A/N: Sorry for the wait! I've been busy! But anyway, this one is a lot of fighting, and you all know I suck at fight scenes lol. But I tried my best! So please enjoy!
Dislaimer: I do not own Avatar, just Serenity.
I opened my eyes slowly, lifting my head up and rubbing my eyes. I had fallen asleep on Zuko's back apparently, since I had no idea where we were now. There was grass everywhere, and a few mountains were around us. Plus we seemed to be going at a faster speed than normal.
"Um…Zuko? What's going on?" I asked yawning at the end.
"That's what I'm finding out." He said and I looked up at him confused.
"What?" He pointed to the ground, and I followed his finger, to see two straight lines going across the ground. They looked like tracks, but from what? "What is that?"
"I just told you I'm finding that out. Though I have a pretty good idea who it is." He said annoyed and I glared at him.
"Who?" I asked confused, as I looked ahead of us and saw smoke coming from something.
We caught up to it, but no one was on board except the crew, who we easily dealt with. After that, we rode off again, and eventually came to an old ghost town, which was actually kind of creepy.
"Um…Zuko? What are we doing here?" I asked scared.
"Shh!" he said walking the ostrich-horse between the buildings.
I glared at him about to say something when I heard talking nearby. So there were people here? And the voices sounded familiar. The one I recognized as Aang, which made me happy because I was glad he was still alive. The other, I couldn't figure out who it was. Until we got closer that is.
"Do you really want to fight me?" Azula asked Aang smirking.
That's when Zuko and I jumped off the ostrich-horse and it ran off. "Yes." Zuko said taking his hat off and glaring at his sister. "I really do."
"Zuko!" Aang said. "And…Serenity?"
I smiled slightly and waved. This wasn't the setting I would have liked to see him in again, but I guess there was no other way. It was then I realized Katara and Sokka weren't with him. So where were they?
"I was wondering when you'd show up Zu-Zu." Azula smirked. "And uh….you're little friend too. Serenity, was it?"
I glared at her, balling my hands into fists. "Back off Azula! He's mine." Zuko said angrily getting in between her and Aang. I pulled the cork out of my pouch of water, and got in a fighting stance. I wasn't going to be the only one not fighting here.
Azula got in a fighting stance. "I'm not going anywhere."
The four of us stared at each other. Azula, smirking at the three of us. Zuko, glancing between Azula and Aang. Aang, readying his staff and taking a step back. And me, looking between all three of them. If Zuko started attacking Azula, I'd fight her. If Azula started attacking Aang or Zuko, I'd fight her. But if Zuko started attacking Aang, could I fight him? Aang was like a little brother to me, and I didn't want to see him hurt. But could I fight Zuko?
Suddenly Azula attacked Zuko, sending blue fire at him. He blocked with his own fire as I quickly jumped out of the way, sending water towards her. She knocked it quickly away, and shot a big thing of blue fire at Aang, who had tried to escape. He blew it away with his staff and fell to the ground.
I watched as Aang dodged Azula's attacks. Zuko was attacking her at the same time, and Aang even began attacking. I didn't know what to do, whether I should join in or not….
Zuko jumped in the air and attacked his sister, and the two of them began fighting. Quickly I made a decision. I made water from a nearby barrel spill onto the ground, then turned it into ice, freezing Azula's feet to the ground. She glared at me and sent fire at me, causing me to duck quickly.
Azula broke free from the ice in time to dodge one of Zuko's attacks, and attack Aang in return who was coming up behind her. The two ran up into a building, and I ran over to Zuko. He growled and stood up, running after them.
"Zuko wait!" I yelled annoyed, following him. I heard Zuko yell, and quickly stopped when I got to the top of the stairs, so as not to fall down into the hole. Apparently Zuko wasn't so lucky. I covered my mouth to hold in a giggle. I mean come on! It was funny.
I quickly dodged an attack from Azula, who I now noticed was standing right next to me. She then attacked Aang, who dodged the fire and flew on his air ball over, knocking her off to the ground. I jumped down into the hole, where Azula and Zuko now were. I glared at her and shot water at her, but she deflected it, and kicked me back into the wall.
I groaned as my back hit, and fell to the ground. Hearing an explosion, I looked up and saw Zuko fly through a hole that was made by Azula attacking him. I got up as quickly as I could, wincing as I ran out to check on Zuko who was lying on the ground.
"Zuko? Are you okay?" I asked, checking him over. He didn't look too hurt.
"Serenity?" I looked up, and saw Katara and Sokka staring at me shocked.
"Katara!" I smiled then remembered something. "Aang's in trouble! He's in there!" I said gesturing to the building I noticed Azula go into.
Katara nodded and ran off, as Sokka glared at me. "Oh what, no hello for me?"
I rolled my eyes and looked back down at Zuko, as Sokka ran off to help Katara. Suddenly she ran out of the building, Azula right behind her. Sokka however came out of a door and tried to attack Azula, who dodged, and backed up as Aang, Katara, and Sokka cornered her.
A shadow loomed over me and Zuko, and I looked up just as Zuko opened his eyes, and smiled. It was Iroh!
"Uncle…" Zuko said quietly, just as shocked as I was.
"Get up!" Iroh said, as Zuko took his hand and sat up. He looked over at me, and we both smiled at each other.
I stood up and looked over to see the other four in a 3 on 1 battle. That is until Azula fell to the ground, and standing behind her was a young girl, with black hair, who was wearing an Earth Kingdom outfit.
"I thought you guys could use some help." She said.
When I looked over, Zuko and Iroh had disappeared, and I looked around frantically for them. However, I found them when Azula tried to run off, and ended up running into Iroh. The seven of us cornered her, ready to finish her off.
"Well, look at this." She said smirking. "Enemies and traitors, all working together. I'm done. I know when I'm beaten." My eyes narrowed in suspicion as she raised her hands in the air. "You got me. A princess surrenders with honor."
I glanced at the others, not sure what to do. Should we attack her? Or should we let her go? I gasped, as suddenly she attacked Iroh, hitting him in the chest with fire and sending him flying back.
"Iroh!" I said shocked, before we all turned and attacked her at the same time: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. She blocked with a circle of fire, and caused an explosion.
When the smoke cleared, Azula was gone, and so was Zuko. I looked around, afraid she had gotten him, when I saw him over next to Iroh. I quickly ran over and kneeled next to him.
"Zuko….I can help him, remember?" I said quietly, placing my hand on his shoulder. I noticed the other walk up behind us.
"GET AWAY FROM US!" Zuko yelled at them.
"Zuko I can help too!" Katara said and my eyes widened. She…had the healing power too?
"LEAVE!" he yelled sending fire at them.
I noticed them look at each other before running off. Katara and Sokka glanced back at me, and I waved slightly, before turning back to Zuko.
"Will you please let me look at him?" I asked, not getting an answer. "Zuko…."
"Fine." He whispered. I nodded and took water out of my pouch. The water went around my hand and I placed it on Iroh's chest as it started glowing.
I sighed after a few minutes, and put the water back into the pouch. "I did everything I could Zuko. His wound is just too deep to heal completely. But he should be fine now."
I looked over at Zuko who was staring down at Iroh, no expression on his face. I looked down and took Zuko's hand in mine, trying to convey to him that everything would be alright. I knew one thing for certain. Azula, was going to pay deeply for this, and she'd be lucky if she survived.
