Chapter 20: The Great God

The guard told Kellie and Zuko where Aang was sleeping, and Kellie was out in a flash.

If this could blow over, I would make cross country teams for this world. They're all too slow.

Kellie thought. She skidded to a halt outside the 12-year-olds' room. Blue light was shining through the cracks in the door.

Kellie opened the door. Aang was standing there, staring at his hands. He looked up.

"Kellie!" He yelled. The blue light poured from his mouth.

"Kellie! What's going on? Help-"Suddenly, there was an indefinite roar out of nowhere, and something happened to Aang. His voice changed into one that wasn't his, and it was very commanding.

"Take me upstairs, into the fresh air. I'm too weak to do it myself." Aang yelled. Kellie shook her head.

"No Aang! You need to say inside!" The voice grew angry.

"NO! YOU FOOL! UPSTAIRS! NOW!" Kellie, frightened horribly by the voice, scooped Aang up into her arms, on the verge of blindness from the blue light.

Kellie stumbled through the halls, searching for the hatch. It was hard to find since the light coming from Aang was blinding her. But she couldn't ask for directions, since the roaring in her ears was deafening her.

Finally, Kellie fell through the hatch, and onto the deck. Aang fell out of her arms, not to be noticed until later.

Kellie sighed in relief as she began to see colors other than blue. She felt joy overwhelm her when she found the roaring had ceased. But her happiness was short-lived.

There were all the gods. In front of the ship. For one last stand.

Air gods, Fire gods, and Water gods. They were all there. And ready to kill each other.

"The Air gods must die! For Air gives Fire life! So if Air dies, so does Fire!" The Water gods yelled in unison.

"Water kills the Fire. Water must go!" The Fire gods all yelled one after another.

"You wish for us to die, so you must go as well!" The Air gods yelled to the Water gods.

Kierra was among the Water gods and goddesses. She was trembling in fear.

It will all end soon.

Kierra told herself.

Because the Great God has arrived.

Kellie ran onto the bow of the ship, as the battle began. Kellie filled her lungs with air, threw her head back, and yelled.

"STOP!" The imaginary chains wrapped around the gods once more, and they all froze. Their heads were all turned up towards her.

"Don't you see what you've done? The world was bad enough when the Fire Nation waged war, but now with you so-called gods duking it out, you're gonna be the death of us all! Simply because you mistook a half-blood Prince for pure!" The gods looked at each other.

"If I go down," one Water god started.

"I want to make sure," a Fire god continued.

"You're all dead first." An Air god finished. And the battle of the gods took place right before Kellie's eyes. She watched sadly, singing her war song.

I've known no war

And if I ever do I won't know for sure

Who'll be fighting whom

For the soldiers lonely tomb

Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar

I'll know no war

Galbraith took his pen

To break down the men

Of the German army defeated

On the nineteenth day

Of a spring day in May

Albert Speer was deleted

And as soon as the battle was over

I was born in victorious clover

And I've never been shot at or gassed

Never tortured or stabbed

And I'm sure- I'll never know war

I know I'll never know war

And if I ever do

The glimpse will be short

Fireball in the sky

No front line battle cries

Can be heard as the button is pushed

By a soul that's been bought

I'll know no war

In and out of reach loft

The medals are lost

They belong to a lone broken sailor

His provinces now

Are the bars of the town

His songs and his poems of failure

For his grandchildren can't see the glory

And his own kids are bored with the story

But for him they'd have burned behind netting

From the brink they were grabbed

And I'm sure

I'll never know war

I've known no war

And if I ever do I won't know for sure

Who'll be fighting whom

For the soldiers lonely tomb

Now opens as soon as the referee's gun starts to roar

I'll know no war

War-I've known no war

I'll never know war

And if I ever know it

The glimpse will be short

Fireball in the sky

No front line battle cries

Can be heard as the button is pushed by a soul that's been bought

And the armies remaining will judge without people or courts

And there's no point pretending that knowing will help us abort

I'll know no war

Kellie's song ended, and she looked at the ocean. There were few surviving gods from the battle.

Just then, there was a flash of light from behind her. Kellie whirled around.

"AANG!" She screamed. She ran up to him. Suddenly, there was another flash of light. Kellie was forced to stop, and raise her arms over her eyes. If it weren't for the light, Kellie would have seen Aang's eyes roll into his head.

As soon as the light died, Kellie ran up to Aang, who was lying on the metal floor of the ship.

Kellie put her hand over his heart, and screamed. She stared in horror at the blood that coated her palm. What struck the most terror was what Kellie had felt. Nothing. Aang's heart was gone.

Aang held on for a few fleeting moments. He looked up at Kellie, and gasped.

"Ell…" He attempted to say her name for the final time. Aang closed his eyes, and Kellie felt his life slip away, into death. The last thing Aang saw was her face, and Aang was happy for that.

"AANG!" Kellie screamed again. Tears stormed down her cheeks. Kellie pounded onto the metal floor of the deck time and time again. Tears streaming and making giant puddles.

"IT ISN'T FAIR!" She cried.

"HE DESERVED A HAPPY LIFE! NOT TO DIE JUST BECAUSE OF SOME DAMNED GOD!" Kellie kept on pounding on the floor with her fists.

"NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR!" Kellie screamed for who knows how long.

Kellie felt someone pick her up in their arms, but the feeling was far away. Kellie couldn't see them, she was lost in the darkness of her sorrow.

Zuko looked down at his fiancée sadly. She was crying at the death of a child.

"Kellie," he whispered. Zuko knelt down, and hugged Kellie fiercely.

Kellie was wandering through some misty realm. Kellie recognized it as Death. She knew why she was here. Kellie wanted badly for Aang to return to Life, to return to her. But he was very far from Life, it would be hard to find him.

"Kellie," She whirled around. Someone had said her name. The voice had felt so familiar, yet so distant.

Kellie saw a gentle glow from around a dead and twisted tree. She walked around it to the glow, and felt the warmth of Life envelop her…

Kellie opened her eyes to see Zuko staring down at her. Kellie threw her arms around Zuko's neck and sobbed.

"Zuko, he's gone, Aang's gone, he's dead, I tried to bring him back, but I couldn't, I couldn't find him…" Kellie cried, and Zuko held her.

"Shh, it's ok, Kellie. He'll be reincarnated, we can go the Poles and look for him. It's going to be ok…" Kellie shook her head.

"No, the God took his heart. And his spirit. He can't come back." Kellie sniffed one last time, and trembling, she stood up.

A bright light suddenly flared up in the sky, and from inside it, a voice boomed.

"I am the Great God, the one no mortal nor god dare defy. Kneel before me before your deaths." Chains wrapped around Zuko, his men, the remaining gods, and Kellie. Everyone fell to a knee, except her. Kellie fought the urge to kneel. She screamed up to the brilliance.

"I am Kellie, Daughter of Fire and Water, and I dare defy you."

Hehe, lopchop's gonna scream at this. She don't like cliffies. HAHA!

INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
LONG LIVE THE HIPPIES!
