The 3rd Fire Nation Betrayer

Thanks for the reviews. I'm sorry I haven't been updating recently, I have just been WAY too busy. School's starting soon, so that will be even more time that you all have to wait for upcoming chapters. I have a lot of ideas in my head for this chapter… So, I hope you all enjoy it.

Oh, and P.S. I'm sorry I haven't been telling you what Naomi looks like, so I'll put it all in this chapter… I know I have put down a few things, but yah… I feel guilty not putting it down, and don't want to read all the other chapters… So anyway, hope you enjoy…

!CHAPTER 5!

R&R

Zuko awoke a few minutes after the five people left. He sat up and rubbed his head.

"What happened?" He whispered to himself. He then remembered. "The Avatar escaped. Again," He said, standing up and looking around in the sky. He saw no traces of a flying bison, only the 6 large footprints that it left on the sandy ground. Zuko looked at where the paw prints were facing, then thought he'd see if the small group went in that direction. Not too far away, Ty Lee woke up. She stepped away from the tree she hit and looked around, seeing her two friends. She walked over to Azula, who was starting to move.

"Uh… Princess Azula? Are you alright?" Ty Lee asked, helping her friend up.

"Yes, Ty Lee, I am. Where did the Avatar go? With my stupid brother?" Azula asked.

"I'm not so sure. I doubt it though. Zuko could never get him." Ty Lee walked over to Mai, who was rubbing the spot Sokka hit her, a small bruise forming. "Mai, do you know what happened?"

"All I know is you boyfriend hit me in the head!" Mai said, pointing to the bruise.

"He's not my boyfriend! Just because I said-"

"Ok, ok enough," Azula said, separating the two. " All that we need to worry about is where the Avatar is. Not whether or not Ty Lee likes a guy on the Avatar's side." Azula sat on one of the three lizards that were hiding and made a motion with her hand as if to say, "come on". The other two girls sat on their lizards. "Alright, let's go separate ways. I'll go this way," Azula pointed to the direction Zuko was going. She had a feeling her brother was somewhere that way. "Ty Lee, you go that way," Azula pointed in the opposite direction she was going. "And Mai, you go that way," Azula said, pointing to her left. "Now one of us has to find the Avatar." All three girls rode off in their directions. After a few minutes, Azula was starting to wonder if the Avatar went the way she told none of them to go: To her right. "We'll just have to see," she told herself.

Aang lied down on Appa, tired from earlier. He just now had feeling in his arms, so he could finally bend again. Aang sat up and stared at everybody.

"So… What's your name?" Aang asked, sitting up.

"Naomi… I don't know who any of you are… Only that you are the Avatar," Naomi said, looking at Aang.

"Hi Naomi, I'm Katara, This is my brother, Sokka," Katara pointed both hands at Sokka. "This is Toph," She pointed her hands at the 12 year old sitting next to her. "And Aang is the Avatar's name."

"Hi…" Naomi said to everybody. "So… What do you usually do?"

"The usual… Save Aang from those people you saw earlier, teach Aang the elements, that stuff," Sokka said, looking below Appa, seeing nothing but fields.

"Hey, you are a fire bender right?" Aang asked Naomi, starting to get a bit excited.

"Right… And?"

"Maybe you can teach me fire bending! I know a bit of it, you know, the basics, but I really need help controlling it," Aang said, smiling apologetically at Katara.

"Really? COOL! I'd love to! Do you know the rest of the elements?" Naomi asked.

"Why does everybody think that I have to learn the other elements to learn fire bending?" Aang asked, getting slightly annoyed.

"I didn't say you had to… I was just wondering… And who's this… "Everybody"?"

"Ok… Well, I have learned the other elements, and when I was first learning fire bending, I went to this one guy's place, and he escaped the fire nation without being killed… Sort of like you I guess, but he was really grumpy and old and everything. He said I had to learn the other elements before I could learn fire bending, and back then, I didn't know earth bending, so yah…" Aang said, saying the last two words kind of blankly.

"I think I've heard of that guy before…" Naomi said, her red eyes looking up into the sky in concentration. " He, and… some other guy, I forget his name. I have never seen even one of them before, but I think they are called the fire nation betrayers… or something. I've heard some people use that name when they were talking about them, and I have seen their pictures on wanted posters… and that's it I guess."

"Hey, if they are on wanted posters, and Aang is, and a few other people that are against the fire nation, shouldn't you be?" Sokka asked.

"Uh… I guess, but I've never seen a poster with me on it…" Naomi said, picking her cat up as it walked out of her tan bag. Sokka noticed a small lump that was left in the bag. Sokka, having a natural curiosity of many things, took out a crumpled piece of paper. He opened it up, making Aang and Katara lean over to look over his shoulder, trying to see what the piece of paper said.

"Or have you?" Sokka asked, grinning slyly. Naomi snatched the paper away from him.

"Ok, ok… I have seen one, but only one! You can look in the bag… you won't find anything else… Besides, that's one less sign I have to worry about people seeing," Naomi said, staring at the picture.

"What does it have on it?" Toph asked, being blind, she didn't know what a piece of old paper had on it.

"It's a wanted poster for Naomi," Sokka said, still grinning.

"With no importance what so ever. Ah!" Naomi reached out to grab the flying paper, but failed to catch it. "Ok… Now I have nothing," She said, staring at her hands. "I wonder where it landed," Katara looked over the side of Appa, being a little too high above the ground to see any sign of where it went.

"Hey, Naomi, I was always wondering… why do you wear a shirt with the fire nation symbol on it?" Sokka asked suspiciously. Naomi looked down at her shirt.

"Uh… well, you know how I was in Azula's ship thing? Well first of all I was doing this one school that somebody was teaching… Forget, but yah. Then I did a lot of wrong things… Fire bending doesn't come that easily to me. Apparently, they didn't take that excuse… Nor the excuse of my not using my powers for evil… Then they locked me up, I escaped, saw you, met that… scar guy, then went to you and helped you all fight Azula and those other people, so I haven't really had any time… Nor money to buy anything else."

"Oh yah, well then why-?"

"Sokka, stop doing that. She's fine alright?" Katara said, cutting her brother off. She was getting annoyed at him, even though deep down, Katara kind of agreed with him.

"He has a point… You know, asking all these things," Toph said, fiddling with a small clump or dirt she found on Appa's saddle.

"Why won't you trust me?" Naomi asked Toph, leaning forward.

"Should I? You are a fire bender. What should I do? Trust a person after I just barely met them?"

"Well, no, but still," Naomi said, staring at the ground.

"Why does every new member have to have a rivalry with some one else?" Katara whispered to Aang.

"I don't know…" Aang whispered back. "But you're right… It's happening again."

"What's happening again?" Naomi asked, turning to Aang and Katara.

"Uh… nothing," Aang said, giggling silently. Naomi turned back to look at the ground, her short red pigtails swaying in the wind as Appa flew across a wide plain.

Zuko got off his ostrichhorse and picked up a piece of paper off the ground.

"What's this?" He asked himself. In front of him was the wanted poster of Naomi. "Wait, that girl was wanted?"

Ok, I hope you liked this chapter, I'll try to update soon, and yah… hope you liked it… Uh…
