Chapter 8

Meeting the Fire Lord

The group was chained and assembled together as they waited in a room. Then a man came.

Man: All hail Fire Lord Zuko the XXV!

Kero: The 25th?

Man: Silence! His Majesty approaches!

Then Zuko came into the room with 2 guards on both of his sides.

Zuko: Well, well, well. If it isn't the Avatar

Kero: It's Avatars. There are 3 of us present.

Zuko: Shut up! I don't care if there are a million avatars! What's important is that I captured you. Like my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather tried to, Zuko Sr.!

Aang: Why have there been 25 others named Zuko?

Zuko: When the avatar disappeared again, Zuko went back to the Fire nation and took his entire family hostage because of his impatience and rage.

Katara: That's so heartless!

Zuko: But what happened was that his father was for some reason impressed. He gave the throne to Zuko, but he put the rest of his family in prison, except for his uncle Iroh.

Lana: Why?

Zuko: Some people said he went to the spirit world, others say he found a secret island where he had followers and made a temple. But I think he died alone and mad. Anyway, then Zuko gained control of Sozenn's comet took over the whole world, and because of this great deed, all his descendants were named after him.

Aang: Why have you brought us here?

Zuko: To get answers! The Monks say there are suppose to be 4 avatars! They are supposed to be the same age. Where's the last Avatar?

Kero: We don't know.

Zuko: Liar! If you won't tell me, I'll kill one of you Avatars. Maybe the girl.

Lana: Gasp!

Kero: Why? You should get the strongest of the group; I already mastered 2 of the 4 elements.

Zuko: Very well. Guards! Take him to the tower!

Aang/Lana: No!

Kero: Well, it's been fun. Good luck you guys.

Then Kero was in the highest tower, there were 12 different ones.

Zuko: What elements do you know?

Kero: Thinking in head: Hmm, maybe if I lie, he'll put me in a tower that I'll be able to escape easily.

Kero: I know waterbending and firebending.

Zuko: Good. Put him in the tower made of rocks and surrounded by all the elite soldiers and make it so he is not able to see any water or near anything flammable.

Later that night, Kero began to meditate. He was able to enter the spirit world. He walked around and found all the avatars in one giant hall. He walked into the center of the hall and began to speak.

Kero: Avatars! You must help me and the rest of the avatars on earth! You must come with me back to the human world. There you must take over bodies so you can control it to help us face the fire lord!

: No!

Avatar from Air Nation 900 B.C.: Who said that?

Iroh: I did!

Kero: You're Iroh!

Iroh: Yes I have been in deep meditation after my nephew took over the world. My body is still perfectly preserved over this past 2500 years. I froze myself like the avatar did.

Kero: Why don't you want us to fight together?

Iroh: Because. Over the years, the fire nation has done much research and has been able to make a soldier's mind sharper and more focused. If any spirit were to enter the mind of a soldier, it could die from the stress the mind will use to attack the intruder.

Kero: I see.

Iroh: But you will still not be alone even if it's just you young avatars.

Kero: How?

Iroh: Each avatar has a special mode called the Avatar State. It's when all avatars dead or alive combine their powers in the current avatars.

Kero: I heard of it. But Aang has told me while he was still in the past that he could only trigger it while in immense anger and rage. It's also dangerous because he said that if we die in the avatar state, the rest of the avatars die and we will become extinct.

Iroh: Then you must find a way to fight the fire lord.

Avatar Roku: Don't worry, you will find a way.

Then Kero went back into the human world and escaped during the night while the guards have fallen asleep. He first went to every cell to find Meyumi. Then after twelve hours of searching and half of that time he was lost, he finally found Meyumi, but she was unconscious, so Kero carried her all the way to Appa's cell. After he freed Appa, he was able to find the others and escape.

Aang: So this is Meyumi?

Lana: Yup.

Kero: She's unconscious. We need to find somewhere to go.

Lana: How about the eastern water tribe?

Katara: Eastern?

Kero: Yea. The eastern water tribe is on a small island off the coast of Japan.

Sokka: So what are we waiting for? Let's go!

That is chapter 8. Sorry this took so long. My computer keeps breaking! So let's be a lesson to all. Never buy cool looking comps. On eBay, because even though they have many advance features, they are still junky sort of.
