Chapter-1- Ambush
Aang laughed happily as he splashed through the water with dolphins. Katara laid down on the beach in her under clothes over a blanket soaking up some sun, Sokka, her older brother, marked areas to avoid on their map, Appa lazily slept in the sun opening his giant mouth to yawn occasionally, and MooMoo was nowhere to be seen. Sokka put down the map and looked over at his sister.
"Y'know if we hope to take on the fire lord we really don't have time to take a break." He grumbled.
"Oh come on." Katara said turning over on her back. "All Aang has to do now is master fire bending, maybe go over earth bending a little more and that's it. He's earned a quick break. Besides, avatar or no, he's still a kid. Let him have his fun."
He muttered something and went back to the map. Aang swam up to the beach laughing.
"Katara did you see? Huh? That was so awesome you gotta try…" He stopped talking as he stared at the ground under Katara.
The ground moved slightly and two steel armored arms burst from the sand and grabbed Katara. She screamed and struggled to get away but the hands held fast. Sokka pulled out his machete and started forward to help but three darts flew out from the trees behind him and hit him in the neck. He collapsed on the ground unable to move. Aang growled angrily and generated a dust tornado as tall as the palm trees and moved it over to where Katara was being held. It picked up both her and the attacker off of the ground. The tornado set down Katara who had been knocked unconscious but hurled the attacker far off into the ocean. Aang sprinted towards Katara, but before he could get to her at least a hundred Fire bender soldiers came up from the sand and from behind trees. One group tossed a huge net over Appa, pinning him down to the ground, one soldier walked out of the trees holding a cage containing MooMoo. One fire bender blasted a fire ball at Aang and Katara. Aang grabbed Katara and leapt high into the air. Several flaming arrows followed him. One struck him across the cheek leaving a deep wound. He landed back down on the ground and manipulated the sand to form a barrier between him and the soldiers. The barrier was soon broken and Aang was sent flying back several feet away from Katara. He hoped back up to see a Fire bender in distinguishing armor holding up Katara by the back of her head with a knife to her throat.
"Come with us or your little friend dies!" he sneered.
Katara stirred slightly and opened her eyes, then gasped.
"Aang….." She said slowly.
The fire general pressed the knife harder against her throat, drawing a single drop of blood. Behind him a group of soldiers armed to the teeth with spears and swords stood over Sokka waiting to strike.
Aang dropped to his knees. The Fire general chuckled and muttered something that sounded like "Weakling" and tossed Katara over to where Sokka was. She landed hard on her shoulder, scratching it slightly. The soldiers moved over to Aang and shackled him with chains and locks all over him body.
"Aang!" Katara shouted.
"If you follow, we will kill you, your brother, and the avatar. You will not be warned again." The fire lord said to her.
He signaled to his soldiers who grabbed Aang's thoroughly chained body and in unison, pressed a button on their arm bands. Then they sort of disappeared, and Aang along with them.
