When I looked up to the sky, the fireball was making it's decent to the snow-covered ground. And I saw Aang and Katara in the distance. The children of the village ran up to him, happy for his return. Sokka said,
"I knew it! You're leading the Fire Nation directly to us!"
"Aang, didn't do anything, it was just an accident." Katara said, defending Aang, who then said,
"Exactly, we were on the ship, and there was this booby trap and we...boobied right into it. "
"Katara, you know you shouldn't have gone on that ship in the first we're all in danger." Gran Gran said.
"It's not Katara's fault, it's mine. I brought her there." Aang looked like he was very sorry for what he did.
'At least he shows that he sincerely apologizes. If Sokka wasn't so thick-headed, he would see that. But then again, he did set off a signal that puts us all in grave danger.'
"The traitor confesses to his crimes! Warriors away from the enemy, his hereby banished from our village." Katara said,
"Sokka, you're making a mistake!"
"No, I'm keeping my promise to dad. I'm protecting you and (Name) from any threats like him." Sokka said, pointing at Aang.
"But Aang isn't our enemy! Aang brought us something that we haven't had in a long time...fun."
"We can't fight the Fire Nation with fun!" Soka shouted.
"Maybe you should try it sometime." Aang chirped in.
"Leave our village now!"
"Grandmother, please don't let Sokka do this."
"You knew going on that ship was forbidden, I'm afraid Aang has to go."
"(Name)?" Katara said, looking towards me.
"Katara, even if I did say anything, the rest of the village wouldn't agree,not counting the children of course."
"Fine, then I'm banished too, come on Aang!" Katara grabbed Aang's hand and stormed through the snow, to Appa.
"Katara, where do you think you're going?!"
"We're going to the North Pole, Aang is going to find me a waterbender." Katara said with her voice cracking with each word.
"Katara, are really going to leave your tribe, your family for him?" Katara stopped dead in her tracks. Aang told her something and they exchanged words, then he got on Appa.
"Let's see your bison fly now, air boy."
"Come on Appa, yip, yip!" The gigantic beast only stood, earning a,
"Yeah, I thought so!" From, who would've guessed it, Sokka. Then one of the kids from tribe ran out and said,
"Aang, please don't leave I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too, but I have to go. Come on boy." With that Appa turned walking off in the snow.
"Are you happy now? There goes (Name)'s and I's last chance to become real waterbenders."
"Katara, wait!" I said following her.
~~~Time Skip!~~~
I was calming Katara down, until I felt the ground shaking beneath me.
"What's that?" Katara and I stepped out only to be greeted with the sight of a Fire Nation ship driving right through our ice, with Sokka standing right in front of it.
"Sokka! You idiot! Get out of there now!" I yelled. Luckily, the wall broke and the snow pushed him back. Then a door came down,and a boy clad in Fire Nation armor, followed by Fire Nation soldiers, stepped out. While he was walking down the many steps, Sokka tried to attack him, but failed miserably. I got a better look of him as he walked closer to the crowd, he wasn't bad-looking. But one thing bugged me,
'Where did he get that scar from?'
But oddly enough, it kind of suited him. But you stood tall as his golden eyes scanned the crowd...
~~~Zuko's POV~~~
I glanced at all of the faces in the crowd, but stopped when I saw a girl with (h/l), (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes and (s/c) skin. She was looking directly at me, not even looking away when our eyes met.
'Interesting...'
Everything was silent until I finally said,
"Where are you hiding him?" The girl that I was just staring at said,
"Um, I have no idea who you're talking about."
~~~(Name)'s POV~~~
Of course I said something, I'm not exactly the 'Cowardly Girl Who Follows Your Every Command' type. I speak when I feel is necessary. Katara and I were holding onto Gran Gran's arms. Then, the Fire Nation boy extended a hand towards us, Katara flinched, but he grabbed Gran Gran and held her up by her hood. Then he said,
"He's around this age, master of all four elements." Then he pushed her back into Katara's arms.
"Hey!" I said walking right up to him, jabbing a finger in his chest.
"I don't know who you think you are but no one disrespects my family." I was glaring straight into his soul. Then he threw fire at me.
"I don't care! I know you're hiding him!"
Then Sokka came up from behind only to fall into the snow, again. The newfound hated Fire Nation boy shot fire at him, causing your fists to ball in anger.
'Oh how I want to kick him in his-'
"Show no fear!"
Then one of Sokka's little warriors threw a spear at him, and Sokka charged and failed, again. But, his boomerang came back around and hit the Fire Nation boy in the head. I, of course, started laughing as quietly as possible. Out of nowhere, Aang came gliding down, riding a penguin, and swooped Fire Nation boy off his feet. Earning cheers from the little kids, and a laugh from me. The penguin pushed Aang off, and waddled away.
"Hey, Katara, (Name), and Sokka."
"Hi Aang...Thanks for coming..." Sokka sounded defeated.
'Looks like Sokka owes someone an apology...'
Aang turned around and faced Fire Nation boy, getting in a fighting stance. Then the guards started to close in on him. He used airbending to shove snow into their faces. Then the scarred boy said,
"You're the airbender? You're the Avatar?!"
"No way..." Sokka muttered under his breath.
"I've spent years training for this moment...and you're just a child!"
"And you're just a teenager..."
The Fire Nation stranger shot flames at him, Aang blocked them quickly. But the kids of the village screamed in terror when the flame came close to their faces. Aang stopped and said.
"If I go with you, will you leave these people alone?"
The firebender nodded, and started walking towards his ship yelling,
"Head for the Fire Nation!"
As the heavy metal door closed, Katara had tears in her eyes, just as the door shut, Aang's small sad smile turned into a frown.
~~~Time Skip!~~~
A little while after Aang left with Fire Nation boy, Katara kept rambling on and on about how we should rescue Aang.
"Sokka, I know you don't like Aang that much but-"
"Katara!" Sokka and I shouted, gaining her attention.
"Are you gonna keep talking?" I asked.
"Or are you coming with us?" Sokka said.
"Aw, guys!" Katara gave us a big hug.
"Now let's go save Katara's boyfriend!"
"He's not my-"
"Yeah, sure whatever you say."
"What do you three think you're doing?"
'Uh-oh...Gran Gran...We're doomed...'
"You'll need these. You all have a long journey ahead." She said with a smile and handed us our sleeping mats.
All three of us exchanged surprised looks, as Gran Gran said,
"It's been a long time since I've had hope, thanks to my little waterbenders. And my brave warrior, be nice to your sisters. Aang is the Avatar, the world's only chance. Now your destinies are now intertwined with his."
"But there is no way we're catching a war ship with a canoe."
Then a deep growl was heard from the distance.
"Appa!" Katara and I shouted, eager to ride the beast once more.
"You both love taking me out of my comfort zone..."
~~~Time Skip!~~~
We were slowly making our way, with Appa slowly floating along the icy water, Sokka was randomly calling commands that usually make an animal fly, sarcastically of course.
"Come on Appa, Aang needs you." Katara said.
"I know you can fly, just try."
"What did that kid say?" I heard Sokka mutter in the back, then he said,
"Yip, yip." Appa took of to the skies, with Sokka screaming 'He's flying he's really flying!' then sat back down when Katara and I looked at him with 'I told you so faces, then he sat down saying, 'Big deal...'
'Fire Nation ship, here we come!'
Meanwhile on the Fire Nation ship...
~~~Aang's POV~~~
As I was running through the halls I ran into three Fire Nation soldiers.
'Maybe they know where my staff is...'
"Have any of you seen my staff?" No answer.
I just sped through them and ran down the hall saying,
"Thanks anyway!" Then, I ran into another soldier.
When he shot fire at me, jumped over and used his conveniently sharp helmet to cut the rope bonding my hands. Then I opened a bunch of doors hoping to find my staff, but I opened a door to someone taking a nap.
"Sorry." I whispered before I closed the metal door, as gentle as I could. Then I ran past an open door, and I saw my staff. I ran in, but the door closed behind me.
'Uh oh.'
~~~Time Skip! (Name)'s POV~~~
Appa made a loud growl-like sound as we came closer to the ship. Aang looked happy, but Fire Nation boy looked confused. Fire Nation boy kept shooting fire at Aang until he fell into the ice cold water.
"Aang! No!" Katara shouted, and she kept calling his name, getting louder and louder each time. Suddenly, Aang shot up in a huge water-tornado, but his eyes were white and they were glowing. He landed on the deck of the ship, spun the mass of water in a circle around and spread it outwards hitting all of the people standing around him, and sending Fire Nation boy into the water, which I highly appreciate.
"Did you see that?!" Katara said, astounded.
"I sure did." I said, wide-eyed.
"Now that is some waterbending!" Sokka said. When we landed Aang was on the ground, we all went over to him, and he groggily said,
"I dropped my staff."
"I'll get it!" I said, running over to where the said staff laid. When I picked it up, a hand grabbed it, specifically, the Fire Nation boy's hand. Using the staff I jabbed him in his face until he lost his grip. As he fell back into the water I shouted,
"That's for the Water Tribe and my Gran Gran!" After I froze all of the remaining soldiers, also accidentaly freezing Sokka's feet, we took off on Appa. As we were flying away, Fire Nation boy and an old man shot a fire ball at us. Aang used airbending to send it flying into a huge block of ice above the ship. The ice block broke. sending the pieces right on top of the small ship.
'No, he did not just do that! I love this kid!'
"Aang, I now worship you." I said, as we all flew away laughing.
'Fire Nation boy, the game is on, catch us if you can.'
~~~Zuko's POV~~~
"Good news for the Fire Nation, their greatest threat is a kid." Uncle said.
"That kid, just did all of this." I said, gesturing to the snow-covered ship.
"I won't underestimate him again. Dig the ship out and follow them." And I turned to see some soldiers thawing out the few who were frozen by who I assume, the (e/c) eyed Water Tribe girl.
"After you're done with that..."
'I will capture the Avatar is it is the last thing I do.'
