Hey, more reviews than i thought i will have. Thats great!!. Well, here is chapter 3.

Chapter 3- Gaining power, but losing life.

Katara stared at Aang, failing miserably to put a sentence together, and instead she simply gawked at him.

'Katara...I need you to take my place.'

'Aang...'

'I'm sorry, Katara. There is no other choice for me to make. You are the only thing i have left.'

'But me taking your place as the Avatar?! How? Why? How!'

'You said that already.'

'I know...how? And Why!?' Aang smiled and took Katara's hands and held them in his.

'It is because of the Avatar spirit...its doing everything it can to keep me alive. But soon, not even the Avatar's powers would be enough. And if I die, the world will be plunged into darkness and chaos will rise though out the world.'

'But if i take your power..you will die. And I don't want to lose you.'

'There is no other choice.'

Katara turned around, hugging herself, tears streaming down her cheeks. She felt an odd sensation and opened her eyes to find herself in a different land. She was standing in a field of flowers with a running stream going through it. She turned to stare at Aang, no longer bluish in color, and stared into his stormy gray eyes. She turned away, hugging herself more tightly. She felt Aang's arms wrap around her waist, and put his head on her shoulder, breathing softly into her ear. Her cheeks flushed into a deep scarlet. It was the first time she noticed that he was now her height.

'Aang...'

'It is your choice, Katara.' Silence rang out for the moment that was said, the only sound coming from the running streams and spirit birds in the air.

'I love you, Aang. I'm sorry...I should of told you sooner, but i was scared and confused of the feelings i had for you.'

'It is okay...I will always love you Katara,' Aang said, 'And i will always be with you.'

'I'll do it, Aang. For you...and the world.'

-Living World-

Sokka and Toph stared into the darkness, neither could sleep, nor were they very tired to begin with. Sokka turned to Toph, staring at her face, admiring at her features. No matter what Toph did, she will always have a beautiful face, even in her young age, it was starting to show. Sokka mentally slapped himself, scolding himself for staring at her.

'She is 3 years younger than you! She is barely a teenager!'

Still, Sokka couldn't help but notice her ears twitching ever so slightly

"Is something wrong Toph?"

"Its really weird...Aang's and Katara's heartbeats are in sync with each other, and both are beginning to beat really fast." As soon as she said those words, a swirl of air started to circle Aang, his eyes opened and glowing.

"Oh no! Its Aang's Avatar spirit. Katara! WAKE UP!" But she barely twitched as the winds brushed upon her body. Loose dirt was lifted off the ground, clouding the image of both Katara and Aang, till the could only see the bright glowing eyes of Aang. Sokka turned to Toph, "Quick, Grab Katara with Earth bending."

"Where is she?! I can't feel her anymore." Sokka looked up in horror as the swirling air turned into a fierce Tornado-like vortex, rising higher into the sky. Toph secured themselves by sucking their feet into the ground, and leaned onto Sokka, holding him steady. Sokka lost track of the glowing eyes for a moment, but saw them staring straight at them.

"That is not Aang standing in there." Sokka turned to her, surprised by her comment.

"What!" he turned his head back to the swirling vortex, which was dying and the loose dirt silently falling back to the earth. Sokka couldn't believe at who he was staring at, neither could Toph register who was standing there.

"Katara?"

"No way! That's Sugar Queen!"

Katara's eyes stopped glowing, she quickly did an 180 to find Aang body lying on the ground, voided of any life. Tears sprung from her eyes and she fell to her knees, sobbing. The whole time, a pressure was being pushed against her, The avatar spirit being forced into her body. But... At the same time, she felt an odd sensation in her belly, but thought nothing of it.

"Where is Aang?" Toph knew quite well where he was, but refused to believe it.

"Katara...Is Aang..." Katara nodded her head, looking up at Sokka and Toph.

"He is gone." she said softly.

"No...THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!! THE FIRE NATION IS GOING TO-" Sokka was silence with a hard punch from Toph.

"No its not."

"But Aang is-"

"Dead." Katara slammed her foot into the ground, causing the earth to crack into a spiderweb like design, and holding in her hand was a small vortex of air. "But Aang gave me his power so the world could still have hope. And it lives on through me."

"How?" Toph said. Katara proceeded to tell them after she fell asleep next to Aang. When she finished, both of them were staring at her, dumbstruck.

"So how can you earth bend, or even air bend for that matter?" Sokka asked.

"I...really don't know. Its like i have all the memory's of Aang lessons and Training. It is really weird."

But no fire bending still, huh?" Katara shook her head.

"No...But Aang did show me where we could find one."

"Jeong-Jeong?"

"Even better. Its an old friend of Toph, the one you met in the woods." Toph face lite up with excitement , but Sokka looked worried.

"Not another rescue mission. Do you know how long it takes me to make up a plan just for it to even consider safe or other wise even remotely a slim chance of survival."

"Nope, but start working on it, Idea guy." Toph said, smiling happily.
