The sky bison graveyard

Taranee and Zuko ran away from Cornelia laughing. Then they stopped to rest.

"All right it worked"1 Zuko said pumping his fists in the air.

"Yeah we lost her" Taranee laughed.

"I…am a genius" Zuko said smugly. Taranee frowned at her best friend.

"Hey genius it was my idea". Zuko smirked at her. "Yeah it was I admit it. But I'm the one who pulled it off".

"With me" Taranee cried. "Oh yeah" Zuko smirked. Then he lunged at Taranee. The two wrestled on the ground for a second before Taranee landed on Zuko pinning him down.

"Pinned ya'" Taranee said smugly. "Okay you win now get off of me"! Zuko cried.

Taranee got up with a smirk. Then Zuko lunged at Taranee again. This time they rolled down a small hill. When they landed Taranee pinned Zuko down. Again.

"Ha pinned you again loser"! She cried triumphantly. Suddenly a geyser erupted nearby sending out steam.

Zuko smiled. "This is it. We made it!" He said to Taranee.

The two looked over the ledge they were standing on and saw hundreds of sky bison skeletons.

"Whoa"! Zuko and Taranee said in unison looking at each other in awe.

"This place is really creepy" Taranee said.

"Totally… Isn't it great"! Zuko said

"We could get in big trouble" Taranee smirked loving how evil she was right now

"I know" Zuko agreed loving this as much as Taranee was. The two kids walked past a skeleton of a huge sky bison.

"I wonder if it's brain is still in there" Taranee said in curiosity.

Zuko smirked. "There's only one way to know". Then he started walking to huge hole in the skeleton. "Come on let's go check it out".

Suddenly Cornelia appeared out of no where and blocked Zuko's path.

"WRONG"!! The girl screamed. "The only checking out you two will be doing is checking out of here"! Cornelia said as she started to led Taranee and Zuko away.

"Aw man" Zuko whined as Taranee's jaw dropped.

"We're WAY beyond the boundary of the Fire Nation"! Cornelia said looking over her shoulder nervously.

Zuko laughed. "Hey look the dumb blonde is scared" He joked to Taranee. (A/N sorry to all you blondes)

Cornelia poked Zuko between his eyes. "That's Ms. Dumb blonde to you ponytail! And right now we are all in very big danger"!

Zuko smirked and walked past Cornelia. "Danger pft! I look on the wild side I laugh in the face of danger. Mwahahahaha"!!

Following Zuko's confident laughter came more sinister and evil laughter. Hearing it Zuko quickly ran behind Taranee and Cornelia.

Out of the hole in the sky bison skeleton came three evil girls.

The first one was a fourteen year old girl with pale skin, black hair tied in a bun, amber eyes and wore dark red robes. Her name was Azula.

The next was a thirteen year old girl with fair skin, chin length black hair, cold blue eyes and wore a blue and yellow dress. Her name was Miranda.

The last was a fourteen year old girl with fair skin, long brown hair tied into a braid, big brown eyes, and wore a two piece pink outfit. Her name was Ty Lee.

Azula smirked when she saw Cornelia Taranee and Zuko.

"Well, well Miranda what have we here"? She asked her friend.

"Hmm I don't know Azula. What do you think Ty Lee"? Miranda asked.

Instead of answering Ty Lee laughed like an idiot.

Miranda smirked. "That's just what I was thinking. A trio of trespassers"!

"And quite by accident let me tell you. A simple navigational error…" Cornelia said gesturing for Zuko and Taranee to leave.

"Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait" Azula said as she stopped Cornelia. "I know you. You're Iroh's little stooge".

Cornelia stepped back offended. "I Miss Thing am the king's major domo" She told Azula.

The three girls were now circling Cornelia, Zuko, and Taranee. Miranda smirked at Zuko. "At that would make you…"

"The future king" Zuko finished for her. Azula smiled wickedly.

"Do you know what we do to kings who step out of their kingdom"? She asked.

Zuko scoffed. "You can't do anything to me". Cornelia gulped nervously. "Uh technically they can. This is THEIR land".

Zuko looked at Cornelia confused. "But Cornelia, you told me they were disgusting, vile, stupid poachers".

Cornelia paled and glared at Zuko. "Ex-nay on the upid-stay" She said hoping no one except Zuko would hear.

However Miranda did hear and turned on Cornelia. "Who you callin' upid-stay"?! She asked angrily.

Cornelia took a few steps back leading Taranee and Zuko with her. "Oh my, my, my, my look at the sun, it's time to go"! Azula stepped in front of her.

"What's the hurry we'd love to have to stick around for dinner" she said sinisterly.

"Yeah we could have whatever's…kidding around" Miranda laughed. Azula and Ty Lee laughed.

"Oh wait I got one, I got one. Make mine a kid sand which what do you think"? Azula asked.

Then she noticed Ty Lee pointing in a certain direction and bouncing up and down.

"Ugh what is it Ty Lee"? Azula asked turning to face the girl.

"Uh hey 'Zula did we order this dinner to go" Miranda asked looking in the direction Ty Lee was pointing.

"No why"? Azula asked. "Cause there it goes"! Miranda yelled.

While Azula Miranda and Ty Lee were having their joking fit, Cornelia Zuko and Taranee had managed to slip away unnoticed and were running as fast as they could to get out of there.

After a minuet Zuko and Taranee stopped to rest.

"Did we loose em'" Taranee asked.

"I think so" Zuko replied. When he looked around her realized something important. "Where's Cornelia"!?

In another part of the graveyard Miranda held Cornelia up like a puppet.

"The little majordomo girl hippity-hopped all the way to the bender boiler" Miranda laughed as she forced Cornelia into a geyser vent.

"Oh no not the Bender Boiler"! Cornelia screamed. Suddenly the geyser exploded sending Cornelia hundreds of feet in the air.

Azula Miranda and Ty Lee fell on the ground laughing.

"Hey" A voice shouted. The girls looked up to see Zuko standing there with Taranee.

"Why don't you pick on somebody your own size"! Zuko cried.

"Like…YOU" Azula shouted.

"Oops" Zuko muttered before he and Taranee ran away.

They darted behind a geyser that was erupting steam. Suddenly Azula Miranda and Ty Lee poked their heads through the steam.

"BOO"! They shouted before bursting into maniac laughter.

The women chased the kids to a hill of bison bones. Zuko got to the top safely.

"Yes I'm safe" Zuko sighed in relief. His relief didn't last long.

"ZUKO"!! Taranee screamed. Zuko turned around to see his best friend sliding down the hill straight towards the bad guys.

The prince picked up a long sharp rock and ran down the hill. He got to Taranee just before Azula could hurt her. Zuko then slashed Azula across the face with the rock leaving a long gash in her cheek and allowing Taranee and Zuko enough time to escape.

The women chased the kids into a dead end. Taranee and Zuko looked back at the three terrified.

"Here kiddy, kiddy, kiddy" Miranda growled as she Ty Lee and Azula walked slowly towards them.

Zuko tried to roar like his father to frighten them off but all that came out was a squeaky croak.

"Ha that was it" Azula laughed. "Who sat on the squeaky toy"? Miranda joked. "Come kid try again" Ty Lee said smirking dangerously.

Zuko took a deep breath and opened his mouth. This time a huge ferocious roar was heard.

"Huh"? Miranda, Azula and Ty Lee said in confusion. Suddenly Iroh came out of nowhere and attacked the women. After a few minuets of fighting Iroh had them pinned down.

"Okay I think that…" Miranda started.

"SILENCE" Iroh roared.

"Look we're really sorry" Azula said nervously.

"If you ever come near my son again…" Iroh threatened.

"Oh t-this is YOUR son"? Azula asked pretending not to have known. "D-did you know that"? She asked Miranda.

"No, no of course not"! Miranda said. Then both girls turned to the last one. "Ty Lee"? They asked hoping Ty Lee wouldn't spill.

Unfortunately for them Ty Lee said. "What are you kidding of course I knew"!

At that Iroh roared louder then ever. "Toddles" Miranda squeaked before she and other girls zoomed off as fast as they could.

Cornelia walked up to Iroh and nodded her approval at him. Her grin disappeared however when she saw the really angry look on Iroh's face.

Zuko timidly walked forward. "Dad I…"

"You deliberately disobeyed me" Iroh said giving his son an angry look. Zuko looked down at the ground sadly. "I'm sorry".

Iroh sighed. "Let's go home" He said sternly.

As they walked off Tarnee took Zuko's hand. "I thought you were very brave".

They didn't know it but sitting on a ledge was Ozai. He had been watching Zuko and Taranee's near demise the whole time. And he was not happy at the outcome.
