Draco watched the flame intently. He turned his head over to look at his new friends, all fast asleep. He had a small smile on his face as he watched them slumber peacefully before it turned into a frown. He turned back to the fire and dug his hand into his pocket. He then pulled out a folded up photograph. He unfolded it and stared at the picture. It was a picture of them all together, the Titans and Sarah, at the beach. They had asked a random guy to take their picture and he was glad to do so.

Draco's eyes wandered to the faces of his friends and teammates. He then looked at Jinx and him together, holding hands. All of them were sitting on a large beach blanket together and smiling largely at the camera. Well, Shadow and Raven didn't exactly smile THAT wide but they did smile, even if they were small.

A tear rolled down his cheek and he wiped it away with his hand. He had to stay strong and find a way back home.


A portal opened up in the middle of nowhere and two men jumped out of it. Both of them were incognito, wearing Earth Kingdom clothes. One of them, as we all know, was Antonitis Fenton McCrown, Ant for short. With him was a musical Vizard who was named Ryunosuke Kazama but also known as Ryan by his friends. Strapped to his back was his Guitar Axe and on his belt were his Trumpet Blaster, Oni Kunai and Drum Clubs.

Ant, dressed in a green and yellow tunic with dirt brown pants and a stray hat, looked around. He checked a device designed to track down tachyon particles. The signal was faint but enough to tell them that they were in the right place.

Ryan was wearing what looked like a Shinigami uniform but in deep green. His pink hair had been dyed into a nice dark brown color.

"So, where to, Ant?" Ryan asked.

"Don't know," Ant replied. "The signal's too faint for me to get a lock on it. It's here but I'm not sure where."

"Oh." Ryan then said. "We should find a place to sleep tonight. Is there a town or village where we could crash?"

"Follow me, my friend," Ant said as he led the way. Ryan followed after the Dragon Force agent.


Azula was thinking. Others might call it plotting, or scheming, but she considered it merely… thinking. Her golden gaze wandered over to her companions, finally resting over to the sleeping form of Copycat. Her eyes narrowed and her lips tugged downwards in the slightest of frowns.

'From another world, hmm?' Azula mused. 'Her evidence is quite convincing… but no matter. What is important is that she's here now, ready to be used. Perhaps… too ready? Azula dispassionately reviewed the day's events, most especially what she had picked up of Kat's personality. After a moment, the princess shook her head. No. She sensed that Copycat would lie given the motivation to do so, but Azula's hunch was that Kat hadn't been lying when she'd said all she wanted to do was to go home. And Azula's hunches were usually correct in these cases. Moving on then…

'Her abilities are most formidable. Imagine… being able to copy not only the appearance, but also the skills of one's enemies.' Azula could think of many occasions where the former would be useful… and the latter even more so. For so long, the Nations had each been constrained to only one element, with the Avatar being the only one capable of mastering all four. With Copycat around though… Azula smirked, the light of war and power dancing in her eyes. Now, if only she could find a way to properly harness that power…

'Ty Lee seems very fond of her, and she too seems rather fond of Ty Lee… That could be quite useful. On the other hand, I don't believe whatever sentimentality they might share is yet strong enough to hold someone like Copycat around indefinitely. I'll need to find something else to bind her closer to me… something stronger. Until then, I'll just have to wait and watch. Let's see how she faces off against the Avatar and his friends. If nothing else, it might provide a gauge as to her exact level of power… and I might be able to detect flaws in her fighting style. After that, we'll see…

Azula smiled to herself, a cruel, predatory grin. Things were about to get very interesting…


(Morning…)

Draco was pretty much asleep as the fire had died out during the night. He was slowly awakened by the sound of splashing, very loud splashing. He yawned and slowly opened up his emerald green eyes. The sight that he would behold before him could be only described in one word, at least for him.

"Sugoi…"

Katara and Aang had gotten up to some early Waterbending training. Both of them were in the river and sparring, using complex and impressive martial art moves that astounded the young Dragon Knight. Not only that, the martial art moves were apparently making the water 'dance'.

It was like how he had done it with his powers back home just more profound.

Katara and Aang were blasting water at one another while moving their bodies in a fluid motion. Each punch and jab, the way they swung their arms and waved their hand, it all made the water work with them, like the water itself was an extension of their own bodies.

Now this was Bending!

"You're awake," spoke a young female voice and Ryuki turned to see Toph, sitting next to him.

"Ohayo, Toph-san!" Ryuki greeted.

"Morning," Toph greeted as well. "So, enjoying the show?"

"Hai, you?"

"Can't." Toph pointed to her eyes. "Blind, remember?"

Ryuki mentally slapped himself. "Gomenasai!"

Toph chuckled. "That's okay!" Ryuki smiled, relieved. "So, Katara and Aang are doing Waterbending training. What do you think? I can only hear the splashing."

"It's amazing, Toph-san. What I call Bending is nothing compared to this."

"Wait till you see me Earthbend," Toph said. "Then you can see what's so amazing."

"I'd like that." Ryuki looked around. "Where's Sokka-san?"

"He went hunting for breakfast but something tells me it might take awhile."

"Oh." Ryuki was then struck by inspiration. "Toph-san, why don't we have a little practice match of our own? I have the ability to manipulate the dirt so I would like to see how much I would fare against your Earthbending skills."

Toph grinned. "You're on. Don't cry when I beat you."

Ryuki grinned back. "I doubt I'll be the one crying, Toph-san."

Both Ryuki and Toph stood up. It was good that the clearing was wide so that they could spare at peace. Momo was perched on a tree and watching this in interest. Katara and Aang had stopped sparring. Obviously, they had heard Ryuki challenging Toph.

"Ryuki, wait!" Aang called out to him.

"What is it Aang-san?" Ryuki asked. When he had called Aang 'Avatar-sama', Aang had told him to not call him that. It was just too formal. He preferred to be called Aang by his friends.

"Toph is a very powerful Earthbender. Just because she's blind doesn't mean she's weak," Aang advised.

"I realize that, Aang-san, and I do not doubt her strength because of her blindness."

"Just be careful, Ryuki," Katara warned. "Toph can be pretty determined to beat an opponent down."

"Believe me, I know," Aang added.

Ryuki nodded and then pulled his goggles over his eyes. He tightened the not of his scarf and straightened his gloves. "Good, this just might get interesting." He smiled.

Toph and Ryuki faced one another and soon enough the fight had begun. DRyuki made the first move and stomped on the ground, sending a wave of earth headed for Toph. Toph redirected it back towards Draco but the young Dragon Knight leapt over it and charged at Toph. He swung his fists and Toph blocked with shields she erected from the ground. Ryuki smiled and then slammed his fist into the ground, causing the ground to erupt and sending Toph flying back.

"Toph!" Katara yelled. Toph was vulnerable in the air. She was relieved when Toph landed firmly on her two bare feet.

"You're good," Toph complimented.

"Arigatou. So are you," Ryuki returned.

With a yell, Toph summoned up chunks of the ground and sent them flying at Draco. Draco did not dodge them, but he punched them to pieces and the chunks shattered. Aang whistled. Draco then summoned up chunks of earth of his own and hurled them at Toph. Toph then called the earth to encase her in rocky armor. Ryuki blinked.

"That's new," he said, stunned.

Toph charged and rammed her rocky fist into his face, sending him crashing into the river. Ryuki shook his head to get the cobwebs out and saw Toph doing a series of complex moves that then hurled a few rocks at him like missiles. Ryuki, quickly, used his telekinesis to call the water around him and then used his ice powers to freeze the ice, encasing him in a makeshift barricade. The rocks smashed against the barrier and they pummeled it to oblivion.

Katara gasped and shouted to Toph, "TOPH! STOP!"

Toph did and the stone covering her body fell to the ground. Ryuki had disappeared.

"Heads up!" Draco called up and Aang and Katara saw him in the air. He then did several flips and landed back on the ground. Toph smiled.

"You're okay," Toph said, both relieved and impressed.

"I forgot that I could teleport. This time let's see you handle a different way of using your powers. Terra taught me how to do this!" Draco raised his arms and a chunk of rock rose up from the ground. Draco jumped on and flew towards Toph. Toph jumped out of the way in time when he heard Ryuki charging at her.

"That's amazing!" Aang said. "He's flying on the rock!"

Toph had to admit that was impressive. Even she couldn't do that with her Earthbending...yet.

Draco sat on the chunk of flying rock and smiled. He accessed the situation. Toph was a master Eartbender so she had more skills when it came to controlling the element of earth.

He watched as Toph performed several movements and sent rocks flying at him. Despite being blind, she could 'see' using Earthbending and since he was flying on a slab of rock, she could tell where he was, or at least where the slab was.

It was time for a change of strategy. He jumped off and charged at Toph. He predicted each place where Toph would attack with her Earthbending and dodged effortlessly with the help of his enhanced hearing, agility and reflexes. He continued to dodge and used his teleportation at the last second when a stone nearly hit his head. He reappeared and then got close to Toph and threw his fist. Aang and Katara's eyes widened as…

He poked Toph on the nose.

"Kawaii no Bishoujo," Ryuki smiled. This made Toph blush a bit. She had lost.

Sokka had returned. "Okay, I didn't catch anything," he said dejectedly. He then saw everyone standing around. "Oh, what did I miss?"

"You just missed an Earthbending match, Sokka," Katara answered. Sokka waved it off.

"You've seen it once you've seen it all," he said nonchalantly only to get a pebble n the head. "Hey!"

"Wasn't me," Toph said, rolling her eyes. Sokka growled.

"I think there are some fish in the river. Maybe we can catch a few for breakfast?" Ryuki suggested. They all nodded with agreement. Draco smiled before his eyes widened with shock. "Sokka-san! Look out!" Ryuki ran towards Sokka.

"What?!" Sokka responded with shock as Ryuki threw his arm forward and his hand caught a flying knife headed towards the back of Sokka's head. Sokka scrambled away. Aang and Katara recognized that knife.

"Oh, no!" Katara yelled out.

"Nani? What's wrong?" Ryuki asked.

"She's here!" Aang yelled.

"Who?" Ryuki asked again and then he ducked under a blast of blue fire.

"Well, Avatar, looks like we meet again," spoke a deceptively casual voice.

Aang and his friends (minus Ryuki) knew exactly who this was.

"Azula!" they all cried.

"Don't forget us!" Ty Lee gleefully jumped in. Next to her was Mai.

"Nice catch," the stoic girl said, revealing several more knives between her fingers. "Can you do that again?"

Ryuki automatically didn't like what was going on. However, it was about to get much worse as someone joined them. It was the last person he was expecting to see here.

"Ohayo, otouto-chan," spoke a cruel and sinister voice in what sounded like a purr. Aang, Sokka, Katara and Toph didn't recognize the fourth member of Azula's band but Ryuki did.

"Onee-chan!"

A/N: Ant and Ryan have arrived and now Azula has found Aang and his friends. Will Ryuki reveal his fire powers to his new friends or fight without them? Also, what else do you want happen?
