Chapter 12- Wrath

Zuko POV

As I'm following Uncle's messenger on an ostrich horse. I think to myself why Mai left, and I begin to realize maybe it wasn't mean to be. Right now, I need to save Uncle from this Ezion. How is he so strong that he defeated Uncle of all people, not even Azula managed to take Iroh down. I could negotiate with him because I don't know what Ezion wants. I made it to the center of Zhaoful, and I saw Uncle tried to a tree. Wait Uncle shouldn't break out by now. That rope might have been special. The messenger must have gone away and try to find the other members

"I'm glad that you can make Fire Lord Zuko, I've heard that you managed to manipulate the Avatar to help you get the throne. You royals are truly despicable. You used, abused, and manipulate everyone around you. I will purge the Sozin bloodline from this world." A voice shouted out, and a teenage boy with amber eyes and short black hair a black katana, a grey vest with black pants appears in front of me

"I will never manipulate Aang and who do you think. Tying up royalty around the center. You will be put to justice." I said in a commanding tone.

"I will never follow the likes of you. You people are just a bunch of tyrants. You expect your citizens to be ok with every word you commanded. You people don't care if your people got killed or in poverty. When is the last time you interacted with them? Your family only cares about themselves. Prepare to die" Ezion pulls out his black katana and prepares to stick me down. I pull out my dual swords to block the attack. So, I guess he's a non-bender like Sokka.

He and I slash at each other, and I try to stab him in the stomach, but he blocks the hit and managed to stab me in the armpit. I decided to hit him with a fire fist, he countered the hit by the palm of his hand with his engulfed black flames. He punches him straight in the face.

Damn, I can't get a hit on him. I can't use my other hand because he stabbed me in the armpit, so I'm fighting with one hand. Just great, the day keeps getting better and better. I try to keep striking with my sword, but he keeps blocking my hits. Suddenly Uncle Iroh breaking free of his bonds and took out a smoke bomb. He throws the bomb at Ezion and smokes spread through the area. Uncle grabbed me and left with the ostrich horse.

He and I used the same ostrich horse. We managed to get away from him. Uncle covered the wound of my armpit with his rags. I asked Uncle, "Just who is Ezion and why does he want to kill us? The worst part is that he thinks I'm like Father. Uncle, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need the group's help. The fact that he can control black flames is terrifying, I wouldn't even be alive if you didn't have the smoke bomb with you."

"Zuko doesn't worry about that for now, we need to get you to the infirmary for your wound. All I know is that he is the host of Iblis who wants to destroy our family. He seems to be full of hatred toward us. Zuko, He and his group killed the rest of the White Lotus. I didn't have a chance to properly mourned my comrades. I didn't thank them for letting me join the White Lotus." Iroh said sorrowfully with tears with eyes.

"Wait what do you mean by his group? Pakku, Jeong Jeong, Bumi, and Piandao are dead. How is that possible? Just who is part of his group? What do you mean by he is the host of Iblis? What the Agni is going on " I said frustrated tone.

"I heard that King Bumi is still alive and is going to meet with the Earth King. Zuko you're right, we will need the help of the Avatar and his friends. But for now, you must heal and rest. I will tell you about the Red Lotus and I will tell you about Iblis.

Sokka POV

"Jet!" I said in a surprised tone. I never expected to see him in Kyoshi Island, or heck ever again.

"Sokka is that you? It's been a while. I heard that the war ended." Jet said in an excited tone.

"Suki, this is Jet. He leads the Freedom Fighters during the war. He used to beat up an old man and try to drown the village, but he's good now." I said jokingly

"Hold on WHAT! Are you serious? So, we got an elderly abuser and a genocidal maniac." Suki said angrily.

"My past is unforgivable, but I helped Sokka's gang finding Appa. I was so full of hatred against the Fire Nation for killing my parents. Right now, my main goal is to find other war orphans and give them a home. The Spirit Rulers claims that I have a huge destiny, and that's why he saved me from death." Jet said in an apologetic tone.

"Wait the Spirit Ruler. Oh, great another spirit shenanigans. Where is Aang when you need him? I have no idea what that is?" I said in a sarcastic tone. Man, this is going to be a pain in the butt.

"The Kyoshi Island believes that Spirit Ruler controls life and death. It is said that this being controls the dead and the animals. If you have met it, then this is bad news. their presence could represent the apocalypse. It is said he or she will be the descendent of a rich fire nation noble, the Earth King, and a rebel that opposes imperialism and save war orphans. I don't know the full details. That is what Kyoshi herself prophesize, that's all I have Sokka." Suki said apologetic tone. Suki is so smart, I have never known that she is aware of the spirits like Aang. Who knows what this Island might have taught her?

"So that's why he helped me. The one that helped me looks very similar to Aang. I don't think that he is Fire Nation. Maybe it's kind of like the Avatar cycle of reincarnation, maybe the prophecy could represent his future incarnation. I read about it because I was curious of the one who healed me." Jet said in a neutral tone. Who knows that Jet could read, everybody, is full of surprises.

"So why do you want to be at this island Jet?" I said questioningly.

"I guess to find more orphans and to recuperate from the war. Is it true that Prince Zuko was Lee this whole time and the fact that he conquered Ba Seng Se with his sister? So, the wait is he a good guy now." Jet said curious tone.

"Yeah, he's good now, after he sent an assassin at us, learning some dance with Aang, help me free my dad and the love of my life Suki, finding our mother's killer with Katara, going to the theater that makes fun of our lives, and taking down his crazy sister," I said explaining these last few weeks to Jet.

"I guess people keep on changing. Who would have thought that you are buddy-buddy with the new Fire Lord? Anyway, can I at least spend some nights at this island?" Jet asked Suki

"I guess you come a long way from last year. You can spend some nights I guess, just don't beat up an old man alright?" Suki said calmly

"Believe me, my days of beating up the elderly are far behind me." Jet said calmly. Jet lead his fighters to one of the guest buildings of the island.

"So I guess those delinquents might use one of the guest buildings. Any friend of Sokka is a friend of ours. Sokka, can you look after them?" Oyaji asked me cautiously

"I will watch over the Freedom Fighters Oyaji, you can trust me," I said confidently.

"Alright, take care, you crazy kids." Oyaji laughing to himself

" Sokka, you have some weird friends," Suki said while chuckling

"Yeah I know, At least we have the building for ourselves," I said excitingly while I was leading her to their house.
