Chapter 6: Air
Gohan's P.O.V
"Wow, I think I'm here" I muttered feeling the chilling wind against my face. I stopped flying and looked around the area. Then something caught my eye, there was a huge iceberg split open. "That can't be a coincidence" I muttered as flew at light speed and landed on top of the iceberg, where I saw two familiar faces. "Hi guys" I said in a cheerful tone. Katara and Sokka whipped there heads in my direction.
"Gohan!" said Katara and Sokka. The difference was Katara's was in a excited tone, but Sokka's was in an angry tone. "Uhhhhh" said a voice. "Huh" I said looking in the direction of the voice I saw a bald boy with arrow tattoos. The boy got up and looked confused then he got a weird look in his eye. His head snapped toward me and he said quickly "You've got to help my people, the airbenders, they're under attack." "Whoa, slow down" I said confused by what he just said. "Yeah, Gohan's right, but you probably wouldn't want to get his help he might attract the Fire Nation prince" said Sokka. "Hey, that was only once and that was on accident" I replied angrily. "Yeah but, it still happened" growled Sokka. Both of us scowled and glowered at each other, but then Katara broke it up.
"Guys stop it" said Katara. "And anyways we can't help because the airbenders were wiped out one hundred years ago." Shocked, the boy fell to his knees with a pained expression on his face. "Man, he and I are alike in so many ways" I thought to myself. Since it was unbearable to see him like that I tried to distract him by saying "What's your name?" "It's Aang" said Aang. "Okay, how would you like to help me defeat the Fire Nation.
"That's the avatar's job, we can't do that" said Aang. "That's why I told you to help me" I said. "Wait one second you're the avatar?" asked Aang incredulously. "Yeah" I said smiling. "Funny, I expected you to be older" said Aang. "WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT?!" I yelled. "Anyway" I said as I regained my composure. "Will you be my airbending teacher. "Sure, after all I am a master airbender" said Aang proudly as he quickly glanced at Katara. "I saw that, does he have something for her" I thought jealously.
"Anyway, we got to leave because I learned the hard way that I shouldn't stay in one place to long" I said remembering the people injured at Kyoshi island. "Okay, then let's go to Omashu, I've got a friend over there" said Aang. "Sure" I said. Then suddenly a huge bison came out of the iceberg. "Appa!" shouted Aang. "Who is that?" I asked. "This is my flying bison Appa" said Aang cheerfully, as he hopped on to Appa's back in one bound. "Come on" said Aang to the rest of us. "No thanks, I can fly" I said as I flew off the ground. "Okay, then let's go" said Aang as soon as everyone was on Appa. "Yip, yip" said Aang as Gohan and the rest of the team flew off.
In the air...
"So how do you airbend?" I asked. "Well, airbending is all about feeling free while you do the motions for the airbending techniques. "It might be a little hard for you, but don't-" said Aang as he stopped abruptly as I launched a huge gust of wind with force of a hurricane. Everyone looked at me in shock. "Heh, heh, guess I can't control it yet" I said as I scratched the back of my head. "No kidding!" yelled Sokka.
"I'll try to put less force on this one" I said as I tried it again, but this time it was only a puff of air. "This is gonna be harder than I thought" muttered Aang. "Hey, can we stop here?" said Sokka pointing down to a village. "Why?" asked Katara."You said that I could eat the various meats of the world" whined Sokka. "Fine, but what do you think Aang" asked Katara. "I guess Appa could use a break, what do you think Gohan" asked Aang. "Sure, but let's not stay to long" I said.
"Okay then it's settled, let's go to that island" said Aang as he steered Appa to the right direction and Gohan followed as he dropped from the sky.
Gohan's P.O.V
"This is WAY better then anything we have back at home" said Sokka. "We're gonna have to leave" said Katara as I finished my 30th bowl of rice. "You're right" I said as I slid out of my seat. "Let's go get Appa from where docked him, so he can eat" said Aang. "Sure" said Sokka as he paid for the bill. "You guys must be rich to pay for all the food I ate" I said."You could say that" said Sokka as Katara rolled her eyes.
When we finally got to where Appa was docked, Aang started to feed him the leftovers from our meal. Katara and I went of to go a open rocky cavern, and Sokka went to supervise us (which was something about him not trusting me). While walking there I saw an earthbender bend a rock into the air. "Hey!" shouted Katara. The earthbender turned to look at us with wide eyes. As his rock fell, he ran from us, blocking the exits with a rock walls. "He's getting away!" said Katara.
"Sokka, you stay with Aang while Katara and look for the earthbender" I said. "How are you gonna get past that wall?" asked Sokka."Like this" I said as I stared intensely at one of the rock walls. Then, invisible ki shot out of my eyes, exploding the wall on impact. "Whoa" said Sokka in awe. "Come on Katara, let's go" I said as I grabbed her hand and we ran.
The Chase...
Gohan's P.O.V
"After awhile of running we weren't getting any closer. "We aren't gonna catch him like this, you're gonna have to carry me" said Katara as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I blushed a deep crimson and said "Sure." I carried her in my arms. After flying very fast for about a minute, we caught up with the earthbender (who was in front of a house). When we landed I shouted "Hey you!" "Damn" said the earthbender under his breath. "Ummmmm... Gohan you can let go of me now" said Katara blushing. "Oh " I said as I panicked and dropped her.
The door to the house opened and a old woman came out. "What is this?" asked the woman. "Will you be my earthbending teacher after I master air and water?" I asked."I can't earthbend" said the earthbender nervously. "Yes you can, I saw you" I said. "HE WHAT!" raged the old woman. "You know you aren't aloud to earthbend now they're gonna report you" said the old woman. "Don't worry we won't report you because I'm the avatar" I said. "Please come in" said the old woman as we walked in.
"I expected you to be-" said the old woman. "Older, I know I get that a lot" I said nonchalantly. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Katara looked out the window. "It's the Fire Nation" said Katara. "I got to hide" I said as I dove behind a couch. Katara opened the door and a Fire Nation soldier stepped in. "I already paid you rent" said the old woman.
"Well it doubled and I'd hate for something to happen to your house" said the soldier as made a fireball in his hand. The old lady then brought out a chest and gave the money to the soldier. "You can keep the copper ones" said the soldier as he dropped the copper ones on the floor and walked away. Then I came out and asked "Does he do this often?" "Yes, the Fire Nation has done this for five years" said the old woman.
"Those bastards just love to take things that aren't theirs" said the earthbender. "Haru!" scolded Haru's mother. "Haru can stop them with his bending and there is nothing they can take that they haven't already took" said Katara. "They can take Haru like they took his father" said Haru's mother.
Katara's P.O.V
"You guys can stay in here for the night" said Haru as he opened the door to a shed. "Thanks" said Aang and Sokka who recently joined us. "Yeah" said Gohan. After a while of getting settled Haru and I took a walk. "Sorry for when I said those things I didn't kn-" I said. "It's okay, you actually reminded me of my father when you said that" said Haru.
"Thanks" I said. "The only problem is the way I feel closest to my dad is through bending" said Haru. "You see this necklace it's the last piece I have of my mom, she was killed in a Fire Nation raid" I said as I pointed to my necklace. Before Haru could reply, a cry for help rang in our ears. We ran to the source of the noise and saw a old man trapped under the entrance of a mine.
While Haru tried to hold back the falling earth, I tried to pry the old man away from the rubble. "Haru, you have to do it" I pleaded. Haru backed away from the mine, got into a stance, closed his fists and thrust them toward the mine causing the rubble to be pushed away. "Haru you did it" I said smiling. Then we picked up the old man and carried him off.
In the shed...
Gohan's P.O.V
I woke up with someone shaking me and a face over mine, so I did what anyone else in my position would have done. I rolled away from the figure, pushed of the ground, while still spinning horizontally in the air, and used my ki to stop myself in the air all in 10 seconds. Then, I turned to look at the figure who was above me and saw Katara.
Katara started running after me, and when she got to where I was levitating in the air she said "You have to help me Haru got taken away." "When and who?" I asked. "It was when we were asleep, and the Fire Nation took him" said Katara. "Why did they take him?" I asked. "They took him because he earthbended, now I want you guys to help me get arrested" said Katara.
"What the HELL!" I yelled. "That's what we said" said Sokka and Aang. "We have to leave now" said Sokka. "Why?" asked Katara. "We have to get the Fire Lord out of the way as soon as possible" said Sokka. "WE HAD TIME TO GET YOU MEAT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET HARU!" screeched Katara. "She's right, anytime I wanted to I could just beat him up and kill him" I said. "Then, why don't you do it" said Sokka in a exaggeratedly calm voice.
"That's beside the point, we have to help Haru" said Katara. "Okay, then what's your plan?" I asked. "Okay, I was thinking that we could..."
The Plan...
"You bitch, you haven't paid me my money" yelled Katara. "Why would I pay you money?" asked Sokka. "Because of this" said Katara as she thrust her hand towards Sokka. "Gohan you take this one" said Aang."Okay then" said Gohan as Gohan, yet again, put to much air in the bending. There was a vent where G bended air and another vent on a boulder in front of Sokka.
The air went through the vent to Sokka's vent and the air caused the boulder to launch into Sokka's chin sending them both upward. Some Fire Nation soldiers saw Katara "earthbend" and one of them said "Seize her." As the soldiers took her away, Gohan looked at Aang and said "Now its time for Phase 2 of her plan." As he said this Sokka fell down and hit the ground with a loud thud.
Gohan's P.O.V
"It's time to leave, you weren't able to break Haru out" said Sokka. "It's not just about Haru now, we have to save all of them" said Katara who was in a cell, looking out on the sea. "How are we gonna save all of them, we need someone with the strength of like, 20 men" said Sokka. "Ehrem, in case you haven't noticed I have more strength than that" I matter-of-factly.
"Hey you guys do you see that?" asked Aang. "Looks and smells like they're burning coal, which means they're burning earth" said Sokka. "Okay, then what's your brilliant plan now" said Sokka sarcastically. "Glad you asked, I actually have two plans now" said Katara. "Well don't be a stranger, tell us your plans" said Aang. "Okay here's the plans..." said Katara.
Gohan's P.O.V
Katara had just finished her speech, and Aang did phase 1 of the plan by dropping in some coal for the earthbenders to bend. This unfortunately did nothing to raise the earthbenders spirits. "See girl, not even the spirits can help them out of their state of brokenness" said the warden. Then I went super saiyan and flew into the sky, as my aura rose with me.
Some earthbenders saw me and started whispering among themselves, and when I landed on a platform in the middle of the spacious open room, I went out of the super saiyan form. "Kill him" said the warden to some of his soldiers, after getting out of his shock. The soldiers then firebended at me, the jets of fire fast approaching.
"I'm gonna airbend right now I just have to feel free" I thought. Then I realized I was free of homework, chores, and a lot of other things. Hell, I'm not even bound to this planet, I have three homes. Then with all of this on my mind, I twirled my hands, gaining wind from the air around me, then I thrust both of my hands at the jets of fire, instantly extinguishing them.
Best of all my airbending wasn't too strong or to weak. "Since the plan didn't work its time for the backup plan" I thought. Then I shot a ki blasts at the railings, of the ship, around me destroying them all. I must have made an impression or something because I saw a rock fly over my shoulder and hit a soldier. After that it was pandemonium, I went between the fighting so I could help the earthbenders.
I roundhouse kicked one soldier in the head, two others I punched in the gut, and another one of them I headbutted. After a while of kicking Fire Nation ass, the earthbenders won the fight.
"Thank you for helping us you guys" said Haru. "No prob" said Sokka. "Now, we must return home to take our villages back" yelled Haru's father, which resulted in a lot of cheering. "Will you come with us?" asked Haru. "No, we have to help Gohan master the elements" said Katara. "I still wish that-" said Haru. "It's alright" said Katara as she tried to touch her necklace, but she didn't find it there.
"My mother's necklace, where is it?" Katara asked panicked. Little did she know, Zuko had picked up her mother's necklace to use for his evil deeds.
A/N: Sorry, if this was a little bad and remember I'm always open to suggestions. Remember to review, follow, and fave while I do my homework. DAMN YOU SCHOOL! :( Anyways, until next time.
