"I can't believe Jet's been alive all this time." said Kya after Longshot, Smellerbee, Pipsqueak, The Duke, and Haruki had explained to the group what happened.

After the Freedom Fighters and Haruki told Kya and Xiu what happened, the girls woke up the others to hear what had happened.

"How can that be?" asked Rikiya, "My mom told me that when Jet said he would be okay, she could tell that he was lying."

"He was lying at the time." explained Smellerbee, "He didn't think he'd survive."

"But how did he?" asked Toshiro.

"Sorry, kid." said Pipsqueak, "That's a story for another time. We were told to just bring Haruki back to you and get back to the hideout."

"Can't we go with you?" asked Aura.

"No, sorry, kid." apologized Smellerbee, "It'd be too dangerous for us all. Word's already traveling around about you guys. The best thing for you to do is go incognito for a while."

"That's sounds like a good idea." said Aura, "But just one question; where's Cognito?"

Xiu smacked her hand against her forehead.

"She means go in hiding, smart one." said Xiu, annoyed.

"Where do you suggest we go?" asked Kya when Aura opened her mouth.

"The Northern Air Temple." answered Smellerbee. "We've got some friends there you can meet with. We'll send a message for you. Stay at the temple until it reaches you; it'll tell you about all the safe places left in the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation."

The sky started to lighten. It was morning.

"We better go." said Smellerbee. She handed Kya a scroll.

"There's the map to the Northern Air Temple. Good luck."

After the Freedom Fighters left, the kids ran back to Appa and started packing up.

When they took off into the sky on Appa, nobody felt tired from the lack of sleep. They felt fully awake. The team wouldn't allow Haruki to take the reins because they felt that he needed rest and because he needed to be looked over because his bruises and scratches were now noticeable in the sunlight.

"I keep telling you guys, I'm fine." said Haruki but his friends ignored him.

"You need rest." said Kya, her motherly instincs kicking in.

She placed both her hands on his shoulders and pushed him gently on his back. When Xiu threatened to chi block him if he sat up again, he knew he had no choice but to lay there and try to fall asleep.

The kids traveled for a few days. It was lucky that they were still in the northern part of the Earth Kingdom before otherwise it wouldv'e taken longer. Haruki, Jin, Sanosuke, and Toshiro consulted the map to see where they were while Kya took the reins.

"We should be there soon." said Toshiro. "We were just at this town this morning," he pointed at a spot on the map, "So it should be a couple minutes before we get there."

"Dad said that it's really amazing." said Kya, "There's pipes in the walls and there are some pretty cool inventions there."

"From what my dad told me about your dad," said Jin, "Of course he'd be impressed over a little thing like pipes. I mean, this is the guy that thinks the creation of the blubbered seal jerky is the greatest one yet."

Back in the Fire Nation palace, Zuko was reading some reports when Sokka bursted into the room, and hit Zuko on the back of the back of his head.

"I don't know why I just did that," said Sokka, "But I had a feeling you deserved it."

And with that Sokka walked out of the office, leaving a very confused Zuko behind.

"Geez, Jin what's got your bindings in a knot?" asked Xiu, "I'm usually the sour one around here."

"I'm just really tired okay?" snapped Jin, "We've been riding for hours and I haven't had a good night's sleep in a couple days."

"Maybe if we don't make it to the temple by tonight we can see if we can find a village or a barn to get you something to help you sleep." said Kya, "Like maybe we can get you some milk and warm it up or maybe some herbs we can make into tea."

"I don't even like tea." said Jin.

Iroh burst into Zuko's office and hit him on the back of the head.

"WHAT IS WITH EVERYONE AND HITTING ME TODAY?" Zuko yelled when his uncle left

"Would it help if I sang you a lullaby?" asked Xiu with sarcasm.

Rikiya laughed.

"I think she wants to have more sleep, not get a headache." he said

Xiu glared daggers at the earthbender.

"Guys, it's fine." said Jin, "I've just been pretty stressed out, like you know, Haruki getting kidnapped and stuff."

"Well, once we go into hiding we'll be able to relax a little." said Aura.

"Relaxing is a waste of time." said Haruki.

Jin smirked.

"Geez, airboy, you're starting to sound like my father."

"What I'm thinking is that instead of wasting time being lazy, maybe we could get disuises and maybe sneak into the army-"

"Bad idea." Xiu said immediately.

"Why?"

"We wouldn't exactly fit in. Kya? Yeah, she might fit into the army since she's old enough, is more serious, and has had more training. Rikiya never thinks things through and is a total idiot (Hey!" Rikiya protested but Xiu ignored him). You already got captured by the army so they know what you look like and there's the fact that because you hate Chikara Army soldiers with a passion, there will be a chance you'll blow our cover by killing them all. Toshiro is...well, Toshiro. (The acrobat ignored the glare she got from the Water Tribe warrior). Jin's the princess of the Fire Nation, everyone knows what she looks like. Aura's is too bubbly and happy and filled with rainbows to take on the role. And then there's me."

"Why wouldn't you fit it?" asked Kya.

"You honestly believe the army is going to let a thirteen year old join?" Xiu snorted and chuckled, "Please."

"Hey guys," Kya said suddenly, "Look!"

The gang all looked ahead and saw a giant beautiful temple sitting atop a sheer peak. There are people on gliders flying around the temple. Smoke rose in lazy pillars from a couple places among the spires. Aura gasped.

"They must be airbenders!" she said excitedly.

"No, they're not." said Haruki.

"What do you mean they're not?" asked Xiu, "Those guys are flying!"

"Gliding maybe," said Haruki, "But not flying. You can tell by the way they move. They're not airbending. Those people don't have spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, something swooped low over the kids, nearely knocking them out of the saddle. The glider pilot laughs.

"Sorry!" yelled the pilot. It sounded female.

The teenage girl wearing amber goggles laughed and turned her craft around for another pass at Appa.

"She seems pretty spirited to me." said Xiu.

Haruki, with a competitive look on his face, grabbed his glider, jumped into the air, unfolded his glider and took off. Kya sighed.

"Oh here we go." she said in an annoyed and bored tone.

The other gliders flew in formation around Appa who landed gracefully on one of the temple's outer terraces. The girl glider, still laughing, soared upward, Haruki flew up next to her with an unhappy expression on his face. Below, the residents of the temple watched Haruki and the girl glide. They shouted encouragements to the girl.

The girl swerved to the right away from Haruki and dove. Haruki smirked and followed. As he followed, he flew into a loop in the air and continued following her. Soon they were neck and neck with each other.

"Nice one." said the girl, looking impressed.

"Yeh, I know." said Haruki.

"Check this out." said the girl. She flipped herself over and stood on top of her glider with ease. Haruki looked on in shock.

"Jenni!"

The girl named Jenni nearly lost her balance for a second before getting it back again. She and Haruki looked down at the temple and saw a man in a wheelchair looking up at her.

"Come down here now!" he yelled.

Jenni sighed and surfed the glider to the temple. Haruki followed and they both landed on the ground. The man in the wheel chair rolled himself over to her looking very stern.

"What have I told you about air surfing?" he asked.

"To not to." she said.

Now that they were on the ground Haruki and the gang had a good look at Jenni. She looked to be slightly older than Kya and her short brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She wore green clothes like her father and her eyes were grey.

The man opened his mouth to say something to Jenni, no doubt to tell her off, when he noticed Haruki.

"Oh no way." said the man. He rolled over to Haruki to get a good look at him.

"You're Aang and Katara's kid aren't you?" he asked.

"Why?" asked the airbender.

"I was a friend of your parents. I'm Teo." he held out a hand which Haruki shook with a surprised look on his face.

"You're Teo?" asked Toshiro, "You're that kid that was an awesome glider pilot?"

"Well, I don't know about 'awesome'" said Teo with modesty. "And you're Sokka's kid too, am I right?"

"Yeah!" said Toshiro, "And this is my older sister Kya."

"Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen your parents." said Teo.

"I bet you're wondering why we're here." said Xiu.

"Actually, I do know." said Teo. He reached into his vest and pulled out a scroll. "We got a message from the Freedom Fighters yesterday. Let's go somewhere to talk."

He turned and wheeled away, but not before stopping to look at Jenni.

"Don't think that we're not going to have a talk about how you're gliding, young lady." he told her, once again stern. He wheeled away and the kids followed him. Jenni rolled her eyes before following also.
