AN: So here is the next chapter of Carry on My Wayward Son, and let me just say it is a real doozy of a chapter. That being said it was a real pain in the arse to write so I hope you all enjoy it, and I would also just like to say thank you for all of the support you've been given. I know I've not answered some of the questions asked of me, but that is because I don't want to ruin the surprise for you. That being said if you really want to know I will tell you.

Other than that I hope you all enjoy and keep the reviews coming. My current aim is to get this story to the top of the Percy Jackson/ Last Airbender crossover section.

Thanks for reading.

(Last Time)

"What do you think? I need to capture the Avatar, my honour depends on it!" Zuko replied harshly, his mind moving back to how he had first come across the Airbender in the South Pole and had even captured him, only to be thwarted when the kid proved himself far cannier than his age would suggest.

"Very well then." Iroh replied with a nod and a sigh.

"Good, I will go and tell the captain." Zuko replied firmly, before he made to leave the room.

"Are you going to finish your food?" Iroh called after his nephew as he saw he was about to leave, leaving behind his steaming fresh fish as he did so.

"Yes! I was saving it for later!" Zuko snapped back, grabbing his plate of food before he stormed out of the cabin.

"Aww," Iroh grumbled as he watched his nephew disappear around the corner with his meal.

Chapter 5

(With Percy, on Kyoshi Island)

Throwing his fishing line out to sea, a satisfied smile spread across Percy's face as he saw his weighted hook land in the water a dozen or so feet away, his hands tightening around the leather bound grip of the simple wooden fishing rod he had in his hands.

Percy absentmindedly sitting down as he did so, content to wait for either the bait, a nice wiggly worm, or the lure, a glimmering silver coin, one of the hexagonal ones with a hole through it that were commonly used in the Earth Kingdom, to get him his first bite of the day.

Sure a part of him knew he could use his abilities to drag a whole shoal of fish from the sea if he wanted, but that was work, and this was fun. After all he wasn't planning on keeping the fish or eating it, or really even hurting it, instead he was planning on letting it go, as for him this was all about the chase. It was the contentedness of sitting around waiting for a bite, then reeling it in, and battling against his catch as he dragged it in.

Plus he might get an interesting conversation out of it, though it was more likely he would just get cursed out as the fish of this world weren't' exactly fond of him. After all they didn't see him as the son of a Sea God or as some Lord of all things aquatic, instead they thought he was some spiritual abomination, a usurper to the Spirit of the Ocean, and they were very rude about it too.

Still Percy wasn't' easily offended, no he had grown somewhat of a thick skin living at Camp Half Blood, and dealing with Suki's day to day teasing. Though that was something he didn't mind, after all she had taught him a lot about this world and about its cultures over the years, and had also become a very good friend.

Letting out satisfied sigh at that, Percy reached over and grabbed a mug of ale from beside him, pretty happy at the moment, though that was in part because the damn 'Avatar' and his gaggle of fangirls were over near the Unagi Bay and far away from him. Which meant he didn't have to listen to a chorus of shrieking and shouting, of course the Kyoshi Warriors on patrol around the coast would have to, but meh.

Either way the group would be leaving soon, as he had seen the girl, Katara, getting there provisions together and packing their sky bison's saddle. Not that he had talked to her much, as she was still annoyed that he had refused to teach her or the 'Avatar' any Waterbending.

Draining the last dregs of his ale, Percy looked out over the sea, the smile on his face widening as he felt the cool ocean breeze brushing his face, before with another slight smile he looked back in the direction of the village, which he could still see in the distance further down the coast from him.

It was as he was doing this however that the smile on his face suddenly became fixed, before it slid off into one of concern.

After all as he looked out over the ocean in that direction, he could see a large, iron hulled boat rapidly approaching the village. The large ship giving off a distinctly dangerous vibe with the cloud of black smoke it was releasing from its coal powered engines, and the ominous spikes it had protruding from its prow. It was a Fire Nation battleship, a small one, but one which was flying the red flag, and black, flame like crest of the Fire Nation, and was approaching his village.

Standing up, his fishing rod forgotten for the moment, Percy's expression began to harden as he heard the gongs coming from the village, a warning of an impending attack, even as the battleship picked up the pace, the plume of dirty, black smoke growing larger as it entered the cove and closed in on the village.

Somehow Percy didn't think this ship was coming to the village to either resupply or, trade.

With that thought in mind Percy threw himself into the sea, the water gladly accepting him as he plunged through its depths, before with barely a thought he propelled himself in the direction of the village, leaving a metre high wake behind him as he rose from the water, a sword of ice now in his hand and his face furrowed into one of intense worry and anger, as he shot towards the village and the Fire Nation battleship, his expression becoming even harsher when he saw the ship hit the docks and its gangplank get lowered.

"Bastards!" Percy snarled, not sure himself whether he was talking about the Fire Nation troops who were invading his home, or the 'Avatar' and his group who had lingered on the island and lured the Fire Nation to their doorstep. Though realistically, he was probably more annoyed with the invaders.

Rapidly gliding through the water, Percy was able to see as a number of monstrous, rhino like creatures left the ship, each one holding two men on their back, one of whom was obviously a Firebender, as a few moments after the rhino like creatures started moving, one of the men on their backs started hurling fire about, setting the docks and the nearby houses a flame, and sending the villagers and dock workers fleeing for their lives.

There were about twenty or so soldiers in total from what Percy could see, as well as however many were still on board the ship.

Unfortunately though at least ten of those in the village were trained Firebenders, and all of them were trained soldiers, which instantly put the lightly armoured and untested Kyoshi Warriors in a bad positon.

Or at least it would have done if Percy were not here, because by the time the rhino riders had disembarked the ship and entered the village proper and begun their attack, Percy had just about reached the Fire Nation ship, the sea around him growing wilder and angrier as he did so.

Without a sound the furious Percy struck the ship on the bow, a colossal twelve foot wave rising out of the sea as he did so and striking the ship on its broadside.

This in turn made the entire ship list as water swept over the side, Percy following along with it as he leapt aboard the ship, his left arm morphing into a scythe like blade of ice, whilst he tightened his grip around the sword of ice in his other hand, his green eyes practically glowing as he landed on the deck of the rocking ship.

A snarl soon spread across his face as he saw about half a dozen men on board, all of them wearing sets of red armour with bronze inlay, their heads covered in open faced helms and each of them carrying a long spears in their hands.

Before a single word could be said amongst the assembled group, Percy was amongst them, sure footed, even as the others were staggering around on the deck, expressions of shock and surprise spreading across their faces as they saw that an enemy was already amongst them. Only this one wasn't an untrained villager, but a warrior in his prime.

With that thought in mind, Percy struck out at the surrounding men, his first strike impaling his sword through one of the spearmen's throats, without a hint of hesitation, before he turned around and ripped it out in a spray of blood, after which he slashed out with his left arm, the ice like scythe sheering through the haft of another man's spear and his arm, before it then effectively disembowelled him.

"Hyah!" Percy shouted as he twisted around again, batting a spear away from him, before he lunged forward and rammed his sword into the weak spot in the man's arm, his armpit, piercing his heart in an instant.

Twisting around again, Percy then morphed the ice on his left arm into something reminiscent of a cannon, before he unleashed a barrage of small ice spikes from it, cutting down two more men and sending them collapsing to the deck either dead or dying.

Dragging his foot along the deck of the ship, a look of intense concentration then spread across Percy's face as he quickly began to manipulate the water beneath the ship, his eyes still on the last spear man, who looked terrified as he backed away from Percy and the remains of his comrades.

"You shouldn't have come here." Percy said simply, before he stamped his foot on the metal deck and caused the water beneath the ship to freeze, before it lifted the entire mental hull out of the water, metal bending and warping as the water seeped into the joints, froze and then expanded. Until soon enough the front end of the ship was entirely out of the water its hull buckling and breaking in places as a large spike of ice forced its way through the middle of it.

"Oh Agni!" The last spear man cried as he slipped down the now uneven deck, the spear falling out of his hand as he scrambled desperately for purchase, only for his hands to scrape on the metal deck futilely as he slid down it, gaining speed as he did so, before he left the deck and struck the bridge, his bones breaking as he bounced off it and fell into the sea.

Glancing down at this, Percy kept his feet frozen to the deck for the moment, before with another thought he began to force sea water into the ship, the water rising up and flooding the ships cooling tower, causing steam to issue forth as the sea water quench the coal powered engines, only for that water to then flash freeze, causing the hot metal to shatter and crippling the ships engines.

Smiling grimly at this, Percy then took his eyes off of the scuppered ship and instead looked over to the village, his eyes narrowing, as he saw dozens of houses on fire, and the docks themselves burning, as the mounted Fire Nation soldiers rampaged through the streets. The Firebenders releasing blasts of fires without a care in the world for the damage and destruction they were causing.

At the same time Percy could also see armoured, green cladded forms darting through the dark smoke, the Kyoshi Warriors having now mobilised, with some of them leaping from buildings knocking the soldier's from their mounts. Whilst others began shooting arrows, aiming for the eyes of the rampaging rhinos.

The Fire Nation troops didn't take this sitting down though, because even as he watched, Percy could see them fighting back. The Kyoshi Warriors proving themselves to be more than a match for a standard Fire Nation infantry man, however against trained Firebenders there skills were shown to be inadequate.

Taking all this in for a moment, Percy leapt off the Fire Nation battleship, hitting the water below, before he the proceeded to shoot through it, a massive wave rising up behind him as he struck the coast, unleashing tonnes of water upon the village as he swamped the streets, and put out the burning buildings closest to the sea. His actions also sending discord amongst the ranks of the Fire Nations soldiers as they found themselves now being attack on all sides.

The disorder however only lasted so long, before their leader, a pale faced youth with a scar on one side of his face quickly took command. His adolescent voice easily heard over the din of battle as he ordered his men around, demanding that they burn the village, find the Avatar and drive back the enemy.

(Earlier with Suki)

For Suki the day had started out like any other, as first off she had awoken early as she usually did, before she had then gone through her morning exercises, including a quick spar with Percy, after which she started her morning patrol of the island.

All of which was normal for her, sure she had had to send a couple of extra warriors to the Unagi Bay to keep an eye on things, as the Avatar had gotten the idea he wanted to try surfing on the backs of the elephant koi again, despite the fact his two companions had started making preparations to leave the island either today or tomorrow.

But other than that it had been normal.

Of course things change, and they change fast.

Currently Suki was in the training hall, about to run through the afternoon training session with a group of Kyoshi Warriors, all of them were currently armed, amoured and wearing their makeup as they went through the first and easiest of their patterns as a warm up.

In fact they had only just finished the first seventeen movements, when Han, the village leader burst into the room, his breathing coming out heavy and his grey hair a mess as he looked around, before focusing on Suki.

"Suki!" Han gasped, his breathing still ragged. "A Fire Nation ship has been spotted, and they're almost on our shore!"

Suki frowned as she heard that, confused for a moment, after all they received trade ships from all over the world, including the Fire Nation, so why should one of their merchant vessels arriving cause Han to be in such a harried state.

Of course her mind soon caught up to her and her eyes widened as she realised what he meant, the ship that was approaching, it wasn't a merchant vessel, it was a warship, and obviously it did not come in peace.

"Shit!" Suki cursed before she glanced around at all the wide eyed Kyoshi Warriors around her, most of whom hadn't been in a real fight, save for occasionally fighting off the odd crew of untrained and poorly armed pirates, or band of deserting soldiers. With these being very easy fights, against disorganised and poorly equipped enemies. "Ok, Han, get the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors and send them to the village ready to fight!"

The old man nodded tiredly at that, his eyes still resolute despite his heavy breathing.

"You four!" Suki then ordered, as she gestured at four of her Warriors, her voice now stern. "Begin evacuating the villagers, take them all to the forest and away from any of the fighting. Make sure they are safe!"

The four Kyoshi Warriors she pointed at nodded seriously at that, before they turned and ran out of the training hall, Han sending her a look of concern before he did the same, the old man hurrying as he continued to sound the alarm.

The sound of the village's gong already sounding out as he did so, already warning the rest of the island of the incoming danger.

"The rest of you with me!" Suki then commanded, unsheathing her sword as she ran out of the hall, a dozen of her warriors following quickly after her, all of them unsheathing their own weapons as they prepared for the battle to come.

From there the group quickly made it to the centre of the village, only to see the villagers already moving, many of them fleeing with their belongings out of the village and towards the forest, the four warriors she sent and some former, now retired ones trying to guide them as they quickly tried to evacuate the village.

Ignoring that for the moment, Suki instead looked out to sea, her expression hardening when she sure the large, metal hulled, Fire Nation battleship almost on their shore.

"Dammit Percy where are you?" Suki muttered to herself as she saw this, before she pushed such thoughts away, as she instead gestured for her warriors to follow her, before she took to the roofs, a few of them staying behind to usher as many of the villagers and sailors out of harm's way as they could, even as the others started preparing to ambush the Fire Nation soldiers.

"Suki what's going on!?" Sokka shouted as he ran over to where Suki was directing her soldiers, getting a harsh glare from the girl for the interruption as he did so.

"Use your eyes, the Fire Nation are attacking!" Suki snapped back, her blue eyes flashing angrily.

"We can help, I'll go get Aang and Katara, and then we can help you defend the village." Sokka replied quickly.

"No!" Suki snapped back just as quickly. "They're probably here looking for you and your friends, if you want to help the village, get the Avatar and go, leave the village now, and maybe they will follow after you!"

"But we can help!" Sokka tried again, his eyes widening as he realised he and his friends might have been the cause of the war coming to Kyoshi.

"You've done enough. Now go!" Suki replied in frustation, sick of this conversation now as she saw the Fire Nation battleship crash into the docks, shattering the wooden pontoons, even as the spiked metal gangplank was lowered and armoured and armed Fire Nation soldiers, astride armoured rhinos rode out, some of the mounted Firebenders already sending out blasts of flames as they did so.

Sokka turned as he heard the sounds of shattering wood and crackling fire, his eyes widening as he recognised the ship as one that belonged to the banished Fire Nation Prince, Zuko. A ship he had seen invade his own village, only back then it hadn't been as violent, and the forces weren't as large, though that might also have been because his village was an awful lot smaller then Kyoshi, and so didn't warrant such show of force.

"Look Suki you need to get out of here, the guy who leads them, Prince Zuko, he's a monster, he'll burn this village to the ground trying to find Aang!" Sokka tried, his eyes now back on the scowling Suki, his expression pleading.

"My duty is here, defending my people!" Suki replied stiffly, "Yours however is far from here, take your Avatar and go!"

Sokka flinched at that, before he nodded, his eyes shooting back to Zuko's soldiers for a moment before he turned and ran, heading for the Unagi Bay where he knew Aang and Katara were supposed to be.

"Suki?" One of the other Kyoshi Warriors questioned after Sokka had disappeared.

"Get everyone up high, our only chance against these riders is to dismount them. I want some of the women to attract the attention of the Firebenders, the rest will use the distraction to knock them from the saddle or kill the beasts." Suki replied quickly, outlining her plan as she did so. "And remember go for the kill, as you know damn well that they will do the same. Also aim for the Firebenders if possible, they are the biggest obstacle for us, get them on the ground and then we can use our numbers to bring them down!"

"Right!" The girl nodded, the other Kyoshi Warriors doing the same, before they scattered, all of them moving into the nearby buildings as the Fire Nation soldiers rode up to the village centre, leaving the docks on fire behind them.

Suki scowled at this before she did the same, her gaze momentarily locking onto the leader of the soldiers, this Prince Zuko, her lip curling upwards at the thought of this spoiled princeling attacking her home like he had.

(With Prince Zuko)

A few moments later found the Kyoshi Warriors all lying in wait as the column of soldiers entered the village proper. With the leader, an angry looking man in his late teens looking round, the horrific red scar on one side of his face standing out starkly against his pale skin. The teen in question currently wearing a set of red and black armour with golden inlay, a set was of a much higher quality to the ones his soldiers were wearing. A quality that denoted his position, or rather his former positon, as the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.

"Avatar! Reveal yourself, or we'll burn this village to the ground!" Zuko shouted out, his golden eyes narrowed as he looked around the empty looking village, with the only sound that he could hear being the crackle of fire behind him and the loud breathing of the war rhino he was sat on.

"Fine then, raze the village to the ground! We'll find him even if we have to shift through the ashes!" Zuko continued, looking to his men now, who without a hint of hesitation started moving through the village, the Firebenders punching their fists out and sending blasts of fire at the wooden buildings, uncaring of the consequences as they began to set the once neutral trading village on fire.

Digging his heels into his own mount, Zuko urged it onwards, his golden eyes narrowed as he saw that nearly a dozen houses had now been set on fire. Despite that though the naive and childish Avatar hadn't shown up yet demanding that they stop and making a target of himself. After all he had caught the boy back in the South Pole by threatening innocent people with fire, he didn't see why he couldn't do the same here.

As that thought was going through Zuko's mind, he soon found himself distracted when heard a crashing sound behind him.

Twisting around his face contorted into an angry scowl as he saw one of his armoured Firebenders men hitting the ground, flowed by several others as fan welding girls, in battle kimonos and light armour leapt from nearby houses and engaged his forces. The roar of the war rhinos sounding out as well as arrows started striking them, sending the beasts out of control as they started to rampage, one of them trampling a Fire Nation spearman before Zuko's very eyes.

"We're under attack!" Zuko shouted, his hands now enshrouded in fire as he turned and started throwing large, wild blasts of flames around at anything that moved. His Firebenders doing the same, as the group of soldiers quickly reacted to the ambush with military precision, born from years of training and experience.

Snarling in rage, Zuko felt his fury rising as he saw a girl in a green kimono and armour, with a golden headdress leap from a nearby building and slam feet first into a pair of his men, knocking them from the saddle. Similarly he saw another of his men, one of his Firebenders fall from his saddle, an arrow protruding from the eye hole of his helmet, a spray of blood emerging as he fell to the ground dead.

"Don't hold back, destroy everything!" Zuko bellowed at his men, throwing out huge waves of fire and striking one of the girls as he did so, his flames setting her robes and hair on fire and sending her screaming to the ground, desperately clawing at her fiery garments.

In response to that order the Firebenders started lashing out, sending waves of fire in every direction, even as the common soldiers unsheathed swords or gripped their spears and started clashing with the amoured women.

"You'll pay for that!" A cold voice suddenly snarled loudly, before Zuko felt a heavy weight strike him in the chest and knock him off his mount, the breath almost leaving his lungs as he slammed onto the ground.

Luckily though he himself was highly trained, if not all that experienced, and so he managed to land with a roll, getting back onto his feet quickly, before he turned and swung his wrist out, blocking a sword slash with his armoured bracers, his golden eyes locking onto a pair of blue ones.

"You'll regret that peasant!" Zuko snarled, before he started lashing out at the girl, flames leaving his hands as he began to weave through a number of highly refined elite Firebending stances, his opponent using her own martial arts to block and weave through his attacks, as they fought back and forth, both of them skilled in their own style of fighting as they danced around each other. Suki knocking his wrists aside and deflecting his kicks, avoiding the blasts of fire as she did so. Zuko meanwhile would block or avoid her sword thrusts, before getting in close and using his superior strength to batter her back.

Unfortunately for the girl though, as the fight progressed Zuko's Firebending became more of a factor, as every other strike he made was backed up by a blast or wave of fire. Which was something the girl couldn't always deflect, and wasn't able to block, which instead meant she had to dodge, which contributed to breaking her flow, which gave Zuko the advantage as he began forcing her back.

However at the same time, the girl, whose golden headdress was more ornate than her fellows, which denoted her as the likely leader, had a sword which extended the range of her attack and kept Zuko on guard as the two of them fight back and forth, in a rapid display of skill and ferocity. Her sword occasionally creating sparks as it glanced off his armour, the blade even drawing blood when she landed a small cut across his right hand.

As this duel was going on, the fighting in the rest of the village had also continued, as now most of the Firebenders and common soldiers had been dismounted, with several of them now lying prone on the ground, in a growing pool of their own blood. At least two of the Firebenders now lying dead, whilst a further six common soldiers lay dying.

On the other hand their attackers, the green clad women were now out in the open and were now being hemmed in by the flame covered buildings, with some of them now starting to fall as the sheer disparity between benders and nonbenders started to make itself known, as the girls although more than a match for a standard soldier, found themselves getting forced back by the sheer skill and ferocity of the Firebenders.

It was as this was going on, that the assembled fighters were all distracted by the sound of shattering metal and the crash of the sea, many of them pausing in their fighting to look over, only to see the Fire Nation battleship now rising out of the sea, partially impale on a spike of ice, with even more water flowing over it, warping and rupturing the ship's metal hull, the sound of shattering metal easily audible over the sounds of battle.

The Kyoshi Warriors all cheered at this, before they leapt back into the fight, their spirits now raised as the fought harder than ever, after all the fire Nation soldiers might have Firebenders, but they had a Waterbender, and an exceptionally powerful one at that.

"What!?" Zuko snarled as he leapt back from Suki, his golden eyes flickering over to his ship, his anger flaring at the sight of his most valuable asset being destroy. His anger only increasing at the thought of how his foolish Uncle Iroh could allow such a thing to happen, after all the fat old man had decided to not take part in the assault in the island and instead stay on board the ship.

"Looks like you're done!" Suki smiled, her sword held in both hands as she glared at the angry Zuko.

"Just die!" Zuko bellowed, fire erupting from his body in all directions, forcing Suki to back off form both the heat and flames he was now exuding.

As she did this, Zuko was able to see how a figure jumped off the ship before approaching the land, a massive wave of sea water rising up behind them before it crashed down onto the village, putting out the fires his men had set and soaking the ground. The impact of it immediately having an effect on the moral of his men.

Glaring as he saw this, Zuko threw caution to the wind before he charged in the direction of the new entrant, suspecting as he did so that it would either be the Avatar or that Water Tribe peasant girl he travelled with. Suki now completely forgotten as he threw himself into the ongoing melee, heading for the Waterbender, roaring orders at his men as he did.

Suki meanwhile glared at the back of the teen's head, before she turned and attacked a different Firebender, more than happy to leave the angry little Princeling to Percy.

( - )

(With Percy)

The moment he landed on the shore, Percy was immediately moving, as he ran towards the assembled Fire Nation soldiers, most of whom were now engaged with the Kyoshi Warriors, ice cold mist flowing off his body and his eyes practically glowing as he prepared to get stuck in. The now sodden ground at his feet frosting over as he ran over it, and the air becoming thick as the moisture built up in it, making it harder for those around him to breath and slightly weakening the Firebender's flames.

It was as Percy was doing this that the Avatar's sky bison also took to the air from the other side of the island and started approaching the village, Aang, Sokka and Katara all in the saddle and looking in horror at the partially burned village, and the ongoing melee in the streets. Aang's expression turning into one of resolve as he decided that he needed to do something, after all this was all partially his fault, if he had not lingered then Zuko might never have come.

At the same time as this was happening, so too did the front of the now frozen Fire Nation ship seem to explode, as the iced over doors blew outwards, revealing a cold and irritable looking bearded, old man, in red robes and Fire Nation armour, his grey hair held up in traditional top knot. The old man in question looking around for a moment, before his eyes widened as he saw the ongoing battle in the village, one which had escalated far beyond what he expected. His eyes widening still further as he saw the men dead and injured Fire Nation soldiers, and how his nephew was about to engage the dangerous Waterbender that had come out of nowhere, and caught him by surprise when he scuppered their ship.

Oblivious to these goings on for the moment, Percy was instead focused on the enemy soldiers in front to him. His movements swift and fluid as he darted forward and engaged the first Firebender he met, his hand whipping through the air drawing forth a large blade of water from the sodden ground, before he struck out at the heavily armoured man. A slight layer of frost already starting to build on the man's armour, even as his breath came out in a mist.

The Firebender in question turned in shock as he saw this, before he shifted his positon and thrust his fist out violently, sending a blast of fire out of his hands, trying to disperse Percy's gathered water as he did so. His feet already gliding across the floor and his other hand shooting out for a follow up attack, fire already starting to form around it.

Unfortunately for him though Percy was quicker, as without a word he twisted round dodging the blast of fire, the water shooting along his arm as he did so, before striking the Firebender in the chest, the force of the blow knocking him backwards, and leaving him open for Percy to follow up his attack with a follow up one.

His fist then striking the Firebender in the chest, and impacting with the full force of an earthquake, as Percy drew on another one of his father's domain, and created the equivalent of an earthquake with his punch, only instead of creating it on the ground he created it on impact with his opponent.

The vibrational force of the blow shattering the Firebender's armour and bones, and caving in his chest, even as it hurled him a dozen or so metres backwards, attracting the shocked attention of the other combatants.

Using this as a distraction Percy once more leapt into action, the water now swirling around him, covering his limbs and giving him excess energy as he started lashing out at the enemy, his blades of water whipping around him in tendrils of water, as he mentally manipulated them, striking out at the assembled soldiers mercilessly. Going for throats, armpits and groins as his blades of water and ice sought the chinks in the assembled soldier's heavy armour, forcing all of the surprised soldiers onto the defensive.

Seeing this the Kyoshi Warriors gained a second wind as they started striking out, cutting down the common infantry men with ease, the tides now turning as they began to bring their superior numbers to bare. The strength of the Firebenders now nullified by Percy's presence as he cut through a third one, his left arm a lance of ice which pierced straight through one of the men's shoulders, freezing the man's blood on contact, killing him in an instant.

Twisting round Percy lashed out with his newly formed ice lance, batting aside a blast of fire as he did so, before he whipped his hand up and sent a barrage of icy spears over at his attacker, some of them shattering on his armour, though enough of them penetrated, including one which struck him in the head and pierced through the eyehole in his helmet and into his brain.

With a dull thump the man fell to the ground dead, even as Percy turned to finish off another one. However as he did so, he was nearly caught by surprise by a powerful blast of fire from behind him. His watery tendrils forming a shield around him, which took the worst of the blast, though he still felt the heat rolling over him as he turned around. Only to now find himself standing opposite an angry looking kid with a horrific scar running down one side of his face.

"You, you're not the Avatar!" Zuko snarled furiously, two daggers of pure fire now extended from his clenched fists.

"No shit." Percy replied dryly, before he raised his hand and create a shield of water, blocking the blast of fire the boy sent at him as he slammed his hands together and thrust them forwards, a metre thick wall of fire erupting from them.

Shifting back Percy created another sword of ice in his right hand, even as he continued recreating the water shield in front of him, his eyes narrowing as the boy continued to send kicks and punches his way, fire erupting from his feet and fists and striking his shield, the boy's fire proving itself to be more intense and refined than the other Firebenders, as Percy ended up having to maintain and recreate his water shield after every blast, whilst he searched for an opening.

"Where is the Avatar?!" Zuko snarled as he continued his assault, getting closer and closer as he continued to unload a nonstop onslaught of fire on his opponent.

Percy didn't verbally reply to that, instead he sent out a wave of icy cold mist, his left hand forming into a set of claws as he darted forwards, closing the distance between the two of them, before he lashed out with his sword, aiming for the kid's head, the icy blade extending as he did so, even as ground beneath the boys feet froze over.

Zuko however adapted fast as he threw himself to one side, his feet slipping slightly as he did so, the blade instead striking his amoured chest, leaving a half inch deep gouge in his armour. That being said he didn't get away unscathed though, because as he dodged the sword strike, Percy then lashed out with his other arm, his clawed hands striking Zuko across the right side of his face, creating a spray of crimson blood and drawing a cry of shock and agony from the adolescent as he staggered backwards, his right hand clutching his now very bloody face. His golden eyes wide with both fear and rage.

Percy though didn't stop moving, instead he continued to use his momentum, his sword coming back around as he saw Zuko raise his other hand and try and send another blast of fire at him. Once again the boy was fast, but Percy was faster as he slashed out with his blade, hitting the hand and shearing off several fingers and a portion of his hand.

Zuko letting out another cry of pain at this, even as his fire sailed harmlessly over Percy's shoulder.

Following this up with a kick, Percy then sent the kid crashing to the floor, his face and hand now a bloody mess as Percy went to finish him off. His sea green eyes flickering around the partially burned village as he did, noticing how Suki had just run the last Firebender through with her sword, meaning that there were now only a couple of attackers left as most were now lying on the ground, dead or dying.

Of course it hadn't been a flawless victory, as already Percy could see that many of the Kyoshi Warriors had burns and bloody wounds, with there being at least three of them lying prone on the ground, most likely dead.

Scowling as he saw all this pain and destruction, Percy then turned to look at the leader of the raid, his grip on his sword tightening as he prepared to kill him.

AN: Now I believe that is what some people might call a cliffhanger :)

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and leave a review. Would love to hear people's reactions to what happened and what they think could/ should happen going forwards. I think what I have in mind will be unexpected.

Other than that thanks for reading and I'll see you next time.

Mwuhahaha!
