A/N: that's all 4 now! Anywho, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Aang sat on the Statue and waited silently. From the color of the sky, he concluded that there was only three hours until dawn. He stared up at the faint stars shining in the sky. He couldn't help but remember the time when he and Katara stayed up and watched the sun rise. It was one of the most beautiful things that have ever happened to him. Not because of the dawn, no. When he lived at the Southern Air Temple, he would wake up silently before everybody and would watch the sun rise every day. The thing that made that one time so special to Aang was that he shared it with none other than Katara. She actually held his hand...willingly. Aang couldn't help but smile fondly at the memory that he would cherish for the rest of his life.
Aang was predicting that the Fire Nation soldiers would do a dawn ambush. Heh. Ever since he met Katara and Sokka, it was actually a rare time if he ever got any more than seven hours of sleep a night. For one thing, Sokka's snoring wasn't exactly a lullaby. In fact, it was the exact opposite. His snoring could wake a rock. And the other reason is that Aang was always in deep thought about his Avatar duties that kept him up alot.
On the shore...
"Uncle! Are we ready for the dawn attack?" One teenage boy asked. He was in Fire Nation clothing. His pitch-black hair was pulled back into a pony-tail. His face had a stern, hard, unforgiving look on it. And he had a scar from a severe fire burn on his left eye from some sort of a firebending duel.
"Yes, Prince Zuko. Now please stop your pacing! You are making it hard for me to enjoy my jinsang tea." Uncle Iroh said calmly as he sipped some tea from a small tea cup. "I don't need any stupid tea!" Zuko snapped. "Fine. No need to insult the tea." Uncle Iroh said calmly as he took another sip. "Uhh!" Zuko groaned.
Three minutes to dawn...
Aang started rapping his fingers against the cool wood that he was calmly perched upon. Hall of a sudden Aang heard the familiar footsteps of marching soldiers. It was time. Aang silently counted down the minutes until there were only ten seconds until dawn.
'Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,' Aang thought. He could see people in the distance approaching fast. 'Four, three, two,' Aang's thoughts grew louder as his heart raced.
Closer and closer they came until... "One." Aang said softly. At that exact second, balls of fire broke the darkness.
Aang stood up. He could see the soldiers throwing fireballs at the village. And they were being led by none other than the short-fused tempered Prince Zuko and his tea-loving Uncle Iroh.
Dawn...
"Avatar! Show yourself!" Zuko yelled. Uncle Iroh was just standing calmly sipping his jinsang tea.
"Looking for me?" Aang said, drawing attention to the statue. "Prepare to be eliminated!" Zuko roared as him and about twenty other soldiers sent fire kicks at Aang. They missed, for Aang grabbed his glider and flew into the middle of the village.
"Come here!" Zuko yelled.
Tap.
"You will surrender!"
Tap.
"I'll give you until the count of three! One,"
Tap.
"Two,"
Tap.
"Three!"
Tap.
Then, out of nowhere, came Suki, Katara, Sokka, and all of the other warriors, fans out and bravery thriving.
"ATTACK! NO MERCY!" Zuko roared as he sent a fire kick at one of the warrior girls. And so the fight began.
One soldier was fighting Sokka. The soldier sent a wave of fire towards him, making Sokka fall over.
"Sokka!" Suki yelled as she leaped off of one soldier's shoulders and off another's head, and then pinned down another. After causing enough pain to the soldier to rein him unconscious, she leaped up and smacked the soldier's head with her fan, causing extreme pain surging through the soldier's body. Then she knelt down next to Sokka and helped him up.
"Are you okay?" Suki asked.
"Other than having the biggest urge to go jump into the ocean, then yeah. Fine." Sokka said. "Good. Wouldn't want by boyfriend to get killed, now, would I?" Suki giggled as she gave him a small kiss. "No. No you wouldn't!" Sokka beamed.
Meanwhile, Katara was busy fighting off soldiers with her water bending. She found this small tablet of stone at a marketplace that had some water bending techniques on it. She first smacked one soldier with a small wave of water, and then another one with a small paddle-shaped wave. All of a sudden, one soldier grabbed her.
"MOMO! NOW!" She screamed. All of a sudden, MoMo flew down from the big rock and dropped a sack full of peaches on the soldiers, about 10 knocked unconscious completely. "Good job MoMo." Katara laughed as she stroked MoMo. "Now, go help the others!" She said. At that, MoMo was off in a flash.
Most of his men were being battled or were unconscious. Zuko was mad at this. So he sent a fireball right at Katara.
"Katara!" Aang yelled as he jumped in front of her and did a kick that sent an air blast, blowing the fireball in the other direction.
"Aang! Thank you!" Katara said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.
"Oh, such a tender moment. Too bad that I'm not a fan of nice, mushy stuff. Say goodbye, Avatar." And at that, Zuko sent an enormous fire wave at Aang. "Aang! Look out!" Katara yelled, releasing Aang from their hug.
Aang had no time to even flinch. The wave hit him full contact. It sent him flying fifteen feet backwards. "Aang!" Katara screeched as she ran to Aang, whom was now lying on the ground. "Aang! Aang, wake up! You have to wake up! Aang!" Katara screamed as she knelt next to him, shaking him by his shoulders. No response. "Aang! Please wake up! Please! You have to wake up!" Katara waited for a response. The only response she got was dead silence. "Aang..." Katara's eyes stung with tears.
"It's no use! The Avatar is gone!" Zuko laughed. "No...No! You're lying! Aang will wake up! I know he will!" Katara screamed as tears streamed down her face. "Aw! That's so cute! You actually still have hope! Too bad no amount of hope will help you now!" Zuko's laugh was like an icy dagger being repeatedly stabbed into her heart. "YOU MONSTER!" Katara roared as she sent a water whip at him. It sent him flying backwards. Katara was now breathing heavily. She was furious. She was more than furious. She needed revenge. Revenge for her mother, the world, Aang, and herself.
All of a sudden, the fighting ceased, and all eyes were on Katara and Zuko. "YOU LITTLE!" Zuko roared. He sent a blast of fire at Katara. She blocked it with a water shield. Then she sent a ball of water at him. Zuko was soaked. HE was furious. He sent a wave of fire at her, knocking her next to Aang.
From the corner of Katara's eye, she saw Aang stir. "Aang!" Katara yelled in joy. She ran over and knelt beside him. "Aang?" She asked. Aang's eye's opened. They were glowing blue. "His Avatar spirit!" Katara gasped. All of a sudden, rocks, leaves, and other plants circled around him. Aang sent an enormous rock at Zuko. It knocked him fifty feet in the air.
"RETREAT!" He screamed, as he ran towards his Uncle to get him to go to the ship. They did it! They won!
As everyone cheered at their victory, Aang descended to the ground.
"Aang!" Katara gasped as she ran over to the falling boy. She caught him just in time. Katara laid him soundly on the ground, one arm still wrapped around his shoulders for support, and the other hand resting soundly on his chest.
"Uh…Katara? Is that you?" Aang asked as he slowly opened his big blue eyes. "Yes, Aang." Katara was nearly crying with joy. Aang was alive! He was really alive! After a moment's pause, Katara flung her arms around Aang's neck and hugged him tight. "Katara," Aang said as they hugged joyfully. "Yeah Aang?" "Thanks."
