Book Two: Earth
Chapter 5: Down with the Avatar!
The gang in the middle of the forest and they are asleep except for Momo who sees a spider that has set up a web in Sokka's mouth and when a fly lands on the web Momo tries to plunging his hand completely in Sokka's mouth making Sokka open his eyes in surprise and he spits out the spider and its web.
"What are you doing in my mouth?" Sokka asked and Momo chitters happily as he's eating the fly he 'rescued'. "Momo, you need to be a little more sensitive to my boundaries." Sokka said but Momo ignores Sokka and climbs on the warrior's face as Momo pricks his ears as he hears something.
Grace who is sleeping next to Lucy also hears something and she barks loudly waking Lucy up and Katara, Erza, Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla also wake up after they hearing the loud barking.
"Grace, what's wrong?" Lucy asked as Grace keeps barking.
Gray and Aang are still sound asleep but then a shaking occurs waking the two up and they see someone who is a man riding on a komodo-rhino jumping out of the thicket and two more men riding on two other komodo-rhinos appear from the bushes.
"Give up! You're completely surrounded!" One of the men named Mongke said.
"We'll see about that, fools." Erza said preparing to fight.
Vachir fires two flaming arrows toward Sokka who crawls in his sleeping bag like a caterpillar but Gray uses Ice Make: Shield to block the fire arrows allowing Erza to deliver a punch at Vachir knocking him off his komodo-rhino.
"Guys, come on!" Sokka said as he crawls to Appa and climbs aboard.
"I'd hate to run away from a fight, but I think we do need find a safe place." Natsu said.
"Then let's go." Katara said as she runs to the bison but the she stops and turns to see Kahchi who is spinning his Guan Dao and plants it to the tree trunk Katara was sleeping on and it stood next to the team's supplies. "My scrolls!" Katara said.
"My staff!" Aang said.
"My whip!" Lucy said.
"My pants!" Gray said.
Katara charges at Kahchi with her water whip and she and Gray freeze the blade solid allowing Katara to get her box of scrolls while Gray grabs his pants and they run to Appa while Ogodei swings his chains around and throws them around a tree and pulls it down to slow down Lucy's and Aang's progress but Aang somersaults over the fallen tree while Lucy jumps over but Yeh-Lu ignites one his hand grenades and throws it at Lucy and Aang as they got what they came to get and the explosive lands next to them but the fuse is still burning so Aang swirls his staff and knocks the grenade out the way and into the woods causing the explosion while Lucy and Aang Airbend to Appa.
"Yip yip!" Aang said and Appa flies off but Mongke shoots a fireball at them but Natsu eats the fireball.
"Wait! My boomerang!" Sokka said as his boomerang is still on the ground.
"There's no time." Katara said.
"Oh, I see. There's time to get your scrolls, time to get Lucy's whip, time to get Aang's staff, and even time to get Gray's pants, but no time for my boomerang?" Sokka asked.
"That's correct." Lucy answered cheerfully.
"Oh." Sokka said as he hangs his head admitting defeat.
Later on Appa lands near a small wooden house and after they landed Sooka sulks for his boomerang.
"Sorry you lost your boomerang, Sokka." Wendy said.
"I feel like I lost part of my identity. Imagine if you lost her blue hair or if Aang lost his arrow or if Natsu lost his scarf or if Lucy lost her side ponytail or if Erza lost her armor or if Gray lost his entire clothes of if Katara lost her...hair loopies." Sokka said as he walks over to the stand.
As Sokka walks over Katara gives him a loving hug for comfort and Sokka goes to the stand.
"Here's your produce, ponytail guy." The merchant said.
"I used to be boomerang guy." Sokka said and Katara gives the merchant money.
"Hey. Water Tribe money." The merchant said.
"I hope that's okay." Katara said.
"Just as long as it's money." The merchant said as he closes shop. "Happy Avatar Day!" The merchant said.
"Avatar Day?" Lucy and Aang asked at the same time.
"You guys going to the festival in Chin Village right?" The merchant asked.
"Ya know what? I'd like to go there." Natsu said.
"Aye." Happy said.
"What do you think, Aang?" Gray asked.
"Let's go check it out." Aang answered.
The gang go to the village named Chin Village and they are standing in the middle of the busy street.
"I didn't realize there was a holiday for the Avatar." Lucy said.
"Neither did I." Aang said.
"Wonder how they celebrate it?" Erza asked and they see a large effigy of Avatar Kyoshi.
"Look! They made a giant Kyoshi float!" Katara said and they go to the side street.
"There's Avatar Roku!" Wendy said as a giant float of Avatar Roku is pulled next to Kyoshi in the middle of the main square.
"Having a huge festival in your honor is great, but it's just nice to be appreciated." Aang said.
"And it's nice to appreciate their deep-fried festival food!" Sokka said as he's eating deep-fried food.
"Aang, look!" Lucy said pointing at a giant float of Aang being pulled.
"That's the biggest me I've every seen!" Aang said.
"Imagine a float of you in that Ocean Spirit." Gray said as the giant Aang float is standing next to the two other Avatars.
The gang then see a villager carrying a torch and he's running down the street.
"Hey, a torch. That's a nice prop." Natsu said eating his deep-fried food.
"Yeah. It's bright, dangerous, and smells manly." Sokka said.
"Please don't be like Elfman." Gray said.
"Wait. What's that guy doing?" Katara asked.
With a loud scream the runner jumps through the float of Kyoshi creating fire that's spreading rapidly over the whole float and the villagers are chanting over the burning float.
"Down with the Avatar!" One of the villagers shouted.
As the villagers chant the runner burns Avatar Roku next and the gang are shocked by this while Lucy becomes flabbergasted.
Meanwhile in another town atop of the hill two people are walking down the quiet street but are being followed by a shadowy figure that passes them on the roof and that figure is the Blue Spirit who lands in front of the two people while unsheathing his dual broadswords and he jumps at the man who's carrying two baskets that are suspended on a long pole and he cuts the baskets off making the man cower inf fear and after the Blue Spirit gets the baskets he goes for the woman who is carrying a large fruit over her head and the Blue Spirit snatches it and disappears leaving the two people in confusion.
In a forest the Blue Spirit makes his way through the thicket and the mask is taken off and is placed on a hollow part at the base of a tree and Zuko heads to cavern where Iroh and Aiko are sitting and they see Zuko who drops the baskets of food.
"Where did you get these?" Iroh asked.
"What does it matter where they came from?" Zuko asked back as he walks away.
"Hmmm..." Aiko said.
"Mmmmm!" Iroh said with delight as he eats a cupcake.
Back at Chin Village the chants continue as the two floats are being burned and the mayor of Chin Village signals the torch holder whos is now on the roof to throw his torch making the torch holder smirk and he throws the torch into the left eye of the Aang float making crowd cheer at this while Aang looks at this with shock and pain as he closes his left eye but Lucy and Katara run over to the flames and they bend water from pots to get rid of the flames while Natsu runs over and starts eating the flames to get rid of them too.
"Those party poopers are ruining Avatar Day!" One of the villagers said.
"Those party poopers are my friends!" Aang said with anger as he is now on his float and then takes off his hat showing his arrow.
"It's the Avatar himself!" The mayor said.
"He's going to kill us with his awesome Avatar powers!" A villager said.
"No I'm not. I..." Aang was about to continue but the villagers cower in fear.
"I suggest you leave! You're not welcome here, Avatar!" The mayor said.
"Why is he not allowed here? Aang helps people!" Erza said.
"It's true. I'm on your side." Aang said as he lands to the ground.
"I find that hard to swallow, considering what you did to us in your past life! It was Avatar Kyoshi; she murdered our glorious leader, Chin the Great." The mayor said.
"You really think that Aang murdered someone?" Lucy asked.
"We used to be a great society before you killed our leader. Now look at us!" A villager said and the villagers next to him look at him in disgust.
"UGH!" Natsu and Gray said at the same time both frightened and disgusted.
"But Aang would never do anything like that." Wendy said defending Aang.
"No Avatar would." Katara said shaking her head.
"It's not fair for you people to question his honor!" Lucy said.
"Let's tell her what we think of the Avatar's 'honor'!" A villager said as he turns around and shakes his read end at Aang and blows a rasberry while the villagers cheer at this and Lucy is more angry but Erza places her hand on her shoulder to calm Lucy down.
"Please give me a chance to clear my name." Aang said.
"The only way to prove your innocence is to stand trial." The mayor said.
"He'll gladly stand trial!" Natsu said.
"You'll have to follow our rules. That includes paying bail." The mayor said.
"No problem." Aang said but just then his hands are now cuffed while his head is stuck in a wooden panel and is now behind bars. "How was I supposed to know they wouldn't take Water Tribe money?" Aang asked as Lucy just looks at the ground in shame with her hands on her hips while Katara holds her hand before her eyes in shame while Natsu crosses his arms while Gray leans against the wall shaking his head at Aang while Erza places her hand on her face annoyed while Wendy looks at Aang with an apologetic and sympathetic look while Sokka just shakes his head also annoyed.
"Look, Aang, so some people don't like you. Big deal! There's a whole nation of Firebenders who hate you." Natsu said but Lucy smacks him.
"That's not helpful." Lucy said.
"Let's just bust him outta here and get outta here before that loser mayor sees us." Gray said.
"I can't." Aang said.
"Sure you can! Just a little swish-swish-swish! Airbending slice! And We're on our way!" Sokka said as he was doing cut the air motions making Lucy, Katara, Erza, and Gray annoyed by this.
"What 'Master Swish' is trying to say is that you're supposed to be saving the world with me." Lucy said.
"You can't do it while you're locked up here." Katara said.
"But I can't do that with people thinking I'm a murderer either. I need you guys to prove my innocence." Aang said.
"But we don't know how. That crime happened three-hundred years ago." Sokka said.
"Okay, Sokka. I always thought you were an expert detective." Aang said.
"Hmm. I guess I can be classified as such." Sokka said.
"YOU? Since when?" Gray asked amused.
"Back home, he was famous for solving the mystery of the missing seal jerky." Katara said.
"Everyone wanted to blame on the polar-leopard, but I figured out it was Old Man Jarko wearing polar-leopard boots. See, the real eight-hundred pound polar-leopard would have left much deeper tracks. Okay, I guess I'm good." Sokka said as Katara, Lucy, Natsu, and Gray try to hold their laughter while Erza shakes her head at Sokka's ego.
"So you'll help me?" Aang asked.
"Fine, but I'll need some new props." Sokka said and later on he's now wearing a hat and a monocle. "I'm ready." Sokka said and Lucy and Katara giggle while Natsu and Happy chuckle making Sokka extend his monocle. "What?" Sokka asked.
"Nothing, 'detective guy'." Happy said.
Meanwhile a wagon is being pulled by an ostrich-horse through the forest and inside the wagon a wealthy man is playing with chest full of gold pieces but then the cart stops moving making the man look around what's going on and he's hearing rumbling noises outside so he clutches his chest protectively but then the noise dies down and so he sighs in relief but then two swords thrust through the top of the cart and then a fist crashing down through the ceiling making the man look up and he sees the Blue Spirit and the man anxiously gives the Blue Spirit his treasure and the Blue Spirit takes it and disappears leaving the confused and surprised man.
Meanwhile in Chin Village the gang are with the mayor at an area which is small shrine that's near the edge of a tall cliff.
"This is the crime scene." The mayor said and Sokka starts looking around the shrine. "This is the footprint of the killer, Kyoshi." The mayor said pointing at a footprint and Sokka looks at it. "It was at sunset, three-hundred and seventy years ago today, that was when she emerged from the temple, and struck down Chin the Great. After that tragic day, we built this statue to immortalize our great leader." The mayor explained showing them the statue of Chin the Great who raises his fist in triumph. "Feel free to appreciate it." The mayor said as he leaves.
Sokka investigates the shrine further and he looks at the statue and then something catches his attention and he uses his monocle to look at the right foot of the statue making his eyes widen and so he runs over to the shrine.
"This temple and this statue were cut from the same stone and we know that the statue was built after Chin died." Sokka said.
"So if they were built at the same time, that means..." Lucy was cut off by Sokka.
"Quiet! I wanna solve it!" Sokka said.
"Then do it, three-year-old!" Lucy replied.
"That means Kyoshi never set foot in this temple!" Sokka said.
"Not bad, Sherlock Moron." Gray said.
"This is a big hole in the mayor's story, but that's not gonna be enough to prove Aang's innocence." Katara said.
"We'll need more evidence than that." Erza said.
"You're right. We need to go to Kyoshi Island." Sokka said as he blows bubbles with a dragon shaped pipe.
"Where'd you get that?" Natsu asked looking at the dragon pipe.
Meanwhile in prison Aang is still cuffed and is leaning against the prison wall.
"You got a bald head." A voice said and Aang looks up to see another prisoner. "Some nice tattoos." The prisoner said and he has a strong build, wearing earrings on both ears, and his body has a large snake tattoo and he charges at Aang but stops because of the chain around his neck. "You're gonna fit in real well in here." The prisoner said making Aang chuckle nervously.
In Kyoshi Island a man in a watch tower signals the approach by ringing a bell and many people see the bison arriving and when Appa lands in front of the statue of Kyoshi which is now newly rebuilt everyone in the village has gathered to greet them and as they are clapping the foam man gets in front and starts squealing as foam appears in his mouth and he faints and the gang wave at the people but then the little girl Koko notices something wrong.
"Where's Aangy?" Koko asked.
"You're still calling him that?" Gray asked.
"Aang couldn't be here, Koko. Sorry." Lucy said making the villagers sigh in disappointment.
"I wanted to see Aangy, but at least you're here, Miss Lucy." Koko said and the crowed cheers in agreement.
"Thanks." Lucy said.
"Oyaji, Aang is in jail. The town of Chin says he murdered their leader in a past life." Katara said.
"What?" Oyaji asked shocked.
"They say it was Kyoshi." Natsu said.
"That's crazy talk! I'll take you to her shrine. Maybe something will help you clear her name." Oyaji said.
Everyone is walking up a gentle slope.
"So...uh, what's Suki up to? Is she around?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah and how's Skyla?" Lucy asked.
"Those two and the other warriors left to fight in the war. You kids had such a big impact on those two. They said you inspired them and they wanted to change the world." Oyaji explained.
"Oh...well...that's great." Sokka said disappointed.
"Well, I'm glad Skyla's doing great. She's a great fighter." Lucy said.
They then arrive at the temple at the top of the hill.
"This temple was converted into a shrine of Kyoshi. The clerics tell us these relics are still connected to her spirit." Oyaji said. "This is her kimono." He added showing them a kimono.
"She had exquisite taste." Wendy said touching the kimono.
"Please don't touch." Oyaji said.
"Sorry." Wendy said.
"Her fans were her weapons correct?" Erza asked looking at the fans.
"Correct. Please refrain from touching them as well." Oyaji said.
"These were her boots?" Lucy asked looking at two big brown boots.
"Her feet must have been enormous." Katara said.
"The biggest of any Avatar!" Oyaji said and then Lucy and Katara realize something.
"Wait...big feet?" Lucy asked as she remembers the small footprint.
"Little footprint?" Katara asked.
"As we figured. There's no way..." Erza was then cut off by Sokka.
"Hey. Special outfit? Hat and pipe? These things mean anything to any of you?" Sokka asked.
"No. Not really." Lucy answered as she smirks.
"Fine. Go ahead, Sherlock Idiot." Gray said.
"Aha! There's no way Kyoshi could have made that footprint and therefore, there is nothing linking her to the crime scene." Sokka said.
"Brilliant, Sokka." Katara said unimpressed and rolls her eyes.
"I think I'd make a better detective than him." Lucy said.
"You said it." Natsu said.
Meanwhile Aang is sitting in a circle of other inmates.
"This girl you're talking about. She'll come around. Just hang in there." The first prisoner said.
"You think so?" Aang asked as he removes his head out of the panel.
"Sure." The first prisoner said.
"Yeah." The second prisoner said.
"You're a catch." The third prisoner said.
"I don't know..." Aang said.
"Hey. You're smart, funny, handsome. Not to mention you're the Avatar." The first prisoner said.
"You guys are great. Thanks." Aang said smiling.
"Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel." The third prisoner said as he wipes a tear from his eye.
Back at Kyoshi's shrine Oyaji shows the gang a painting.
"This piece is called 'The Birth of Kyoshi'. It was painted at sunrise on this day this island was founded. It was today in fact, three-hundred and seventy years ago." Oyaji explained.
"Wait. Three-hundred and seventy years ago? Are you sure it was today?" Sokka asked.
"Seeing as how it's Kyoshi's Day, yes. I'm sure." Oyaji said.
"This ceremony didn't take place at sunrise. It took place at sunset." Sokka said.
"I see the shadows." Erza said.
"They point east so the sun must have been in the west." Lucy said.
"So what?" Oyaji asked.
"If Kyoshi was in the ceremony at sunset, she couldn't have been in Chin committing the crime. She has an alibi!" Sokka said but Lucy and Erza grab his pipe and they whack at his head hard knocking him down causing Gray to chuckle.
"Nice conclusion, 'Detective'." Gray said sarcastically.
It's now nighttime in Chin Village and the gang return to Chin Village and in the prison to talk to the mayor.
"Honorable Mayor, we've prepared a solid defense for the Avatar. We did an investigation and found some strong evidence." Katara said.
"Evidence? That's not how the court system works." The mayor said.
"That's stupid!" Natsu said.
"Aye!" Happy said.
"How can Aang prove his innocence?" Wendy asked.
"Simple. I say what happened, then he'll say what happened, then I'll decide who's right. That's why we call it justice. Because it's 'just us'." The mayor said as he walks away laughing leaving the gang shocked while Lucy is completely angry.
"I'll bring you justice when I'm done with you!" Lucy yelled.
It's now daytime and every villager has gathered in the amphitheater and the gang are sitting up front.
"Everyone loved Chin the Great because he was so great. Then the Avatar showed up and killed him. That's how it happened." The mayor said as he leaves with a grin on his face.
"Wow. That was the MOST stupidest story in so many ways." Lucy said in her mind.
"The accused will now present his argument." The guard said.
"You can do it, Aang." Natsu said softly.
"Just remember the evidence." Carla said softly said.
"Right...evidence. Ladies and gentlemen...I'm about to tell you what happened. And I will prove it with facts. Fact number one..." Aang tries to remember.
"The footprint!" Lucy said.
"Oh, yeah. You see I have large feet. Furthermore, your temple matches your statue, but...I was in a painting at sunset. So there you have it. I'm not guilty." Aang said making a big grin.
Everyone is unimpressed with Aang's argument and the gang have big smiles on their faces and Sokka and Natsu give him a thumbs up.
"He's dead." Sokka said through his teeth.
"Shut up." Erza said through her teeth.
"Yes, ma'am." Sokka said through his teeth.
Meanwhile at Zuko, Iroh, and Aiko's hideout in the forest Zuko sits down while Iroh walks into the cave.
"Looks like you've done some serious shopping, but where did you get the money to buy this stuff?" Aiko asked.
"Uncle, do you like your new teapot?" Zuko asked ignoring Aiko's question.
"To be honest with you, Nephew, the best tea tastes delicious whether it comes in a porcelain pot or a tin cup. I know we've had some difficult times lately. We've had to struggle to get by, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. There is a simple honor in poverty." Iroh said.
"There's no honor for me without the Celestial Mage and the Avatar." Zuko said.
"Zuko, even if you did capture the Celestial Mage and the Avatar, I'm sure it wouldn't solve our problems. Not now anyway." Aiko said.
"Then there is no hope for me." Zuko said.
"No, Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down the road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength." Iroh said and Zuko walks away into the forest.
Back at Chin Village.
"Mayor Tong, I'd like for the court to hear one last testimony." Lucy announced.
"I've already told you, it's just me and the accused. You can't call any witnesses." Tong said.
"This isn't just any witness. We're gonna call...Avatar Kyoshi herself!" Katara said making the villagers murmur and they show Aang wearing a Kyoshi costume and then the two girls sit down.
"What are you guys doing?" Gray asked.
"Well, she is Aang's past life. Maybe wearing her outfit might trigger something." Lucy said.
"I do believe in power of stuff." Sokka said.
"This is a mockery of Chin law!" Tong said.
"Please! If you could just wait one more minute, I'm sure Kyoshi will be here." Katara said.
"Hi, everybody. Avatar Kyoshi here." Aang said.
"This is ridiculous! For the murder of Chin the Great, this court finds the Avatar..." Tong was then cut off by a tornado of earth.
The sky darkens as the tornado dies down and Aang is no longer here but the spirit of Avatar Kyoshi.
"I killed Chin the Conqueror. A horrible tyrant, Chin was expanding his army to all corners of the continent. When they came to the neck of the peninsula where we lived, he demanded our immediate surrender. I warned him that I would not sit passively while he took our home, but he did not back down that day. We split from the mainland. I created Kyoshi Island so that my people would be safe from invaders." Avatar Kyoshi explained as she is engulfed by the earth tornado again as the sky turns to light again and when the tornado disappears Aang is standing to where is was again and was about to fall but Lucy and Katara catch him.
"What just happened?" Aang asked.
"Uh...you kind of confessed." Katara answered.
"Sorry." Lucy said.
"And I find you guilty! Bring out the Wheel of Punishment!" Tong ordered and the villagers cheer.
"This is not good." Happy said.
"You think?" Carla asked while Momo covers his eyes with his tail while Grace covers her eyes with her paw.
Meanwhile Iroh and Aiko are packing and then Zuko approaches.
"Uncle, I thought about what you said." Zuko said.
"You did? Good, good." Iroh said.
"It's helped me realize something. We no longer have anything to gain by traveling together." Zuko said making Iroh frown while Aiko is shocked.
"What?" Aiko asked.
"I going to find my own way." Zuko said as he grabs his backpack and starts to walk.
"Wait!" Iroh said as he gives Zuko the ostrich-horse and Zuko mounts on it.
"Be careful out there." Aiko said.
"I will." Zuko said as he looks at the two one last time before he makes the ostrich-horse to gallop off leaving Iroh and Aiko.
Meanwhile at Chin Village Aang is now standing next to the Wheel of Punishment.
"The accused will now spin the Wheel of Punishment to determine his sentence." The guard said.
Aang turns to see his friends and they all look at him with worry.
"I did say I would face justice. So I will." Aang said as he walks over to the Wheel of Punishment.
"Come on!" One of the villagers said.
"Eaten by bears!" Another villager said.
"Razor pit!" The third villager said.
"Community service!" Lucy said.
"Please stop on community service!" Katara said.
The wheel then starts spinning slowly and then stops.
"Looks like it's 'boiled in oil'." The guard said and the villagers cheer while Aang is scared while the gang are shocked.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Erza said.
Just then a bomb bounces into the temple and then blows up making the whole place shake.
"What the heck was that?" Natsu asked.
"Look!" Lucy said pointing at Mongke.
"Not him again." Gray said.
"We have come to claim this village for the Fire Lord! Now show me your leader so I may...dethrone him." Mongke said as Kahchi attacks the statue of Chin with his Guan Dao and the statue crumbles.
"He's over there!" A villager said pointing at Tong who hides behind the Wheel of Punishment.
"Avatar, do something!" Tong said.
"Gee, I'm sure he'd love to help, but he's supposed to be boiled in oil." Lucy said and Tong switches to the sweeping man picture.
"There! Community service! Serve our community and get rid of those rhinos!' Tong said.
Aang smiles and he jumps out his Kyoshi costume and faces Kahchi who readies his weapon but as he was about to charge Aang uses his fans and spins out of the rhino's path and uses his Airbending to knock Kahchi out of his saddle while Kahchi's rhino goes for Tong and charges but Lucy summons Chou and he lifts the rhino up and throws it to the ground.
"You owe us, loser." Lucy said as she goes off to join Aang.
"Rough Rhinos! To the town!" Mongke commanded.
Vachir shoots his fire arrows at the down setting fire to the roof of a building while Mongke uses his Firebending to burn another house while Yeh-Lu rides by a hay wagon and drops some lit bombs making the wagon explode and destroys a house next to the wagon while Ogodei rides past another house and uses his chains to break the support beams.
Ogodei gets confronted by Katara and Wendy and Ogodei throws his chain at the two girls but Katara deflects them with her Waterbending making the chain tied up Ogodei allowing Wendy to use Sky Dragon Wing Attack at Ogodei knocking him off but the chain is attached to the saddle and Katara water whips the rhino to make it run off while dragging Ogodei.
Sokka, Natsu, and Gray come down the stairs between of the Rough Rhinos and Natsu breathes fire at Vachir while Gray shoots ice at Yeh-Lu and Gray's ice gets Yeh-Lu's bombs causing an explosion that knocks Yeh-Lu and his rhino into a building destroying it but the three take cover from the flying debris and Yeh-Lu's helmet rolls by and Sokka sees his boomerang on the ground.
"Boomerang! You always come back!" Sokka said.
"Happy now, boomerang guy?" Gray asked.
Just then Vachir aims at the three and he shoots his arrow at Sokka's hat but Sokka throws his pipe at the archer and the pipe slides over the burning arrow and gets rid of the flame surprising Vachir and Erza sneaks up behind and enters Fire Empress Armor and together with Natsu they use their Fire Magic to get Vachir knocking him and rhino against a wall and into a house destroying it.
Lucy and Aang confront Mongke in an alley and Mongke uses his Firebending to increase his speed to charge at the two but Lucy and Aang jump over while bending an air shield to protect themselves making Aang lose his fans and headdress and Aang makes an air scooter while Lucy gets on Chou and they charge at Mongke who also charges while throwing fire blasts but they dodge and Aang slides under the rhino while Chou strikes at the rhino but Mongke makes his rhino recover from the attack and the two charge at Mongke again for the third time and Mongke bends powerful fire blasts that consumes the whole alley but Aang propels himself through with his Airbending while Chou gets through the flame and Aang and Lucy deliver their attacks with the feet while Chou delivers a powerful punch and the three crash into Mongke knocking him through a wooden fence.
Later on fireworks go off in the village.
"From now on, we'll celebrate a new Avatar Day and also start a new Celestial Mage Day as well in honor of the day Avatar Aang and Celestial Mage Lucy saved us from the Rough Rhino Invasion." Tong announced as the gang are now holding bowls and Sokka and Natsu look at their bowls.
"Uh, what're these?" Natsu asked looking at what looks like Aang-shaped and Lucy-shaped pieces of dough.
"That's our festival food! Unfried dough. May we eat it and be reminded of how on this day the Avatar was not boiled in oil." Tong announced and the villagers cheer but the gang have uncertain looks as they pick up the dough cookies.
"Happy Avatar and Celestial Mage Day, everyone!" Katara said as she eats her dough and so does everyone else.
"This isn't that bad right?" Wendy asked.
"This is by far the worst town we've ever been to." Gray said.
"Agreed." Sokka said.
"I can't believe there's a new Celestial Mage holiday now. You're getting famous, Lucy." Happy said.
"This is a bit much for me though." Lucy said as she eats her dough.
And that's it for this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm really hoping you guys are actually enjoying this story so far. I'll make another chapter soon, so look forward to that. Until then, see ya and take care.
