A/N: Hi I'm back!! Ok on Chapter one forgot the disclaimer: I don't own anyone or anything from Avatar, but I own my ones and things (lol). Anyways, I got chapter two up (this one) so enjoy!!

Chapter Two – Ambush

The figure tried to turn around, but the girl behind him somehow held him stuck. Then the mysterious man figured out that there was lighting petrifying him in her grasp. He couldn't move a muscle. Only fire benders could control lighting. He started yelling in his thoughts, screaming; Help, Dark!! In a few seconds there was a crash, and a huge explosion. Of course, not in real life. Just in his mind. But the sheer mental force made him move again, he slipped around and pulled his sword out of its scabbard. The dark-dressed figure stopped the sword next to the girl's neck. As he saw her, he saw two other girls next to her. Finally, he realized that the girl on her right was Ty Lee, the other one was Mai, and the one that he was about to cut off her head was the Princess of the Fire Nation, Azula.

Soon the figure put his sword away and lightly bowed. The sword clinked back into the scabbard as he bowed. The Princess walked down into the living quarters. I followed, and the other two girls walked beside me for what it seemed like to not let me get away. We walked towards my room and soon we got their. She kicked open the door and Mai shoved me in.

"So what's this bounty?" The figure said.

"First, I know your name is Shado, so don't try" Azula started "But anyways, here's you bounty. Four refugees are traveling around the world. Here are their names, and you might be familiar with them"

Azula had a chilling voice, so Shado listened. She was kinda pretty, he thought. "Toph, a Earth Bender girl who ran away from her father. Sokka, the meteorite blade wielder and boomerang man. Katara, a water bender from the southern Water Tribe. And Finally, Aang, the last Airbender, who's presumably dead. He is also the Avatar."

Shado jerked at those names. He had seen them at Kyoshi Island, and learned all about them except that Aang being the Avatar. "So that, arrowhead guy is the Avatar? Every five-year old girl at Kyoshi Island were clinging on him"

She scowled at me. "Yes, that boy is the Avatar. He was actually dead from my lighting strike, but I found out he was not. I also found that he and his friends are launching a invasion force into the Fire Nation in a couple months. They are going to join up with those.. Dirt Benders… and the Water Tribe soldiers while bringing along a few others. But never mind that, Zuzu has that covered. I hope"

"So back to your business, I want you to find the Avatar and his friends and, destroy him. Use any method you like, bending if you can, sword slashing or whatever" Azula pulled on her bangs "But I want them dead in exactly two months from now. And I know what you're thinking, so the bounty is this: Sokka and Katara are one-thousand gold pieces, Toph is nine-hundered silver pieces, and the Avatar, well, let's just say you get a wish of doing something, as long as it is logical and pratical"

He managed to suck that in. "Ok I'm in!" Shado said, and stuck his hand out. Azula looked at him with bewildered eyes.

"I'd rather not touch anyone" She said, disgusted. She walked out, arms behind her back, gracefully walking and motioning to the other girls. "Remember your deadline" She said coldly, but the last part of the last word was confusement. Shado had already saw this and clucked his tongue once. Ten huge bounty hunters were listening in the conversation. Azula tried a lighting blast, but the biggest hunter pinned her down. Ty Lee snaked around one man, poked his pressure points, and snaked to the next guy. But she was pinned by two others. Finally Mai leaped back and threw some dark gleaming silver arrows into one guy's sleeve. But another Bounty Hunter tackled her easily.

Shado was in action soon after that. He pulled is sword swiftly out of his scabbard, then flung his sword in a arc in front of him. The sword was very sharp all around, almost looking rusty. But the sword was far from rusty. It had a dark-greyish tone, and was very fleet. As the blade traveled downward, dark energy collected in a shape of the sword, only without the handle. The energy was just shadows, but they raced to most of the bounty hunters. Soon there was only two men left, and Azula was free. She lighting bolted them, but soon more came. Too many, way too big men came and Shado realized they had to go.

This all had happened in a matter of seconds. And in those seconds, a huge wolf broke through the stable and raced into the room. It smashed the oak yet not at all sturdy tables with its tail, and crushed most of the roof. Shado jumped and threw Ty Lee on the monster, who caught her in the small sadle. Ty Lee became unconscious.

"Azula, get Mai on my wolf and yourself!" He yelled at her, and she understood right away. Even if he was tricking her, she could always kill him. She picked up Mai, blowing her long hair out of her way. She swiftly jumped and saddled onto the wolf. Shado clucked his tongue twice, and the wolf turned and bounded away, but not before Shado jumped and grabbed the monster's tail. He climbed his way up the beast, till he was partially in the two-man saddle which now held four people. He climbed on the wolf's neck, and then there was room. The wolf kept racing away.

Azula was looking at him in amazement. "Are you somehow a Shadow Bender?!"
