Disclaimer- I don't own any of it.
A/N: ok please stay with me here. This is the first Avatar fic and I will probably butcher it but I'm gonna try.
Chapter one:
"Prince Zuko, we believe we have successfully located the Avatar," a guard said proudly. Zuko looked up, trying to contain his excitement.
"Then set a coarse for there," he ordered. He allowed himself a small smile after the guard left. Finally after weeks of searching he was gaining on the Avatar once again. He was going to catch him for good this time, he could feel it in his bones. For once in his life he didn't let his fire-bender's hot head control him, he actually had a plan. That ridiculous excuse for a water-bender Aang was always with; he had never thought her of any importance until the last time he tried to catch the Avatar. He noticed how they looked at each other, with such tenderness and longing Aang was in love. The stupid fool, making such a valuable weakness apparent to everyone in sight, it would inevitably be his downfall.
"Prince Zuko, we are approaching the shore, and the Avatar."
"Excellent."
"Aang, where are we?" Katara asked worriedly, gazing around at the seemingly abandoned stretch of land they just landed on.
"I know perfectly well where we are…Sokka where are we?"
"I don't know, you have the map!"
"I gave the map to you Sokka!"
"I have the map you idiots!" Katara snapped in frustration. "Unfortunately neither of you ever asked me for directions so I assumed you knew where you were going! I apologize, big mistake on my part."
"We need to reach the North Pole, I know we're really close," Aang supplied.
"Yah, just keep flying North," Sokka grinned. Katara glared at both of them and Aang winced.
"Katara?" he asked meekly, "Katara I'm sorry, I know how seriously you take this."
"You should take it seriously as well Aang!" Katara sighed. "This isn't just your destiny; you are the hope of all the nations."
"Well, not the fire nation," Sokka added in.
"Yes even the fire nation!" Katara insisted. Aang and Sokka gave her blank looks so she continued. "If Aang doesn't fulfill his destiny as the Avatar even the fire nation will end up destroying themselves in the long run.
"I think we may have a bit more sense then to do that," the three looked up to see Prince Zuko of the fire nation standing before them with a bunch of his men.
"Zuko!" Aang roared, already soaring a few feet in the air, preparing for battle.
"Avatar," Zuko acknowledged, flames spouting at the palms of his hands. The two went at it immediately, Aang soaring and avoided Zuko's attacks which were coming on furiously. Sokka tried his best to fend off a few of Zuko's Fire-bender guards but was failing considering he was outnumbered and outmatched in skill. Five or so guards surrounded Katara who tried her best to extinguish their flames using her limited water-bending skills but it was to no avail.
"Aang!" Katara screamed as the guards took hold of her, forcing her onto the ship.
"Katara!" Aang shouted, soaring towards her as swiftly as he could but not before Zuko managed to send a particularly nasty fireball in his direction. The fireball caught up with Aang before he could get to Katara and it shot him down. The last thing he saw was Katara's terrified ice blue eyes on his before they shut the door.
Really short I know but I'm running short on time tonight. Gaps in the info will be answered in the next chapter which I will get out really soon even loner if I get good reviews!
