Chapter 7
Return to Kyoshi
To be honest only Artemis and Aang knew exactly where they were going, and the rest just guessed. They wouldn't dare tell Sokka.
They decided to land a few hundred yards from the village, and dismounted their animals.
"Osiris. Be careful and let me know if anything happens." Said Artemis as they began to walk down the hill.
"Artemis relax, I am a 500 year old dragon. I think I can keep myself out of trouble." Replied the animal.
"So where are we going?" asked Sokka.
"If I tell you wought let us go." Said Aang.
"Katara, do you know were we're going?" asked Sokka,
"Not a clue." Said Katara as the neared the village.
"Oh, no. I can't come here. It's just to painful."
"Sokka come on it will be ok." Said Zuko.
"Hey look it's Aang." Yelled a little girl and ran up to the avatar and hugged him.
"Welcome to Kyoshi Island." Said an old man.
"This place looks a lot different than the last time I was here." said Artemis.
"Well of course it change. I mean it's been 400 years." Said Toph.
"So the rumors are true." Said another man. "The Empress has returned. All the people bowed.
"Looks like Aang's old news." Said Haru.
Everyone smiled at the village except for Sokka, he didn't even look at the villagers.
"Is everything alright with him?" asked the man.
"He's just upset because we couldn't rescue Suki and the other Kyoshi warriors from the fire nation prisons." Said Teo
The man gave them a confused look. "Ok then, why don't you join us for a great fest." Said the man and the 11 friends followed him in.
They went past the Dojo, and Artemis and Katara both heard sounds coming from there.
"Um…you guys go…" said Katara
"…We'll be right there." Finished Artemis and the girls headed up to the Dojo.
"Any ideas what we're gonna find?" asked Katara.
"I have a hunch, lets just hope I'm right."
The two girl entered the dojo and spotted all of the Kyoshi warriors, but with out there makeup.
"Katara!" said one of the girls and gave her a hug.
"Suki? IS that you?" asked Katara
"Yeah! And who is this?" asked Suki looking at Artemis.
"Artemis, also knows as the empress nice to meet you."
"Wait back up, Suki you're supposed to be in a fire nation prison."
"We escaped during the eclipse and got here on a boat." Said Suki. "I couldn't wait for Sokka to rescue me so I did it my self."
"Oh thank god, Ever since Azula told Sokka you were in jail, and we had to flee he hasn't been the same." Said Katara.
"You should have been there. He almost ripped Azula to pieces for not telling him where you were." Added Artemis.
"How did you know?" asked Katara "wait don't answer that, you're the empress. Why do I even ask?"
"I thought he didn't care." Said Suki
"He barely eats, and wakes up with nightmares, about how you die because he can't rescue you."
"Please go see him." Said Artemis. "It would help a lot of people, and it will help him most of all."
"Ok, but here is how we're gonna do it." She said and whispered something to them.
"Ok see you then." Said the girls and went to join the other nine.
"Sokka eat something." Begged The Duke. "It's not healthy for you to be like this."
"I'm sorry, but this place is just so painful for me."
Just then the girls arrived and sat down to eat with their friends.
"Mai could you please pass the bread?" asked Katara and Mai passed it down.
"Here you go." Said Mai and Katara gave her a thank you nod.
"So what were you guys up to?" asked Zuko."
"Oh you'll find out later." Said Artemis and both girls smiled.
After lunch.
"Sokka would you go bring this food to our animal friends?" asked Katara.
"Yeah sure, why not." Sighed Sokka, as he took the huge basked and began to walk up to Osiris and Appa.
"What are you two up to?" asked Iroh.
"Ok everybody listen up." Started Artemis. "Katara and I walked over to the dojo and saw Suki. Yes she's alive, she escaped during the eclipse. Anyway she has come up with a plan to raise Sokka's spirits…You tell them, you've known them longer." Said Artemis.
"Ok when Sokka falls a sleep we're gonna wake him up kidnap him, and deliver him to Suki. He'll be blind folded so he wought no anything, not until Suki kisses him." Finished Katara
"This is a good plan." Said Toph.
"True to that. What do you want us to do?" asked Mai
"Try making him a little more miserable. Not suicide miserable, just a little." Said Katara.
"Remember not a word to Sokka." Said Artemis and they split apart just as Sokka came back.
"Man! Your dragon sure can eat." Said Sokka.
"well he only has 2 stomachs unlike Appa, who has 5."
"So Sokka, how did you find out about Suki being in prison?" asked Haru.
"Well…Azula cornered us and said that her favorite prisoner used to mention me often, and saying how I will rescue her. God I hope she's ok." He said getting more depressed.
"Oh…" said Haru.
Night
Sokka was snoring when Artemis woke up Katara.
"Your ready?" she asked,
"yeah." Said Katara. Artemis changed their clothing so that Sokka wouldn't recognize them and put on masks, while Toph, who had just woke up made sure he wouldn't run away, by placing him in a rock-like prison.
Katara then splashed him with some water to wake him up.
"Huh." Said Sokka startled.
"Your coming with us." Said Artemis in a voice that sounded just like Azula.
"Azula how did you find us, and how did I get trapped?" asked Sokka.
"Just a little present from those nice Dy Lee agents." Said Katara in a TyLee voice as she placed the blind fold on him.
Artemis made him light as air and flew him towards the village.
Suki waited impatiently for the girls to arrive, as soon as she spotted them she got into position.
"Here you go loser. Your ultimate demise." Said Artemis in Azula's voice.
"Let me go." Screamed Sokka, but stopped after Suki's soft lips touched his. She then took of the blind fold and pulled apart.
"S-S-S-Suki. Your ok, your alive. I'm so happy to see you," said Sokka and hugged the girl. "I was so worried. I though you were…you were…Oh never mind I'm just so happy to see you"
"I'm happy to see you too." Said Suki. "But I couldn't have pulled this off with out the help of my friends." Suki pointed her hand towards the supposed Azula and TyLee. Sokka looked at them as the two girls took of there masks and took an elegant bow.
"Thank you! Thank you!" said the girls.
"It's good to see you happy Sokka." Said Katara.
"We'll give you two some time to catch up." Said Artemis. "Oh and I almost forgot Suki read this when you have the time." She handed Suki an envelope and left with Katara.
"What do you think it says?" asked Suki.
"I don't know, I really have no idea what goes on in her head, but lets open it." Said Sokka.
"Well….ok." said Suki and opened it.
Suki
Congratulations, you have been invited to join a very exclusive club. You have been invited to join team Avatar (Sokka came up with the name. Lame I know). We will be in town for a 2 more days, which gives you plenty of time to make up your mind.
Hope to see you with us.
Artemis
"This is so cool." Said Sokka.
"Yeah it is, I think I will join you guys." Said Suki.
The two spent the rest of the night talking and laughing and more.
Next Day.
Everyone woke up to see a very happy Sokka coming back to camp.
"Let me guess. Sokka has a goofy smile on his face from whatever happened with Suki last night." Said Toph.
"Yup." Replied Teo
"Aang come with me. I must share something with you." Said Artemis and grabbed the scrolls she had retrieved and led Aang to a clearing.
"What did you want to share with me?" asked Aang.
"When Kyoshi went to visit me in my home, we discovered together that she was the Avatar. I had already known at the time that I was the Empress so we started training together, and I discovered that when I created the Avatar cycle I gave the avatar a special power, that can only be reached by an avatar who is in great need of it."
"So how do I excess it?"
"All in good time. Your last chakra was locked correct?"
"yeah" he said with his eyebrows raised.
"Avatar Hans was the fourth avatar, and he was an air bender like yourself, and his last chakra was locked just like yours is, the circumstances were different, but….anyway, when this happened I decided that the avatar could have an alternative way to get into the avatar state, but it is very dangerous." Warned Artemis.
"I'm ready, what do I have to do?" asked Aang
"Well, you…kind of sort of have to…um fight yourself kind of yin Vs, yang, Ha, ha." Said Artemis
"Your saying I have to fight my bad side."
"pretty much, Yeah. Ok what you have to do is…TALK TO KATARA ABOUT THE KISS"
"How'd you…Empress of Time, Space and Reality, I get it, but why do I need to do that?"
"Well the bad part of you is scared of being rejected by Katara so if you have this talk you will be happy and the stress will be lifted."
"You really do know everything, don't you."
"It's a gift." She said with a smile.
Aang took a deep breath,
"Ok I'll go talk to her." Said Aang and left the Empress standing there very proud of herself.
"what are you planning?" asked someone from behind. Artemis turned around and saw Iroh.
"Well if I get those two together there will only be 2 more things left for me to do." Said Artemis.
"And what are they?"
"Well 1. help you guys fight off the fire lord, and 2. help Zuko find his mother, oh and I just thought of number 3. Get rid of Zuko's scar."
"Can you really do all those things before the comet comes?" asked Iroh.
"Of course I can." Said Artemis and frolicked of.
Azula and TyLee had just left fire nation territory and heading to find Aang, and now the Empress.
"Azula what do you plan to do after you find the Empress?" asked TyLee.
"Why kill her of course." Replied the evil one.
"Azula the Empress of Time Space and Reality is not to be messed with. If you kill her the world will fall apart."
"oh please TyLee don't bore me with your prophecy mambo jumbo." Said Azula with a yawn and TyLee nodded.
Oh Azula I fear that I might be forced to stop you. Though TyLee
What will happen with Katara and Aang and will TyLee betray Azula? Find out next time. Oh and if you have any ideas for the next chapter let me know.
