Ok I mean to usually update about once a week I know I didn't last week but I'm in a lot of activities at school so I got reeeeaaaaaally busy anyway in this it begins at the Ba Sing Se wall and it's not just Azula who was sent but that boy from the prologue! *ominous music* here we go!
Aang looked down at the drill that was, well drilling, into the great wall he stood upon. He couldn't help but let out a shiver at the sight of that terrible drill trying to breach one of the last rays of hope against the fire nation. He stood up from his crouching position and made up his mind. He would stop that drill.
Later after he meets with Katara and Sokka and they're cutting the rails the action that went on between Katara, Sokka, Ty-Lee, Toph, and Mai remains the same.
Aang let out a sigh of relief, he and Katara had finally cut halfway through the final rail, now, if he could reach the outside of the drill then he could make the final move and take this monstrous machine down.
He took a step forward when he shot back when the fine hairs on his arms prickled. Right as he took the leap back a stream of blue fire hit the spot he had been standing. Aang looked up in alarm at the foursome that was leering down at him from a higher beam. There stood the freaky Fire Nation princess Azula, the dagger throwing Mai, the pink and excited Ty-Lee, and a . . . . boy? That was a new addition to the group. For weeks on end the trio of girls had been chasing after them. In fact Azula had become scarily close to capturing Aang, but his friends and surprisingly Zuko and his uncle Iroh arrived, and Azula had to rely on dirty tactics and escaped by shooting flame at Iroh. He hadn't seen her since, until today.
"Wow! You were right Azula it is the Avatar!" Said Ty-Lee appreciatively, as always, "And friends." She added with a smile to Sokka
"Hey" Sokka responded before Katara dragged him off. Aang watched this happen before the boy launched himself at the Avatar, crying out, shooting out streams of bright yellow/red fire from his fists and feet. Aang jumped once again, using his airbending, jumped to the next beam and the next. Avoiding the red and blue fire that was being shot at him from the mystery boy and Azula at once.
Aang decided to to keep avoiding and find a way to the outside of the drill and if needed, fight them outside. He continued jumping and when he finally found a hatch he spun around mid air and let out a blast of air at the advancing fire benders, Azula of course shot back, but to his surprise the boy simply pushed the air away, as if he could control it himself. Strange Aang thought to himself. But he dismissed the idea that he could control the air that was simply impossible. Aang quickly opened the hatch and launched himself outside the drill.
Aang turned around and shut the latch, he bended some rock from below the drill and bended it around the hatch's handle, hoping that would slow down the very strange boy. Aang continued running down the length of the drill, scowling down at the fire emblem that boisterously was painted on the top.
Aang stood near where the drill met the wall and bended out some water from the canteen Katara had given to him before they had split. He used the water to cut an X mark on the drill, it took awhile but it was finally done. Aang was panting when he was done and looked at his handy work.
"Now all I need is_" and suddenly a large boulder the earthbenders from above were chucking, landed right by Aang "actually that's exactly what I needed!" Aang exclaimed to Momo who now sat atop his shoulder.
Aang bended the rock so it looked like an incredibly large wedge. He was about to use an air ball to scale the wall, but before he could even create the ball itself a blast of lightning shot out at him, once again only barely missing him, Aang looked back and saw that strange boy and Azula, she stood beside the poised boy who had obviously just shot out the lightning. Azula was smirking at Aang, as if she knew some big secret. Aang frowned despite the fact that he knew Azula loved to trick people and have them fear her. For some reason, he felt like he had known this boy somehow but, there was something off about him, something was just wrong. Aang blasted air once again at them; Azula learned once already and used her fire bending to shoot herself up. But the boy, he simply waved his hand and the air stopped short in its tracks and turned into a regular breeze.
Aang looked on with awe. Who was this boy? Why can he do that to the air? Wasn't he a firebender? A thousand questions about this boy and where he came from streamed through Aang's mind, but he couldn't think much on it, he knew Katara couldn't hold in that muck forever and he needed to get this job done. Aang glared at the strange, temporarily forgetting Azula, that is until her trademark laugh was heard from above him he had a moment's notice before the fire was shot down at him, he used the air to stop it by creating a quick vacuum and sucking out the oxygen from the fire, a trick he had learned from the old Air Nomads.
Azula simply shot more blasts of burning blue fire at him. Aang was pushed back against the wall, ouch! He thought, wincing in pain. Aang bended the wall behind him to make a somewhat full body armor made of rock and charged the two, the battle continued for a long time. Aang didn't pause till he realized the boy had stopped attacking. Aang shot three rocks at Azula and glanced around trying to find him. When he did Aang, sucked in loudly in a hiss, the boy was. . . . earthbending? What? How? More importantly at that moment he was trying to bend the wedge from the lodge Aang had put it in.
Aang got mad and from the boulders that were being thrown at them he picked one and shot it and a blast of air, at the boy, well not at the boy but close enough to knock him back. Which it did. The boy shot very far back, through the air, and to Aangs horror, his head hit the control tower on the drill. The boy wasn't moving, Aang started hyperventilating, was the boy dead?
Suddenly a blast of fire hit Aangs unprepared back, which was covered in stone, but Aang hit the top of the drill hard. He stood up and turned away from the motionless body of the boy. He looked up at Azula and shouted "You're teammate is lying there unmoving? Why are you fighting me?!"
She smirked and shouted "him? That simple tool? If he dies from that pathetic blast then he deserves to die, better that than be useless to the Fire Nation!"She laughed out the last words and shot blast after blast at Aang. He couldn't hold back his anger at her betrayal of her own people, and suddenly Aang was shot into the Avatar state, he knew what was happening, unlike other times for some reason. He could comprehend everything that was happening, he watched as his Avatar self shot Azula back. He watched on as he turned to the wedge and with a push of his hand, it was blasted through the metal exterior.
The muck that had been built up finally escaped through the seams of the drill. Aang calmed down and was released from terrifying state. His head as always was pounding, he turned around and his eyebrows shot way up. Any hurt he had was quickly forgotten as the eyes of the boy that had fallen, were dimming from its brilliant shining that was there a second ago. Aang gasped as the boy quickly turned into a charred corpse. Had. . . . . . had Aang killed him? Aang couldn't hold it in, he vomited on the muck that was spilling from the drill. He backed away, running, he couldn't get away fast enough, he used his airbending to shoot him further and he kept running, his stomach churning from the gruesome scene that he had just seen, he had the scene replaying in his mind, the boy with blood trickling from his head and mouth, his eyes dimming away from the brilliant light, and finally him tuning charred, the skin becoming black, and the stink of burned flesh that had risen to his nose. Aang couldn't deal with it. He continued to run, he didn't stop till he had run around the entire of Ba Sing Se at least twelve times. When he had finally stopped he was standing on the outer wall looking at his friends. Tears streaming from his eyes and his throat burning he rasped out, "I killed him." Before he blacked out he could feel his friends grabbing him and keeping him from falling to the hard rock.
Daiyu Tao shot out of her bed of leaves, she was gasping for breath. She rushed over to a nearby stream, trying to wash away the nightmare, and that last image of a charred boy with smoking skin.
Ok so it's a little gross, don't worry Aang didn't really kill him, he was already dead, that's why he never got a name, Thank you for the reviews! And I'm going to try to keep updating each week hopefully, if I don't sorry I'm a really busy girl! Oh and the girl's name in Chinese means Black Jade Peach- peach is a symbol for long life.
