AVATAR, OOO and the Bird, Chapter four

Time for Kyoshi Island. Enjoy!

I OWN Nothing!

:Chapter Start:

Random Island dawn-With Uva, Kazari and Gamel-A week since Flower Island

The Greeed Airship was docked next to an island where surrounded by cliffs and small amounts of plant life filled with birds. Kazari sat in his Greeed form sat with Gamel as he ate his candy while Uva paced back and forth. Kazari growls suddenly when he stands and shouts, "Where is that stupid fish!"

Gamel growls before Uva speaks, "Mezool requires water to find desirable hosts," Uva leaned on a rail and adds, "Expecting her to have a Yummy after a week is like expecting a straight answer from Ankh." Causing Kazari to growl before a Piranha Yummy jumped on deck and Uva says, "She clearly got very lucky."

The Yummy bursts into cell medals Uva collected several dozen and absorbed several before speaking once again we are heading to Koyoshi Island. Absorb some but the rest goes to the engines." Kazari growls while Gamel does what he is told before Uva activates the ship as it flies towards their destination.

Koyoshi Island-woods opposite side of the island-secret hot spring-Five days prior.

A group of teenage girls Sokka's age walked toward a secret place passed down through the years for the protectors of the island. All wearing green leather armour, white face paint with red and black around the eyes, with head dresses with red fan and golden flower ornament. Each holding towels, washing clothes and washing basins. They arrived at the spring and began undressing and started bathing together, enjoying their time together during this secret tradition.

Unfortunately this moment of peace was ruined by a buzzkill, "What are you all doing, we should be training. Not playing in the water!"

One of the girls already relaxing in the hot water spoke, "This is a tradition of Koyoshi warriors, Jade, every year on this day we come here to bound and cleanse our chi for the coming year."

Jade huffed and says, "Admit it Suki, this is a waste of all our time!"

Suki looked at the rookie and says as several still clothed Koyoshi Warriors stand behind Jade, "Are you really going to try and ruin the oldest traditions of those before us?" Jade smirks when she notices those behind her until they pushed her into the water and as Jade resurfaced, Suki finished, "Because that is normal for those coming here for the first time, and you won't be the last. So get out of those wet clothes and enjoy your night off." Suki closes her eyes and relaxes.

Jade glares at the all before standing out of the water and runs away, with no one noticing the large pool of water lowering a substantial amount of water vanishing.

With Jade

Jade stormed off in a huff before reaching a clearing and stomping the ground causing tremors and rocks to float in the air before crashing. Jade huffed deeply before taking a martial arts form and proceeded to practice with her war fan. As she trained, Mezool in her human form, formed out of the water from the hot spring before stepping out behind the Earth Bender and begins to speak, "What is it that you desire?"

Jade spun around to see the beautiful 'woman' behind her before sighing and admitting, "I want to get stronger." A coin slot then appeared on Jade's forehead causing her to pass out for an hour, only to wake up in a private shed located at the edge of town. Jade shook her head as she looked out the window near a mirror that showed a pulsing white mass of eggs. Jade shook her head before heading outside and continues to train. Causing the eggs to grow.

Upon Appa-two days later (present)

Aang flew his Sky Bison as Kitara was sowing Sokka's torn pants. Ankh had his eyes closed as he lied back in Appa's Saddle eyes closed. Aang looked back to Kitara and decided to show off with some marbles only for Kitara to ignore him before Sokka spoke, "Aang please don't distract Kitara when she is sowing."

Kitara glared at Sokka and asks, "What does that mean?"

"Simple," Sokka starts, "I am currently without pants and the last time I tried using a needle I sowed my fingers together. So can we give my talented sister finish her work."

Kitara looked at him strangely before asking, "Sokka what is wrong?"

"Besides being without pants in winter?" Sokka questioned when Kitara gave him a strange look, "I have been thinking okay. About the Greeed and the Yummies. Coming to a conclusion," Ankh opened his eyes, "I have been lucky so far, I need to get stronger."

Ankh huffed and says, "Careful that is a dangerous path of thought."

Kitara glares at Ankh and shouts, "What have you done to my sexist brother?"

Sokka sighs and says, "You mean getting me to mature and think rationally about my situation?" Kitara was shocked, "Plus I doubt that all Yummies will be made through men. If I let something as dumb a difference between boys and girls, I would probably get myself killed."

Ankh laughs lightly before he says, "Good, because there is one female Greeed," he sat up and says, "She does not make one Yummy, she makes an army with strong enough desire she could destroy a nation."

The humans of the group were shocked before Sokka asks, "Is there any sighs that could inform us of her?"

Ankh sighs and says, "A sudden increase in the person trying to achieve their desire to the point of obsession. Then if the desire is stopped the Yummy's host can get violent. You can tell if the yummy is her's by the use of water and the fish like forms."

Sokka looked to Kitara before asking Ankh, "Is it a specific desire she uses or is random?"

"It just needs to be strong," Ankh answered while Aang brought Appa down towards a ring shaped island. Ankh suddenly stands on Appa looking down on the island. Ankh tisked with his lips before saying, "She is here."

Sokka's eyes widened as he asks, "You mean?"

"Yeah, Mezool made a Yummy nest," Ankh looks at the island and narrows his eyes and says, "I cannot see it, we will have to search on foot."

"We?" Kitara questioned in annoyance.

"Sokka and I will search," Ankh rudely spoke, "You do whatever," as they came in to land on a beach.

Kitara looked to Aang and asks, "Why are we here, we need to get to the North Pole."

Aang answered, "There is Elephant Koi native to this island, I was planning for us to come here so I could ride one but if there are people here in danger," he left it hanging at that before a giant Unagi swallowed an Elephant Koi the size of a house by bursting from beneath.

As it chewed it stared at Ankh before growling lightly and diving underwater. Ankh sighs and says, "Great, that Unagi is still around," Ankh then started walking to the village when the entire group was ambushed by several dozen girls in armour. They succeeded in catching, Kitara and Aang, but Sokka raised his arms like he does with the tiger chest piece of OOO, and flipped three of the girls before a forth landed on his shoulders and flipped him to the ground. Ankh looked at the girls and says, "Seriously Wan, you Sokka lasted longer then you, and Kitara still hasn't fixed his pants yet."

Sokka sighs from his position under the girl who caught him, face still on the ground and the girl sitting on his neck. Sokka then says, "No offense, but can you please get off my neck. It is a little hard to breath, though the perfume is helping a bit."

"Whoever you guys are, you are going to regret it when Aang saves us," Kitara shouts.

Sokka then spoke still under the warrior woman sitting on him, "What my sister is trying to say, is that the bald kid with the arrow tattoos is the Avatar. He was frozen in a glacier at the South Pole, we are heading North so he can learn water bending. Ankh, the guy in Fire Nation clothes is a spirit hand possessing a guy who will pretty much die when he leaves. Currently your island is in danger from monsters created through human desire that may destroy this island if we do not stop it," The Warrior Women looked at him in disbelief before he says, "Aang, flex your hands the not they used will pop off," Aang did just that before Sokka says, "Ankh show off your hand please."

Ankh growls and says, "Really you tell them everything and you expect me to do the same!?"

"Would you prefer to be tied up and possible attack by your fellow Greeed," Sokka spoke appearing very tired, "Good night," Before passing out due to lack of air.

The girl stood up as Aang sat up looking at the remains of the knot used in amazement as Ankh barged past the women and kick Sokka awake before using his Greeed arm to raise Sokka up and slapping him with the human hand.

The Girl who had sat on Sokka's neck speaks, "You are the Avatar?"

Aang smiles and says, "Sure am," before pulling out the marbles and air bending them around very quickly with a smirk.

"Aang, Help," Kitara speaks while being hog tied.

Ankh steps to her and with his claws cut the ropes before shouting, "Come on Sokka, we have a Yummy Nest to find," Ankh starts walking towards the village.

"Halt!" the girl who sat Sokka speaks as Sokka rubs his head, "We are the Kiyoshi Warriors. I am the current leader Suki. What is this danger to our island?"

Ankh huffs and says, "Sokka already told you," the sarcasm in his voice bracing, "We have medals to collect." Resulting in the Kiyoshi Warriors escorting the Avatar and his 'friends' to the village.

Greeed Airship-That moment-Other side of the island.

Uva sat in silence as Gamel played with a wooden toy he found, a small boat. Kazari had gotten off to the main land saying he would head northward and get back to them later. So this left Uva and Gamel in their human disguises as another Yummy arrived and gave them more cell medals.

They had been waiting an hour when Mezool finally appeared from the water in her Greeed form and says, "Well it is very peaceful at the moment."

"Kazari left to find himself another Yummy," Uva answered, "He still has not realised that a human disguise works well."

Mezool smirks and says, "Well then, more medals for us," She then stepped towards the edge of the airship and says, "I am going to return to the village. To ensure that my Yummies grow," before smiling at Gamel before jumping in the water.

"Mezool," chased her to the railing only to be stopped by Uva.

"She'll be back," Uva states before he adds, "You will be here to support her and make her happy," Gamel got excited as he jumped up and down causing the whole ship to shake.

Kiyoshi Island-With team Avatar.

Aang and friends were escorted to the village, while Ankh watched his surroundings and the people he passed. Sokka wearing his still partially torn pants walked next to an annoyed Kitara, who continued to glare at Ankh.

Suki stepped in front of them before saying, "I need to speak with the village Elder. Please wait here," she then turned and ran quickly into the village past Jade who had just arrived from private training.

Jade looked at the intruders and got into her fighting stance before the other Kiyoshi Warriors stopped her. And when asked where Jade was, she answered, "I was training."

Suki returned with an elderly man wearing blue robes. The Elder stepped in front of Aang and says, "Welcome young Avatar. I did not expect you to be so young."

Aang returned the bow before saying, "Being frozen in ice does wonders for the skin."

Sokka then says, "Not so much the mind though," Kitara elbowed her brother in the stomach where he adds, "It has something to do with spirit magic or something, no way a normal person could survive as an ice block for a hundred years," only to be slapped on the back of his head by Kitara.

Aang scratched the back of head while Ankh stared at Jade, who shouts, "What are you looking at you creep."

Ankh simply grabs Sokka's coat and pulled him away. Kitara growls before walking up to Jade and speaking, "I apologize for my idiot brother's 'friend'. If you feel like putting him in prison feel free."

Aang interrupted with, "Actually I would prefer that you not do that," Kitara was shocked before he says, "Apparently he is tied with the Avatar cycle and I need to work out how." The Elder bows in acknowledgement.

Kitara crosses her arms and says, "I don't trust him."

With Ankh and Sokka-Twenty Minutes later

Ankh leaned behind a building with Sokka as they spied on Jade as she travelled through the village. Sokka looked at who he was following and asks, "Why are we following her?"

"Yummy parent," Ankh replied before saying, "We follow her to where Mezool made the nest, we can destroy them and get a decent profit."

"Shouldn't we tell her?" Sokka questioned.

Ankh replies, "She wouldn't know of the Yummy Nest and if we told her she wouldn't believe us."

They continued to follow her towards the coast of Kiyoshi Island, unaware that a third party was following them. As they followed Jade, Ankh froze before grabbing Sokka and jumping out the way of a blast of water followed by Mezool jumping out the water and speaking, "Hello Ankh," she then turned to Sokka and says, "You must be OOO-Boya."

"Mezool," Ankh spoke, "What do you want?" the annoyance in his voice was demanding.

Mezool laughed angelically before saying, "Making medals and living for Gamel's sake," she then became very serious when she asks, "What happened to Maki."

Ankh glared at her before shouting, "I made sure that bastard was gone for good," Mezool crossed her arms as Ankh pulled out the Hawk, Tiger and Grasshopper medals and says, "Sokka, take her medals."

Sokka accepted the medals before he asks Mezool, "Who is Maki?"

Mezool looks at Sokka as he places the medals in his buckle, "Maki, is our older brother Greeed. He had the kings ear and he was the second in command to us Greeed."

"Henshin!" Sokka transformed into OOO with his sword before he asks, "Any way I can ask you not to do this?"

Mezool laughs before answering, "You could give me my four Core medals that Ankh took."

Ankh looked at her strangely before saying, "We only have one," that got Mezool to stumble.

"What!? What about Gamel's medals?" Mezool questioned.

"Only one," Ankh answered.

"Uva and Kazari?" Mezool questioned.

"Four from Kazari, and of the two from Uva, Kazari took one," Ankh answered.

Mezool growls and turns around, "Damn it Kazari. We will fight next time OOO boya. I need to speak with Uva and Gamel," before jumping into the water.

Ankh and OOO ran after her before OOO says, "What in the four nations was that?"

Ankh sighs before rubbing 'his' eyes and saying, "Mezool is the most level headed of us Greeed," he looks around and growls in saying, "She was protecting the Yummy Nest, distracting us using your pointless questions."

OOO looked at Ankh and says, "Then why did you answer her questions on Core Medals."

Ankh sighs and says, "She thought we had a full set of her medals, meaning more of them were lost then I thought."

OOO de-transformed and Sokka says, "Maybe someone came to the island before Aang, Kitara and Myself. It could explain why you don't have all of your medals, and why you are only a hand."

Ankh looked at his red bird Greeed arm and says, "How should I know," he then stiffened and shouts as he turns around, "Whose there?!"

Suki stepped out from behind a tree and says, "I thought you said you were here to get rid of the monsters. Not follow my fellow warriors."

Sokka looked bashful while Ankh simply says, "That was the one who made the Yummy Nest and we were following the Yummy's Parent before Mezool showed up."

Ankh walked to Sokka before taking the Core Medals from him as Suki asks, "So what was with the costume?"

Ankh just jumped up to the trees and searched as Sokka answered, "Magic armour or something. I am Sokka by the way, never really got the chance to introduce myself earlier."

Suki smiled and says, "I am Suki the current leader of the Kiyoshi Warriors," Sokka took a seat on a rock while Suki sat on another rock and asks, "So what brings you to Kiyoshi Island?"

"Besides the Avatar?" Sokka questioned with a smile before saying, "Ankh sensed a strange metal monster, so we are doing that instead of letting Aang ride on giant fish."

Suki smiled at that before asking, "You know, most boys would not believe that a bunch of girls got the jump on them."

Sokka hummed before he says, "I fought two giant beetles, a giant butterfly and an obese cat monster that constantly ate food. Besides, girls can be benders same as boys. Why can't girl non benders fight too?"

"You think I am a non bender?" Suki questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I didn't have rocks thrown at me, or was frozen in a block of ice, like when Kitara water bends," Sokka answered as he looked to the tree tops and says, "Honestly after I am happy I am not a bender, I would probably wouldn't survive a day."

Suki looks at him strangely and asks, "How about I show you around the village, maybe we can find this nest," Sokka looks at the smirking Suki and smirks with her.

Sokka stands and with an exadurated bow says, "After you, milady," getting her to laugh behind her hand before she led him away by his arm. Ankh in the tree above them sighs before continuing his search.

Greeed Airship

Mezool sped her way to the Greeed Airship before jumping on board and getting hugged by Gamel. Gamel shouts, "Mezool!" lovingly while Uva shakes his head in annoyance.

Mezool looks at Uva and says, "I saw Ankh on the Island with a new weilder of that OOO armour."

Uva stands in shock before roaring, "ANKH!" he turns to Mezool and asks, "What does this new OOO look like?" Mezool then transforms into Sokka before transforming back to her human form. Uva nods before transforming into his human form and saying, "I am going to get my two cores," and jumps to the island.

Mezool watches him leave before saying, "But Kazari already stole one of his medals," before sighing in disappointment before Gamel hugged her tighter.

With Aang-Main Village-Ten minutes

Aang was entertaining several younger girls, showing off his bending and just showing off. Kitara glared at the young Avatar before leaving to get supplies from the market. Aang was showing off his air scooter, as Sokka and Suki returned to the village and proceeded to head to the market. Aang spots then and shouts, "Hey Sokka, where is Ankh?"

Sokka looked at Aang and scratched the back of his head and says, "We bumped into his sister and are looking, you know," doing his best to not cause a panic.

"Is it another bug or a cat?" Aang questioned innocently.

"I think it might be a fish," Sokka answered before he was led away by Suki.

"OOO!" was shouted from the edge of the village and behind Sokka, who turned around to see Uva in his human form.

Sokka looked at the green Fire Nation clothes and thought aloud, "Who is this guy?" before he shouts, "Do I know you?"

Uva smirks and says, "Not like this," before he turned into his incomplete Greeed form and says, "I will be taking back my Core Medals," before jumping straight to Sokka and attacked with his claws.

Sokka pushed Suki out the way as Uva attacked him. Fortunately his coat was so baggy that when Uva slashed he only cut through the outer layer of his coat. Sokka back stepped to avoid the wild swings before he bumped into a wall and droping to the ground and crawls away as Uva slashes the wall. Sokka reaches a piles of wooden planks and grabs one before swinging it into Uva, causing it to snap in half and causes Sokka to drop the plank and shakes his hands in pain. Uva then back hands Sokka towards Suki and Aang. Sokka while on his back looks up to Suki and says, "Someone get Ankh," Uva grabs his foot and throws Sokka into the side of another building.

Aang looked to Suki and says, "Go find Ankh, I will help Sokka!" before air bending at the bug Greeed knocking Uva back a meter getting Uva's attention and when a burst of air did nothing, Aang looked down and used his staff to shoot several hand sized rocks at the Greeed. Suki ran back the way they went while Sokka received a rock to the fore head before grabbing another rock and throwing it at the back of Uva's head and proceeded to gain Uva's attention before attacking Sokka again.

Sokka ran away from the village as Uva continued to swing the his arms wildly breaking several trees. Sokka got out of sight from Uva before pulling out a couple of those red metal birds and spoke to them to attack Uva as he continued to hide. It was unsuccessful as Uva smashed through the tree as Sokka ducked and speedily crawled away from Uva.

With Ankh-five minutes prior.

Ankh from his perch above Jade's clearing as she trained, he was watching her from across the edge of the lake and behind several trees. Ankh watched Jade as she started to move rocks unconsciously. Ankh never had to go too far from where Mezool attacked them resulting, though he never would have found her if he did not hear a thud in the distance.

Ankh continued to stare as he locates the Yummy nest nearby, he sighs and says, "Just what is with this body?" as he compares his Greeed arm and the human arm he is borrowing.

Ankh's ear twitched as he hears, "Ankh, Sokka needs medals," Ankh dropped down in front of Suki as she reaches the clearing. He raised an eyebrow before Suki takes a deep breath and says, "Sokka being attack by another monster this one a bug and called him OOO and asking for Core Medals."

Ankh clicked his lips before saying, "Uva," he reached into the satchel on his hip and pulled out a black, silver and gold box before pressing the side and throwing it towards the path where it transformed into a bike. Ankh sat on the saddle before Suki got over her shock and got on behind him just before they shot forward along the path to the village. It took a couple minutes until Ankh spots Uva and rams right into him. Uva went flying but the bike was broken to the point where the front wheel fell off.

Sokka looked at Ankh with his coat torn in several places before shouting, "Where were you?"

Ankh growls before saying, "I managed to find the Yummy Nest," he pulled out the hawk, tiger and cheetah core medals and says, "Take his Core Medals," before throwing them to Sokka.

Sokka placed his buckle on before inserting the medals and pulling out the scanner and says, "Henshin!" –TAKA TORA CHEETAH- Sokka transformed into OOO with Cheetah legs as Uva stands.

"OOO!" Uva roars before shouting, "Give me my CORE MEDALS!" before charging OOO.

OOO avoided the first swing before running past Uva almost forgetting to stop and having to use his claws to do just that before running at Uva before jumping into the air and dropped kicked Uva away before running over him and using a tree to turn around as Uva stood back up. OOO jumped onto Uva's shoulders and repeatedly kicked Uva like Kazari's parasite Yummy breaking off multiple cell medals before three green core medals were exposed and were kicked out of Uva.

Ankh shot his Greeed arm towards the three Core Medals leaving his body to slump forward on the broken bike and Suki panicking that Ankh was injured. Ankh catches the three core medals and returns to his body spooking Suki as he sat back up and inspected the three core medals and says, "A full set."

Uva's chest plate vanishes revealing black and brown bandages before he slashed at OOO's waist causing the Cheetah medal to eject from the buckle and to be taken by Uva. Leaving Sokka lying on his back as he shuffles back. Ankh looks at Uva before shouting, "Hey Uva, did you know Kazari has one of your medals?"

Uva as he was about to attack Sokka stopped in his tracks before quickly turning to Ankh while shouting, "What!?"

Ankh laughed and says, "Kazari attacked OOO a week ago, and took your medal from us, while OOO took three of his."

Uva shook in anger before stomping off and saying, "I will leave for now but next time I see either of you I will take my medals back," and jumps away.

Suki rushed over to Sokka and helped him up as Kitara and Aang reached them. Kitara pushed Suki out of the way and shook Sokka violently while shouting, "What were you thinking about fighting a monster without us, Sokka, you are not a bender so you should not be taking such a risk," that got a loud laugh from Ankh causing Kitara to shout at him, "What is your problem? First you force Sokka into this and now monsters are following us!"

Ankh got in her face and says, "The 'monsters' were already here," Ankh then went to stand near Sokka and proceeded to say as he raised the three core medals and says, "We now have a full combo. I have no idea what it will do, but keep up the decent work," he then pulled out grass hopper medal and hands it to Sokka and says, "Don't lose anymore," he glared into Sokka's eyes before jumping into the air and into the branches of the trees.

Sokka looked at the medal before saying, "But how can I contact you to avoid this problem in the future!?" only for Ankh to throw another boxed bike and a green cylinder that pops open to reveal a metal grass hopper that shouts with Ankh's voice, "There happy!" before he was silent, leaving Sokka to rub the bump on his forehead.

With Kazari-Fire Nation outpost-Sunset

Kazari walked along the roof tops looking at the humans below, before muttering, "I need to find someone who would attack Ankh and OOO with their desire." He kept searching through the night, ignoring the fire nation soldiers that watched him from the shadows.
