The third Pearl and TheTower of Gods

Disclaimer: This is based off Legend of Zelda, the wind waker, except Link is a girl and a few things have been changed. I don't own the avatar characters. Pluse, I am using Zelda, and a few of the characters from the game for fun. DONT SUE ME IM TOO CUTE TO GET A LAW SUIT :D

Da-xai and Zuko returned to the ship after the festival. The king of red lions was sitting on the railing of the ship to greet them.

"Welcome back. If Ganon's monsters were here, I fear he is regaining his power. We must set sail to the island where the next pearl lies. Set a course for Great Fish isle!" Zuko nodded; and walked onto the ship with Da-xai; and told the helmsman to set course for Great Fish isle.

She stood on deck late into the night. Stairing up at the dimond sky; She felt a hand on her back; and as she jolted around to see Zuko, she smiled.

"You scared me." He smirked and joined her in looking over the boat.

"You OK? You've been almost silent since we left Forest Haven."

"I'm fine." It was a lie; she felt horrible inside. She gave him an assuring smile.

"Really? Cause you look kind of sad."

"Well..." She hesitated, and told him. "How could I have enjoyed myself when Arylle is in so much trouble?" He put his hand on her shoulder to assure her that she wasn't doing anything wrong.

"There isn't anything wrong with seeing that festival, It was a once in a lifetime thing; you shouldn't feel terrible about it." He hugged her. "Besides, your sister will be OK; and after we take you back to Outset island; I'll go back to hunting the avatar, and our lives will go back to normal."

"Do you really want to go back chasing the avatar? You and your uncle could always come back to Outset island with Arylle and I, You'd be alot happier. I'm sure my gramma would be more than happy to have you stay with us-"

"It's alright, finding the avatar is something I have to do." He smiled at her. "But if I ever change my mind, I'll know I'm welcome at your place."

They looked over the side and saw an island with a swirling black cloud over it. It seemed to be storming in that area, and that area alone. As they drew closer; the air around them became cold, and wet. The ship pulled in closer to the island, and as they stepped off the ship, Quill flew upto them.

"Zuko, Da-xai, Thank goodness I found you! Ganon is responcable for the destruction of this great island! Jabun has escaped to outset island and has sealed himself behind a thick stone slab, and even Tetra's ship can't get through!" Da-xai shifted a bit. "I suggest you leave immediatly, Valoo has called this place "Cursed" and I don't want to stick around to see why." As he flew off; Da-xai felt Zuko's hand on her shoulder.

"Lets get going.." She smiled, nodded, and returned to the ship with him. After the king of red lions said to go to Windfall first; and after the course was set, they sat at the dinner table. Eating their dinners silently.

"It will be nice to see the island where you grew up." Iroh broke the silence suddenly, Da-xai nodded.

"Yeah." But she wasn't too excited, while at the same time, she was glad to be heading home. She finished her dinner early, and went strait to bed; where she had a nightmare..

"Arylle!" She screamed, running twords her sister; who had a hold of the fire lord's hand. But no matter how fast she ran; or how outstreached her arms were; she wasn't getting any closer. "Arylle come home! Please!"

"How could you big sister?" Arylle's voice was hollow, and spiritless. "You just let that bird carry me away.."

"No! You don't understand! I've been looking for you!" But as she relized she wasn't getting any closer; she fell onto the mirror ground; and saw below her, as if she was looking down from the heavens, her sister locked up in a cage; and tears pouring out of her eyes. Ozai came to her; rose a Samuai sword above her head; and brought it down with a great force.

Da-xai shot up. Her face drenched in sweat; it was nearly sunrise, but it was still raining. Zuko was sitting beside her bed, shaking her awake.

"You were having a nightmare." She took one look at Zuko, and grabbed onto him and started weeping.

"I have to find her. Ganon can't hurt her." Zuko closed his arms around her and gave her a tight hug.

"I know. It's going to end up OK, I promise." He gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. "Were at Windfall now. The king of red lions says that the curse is the rain and it won't let up untill Jabun breaks it." Da-xai got up from her spot on the bed and walked on deck with Zuko, to see it raining. Iroh looked at the giant wooden ship beside their metel one, and wounderd who's it was.

"Tetra." Da-xai mumbled. "she was the pirate who Arylle was mistaken for." Da-xai took in a deep breath; and got down off the boat and onto Windfall island's sandy shores. The rain was pouring down there as it was everywhere else; they approched the ship; and were asked the password. "Umm...treasure?" That would be the most obvious answer for a band of pirates.

"WRONG!" Da-xai narrowed her eyes at the door, and the two walked off. They heard something from the bomb shop; but the door was locked and they couldn't get in.

"Zuko, come see this." Zuko looked to the side of the building and saw Da-xai idling across a thin strip of land like they did on Dragon Roost. After they got done with that; they jumped a fence and saw vines that are able to be climbed to the roof; after accomplishing that, they crawled through a small hole to the attic above the Bomb Shop. The clerk was bound and gagged; and the pirates were smuggling out the bombs.

"Were leaving for Outset island NOW." Tetra boomed at her crew.

"But Ms.Tetra! We want to stay and relax! its been so long since we saw land, can't we leave in the morning?" Tetra sighed.

"Fine. But we are leaving at first light." Tetra stomped out of the Bomb shop; and the big pirate started talking to a shorter one.

"She is one fine Pirate. If you and Ms.Tetra got married and had a baby; he would be the feircest pirate on the seas!"

"COME ON!" Tetra screamed from outside the door.

"Hey; whats the Password again Gonzo?"

"Oh god Mako. The password is: "Hopscotch"" Zuko snickerd. Da-xai elbowed him in the shoulder. The pirates heard his small 'ouch' noise, but Da-xai hid them from the pirates' veiw. Once they left; they jumped down from the attic and she smacked him on the back of the head.

"Stupid, they almost saw us! Come on." She started out the door while Zuko trailed along behind. They returned to the pirate ship; and knocked on the door again.

"Whats the password?"

"Hopscotch" Da-xai told the door; there was a momentary silence, then it opend. They walked in and saw Neko!

"Ah! Da-xai? I can't believe its you! Its been so long! Let us play again! If you win; I'll give you the bombs we stole." Da-xai nodded; she'd need those bombs. The game was basically the same as before; except there was no platforms; just ropes, and he put himself behind the bars this time. When Da-xai won; he gave her the bombs and hoped Tetra wouldn't know. Da-xai and Zuko returned to the fire navy ship and started a course twords Outset island. Da-xai was quiet most of the way; and she stayed in her room. Sleeping.But when they got to Outset; Zuko saw her spirit in her eyes grow dimmer. The island was pouring down rain; and the island was dark. Da-xai got off the ship; with Zuko and Iroh coming along behind her. She reached her grandmother's house and after she opend the door; she saw her grandmother sitting in her rocking chair and mumbling to herself.

"Oh grama.." Da-xai sighed.

"Da-xai...Arylle...don't leave your poor grandma all alone..." Everyone was quiet; unable to find anything to say. Da-xai turned to Zuko and Iroh, and told them to stay here. She was going to the forest to get a fairy to cure her grandmother. She set out and half way there, just past Orca's house; Zuko was running behind her.

"I told you to stay." She told him. "I don't want to see you get hurt."

"Da-xai. I've been with you through this whole thing. I'm not going to let you go alone." She hesitated with letting him come, but then let him. They fought their way through the forest; and used the deku leaf to sail across the broken bridge. They walked into the damp forest; and fought off all the new monsters which have come there. Da-xai placed a bomb beside the rock and after it exploded; she and Zuko jumped down into the hole, and were amazed at what they saw.

It was a dark cavern like place. But bubbles sank from the illuminating darkness above, the ground was like white sand,and in the middle was a large, glowing shell. Zuko looked around amazedly; and then at Da-xai, she was just as amazed as he was.She walked to the shell; and captured a fairy. Allowing a couple of them to heal her and Zuko as well. They climbed back down from the forest and back to Da-xai's grandmother's house. She opened the lid to the fairy; and it flew around her grandmother; bringing her out of her depressive state.

"Da-xai!" Her grandmother hugged her. "I'm so glad to see your back! Have you saved Arylle yet?" Da-xai shook her head. "Who are your friends?"

"Zuko and Iroh." she told her. "Their helping me find her."

"OK. Please take care of my little grand-daughter."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Zuko assured her. her grandmother got out of her chair and poured something in two bottles.

"Here. You take gramma's special elixer soup. You and your sister used to love it so much." Da-xai nodded and took it. Placeing it gently in her bag, she had to promise her grandmother that she would find Arylle and bring her home safely. "Before you go.." She looked from them and handed them a small music box. "It was your mother's. She told me to give it to you, when you grew up. Seeing you so driven to find Arylle..I think you can have it now." Da-xai nodded and hugged her grandmother good-bye. Inside the box was a half-triangle with a tiny bit at the bottom shaped as a tinier triangle was missing. It was put on a silver chain that Da-xai put around her neck. "It was your mother's necklace. Take care of it."

"I will gramma.."

They left again; takeing the ship behind the island and blowing the door down while trying not to get sucked in by a giant whirl pool. Once the door was blown down; they sailed inside and met Jabun, who spoke a strange language only the king of red lions could understand. They spoke, and Jabun gave them the third, and final pearl.The king of red lions marked the spots on the map that they needed to go next. Three more. They needed to take the pearls to each of the spots and place them on the correct statue. They started their quest normally; but by the second statue they were on eachother's nerves. Da-xai was feeling really bad about her sister again and Zuko's temper got the best of him.

"When are you going to start helping me look for the avatar?"

"When I find my sister!"She had yelled back, It went on like that untill Da-xai decided to leave Zuko and finish the quest by herself.

"Fine!" He yelled at her. "See if I give two shits!" Da-xai had the king of red-lions become a small boat, she put the chest which she kept the pearls in, in the boat,and the sea-chart. Iroh was sad to see her go; but she left anyway.

She had traveled for a long time. Haveing placed the second orb on the second statue; she met Aang, Katara, and Sokka. It was while she had stopped at windfall to gather supplies; they were takeing a rest. Katara met her in the market as she was getting some red chu-jelly.

"Hi." Katara greeted kindly. "I'm Katara."

"Da-xai." They chatted as the strange shop-owner filled her bottle up with jelly; and then Katara's bottle. She saw she was low on money; so Da-xai lent her the money and told her she didn't need to pay her back. They walked back to Katara's friends' camp site, talking and laughing.

"So you need to get the last pearl to the last statue huh?" she nodded. "We can ask Aang if he could fly you there, it's on the way to where we were going anyway."

"would you? Oh thank you!"

Aang had agreed. As they flew her to where she needed to go. She talked with them, the king of red lions back in his cat form and on her lap. Her chest sitting on the end of the saddle. She told them of her quest, of how she befriended the fire nation prince, but then how he stabbed her in the back. They had become friends quickly, and when they stopped at the island to let her put Juban's pearl on the statue, the eyes of the statue began to glow; and a yellow lazer like line was shot from that statue, to the second and first one, forming a corner of a triangle. They decided to fly her to the center of the triangle, seeing as a giant building emerged from the sea.As they got closer to the building, they saw Zuko's black, iron ship emerge twords it as well. The king of red lions became a ship again, and after the chest was put back on the KORL (Too lazy to write out the real name again) Aang and the others left; not wanting to be captured by Zuko.

"I don't need your help!" She scolded up at Zuko. "I'm perfectly capable of doing this myself."

"I'm sorry OK?" Zuko told her from over the side of the ship. "I shouldn't have acted like that, I know how important it is for you to find your sister. Forgive me?"

"Not so easy." She told him,crossing her arms. He sighed.

"OK. I can understand how you'd be mad at me, but please let me help you! I was an immature jerk I know!" as he kept apologizing, she saw how sorry he really was. She sighed and decided to forgive him. His ship stayed outside the building, because it was too big. He joined Da-xai on the King of Red lions and they sailed in. "You know I'm sorry right?" Zuko asked her as they entered. She nodded.

"mmhmm the sea can get on people's nerves all the time. I wasn't helping either.."

"You deserve to act like that. With your sister and all."

"All water under the bridge." he nodded, the tides were riseing, and sinking. The king of red lions explained their quest to them, telling them what they've got to do.

"This is a test formed by the gods. Their testing your strenghts." Both of them nodded and they went at their quest as instructed; they reached the end, before them was a long staircase winding around the last bit of the tower. They walked up the staircase; beating monsters as they went through. They stopped at big doors, and took a deep breath.

"ready?" Zuko nodded. They opened the door with the boss key and walked inside. There was a large platform, and the second they stepped on it, the outside of the platformed sparked. Out of the wall poped a giant brick head with mutant brick hands, and the fight began.

After many times of shooting the head with the arrows; it was all over. The head went back into the wall saying: "The path can now be opened.." They got to the very top of the tower; smiling at eachother, and at the diamond studded sky; Da-xai ran for the bell string, pulled it, and it rang out through the night sky. They got back down and onto Zuko's ship. The king of red lions was still a boat, but there was no chest. They got on the king of red lions, and he sailed them into a circle of light on the sea.
woo sure took me long enough! GOOD NEWS: FLUFFLICIOUSNESS COMING SOON:D
