Okay, so yeah I know I've completely failed at regularly updating this. I do not think I will be regularly updating this.

BUT I will not be stopping this until I have book 4 finished. I will upload chapter, hopefully at least one a month. However my style will be slightly different. I'm going to keep it very similar to the original story line, but there will be no other story lines except for Aang's. I also probably will not be getting the dialogue as close.

And I think by now you just want to read and not listen to me ramble, so without further adieu, I hope you enjoy, chapter 16!

"...twinkle toes?"

"Hello Toph. Or Melon lord, if you prefer." The others looked very confused at Aang.

"So your really back then?"

"Yes." Aang said, nodding.

Then both of them lost it, and ran to each other in a bone crushing hug. It had been a long time.

"Your really back." Toph said, stepping back.

"Yes I am, thanks to Jinora and Korra. We're still not sure how it happened exactly, but It's a good thing. Without it the past avatar's spirits may have been lost."

"So what happens now?" Korra asked, turning to Aang.

"Kuvira is going to try to take over the rest of the Earth kingdom. I'm going to stop her. We're going to stop her."

"I thought you were..." Jinora trailed off.

"I was a fool to trust her. She isn't a leader, she's a dictator. So I'm afraid we don't have much time for you to recuperate Korra. The world needs the avatar-both of them. We have to go."

"I know."

Then, as they were getting to leave, Aang turned back to Toph as the other were getting on the sky bison.
"We'll see each other again Toph. I promise."

"I know twinkle toes."

"Are you sure we should be going to Zaufu?" Jinora asked Korra. They were all sitting on Jinora's sky bison, as Appa knew to stay close to them. "Dad wanted us to bring you back to republic city."

"That's where Kuvira will be though." Aang said.

Korra nodded"And if that's where Kuvira will be, that's were we're going. She needs to know that the avatars are back."

"The world needs to know."

"WHOO-HOO!" Meelo said, standing up. "Avatar fight! This is going to be awesome!"

"Meelo, there's not going to be a fight if we can avoid it." Aang said. "I might not be very happy with her, but we're not going to fight her."

"Kuvira saved my dad." Korra added. "She was a captain in Su's guard. I think she can be reasoned with."

"...I hope." Aang added.

"What?!" Meelo demanded. "No fight? Why did we got trough all this trouble to save you if your not going to beat someone up?"

"Because being an avatar isn't all about the fighting."

They arrived at Zaofu to see a disturbing sight.

It was surrounded by Kuvira's army.

Su was happy to see them, that was for sure.

Aang remembered what had really started this. The power vacuum in the earth kingdom, with no one left to take charge. Several people had suggested Aang, he had adamantly refused. Su hadn't wanted to either, for much of the same reasons. And Kuvira had taken it upon herself.

And he had thought that as the Avatar, he should be helping her to restore order, restore balance. But this wasn't balance.

"We have some unexpected guests." Said a very strained voice, of a very strained man. Kuvira's fiance hadn't been exactly happy to see Aang. "The avatars are here to see you."

Kuvira swallowed, hard. She nodded to some of her soldiers, and turned to face them. "Korra, it's such an honor to see you again. The last I heard you were still healing in the south pole. And Aang..."

"Don't even try. I know I was only let into the camp because you don't want to publicly attack me. I won't fall for your lies again Kuvira. This isn't right."

"I fail to grasp you meaning Aang. Last I remember, we were working together."

"Kuvira, leave Zaufu alone. Back down. Please."

"Please, take your army, and leave." Korra added.

"I think we all know that's not going to happen." Kuvira said, her stare intensifying.

"We can't let you take Zaufu." Korra said firmly.

"We won't."

"Look, I was tasked with bringing stability, order, balance, to the Earth Kingdom. Zaofu is part of that kingdom."

"Zaofu will not become part of your dictatorship Kuvira." Aang said, stepping slightly forward. "This is where I draw the line in the sand."

"Why should I treat Zaofu any different to the other states?"

"What you are doing isn't right." Korra said.

"I understand you two are just trying to do a favor for Su, but you can't come to me as I'm on the verge of reuniting my nation, and tell me to stop. The world was descending into chaos here while you were gone Korra. In order to fix it, I had to make some hard decisions."

"We know what it's like to have to make hard decisions." Korra added on. "We've had plenty of people mad at me about decisions we've made."

"Exactly" Said Kuvira, walking forward to Korra. "Korra if you really want to help, go back to Su and try to talk some sense into her."

"I was here." Aang said. "And this isn't how it should be. I really don't want this come to violence Kuvira. I don't want to have to fight you."

"Let's call a temporary truce." Kuvira said. "I won't make any moves, until you both talk to her and get back to me."

"Maybe that will be for the best." Korra said.

They came into a run into the gardens of Zaofu to see Baatar pacing.

"Where's Su?" Aang asked. "We have to talk to her."
"She's not here." Baatar said."She took Wing and Wei. There going to sneak into Kuvira's camp and put an end to all this."

"No." Korra and Aang said together.

So yeah. Hope you enjoyed this. Please review if you did, and constructive criticism is always welcome. I might actually even right another chapter today, I just don't know. When I do right chapters they might come out in pairs of two or three so yeah.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and as always I hope you have a good day,
