Avatar: the Adventure Continues
Avatar: the Adventure Continues
A/N-O.K. so I hope that I was able to explain Kuzon's character more within the last few chapters, there will be more about him later though…
A/N2-I only own my works, not avatar
A/N3-since I started this story before I saw the new episodes(312-315) I never intended to have any plotlines from thos episodes in this fanfic. This chapter, though, does have a little bit of the western air temple in it(and a couple of the others). Read on and you'll see what I mean.
The next morning the gang was well rested than they were the previous day. While they were eating breakfast a guard came up and said "Sir we have an intruder that says he wishes to speak with the avatar."
Kuzon nodded "Send him in." The guard bowed and left. Two minutes later three people came in. The man in the middle had long black hair, and golden eyes, and on his left eye was a burn scar. It was Prince Zuko! Katara was the first to react, knocking her chair over and standing readying to attack. Then Sokka pulled out his meteor sword, Aang got his staff and Toph took a fighting stance. Kuzon still sat there looking at the scene in front of him with some confusion as to why they were about to attack.
To everyone's surprise Zuko smiled and waved "Hi guys! Um, I was wondering if the avatar needed a fire bending teacher. If he does I'll be glad to help."
Katara, disgusted at Zuko nerve to even ask to help, yelled "Aang, has a teacher and it's not you! Now leave or we attack!"
Zuko raised both his arms and pleaded "Guys, I mean no harm. I've changed!"
Katara threw the water at him and threw him back. "Get out now!" she yelled.
Zuko still did not leave, but instead looking to Aang and asked "You once said we could be friends, now I can be your teacher. I know I've done bad things, but I have helped in the past. You know it was me who helped you in the fire nation prison with Zhao, and I helped free your bison under Lake Laogi."
Katara blasted him with more water and threw him on his back. "You're lying!" she said with more anger.
Toph let down her guard and said "No, he's telling the truth."
Kuzon finally stepped in "Listen guys, I think Zuko should be allowed to teach Aang fire bending, while I teach the rest of you techniques that will help you in battle." He gestured to Katara, Toph, and Sokka.
Aang thought for a minute and said "Well I guess you could be my teacher, but I have to ask my friends first," he looked to Toph "What do you think, Toph?"
"Well I think that he's telling the truth, and he might be helpful, so I'm fine with it." She said nodding in content with her decision.
Aang looked to Sokka. The warrior raised his hands "Hey, I just want this war to be over, and if you can help us defeat the fire lord, then you can join."
Aang looked at Katara, who at first did not reply. Although Zuko was wet he still felt as if he was sweating, waiting for her response. Finally she broke the tension "Aang you're the one who has to master fire bending, if you think this is right then, he's in."
Aang looked back to Zuko and said "Well I accept you as my teacher." Zuko got up and bowed to Aang, who bowed back.
Kuzon continued on "Well, if we are done, Zuko you can share a room with Sokka.
At that Sokka gaped at him "What!?" Zuko left to unpack his stuff.
Zuko put his bag down in Sokka's room. But before he started to unpack, he heard someone at the door. He turned to see it was Katara. She walked up to him "Listen, if you give me any reason to think you might hurt Aang or anyone else, I will see to your end right there and right then." She turned and left. He decided to take a look around. The western air temple was much different from the others, being on a cliffside. He walked along watching workers go back and forth with tools and blueprints.
Kuzon came up behind him and said "Long time, no see."
"It has been a long time." Zuko replied.
They walked together "So why the change of heart?" Kuzon asked.
"Because I realize I have chosen the wrong roads in my life. My destiny is not given to me, I must seek out to make my own destiny and that is to help the avatar." Zuko answered him with the insight his uncle had given him.
Kuzon nodded his head in agreement and then said "Well you didn't get much of a warm welcome back there did ya?"
Zuko managed to laugh "No, but that's okay. They have a right to be angry. But the water bender, Katara, did threaten me a couple of minutes ago."
"Well if you mean no harm, you have nothing to worry about." Kuzon reasoned.
"I guess you're right." Zuko said back.
"Give it some time, she will trust you. Well, I trust you." He said to the banished prince.
Zuko smiled "Thanks."
That night, Zuko was sitting on his bed when Sokka came in, almost reluctantly. Zuko noted his sword "That's a nice sword," he said "What's it made of?"
Sokka answered "A meteorite."
Zuko looked at it with interest "That's pretty cool"
"Thanks." Sokka said. "I like your double blade swords too. Are you good at using them?" he asked.
Zuko nodded "Yes, I am."
After a moment of awkward silence, Sokka asked "So where's your uncle?"
Zuko shook his head and shrugged "I don't know." Zuko asked back. "Do you know a Kyoshi warrior named Suki?"
Sokka's eyes widened "Yes! You know where she is?!"
Zuko nodded "Yes, she is held in a fire nation prison, I can help you rescue her on the day we invade."
Sokka with excitement exclaimed "YES! You know Zuko for an angry jerk who has tried to kill us, you're all right."
Zuko tried to smile "Thanks, I guess."
