Reincarnated: Believing in the Impossible.
In Memory of Ashton. 1990-2006
I had a good friend named Ashton who died a short while ago, he was a big avatar fan and he told me that he had an idea for a story, but he wanted me to write it, seeing he couldn't do it himself. So here is Ashton's story in my view. Please no Flames, on this story. It would be like insulting him.
Love and Peace.

Previously: The trio meet up with Meng, and Natasha's now only an hour away from them.
Meng pushed and shoved the tree friends through the village, people who were going about their lives looked to the three and whispered amongst themselves, and older woman even dropped a pot full of water with a gasp as the four walked past her.
"Come on, come on!" Meng said pulling on Jess's hand enthusiastically.
"We're coming! Sheesh." Tim sighed rolling his eyes at the young girl.
They arrived at a large house with a moon gate door. A man in black, with shaggy white hair opened the door for them and the four entered. Inside an older woman stood, dressed in golden robes, she had a keen look on her face, and heavy makeup.
"I've been waiting, Avatar." The old woman said.
"Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu, he came back! Aang came back isn't that great!" Meng said jumping on her toes.
"Yes." Aunt Wu smiled to the girl before turning her attentions to the three travelers. "Come with me." She said turning her back on them and walking to a room at the end of the hall. She slid open the paper door and told them to sit on the cushions positioned around the room.
"It's been a while." She said. "The last time you saw me was at the Buddhist temple in Kankakee."
Tim looked to Jess who merely shrugged, but Ash seemed to understand.
"You're that Buddhist munk!" he said. "You're the one that got us into this mess, in the first place." Ashton's voice turned stern. "Get us out now! Get us back to our normal lives!"
Aunt Wu shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't do that."
"What do you mean you can't do that?" Jess yelled her face screwed up in anger.
"Only you can get yourself back, by looking into each others hearts and finding love, it's the only way." She said.
"Oh, Bull Shit." Tim said crossing his arms. "I'm not looking into anybody's freaking heart, ok? You got us into this mess, you're getting us out, you got that, monk?"
"Yeah!" Jess said. "This is all your fault!"
Aunt Wu took a deep breath "I can not fix this problem. And I was not the one who sent you here, I do not have that great of a power. Something must have happened, something that can only be finished by you. The great spirits must have sent you here to complete that mission."
"If we're here to complete some special mission, then why is Natasha a friggen… fuzzy…" Ash was getting angry and he was stumbling over his words. "THING?"
Aunt Wu tilted her head. "The bison?" she asked.
"Yeah!" Ash replied.
The oracle couldn't help but laugh. "That bison is not your friend, Natasha as you call her. Your friend is currently on this island … searching for you."

The men charged out into the island and burned down the greenery as if they were charging into war. I watched from behind on the giant rhino that Iroh had helped me onto with a scared smirk on my face. I was terrified that I was either about to fall of, or that the rhino would say 'why do I have to cary this stupid human, let's buck it off and then eat it.'
… Rhinos don't eat humans… right?
The troops entered a small village and ransacked it. Terrorizing the citizens and burning they're belongings. All I could do was sit and watch… I had no idea what was really happening, and I didn't know I had any control over it. Stupid me.
Finally they stopped when three men came to me holding a young boy in yellow with an arrow on his head, a girl dressed in blue, and a teen boy dressed in blue as well.
"We've caught the avatar, sir!" the solder informed me. "Should we take him to the ship?"
I looked over to Iroh, who nodded.
"Yeah." I said. "You do that."
I looked down to the three captured teens. From the two unfamiliar boys and then to the girl, and though I had never seen her before something in her blue eyes, made me feel… almost safe.
I shook my head, forcing such thoughts to leave my head. I boarded the ship, and the prisoners were taken below the deck, and right as we pulled out I saw a mettle ship came into view. Zhoa had arrived.
