Previously on changing the world: Zhao heads to the Northern water tribe, Naruto and Sasuke actually make it there plus everything about Sai, Pakku, and Katara is revealed as well as solved. That's it...
Small note: I wanted to call it Lightninggenerators or Lightning generators but that didn't suit too well. If you think Lightningbender isn't accurate, then I will change it by popular demand.
Pakku bowed down to Naruto. "The great Yellow Lightning...I thought...you were killed."
Sai skeptically looked at Naruto. "You can generate and bend lightning? And you're from the Lightning country?"
"What're you even saying?" Naruto asked. "I'm a firebender from the Fire Nation."
"You are the worst firebender I've ever seen." Sasuke remarked.
Pakku cleared his throat a bit. "That's right. You are son of Namikaze Minato, the great Yellow Lightning, he was the greatest lightningbender in the world."
"..."
"What does all this mean?" Aang cut in. "He can't possibly be a lightingbender."
Pakku looked up at Naruto. "Your dad was born in the Lightning country. Your mother in the Fire Nation. I'm not sure why he left but it was probably for your mother. Then they had you...then they mysteriously died."
"The thing is boy, you posses strength and power beyond compare. You are a legend."
Suddenly gray 'snow' started falling down, Naruto held out his hand. "It's the Fire Nation."
"...Naruto...shouldn't you like the Fire Nation?" Sai asked.
"...what? Like it?"
"You are from the Fire Nation. Shouldn't you be hurting us?"
"Not when the Fire Nation already hurt so many people."
Pakku pointed to the blown out wall. "We don't have time for this. We need to find the chief now!"
The group ran off, leaving mixed feelings behind. As the group ran to the main gathering hall, sounds of several beating drums rung through their ears. At the main gathering hall Cheif Arnook stood before them, his saddened expression gave the citizens stress.
"Citizens of the Northern water tribe, war against the Fire Nation is upon us."
Naruto clenched his fist in anger after that statement. (...Am I protecting what's trying to destroy them...?)
Cheif Arnook tightly squeezed the sides of the ice podium. "...and sadly...the people you know and love will be brutally...killed."
Cheif Arnook continued. "Please moon and ocean spirits, give us power, hope, and the will to fight against the Fire Nation! Now who will volunteer first?"
Silence.
Finally Sokka stood up despite what Katara said, he walked over to Cheif Arnook and got his mark. As Sokka walked back to his seat, Yue looked at him...then she turned her head back, too much pain.
Naruto started to raise his hand as well but then he stopped himself. (But...my mom was born in the Fire Nation...I would only disrespect her.)
"You! Throw the blonde kid in jail! He's Fire Nation!" Chief Arnook pointed out.
Two guards took Naruto. "Wait! Cheif Arnook-" Pakku stopped himself. (Why would I care for a dirty ash maker?)
Without anyone stopping them, Naruto got sent to jail and at some point he would get sentence to death. There Naruto laid on the ice cold floor of the jail cell, alone. "Is this the treatment I get for being Fire born? Maybe I should've joined the Fire Nation army, I mean my original goal was to capture the avatar."
"But I didn't. I had the perfect chance right when I first met him."
"So what am I suppose to do? I can't even tell anymore..."
*CLANG*
"You got your self locked up Naruto." Sasuke picked up the fallen keys and unlocked the door.
"Sasuke...than-...bah! Took you long enough!"
Sasuke untied Naruto. "You are such a dumbass."
"Shut up duck-butt!"
Sasuke smirked and turned around. "Whatever. Now let's go."
Naruto smiled. "Yeah okay!"
Naruto got up and followed Sasuke, there was just something about Sasuke that Naruto couldn't help but smile about. Naruto put his hands behind his head. (...I have to show you...how strong I can get! I am...no weakling!)
When they finally got out of the prison chambers it was silent. All of a sudden there was a loud crash making Naruto and Sasuke fall back onto the icy ground. Naruto picked Sasuke up. "We need some cover until the first line is finished. We'll attack during the second."
Naruto ran into the nearest house he could find. Inside there was a girl sleeping on the couch.
*BAM*
A smaller fire ball lodged in her house making her house catch on fire. Naruto picked up the girl. "Sasuke! Lightning now!" The fire ball exploded due to the electricity build up and they all left the house, burning up in flames.
Naruto set her down. "Are you...okay?"
The girl's face turned bright red as she slowly nodded. Sasuke walked up in front of them. "Bring her to the hospital, Naruto. We'll wait until night to attack."
Naruto nodded, he picked her up and ran off to find the nearest hospital. The girl eye's were barely open, who was this guy who saved her life? (...Naruto? He saved...my life...)
Sasuke stood there for a bit then started to walk off. (Hm...where now...)
"Sasuke..."
Sasuke turned around. "Oh it's just you. Sai is it? What do you want?"
"Chief Arnook wishes for your appearance."
Warrior barracks...
The plan was to disguise themselves as Fire Nation soldiers and infiltrate the ship. Easy enough. As night approached their plan was about to be put into action.
"You're Sokka aren't you? You're the person who critiqued my tailoring work..."
Sokka turned around to meet a blue-haired, glasses wearing guy with sharp, sharp teeth. "Yep! That's me! And you're..."
He shifted his glasses slightly. "Chōjūrō. Pleasure to meet anyone affiliated with the avatar."
"Oh really? Should I tell you my many heroic adventures with him?"
Chōjūrō wrapped up an odd looking sword. "Um no thanks...are you interested in...Princess Yue?"
"..."
"It's okay if you are, she's a really beautiful girl but I'm you know...engaged to her."
"...you...?"
Cheif Arnook walked in. "Sokka. You are relased from the mission."
"..."
Naruto...
Naruto swung open the door to the hospital. "She needs help right now!" Naruto yelled.
One of the healers ran over to them. "Condition?"
Naruto softly squeezed her. Thankfully the warmth of his body kept her from getting a cold. (Heh...it's funny. I feel so close to a person I've never met...I just wonder who she is...) "She's alive but her breathing is very slow."
"We'll take her in." The healer turned her head to an assistant. "Get Haruno Sakura now!"
Naruto bowed down. "Arigato. Take care of her please." He then ran off to find Sasuke.
The thin ice cracked under Naruto's feet as he took off to find his friend. It was already early night, the moon was almost full. "Sasuke!" Naruto ran up to an empty row of houses. Naruto picked a strand of raven hair.
"Sasuke is gone."
"Are you guys in some sort of relationship?" Sai asked as he walked up to the spiky blonde. "I understand, it's all apart of youth."
"SHUT THE HELL UP! I hate Sasuke-baka!"
"Whatever you say. The avatar is just ahead, Sasuke is with them I think and...whenever you get the chance you should leave the Northern water tribe as soon as possible."
"Why do I have to leave?"
"...Just as a warning. They're done dangerous criminals I've encountered...one of them no one can even come close to...just be careful okay."
"Yeah I will but...you don't have to worry about me. I can hold my own ground." Naruto then ran off to the direction Sai told him to go.
Aang...
Having successfully reached the spirit world, Aang was in a deep meditative state on a beautiful small patch of lush green grass. Along with a pool of water containing two fish just beyond him. Sasuke watched Aang for a bit then looked to Katara. "The Fire Nation is coming on land...think you can take care of him? I have to find a certain someone."
"Of course I can!"
"Are you sure? Should I get help?" Yue added.
"As long as I'm here she doesn't really need help." Sasuke looked around. "Hm, looks like I'm leaving. Everything seems fine." Sasuke walked off.
(Perfect! He left...) Zuko watched Sasuke leave.
Katara looked back to Aang. "It's okay...I'll protect you Aang with my life."
"Even against me?" Zuko appeared right in front of Katara. Yue ran off in search of help while Katara faced Zuko.
Zuko shot a blast of fire, Katara dodged it then extended her arms out, water surrounded both her arms. She froze one arm then ran up to Zuko. "You've gotten better I see..." Zulu sad.
"Because I've learned from a great teacher!"
Zuko extended his own arm out and blaze of fire shot from his fist. Katara held the frozen whip in front of her body, reflecting the incoming fire blast. Next she slapped her other water whip on Zuko, drenching him in water.
Katara squeezed her hand to a fist making the water freeze, encasing Zuko in ice. That's when the sun finally started to rise. Zuko melted the ice away with his free hands and shot a blast of fire at her.
Katara dodged the fire only to get knocked out by Zuko. "You may rise with the moon, but I rise with the sun." Zuko picked up Aang then ran off.
Already the second line of the Fire Nation was coming into play, troops were rushing into the scene. Zhao smirked, standing at the helm of the ship. "Today the Northern water tribe falls."
Elsewhere...
"So what have you found out?"
"The Fire Nation seems to be advancing to the north, at least from what he's told me."
"And the Lightning country?"
"...pacifist as always but from what I've heard the Uchiha clan plans to make a move...do you think there'll be a revolt?"
"No such thing will happen to what's left of the Uchiha. My brother is merely helping the avatar."
"Oh yes for now until the Lightning country plans to use him as an ultimate weapon."
"...speaking from you. The avatar isn't anyone's weapon, the Amerteratsu shrine is meant just for the avatar to meditate. Not for the use as any weapon."
"Whatever you say. As if any avatar wants to back to there after the incident."
"...that was mere centuries ago."
Northern water tribe...
"...are you awake?"
Katara blinked opened her eyes, Sai was just over her head along with Sokka and Yue on Appa. "Where's...Aang?" Katara swung her head to the pool of water. "...I...failed."
"Zuko stole Aang, get on. We're leaving." Sokka said, clenching the rope thing in anger.
Sai picked up Katara. "Are you okay, ugly?"
"..." Sai set her back on the oasis grass. "I'll take care of her, save the avatar!"
Sokka grimly nodded. "Yip-yip."
Naruto, right when they left, finally made it to the tranquil garden. "What?! Sai...where's the avatar?!"
Sasuke walked up to Naruto. "Wrong. They're probably out searching for the avatar, I think someone attacked them the second after I left. Very smart tactic."
"It was probably Zuko, the banished Fire Nation prince."
"Then I'll just fight whoever is the captain of the Fire Nation myself, Naruto, watch the fish and those two." Sasuke ran off once again.
Zuko...
As Aang was still in a meditative state, Zuko decided to tell him his worries and troubles of being related to Azula, his younger sister he was always envious of. The cold winter air, blew in, putting the fire out. "...my father even told me, Azula was born lucky while I was lucky to be born." Zuko clenched his fist in utter anger.
"I can't stand Azula! Always perfect in every single way possible!"
Aang suddenly sat up, his tattoos blue once more. "Zuko." Aang bender a blast of air, sending Zuko flying out of the cave.
Appa landed just outside of the cave with Yue and Sokka on board. "Aang lets go!" Sokka ushered.
"Wait...hand me a rope."
Sokka threw Aang a rope and Aang tied Zuko up. He picked Zuko up and set him on Appa. "I won't let you die. Even if you are the enemy."
"Yip-yip!"
Northern water tribe oasis...
Naruto was sitting by the pond when suddenly two Fire Nation soldiers jumped up and attacked up. "Bastards! Let go of me!"
"TIE HIM UP!"
The soldiers tied Naruto up and threw him to the side. Zhao picked up the white koi making the sky go red. Katara got her self up. "I won't let you kill it!"
Katara threw herself at Zhao making him fall. Zhao pushed Katara away and got himself up, he reached for a spear.
"THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS YOU DAMN BRAT!" Zhao then thrusted the spear at Katara.
Aang...
Yue's heart sank, her entire body felt so weak suddenly. "...I feel so faint."
Aang weakly nodded his head in agreement. "I feel the same." Aang brought Appa down to the spirit oasis.
Yue looked up at the moon. "Aang...you see I owe my life to the moon. To those fish, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be alive today. It just hurts me so much people would destroy those two fish..."
The oasis...
Tears dropped down from Katara's face all the way to the icy ground. "Sai...why did you..."
Sai turned to Katara and smiled for real. "Because Katara...you are more than just my friend." Sai took out the spear lodged into his body and fell down. "And I'm sorry for all those times I've called you ugly because in reality..."
"...You're beautiful."
"Sai...please...don't go! I can't let two people die!"
"Thank you for everything Katara."
Tesrs dropped onto Sai's face. "I thought maybe we could...no it was just a dream. Sai..."
Zhao crazy laughed and held up the white koi. Suddenly a bolt of yellow lightning flashed at Zhao chest.. Naruto stood before him with his two fingers fizzing and smoke coming from it.
"I hate dirty scum like you." Naruto said. "Don't you feel any remorse?"
"I don't feel anything for dirty water savages and you shouldn't either!"
"Why should I when you and I are two completely different people."
Zhao suddenly grabbed onto his chest and coughed up some blood, Momo landed on his head and pulled his hair. "Get off of me! Get off of me now!" Momo flew next to Aang who finally appeared to help.
"Please don't kill it. You will not only affect the Water tribe but the entire world." Aang pleaded.
Zhao crazy laughed. "I will never give up this fish. I will give my life for the Fire Nation!"
Iroh came as well. "Drop it now Zhao! Whatever you do to the fish I will ten times as much to you." Iroh warned.
Zhao dropped the fish into the water then killed it. Iroh knocked out all the troops and sent a powerful blast of fire to Zhao, Zhao jumped up and escaped the fire. Zhao was gone basically. Naruto picked up the dead white fish.
"The fish is...dead."
"No! All hope is lost. It's over." Yue cried
Aang got into avatar state. "No. It's not over." Aang fell into the pond and merged with the remaing of the ocean spirit. Creating a giant blue fish monster.
Zhao however was trying to escape the city. "You know you aren't about to leave." Sasuke said, standing right in front of Zhao. Sasuke held out his two fingers. "I won't allow it."
Before the two could fight, Zhao fell down, clenching his chest. Sasuke let his arm down. "Are younhaving a...heart attack?"
Yue walked over to the pond and picked up the white koi. "I'm sorry Sokka, for causing you so much pain." Yue transfered her spirit to the white koi making her body fall down.
Sokka tightly held onto Yue's body, only for it to disappear. Spirit Yue drifted from the water, her lips locked onto Sokka's. "Sokka. I will love you, always." Then she disappeared and became the new moon.
La put Aang down on the outer wall and walked back to the oasis to rejoin with Tui. In a quick moment, Sasuke watched La pull Zhao into spirit world, where he would suffer for all eternity.
The next day...morning...
Pakku placed a small gift on Sai's grave. "Sai...everything I've ever said, I truly regret. Thank you Sai...my son." Pakku stood up and went over to the avatar who was departing.
"Everyone, I plan to go to the south and help our sister nation." Pakku handed Aang a water bending scroll. "Although learning from a scroll is good, nothing is in substitute from learning by a true master."
Aang faced Sasuke. "Sasuke, it would be an honor for you to come with us and teach me the art of lightning. I'll be the first avatar to know all five elements. I also always wanted to see the Lightning country myself."
"And I want to come too. I have to know about my past...I want to know about my family." Naruto added.
"Of course!"
Naruto and Sasuke boarded Appa then they flew off, the girl Naruto saved from before ran up to the docks with a bouquet of flowers in her hand but it was too late. The flowers dropped onto the ground. "Please come back...Naruto-kun..."
The Fire Nation...
Ozai clenched the arms of his throne after hearing the news on the recent attack on the north. Azula walked in along with another person, she bowed down. "Azula. You along with your comrade is tasked to not only capture Aang but also capture Uzumaki Naruto."
"Is that why this terrorist is coming with me?" Azula slyly asked.
"Stop calling me a terrorist, princess. You should be lucky I haven't bombed this place yet, hm."
"Will you shut up?! Father...why do I have to catpture...Naruto?"
"Because my daughter, Naruto mustn't know about the world outside of the Fire Nation."
A/N: This chapter was pretty heavy and to be honest not one of my best, I know that and it's miraculous how Naruto knows lightning when he can barely fire bend. Questions will be answered eventually...
Guest person: Yes I know, I was off this chapter, I couldn't really find the right tone. I've went through two drafts for this story so I do proof read. I promise there won't be any more plot lines like this or anything in the second book.
