"Katara!" Aang ran up to her and engulfed her in a hug, she didn't remember him, but hugged back because she knew it's what old Katara would have done.

"Oh thank god you remember! I thought I'd lost you forever." Aang cried. Katara looked at Sokka and Zuko for advice. Sokka motioned to just keep pretending, there was no need to upset Aang, especially if he went into his avatar state.

"Yeah, it's nice." Katara hesitantly replied.

"So when will we continue training?" Aang asked. Katara's eyes widened.

"Actually Aang," Zuko interrupted. "Sokka is going to be your water bending teacher from now on. Katara is still really week from the change and she needs her rest."

"Fine." Aang pouted. Toph came up and huffed in annoyance.

"That was a really dumb move you pulled there." She pointed to Zuko and Sokka. "You could've at least told us where you were going. And where is Suki? And I'd assume Ty Lee would be here since Mai is." Ty Lee remarked.

The gang hung there heads in silence. Sokka lead Mai to his bedchamber so they could cry in peace and Katara put her head down in shame.

"Whoa, what did I say?" Ty Lee asked.

"Ty Lee is dead. Burnt to a crisp by Azula. Don't make us explain now." Zuko took Katara's hand not caring about Aang and lead her to their bedchamber.

In Sokka's room Mai curled into a ball on the floor and let her tears flow free. Sokka was so numb that he couldn't breathe. Pressure had settled into his heart and he could barely breathe. He had finally found a girl he thought he might love and she was taken from him. He would avenge her though. He was going to be the one to kill Azula. Sokka's thoughts soon became dreams, and he had the most important dream of his life.

"You fool!" The firelord spat at Azula.

"I'm sorry father. But the parchment is missing, with all it's instructions and they've gotten away." Azula hung her head down.

"I'd rather have Zuko as a son then you as a daughter." Azula's eyes widened.

"Please Father-"

"SILENCE! And from now on you address me as firelord Ozei." Azula shed a tear but that was all. "Take her to the dungeons, I have no use for her anymore." The firelord refused to look at her.

"No use for me anymore? What are you saying? That the only reason you pretended to love me for so long was so I could do your dirty work for you? I killed innocent people to please you? I hurt people, destroyed towns, torn families apart, for you, when you didn't even LOVE ME? Do you think I WANTED to do that or I shared your BELIEF in doing any of that! No I did it to please you but now I'm done pleasing you! FINISHED!" Azula screeched. She kicked both guards in the head knocking them unconscious. She aimed her lightning at her father, and sent it flying at him. He blocked it with a wall of fire.

"How. Dare. You." He sent lightning from both hands flying at Azula. A younger guard around Azula's age had walked in and saw what was happening. His eyes widened and ran in front of the princess taking the blows of the lightning. Azula's eyes widened as the young man lay in front of her, not moving. She could feel the energy the fire inside of him still pulsing and she knew he wasn't dead, at least not yet. She narrowed her eyes at her father and sent a massive fireball of fire and lightning aimed for him. He didn't defend himself in time and was knocked unconscious by the blow. Azula picked the young man up and ran out of the castle. She knew she had to find the avatar and his gang before they got away. She saw the large air bisen about to take off. She ran and jumped on it's tail she held the young man in one hand and clutched the fur of the bisen's hand with the other.

Sokka awoke with a start. He saw Mai on the floor sleeping and shivering. He picked her up and placed in her in the bed covering her. He would go to Katara's room, assuming Katara and Zuko were sleeping in the same room. Sokka ran outside to Appa, praying his dream was just that a dream. But one look at the moon and he knew it wasn't. A new moon meant that water benders would have insightful dreams. He ran to Appa and found the young man and Azula sound asleep. He shook his head and pushed Azula off of Appa. She awoke with a start and stood up.

"What are you doing here?" Sokka seethed.

"Where is my brother?" She asked.

"I refuse to tell you that. Answer my question or I'll kill you." Sokka said.

Azula motioned towards the young man. "He'll die if he isn't healed. Please help him." Azula begged. Sokka's eyes widened.

"You kill my girlfriend, and my mother and expect me to heal a firenation guard? You're a fool." Azula winced at his words, she knew that there was nothing she could say to him to convince him that her intentions where pure.

"Take me to the avatar, I know a way to take away my firebending, and his and you can take me as your prisoner. Maybe then you'll believe me."

"Are you joking? I'm not letting you get within a thousand feet of Aang, you'll try to kill him!" Sokka screamed. He summoned all the water he could muster and sent it flying at Azula. It encircled her arms, legs and covered her mouth. He freezed so much that it was dry ice and it was seering her skin. She tried to scream but she couldn't open her mouth. She tried to make fire and melt the ice but she was in to much pain. She fell to the ground. Sokka leaned down and stared at her.

"You killed Ty Lee, now it's your turn." Sokka knew that the ice would torture her and then he would kill her.

"Sokka no!" Aang ran up to him. "This isn't the way! Melt the ice of of her mouth and let her speak! She may be sincere and if she is I will take away her firebending and send her back to the firelord let him do what he will to her. But I will not let you kill her. It's against my morals." Sadly Sokka knew he had to obey the avatar. He melted her mouth and she spoke to Aang.

"Find my fire pulse, it is what drives bending. If you surround it with enough air it will die out and I will no longer have bending. No oxygen, no fire." She cried.

"Zuko!" Aang yelled. A few minutes later Zuko came running. "No time to explain just tell me where her fire pulse is!" Aang yelled. Zuko put his hands on her stomach until he felt the pulse under his hands. He pointed to the spot and Aang sent air in to her through her nose and moved it until Zuko told him he had found the spot. Azula screamed in pain as the air put out her fire pulse. Aang released the air and she crumbled into a ball in the ground. Sokka melted her dry ice chains and she sat on the ground curled in a ball crying. She pointed to the young guard and sputtered out the words help him. Aang knew that what the young man did was noble, as Sokka explained his dream. Aang lifted the man up through the air and dropped him in the fountain. Aang put his hands in the fountain and the water started glowing. The young man was healed in minutes and shot up from the water. Aang knew he was to weak to fight. But even so he put him in ice chains. The young man saw Azula crumpled on the ground.

"What did you do to her?" He asked more for curiosity reasons than actually caring.

"Doesn't matter follow me." Aang pushed the young man into one of the rooms. Sokka took a look at Azula. She let out screams once in a while. He continued to stare at her. He was about to walk away when he heard his name faintly being called. He looked to see Azula leaning against Appa.

"What?" He seethed.

"Same thing... for Katara..." She managed to get out. He walked over to her.

"What?" He asked more gently but venom still swam through his voice.

"Katara fire to water... find pulse... destroy fire... replace with water..."
