Sozin's Comet Part 1

"Come on scream like a lion turtle!" Zuko was commanding Aang, who could not scare a fly.

"ROAR!" Aang yelled making his feeble attempt from before better. Zuko nodded in approval.

"Better, but-" Zuko was cut off by Katara.

"Who wants watermelon juice? (*1*)" Katara said holding out a cup to Aang who tried running at it. Zuko grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back.

"You're not done training." Zuko said aggressively pulling him back.

"Aw, lighten up Zuko. I think I know what we should have!" Sokka said jumping up pointing one finger into the sky. "A BEACH PARTY!" everyone cheered in agreement, completely ignoring Zuko's voice of reason.

Katara; surfing the waves with the wind in her hair felt perfectly calm. A sanctuary in the sea where she felt she could be forever away from life's troubles, but with no such luck. When she had come back to shore everyone was in a worried frenzy. "What happened?" She asked.

"Zuko went crazy and destroyed my sand sculpture of Suki..." He paused for a second. Toph screamed a little frustrated.

"HE'S ALSO ATTACKING AANG! Katara help me!" Toph said running to shore, fear in her usually stern voice. Katara nodded chasing after her with some sea water.

"Come on! Is that all you got!" Zuko yelled from the house. That's when he was launched out of the house roof. Toph then hit him with a stone, after feeling the tree shake with him in it.

"Ouch, what the heck!" he screamed when he hit the ground with a loud thump.

"What the heck's with use, what the heck's with you!" Toph screamed trying to hit him again, Katara holding her back.

"What's wrong with me! I'm training Aang on sneak attacks, preparing him for the comet while you're having a beach party!" He yelled angrily. Everyone went silent. "What?" He still asked angrily.

"We we're planning to wait after the comet to attack the Fire Lord." Aang said.

"What? I can't believe it. I knew I should have told you..." Zuko said more to himself.

"What?" Katara asked taking a step forward.

"My father had invited me to a war meeting, I sat at his right hand as he told everyone of his plans to destroy the Earth Kingdom. He plans to use the enhanced power of the comet to burn the fire nation to the ground." He said.

"Well, THAT would have been helpful." Toph was the first person to speak Aang was shocked.

"Still planning to kill the Fire Lord before the comet is over." Aang shook his head no.

"Well, looks like we're getting the band back together!" Sokka shouted cheerfully. "Air, water, earth, fire." He said pointing at everyone when he said there nation. He paused and grabbed Suki handing her multiple leaves that look like a fan. He also grabbed a long leaf that looked like a sword and continued. "Fan and sword!" The leaf sword slumped down.

"Alright, Aang know that you won't have to do this alone." Katara said, getting everyone into a group hug. "You too, Zuko." Sh said pointing out that Zuko wasn't there. He walked tentatively forward and into the group. That's when Appa jumped on them crushing them all.


"Alright Zuko and Katara, you two will run up the left side while Suki and I will run up the center leaving plenty of room for Aang to come in on the right side and BLAM!" Sokka said crossing out the target circle. "Killing the Melon Lord."

"What about me?" Toph asked annoyed.

"You are the Melon Lord's army." Sokka said.

"So I get to throw flaming rocks at you guys? SWEET!" Toph fist pumped.


"MUHAHAHAHAHA(*2*) I AM THE MELON LORD!" Toph laughed maniacally as everyone was in their places. She first sent people on Zuko and Katara taken down easily with their backs to each other, making Zuko smirk.

"What was that for?" Katara asked killing another rock soldier.

"I just find it funny we make a good team." He said kicking the head off one that was about to take down Katara making her glare. She continued to run up the hill. "NO THANK YOU!" He yelled at her sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"TOPH THAT ALMOST HIT ME!" He heard Sokka yell out in annoyance.

"WHO IS THIS TOPH YOU SPEAK OF? I AM THE MELON LORD!" Toph yelled.

Great, she's gone insane, is what Zuko thought after hearing her laugh again. They continued running though and he saw Aang leaping at the Melon Lord, but he stopped.

"Aang, by now you would be dead! Why didn't you finish him off?" Sokka asked annoyed. Aang did not reply so Sokka cut the head off of the Melon Lord causing it to make a splat sound as it hit the ground. Aang cringed as Toph put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.


"LOOK!" Katara screamed. "ZUKO AS A BABY!" Everyone but Zuko and Aang laughed. "Jeez you could lighten up." Katara said putting down that poster.

"That's not me... that's my Father." Zuko said calmly getting a disgusted face from everyone.

"But... he looks so innocent..." Katara said.

"Well that innocent baby turned into an evil man." Zuko said.

"Well, he wasn't evil as a child." Aang said.

"Are you actually defending him?" He asked annoyance dripping from his voice.

"No! But, everyone has a chance... don't they?" Aang said.

"You're going to have to kill this man-"

"I don't want to. Don't pretend you know how I feel about this, killing someone goes against everything I believe in. If you can come up with an alternative way for me to defeat the Fire Lord I'd love to hear it!" Aang yelled walking out.

"Aang..." Katara said as she went to go comfort Aang with Toph, but Zuko grabbed Katara by the hand and pushed back Toph.

"He needs some time alone." Zuko said going to sit down. Katara nodded and sat down with him followed by Toph.


Aang walked down to the beach, as if something was calling him to the Island he saw in front of him. He swam out to see, with nothing but momo and fell asleep on the island.

The island began to swim away.

1)Don't hate me if it's not watermelon juice! I don't feel like looking it up!

2) If I laughed like Toph is there I would break down into a coughing fit and fall down the hill, please review if you would do the same thing.
