Chapter 22: Stop Ganondorf!
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, Knuckles, Carmelita, Alibaba, Morgiana, Aang, Katara, and Link leave the Hyrule castle town and cross the bridge leading back to the Hyrule Fields and make their way back to the forest and go through the forest and arrive back at the lake area.
"Um, Link, I know you know what you're doing, but where are we going?" Noel asked and Link points at the end of the lake area and keeps going.
"We should keep following him and we'll see where he's taking us." Alibaba said.
"Yeah." Noel said.
The group follow Link through the lake area and arrive at the opened area of the forest but then Black Xetis appear and attack the group but Noel defeats the Black Xetis and they keep going through the opened forest and later on the group are now in a valley and they see a bridge and cross it to reach the next side of the valley and continue on until they arrive at what looks like a deserted wasteland with dead trees around and the group move through the wasteland until Noel sees something from afar and it looks like a castle and so the group come closer and they see that it is in fact a castle.
"What's up with this castle?" Knuckles said.
"Do you think this Ganondorf is in there?" Aang asked and Link nods.
"Then let's get in there and save Zelda." Carmelita said.
"Right." Noel said.
The group begin to enter the castle but just then a fireball comes down at the group who back off from the fireball that hits the ground.
"What's stoppin' us?" Ken asked.
"Someone or something doesn't want us to enter the castle." Espio said.
"Up there!" Banjo said pointing up.
The group see a shadow figure jump from the top of the castle and then lands in front of the group.
"Who is that?" Alibaba asked.
The shadow figure reveals itself and it's a boy with shaggy black hair, wearing a red and black short sleeved outfit, and has a red burnt scar on the left side of his face looking menacingly at the group.
"No..." Katara asked.
"It can't be..." Aang said.
"You...know him?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. It's...Zuko." Katara said.
"I was expecting you'd come here to stop Lord Ganondorf. Well, you should have bothered." The boy named Zuko said.
"Zuko...he's sounding...different." Aang said.
"And he just said 'Lord Ganondorf'? Is he working for Ganondorf?" Alibaba asked.
"That would make sense. Different or not, we're still going into that castle, even if we have to beat Zuko." Katara said.
"You can't beat me. You cannot even defeat Lord Ganondorf. Since my meeting with Lord Ganondorf, I'm free...free to use my Firebending without being restrained by anyone!" Zuko said.
"He's not even thinking straight. Ganondorf must have done something to him." Aang said.
"It's almost like...the darkness has gotten control of him..." Noel said.
"I knew you'd say something like that. Lord Ganondorf also told me the truth. He told me you fear me because I'm more powerful than any of you!" Zuko said.
"What the hell's this guy's beef with us?" Ken asked.
"This is getting ridiculous! Get out of the way, Zuko! We're stopping Ganondorf and save Zelda! You can't expect to win against us!" Katara said.
"That's a lie, you filthy Waterbender! You and the Avatar are both weak and have been nothing more than an obstacle. It's about time I finally put an end to that, along with the girl!" Zuko said.
"I think we'll have to fight..." Noel said.
"Why does he want to attack us?" Cream asked.
"Because he's a prince of an enemy nation who has no remorse for his actions." Katara said.
"I don't think that's it...I think Ganondorf is controlling him..." Noel said.
"Then let's do something about that." Banjo said.
"Enough! It's time I prove my power!" Zuko said as he takes out two broadswords and lunges at the group.
Zuko slashes at the group with his broadswords but Noel blocks the broadswords with her Keyblade and manages to push Zuko back but Zuko skids back and fires a fireball at Noel who dodges and casts Blizzard while Katara bends water from her pouch and water whips Zuko who creates a fire whip and they clash their different element whips but Zuko unleashes a jet of fire at Katara but Aang uses air to pull Katara back and then summons a rock wall from the ground to block the fire but Zuko unleashes a flame kick to strike at Aang but Knuckles digs underground and the rises at Zuko and delivers an uppercut but Zuko recovers and slashes at Knuckles with his broadswords but Espio slashes with his shuriken and then delivers ninja kicks but Zuko unleashes two fire waves at Espio but Grace gets behind and then uses Tackle to strike at Zuko who slashes at Grace with broadswords but Alibaba slashes with his knife at Zuko who counters with his broadswords and the two princes clash against their weapons and they lock their blades but Zuko delivers a kick at Alibaba's abdomen and knocks him back but Morgiana delivers a strong kick at Zuko while Cream sends Cheese to strike at Zuko but Zuko unleashes another fireball at the group but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol but Zuko attacks with fire whips but Ken unleashes magic music waves while Link slashes with his sword and then throws bombs but Zuko unleashes a fire kick but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade and then uses Spin Slash but Zuko unleashes another jet of fire.
The group dodge the jet of fire and Katara bends her water into ice daggers and throws them at Zuko who uses fire to get rid of the ice daggers and then lunges at Katara and tries to slash at her but Momo flies onto Zuko's face distracting him allowing Aang to blow air at Zuko and knock him back but Zuko recovers and throws another fireball at Aang who dodges while Link shoots arrows at Zuko who deflects the arrows with his broadswords and then unleashes three fire waves at Link but Alibaba uses his Djinn Amon's fire to counter the fire waves and then triple slashes with his knife but Zuko counters and slashes with his broadswords but Ken blocks with his guitar and then casts Thunder at Zuko who dodges and throws three fireballs at Ken but Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb while Banjo has Kazooie charge at Zuko but Zuko lashes at the group with his fire whips but Morgiana leaps at Zuko and triple kicks and then delivers a strong punch but Zuko strikes back with a fire swipe but Grace tail whips at Zuko while Carmelita pistol whips at Zuko who retaliates with slashing with his broadswords and then unleashes another stream of fire but Espio palm strikes and then slashes with his shuriken and then delivers a somersault ninja kick sending Zuko down while Knuckles double punches and then delivers a headbutt to strike at Zuko but Zuko claps his hands together and then unleashes more fire but Noel uses Strike Raid but Zuko dodges and slashes at Noel with his broadswords but Noel slashes back with her Keyblade and then casts Blizzard to strike at Zuko.
Zuko strikes back by unleashing a barrage of fireballs at the group but Link blocks the fireballs with his shield and then throws his boomerang but Zuko dodges but the boomerang comes back from behind and strikes Zuko's head but Zuko lashes at Link with his fire whip but Katara clashes with her water whip again and Katara successfully strikes at Zuko with her water whip but Zuko recovers himself and delivers a fire kick at Katara but Alibaba delivers a roundhouse slash with his knife but Zuko slashes back with his broadsword and spin slashes with his broadswords but Grace uses Bite while Banjo and Kazooie roll at Zuko but Zuko unleashes flame waves at the group but Aang uses his Airbending to create wind barriers on the group for protection while Knuckles delivers a drill punch to attack Zuko but Zuko unleashes two jets of fire at the group but Morgiana delivers a flip kick at Zuko while Carmelita shoots three electric shots from her shock pistol but Zuko slashes with his broadswords and then delivers a roundhouse fire kick but Ken shoots magic music notes and then casts Gravity while Cream and Cheese spin together and strike but Zuko delivers another fire swipe but Espio uses Leaf Swirl but Zuko unleashes streams of fire to get the group but Noel casts Aero to protect the group and then slashes with her Keyblade but Zuko slashes with his broadswords to counter Noel slashes but Noel uses Edge Slash to strike at Zuko and then casts Blizzard again to get Zuko and successfully knocks Zuko but Zuko recovers himself and withdraws his broadswords.
"I'll deal with you later." Zuko said as he unleashes another jet of fire at the group and then leaves into the castle.
"He's going into the castle." Knuckles said.
"If Ganondork's in there, then that's where we'll find him, Zelda, and that Heart Crystal." Ken said.
"We need to go in. We'll save Zelda and stop Ganondorf's plan." Noel said and Link nods and the group enter the castle.
The group enter the castle and they look around the entrance of the castle.
"This castle doesn't look very comfortable..." Cream said.
"Whatever. This castle's nothin' special." Ken said.
"Zelda has to be held captive somewhere. We'll have to search the entire castle for her." Alibaba said and Link nods.
"Then let's search. Ganondorf couldn't have hidden Zelda somewhere." Carmelita said.
The group go through the castle's entrance and Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack the group but Noel slashes with her Keyblade and then casts Gravity while Ken bashes with his guitar while Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs while Grace uses Growl while Espio throws shurikens while Cream sends Cheese to attack while Knuckles double punches while Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Alibaba slashes with his knife while Morgiana flip kicks while Aang unleashes whirlwinds while Katara water whips while Link slashes with his sword and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless and go through a hallway and they climb up stairs leading them to a room that has a red and orange checkered floor.
"Oh, my. I think Ganondorf has made a trap somewhere." Banjo said.
"Then we should watch out for what Ganondorf has in store for us." Alibaba said and Link nods.
The group go through the checkered floored room but as they go through Grace places his paw on a red checkered floor and it causes a row of spikes to rise from the red checkered spot making Grace back off to Noel scared.
"Grace, what is it?" Noel asked as she looks at the spikes. "That must be a trap set by Ganondorf..." Noel said.
"So we figured that one out. Avoid the red ones." Aang said.
The group go through the room while avoiding the red checkered floors and only touching the orange checkered floor and later on the group reach the end of the room but more Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack the group but Noel casts Thunder to defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the group continue through the castle and arrive at a different room that has no floor but with stony platforms and so the group jump from platform to platform until they reach the end of the room and arrive at another hallway leading them to another room that has another checkered floor and they go through while looking out for more traps but as the keep going Ken steps on an orange checkered spot and causes the floor to fall and the group fall into a bottomless pit.
The group are now in what looks like a dungeon area.
"Oh, no...we fell for the trap." Aang said.
"Nice goin', doofus!" Kazooie said.
"Shuddup, Birdbrain! How the hell was I supposed to know it was a trap?!" Ken asked.
"Stop. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. We just need to find a way out of the dungeon and continue through the castle." Noel said and Link nods.
"Noel is right. There should be a way out of here." Katara said.
The group go through the dungeon to find a way to escape and later on the group arrive at a passage and decide to go through while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless that appeared and continue through the passage and while they continue Noel sees what looks like a tiny keyhole the wall and so she places her Keyblade in the tiny keyhole.
"I think something should happen..." Noel said.
"It you've probably unlocked something in the castle. Let's go see." Banjo said.
The group keep going through the passage and later on they find stairs and climb up and they reach back to the hallway of the castle and go back to the rooms with the rising spikes, stony platforms, and return to the room with the falling orange checkered floors and the group go through the room and reach the end and they continue through the castle and arrive at a chamber that has various weapons and the group explore the weapons chamber but as they keep exploring they see Zuko standing in front of them.
"You again..." Katara said.
"Ugh...already, I'm tired of him." Ken said.
"So, you have gone so far through Lord Ganondorf's castle. You're wasting your time trying to defeat him. You should be more worried about yourselves." Zuko said.
"We will defeat Ganondorf and save Princess Zelda. You cannot stop us from accomplishing our mission here." Espio said.
"Please be reasonable. I can tell you can be a good person, but Ganondorf is doing something to control you." Noel said.
"Liar. Lord Ganondorf isn't controlling me. He wants me to use my Firebending to its fullest." Zuko said.
"That's not true. Ganondorf makes you want to hurt people." Aang said.
"Even though he has caused violence on his own." Katara said.
"Then Lord Ganondorf is going to get what he wants." Zuko said as he unleashes another barrage of fireballs at the group.
The group dodge the barrage of fireballs but Zuko unleashes more flames at the group who keep dodging the flames.
"This is getting insane." Alibaba said.
"Zuko, please stop this. You're not bad. You're being corrupted." Noel said.
"Corrupted? I was saved by Lord Ganondorf and he has made me stronger than ever!" Zuko said as he's being covered by dark aura.
"Aw, crap...he's actually controlled by the darkness. Noel, can ya do somethin' about it?" Ken asked.
"I don't know...I can try..." Noel said.
"I think you might be the one to save Zuko." Aang said.
"Okay...I'll do my best..." Noel said.
"Die now!" Zuko said as he unleashes flame waves at Noel.
Noel dodges the flame waves and tries to cast Blizzard at Zuko who dodges and unleashes a jet of fire at Noel who avoids the jet of fire and uses Spin Slsh with her Keyblade and then casts Thunder at Zuko who lashes at Noel with his flame whips but Noel dodges the flame whips and triple slashes with her Keyblade and then uses Edge Slash but Zuko slashes with his broadswords but Noel counters with her Keyblade and vertical slashes followed by a swing slash and knocks Zuko back but Zuko claps his hands together and unleashes a huge flame wave at Noel who avoids the huge flame wave and manages to coat her Keyblade with Blizzard magic and uses Blizzard Edge but Zuko blocks the attack and delivers a flame kick at Noel who dodges the flame kick and horizontal slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers a wide slash and makes Zuko stumble back.
"I'm going to save you...and free you somehow." Noel said.
Zuko unleashes another barrage of fireballs at Noel who dodges and is about to cast another Blizzard spell but then her Keyblade shoots a light beam and it goes at Zuko's chest and is knocked out and lies on the floor unconscious.
"Whoa! That was unbelievable!" Knuckles said.
"How the hell did ya do that?" Ken asked.
"I...don't know..." Noel said.
"Your weapon did something to him and he's not dead. Just knocked out." Aang said.
"What do we do with him?" Morgiana asked.
"We can't leave him like this..." Noel said.
"What?! Are you suggesting we'd bring him with us?" Katara asked.
"I'm agreeing with Noel. If we leave him, we'd be no better than how he was." Aang said.
"Not to mention, Ganondorf was probably controlling him." Alibaba said.
"I'm agreeing with Miss Noel and Mister Aang. We can't let him here." Cream said.
"Maybe you guys haven't noticed, but Zuko has been doing nothing, but hunting us down, mostly for Aang, due to the fact that he's the Avatar. He has been trying to attack us to get Aang, without any regard to what happens to anyone else." Katara said.
"That might have happened in your world, Katara, but if we bring him with us, we might be able to change him. People change, sometimes, for the better..." Noel said.
"Katara, we're not arguing over this. We have to find Ganondorf and stop him and save Princess Zelda. Zuko might be able to help if he wakes up." Aang said and Katara sighs.
"Fine. I'll let you two do what you think is right, but I'm NOT letting him out of my sight!" Katara said.
"You should trust Noel. She knows what she's doin'. Like she always does." Ken said.
"I assure you, Katara. Noel will change Zuko." Espio said.
"Fine. I trust her." Katara said.
"I'll carry him." Knuckles said as he lifts Zuko.
"Is there anything left to do here?" Banjo asked and Link points at something.
"What is it, Link?" Aang asked.
"I think he's trying to show us something." Noel said and she sees what Link is pointing at and it's another tiny keyhole. "Another one? I wonder what this one will do." Noel said as she places her Keyblade into the tiny keyhole.
"So now what happens?" Kazooie asked.
"I guess we'll find out..." Noel answered.
Meanwhile in a throne room Ganondorf is sitting on his throne while having the yellow Heart Crystal and Zelda is in a cage.
"You have what you came for, Ganondorf. I'm no longer of any value to you." Zelda said.
"That's where you are wrong, Princess. I still need you for one final task. Don't worry. It's painless." Ganondorf said.
"You wish to eliminate Link and take our Triforces for yourself." Zelda said.
"That is after you've served your purpose here." Ganondorf said as he laughs evilly.
Meanwhile the group leave the weapons chamber and keep going through the castle and they climb upstairs and they arrive at a room that has spikes rising from the ground, flames also rising from the ground, and arrows being shot from both walls and while Noel is nervous she knows she has to get through so the group go through the room while avoiding the rising spikes, rising flames, and the wall shooting arrows and later on the group manage to reach the end of the room and keep moving through the castle and arrive at a chamber that has spiral stairs and so the group climb the spiral stairs and later on they reach the end and are now in a different hallway but Black Xetis and Heartless but Noel fights them off and keep going through the hallway and arrive at a door and open it and go to a different chamber.
In the throne room Ganondorf is speaking with Nightmare and explains that Noel is still alive.
"I see. That girl is still alive?" Nightmare asked.
"She's rather persistent for such a fearful girl. It's best to explain this situation to Odium and Rixla. That may be useful to our..." Ganondorf was cut off by the group arriving at the throne chamber and confront Ganondorf.
Noel sees Nightmare.
"Um, y-you're N-Nightmare...?" Noel asked but Nightmare vanishes.
"Noel, Link! I knew you'd come!" Zelda said.
"Don't worry, Princess Zelda. We'll save you." Cream said.
"And we'll beat the crap outta Ganondork while we're at it and take that Heart Crystal from him." Ken said.
"Such lunacy. You cannot defeat me for I wield the Triforce of Power and I now have the Heart Crystal." Ganondorf said.
"Don't expect either of those to help you." Katara said.
"We'll stop you and the rest of the Fearmongers." Alibaba said.
"Fools. You will not live to put an end to the Fearmongers and will not live to see what we plan with the Heart Crystals." Ganondorf said.
"All of you do not underestimate Ganondorf. He's dangerous and powerful." Zelda said.
"We'll be careful, Princess." Noel said.
"Perish!" Ganondorf said as he fires a barrage of dark magic shots at the group.
The group dodge the barrage of dark magic shots and Noel slashes with her Keyblade and then casts Fire while Link shoots arrows while Alibaba uses his Djinn Amon's fire to strike but Ganondorf rises in the air, takes out a sword, and dives at the group but Aang unleashes Aero on himself and the group and then creates air slashes while Knuckles triple punches and then delivers a headbutt but Ganondorf warps himself away and then reappears and slashes at the group with his sword but Banjo has Kazooie triple peck at Ganondorf while Grace uses Tackle but Ganondorf fires more dark magic shots at the group who dodge and Carmelita shoots electric shots from her shock pistol while Espio throws four shurikens but Ganondorf disappears again and then reappears and delivers a powerful dark kick at the group but the group dodge and Ken bashes with his guitar and casts Blizzard while Morgiana delivers four strong kicks but Ganondorf slashes at the group with his sword and then shoots a dark magic beam at the group but Katara uses her Waterbending to heal the group and then throws ice daggers at Ganondorf while Cream unleashes Omochao Bomb and it explodes but Ganondorf warps away again and then reappears over the group and shoots more dark magic shots at the group but Noel blocks the dark magic shots and aerial slashes at Ganondorf who counters and slashes back with his sword and then delivers a dark punch but Noel dodges and casts Thunder striking Ganondorf.
"Fools! You cannot defeat the King of Evil!" Ganondorf said.

"Your efforts are still futile! You cannot win against me!" Ganondorf said.
"You're wrong...I believe we will stop you..." Noel said.
"Bah! I've had enough of your insolence! Prepare to meet your end!" Ganondorf said as he unleashes a dark shot at the group.
Just then a fireball comes at Ganondorf and strikes him.
"What is this...?!" Ganondorf asked.
The group turn to see Zuko who is now awake and has his hands lighted to fire.
"Zuko..." Aang said.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Ganondorf demanded.
"You were using me as your puppet! I'll kill you for that!" Zuko said.
"How dare you! You shall die along with them!" Ganondorf said as he shoots dark beams at the group.

"Impossible! I, the King of Evil, cannot be defeated by fools!" Ganondorf said.
"King of Evil my butt! More like the King of Losers!" Ken said.
"You lose here, Ganondorf. It's over." Noel said and Link nods.
"Do not be so sure. I have but one thing that will destroy you!" Ganodorf said as he unleashes a spell.
The group cover themselves and later on the chamber is now destroyed and they see Ganondorf on the ground not moving and they see Zelda free from the cage after what happened.
"Zelda. You're okay." Noel said.
"Yes. It seems Ganondorf's arrogance was his downfall. He believe he could rule this world." Zelda said as she picks up the Heart Crystal.
"Finally. That guys was tough." Knuckles said.
"He can no longer control me." Zuko said.
"I guess if you didn't recover in time, we would have been dead. Thanks, Zuko." Aang said.
"I didn't help you. I wanted revenge against him." Zuko said.
"So now this is over, you want to catch Aang again?" Katara asked.
"What's the point? My home is destroyed!" Zuko said.
"That may be true, but that doesn't excuse the things you've done to try and take Aang for yourself!" Katara said.
"Um, Katara..." Noel was cut off by a shaking.
"Hey! What the hell's goin' on?" Ken asked.
"Oh, no! Ganondorf must have used his last spell to destroy this castle! He's willing to destroy us as well." Zelda said.
"You gotta be kidding!" Alibaba said.
"Then we have to get out of here and fast..." Noel said.
The group start to make their way out of Ganondorf's castle but then Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but Noel defeats the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the group continue on to escape from the castle which is still shaking to destroyed but the group keep going and later on the group make their way to the entrance of the castle and manage to escape before the castle crumbles completely and the group are back outside.
"It's over." Zelda said.
"Good. We got the Heart Crystal and we kick Ganondork's butt! Let's find that Keyhole and get outta here before..." Ken was cut off by a sound.
"What was that?" Espio said.
"Is it a Black Xeti or a Heartless?" Banjo asked.
"I guess we'll have to look..." Noel said and Link nods.
"You should stay here, Zelda." Aang said.
"All right. Be careful." Zelda said.
The group go to the castle ruins to see where the sound came from but then a fiery wall appears behind the group.
"Zuko!" Katara yelled.
"That wasn't me, you stupid girl!" Zuko yelled back.
"Then who was it?" Alibaba asked.
Just then Ganondorf rises from parts of the castle ruins.
"Ganondorf!" Morgiana said.
"He's still alive?!" Carmelita asked.
"But how?" Knuckles asked.
"You fools! You cannot destroy me!" Ganondorf said as he uses his Triforce of Power to transform himself into what looks like a pig like monster with horns and is carrying two swords known as Ganon.
"He's scary..." Cream said.
Ganon slashes with his two swords at the group and the swing makes Link's sword fly off his hand and lands behind Zelda.
"Oh, no! Your sword!" Noel said but Link shakes his head.
"It's obvious this guy's brimmin' with the power of darkness! We beat him once! Let's do it again!" Ken said.
"I agree." Espio said.

"Finally. Now he's gone." Zuko said.
"Now let's..." Alibaba was cut off by a scream and they see Zelda on the ground.
"Zelda!" Noel said and Link runs to her while the group does the same.
"What happened?" Katara asked.
"Someone...in a blue coat appeared and attacked me. He even stole the Heart Crystal." Zelda explained.
"That man from Middle-Earth..." Noel said to herself.
"No doubt he's one of those Fearmongers." Carmelita said.
"Don't worry, Princess. We'll find that Heart Crystal and take it back." Banjo said.
Just then a bright light shines behind the group and Nole turns to see what it is.
"Is that...?" Noel stops talking as she runs back to the castle ruins and sees the Keyhole and so she uses her Keyblade to lock the Keyhole saving Hyrule from the darkness.
Later on the group return to Hyrule castle.
"I don't know how to thank you all for your bravery and heroism. If not for you, Hyrule would have remained under Ganondorf's evil tyranny and this world would have been plunged into darkness." Zelda said.
"We were glad to help, Zelda." Aang said.
"Now that Hyrule is safe, we should be leaving." Noel said.
"You are all welcome to Hyrule anytime, heroes." Zelda said.
"Thank you, Zelda. Take care, Link." Noel said and Link nods.
The group leave Hyrule castle and go through town.
"Alright! Another world saved from those damned bastards." Ken said.
"Mister Ken!" Cream berated.
"What will you do, Aang and Katara?" Noel asked.
"I don't know. Our home was gone. I don't think there's anything for us." Aang said.
"Well, maybe you two would like to come along with us?" Noel offered.
"Noel, you really think so?" Katara asked.
"I think it's a good idea." Alibaba said.
"Well, okay. What do you think, Momo?" Aang asked and Momo chitters.
"If you think we should come with you, then I'll come." Katara said.
"I'll go too." Aang said.
"That's great! Let's get goin'." Banjo said.
The group keep going and then they see Zuko leaning against the wall.
"Um, Z-Zuko...are you okay?" Noel asked and Zuko turns to the group.
"Yeah." Zuko answered.
"Um, about what happened..." Noel was cut off by Zuko.
"No. I couldn't control my actions. I'm the one who should be apologizing." Zuko said.
"Um, do you have anything to do now that you don't anywhere to go?" Noel asked.
"I have no purpose now. My nation is gone. I don't have to deal my monster of a father and my monster of a sister. The Avatar can go and I won't hunt him down again since my honor is shattered." Zuko said.
"Well, you could come with us too." Noel said.
"What?" Zuko and Katara asked at the same time.
"I believe you're a good person, Zuko. You may not have a friendly appearance, but I know you have a good heart. If you come with us, you might be able to use your power for good uses and help bring hope to others." Noel said.
"Noel, right? That's kind of how you think of me, but would you really want a Firebender with you?" Zuko asked.
"I don't care if you have the power of darkness. I know you're good inside." Noel said.
"Well, I guess I can try and team up with someone, even with the Avatar." Zuko said.
"Are you sure, Noel?" Katara asked.
"Just give it a chance, Katara." Noel said.
"Okay, but if you do ANYTHING to hurt Aang or even Noel, I won't show you any mercy." Katara threatened.
"I don't care what you say. You don't scare me. You should keep that mouth of yours in check." Zuko said and Katara snorts and turns away.
"They're growin' on each other." Ken said.
"We should get going." Espio said.
"Yeah." Noel said as she uses her Keyblade to create another light portal and goes into it and the others follow her and Aang, Katara, and Zuko go into the light portal and leave Hyrule.
