A Reunion Gone Wrong

A Hero Always comes Home

Katara walked towards Zoe. She handed her the ying yang necklace.

"You dropped this." Zoe put it back on without hesitation. Zoe looked at Katara as if to give her thanks. Katara nodded. Zuko knelt down to one of the guards. Zoe surveyed her surroundings. A small river flowed in a clearing. Perfect.

"You knocked them out!"

"So?"

"You could have killed them!"

"Zuko's right." Katara agreed. Zoe rolled her eyes.

"I didn't want to be seen." Zoe opened the Wanted poster showed them. Katara laughed.

"Now Toph can talk about being a convict with you." Zoe shook her head.

"I'm not going back." Zuko fought the rage that was bottling up inside of him.

"What do you mean you're not coming back?"

"I'm not going back. I know you're slow but still." Zoe teased.

Ok that's it. Zoe's going down. Zuko charged pushing Zoe into the clearing.

"You're coming back. Even if I have to drag you." Zuko threw a series of attacks at her. Zoe dodged each one with ease. Zoe smiled. Zuko felt his rage take over him. He threw fireballs at her, never stopping to catch his breath.



Zoe couldn't believe Zuko was fighting so hard. She was caught off guard. And then she got burned. Zoe turned the river into ice. She continued to back up onto it.

Katara gasped. Zuko was going to really hurt her. Katara ran towards Zuko.

"Stop it!" Zuko pushed her away. Katara couldn't believe this.

Zuko pushed Katara away. Let me do this. He was focused on bringing Zoe down.

Zoe smiled. She bended some water formed a shield. She breathed deeply. She used her bloodbending to get Katara out of the way. She froze her shield. Then she let the flames grow. She let them break her shield. Millions of pieces of ice sliced through the air. The flames surrounded her. She smiled.

"You sure you want a piece of me?"

Katara felt her body moving behind a tree. But she let Zoe lead her to where ever she wanted her to go.

Zuko stared in awe. The millions of icicles pinned him to a tree.

"Are you sure you want a piece of me?" Zoe taunted. Zuko smiled just as evilly as Zoe. Ha. Fire beats water. Sorry Zoe. Zuko heated up and melted the ice.



Zoe smiled. Just as planned. She stepped back onto the river. Zuko followed her, throwing fire as fast as he could. Then he made a huge mistake. He stepped onto the ice. Zoe quickly melted the ice.

Zuko fell into the icy river. He saw above the water. She was going to refreeze it. She wouldn't kill him. He was far too unlucky for that. She would pull him out right before he lost consciousness.

Katara gasped as Zuko fell into the river. She raced to the river side doing her best to keep the river from freezing over. She looked at Zoe, begging her to stop. Zoe nodded. Katara breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back into the forest.

Zoe nodded. She watched Katara back up into the forest. Zoe rose the river and forced it into a tree, dragging Zuko with it.

Zuko felt the water being pushed into a tree. Angi help me. He was slammed into the tree with such of force the tree shattered into pieces.

Zoe smiled as the tree broke. I rock. She watched Zuko struggle to get up. Katara ran to Zuko and helped him up.

Zuko let Katara help him up. Zuko grunted.

"What?" Katara asked.

"Stupid. Go on a river while fighting a water/firebender. That's got to be the dumbest thing I've done yet."



"Dumbest thing you've done yet. I'm sure in 5 minutes you'll do something worse." Zoe called out.
