Book-1

Chapter-2- The prisoner

Aang wasn't sure about what happened. He was on the beach one minute and the next he was on a fire bender ship, staring at the fire lord. He smirked devilishly.

"So….." he began. "You're the avatar….the thorn that's been in the fire nation's side for a hundred years….hmmm…I thought you'd be taller…." He waved his hand. "Take him to the "trophy room"." He said grinning evilly.

A soldier grabbed Aang and dragged him into a room under deck. The walls were lined with mounted heads of rare and dangerous animals. On podiums behind protective glass were ancient artifacts, but what really caught his eye was a solid gold cage as big as a small room. In it was a kid about Katara's age. Maybe a year or two older. His skin was extremely pale and he had silver cat like eyes that were extremely creepy. He was wearing black pants and a loose fitting black shirt. His hair was long and unkempt. Covering his eyes were a pair of heavily tinted circular glasses with very thin frames. He was lying on a small sleeping pad, reading a scroll.

"Your roommate." The soldier sneered tossing Aang into a cage similar to the other kids except it was steel. "Get comfortable. You'll be here awhile!"

He left the room and locked the door behind him.

Aang looked over to the cage next to him and stared at the strange kid.

"Hey my name's Aang." He said trying to sound cheerful.

The kid was silent.

"Hey did you hear me?" Aang asked.

"Shhhhh….." He said quietly holding up a finger. "Can you hear that?"

Aang was silent. "What?" He whispered.

"That's the sound of me not caring. Get used to it." The kid snapped.

Aang huffed and sat on the little bed that was in his cage. After a while he heard the kid sigh and wrap the scroll.

"It's Yun." He said turning his head to face Aang.

"How long have you been in here?" Aang said hoping up.

Yun snorted. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" he said rubbing his eyes.

"Try me. A month or two?" Aang asked.

"Try about a hundred years, or at least before the war started." He said grinning slightly.

"Are you serious!? You're joking! But you can't be more than fifteen years old!" Aang declared.

"It's a long story…." Why are you in here anyway? You don't seem so important." Yun said.

"I'm the avatar." Aang said simply.

Yun gave him a blank look.

"Y'know. The Avatar, the guy whose supposed to end the war and restore peace to the four elements?" Aang said.

Yun chuckled. "You're doing a hell of a job."

"They caught me off guard." Aang snapped. "They would have killed my friends…"

They were quite for awhile.

"Five…." Yun said quietly.

"Huh?" Aang asked.

"There are five elements….at least there used to be….."

"What do you mean?"

-Meanwhile-

Katara pushed herself up painfully. She crawled over to Sokka and carefully took out the darts. When they were gone he instantly jumped back up, machete swinging wildly and yelling his battle cry. He stopped when he saw his badly injured sister.

"So…Sokka….get me in the water….." She said softly.

He nodded and dropped his machete and picked her up, dragging her to the water. He laid her down on the bank and she closed her eyes and started to glow with a blue-ish white aura. The bruises, scratches and other wounds healed instantly.

Sokka watched in awe. His sister stood up from the water and stumbled over to him. He caught her and looked down at her.

"We got to go after them!" She said standing up straight again.

He nodded. They ran over to Appa and while Katara redressed, Sokka cut the giant animal loose. Katara, using water bending, cut the locks on Moomoo's cage. He jumped out and chirped happily, licking Katara's cheek.

"Let's Go." Sokka said jumping up in Appa's saddle and pulling his sister up with him.

"We have to save Aang" Katara thought desperately.
