Author's Note: This fan fiction takes place after season one. I took some liberties with Zula, since we haven't really met her yet. I am aiming at the pairing Zutara, but I plan on keep the characters true to their personalities. Let me know what you think either way.

"Among the Wreckage"

Some time had passed since the showdown with the Northern Water Tribe, and Zuko with the help of his Uncle had obtained another crew and a Fire Navy ship. Most of the new crew where from his previous ship, and the new shipmates had joined after the retired General Iroh explained Zuko's mission and banishment to them. They felt it was an honor to serve someone who cared about not only his country, but also the people who lived in it. However the union of the crew was short lived.

A fleet of Fire Navy ships attacked the Zuko and his men, and the one calling all the shots was none other than Zuko's sister Zula. She had ordered an attack to sink her brother's ship and to make sure he went down with it. Many lives were lost, but once again Zuko was able to escape. Iroh was picked up by Zula's crew.

She smiled, but her voice seemed to hiss as she greeted Iroh, "Welcome aboard my dear uncle."

"Zula! You attacked your own brother! How could you be so heartless?"

"My brother is dead." She scoffed as she crossed her arms over her chest. She and Iroh entered her room. Zula knew of her Uncles love for tea so he had an onboard servant bring them some.

"You are too cruel."

Zula took a sip of tea and raised an eyebrow to her uncle.

"I mean in regards to Zuko. It is horrible that you want him dead." Iroh too began to drink his tea.

""He didn't die today. He has been dead to me ever since he lost the Agni Kai!"

"Zula," her uncle said trying to encourage her to collect herself.

The young girl simply stood and left her uncle to his tea. She hated how calm he was nearly all the time. It made her want to scream!

Sometime later…

Our three heroes flew over the ocean thanks to Appa.

"Good boy Appa!" Aang laughed as Momo jumped from Sokka's shoulder to Aang's head.

Katara laughed as Aang made a silly grinning face at the lemur.

Sokka sighed noticing that when Momo had left his shoulder the lemur had taken the moon peach that he was planning to eat with him. " Momo you thief!" Sokka stood to shake his fist at Momo and call names, but stopped once he spotted wrecked ship in the water near by. "Hey guys look over there!" He called to Aang and Katara as he pointed to the left of the flying bison.

The ship's wreckage was worse than anything they had seen in the war. "Some one went a bit over board on attacking it… err uh no pun intended," Aang winced at the idea that anyone might think what he said was a joke.

"We should see if there are any survivors," Katara suggested.

"No we shouldn't." Aang and Katara looked at Sokka. "Look, see the bodies?" He pointed to a few that were clearly dead, " They are wearing Fire Nation armor. We definitely don't want to help them."

Katara frowned at her brother, "But Sokka, Dad would want us too. He always said we are 'human before we are enemies.' We should help!"

"Yeah Sokka," Aang agreed. "And maybe we can find someone to help me master fire bending!"

" Two to one Sokka, can't argue with that"

"Fine! Why do I know that this will lead to trouble?" The Young warrior wined as he flopped back down to his normal sitting spot on Appa's Saddle.

Aang had Appa land on an island close to where the ship was.

"Ok Appa, be good we'll be back soon." Aang petted Appa's thick fur then ran to catch up with Katara and Sokka, who had walked on a head of him. Momo went along with the three riding on Aang's shoulder.

A few hours had passed and they found nothing.

"I say we head back soon," Sokka suggested.

"Maybe you're right," Katara added.

Aang sighed, but as he did so Momo jumped off his shoulder and ran down the beach. "Hey! Momo wait up!" The monk called after his pet lemur.

On the beach Zuko felt his world spinning as he tried to open his eyes. He had so many things running through his head. He saw a strange blur as his eyes began to come into focus. He heard a child's voice…no two... THREE voices. He felt some thing on his chest as his eyes finally came into focus. "A lemur?" He mumbled. Oh how noise hurt his head, even the sound of his own voice. The other voices where getting loader. Zuko tried to sit up but started to have some trouble.

"Momo," The three called after the lemur. But they were shocked when they saw…

"Zuko!" Aang said with bitterness to his voice as all three took a ready fighting since.

"Huh?" Zuko heard his name and turned his head on the sand to see who had called him. "You know me?"

"Only a bit," Sokka said with rough tone.

Zuko sat up fully. His head throbbed so bad he couldn't help but clasp his hands to his scalp. He stayed that way for a few minutes.

"Hey guys, isn't kind of weird that he hasn't attacked yet?" Katara pointed out.

"He's just waiting until we let our guard down," Sokka answered her question.

Katara grabbed Aang's hand, "What are you doing," the young monk asked.

"Shhh I want to try something." She said leading the boy closer to where Zuko sat.

A/N: Oh noes a cliff hanger!
