More news.

Number 1 Zuko is coming back and serves a huge role in chapter nine. I know chapter nine has long passed but I go by the individual names such as Truth and Lies part I and part II is one chapter.

Number 2 Vella's back with a new friend, well not new but you'll see. If you're smart you may find out what she is. If not you'll have to wait.

Number 3 Um I ran out of news. Wait I don't own anything but the plot and Vella, so what's new. Enjoy the story.

Lets get interesting. Vella POV.

I stood staring at the spirit they call Clockwork. Time could be so annoying cause technically we already had a son so to speak, only we went into the past. It can give major brain strain to anyone other than Clockwork who dared to understand it. Only X.A.N.A. had come close and even then he was cut short. Time should be left to its father.

"So what have you figured out," I asked him. Being semi all knowing he should know.

"Nothing, X.A.N.A. has shielded his past from me." I shifted back in my position.

"And the future," I asked annoyed.

"Is best not to be tampered with even if it's me. Just because X.A.N.A. is reckless doesn't mean we should be." He could get so annoying. He treated me like an inferior just because his toy was older than mine.

"So what. Does that mean you don't know."

"No, it means that we shouldn't dig a deeper hole. You know as well as I do that this period of time is very fragile."

"Twenty thousand years, hello that's older than either of us," I yelled out raising my arms. Clockwork flinched a bit. "Alright so you had vacations in the future, so have I. Still we're not that old," I said. Then I realized what he meant. Awhile back he specialized his own, just for him return to the past machine. Only he could remember what happened. When he developed that both me and X.A.N.A. had been furious.

"Sorry."

"How long did you go," I asked hoping it wasn't too long.

"Twenty thousand years into the future."

"And," I asked nervously.

"It could use some improvements." I grumbled. CW had always been like this. You have to have perfection, then again when it comes to time the slightest error means the end of the world.

"Fine. Still it's not how deep the hole is it's how high you bounce when you reach the bottom," I happily chanted. Clockwork sighed admitting defeat.

"Alright, I know of five of the prophesied," he answered.

"And they are," I frantically asked getting up.

"I'm sorry but I'm prohibited to tell, the observants would kill me."

"What, with their boring monologue. Please the Box Ghost is more of a threat." I moved away from him before finishing my speech. "You're afraid aren't you. You're not afraid of a person, demon, or spirit. You're afraid of your own toy time, you fear what others could do to it."

"Look what the Fire Nation did to the environment. They destroyed it like it were a toy. When ecosystems break they rebuild and people can adapt. When time is destroyed it doesn't rebuild and people can't adapt so yes I am very afraid of what X.A.N.A. or even some lesser evils could do to it," Clockwork said. He sighed knowing what was next. I always gained some ground from these chats. "William is one of the seven," he sighed.

"Not surprising, if he gained-,"

"-Yes he gained both of our powers," Clockwork finished for me. "Here Will is gonna need this," he stated before giving me a time orb. It alone could reset anyone's life by a day.

"Why does Will need this," I asked confused.

"Because Zuko's dead." I gasped at his statement. That wasn't supposed to happen. "He'll also need your white orb."

"Alright then it looks like I have a full agenda," I said slowly leaving his sector outside of time. He nodded in agreement. He couldn't help but think to himself. It's best if she doesn't know about halfas yet.

For everyone who watches Danny Phantom that Clockwork is the same. Also the sequel is a crossover with Danny Phantom so be happy. Now let's get back to Aang and the others.

"This is not good." The jets shot some of their missiles at the ship but Jeremy shattered them with his intense power. Actually it was impossible to tell he was Jeremy as he looked even less human than X.A.N.A. did. He had black wings and piercing, angry black eyes. He looked like a demon.

"For X.A.N.A. it is," Jeremy yelled flying up and slicing his demonic claws strait through the jet. Jeremy though now not in control of himself growled at more jets crushing them with his power. Back at the ship X.A.N.A. had arrived.

"I don't understand," Zhao asked, "isn't anger supposed to weaken your abilities."

"For the other three magics yes, however because shadow magic is fueled by evil emotions they grow stronger with hate," X.A.N.A. answered gazing at the enraged Jeremy as he lifted up a nearby aircraft carrier effortlessly. "And judging by how angry he is I advice we leave but first," X.A.N.A. said blasting a whole in the ship causing it to begin sinking. "Now we leave," X.A.N.A. said creating a black dome on the ship. Jeremy saw this and blasted the ship with a huge shadow blast destroying the whole ship. Unbeknownst to Jeremy, X.A.N.A. and Zhao managed to escape. Jeremy looked at the ship with rage before darting of towards the north.

Back on the ship things could be going better. "We're sinking," Odd stated.

"Really what pointed that out," Yumi answered seeing the situation as hopeless. "Besides we could all fit on Appa. Katara heard them trying to get all the water out.

"Good idea," Katara said.

"I think so too," Aelita added.

"Look I'm sorry but Appa can't carry more than seven people," Aang declared.

"Well then good cause I count seven," Ulrich said answering their problems.

"What about Zuko," Sokka yelled out to Ulrich.

"Dead," he answered.

"Iroh."

"Dead."

"The crew,"

"Under X.A.N.A.'s control."

"Alright then everyone on," Sokka yelled happily that their situation wasn't hopeless. They all got on as Appa sped away. They were heading to the North Pole.

A lot happens in the next chapter. Zuko comes back, someone named Harimi trains the benders, and Zhao slaps X.A.N.A. and nearly gets killed. Also there are many links that you simpletons may not be able to find. I'll help, there's two major links in this chapter. Also please review more.
