Disclaimer Yes it's true I don't own this.

How bout I cut the intro short and get right to the story.


The battle

"Well Zuko aren't you desperate asking your enemy for help," Zhao sneered laughing in Zuko's face. X.A.N.A. knew better. He had been here. He knew who would win the battle and it wasn't them. Well in a sense they did win because the cowards retreated.

"Zhao enough of your talk I require action," X.A.N.A. yelled instantly aiming his full attention on Jeremy gaining a cheap blow.

"Listen to the psycho, attack," Zuko yelled taking position against Zhao. He had waited along time to do this. He couldn't lose anything now, he had nothing left. Zhao saw Zuko positioning against him and attacked only to have Zuko counterattack.

"Let him have it Odd," Ulrich said as a few soldiers approached them.

"It would be my pleasure," Odd responded pulling back the string and firing a large ball of lightning. At the same time Aelita, Yumi, and Katara were fending off firebenders with there powers, trying to come up with a way to take X.A.N.A. down.

"These are mine," Katara called a bit unhappy that she hadn't taken out as many firebenders as Yumi. She water whipped them and they dropped injured. Sokka was still cowering not having the best weapon in the world. It was still obvious that the good guys were winning except in Jeremy's case. He was getting creamed both physically and mentally.

"Jeremy you can't deny it, you are me fate cannot be changed," X.A.N.A. smirked hitting him hard knocking him to the ground. "You may have each and every one of my powers, abilities, and enhancements but you are sadly lacking in practice."

"I'm not you," Jeremy screamed knocking X.A.N.A. away with a blast of energy.

Impossible only someone possessed by X.A.N.A. can do that.

Or X.A.N.A. can do that.

What do you mean.

You don't get it do you, where did X.A.N.A. come from hmm. No answer, well why is he smart. No answer again, face it Jeremy you and X.A.N.A. have more in common than you know.

Is it true, am I my own worst enemy.

"Not bad for an amateur but allow me to show you how a pro does it," X.A.N.A. yelled angrily with a tint of satisfaction. He blasted Jeremy hard into a tree with his own energy blast.

"You can't win," I weakly managed.

"What do you mean I can't win, you're weak and defenseless," X.A.N.A. replied confused.

"Look around you," Jeremy replied before trying to get up only to have X.A.N.A. shock him. He was right, the firebending troops were losers, and Zhao was an even bigger loser. How could X.A.N.A. forget that Zhao was such an idiot.

"Zhao you twit allow me to show you the correct way to fight," X.A.N.A. yelled out opening his mouth as digital data escaped into the sky. This grabbed every bodies attention. They had never seen anything like it, they couldn't help to look in amazement as the data escaped their view.

"Affective distraction but I fail to see how this helps," Zhao asked. Apparently the answer wasn't the only thing Zhao didn't see because he was hit point blank by a fire blast from prince Zuko.

"You fail to see anything," X.A.N.A. screamed as the data returned to Earth creating a giant dome. The dome wasn't the problem, it was what was coming out of the dome that was. Tarantulas, and lots of them. There number was likely in the hundreds.

"What are those," both Zhao and Zuko gasped. Zhao grabbed the opportunity and knocked Zuko back with a punch square in the jaw.

"Don't know but I like them already," Zhao said content at Zuko's collapse. As he prepared for the finishing blow Aang blocked the fire with his airbending. "The Avatar saves prince Zuko what a surprise," Zhao sneered at Aang his fingertips steaming.

"He's on are side now," Aang said blasting Zhao away.

"Prince Zuko, betray the Fire Nation, I'm shocked someone kill me," Zhao sarcastically laughed.

"That can be arranged Zhao," Zuko yelled angrily at him. He got up quickly sending flames at Zhao. "Avatar you do something else, Zhao's mine," Zuko yelled shooting more flames at Zhao only getting them no where.

"Alright then, aerial attack," Aang said getting his glider and propelling himself into the air. He managed to destroy some monsters but it wasn't enough there were to many.

Yumi and the other girls had managed to escape the main battle and began to prepare a winning strategy. "We have to fight monsters with monsters," Yumi said watching the others fight.

"Maybe a monster that we can bend like a monster made of stone," Aelita commented.

"I can't earthbend," Katara answered.

"How about mud," Yumi asked. There were no objections to her idea. "Mud it is then," Yumi said making it final.

"We'll need to get down to the river to get enough water," Katara stated. "Let's just hope they can keep them busy," she added as they headed to the river.

"Things were going a bit better for Jeremy now that he knew about his energy blast. His fight with X.A.N.A. had become a game of energy tag. "No Jeremy like this," X.A.N.A. said blasting him away.

"Grrr," Jeremy grunted shooting X.A.N.A. and forcing him backwards.

"See, there's that anger that I feed off of, so let's work on anger control. Lesson one choose a punching bag," X.A.N.A. yelled rapidly punching Jeremy.

Things hadn't been going to well for the others either. Zuko, Odd and Ulrich got backed into one another.

"Were outnumbered," Zuko pointed out. It was obvious, it was nine versus nine thousand.

"Lets see if I can't fix that, Triplicate," Ulrich yelled splitting himself into three.

"Were still outnumbered," Zuko responded to this near pointless action. Zhao nearly hit Zuko badly until one of the Ulrichs took the hit for him. "Maybe that wasn't so pointless after all," Zuko said moving in on Zhao. The second Ulrich clone took out a tarantula before getting hit and vanishing.

"This place is worse than sector five," Odd complained shooting his bow as fast as he could.

"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.. Ulrich looked in awe as X.A.N.A. was about to finish them.

"Behold the last thing that you shall ever see," X.A.N.A. mocked charging up for his trademark crushing blow. He never got the chance as a giant mud monster with a white aura thrashed him. "How did I forget that," X.A.N.A. yelled angrily as the beast attacked the dome. As soon as the dome fell all of the monsters vanished.

"How did that happen," Odd said coming over to Ulrich and Jeremy. Zuko came as well.

"I don't know but I think we should get out of here before X.A.N.A. recovers," Zuko said already having a good idea how the beast was made.

"We'd love to but how," Odd asked.

"I have a ship," Zuko growled at him.

"Works for us," Ulrich stated as they followed Zuko to his ship. Things were going the same way with the others.

"What about the others," Aang asked.

"I saw them walk off with Zuko, probably going back to his ship," Sokka replied.

"Is the reason you saw that because you weren't fighting," Katara mocked. Sokka was about to reply when Aelita interrupted.

"I think we should go, I don't want to fight X.A.N.A. again."

"Alright then, next stop, North Pole," Aang yelled as Appa took off.

Back on Zuko's ship

"Prince Zuko, you are back, just in time for music night and I see you have brought guests," Iroh enthusiastically stated.

"Did Zhao come through here," Zuko asked.

"No he landed on the other side of the island." Fortunately Zhao's ship had already left. "Now about music night," Iroh asked again.

"I'm just going to lay down," Zuko said walking toward his room as Lt. Ji walked by. Zuko didn't suspect a thing. Not a single thing, X.A.N.A. thought to himself from inside Iroh's body.


This is officially my most evil cliffhangers. Sorry my psychic powers aren't getting a preview but I will tell you another fight is coming soon. Remember to review cause this fiction is now at the half way point.
