Chapter 4

Unholy virus

Prince Zuko's ship on the deck...

"It's a wonderful day today, isn't it Prince Zuko?"

"You mean to hunt the avatar? Then yes." sighing Iroh walks off.

"Hey, THE AVATAR! Oh crap..."Zuko see's Nate looking back at him through his own telescope. He then see's Nate dissapear into the saddle, then Appa turns around.

"Oh my-" Zuko runs of to get several soldiers.
They gather on deck as they watch Appa gt closer by the second.
When close enough they see Nate jump down from Appa.

"I'm back..."

"ATTACK!" As the soldiers charge forward Nate's eye white's once again go green, his muscles strengthen he gets his talons, but now, his spine bends forward so he is forced to stand on all fours, another eye appears above both of his normal eyes. His teeth grow sharp and spear like.
He then just sits and waits for the first soldier to come into range. The first soldier attacks with a blast of fire, Nate dodges to the right and pounces on the soldier and digs his teeth into the soldiers neck.
He gets of and goes onto the next soldier. But the first bitten soldier begins to transform into a creature like Nate. He continues on to more soldiers until he reaches Zuko. Zuko shoots a fireball but nate dodges it and pounces, zuko dives and nearly escapes.
Nate does a 180 and charges foward, grabing zuko and sinks his teeth deep into Zuko's chest, blood splattering all over his face and injecting the unholy virus... Zuko collapses and starts transforming.

Nate starts talking in a low demonic voice "Prince Zuko... You are now corrupted with this unholy virus, use your abilities well. But failure is not an option, your death would be a waste of my time, and a tradgedy for your kind."

"Foolish human..."Nate backs off then Appa swoops down and picks him up.

In the air...

Katara, remembering what she read the night before, did the unthinkable; she walked over to Nate, sat in his lap and quickly fell asleep. Nate on the other hand just stares at her for a few minutes trying to process what just happend. Sokka and Aang are just siting there struggling to hold in their laughter. Nate smiles and strokes her hair and puts his chin on her head and slowly enters the state of sleep.

The next morning...

A pair of eyes slowly come out of rest... His vision blurred by the rush of light into his eyes, as he starts to wake up, his mind grows clearer of last night's events. He realizes what the soft object his chin is resting on is. He smiles and strokes her hair once more. Groaning she comes out of sleep."Did you have to wake me?"grinning nate starts to massage katara's shoulders "Yep, you can't sleep all day."

On prince Zukos ship...

"GRRRRROOOOAAAARRRR!"A demonic roar echos through the metal corridors. In the infirary a creature rips through the gaurds around it, General Iroh watches in horror as his attemps at trying to stop this beast fail patheticly. After reducing the guards to a bloody mass of corpses it's unholy eyes turn to Iroh. Taking this as a signal to run he srpints as fast as possible out to the main deck where the creature follows with inhuman speed. "Prince Zuko, please, stop! you don't know what your doing! I know you can hear me in there!" The creatures pace slows down a bit. "Yeah, that's it, it's me Zuko, Iroh!"

The creature comes to a stop, and just sit's there. It morphs back into the Zuko we all know and love.

"I'm sorry uncle..."Zuko forces of of his mouth.

"It's not your fault, you couldn't control yourself."

Back up in the air...

"I wonder how zukos doing, afterall, I did infect him."

"You did?" Aang asks n astonishment.

"Don't be surprised. He's not the first."

"Your scary."

"yes I am. You know, I wonder what it would be like here if that weapon exploded upon here." And as soon as he said that, a orange/red portal opened up and a large tan capsule with a biohazerd sigh in arabian pops out and heads for the ground.

"Oh no... AANG HURRY! CATCH THAT CAPSULE DOWN THERE!"

ooooh a cliffhanger!
