The last Gem bender ch. 7
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
Iroh tried to comfort his nephew. "It's not so bad, he gave us a new ship and a new crew...Also your father didn't kill us! A good day all around." Zuko didn't respond. He cared nothing about any of that! He still hadn't regained his honor! His exile still wasn't reversed! That was the only thing that mattered to him!
…...
It was a long, awkward flight away from the southern air temple. Katara tried to comfort Aang...but aside from that, what could they do? What could they say? What could anyone do to make the destruction of an entire culture 'okay'?...they couldn't of course. No one can.
Still, desperate to get his new friend to smile again. Steven proposed that the Gems lift their strict rule of 'not stopping for anything'. To go to the nearest vacation spot Aang talked about to cheer him up. Although uneasy, the Gems agreed...
…...
It should come to no surprise to anyone that things derailed quickly after they arrived. Steven and Aang's attempt to ride a koi fish ended with them almost getting eaten. And when the group saved them and were about to leave when-
"Oh, come on!" Shouts Sokka as their ambushed by female warriors. It did come to said warriors surprise when they found themselves in a curbstomp battle.
Aang and his friends could only watch amazed as the crystal gems effortlessly defeated their attackers. The one who appeared to be their leader grunted with effort as she looked at the gems. "Who- What are you?" she asked amazed.
Garnet looked down at her. "We are the crystal Gems!" She stated. Suki's eyes widened in wonder. She saw it now! They were the spitting image of the ancient carvings! Suki and the other warriors quickly bowed.
"Forgive us, divine protectors! We knew not who you were! Please, let us take you to our village to make it up to you!"...
…...
-"Wait, your Kyoshi warriors?" Asked Aang as they walked to the village. "I think I've heard of you guys...Is this Kyoshi island?!" Exclaimed Aang. Suki smiled. "No, but that's a common misconception. See the people here wanted to named it Kyoshi. But she insisted that it instead be named after the woman that inspired her the most-
GLOW!
Everyone jumped back startled. Not only had Steven's gem started to glow, but also-
"Hey, why do you have a statue of my mom?" Asked Steven as he points to the giant(now glowing) statue in the middle of town.
Exclamations of 'your mom?!' and 'his mom!?' were heard all over. The elder Oyaji and the rest of the town bow to Steven. "Welcome, Steven! Son of Rose Quartz, to Rose island!" "Uh...Thank you?" Asked an awkward Steven who was more then a little uncomfortable with the bowing...and things only got crazier when the people learned that Aang was the Avatar!
…...
Zuko was nearly blinded when his spy glass caught an intense flare. He stumbled along blindly until he regained his composure and beheld an intense pink glow far in the distance. "That way!" he shouts!
