Thank you for the support. It's great to finally have fans. If anyone has any ideas I would be willing to listen. And dose anyone know Mai's last name, I need it for later in the story.
Chapter 2
"Zuko, I sense a disaster in the near future. You need to kill Ozai soon." The woman in a dark brown cloak warns Zuko.
"Who are you?" he asks.
"I am your silent guardian, you will know who I am soon." she replies mysteriously.
"Show me your face." he demands.
"You are not ready, but I will see you after the disaster." she says as she disappears.
"Wait, come back." he shouts. Suddenly he feels someone kick him in the side, and he wakes up.
"What a cute couple." June smirks from above him.
"What the hell was that for, June." he says as he shakes Katara awake.
She gets up yawning, and looks around. As June walks up towards her. "Here is the sword you wanted. The swordmaster was more than happy to make it after I told him who it was for. But what was the material he used?"
"It was a meteorite that Sokka used to make his sword." She inspects the sword. It is a dual broadsword, like Zuko uses, exept it was embroidered with bright sapphires, in the shape of the water symbol.
"Why would you want a sword like that?" the bounty hunter asks.
"These swords where designed by the southern water benders. Using them is a lot like bending water."
She sees Iroh and rushes to greet him. "It'd good to finally see you Iroh, and this time no Azula chasing us down."
"Yes, it is a good meeting." Iroh replies with a smile. He looks over at Zuko and smiles.
"So you have seen the light, nephew."
"Yes uncle, I left the fire nation during the Day of Black Sun. I found the avatar and taught him basic fire bending."
"Why not teach him more?" Iroh asks confused.
"He is not ready to fight father. That is why we called you all here. We have a plan to kill father and put someone else on the throne." Zuko replies.
Jong-Jong look at the former prince confused. "Why not put you on the throne."
"I do not want the throne anymore. We need someone else, someone more caring and gentle." Zuko says looking at Katara, who is over grooming Appa.
Iroh nods, also looking at the young water bender girl. "So what is this plan of yours."
"I want you to teach me a forbidden fire attack that only you a Jong-Jong know. I want to know how to shadow bend."
Iroh and Jong-Jong gasp at this. Hama smiles, knowing what it is that he wants to learn. "The fire equivalent to blood bending, why young prince?"
"What is your plan, nephew. You know that is too dangerous." Iroh asks concerned.
"During shadow bending I share life force with my target, right?" Iroh nods. "Then if I die he dies, right?" Jong-Jong nods. "My plan then is to use the attack on Ozai, and have Katara kill me." Everyone gasps at this.
"Zuko, why didn't you tell me this earlier? I refuse to kill you." Katara screams at him.
"Why not? You where ready to kill me when I showed up at the air temple. Katara, this is the only way to defeat Ozai before the comet. Any other attack would end in failure. He always travels with the 501st, the elite fire squad. But with this plan, only I am in danger." Zuko tries to reason with her.
"NO, I WILL NOT KILL YOU!" she shouts, them runs off into the forest.
"Zuko, go talk to her. She needs you right know." Iroh suggests. Zuko nods and runs after her.

"Father why can't I go with you. I'm not like Zuko, I want to be by you side when we win this war." Azula says, freaking out after Ozai tells her she needs to stay behind.
Ozai slaps her across the face. "Azula, calm yourself. I need you to stay here to run the nation, Fire Lord Azula."
"Fire Lord, but what about you." Azula asks confused.
"As this world will be reborn in flames, so shall I. From know on I will be known as the Phoenix King." He shouts as new banners are placed between the old fire nation flags. "And soon even Agni will fall to his knees and worship me."
"Us, father, Agni will bow down to us." Azula responds with a smile.
"Yes, to us. Azula when I leave I need you to evacuate everyone to below the city. When I attack, I don't want your people to die."
"Yes father, but I thought you where just going to destroy the Earth Kingdom."
"I have had a vision of me destroying everything and rebuilding the world in my image." Ozai says.
"Good, but can I make a request, father."
"What is it?"
"If you can, keep Zuko and the water peasant alive for me, I want to kill them slowly for the trouble they have caused me."
"I will bring them back alive, my beloved daughter. But I can't promise Zuko will be completely untouched."
"As long as he is alive, I will be happy."
Ozai boards the airship, and his fleet takes off.

"Dammit, three days and no sigh of Zuko or Katara." Sokka yells at the others. "We can't even find Appa."
"Calm down Sokka, we will find them." Suki tries to comfort him.
"No we won't, he kidnapped my sister. They are probably at the palace now."
"No, Zuko had no intention of hurting Katara." Toph replies. "I asked them what they where doing when they left, and they gave me this." She hands Sokka a letter.
"Why didn't you give it to me before." he yells at the blind earth bender.
"They told me to wait three days." she replies with a shrug.
Sokka reads the letter and hands it to Aang.
My friends, I realize you are mad at me, but we did this for a reason. Aang is not ready to kill Ozai. Katara and I have a plan to kill Ozai and put her on the throne. Don't look for us. Signed Zuko.
Aang gasps. "Put Katara on the throne, why not Zuko?" He asks the others who where just as confused as he is. They just shrugged.
