Gyatso and Kara: Prodigies of an Avatar

Chapter 41- Black Mamba

"MAMA!" Kuzon muffled voice yelled as an unknown character pulled him away from his hiding spot in the arena. Holding on to the blazing hot seats that he and the group had previously sat on for dear life, hot tears ran from his dark gray eyes down the child's red cheeks. He shook his head, trying to get the kidnapper's hands off of his face, to no avail.

"Shut up," The kidnapper whispered, moving in so close that her lips blew hot air on his ear. ". . . And you won't get hurt."

Kuzon rolled his eyes over to the woman that attacked him. Her right hand was firmly placed on his mouth to keep him from speaking, while her left arm wrapped around his waist to keep her in control of his body.

"Little boy," She whispered as he struggled against her hold. "If you don't stop it, I'll have to make you stop the hard way. Which is it: easy or hard?"

The boy answered by rocking his head back to hit his captor's face, who had bent down to keep him in her grip. She grunted, slightly falling backwards, but kept her hand squeezed on both Kuzon's mouth and stomach. He moaned as she dug her nails into him-he could feel his skin rip under the force.

"I guess that it's the hard way, little Avatar." The woman grunted before she stood up and threw him over her shoulder. Before the boy could scream for help, she hit one of his pressure points, knocking him temporarily unconscious. She set off for the exit of the base, for she knew that Kuzon would be awake within twenty minutes.

Her feet bounced quickly on the dirt, careful not to make a sound-she barely breathed through her nose. Her long black ponytail swayed from her shoulders to her waist as she ran with the little boy on her body. She didn't worry as she saw Dai Li agents cascaded all around her, passed out or bleeding; she was a master at fire and lightning-bending, though she opted to use the kunai or dao when she had time to take them out. Either way, the girl knew that she could take on any foe after eighteen years of extensive training.

She slipped through the door out of the arena and into the main house without a sound. Without even checking to see if anyone was watching her, the girl ran out of the base to see Appa standing before her. His big dark eyes flickered to the unconscious Kuzon and flared. His calm nature was nowhere to be seen. The air-bison charged for the kidnapper, head-butting her in the stomach. She fell in pain, while Appa caught Kuzon by sliding his front paw forward to give him a soft landing.

"No!" The kidnapper screamed, anger and frustration showing in her golden eyes. She jumped up, despite the extreme pain that she felt when she moved, and ran for Appa. Yanking Kuzon off of his paw, she threw the boy once again over her arm and tried to evade the giant before her. Before she could get away from the bison, he head-butted her once more, almost knocking her out in the process.

Looking up from the ground that she was pushed on, the girl coughed up dark red blood. She wiped the blood off of her lips, spit out what was left in her mouth, and struggled to her knees. By that time, Kuzon had blinked awake and was climbing up Appa's leg to his back. Before the kidnapper could move anymore, "yip-yip" escaped Kuzon's lips, and the bison was in the air, flying in the direction of the arena.

"Crap." The kidnapper whispered, collapsing on the ground. She closed her eyes and pushed her long black bangs to the top of her head in despair.

"Mom is gonna kill me when I get home. . ."

Yes, It's been a long time, yet again, thanks to writer's block, but I have new inspiration. I know that this chapter was ridiculously short, but I just needed to introduce a new character. Don't worry, her name is not Black Mamba (or Kiddo for that matter, Kill Bill fans). I do have a name in mind, though. It's not too creative, so I kind of want to hear what you guys want this new character to be named. Oh, and does anybody have any ideas of who her mother is?

Here's a hint: She was born lucky, while somebody close to her (bloodwise) was said to be lucky to be born. . . hmm. . . (watch your Avatar: TLA eps to find out!)

I'll be back soon, God willing.

God Bless,
