The Love Between Water and Fire
Chapter 10-Katara, Kidnapped by Admiral Zhao
Mei was turning 5 this month, she looked a lot like Katara, but she had Zuko's eyes, skin tone and temper. When ever she got mad, steam would come from her hands and she would have the ability to fire bend, but when she was calm she could only water bend. The problem with Mei was, she couldn't do two of the elements at the same time, her temper changes with the element.
Katara is now 19 years old, Sokka is 20 and Aang is now 17. 5 years passed since Aang defeated the Fire Lord, but that doesn't mean Zuko took place as the new Fire Lord. After the Fire Lord lost to Aang, Zuko was crossing the sea to the Fire Nation, and arrived there 4 months later. Since Zuko didn't capture the avatar, the Fire Lord made Zhao the new Fire Lord. When Zuko heard about the news, he didn't know what to do, so he challenged Zhao to the Agni Kai, a fire duel, hoping to take back his thrown. He lost to Zhao a few hours later, and he banished Zuko once again along with Iroh and the other soldiers. Now, Zuko wonders the sea upon his ship, looking for his lost love.
Meanwhile,
Katara, Sokka and Aang live at the North Pole, where cities now rise at the site where old towns use to be. They now live near the Water Nation temple, in a small village called Bing Liang (which means ice-cold).
"Mommy I'm cold!" complained Mei.
"You never complained about the cold weather before." said Katara.
"Can you tell Uncle Aang to make me warm?" asked Mei.
"He's in town right now." said Katara. "I'll get you more blankets."
Katara walked over to the closet where she kept the extra blankets, and pulled out three blankets.
"Is this enough for you Mei?" asked Katara.
There was a knock on the door.
Katara walked over to Mei's bed and wrapped her with the blanket.
"Stay here." said Katara.
Mei nodded.
Katara walked over to the door and opened it.
A fire nation soldier stood in front in her.
"Are you the woman that goes by the name Katara?" asked the soldier.
"Why do you ask?" asked Katara.
"Fire Lord Zhao sent us." said the soldier.
"Fire Lord Zhao?" asked Katara. "What happened to Zuko?"
"Banished, we haven't seen him for 5 years. Rumors are that he died after the fire duel, but we're not really sure." said the soldier. "So are you the woman or not?"
"What does Zhao want?" asked Katara.
"We're not sure what he wants, he just sent us here." said the soldier.
"I'm not the woman you're looking for. Go and look somewhere else." said Katara.
The soldier bowed, "Sorry to interupt." And he walked away to the next house.
Katara closed the door and locked it.
"Mei, we need to get out of here." said Katara.
"Why mommy?" asked Mei.
"No time for questions." said Katara.
Katara packed everything they needed in a small backpack.
Suddenly there was a hard knock on the door.
"Open up! We know you're in here Katara!" said the soldier from before.
Katara grabbed Mei's hand and they headed for the secret escape door hidden underneath the fur mat.
Katara kicked the mat out of the way, pulled the latch and made their way down the stairs, she closed the latch tightly and locked it from the inside.
She heard the door slam open, so she quickly blew on the latch to make the door frozen. Katara carried Mei in her arms and ran for down the long hall way that led to an underground ice chamber.
Once they were in the ice chamber, there was a door made of ice that led to the city of Bing Tian xue Di (which means a world of ice and snow). Katara looked around and noticed that the streets were deserted.
"Mommy, where is everybody?" asked Mei.
"I don't know." said Katara.
Katara walked down the streets.
"There she is!" yelled one of the fire nation soldiers.
When Katara turned back, a group of Fire Nation soldiers blocked her from escaping. She had no where to run.
"You can't run, and you can't hide." said the soldier.
"You can take me, but you can't take Mei!" said Katara.
"We're taking you both." said the soldier.
The soldier locked them up in a large cage, and they transported them to the ship.
When they got to the ship, they were placed in the cargo room.
The ship set sail and left the city of Bing Tian xue Di.
Meanwhile,
When Aang and Sokka came home, they found the place trashed and the escape door burnt.
"The Fire Nation!" said Sokka.
Aang picked up Mei's burnt doll. "We have to get them back."
"How?" asked Sokka.
"It's time to call Appa." said Aang. Aang took out his bison whistle, to call Appa from the Water Nation temple and arrived a few seconds later.
Once Aang and Sokka got on Appa, they both took off and searched the sea for the Fire Nation ship.
Meanwhile,
The soldiers were called to Zhao's room aboard the ship.
"Did you find the girl?" asked Zhao.
"Yes, she tried to make an escape, but we managed to get her." said the soldier.
"Good." said Zhao. 'This will make Zuko's life even more miserable than before.'
