Where'd You Go?
Chapter 2
Every Generation Needs a New Revolution
The Police Officer led them to a warehouse that was owned by a Merchant who traveled around the Earth Kingdom. The Merchant was away on business at this time. Suspicious activity was reported with a few men breaking in and carrying a women with them. The warehouse was almost empty, only a few large crates and boxes filled the warehouse. The warehouse showed forced entry. When you took a closer look you could see scorch marks on the walls and wet floors. Nothing looked stolen out of the crates and boxes. Aang noticed some drops of blood near a crate. It could be Katara's, or it could be someone else's from whatever fight happened here.
Toph pointed to crates near the back, "There is someone behind those crates."
Sokka nodded and motioned to Aang to come over. Toph kicked her foot up and slammed it down on the ground. The person behind the crate screamed as they shot up in the air. Toph metal bended a metal cable out from her armor and caught the guy in mid-air. She pulled the cable and the guy flew over to them, tied in the cable.
"Poon didn't do it! Poon didn't do it!" The guy yelled, frantic.
Toph crossed her arms, "Whose Poon?"
"I Poon! But Poon didn't do it!" The guy shut his eyes tight and shook his head quickly.
"Whatever he's talking about, he's lying. He did something," Toph looked in Aang direction.
Aang sat down in front of the man, "Hi. I'm Aang. I know you must be scared right now, but I need your help."
The man slowly looked up at Aang and nodded a little, "Poon."
"Hi, Poon. Do you know what happened here?" Aang asked helping Poon sit up.
Poon looked at Aang, "Big fight. Poon was just sleeping here when Poon heard the door blast open. They had a girl, she looked hurt. She was bleeding."
"Who are they?" Aang asked.
"Firebenders!" Poon nodded.
Sokka and Aang exchanged looks, "What happened next?"
"She was blindfolded and tied up. She was able to get out and started fighting with the men that took her. Water and Fire was flying everywhere! She ran out of water quickly, to bad too. She's an amazing fighter!" The guy smiled.
Aang smiled too, "Do you know where they went?"
The guy shook his head, "Poon don't know. Poon just know they left on a boat."
Aang nodded, "Thank you, Poon. You helped a lot."
Poon smiled, "Poon happy to help Aang."
Aang helped Poon up after Toph metal bended the cables off of him. As the Police Officers started to walk him out Poon yelled, "Wait! Wait! There was a girl with the fire benders, too!"
"What girl?" Toph asked.
Poon looked scared, "She looked angry. Very angry."
Sokka, Aang, and Toph were back in Toph's office. Bumi was sitting next to Aang, drawing in a coloring book.
"Could it really be her?" Sokka asked, pacing.
"We have no proof that it is her. Any girl can have an angry face when someone fights back." Toph leaned on her desk with her arms crossed.
"We know that Katara fought Firebenders, so it is a possibility that it's her. But people who followed Ozai will listen to anyone who wants to mess with the Avatar." Aang commented back, looking at Bumi. Suki brought Bumi back inside when she got called to her job.
"No matter what, this involves the Fire Nation," Sokka said.
"And Fire Nation means Sparky," Toph smirked, "It's been a while since we've seen him."
"Almost a year to be exact," Aang said, leaned back on the chair, "I can't leave Bumi here with the Air Acolytes. I know they mean well but they didn't even realize Katara was gone until I told them what happened."
Sokka nodded, "Suki could take care of him."
Aang nodded, "That's a good idea, but she has to work. Who will take care of him during her shift?"
Toph cleared her throat, "We should bring him with us to the Fire Nation Palace. Zuko has trained guards there. They can protect Bumi better than Suki, no offence Sokka."
"None taken. You're right. Suki is only one person. If it is her, Suki can't protect herself and Bumi at the same time." Sokka looked at his nephew, who was oblivious as to that they were talking about.
"Alright, pack up your things. We're leaving in the morning for the Fire Nation," Aang said.
"Fire Lord Zuko!" a guard came running into the dining room. Zuko was eating with Mai and his 5 year old daughter, Honora.
"Yes?" Zuko looked at the guard.
"We just received word that Katara of the Southern Water Tribe has been taken prisoner by an unknown source." The Guard handed him a scroll.
Zuko took the scroll and opened it, it was from Aang explaining everything – and how they think it's Azula behind this. Aang explained that they would be arriving tomorrow night.
"Thank you," Zuko nodded to the Guard, who bowed and left.
"What's wrong, Zuko?" Mai asked, cutting up Honora's steak.
"Aang think's Azula is back," Zuko looked at Mai, worried.
Mai stopped cutting the steak and looked at Zuko, "Are they sure?"
Zuko sighed, "I don't know. They said they would explain it in more detail when they arrive here tomorrow night."
Mai looked at Honora who looked at her mother worried, "Is something wrong, mama?"
Mai smiled sadly and kissed the top of Honora's head, "No, darling. Hurry up and eat, your food will get cold."
Honora smiled and nodded, "Thank you for cutting my steak!"
Mai smiled, "You're welcome, darling."
