Summary: A continuation on chapter 5, I had to go before I could finish, and it would have been too long. Kyoshi warriors; friend or FO in my twisted Fan.Fic? Can the avatar persuade them to believe that he is the avatar? Will Via be rescued? Starts off in Via's place since the avatar just entered a pickle and it's officially the other pov's turn.

Book: 1 Chapter: 6 Things Change Part Two

The nightmare was horrible; her father was ruling the world and she sat dead beside the avatar and other people's bodies. Htaed was oozing towards her father and there was a flash of light and he disappeared. That was when she woke up. She looked around knowing that something had traversed through her nightmare. There was nothing there, but she noticed the door pop open a bit and then fully open.

It was Jet and a few guards. The other girl was not with him. Htaed! Your creature didn't come through fast enough! I'm done for! He did come through, he's just busy. What could be more important then rescuing the person you're using to kill the avatar… She was cut off in her thinking as Jet said, "The time for your execution has come!" She looked up with horror. Come on Htaed get your guy over here. He is coming; he's only about five minutes away. I don't know if I have five minutes. Be patient.

The lock binding her to the chair was undone and she was flung forward from the force of her struggling. She was picked up quickly and once again couldn't bend. She was dragged toward an open area with an archer with jade tipped arrows sitting there. There was a chair with a target in the middle and she was slammed into it, her bindings made to contemplate with it. It may have been a minute but she had no idea. Htaed how long has it been since you said five minutes? Abouttwo minutes. She gasped. I'm not going to make it, after all this trouble!

There was a sudden boom and…

(A/N/yawn oh back to the story.)

Meanwhile on an island filled with Kyoshi warriors…

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" One of the face painted warriors asked. It took a moment for the avatar to realize what was going on but he soon replied.

"I am the avatar." Aang said.

Two of the warriors looked at each other and laughed lightly before saying, "Prove it, stranger." Aang remembered the death at the southern air temple and an idea formed. He jumped into the air and used air bending to float.

"That doesn't prove anything! You could just be an air bender." The warriors stood firm as Aang gaped.

"But I am the avatar!" Aang said. Katara and Sokka nodded in agreement.

"You can't prove it with air bending; any air bender can do that." Another warrior said.

"But the air benders at the southern air temple are all gone, and I've heard it's the same case scenario with the northern one."

"Well we don't know if that's true, do we?" said the same warrior that had spoken earlier. The one next to her whispered something in their ear and the warrior nodded. Suddenly four warriors jumped onto Appa and tied up Aang and gang (A/N: Wow that rhymes.)

"Please believe me." Aang tried.

"Not a chance of that. You could be a firenation spy."

"You're almost as paranoid as Sokka!" Katara said. Sokka glared at her.

Aang shrugged, "Well I tried, but they just won't believe me!" Aang said frustrated.

A figure stepped out from the darkness and said, "You may or may not be a firenation spy, but you've managed to have a firenation ship come here."

"Yeah, no duh, they're trying to catch the avatar." Sokka said.

The old man who had come out from the darkness didn't say anything, but a few warriors gathered around and whispered menacing suggestions to him. Another warrior stepped up and loudly stated, "The Firenation ship has sent a squad out to the island. I don't know why, why break a sweat against us Kyoshi warriors. I mean we're peaceful and…" The old man held up a hand.

"We must prepare defenses, but try to obtain a peaceful outcome; otherwise this island may be destroyed."

"Hey we can help!" Aang said. Everyone's attention turned to him.

Then the man answered…

Meanwhile elsewhere…

Via looked as one of the menacing jade arrows was fired and hit a target behind her that exploded. She gulped; when the explosion cleared the arrow was dead in the center of the small red target. The archer nodded and pulled out another arrow. He strung the bow back just as shouts rang across the tree house like place. Htaed! How long has it been! Four minutes. Still not long enough for your creature to get over here.

A few of the kids and teenagers dashed to the source of the noise. Suddenly two horrific people that she hoped she would never see again crossed the corner and headed towards her. Htaed, I'm going to assume that these aren't your creatures. No there not. How long has it been, five minutes yet? No, and anyway I said about five minutes away. One of the kids approached them and said, "Who are you? You don't have permission to be here!" Her father desiccated him with a flare of white fire. Tom then flung fire rapidly in every direction toppling over everyone in the area. Most were dead, though a few were still standing up in a fighting stance. These included Jet and Krystal. You know I think I'll root for the people that were getting ready to execute me any day compared to Tom and Father.

It has been five minutes, but I would expect another few before the creature arrives. Great…Just Great… Her father towered over the remaining, almost causing them to back off with just a glance. Tom flung blue waves in all directions, but the ones left standing were obviously skilled enough to dodge. Via writhed against her bindings perceiving her death by her family's hands'. She noticed one of the figures on the ground get up and pull out a jade crested arrow. He set it in a bow and pointed it at her. It was the archer from earlier. Htaed, I don't think he will miss. Well I cannot do anything until my servant arrives. Figures. He let lose the arrow. Via closed her eyes and…

Elsewhere, on the Island of Kyoshi warriors…

"Uncle you stay here and guard the ship incase they try to ambush." Zuko said while saddling his beast. The soldiers behind him followed in suit. Zuko turned to yell instructions, "Find the avatar and capture him! As soon as you do, head back to ship. We want this to be a silent operation." A series of nods flew among the crowd and Zuko whipped his beast into "Full throttle."

Back to the horrific scene in the forest…

She felt the impact in her shoulder rather then her head. It was still immensely painful but it had cut through her bindings. She struggled a bit more and came free at the hands. She quickly plucked at the arrow until it came lose leaving her gasping. My servant has found the way up this tree house and will be here momentarily. Well I have some unfinished business to attend too. The rebels were noticing she was free and felt surrounded. This all changed when darkness fell over her brother Tom and her father. Some of them were too surprised to move.

It vanished shortly but Via was ready. She charged her brother flinging shadowy blue fire at him. He managed to block it all but was off balance so Via let electrical energy seep from her fingers and hit him another time. Her father turned to face her. Blinding light hit her and she was flung back blinded temporarily. Tom was on her in seconds. She pushed him off. "What's the matter Tom, can't outwrestle a girl?" He kicked her and she fell to the ground only to be burnt by his flame filled anger. Blood speckled the ground around her shoulder and she realized it was actually an extremely bad wound. He's here. A shadow jumped down from above. It's about time. She felt the odd sensation of another one of Htaed's teleports and reappeared in a dimly lit room. At second glance she noticed it was full of medical supplies. How appropriate, she thought. Then she cried out as she felt a familiar pain sensation as something was put on her hands. She knew that the gauntlets were there. She peeled them off and noticed the familiar scars engulfing her hands then blackness splayed her eyes.

Rise my servant! Htaed cried out in her mind and Via's body got up, but Via's purity and soul remained there. Htaed had taken her body! (A/N: Gasp, didn't see that coming por favor? Muwahhhaaha. Important note: now Via will be noted as Htaed, because he stole her body or something like that yatta yatta yatta) Htaed rose and his new figure vanished and reappeared on an island known as Kyoshi island…

Back to the avatar and friends…

It had been a no. The warriors had assembled a strict defense on the other side of town and Aang was working on getting out of the bindings trapping them while muttering to himself, "If I use an air kick to the left I can get us out… wait maybe to the right, the left will make the wood fall over." They were bound to a large piece of wood jutting out from the ground.

Suddenly a girl shimmered in front of him then appeared. She had blood stained gauntlets and a wounded shoulder. The weird thing is there were no pupils in her eyes. Her blonde hair was blood stained and there were other wounds, gashes, and spots from where she was burnt all over her arms and legs. She smiled, an evil smile that made Aang cringe. "Avatar… You can be used to increase my power a trifle bit." Her voice was not womanly and contained a hoarse demanding aura. (A/N: Htaed's voice) She disappeared and reappeared beside Katara and Sokka.

She held up her hands and two swords with hooks appeared there. She slowly pulled one into her other hand and put them at Katara and Sokka's necks'. "Come on avatar, you know the only way to save them is to go into avatar mode."

"I do?" Aang said horrifically puzzled. Her weapons edged closer and one nicked Sokka on the neck. He winced.

Aang's eyes began to glow blue and his facial expression changed from fear to concentration. "Good, avatar!" Htaed said. Suddenly Aang broke the bindings with a whip of water and faced Htaed. Katara and Sokka lunged at Via's body too but Htaed turned around and lashed them with the butts of the hooked swords. He then dropped those and flung a shimmering white fire out at the avatar with all the strength of his prerequisites Aang, in avatar mode, just barley managed to block it. Blood ran from Htaed's hands and went through the avatars shield of water. (A/N: Htaed is something of a demon. If you look closely his name is death backwards and is close to the word "Hated". Pretty Snazzy) The blood made a line across the Aang's shirt and that part of it disintegrated. The avatar paused for a second to heal the wound with water and then stepped on the ground while breathing fire. A stalagmite erupted from the ground under Htaed. He jumped back and blocked the avatars fire breath with a snap of his fingers.

Some warriors of Kyoshi were gathering now and watching stunned beside Katara and Sokka. A few of them muttered apologies to no one in particular. Another couple of them were watching the fight closely, looking for a loop hole for which they could jump into the fray. Htaed whipped out a long line of white fire that nearly hit Aang. It was countered with an air bending punch, firebending breath; earthbending kick and waterbending whip that sprouted from beside the avatars other less occupied hand. Htaed whipped out a combination of blood, fire, shadow, light, darkness, and lightning. When the two clashed an explosion so immense occurred that it caused an earth quake from below. Aang kicked some air up and threw some fire into it as it spun into a vortex that hit Htaed catching him up in the vortex and burning him.

Had Htaed been able to feel pain he would of screamed but instead he flung a shadow down the vortex that halted it completely. It was then that the warriors of Kyoshi jumped in and caught Htaed and tied him up. This was when most of them noticed Via's eyes (A/N: incase your confused, Htaed possessed Via so he has her body pretty much; long story short) which had no pupil. Htaed smiled, "You cannot keep me." The ropes around him cindered and he looked back at the avatar. The avatar's eyes returned to normal and Htaed walked past him without so much as a second glance. "Avatar, we will meet again, and next time you won't be so lucky." That was when things for Htaed went wrong. His eyes flickered and Via took over control. "Get… out… of me!" A visible wisp of white light fell out of Via and her pupils in her eyes returned, there greenish blue shining peacefully. Via's form collapsed and fell into an unconscious sleep.

Sokka looked over there puzzled and ran over there with Katara. "Don't move, prisoner!"

Aang got up and looked around his eyes flickering. "What happened?" Sokka blinked.

"What'd you mean what happened? We just kicked her a…" Katara gave him a look, "Butt!"

"I don't remember a thing." Aang said wearily. "Anyway she doesn't look very deadly, now at least." The girls head lifted and she looked around and got up.

"Where am I?" Then her eyes narrowed as she saw Aang, and then she looked fearfully at her gloved hands. All out of nowhere she charged Aang. Aang waited till the last second then side stepped and shot a wave of wind from his hands. The girl toppled over and barely managed to pick herself up and seemed to listen to something. The pupils left her eyes and she vanished into thin air.

"That was just a bit strange," Aang pronounced. Then more questioningly he asked, "And why am I so tired?"

Everyone looked at him and then Sokka replied, "You don't remember kicking her sorry butt do you?" Aang shook his head. "You were creaming her using all four elements too! Why do we need to go to the northern water tribe if you're already a master?"

"But I don't know the other elements…" He was cut off as the situation got worse.

The Firebender from earlier entered the village riding a strange beast. He led at least a dozen other firebenders into the scene along with another two dozen on the ground walking in tight form.

"Men, get the avatar!" The firebender ordered. There were a few 'yes, Prince Zuko's' so Aang assumed he had just learned his name.

Prince Zuko charged him flailing fire left and right. Aang dodged until he found an opening then timed an air bending kick that launched Zuko off his mount. Zuko retaliated with a fire bending kick that nearly hit Aang dead on, but instead just grazed his shoulder. Aang still winced but managed to swirl into an air bending somersault that caught Zuko off guard and shoved him into another fire bender. The Kyoshi warriors were in action too, they must have believed me finally! I wonder why. His thoughts were cut off as another firebender jumped in to help Zuko. Sokka and Katara stepped in to help and the answer was another four firebenders coming into the battle. Sokka threw his boomerang which missed by a mile a firebender on the left and came back and hit the one on the right in the head. Sokka jumped up and caught it. Katara used a water attack that froze the two on the left and Aang hit the final two with a blast of air that knocked them unconscious against a wooden building behind them. Zuko punched flames at the avatar who dodged easily to the left, edging closer to a large bail of water. He grabbed it and used air bending to overturned it above Zuko's head, causing Zuko to fall over with the force and shiver with the freezing cold.

Zuko soon recovered and launched a flurry of long range fire projectiles at Aang, all of which missed by just a bit. Aang watched as two Kyoshi warriors charged him, only to be stopped by another two firebenders. Quite frankly the situation didn't look to good. The old man walked up to Aang and said, "You and your friends must leave to fight another day. Now go!" Aang looked sadly back at the situation and nodded.

"Sokka, Katara, come on lets go!" Aang said and then added only so that the Kyoshi warriors and Katara and Sokka could here, "Lets head to Omashu." Katara and Sokka nodded and then Katara hurried to Appa, and Sokka put down a firenation soldier with one last thwack across the head and jumped atop Appa. Aang reluctantly followed.

"Go avatar, Go!" Aang looked at the warrior who had spoken and nodded again.

As Appa rode off into the sky they heard, "We surrender, the avatar seems to have left, please leave us in…" The voice spoke no more even though they should still be able to overhear the conversation. Aang shuddered at why the speaker had stopped.

"I hope it was the right thing to do, to leave them to Prince Zuko."

Katara nodded sadly and Sokka said, "I'm sure it was, you need to be alive long enough to take out Fire Lord Ozai."

"Yeah, I guess." Aang said gloomily.

Back at the forest…

Krystal surveyed the situation; it should have been fair, if only the two people before them weren't unstoppable. The tall man threw a white flame at her and she dodged to the left, almost running into Jet who was dodging from the other guy. That was when the girl appeared again in front of the man and teenager. She was different though; her eyes contained no pupils and seemed lifeless. She nodded at the man and there was a flash of light. The girl's eyes returned to normal and she toppled over. The man snatched off her gloves and put them on. Then he snapped and the girl's body disappeared. He snapped again and the teen next to him and he disappeared. She stared at where they had been. Such power… how could he bear it? She looked back at the situation at hand.

"Check how many are alive." Jet said solemnly. "What kind of leader am I, damn it? I let them sneak right in! I will never be fooled that easily again!"

She put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Jet, there was nothing you could do. He could just snap his fingers and be here and snap again and be gone." He walked over to one of the bodies and shook his head 'no'. Krystal walked over to the body beside the one Jet was kneeled over and took a pulse, she then nodded happily. In the end the ratio was extremely horrific; thirty alive to twenty dead.

Jet looked off into the distance and said to her, "You know how Master Esav loved riddles and stuff? I found something in his room." He handed her a blank sheet of paper.

"There's nothing on it." She replied.

"Yeah, but I imagine somehow it says something somehow."

"Well I suppose so…" Krystal said and was cut off by Jet.

"AND, I bet it says something important. That's why I want to go into town and get a scroll on secret writing. I'm not exactly welcome though. But you might be." Jet said.

"Yeah I get the point, get the book then come back so we can find out a million possibilities for what it could be."

He nodded, "Pretty much, and while your at it put up a few of these posters." He handed her some scrolls of parchment. She opened one and it said in bold lettering, 'Rebel. Come to the forest to sign up. Don't let the firenation control you.'

She laughed, "That's pretty much what I felt when I ran away from the orphanage."

"Your parents dead?"

"Yeah, my father was a soldier for the firenation and my mother fled like me… Well she tried to, but didn't get far before she was hunted down."

"My parents are dead too, thanks to the firenation."

Then in unison they said, "I'm sorry about that." They laughed and Krystal got some money out of her pocket and ran towards the city, fading into the moonlight.

A/N: Its finally over. Well expect another update soon, because next week is also an avatar week I guesses. :P
