Hey Everyone! Sorry about some updates. I kinda left you guys hanging, but I was away for the weekend without a computer. Anyways, Thank you guys so much for the review! This is my first time doing something like this, so it's hard to get going. But your reviews keep me going! All right, I'm sure you want to know what happens to Zuko, so on with the show!

"Zuko…" A familiar voice called out. Zuko stirred, and moaned. His head was giving him a serious headache, and he had almost trouble figuring out where he was.

"Get up… you must get up" said the voice. Zuko looked around, and realized that the two children had started crying again. The place was still burning down, and there was a woman that was standing in front of him. She had long black hair that came down to her waist. She had pale beautiful skin, with ruby lips that parted slightly. Her golden eyes looked down at him in sadness. Her long red dress swayed with her body, as she talked.

"Mother?" Zuko asked in surprise. He was still on the floor, and he couldn't get up.

"Yes, my son," She answered, and she bent down to her beloved son.

Zuko couldn't believe it. He hadn't seen his mother since she died. "Am I-"

"No, you are not dead… yet. Not unless you get up and escape with the children," Zuko's mother said. Her voice seemed to echo.

"I'm too weak, mother," Zuko said. Emotions came over him in waves. "I'm sorry, that I'm weak, I'm sorry I spoke out, and disobeyed." Zuko said, touching his scar, memories were flooding back. "I'm sorry".

"ZUKO!" Zuko's mother yelled, her voice turning serious. "You are NOT weak. You are still the Prince of Fire! Rise my Prince, rise with your honor, or you will never keep you promises…"

Uncle… Zuko thought, and he slowly rose. His bones and muscles screamed with pain, but he ignored it, he kept his eyes on his dead mother. The two children suddenly felt like two tons.

"How can I get out?" Zuko asked his mother in despair. His mother just looked at him with soft eyes and replied.

"Do not worry my son; I will not let you die. Follow me Zuko. I will show you the way." And she glided over to a fire, and simply waved her arms making the fire bend apart, making a space that can be walked through.

And Zuko slowly followed his mother into the fire arch, following his savior.

"The building's going to collapse!" Sokka yelled. He could tell by how the house moaned and creaked.

"Zuko…" Iroh whispered. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to go in and get Zuko, even if he had to die trying. He was about to run, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey you crazy fire bender, but you can't go in there!" Sokka said. "I thought you said you had faith in your nephew!" Iroh looked to be in shock. How can I lose faith so easily? Iroh thought in shame, but he subconscious kicked in. Easy, because you love him, and you don't want him to get killed in a fiery death. What should I do?

And at that exact time, the building collapsed. Everyone, gasped, and the mother of the baby cried. Time stood still for Iroh. He couldn't think, or move. This can't be… Iroh slowly bowed his head, and a tear slowly trickled down his face. My nephew…I pray to Agni…spare his soul!

"Hey look! Something's moving!" Katara yelled, and Iroh looked up. Could it be? And he saw it. Zuko, slowly walking towards the two parents that were in both shocks. They did not know what this fire bender would do with their child. His clothes were damaged and burned, not to mention that he had various burn marks, and a huge wound on Zuko's head which was bleeding. Zuko was clutching to something on his stomach for dear life, and a toddler on his back.

When Zuko was within a foot of the baby's parents, there was no sound, except of the fires burning in the village, and the fight still going on between Aang and Zhao in the distance. Katara, and Sokka was in shock, seeing this act of kindness, was silent, and Iroh was silently thanking Agni for his nephew's return.

Zuko slowly unwrapped his arms, and held out the baby, who was miracusly untouched and silent. The mother and father grabbed the baby, and started crying. They kissed and hugged there baby, afraid of it disappearing again.

"Thank you," The father said with great gratitude. "Yes thank you. How can we ever repay you?" the mother asked.

"It was…nothing," Zuko said softly. "Oh! And before I forget-

"ZUKO!" Iroh yelled in delight and bear hugged Zuko, which was not a very good idea, since Zuko had burns all over his body, and a bad headache.

"Uncle!" Zuko chocked. "It's good to see you too! Especially when I'm not in PAIN!"

"Sorry Zuko," Iroh chuckled. "We must heal that nasty cut you have on your head,"

"Not right now," Iroh rolled his eyes. Zuko was being stubborn again as usual. "I must give you your son," Zuko implied towards the mother.

"Son?" the mother question.

"Yes, he's right… where did he go?" Zuko twirled around. The little boy was not on his back anymore, nor was nowhere in sight either.

Where did the boy go? How should I know? Wait, I should know, shouldn't I. (Backs away from computer slowly) Ha of course I know where he is, he's right umm…. I'll be back.

Iroh: Pilar has currently gone to think of where the mysterious boy should be

Pilar: Shut Up!

Iroh: I mean, she knows where he is (coughing) not

Pilar: What did you say?

Iroh: nothing, I just need some tea to help my coughing. And also that she wants to thank storm-of-insanity and Bakubear for their wonderful reviews.

Pilar: Good job, now here's a cookie

Iroh: I don't need you're cookies! (And stomps away leaving a confused teenager with a plate of cookies)
