Hello, my reviewers! Sorry I took so long. Flames may slow me down, but it won't stop me from completing my very first story. You know, call me crazy, but I actually want to thank my mystery flamer. His or her insults are toughening me up. After all, I need it in order to get ready for high school. So, thanks! Although, your flames did toughen me up, but when I first got them, it hurt me a lot. I'm a pretty sensitive girl. So please don't do it again. Anyways, to those who like my fanfiction, ENJOY!

Chapter: 10

After hours of looking for the ship, she finally found it. However, it was just a few miles away from the Fire Nation docks. She flew as fast as she can to reach the ship. When she was just above the ship, she began to circle it. Her ears began to move. She was listening for Zuko's voice. Minutes later, she heard him. She knew exactly where he was. She hovered over the ship, took a deep breath, and blew out a huge stream of fire to the ship. The impact made a hole on the ship's deck.

As the smoke cleared off, Zuko jumped out of the hole and onto deck. He was unharmed. Shonen flew down to his side. She turned back to her human form. She seemed out of breath. "Are you okay?" Zuko asked. She nodded and asked, "Where is Zhao?"

"Don't worry, Shonen. He's all tied up, along with the rest of his crew. Although, I have some bad news."

"What is it, Zuko?"

"He…"

"Yes."

He looked down. "He killed your father."

Shonen clenched her fists. Tears poured out of her eyes. "That jerk! I knew it!" She yelled, as her fists began to catch fire. Zuko patted her shoulder, causing her to cool down. Her eyes began to glow yellow. She chanted a spell in a strange language. The hole she made in the ship was gone. Then her dragon wings appeared. She grabbed Zuko and flew back to the palace. " What did you do, Shonen?" He asked.

" I chanted a spell to not only fix his ship, but to also erase part of his memory. He won't remember the deal he made with Kotor and Okkatoru.'

"I see…"

When they returned to the palace, they were shocked. The throne room was in ruins. Large claws marks covered the walls. "These marks are neither dragon nor… something else." Shonen said, observing the marks. While looking around, she heard a voice from under the rubble. " S-S- Shonen? Is that you?" It said. "Mother!" She said. "What happened here?"

"It was Kotor." She said. "That brother of yours attacked me while you were out finding Zuko. He sneaked up on me and took the crown. He is now very powerful. I couldn't stop him."

Just when Shonen was about to speak, Kotor came crashing through the walls. He was wearing the crown. "Hello, baby sister." He said. "Are you and your boyfriend ready to take me on in an agnikai? Besides, it's 2 against 1, you two seem to have the upper hand.'

Shonen looked at Zuko. "Zuko, do you want take him on?" She asked. "You know he's not really human, and I don't want you to get hurt." He just smiled and cracked his knuckles. "Don't worry, Shonen." He said. "I can fight as well as you do." She nodded as both of them went into a fighting stance.

"How sweet." Kotor taunted. "Those who fight together will die together." He jumped onto a broken pillar. "BEHOLD! THE POWER OF THE GUARDIAN DRAGON!" He yelled. The crown's jewel began to glow. Suddenly, a huge fire wall surrounded him. Shonen and Zuko could only see his silhouette. His body began to change. "What's happening, Shonen?" Zuko asked, but she didn't answer.

Seconds later, Kotor emerged from the fire wall. He transformed completely. He looked like a crossbreed from a snake and a dragon. He had the tail of a snake and the upper body of a dragon. The crown has merged with his head. "Now, you brats!" He yelled. "Time to face your doom!" Will Zuko and Shonen be able to defeat Kotor?"

S.S.S.
