The ship rocked heavily against the storm. Zuko watched as Aang tried to battle the storm and Katara try to rescue the crewmen who have been through overboard. Suki and Sokka were trying to steer the ship around the storm and into safer waters while Toph had built a high metal barrier around the ship's control room. He prays that Mai and Ty Lee and all the children are safe and dry.
"ZUKO!" Aang called, "Try to dry up the rain! Steam is better than this torrential downpour! At least then we could sail the ship again."
Zuko nodded curtly before attempting to turn all the rain into steam. That's when he heard a scream of terror. He had been surrounded by screams for the past couple hours but this particular one was from the one person whose cries could stop his heart.
"KATARA!" Zuko ran to the spot where Katara had been just seconds before desperately searching the waters for any sign of her. Zuko found her battling the waters 15 feet from the ship and dives in after her.
"Zuko!" Katara called.
Zuko swims over and wraps his arm around her slender body. She practically goes limp against him. Zuko somehow manages to swim his way over the boat and get almost get them onto it when another massive wave approach them. He sees Katara weakly raise her arms up in an attempt to break up the wave and the next thing he knows he is surrounded by dark blue and Katara has slipped out of his grasp. The last things Zuko remembers are determined blue eyes and freezing cold.
