Katara smiled as the Southern Water Tribe came into view.
"Here we are!" yelled Katara, "We're here! We're home…"
Zuko walked up behind Katara and wrapped his arms around her waist, took hold of her hands, and nuzzled her cheek, causing Katara to blush.
"Do you realize that the last time we were here…" Zuko said, "I was your enemy?"
She turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist and looked deep into his golden eyes that she couldn't help but get lost in.
"Are you my enemy now?"
Zuko looked deep into her eyes, "No." After he said this, he leaned in and kissed her silently on the lips.
"Ummm…hate to interrupt your love fest over there but I gotta pee." said Toph annoyed.
Katara and Zuko broke apart and Zuko said rather angrily, "Can't you go by yourself!"
"Yeah I can! I learned how to a couple years ago but the thing is…haha…this floor is ice so I can't see. And knowing our luck, I might pee in some kid's toy box." she said.
Zuko glared at her once more before turning around and kissing Katara good bye for the moment.
"I see you have a boyfriend now." said a familiar voice that made Katara's heart leap with joy.
"Gran Gran!" yelled Katara as she ran into the waiting arms of her grandmother.
"Oh I've missed you," she said stroking her granddaughter's hair. She stepped back and studied her face with a smile and said, "You look more like your mother everyday."
"Gran Gran, we need to talk to you it's very important." said Sokka.
"That can wait, come hug your Grandmother boy!"
"Ugghh!" Sokka said as he walked over to hug his grandmother.
"Are you his girlfriend?" she said to Suki.
"Yes Ma'am." Suki said happily.
"You poor thing, you have a lot of work to do." said Gran Gran.
"Gran Gran listen…," said Sokka, "The Water Kingdom is under attack. The queen herself gave us direct orders for you guys to arm the village and not to come to their aid."
"Oh no!" Gran Gran said. "We'll do that immediately I-." She was interrupted as screams broke out from the village. A huge wave came crashing down and completely destroyed the wall protecting the tribe. Riding the wave…was Marina.
"Gran Gran go, get in the house now!" Sokka yelled. Hearing the commotion, Zuko ran out and joined the rest of the group on the beach.
"What's wrong?" Zuko yelled. Sokka pointed towards the ocean where Marina was treading water, still in her mermaid form.
Zuko leapt forward and sent a huge fire bolt towards Marina. Smiling, Marina flipped backwards in the water, using her fin to create a giant ice wall that blocked Zuko's attack. Marina then came back up and slammed her fist against the wall. The water came crashing into Zuko's body and sent him flying backwards against a glacier.
Toph moved her feet and brought her arms up, sending five giant boulders towards Marina. Marina ducked into the water and came back up, and using her arms as propellers, she sent ice blades toward Toph. Toph bended a rock shield to block the attack, but because Toph did not have direct contact with the earth, her shield was weak. The blades collided with her shield, broke through it, and knocked her backwards.
Suki and Sokka rushed toward the water to attack Marina. Marina waved her arms towards them and created a tidal wave, knocking them to the ground.
Aang stood on the beach and began to wildly send air blasts towards her. Lifting her arm and pulling it toward her, Marina bended a glacier that was behind Aang. The glacier was sent forward and slammed into Aang, knocking him unconscious.
Standing in front of On Ji, Iroh began to attack. Dodging one of his fire blasts, Marina bended a water pillar that rose and levitated her fifty feet in the air. Iroh did not stop his attacks and unleashed more and more of his fire blasts. Bending the water pillar, Marina twisted and turned as she dodged his attacks and sent water blasts back at him. Iroh successfully dodged the attacks and unleashed a great fire blast at her. Lifting her arms, the water created a great wall that smote Iroh's attack. She slammed her fist forward and sent a powerful wave of icefire at him. Iroh waved his arms frantically, bending a huge wall of flame to defend him and On Ji against Marina's attack. The icefire made contact and the force of the hit knocked On Ji and Iroh several feet backwards and onto the ground. She then turned to face Katara.
Marina waved her arms and pointing them at Katara, sending five huge water funnels towards her. Katara ran towards her and waved her arm to the left, freezing the funnels. She moved her wrists, causing the funnels to shatter in ice. Katara spun around, water following her movements and sent a great wave spiraling at Marina. Marina clapped her hands in front of her, bending the water into fog. Distraction having worked, Katara thrust her hands upwards causing Marina's own water pillar to engulf her and freeze.
With a scream of anger, Marina slammed her fists into her ice prison that sent hundreds of ice rocks flying at Katara. Katara moved her arms back and forth quickly, causing the ice rocks to dissolve. Marina leapt forward in the air and landed on her feet on the ground next to her. Spinning around, Marina unleashed a great wave that crashed into Katara and sent her into the ocean. Moving her arms in a circular motion, a giant whirlpool was created and Katara fell into it, landing hard on the seafloor. Marina slammed her fists together and froze the whirlpool. Letting each finger go loose, giant ice spikes erupted from the whirlpool into Katara. Katara dodged the spikes and used them to climb out of the whirlpool. Slamming her fists forward, she was propelled back onto the beach. Landing on her feet, she sent the wave back at Marina. Marina lifted her leg and sent the wave crashing back onto Katara in the form of icefire, Katara leapt out of the path of the flames and stood facing Marina in a water bending stance.
With a smile, Marina jumped into the air and called all the water to her body. The water encased her entire body and expanded, creating a giant water form of a human. Too shocked to move, Katara was knocked backwards as one of Marina's water arms collided with her chest. Using her great water body to walk towards Katara, she prepared to drown Katara in a giant wave.
Recovering from his attack, Zuko saw Marina's towering water form advancing on his girlfriend. Panicking, Zuko did the only think he could think of and shot a bolt of lightning at Marina's water leg. The lightning made contact and quickly spread up the water giant and hit Marina who was in the center. Marina unleashed a terrifying scream as she passed out from the pain. Marina fell, fifty feet to the floor with the water falling around her.
"Mistress!" Sya screamed as she bended a wave that sent her flying forward, catching Marina. Craeus looked at Zuko with hatred in his eyes as he bended a wave that sent him and Sya, who was holding Marina, forward, back towards their Fine Nation war ship.
Zuko rushed forward to help Katara up. She used her healing water to awaken the fallen members of the Gang. Fully revived, they ran towards Appa and boarded him quickly. With a last look at the Southern Tribe, Appa leapt into the sky and flew for the Northern Water Tribe.
Marina got her ass kicked!! REVIEW!!
