Mystery's P.O.V
'What happened ? It feels like that time Azula hit me when I accidentally walked in on Azula when she was showering. Geez, she probably still hates me for that,' thought the mystery man. 'It seems like I'm in some sort of metallic box and that I'm being carried by four Fire Nation soldiers.' Suddenly he felt the soldiers stop moving and he felt them heave him into the ocean as started to sink.
That was when he realized there were tiny holes that were supposed to bring in water to drown him and make him sink faster. He then let out a burst of fire that incinerated the box, and started swimming away in the cold freezing waters of the North thinking, 'That traitor thought he could kill me by snapping my neck then drowning me. He should have known better, for I am Inferno.
No one's P.O.V
Team Avatar was very somber after the events of the day before, the day the Northern Water Tribe was defeated and the Avatar, their friend, was captured. They felt as if they betrayed him by leaving him there, most likely to die.
"Look, Gohan wouldn't want us to be moping around so we need to start training to rescue him," said Sokka. "First order of business, Aang how can you go into the Avatar State?" This immediately got Katara and Yue's attention. "Aang can go into the Avatar State?" After taking a deep breath and muttering something that suspiciously sounded like 'I knew this would happen' he responded.
"I can go into the Avatar State because I'm the Avatar," said Aang. "What a magnificent turn of events!" All eyes turned to the man they believed to be long dead, Inferno. "What are you doing here?!" yelled Team Avatar in unison. "Geez relax, I'm here to help you guys." The Team was highly suspicious of this but of course, it was Sokka the one who voiced it. "If you really want to help us then why did you fight alongside the Fire Nation against the Northern Water Tribe!"
Inferno's only reaction to this was a raised eyebrow as he said, "To be completely accurate I was on Zuko's side, not the Fire Nation's. Anyways, we both have a common goal seeing as we both need to free some people, so how about we put aside our differences and combine our efforts." The Team thought over it for a while before Aang spoke up. "Sure, we'll join forces for now since we can beat the soldiers and free Gohan on our own."
"I'm glad you see things my way. Anyways, we need to get you guys stronger to free your friend." However, Inferno then stared intensely at the Team as his face morphed into one of annoyance. "Hold up, I'm gonna need you guys to fight me first," said Inferno. "It'll be our pleasure!" shouted Katara as she tried to control the water from the sea in front of her only to remember that the Moon Spirit was killed so she fell back. However, Aang and Sokka went on the offensive sending quick and calculated strikes at Inferno which he nimbly dodged. Inferno delivered two quick kicks, knocking Aang and Sokka away. "Guys, use your most powerful attacks on me!"
"Alright then, you asked for it!" shouted Sokka as he and Aang got into the famed stance. "Kamehameha!" Two powerful Kamehamehas came rushing towards Inferno as they impacted causing a huge explosion. Sokka and Aang were panting wearily as they smiled thinking they'd won until Inferno stepped out of the smoke, unscathed. "I have to admit the combined power of your attacks could have completely destroyed the moon, but compared to me you guys are pathetic. You guys want to know something, when I was fighting you guys I was only using a 256th of my power," said Inferno, disappointedly.
The Team was greatly shocked at this news, as it was a huge wake-up call. Now more than ever they were determined to get stronger. "I honestly can't train you guys fast enough since your friend and Zuko are going to probably be executed soon, so I'm going to have to give those of you who are fighting a potential pill," said Inferno as he brought out three tablet-like pills.
"What are those?" asked Sokka. "These are potential pills, they unlock your full power if you swallow it. At first, they were skeptical about it, thinking that the pills were poisoned, but then Inferno said that he could've killed them already if he wanted to. However, in the end, the only one who took the pill was Sokka, and when he swallowed it he felt his power sky rocket to unimaginable levels.
Gohan's P.O.V
'Ugh...where am I?' thought Gohan, wearily. He could barely make out the feeling of the cold, unforgiving floor, and the metal bars caging him from the world. He was barely able to make out the sound of two people having a conversation. After a while of focusing, he was able to make out one voice as the cold voice of Zuko, but the other voice sounded female but he couldn't identify it.
"...traitor you know that right?" asked Zuko. "I don't care what you call me little Zuzu because I don't listen to outcasts," said the female. "Your mother would be ashamed of you!" yelled Zuko. "WELL MY MOM ISN'T HERE NOW IS SHE?!" the female voice raged before gaining her composure. "You have two days left to live until your execution, enjoy them while you can," said the female menacingly as she walked away slowly.
I then took this moment to speak. "How are we gonna get out of here?" I asked, the hoarseness of my voice surprising me. I slowly and painfully lifted my head so that I could see Zuko. "I honestly don't know," he said in a defeated voice. Zuko was pretty beat up and looked as he had several broken bones. He was also cuffed at his hands and feet rendering him immobile.
"I was thinking we could use our powers. I know that firebending, for me, is out of the question with me being cuffed and all, but I think that you might have some abilities you can use," said Zuko. "Honestly, fighting is out of the question since I'm too injured and it's not enough time for me to get a zenkai boost. I can't use some of my Ki abilities because of my injured state as well but there is one thing I could try."
"Do you mind saying?" asked Zuko, curiously. "Well while I was unconscious, I suddenly began to feel a sudden connection with Aang, like I was part of him." Zuko looked thoughtful for a moment before he replied, "If you feel connected to him you might have an empathy link, and from what I've heard my uncle say about them, you might be able to speak to him telepathically."
'That's so crazy it just might work!' I then began to look for the connection and when I finally found it, I realized it was almost like a bridge in a way. So I put a thought through it.
'Aang, Zuko and I need your help now! Zuko and I are going to get executed in two days!'
Aang's P.O.V
After everyone got over the shock of Sokka's new strength, Yue kept telling Inferno that they needed to go back and save her home, which Inferno shot down multiple times even when Sokka took to Yue's side. While the three were still bickering, Aang heard a voice call out to him.
'Aang, Zuko and I need your help now! Zuko and I are going to get executed in two days!'
'What was that?! Oh man, I seriously hope I'm not going crazy!' I thought, frantically.
'Aang! Can you hear me?!'
"Why does this voice sound like Gohan?" I muttered, quietly.
'Gohan! Is that you?!'
'Yeah, I need you guys to get Zuko and I out of here!'
'Sure thing, but where are you?'
'I think I'm underneath the Fire Nation or something, according to Zuko.'
'Ok, I'll be right there!'
"Aang are you alright, you look stressed," said Katara, concernedly. "Yeah I'm fine, but Gohan and Zuko are about to be toast in two more days." Everyone was shocked for a while but then their shock turned to confusion as Sokka voiced the question going through their minds. "How do you know?" asked Sokka. "He spoke to me somehow," said Aang. Everyone, aside from Inferno, was even further confused.
"Right now isn't the time to think about that, but now that we know how much time the Avatar and Zuko have, now we can go free the Northern Water Tribe," said Inferno, relieved he had Yue and Sokka finally off his case. "OK everyone, let's get on Appa!" I yelled as everyone got on Appa aside from Inferno and we flew back to the Northern Water Tribe to fight back.
No one's P.O.V
On a distant planet...
"...4,995...4,996...4,997...4,998...4,999 and 5,000!" yelled a man as he sprung himself upward. This man had been pushing himself hard in his intense training of 10x Earth's Gravity while doing upside-down push-ups on one pinkie. This man had unruly hair, an orange training GI with the kanji for turtle resting proudly on his chest, and a blue undershirt. This man was the dead savior of Earth, Son Goku.
Goku's attention turned to a short blue man with two antennas, King Kai, who had a look of high concentration on his face. "Hey King Kai, what's wrong?" asked Goku. "You know you've come along a great way Goku to the point that your strength eclipses mine and quite possibly the Prince of the Saiyans as well, but the secret you've been keeping away from your son is something that you can't face with brute strength," lectured King Kai. "I know I just wish I didn't have to keep that secret from him and I hope he can forgive me when finds out the truth," replied Goku, looking on with a sudden seriousness.
No one's P.O.V
"OK guys, what we're gonna do is this. Airhead, you free the Water Tribe inhabitants and don't let anyone stop you. Pineapplehead, you fight the IW soldier while Watergirl, Princess, and I go to the pond with the Moon Spirit. Now let's go!" commanded Inferno as he flew away with Katara and Yue running after him. "Wait! How do I get the IW to come out here?" asked Sokka. "Oh that's easy, he's coming towards you right now," said Inferno, nonchalantly.
Sokka turned just in time to block a strike from the IW but he still got pushed back by the force of the attack. The IW pressed a button on a device on his head as he scoffed, "Your power level is only 100 which means I'm one hundred times stronger than you." Sokka just smirked and charged up his energy until he was at his maximum, causing the IW's device to explode but not before he said, "What his power level...it's over 9000!"
Sokka charged at the IW with a quick punch that the IW barely blocked. This was followed by many other powerful swift punches, many of which the IW couldn't block. The IW charged a huge Ki blast and launched it at Sokka who took the blast head on unscathed. "Hey IW, I'm on tight schedule so I'm gonna have to end this now," said Sokka as he threw a punch that pierced through the IW's armor. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Ha!" yelled Sokka as he blasted the IW into the ocean.
Aang backhanded an incoming Fire Nation soldier and kneed another in the stomach as he continued his charge through the Fire Nation base. Aang finally made it to where the Water Tribe residents were being held and he ripped off the bars trapping them. "OK everyone, follow me!" yelled Aang. It seemed as if everything was going to go smoothly, but Aang should've known nothing was that simple for him. Ten Fire Nation soldiers surrounded Aang and the prisoners, all had their hands lit ablaze.
"Give up now while you still can," commanded the one Aang assumed was the leader. Aang just stood defiantly against the soldiers, but then he flickered out of sight. Aang had moved so fast that no one was able to track him when he knocked out nine soldiers and leveled his staff at the leader.
"I think it's you who should surrender," said Aang, coldly. Before the soldier could respond Aang swung the staff upside the soldiers head, knocking him out.
As all of that was happening, Inferno, Katara, and Yue were all sprinting towards the pond of the Moon Spirit. "The pond should be somewhere around here...there it is!" shouted Katara as they rushed over to said pond. Inferno dove his hand into the pond and after a while pulled out a fish, the Moon Spirit. "Well now that we got the fish what do we do now?" asked Katara. "Yue, you know what you gotta do," said Inferno, grimly.
"Yeah I now," said Yue, firmly. "What are you guy talking about?" asked Katara, lost as to what was going on. "Well when I was born, the doctors said I wouldn't live very long, so, understandably, they prayed to Moon Spirit for help and the Moon Spirit in turn gave me some of his energy, keeping me alive," replied Yue. After Katara thought for a while she came to a realization. "If you do that, you'll die!" Yue didn't respond instead she just walked over to the Spirit and held it in her hands. She focused on nothing but the Spirit then suddenly there was a glow and the fish jumped out Yue's hands and into the pond.
Yue immediately collapsed, in what seemed from exhaustion, and she began to turn even paler. Almost instantly, Inferno was at Yue's side causing his hands to glow as the glow washed over Yue and color returned to her face. "What did you do?!" asked a bewildered Katara. "Let's just say I used another handy Ki ability," said Inferno as he was helping Yue up. "Now we have to go and round up the gang!"
After everyone gathered together after they completed their missions, just about all of them gave cheers of relief. "I'm so glad it's over now!" shouted Aang with a full blown grin gracing his face. "Yeah and the best part is that no one died!" agreed Sokka. "Thanks for reminding me Sokka, no one died yet," said Inferno as he pointed his finger at the Fire Nation stronghold.
His finger began to glow and, to everyone's horror, it blasted the stronghold to smithereens taking hundreds of lives with it. Katara was the first to come out of her stupor and boy did she have some things to say! "Why the hell did you blast them?! They were already out cold!" yelled Katara. That's when Inferno turned towards her and she got hit full force with the cold, calculating look in his golden eyes. "Tell me Katara, if you were face to face with the people who killed your mother would you kill them?" asked Inferno, his voice dangerously calm.
"...No I wouldn't."
"Really are you sure? What if I told you I was there that day and I was the one who killed your MOTHER!"
A/N: So now it turns out that Inferno killed Katara's mother, so next chapter the real action begins...
