Chapter 1: The Double Bender

I haven't written in a while but here is the sequel to The Silver Stream, If you haven't read the first one you might want to because you will be lost if you start reading this on. The first one is rated T and is Action/Adventure incase you want to search. Or you could just go to my page and look for it which would be a lot easier. Anyway here it goes and I don't own Avatar or anything in it.

After a long day of training I sat down and enjoyed my dinner when Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka all walked up to me. "We have been trying to figure something out. Something that makes no sense." Said Katara. "What is it?" I asked. "You a great fire bender, but in that other village you were water bending." She said. "Yes, the water bending. Now do you see why I can't get it, you said it yourself I have the best stance you've ever seen but I can't because I'm more fire bender than water bender." I said "But how can you bend two elements if you not the avatar?" Asked Toph. "Well I think it has something to with me being a fire bender born on the winter solstice while the moon was full exactly when it rose and the sun set. I was supposed to never be able to bend fire and growing up I could only take it away not make it." I said.

"That's amazing, but it still doesn't completely explain everything." Said Katara. "Well when I was born I had completely white eyes with no color. It was like I was deformed so my mother took me to a stream she like to sit next to, to relax her and the moon shone on the stream making it silver. She said as I looked at the stream it turned my eyes silver. That has something to do with it and then there's this voice that speaks to me." I said. "There he goes acting crazy again." Said Sokka. "He told me I'm part of the avatar." I said. "Well it has to be true." Said Aang "Like were brothers." He said. "Well lets get some rest, your training is going great and soon we'll be able to defeat Fire Lord Ozai." I said. I laid back and looked at the stars like I do every night. I saw a shooting star fly across the sky and looked over at Oro. "Did you see that?" I asked. "Yeah." She said. I looked back up at the constellations, stars and gas explosions in space. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I opened my eyes and looked at the sky. The moon was setting so it was about five thirty. I got up and looked around another nice day and another day to train. Then a rock shot at me from in the woods. I did a back handspring then drew my two broadswords.

A tall slim man dressed in all black and green came out of the woods and stomped. I was launched into the air then he shot a rock at me while I was in the air. I swung both broadswords and it knocked me back and chipped the swords slightly. I felt an air current catch me and looked around to see Aang air bending. I landed softly and thanked Aang and looked at the earth bender. Toph got up twisting her foot. He shot another rock at me and I shot a blue fireball with my fist. It was so powerful it knocked the rock back to the earth bender. I started to shoot blue fire at him in little burst of fire but he blocked them all without effort. Then a pointed rock shot out of the ground at his head. He stopped it then jumped dodging Kataras water whip.

Aang shot fire and earth and air at him in different combinations. I watched in amazement as he made combinations simply bending three elements at the same time. I looked to see the earth bender bringing up walls and earth shields with amazing speed. Then Toph stomped and he was launched into the air. I shot him with red fire and his clothes started to burn then Katara put the fire out and Toph put a cage around him. Before he could break it Aang jumped up and put his staph to the benders throat. "Why are you trying to kill us?" Asked Aang. "I'm not trying to kill you." He said. "What do you want?" Aang asked. "I was testing you, to make sure your ready. Iroh needs your help it is time for you to start heading to the Fire Nation." Said the soldier. "It could be a trap." Said Sokka. "Did Iroh really send you?" Asked Toph. "Yes." He said. "He's lying." said Toph. "Ok but he is in trouble and he does need your help. He's in prison and Fire Lord Ozai is going to kill him for betrayal." Said the soldier. "He's telling the truth about that and he was really trying to test us." Said Toph. "Who are you." I asked. "An old friend of Irohs." He said.

"Well lets go." I said packing my stuff up. "I haven't rode on Appa yet." I said. We all got packed up and climbed onto Appa. "Yip-Yip." Said Aang we flew up into the air and I felt something I had always wanted to feel. To be close to the sky, the feeling of flying. I laid down one Appas back looking around at the clouds. It was awfully cold up here though "This is amazing!" I said full of emotion. Aang and the rest of his friends smiled as we all looked around in total shock. "It gets old after a while." Sokka said. "I can't wait till night time." I said looking at Oro. "Why its freezing cold." Said Toph. "I could make a fire in my hand but I don't want to bother Appa." I said. I looked down behind us at the vast ocean and another small island. It looked unpopulated, there were so many islands all over here and you could never really know which were populated or not. "How long will it take to get to the Fire Nation?" I asked. "Were pretty close so maybe fifteen hours. We'll have to stop somewhere and rest though." Said Aang. We rode Appa for about ten hours and were close to Soron the town where Jeong Jeong took us. "Lets land here this is where our families live." I said "Ok, Come on Appa you get to rest." Said Aang. Then as we got close I saw my worst nightmare. A Fire Nation flag hanging high in the sky.
"Oh no."
