Chapter 7
The Raid & the Capture
Two years later…..
18 years old Katara walked down the stairs and entered the court yard that evening and viewed the sky and saw black puff falling with the snowflakes.
"What is happening…soot?…..no…NO THEY RETURNED!" running back into the palace she called an emergency meeting and began, "Everyone settle down, now listen closely, the Fire Nation have returned once again, I would like to have the children and the mothers flee the village and take 30 waterbenders with you and 50 warriors to protect them. The rest of the waterbenders and men will protect the village and the palace, now get moving!"
"My lady!"
Katara spun around and looked over to her loyal friend Rosa and asked, "Yes Rosa?"
"I would highly suggest you to flee as well and-"
"No, I will not hold back and flee, I will fight for my people understood, I want you to lead the army that is bringing the people to safety alright, now go!"
"I will not let you down." Saluted Rosa and hurried off to lead the army.
Katara hurried to her room and opened her battle closet and got into her battle uniform changed into the white uniform to camouflage her when she fights. Fastening her cape; she lifts the hood over her head and headed out.
She took along with her 10 highest ranked waterbenders to join her as they headed up towards the cliff where she could view the battle.
Looking at the moon, the sky was clear, for now until the smog of soot fills the air.
The first Navy attacked the harbour and began battling as flaming catapults launched into the air landing in the village where you heard blood hurled screams.
Katara watched them as a storm was picking up and turned to her men and began, "Alright men, you are going to go down there and free people from the fire and slaughtering understood? NOW MOVE!"
The men scurried down the mountain as Artic Wolves came by Katara's side and as she began doing some ancient waterbending spell; waving her hands and arms she claps her hands into a praying position and opens them as a crystal staff appeared from the sparkling shimmering crystal flakes that came from the staff.
On the hem of the staff was a sapphire that was carved as the Water Tribe Symbol went into Katara's hands as she waterbended herself down from the mountain into the battle field and walked through the battle as Fire Nation soldiers tried attacking her but the attacks never hit, a crystal barrier stop the attacks as she waterbended the soldiers into the ocean and began running into the harbour swinging the Firebenders into the ocean and began picking up speed and ran across the water destroying every navy ship, making them sink into the ocean as a whirlpool sucked them in.
Reaching the ship she was aiming for she leaped on and greeted the soldiers with an unwelcoming surprise and wiped them all into the ocean.
Waving her staff she brought up her giant wave and crashed it down on the ship and leaped into the sky where the moon shown most and floated there and observed the ships and suddenly her crystal barrier came visible as a Aqua blue light shown among the arc and released at great amount of power…
The light created the Northern Lights and took affects and destroyed all of the Fire Navy Ships….
With open arms she began concentrating on the staff as suddenly tiny blue bubble crystals began circulating her in different rows, as each rows spun the opposite direction of the previous row.
Suddenly the tiny blue bubble crystals shot out of the barrier and aiming like missiles at the ships and destroying each one of them in one shot…
Ships began fleeing quickly, some survived using smaller boats; some were destroyed before they reached safety some survived in one piece, but that was very scarce.
Doing her final attack she closed her eyes and suddenly snapped open with glowing blue light blinding everyone…
Finally it faded, all there were left were destroyed fleets, and no surviving ship who wanted to continue to fight.
Katara's crystal ball went into the ocean to gather her energy and heal her.
Returning to the surface she lands on the beach and received cheers from her people.
She grinned and lead began, "Victory to the Southern Water Tribe!"
"Victory of Freedom!" chimed the people happily.
As soldiers began cleaning and repairing the village Katara returned to her palace and saw her brother and ran up to him and hugged him tightly, "Sokka you survived!"
Sokka laughed, "Who wouldn't? You practically wiped out the whole Fire Navy Fleets!"
Katara laughed as she walked back to her room and entered her washroom and filled the tub with hot water and stripped off her clothes and set her hair loose from the braid and step into the tub and sighed heavenly and began washing herself and waterbend in the water and blew the bubbles of the soap.
Letting the water release her stress she closed her eyes until there was a knock on her door.
Katara scowled and slipped out of the tub and grabbed her bath robe and fastened it tight and opened the door and saw no one and looked into her dark room and began, "Anyone there?"
Looking over to her swinging open windows she walks over and closed it shut and eyed the room and ignored the fact of getting changed into her night gown, she left the room and closed the door behind and heard the windows open again, this time slamming the doors open she closed it shut behind her and hissed, "Who is in here, I know you are there…come out! I am not afraid to fight you!"
Clapping her hands together she rubbed them as she closed her eyes and made a small light and held it high and eyed the room carefully and walked around making sure she wasn't off guard and took her night gown and walked back into the washroom and looked around including the ceiling and quickly got changed into the night gown that was long with the mixture of blue and white with long draping sleeves as she went back into her room and closed her curtains and slipped into bed as she fell asleep.
Waking up early in the morning she heard her windows open and opened her eyes slowly and saw something and saw it hide in the closet and walked over to her closet and opened it when something pounced on her and thrown a gag into her mouth as she tried to scream, a blind fold kept her from knowing who her captor was as she struggled against the ropes she was tied in.
She felt her captor throw her over its shoulder and jumped out of the window carrying her out into the forest.
Katara continued to struggle against the bonds, I mean for god damn sake! She was still in her night gown, shivering from the cold, she could feel her feet and cheeks growing frost bites quickly, and obviously her captor didn't care what happened to her!
She could feel her skin growing cold against the snowy breeze that suddenly calmed as she was thrown into the snow and shivered all over not from fear exactly, because she was freezing like hell of the spirits!
She couldn't tell either she wasn't paying attention but all she knew she was loosing her consciousness and suddenly everything disappeared…..
Katara began to regain consciousness after a long time in the pitch darkness and noticed that she was still tied up and had a blind fold over her eyes, but she was free from the gag. She was grateful that, that filthy rag was out of her mouth, but she was cold, ungrateful for her captor actions, first kidnapping her in her night gown, then tossing her in the snow, then now what is it planning to do next?
"So you finally awaken."
Katara looked over to the direction of the voice and scowled, "Release me now! I am not afraid to fight you! Show me who you are! You have a lot of explaining to do!"
"Ooooh I am so scared look spirit girl, you aren't going anywhere, well not on my watch, unless you want me to toss you in the snow again and leave you there this time!"
"Be my guest!" hissed Katara coldly and tried to loosen the ropes but it didn't budge.
"Don't bother trying to get out of those ropes; they are highly quality, meant for capturing spirit princesses like you!"
"Shut up bastard or bitch, or what the fuck; whoever you are!" cursed Katara as she tried to get her hands free again.
"Look girl, unless you want me to put the gag back in your mouth to shut you up, then shut the hell up got it?"
"You can't tell me what to do! I-"
"Too bad, you have no control over me and there isn't anything you can do about that, the captors always get the power, and the bait or prisoner is helpless."
"Will you stop blabbering away and tell me who are you damnit!" she out raged.
"Hm, let me think about that. No."
"Yes! You will tell me right this second!"
"No."
"YES!"
"Who said besides you?"
"THE OCEAN SPIRIT!"
"Ha, some spirit tells me what to do? Forget it."
"THEN I'LL GIVE YOU A PIECE OF MY MIND-"
"Want me to toss you back in the snow; you already have enough frost bites."
"Well, you see; maybe if you have kidnapped me when I was wearing a coat would've been a better suggestion don't you agree?" she snapped with sarcasm.
"Oh you want a coat? Too bad you are going to freeze, not my problem you don't wear a coat to bed."
"WELL IT'S YOUR FAULT YOU IDIOT!" she screamed.
"Will you SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY?"
"NO! I WILL SCREAM AND SCREAM AND SCREAM UNTIL I RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!"
"HA! You are pathetic for a princess look at you, thinking you are so brave because you are the Ocean Spirit!"
"No, I am the daughter ocean spirit." snapped Katara.
"What?"
"Daughter."
"What do you mean daughter?"
"It means dummy; that I am the Ocean Spirit's daughter, not the pure Ocean Spirit!" scowled Katara.
"Ah yes, Princess Yue, Daughter of the Moon."
"Whatever." grumbled Katara and asked, "Now start talking, why do you want to capture me!"
"Who said I'll listen to a filthy spirit like you!"
"I AM NOT FILTHY! I JUST HAD A BATH BEFORE I WENT TO BED!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"AM NOT TO GET IT INTO YOUR WACKY BRAIN MORON!"
"Well then shut up!"
"Why not you?" scowled Katara.
"Will you ever stop shouting and scowling?"
"NO!" scowled Katara loudly and continued to wiggle her hands and felt the rope giving away and loosen the knot as she and the captor were silence for a moment.
The captor spoke first, "Look princess, shut up so I could get rid of my headache!"
"Ooooh, sorry did I cause an ouchy?"
"Shut up already!"
"Ooooh someone needs to learn its patient? I wonder why?" she scowled with sarcasm.
"Shut it!" as they captor shoved the gag back into her mouth as she gagged repeatedly, this was going to be a long, long time, either it was day, or night.
