AN: Sokka may be a little OCC in this chapter...

The next day Mizuki, Shizuka and Kimi were walking on the beach, planning to go to the Kyoshi Warrior training house. It was Shizuka's first time out on the island, and she still got very queasy if they walked too much. Her wound was healing nicely, but some poison still lingered.

Mizuki asked, "So have we decided that this thing Ty-Lee was talking about is Azula breaking out and causing havoc with Ryuji? I think that is it. Wait- what is that over there? Is that my dad? Sokka? Dad is that really you, you have docked!?"

Mizuki ran over to the figure in the distance.

Sokka turned around and shouted, "Mizuki! Where is Suki?"

Suddenly an explosion of fire filled the area that they were heading in. The Training house was destroyed.

"Whoa," Sokka said, "Suki isn't that awesome. What made the big boom? NO! IT CAN'T BE SPARKY-SPARKY BOOM MAN?! NO! HE MUST BE A ZOMBIE!"

Mizuki looked away from her father, he could be so embarrassing. The others had just caught up. Shizuka had run the way over there, so she walked to a bush, clutching her stomach, and puked in the bush.

The teens and Sokka made their way carefully over to the flaming mess that had been a house. Mizuki looked to her right and, to her horror, saw a fire nation soldier with her mother draped over his shoulder in a fireman's hold. Suki was unconscious.

Sokka screamed like a little girl, and the soldier turned around. He launched a fire ball straight at the ground by them, and the world got developed in darkness.
