A Dragons Rebirth

By: J1210

Chapter XXXVI: 31st Battalion

Shores of Mao Island-Southern Earth Kingdom

Slowly as the boat pulled up to the Mao Island Kai hadn't spoken one word to Mai or Zuko. When he found out they forced him to join the Resistance he was pissed. After leaving the Xihou Province they headed back to the base island of they're plight for freedom.

"So why am I here again?" asked the sarcastic healer.

Mai sighed then shot a glare at Kai. "Look I could care less that you to want to be here, but we need a strategist who can actually give our soldiers some hope." Mai said. "With Aang in a come its up to us to take back what's rightfully ours the Earth Kingdom and then the Fire Nation."

Kai rolled his eye's. "Have you even though of making an alliance with the waterbenders it would give you the front line advantage to leave all earthbenders in the back as the water tribe cuts a path."

"I suppose that would work, but the strange thing is that Haroji Jin never even wanted to attack the Water Tribe. He hasn't even made a move on them." Zuko stated.

"Then we must plan ahead and attack Raminas unexpectedly. We must make an allegiances with the Insurgences if we are to obtain victory." Kai sighed. "The Insurgences leader holds a big position and an immense amount of troops that may sit well with us."

"Then its settle as soon as were done here Kai I will send you out with the 31st Battalion, Yuffie, Bear, and Kerra to watch over the campaign." Zuko stated walking onto the shore.

Yuffie helped Kai limp off of the small boat then he stopped dead in his tracks. "No, no, no I didn't even agree to go on any expeditions. I'm not going to Raminas if I'm a strategist I'm not going to the battlefield."

"That's funny, you sure did for Azula." Mai whispered.

"What was that!?!" Kai challenged.

There was a long awkward silence until stepped in. "You know guys I think the heat may be getting to us let's just go back to Mrs. Ursa's so we can just relax."

"Yuffie's right maybe its the heat." Zuko said leading the way. "By the way Kai we did some research and there is a healer on the island who can fix your leg."

Kai limped past Zuko. "Whatever." he muttered.

When they finally arrived at Ursa's house immediately a little girl burst out the door and hugged Kai. "Kai its really you, they said they would bring you back!?!"

Rin was gushing tears as the healer returned her hug. "You've gotten a lot bigger haven't you?" Kai said placing sizing her up. "I've missed you Rin. It was hardly impossible trying to get around without you following me everywhere."

Rin crossed her arms. "Hey, at least I'm a full fledged bender now."

"Really?" Kai asked furrowing his eye brow.

"Yep and its all thanks to Katara. She taught me how to waterbend while you were away."

"Who's Katara?" Kai asked as another young lady stepped out the doorway. "Ohh, its you." Kai said flatly looking upon Katara who had healed him after the invasion of Ba Sing Se. "You're one of the Avatar's friends right?"

"Yeah." Katara returned coolly. "Zuko I didn't know this was the Kai Xiang you were talking about."

Kai scoffed. "Were you expecting my excuse for a father. I doubt he could even slay a soldier without running to the Council, tHough I doubt thaty there's one now."to

"Look I only need your help with one thing then you never have to talk to me again. I could care less what you do, but if both Mai and Zuko say your the healer you are you can help Aang he's in a coma." Katara said wearily. Kai was ready return a smart remark to the waterbender , but saw the sorrow in her eye's then nodded his approval. Katara led him to a nearby room and Zuko, Mai, and Rin remained outside. "After I healed his wounds he wouldn't wake up, but he still breaths fine."

"Well thats what a coma is." Kai said checking his pulse. "So how did you care for him food, clothes, hygine, and what nots?"

"Well I just use Waterbending to feed him and Zuko's mother takes care of the rest." she answered.

"Uh-huh, well I don't see what I can do the obvious thing is to just wait until he wakes up." Suddenly the rings on Kai's staff began to rattle without him even touching. He narrowed his eye's as it did it again. Katara looked confused as well. What do you people want now!?! Kai sighed then rested his hand on Aang's forehead. He slowly let the crystal grasp lightly to Aang's skull into Aang. Katara gasped as Kai closed his eye's and guided the crystal threw his body then finally he let up. He sighed a relief then turned his sight to Katara. "He has some wounded organs. Probably from Haroji, but he'll be fine now. Give him some time he'll wake up soon."

"Okay." she whispered as Kai got up and limped out of the room. "Thank you." Kai stopped and looked stunned at her. "Rin told me that you were one of the nicest people in the world. I see what's she's talking about now the old Kai's still in there somewhere."

Kai simled. "Maybe, maybe he is."

"So are you ready to meet your battalion?" Zuko asked. "You'll be the General so treat them well."

Kai bit back anything he had to say. "I suppose." when he went outside 75 soldiers stood waiting for him. "The 31st battalion."

"Sir." said one soldier as he walked toward him. "I am your first Captain Kato sir!"

"Take a chill pill were not about to go into battle nice to meet you." Kai said.

"I look forward to taking orders from you, 1st Lieutenant Yuffie, and Sergent Bear." Kato said more calmly. "The battalion has reviewed your blueprints of invading Raminas well."

"Good, hey where is Koalas?" Kai asked Zuko.

"Well when Raminas fell we saw Ivy with Koalas armored and tamed. He is no longer an ally, besides we can't risk a mission just to save an animal." said Zuko.

Kai smirked looked at Zuko. "Of course and the flying Bison's an acceptation?"

"Well of course Appa's a fast way of transportation and he's the last flying bison." Zuko pointed out.

Kai narrowed his eye's then looked at Captain Kato. "Track down my Bora." he whispered. Captain Kato nodded and left. "Let's get going if were going to invade Raminas because I have other things to do. Like get drunk and pity myself."

"Whatever, but look were not leaving the island until you can walk on two legs again so to the healer and we'll leave as soon as you recover." ZUko said sternly.

"Gods I hate be the paitent." Kai said following Zuko to his sure to be certain doom.
