Once Appa had been above Zuko's ship, Aang used his Airbending techniques to get Sokka, Magnolia, and himself down from Appa. After getting them down most of the Fire Nation soldiers upon Zuko's ship then circled Aang and his group. As Aang realized time was slowly going by he frowned as he looked toward Sokka and Magnolia. Before Aang got a chance to speak, she smiled to them slightly then said, "You two save that Katara girl and I'll handle these guys. It'll be just fine." Aang nodded slightly to her for perhaps the last time...after that nod he used Airbending on himself and Sokka to give them a head start on the run to find Katara.
That shadowbending female known as Magnolia began to use shadowbending on the Fire Nation soldiers trapping some of them within shadows which flowed from various parts of the boat near her. Of course Magnolia was doing good, but it could only last for so long against so many soldiers. Before she could turn and use defense she found herself with a sword jabbed into a spot close to her left shoulder through her chest. Magnolia staggered just slightly trying to keep herself up as the crimson hued blood flowed out of her wound at such a gentle pace. As she continued to force herself to continue using shadowbending and cause the blood to flow faster due to the fact that the beat of her heart getting faster trying to give the whole body enough blood to function properly.
Sadly, just as Magnolia was turning to face the last few Fire Nation soldiers a dagger was jabbed right into her back causing yet another wound to slowly allow blood to escape her body. Magnolia finished off the last few Fire Nation soldiers encasing them within shadows...of course after they sent a blast of fire toward her arm. She then fell to her knees as she narrowed that exposed eye of hers slightly she muttered softly to herself, "There's someone out there...just waiting for me but..." She just glanced down slowly as she began losing touch with reality at the same time as that exposed eye of hers filled with tears, "They're just waiting for nothing now..." Those were the last words she muttered just before she collapsed on the right side of her body.
As for Aang and Sokka they were rushing toward one of the many rooms that they haven't checked. Aang quickly opening door after door saying "No Katara here!" every moment he got the wrong door. Though as soon as he got the right door he opened it quickly as he did with the other doors, but this time he ran in and yelled out, "Katara!" Katara looked up then smiled brightly to Aang and said, "Aang!" Sokka blinked then looked around for a moment then he yelled out in a high pitched voice, "Sokka! You're my hero! Thank you for risking your life and your food eating time to help me! I'M SO THANKFUL!"
Katara looked blankly at Sokka then blinked before saying, "Gee Sokka...that ego of yours isn't changing the fact that-WAIT! Aang, Sokka! You two have to get out of here...this seems like a giant trap." Aang blinked as he smiled slightly to her before saying, "Katara, we're not leaving without you." Sokka then blinked and smiled slightly as he said, "Yeah Katara, we're staying 'till the bitter end. Even if it means we're going to die." Katara's eyes widened as she noticed a Fire Nation soldier rush in right behind Sokka and knock him out quickly then escape before she could then yell out, "Sokka!" Katara's eyes swelled with tears as she looked to the doorway, the last member of her family near her was now gone and out of her life.
As she looked down crying remembering the bitter sweet memories with Sokka she gasped for a moment as Aangs hands moved up to her face in a fluid motion as he gently wiped away her tears. Aang looked up to her with those silvery teal hued eyes as he said, "Don't worry Katara..you and I will get Sokka back, ok?" To finish his sentence he smiled that tender loving smile to her just before he gave her a short kiss. Soon as he pulled away he smiled brightly before saying, "Alright! Now to get you outta those chains!" When he finished those words he quickly did some swift movements carefully aiming only for the chains weak points sharp gusts of razor sharp wind snapped the chains after using that airbending tactic for a while of course.
As katara fell from the area she was chained to for quite some time,Aang quickly caught her and set her down upon her feet. Before Katara knew it, Aang was holding her hand and leading her quickly out of there. They both felt that it was a bit too easy to get her out of that room she was chained in. Amazingly enough, Aang stopped seeing Zuko's figure charging at them. Aang smiled nervously for a moment just as he said, "Had a feeling it was too easy!"
Zuko had then narrowed his eyes as soon as he stopped quite a distance from them. The banished Fire Nation prince, after having a moment of silence said, "Avatar, I've finally got you in my grasp. I knew this would work..all this time after noticing how you and the walrus are together, this plan finally worked." Aang was just on the verge of speaking but then a Fire Nation soldier walked past Katara and Aang, as soon as that Fire Nation soldier walked past them that Fire Nation soldier stood in front of Aang and Katara. Zuko then snapped out "You! What're y-" He then recognized that Fire Nation soldier from quite a time ago, he then knew that he didn't just tell those words to one of his soldiers.
The supposed Fire Nation soldier then got in a fighting stance. Aang and Katara took this time to use the soldier as a distraction as they ran off to find Sokka. Zuko grit his teeth and looked right at the supposed Fire Nation soldier who then stood their ground against Zuko so that Aang and Katara could get by. He looked at the soldier then muttered, "I know it's you." Zuko's eyes then widened as he heard foot steps coming their way, he then snapped out to the soldier, "Get out of here, now!"
As Zuko grit his teeth allowing that soldier to run past him. He let her slip from his grasp at that moment. The one girl who he constantly tried to find out more about from the one who he called a walrus. He then felt as if his heart was torn once again from her departure...the girl that didn't turn into a pathetic fangirl at the very glance, the girl that fought her own battles, the girl who wasn't afraid to die for a cause, the girl who took time to listen and not talk back to him. Iroh then walked over to Zuko with a confused look upon his face as he said, "Prince Zuko, most of the soldiers are out cold...uh not cold as the temperature-"
Zuko then interrupted, "I know what you mean Uncle Iroh...the Avatar and his walrus just escaped." He then blinked as he stared off for a moment in the direction the soldier ran just before he looked over to Iroh, "Uncle, we need to figure out a new plan." Iroh then gave Zuko a firm nod as he then put his hands in his sleeves preparing to get deep within his own thoughts. Zuko may have lost for now but he intended on trying to find a way to get Aang and Katara back in his clutches. Iroh chuckled for a moment just as he looked to Zuko, "Prince Zuko, you'll find this amusing, you see...we could've won if you killed the Avatar's girlfriend right away...isn't that..." Zuko then had a confused look upon his face as he looked to Iroh, "Why didn't I think of that? ...Uncle this is the last time we leave a soldier in charge of killing a walrus."
Back with Aang and Katara, they were running through the ship as fast as they could trying to find Sokka. Katara then blinked and frowned as she said, "Aang, if we don't get out of this...I just want you to please remember me when you get reincarnated." Aang then looked back to her, he was quite shocked since no one told any of the past Avatar's that. How he knew that was some time durring the years he managed to tap into the spirits of the past Avatars within him. He smiled to her sweetly then said, "Katara, I can't forget someone like you, and I never will!...Uhhhh unless I get amnesia." Katara then laughed softly for a short moment as she and Aang continued their search for Sokka.
Ta da! Chapter 4 is now done...shall it...continue!
