Yum Yum Yum. Let's see who get's eaten! BWAHAHAHAHA ...pwease review!OOOH I forgot. Nakin's accent is alot worse in this one but hey...it's okay.
The tall man walked over to Aang and looked down at him.
"This one is already bald. Cook him first. And prepare the other one." Aang's eyes grew.
"NO no cook him. I mean me. I am the avatar. That would be very bad to cook me."
"I think I'll cook you both."
"NO! Umm. We...are...poisonous...see we ate this bad Juugoo fruit and have this nasty disease...with worms...and bugs and...rotting of our..."
"There is no such fruit."
"I'm the avatar. If you eat me then the entire world will be taken over by the Fire nation." The large man laughed paying the avatar's warnings no heed.
"You are young. You will be tender. Avatar or no avatar you look delicious." The huge man turned around and walked back up to his hunt, but a huge boulder fell in front of him. Aang's eyes widened and he let a small 'eep' escape his mouth. Hopefully that was Haru and not some opposing cannibal group. That would be just great wouldn't it?
"I suggest you let my friend go." Haru said as he rose over the fence. Aang smiled. Thank the SPIRITS it was him. Aang thought that had it been the other he might have joined Sokka and passed out himself. He looked around wildly looking around to see if he could spot Katara. But the dirt began to fly and he could see nothing.
The chief just scoffed and made the dirt encase Haru. Haru shook his head and jumped out of the dirt making it drop away from him. He grazed his eyes quickly over the innards of the camp and seen no Zuko.
"Any day now!" Haru yelled. Kihabas glared at the young man and turned around in time to see a spout of fire coming directly at him. He barely dodged it and glared at the other new intruder.
Haru jumped down and ran over to the two mud balls. He searched the camp again for anything that might look like a holding cell.
"GET THEM!"
He turned around and faced the guards. Zuko was soon at his side.
"Took you long enough scarface."
"Watch it girly man." Zuko growled and faced the opposite direction. The guards were not impressed, and fighting ensued. Every time a chuck of Earth would fly at Zuko Haru would turn it around. But Zuko did his part as can be expected. Flames were flying with kicks punches and dirt. Zuko's eyes darted wildly from his attackers to the camp looking for his woman, all he could see was dirt and dust.
"HEY guys!" Aang said and moved his head so that he wouldn't get hit by the flying rocks. A large bolder burst to pieces a short way from him and he became a little more insistent.
"You might want ..." Aang dodged again. Sokka opened his eyes and brought his head up to look around, just in time to see a large bolder headed his way. His eyes rolled back and he was gone again.
"To get me outta here!" Zuko turned around and kicked the giant ball, but it didn't do anything but sent Aang rolling through the camp. Zuko shrugged his shoulders and turned around to dodge another slice of rock.
Aang rolled over and over. The world was spinning and he could feel the lunch he had eaten threaten to come back up. He was gonna get Zuko for that one, if killed him he would. He finally stopped wen he rolled right through a wall.
"What de hell!?" Aang heard some one yell. Aang tried to focus but the world was still spinning and all he could see was a white and black blur walking his way.
"I'm guessin dat yous possed to be lunch? But dey want it on de go?" Aang's eyes finally focused as he looked into a pair of deep pink eyes. For a moment he forgot that he was encased in a giant ball of dirt and tried to jump backwards away from the rabbit-eyed man.
"Don't eat me!?"
"Why's everybody tink I'm gonna eat dim?"The man shook his head and put his hands on his hips. Aang began to thrash wildly trying to break the ball. The man cocked an eyebrow and shook his head again.
"I help ya."
"No! Get away from me!"
"Ya want outta der don't ya?"
"Yes."
"Well den I help ya."
"Okay?" Aang said and began thrashing again.
"Dammit, now hold still." Aang watched the man take a step back and raise his leg high over the ball. With a smooth hard axe kick the ball busted to pieces. Aang fell to the ground and shot the man with an air burst. The man just repelled it and frowned.
"I tink ya outta be put back in da ball if ya gonna act dat way." Aang looked at the man, with wide eyes and felt his bottom lip quiver, uncertain whether it was from pure fear or the fact that the guy was ...well...very spirit like in appearance.
"Who are you?"
"Never mind dat. We gotta git outta here." Aang looked at the man dumbly.
"I'm not going with you."
"I's gettin out of here, but ya can stay if ya wanna."
"I have to help my friends."
"Suit ya self, but I's gotta go." He ran out of the hole that Aang had made and disappeared over the wall. Aang cocked an eyebrow and shook his head.
"That was weird." He ran out and threw an air burst directly at the chief. Haru smiled and turned to Sokka breaking the ball and grabbing the boy as he fell to the ground.
"Any sign of her?"
"Not at all."
"Maybe she wasn't captured?"
"Or maybe..." Haru looked at Aang and frowned. He shook his head and turned to look for Zuko.
"Come on ZUKO!" Zuko nodded and jumped over the mound of earth that was thrown at him. He ran and caught up with them as then made it through the gate. But all of them knew if they stopped they would be tomorrow's leftovers for sure.
Zuko burst through the gate of the village and yelled, his body engulfing in flames. Every fiber in him hurt and every piece of his sanity holding on by a slim thread. He was either to late, or they were very wrong about whether or not she had been captured.
"GODDAMMIT!" Zuko screamed and slammed his fist into the gate, making a small crater.
Haru shook his head. Katara was no where to be found. He closed his eyes. If they had lost her that would be the third that had been lost since the year had begun. It tore at his heart knowing that there was nothing any of them could have done about it.
Sokka shook his head waking up. HE knew that something was wrong by the expressions on everyone's face. Then it hit him. His sister wasn't there. And he, like a baby, passed out in the middle of it. Had he been awake he might have helped. If he had been awake he may have saved her.
Aang fell to the ground holding his head forcing back his emotions, knowing that if he let them loose he would go glowy in no time. Every one around him got hurt. At one point in time everyone. Now Katara was gone and he would have to deal with a depressed Sokka and a irate Zuko. He was only twelve years old. He couldn't handle this.
Zuko walked over to the gate and leaned against it. He didn't know where Katara was, and he didn't know if he would ever even see her again. His heart ached for her, burning to know just exactly what happened to her. Whether or not she escaped? OR if she had become the main course. He had to know. Vengeance wasn't approved by his uncle but this was a completely different circumstance.
Suddenly his was hit from behind and thrown to his face, with something wrapped around his back.. Her jerked over and glared at the person that had tackled him.
Katara grabbed him and started kissing him all over the face. He pushed her off of him and glared at her.
"Where the HELL have you been?!" Katara frowned and decked him across the jaw.
"I went looking for you! I was captured by people who intended on eating me, this other prisoner helped me escape! I came to find you!" Katara growled and crossed her arms. Zuko got to his knees and pulled her to him.
"I only yell cause I'm worried about you."
"Well stop. I can take care of myself."
"Who saved you?"
"An albino..."
"A guy?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Was he cute?"
"Hell I didn't have time to look I was to busy trying to keep from getting eaten. What difference would that make anyway!?" Zuko rolled his eyes and hugged her.
"At least you didn't end up as a side dish." Katara pushed back for a moment and looked into his eyes.
"You are going to stay now?"
"If I was to leave you would go off and get yourself eaten."
"I'm serious Zuko."
"Yes. I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm afraid I have to disagree." Zuko and Katara both turned to see Haru standing at the gates with a scroll in his hand. Katara stood up and frowned walking over to him.
"This came while we were gone." Haru stuck his hand out and set the scroll in Katara's hands. She glared at him for a second then opened it.
"These are wanted fugitives and traitors to the Fire nation. They are considered to be high threat and very dangerous. One traveling with them is claiming to be the avatar. Anyone caught harboring these fugitives will be arrested and face trial in the eyes of the Fire Lord. They may be traveling with a small child. This child was kidnaped from a royal ship and should be returned immediately. If anyone sees these fugitives they are urged to kill them on sight, child and all." Katara stopped and turned to look at Zuko. He walked over to her and took the scroll. On it was both of their faces, Sokka's, Iroh's and Aang's, along with their names and a brief description. Katara turned and looked at Haru.
"You know that he is the avatar." Haru nodded.
"It isn't that Katara. Read the rest"
She looked further down and covered her mouth. Haru closed his eyes.
"If any village is accused of hiding these fugitives that village will be searched full through and if the fugitives are not found, thereafter the village and all of it's occupants will be burned to the ground." Haru recited it as if he could get the words to leave his mind. He opened his eyes and looked at them.
"You have to leave immediately. This letter was sent to every small village in this continent. Including the renegade base." Zuko frowned and stared at Haru.
"Why only the small villages?"
"Because a wanted noticed over you and your uncle has been sent to the larger cities prior to this. Also you encountered your sister in this port, if she knows her geography, then she knows that there are no large cities along this coast." Zuko frowned. Things just kept getting better and better. Katara wrapped her fingers around Zuko's arm and looked up at him.
"We have to leave."
"Your uncle was notified first thing when the notice arrived and has already made preparations for your leave." Zuko glared at Haru.
"There's no need to be so pushy." Kataraa held her hand up and stopped Zuko. She grabbed Haru's hand and looked up at him.
"I understand. A good leader watches out for his people. If we don't leave your people and your village can be destroyed." Haru nodded.
"That is it exactly."
"Then we have to leave."
