The Air Beast Chronicles: The Last Air Nomads

Chapter 2: The Air Warriors

After 100 years of war, there was peace at last. Though there was peace, the fact remained that Avatar Aang was the only living airbender. Or did it?

"Master Ayos," said a trembling Ayobas. "Is something wrong?"

"No, brave Ayobas," answered Master Ayos. "The war is over, but a greater danger awaits the Avatar."

"How can I be of assistance," asked Ayobas.

"Gather the Air Warriors," replied Master Ayos. "Go meet the Avatar at the next full moon in the Fire Lord's Royal Courtyard."

"Yes Master."

"Isn't the moon beautiful?" asked Julie.

"It is," said Aang.

Suddenly a group of warriors landed in front of them.

"Where did they come from?" asked Toph frustrated.

"It is an honor to meet you, Avatar," said the leader, who was Ayobas. He lifted his cloak to reveal his blue arrows. "Master Ayos sent us," stated Ayobas. Ayobas was about twenty-four and had muscular build.

Suddenly a hidden archer shot at Ayobas. He collapsed. The Air Warriors then sent a whirl-wind that brought the archer to his knees in front of the group.

"Jet!" exclaimed Katara.

"He should be cured," said Charles as he walked to the others. "I took out the control signature from his mind. Katara, I suggest you use your waterbending to go heal his other wounds."

"On my way," replied Katara as she walked to Jet.

"So what was wrong?" asked Sokka.

"He had a control signature," said Charles. "Alex, I need to talk to you."

"Sure," said Alex as he walked out with Charles.

"Alex, I'm worried about the signature I picked up," said Charles.

"Wait," said Alex startled. "What signature was it?"

"It was the signature of Le Claw," said Charles.

"LE CLAW!" exclaimed Alex shocked.

"I'll go tell the others," said Charles.

"Ayobas and Jet are okay," announced Katara as Charles and Alex walked in.

"Guys, we have a problem," said Charles heavily. "Le Claw is here."

"WHAT!" exclaimed Ndagana and Georgina.

"Wait, who is Le Claw," asked Aang.

"Le Claw is an old enemy of my father," explained Charles. "He has special abilities, one of them being the ability to control people; the other being the ability to take someone's life force." Charles turned his attention to Jet. "Jet, who captured you?" he asked.

"The Dai Li," answered Jet. "Why do you ask?"

"This means that Le Claw is working with the Dai Li," said Charles, the group were shocked.
