Onward to Oma

Sokka had finally gotten Katara to calm down once they got back on the ship. She was angry at him because he hadn't told her of what their father had mentioned about The Great One. He of course mentioned that she had no right to be angry because she never told him how or where she learned to fight like that considering Ara woman were forbidden to. It shut her up pretty quickly and Sokka had to pat himself on the back for being so smart.

They were almost to the medical bay when they saw Aang limping out of the threshold.

"Aang your awake!" Katara said as she rushed over to check on him.

"Good to see you up kid" Sokka said as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"How are you? Are you feeling okay?" Katara asked worriedly.

" I'm fine you guys. Just need to get used to my legs again. How long was I out for?" Aang asked.

"I'd say about a month or two. Katara said you were comatose. So I'm surprised your up right now." Sokka said while scratching his chin.

Aang explained to them what he saw and went through in his coma. He told them of meeting the Ring and his journey through his people's past. He left some of his experiences out because they were too painful to retell.

"Wow. So like now you have the rings power or something?" Sokka asked. Aang nodded his head." I suppose. He hadn't actually explained to me how I could use it though."

"Well the ring helped you out of that coma. It's done something right so far. I'll take my leave here. We're heading for the planet Oma." Sokka said before turning to leave.

Katara and Aang stood in front of the medical bay for awhile before Katara decided to check to make sure Aang was truly good to be up.

"Let me give you a final check up before we head off into space again Aang." Katara said giving him a warm smile.

Aang couldn't help but smile back at Katara. He supposed not all was wrong with the world as long as she was by his side.

Sokka had finally fueled up the ship and started its course off the planet figured it'd take about another month or two to get to Oma. Now that he had truly nothing to do but pilot the ship his mind kept going back to his father and home world. Was everyone ok? Had Agnimitra made it passed their defenses? He didn't doubt his people defensive power, in fact he helped design some of it. He just couldn't stop worrying over the what if's and if he had miscalculated somewhere.

He sighed as he tried to push away the thoughts that plagued him. He needed to focus on the bigger picture.

As Sokka was distracted on "focusing" he didn't notice two ships coming on either side of his ship on the radar. But he did notice when the ship shook as it was put in a stasis field.

"What the hell?!" Sokka yelled.

He then heard a loud voice coming from the ship on the right of him.

MAN THIS WAS AN EASY CATCH

YOUR SHIP AND EVERYTHING ON IT NOW BELONGS TO THE PIRATE GROUP FREEDOM FIGHTERS

GIVE IT UP CALMLY AND WE MAY LET YOU LOT LIVE.

Suddenly the ship on the left of Sokka started speaking as well.

STOP YOUR YABBERING SMELLERBEE. WE'RE JUST TAKING THEIR SUPPLIES. WE DON'T NEED THEIR SHIP. WE'RE BOARDING NOW.

Sokka saw that the ships doors were being forced open so he rushed to stop the invaders. On his way there he ran into Katara and Aang who were questioning him on what was going on.

"Dad's ship is being raided by pirates!" Sokka yelled as he ran passed them.

Katara and Aang ran after Sokka to help in anyway they could.

They made it to the ships doors as they saw them being opened. They hid behind Appa who was resting near a far wall.

Soon they saw the pirates come in through the airlock. They were dressed in some sort of dark green metallic armor and it appeared to be about 20 of them.

"Woo the ships interior is nice" whistled a young looking pirate.

" It's pretty bare though The Duke. You'd think a ship this big would be packing more cargo." said a bigger gruffer one.

" Hold on what's that!" yelled The Duke.

"It's huge. Looks like...uh.. I don't know" said the bigger one scratching his head.

"Well whatever it is it must have some value. Bring it along as I search for supplies." Spoke a new voice.

"Sure thing Smellerbee." They both replied.

"Hold it!" Sokka said coming out of the hiding spot.

"You won't steal off this ship! Not on my watch!"

The one named Smellerbee turned around and smirked at Sokka.

"Don't make me laugh. You and what army?"

The pirates pulled out their weapons and started to laugh at Sokka. Sokka took a step forward to show he wasn't backing down but he knew his chances of winning were extremely low.

"We're his army!" Katara yelled as she and Aang came out of the hiding spot to fight alongside Sokka.

"Katara it isn't safe here. Take Aang and go hide somewhere!" Sokka yelled at her for doing something this stupid.

"And leave you to fight alone. No way!"

The pirates started laughing at their bickering until the one named Smellerbee whistled to get their attention.

"Hold on, Katara? As in Jet's girlfriend?"

Everyone turned silent and looked towards Katara.
