Episode 4 The Flashback
A few days later. Mai had settled into the camp. Katara wasn't very happy, her and Zuko just weren't working. Aang and Toph were getting on very well and Sokka and Suki were very happy together. Things very good kind of...
They were staying outside of Bristol. Some nights they went back to club but Katara didn't really think it was much fun anymore. Aang was still practising the elements but now Zuko was trying to get his memoires back and remember how to firebend. Toph and Katara still were training Aang. Sokka was working out the new plan for taking down Ozai but of course Zuko didn't really remember his dad or his family.
There was a rumour in the town that there was basting jelly being brought through the mountainside near the town. Aang worried whoever was carry it might blast the mountains onto the town. He didn't know who would do it maybe firenation soldiers who wanted to cause trouble or Earth kingdom rebels trying to cause a fight.
Anyway Toph said she'd go check it out, Haru, The Duke and Teo went with her. Aang wanted go but he was training with Zuko. Aang was trying to teach his firebending teacher basic firebending moves hoping it would help his memory.
"Ahww! Gurhhump!" Zuko shouted in frustration as fire blasted at him. "I can't remember it!"
"Come on Zuko, you'll get it back." Mai said as she came over and rubbed her arm on his chest. Katara gave a disgusted look from where she was sitting on a rock. She turned away not wanting to look at them.
Katara started to think about the first few weeks when Zuko first arrived.
Flashback
Zuko walked up to Aang. Katara was standing near him.
"Aang, c'mon it's time for your firebending training." Zuko said Aang smiled at him agreeing. They had just came back from the ancient sun warriors' temple and Aang was now ready to firebend and Zuko learned how to firebend without using his rage. They left the western air temple and were staying outside a small firenation town. There was a river beside them.
"No! Aang still has a lot of waterbending to do. We were just about to go practise." Katara said grabbing Aang's arm pulling him away from Zuko.
"Sorry hotman Zuko." Aang said shrugging as Katara smiled happily.
"No way, you've had ages to teach him waterbending. He still needs to master fire!" Zuko said to Katara. "And don't call me that!" Zuko added turning to Aang who just shrugged.
"Waterbending is just as important-" Katara began.
"He needs to learn fire before he fights my dad! We don't have that much time!" Zuko agued to her, while Aang stood in-between nervously.
"Well maybe you shouldn't have chased us around the world for so long!" Katara shouted. Zuko's face turned red with anger.
"Wait, wait! Why don't you both teach me now..." Aang quickly suggested everyone else more or less accepted Zuko by now except Katara. The tension between them could be so annoying sometimes.
The two of them looked unhappy about it but agreed. Toph and Sokka came over when over hearing them argue again.
"Hey what about earthbending twinkle toes? You still got more to work on!" Toph said as Aang sighed.
Katara waterbend at Aang who waterbend back. The Zuko shot fire at Aang. He dodged it and firebend back.
Zuko shot out more fire, Aang ran jumping into an airbending move he dodged it but the fire almost hit Katara. She angrily shot waterbending at Zuko who fell back wet.
"Hey! You did that on purpose!" Zuko screamed. Katara rolled her eyes. Zuko shot some light fire at her not to hurt her more to annoy and maybe scare. Katara didn't scare easily she just smiled and pulled the water over her head she jumped sending more down on him.
Aang, Toph and Sokka watched as they fought more furiously as they went on.
"I thought they we're training me?" Aang smiled. Then Sokka turned to the Toph and Aang.
"We still need to figure out what we're doing next." He said. Aang thought for a moment.
"Well I guess we need to find Ozai after I've trained enough but before the comet." Aang said as he dodged some water that Katara had aimed for Zuko.
"I think we should find more allies, it won't hurt." Toph said.
"We should reuse Suki, maybe Zuko know where the prison is?" Sokka suggested as Toph and Aang nodded.
Katara and Zuko were still fighting. Aang went over to stop them it was getting ridiculous now.
"Hey c'mon stop!" He shouted and grabbed Katara's arm before she could shoot more water at Zuko.
"Aang he's!... Hurh!" Katara shouted as Aang pulled her away from the rest of the camp into the forest.
"So Zuko what do you know about Firenation prisons?" Sokka asked now that Katara and Aang had left.
"C'mon give Zuko a break. I think he's proven himself." Aang said to Katara. She stood there as if Aang was talking crazy.
"Aang it's just... he's so...so... annoying!" Katara said. Then Aang didn't say anything he stood there not sure what to say. Katara was staring at him. She didn't say anything either.
Then Aang after another moment. "What?" He said a little confused.
"You kissed me?" Katara said softly. Aang blushed red. He knew just before the invasion he had kissed her but he never said anything later about it. She didn't either so he left it. That is until now when she asked.
"Emm, yeah..." Aang said nervously not knowing what to say.
"Why?" Katara asked she looked nervously too. Aang was kind of catch off guard so he went with the truth.
"I love you..." He said quietly looking down at his shoes the glanced up at her.
"Aang..." Katara said slowly she was now holding his hands. Then she learned in and kissed him softly. He could feel her warm lips on his. He smiled as he kissed her back.
When he pulled back he seen she didn't look that happy.
"Aang...I...I really like but...I don't think I feel that way..." She said looking embarrassed. Aang looked upset but he weakly smiled.
"It's okay..." he said softly. He wasn't sure if he really felt anything solid either.
"Still friends?" She asked looking into his grey eyes desperately.
"Of course, best friends!" Aang smiled then they hugged. They might not be together but they were best friends and he decided that was just as good even maybe better.
About a week or more later Katara went into the town to get some food for the group. They were going to be moving soon it wasn't a good idea to stay in one place for too long. Katara went in her old firenation clothes that she had before the invasion.
Yu Yan archers stood in the ally of the street. They watched carefully as a young girl in red clothes walked by then went into a nearby shop. They were holding a flyer they looked down at to see a picture of a water tribe girl in blue clothes that match the girl on the street.
Other archers were hold different flyers one was of the avatar, the other was the fire prince, another was the blind bandit and the last one was a water tribe warrior. They were to capture any of these people for the firenation. The avatar was the most important but the others were his friends and allies plus the royal prince was a traitor.
They were sure this girl was the avatar waterbending girl. They watch her closely and wait until she left the shop. Then catching her off guard they fired arrows at her pinning her to a tree. She couldn't move then it went all black. The Yu Yan put sleeping gas on her mouth and she was out cold.
Zuko and Aang were walking in the town.
"I wonder where Katara went to? She's been gone for hours..." Aang said. Zuko looked at him carful then he seen some flyers on bullion board in the centre off the town, He walked over and Aang followed.
He studied the flyer looked at the picture of himself, Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka. They were all wanted.
Aang looked to Zuko. Aang was wearing his firenation school uniform and his hat to hide his airbending arrow.
"The Yu Yan are after us... Remember last time?" Zuko said as he read the flyer where it said about who to hand over the traitors to if catch. Aang Remembered the time Zhao had him captured him with the Yu Yan and it was actually Zuko who had saved him.
Aang and Zuko went to the edge of the town where they found some of Katara's hair.
"The Yu Yan must have her!" Aang shouted. "We need to go get her!" Aang said determined.
"I think I know where they keep the prisoners around here." Zuko said taking out his Duel swords.
Katara opened her eyes slowly, it was black she blink and sat up slowly. She started through the thick black darkness. Where was she? Was she going to get out? How would Aang find her?? All the questions went through her mind. Then her eyes started to adjusted to the dark. She seen she was in a small cell. The air was dry and there was no ventilation. She couldn't waterbend if she wanted to.
She sat there for what felt like hours maybe more she lost all sense of time. Then the door slid open.
Katara stood up carefully. The door opened full to show a fully dressed Firenation guard. Katara couldn't see his face. He looked at her then slowly he said.
"c'mon..." He walked away from the small cell wanting her to follow. She didn't know if she should, it could be a trap. Who was letting her out and why? She didn't have any other options.
They were almost out of the prison walls. The Guard that let her out had opened the main gate. When another guard grabbed Katara she felt so weak form being in the cell and not having any food. She couldn't waterbend.
"Hey let go of her!" Shouted the guard in rough voice. Katara thought she reckoned the voice. It wasn't Aang or Sokka's Voice.
"Who are you? You're not in our battalion!" The guard holding Katara questioned him angrily.
The other guard pulled out duel swords from his back. Katara realized who it was. Her eyes widened. He ran forward jabbing at the guard to scare him he let go of Katara momentarily Zuko took this chance and her took Katara's arm gently pulling her back.
Other guards came Zuko fought them off with his swords trying to protect Katara. Then he firebend at the approaching guards. Katara watched and felt almost bad as she helplessly watch Zuko defend her. She had been so mean and cruel to him. Now he was here reusing her, risking his life for her. She knew he would be seen as a traitor.
More and more guards were coming. Zuko seen Katara was weak otherwise she would be fighting the guards like she usually does. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her over his shoulder. He ran fast through the still open gate. Katara felt weird him holding her but kind of like it. She liked someone taking care of her.
They were outside the prison near the forest. The guards were chasing after them when Appa flew down beside them. Aang was flying him. Zuko jumped onto Appa's back with Katara still in his arms. Aang flew Appa high as they made their escape.
Zuko took off the helmet slowly. Katara sat in Appa's Saddle Aang was sitting on Appa's head steering.
"That was a great plan Zuko." Aang said happily. Katara looked up.
"It was...Your..." She said her voice a little hoarse. Zuko smiled and nodded.
"Yeah he knew where Yu Yan kept their prisoners until they're sent elsewhere. It was his idea to go in as a guard. I went to get Appa so we could escape." Aang said turning to face Zuko and Katara.
"I don't know how long they would keep you there. I had to be fast; I told Aang beforehand where the prison should be..." Zuko said. Katara smiled at him.
"Thank you. Both of You..." She said to two of them. This was the first time since Zuko joined them that she accepted him and began to trust him.
End of Flashback
Sokka came over to them.
"Hey is Toph and the guys not back yet?" Sokka asked looking around. Aang turned to Sokka.
"No, they're not back, you don't think anything happened to them?" Aang asked sounding worried
"I'm sure they're fine Aang. I was... I just thought...well what if it's a trap?" Sokka said as Aang's eyes widened.
"I mean if they suspect we're here...most of the firenation knows the avatar's alive now." Sokka said but Aang was already gone. They watched as Aang ran up towards the mountains.
"Look what you've done now Sokka!" Katara said as she rolled her at her older brother.
Aang airbended onto a rock and ran up the cliff. He climbed thought the mountains and when got over the cliff, he seen down into the clearing. His face fell in disgust, angry, confusion, betrayal and hurt. He had seen Toph lying on the ground and Haru bend over her. They were kissing. Aang didn't know what to do he felt angry and frustrated he wanted to talk to her but then he didn't. He couldn't look at her. He turned and walked back down the mountains feeling sad and alone.
