The days at the Air Temple were getting boring. Aang and Zuko's firebending was coming along nicely. One day, everything changed. A sudden bolt of lightning shot down at the temple. Everyone jumped. It was Azula. "Quick! Get the kids out of here." Yelled Mako, as he dodged each of Azula's attacks.

Azula knew that the group had kids in the group, but she didn't know about this character, a strong young nimble man who strongly resembled anyone in the fire nation. He quickly jabbed a couple of Fire blasts at her and ran off, he was a firebender. Then Zuko came out. He fought her off and finally they met fire and a great explosion came out! Zuko and Azula fell, but Zuko was caught. Azula stopped herself. She looked at the mysterious fire nation man and shot lightning at him and he fell. "Mako!" screamed Jinora.

"It's too late to turn back now," Said Zuko as steadily as he could. "We'll save him after the war."

Tears built up in the childrens eyes, they looked towards Aang. Aang looked down in agreement. No…..No. They couldn't let this happen, he has been with them for sooo long, she embraced her sister. This is how they felt when Lin was captured, she sacrificed herself for them and Korra, Mako had just done the same. After hours of Travel, they arrived at Ember Island. For the first time….without Mako. Jinora refused to talk to anyone she just found herself a room and locked it up. She didn't cry, she didn't think, she simply thought… thought about Mako, Korra, Lin, and her Dad. She had to do this for them and nothing was going to stop her. She pulled out her glider that she along with Ikki managed to hide from everyone else. After midnight she went to Ikki and Meelo and woke them. "Ikki, Meelo."

"Who is this? It's 2 in the morning, this better be important, said Meelo.

"It's me. Look…" she paused eying them carefully. This was Jinora's serious look, not just her normal serious look, but her serious serious look. "They honestly can't expect us to sit around and wait for this war to end, before we can get Mako back. He is like family to us, and I'm not going to let him slip away just like we let Lin go."

The association between Lin and Mako made the kids understand. This had to be done. "Let's go."

"No!" Jinora said "I'm the most advanced airbender, I'll go on my glider. This is a solo mission. You guys will stay here and cover for me."

"It's too dangerous Jinora," Exclaimed Ikki.

"I know," Jinora said, perched on the window looking out into the storm. "But he is family to us, I have to do this." And without another word she jumped from the window out into the thundering sky. Meelo and Ikki watched as their sister disappeared beyond the rain.

The next morning, they woke uneasily, knowing that their sister had invaded the fire nation capital. Katara gave them breakfast as they watched Aang and Zuko train. "Where's Jinora?" asked Katara.

Oh no. They hadn't thought about this. "She left," said Ikki with all the confidence she could muster. Meelo looked at her inquisitively.

"Well she couldn't have gone far," said Katara with a sudden conclusion. Meelo and Ikki sighed, thankfully she bought it.

"No. she's not even close. I can't feel her anywhere," said Toph looking concerned.

"Meelo…..Ikki….where is Jinora?" katara asked slowly.

Aang and Zuko stopped firebending. All eyes were on them. They wanted to avoid this. Jinora was on her way to the fire nation Capital. Her mission depended on them. Their eyes darted back and forth as if wanting to escape. "Don't bother lying, I can tell," said Toph.

"Please don't tell me what I think you're going to tell me," said Aang with extreme guilt filling his eyes. They just looked at him. He has failed as Avatar. He should have jumped at the chance to save Mako. Now he has placed the life of Jinora in danger too. Visions of Jinora and Mako echoed through his head as he stumbled backwards. "No."

Meanwhile… Mako is interrogated by Azula and Ozai. Azula brought Mako to her father. She is pacing around the throne room "Now…. Tell me this." She said in her very authoritative tone "Why would a strong suitable fire nation man be fighting alongside the avatar?"
