He is not one of us

At dawn the next morning, Jet walked outside the palace. "Okay I have to tell her today. Where do I start? Will, Nerissa had a plot, I was a part of it, but I don't want to be, it's because…it's because I love you!" He sighed. "She'll never believe me, but I've gotta try."

Jet walked backed inside and saw Will walking up to him. "Hey Jet!" She greeted with a huge smile.

"Will I need to talk to you," Jet said.

Zuko suddenly walked over to them. "Will I don't want you talking with him!" Will gave her father an angry look. Zuko then looked at his daughter with a smirk. "I want to talk with him."

Will smiled and Jet looked surprised. Zuko winked at his daughter and he and Jet walked out into the fields of the fire nation, while looked after them with a big smile on her face.

"Will?" Taranee asked, coming next to her daughter.

"I think dad is starting to warm up to Jet," Will said. "Don't you think mom?"

Taranee smiled. 'I see Zuko took my advice,' She thought. Then she gently took her daughter by the arm and led her back into the palace.

Out in the fields, Zuko and Jet were walking where the fire had happened a couple days ago. "Ozai couldn't let go of his hate and in the end it destroyed him," Zuko explained.

"I've never heard the story of Ozai that way," Jet said. "He truly was a killer."

Zuko looked around at the wasteland they were standing in. "Fire is a killer. Sometimes what's left behind can grow better then the generation before," As he said this Zuko brushed aside from ash to reveal a small plant. "If given the chance."

A few seconds of silence passed before an evil chuckle was heard. Jet gasped, knowing who's laugh it was. He and Zuko looked around and saw rouge fire benders slowly closing in on them.

"No, no, no, no," Jet said softly.

Nerissa then walked up, with Mai and Uriah on either side of her. "Why Zuko," She said.

"Nerissa," Zuko snarled.

"What are you doing out here and so alone?" Nerissa asked with an evil smirk. Then she turned to her son, a proud look on her face. "Well done Jet, just like we always planned."

Zuko glared at Jet angrily. "You!"

"No I didn't have anything to do with this!" Jet cried.

"Attack!" Nerissa cried.

"No!" Jet shouted. He tried to help Zuko, but was knocked to the side and hit his head. As he dodged the fire balls sent at him, Zuko slipped down into a ravine. The rouges followed after him.

"Yes! We've got him!" Nerissa cried. Then she turned to her followers. "Remember your training. As a unit!" She cried.

As Zuko ran through the canyon he came to a huge pile of logs. He started to climb in an attempt to get away. Jet stood on a ledge above him.

"Zuko!" He cried.

"Get him, Jet!" Nerissa ordered her son. "Do it now!" Her eyes widened in shock and anger when Jet did nothing.

Uriah jumped forward. "I'll do it for you mother!" He cried. The man started to climb after Zuko. "I'm doing it for and I'm doing it for me!" He muttered with an evil smile. Just as Zuko reached the top, Uriah grabbed his ankle. "This is my moment of glory!" Uriah cried.

Suddenly the log Uriah was standing on broke, making him let go of Zuko and causing him to fall.

"No!" Nerissa cried, watching her eldest son fall. Beside her mother, Mai's eyes widened in shock as her brother fell.

Uriah ended up getting stuck under a log. As he tried to get out, Zuko reached the top of the ledge and suddenly more logs fell toward Uriah and landed on top of him. Jet ran down and started moving logs away to get to his brother. Nerissa shoved him aside and moved the last of the logs and saw the inured Uriah.

"Uriah," Nerissa gasped.

"I'm sorry mother," Uriah chocked out. "I tried."

"Shhh," Nerissa said, placing a hand under her sons head. Uriah took in one more breath and then his head went limp in Nerissa's hand. Nerissa breathing became labored, when she saw the Uriah was dead.

Mai walked up beside her mother and looked down at her dead brother. "Uriah," She whispered. Then she hung her head in sadness.

Will, Cornelia, Irma, and Sokka were walking through the fields when they saw Zuko limping nearby.

"Dad? Dad!" Will cried. "Cornelia get help!"

"Yes of course!" Cornelia cried, running off immediately toward the palace.

Will, Irma, and Sokka ran up to Zuko.

"Zuko dude, what the heck happened?!" Sokka cried.

"Jet…ambush…"Zuko cried, before falling to the ground.

Will shook her head slowly. "No," She whispered, not believing Jet would cause an ambush on her father.

"It's okay buddy, we're here for you," Irma said, as she and Sokka put Zuko's arms around their shoulders and helped him get back to the palace.

Meanwhile, all the rouges had bowed their heads in sadness over Uriah's death. "Ozai, watch for my poor Uriah," Nerissa said. Then she turned to Jet fury written all over her face. "You!" She screamed. She took out a small knife and slashed Jet's face with it, leaving a thin cut on his face.

"What have you done?!" Nerissa cried.

"I-I-I didn't mean to, it-it-it wasn't my fault I," Jet stuttered, then said forcefully. "I did NOTHING!"

"Exactly!" Nerissa exclaimed. "And in doing so you betrayed your family, betrayed Ozai!"

"I want nothing more to do with him!" Jet cried.

"You cannot escape it! Uriah is dead because of you!" His mother cried.

"No!" Jet said.

"You've killed your own brother!" Nerissa cried.

"No!" Jet yelled, running off.

The rouges started to follow him, but Nerissa stopped them. "Let him go! Zuko has hurt me for the last time! Now he was corrupted Jet! Listen to me, Zuko is inured and weak. We will take his entire kingdom by force!" Nerissa cried.

The rouges started cheering while Nerissa laughed evilly, thinking of her revenge.

Back at the palace, Zuko was recovering do his wife and daughter's care, while the fire nation citizens were standing below the balcony the royal family was standing on with Irma and Sokka.

"Dad it can't be true!" Will insisted.

Suddenly everyone looked and saw Jet walking through the crowd.

"What's he doing here?" Toph sneered.

"I can't believe he'd show his face!"Katara gasped.

"That's Jet!" Haru said.

"Jet!" Will cried, with a smile. She started to leave, but her father stopped her.

"That's the outsider!" Kurt whispered.

"That little trouble maker!" Clubber exclaimed.

Irma growled and started to make her way toward Jet. "Why I outta! Let me at him! Let me at him!" She cried.

Sokka grabbed his wife around the waist. "Easy Irma!" He said.

Irma continued to struggle. "I'm gonna mess that little brat up so bad, Nerissa won't be able to recognize him!" She tried to break free of her husband's hold, but he was too strong and held her back.

Zuko walked to the edge of the balcony and glared down at Jet. "Why have you come back?" He asked.

"Zuko, I had nothing to do with-" Jet started.

"You don't belong here!" Zuko snapped.

"Please, I ask your forgiveness!" Jet begged.

"Father, please! Just listen to him!" Will pleaded.

"Silence!" Zuko shouted at his daughter. Then he turned back to Jet. "When you first came here you asked for judgment and I pass it now!"

Jet's eyes widened in alarm and Will's breathing came in quick pants as her heart started beating faster in fear. Taranee stood beside her daughter looking on in shock as he place her hands on her daughter's shoulders.

"Exile!" Zuko cried.

"NO!" Will screamed.

Jet looked around as the crowd started to stamp their feet and glared at him.

"No!" Will cried. "Jet!"

Some of the crowd started to gang up and Jet and he ran off.

Deception

Disgrace

Evil is plain as the scar on his face

Deception(an outrage)

Disgrace(for shame)

He asked for trouble the moment he came.

Water benders starting send water whips at Jet and he dodged running faster.

Deception(an outrage)

Evil is plain as the scar on his face

See ya later alligator

Deception (an outrage)

Disgrace(for shame)

He asked for trouble the moment he came

See ya later alligator

Zuko watched Jet run away as air benders flew down and started sending large blast of air at him.

Born in greed

Raised in hate

Helpless to defy his fate

Let him run

Let him live

But do not forgive what we cannot forgive

And he is not one of us

He has never been one of us

Will started to leave after Jet, but Irma and Sokka grabbed her arms preventing her from doing so.

He is not one of us

No, no, no

Jet was hounded away from the palace and as he ran he came to a small river. When he looked at the water, Jet's reflection turned into Ozai's. Horrified, Jet ran off.

Someone once lied to us

Now we're not so blind

For we knew he'd do what he's done

And we know that he's never been on us

He is not one of us

Jet sadly looked back at the palace, where Will was, but he knew he had to leave and never come back.

Deception

Disgrace

Will started to cry as she watched Jet leave and her mother wrapped her arms around her daughter.

Deception

Disgrace

Deception

Hay Lin and Aang stood on a rock and watched Jet leave. "Oh man!" Hay Lin groaned.

"This is bad," Aang muttered.

They both looked at each other and shook their heads. Zuko had totally just messed up the plan of peace they had and now things weren't looking so good.
