Week Two Part 2

I don't own GON or Avatar

Aang and the others mourned the loss of a friend they had only just met.

Aang sat on the riverbank piping a sad melody on his flute.

Katara and Sokka had made small boats out of paper and wood and placed a candle in them and let them float down river.

Toph was singing a hymn of the earth kingdom, which I think, represents passing on.

(Okay so I don't know how they send people off in that world what do you want from me I'm only human)

Aang: GON was a good friend he was fun and as free spirited as an air nomad.

Katara: he was as caring and as helpful as a water tribesman.

Sokka: he had a cool head and bravery to match any warrior's.

Toph: he faced things head on and was stubborn to the end just like an earth bender.

They all bowed their heads in respect for the friend that had been taken from them because of the cruelty of a princess.

Little did they know their friend hadn't drowned?

GON lay on the bank with water in his mouth; his eyes opened and he swallowed the water.

He stood up his head spinning in circles.

He tried to walk his legs shaky and rigid and made it a few feet before falling.

GON: looks like I'm not going anywhere until I rest. He closed his eyes to sleep and began to roll.

A platypus-bear lying on his back was sleeping soundly until he felt something fall on his stomach.

He looked down and saw GON nibbling at his fur.

The platypus-bear grabbed GON in his paws and flung him into the air.

A mother bird was flying back to her nest and found GON crowding the nest and her chicks.

She pecked at him to no avail but then the branch to small to hold GON's weight snapped.

GON bounced away still asleep.

A saber-toothed moose-lioness was sleeping with her head to the ground when she felt a sudden push on her antlers.

When she looked to see what it was she saw GON sleeping in the curve of her left antler.

Furious she stood up tossed GON into the air and batted him into the distance with her antlers.

GON rolled on through the night still asleep. (Hmm sound sleeper eh?)

A mother wolf-cat was lying on her side allowing her cubs to snuggle against her soft under fur.

GON rolled into her softly landing with his head against her belly.

The new feeling made the mother wolf-cat look at her litter.

When she saw GON she smiled and put her head back down.

Some of the cubs cuddled up against GON as if he had always been there.

And for the rest of that night GON rested with the wolf-cat pride.

Meanwhile

Aang shot up from the ground waking from his dream.

Katara: Aang what's wrong?

Aang stared at the sky for a minute then said. "GON's alive"

The next morning

Aang: I'm telling you all he's alive.

Sokka: Aang we all saw him go under he's gone.

Aang: no he may have gone under but it doesn't mean he drowned he's alive somewhere near by and we have to find him.

Katara: Aang we can't just rush off Appa is still weak from that hog-scorpion's venom and needs time to recover.

Aang: I know I just thought we could find him before we have to leave.

Meanwhile

GON was playing with the wolf-cat cubs.

He tossed them up on his head and let them slide down his back.

Or he would tag one and let it chase him around.

The mother watched them play with a smile on her face.

The cubs scrambled over GON and he jumped up and down.

Then he remembered about Aang.

After the cubs curled up to their mother for a nap GON slipped away and began searching for Aang and the others.

GON: I have no idea where I'm going. He found himself in the middle of a large pool of water with large pink birds, most standing on one foot.

He imitated them trying to stand on one foot. He lost balance and fell over.

The pink birds all laughed at him.

GON stood up and tried again this time not losing his balance.

He watched them pluck shrimp and prawn out of the water and did the same.

GON: mm shrimp. He continued on his search.

Later

Now he was swinging through the trees with some hog-monkeys he even imitated their howls.

One of the hog-monkeys hung upside down from its tail.

GON hung upside down next to it.

Some time later

GON was sitting in a Giant eagles aerie with the eagle chicks.

When the mother came home with a giant fish they all cawed mouths open.

They all tore the fish to pieces.

More time later

GON was running with a herd of wild ostrich-horses.

He jumped on to one's back and caught a free ride.

More time later (monotonous isn't it?)

GON was now having a staring contest with a dragon nether was willing to let the other win.

Both history and mythology were sweating bullets and then…the dragon blinked.

GON jumped up and down roaring his victory.

Back to the Avatar group

Aang: Appa are you okay boy?

Appa's breath was shallow and his eyes were dilated.

The puncture had turned a disgusting purple color.

Katara: how's he doing?

Aang: not so good.

Sokka came running into camp with a bunch of plants.

Sokka: I found some herbs that cure ice-scorpion stings.

Katara: how do we know ice scorpions have the same venom as hog-scorpions?

Sokka: We don't maybe it'll work their both scorpions after all.

Aang smelled the herbs.

Aang: phew slime roots and burn grass yuck.

Sokka: like it or not you have to get Appa to eat these and get something cold on the puncture wound to reduce the swelling.

While Aang tried to get Appa to eat the herbs Katara froze some water on the wound.

It took a while but Aang finally got Appa to eat the herbs.

Appa: Maarrgh. His face turned sour.

Aang: eat it boy it'll help you get better.

Appa begrudgingly swallowed the herbs and gagged.

Katara: now all we can do is wait. She sat next to Aang.

Aang was staring at the ice covering the puncture and noticed it was no longer purple.

Aang: I think its working look Appa's wound isn't swollen anymore.

Katara looked up at the wound and saw that it was healing.

(Sorry I forgot that Katara could heal for a minute ha, ha, ha)

Even as they watched the wound closed and healed over.

Appa yawned and closed his eye falling asleep.

Katara: he'll be just fine now.

Kali: Mew. She snuggled up against Aang.

Aang patted her on the head.

Aang: I can sleep easier now. He took a deep breath then exhaled.

Back to GON

GON was now in a prairie dog borrow moving through a lot of tunnels.

He poked his head out of the hole with two prairie dogs sitting on his head.

All of sudden there was a loud barking and all the prairie dogs and GON ducked back into the hole.

A saber-toothed moose-lion was coming over the hill looking very hungry.

GON poked his head up and the moose-lion pounced; but GON pulled his head in too quick.

It went on like that for a while GON pokes his head up, moose-lion pounces and GON pulls his head in.

Eventually GON stopped poking his head out.

The moose-lion looked into one of the holes only to be greeted by GON and several angry prairie dogs.

They pulled it's head into the hole up to it's neck, then down to it's middle, then they threw it out of the hole and it ran away with it's tail between its legs.

GON pulled out of the hole and walked on.

Avatar gang

Aang was practicing fire bending.

He bends it into several different shapes like cat, dog, and dragon.

And with relative ease puts out the flames and restarts them.

He was more careful this time a while ago due to his carelessness he had burned Katara.

Aang: I won't do that again. He puts the flames out again.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Aang spun around to see Azula leaning against a tree.

Azula: I see Zu-Zu has taught you a few tricks but has he taught you how to fight.

She threw a jet of blue fire at him, which he redirected to fly back at her.

She caught it and threw it back he made it dissipate.

Azula: don't bother running my friends are taking care of you're friends even as we speak.

Aang's face went pale and he tried to run back to camp only to be cut off by Azula.

Azula: you're not going anywhere until I'm done with you. And she attacked using her hands covered with flames.

Aang jumped back Zuko had taught him how to do these moves and tried it against her.

When their hands hit the fires hissed and smoked.

Azula: so you can fight how interesting. She said in a mock seductive tone.

Aang: more then I can say for you. The fire on his hands turned blue too.

They pushed away from each other.

Azula did her arm movements her hands sparked with electricity and then she fired lightning at Aang.

Aang barely managed to drop onto his back as the bolt grazed the top of his forehead.

Meanwhile

Katara: did you guys hear that?

Sokka: yup sounds like lightning some dry season.

Toph: that wasn't a natural bolt of lightning it was to close to the ground. Then she felt the presence of others hiding just out of sight.

Toph: Ambush! She lifted a rock and threw it where she felt the movement of the intruders.

Katara got ready for a fight and Sokka got out his club and boomerang.

And three daggers came flying out of the trees at Sokka.

He blocked then using his club and then threw his boomerang where they came from; it never came back.

Through the trees the attackers weaved and hid from sight.

Toph threw another rock at the trees feeling more movement.

Then there was another thunderclap followed by lightning.

Meanwhile

GON was sure this time that bolt wasn't natural it had come from some kind of source and maybe his friends were at that source.

He ran moving like a train knocking down trees and smashing threw rocks.

Back to Aang

Aang touched the spot where the lightning had grazed his arm; it hurt a lot.

Azula: Well I expected the Avatar to be more of a challenge now that you've learned to master the elements.

Aang was not weak he was just holding back if he went too far he might kill her and a killer is the last thing he wanted to be.

Azula readied for another volley of lightning and when she fired Aang wasn't ready for it and just as the lightning was about to hit Aang Square in the face. Kraboom!

Aang opened his eyes and looked down; GON was standing there his scales turned red and slowly turning back to orange.

GON: Now that was close.

Aang: GON you're Alive I knew it. He readied to hug him.

GON: Don't touch me there's still electricity surging through my body and if you touch me you'll get zapped.

Aang froze just above GON's head.

Azula stared in disbelief.

Azula: How did you survive I drowned you!

GON: Ha did you think a little flash flood was going to drown me please I've been through worse.

GON put on his glare and stamps his foot.

Azula: you (graagh!) fine whatever I give up I'm going. She backed away slowly and disappeared into the trees.

GON took a deep breath and yawned which released sparks from his mouth.

GON: good now my body is safe to touch.

Aang: well I must say that had to be a shocking experience.

GON stared at him, there was a big awkward silence followed by a.

Voice in the background: Cough!

Aang: okay never mind. He smiled brightly then he remembered the others.

Aang: Katara and the others are in trouble. He ran back to camp with GON right behind him.

When he got there the place was in shambles and Appa though unhurt was passed out on the ground and Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Mo-mo were gone.

Aang: what happened here Ty Lee and Mai couldn't have done this alone.

GON looked around and sniffed the ground and examined every detail.

GON: they weren't alone they were a diversion to the real problem.

Flashback

Toph was throwing a lot of earth into the trees while Katara and Sokka stood ready for whatever they were facing.

None of them knew that they were being lured away from the real danger.

Present

GON: their backs were turned as the (sniff, sniff) smells like a hound and a shrew put together.

Aang: June and her shirshu. He realized with a start.

GON: then they were hit by some paralyzing neurotoxins.

Flashback

Toph felt something coming up behind them; she spun around but was whipped across the neck by the shirshu's tongue.

When Katara heard the whiplash she spun around but was also whipped by the tongue then Sokka was soon whipped and paralyzed.

Present

GON: Appa tried to help but the shir-shew was to swift and he too was soon paralyzed.

Aang: which way did they go?

GON sniffed around and licked the grass and even jumped into the trees.

GON: I'm sorry they must have covered their tracks after they captured the others I can't track them.

Aang's face showed despair.

GON: Now I'll have none of that.

Aang snapped back to normal.

GON: you can't just give up we may not be able to track them but that is no excuse to give up, and further more you're the Avatar you don't have the luxury of giving up.

Aang: your right GON even though all seems hopeless we can still get our friends back I mean look I got Appa when I lost him but I got him back.

GON: Now that's what I'm talking about now see if you can wake Appa while I look for some clues as to where they've gone.

Aang: Appa wake up boy come on wake up. He shook Appa awake.

Appa stuck out his tongue and licked Aang covering his in drool.

GON checked every thing and found a scroll with the fire nation seal on it.

GON: Aang I found something.

Aang flew over.

Aang: what is it? He looked at the scroll unrolled it and examined it.

Aang looked away from the scroll and said. "Its from Azula she wants us to meet them at Dead Mountain before sundown."

GON: what's Dead Mountain?

Aang: an inactive volcano. He dropped the scroll and got on Appa.

GON: so any chance of an eruption? He got up on Appa.

Aang: I don't know to tell you the truth.

GON: sounds like fun.

Aang: Appa yip, yip. Appa flew into the sky and Aang steered him toward Dead Mountain.
