The Blue Spirit
Ruins of Taku
I awaken to see Sokka sick and awaken slowly to see Aang arguing with Katara about going to an Herbalist. I look and stand up and stretch feeling stiff beyond belief. I rise and speak with a parched voice," Aang, What has happened, and Where are we?" Aang looks to me with shock and awe that I am back from what seems to be the dead.
Aang is happy and runs to me hugging me with happiness," We have been so worried about you since we left Gaipan. Can you make sure nothing happens to Sokka and Katara while I travel to a Herbalist Institute to get medicine for them."
"Sure I am not back to full strength but if you're not back in a few hours I am going to go get you, here take this it is a communicator press this button and speak into it and I will answer it." Aang nods to me and runs off at high speed to the Institute, while I go and get water for Sokka and Katara.
I sit waiting for Aang to speak and inform me of being on his way back but instead the call is one of distress," Ezra, I need your help, Mutton Chops has me and I need your help to escape."
" On my way," I respond and quickly leave both of the siblings and follow Aang's presence in the force, feeling his raw power flowing outwards. Then I see it a fortress where Aang must be held by the commander. I quickly walk up to the walls and use the force to jump up to them quickly. I avoid the troops and sneak into the main sanctum via the sewers. Which I feel the shit on my legs unlike the Lothal Sewers, these are far more in use. I sneak into the Fortress with total silence placing thermal detonators on the roof of the sewers to light this place up like Sabine would though not as artistically as she would destroy this place. However, as I feel outwardly I sense the presence of Prince Zuko though it doesn't feel like a different part of him or something. It doesn't matter what matters is getting Aang out of here. Which as I get closer to him I feel Zuko. Then I see Aang exit what looks to be a fortified cell and see a masked individual which is Zuko. Aang then sees me and runs to me crushing me in a hug.
"I knew you would come to help free me from Zhao," Aang says then I move my finger to my lip telling him to be silent.
"Go on ahead I need to talk to your new friend," I say to both Aang and the Prince which Aang runs ahead as I stare at Zuko with a cold glare and say," I don't trust you near Aang if you do anything I will kill you with but a thought."
The two of us regroup with Aang silently, as we exit the sanctum. We hear the alarms go off informing us that Zhao knows we have broken out Aang as we move from one ring to the next. I use my lightsaber to cut through weapon after weapon. While Aang and Zuko trailed behind me using whatever they could to travel from one level to the next we reached the main gate to exit the fortress. Zuko all of a sudden grips Aang with his dual swords and forces Zhao to open the gate. As I watched from the rear we walk out slowly, backing away in which I then grab the detonator stick and hit the button. I turn and yell," Run as fast as you can!"
Then I hit the button on the stick and,' BOOM!' The sound is deafening then I see shit flying in the air pelting the Fire Nation troops but suddenly I see an arrow whizz right by me. If it was any closer it would've reopened one of my twin scars but instead hit Zuko. I walk over and Aang is in shock," Go get what you need I will take care of the Prince, ok." I say it in which Aang zooms off and I carry Zuko to a place to hide him so I can heal the concussion.
Zuko Pov
I awoke to see the sun rising then I noticed him the Jedi, he spoke with concern," You should be careful you are probably still feeling the effects of a concussion but you will get better eventually, Your Highness," as he spoke the last part with a barb of sarcasm. I feel for the Blue Spirit mask not feeling anything. I turn to the Jedi with a searing glare of rage. He rolls on his boot heel looking at me with a glare of his own.
" Why did you save me from Zhao," I ask with a mixed sense of curiosity but more so shock?
" When you find someone in need you help them it is what I do even if they are my enemy, because it was also the right thing to do, Thank You for saving Aang," He responds with simple kindness. Which I struggle to comprehend having not seen it since before Lu Ten's death. When my family felt whole. The Jedi's gaze has also shifted to one of a simple smirk as he makes a small bow he withdraws into the forest vanishing into thin air like a Spirit. Leaving me to figure my way back to the Wani. He confirms the story that Grandfather loved more than anything viewing the Jedi as wise, sages, but also powerful. I must ask Uncle about them when I return.
Ezra Pov
I reach our hiding spot Aang is napping while I sit down to meditate on the nature of my encounter with Prince Zuko. His thoughts were very much focused on the past and his family. I arrived to see both Sokka and Katara waking from their nap with the frogs jumping out of their mouths. I find a spot and enter a meditation to calm my nerves and relax from what I had done to help Aang. My mind has more clearly shown something I felt about Prince Zuko though what remains unclear.
