Pt.2: TL; DR
Pt.3: Why You Should Read it Anyways
Author's Note: Hello there and welcome! If you do not know this, I should warn you this story is a sequel. However, all you really need is a summary to more or less know what's going on, so here's the thing:
In my last story the Aang gang lands on an island called Kuusai Isle where they're taken in by a kind woman, while a gas leak forces Zuko and his crew to seek refuge on the notorious no man's island of Engoku. While the Aang gang gets great hospitality, Zuko gets nothing more than a shabby hotel room without a bed, window or hygiene. And that's the nicest hotel on the island! Anyways, the Aang gang meets the niece of the woman who took them in, her name is Tsuchi and she's the kind of girl who likes to get down and dirty. She's active but lazy at times and she's the kind of girl who plays by her own rules. She's an earthbender so the Aang gang was going to allow her to join them. Zuko on the other hand, after witnessing a gang fight from his hotel balcony break out in the middle of the street and seeing no one do anything about it, spots a girl on a rooftop who runs when she's almost caught there. Thinking that was oddly suspicious since no one did anything about the street fight, he goes to investigate. As it turns out the girl's a firebender and after Iroh sees her fight of several gangsters single-handedly he invites her on. Sort of weird.
Anyways, guess what??? As it turns out, those two are sisters. And if you're wondering how one turned out to be a firebender and the other turned out to be an earthbender, well they both have both… Daddy was a firebender, mommy was an earthbender... zOMG, bet you didn't get that. Anyways, the Aang gang is accepting of Tsuchi and figure they're killing two birds with one stone. Zuko on the other hand remembers the new girl as the notorious Hiashi, daughter of the traitor Enjou, who married an Earth Kingdom woman and soiled the blood of the Motherland. Needless to say the mother was killed, and so was Enjou, just a couple of days earlier (recently). Well, Hiashi helps Zuko to get the Avatar, vowing that if any of them are going to get out with something it's Zuko. So they catch the Avatar once and Hiashi reunites with her sister but it's not happy, and Tsuchi being so young when her sister left doesn't know what her sister's name is, but Hiashi knows Tsuchi's name. Anyways, the Aang gang escapes and goes to a weird place and find this secret cave with writing on it with a wall that looks like a timeline of every little even that's happened in the history of the war, only it only seems that way because the thing's not their language, but in a code. While investigating inside the cave they stumble upon a small dagger that somehow 'chooses' Sokka as its handler. As it turns out this is a freaky sword that can not only cut through any material with ease, but through space itself!!! They can travel to different worlds! Well they do and Zuko and Hiashi get a hold of a similar knife and so now there's this intergalactic chase going on. Some of the places they go to are as followed: a world where they bend elements too, but it's pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis, terrakinesis, and aerokinesis and they're more like not Asians; a weird cross between Oompa Loompas and Oz; an old France type world in a cave (REALLY big and elaborate cities inside of mountains); a meteor belts like planet; a place run by talking animals that invite good people along… (Right about there Hiashi disrupts the barrier and they get locked out of the next world); an Aztec like world with the language y todo that the Aang gang can't understand (and Sokka meets this princess who he presumably nails after three days. She's the Yue of the story) and ROSWELL NEW MEXICO!!! Hahaha.
Also some side drama for Hiashi and Zuko: just some random bickering and Hiashi gets jumped by three old gangsters Sureiyaa, Shiden, and Gingitsune and almost dies (yeah, Hiashi was in a gang); after losing the Avatar in the next world because Hiashi wasn't there Zuko is ready to throw her off the ship but then decides against it which is about then you really begin to suspect Zuko has feelings for Hiashi. Then Zuko accidently gets invited to an end of the war banquet for any available and high ranking Fire Nation military personnel. You meet some colorful characters: Marukai, or Zuko's ex-fiancé (an arranged marriage to be specific), a brother and his 'Mean Girl' status sister, Xang and Zayika (respectively); a shy tiny boy and his oxymoronic date, Lian and Park (retrospectively, that looks like Linkin Park…); and the Coup de grâce, the accomplice to her father's murder and the man who was supposed to kill her and his obviously abused date, Hykiru and Kurogane. Hykiru is rude and a drunk while Kurogane's a bit suspicious…
Anyways when it comes to Roswell (they speak English, the Avatar people speak Chinese) Hiashi goes to prove herself and takes them on herself. She manages to take them all down (except for Aang who isn't there) but she's intercepted by Azula who's already apprehended Zuko. Azula arrests everyone and throws them into prison. While Katara, Sokka, Tsuchi, Zuko, and Hiashi are in jail, Fire Lord Ozai is mysteriously shot (mysterious because there aren't any guns… and for some reason no one heard anything… and for some reason Fire Lord Ozai didn't fight back…) and after disowning his son, dies and makes Azula the new Fire Lord. While in prison, Katara, Sokka, Tsuchi, and even Hiashi (Zuko was taken out after his father was shot) make a plan to escape and defeat the Fire Lord without Aang. Katara, Sokka, and Tsuchi leave to gather up all their friends from the old worlds to help them out. Hiashi stays behind and convinces Zuko to fight against the Fire Nation to get his throne back. Zuko reluctantly agrees, only agreeing to fight to get his throne back. So Aang comes back while Sokka, Katara and Tsuchi are warding off the Air ships (remember the series finale battle? Yeah, that's it. Except for some tweaking that it…).
In the meantime, Zuko and Hiashi fight against the incoming Fire Nation and Hiashi finds out that of all people, Zhao killed her father. Throughout the story Hiashi has shown mixed feelings to her father, mostly hatred, but instead she viciously attacks Zhao and beats him to death (BTW, that wouldn't be her first kill…) So all is good and Aang gang goes back to Tsuchi's home only to find the whole thing burned to the ground. Tsuchi, after some drama, decided that it was no accident and decided to leave the planet entirely in order to protect everyone. Meanwhile Hiashi and Zuko have a quasi heart to heart conversation and Zuko somewhat proposes to her. She doesn't want to get married to him and says it's not fair to him considering she's a hybrid, but Zuko doesn't take no for an answer, telling her that he can convince her…
The next morning Zuko wakes up to see his floor speckled in blood and skin, but no sign of Hiashi, striking some eerie similarities as to what happened to his dad…
NEHO, the main circulation of this story is based on a rebellion organization formally known as The Universal Resistance, or simply the Resistance. The Resistance is a sophisticated and elaborate fleet of rebels from all four of the nations. Yes, I did say all FOUR. Not three, four. The Resistance believes in strict separation of all nations and therefore hates all mixed raced people and kills them. They're not just killers of mixed blooded people, but of Fire Nation soldiers too, which is why they kill Fire Lord Ozai. The Resistance has also mastered their practices of 'death bending' (manipulating their native elements to kill people), their counterfeit Avatars (manmade by crossbreeding instead of natural; they're very few of them since the crossbreeding has to be specific, and if they're not up to par, then they're immediately killed), and their new form of 'mindbending,' which uses the art of suggestion, hypnosis, and manipulation, as opposed to actual telekinesis.
At the end of the story, about eight years later, you're brought to a small monastery in the Fire Nation where there are three women talking about why they became shrine maidens. It gets late and each parts for her respected huts. You follow one who seems normal, but the Resistance assassin shows up, calling her Hiashi. Hiashi and the masked assassin fight and mid-fight, Hiashi de-masks the assassin, only to reveal it's Kurogane from the party. Hiashi is disarmed and unable to fight back and does her best to plead to Kurogane. Hiashi managed to save her from Hykiru once at the party and she continues to remind Kurogane of it. You can tell Kurogane really doesn't want to kill Hiashi, but she does anyways by stabbing her with a sword laced with nightshade. Before Kurogane leaves, she tells Hiashi she will do her best to protect her family (Hiashi has three kids and a husband) but that she makes no promises. And just as mysteriously as she arrives, Kurogane disappears. With the last of her energy, Hiashi writes on the floor with ink mixed with blood, a final note, and I quote:
"To my family:
To my husband, I love you and thank you for loving me for who I am. To my children I love you, too, and Kuzon, I am sorry for everything. Your father will tell you why. But I only hope you can forgive me.
And to Zuko, I will always regret-
She stopped writing and dragged her thumb through the last four words and instead wrote:
I'm glad you never found me.
Hiashi"
And with those final words written in the floor, she dies.
'-'
TL; DR: In the last fic I wrote, Zuko picks up some chick whose a half breed. He hates her at first but then doesn't and finds out he likes her. After a big epic thing he asks her to marry her, but she leaves without answering. This is the sequel.
And that there is the summary of the story so that way you don't have to read the whole thing. I mean, if you want to, then that'd be freaking awesome, but you don't have to.
'-'
Why You Should Read it Anyways: if you are interested in reading about Zuko and his struggle with women then this is the fic for you. He deals with a wife he doesn't love, a woman he use to love, and the woman he will love. He suffers some heartache, does a little traveling, fights a big fight, you even get a glimpse of future Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Suki, Sokka and Suki in particular play an important role. He then gets into a quasi epic battle, he faces more heartache, but then it ends. So I implore you to keep reading. Thanks and enjoy.
