Zuko walked into a bar and found Jun, Kalo, Jee, and Balthier sitting around a table. "Good, you guys are gathered. I have a few people for you to meet. Come on."

Everyone stands up and follows Zuko out of the bar. When they get outside Jee notices three new people. "Hi, I am Admeral Jee. Who are you?"

Seifer steps up and smiles. "I am Seifer Almasly, the silent girl is Fujin Koriasa, and the blind one is Toph Bei Fong. And the rest of you are?"

Balthier steps up. "I am Balthier, the girl with the snake tatoos in Jun the bounty hunter, and the guy with spiky hair is Kalo."

Zuko stares wide eyes at Kalo. "When did you wake up?"

"About a week ago. We were attacked by pirates."

"Is that what happened to my ship." Zuko asks looking at the spot where his ship use to be.

Kalo rubs the back of his head and smiles. "Yup. Sorry, but they destroyed it before we could do anything."

Zuko looks around and frowns. " That's okay, as long as everyone is safe. So where is Mai, Vivi, Vaan, Lulu, Palam, Yuna, and Fran."

Zuko notices Balthier flinching at Fran's name. Jee frowns. "Fran died during the pirate attack. Everyone else is on the new ship. But we need to talk."

Zuko frowns at the news. "I'm sorry to hear about her. What do we need to talk about?" Jee motions for Zuko and the others to follow him. They soon reach a small ship, with the crew plus one standing next to it. "Who is that?" Zuko asks.

"That is our newest member, Kain." Jee respondes. "OK,. now everyone, we need to discuss your plans with Zuko."

Kalo turns to Zuko. "Me and Jun need to leave and travel through the earth kingdom. I have some friends that will be willing to help us."

Zuko frowns. "If it is nessicary. Is that what we needd to talk about, our crew splitting up."

Jee nods and motions for Yuna to speak. "I also wanted to request for leave to travel to the northern water tribe. I want to learn to heal, and they are suppose to be the best."

Zuko frowns. "Will anyone else be going with you?"

Yuna frowns. "No, why?"

"Then no. I will not have you leave without protection. Now if any one else will go with you, I will let you leave."

Vivi steps forward. "I will go with her." Zuko smiles.

"Anyone else who wants to go step forward." Vaan, Palom and Lulu step forward. "Good. Then you may all leave."

Yuna smiles and turns. "Wait!" Mai yells. Everyone turns to her and see her crying. "I want you to take my son, Tom-Tom with you. He dosen't need to travel with us where we are going."

Yuna frowns. "I would be honored to take care of him. But what do I tell him about you?"

Mai tried to smile. "Don't tell him I am his mother until he is older. I want him to be happy and safe. Please, promise me you wont tell him the truth until he is ready."

"I promise Mai." Mai turned and entered the boat. She returned a few minutes later with Tom-Tom and handed him to Yuna.

"Keep him safe." Yuna nodded and turned to her party. "Come, we need to find a ship." Vaan, Palam, Lulu, and Vivi nodded and followed her.

"So, when are you leaving Kalo?" Zuko asks turning to face Kalo.

"Tonight." Kalo turns to face Seifer. "What is the condition of the quake?"

Seifer smiles. "The earth rumbles at the sight of green fire." Kalo nods.

"Come on Jun. We need to find a room to stay in." Jun nods and follows Kalo.

Zuko turns to Seifer. "What was that about?"

Seifer shrugs. "Something my father told me to tell people if they asked about him."

Zuko raises an eyebrow in comfusion. "He asked about your father?"

"Ya, that was what he asked."

Zuko shrugs and turns to Jee. "So, whe do we go now?"

"I think we should go south from here to Kyoshi Island to restock there. Then we will head for ths Southern Water Tribe. If we leave now, and we will be in Kyoshi waters in about a month." Zuko nods and the small group boards the ship.

Kain puts a hand on Mai's shoulder and smiles. "Don't leave without me. I need to inform Rosa of our journey." Mai nods and boards the ship.

Sokka entered the hut and found Katara and Gran-Gran working on the girl. "Is their anything I can do to help?" Sokka asks.

Katara smiles and throws a small bowl at Sokka. "Yes, can you go out and fill that with water, then warm it up?" Sokka nods and walks out of the hut. The girl had been out for a few hours, and Sokka worried for her. He made his way to the water and filled the bowl. He then took it to the nearest lit fire pit and put in close to the fire. As he stared into the fire, he thought of the raid again. It happened three years ago, and everytime Sokka looked into a fire, all he could see was Katara and his Father crying over the covered body of their mother. He never saw the corpes, and for that he was lucky. But poor Katara. She was too young to have to see that. He noticed the water start to boil, so he took the water too his sister. I need to avoid fire. It makes me think way too much.

Sokka waked back into the hut and handed the water to Katara. "Thank you." Sokka nodded and turned to the girl.

Kanna turned to her grandson and smiled. "So, do you learn anything before she passed out?"

"No, gran-gran. All she said was 'help me.' I was supprised she could talk."

"That is a supprise. She looks like a northern snowy fox, exept the black tipped ears. But she also resembles a human as well. Mabey we will learn more when she wakes up."

Sokka looks back down at the girl and sighs. Why do I feel so worried about her? I don't even know her.

Azula stood on the deck of the ship, looking out at the ocean. Father will pay for banishing me. Azula turns as she hears someone walking up behind her. She sees Captain Zhao walking up to her. "What do you want, captain?"

"Please, call me Zhao, princess. I am in the same boat as you, after all." he chuckled at his pun. When he saw no humor in Azula's face, he frowned. "I was banished for speaking aginst your father."

Azula raised her good eyebrow. "What about?"

"He was being to stubborn about one of our colonies. They where planning a rebellion and he refused to belive it. I have sources in that colony and I tried to convince him to listen, but he instead banished me for speaking out of turn."

"Where is this supposed resistance anyway?"

"Gaoling."

Azula sighs. "Of course he isn't going to attack Gaoling, you idiot. They are too imprtant for us financually. If he did attack a resistance, that might not even exist, we might lose a lot of our war funds, so no, we are not in the same boat. You were simply an idiot and I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Azula sneered as she turned away from Zhao. She walked away and went down to her cabin. Damn fool, compairing himself to me. She entered her cabin and looked in the mirror. She touched the scar on the left side of her face and sighed. I look horrible. How could father do this to me. I guess this is what those damned priests call karma. Stupid Zuko, even when your not here you still curse me. She sighed and turned to look at a picture of her and a young boy holding hands. She picked it up and sighed. Will you still love me, even looking like this.

Jecht was scouting around the coast when he saw a small boat crashed onto the shore. He rushed to it and found a man and a woman huddled together. The man looked up and tried to smile. "Please, take her and keep her safe..." he started to cough a lot.

Jecht holds the man up and frowns. "I won't leave you behind, either."

The man frowns. "No, you must protect her. I was a simple souldier assighned to protect her. This is my final mission..." he started into another coughing fit. Jecht help him stabalize and he grabbed the collor of Jecht's parka. "Please, you must protect Lady Ursa." he said before passing out. Jecht sighed. I guess I can't save him. But I will save her.

Jecht picks up Ursa and carried her to the city. When the guards let him in he rushed to Yugoda's hut. When he entered Yugoda was teaching a healing class. "Healer, you need to help me."

Yugoda stands andwlks over to Jecht. She inspects the girl and turns to the class. "You are dismissed for the day. I have buisness." The class leaves and Yugoda turns to Jecht. "Put her on the table and I will start." Jecht amiles and watches as Yugoda heals the girl.

Kain walked down the beach near the city, until he was out of sight. "Rosa, it is safe to come out." he calls out gently. The dragon emerges from the trees and nuzzles her friend. "We are leaving soon. I need you to stay underwater for about three days. Then it will be safe for you to board the ship."

Rosa sighs. "I'm tired of hiding. I was once a proud beast, now I feel like a thief in the night."

Kain laughs. "I'm sorry you have to hide all the time. But the fire nation thinks they killed all of us off, and a dragon showing up in town would alert them to our presance. But in the south we will be able to stay in sight. I promise." Rosa sighs again and nozzles Kain.

"When are we leaving?"

"As soon as I get back to the ship, we set sail. Get in the water and follow our ship." Rosa nods and enters the water.
