Okay. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm NOT abandoning this story. It took me a while but I've finally sifted through all the files on my computer and found this...

Now that Katara had mastered firebending, she was meant to move onto air. However, that was easier said than done. There were no more airbenders in the world. There was no one to teach her. She had hit a road block that she didn't think she would be able to overcome. There simply wasn't anyone to teach her the art.

Katara walked over to Jeong Jeong. She looked up at him. They were standing on the beach because she and Toph were leaving for the Earth Kingdom. They planned to start there as they searched for someone to help her in some way. She looked at him and said "What going to happen now?"

Jeong Jeong looked at her and said "Well, I think I will stay here for the time being. It is nice to live in peace. Do not worry;when the time comes I will join the fight against the Fire Nation. Until then, farewell my pupil."

Katara nodded and turned back to the shore. Toph was already in the bubble she had created and they prepared for their takeoff. With one last glance back at Jeong Jeong, Katara submerged the balloon.

"Hey Katara," Toph said from behind her. She seemed upset as well and she said "You okay?" Katara took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine. Come on. I need to find someone."

And so Katara waterbent them all the way back to the mainland within a day. Upon arrival, the two of them ran into the forest and continued running for two hours. When they deemed themselves safely secluded, they set up camp.

Toph said that she slept throughout their trip so she would stand guard first. She ignored Katara's pleas and soon Katara gave up.

Upon falling asleep, Katara had one of those dreams that she wished she wouldn't have. It was one of those dreams where she was taken into a vision.

She was flying on Aang's Flying Bison, Appa. Aang stat in front, looking ahead as he rode.

"So you're ready to master airbending," Aang said this in a tired, no exhausted voice.

"I need to," Katara said.

Aang nodded. "I'll show you the way." With that, they took off speeding through the skies. Land passed below them and they continued until they arrived at a forest area.

They landed and Aang hopped off. Katara climbed down after him and she followed him through the forest. After a few minutes of traveling, they came to a small cave.

The cave was dark with no light. However, the place somehow allowed air to flow through the entire space. They walked through the space until they noticed a light ahead of them. When they came into the space, they noticed four people sitting around. The youngest seemed to be about fourteen and the oldest about thirty five to forty. The others seemed to be in between those ages. The people wore assortments of clothes. One girl, the youngest apparently, wore the green of the Earth Kingdom. A boy wore wore the blues of the Water Tribes. One of them even wore the red of the Fire Nation. Only one, the thirty five year old man in the middle of the back wall, wore the orange robes of an Air Nomad. There was one thing similar about all their clothes. They were dirty, wrinkled, and tattered.

Katara looked at Aang in confusion. "Why did you bring me to this place? They're people wearing different kinds of clothes."

Aang shook his head. "No Katara. They're not." He looked around the room and said "These are the last remaining airbenders."

Katara was shocked to say the least. She looked around the room with newfound awe. Airbenders? Amazing.

Aang called her from behind. "You must find them, but there's another stop on your trip before this one. Come."

Aang left the room and Katara followed after him. In no time at all, they were back on Appa and flying away from the airbenders. They flew to the east until they came into another forest. The cave that they went into this time was far less populated.

There were seven people inside. Two were women. Two were men. One was a child, roughly seven years old, and two were babies. All wore tattered Earth Kingdom attire. However, her last stop taught her not to judge people by their clothes.

"They're airbenders, too?" she asked Aang.

He nodded at her and said "You've got to come here. Convince these people to go with you and travel to the others. From there, ask a man named Afiko to teach you airbending. Tell him you're the Avatar and doing so will absolve his sins. Goodbye Katara."

With that, Aang faded into nothing and Katara woke up. The sun was just rising when Katara looked at Toph. The girl seemed to have passed out and Katara had to shake her awake.

"What," Toph moaned in her sleepy state. "Come on. We need to get moving."

When Toph was finally up, Katara filled her in on her findings. With that known, Toph assisted Katara in creating their cavern which they would travel in.

The two of them worked tirelessly for two days. When they came up to search their surroundings, Katara knew that there was danger. They were near a village. Toph and Katara decided to head into the village in order to find out how close they were.

What they didn't expect from the village was Fire Nation hangings. They had walked into a claimed village. Fire Nation Guards patrolled the area and few Earth Kingdom people walked about.

The pair walked into a shop and looked at the woman manning the counter. She was older, around fifty, with greying brown hair and green eyes. She looked at them and said "May I help you?"

Katara nodded. "Yes. Can you please tell us how far we are from Xing Wu Forest?"

The woman appeared to be startled by the request. She stumbled over her words for a moment before saying "Yes. Of course. The forest is near the next town over. Xing Wu is at the base of the mountain. The mountain doubles as the forest."

Katara smiled and nodded. "Thank you." With that, the two girls left the shop and headed to the other side of the village. To entertain herself, Toph began earthbending a few pebbles in her hand. Before Katara could tell her to stop, they heard a guard.

"Hey you! Earthbending is illegal here!" And so, they were surrounded by guards. Both girls dropped into fighting stances. Katara readied herself to use firebending. She figures that now that she knew the art, she might as well develop it. However, Toph slowly shaking her head deflated Katara's resolve. Instead she began earthbending.

There were twelve guards surrounding them. The first thing Katara did was bury three of them in the ground. Their heads were still visible but they were out of commission. Then, with a sharp jab of her hand, she sent another flying backward on moving earth. With two sharp elbow jabs, earth came up and imprisoned the remaining guards. Toph had made quick work of the guards she was facing and the two girls hurried out of the village.

How is that possible? Prince Zuko thought as he watched the girl run away. He was sure it was the same one. It was the girl that had frozen him to a tree. That had been waterbending. That would mean that it would be impossible for her to use earthbending.

Unless…No! It was impossible. Zuko had known from the Fire Sages that the Avatar was the last airbender. He would be over one hundred years old by now. And that was another thing. HE! The Avatar wasn't a girl! The Avatar was an old man!

Zuko walked back to where his ship was docked. He swiftly boarded and walked to his Uncle's room. He didn't knock, simply walked in to find his Uncle sitting and having a cup of tea.

"Hello, Prince Zuko," Uncle said. "What brings you to my chambers today?"

Zuko looked at him. "The Avatar. He must have been reborn."

Iroh looked at his nephew. "And what, may I ask, makes you say that?"

Zuko sat across from his Uncle. "That girl. The one that froze me to a tree. I just saw her again."

Iroh guffawed. "So you keep running into her? That sounds like a future girlfriend and not the Avatar."

Zuko shook his head. Blushing profusely, he said "No! This time she was earthbending. Only the Avatar can bend all the elements. The old Avatar must have died and he must have been reborn into that girl."

That made Iroh put his pot of Jasmine Tea down. He began stroking his chin before saying "So what do you plan to do to catch the girl?"

The prince slammed his hand down. "I need you to come with me! We must go after the Avatar! She's travelling by land so I need your help."

The prince's uncle looked vaguely surprised. "Come with you? Why do you need my help? You have a ship full of warriors at your disposal."

Zuko took a deep breath before saying "But that would give us away. I want to sneak up on her and it has to be the two of us. We're the only ones with enough skill."

After a moment's hesitation, Iroh nodded. He pulled himself to his feet and walked with his nephew out of the room and off the ship in search for the Avatar.

And so there it is. Sorry about the long wait, but at least I finally got it out. So, yeah.
