He left the party right after it ended. He had danced the night away with the lovely Katara. He was convinced he had won her over. He had made her laugh and made her blush uncontrollably. Now it was time to begin phase 2.

He walked towards the forest. He looked over his shoulders to make sure nobody was following him. He entered. He kept walking and walking, avoiding trees, stumps, rocks, and vines. At the heart of the forest was a small and old cabin. He enter the dark cabin. The floor creaked at his steps. He felt a small wind and jumped. "Ugh. Don't do that. Do you want to give me heart attack."

She let out a sinister laugh, "That is no way to talk to your mother."

"What do you expect when you creep on me like that," he said crossing his arms at her.

She lite the small lamp. The room was not dark but it was sort of dim. The light of the lamp only touched half of their faces, leaving the other halves in the dark. Revealing her white hair, wrinkled face, and ice blue eyes.

"Tell me how was your evening," she asked.

"I did what you asked if that is what you are referring too," he answered.

"Yes but what happened?"

"She fell of course. They always do," he said with arrogance in his voice.

"What did you learn?"

"She is single, but still wears that betrothal necklace. Ummmmm... Oh yeah she has a daughter."

She raised her eyebrow and gave a deadly smile. "She has a daughter. What is her name?"

He saw her face it was the same face she gave when she had an idea. The she had given him when he met her.

He was only eleven then. His parents had been killed by the fire nation. He ran into the woods seeking refuge. It was the only place he felt safe, were he felt connected to his parents. He slept there for days in the comforting darkness of the forest.

The next day he awakened to see the old woman staring at him. He was terrified of her. He had heard many stories of Hama the Bloodbender and what she was capable of doing. Seeing the fear in his eyes, she said, "Don't worry child. I will not hurt you."

"Y-You won't," the little boy said in disbelief.

She combed his dark brown hair with her fingers and said, "Of course not, I have big plans for you."

"Y-You do," he said still terrified of her.

She let out a small laugh, "You're terrified of me." He nodded. "That's very good. Where are your parents?"

He looked at the ground and began to cry. "They're dead."

"Wonderful, I'll take you under my wing. I'll teach you everything I know."

"Is that your big plans for me," he innocently asked her.

"No I have bigger plans in store for you."

"Like what?"

"Once you have proven yourself worthy, I will tell you. Now come."

She walked towards the trees. He stood in the same spot confused. She looked over her shoulder and said, "What is your name child?"

"Shigeru."

"Shigeru, are you coming?"

"Yes ma'am," he said beginning to walk behind her.

Over the years, Hama cared for the child as her own. When he was sick, she healed him. Just like she had promised him, she trained him. Making him a master in waterbending and hand-to-hand combat by the age 13, a true prodigy. She saw as he grew the more handsome and powerful he became. At the moment their eyes fell on Shigeru, the girls of the village fell for him. Hama knew it was time to tell him her plans.

He kneeled on one knee and said staring at the ground, "You have summoned me mother."

"Yes. Do you remember what I told you years ago when I found you?"

He looked up at her. "Yes, that you have big plans for me. When I have proven myself worthy, you would tell me those plans."

"Correct. It is time for you to know my plan."

He nodded. She began, "Years ago, I met a girl by the name Katara. She showed great potential in waterbending. I showed and told her many tricks to the art of waterbending. When I showed her the art of bloodbending, she refused to do it. So I forced her by almost killing her brother and friend. She bloodbended me and defeated me. I was both hurt that she didn't want to learn from me and humiliated for being defeated by a 14 year old girl."

"What does that have to do with me," he asked.

"You will avenge me Shigeru."

"How mother?"

She lifted his chin and said, "With your pretty face of course."

He looked at her in confusion. "You will gain her trust eventually her love. When the time comes, I will strike. Her cries for forgiveness will be heard from every corner of the forest. Will you avenge me Shigeru?"

"Of course."

"Her name is Nami."

"Nami, what a beautiful name. This changes everything."

"How does this change everything?"

She put a hand on her forehead. "Shigeru, you need to start thinking like a villain."

"Sorry mother."

"I will explain. If you can get her precious daughter. I can use her to kill her mother."

"But how would you do that?"

"I will have to possess her. Once Katara begins to bleed to death. I will release her. Having Nami suffer for the rest of her life for killing her mother."

"That's a beautiful plan, but Nami is not a waterbender. She is a firebender."

"How do you know that?"

"Her chi doesn't run the same way a waterbender a does, but runs the same like a firebender."

"She is not a purebred."

"Nope she is of Fire Nation blood."

"Much better. I will enjoy this very much. Maybe, being inside her body I can reverse her chi. Allowing her to waterbend."

"You can do that," he said surprised.

"Yes. She has the genetic potential of being a waterbender. Therefore I can reverse her chi and unleash it once inside her."

"But how would I capture her?"

"It's quite simple. All you have to do is get alone with you. You will attack her and take her hostage."

"I understand. I can tell Katara that I would like to take Nami to the town, so I can get to know her. Once I have her, I will attack and bring her to you."

"Now you are thinking Shigeru. I knew you had a brain."

"We can't all be masterminds like you."

"That's because you are not my child by blood. When you have a the chance, ask Katara if you can take Nami out. And when I say when you have the chance, I mean tomorrow evening."

"As you wish."

"Good."

With that she vanished. She was no longer alive, but a spirit. Not allowed to enter the spirit world for still holding a grudge against a mortal.

Author's Note: I know you guys were expecting a confrontation between Zuko and Katara. But I thought it was time to announce the villians of the story. I promise next chapter you will read about their confrontation. I hope I didn't disappoint anybody.
