Return of the American Firebender

A/n: I know that I haven't had a lot of action, but it has taken longer than I thought to get to this part. Now we have some action coming into play. As I said, May is still hunted by the Fire Nation. So go ahead and read chapter 6. Oh, and thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 6:

A couple days passed as the weather grew colder. Zuko's ship was docked at a port. May was with Zuko near a river not far from the small port town. Both had completely forgotten that May was still being hunted by the Fire Nation. May was sitting on a small rock. Zuko was sitting on a log.

"What's your world like, May?" asked Zuko.

"It's sad, and also happy at the same time." said May. "We fined new animals and plants while we're destroying the rain forest. Some places though, are breath taking."

"So you go to a school for 9 months." said Zuko.

"Yeah, as I told you. I go across the country to go to a boarding school." said May. "That place can be get really fun. One minute we're studying, the next we're playing games on our laptops."

"Your world sounds different than mine." said Zuko.

"You don't know how different." said May. "You'll have to come visit it someday."

Zhao's ship had pulled up to dock. Zhao looked at Zuko's small ship.

"Perfect. Now I might be able to capture that girl that Zuko is hiding." said Zhao.

May was talking with Zuko about what a car is and what a car does.

"So you get in it and somebody drives the animal called a car." said Zuko confused. Put her hand on her head and sighed.

"It's NOT an animal. It's a machine. You get in it. You start it up using the key." said May. "Then you have someone with a diver's license drive the car to where you want to go."

"Give me the girl!" ordered Zhao who was coming out from the bushes.

"What do you want, monkey brain?" said May angrily.

"Oh, have you forgotten that you are the Fire Nation's most wanted list." said Zhao.

"Better luck next time Zhao!" yelled May. She started running into the woods.

"Get her!" yelled Zhao. His troops emerged from the bushes and began after May. Zuko watched as May ran from Zhao's soldiers. Zuko turned and glared at Zhao.

"Why are you after my prisoner?" yelled Zuko.

"Prisoner?" Zhao said. He gave a small chuckle. "It looked more like she was your girlfriend!"

"She is not my girlfriend!" yelled Zuko.

May was running, but the soldiers were gaining fast.

Gotta find help! Gotta find help! thought May. A fireball whizzed right passed May's head. May started sprinting as hard as se could. Her heart pounded in her chest. Her muscles ached with pain. Her breath was short and quick. Her feet hit the ground hard. Fireballs started flying passed her. One burned a little off her shirt. May ran into a dead end. She turned around to face about 20 firebenders.

"Shit!" she said under her breath.

"Give it up!" yelled a firebender.

"Never!" yelled May. A huge shadow blacked out the sunlight above. A gust of wind pushed the firebenders off their feet. A flying bison landed on the ground. An airbender jumped down sending firebenders into the sky.

"are you okay?" asked Aang. May nodded slowly.

"Well, get on!" yelled Katara. "Zhao is nearby!" May climbed up on the bison.

"Appa yip yip!" said Sokka. Appa took off into the sky.

"Thanks! I owe you one." said May sitting down.

"No problem, but why were they chasing you?" asked Aang.

"I'm being hunted because I was suppose to be executed." said May. "Well, they after me now."

"Why were you going to be executed?" asked Sokka suspiciously.

"Because I called Zhao really bad names!" said May.

"Well, you can stay with us if you want." said Katara.

"Yeah, but I should tell Zuko if I do." said May.

"ZUKO!" yelled Sokka, Katara, and Aang in unison.

"Yeah, but he is friend!" said May. "I convince him to let Aang go!"

"How do you know my name?" asked Aang.

"You convinced Zuko to let Aang go!" yelled Katara.

"Your helping Zuko capture Aang aren't you!" yelled Sokka.

"WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" yelled May. "I'll explain everything."

A/N: Finally i got to someof the good stuff! Finally we had where we had Zhao in it and an actuall fight!
