Chapter 10
The Storm
Disclaimer: HA YOU FELL FOR CHAPTER 9 SOOOO BADLY! HAHAHA! You really thought I was going to make that happen so quickly? No.
Katara glanced at the storm as Luna looked at her nails as if they were the world's most interesting thing she ever saw as Sokka yawned and grumbled, "How much longer?"
"Longer than we hope, there is a storm."
"Just go through then." shrugged Luna as she too yawned.
Katara did respond instead she glanced at the storm and saw a harbour and called, "There is a harbour we'll stay there for the night."
Landing by the Harbour they watched a couple argue how the storm was dangerous, and was going to become a disaster as Katara looked ahead and asked, "What do you mean a disaster?"
"A hurricane, it will wipe out the village, we could really use Avatar Aang to stop it."
Katara was silent as she and her brother walked away as Luna groaned, "Oh come on, not like that-"
"Luna shut up!" snapped Sokka as he looked at his sister and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"The storm, I…I, I wish I knew more about Airbending."
"What about those scrolls?"
"It is truly difficult, it is very complicated."
"Oh, how pity… yeah right, I bet I could master it in a snap!" scoffed Luna as she smirked at Katara as she growled and stormed off to meditate.
"Luna, this place is officially a harbour, you might as well head back home, you are getting up to here on my nerve rate." Shouted Sokka angrily indicating the anger level as Luna shrugged, "Whatever."
Katara walked into an inn and saw people packing up as she walked over to the Inn owner and began, "Uh, what is going on here?"
"Everyone is leaving the village because of the hurricane coming; you should get going too miss."
"Okay thanks for telling us."
Katara walked out and ran over to her brother and sighed, "The Inns are closing because they are fleeing, we better get going."
"We can't go in the middle of the beginning!" exclaimed Sokka, "We'll go into a cave or something."
Katara nodded and asked, "Where is Luna?"
"Oh she went to get some food."
Luna came back and groaned, "All the food shops are closed, but I managed to get some fruits."
"Alright, now let's go."

"Prince Zuko there is a storm coming right ahead of us."
"We are going North uncle, even the Avatar girl will go through it."
"She may have gotten through it before the storm approached Prince Zuko, you should-,"
"Sir we need to turn around, we'll get killed out there."
"No, we continue going forward."
"ERG! I JUST HAD ENOUGH OF LISTENING TO YOUR STUPID REASONS! WHY CAN'T WE GO HOME!?"
Iroh spat out his tea and waited for his nephew's response.
Surprisingly the teen response was calm but sharp, "Do you think I like being out here far from home?"
Zuko spun around and continued with anger and flames erupting from his fists and yelled angrily, "NO I DON'T I WANT TO GO HOME AS MUCH AS ALL OF YOU! THE SOONER WE CAPTURE THE AVATAR, THE SOONER WE CAN ALL FINALLY GO HOME!"
Zuko stormed inside leaving the men silent including Iroh until the captain spoke up again, "What a pathetic excuse."
Little did he know Zuko was still in hearing distance which made him regret what he just mentioned as the teen ran out and shot flames at the Captain who was prepared for this as the two of them fought until Iroh broke them up and shouted, "Enough both of you, Zuko mediate, Captain, Men go back and do your jobs."
The men scurried away as the Captain stormed away as Zuko stormed up to the bow of the ship a clutched to the railing until his knuckles turned white as Iroh placed a hand on his nephew's shoulder and began, "They'll understand eventually-,"
"No, no one does uncle, only you. Just leave me alone."
"Why not have a nap Zuko? You have been restless for the last four days."
"I don't need sleep."
Iroh shook his head and turned Zuko to face him and replied sternly, "Zuko everyone needs their sleep, you can't defeat the avatar without sleep."
Zuko growled and shook off his uncle's hand and stormed angrily into his room slamming the door behind him."

"Katara, I found a cave, it's at a good place, and it is gigantic!" exclaimed Sokka waving his hands in the air freely.
Katara nodded as she shouted, "YIP! YIP!"
Appa took off into the air as the wind began picking up as they quickly got into the cave as Appa went into the far back of the corner and curled up as Sokka started a fire as Luna fell asleep as Sokka cooked his jerky while Katara stood but the entrance and watched the storm whipped up stronger.

"I am telling ya, we got to do something about that damn prince, he is wasting…"
"I would shut your mouth sir."
The crew glanced up at the stern angry voice.
"General Iroh…I, I, am terribly sorry."
"No it's okay, but Zuko…he has been through a lot…"
"What could have the prince been through?"
Iroh sighed as he began telling them about the story how Zuko was banished and was scarred…
"He spoke up for us…he spoke up to save us all…"
"Captain! There is a storm that is growing rough!"
"YES SIR! LET'S MOVE MEN!"

Zuko breathed in, and out, in and out slowly until he was slammed against the wall and groaned as he ran out of his room and saw the storm and gasped, "No…"
"Sir! We might not be able to make it!" shouted the captain as he gripped on to the railing as the men hurried inside to help the helmsman control the ship.
Zuko was slammed into the railing as he clutched to his shoulder as he gripped on to the slippery railing as a wave crashed on board whipping him into the other side of the railing as he hissed in pain as he saw his uncle and shouted, "UNCLE GET INSIDE!"
"ZUKO! LOOK OUT!"
Zuko looked over his shoulder and saw another wave as his pupil grew small from the horror of the giant wave about to wipe him off board…

Katara walked over to the entrance and watched the rapids of the waves grow high…
Tossing something around like a toy boat…
Boat…
A ship…
Katara gasped as she ran and leaped out the cave and ran to the harbour and made an ice board and shot into the ocean towards the ship…

Zuko watched the wave grow bigger and bigger as it…
It was destroyed.
Watching someone glide on the water breaking the waves Zuko was suddenly thrown off board into the water and struggled to get to the surface.
Suddenly the glider dove into the water and waterbended him out of the water along with itself.
He coughed for air, but with water trapped in his lungs he couldn't breathe.
The water was out of his lungs in seconds as he coughed for some air and gazed up at the waterbender and gasped, "You…"
She ignored him as she stood up and watched a wave grow bigger and bigger…
Lightning shot at the ship towards her as Zuko saw her capture the lightning's energy and redirected it at the wave making everything calm again.
Iroh ran outside and hugged Zuko as Zuko was gawking still, "You…lightning…redirected…lightning…shitt…how…?"
Katara shot him a weak smile as he finally snapped out of dummy world and asked, "Why did you save us?"
Katara threw herself on to the water and bowed, "No one deserves to die except for your father and whoever killed my mother."
She vanished in thin air.
Zuko was too shocked to speak, as Iroh smiled at his nephew, "Well she is a fine avatar isn't she?"
Zuko blinked and asked, "What is that supposed to me?"
"She has mercy for her enemies."
Zuko paused and left to go inside and stopped as he turned to his men and whispered, "I am sorry, for leading us into a ruthless storm…"
The men shrugged and smiled, "So what? We survived, besides if you didn't lead us into the storm, who knows what the Earth Kingdom would've done to us!"
Everyone laughed as Iroh shouted with glee, "MUSIC NIGHT IT IS!"
Zuko shook his head as he went inside.
For some reason he couldn't stop thinking about when she said, "No one deserves to die except for your father and whoever killed my mother."
Zuko closed his eyes and looked at her necklace that dangled from his wrist and placed it aside as he fell asleep.
