A/N: HI! This is the chapter where the action starts. And hearts are somewhat broken...*wink wink*

please review. I promise there will be more Zutara, but I kind of have set the story and everything, please wait.

P.S PLEASE REVIEW. The reviews are what makes me want to continue. Also, I have a question, should I bring in Taang?


Chapter 4- Attack

"Prince Zuko, all the battle stations are ready and so are the men. We can proceed with the attack." His General said with his same monotone voice but a slight eagerness.

" Attack."


Katara turned away from the boy who had just proclaimed her love for her. Why doesn't it feel right? Why doesn't he feel right? You have been through everything with him, right? What's wrong with you Katara. GET A GRIP.

" Katara?" his voice sounded hurt.

How am I supposed to put this without hurting him? Do I say yes or no? Seriously Universe. She felt like Sokka for blaming the Universe. I guess the connection with the universe runs in the breaths Katara. " Jet. I don't know."

" What do you mean?'

"Well... You see right now things are though. The fire nation will attack us any day, and I have teach and protect the avatar, and I can't let my tribe fall. You were always there for me, and I needed you a lot." His eyes were deepening with every word she said. " But right now, I have bigger problems and issues to deal with rather than my relationships. Does it make sense." She sighed exhaustively. Wow telling a guy not now takes a lot of energy. "What I am trying to say is that I can't be with you right now. Until this war ends, I need to be focused. We will still be friends and everything, same old, but... But I don't have love for you right now."

Jet looked as if he had been punched in the gut. " I guess that makes sense. And its your life Katara. You get to choose." He regained his old mischievous face. "Well, lets do kick some fire nation prince butt." Katara smiled. He took that well. whew!

One of the guards came running towards them as them exited the pavilion. He was sweaty and nervous. His eyes wide like the full moon.

"Princess Katara, Princess Katara. The fire nation attacked."

BANG! Yep, those are the canons.


"Aang, it's best if we go to the Spirit oasis. There maybe you can meditate and it is inland so there isn't much of a chance of the fire nation coming." Katara said. Aang turned to the girl. She was dressed in all black. She wore loose pants and boots that came up to her knees. She had a black long sleeved tunic on that was fit, making her curves prominent. She had a blue cloth that was tied around her waist like a belt. Aang felt his face flush.

" Um. What's that for?" He asked looking at the black cloth in her hand.

" Oh. This?" She looked down at the cloth and Aang nodded. " This is just incase someone attacks. Our father wants all of us to wear these, so that our identity will be a secret from the fire nation." Right then, Jet Suki and Sokka came out and took a mask from Katara and tied it around the heads, only revealing their eyes and forehead. She passed the last mask to him. "We don't want fir nation to know how the avatar looks. I guess the arrows give it away." Katara thought for a moment and walked toward Aang. She took the cloth from him and quickly wrapped it around his head. "There." She looked pleased with her work as she stepped back. Then she did her own mask. Now, her eyes shone bright blue with the black mask. Aang and Jet had the same face on at the moment. Amazement, her eyes were so pretty.

" Let's go." Sokka's was serious and commanding. "Fire nation, you messed with the wrong tribe."


It was gruesome. His team was advancing, but as they got closer, a tsunami from a dozen waterbenders would push them back. They most likely have the avatar somewhere safe inland. Zuko turned to his battle team, luckily it didn't include Azula who was in charge of attacking the southern shore. "I am going by myself. Advance forward. Do Not Retreat. DO NOT FOLLOW ME. Am I clear?"

"Yes Sir."

"Then Move."

Zuko moved to the back of the force, he had to get through that gate. Every gate has to have a blind side right? Zuko saw his chance. He took the coat of a fallen water tribe warrior and stealthy made his way to the gate. All the guards located on the top of the gate seemed to be busy shooting spears at his men. He took two daggers from his side and thrust it into the ice. He began to climb using the daggers for support. The prince finally reached the top. No one noticed the arrival of this unknown water tribe man, or it seemed like a water tribe man. He ran toward the other side of the gate. Lets Go. Freefall. Down into the cold water surrounding the gate. But before he hit the water, he pulled out the daggers and thrusted it into the ice again. The daggers slowed him down and his feet barely touched the water before he stopped. No splash! He jumped and landed perfectly on the ice. All of a sudden, a glowing tunnel of light shot up into the air.

The Avatar... That's my cue.
