Long Lost

Redbayly: Hey, I'm back.

Sokka: We're all so proud of you.

Redbayly: You, be quiet.

Katara: Yeah Sokka, let her work in peace.

Redbayly: Thanks Katara. Anyway, sorry I haven't posted for a while-

Sokka: It's only been four days!

Redbayly:*Glares* But I have been hard at work with another story. And now if Katara will kindly do the disclaimer-

Sokka: Wait! That's my job!

Redbayly: Well I guess now it's Katara's.

Katara: Redbayly does not own Avatar the Last Airbender.

Resolutions and Complications

After the incident at Lake Laogai, the Gaang had finally managed to convince the Earth King to help them. Long Feng was arrested, and plans were being made for an invasion on the Day of Black Sun. Aang received a letter from a guru at the Eastern Air Temple, Toph got a letter from her mom telling her that she was in the city and finally accepted Toph's decision to teach Aang, and Sokka and Katara received a report that told them where their father was.

"You two are forgetting something." Roku pointed out. "Someone has to stay here and help the Earth King plan for the invasion. I don't know if you've noticed, but I highly doubt they'll listen to two former members of the Fire Nation, traitors or not."

Katara looked at her brother.

"Sokka, you go to see dad. I'll stay here to help the Earth King."

Sokka's eyes filled with happy tears.

"You are...the nicest...sister..ever!"

"Easy there big brother. But, you're right, I am."

Ursa couldn't help but wish her own children could get along like that.


"Aang, what's wrong? Why are you guys back so soon?" Asked Ursa.

"I had a vision. Katara's in trouble."

"What kind of trouble?"

"I'm not sure."

Toph then sensed someone outside.

"There's someone at the door."

Cautiously, they opened the door; and were surprised by who it was.

"I need your help."


"Iroh?"

"Ursa?"

"What's going on?"

"I could ask you the same question. How are you here? What...?"

He then noticed the boy standing beside her, the boy who looked so familiar.

"Who...?"

"Iroh, we don't have time to explain but this is Zuko's younger twin, Roku. But why are you here?"

"Zuko is in trouble."

Aang then spoke up.

"What about Katara?"

"Your friend and my nephew are being held somewhere under the palace."

"Then we'll work together, and save Katara and Zuko."

"Wait a second." Said Sokka. "You lost me at 'Zuko'."

Ursa and Roku threw glares at him.


Roku decided to go with Aang and Iroh, while Ursa went with the others. Ursa decided to wear a face covering, but gave Roku permission to reveal his identity to Zuko. So that's how they found themselves. Sokka, and Toph found themselves apprehended by Azula and her two cronies, but Ursa managed to get away, deciding to find her sons.

With a loud crash, Aang broke through the wall of earth and got them into the crystal prison.

"Aang! Roku!" Katara shouted as she ran up to hug the boys.

Zuko at first only noticed the Avatar, but his attention was soon drawn to the boy who looked exactly like him, except for the scar. Iroh ran over and hugged Zuko, then turned to look at the other boy.

"Zuko, this is your brother. Prince Roku."

Zuko was still in shock.

Roku only spared his brother a quick look, before returning to the task at hand.

"Guys, we have get out of here."

"Right behind 'ya, buddy." Aang replied.

As the three of them left, Roku noticed that Katara looked back at Zuko.


Zuko betrayed them. They thought he would change, especially after finding out about his brother. But no. As Katara and Roku fought side-by-side, against his siblings, Aang tried to enter the Avatar state, only to be shot down by Azula's lightning. Roku, who was then joined by Iroh, tried to hold off the Dai-li, only to be captured. Suddenly, Ursa rushed in. She saw the seemingly dead Avatar lying in Katara's arms, and ran over. When Ursa noticed that Roku had been captured, she was about to help him.

"Mom! Run! Leave me behind and go!"

"Mom?" Whispered the astonished Zuko.

Ursa looked Zuko in the eyes for the first time in six years, only to turn away ashamed as Katara Waterbended them out.


As they flew away on Appa, Katara used her water from the Spirit Oasis to bring Aang back. As the Earth King looked down at his city, he knew it was time to realize the inevitable.

"The Earth Kingdom, has fallen."

Redbayly: Yes, it's done.

Katara: Poor Roku. He's been captured.

Redbayly: Don't worry, Katara. He'll be fine. And to everyone out there, please review.
