Author's Note- I know that the previous chapter was all weird but I can't help putting a little weirdness into my story. Any way here comes that big fat fight! Duhn duhn duhn.

CH7- Part II

Yroki looked around as she stood up.

"Do you hear that?" She asked. "It sounds like-like-"

At that instant a hoard of Fire Nation soldiers ran through the woods toward them. It was more than twice the size of the soldiers that had previously attacked. They began to swarm around the four, forcing them into the middle of a large circle.

Aang, Katara, Yroki, and Sokka were all back-to-back. They took fighting stances and looked at each other.

"We all know what to do," Aang said. I know that makes NO sense whatsoever but it seems fitting

Yroki nodded and shot out a water whip cycle that knocked out ten soldiers. Katara opened a flask and shot icy water at the soldiers. Aang and Sokka began combat (hand-to-hand) against a group of soldiers advancing from the rear. Advancing from the rear cracks me up every time

"Fire in the hole!" Aang shouted. So does 'fire in the hole!' and the next line is hilarious if you like that

"Sorry," Sokka said. "That was me."

Yroki thought for a second about how much her life had changed when she met these three. Unfortunately, a second was too long, for she was thrown to the ground. She quickly resume fighting stance and wouldn't focus on anything besides getting of there. After throwing a few punches, the amount of soldiers began to decrease.

"RETREAT!" one of them yelled.

After more than half of the hoard was defeated, one of them snuck up behind Yroki and grabbed her. "I have the girl," he said. "Let's move!"

Yroki began to squirm and struggle, but the soldier just tightened his grip. She wouldn't shout for help or beg to be let go. She had more dignity than that. She desperately looked around the site for some way to break free from the soldiers grip. She hoped that Aang, Katara, or Sokka would try to save her, but they were overwhelmed in their own problems with the soldiers now.

The hoard, or what remained of it, had not weakened or tried to relinquish. Even though the soldier had captured Yroki, none of the soldiers took notice. The fight continued until most of them had retreated, been knocked out, or some other third thing. After a while, the soldier holding Yroki grew impatient.

"I said, 'I HAVE THE GIRL! LET"S MOVE!"

The other soldiers stopped fighting and ran off into the woods.

"Sokka!" Yroki cried out as she struggle in the soldier's tight grip. The soldier dragged her into the woods.

"Yroki!"

The soldier dragged her deeper and deeper into the woods until he stopped at a campsite. Many tents were posted on the ground and soldiers gathered around a campfire. One of them stood up and approached her. He was unidentifiable because he was wearing a mask.

"Where is the pendant?" he asked her.

"What pendant?"

The soldier came closer. "Don't play games with me. I know you have the pendant."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

She pulled her collar up to hide the pendant.

"Alright. No use wasting all night. I 'll be back for you in the morning," he said, pointing a finger at Yroki.

The soldier took her to the edge of the site (which was a very stupid thing to do). She squirmed and struggled, but, once again, the soldier's grip tightened. Then she remembered an afternoon she had spent with her godfather.

The sun was overhead as Yroki, age 9, ran into her godfather's tent. He had a small lunch spread out and she eagerly took her seat. Every day, he always had a lesson to teach her, but it was hidden. As they were eating, Yroki winced and looked down at her thumb. It had a small pink mark on it. "That was from last week wasn't it?" her godfather asked. She nodded. "Well," he said. "You were trying to catch a small animal weren't you? Yes, that's right. And, the more it squirmed, the tighter you held on, but when it relaxed, you loosened your grip. It was fairly smart, but not smart enough, for as it tried to make its escape you simply held it tighter still. It still had a last resort though. It was frightened and wanted to return home." Yroki had a guilty look on her face. "Now, now, it's nothing to be ashamed of. You are but a child. Anyway, desperate times call for desperate measures, so what did that animal do to make you let it go?" "It bit me." They both looked at each other and began to laugh. Those were the days...

'Desperate times call for desperate measures!' she thought. 'The more I struggle the tighter he holds, but I know that he'll never let me go. Unless...'

"OUCH!" the soldier's cry echoed throughout the forest as Yroki began running. She ran faster and faster. She approached the site. She could see it. Almost there-

Something fell from a nearby tree and hit her on her forehead. She was out cold.

BATHROOM BREAK... SNACK BREAK... Mmmmm OREOS!... AND NOW BACK TO THE SHOW

Yroki opened her eyes. She was still a little dreary from the fall as she tried to comprehend what had just happened.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"You're back her with us," Katara said.

"You really scared me," Sokka said.

Yroki smiled and he blushed. "Us," he said. "You really scared us."

She stood up and hugged him.

"Aawww!" Aang and Katara said smiling.

"Hey!" Sokka said, throwing his arms out to his sides. This pushed Yroki to the ground. He looked down and held out his hand to help her up. "Sorry."

"It's okay," she said smiling. She hugged him again. Aang was about to burst, but when he saw the look on Sokka's face, he threw a small white object a few yards away.

"Uh oh," he said. "I dropped my whistle over there and I have to go get it." He got up and ran toward the whistle.

"I'll help you find it Aang!" Katara called out running after him.

Yroki looked at Sokka and wondered, 'What am I doing? I've endangered all of them and I shouldn't stay with them any longer. But I can't leave them! I should though. I don't want to!'

"Sokka?" she looked at him. "I don't know how to say this, but I- uh-I-" She tried to make the words come out but nothing was working. 'Just spit it out!' she thought.

"I don't want to leave you at all because I-uh-I- kind of- well- just you know- the feeling you- you get when you really-really like someone- someone that you care about and-uh- you know-"

Why can't I do this? She wondered.

"I- feel- you know- that really good feeling- the one that makes you feel like you don't want to ever leave that person- or just- well- I- uh-"

"Yeah," he said. "I know what you mean."

She looked at him again with one of those goofy smiles and kissed him.

Of course, Katara and Aang were watching the whole sappy scene from behind a tree. Yroki and Sokka were still in their little moment when Aang and Katara came back.

"I'm already tired!" Aang said. "I don't want to be sick too!"

Yroki pulled away and blushed.

"Good night you guys," she said with a 'yawn.' "See ya in the morning."

She smiled at Sokka before going into her tent. She had that feeling again that maybe, it wasn't so bad. It wasn't so bad at all.

OK! That's the thing for now and uuhhh hope ya enjoyed it!
