" One of the men was about to punch Katara. Katara got into a defensive position before someone suddenly held back the guy.
"Hey, weren't you ever taught not to hit a lady?" A young man with a scar said who held back the guy. He pulled back the guy, and then kicked him.
"I can take care of myself!" Katara started to punch the guys coming their way.
"Really, didn't look like it!" Zuko smirked. Katara went in her purse to pull out a ring.
"This is no time to play dress up!" Zuko punched another guy. "Or to apply your make-up, though you do need it!"
Katara blushed. "Are you saying I'm ugly?"
"You said it, not me!" Zuko kicked another guy.
The ring turned and Katara threw it up and it extended to a sceptre. It was pale blue with the four nation symbols on either side circling a moon.
She smirked as Zuko's mouth dropped. Katara used her sceptre to hit the guys.
"What else do you have inside that purse?" Zuko asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know."
"Hey!" A woman said. The guys left quickly.
"You two, come with me." She told both Zuko and Katara.
"So you two were causing trouble!" The snow white haired lady said.
"Not my fault, I was handling things until he jumped in!" Katara glared at Zuko.
"You called that handling things?" Both he and Katara were sitting by the woman's desk with her looking at them.
"That's a strange animal you got there." The woman said.
"Well, I'm the Avatar and I…" Katara stopped as Zuko and the woman were looking at her. "What?"
"You're the Avatar?" The woman gasped she then held out her hand. "I'm Officer Yue, head of the police force."
"Some force you got there, Chief, thugs attacking innocent little girls…" Zuko mumbled.
"Little girl?" Katara's eyebrow rose.
"So the Avatar is a girl..."
"Yes, I know my destiny is to train and take down those Antibenders." Katara tried to remember what her grandmother said.
"Foolish girl." Zuko said.
"What!" Katara glared at Zuko, who just leaned back against his chair.
"They are chi-blockers; how can you put up without your bending?"
"He's got a point." Yue said.
"Hey!" Katara said.
"So, how far along are you in your training?" Yue asked.
"Well, I mastered Earthbending, and I'm still training with Airbending."
"What about fire?" Zuko asked.
"I have yet to find a teacher." "So why did you come here?" "Well, to look for one…" "So, you don't know Water, Fire, or Air?" Zuko asked.
"Yeah."
"Great, so you're basically at square one." Zuko said sarcastically.
"What's your name?" Yue asked.
"Katara."
"Well, Katara, if I were you, I'd keep you being the Avatar a secret for now." Yue said. "If those Antibenders found out you were here…"
"I can teach you Firebending." Zuko said.
"Why do you want to help me?" Katara asked.
"I don't like the Antibenders…."
"Fine." Katara could tell there was something he wasn't telling her, but it was his business not hers.
"But you'll need to know how to defend and fight better." Zuko pulled out a piece of paper. "We're going to the Pro-bending competition!"
"Before you go anywhere, Katara, that outfit won't do!" Yue said. Katara had on very warm clothing.
Yue gave Katara an outfit. "These used to be mine, but now they can't fit." Yue said. "The maid will help you."
"Aw, she is so adorable!" The maid pinched Katara's cheeks.
"So, how do I look?" Katara asked. She was now wearing a light blue short sleeveless one piece form fitting outfit that showed off her legs and her curves. Over the shorts area was a transparent silver sash. She had on light blue cuff wrist bands. She wore black shorts and she also wore blue and white lace-up boots. Her hair was styled similar to her hair loopies. Two shoulder bang on both sides of her face. Her hair was up in a high ponytail.
"Normal." Zuko coughed.
Katara glared at him.
"Peg, I'm sorry, but you have to stay with Yue for now; I don't want too much attention on us!" Katara told Peg.
"Don't worry; I'll take good care of her." Yue said. Katara got into Zuko's motorcycle's side car.
"Where are we going?" Katara yelled.
"To find some Earthbenders; we need one for our team!"
"What team?"
"The one you have to make to compete: you need one Firebender, one Waterbender, and one Earthbender!"
"But I suck at Waterbending!"
"We'll find you the Waterbending teacher first!"
So, do you like it?
