"You're not exactly getting involved in the war. The Fire Lord just wants you to capture some people for him and bring them to the Fire Nation. That's all."

Hilary asked him, "So what you're saying is that we're just going to capture some random guys for him and that's it?"

"Yes and the money you'll receive in payment can be anything you want it to be." he answered.

Hilary looked over at Kai. Kai inwardly sighed. Oh well, at least they weren't getting into the thick of things. "Fine we'll do it! But that Fire Lord of yours better give us the money we want afterwards!"

"It'll be done!" the leader promised.

Kai inwardly sighed again. Another day, another bounty to hunt. 'I wonder who the lucky ones are who've gotten chosen to be brought into the Fire Lord's presence.' he thought to himself as he stared up into the blue sky above them.

Book 1: Water

Chapter 2:

The Last Southern Waterbender

It was cold. Actually scratch that, it was freezing and the fact that they were flying around near the south pole trying to find a place to land wasn't helping. Although the young boy was bundled up from head to toe, he could still feel the cold air biting at him.

Brushing the snowflakes out of his red hair and shivering for the upteenth dozen time he called out to the pilot of their ride, "Hey, can't this thing go any faster?"

The pilot, obviously annoyed, looked back at the red-haired kid. "Well, excuse me, but this thing has feelings too ya know!"

He sent a glare at the kid and got a stuck out tongue in return. Ignoring the little runt, the pilot looked down at the beast they were riding on. Patting it's side he assured it that everything was going to be okay.

"It's okay Dragoon, old buddy! We'll be there in no time!"

Turning his attention from the giant blue dragon, the navy-haired boy looked forward. All he could see before them was ice, water, more ice, and more water. He sighed. Were they even headed the right way?

"Hey Chief!" he called out over his shoulder, "Are you sure we're heading the right way?"

Instantly a kid about the same height of the red-haired, except he had brown hair, appeared. Adjusting his glasses that sat atop his hair he replied to the blue-haired one's question.

"Of course Tyson! According to historical records the chosen one of Draciel should be here."

The red-haired snorted. "He'd better be, cause I'm freezing my butt off here!"

"Can it, Daichi!" Tyson warned.

Suddenly up ahead, the trio saw a large mass of ice. It looked like one of the ice floats that they had seen before, but this time it was different. It stretched from the far left to the far right. Looks like they had finally found land.

"Land!" Daichi cried and almost fell off the dragon and into the cold waters below.

"Watch yourself, Daichi! We don't want to have to explain to the locals why you're a frozen ice cube." cautioned Chief, or otherwise known as Kenny.

"Yeah, yeah."

Tyson grinned. 'About time we found land.' he thought. He patted his dragon's side once again. "C'mon Dragoon, just a little bit further."

Slowly stepping on the snow that covered the land, a young Water Tribe member made his way towards his most favorite part of his home. Inching forward, step by step, the boy finally made his way across. He smiled. Finally he could practice in peace.

He took off his gloves and removed the hood of his jacket to reveal a thick mass of blonde hair. He opened his eyes to take in the surroundings and to make sure no one was watching. He caught sight of the split within the land mass that allowed water to be shown. 'Now,' he thought, 'time to practice some waterbending!' He took his stance and began to move his arms in fluid motions until the water, it seemed, began to take a life of its own.

Tyson landed Dragoon gently on the snow surface. He, Kenny, and Daichi leaped off the dragon and landed gracefully on the ground.

Tyson turned to Dragoon and placed his hand on the dragon's forehead. Suddenly the dragon began to glow a bright blue color and shrank in size. Next it wrapped itself around Tyson's left forearm. Once it was fully wrapped around, it slowly began to phase into the boy's skin. After completing the process, the place where it had phased into had turned a dark red and now looked like a birthmark shaped like a dragon. The young boy gazed down at it and was lost in thought until Daichi spoke.

"Hey guys! Look!"

Kenny and Tyson turned their heads towards the redhead.

"What is it now, Daichi?" Tyson asked, annoyed.

"Look!"

The three focused in on what Daichi was referring to. It was a young boy who was standing by a crack in the ice and a stream of water flowing around him.

"Wow! It's a waterbender! I've got to take notes of this!" Kenny exclaimed as he whipped out his notebook and began writing furiously.

"That's a waterbender!" Daichi asked, a bit too loudly.

The object of their conversation snapped his head over towards the sound and saw three people looking at him. He instantly dropped his arms to each side in shock. The water that was streaming beside him splatted to the ground. He turned on his heel and ran in the opposite direction of where the three travelers were.

"Hey, he's running away!" Daichi exclaimed.

"It's because you scared him off, dolt!" Tyson replied, hitting the back of the red-hair's head.

"Guys, we need to find him! Remember our mission!" Kenny interrupted while placing his notebook back into his pack.

The other two boys instantly stopped their fussing and sprang into action. Leaping over the snow drift in front of them, the trio quickly took off after the fleeing waterbender. They turned the corner and looked around; no blonde-haired waterbender in sight.

Tyson scanned the area. There was no way that they were going to find this guy this way. The only way to find him was from a bird's eye view.

"Hey guys!" Tyson said, directing the other two's attention to him, "I'm going topside!"

Daichi and Kenny nodded. With that taken care of, Tyson reached back with his hand to the staff that was strapped to his back. Unlatching it from the strap, he pulled the staff in front of him. He tapped the bottom of it on the snow and out sprung two sets of orange fans on either side. The boy grabbed both pieces of wood that was attached to the tops of the fans. Feeling the air currents shift around his figure, Tyson commanded them to circle around him. He jumped up into the air and took off to the skies.

Seeing his comrade fly up into the sky, Daichi knew his instincts were telling him to help. He kneeled down onto the snow, closed his eyes, and began to focus. Slowly the streams of energy above, around, and beneath him became as scents to follow in his mind. He separated them one by one until he found the energy stream of the waterbender they were trying to find.

Daichi followed the stream until it lead him to the runaway. Daichi opened his eyes. He knew where he was now. He got up off the cold snow and yelled into the sky.

"Hey Tyson! He's near the icebergs!"

Kenny looked at the redhead quizzically. "Are you sure that he's going to be able to hear that?"

"Trust me, he will." the redhead replied back.

He heard Daichi's message loud and clear. He turned his flyer towards the direction of the titans of ice. He turned his line of sight down, combing through the pathways that were beside the icebergs. Suddenly like a streak of yellow, he saw the blonde-haired boy shoot out from between two mountains of snow. 'Gotcha!' he rejoiced.

Tyson aimed his flyer down towards him. With a swoop and a quick readjusting of his flyer into a staff, Tyson gracefully landed in front of the runaway, cutting him off. The runaway panicked, not knowing what to do.

"Hey," Tyson spoke, "I'm not here to hurt you. I just want to talk to you."

He took a step towards the waterbender, trying to convince him, but quickly the waterbender bended a slew of snow towards him from a nearby mountain. Tyson sensed this and instinctively formed a shield of air, deflecting the snow onto the ground below.

The waterbender was taken aback by this action, but he quickly retaliated by turning the snow surrounding the airbender's feet into ice, leaving him stuck and unable to walk. Noticing this, Tyson grimaced. How the heck was he supposed to talk to this guy, if he couldn't move to protect himself.

The waterbender took off and ran around the stuck airbender. He had gotten a few feet away from the guy when a strange redhead kid appeared in from of him. He stopped short and sized him up. He didn't look very tough, he could probably take him using his meager waterbending skills.

The redhead looked at him, "Watcha runnin' away for? We just want to talk."

Talk? No way! For all he knew, they could be spies for the Fire Nation. No way could he let the village get attacked again because of him; especially after what happened last time. He frowned at the memory. Why didn't he do something? He knew he could've, but there probably wasn't anything that would've changed from it. Even though he prayed constantly that she would return, nothing happened.

"Hey!" the redhead called out to him, breaking him out of his thoughts.

The waterbender returned his attention the possible enemy in front of him. "What do you want? Haven't you taken enough from me?!?"

"What the heck are you talking about, dude? We haven't taken anything from you! We don't even know you and that's why we're trying to--"

Daichi was cut off as the obviously distraught Water Tribe boy moved the snow beside him and threw it at his opponent. Daichi quickly reacted by bending the energy stored inside the air to form a sightly pink shield to protect his front. The boy gasped in astonishment. 'An energybender! But I thought that they were all extinct!'

"You-you're an energybender!" the boy choked out.

Daichi removed the shield. "Yeah, but you don't have to go blabbing it out to the whole world, ya know!"

The boy just looked back at Daichi, trying to figure out his rambling thoughts.

"Now, would you tell me exactly why you're running away from us?" the energybender asked.

Silence ensued between the two. The waterbender turned his gaze to the white snow.

"You may understand..." he started.

"Huh?" Daichi asked, confused. "May understand what?"

"What's it's like to be the last of your kind, but there's nothing you can do to help me or the rest of the Water Tribe. And I certainly can't help you, if that's what you're asking." the Water Tribe member explained.

"Last of your kind? Wait a minute! Are you saying?"

"Leave!"

"What?"

"Just leave! To put it simply, if I'm revealed to be a waterbender, it'll bring more harm than good. That's all waterbenders have ever done for my village. That's why-that's why, I never let anyone know about that part of me. And if waterbending can't help my village from the Fire Nation...it can't help anywhere else."

"What are you talking about? I just asked you a question, I didn't want you're whole life story."

"Just go and pretend that none of this ever happened." the waterbender ordered.

He then turned away from the energybender and began to walk away from them until he was no longer visible among the winter fog. It was shortly after then that Kenny and Tyson, who managed to get himself free of the ice, caught up with him.

"Did you get him?" Tyson asked, panting in between words.

Daichi continued to stare at he place the boy left and then looked back at his comrades. "No, he took off."

He then remembered back to what the blonde-haired guy told him, '"What's it's like to be the last of your kind, but there's nothing you can do to help me or the rest of the Water Tribe."' Could it be?

"Hey guys!" the redhead called out.

"What is it?" Chief asked.

"I think that waterbender we were chasing... I think that he was the last waterbender left here in the South Pole." he answered.

"Why would you think that?" the airbender asked.

"It was something he said that may me think that he may be the last one left here." Daichi replied.

"The last waterbender of the whole South Pole? Wait a minute! If he's the last waterbender, then he's gotta be the one that's the keeper of the elemental beast, Draciel!" Kenny exclaimed.

Daichi and Tyson's eyes widened and Daichi looked over to where he last saw the possible Draciel keeper.

"Well, if he is..." Tyson concluded. "Then he'll have to come with us! He has to help us stop the Fire Nation from taking over the entire world!"

With Tyson's statement having been said, Daichi had a funny feeling that this wasn't going to be easy.
