Book One: Water
Chapter 2: The reveal of the Avatar and prophecy
In a very creepy castle like guild Tor and Zack arrive at a room where other cloaked people are talking to each other or having reckless fights and one of them approaches the two and it's another male who has brown eyes, dirty blond semi-long hair with two bangs on his face, and is wearing the same dark grey cloak with the dark red demon shapes with crooked wings.
"You two report late. Where is Lucy?" The blond male asked and voice is both deep and impatient.
"Good news, we found her and we had her. The bad news is that the other Fairy Tail wizards she was with interfered and she...tossed herself off a cliff." Zack said rubbing the back of his head and smiling sheepishly.
"YOU IDIOT!" The blond male shouted as he delivers a huge punch at Zack sending him flying across the room and then Zack crashes against the wall.
"Calm down, Luke. For all we know, she could still be alive." Tor said.
"If you were competent enough, then maybe she would've still lived. If you say she's still alive, find her and if you come back without her again, you both will be in for punishment." Luke warned.
"Oh, crap! I hate being punished!" Zack said.
"Luna, Zane. Help them." Luke commanded.
"If you say so." Luna said and she's a female with yellow eyes, long black hair with two ponytails tied to the back of her head, and is wearing the same dark grey cloak with the dark red demon shapes with crooked wings.
"Finally, I get to do something." Zane said and he's a male with green eyes, silver messy hair, orange crossbones on his forehead, and is wearing the same dark grey cloak with the dark red demon shapes with crooked wings.
"If you don't bring Lucy to me, I'll find her myself." Luke said.
"Relax. We can find one weak little girl. Zack couldn't handle it because he's an idiot." Luna said.
"Shut up." Zack said.
"Let's go." Tor said and they leave the room.
Meanwhile in the village of the Southern Water Tribe the villagers see Aang, Lucy, and Katara walking to the village and the children are excited to see Aang again and when they get close to the village entrance the children run to Aang.
"Yay! Aang's back!" The children happily as they start hugging Aang.
"I knew it! You signaled the Fire Navy with that flare! You're leading them to us!" Sokka said pointing his finger at Aang.
"Aang didn't do anything. It was an accident." Katara said defending Aang.
"Yeah. We were on this ship and there was this booby trap and we...kinda boobied right into it." Aang said rubbing the back of his head.
"Look, we didn't mean to set it off." Lucy said.
"You stay out of this! I knew there was something weird about you this whole time!" Sokka said pointing his finger at Lucy.
"YOU be quiet!" Lucy shot back.
"Katara, you shouldn't have gone on that ship. Now we'll all be in danger." Gran Gran said.
"Don't blame Katara. I brought them there. It's my fault." Aang said.
"Ah-ha! The traitor confesses! Warriors, away from the enemies! Those two foreigners are banished from our village!" Sokka declared as the children walk away from Aang.
"Sokka, you're making a mistake!" Katara said.
"No! I'm keeping my promise to Dad. I'm protecting you from threats like them!" Sokka said pointing at Aang and Lucy.
"Aang and Lucy are not our enemies! Aang has brought us something we haven't had in a long time...fun and Lucy is a kind person who just wants to look for her friends." Katara said.
"Fun? We can't fight Firebenders with fun! And her 'friends' could be Fire Nation spies like her!" Sokka said.
"Your paranoid attitude is getting on my nerves already." Lucy said.
"Get out of our village! NOW!" Sokka demanded.
"Gran Gran, please don't let Sokka do this." Katara said.
"Katara, you knew going on that ship is forbidden. Sokka is right. I think it's best if the Airbender and the girl leave." Gran Gran said.
"Fine! Then I'm banished too! Come on, guys!" Katara said taking Aang's and Lucy's hands and they walk away.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Sokka demanded.
"To find a Waterbender! Aang is taking me to the North Pole and I'll help Lucy search for her friends!" Katara said.
"Great!" Aang said.
"Katara! Would you really choose them over your tribe? Your own family?" Sokka asked making Katara stop.
"Katara, I don't want to come between you and your family." Lucy said.
"Neither do I." Aang said.
"So you guys are leaving? This is...goodbye?" Katara asked.
"Thanks for penguin sliding with me." Aang said.
"Yeah. It was actually fun." Lucy said.
"Where will you guys go?" Katara asked.
"Guess I'll go home and look for the Airbenders." Aang answered walking to Appa. "Wow. I haven't cleaned my room in a hundred years. Not looking forward to that. Or I can help Lucy find her friends." Aang said.
"Really?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah. They ought to be around somewhere right? We'll find them in no time." Aang said as he Airbends himself on Appa.
"Thank you, Aang." Lucy said as she gets on board Appa.
"It was nice meeting everyone." Aang said.
"Let's see your bison fly now, Air boy." Sokka said crossing his arms.
"C'mon, Appa. You can do it. Yip yip!" Aang said and Appa gets on his feet.
"Yeah. I thought so." Sokka said.
A little girl runs over to Appa and stands next to Katara.
"Aang! Please don't go! I'll miss you!" The little girl said as tears flows down from her face.
"I'll miss you too." Aang said sadly and he and Lucy look at Katara one more time. "Come on, boy." Aang said and Appa starts to walk off.
Katara watches them go and the little girl walks away crying and Gran Gran walks over to Katara.
"Katara, you'll feel better after..." Gran Gran was cut off by Katara.
"You happy now? There goes my ONE chance of becoming a Waterbender!" Katara snapped as she walks away leaving a shocked and regretful Gran Gran.
"Okay, ready our defenses! The Fire Navy could be on our shores any minute now!" Sokka said leading the little boys back to the village.
"But I gotta..." A little boy was cut off by Sokka.
"And NO potty breaks!" Sokka said pointing the little boy to the village.
Meanwhile in a frozen wasteland outside the village Appa is still walking through with Aang and Lucy looking around for her friends until Appa decided to take a rest and lays down.
"I guess Appa needs a break." Aang said as he gets off the bison.
"Let's let him have one." Lucy said. "We'll keep searching later." She added.
"Okay. By the way, Lucy, what do your friends look like?" Aang asked.
"Well, Natsu has spiky pink hair and he wears a sleeveless waistcoat while Gray has black hair and he wears a white shirt with black pants...he also likes being in his boxers." Lucy said.
"His boxers?" Aang asked raising one eyebrow.
"He has a habit of taking off his clothes." Lucy said.
"Why?" Aang asked and Lucy shrugs.
"It's a habit. Anyway, Erza has scarlet hair and wears knight armor and Happy is a blue furred cat." Lucy said.
"Okay then. Let's keep searching." Aang said.
"Okay." Lucy said but then they hear something and they turn to see a ship heading over to the village and they see the village from the horizon.
"Oh, no! The village! You guys stay here!" Aang said.
"Wait! What's going on?" Lucy asked.
"That ship could be a Fire Navy like the villagers said." Aang said as he runs off.
"I should do something too. Stay, Appa." Lucy said and Appa rumbles in response as Lucy runs off as well.
Meanwhile Sokka prepares for battle and puts on his war garb which are fingerless gloves, arm wraps, boots, and face paint while Zuko is in his ship and he is helped into his armor by his crew and his armor has a breastplate, shoulder guards, and a helmet and after Sokka prepares himself he heads out and stands on an ice wall of the village looking out for the Fire Navy and while he's looking out there is a rumbling noise and the ground starts to shake and parts of the wall Sokka is standing on begins to crumble and he sees his watchtower crumbling down as well.
"Aw, man!" Sokka whined.
People then start running which way to go to and Katara is among them but she sees something in the mist and Sokka sees a massive shadow emerging from the mist and it's revealed to be the Fire Navy much to Sokka's shock.
"Ohhhh, man!" Sokka said.
The Fire Navy has cut through the ice all the way to the ice village wall and while this is happening Katara puts Gran Gran in a tent to hide and she also gets a little girl and puts her in a tent as well and turns to look at Sokka who is still standing on the ice wall as the Fire Navy ship makes its way to the ice wall and Sokka prepares himself.
"Sokka! Get out of the way!" Katara called.
The Fire Navy ship reaches the ice wall and it falls to ice and snow tumbling back to the village and is carrying Sokka in the snow and the ship has come to a stop and the villages emerge from their tents and look at the ship in awe and Katara takes a deep breath and Sokka does the same thing as he sees the ship and the metal on the bowsprit starts to open and folds down to the village ground and the bowsprit is now a gangplank and Sokka backs away to avoid getting crushed and the ship shows Zuko and Fire Nation soldiers and Zuko walks down the gangplank and his soldiers follow him but Sokka gets up, takes out his weapon and charges at Zuko but Zuko easily kicks him away sending him to a pile of snow and he struggles to get out and while Zuko is walking off the gangplank the villagers draw back in fear but Zuko and his soldiers reached near them and Zuko looks at the villagers and then at Katara and Gran Gran.
"Where are you hiding him?" Zuko asked but no one answers him and so he reaches for Gran Gran and grabs her and puts her in front of the villagers. "He'd be about this age? Master of all four elements?" Zuko asked but no one still answered and Zuko just threw Gran Gran roughly back to Katara who glares at him and Zuko lets out a flame over their heads making them cower in fear. "I know you're hiding him!" Zuko said.
Sokka then finally frees himself out of the snow, gets his weapon, and charges at Zuko again but he dodges Sokka's charge and flips Sokka over his head and Zuko bends a flame at Sokka who rolls out of the way and he throws his boomerang at Zuko who avoids it making the boomerang go all the way to the sky and he turns back at Sokka angrily.
"Show no fear!" A little boy said tossing Sokka a spear and Sokka takes it and charges at Zuko.
Zuko easily breaks off the spear shaft and after breaking the head of the spear Zuko takes it and starts bonking Sokka's head a few times knocking Sokka to the ground and he rubs his head after being bonked and Zuko breaks the spear in half but then the boomerang Sokka threw reappears behind Zuko and it struck Zuko in his head messing up his helmet but he fixes it and he glares angrily at the villagers and he makes two fire daggers and walks over to the villagers.
"I'm through playing! Since you won't tell me, I'll have to..." Zuko was cut off by a voice.
"STOP!" A voice shouted and it's Lucy who arrives at the village and blocks Zuko's way trying to protect the villagers and the children cheer at this.
"Lucy! You came back." Katara said.
"You bet I did. Glad I'm not too late." Lucy said.
"Get out of my way!" Zuko demanded.
"Absolutely NOT!" Lucy snapped making Zuko snarl in anger. "Leave them alone or you'll have to answer with me!" Lucy said.
"I doubt you're the Avatar. You're not who I want. Now leave." Zuko said.
"Avatar?" Lucy asked confused. "Look, buddy, I don't what you're talking about, but trying to burn down a village and killing these people isn't gonna help you with anything." Lucy said.
"Shut your mouth, you filthy maggot!" Zuko yelled.
"Okay. I tried to give you a friendly warning, but I guess there's no other option. I'll make you leave by kicking your butt." Lucy said but Zuko scoffs.
"You can't even kick a ball, little worm." Zuko replied. "I won't say this again, get lost before I..." Zuko was then cut off by a big kick in the face delivered by Lucy sending him flying to where the Fire Navy ship is still at and the villagers where shocked including Katara, Sokka, and Gran Gran.
"I'd watch my mouth if I were you, Scarface. NO ONE talks to me like that!" Lucy yelled.
"You...!" Zuo said angrily and Lucy takes out her whip.
"I won't say THIS again, get out of here before worse things will happen to you." Lucy threatened.
"I will not be humiliated by some random girl!" Zuko yelled as he Firebends at Lucy who dodges and attacks Zuko with her whip but Zuko moves out of the way and tries to punch Lucy but Lucy grabs his arm and puts it behind his back and Lucy pins him to the ground.
"I hope you're done now. You know, you are kinda hotheaded like a friend of mine." Lucy said but Zuko manages to free himself from Lucy's grip and tries to kick her but she dodges and Lucy delivers a spin kick at Zuko knocking him down.
"Are you all right, sir?" One of the Fire Nation soldiers asked.
"KILL HER!" Zuko shouted but then someone comes from behind Zuko and it's Aang who is riding a penguin to the village and he flies under Zuko sweeping his legs under him and Zuko lands on the ground with his butt up and his helmet lands on his behind and the children cheer at Aang's arrival and when Aang banks snow was dumped on the children but they still cheered and the penguin stops sliding and Aang gets off.
"Hey, guys. Hey, Katara and Sokka." Aang said.
"Hey, Aang. Thanks for coming." Sokka said.
"You alright, Lucy?" Aang asked.
"Yeah. Looks like you're just in time to get this maniac out of here." Lucy said and Aang looks at Zuko who gets up and the soldiers attack but Aang lets out gusts of wind to blow the soldiers away and then he uses wind to blow snow at Zuko.
"Looking for me?" Aang asked.
"YOU'RE the Airbender? YOU'RE the Avatar?" Zuko asked shocking the villagers including Katara and Sokka and Lucy.
"Aang? The Avatar?" Lucy asked both surprised and still confused.
"Aang?" Katara asked.
"No way." Sokka said.
"This is unbelievable. I've spent years preparing for this encounter, training and meditating. You're just a child!" Zuko said.
"Well, you're just a teenager." Aang replied.
Zuko blasts fire at Aang who gets rid of it by spinning his staff in front of him and Zuko bends another flame but Aang spins his staff again but he sees the villagers cowering and he knows he can't protect them if this fight continues.
"If I go with you, will you promise to leave everyone alone?" Aang asked and Zuko nods.
"NO!" Lucy shouted as she kicks Zuko again knocking him down.
"Enough of this! I'll kill you and take him." Zuko said as he was about to bend fire again at Lucy who prepares herself.
"Wait, Zuko!" A voice said from behind and it's Iroh walking down from the gangplank.
"What do you want now, Uncle?" Zuko asked.
"The girl you're fighting now looks awfully familiar..." Iroh said.
"We don't know her, Uncle. We've never even met." Zuko said.
"I actually like to keep it that way." Lucy said and Zuko goes for her but Iroh stops him and Iroh takes a closer look at Lucy. "What?" Lucy asked.
"It cannot be...she resembles the one from the prophecy." Iroh said.
"Prophecy?" Lucy, Aang, and Zuko asked at the same time and the villagers are confused by what Iroh just said including Katara and Sokka except for Gran Gran for some reason.
"What prophecy are you talking about, Uncle?" Zuko asked.
"Sometime ago, I heard of a prophecy that not only the Avatar is supposed to end the war, but someone else is supposed to assist him in keeping balance to the world. I decided to find out this prophecy to see if it was true and I actually found it and it said that a girl who is not from here known as the Celestial Mage must help the Avatar in protecting the world and defeating the Fire Lord to stop the hundred year war. Some people believed in that prophecy and some believed and hoped that this Celestial Mage would come to this world and restore balance with the Avatar." Iroh explained.
"Celestial Mage?" Aang asked confused and he looks at Lucy who makes a shocked face.
"And what makes you think SHE'S this Celestial Mage?" Zuko asked pointing at Lucy.
"She looks exactly like the girl I saw in the prophecy, Prince Zuko." Iroh said.
"Really? Why don't you prove it to me? Show me what you can do, 'Celestial Mage'." Zuko said to Lucy.
"Uh, about that. I don't have my Celestial Keys to prove anything. I lost them when I got here." Lucy said.
"The what keys?" Zuko asked.
"The Celestial Mage carries keys known as the Celestial Keys. She uses them to summon beings known as Celestial Spirits to assist her in battle or any other means." Iroh explained.
"How does he know this?" Lucy asked in her mind.
"And this 'Celestial Mage' is supposed to help the Avatar end the war and restore balance?" Zuko asked.
"That's what the prophecy said, my nephew." Iroh answered.
"In that case, you'll be coming with me." Zuko grabbing Lucy's arm and starts dragging her.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let me go!" Lucy yelled struggling to break free from Zuko.
"Men, take the Avatar!" Zuko commanded and the soldiers cuff Aang and they takes his staff and lead him to the ship.
"No! Let them go!" Katara yelled as she rushes to them.
"It's okay, Katara. We'll be okay." Aang said.
"Yeah. Hopefully." Lucy said as she stops struggling.
"Head a course for the Fire Nation! I'm going home!" Zuko said as he's still dragging Lucy aboard the ship while the soldiers lead Aang to the ship and the bowsprit rises back up and Aang and Lucy look at Katara one more time before the bowsprit closes and the ship starts to leave.
After what happened in the village with Zuko invading the village the villagers start cleaning by tending to the fire and re-raising the tents and while this is happening Katara is at the water's edge looking at the horizon and Sokka walks by while carrying some items.
"We need to go after that ship, Sokka. Aang and Lucy saved our tribe and now we need to save them." Katara said.
"Katara, I..." Sokka was then cut off by Katara.
"Why can't you just accept they're on our side? If we don't help them, no one will. I know you don't like Aang or Lucy, but we owe them and..." Katara was cut off by Sokka.
"Katara! You gonna talk all day or are you coming with me?" Sokka asked showing her a canoe that's ready to go.
"Sokka!" Katara said as she hugs him.
"Get in. We're going to save Lucy and your boyfriend." Sokka said.
"Aang is not my..." Katara was cut off by Sokka.
"Whatever." Sokka said as they were about to enter the canoe.
"What do you two think you're doing?" A voice asked behind them and Katara and Sokka turn to see Gran Gran and they look innocent and Gran Gran smiles. "You'll need these." She gives them each two bundles. "You two have a long journey ahead of you. It's been so long since I've had hope, but you brought it back to life, my little Waterbender." Gran Gran said hugging Katara and she turns to Sokka. "And you, my brave warrior, be nice to your sister." Gran Gran said hugging Sokka.
"Okay, Gran Gran." Sokka said.
"Aang is the Avatar and he's the world's only chance and Lucy is the Celestial Mage of the prophecy and she's destined to aid Aang in ending this war. You both found them for a reason and now your destinies are to intertwine with theirs." Gran Gran said.
"There's no way we're gonna catch a war ship with a canoe." Katara said and they hear a groan and they see Appa coming to them. "Appa!" Katara cheered running to the bison.
"You just love taking me out of my comfort zone, don't you?" Sokka asked.
Meanwhile on Zuko's ship Aang and Lucy are on deck and their hands are tied behind their backs and they face Zuko who examines Aang's staff.
"This staff will make an excellent gift for my father. I suppose you wouldn't understand fathers, being raised by monks." Zuko said to Aang and he turns to Lucy. "If you're really this Celestial Mage Uncle said, then you must be an enemy of the Fire Nation. Take the Avatar to the prison hold and take this 'Celestial Mage' to the interrogation room and get any information from her." Zuko ordered and two guards escort Aang down the stairs while the other two guards escort Lucy to the different direction of the ship. "Uncle, take this to my quarters." Zuko said giving Iroh Aang's staff and Zuko walks away.
"Hey, you mind taking this to his quarters for me?" Iroh asked giving a soldier the staff and he takes it.
Aang is in a hallway of the ship being escorted by the guards that are taking him.
"So I guess you've never fought an Airbender before. I can take both of you guys on with two hands tied behind my back." Aang said.
"Silence!" One of the guards ordered.
They stop at a door and one of the guards walks to it and takes out a key and while this is happening Aang draws a huge breath and blows it at the guard with the key against the door knocking him out and the breath also propels Aang backwards to the other guard behind him and they are both blown all the way through the hallway until they crashed into the stairs they came down on and the guards gets knocked out as well.
"I need to find Lucy and my staff." Aang said as he enters the ship and runs down the hall.
The guard that crashed into the stairs by Aang gets up and he runs to the bridge to see the other guards on the bridge.
"The Avatar has escaped!" The guard said and the soldiers on the bridge start moving.
Meanwhile Appa is swimming in the water again and Katara is holding the reins while Sokka is sitting on the saddle being bored again.
"Go. Fly. Soar." Sokka said in a bored voice.
"Please, Appa, we need your help. Aang and Lucy need your help." Katara said.
"Up. Ascend. Elevate." Sokka said still in a bored voice.
"Sokka doesn't believe that you can fly, but I do. Don't you want to save Aang?" Katara asked and Appa makes a sound to respond her.
"What was it that kid said? Yee-ha? Hup hup? Wahoo?" Sokka asked.
"It's 'Yip yip'." Katara said and then Appa responded to that and he lifts himself off the water and into the air. "I did it!" Katara said.
"He's flying! He's flying! Katara, he..." Sokka cuts himself off when he sees Katara's smug look. "I mean big deal, he's flying." Sokka said.
Meanwhile Aang continues down the hall while looking back at his chasers and then he turns back to the front and he sees three soldiers blocking his way.
"You haven't seen Lucy or my staff, have you?" Aang asked and the soldiers attack but Aang runs forward up around the guards bu running up the walls and ceiling in circles and he gets behind them and runs. "Thanks anyway!" Aang called.
Aang arrives at different hallway and he sees a guard blocking a door and when the guard sees him he bends fire at Aang but Aang quickly launches himself at the guard against the door causing it to be opened and Aang finds a room where is Lucy is in and she's being interrogated by the two guards.
"Lucy!" Aang said and the two guards attack Aang but he dodges and he gets behind Lucy and grabs her from the chair and they leave the interrogation room. "Thank you!" Aang called.
"Thanks for the help." Lucy said.
"No problem. I need to find my staff." Aang said.
"Okay. Let's look for it." Lucy said.
The two run through the hallway and they start opening each random door until Aang opens a door showing a sleeping Iroh.
"Sorry." Aang whispered as he closes the door softly.
They keep going through the hallway until they stop at an opened door and Aang sees something.
"My staff!" Aang said as he enters the room and Lucy follows.
When they enter the room the door closes behind them and it's revealed to be Zuko behind the opened door waiting for the two.
"Looks like I underestimated you two." Zuko said as he blasts fire at them.
They barely dodge the fire attack and Aang gasps for air and Zuko shoots more fire shots but Aang rolls under Zuko and gets behind him and while staying behind him Zuko tries to find him without blasting anymore fires until Zuko turns to him and attacks but Lucy attacks Zuko with her whip but Zuko avoids the attack and bends fire at Lucy who backs off and delivers a spin kick but Zuko moves and blasts fires again but Aang quickly grabs Lucy and he creates an air scooter and they start riding around the walls and ceiling while avoiding Zuko's fire blasts until Aang dissipates his air scooter and he and Lucy grab a tapestry off the wall and they start wrapping Zuko around with it and Zuko struggles to get free allowing Lucy to get Aang's staff and gives it to him but then Zuko frees himself by unleashing flames on the tapestry and he attacks again but Lucy uses her whip to grab Zuko's waist and she throws him against a wall and he lands on a mattress allowing Aang to Airbend the mattress up to the ceiling with Zuko still on it and then they both fall back to the ground allowing Aang and Lucy to escape.
On the bridge a deck hatch starts to spin and it's revealed to be Aang and Lucy entering the bridge and they rush to the bridge's observation deck and Aang opens his glider, throws it to the air, and he jumps after it and Lucy follows behind him and Aang catches the glider and Lucy does the same thing but then Lucy turns behind them and they see Zuko behind them jumping after them and when he reaches he grabs Lucy's foot.
"Let go of me, you jerk!" Lucy ordered but then they all fall to the deck.
Aang and Lucy prepare to fight again but then they hear something and Zuko sees something in the sky.
"What is that?" Zuko asked.
They all see a huge creature coming at the ship and Aang and Lucy are smiling at this.
"Appa!" Aang cheered.
Just then Zuko blasts his fires at Aang and Lucy but they dodge by jumping from the fire blasts and they land on different edges on the deck and they regain their balances but Zuko blasts one fire blast at Aang and another at Lucy and although Aang tried to block with his staff the fire blast knocks the staff off his hands making him drop it and the fire blast gets him while the other fire blast gets Lucy despite her trying to avoid the attack and they both fall overboard.
"Aang! Lucy!" Katara cried.
"Oh, no!" Sokka said.
Aang and Lucy are underwater and are both sinking.
"Aang! Lucy! Aang! Lucy! AANG! LUCY!" Katara shouted and as they heard Katara's final scream Aang's eyes start to glow while Lucy's eyes glow as well and Aang turns around the water reaching the surface while Lucy rises from the water and reaches the surface and after getting to the surface and getting in front of the ship Aang forms a whirlpool of water around him while Lucy glows with white aura around her body and they tower over the bridge of the ship and Zuko looks at them in dismay and fear and the two land back on the deck and Aang makes the water around him spin and attacks Zuko and his men while Lucy summons ten light magic bolts and throws them all at Zuko and his men and Zuko goes overboard and Katara and Sokka see the whole thing in awe.
"Did you see that?" Katara asked.
"Now that's some Waterbending!" Sokka said. "And what was that thing Lucy did?" Sokka asked.
"I'm not sure." Katara said.
Aang and Lucy then get on their knees and Aang's eyes and arrows aren't glowing anymore while Lucy's eyes aren't glowing anymore either and her white aura disappears and Appa lands to where they are and Katara and Sokka run to them to help them.
"Are you two okay?" Katara asked.
"Hey, Katara. Hey, Sokka. Thanks for coming." Aang said.
"Well, I couldn't let you guys have all the glory." Sokka said.
"I dropped my staff." Aang said.
"I got it." Lucy said as she gets up and runs over to get Aang's staff but she gets it someone else grabs it and it's Zuko. "No way, Scarface." Lucy said as she pokes Zuko's head with Aang's staff three times making Zuko let go of the staff and he falls again but he grabs onto a chained anchor with one hand. "Ha! That was for talking smack to me and dragging me forcefully!" Lucy said.
They see the soldiers who are now wet because Aang's water trick getting up and they prepare to attack but Katara picks up water left over making the soldiers back off in fear and when Katara was about to whip them she freezes the water instead and it gets Sokka.
"Katara!" Sokka said.
The soldiers then move forward again but Katara turns back this time and she freezes the water again and the soldiers are frozen this time and she, Aang, and Lucy get on board Appa.
"Hurry, Sokka!" Katara said as Sokka is chipping the ice with his boomerang.
"I'm just a simple guy with a boomerang. I didn't ask for all this flying and magic." Sokka said to himself as he successfully breaks the ice and he runs to board on Appa.
"Yip yip!" Aang said and Appa starts to take off into the sky.
Iroh then arrives at the deck and he sees Appa in the sky and he helps Zuko get back on deck.
"Shoot them down!" Zuko said.
As Appa is flying as he can Zuko and Iroh unleash a huge bolt of fire at the bison and while Lucy, Katara, and Sokka see this happening Aang gets to the back and he swings his staff like a baseball bat followed by a gale of wind making the fireball go at a right angle and it hits an ice cliff nearby and the fireball explodes causing huge ice to fall from the cliff and it falls on the ship damaging it making Zuko gasp in horror and Aang, Lucy, Katara, and Sokka laugh and Appa continues to fly off.
"Good news for the Fire Lord. The Fire Nation's biggest threats are a young boy and a young girl." Iroh said.
"Those two, Uncle just did this." Zuko said addressing the damaged ship. "I won't underestimate them again. Dig this ship out and follow them!" Zuko ordered but he sees some soldiers trying to unfreeze the other soldiers that were frozen by Katara. "As soon as you're done with that." Zuko said and he looks up at the sky.
Meanwhile Appa is flying through the sky and Aang is up front while Lucy, Katara, and Sokka are sitting on the saddle.
"How did you two do that?! The flying, the water, and the white aura. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen." Katara said.
"Guess we just...did it." Aang said.
"I don't even know how that happened myself. I didn't think I'd have that kind of magic." Lucy said.
"So, just to be clear, you're really this Celestial Mage person that old man said earlier?" Sokka asked and Lucy nods.
"Yes. That's right. I didn't realize that I'm supposed to be part of this prophecy where I need to help the Avatar end this hundred year war and I didn't even realize Aang is the Avatar that jerk prince said." Lucy said and Aang turns away.
"Aang, why didn't you tell us you were the Avatar?" Katara asked.
"Because...I never wanted to be." Aang answered and there was a brief pause.
"But, Aang, the world's been waiting for the Avatar to return to finally put an end to this war." Katara said. "Just like the world was probably waiting for the Celestial Mage to arrive and help the Avatar stop the war and restore balance." Katara said.
"How am I supposed to end the war?" Aang asked.
"Well, according to legend, you're supposed to master water then earth then fire right?" Katara asked.
"That's what the monks told me." Aang said.
"Well, if we go to the North Pole, you can master Waterbending." Katara said.
"We can learn it together." Aang said.
"And, Sokka, I'm sure you'll get to knock some Firebender heads along the way." Katara said.
"I'd like that. I'd REALLY like that." Sokka said.
"What about you, Lucy? Are you gonna help Aang?" Katara asked.
"Even if this prophecy thing says I'm supposed to help Aang, I'm not sure. I don't even have my Celestial Keys with me anymore so I'm probably useless." Lucy said.
"That's not true. We saw you putting up a fight against Zuko when he attacked our village." Katara said.
"Yeah. You're also great with that whip and you used that light magic stuff." Aang said.
"Well, even without my Celestial Keys, I'm gonna do everything I can to help you." Lucy said.
"We'll also try and find your friends." Aang said.
"I'd like that." Lucy said.
"Then we're all in this together." Katara said.
"Yep." Lucy said.
"Okay, but before we go to the North Pole, we have some serious business to take care of." Aang said taking out a map. "Here, here, and here." Aang said pointing at locations of the map.
"What's there?" Lucy asked.
"There, we'll ride the hoping llamas then waaaay over there, we'll surf on the back of giant koi fish then back over there, we'll ride on the hog-monkeys. They don't like people riding on them, but that's what makes it fun." Aang said.
"He's so goofy. I guess he's just like Natsu. I'm gonna do whatever I can to help him end the war and it'll probably make me strong to prove to Fairy Tail." Lucy said in her mind as Appa is still flying through the sky.
That's it for Chapter 2. I really hope you're liking this story so far. I'm doing what I can to make this story awesome, I swear. I'll work on Chapter 3, but until then, take care and I'll see you all next time. Bye!
