Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Did you just see the Avatar Season Finale? What a piece of art! It was so awesome! Did you see Zula (I think that's her name)? Next to Katara, she is probably going to be my favorite character in the series. She looks so evil and sadistic! What a great season! They better start on Book 2: Earth like right now! I'm so damn excited. Sorry, I'm in psychotic mode. Anyways, the last episode was so awesome that I decided to add this next chapter. Enjoy. I'm going to watch the finale again on Nick West. OMG! I LOVE IT!
A Broken Family
Hanji and the pirates started to slowly close in on Katara and Nami as they backed up. Both girls stopped when they reached the edge of the cliff. All that stood between them and death was a watery grave. Katara couldn't understand what was going on. This is Nami's crew! she thought. Why were they doing this?
"Nami, you aren't going anywhere," Hanji said with a smile. "The only place you are going is to the chopping block in the Fire Lord's quart. It will be a lot easier if you just give yourself up." Katara looked at Nami. Her eyes were full of fire. She didn't know why her own crew would betray her either.
"Hanji, what do you think you are doing?" Nami asked. Hanji didn't say a word. "Explain yourself, all of you! Why are you pointing your swords at me?"
"Don't you know, Nami?" Hanji asked. "It's all your fault. You brought this on yourself."
"What do you mean by that? I thought I was a good captain. I shared all my treasure with you. I've been nothing but loyal to you, even before my father died. You are all like family to me."
"Family?" Hanji asked as he raised his hand. "Would family do this? How do we know that you won't do the same to everyone? How do we know you won't turn us into the Fire Nation?" Nami looked at them in surprise.
"I would never do that," Nami yelled. "I would rather die than betray you."
"And you will die, Nami. We won't let you get away with treason." Katara knew that this was no good. Nami couldn't persuade her pirates. They had started a mutiny, and there was nothing Nami could do to stop it. That didn't mean Nami would give up without a fight. She drew her sword, which immediately ignited with blue flames. This only made Hanji smile with delight. "See? She won't step down, just like her father."
"What?" Katara asked. "What do you mean when you say that?"
"Let me explain. All that Captain Blue Blade wanted to do was protect the peasants of the Fire Nation and help protect his country. He was a traitor working for the firebenders. He was a fool."
"What are you saying?" Nami asked. "My father was honorable. He protected you when Ozai asked for the names of his crew members." Hanji laughed again.
"Don't you get it? We wanted to go onto bigger things. We wanted to take over the Earth Kingdom, but he wouldn't call for 'senseless murders'."
"Are you kidding? Is that what you want?" Nami couldn't believe she had to ask these questions. "You don't stand a chance against the Earth Kingdom. There are too many of them. They would've crushed you."
"Not with these," Hanji said as he held up his gun. "Of course, we could never touch the earthbenders before, but with these weapons, we will bring the Earth Kingdom to their knees. Then Ozai will see we are worthy for his time." Hanji then pointed his gun at Nami. "Now all we have to do is get rid of you. You are our only obstacle, and we can get a pretty penny for your capture, Nami, just like we did with your father." Nami's and Katara's eyes grew in shock.
"What are you saying?" Katara asked. "Don't tell me you…you betrayed your own captain to the Fire Nation."
"Yes, we gave that fool up to Commander Zhao after striking a deal. We set it all up so it looked like he captured the world's greatest pirate. After we get rid of you, we can become the greatest pirates in the world. We won't be Blue Blade's pirates. We will be the pirates of Blue Mist Island." Nami was now shaking in anger.
"You…betrayed my father," she growled as she readied herself to attack. "You don't deserve to be pirates. Pirates are family. They are loyal to each other no matter what happens. They never betray each other. They don't abandon each other. You don't even deserve to live." Hanji and the crew started to shake at her anger. They could feel the flames on their faces, but Hanji had a plan.
"What about you, Nami? You aren't sailing the seas just to raid ships. You are looking for that exiled prince of fire. You are no different from us." Katara looked from the pirates to Nami's eyes. They were now filled with sadness, as if she were about to cry. Hanji decided to take charge of the situation. "If you don't put your sword down, I'll kill the girl." He swung his gun and aimed it at Katara. Nami finally looked up in fear.
"No, don't hurt her!" It was too late. Hanji had fired his gun, but it hit the wrong target. Nami had jumped in front of the bullet and had taken it in the left shoulder. Katara ran to the pirate's side as she fell to the ground. The wound wasn't too bad since the bullet went through, just missing Katara's neck. As Katara helped Nami up, Hanji pointed his gun again.
"Well, Nami? Are you going to drop your sword, or will I have to unload my gun on the waterbender? This time I won't miss." Nami knew when she was beat. She stood up and starred at Hanji as she placed her sword in its sheath.
"I'll do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt Katara." The pirates smiled as Nami threw her sword down at there feet, but Katara tried to stop her.
"Nami, you can't give up. Think about your father. He wouldn't want you to do this."
"I'm sorry, Katara. I can't do it anymore. My crew has abandoned me. I can't fight them all. At least this way you will get away. You'll be able to be with the Avatar, and you can tell him how you feel." Katara continued to argue with her.
"What about Zuko? Don't you want to tell him how you feel?" Nami turned around this time to look at Katara. Her eyes were full of tears. Katara knew she couldn't persuade the pirate. Nami had no hope left. She would never get to tell the man that she loved how she felt about him.
The pirates quickly grabbed Nami and bond her hand behind her back as tight as they could. When they were sure she couldn't get away, Hanji turned his gun at Katara again. He shot right in front of her, causing the waterbender to fall backwards into the waterfall.
"Katara! No! What are you doing?" Nami yelled. "You said you wouldn't hurt her." Hanji turned to Nami with a smile of satisfaction.
"Don't worry. The fall will kill her. She won't feel any pain. I can guarantee that." Nami started crying when he said those words. How could he be so cruel? He walked up to her and lifted her chin up. "You were always too trusting, just like your mother. We aren't going to kill you right away. We are going to have lots of fun before we give you up to Zhao." All the pirates laughed as they dragged Nami back to the village.
I thought I would give you another chapter, especially after I saw the Season Finale.This story isn't going to be too long. It's more of an introductory to my next two stories about Nami. So stick around and please be patient. Cya.
