A/N: I'm sorry I took so long but I had to go on a vacation, help around the house, deal with my computer going to crap, reading other peoples stories, and being lazy, but the important thing is it's here.

Chapter 7: Winter Solstice

Gohan's P.O.V

"What about Team Avatar?" asked Sokka. "That sounds terrible" said Katara. "I think it sounds good" said Sokka. "That's because you made it" said Katara. All of us had been arguing about a team name for a while. "Actually, I think its a good name" said Aang. "What do you think Gohan?" asked Katara. "I think-" I started. "Hey, what's that?" interrupted Aang looking down at a scarred and ominous patch of land. "Let's go check it out, it could be the work of the Fire Nation" I said.

And with that we landed.

"Man, it looks like a hurricane came through here a million times!" said Sokka. "Yeah... I wish I could've stopped it though" said Gohan as he looked at the destroyed forest. "It's not your fault, you can't stop every problem the world gets thrown at it" said Katara. "Yeah, but I wish I could" said Gohan as he picked up an acorn, put it in his pocket, and turned suddenly to see and old man coming their way.

"When I saw the bison I wasn't sure, but boy are you the avatar?" asked the old man looking at Aang. "Nope, he is" said Aang pointing at Gohan. The old man looked at Gohan confused so Gohan replied "Yeah, I have no idea how this happened either." The old man then shook himself out of his shock and asked "Can you come with me to help my village?" "Sure, I'd be happy to help" said Gohan. "Everyone get on Appa!" shouted Gohan as everyone climbed onto the bison.

"Okay, hang on tight" said Gohan as he picked up Appa, rose into the sky, and almost instantly got to a village. "Hey is that the village down there" asked Gohan. "Yes, but how did you get here so fast" said the old man. "Training" Gohan said simply. He then began his descent on the village, earning some scared, shocked and hostile looks. "Wait here" said the old man as he proceeded to talk to another villager. After a while he told us he needed the avatar's help to stop a spirit.

"So you need my help to stop a spirit named Hei-Bai?" asked Gohan. "Precisely" said the old man. "Yeah and we do that all the time" said Sokka sarcastically. "It's true I haven't done this before, but I'm gonna try" said Gohan. "Good he should come as soon as the sun goes down" said the old man. "Meanwhile, I'm gonna try and see if I can get to the Spirit World" said Gohan as he sat down in a chair and went to the Spirit World.

In the Spirit World...

Gohan's P.O.V

I instantly materialized in what I imediately recognized as the Spirit World. Then I got a happy smile on my face when I saw my father in which I imediately greeted him. "Hi dad" I said with a smile. "Hey Gohan" said Goku. Then I realized someone was missing so I asked "Hey dad where's grandpa?" "He's a little bit busy" said Goku.

"What he couldn't even say hello?" I asked jokingly as my dad just chuckled. Then his face got serious "Gohan, I called you here to teach you a new technique to help you with the spirit, but before I tell you about you need to know that you must get to the Fire Temple by the Winter Solstice on Crescent Island." "Okay I'll be sure to tell the rest of the team, but what's the technique then?" I asked curiously. "The technique is called..."

Arrival of Hei-Bai...

Gohan's P.O.V

"Man I wonder when he's gonna come out" I thought to myself. I had already been waiting 15 minutes but still no sign of it. Just when I was about to leave I sensed something, then I jumped away as a cold wind blasted at me. I looked up to be face to face with a huge monster with two short black arms, two long white arms, two long black back legs and sharp teeth with black and white skin.

"Hey can you tell me why you're doing this!" I yelled. Hei-Bai responded with another air blast in which I dodged. "Okay then guess I'll have to use the technique" I thought to myself. I disappeared and reappeared behind Hei-Bai's head and placed my hand on its head, but Hei-Bai shook me off. He tried to shoot me with an air blast, but I phased through it.

I landed on his head and quickly put my hand on his head and then I was flooded with Hei-Bai's knowledge and pain and realized why he was doing this and knew exactly how to stop him.

I flew in front of Hei-Bai's face and said "You're angry about the forest being destroyed I get it but..." I said as I reached into my pocket and pulled out an acorn. "...it will grow back" I finished as I held out the acorn. As Hei-Bai saw the acorn he started shrink and turn around until nothing was left but a panda walking into a forest.

After Hei-Bai disappeared villagers started to run out of the forest, glad to be free. The old man came next to me and congratulated me on saving the village. I then joined up with the rest of the team and told them about what happened in the Spirit World and where we had to go next. "Wait so you saw your dead father and he taught you a new technique and he told you to meet Avatar Roku at the Fire Temple?" asked Aang.

"Yep" I said. "Two problems, the Winter Solstice is tomorrow, and Crescent Island is so far away." said Katara. "Okay then, we've got no time to lose then" said Sokka as he jumped onto Appa's back. "Okay then" said Katara as she and Aang jumped onto Appa's back. "Yip, yip" said Aang as Appa levitated off the ground. I let my aura flare to life as I shot high into the sky.

Gohan's P.O.V

"We finally made it" I said. "We've got to watch out though, we passed a Fire Nation blockade on the way here" said Aang. "You sure that's the island?" asked Sokka skeptically. "Yep, I'd be surprised if I didn't know if that was the island, since my mom drilled geography into my head for a long time" I said. "Now, let's... GO!" I yelled as I shot down towards the island. "Let's go then" said Sokka as Appa descended onto the island.

I landed lightly on on one foot as Appa crashed into the ground. "We're here" said Aang. The Fire Temple was a five-tiered pagoda on a stone hill, with black columns on each layer, red and yellow structures curving upward, and a long staircase leading up to it. At the bottom layer there was a Fire Nation insignia around the door.

"We better go in quick in case the Fire Nation tries to follow us" said Sokka. "Agreed" I said as we rushed in. "Who goes there?" asked a bunch of old men with white beards and red Fire Nation robes. "It's the avatar and who are you?" I asked the men. "We are the Fire Sages and now we must kill you" said an old man who appeared to be the leader. "Okay...WAIT WHAT!" I yelled as I dodged a column of fire shot at me.

"Guys run, I got them" I said as the rest of the team proceeded to run as I fazed out appeared behind one Sage and punched him in the back. I fazed out and appeared behind two other Sages and punched both in the head. I then proceeded to knee two other Sages. Then I jumped away from them and blasted the left metal wall in the corridor causing smoke and metal to rain down on the Sages.

I ran as fast as I could to catch up with the gang, but ended up running right past them so I skidded to a stop and let the rest catch up. Then after running through a seemingly endless maze of corridors and getting tons of fire blasted at us, we realized we were getting nowhere with this. So we hid and let the Sages run past us while we came up with a plan.

"Okay we need a plan" said Sokka. "No duh, that's why we stopped" said Katara. "How are we going to get Gohan to talk to Avatar Roku when we have no idea where he is" said Aang. "Maybe I could go to the Spirit World and maybe I could to my dad to find out where to go or even Avatar Roku and get him to tell me what he wanted to tell me" I said.

"We can't do that because when you go to the Spirit World your body becomes vulnerable" said Sokka. "So we're in a really tight spot aren't we?" asked Aang. "Yup" I said. "Maybe I could help" said a voice in a whisper that made Sokka jump almost 10 feet in the air. "Don't scare me like that whoever you are" said Sokka.

"Sokka, you should've seen you-" I stopped abruptly, staring into the face of another Fire Sage. I got into a fighting stance and asked "Who are you?" "My name is Shyu and I know where to take you guys" said the Sage. "How can we trust him?" asked Sokka. "Do you have a better idea?" I asked Sokka, instantly putting the fight out of him.

"Follow me" said the Sage as he led them through a lot more corridors. "Oh I've been meaning to ask, why are all the Fire Sages trying to kill me?" I asked. "It's because the Fire Nation forced them to work for them and not the Avatar, my family was the only one that stayed faithful to the Avatar. Ah here we are" said Shyu as we stopped in front of a massive brown door with the Fire Nation insignia, five intertwining circles and five dragon heads.

"How do we get in there?" asked Aang quizzically."Only a fully-realized Avatar or five firebenders can open it" said Shyu. "Gohan, do you know what a fully-realized Avatar is?" asked Katara. "As a matter o' fact I do" I said. I shut my eyes and when I opened them they were glowing and at that the door swung open and Team Avatar and Shyu walked through the door.

Suddenly a force shoved Katara, Aang, Sokka, and Shyu out of the room, leaving me the only one in the room. I turned back to the statue and saw light shine into its eyes. Suddenly smoke filled the room and I ended up sitting on a hill facing a ghost-like image of an old man with a short white beard, long hair tied up in a small bun with a headpiece and a red robe.

"Gohan, since we have a short amount of time to talk let's get straight to the point" said Roku. "By summer's end Sozin's comet will come and it will enhance the power of all firebenders and-". "I'm sorry to interrupt but are you done" I interrupted in a bored tone. "If you're worried about the enhanced firebending don't be because I doubt a little more fire can stop me" I said with a proud saiyan smirk.

"Well you might as well know about the people the Fire Nation are working with" said Roku. "The leader of the invisible warriors has a powerful transformation brought on by the comet" said Roku. "How do you know about them" I said with widening eyes. "The reason why I know about them is because I fought them before" said Roku.

"Well is that all you wanted to tell me?" I asked. "Actually there is one last thing I needed to tell you" said Roku. "What is it?" I asked. "All of your friends have been captured by Fire Nation soldiers so here's what you're going to do" said Roku.

No one's P.O.V

"He should be coming out any second now" whispered a Sage. As soon as as he finished talking the door to the sanctuary exploded revealing Gohan with a hand thrusted forward. Gohan slowly put his hand down as Team Avatar gave sighs of relief. Gohan formed his hand into a gun sign and shot a ki blast at all of the captives' ropes releasing them.

Katara was about to hug Gohan out of jot then stopped, seeing the sight in front of her. Gohan's messy and unruly hair (Cell Games Saga hair) was flickering from black to gold and his eyes from blue to turquoise. "Guys leave now I don't think I can hold of Roku's anger for much longer!" yelled Gohan. "Gohan" whispered Katara. "What the hell Katara do as I say now!" yelled Gohan causing Katara to run for the exit.

When Gohan was sure they weren't in the building, Gohan let Roku take over. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Roku/Gohan as his power shot outward and made the building come crashing down on him.

"Oh no" thought Katara as she ran to the rubble. She dropped to her knees as tears streamed down her eyes. Then an arm shot out from the rubble and then Gohan slowly pulled himself out from the rubble. "GOHAN!" was all Gohan heard before someone slammed into him, sending both crashing down. Gohan looked up into the face of Katara causing both to blush.

As both got up and regained their composure, Katara was furious. "WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING MAKING THAT BUILDING COME DOWN ON YOU!" yelled Katara so loud it put Chi Chi to shame. In fact Gohan was half expecting the frying pan of doom to come crashing down on him. Thankfully Sokka broke up the tension.

"Katara you can argue with your boyfriend later now let's go" said Sokka hopping on Appa. "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" shouted Katara blushing furiously. "Sokka's right let's go" said Aang getting on Appa, followed by Katara. "Yip, yip!" shouted Appa causing Appa to rise with Gohan following close behind.
