Chapter 3-A fight and an Explanation Part 1
The Guardians
"Guardians Unite!" Will yelled holding up the crystal. Bright pink light absorbed them, and the girls felt the changes happen
"Water!"
"Fire!"
"Earth!"
"Air!"
The girls finished transforming, and stood to face the three kids. Needless to say, they all looked a little surprised. It didn't take them long to recover though, but Taranee had a lot to do with that.
""Fire!" she cried, sending a fireball straight toward them. It hit the ground just in front of them, and knocked them all backwards.
"Firebender!" the boy with the arrow yelled, jumping up. The two other kids scrambled up, both looked mad.
"Firebender huh?" said the girl standing up. "Well this should cool her off…"
She waved her hands and almost obediently, the water from the river nearby rose and shot straight at Taranee. It hit her and knocked her backwards.
"Hey!" Irma yelled. "Water is my element!" That said, she shot a stream of water at the kids, and knocked them backwards.
"That all you got?" yelled the black boy as he stood up. He threw his boomerang at the guardians, and hit Cornelia.
"Hey!" Hay Lin yelled. She focused right on the boy with the arrows on his head, and shot a gust of wind aright at him. The boy held up his staff and hit the air with it, knocking the gust off course.
"What gives?" he yelled. "I'm the last Airbender, all my people were killed! Who are you?"
"We're the Guardians of the Veil!" said Hay Lin. "Not that you'll have time to learn it"
Taranee pulled herself up, still dripping.
"Look", said the black boy. "You don't seem like bad people, so why are you with a Firebender?"
"What?" said Will, clearly confused. The boy with the arrow pointed at Taranee, and suddenly, he turned around, opened his staff, and flew away.
"What?" said Taranee. "What did I do?"
"Firebender!" the remaining boy yelled. He through his boomerang at her, but she flew away.
"Stop that!" Will yelled. "I don't know what you have against these Firebenders, or whatever they are, but Taranee isn't bad. Now who are you?"
"I'm Katara", said the girl stepping forward. "This is Sokka. Who are you, and what do you mean, she isn't bad? I have never met a decent Firebender"
"We're the Guardians of the Veil", said Will.
"What's this veil you keep talking about?" asked Sokka.
"We have a lot to explain", said Will.
"Well that's something you don't hear everyday" Sokka said half an hour later. The girls had finished explaining about the veil and Meridian and guardians, and Katara and Sokka were in shock, needless to say.
"Now why don't you like these firebender people?" Will asked.
"The fire nation is ruthless", said Katara. "They started the war one hundred years ago. Well, one hundred years where we're from. They killed off all of Aangs' people, the airbenders. He's the last one left. They killed mine and Sokkas' mother as well"
"I'm sorry", said Taranee. "I didn't realize my powers brought up such horrible memories for everyone"
"Is that what bending is called?" asked Katara. "Well, it's not your fault, as long as you're not evil"
"Course not", said Taranee. "I'm gonna go find Aang, try and talk to him"
Avatar
Aang was walking thru the woods. He felt bad about leaving Katara and Sokka, but he didn't want to be near a firebender. They killed my people, Aang thought, his temper flaring. They killed Gyatso, my friends, everyone! I have a right to be mad!
"Aang!"
He heard his name, but as soon as he saw who was calling his name, he felt the urge to run. It was the firebender from before. But as he turned to run, he heard her yell, "Wait! I wont hurt you, I promise!"
He turned around and saw her standing there, looking at him concerned.
"Katara and Sokka told me about your people", she said. "And I just wanna say, I'm not like that"
"You're not?" Aang asked.
"My name's Taranee", she said, stepping forward. "And no, I'm not. Believe it or not, I'm good"
"What was that thing we came here thru?" Aang asked, taking a chance with this girl.
"A portal", she said. "A rip in the veil. That's why there are guardians, to close the portals"
Aang smiled, finally taking trust in the girl-Taranee.
So what-"
But he broke off at a gasp from Taranee, and turned around to find another portal.
