Chapter 3: Zho-ren

U knows what I do not own!

EDIT: I edit it a little, the fight scene is still the same but I did do some editing. If I made some grammar mistakes, please let me know.

--------------------------------------

Kasai was walking down the road in the woods. He didn't know where he was going; in fact he never knows where he is going. But, he traveled until he came into the next village and they kicked him out.

"I wonder how the villagers are doing." Kasai was worried about the villagers, the elders, Asa, and even Hikari. "No no no! I can't worry about them, I got to move forward." He then thought about their safety, he knew what Zho-ren might do to the villagers if they don't tell them where he went." Why should I care what happens to those villagers?! They tried to kill me; I should let Zho-ren destroy them all." Kasai realizes what he was thinking, and smack himself across his face.

"Damnit, Get a hold of yourself! You're the avatar, you can't think of things like that!" he yelled at himself. He was torn; he wanted to save the villagers from Zho-ren. But even if he helped the villagers they would still not appreciate him and probably attack him again.

Kasai went to a near by tree, sat down and laid back on the tree, he ran his finger threw his black messy hair. "What do I do?"

Suddenly, something landing on top of Kasai's head, Kasai lifted his hand and touch what was on top of him. It was furry, and felt like it had a tail. Kasai lifted the thing off his head. When Kasai looks at it, it wasn't a thing, but an animal. In fact it was his animal.

"Zuzu!" Kasai yelled.

It was his lemur he was looking. Well not really a regular lemur, but a fire-bat lemur which is a rare species in the fire nation. It had black fur with rings around his tail, it had pointy ears and wings on its back (come on folks it the avatar world after all.)

Kasai happy to see his pet hugs it tight. "Zuzu, I knew you come back!"

Zuzu however didn't like to be hug that tight, so he had let out a big fireball toward Kasai face. Hence the name "Fire-bat lemur". Kasai mange to duck quickly enough to dodge the fire blast.

"Why do you always do that every time I hug you?"

Kasai let goes of his lemur. "At least you won't abandon me right Zuzu?" Said Kasai

Zuzu spread his wings and flew in a direction towards the forest leavening Kasai. Kasai looks on as a vein grows in his head. "Hey, were the hell do you think your going!" Kasai yelled. Kasai run toward the direction his lemur went to get him back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the elders ordered all the men to get ready for Zho-ren approach. They hid the woman and children along with the elders inside a secret cave near the village. The men stood in front of the village with hammers in their hands.

Asa and Hikari were in charge of watching the women and children. (Hikari was only there because he is a horrible earth bender, and not a good fighter.) Asa was making sure the women and children were ok, Hikari was watching outside to make sure no fire bender come by.

As soon as she checks the women and children were ok, she went up to her brother. "Brother, see any fire benders?" Asa asked.

Hikari nodded his head sideways. "No not yet, thank god. Tsk, this would not have happen if Kasai was never here."

Asa put her hands on his hips "will you quit blaming Kasai?! It's not his fault a fire nation army is coming this way."

"Oh? Sister isn't Kasai the avatar? And didn't the elders tell us that fire nation soldiers are looking for him? Face it, if he never came to this village we wouldn't be hiding in fear."

Asa didn't want to admit it but Hikari was right about that. If they hadn't token Kasai to their village, none of this would happen. "Well that doesn't matter now, what matters is that we must keep an eye on the people of the village no matter what."

Suddenly a baby started to cry back in the cave, "Asa I need help." the mother of the baby said.

"I'm coming." Asa responded. Before she went to treat the baby, she had one last thing to say to her brother. Hikari, remember you're the last line of defense. If these fire nation soldier's mange to get here, then you have to protect us, no matter how much you stink at earth bending."

"I know sis, thanks for adding pressure" Hikari said in an annoyed tone

"Your welcome" she smiled

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zho-ren group were approaching the village, most of them were riding the large lizards towards the village. However Zho-ren was carried on his throne to the village, Zho-ren was around the age of 23. He had long black hair tied in a pony tail like most fire benders do. He had golden eyes while his pupils were black. Since he was a commander, he wore special fire nation armor with the word Angi Commander on the left side of his chest.

"Commander Zho-Ren!" one fire nation solider said.

"What is it?" Zho-ren replied

"We have approach the village, but……."

"But?" Zho-ren raised his eyebrow.

"But it a group of men blocking our path, they look like the men of the village sir."

"So? If there in our way then kill them and get it over with."

"But sir….."

"Solider, our goal is to capture the avatar, a couple of men who are in our way of capturing the avatar and achieve our goal. What do we do?"

"Couldn't just capture them and make them into fire nation soldiers?"

"I don't take people who don't listen to what I say, I consider them trash. And like trash they need to be dispose. Are you that trash I need to dispose solider?"

The solider took one big gulp; he started to sweat like he was in an oven. He didn't want to even look at Zho-ren's eyes because he was scared that they were going to burn him. "No sir, I will comply"

"Good" Zho-ren smirked. "How many are there?"

"I think there is seven sir."

"That's it? Solider, tell the men to back off." Zho-ren gave an evil smile. "Let me handle this"

Zho-ren ordered the men who were holding his throne to let him down. As he had walked out, his fire nation soldiers had got on their knees and bowed for him in respect. Zho-ren walked up and seen the men standing in front of him and the village.

"Listen up because I'm only going to say this once. If you spare your life you tell me were is the avatar and move aside!" Zho-ren yelled

One of the men spoke. "We are going to tell, you filthy fire nation dog!" the rest of the men cheered when the man said that.

"So I take that as a no?"

"You can take that as a fuck no!"

"Ok, thank you for the excuse." Zho-ren ran to towards the men. The men started to laugh, "You don't think that you can take all of us on. Do you?"

One of the fire nations solider spoke to the other, "that guy has a point, can he take them on by himself?"

The other solider spoke, "listen, your about to see why he is the youngest in the history of the fire nation to reach commander level."

Zho-ren ran towards the men. Before he went to the first guy, he made fire daggers in both hands. The first guy threw his hammer downward to hit Zho-ren, but Zho-ren spun around to dodge the hammer. Zho-ren grabs the guy arm and lean him closer to his fire daggers. The fire daggers pierce the villager in the heart with his, the villager fall dead to the ground.

The rest of the men were shock. Zho-ren killed the first guy so quickly that they had blink and did not see it in time.

"Well, that's one down, six more to go." Zho-ren said.

"Come guys, we can get him if we attack him together, then he won't stand a chance!"

Two of the men went towards Zho-ren. One from the right side and one from the left side. The first and second one tried to swing his hammer at him simtainesly , Zho-ren attipaticed the attacks, he to one step back and put his leg out, tripping the first one. The second one couldn't react quickly and hit the first one on his head; the first one is instantly killed from the blow to the head. Zho-ren quickly steps in front of the second one.

"your all just trash." Zho-ren said. He then put his hand on the villager chest and with one yell into the air, Zho-ren fire blasted the villager.

"Well let's see, that three down, three to go" said Zho-ren

"Come on, lets all three of us attack him!" the rest of the men came charging towards him in a last effort to defeat zho-ren. "This is too easy." Zho-ren put the end of his wrist together and blasted out a wave of fire. The wave of fire was so big that it burned some of the village houses.

The three men were lying motionless, their bodies burnt by the fire blast.

Zho-ren smiled, "six down…..one to go."

The last villager was the one who called Zho-ren fire nation dog. Instead of showing no fear like last time, he was trembling in fear. He just had seen some of his friends and neighbors die in front of him. Zho-ren started walking towards the last villager, the villager drop his hammer started to slowly walk backwards, but trip over his own footing. He tried to get up but Zho-ren put his foot on his chest.

"Now, are you going to tell me were the avatar is hiding?"

"I-i-I don't know were he is……..I heard he had left the village…..I swear!"

"Who was the last one to see him?"

"It was……..the elders……..and a girl name Asa, they were the ones!

"Were are they?" Zho-ren asked with his foot still on the villagers chest.

"They are in a cave not northwest from here, Now please spare me!" begged the man.

Zho-ren shrugs his shoulders "sure, you're free to go……"

"Oh thank you, thank-."

"Oh sorry, I changed my mind……." Zho-ren let out one fiery blast the villager, all you can hear were the screams of pain the villager. Zho-ren dust of his shoulders and walk back to his throne, some of the fire nation soldiers were shock, this was their first time watching Zho-ren in battle.

"No wonder he is at commander level, one fire blast destroyed half the village." Thought one fire nation solider

"He is so quick and vicious; he didn't give a damn about their lives! I better not question his authority ever again." Thought another fire nation solider.

"Ok men onward to northwest!" said Zho-ren

-------------------------------------------------

"What is that smell?" said Hikari he had sniff the air and recognize that smell. It was the smell of fire.

Suddenly he heard rustling in the bushes. Hikari got up as quickly and took an earth bending stance.

What came out of the bushes was…………..a flying lemur.

"What the heck is that?"

The lemur came and landed on Hikari head. Suddenly Hikari heard a voice from the same place were the lemur came from the bushes. "Zuzu, come on! I won't hug you no more I promise"

Kasai came out of the bushes. He sees a large field of dirt with a cave, he looked around and seen his lemur………on top of Hikari head.

"aaahhhhhhh!! What are you doing here Kasai?!?!?"
