Avatar, OOO and the Bird Chapter two

(Time for the second instalment of Sokka's Journey to be the new multiform king, OOO.

I own nothing –sigh-)

::Chapter Two Start::

Southern Air temple-Aang's old home-an hour after the events of last chapter.

It had taken the Gaang plus one, twenty minutes to reach the main court yard of the temple, where before Aang could run off to give the group the grand tour, Ankh had shouted, "We rest first, Sokka fought two Yummies he needs to recover." Kitara had asked what he was talking about only for Ankh to reply with, "Hope fully you will never know."

Ankh had then spent the next hour leaning back on Appa's back appearing to nap, while Sokka rested in his sleeping bag and Kitara had searched their packs for food and found none while Aang had spent the whole hour fidgeting in excitement.

Once the hour had past Aang spoke, "Come on, I want to show you all, the place I grow up."

Sokka's stomach rumbled before he spoke, "I need food first," as he stared towards the ancient burnt trees.

Aang smiled and says, "There should be food at the temple," and led Kitara and Sokka towards the temple path, when he realises that Ankh is still on Appa, "Are you coming Ankh?"

"If you have seen one destroyed village, you have seen them all," Ankh replied, confusing Aang and before he could ask what he meant, Kitara dragged him away.

Sokka stayed behind and asked quickly, "What happened to you?"

Ankh opened his eyes and says, "The last Yummy I ever made, destroyed and entire village so that one man could live longer," Ankh said no more as he yawned and went to sleep. Sokka then ran off to catch up to Aang and his sister.

Ankh's Dream

After he closed his eyes Ankh began to do what had been impossible for him in the past, he began to dream.

He sees a hallway filled with paintings and fire nation soldiers and servants walking along their faces blurs. He walks forward until he hears the sound of crying, the crying of a young girl.

'Ankh' walks to a set of doors and opened them to the sight a girl no older than four trembling and quickly rubbing the tears from her face before turning to the now opened door. Ankh looked at her hand before the doors closed softly behind them and an eight year old Hidori walked through him with his cane.

"What happened to your hand?" Hidori questioned in concern, as if talking to a loved one.

"Nothing, my trainers made a mistake," the girl spoke before Hidori patted her head and says, "Azula, everyone one makes mistakes, its how we learn and improve ourselves."

Azula snorted and says, "I am a princess of the Fire Nation, I do not make mistakes."

Hidori can be seen sighing before he speaks again, "Zuko is the prince and he makes mistakes."

Azula smiled and says, "That is because he is dumb."

Hidori then pulled her into a head lock and says, "I am a boy, who has been tutoring you for the academy, am I a dumb boy."

Azula did everything to pull herself out of the head lock, but was over powered by Hidori. Azula then questioned him, "Was uncle Iroh like this to you?"

Hidori smiled and says, "No, he is more the type to talk down the issue," he then lets Azula go and says, "Come I want to show you something." Azula nodded and she used her uninjured hand to hold his hand that was not being used to use a cane. Ankh was pulled along by an invisible force, as he watched the smiles on Hidori and Azulas' faces, reminding him of his older 'brother.'

Ankh starts to wonder what has caused this delusion, when they reach the garden Ankh sees that it is night time. Hidori then whistles a tune and says, "You know Fire Eagles are red?" Azula nods in agreement before Hidori adds "Well have you ever heard of a blue Fire Eagle?" Azula shakes her head in the negative. That was when said type of Blue Fire Eagle arrived and landed on Azula's shoulder. "Azula meet Blue," the bird cawed. (It is an American Eagle but instead of brown and white, they are red and black, in Blue's case blue and black.)

Ankh looked at the bird as it opened its wings to reveal a shades of blue in the shape of upside down fire.

Azula then asked, "Why is he blue?" the bird then pecked her head.

"Blue is a girl," Hidori laughed at Azula glaring at the bird, "Azula, I want you to promise me," Azula looked at him confused as he says, "Promise me, when you become a great Fire Bender, not to fight in anger, and take unnecessary risks with lives."

"But I am a princess?" Azula argued before Hidori bopped her head.

Hidori sighs and says, "Because you are the princess, you need to show restraint and honour. If you use your bending as a way to get whatever you want it will result in not only your downfall but the nations."

"Really?" Azula questioned.

Hidori sat on the ground and crosses his legs with some effort and asks, "What is Fire?"

Azula sat in front of him, crossing her legs as well and answers, "Power."

Hidori bops her head with his cane and says, "Fire can cause both destruction and rebirth," as she clutched her head, she looked at him in confusion, "Fire can destroy a forest, but in time the forest will returned stronger than before," Azula appeared to realise what he meant. Hidori then speaks, "Create a small fire between your hands, only make it small and focus on the fire."Ankh watched as the bird moved to Hidori's shoulder and watched the two. Hidori then asks, "How do you feel?"

Azula's face scrunched up and she says, "I feel warm and tight," the flame flickered.

Hidori smiles and says, "Relax, if you become to tense you could hurt yourself or even those close to you."

Azula opened her eyes and says, "The only one close to me is you."

Hidori smiles and says, "Only because your father is a jerk, he doesn't even realise what he needs to even be eligible to become the Fire Lord."

"Like What?" Azula questioned.

"There is laws and rules to be the Fire lord," Hidori spoke, "You need to either join the military or prove that you can lead the nation in a time of crisis, but above all you need to show that you hold those attributes to the Fire lord before you."

"So I just need to prove my amazingness to Gramps," Azula smiled before being bopped again.

Hidori spoke, "Azula, you are four years old," confusing Azula, "You may be a fire bender, but you will need experience both in bending, and leading those around you."

"How do I get experience?" Azula questioned with the innocence of a child.

Hidori smiled, "Time and patience."

-CAW!- Anhk hears the sound of a large bird behind him, he turned to see a blue phoenix that attacked him.

Southern Air temple-Appa's saddle-an hour later.

Ankh awoke with a start as he felt a pinch on his cheek he sat up and looked at his discomfort to see the same Blue Fire Eagle from his dream. It jumped up to his shoulder and began to 'sing' a comforting song. Ankh then hears Appa snoring and then decides to find the others.

Zuko's Warship-A thousand kilometres away from the Southern Air Temple.

Zuko's Warship had finally left the fog surrounding the island, and to the surprise of the whole crew that were not injured, found themselves off the shores to the very island they were heading to begin with. The boat reached the docks without hassle, and once the entire boat was hooked up next to the regular/larger sized ships.

Zuko and Iroh walked off of their ship, from the front gang plank. They walked towards the market of the island while ten of Zuko's crew had decided to quit due to the two monster attacks. If they had looked to the sky they would see the flying red ship fly into a cloud, followed by a green speck falling to the ground further inland.

Iroh spoke, "The ship needs to be repaired before we can continue our journey," in his hand was Hidori's cane being used as a cane.

Zuko stomped forward and says, "I don't want anyone talking about our targets."

Iroh snorted and says, "We were attacked by two strange creatures and the-"

Zuko interrupted him, "Don't say his name, we don't want anyone to know what happened."

"General Iroh," a fire nation captain spoke as he reached the pair, "I am Captain Zhoa, the Captain of this island port," Zhoa looked to Zuko's boat and says "What happened to your ship?"

Zuko got in front of his uncle and says, "We crashed into an Ice berg."

"Yes," Iroh began to speak, "and I just hope my son is okay."

"Didn't your son die at the battle of Ba-sing-sa?" Zhoa questioned.

Iroh glared at the captain and says, "I lost my oldest during that siege, not my youngest."

Zhoa then replied with, "Well I am sure he is an amazing Fire Bender."

Zuko then spoke, "Hidori is not a fire Bender. Please excuse us, we need to find an engineering team to fix my boat," he and Zuko tried to leave.

Zhoa then stepped in front of them and says, "Please join me for some tea and you can regal me with how your search of the Avatar has progressed."

Zuko and Iroh looked to him in suspicion before Iroh smiled in a disarming manor and says, "We would be happy to, after we find someone to fix our boat."

"I would be happy to organise for my engineers to repair your ship," Zhoa replied before adding, "I recently received jasmine tea."

Iroh smiled and says, "We would be happy to join you for tea," having an idea of what he wanted.

Southern Air temple-Air ball grounds. (Ankh's point of view)

Ankh and Blue on his shoulder walked through the graveyard in his eyes, until he finds Wan, Sokka and the annoying girl. What He found when he saw them was Sokka getting his butt kicked with a straw ball that would spin due to Wan's air bending, where Sokka was launched off the high poles.

"Oi!" Ankh spoke, "What the hell are you doing? If Sokka is injured I am using you to fight Yummies!"

Wan froze at that while Kitara glared at him, while Sokka found a helmet, that he showed Kitara before Kitara buried Sokka and the red helmet under a pile of snow. Ankh stared at the girl and shakes his head as she managed to trick Wan.

Wan then remembered the past and started walking to the main Hall. "Aang? Where are you going?"

Wan smiled and says, "There is someone I am ready to meet."

The group went into the main hall before heading towards the back of the room to reveal a large circular art work made of pipes fashioned into swirls. Wan spoke about meeting someone who could help him, but Sokka took it as aged meats and tried to bite his way in, until Wan stopped him and proceeded to open the doors with gusts of air from his hands. The gift of the elements, another ability that he pitied humans for, they only had access to the element of their village's 'home,' while he had the both fire and flight in his prime. Bending as the humans' call it was really just them imitating nature for their greed in his eyes.

Once Wan had opened the door the four plus one bird, that Sokka had decided to ask about finally and Ankh simply says, "I like it," as they enter the vault. What they find inside was a swirl of statues that appeared to be dressed in a pattern similar to what he has seen of the humans of this era, but to him they are all the same, "You really have an over the top ego, Wan."

Wan looked at Ankh in confusion before he asks, "Why do you call me Wan? My name is Aang."

"Whatever Wan, whatever," Ankh replied not caring about names, while Blue cawed in annoyance.

The girl then looked at the blue birds back and saw a messenger pack on it. She removed the letter after appeasing the bird with a seaweed roll she still had from her Gran-gran as Sokka shouts about it. The girl then reads aloud, "Dear Hidori, I have been well, Father has instructed me to increase my pace in my fire bending teachings from Lee and Loo, but truly they their lessons are truly coring compared to your lessons and knowledge. I question why I should learn from non-benders that are not you, but father was insistent that I learn from them. Father has shown no desire for Zuko to return home and everything else is the same as always, I have considered that I should have joint you on your journey and see the world but I have yet to find a way to see it. From your home, Azula."

Ankh had seem to not pay attention before he focused on the girl and takes the letter and reads it himself.

Wan then spoke, "So your Body's name is Hidori but who is Azula?"

Ankh speaks, "How should I know, all I know is this body will be dead if I separate from him," before he looked at a random statue.

Sokka had apparently seen a shadow behind them, and pulls Ankh behind the statues as the shadow became longer. Sokka then made a complex plan before the three humans jumped out from behind the statues and Wan shouts, "LEMUR!" before Sokka shouted, "Dinner!" what followed next was the two chasing the small white bat lemur out of the temple.

The girl looks to Ankh as he sat on the ground while Blue pecked at Hidori's satchel. The girl then says, "What are you going to do about the letter?"

Ankh remained silent before he looks at the girl and says, "You should probably go to Wan," that was all he said before the statues began to glow as Ankh scanned Hidori's mind to find out about the girl 'Azula.'

What he found was memories of concern, sadness, regrets and love of a sibling, but one memory stands out, Hidori apparently had asked the girl Azula, to join him, her brother and uncle to see the world. Where she was going to join them but had changed her choice suddenly. Ankh removed his hand from Hidori's fore head while Blue looked him in the eyes. He opened the Satchel on his waist as the ground began to shake, and removes the pad with the different images Hidori had drawn over the last three years, he picked one with waterfalls and groups of different birds and wrote a short message. 'Do what you want to do.' Before rolling up the parchment and placing it in the bird's messenger pack. Once the pack was closed the bird flew out the temple. Ankh waited for the mountain to stop moving before heading to meet with Sokka, Wan and the girl.

What he found was a crater with bone dust flowing into the wind. Wan then asked a simply question, "You have never been here before, but you knew that people had died as soon as we arrived. How?"

Ankh looked him in the eyes and says, "Before us Greeed were sealed, I created a yummy that straight up destroyed a whole civilisation before it could grow, all because of one human's desire to live." Ankh then walked back to Appa, leaving the three teens to talk about what he had said.

Once he reached Appa he jumped up to his saddle and began to nap in his spot at the rear of the saddle. Where he went to sleep and view more memories of his host's past.

Fire Nation Port under the command of Captain Zhoa-Edge of the market

Uva travelled towards the largest collection of 'desire' he could feel. It was times like these that he had Ankh's ability to see desire. Uva needed to get within thirty feet to find those with the necessary amount of desire, but even then he needed physical contact to learn what they desire. The process is a hassle as he needed to be unnoticed and from his experience humans were dumb when noticing oddities, due to all the spirits flying around.

Unfortunately for Uva, the spirits have been gone for centuries, a young child spotted him and got their mother to look in his general direction. Once the woman screamed, the entire market was evacuated, before fire Nation Soldiers arrived and blasted Uva with fire. Uva tanks the fire and continues to move forward.

Zhoa's mansion (After being taken from the forming tenants)

Zhoa had spent the best part of the day distracting Zuko and Iroh, by listening to their stories and even speaking of what new has happened in the Fire Nation that he was allowed to speak of, mainly comments about Sozin's comet and Ba-Sing-Se being conquered by then. Unfortunately for Zuko, Zhoa only spoke to Iroh who happily drank the offered tea, and only listened to every third or fourth word, which was enough for Iroh to make his next comment.

"Well my father had felt that to truly conquer we should not expect to use a magical rock to achieve a victory in the eyes of the Fire Nation," Iroh's word were filled with wisdom and subtle insult.

Zhoa smiled and says, "Well once Ba-Sing-Se is taken we will have control of the entire Earth kingdom and its people."

"You will control a single city, on the largest continent of the world," Iroh countered, "Filled with people who can literally reshape the Earth. Even if the Fire Nation can get in the first wall again, they will have to pass another three walls to reach the palace."

Zhoa smirked and says, "Not unless the Fire Nation has developed the tool they need to achieve the task."

"You mean that over the top corkscrew, they have been building since my failure, seven years ago," Iroh spoke with an annoyed tone, "I had my forces guarding the first wall with a two mile open fertile terrain, officially cutting Ba-Sing-Se from the rest of the kingdom. All that stupid drill will do, will be to waste time and resources on a small chance of success," he placed his tea cup on the table.

Zhoa then decided to be superior, "Just because you failed, does not mean that the Fire Lord's plan will."

Iroh stands and says with a smile, "I have seen what the army of Ba-Sing-Se are able to achieve with their bending, when they work together," Iroh turns to the fuming Zuko and says, "It is getting late, Zuko and myself should return to Zuko's ship, We will need to purchase supplies before we head out to find my son."

Zuko stands and silently thanks his uncle for the quick getaway, only to be stopped by Zhoa's men. Zuko glared at the captain and demands, "Why aree your men stopping us?"

Zhoa smirks at Zuko as one of his men arrives and informs him, "Sir, we interrogated his crew, apparently a few of them have quit. They said the damage was caused by an Air bender. They also talked about strange creatures that attacked them on an abandoned island," the man seemed winded.

Zhoa laughed and says, "Please the Avatar I can believe but monsters, that is just ridiculous."

Iroh then replied with, "Belief is what you see, and I saw a spirit possess my son before he could die from the injures these 'imaginary' monsters gave him." The word Imaginary was so sarcastic that you could smack Zhoa with it.

The soldier who informed Zhoa could be seen sweating as he says, "Ah sir, one of the creatures that Zuko's former crew members spoke of, is currently attack the island with lightning and our fire bending appears to be unable to injure it."

Zhoa then gave orders, "I want to speak with these two, keep them here until I get back."

Zhoa then left the manor as Iroh and Zuko took their seats as the gurads started to look nervous. Iroh spoke to them, "You have no need to panic, it has been good to see you all again since Ba-Sing-Se, perhaps you can all tell me what you have been up to while one of you gets that engineering crew that Zhoa never supplied to fix our ship," Iroh then turned to his 'Nephew' and says, "And could someone get my Nephew some candles so that he can work on some breathing exercises so that he does not burn this lovely home down." The guards did just that.

With Zhoa

Zhoa had leisurely walked to the market where he see Uva just sitting on a rock in a thinking pose after giving up on fighting back against the weak humans. Zhoa looks at Uva and then shouted, "Hold your fire!" the benders held their fire but stayed ready. Zhoa then spoke, "I am surprised that there are any spirits still in the world."

Uva snorted and says, "I am no spirit," he jumps off the rock and says, "You humans, have changed, from freezing in fear to straight up telling everyone. I guess I need to find a new way."

Zhoa then offered his hand to Uva and says, "I am Zhoa of the Fire Nation, I hope you can enlighten us with your name."

Uva glared at the hand before accepting the shake and says, "I am Uva," he then raised his hand holding a silver cell medal that Zhoa recognised from a past journey, "You have a lot of desire." He then through the medal into the slot that appeared on Zhoa's forehead, before a grey creature that looked like a cycloptic mummy, before it transformed into a green butterfly and flew away. Uva sighed as he realised what he needed to do now, "Damn," he then jumped away from the benders.

Zhoa rubbed his chin before he headed to his manor. What followed to the next day was, a duel between Zhoa and Zuko which resulted in Zuko winning against Zhoa, with Zuko showing mercy. Mercy that angered Zhoa into attacking Zuko from behind, only for his fire to be literally blown out like a candle by Iroh, before Iroh gave an speech about Zhoa's weakness. Iroh and Zuko stayed the night where they managed to hire a small crew to manage Zuko's warship.

With Aang and his friends-Village on island of flowers-The next day.

After the 'disappointment' of the Southern Air Temple, the group rode Appa with Aang's new pet lemur, Momo. The lemur had literally saved Sokka, when the little flyer brought him food, even though Sokka had tried to catch him to eat. Ankh just stared at the lemur when it decided to sit on his stomach and just stared at Ankh. Eventually Ankh scared the little lemur off using his Greeed hand to get the animal to jump off.

Once they reached the next island on their journey, Aang and Kitara had spent the short walk to town from the outskirts to smell the individual types of flowers they had past. Ankh filled his pack with cell medals and a couple of the red silver cylinders and a couple of the black and gold boxes. It took them an hour to reach the village the path they walked along was short and should have taken them less than five minutes. Instead Sokka had to have Momo rest on his shoulder licking himself with Ankh standing next to him.

"Wan is still an idiot," Ankh says once he sees the young air bender smell another set of flowers he had already smelled further back.

Sokka just took it in stride and says, "Yeah he is," and with that he grabbed the back of Aang's shirt and says, "We are here for supplies, so let's get them before you decide to get them before we sniff the roses."

Kitara glared at Sokka and says, "We just got here."

Ankh snorted and says, "An hour ago you dumb girl, we need food to replace the food Wan used as kindling, medical supplies."

Sokka looked at Aang and says, "Yeah, I can understand the food but why do we need medical supplies?"

"Those who play with fire are chasing you," Ankh simply spoke.

Aang then says, "But with my Airbending I can deflect their fire."

Ankh sighed and says, "I meant for Sokka, because he only gets the core medals for when I sense a Yummy," and then walks towards the village.

Sokka becomes shocked before he says, "Why can't I use the medals to train or defend myself?"

"I still don't know what you are talking about!" Kitara shouts before Ankh freezes.

Ankh pulls out the three base medals, "Sokka, Yummy!" at which a butterfly yummy flew down and tackled Aang to the ground. Ankh threw the medals to Sokka, who caught two, dropped one before picking it up and attaching his belt.

Ankh grabbed the butterfly yummy and throws it back, Kitara stood between Sokka and the Butterfly monster. Sokka activated the Power of OOO, as Kitara used her water bending to stop the Butterfly, only to freeze Sokka in place as he transformed.

-TAKA! TORA! BATTA! Tatoba Tatoba Tatoba!- Sokka transformed into OOO in his default form, but was stuck.

Sokka looked down and shouts, "Kitara! Really!" Kitara looked towards OOO to see him use the tigerclaws to smash the ice before jumping over Kitara and charging towards the butterfly. OOO managed to slash its body a couple times before it flew away. OOO tried to jump to it, but it was too quick and was beyond his range before he could get it. He then crashed landed.

Aang sporting a bruised cheek from getting tackled asks Ankh a question, "Why did it attack me?"

Ankh looked to Aang and says, "Yummies are made from desire, Clearly Uva found someone who wants you either dead or worst captured."

OOO removed the medals and transformed back into Sokka and just layed on the groud and spoke up, "How are we going to get that thing? Because unless you have, a medal that can make me fly, I have no idea what to do."

Ankh remained silent and says, "Hold on to those three medals, don't lose them while you protect Wan. I need to get some things from my chest," and with that Ankh walks back towards Appa.

Sokka looked towards Appa, before turning towards Aang and says, "Come on Aang, lets' get those supplies."

Kitara then says, "Go I need to check something," with that she ran towards Appa.

Aang scratches his head and asks, "Whats with Kitara?"

Sokka looked to Aang and says, "Let's see, with have a possessed member of the fire nation, possessed by what appears to be a bird spirit. We told her what Ankh spoke of on the island city that is on no world map. You were attacked by a monster that can fly and I transformed into a weird three part suit, where each part gives me a different ability. Even with you sleeping for about a century in an ice cube, until now she probably thought us crazier."

Aang nods at the logic before the two head into the town, where Aang asked his next question, "How are we going to get our supplies?" They continued to walk as Sokka tapped his chin with a couple Cell medals he collected from the Butterfly. If they had looked behind them they would have seen a black individual with the head of a horned wolf before a leaf falls from a nearby tree, before the 'man' vanishes.

With Appa.

Ankh returns to Appa, and jumps to the back of Appa's saddle with the grace of a bird, before opening his weightless chest. He then took out a couple Black and Gold boxes with circle designs, along with a couple more silver cylinders with light blue paint. The last thing he pulls out of the chest was the strange crossbow like object. He removes the clear handle on the bottom of the device, before scooping a portion of cell medals from the chest, before flipping the container upside down into the device at the back of the gun before returning the clear container to the bottom of the device.

He jumps down after closing the chest, and finds Kitara standing in front of him. Kitara then asks what could be the most important question since finding Aang, "What did you do to my brother?"

Ankh looks at the girl and says, "When Wan woke me up, I found myself only able to reform as an hand," to illustrate he showed off his red bird design arm, "Sokka looked to be the best source of help I found and I gave him the power to help me." He then tried to walk to the village.

Only for Kitara stopping him, "He doesn't have bending and is a terrible warrior. Why give him this responsibility? Aang would have been the best choice!"

In response Ankh shouts back, "Then last Wielder of OOO was a 'bender' and I spent almost ten thousand years in darkness. Wan was there when it happened and he and Zen broke their promise to me. He is lucky I don't burn him to death, but without him I would still be in that pillar of desire," before Kitara could make a counter argument they heard explosions coming from the village.

Ankh looked to village as Kitara ran to Appa, Ankh took one of the black and gold boxes as Kitara ditched him, before he presses a hidden button on the box and throws the box forward where it opened and increased in size and gained two wheels. He the Straddled the strange device and placed a black head cover over his head before shooting forward with the sounds of combustion.

Village of Island of Flowers-Twenty minutes earlier.

Aang and Sokka walked through the village, it didn't take them long to find a doctor who would sell them some medical supplies, mainly bandages and ointments for bruises. They even managed to buy an orange beanie for Aang from the doctor. All it cost them was five cell medals, of the ten Sokka got from striking that Yummy.

With the medical supplies and the hat situation sorted, Sokka went to the area of the market that sold cured meats. Aang complains, "Why are we getting just meat?"

Sokka replies with, "Well I like meat, and frankly fruits and vegetables will weigh Appa down too much if we buy enough to feed us until our next stop."

Aang looked to Sokka and nods his head before he questions, "So what was it like wearing that snappy suit?"

Sokka looked to the young old avatar and says, "Amazing and scary. I felt powerful but venerable. In control but one mistake away from losing that control. Like I could do anything but nothing."

"That is to be expected," the voice came from above them but the two never saw who spoke all they saw was a black blur race off faster then the two could follow, before the Butterfly returned to attack Aang.

Aang saw the Yummy coming and did a side flip to avoid the attempt to grab him.

-TAKA! TORA! BATTA! Tatoba! Tatoba! Tatoba!- OOO then charged forward as many of the surrounding villagers coward away from creature airborn attacks. He extended his tiger claws and got in front of Aang as the creature tried to capture him again. The butterfly was spooked by OOO after losing another twenty cell medals. Aang collected the coins before Appa rammed into the butterfly causing himself and the Yummy to collapse to the ground below, with Appa belly flopping on the ground in a daze. The Yummy stood and flew away as OOO reached him.

The butterfly managed to get beyond OOO's reach before a gold disk hit its side damaging the Yummy's wing. The source was Ankh riding a strange vehicle that he stops in front of OOO and says, "I'll knock it down, You destroy it," raising the disk launching device. The Butterfly returned and Ankh shot the Yummy's wing again as it tried to get an advantage. Once Ankh ran out of disks, the butterfly began to fly away, before it's damaged wing suddenly shredded itself causing the Yummy to fall to the ground.

OOO took the gold disk from his belt and scanned the three medals. –Scanning Charge: TAKA TORA BATTA- OOO's armour jumped into the sky before three rings matching the three core medal. OOO then shot through the rings with glowing red wings and shot down to the Yummy and destroyed the Yummy.

Ankh activated the silver cylinders allowing for red birds and light blue octopuses collected all of the cell medals. While OOO deformed back to Sokka, who asks Ankh, "So what are those," gesturing to Ankh's stead, animals and strange weapon.

Ankh says, "This is a Ridevendor, it can build those Canroids and supply transportation," he gets off the ridevendor and turns the vehicle back into a box while the canroids drop the cell medals that Aang didn't collect. Ankh then examined the device in his hand before shooting a last cell at the ground stopping Aang from collecting another cell medal, "This is a Cell Buster," before he opened the clear container and poured the contents of used Cell medals onto the ground, which shattered into dust.

Ankh looks around at the cowering villagers, before turning away and walking towards Appa. Aang then asks, "Why did you kill it?"

Ankh just laughed and says, "You are implying that it was alive to begin with. When a Yummy has completed its task it turns into a pile of medals. They obsess in achieving the original desire. Whoever was used to make it clearly was a coward with a fleeting personality."

Sokka then says, "Come on, we still need to get food for the road," Sokka then turned to find one of the villages guards holding a spear to his chest, "Unless we get held up by the local Earth kingdom soldiers," as he raises his arms.

Along with Kitara and Aang, but Ankh slapped the spear out of his face, It took the soldiers poking the dizzy Appa over with little effort. Appa growned in pain from his head on collision with essentially a solid flying block of metal compressed to the size of an average human.

Aang then shouts, "Don't hurt my friend."

Kitara then calmly but angry asks, "What do you want."

"I just wanted to invite you all to dinner," Came the voice arrogance and gluttony of a literally the fattest man the gang will ever see, "Where are my manners, I am lord Broth owner of the island."

Ankh while lying on his back simply says, "Then why attack us with spears?"

Lord Broth says, "Well I wanted to speak with you about a business deal," he eyes Appa in hunger.

Ankh simply says, "Aang, He wants to eat your bison."

Aang spun his staff forcing all of Lord Broth's guards to be launched back and Aang saying one word, "No," with that Appa recovered enough to walk away with Aang out of the village.

Sokka and Kitara glared at Lord Broth before they went with Ankh to follow Aang. Eventually Lord Broth's guards recovered, where Lord Broth gave them orders, "I want you all to get me that tasty Bison."

Lord Bison then went back to his home while all the people looked to be starving while Lord Broth's guards started taking the food from the market.

Greed Air ship-Above Island of Flowers.

Uva looked over the railing with Mezool and Gamel standing beside him, Uva then speaks, "My Yummy has been destroyed."

Kazari parks the airship and says, "That means Ankh is on this island," Kazari laughed and jumps on the rail, "I think I am going to have words with our big brother," before he jumps of the airship hidden in the clouds.

Gamel watches Kazari fall and says, "Should we help him?" while Mezool stops the heavy Greeed from jumping off as well.

Uva shook his head and says, "Let him go, we need to find a way to travel without dealing with the humans' and their armies."

Mezool looked to Uva and says, "That never stopped you before."

Uva looked at his hand and says, "I say we should avoid a confrontation with the humans until we know Ankh's intentions and how much the humans have changed."

Mezool was surprised from this as she says, "You have changed normally you would be extremely angry."

Uva grunted and says, "Well, I may not be as smart as Ankh or Kazari, but I defiantly understand the importance of having a plan," Uva looked to his right hand and laughed before transforming into a human. (What he looks like in OOO, but wearing a green version of the Fire Nation uniform.) Uva laughed and says, "Ankh may be just a hand but clearly has the easier method to find those with the right desire."

Gamel's body language appeared to indicate that his mouth was open in shock. Mezool looked at him and nods in agreement as she transformed into a girl wearing a blue dress, before Gamel looked at her and then transformed into human man with a grey coat and began speaking to Mezool giving her compliments and hoping to receive praise.

Uva smiled and says, "Let's not tell Kazari about this," confusing Gamel but getting Mezool's human disguise to smirk before she and Uva transformed back into their Greeed forms, but Gamel needed to be assisted by Mezool.

Lord Broth's Castle

Kazari landed silently in the back courtyard, which was surprisingly unguarded. He notices movement to the side and sees thirty guards surrounding a large locked wooden door in the side of a cliff. Kazari then asks himself, "Why are they guarding a fridge?"

Kazari then hears shouting and heads for the elevated panoramic windows to see a man gorging himself while shouting at a man who apparently tried to steal his food. Of course that was a distraction as some of the Guards and servants stealing the man's food from behind him. Kazari stares at the fat 'king/warlord/shogun' and raises a cell medal and throughs it through the glass. The glass shattered before the cell medal entered Lord Broth's body, as grey bandages cover his body Kazari makes himself scares and stayed out of sight. Once the bandages were absorbed into Lord Broth's body, he licked his lips and started to devour all of the food on the table. When the guards tried to stop him, only to be thrown into walls and through windows, where all the servants and Guards ran away in panic, except for the rare few who broke into the food cellar, before they ran out with large handfuls of food.

After ten minutes Lord Broth turned away from the empty and demolishes all the walls between him and the food cellar. Lord Broth had a crazy look in his eyes, as he looked to the food cellar, before he charged in and began to devour all of the food.

Kazari watched from the entrance and mutters to himself, "This brings back memories," before he begins to laugh.

With Appa and his human friends plus one annoying Lemur.

Appa can be seen mopping in pain, with Aang comforting him, when Kitara took him some food he ignored her and just grunted in pain. Sokka made the tent as Ankh made the fire pit, before he unconsciously pulled out of Hidori's satchel some biscuits. Ankh realised he had food once the savoury food touch his tongue. He looked down and found another biscuit and hands it to Sokka and says, "Eat, we may be here for a couple days."

Sokka accepts the biscuit and asks, "What makes you say that?" before taking a bite out of the biscuit, as Momo tried to get it.

Ankh 'humfs' and says, "Because the dumb girl decided to use our may form of transport against a Yummy. Instead of landing the creature so that Appa could use his air manipulation to unbalance it. Why is she even here?"

Kitara, after hearing what he had to say, bent the water in her water sacks to douse Ankh, who just stared at Sokka. Aang then walked to the fire and took a seat near the fire and says, "I am worried about Appa."

Ankh simply says, "About what the fat bastard wanted Appa for, or because he is groaning in pain?"

"What am I going to do? Appa can't fly until he has rested enough and what if Lord Broth tries to steal Appa while we are asleep?" Aang began to panic.

While out of site Ankh's eyes turn blue and he says as he stares at the fire, "Why not sleep on his back as he rests, that way if that Lord sends his men, they would have to move your bison, which would cause you to awaken," before his eyes flashed red and he looked around the campsite. He spots a strange black 'man' in the dark and stands to look at the man with the head of a wolf. Ankh jumps over the fire to attack the strange creature only for it to vanish. Ankh looked around the spot he saw whatever he saw as Sokka was ready with his club and the OOO belt around his waist. What Sokka found was a surprise as he found a short sword that matched the style of the OOO belt, stabbed into the ground.

Sokka grabbed the sword handle and struggled to remove it from the ground, but when he did he found a cell slot next to a lever with a small roll of paper stuck inside. He opened the roll and read what was written, "It says this sword is called, Medajalibur, and that when I use it to focus on the Yummy after inserting three cell medals and then to scan them before attacking."

Ankh took the note and says, "What I saw was not human, It was a Greeed."

Aang asks the important question, "Was it one of your siblings?"

"No," Ankh admitted before he looked to the note, the OOO driver and the sword and says, "But whoever, I find him familiar."

Sooka then asks, "What about this sword?"

Ankh took it from Sokka with his Greeed hand and lifted the sword before swinging it down on a large rock. The rock was cleanly cut in half while the sword was undamaged. Ankh then says, "It should enable us to collect many medals," before he handed the sword back to Sokka, who was pulled down to the ground by the weight of the sword causing him to slam into the ground.

"We need to get Aang to the North Pole," Kitara shouted, "Not to have Sokka and Aang collect some dumb medals!"

Ankh laughed and says, "Don't you mean so that you can get to the North Pole. You are filled with desire, you would make a Yummy that would make enough cell medals to sustain all Greeeds for a century," Ankh then gets in her face and says, "While destroying an entire civilisation," before he went to Appa and rubbed him behind the ears.

As Appa enjoyed the scratch Kitara stomps up to Ankh as Sokka and Aang played with Sokka's new toy. Kitara then shouts, "What gives you the right, you force yourself into travelling with us, your disrespectful and your Fire Nation!"

Ankh simply laughs hysterically before he turns around and disconnects from Hidori, as Hidori's body fell to the ground Ankh as a hand got in Kitara's face and shouts, "I am a hand! My way of travel was stolen! I have to use this Fire Nation boy's body to even defend myself! And the last person to use the power of OOO was a bender that went crazy!" Ankh waved at Kitara before returning to Hidori's body. When he sits up he cracks Hidori's neck and says, "Besides Wan owes me."

Kitara then shouts, "His name is Aang!"

"Yeah Wan," Ankh replies getting everyone's attention.

Sokka, Kitara and Aang looks at him strangely before Sokka says, "Wait, What do you here when I say, aang?"

"You said aang," Ankh answers.

Sokka then pointed at Aang and says, "What about when I say, Aang?"

Ankh replies with, "Wan, his name is Wan," getting annoyed with this line of questioning, "You have been calling him Wan the whole time I have been here. And he still looks stupid with that dumb raggedy beard."

"Beard?" Aang questions before he asks, "Can you describe what I look like, because I have a hunch."

Ankh looks at him like an idiot, "You are wearing a red shirt under some black leather armour, grey hair reaching your shoulders with a grey goatee on your annoying face."

With that said Ankh went to the fire in an angry huff with Momo jumping on his shoulder hoping to get a tasty biscuit. Aang then pulled Sokka and Kitara away from the fire and whispers, "I don't think he sees the world differently."

Sokka then voiced his idea, "He calls you Wan, and he described a member of the Fire Nation."

Kitara looked confused while Aang spoke, "Maybe he was talking about a previous Fire Nation incarnation of the Avatar."

Sokka then asks, "How long was he in that pillar?"

Kitara sighs as she looks to the sky and says, "It's late, let's get some rest."

With that the three teens set their bed rolls near the fire, with Aang setting up on top of Appa. Ankh just stared at the fire until morning.

Fire Nation-The next Morning-Thirty minutes before dawn.

A teenager girl was seen sleeping in the royal palace before the sound of tapping was heard, causing the girl to awaken in a dishevelled state. She looked to the window to see Blue tapping on the window, where she covered herself with a red dressing gown and went to the window and opened it.

Blue flew into the room where the girl took the message from the birds pouch. She unrolls the picture and sees the short message, and was confused before she smiles before rubbing her lower back in slight pain. She then looks to a set of Royal Garments and decides to get ready for her day.

Island of Flowers-thirty minutes later.

The Next morning for the Avatar was rather pleasant. Appa was healed up as he happily munched on some long grass. The first one to awaken was Aang who saw Appa had recovered and saw Ankh staring at the fire, clearly keeping the fire active throughout the night. Sokka is seen sleeping in his sleeping bag, hugging his new sword as he sleeps and kissing it. Kitara is seen sleeping in an agitated state.

Aang hops down and says, "Morning Ankh."

Ankh looks at Aang showing the deep bags under his eyes as he says, "what?"

Aang replies with, "Its morning. Where you awake all night?"

Ankh looks to the sky and says, "Doesn't look any different." Ankh looked into the grey sky, with a white circle and a darker grey circle. For Ankh, he sees the world in shades of grey the only colour he can see is in the form of desire, like how he saw Kitara, covered in a blue aura, for Lord Broth, Ankh had seen a yellow aura.

Ankh went back to staring at the fire, while Aang sat opposite to him, his staff leaning on his shoulder and his legs crossed in a meditative pose. Kitara was the next to awaken to reveal her hair in a very dishevelled state. Before she says anything her stomach growls heavily and she says, "Perhaps we should have something to eat."

Ankh laughs and says, "Wan and Sokka were attacked before they could purchase any food. Thankfully they purchased bandages."

"And this cool hat," Aang added showing off his new orange hat he placed it on his head.

Ankh shrugged before standing, walking over to Sokka and kicks his side. Sokka awoke still hugging his sword as he shot up still snug in his sleeping bag as he suddenly gets to his feet. Sokka looked around and sighs before saying, "What time is it?"

"It's time for Breakfast, so get dressed," Ankh says as he starts walk towards the village.

:End of Chapter Two:

(With this the chapter comes to an end and has the steps set for the next chapter.

Now to answer some questions:

Greeed in this story, all their senses are dulled, except for their individual animal traits. For Ankh, he sees the world in black and white, with the only colour being the desire he can 'see' on individuals. For Uva its touch and for Kazari its smell.

For Ankh, there is only five known Greeed free.
