"Li-Liem?" Aang asked. "What are you.." General Zhao interrupted him, "Enough Avatar, you're coming with us.." At this, Aang was lifted to his feet. Zhao bound Aang's hands together. "Follow me..." he then commanded.

Aang began to follow him.. "Wait a minute...what am I doing..I'm the Avatar.." he thought to himself. A smirk soon appeared on his face as he quickly glanced at Liem.

"What are you smiling at Avatar?" General Zhao retorted. Aang turned towards him and gave a big grin. "Oh nothing..except you forgot something.."

Zhao stopped in his tracks. "Oh really, and what would that be?"

Aang smiled even bigger and replied, "That I can do this!" Before Zhao could react Aang breathed in heavily and blew out a huge blast of air from his mouth, pushing him back quickly and far away from Zhao and Liem. "Catch that Avatar!" Zhao screamed as he threw a fireball towards Aang's direction. "Yes sir!" Liem replied and darted after Aang.

Aang finally relaxed as he blew himself to a safe spot. "Now how to untie my hands..." He sat for a moment thinking and then jumped to his feet. "That's it!" he yelled excitedly.

"Concentrate..." he thought to himself. Aang sat silent for a moment until a flame sparked the rope and the rope began to burn until Aang's hands were free. Clap Clap Clap. Aang could hear the sound of clapping from behind him. He swiftly whipped around

Liem walked towards Aang. "I see that I've taught the Avatar quite well." Aang stood his ground and took a battle stance. "Relax Aang, I don't want to fight you..I want to help you.." "I don't believe you!" Aang yelled back. Liem laughed, "Well, now why would I want to harm the Avatar..I mean really, what's in it for me?" Aang eased up from his stance, but continued to stare deeply at Liem.

"I mean...if I capture the Avatar..all that is going to happen is, Zhao will take you from me.. and then he'll get rewarded by Firelord Ozai..and then I'll be left with nothing." Aang just stared at Liem with a confused expression. "So no...I'm not going to take you to Zhao..you have nothing to worry about..."

Aang then replied, "How can I believe you?" Liem just looked at him. "Well if you remember what happened earlier.." she answered back. Aang thought about the kiss that Liem gave him, and he soon blushed. "Oh yeah..well-" Liem then quickly interrupted him, "Hurry..I hear footsteps, we have to go!" She grabbed Aang by the hand and the two began to run deeper into the woods. Finally they reached a clearing, and she and Aang stopped to catch their breath.

"We should be safe here for a while..."Liem reassured Aang. He looked at her and smiled, "You know what..I told my friends that not all fire nation people are bad." Liem fakely smiled and looked down at the ground and replied softly.."Yeah..we're not all bad.." Aang then walked over to a small creek and waterbended some water into his mouth, when he suddenly heard the crackinf of a stick. He waited for another sound, and once he heard another stick crack he took the water and created a wip and shot the water into the direction of the sounds.

Before he could realized what was going on, he and Liem were being ambushed. "Don't worry Liem, we'll be fine.." but she did not say anything. "Liem?" he said while turned around. To his great disappointment and fear he saw Liem standing on top of a rock next to Zhoa with a smirk on her face. He did all he could do to fight off the Fire Nation army..but unsuccessfully fell to his knees. He couldn't believe it..he had no strength or Chi left to fight...he couldn't trigure the Avatar state, and his friends weren't there to help him...he was defeated. He closed his eyes, and quietly whispered to himself.."I failed.."
