K15: Hey guys I decided to update Kidnapped. After all it's been a while. I figured you guys deserve to know what's happening in my other Avatar fics. –Shrug-

Zuko: Don't mind her she's just bored.

K15: Yeah kinda, anyway. So here's the chapter you've been waiting for!

Zuko: Quit lying.

K15: Anyway. So read and review. Later. K15

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. If I did, Zuko would be Fire Lord by now.

Chapter 7 Escaping

Zuko watched his sister slip back out of the bars and down the hall. When she created her diversion him and Aang would have about five minutes to get out of the cell itself without alerting the guards or anyone else on Zhao's ship. He couldn't help but think about all the dangers that were going to happen.

Zuko turned to the Avatar and nodded. The two bound and gagged the two guards that were just outside of their cell. After that they turned to Suki and bound and gagged her. They couldn't have alerting Zhao while they were trying to escape.

"Avatar," Zuko turned to the last air bender. "We need your air bending that way we can get up quicker and out of here quicker than before."

"What are we going to do after that? I gave my bison whistle to Katara." Aang confessed.

Zuko couldn't help but roll his eyes. Leave it to the Avatar to give their only way of escaping to a water tribe peasant. He needed to do some quick thinking if they wanted to make it out alive. He couldn't risk his sister's life as well as the Avatar's life too.

"Avatar, I know what I'm doing. We'll just take a boat from here."

"But won't they catch us?"

Zuko shook his head. "We're going to make sure we don't get caught. Not when the Blue Spirit is keeping Zhao busy."

Zuko went to the box and took out a blue spirit mask. Aang couldn't help but smile. The last time that he was caught it was the blue spirit who rescued him. And he got out of Zhao's holding just in time. But now this time both the blue spirit was here with him and was going to be keeping the admiral busy.

"Are you sure about this?" Aang asked.

Zuko smiled and slipped on his blue spirit mask. "Trust me Avatar. It's the only way for both of us to get out of here alive."

With Katara

Katara couldn't help but look at Haru. "You're cousins?"

"Yeah but dufus brains over there is a traitor." Jet accused.

Sokka rolled his eyes and climbed on Appa pulling Haru with him. "This is stupid then. You know we're able to escape don't you?"

Jet smirked. "Yup, and because I'm such a nice guy I'm going to allow that."

Katara rolled her eyes as both Sokka and Haru left. This was getting too confusing for her liking. They needed to find out where Zuko and Aang, more Aang then Zuko was being held. Without the Avatar there was no possible way of getting out of here.

"So, have you thought about my offer?" Jet asked.

"I rather be a concubine to Zuko then to you!" She screeched.

Jet came up about an inch away from her face. "You know I'm trying to be a nice guy, I let your brother and that boy escape. I'm giving you a choice whether or not you're going to marry me. But if you keep being a brat about this, I'll just force you."

Katara used the water around her and froze Jet to the wall. "Just like old times again, isn't it?" She walked up to him. "Though this time nobody's going to get you out of this."

"Katara! You're going to pay for this."

She folded her arms and smirked. "You see now Jet, I'm a water bending master, and I'm better at water bending." She raised water bender the water around her. "So it takes less energy to do this."

She used the water she was holding to freeze the rest of his body. She smirked again and walked away from him. It was then when she heard the ice melting. Katara spun around and saw fire benders thawing the rebel leader.

"Oh shit." She said as Jet was completely melted.

"You know that's what I have fire benders on this ship for." Jet smirked.

Katara took a defensive stance. She was going to fight for her freedom, even it required her fighting to the death. "I'm not worried about you Jet."

"I'm always glad to hear about that."

With Zuko

Zuko sighed as he walked Zhao's ship. How that man survived the moon spirit was beyond him. He couldn't remember how the heck to get out of here. He needed to get to the deck at least.

"There he is!" Zhao screamed. "Get that traitor prince!"

Zuko smirked under his mask. He didn't feel like talking much but he knew he could take on at least two fire benders on at a time. He had hoped that maybe the Avatar had followed him, but obviously it wasn't so.

The fire prince ducked and hit a soldier in the stomach with the blunt end of his blade. He didn't want to cause any deaths of his own people, because that would just end in more treason for killing his own people.

"Get out of here." Nyla hissed.

"Not without you." Came Zuko's reply.

Nyla rolled her eyes and created a firewall from the ground. She placed her left foot down on it and stepped forward. Then, she placed it flat on the ground.

"What are you doing Nyla?" Zhao demanded. "You missed the Fire Prince!"

"I wasn't aiming for my brother Zhao." She smirked.

Just as Zhao was going to ask the stupid question of what she meant, him and his group of lackeys were hit in the back by a fire attack. Nyla quickly spun around and grabbed Zuko's wrist pulling him along.

"I'd say thank you, but we don't have the time." Zuko muttered.

"Look, I didn't save your worthless, butt back there because I was being nice." Nyla replied. "I did it because you're family, and that's what Mom would do."

"You miss her don't you?" Zuko asked.

"Of course, the only one who doesn't miss Mom is Zula! What are you a twit?" Nyla demanded. "Look, keep your big fat mouth shut and everything will be fine. Dad's going to be furious with me anyway for doing this."

Zuko looked away from his sister as the reached back to the cell. He couldn't stand the fact that he really didn't have either his mother or his father. After all, what kind of mother would leave their son, okay children, with an abusive father?

Dad's not really abusive. Zuko reminded himself. Just misunderstood. The faster I get back to Uncle Iroh's ship, the faster I can call back on my search for the Avatar.

"Don't even think about searching for the Avatar, Zuko." Nyla said breaking up his thoughts.

"Don't tell me what to do." Zuko snarled. "I'm still older than you.

"But you're banished, exiled, you're pretty much dead to me!" Nyla yelled.

Ouch, that hit hard. Zuko thought.

"What do you mean I'm pretty much dead?"

"Look, when father banished you, I was put under intensive training, harder than you can ever imagine. I was moved on from basics to the advance set almost immediately." Nyla explained walking into the cell. "I'll help you escape but nothing else."

"What makes you so sure that you can do that?" Zuko snapped. "Maybe I don't want your help any more."

Aang stuck his head out from the fireplace. "Hey Zuko, lets get going. I saw a flying bison coming towards us. That must mean that there is a good couple of miles between us and Katara."

"Nyla, it was good seeing you again." Zuko said bowing. "I still don't trust you."

The exiled prince walked over to the Avatar and hooked arms with him. They were back to back and began to climb up the chimney.

"I trust you Zuko, and your sister." Aang said suddenly.

"Just shut up and focus on what's coming on. We'll probably get caught because of your talking." Zuko snapped.

"Look, the faster we get this done, the faster we can save Katara…" Aang started.

"And the faster we can go back to our game of cat and mouse." Zuko finished.

"Exactly. I know you hate me Zuko, but have you thought about what I said?"

"How if I knew you back then, could we be friends?" Zuko asked confirming his thoughts.

"Yeah."

"Yes I have Avatar, and I don't think so." Zuko replied sharply.

"Funny, that's what my friend Kuzon said at first." Aang chuckled slightly.

"Fire Lord Kuzon?"

"Yeah why?"

"He's my great uncle. Or at least he was. He did two years ago." Zuko said glancing back at the Avatar. "My grandfather ordered him to death. We have a history of living long."

"I can tell." Aang replied coldly. "So I missed my best friend by two years."

"Yeah, if my grandfather didn't take the throne he was destined to." Zuko replied. "Not that it mattered. The hunt for the Avatar would have been put up more, since you two were best friends."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Aang said looking up. "We're getting closer." He stated.

"You can't leave me just because you see that pathetic excuse for a water peasant warrior." Zuko snapped. "We work together or we don't leave."

"Spoken like a true friend." Aang smiled.

"I'm not your friend, Avatar. Get that through your thick bald headed skull." Zuko snapped. "And I never will be."
