Zuko and I were standing on the deck of the ship. Zuko was looking through a telescope..
"Sailing into Fire Nation waters…Of all the foolish things you've done in your sixteen years, Prince Zuko, this is the most foolish." Iroh said
"I have no choice, Uncle." Zuko said
"Have you completely forgotten that the Fire Lord banished you? What if you're caught?" Iroh asked
"(Pulls away from the telescope to talk to his uncle.) I'm chasing the Avatar. My father will understand why I am returning home." Zuko said
"You give him too much credit. My brother is not the understanding type. And what about Kida, what do you think your fathers going to do with her?" Iroh asked
Zuko doesn't say anything, he looks at me then back into the telescope.
"There they are. Helmsman! Full steam ahead." Zuko said
I turned and headed into the ship.
"A blockade." Zuko said
I stopped and turned and looked at there they were a line of ships.
"Technically you are still in Earth Kingdom waters. Turn back now and they cannot arrest you." Iroh said
Zuko said nothing, he looked up at Appa, who was still fling straight towards the blockade.
"He's not turning around." Zuko said
"Please Prince Zuko. If the Fire Nation, capture you, there is nothing I can do. Do not follow the Avatar. Think about Kida." Iroh said
I stand in the doorway, looking at Zuko. I knew he wasn't going to stop and tunr around. He lowers his head, and clenches his hands into fists.
"I'm sorry Uncle, I'm sorry. Kida." I heard Zuko say
The he lifted his head, shot his hand forward commandingly.
"Run the blockade." Zuko said
I see one of the ships from the blockade shoot something up at Appa. One of the fireballs that were being launched hits the ship.
"Prince Zuko! The engines are damaged. We need to stop and make repairs." the engineer said
"Do not stop this ship." Zuko yells
"We're on a collision course." Iroh said
"We can make it." Zuko said
We weren't going to make it. I knew we weren't not at this speed and not with a damaged engine. I closed my eyes, I moved my hand slightly, I froze the water around the blockade ships, so they current move in further. We pass the blockade ships. I see Zhao looking down at us, and Zuko looking up at them. I knew from where I was standing that he couldn't see me.
"What's he up to, Uncle? Why didn't Commander Zhao arrest me?" Zuko asked
"Because he wants to follow you. He knows you'll lead him to the prize you're both after: the Avatar." Iroh said
"If Zhao wants to follow a trail of smoke, then that's exactly what I'll let him do." Zuko said
Zuko heads towards where I'm at I move so I'm standing in the shadows. I follow behind him and Iroh. The head deeper into the ship Zuko gets into this small ship. His talking to Iroh so I get into it.
"Uncle, keep heading north. Zhao will follow the smoke trail, while I use it as a cover." Zuko said
Iroh grunts in doubt, stroking his beard deep in thought. Zuko starts to float away from the main ship. Disappearing in the cloud of smoke. We quickly arrive at Roku's Island. Zuko gets off his mini ship and heads towards the building I go to follow but I hear someone else pull up to the island I see Zhao getting off a similar ship. I waited, till he was far enough away. I head towards the building and used my ice to shoot me up to one of the higher windows. I entered and soon found Zuko. I ran over to him.
"Whatever you are going to do it now, Zhao is here." I said
Zuko moves and we see Aang. Zuko grabs him. I hear my brother and sister say something. Zuko steps out from behind the column.
"The Avatar's coming with me." Zuko said
The other sages use this surprise to reclaim the upper hand.
"Close the doors, quickly." Zuko said
I see Katara and Sokka being chained to a pillar. Aang breaks free, spinning behind Zuko to send him down the stairs with an air bending blast. Aang runs towards Katara and Sokka.
"Go." Katara said
Aang listens without hesitation, luring to charge for the door guarded by two sages. He leaps into the air to avoid the Great Fire Sage's fire punch. Aang bounces off his hands from each of the two sage's heads before sailing through the door just as it closes.
"He made it." Katara said
Everyone looks away as the door seals with a blinding flash of white light. Zuko and the other sages minus, one. They launched fire blasts into the door locks, but nothing happens.
"Why isn't it working. It's sealed shut?" Zuko asked
"It must have been the light. Avatar Roku doesn't want us inside." one of the sages said
Zuko turns to the Sage that was standing by Sokka and Katara.
"Why did you help the Avatar?" Zuko asked
I stepped around one of the pillars.
"He was doing his job." I said
Sokka and Katara gasped.
"The girl is right. It was once the sages' duty. It is still our duty." Shyu said
We hear clapping. We turn around to see Zhao. He approaches with six firebender guards.
"What a moving and heartfielt performance. I'm certain the Fire Lord will understand, when you explain why you betrayed him." Zhao said
All the other fire sages bow their heads to him.
"Commander Zhao." they said
"Prince Zuko and Kida. It was a noble effort Prince Zuko, but your little smokescreen didn't work. (Zuko scowls sharply. Firebenders step behind him, seizing his arms.) Two traitors in one day, the Fire Lord will be pleased. As for you Kida. (He steps forward and grabs me pinning my arms to my side, and then holding me against him) you will becoming with me." Zhao said
"Let her go." Zuko said
"Nope." Zhao said
"You're too late, Zhao. The Avatar's inside and the doors are sealed." Zuko said
"No matter. Soon or later, he has to come out." Zhao said
I was chained to a pole along with Zuko. My sister and brother were chained to a pole in front of us.
"When those doors open, unleash all your firepower." Zhao said
"How's Aang gonna make it out of this?" Katara asked
"How are we going to make it out of this, and get Kida back?" Sokka asked
"He's the Avatar. He'll be find, and you two will get out of this unharmed." I said
"How are you so sure?" Sokka asked
"I just am. I love you two." I said
We heard the door's unlock. I looked down at he chains then back to Zuko.
"Zuko you need to do that thing we practiced." I said
Zuko nodded I looked down at the chains, I heated my body up. The chains started to melt.
"Ready…" Zhao said
The door's open, the light from inside the room fades. Once the light is gone a pair of glowing white eyes in the darkness.
"No. Aang." Katara yells
"Fire." Zhao yelled
Zhao, the guards, and the remaining sages fire into the room. The wall of fire amasses. Circling its new host Avatar Roku, eyes aglow, is revealed behind the flames untouched.
"Avatar Roku." Shyu said
Avatar Roku draws the circling fire together in one motion. He sends it forward in one powerful wave that sears the room, blasting the offenders off their feet and melting the chains binding Katara, Sokka, and Shyu. I grabbed Zuko's hand and pull him away from the pillar.
"Avatar Roku is going to destroy the temple! We have to get out of here." Shyu said
"Not without Aang." Katara yells
I grab Zuko's hand and pull him to window I used to get into the temple.
"Jump." I said
We both jumped and I used my ice to make a slide so we just slid down to the ground. Once we were on the ground I waved my hand so the ice disappeared. We ran back to the mini ship. We got in it, and he drove us back to the big ship. Neither one of us said anything, we didn't say anything in the mini ship, or when we arrived back to the big ship. We both got out of the mini ship I headed straight to one of the training room. I took all my anger out on a few of the dummies. I heard someone walk into the room.
"I take it things didn't go as planned." Iroh said
I stopped beating up the dummy. I turned and face Iroh.
"No it didn't go as planned. It went horrible. And the worst part is my sister and brother didn't seem to care that I was even there they were to wrapped up with Aang." I said
"I haven't had the pleasure of meeting your siblings. But I do believe that they love you." Iroh said
"Thanks Iroh. I think I'll head to bed it's been a long day." I said
"Goodnight Kida." Iroh said
"Goodnight Iroh." I said
I left the room and headed to Zuko's room. When I entered I saw him laying in his bed looking up at his ceiling. Neither of us said anything. I changed and laid down and fell asleep.
