Okay, first thing's first……
I AM TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLY SORRY FOR THE TOTALLY LATE UPDATE! I AM INDESCRIBABLY BUSY AND IT SLIPPED MY MIND!
Ahem,……well………now that that's over with, to make up for my stupidity, I'm going to go straight to the chapter( Don't worry my fellow random lovers, 30 seconds of randomness will be at the end)
Chapter 3
Appa moaned in pain as he forced himself to turn, following the urgent commands of the young boy sitting on his back. The girl and boy scurried around his saddle, using wet blankets to pat out the fires appearing on his sides, and shouting warnings of oncoming missiles.
Normally, the bison could have avoided the burning tar balls with ease, but weariness and hunger had weakened him considerably.
Far below, on the metal hull of the ship, sharp consistent orders rang harsh through the air, in the strange language of the people both below and upon him
A panicked fear constricted in the animals chest, and his breathes came in short hard gasps. Fear. It filled his senses, overwhelming his mind, his ears. He could not hear his master's command. He took the hit full on in the stomach.
Screams of despair, and terror rent the air, a harmony falling upon the ears in a minor chord, lost too the world beyond the sea.
From the bow of his ship, Zuko stood, glaring triumphantly up at the evasive monster dodging limply overhead. "FIRE!"
Another barrage of air-born missiles soared through the air as several men scurried to reset the catapults.
Zuko stared in slight surprise as the beast hung still in the air. In less time then Zuko could possibly put together a cohesive thought, the bison had begun to fall.
Realization struck hard as the white ball of fluffy, wuffy, cutey wutey goodness…(an: uh, sorry?) I mean, as the large beast plummeted at a terrifying speed.
Straight for his ship…………….
Wow. I'm kinda disappointed in this chapter. I really didn't get the level of emotion and fear I wanted to incorporate in this chapter. But I suppose that it will have to do. Well, read and review, and now the following is just my little bonus for peoples.
Mysterious, oddly familiar, disembodied voice: AND now,for our feature presentation, created by WindBEnder, in association with the strange, yet humorous General Iroh, and the unwilling support of Prince Zuko, in the following performance that-
Zuko: Wait, hold on….
Mysterious voice takes on normal tone, obviously is WB: HEY! What did ya stop me for? I was on a role there. I was totally in too it.
Zuko: Quick question. Does this story involve anyone receiving any bodily or emotional harm, whether implied or obvious, no matter how severe or mild?
WB: Well, DUH! How else would people find it funny. Gosh. You humans are so dumb sometimes.
Zuko: HAHAHAHAHA I've got you now!Wait until I call my lawyer, he's gonna eat you alive in court- wait. Did you just say "you humans." As in, not including you?
WB: Well, once again, DUH! You think some humanoid could come up with this stupid crap? Humans really are weird. No wonder nobody ever talks to you guys.
Zuko: What? Are you saying that there are millions of alien races out there, and none of them talk to us because they think we're stupid? After all our years of argueing over whether they exist and sending messages into space, you're going to tell me we could have just told you to call the mother ship.
WB: ponders a moment Yep, that's pretty much it.
Zuko: twitches Well, then call the mother-ship. NOW.
Wb: ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, NO NEED TO GET ALL HUFFY ABOUT IT Mr. Grumpy Pants. Sheesh trys to call mother-ship DANG IT!
Zuko: What's wrong?
WB: MY mental phone gets terrible reception, Cingular always had crappy service (AN: I do not own cingular)
Zuko: Oh………
Iroh, who has appeared out of nowhere: Pity.
