Chapter 7: The Insane Chase
After gaining a new and awesome member into their little group, the Gaang have landed in the middle of an open field in a forest. As the sun rises up to greet them they unload their bags as they prepare to set up their campsite.
"Hey you guys picked a great campsite. The grass is so soft." Toph smiling as she feels what is not grass but Appa's fur with her toes. "That's not grass, Appa's shedding." Sokka says as Katara flinches. "Aww gross." She says in disgust. "That's not gross it's just a part of Spring, you know rebirth, flowers blooming and Appa gets a new coat." Aang says smiling as birds and butterflies hover around him.
"Aah the beauty of spring." Katara says sarcastically. Zian on the other hand is going crazy as he is busy scratching himself all over. "Speak for yourself. You guys aren't the ones who have fleas pestering you all day." He says. Toph grins. "That's because none of us have your problem." She says as the group already told her about Zian's 'gift' so that they can avoid any complications in the long run. Zian looks at her sternly as he continues to scratch.
Appa licks his fur as he suddenly opens his mouth as he then inhales deeply as he lets a huge sneeze that causes his fur to fly everywhere. The fur lands on Katara's whole body as Appa his fur off. "Appa stop, stop." She exclaims as she starts to cough due to the fur in her mouth. "It's not that bad Katara." Sokka says to her with his back to her as he turns around. "It makes a great wig." He says as he placed some of the fur on his head to make shape like a hat. Aang then jumps in front of him as he has the fur on his chin so that it looks like he has a large beard. "And a great beard." He says as they both laugh.
Zian walks to them as he shakes his head. "Really guys you need to grow up." He says as he then smiles and turns around. "So that you can have amazing back hair like mine." He says as his entire back is covered in Appa's fur. They laugh as Katara rubs the fur off her. "I'm just glad we finally have another girl in the group because you three are disgusting." She says
Toph walks to them with her hands behind her back. "Excuse does anyone have a razor? Because I got some haaaairy pits." She says as she lifts her arms and fur comes out of them. They laugh at this as this causes Katara to giggle a bit at their silliness.
As the sun sets the group get ready to make camp as they all do their own jobs. Well everyone except Toph who is lying on the other side of the camp minding her own business and not helping at all. Katara looks at her annoyed as she stands up and walks over to her. "So Toph ussally when setting up camp we try to divide up the work." She says as Toph still lies down. "Hey don't worry about me, I'm good to go." She says. "Well actually what I'm trying to say is, some of us might fetch water or some of us might start the fire or set up the tent." She says
Momo comes flying down carrying nuts as he places them in Katara's hands. "Even Momo does his fair share." She says. "Katara I'm fine. I can carry my own weight. I don't need a fire I've already collected my own food and look." Toph says as slams her hands to the ground diagonally. Two slabs of earth come out of the ground as the connect creating an earth tent above her. "My tents al set up." She says as Katara looks like she is starting to get annoyed. "Well that's great for you but we still need to finish…" She tries to say as Toph cuts her off. "I don't' understand?! What's the problem here?!" She asks as Katara looks like she is gonna say something. "Nevermind." She says as she turns around and walks back to the camp.
Later as the sunsets Zian, Sokka and Aang are busy getting Appa saddle off. Sokka is under guiding while Zian, due to his incredible stretch, lifts it up and tries to lower it. Unfortunately he loses balance as he drops the saddle as it falls on Sokka. "Sorry" Zian says as he quickly picks up the saddle and places it away.
Katara looks at Toph who is still sitting alone at her earth tent as she is busy eating some of the food she collected for herself. "Hey Toph I wanted to apologise for earlier. I think we're all just a little tired and getting on each other's nerves." Katara says. "Yeah you do seem pretty tired." Toph says as she carries on eating. Katara looks at her offended by her statement. "I meant all of us." She says.
Toph then throws away the food she can't eat and crawls into her tent. "Well goodnight." She says as Katara looks at her defeated. "Goodnight" She says as she walks back to the camp.
Later that night
The group are all fast asleep as the night lingers on. Toph in her tent is having a needed sleep when she suddenly wakes up startled by something. Her face is facing down to the ground as she waits. "There's something coming toward us!" She yells as everyone wakes up.
"What is it?" Aang asks as they gather around her. She bends down as she touches the ground. "It feels like an avalanche but also not an avalanche." She says. "Your powers of perception are frightening." Sokka says still a little sleepy. Zian then raises his head as he starts to sniff the air. "No, she's right. I can smell smoke and I smell…metal?" He says confused at the last bit. "Should we leave?" Katara asks them. "Better safe than sorry." Aang aswnsers.
They quickly pack all of their stuff as they then fly high up. As they are high enough they can see smoke coming towards them from a far distance. "What is that thing?" Katara asks as they look closer to see some kind of mechanical train like machine as it is moving on metal wheels. They keep on flying as everyone is tired and sleepy with heavy bags in their eyes. After a while when they can no longer see the machine the land in a rocky area as Toph immediately jumps.
"Ah land sweet land." She says as she jumps and lands on the ground. She then jumps back up as she smiles. "See you guys in the morning." She says as she walks off. "Actually can you help us unload?" Katara asks as Toph stops and turns to her. "Really? You need me to help unload Sokka's funky smelling sleeping bag?" She asks as Sokka smells his sleeping bag and instantly faints. "Can't deny that, I can smell it the whole time." Zian says while pinching his nose.
Katara walks to Toph. "Well yeah, that and everything else. You're part of our team now and…" She tries to say before Toph cuts her off by pointing at her. "Look I didn't ask you to help unload my stuff. I can carry my own weight." She says as she walks off. Katara puts her hands on her hips as she becomes irritated. "That's not the point." She says as she walks over to Toph.
"Ever since you joined us you've been nothing but selfish and unhelpful." She says as Toph turns to her. "What?! Look here sugar queen! I gave up everything I had so that I can teach Aang earthbending. So don't you talk to me about being selfish." She says as she then sits down slams her to the ground as an earth tent forms around her.
Katara looks at her extremely annoyed. "Sugar Queen?!" She says as Toph slams the opening of her tent shut as Katara flinches back. "Di…did you just slam the door in my face?! How can you be so infuriating?!" She yells as she starts punch and slam the tent trying to break but nothing works as she just continues.
"Should weeeee do something?" Aang asks Zian who eyes then widen. "And risk losing a body part?! You can do it but count me out!" He says. Aang then walk over to Katara. "Ok ok, you both need to calm down." Aang says trying to defuse the situation.
"Both?" Katara asks as she turns showing the most frustrated and terrifying face ever. "I'M COMPLETELY CALM!" She shouts as she breathes deeply and her nostrils flare with anger. "Aaaagh!" Zian screams as he runs away. Aang's eyes widen. "I can see that." He says as he steps backs and then shimmies away from her.
The Gaang are busy sleeping under the night sky in their sleeping bags (besides Zian who is just sleeping on the ground as he curled himself up like a sleeping dog), except for Katara as she just glances at Toph's tent as she then smirks. "The stars sure are beautiful tonight. Too bad you can't see them Toph." She says mockingly. Toph then let's out a grunt as an earth rubble heads towards Katara as it pushes her in the air as it shift her position and she right on top of her brother.
Sokka pushes her off of him. "How's a guy supposed to sleep with all this YELLING and EARTHQUAKING?!" He yells as Zian looks at him. "How's anyone supposed to get some sleep with you yelling so loudly." He says as he tries to get back to sleep. Toph opens the door of her earth tent as she comes out. "That thing is back." She says "Uuuugh!" Zian groans as he gets out of his sleeping bag.
"Well how far is it? Maybe we can close our eyes for a few minutes." Sokka says as he covers himself, face and all, with his sleeping bag. Zian gets up and walks over to Sokka. he then grabs the bottom of Sokka's bag as he lifts it up as this causes Sokka to fall out of it. "Nope I can smell it, it's close. We need to leave now." He says as Sokka packs the rest of the stuff up while making grumbles.
They all climb onto Appa as he flies away as fast as he can. Katara and Toph look back at the machine. "Serioulsly, what is that thing?" Katara asks as she rubs her eyes. "And how does it keep finding us?" Toph also asks. "I don't know. But this time, I'm gonna make sure we lose them." Aang says. "Hopefully." Zian says trying to stay awake.
They fly for a while and far until they come to the top of a mountain as Appa lands and as soon as his paws touch the top he immediately topples over, causing everyone to fall over, as he shut his eyes and falls into deep sleep. As everyone is on the ground Sokka immediately gets into his sleeping bag. "Ok forget about setting up camp. I'm finding the softest pile of dirt and going to sleep." He says as he literally worms his way to a corner. "Same here. Now shut up before I gnaw our arms off." Zian says as he goes around in a circle, lays down on the ground and curls himself up.
"That's good because Toph wasn't going to help anyway." Katara says as she lies on the ground using her packed sleeping bag as a pillow. "Oh I didn't realize baby still needed someone to tuck her in bed." Toph retorts. "Come on guys there's something after us and we don't even know what who it is." Aang says tired.
Katara turns. "It could be Zuko. We haven't seen him since the North Pole." She says as Zian grins. "Yeah we haven't seen scar face in a long while, I kind of actually miss him." HE says. "Who's Zuko?" Toph asks as she stares blindly at the stars. "Oh just some angry freak with a ponytail who's tracked us all over the world." Sokka says as he lays his face on the ground.
Katara smirks. "What's wrong with ponytails, ponytail." She says mocking him. Sokka then points to his ponytail. "This is a warriors wolf tail." He says. Zian looks at him and grins. "Call it whatever you want, to me it is still a ponytail." He says as he chuckles. "And it certainly tells the over warriors that you are fun and perky. Sokka glares at her before laying on his back. "Anyway whoevers chasing us they couldn't have followed us all the way up here. Now would everyone just shhh." He says as he closes his eyes and starts to sleep.
Momo then jumps on his stomach as he starts to go nuts. "No Momo, shu. Sleepy time." He says as Momo jumps off of him. "Uh-oh." Zian says as he sniffs the air. Momo starts to look in a direction as he jumps all around. "Oh don't tell me." Sokka moans. "That's impossible, they've could've tracked us." Aang says as Toph looks at the ground. "No, I can feel it with my own two feet." She says as they run to the edge.
They all look and see the machine creating smoke from a distance as it is climbing up the mountain as it heads towards them. "Oh cooooooome oooooooon! How persistent can these people be?!" Zian exclaims. "Let's get out of here." Katara says as she wants to run. Aang however stands his ground. "Maybe we should face them, find out who they are? Who knows maybe they're friendly." Aang says as Sokka lowers his head. "Always the optimist." He says. "Yeeeeeeeeah, I doubt anyone driving that big thing that is covered in spikes and looks all scary would consider being friendly." Zian says.
The machine then stops at a distance as the smoke starts to fade away. The doors of the cargo hold that the machine is carrying open as steam comes out and three individuals emerge out of it. They are the three girls that chased the group back at Omashu, Ty Lee, Mai and the terrifying devil herself Azula. They come out as they ride on giant lizards as they ride up the mountain. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Zian shouts As Aang and Katara just stare at them in shock.
"Those three girls from Omashu." Katar exclaims as they all take a stance as they get ready to fight. "We can take them. Four on three." Toph says as Sokka looks at her confused. "Actually Toph there's five of us." He says as Toph expression turns to surprised. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't count you. You know no bending and all." She says as Sokka looks at her with a sneer look. "I can still fight!" He shouts. "Ok three on four plus Sokka." She says as Sokka's whole face starts to turn bright red.
As the girls are starting to get closer Toph then creates pillars in their way as the lizard just climb over them with ease as they continue. "Well we wanted to find out who they were so let's get out of here." Sokka says as he and Toph run to Appa. Zian stands where he is as he creates a giant wall in front of their pursuers as it blocks their path. Azula then moves her fingers and arms in circular motions as the buzzing of lightning can be heard. She then thrusts her arms forward as lightning shoots out of her finger tips and it moves straight to the wall as it creates a blast and dust covers a portion. As the dust clears there is now a open hole in it.
"Are you serious?!" Zian says as Mai shoot darts at him. He shoots himself in the air with a boulder as the darts pierce the boulder and miss him. He jumps off of it and lands in the saddle. "Appa yip yip!" Aang shouts as the bison takes off.
Later as they are more tired than ever Appa continues to fly. "I can't believe those girls followed us all the way from Omashu." Katara says. "Well what did you expect? We have Aang the Avatar with us. He might as well have a big sign on his head saying 'Avatar right here! Get him while he's still not captured.' I mean it's as plain as that." Zian says. "I still think we could've taken them." Toph says while pouting.
Katara looks at her shocked. "Are you kidding me? The crazy blue fire bending and the flying daggers are bad enough but last time we saw them one of those girl did something that took my bending away and made Zian go all numb." Katara as Zian smiles. "Yep it was like I was a floppy leaf." He says as he chuckles a bit.
Suddenly they see the sun appear from behind the mountains as Sokka looks and moans. "Oh no the sun is rising. We've been up all night without any sleep." He complains as Zian rolls his eyes. "Sokka we'll be ok." Aang assures him. Sokka looks at him. "Are you sure? I've never not slept before what if I fall asleep and something happens and something always happens." Sokka panics as Zian smacks him on the back of the head. "Calm down now or I'll rip your head off from its socket." He says as Sokka covers his mouth with his hands.
"Every time we land those girls are there, so we'll have to keep flying." Katara says. "We can't keep flying forever." Aang says as Zian yawns. "I'm very tired." He says stating the obvious. "Which one of us isn't?" Aang asks.
After flying for a few moments Aang yawns. "So what's our plan?" Aang asks. Zian is curled up as he yawns. "Too…tired…can't…think straight." He says trying his best to stay awake. "Don't know…too tired to think." Toph says lowering her head. "I'm sure we'll come up with something after a short nap." Katara says "Yes sleep." Sokka says as he smiles and they all close their eyes as they go to sleep.
Not long after they suddenly start to float up as Toph opens her eyes and they widen. "What's going?!" She asks as the rest of them open theirs and also widen. "Appa fell asleep!" Aang cries. "AAAAAAAAGH!" They all scream as they keep on falling. Zian is holding onto the saddle as he tries no to let go. "I know I said I'm not going to die by my own element but I also don't want to die from falling!" He yells. Aang pulls himself down to Appa's face. "Wake up buddy!" He shouts. At falling at such a high speed and the screams from the others causes Appa to wake up as he quickly reacts and pushes himself up as he flies. However still sleepy he doesn't fully fly up as he just flies through the trees and the forest as he loses control and starts to go down as he skid on the ground and crashes.
As they have landed Appa somehow manages to fall right back to sleep. Zian falls off the saddle as lands on the ground with a thud. "Never. Doing that. Again!" He says as he just lies on the ground. "Appa's exhausted." Aang says sleepily. Sokka and Katara walk with there sleeping bags to a tree. "Ok we've put a lot of distance between us and them. The plan right now is to follow Appa's lead and get some sleep." Sokka says. "Of course we could've gotten some sleep earlier if Toph didn't have such issues." Katara says as Toph's eyes widen and she slams her hands on the ground hard. "WHAT?!" She yells.
"Oh come on! I'm going to rip someone's throat off if they don't shut up!" Zian exclaims as she rubs his face. "Alright alright!" Aang yells as he intervenes to stop an argument before it starts. "Everyone exhausted. Let's just gets some rest." He says as Toph turns to Katara annoyed. "No, I want to hear what Katara has to say." She says as she stomps her foot. "You think I have issues?" She asks
"I'm just saying; maybe if you helped us out earlier we could've step up our camp faster and gotten some sleep. And then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation!" Katara says as Sokka just rolls opens his sleeping bag and falls to sleep. "You're blaming me for this?!" Toph says as she walks over to her. Katara throws her sleeping bag one side as she gestures Toph to bring it on. Aang then quickly moves between them. "No she's not blaming you." Aang says trying to defuse the situation.
"No I'm blaming her!" Katara says abruptly. Toph throws Aang away from them. "Hey, I've never asked you for diddily doo da I carry my own weight! Besides if there's anybody to blame it's sheddy over here!" She says pointing to Appa. Aang looks at her shocked. "What? You're blaming Appa?" He asks. She then walks to the bison and grabs some of his fur. "Yeah you wanna know how they keep finding us?" She says as she pulls the fur easily and lets it fly in the wind. "He's leaving a trail everywhere we go." She says angrily as Aang jumps off. "How dare you blame Appa. He saved your life three times today. If there's anyone to blame it's you." He says pointing to Toph
"You're always talking about carrying your own weight but you're not he is, Appa's carrying your weight. He never had a problem with flying when it was just the three of us!" Aang yells. Toph then turns around, grabs her bag and then walks away. "I'm outta here." She says as she uses her earthbending to throw her bag in the air as she catches it and keeps on walking.
"Wait" Sokka says as he runs in front of her trying to stop her from leaving. This proves fruitless however as she just slides him to the side with her bending and she continues on. "Well then, that could've gone better." Zian remarks as he stretches his legs a bit.
Later
"What did I just do?!" Aang yells as he drops to the ground. "I can't believe I yelled at my earth bending teacher." He says as regretfully as he lowers his head. "And now she's gone." He says as Katara also looks regretful. "I know we're all just trying to get use to each other." She says as Zian looks at her as he is still lying on the ground. "Well it could have gone worse." He says as Katara looks at him confused as she raises an eyebrow. "How?" She asks as Zian smiles. "I have no idea." He says as he drinks some of the tea he has.
Katara looks down. "And I was so mean to her." She says. Sokka looks back at her as he is sipping some tea. "Yeah you two were pretty much jerks." He says non chalantly. Katara looks at him flat face. "Thanks Sokka." She says sarcastically. "No problem." He says as he continues to drink. Katara looks at Aang. "We need to find Toph and apologise." She says as she helps Aang up.
Zian looks at Katara wondering. "Ok and while we're doing that. What are we going to do about the tank full of psychopaths that are busy chasing us and can find us at any moment?" He asks. Aang grabs some of Appa's fur and lets it fly away. "I have a plan." He says as Zian shrugs as he stands up and gets ready to help Aang.
A while later they place Appa in the river as they give him a nice clean bath. Aang and Katara use their water bending to shower the bison with water while Zian, Momo and Sokka brush the fur off as Sokka is accidently sprayed on with some of the water as he gets wet. While this is happening the fur comes off as some of it flows down the river or gets caught on rocks.
After ten or fifteen minutes of cleaning the big bison he looks clean and shiny as they dry him off. "Toph was right, Appa's fur was leaving a trail right to us but now that he is clean no more trail." Aang says as Katara looks at him worryingly. "Are you sure he is okay to fly?" She asks as Aang smiles. "He'll be fine as long as we leave his saddle and all our stuff here." He says as he takes a bag and starts to pick up some of the fur that is lying around and putting it into the bag. "I'm going to use Appa's fur to make a fake trail and lead the tank off course." He says as Zian gives a goofy salute. "Ai ai captain." He says as Aang rolls his eyes.
Sokka, Katara, Momo and Zian climb onto Appa as he takes off and flies away, not without hitting a tree of course. Aang looks at them flying before turning to the other direction with bags still in his eyes. He opens his glider as he then jumps in the air and flies off as the fur from the bag falls out and leaves a trail.
A while later
"Flying, flying, flying over the gaint green trees. There's a lot of clouds and no birds I'm so bored." Zian happily sings as he is lying on his back looking up at the sky while flying on Appa's back. Sokka looks at him annoyed. "Can you stop singing and help us look for Toph?" He says as Zian looks at him. "Maybe you can help us by smelling where she is." Sokka says. "Do you have anything that she had with her?" Zian asks him. "No" Sokka says shaking his head. "Well then my nose won't be able to help us." He says as he continues to sing.
Sokka decides to ignore him and keeps on looking. "Toph couldn't have made it too far." He says as he then hears Momo growling. Sokka crawls over to the lemur curios. Zian then starts to sniff. "Uh oh." He says. "What is it M-Oh no!" Sokka suddenly shouts as Zian crawls over to him. "Don't tell." He says as he looks down and sees that Ty lee and Mai on their lizards and chasing them. "You've got to be KIDDING ME!" Zian yells. Katara looks back and is shocked when she sees the girls. "How did they find us?!" She says as she tells Appa to go faster.
Zian looks around and sees that they are somehow going slowly down. "Uhm, correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure we are supposed to go up. What's happening?" He asks Katara. "Appa's too tired, he's not going fast." She says as Sokka panics a little. "Not good not good." He says.
Appa yawns as he is trying to stay awake. Sokka sees a river ahead of them. "We just need to make it across that river." He says. "Come on Appa. Just hold on a little more." Zian encourages the bison. Zian looks over as he sees knives heading towards him. "Aagh!" He yells as he dodges them as they whizz past his face.
As they come to the river they slowly descend to it as Appa's body touches it and he starts to skid on it like a pebble. As the water splashes around him he makes it to the other side as crashes to the ground and comes to a complete halt as this sends Zian flying as his face connects with the ground. As things settle down Zian stands up as he looks and sees that the psychopathic girls are on the other side and they are safe from them.
"We made it we're safe." Sokka says. "You did it Appa!" Katara congratulates the bison. Zian jumps in the air with joy. "Wooohooo! We made it and we're still alive!" He says happily as he jumps on Appa and starts to hug him. "You're the best you're the best, you're the best!" Zian yells. Katara hugs her brother as she looks at the river and then gasps as she lets go. Zian looks at her. "What wrong Katara?" He asks as he looks in the direction she is and his jaw drops.
"Life just can't give us a break, can't it?" He says as the crazy girl's lizards run on the water as they run towards the three of them. Katara uses her bending to send a wave towards Ty Lee. She jumps off the lizards and they attack them.
After a short fight the siblings lost as Katara is caught on a tree from the daggers and Sokka is lying on the ground paralyzed. "How are you doing?" Sokka asks Katara. "Well you know…" She says. Ty Lee and Mai stand in front of them as they look at their defeated opponents. "I thought when Ty Lee and I caught you guys it would be more exciting." Mai says sounding disappointed. "Oh well victory is boring." She says as Ty Lee looks at Katara and Sokka confused. "Wait, wasn't there three of you?" She asks.
Suddenly they hear someone whistling behind them as they turn around. Before they can react however a giant earth pillar comes towards them as it hits them, without hurting them, and sends them flying as they scream and fall into the river and disappear. After that Katara and Sokka look to see who their saviour is and sees that it is Zian as he places the huge earth pillar over his shoulder. "How does defeat feel?!" He says mockingly as he chuckles.
"Thanks Zian, I don't know what we would do without you." Sokka says Appa walks past Zian as the bison is now fully awake and walks over to Sokka as he licks the guy with his giant tongue covering him in saliva. Zian laughs at this and helps his friends up. "Let's go find Aang." He says as the siblings nod and the all climb on Appa and go to find Aang
At Aang's side
Azula enters the ruined home that Aang is trapped in. She sees him trapped under a pile of wood from the broken roof as he lays there helpless. She lights the whole house on fire as she walks to him smiling fiendishly. Aang looks scared as he tries to pull himself out but fails. As is ready to strike him down ending his life completely Katara then appears from the archway as she uses her water to grab Azula's arm and yanks her back.
Katara then uses the water to slice the wooden beam holding Aang who then smiles in relief. "Katara!" he says. Azula turns around as she throws some fire at Katara as she runs out of the room while Azula chases her. As Katara passes an open door she moves away as Azula moves where she was as Sokka appears from behind it and tries to strike her. As she dodges him and moves away she then looks down to a shadow under her growing bigger as she looks up and sees a boulder coming down to her.
She quickly moves out of the way as she nearly dodges it her and she sees Zian on top of the roof as he grins indicating that it was his doing. She then shoots a fireball at him as he leaps off the roof and on the ground. The group then surround her as they fight her.
As she them all on her while stepping away from them she stops as she feels her vibrate as she suddenly falls as if someone pushed her and the group look behind her to see that Toph did it. Toph smiles at them. "I thought you guys could use a little help." She says as Katara smiles. "Thanks." She says as they turn to Azula and fight her. As the fighting progresses the odds seem to be in their favour as Azula is stepping away while shooting fire at them.
Seeing that she is slowly losing she turns tail and runs as she looks behind her. She doesn't however notice Iroh who quickly comes up in front of her as he uses his stomach to knock her over. She stands up as they group, Iroh and Zuko slowly move forward as they all surround her as she moves back until her back hits a wall.
"Look at this, enemies and traitors all working together. I'm done; I know when I'm beaten. You got me, a princess surrenders with honour." She says as she raises her arms in the air in surrender. "Somehow I doubt that." Zian says as they stand there. The tension builds up as Iroh eyes drift over to Toph. Azula takes this as an opportunity as she then shoots fire at him as it pierces his shoulder. He goes down as everyone looks back in shock.
They face Azula as they all attack simultaneously. Azula creates a fire sphere around herself as all the attacks cause a huge explosion and cover s the entire place in smoke.
After a short while the smoke fades as they look to see Azula has up and vanished without a trace. "Ugh" Zian groans at this as they look to where Iroh fell to see Zuko kneeling besides his unconscious uncle. He groans at this in regret. The group come up from behind him slowly. He turns around and looks at them furiously. "Get away from us!" He yells. Zian looks at the scene and can't help but feel some sympathy for him. Katara walks a little closer. "Zuko I can help." She says. After a spilt second Zuko turns back to them as he shoot a stream of fire at them. "LEAVE!" He yells. The Gaang dodge it as they decide that it is best to leave as they run away and leave the prince and his uncle alone in the burning town.
At night
As they have left night time approached the group land on top of a high mountain and just there fall fast asleep. Zian however is curled up as he looks at the stars and the moon as he thinks back before drifting off into dreamland.
Two ghostly figures stand at a distance as they watch them sleep. They look over at Zian as they watch him snore. "So you think he is ready to know the truth?" One figure say to the other. The second figure smiles. "Whether he is or not the truth is soon approaching and then he must decide what his destiny is." He says as the first figure nods and they both disappear in a flash.
