The Epic of Tokka
Chapter 8
"A Roadblock"
Disclaimer: I, Mitch Wise, does not own "Avatar: The Last Airbender." This is story's characters are based off the characters of "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
A/N: I am going to try First Person, i.e. using, 'I', it puts you, the reader, right into the characters head, their POV (POINT OF VIEW) you see what they see, you feel what they feel, you know as much as they know. I haven't done this in a while so I'm rusty. If I do anything wrong please point it out to me and I'll fix it. THANKS.
The next morning saw to it that it was pouring down rain, and everyone met for breakfast. They discussed on what to do after they get to the village.
"I say we buy some ostrich-horses and ride them to the coast, from there we will sail to Whale Tail Island." Sokka said.
"Buy? We have barely have any money, we used most of it to buy the tickets." Katara pointed out.
"Then we tell them that Aang is the avatar and he needs the ostrich-horses."
"I don't like using Aang, Sokka." Katara said.
"It might be the only way, Katara." Aang said, "I'll do it if I have to."
"Good, then it's settled." Toph said, getting up from her chair.
The train violently shaked, knocking everyone out of their seats.
"What was that!" Katara questioned.
"The train is going to fast around a turn." Toph said, placing her palm on the floor feeling out the train.
"If the train is going to fast...then...that means...its going to derail!" Sokka thought out to everyone.
"That's not good." Jet sputtered out.
"You think, Jet!" Sokka shouted to him.
"...Oh no..." Toph whispered, almost to herself.
Toph felt the first car of the train loose it's connection with the track, bringing the rest of the train with it. The group was shot forward, hitting a wall, knocking out Lin, Aang, and Toph. The train derailed into a forest, hitting trucks of trees and snapping branches. The lunch car, where the group was sitting, was one of the last cars in the train, which means it was one of the last ones to derail into the forest. This also meant that the lunch car had a higher chance of hitting train car sections in the forest.
The car was pulled off the rail, and flew into the forest. The nose of the car hit another car, that already crashed, flinging the group apart into the rain jungle.
Sokka's POV
"Where am I? What happened?" I thought to myself. I looked around, I was on a jungle floor, surrounded by trees and rain. "That explains to where I am, but what happened?" I again thought. Then it all came back me, the train had derailed. Then I remembered that Toph was knocked out. "She hit her head really bad on that wall." thinking to myself. I checked to see if any of my bones were broken, my left arm was broken, my ribs were sore, and my back just kills me. I managed to struggle to my feet, favoring my left arm, now deciding a plan of action, "I need to find Toph, I need her, I need my best friend. I need to make sure she is okay, that she isn't hurt." With this in my head, I set out to find Toph.
Jet's POV
"Awesome. This just sucks." I thought, "Luckily, I landed in this bush. I don't think any of my bones are broken." I checked to see, and I was right. "Wait, where's Lin? I know she got knocked out cold back on the train, but she could have landed too far away from me." I thought. I got up from my rain drenched bush, and set out to find Lin.
Katara's POV
"Where's Aang?" was all I could think of, from the moment I woke up. Something caught the attention of my eyes. "What is that?" I thought. It was in the distance, a glowing white, that looked familiar. "It's Aang! His Avatar State must have kicked in as defensive measure." I thought to myself, getting onto my feet. I ran to where Aang was, tripping over tree roots, and stumbling over pitfalls. I ran to his side, where I saw him look at me, and start to back out of the Avatar State. I caught him before he collapsed to the forest floor. I gave him a once over, and saw that his chest was bruised badly, along with mine. I didn't care about my health, I was too worried about Aang to notice my injuries. I pulled out my healing water and began to work on his chest.
Sokka's POV
My eyes saw something green, with a black top, laying on the ground. I ran over to it, and I saw that it was Toph. "Yes, I found you Toph. Now come on." I thought to myself picking her up into my arms, bridal-style. I made note of a cave on my search for Toph, and walked back to it. The rain was really picking up, and the lightening was starting. "It's never good to by in a forest when there is lightening." I thought. When I got to the cave, I saw that Toph was shivering, hypothermia was settling into her body. "What to do when someone has hypothermia, it only has one step. Warm the person up by any means necessary." I thought to myself, I then shuttered at the thought of what I had to do. I couldn't make a fire because all the wood would be wet, so I had only one choice. I had to take off Toph's clothes and share my body warmth with her. I closed my eyes, and set out on my quest to undress the girl. I noticed I was shivering too, but I only took off my shirt, leaving my pants on. Since Toph was shivering the most I had to take off all of her clothes, except her undergarments. I finished ten minutes later, and I pulled her back close to my chest, and watch for the rain to stop.
Jet's POV
I found Lin lying face down in a puddle of water. I rushed to her side, flipped her over, and performed CPR to save her life. At my job, someone fell of the shipping boat, where I pulled them out of the water, and someone showed me how to do CPR. I titled her head back, opening her airway, checked for a pulse, which there was one; however, when I check to see if she was breathing, she wasn't. I acted quickly, performing mouth-to-mouth. After blowing into her mouth five times, I lifted off her mouth, and pushed on her sternum, in an attempt to push the water out of her lungs. On the third push she chocked and coughed the water out of her body. She could only look and me, and threw me into a deep hug, pushing her chest against mine.
"Thank you for saving my life."
"It was nothing."
"No really, thank you."
The End (of Chapter 8)
You may have noticed that the chapters are shorter, this is for a reason. Cliffhangers, updates everyday, keeps the chapters from dragging on and on, more precise action, keeps the story simple, and I like short chapters.
There will be longer chapters, but I need to set up stuff first before we can get to that, more TOKKA fluff is on the way I promise! Next chapter is all Tokka. I swear.
