Betraying Firebenders

Summary: Jet decides to come to town with Krystal to try to inspire some of the villagers. But will it be a good or bad result? Is it really wise for Jet to go into town with wanted posters all over?

Krystal was at the dam when Jet came. "You know I think I'll come along too!" Jet said while panting. "We can do better if we put our minds together."

"Are you sure it's not because you couldn't resist me?" She said teasingly while laughing.

"No, I'm not sure." He said and he went forward, put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the lips. (A/N: Wow that was quite sudden)

Ok I think he has officially lost it, Krystal thought after Jet let go of her.

"I think we may be able to get some more rebels by going to town personally though." Jet said.

Krystal was still too flustered to speak, but she slowly nodded and climbed down the ladder, hopping when there was two feet left between the ground and her. Jet hopped down and led the way to an old scroll stand. There was a wanted sign with a great drawing of Jet on it and Jet laughed and said jokingly, "I think it really brings out my good side." The scroll seller's eyes widened as he looked at the poster and looked at Jet and Krystal, holding hands and walking towards his stand.

"You have anything about hidden messages?" The bookseller looked down at a document that read the names of his scrolls. He then nodded after a moment and pointed to one.

Krystal picked it up, "How much?" She asked. The seller pointed to the price on the list. "Fifty bronze coins? Oh well." She said while pulling out her life's savings. She then pulled out one of the five scrolls advertising the rebels and asked Jet, "Where do you want this?"

"Ehh, I have an idea." He walked towards the town meeting spot. It was still quite busy and lots of people pointed at them and looked at WANTED posters. Krystal put up a poster by the wanted signs. And Jet put up one by a podium. That was when things turned bad.

A man grabbed her from behind and yanked her from Jet's hand. Jet turned around and even more firenation soldiers spotted him. "Get him!" They shouted. Jet grabbed Krystal and yanked her from the mans grasp.

He then walked slowly and purposefully towards the podium. "Cover me." He said. Krystal's hands blazed and she threw fire at the soldiers. They retaliated by firing fire at Jet, but she jumped in the way and blazed a powerful flame that kept a continuous shield around Jet. "Ozai is a tyrant break away from his rule!" Jet shouted not addressing the fire lord properly. People gasped at his words, but many looked intrigued. "The avatar is back. There is hope, even if you're a firebender you can rebel against your misleading ruler." He pointed at Krystal. "She did." She blushed. Jet's words were pelting these people with indecision, but Krystal couldn't hold the shield much longer.

"Jet… hurry up, I can't hold this shield much longer." She only whispered this so that he could hear. Then she let go of the shield and sent it flying into the firebending soldiers ranks. A few of them dodged, but most were sent scorching to the ground.

"We need backup!" One shouted. Another one of them nodded and ran down an alley. Jet pulled out his hooked swords and barreled into a firebender soldier before gaping in horror. Krystal ran to where he was and saw. At least two dozen firebenders were running towards them, pulling the ranks forward.

"Run to the dam!" Jet said. Krystal dashed after Jet and flung some more fire at the pursuing soldiers. She was nearly hit a few times but managed to get to the ladder unscathed. She climbed it as fast as she could and stopped short when she reached the top. There were another dozen soldiers and they had Jet. One pointed at her and she hopped up. She noticed a man making a quick sketch of her and she threw fire at the sketch. Then she turned and looked at her options. It could be hard not to hit Jet, but she knew it was worth him getting a little burn to get out of there. Two firebenders charged her and she flung a long wave of fire at them that they dodged and hurled back at her something worse. That was when the 'run for your life' option left as the ladder sizzled then fell to the ground flaming.

She charged the firebender holding Jet and hit him with a slight flare that he just shrugged off. She heard wood smack against cement as another ladder went into place. Firebenders climbed up the ladder. Soon there were about four dozen firebender soldiers surrounding her. She lunged out at a random one and he grabbed her arms twisted them behind her back and bound her with a steel chain that couldn't be burnt. He then held her out above the water the dam held back and she gasped as her feet left the ground. "You think you could answer some questions?" He asked Jet who didn't answer. The firebender dropped her for a second then caught her. Krystal's eyes widened, as did Jet's.

"Maybe." Jet said hurriedly.

"Where is your hideout?"

Krystal looked at Jet and said, "Don't tell them!"

The firebender looked at her and smiled. "Have a nice swim then, traitor." He said menacingly. He let go of the chain and didn't attempt to grab it again. The whole group of firebenders laughed as she impacted the water fifty feet below. Krystal felt like her back had split as she hit the water. She frantically tried to swim towards the shore on the forest side. She almost managed to make it but she slipped farther into the water. She toppled onto the shore and the scroll of hidden writing fell out onto it. Then she slipped back into the water and her eye sight darkened. (A/N: I love it when they get really close to surviving, then die. It makes me laugh.)

Omashu was a beautiful city when Aang described his crazy adventures with his friend Bumi there. Up close it wasn't so great though. A giant gate guarded by two stern looking earthbenders was one feature that wasn't so enjoyable. That's why Aang had suggested wearing disguises, as not to attract attention. Sokka and Katara had agreed and Aang now wore a fake mustache and straw hat. Katara had a straw hat as well and Sokka pushed along a stand that 'was full of cabbage.' The funny thing was that it wasn't cabbage hidden beneath the cloth, but rocks. Aang walked up to the earthbenders and said in a funny voice, "Good day sonnies! Can my grandkids and I come through here to sell our cabbage?"

The two earthbenders looked at him and nodded, they signaled to the gateman and the gate slowly opened. Aang waddled in hunchbacked and Sokka and Katara followed quickly. Aang let out a sigh of relief that quickly turned to fear as his mustache toppled to the ground; he turned back and sighed once again as no one noticed. He then walked purposefully toward the market and then swerved down an alley to the right. Sokka abandoned the cart and ran after Aang, Katara followed in suit. Aang climbed on top of a market stand and jumped to the roof of the building near it. Katara and Sokka followed questioningly. "What are we doing up here, Aang?" Katara asked.

"You'll see!" Aang said happily and Sokka rolled his eyes. Aang climbed to a window then leaped up. There was an area of stairs that lead up a large wall with chutes flowing in serenity down into a factory like place. Aang dashed up the stairs and made it to the top a minute or two before Sokka and Katara did. He then pushed down a large stone tablet and positioned it near one of the chutes. "Get on guys! This was one of Bumi and mine favorite things to do!" Sokka gaped at him and Katara got on slowly. Sokka followed reluctantly and Aang gave it an air bending kick and hopped on. They flew swiftly down the chute.

"Are you insane!" Sokka shouted. Then he gasped as the tablet flew strait down. "You must be!" Sokka added. The hill faded and turned into a straight chute. The stone collided with stone and some of the tablet chipped slightly as it went straight ahead towards another steep incline. The tablet dropped straight down and came to an abrupt stop as an earthbender lifted them, tablet and all, into the air atop a mighty looking stalagmite. An earthbender next to him held up a familiar fake mustache and Aang looked at Katara and Sokka and smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Oops!" He said, "So you've caught me, I'm the avatar!"

They looked at each other and then one of them replied calmly, "You're coming to see the king!" Aang looked at Sokka and Katara who were looking scornfully at him.

Meanwhile at the other end of Omashu…

"Tia! Come on, before Sarah or mom sees us!" The two girls snuck out of their house and narrowly avoided doing chores.

"Uhh, Nina, what are we going to do now?" Tia asked. I don't know.

"Hey, Tia and Nina!" Their friend Robbie ran up to them. "Did you hear the news?" Tia and Nina shook their heads down cast. "The avatar's in town!"

"Nice joke Robbie, you got us with it last time though." Tia said.

"I'm totally serious, and besides you don't have anything better to do…"The he raised an eyebrow, "Besides doing your fancy-smancy chores."

Nina and Tia looked at each other simultaneously and then back at Robbie, "Fine…fine, but if you trick us again…"

"I told you its not a trick. Ok I need you to earth bend us up to the chutes."

"Last time we went to the chutes we got caught." Nina replied.

"Yeah, that's what happened to the avatar. Hurry, he'll probably be put before mad old Bumi before long." So Tia and Nina earth bent a tower and came to the top of the 'chutes' building. They then jumped on a tablet and slid down. Nina and Tia bent the earth so that they didn't go out of control.

"Look! Right there!" Robbie pointed to a tablet that had been punctured with an earth stalagmite. On top of it were three people. Two wore blue clothes and one had on airbender garb. Robbie pointed to the airbender. "That must be the avatar." The two twins stared at each other then back at the avatar.

"Wow!" They said in unison.

Meanwhile in the firenation…

Princess Azula was preparing herself for her journey to seek out the avatar. She tied her hair up, tightened her armor and flung a fireball without looking that hit a target in the center of a fireproof board. She smiled and opened the door, fully ready to take on the avatar…

Meanwhile on the island of Kyoshi warriors…

Prince Zuko walked off from the Kyoshi warriors. One followed him, "The avatar was heading to Omashu." She said.

Zuko stopped and then said, "Why would you tell me this?" She shrugged then walked off back to the other warriors. He narrowed his eyes and walked toward the ship. None of his warriors had been seriously wounded in the fight, but they still might need attention from the doctor aboard the ship.

Meanwhile in the woods by the dam…

Via watched as they marched the one called Jet away. She looked at the scroll on the shore and looked down to where the girl hand vanished moments before. Heck, I'm going in after her. Via dove into the water, eyes squinting against it. She looked down and noticed it was maybe thirty feet deep. She came up and took a breath. Then she went under taking big strokes. She gasped as her body willed itself to take a breath of air, but managed to continue. She went down another ten feet from the point and saw Krystal on the bottom, not moving. Via scooped her up and madly went for the surface. Her vision started to blur more and she kept swimming as quickly as she could. When she broke the surface she rolled the girl along the shallow mud until she could sit there, still. Via collapsed beside her and noticed faint breath…
