'KABOMB!' That was Aang kept hearing as he was being dragged by hand. Some guards rushed into their way block them from going any further.
"Still want more? Huh?" the person said in a haughtily voice as they suddenly stopped. Aang ran into said person, and saw it wore a black slim huntress out fit, with a white moon crest on the back, her face was covered by a porcelain feline mask with black streaks indicating were her eyes, nose, mouth, and a black moon crest were located.
"Stand down, and we'll go easy on ya girl" a guard said to her. The girl didn't waver one bit and reached into her bag to pull out some……snow?
"The name's not girl….." she started as she packed the snow into a snowball, with a secret ingredient.
"It's Artemis, A-R-T-E-M-I-S, commit to memory and pass it on….." Artemis said as she tapped her fore head and then threw the snow ball that it exploded at their feet. The explosion caused a great smoke cloud that allowed them to run by.
"Hey what's going on?" Aang asked her as the were running up some stairs.
"Geeze, Aang can't you recognize me? I mean my voice should've gave me away….." Artemis said to Aang.
"Saya?" he asked her.
"Who else?" she responded to him as they ran into a supply closet. Saya locked the door behind them and put her ear to the door to check that no one was near by.
"Saya, What's going on?" Aang asked again as he realized he had Diva's violin in his hand. He put behind his back quickly before Saya saw.
"Busting you out, now let's see…….7.….6.…5.…4.…3.….2.…and 1!" Saya said and then a huge vibration shook the whole ship.
"What was that!?"
"Katara, she put up a series of snow bombs around the ship" Saya explain as she looked into her back that was full of snow.
"Snow Bombs?"
"They're a little invention that Kat made up when we would have snow ball fights, you see you pack hot moisture and cold moisture inside a snowball until you feel it might explode with the slightest touch" she said as she made another bomb. (If anyone ever knows what the reasgan is, it's like that but packed into a small snow ball).
"Let's go that was our cue to go" Saya said as she turned to Aang. Aang stood there unsure for a bit, he still had Diva's broken violin and didn't want to leave it like that behind.
"Saya….." he started as he looked at the floor.
"What's wrong Aang?" she asked.
"Do you have room in your bag?" he asked embarrassed.
"Yea…..Why?" she asked, then she saw him take a broken violin from behind his back. The wood was horribly destroy beyond repair, but the strings were intact.
"Where'd you get that?" Saya asked.
"When I was in the cell, the girl, Diva showed it to me and it got broken when you got me out, and by accident I grabbed it when you pulled me out" Aang explained.
"Let me guess you want to fix it?" she said to him.
"……Yea….."
"The wood is beyond repair, but……..out of some new wood it's possible" she said with a smirk in her voice.
"So is that is that a yes?" Aang asked.
"Yea…..but it's our secret, got it?" she said as she put the violin in her bag under the snow carefully.
"Thank you Saya" he said her happily.
"Thank me when we get out of here" she said as she unlocked the door and dragged him to the upper deck.
-------6minutes later After Aang and everyone escapes-----
Zuko stared off into the sky where the sword girl(he doesn't know Katara's name) and her friends flew off with the Avatar into the north. Their attack was sudden, but well planned, he admits. Two girls jumped from the bison's back and began to throw some sort of smoke bombs at them.
"Zuko…." his uncle called from behind him.
"Uncle, the girl with the blue eyes……..she's……different" he said out of the blue.
"Huh?" Iroh responded confused.
"The swords girl, she beat me at my own game" Zuko said bittersweet.(A/n: everyone knows Zuko can fight with dual swords and Katara can fight with two Katanas like Leonardo, from Ninja turtles).
"Yes….well….uh….Zuko we counted the wounded…" Iroh started, trying his best not to break down.
"What's wrong uncle?" Zuko asked as he sensed his uncle's unease.
"It's…..Diva……"
"What happen?" he asked angrily.
"She was one of the wounded" he finished as a few tears streaked down his face. Zuko rushed off to the infirmary as quickly as his weaken body would allow. The infirmary wasn't that busy only about 6 guards were wounded, Zuko saw a group of healers by a bed and rushed over. A hand stopped him in his tracks.
"Prince Zuko" said one of the healers, Mao, who had long brown and light golden brown eyes.
"I understand you want to know how Diva is doing, but you must give us time, we barely just started checking her vital signs!" she explained angrily to him, out of all healers, Mao was the only one with enough eggs to talk to him like that.
"And you must understand that I have every right, to be here!" Zuko yelled at her. Now Mao got really angry.
"Listen if you don't keep that voice of yours down, I'll personally see to it that you'll be a permanent resident here!" Mao said as fire came out of her hands.
"Fine" he said defeated. "How….is my sister anyway Mao?"
"She'll be asleep for days, but she'll live" she explained
"Thank Agni….."
"But theirs is one thing I have to ask you…."
"What was she doing in the cell, anyway?" she asked Zuko.
"She was just watching the Avatar"
"Nothing else?"
"No"
"Well Alright I'll keep an eye on her and tell you when she wakes up, till then go on with what is you do!" she said as she shoed him off. Zuko soon found himself outside sick bay, with nothing else he left to tell his uncle about his daughter's well being.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR IDEA WORKED!" Saya said as she pulled of her mask and dump out the snow from her sack.
"What can I say? I'm a genius!" Sokka said proudly.
"Besides, you should really be thanking Kat! She's the on who did the major part in my plan!" he said.
"That prince had no chance the second time!" Katara said happily.
"Didn't you have the element of surprise?" Aang asked.
"Well yea, but….-"
"Could you beat him a second time on equal ground?" Saya asked.
"Maybe…..after all, he is good" Katara said in a dream like state.
"Do you have a thing with scar face(Zuko)? Gross!" Sokka said as he stuck out his tongue.
"DO NOT! I just admire his sword skills" Katara said as a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Ok whatever you say so, sissy" Saya said.
"Well where to?" Aang asked.
"The north pole, we got t find you a water bending master to teach and us" Katara said as she pulled out a map.
"Ok but can we make few stops on the way?"
"Depends…"
"Well can we first stop on Kyoshi Island first? I want to ride the huge surgeon serpent goldfish they got there!" Aang said.
"Well, I guess, but only for two days" Sokka said.
"Alright!" Aang said. "Come on, Appa make way to Kyoshi Island!" with a turn of the reigns their paths were set to collide soon again.
