Chapter 6
A/N wow 11:34 pm, I must be insane, expect possible really random humor, misspellings, and other signs of sleep deprivation. Thanks tennyshoes, practically my only reviewer besides my cousins, whom I love, but it's kind of in their contract to review, man I love spell check, anyways on with the chapter.
"Quick, grab on to my back." whisperedBaang. Sota obliged and soon they were speeding down the hallway. Nobles visiting the Fire Lord might wonder why they were running down the palace hallway at top speed, but the staff new better. These boys were currently seeing if they could run so fast that they couldn't be seen, or at least to see if Baang could run that fast with Sota on his back. For the past hour the boys had done this while looking for the girls, but the girls were a little more stratistic. (I don't think that's a word) They were currently hiding behind a tapestry watching the boys run right into their trap. The idea to set up a trip wire, that activated a net that would fall on the boys, had been Jai Li's idea. That's why they made such a good team, Jia Li was great at making plans, and Hazuki was great at making them a reality. The boys on the other hand, well Sota tended to have insane, but possible, plans and Baang, was a goofball, who would try and make them become a reality. Sota thought that if they could get fast enough that the eye wouldn't be able to move fast enough to see them. He was right, but the problem had been reaching that speed.
Suddenly, Baang tripped and went flying, right into a net. Hazuki and Jia Li popped out.
"Ha, we win!" Yelled Hazuki.
"Hey this is dad's fishing net!" Sota informed them.
"Yah, so don't rip it, I'll get in sooooo much trouble" Jia Li commanded. When they were all standing upright Baang yelled,
"Lets play again." And he was unaware that at the exact moment he said these words, Aang, Toph, and Katara entered an underground prison that was kept secret from everyone except the present Fire Lord, and now these three old friends..
"This place gives me the creeps." Aang said as they walked down the tunnel. The others nodded in agreement. Then a gust of wind came barrling down the hallway, which Aang quickly bended around himself and his friends.
"Hello. Is anyone there?" Katara called. Aang and Toph looked at her as though she was crazy. "What?" She asked when she caught the look on their faces.
"Well first if anyone was there I would have seen them, Air bending or not, you think I haven't learned how to see Air benders with an Air bending husband and son?" Toph asked skeptically.
"And that air wasn't bended, we stepped on this." Aang said showing her a thin, almost invisible, wire right behind them. But before Katara had time to respond, Toph put her hand on the ground.
"Someone's coming." She said, "Just one, all he is holding is a staff." Aang got a worried look on his face.
"Could you describe the staff?" Aang asked
"Its, actually is like yours but this one, has spirals on it." Toph answered. Aang's face if possible looked more worried.
"Stand behind me, single file." He commanded. They both did what he said. "Katara, how did you guys talk to them before?" He asked in a whisper.
"Well when we found the entrance we called down to see if anyone was there, and two men came and started yelling their bald heads off at us, that's as far as we got." Katara answered. Aang nodded then focused his attention farther down the tunnel where a man emerged from the darkness.
"Hi, um… my name is Aang what's yours?" Aang called to the figure.
"Do you come to mock me?" The man asked in a strangely familiar voice.
"Um… I don't think so." Then he whispered to Katara, "Are we here to mock them?"
"Of coarse not." Katara exclaimed.
"If you are not here to mock me, what is your purpose here, imposter?" The man asked.
"How am I an Imposter?" Aang asked confused.
"I raised Avatar Aang, he would be over a hundred you are no where near that age." He answered.
"But I am the Avatar, I accidentally froze Appa and myself in a iceberg for a hundred years." Aang protested.
"Do not toy with me; I am Gyatso trainer of the Avatar." Gyatso yelled. Aang at this moment lost all self control. He ran right to Gyatso and gave him a huge hug,
"Gyatso, I thought you were dead." Aang exclaimed tears running down his cheeks. Gyatso looked down at Aang, and he recognized the boy's eyes in him.
"A-Aang?" He asked, "Could that really be you? Oh how I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, Gyatso."
A/N I like this chapter, a lot, so R&R, and tennyshoes, what do you want to happen in the story? You guessed correctly so you can pick something you want to happen, and I'll put it in the story.
