Chapter 2: Things Change

Ok here is Chapter 2 hope you enjoy. I don't own avatar or anything in it.

Appa swooped down and we landed behind the old motel at the end of town. I got off and walked around slowly and quietly then went back to were Appa and everyone else was. I peeked into the window to see my mother sitting next to Sifu Attesa reading a book. I looked all around the room to make sure they were alone then knocked on the window. She looked back quickly jumping and putting the book under her bed. She smiled when she saw me and a tear ran down her eye. She got up and opened the window then I climbed in followed by Aang, Oro, Katara, Radice, Sokka, Zoret, Toph and Momo then Appa sighed and looked through the window with one eye. "I'm so glad to see you." Said my mother a stream of tears running down her cheeks. I hugged her tightly "Mother this is the avatar his name is Aang, that's Sokka, that's Toph and that's Katara. Oh yeah and that's Momo." I said. "I'm training the avatar in fire bending so he can be ready to defeat Fire Lord Ozai." I said. "That's great, things aren't going so good here." Said mother. "I can see where is Resistenza and all of the other fighters?" I asked

"Well the first time the Fire Nation attacked Resistenza and a few other fighters beat them. But after that a spy for the Fire Nation found out about the fighting tournament so they sent soldiers to come and capture everyone right after the fight when they were tired." Said my mother. "Everyone went down easily but Resistenza and Sifu Tombe who was with him." Said Sifu Attesa. I sighed sitting down on the bed and placing my hand on my head. "Where are they keeping him?" I asked. No one answers and my mother sighs. "Argento, we've lost the whole family. Everyone has left and the remaining family is being held captive. I don't want to lose anyone else." She said. "Sifu Attesa tell her we have to fight." I said knowing Sifu Attesa would stand up for me as he did before again and again. "I'm sorry Argento but I think your mothers right." He said. "Fine I'll go find him on my own." I said walking towards the door. "That's the kind of reaction that will get you caught too." Said Toph. I stopped not turning around just listening to what this small girl had to say. "You have to." She said "Wait and listen." Said both her and the voice at the same time. Just then I noticed that there was a red hue to the room.

I walked around to see everyone suspended in time then I looked over at the man from the dreams. "Who are you?" I asked. "Do you still not know?" He asked back. "I know your connected to me and I know your connected to the avatar but no." I said. "Well I don't think your ready for that yet. Argento I chose you because your patient, forgiving, brave, caring, powerful and you have control over your power and anger." He said. "Just know you made a mistake that I did not like, for a while I haven't had to come here to speak to you but now your making mistakes. I want them to end." He said. "I understand." I say looking down. "How are me and Aang connected?" I asked. "Well, lets just say you were cut from the same cloth. You will have to learn that part on your own. You need Aang and Aang needs you. Right now Aang is vulnerable and you and he are like Yin and Yang until he's ready to fight Ozai." He said. I looked down thinking, 'what does he mean?'. Just then he started to move as if he were making lightning except he was going a lot slower and slightly shaking. Then he pulled back and shot yellow lightning at me.

I leaned back and it almost touched my shirt. "How did you to that?" I asked. "When your making lightning go a lot slower and keep all of your muscles very tense. It should hurt a little, its a lot slower than lightning and a lot stronger too. If you ever hit your target you will kill him instantly without question. No matter who it is. Though its almost impossible to hit someone with it. Your not a murderer though, and I don't expect you to become one. So why am I teaching you this." He said. Just then I was snapped back into reality. "Your right Toph, we will wait. But me and Aang need to go outside and talk for a minute." I said. "Do you really think I'm that naive." Said my mother "I'm not going anywhere just need to talk to Aang, right Toph." I say. "Yeah, he's telling the truth." She said. I walked towards the window and Aang followed closely behind. "Where are we going to hide Appa?" I ask as we get out the window. "You called me out here for that?" He asks. "Not really, when Toph was talking everything stopped. Then I was talking to some guy who I always talk to in my dreams. The one who said I would save you. He taught me how to do a new type of lightning which I can't use because its very slow and will kill anyone. And he said I was connected to you and we make a balance for now." I said

"What does he looked like?" Aang asked. "Well he's old and has gray hair, he has a Fire Lord crown and he's definitely a Fire bender." I said. "That's probably avatar Roku he talks to me too. But when he talks to me time doesn't stop." Said Aang "Then what happens?" I asked "I just go to the spirit world. Everyone here is moving and spirits there are moving though spirits can see us and we can't see them all the time." Aang said. "I've been trying to figure out who this man is for years and you just told me in five minutes. Thanks Aang." I said laughing as we climbed back into the window. "What is it you wanted to talk about?" Asked Toph. "Well if I wanted you to know I wouldn't have asked Aang to come outside." I said. Toph scowled at me and then looked back to Sifu Attesa and my mother. "The Fire Nation will see the air bison so we must attack at about four AM." Said Sifu Attesa. "So get some rest and we will wake at three then move out into the town. He's being kept in the center of the fighting ring." Said Sifu Attesa. "Who lead the attack?" I asked. "A ruthless young general. He looked to only be about your age. His name was Vrees Medo." Said Sifu Attesa.

"He was a very powerful Fire Bender and he attacked without mercy. His stance, movement, attack, breath everything was perfect." Said Sifu Attesa. "From what we heard he destroyed everyone easily. He just walked into the arena and started to shoot fire into the crowds. No one survived, then the fighters attacked." Said mother. Just then everything stopped I looked around to see Aang looking at me the same way. "Now I know what you mean, everything's just frozen." Said Aang. "Yes, because Argento cannot yet come to the spirit world. Though it may be possible some day." Said Avatar Roku. The man who had been speaking to me in my dreams. "I want to show you something. Something horrible." He said.

I blinked and I was standing in the middle of the battlefield I had fought in so many times. Resistenza was there and he was fighting a tall, slim woman with two yellow braids. She ran at him then jumped into the air doing a front flip over him. Resistenza jumped back and caught her bridal style in his arms then threw her back up into the air. She struck her feet straight down at Resistenza who stayed steady until blades came out of the sole of her shoe. Resistenza ducked and dived out of the way. The blades cut into the stone ground then she pulled her feet up one at a time pulling the blade back into her shoe. She ran at Resistenza full speed and then did a front flip though this time she didn't go high or finish the flip. She straightened herself out and her feet were pointed right at Resistenza. He pushed her feet up avoiding the blades. She landed on her hands then back to her feet. He ran at him again then did a roundhouse kick he grabbed her arm with one hand then shoved her onto her back.
She fell then looked up with anger in her eyes.

She pushed off of her hands and launched unrealistically into the air feet first. Resistenza ducked then wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and slammed her into the ground knocking her out. Just then everything flashed and Resistenza and the girl were standing back to back with about twenty people surrounding them. The people charged and the girl jumped into the air then Resistenza started to knock people out with one punch at a time. Then the girl knocked two men out landing on their heads then kicked several men in their groins. After a couple minutes everyone was knocked out and both Resistenza and the girl where tired and somewhat bloody.

They looked at each other then smiled then a beam of fire hit the girl. Everyone looked back to see a young man without a hair, pimple or mark on his face. He was about 5"7 and slim. His face was fierce and emotionless. He got down with his legs spread and I knew what Sifu Attesa meant about his perfect stance. He shot fireballs into the stands at the spectators with speed and power.

People in the crowd shrieked in terror as their friends and family members were all being brutally murdered. I looked at Aang and we both ran to attack this man. Then we went straight through him
"We must be in the spirit world." Aang said, "But isn't this the past. I think Roku is just showing us this in a dream." I said. "Your right." Said Aang. Resistenza ran at the man with rage in his eyes the man shot a fireball at him and he twisted out of the way gracefully. The guy swept and Resistenza jumped over the flame and spun in the air doing a tornado kick at the guy. "So this is Vrees Medo." I said aloud. Vrees Medo ducked and blasted Resistenza with a fireball sending him flying into the wall and knocking him out. Then he continued his fire into the stands killing innocents a dozen at a time. Just then Avatar Roku brought us back and everyone was standing over us. "You both just passed out." Said Katara. "And it sounded like you were having a pretty rough dream." Said Sokka. "What time is it." Asked Aang. Sifu Attesa called out from across the room. "Two O clock." "Why?" Asked Katara. "Where taking Vrees Medo down." Said Aang.
