Day Of Black Sun: Zuko's Past Chapter 4
"Yip Yip," I yelled.
Arrrggghhh, why didn't I do anything. I could have done something while Zuko was talking. I failed again like I did in Ba Sing Sa. Why can't I do it, I've failed again. I've failed my friends and the world.
Even if I did beat Ozai, I don't think I could do it. How could I? The monks told me all life was sacred and not to harm it. I've never used force unless I had to. Even if Ozai is pure evil, I don't think I can take away a life like that.
But one good thing did come out of it, I got a firebending teacher, Zuko. I hope he can be a good teacher, and I can do it well. If I lost control of fire like I did last time and it hurt someone. I frowned at the memory of it. If I hurt Katara or anyone else like that I would never forgive myself.
Eventually, Sokka and Toph started to wake up.
"UHHH, what happened?" Toph groaned.
"Ozai knocked you both out, I had to get you out of there," Aang said.
"Thats why I feel so hot," Sokka groaned, "Ozai hits pretty hard."
"Besides Twinkletoes, how did you get away from Ozai?" Toph questioned.
"Well, you see after you both got knocked out, Zu-"
"What the.." Sokka said.
I looked and saw the hot air balloons and blimps. We were shocked, they probably stole the designs from The Mechanist.
Appa landed right in front of Katara, I gave Katara a depressing expression.
"We found Ozai, but the eclipse was over. We almost died," Sokka said, "We just gotta get to the beach as fast as we can, if we get to the submarines maybe we can get away."
"They've got air power, but so do I," I yelled, "I'm going to do what I can to slow them down." I then flew of.
"Appa, you and I can help to," Katara said while flying off with me.
"Everyone, let's get back to the beach," Sokka yelled and Sokka, Toph, and the rest of the invasion force ran off.
Katara and I then went to go hold up the Fire Nation. We easily took out the hot air balloons. But the blimps had too much fire power.
"We can't keep them all back, there are to many of them," Katara yelled.
"Lets joined the others," I replied while dodging fire balls.
We then joined up with the others. But the blimps were over us and open there hatches.
"Take cover, I think were about to see some bombs," Sokka yelled.
They bombed us but we were in cover so we were okay.
"Why aren't they turning around to attack us again?" Katara questioned.
"There headed for the beach," I said, "Wait, there gonna destroy the submarines!"
"How are we all gonna escape," Sokka asked.
"We're not," Hakoda said seriously.
"Then are only choice is to stand and fight, we have the Avatar, we can still win," said Sokka.
"I don't think thats a good idea Sokka, we should come up with a plan so we could win later" I said, thinking of Zuko and the whole firebending teaching thing.
"I agree with Aang, you kids have to escape on Appa together, it's the only way to keep hope alive," Hakoda said.
"What, we won't leave you behind, we won't leave anyone behind," insisted Katara.
"It's the only way to win in the long run, you and Sokka have to go with Aang." Hakoda responded.
"The youngest of our group should go with you, the adults of our group will stay here and surrender," Bato added,"We'll be prisoners, but we'll all survive."
"There at the beach already," Sokka yelled.
The group at the submarines tried to stop the bombs, but it was a vain effort as there was to many. All the submarines were in ruin. Everyone then said there goodbye's before I said my final speech.
"Thank you all for being so brave and so strong, I'm going to make this up to you." I said before we all got on Appa and flew off.
"I know just the place we'll go were well be safe for a while," I said," The Western Air Temple."
We may have lost this day, but I'll be back to take on Ozai. And I'll know firebending from Zuko and I'll take him down.
But there is the problem, how will Zuko find us on foot and without a boat. Wait, those balloons, he could probably take one and use to find us.
I looked back to see if he was behind us, I saw nothing until out from under a cloud there was a little red speck in the air. Zuko.
Sorry it took so long again, school's almost ending and finals are coming up but in summer when I'm not busy I'll be writing (:
