Authors note: Yeah, it took long 'cause I was updating my other stories. Sorry.


When they got out of the cell, they found their selves in a long hallway. The walls were all rusty, with what seemed like blood on them. It was disgusting, and it left a bad thought in their head. They knew pirates were bad, but this was devastating. Soon, they found themselves at the deck. Fortunately, none of the pirates saw them there.

"This is strange," whispered Katara. "You would think they would keep a better eye on their prisoners."

"Yeah," whispered Ariel.

"Hey," said Ayame. "Maybe we can get a boat! And they wont notice us!"

They stared at her.

"Hey, I'm just throwing out ideas!" shouted Ayame. This time, the pirates saw them.

"GET THEM!" shouted the leader. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"

A whole bunch of pirates came out with ropes, nets, swords, and knives. They were all grinning at the girls. One even winked at Ariel.

"AH GOD!" shouted Ariel.

"ATTACK! DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"

"You said that already," said one of the pirates.

All the pirates came forward. Half of them went after Katara first. Leaving Ariel and Ayame with little.

"Oh what?" shouted Ariel. "I'm not good enough for you?"

A pirate came after Ariel from the back. She dodged it, but only because she saw a gold piece on the floor. The pirate tripped over her body and fell into the ocean. Ariel laughed. She bended the water and he died from drowning.

A pirate came after Ayame's back with a knife. She heard his footsteps behind her; he wasn't at all good at keeping quiet. She shifted her body and kicked the knife out of his hand. He looked surprised. Ayame smiled then kicked him into the sea. He was later devoured by man-eating starfish.

Katara was using waterbending to defeat her enemies. She had almost mastered the water whip, and was getting very good at it. She had also learned other moves too. Like this one where you whip the water above the enemy, then freeze it so heaving ice would fall on them. And everyone who watches movies should know, that people are to stupid to move out of the way. They would just stand in the same place staring at it until it hit them.

Katara made a big wave and splashed it on the deck to use to her advantage. Ariel came to help, also using airbending. Katara was shocked and surprised at first, but quickly got over it for pirates coming after her. Ayame however, stayed back away from the water. She had always hated water, not just because she was a firebender, as long as its cold, its okay with her. But if it's warm, she stays back. And the ocean water was warm for some reason.

Ayame was fighting other pirates away from the water. But she can't help thinking that Katara was going to get stabbed in the thigh. And Ariel was going to get jabbed in the arm. She kept having these strange feelings and thoughts. Until, it happened. At the same time, Katara and Ariel were stabbed by the same pirate, and the same places where Ayame had thought.

"NO!" shouted Ayame as they fell to the floor. Oh no, she thought, not again! Please don't let this happen again! She started to fell her rage fire up inside of her. Her body heat came intensively hot, and the wood under started to smoke. She ran up to the pirate who had stabbed them, and threw a blast of fire straight towards his face. Other pirates came after her. She punched one in the eye, and lifted another by its next. One by one, every pirate on the ship was in the sea, either from Ayame throwing them, or they were hiding from her rage.

Ayame went to the girls. She tore up a rag that she had in her bag and tied it around their wounds.

Ariel had fallen unconscious, but Katara was still awake. She had never seen that side of Ayame before. It was true, that a firebenders bending ability all depends on their emotions. Now she knew not to get on Ayame's bad side.

"T-t-thank you," Katara was able to mumble it out.

"No prob," said Ayame smiling. "Sorry 'bout before, I-I just couldn't control myself. Sadly, I could have stopped it."

"No," said Katara. "You probably couldn't,"

"No that's just it! I could have!" Ayame shouted. "I knew it was going to happen!" Tears started to come out of her eyes.

Sokka was looking down over the ocean. He had to find Katara and Ayame.

"Hey!" shouted Aang. "LOOK! There's Prince Zuko's ship! Hey must be after Ariel."

Sokka looked down again. In the distance he saw a ship. It had a black sail on it. It was the pirate ship!

"Aang, there it is!" pointed Sokka.

Aang guided Appa down near the ship.

Zuko saw Appa glide down. He looked to where they were heading. Then he saw the ship, and he also saw three figures.

"Over there," he told his captain.

"Katara," said Ayame with a spark in her voice. "I see Aang!"

Katara tried to get up, but she winced in pain. Finally she got up. "Yeah, but Prince Zuko too,"

"Oh COME ON!" shouted Ayame.

Katara could feel the wood getting hotter and hotter. She lifted her palm and bended water and splashed Ayame.

"Thanks, I needed that,"

Ayame looked back out to sea. Zuko was getting closer. But so was Aang and Sokka.

"Can you walk?" asked Ayame.

"Yeah, I think so,"

Katara took awhile, but she finally got up. Ayame went over to Ariel, who was still unconscious, and put her over her shoulders.

"Hey, do you smell something burning?" asked Katara.

Ayame looked at her butt, then everywhere else on her body. "Nope, it's not me this time,"

Katara looked around. Then she saw some smoke and flames coming from the other side of the ship.

"SHOOT!" shouted Katara. "We have to put it out, the others wont be here in time!"

"You can use waterbending cant you?" asked Ayame with a very frightened look on her face.

"No, I'm too weak," Katara thought for a minute. "Hey, you're a firebender, maybe you can do something about it,"

Now Ayame seemed VERY scared. Obviously, she was afraid of fire. Which did not put her in a good position for she was a firebender.

"I'll try,"

Ayame lifted her hands. She faced them towards the fire and breathed. Suddenly, instead of generating flames, Ayame did the exact opposite. She bended the flames over to her, then, they evaporated into her hands. Firebending can destroy, but it can also do good.

"Whoa," said Ariel in awe. She had been watching the whole thing, and she had been up the whole time. She was just too lazy to say anything she would rather be carried then to walk on her own. "That was amazing! How did you do that?"

"I-I don't know," Ayame's voice seemed tired. She fell down, still holding Ariel.

"AHHHHH!" shouted Ariel as she fell to the ground.

/Flashback/

A woman dressed in purple and green, with gold jewelry stepped forward with a bundle of blankets in her hand. "We did it," she said.

She handed the bundle to a man. "What are you going to name her?" he asked.

"Hmm," he voice was very soft and calm. "Ayame,"

"Ayame? Why that name Tsuki?" he asked again.

"Because," She did a motion with her hand. "Look that this beautiful garden, filled with iris flowers," She looked around. (Ayame in Japanese means Iris)

The man opened the bundle of blankets. The baby staring at him was beautiful, yet creepy. Her big lime green eyes seemed to stare into his soul. But yet, her beautiful tan skin was as warm and soft as a new fleece blanket. "Ayame. Wait, doesn't she need a middle name?"

"Yes, I believe your right," Tsuki thought for a moment. "Jipushi." (Gypsy)

"Ayame Jipushi," he said softly. "What a beautiful name."

/End flashback/

Ayame woke to see Katara and Ariel looked down at her.

"AHH!" Ayame shot up like a bullet. "Oh, its you," Ayame paused. Then a big smile lit across her face. "HI!"
