Lucky for you I have now given this story priority so long as the reviews keep coming. Also just as a marker there are only seven updates after this. Know as I had said before I only own Vella and the plot.


Now for the story you've been waiting for. Will's POV.

I had two options and both of them sucked. I could either come up with a lie and then he'd kill me later in a harsher manner. Or I could tell him what little of the truth I knew. I decided to go with being truthful because I'm far from the effective liar.

"Well, um you see they me be either dead or not here," I answered. Zuko gave me a death stare before I realized what I had done.

"No du there not here what do you think I meant by the question," Zuko screamed at me. "And what do you mean dead, and where the-," I held up my hand meaning for him to stop.

"Look I can't tell you what happened to your crew or uncle. However your scar was healed by Chronol magic," I answered. Zuko looked like he had no idea what I had said, which he probably didn't. I barely knew what I said.

"Chronol magic," Zuko asked.

"It's the most dangerous type of magic that even some necromancers refuse to use. It's kind a like a last resort thing, and I heard from my guardian that if you die right now, well then," I answered thinking about what Vella had said to me long ago. If our plan to either purify X.a.n.a. or terminate him fails Will, then the world as we know it will cease to exist.

To cease to exist. That was what had to happened to X.a.n.a. He had to cease to exist no matter what.

"Am I that important," Zuko asked.

"I don't know, I don't know much. I'm only five. If you want answers then you'll have to ask Vella."

"And Vella is where?"

"The Northern Water Tribes," I answered. "If we hurry we could make it there by the end of Spring."

"So be it," Zuko said agreeing. "I don't see any other choice." I could only help but think how well that had gone. Zuko didn't try to kill me, I never had to become a firebender, and we would soon arrive at the Northern Water Tribes. It would only take a good six months.

The forces are gathering and soon the face off will begin.

"Is it not a wise idea to not strike," Zhao said for the umpteenth time. I was getting sick of this, why did I have to choose him of all people. How did such a buffoon become an admiral I will never know.

"We're not attacking until I'm sure young William is there."

"I don't see what is so important about some kid," Zhao asked. I buckled not wanting to tell him that some kid was going to change the fate of history.

"The fact is I'm reigning supreme in the future and I don't want some stupid kid ruining it. William is the only thing that keeps me from winning. He is a nuisance from the future that must either join us or be terminated," X.A.N.A. said building a machine that he knew would be required if he were to succeed. A cryogenic chamber. He would then preserve Zhao's body with a small amount of his essence. Ten thousand years later an archeologist would awaken him. Unfortunately after that everything would just be a second guess. No one could know, except maybe Clockwork. And even then Clockwork was far to much of a pacifist to try anything.

"Is this kid really all that," Zhao asked.

"Yes, he's the son of my two greatest enemies. Destroying either of his parents would shatter his very existence because he hasn't been born yet," X.A.N.A. answered. Zhao gasped at what he had heard. "Yes amazing the brain freezes time has given me. Either way why waste energy fighting a fully trained adult when I could simply take out a weak child. Jeremy would make a nice addition but he's still my vessel from the past. He dies, I die. Then a paradox occurs and everyone dies."

Zhao was stunned by this. All that I had said was impossible for his time, or even my own time. Time was the key, however, that made this whole thing possible. Without time reality ends yet with it reality is at constant stake.

"You however will not die. You are to go into this machine that I build you," X.A.N.A. said to Zhao hoping that he wouldn't question. However with Zhao the word hope lost all meaning because he was hopeless. It was a good thing X.A.N.A. was a quick liar, and a good one.

"Why," Zhao asked.

"Because that way you will be able to enjoy the world after I rule," X.A.N.A. answered.

"Very well," Zhao said agreeing. So this was the advantage of working with an idiot.

"The machine is complete, you may enter," X.A.N.A. said waiting for the moment. Zhao didn't question and stepped in, while X.A.N.A. was sending a small amount of his essence with Zhao. The machine worked and Zhao, looking stiff in all his frozen glory, was the next vessel. And with Zhao he would soon no longer need a vessel.

"Ah yes," X.A.N.A. said forming hundreds of thousands of ships each marked with his symbol. "Time to die."

How Ironic. Six months later in the Northern Water Tribe.

Six months could just role by when you were learning things that you wanted to learn. Such as Odd learning how to shoot Sokka with his bow and then blaming it on Jeremy. It worked, however Jeremy wasn't to thrilled and his anger flared back up. It was the last time he did that, actually it was the last time anyone got on Jeremy's nerves. They knew when he wanted to be left alone when his eyes flashed blood red and his hair darkened.

"Very good, you seem to have all finally learned," Harimi said watching the three benders. Sokka just watched along with Odd.

"Man how do they do that," Odd asked. It was a question that had bothered him for awhile. There of coarse had been some other strange things that went on such as with Jeremy. As Harimi had put it, it was certain that Jeremy was half demon. However he had a demon in him and that demon was slowly controlling him, like a vessel. Like the earliest form of X.A.N.A. was doing.

"It's called magic," Sokka answered.

"Then what do ya call this stuff," Odd asked showing him the bow. Obviously he was talking about Ulrich and Yumi as well, who were both out in the village.

"I call that even weirder magic," Sokka responded. Odd couldn't help but agree, but heck you get used to it. They then saw Katara, Aang, and Aelita walk up to the hill that the two boys were on. "So how'd it go," Sokka asked.

"We are now no longer Harimi's students," Katara answered leaving out some information about there teacher.

"What happened, you get expelled," Odd laughed. Aelita decided that she would test some Earthbending that she learned. She first found a patch of dirt and by moving her hands the dirt lifted up and smacked Odd in the face. Katara did the same thing to Sokka.

"Hey," both of them cried. Slowly a ship began to dock onto the shore only known to them as Prince Zuko's ship. "But how," all of them asked.

With Yumi.

'Where is he' Yumi thought pacing back and forth waiting for Ulrich. He had finally decided to see if some kind of blacksmith could figure out what his sword was. Slowly a bird that was flying stopped as did the rest of the world. Two faint words could be heard. They were time out.

"Well hello there Yumi," a voice called from behind her. She turned around and saw what looked like an elderly ghost.

"Wh-who are you," she asked.

"Clockwork is my name. Vella has told me impressive things about you and from what I see she was right."

"Um, this is important how," Yumi asked now confused.

"I just wanted to make sure that you could keep watch over William. I see Vella was right," he said before disappearing in midair. Time began to start back up again.

"Yumi," Ulrich said holding his sword. "You look like you just saw a ghost."

"Not the best terms to use," she answered. "Then again you look like you just saw one too."

"I think I did, I saw Zuko's ship." Yumi gasped at what she heard.

"This day just keeps getting weirder."


Slowly the end will come. All life shall vanish by the evil one. And only the seven sages can seal him. Of bravery, knowledge, and compassion. So is the prophesy.

Remember to Review. And soon I'll finish this story.

Don't do it.

I thought I caught you. Um, gotta go.
