Okay. You're probably wondering how the cast looks like now, especially now that there are now 2 Aangs in the story. Here's the scoop.

Aang (the original) – He has a messy, black hair which covers almost his entire eyes, grey-hazel eyes, has a height the same as Katara's and acquired a more muscular build. He now wears Earth Kingdom clothes (brown short sleeves, green wristbands, black and green outer vest, brown pants and flat boots with dark brown with green streaks) in order for him to fit in Ba Sing Se.

Aang (Aang's evil duplicate) – Has black hair with side bangs covering his left eye, has a darker and more sinister looking grey eyes, has a height the same as Katara's and acquired a muscular build. Wears the same clothes as the original Aang (except the fact that it is darker).

Katara – She still looks the same and wears the same old green robe she wore when the series ended, but she seems to have stopped growing.

Sokka – He's more buff, and his voice doesn't crack anymore. Hooray! Still wears the same old clothes. Grew about 5 inches.

Toph – Her bangs we're even longer and her hair bun as well. Her height is about Aang's shoulder. Still wears the same clothes, but much cleaner for Katara always washes them secretly.

Chapter 3: Rumors

________________________________________________________________________

Aang woke up, trying his best to get off his bed. His stomach hurts. His face hurts. His entire body hurts. "Mmm…mmmm," he mumbled in sorrow, touching his aching cheek. He put on his clothes and faced the mirror. He can see two of himself, the other one was smirking evilly at him. In horror, he rubbed his eyes and stared at the mirror again. The reflection was gone. "Why is this happening to me?" Aang grumbled and went to the kitchen. He spotted a bowl full of water. He bended the water in the bowl and turned it into ice, firmly placing it on his battered cheek.

"Aang?" a voice called him.

He turned around and saw Sokka standing by the kitchen door.

"You'd better come see this," he told him. Aang followed Sokka to the living room, where Katara was situated on the couch.

"Good Morning, everyone," Toph chirped, banging her bedroom door open. "Hey Aang. Feeling better?"

He continuously rubbed the ice on his cheek. "Yeah. I guess so."

"I'm not sure you're going to be happy about this," Katara told him, handing him a newspaper. He took it and read.

There was a reported robbery last night at an exclusive store in Ba Sing Se costing about 800 000 gold pieces. Witnesses have claimed that it was a teenage boy who committed this crime. Others told us that it was probably one of the members of the Kibuki gang. Some reported that the boy resembled the world's savior; Avatar Aang. But these are rather just speculations on who would be the possible suspect. No one knows who did it; nevertheless, sooner or later he would be brought to justice and to give the prior punishment that will fit to his wrongdoing.

Aang frowned. "Great. He's only been out for one night and he's already causing trouble."

Toph kept on waving her hand. "Uh hello? There's a girl here who can't read!"

Aang read it to her.

"Wow. Your other self's really good. Maybe he's trying to frame you so people will think you're bad," Toph began.

"What are you going to do with him?" Sokka queried.

"I don't know," Aang shook his head. "If people found out that the other me's been causing this I'm dead for sure."

"If there's one thing I know, he couldn't possibly stayed here in Ba Sing Se. He's probably wrecking havoc at some place far away by now," Sokka stated.

Katara nodded. "Then we have to find him. We can't afford to have another one causing trouble in the world again."

Toph slumped at the nearest chair. "Man! The Avatar's job never really ceases. But how are we supposed to stop him? He's just like Aang! Well, literally he is Aang but my point is how are we going to stop a guy who has all of the Avatar's bending abilities? Not to mention, he's evil and cunning."

Sokka studied Aang. "Hmm… he did say he was Aang's hatred. What do you hate Aang?"

He shook his head again. "I don't have the slightest idea."

"This is just perfect!" Toph huffed. "Now Aang doesn't even know what he hates."

"I think we need help. Someone who can deal with his emotional and spiritual problem," Katara suggested.

"Yeah. But who?" Toph exclaimed.

----------Moment of Silence---------

Aang sat up. "Ha! I got it! I know who can help us!"

________________________________________________________________________

"Uh, Aang? Would you mind telling us where we're headed?" Katara questioned. They we're all riding at Appa (with Momo of course).

"No need to tell you," Aang held the reins tightly. "Cause we're already here."

He landed Appa at the ground and helped his 3 friends to get out of Appa's saddle.

"Ohhh…" Toph mumbled. "I hate flying."

Sokka looked around. "So you brought us all the way from Ba Sing Se to a temple? What do you want, a more serene place to meditate?"

Aang strolled down the hallways with the 3 of them following. "We're at the Eastern Air Temple," he said as they we're nearing a balcony. They saw a man sitting silently. He turned around and peered at the four.

"Well, hello there," the old man greeted.

Aang turned to his friends. "Guys, I'd like you to meet Guru Pathik."
