Chapter 12
Things, surprisingly, went a lot smoother after that. Kura mastered Earthbending with Toph in no time. Then, Firebending. It was quite difficult, considering there was a war going on. But, once they found Iroh locked away in some prison and broke him out, he agreed to train Kura, as an apology for his nephew.
Firebending proved very difficult for Kura, considering the opposition between fire and water. But, in time, that was mastered as well. They continued to practice (during food/potty/sleeping breaks) on the way out to the Northern Air Temple. There, they found Teo, who now knew how to Airbend.
Airbending training was as simple as Earthbending, and finally Kura had mastered all for elements. Of course, they had run into loads of trouble throughout their travels, but now...came the really frightening part: facing the Fire Lord.
The gang came up with a plan to sneak into the Fire Nation and confront the Fire Lord. They had heard tell (when in the Fire Nation to get Iroh) of a massive attack on Ba Sing Se during Ran-Chi's comet. Kura, Sokka, Suki, and Toph would confront the Fire Lord and his airship fleet. Kura would face (and, hopefully, defeat) the Fire Lord, while Sokka, Suki, and Toph handled the air-fleet. Meanwhile, Katara and Iroh would take care of a certain Fire Princess who was planning on becoming Fire Lord. And the rest of the members of the Order of the White Lotus (who had been gathered at the last minute by Iroh) would take Ba Sing Se back for the Earth Kingdom.
[They, of course, had no idea how similar this was to the plan they would've had, if Aang hadn't died. It merely seemed to be the best course of action for them. So, this was their plan, and hopefully it would work out as well for Kura as it did for Aang.]
A/N – Yes, yes, I know, this was disappointingly short, I'm sorry. It was really just a way to catch you up on what's going on.
I've decided to skip ahead to the end, because, apparently, there's only one person reading this fic. I'm not really too interested in this one anymore, so I don't want to put so much time into it for one reader. However, I don't want to jip my one reader out of an ending! =) So (my apologies, but) I'm skipping to the end and finishing it up.
If there are more readers out there, I'll change it in a way that I can continue. But you've gotta make yourselves known!If you people want this story to keep going, THEN REVIEW! If not, my apologies to my one loyal reader, but this is the beginning of the end. So, in a week or two, I will come out with "The Penultimate."
