Chapter 1

Zuko vs Aang

A ship sailed across the sea. On it was Zuko, Sokka, Piando, Zhao, Shinu, and Hakoda. The ship was small for its small crew. Zuko looked at the shore that was approaching quickly. Piando looked at the sky.

"A storm is coming.", he said.

Zuko looked at the shore and was shocked when he saw lightning.

"BRACE YOURSELVES!", yelled Zuko.

The lightning was followed by rain and thunder. The ship was being battered and came close to coming towards some sharp rocks. At the end of the storm the men got the ship onto the shore. Zuko stopped and saw an airbender approach. He was twelve years old and was using a glider. The boy landed and Zuko saw that the boy already had his arrows.

"I am Aang and I'm the guard off the southern coast!", threatened the boy. "Tell me who you are or else I will kill you and I once killed a buzzard-wasp!"

Zuko stared at Aang. Aang stared at the scar on the left side of Zuko's face as well as the red armor and the long top-knot.

"I don't suppose we can get around the killing part?", asked Zuko.

"Not unless you can knock me down!", stated Aang.

"Sounds easy enough!", said Zuko.

He then tried to knock Aang down but Aang used his staff to trip Zuko. Zuko then got up and forcefully took the staff from him and did the same thing to Aang. Aang then looked full of anger.

"I can't believe I was beaten by a twenty-six year old!", said Aang.

"I'm seventeen!", said Zuko.

"Well then can I have your name?", asked Aang.

"Fire Prince Zuko!", replied Zuko.

Aang then looked at Zuko with a look of shock.

"Well then king Iroh will be happy to see you", said Aang. "Maybe."
