It wasn't until the morning did Aang tell Zuko about what happened with Katara. Well tell is not the right word Zuko would use as Aang basically told him he'd have to confront Katara himself.

"She wouldn't tell me Zuko. You need to speak with her yourself." Aang said before leaving. It was almost time for training.

Zuko had tried that of course but apparently that wasn't on Katara's agenda. Every time he'd get close to her she'd find a way to leave the scene before he could speak. It was aggravating to say the least and it totally didn't make sense. Wasn't their relationship getting better? Hadn't they started a fresh slate? All these questions were roaming around in his he—

SMACK

That was the sound of Sokka's fist impacting against Zuko's face.

"Oops sorry, I thought you'd block that." Sokka apologized as he rushed over to Zuko's body. He held out his hand to help him up.

"What was that anyways?You seem unfocused." Sokka said.

Zuko grabbed his outstretched hand and hauled himself up.

"It's nothing. You just surprised me."

"That's Iceseal shit. Like I'd gotten that lucky before...you're bleeding by the way. You should go see Katara."

Zuko reached for where he felt the warm liquid and was a bit surprised that Sokka could see that he was bleeding considering it was on his dark red scales.

"I'm fine. Anyways you and Aang are first priority."

Sokka merely shrugged his shoulders and got back into fighting position. Aang was behind Zuko with his wind staff as they prepared to flank him. It was a maneuver Iroh and Bato had gone over with them to try against Zuko. It was effective but wasn't easy.

Zuko brought up his Dao sabers and beckoned at them to 'bring it'.

Katara watched as her brother and Aang continuously charged at Zuko. They were better than they were the first time they fought him because they were more in sync and followed each other lead.

Doesn't mean Zuko was a pushover, not at all. He held his own nicely and fought with refined and sharp skills. She couldn't help but stare and admire his martial art prowess, it was truly a sight.

As she continued to watch their training Katara couldn't help but think about what happened not too long ago. She felt guilty that she left Zuko like that after dinner with not even an explanation. She didn't know what came over her. First she was looking into his eyes but then all of a sudden she started seeing visions when she was young...she saw her mother and it appeared they were out in was so great until their ship was invaded by an Agnimitra ship that seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Her mother had hid her away in a closet out of view from the Drogons that were heading in their direction. Once they got to her mother they beat her and took her away. Katara could see the face of one of the Drogons and she would never forget his cold golden eyes. Katara had to leave Zuko before she did something she'd regret.

Apparently she had been zoning out for too long as she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

" um Katara.. a little help."

There stood Zuko who had a few cuts on his arms and a dark mark across his cheek. Katara hadn't answered right away as she turned her focus on her brother and Aang who didn't look much better but even worse. She mentally sighed at the work ahead of her.

Sokka stood watch around their camp in look out for anyone who looked suspicious. He and Aang were both healed by Katara first and Zuko said that training was over for today. That left him with nothing to do other than keep watch. He hated doing this because there was never anyone coming here which made this pointless.

"Man I'm bored." he said as he started to pick his nose. He started heading a bit further away from camp to explore a bit.

Suddenly he heard faint sounds coming from the other side of the nearby foliage. He went to investigate and found on the other side was a cliff and a river below it.

He was shocked to see people on the river bank training in magic and martial arts.

What confused him even further however was that they didn't look like men but they had curves unlike men and bosoms as well. They wore cool sleek armor and helmets that looked like fish bowls.

"Wow.." Sokka said.

"Wow indeed." said another voice.

Sokka nearly jumped out of his scales as he turned around to face the sneak but all he soon saw was darkness.

"Chief I've found some creep watching us!"

Suddenly all the action at the bottom of the river bank came to a stop.

"Bring him."

It was Zuko's turn to get healed once Aang left them to go feed Appa. Half of Katara wanted to explain to Zuko what was wrong while the other half wanted to hide in a hole and never come out. He sat down near her like Aang did for treatment. Katara had healed all of the cuts she could see but when she got near the one on his face she nearly froze.

This was like the position they were in last night. Only they were sitting this time. Katara couldn't help but get nervous, she was glad Zuko's eyes were closed or she wouldn't know what to do.

"Zuko.." she said at nearly a whisper.

"Yea?" he said as he opened one eye.

" I'm sorry..about last night.."

She could see the shocked expression on his face as he heard her apology. This time when she looked into his eyes she didn't shy away or see any visions.

" Katara, what happened? I accept your apology but I have too know what made you react to me like that...I had thought we started over."

"We have...it's just that I saw something disturbing..and I couldn't handle it." she said with hesitation.

"You don't have to tell me if you if you don't want to. I was worried that maybe you didn't want to make this friendship work. I'm just glad that wasn't the case."

" I'm sorry I made you feel that way..but your right, I'm not exactly sure I want to talk about it just yet." she told him.

They both stopped what they were doing when Iroh came to them in a rushed state.

"Lady Katara, I'm afraid we have some upsetting news. Your brother is missing."

It was dark and the air felt warm. He felt light headed and slightly woozy. He tried to remember what last happened but his head kept throbbing in pain. Was I hit? he thought. He tried to move from where he was but soon found he was restricted by cold chains.

"It's pointless to try and move" said a voice. It sounded robotic and sorta masculine. Sokka turned his head in the direction the voice came from but couldn't see anything but darkness.

" Who are you?" he said in a voice to sound stronger than he felt.

" I'll ask the questions here," said the voice.

"You spied on my team members as we were training and I need to know why. Who are you?"

"H-Hey I wasn't spying! I didn't even know you were there. I'm camped out nearby and I accidentally came upon you guys. I'm Sokka by the way."

"Wait Sokka? As in High Chief Hakoda's son?"

"Yeah…?" He was confused that the voice knew who he was.

Am I that famous? Better yet is that a good thing or bad thing?

"Sokka it's me Suki." said the voice as soon as the lights came on. Suki soon took off her black helmet and her voice went from distorted to her normal feminine one.

" Suki! What the hell! I'm so confused." This completely blew his mind. He hadn't been expecting to see her of all people here. Suki was from a noble family of the first quadrant, only reason Sokka knew her was because everytime he went to his father's banquets with foreigners she'd be there with her grandfather and mother. She always dressed ladylike but seeing her garbed in this dark green sleek suit was something else. Now that he thought about it he was wondering where she was during the attack on his home planet.

"How are you here Sokka? Don't you know this planet is holding the Magic Games."

"Well yeah. Me and Katara are here to get to Oma. Apparently we had to sign up for the games first to do so."

"Oh, they recently added that rule. They needed more competitors or whatever. Why are you headed to Oma?" Suki asked.

"Our planet was attacked by Drogons and my dad sent me and Katara with a boy named Aang here for safety...though I'm not sure on that anymore."

"Why not?"

"Why hide from our enemies when we could bring the fight to them. At first I was okay with dad's plan considering what we had that Agnimitra wanted but if they wanted was so powerful then we could use it against them."

"What do you mean Sokka? What do you guys have?" Suki asked.

"Do you know anything about the Rings?"

Aang sat high in one of the big trees overlooking the encampment that they thought Sokka was in. Aang was first to arrive to the area as he took off on his glider. He started to access the area for any enemies to inform his soon to arrive friends.

Aang soon heard a faint rustle sound come from a nearby branch behind him. His body tensed and he leapt to another branch when he heard a whistling sound shoot out towards him.

"Damn it. I missed" said an distorted voice.

"Who's there!" Aang said.

"I was hoping to catch another creep as silently as possible again but I guess not."

The voice soon made itself known by coming out from their hiding spot.

"You will surrender willingly or be restrained."

"W-What I haven't done anything!..yet" Aang said the last part in a whisper.

"Why are you here?"

"For our friend you took. Just give him back and we'll leave."

"So there's more of you. Well this will help things."

Aang soon saw something he didn't think was possible. The person soon split up into five different versions of themselves.

"What in the.."

"It's clone magic. I'll have them scout the rest of your friends." the mystery person said before the clones split off in different directions.

Before Aang knew what was coming there was a flurry of blades thrown in his direction. He used his Air magic to dodge them and twirled his glider to channel his magic to knock her off the tree.

When his opponent fell off Aang almost celebrated until he saw them swing off the one tree branch below and launch at him.

He barely dodged the attack and proceeded to get some distance away from his attacker. But as he leapt away he felt something hook around his ankle and pull him down.

"Ugh!" he said as he landed roughly. Before he could try to raise himself, he felt the wire tug on his leg and drag him along the tree.

He could see his attacker on a branch higher than him with their arm out with a line that was pulling his restraint.

Aang called upon his magic to cut the line and flipped into the air onto a branch parallel to his foe.

"You've got tricks I see," the distorted voice spoke," I must admit I haven't seen that type of magic before. You don't look like the Ara I caught or a Cros are you from?"

"My name is Aang,I'm from the third quadrant. I'm an Ahmet." Aang said with pride.

"An Ahmet huh..I've read about what happened to the third quadrant. I thought there was no survivors."

Aang could detect disbelief in their voice and it kinda made him mad.

"I survived, and I'm sure I'm not alone."

"No need to get offended. But since you told me who you were I might as well return the courtesy."

Aang watched as the mask came off to reveal a light skinned woman with sharp green eyes.

"Your a woman!" Aang shrieked.

"Yes and my name is Terra." Terra laughed out at Aang's reaction.

"Don't think I'm a push over now...or you'll regret it." she said as she pulled out two electrical batons.

Aang could see that she wasn't threatening him but only insuring a promise.

Don't be afraid young Aang

' Najam?'Aang thought as he was surprised to hear him again.

Yes it is me. I will assist you in this fight.

'But how?'

As soon as Aang asked that question he felt a surge of magic flow through his body. He watched as a white glow left the ring and spread throughout his body.

"What in the?" Terra said as she was confused on what was happening to the boy.

She knew something was about to go down once the boy Aang stance changed into a fighting one.

"Let's see what you're made of." Terra said before jumping at him.

The battle between Aang and Terra is next! how will the rest fair.

find out next time(hopefully soon)
