Aaaand we're back with more monstrosities!
Side note: my handwriting is getting better in the original draft, so I'm guessing this was the point where I started writing less often, instead of constantly. So the writing style might get better, but I promise the content will only get worse...
Mizoko opened her eyes. Was it all a dream? she thought. The Firebending, the party, the Avatar, the warship, the fuse, the boy...
Mizoko then realized that she was drenched and shivering. She slowly got to her feet, then collapsed. Her legs felt so weak. She needed something to lean upon. Her eyes fell upon a large chunk of ice about 10 feet away. It could help her regain the use of her legs.
Once again, Mizoko stood up. Her legs shook, but didn't buckle. She started to hobble in the direction of the chunk of ice.
Meanwhile, Zuko felt a jolt of fear run through him. She was coming in his direction! He couldn't stay there; she would see him. Yet, Zuko couldn't run; she would see him even sooner. When the girl would see him, she would scream, call the Waterbenders, and they would kill or capture him. Zuko's fate was in her hands.
Wait a minute, he thought, if I can sneak around before she sees me, I can run away safely. But, if I run, I won't be able to see if she's Mizoko!
While he thought this over, he failed to notice that the girl had collapsed. When Zuko finaly noticed, his eyes widened with horror. Her ankle stuck out at an odd angle, and was lying in a pool of blood. Her breaths came out in ragged gasps.
"No," Zuko whispered, "No, why her, of all people?" Rushing to her side, he examined her ankle.
"I thought so," he said to himself. Something had bitten her, probably an eel or even a small shark. Wwwhatever it was, it bit this girl with enough force to break her ankle.
He had to find help for her fast. But he was a Firebender. Zuko stared in dismay at his Fire Nation uniform.
Suddenly, an idea struck Zuko. To protect their skin from sores, the Fire Nation soldiers wore long oolen tunics uncerneath their armor. If he took off his armor, he could pass as a simple boy.
Zuko immediatly started taking off his armor. When he finished, he picked up the girl and ran.
Then he heard it. A sound he heard a lot. Fearing the worst, he turned around.
A huge army was making its way toward the North Pole. Only one man Zuko know could be behind it. Admiral Zhao. He was always trying to make sure that Zuko never got home. That meant either the Avatar was here, or Zhao was here to take Mizoko for himself!
...I scare myself sometimes. Stay tuned for the next chapter!
And hey, while you're waiting, and if you want to burn your eyes further, I recently found my old stuff on MediaMiner under the penname ShadowFireHeart. It mostly has Yu-Gi-Oh stuff, inncluding a crossover with Pokemon, and it is hilariously bad if you're interested.
You can also check my DeviantART account under the name MileniumSpiritSarana, where you can find an old picture of Mizoko if you're willing to dig past all the ponies and stuff.
See you soon!
