Chapter 9: Awakening .
Katara watched her strange new friend sleeping peacefully, Momo sleeping next to him. They shouldn't be to far from the ship. The ship wasn't far from where they where. Not that they were staying long.
The original plan was to wait for Aang to get better than travel to the fire nation so they would be ready for the invasion when the eclipse came. Now they had to wait for there new friend to heal before they where ready to travel.
Suddenly Katara spotted the ship off in the distance. "There it is!" Aang turned Appa in the direction of the ship, the giant flying bison landing with a loud thud. Katara and Zuko helped Aang lift Quasimodo from the saddle as they stepped onto the ship.
A familiar face was there to great them. There you are. Your father was getting worried Katara. Said Bato, Katara's uncle. Of course, he was thought Katara. Ever since she had been reunited with her father, he'd been a bit overprotective.
She sighed. Tell dad were fine we just got a bit sidetracked that's all. That's when he noticed the strange boy. I see you found that friend you were looking for. Katara didn't answer as she marched past him. Zuko and Aang following after her.
He's a strange fellow isn't he, Bato said to himself. "Oh, yeah he may looks strange but he's one powerful earthbender. "That boys an earthbender?"
Yep you should have seen him fighting Azula. He and toph were like this and Azula was like- Ok Sokka we get it said toph grabbing Sokka by the ear. Hmmm. If this boy were as strong an earthbender as Sokka let on they could use someone like him during the invasion.
Those firebender wouldn't stand a chance! Especially without there bending. Then again it really all came down to Aang.
Darkness. That was all he could see. He felt so weak and cold. "Where, Where am I?" Shhh. Its alright Quasimodo, your alright. "K-Katara? He tried to sit up but felt dizzy. You need to lay down you have a fever. He obeyed reluctantly.
He coughed and turned on his side. He felt a cold damp rag pressed against his forehead. Here., He felt water trickle down his dry throat. "T-Thank you. He lay back down, weak, and tired. Being out the cold for so long had probably been what caused him to get sick. He shuddered and curled up under the blankets and fell asleep.
Quasimodo woke with a start. He sighed. He had, had another nightmare again. This time however he knew what the blue flames from his dream meant. He sat up and looked around the room. It was quite and sparse lit by a few candles.
Then he saw it. On the wall of the room was a fire nation banner. His eyes widened terrified. Had they been caught by the fire nation? Where were his friends? "I have to get out of here!" He stumbled towards the door and opened it.
He looked around the empty corridors of the ship. There was no one. The coast was clear. He ran down the vacant halls as fast as he could. But when he came around a corner, he ran right into fire nation soldiers.
He ran back the way he came, the guards shouting behind him. He saw a door that lead up to the deck and leapt out onto the deck. He was about to jump overboard when he heard Aang and Katara's voice right behind him.
"Quasi?" Are you ok? He turned to see his friends sitting right behind him and he collapsed exhausted onto the deck. He looked up to see the worried faces of his friends starring back at him.
"What's going on out here?" Katara looked up to see her dad standing on the deck. Were fine dad. Said Katara. He noticed the strange looking boy. I see our guest is awake Katara why don't you and Zuko make some tea for our guest he looks like he could use some.
Quasimodo saw a hand held out in front of him. Quasimodo stared at the stranger with apprehension. He looked a lot like Sokka and Katara .
He must be their father he definitely looked like it. He took his hand and stood. He sat down next to toph as he watched the stranger sit down across from them.
How are you feeling? He looked over at Toph. Oh I-I'm Fine he said trying to control his stutter. Katara came back handing him a cup of tea and draping a blanket over his shoulders. "So….My son tells me you're a really powerful Earthbender." He almost choked on his tea. Y-Yes, I-I mean I guess so
"We could really use someone like you for the invasion." Invasion? You didn't tell him? Dad can we talk to him, alone. He nodded and walked off. Quasi There something we- Your planning on invading the fire nation, aren't you? Yes, but-I almost barley escaped the last time, and you want to go back!?
Listen to her will you! This isn't just about you, snapped Zuko. Look we know how you feel about the fire nation, but we have a plan, said Sokka. There's a solar eclipse on the day of the eclipse that will leave all firebenders defenceless. How? Quasimodo asked confused. The sun gives firebenders power without the sun- Without the sun they cant bend! His eyes widened.
That's brilliant. Where you find out this information? In a spirit library in the desert. Why do you call it a spirit library. Because the library's owner was a giant Owl literally. He wasn't to happy about us using his library for war. I can Imagine. Quasimodo muttered.
So, when is the invasion? In a few days, why? He sighed. I'm In. What? Are you sure, Katara asked. Anything to get back at Azula for the way she treated me, And Aang can finally defeat the fire lord. Without his bending he's no match for Aang. Welcome to team Avatar Quasi!
