DISCLAIMER: DO YOU HONESTLY THINK i OWN IT? THERE'S STILL 21 DAYS UNTIL X-MAS! AND EVEN IF I DID, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
CONGRATS TO:
ME! MWAHAHAHAH! I OUTSMARTED YOU PUNY MORTALS! THE ANSWER WAS THE MATCH...
Katara, Yue, and Zula sprinted to the Water lord and by the time they got there, they were panting like mad.
"My lord, is there not someway we can stop this. Water Benders?" Katara asked as soon as she got her breath back. The Lord regarded her solemnly.
"I'm afraid not, Lady Katara. We shipped every strong one to the Southern Pole this morning to raise the walls of your palace. I am heartened to see your arrival though, in my eyes, you are like a daughter to me." Surprising everyone, the Lord gathered Katara and Yue in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Though they were in the heart of the city, the furious winds fingers would allow no one room to escape it's wrathful grasp.
Katara's face hardened in decision. Prying herself from her lord's arms, she walked calmly to the high tower, in the very center of the great palace. Many tried to stop her, but seeing her eyes firm with determination, knew that it would be a futile battle. Once getting to her destination, Katara froze her legs in position and then fluidly raised her arms. The winds shrieked in rage, seeing her as a powerful individual who could protect the citizens; its target. Katara hesitated, her tunic beginning to rip off. She heard the distant cry of an infant and searched the winds. There, on the point of the tower in front of her was a child no more than two. Howling in rage, Katara thrust her hand out, forcing every ounce of concentration and energy on creating a giant dome of ice to shield the city.
Slowly, ever so slowly, walls as thick as twenty feet rose gracefully up to meet directly above her. The yowls of the blizzard became far-away, muffled by the dome. The wind ceased whipping as the Water citizens walked out of their shelter and stared around in awe. A single cheer broke loose and wafted up to Katara's deaf ears. With the last of her energy, she created a bridge from her to the infant, crawling feebly across, she gripped the baby in her arms and then slowly, the edges of her vision turned black and the last sensation she felt was falling. Somewhere, far-off, someone screamed.
"Katara!" the trio of men shouted as they watched her plummet to the ground. They stood there helplessly until Zuko got an idea. Sprinting faster than the winds that were defeated, Zuko melted any wall in front of him easily. Soon, though he had to overcome the obstacle of human walls. He felt another presence next to him and risked a glance; there, working along side of him to reach the same objective, was his half-sister, Zula.
Yue watched hopefully as Zula and Zuko raced to Katara, who was dangerously close to the ground. Any second now…..Yue shut her eyes just as Katara collided.
"KATARA!" Sokka screamed, he too closed his eyes, unable to bare the sight of his sister dying. He felt his heart break, his breath leave him as he heard a thud. "No…" he whispered brokenly. "NO!" He screamed. He tore at the ice wall in front of him until his fingers were bleeding, one nail ripped off. But Sokka felt no pain, for he just lost his salvation.
YEP, 'NOTHER SHORT ONE!
