Thank You for the reviews. I got a total of eight reviews.

Important When I wrote this story I didn't know the details to some of the Avatar episodes. I started this after seeing the fifteenth episode. Cutting to the chase Aang has not mastered waterbending, they're still going to the Northern Water Tribe, and most importantly the Northern Water Tribe is downsized in this story. It is only a bit larger than the Southern Water Tribe. That is all.

Disclaimer I only own Vella and the plot nothing else.

Iroh's POV

"Amazing," I said watching Zhao's ship come closer to the shore. It really was, the changes in the Fire Nation happened so quickly, without notice. The other crew members had left not that I could blame them. I most likely would have left too if the Fire Nation was trying to kill someone on the ship. Of course I was that someone. I couldn't help but see a flash of light glimmer from Zhao's ship. "What is that."

It was weird it looked like a star, only it wasn't in the sky. I recalled the note one of Ozai's loyalists gave me.

To General Iroh,

Be careful and take shelter from the Fire Nation. Ozai has been killed by someone going by the name X.A.N.A.. He is now trying to kill you so leave with your nephew at once. also take caution X.A.N.A. has strange powers.

The person who had sent the letter was killed a few hours later. Though they tried the Fire Nation could not intercept the message, not that it mattered. The star grew closer its light looked tainted, evil, not the kind of light a star gave off. It solidified giving shape to a person. I might not have known what he looked like but my guess, it was X.A.N.A.. "X.A.N.A. I presume."

"Very good Iroh, and here I thought dead men tell no tales," X.A.N.A. smirked. "This should be easy, after all Zhao said that you gave up fighting years ago."

"I will not fight you," I stated now a bit uneasy. Even if I did want to fight I doubted I could take on someone who killed Ozai in a matter of minutes.

"I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to get you to kill Zuko."

"I will never kill Zuko, you cannot make me," I said. Could he, after all he did seem more than human.

"Actually I can make you," X.A.N.A. sneered before turning back into the tainted light. He entered my body and I lost control, lost in my own mind. X.A.N.A. not only could make me kill Zuko, he was going to make me kill Zuko.

Unfortunately I have to do Zhao, but I'll do normal POV.

Zhao was now officially confused. Not that he hadn't been before with all X.A.N.A. had done but still having your superior turn into a ball of light and zoom off to the shore was strange. "Lay the anchor," Zhao yelled as he got off the ship to see Iroh looking strange clutching his head. Must have been around Zuko to long.

"I'm in direct order to give you to Fire Lord X.A.N.A.," he yelled at the now standing Iroh.

"You twit I'm in Iroh," Iroh yelled with a tainted voice.

"Nice try Iroh but you're not fooling me," Zhao ordered grabbing him. He received a bad shock on the arm.

"I might not be doing anything but you sure are a fool," X.A.N.A. laughed at Zhao's misery. "Come we'll gain first strike on Zuko and the others."

"And what about Iroh," Zhao pondered.

"Leave that part to me."

Here is normal POV with Aang and the others

"We aren't getting anywhere if we walk," everyone yelled at Sokka. That's all he had been suggesting. Still it was better than Aang's idea. No one thought it was a good idea to have the Avatar stowaway on a Fire Nation ship.

"Well we won't get anywhere if we don't walk," Sokka stated annoyed. He, in a sense, was right.

"Look the only way we're going anywhere is if two people are left here," Ulrich suggested.

"No," almost all of them yelled together.

"You have a better idea," Ulrich asked.

"I do," a voice pierced across them, "some of you come with me." They could now see who it was, Zuko.

That's all for now. . . no not really here's the rest.

"What are you doing here," Sokka yelled getting his boomerang ready.

"I came for a walk, what do you think I came for," Zuko yelled getting into position just in case Sokka threw his boomerang.

"You came for Aang," he said throwing his boomerang. It of course missed but it did tell Zuko that the news of Ozai's death hadn't spread.

"You don't know do ya," Zuko laughed amused at this. He decided that he could use a fight especially if he was going to win. Actually fighting this kid was more like target practice.

"Don't know what," Sokka asked backing down.

"Oh well I could always use a fight," Zuko said shooting flames mainly at Sokka. Ulrich jumped in the way getting hit by the flames instead. As soon as he fell to the ground he disappeared. "What the," Zuko gasped at the sight.

"Behind ya," Ulrich yelled hitting Zuko with the sword knocking him down. It didn't cut him because of the armor he was wearing. Zuko got up slowly shooting a fire blast at this one two only to see it evaporate as well.

"You're not that tough," Yumi declared picking him up with telekinesis.

"How are you doing that," Zuko yelled frantically while going nuts in the air trying to get down.

Odd pulled back his bow getting ready for a shot. Zuko smirked seeing as it had no arrows. "The batter comes in for the swing," Odd shot hitting Zuko back into a tree, "and it's a hit."

Zuko got up slowly exhausted from getting his butt kicked. "Enough," Jeremy said jumping down from the trees.

"Jeremy," Yumi, Odd, Ulrich, and Aelita gasped.

"This day just keeps on getting more interesting," Sokka moaned.

"I guess Vella was wrong," Yumi said happy Vella was wrong about Jeremy being in the future. That could have meant she was also wrong about him becoming X.A.N.A., though the others might ask questions about what she meant after all Yumi didn't tell them he would become X.A.N.A.. Fortunately none of them did.

"What do you mean enough," Ulrich asked, "he's the bad guy."

"Ya well between X.A.N.A. taking over the Fire Nation, Ozai getting killed, and me being hunted I decided to change sides," Zuko yelled.

"You're lying," Sokka yelled at him.

"Wrong, he's telling the truth," a voice said. We all looked over. There was Zhao and accompanying him was X.A.N.A. and almost one hundred Fire Nation soldiers.

"Crud," some of them gasped. They were sadly outnumbered.

This is the real end. . . really. Oh alright I'll show a preview to keep you happy.

"Come on we have to get out of here," Zuko yelled fending off the oncoming Zhao.

"Working on it," Ulrich yelled slicing one of X.A.N.A.'s tarantulas. The fight had been going so well to until X.A.N.A. popped them up. Ulrich prepared to slice another until a flying Jeremy sent them both to the ground. "Try not to get hit Jeremy," Ulrich said slowly getting up.

"Perhaps you'd like to switch," Jeremy asked.

"That depends who are you fighting," Ulrich answered with his own question. A huge ball of energy hurtled towards them knocking both of them back.

"Him," Jeremy answered pointing at X.A.N.A..

That will be in the next chapter. Goodbye for now.
