Tak: This is not the Key, It just leads us to it.
Scratch: Than where is the real one?
Hamilton: You have no Honor.

Intro Ends.
The calm cool sky was above them, And the nearest market was not far, The team made their way on Appa as he soared through the Air.
Mark: Shouldn't be long, a few more days and we'll be at Caer Dathyl soon.
Dipper: The closer to home base the better.
Jack: I'll say, Fire benders, Bounty Hunters, Great Animals, I've had enough of that, Whats next? Some emotional development?
Meanwhile.
Iroh sniffed the air as he looked to the sky, He knew what the scent was.
Iroh: There is a storm coming, A big one.
Zuko stopped looking through his telescope at this.
Zuko: Your out of your mind uncle, The weathers perfect there's not a cloud in sight,
Iroh: A storm seems to be coming from the East, We should change course and turn south.
Zuko: Caer Dathyl is to the East, The Freedom watch are heading there, So will we.
Iroh: Prince Zuko, Consider the Safety of the Crew.
Zuko: The safety of the Crew doesn't matter!
To Zuko's left, Lieutenant Jee heard this last comment and Frowned at him.
Zuko: Finding the Avatar is more Important than any individuals safety.
And with that, He marched back inside the ship leaving Jee disgruntled.
Iroh: He doesn't mean that, He's just worked up.
Meanwhile.
The team had arrived in a small harbor, But had unfortunately run into some difficulty.
Mark: This isn't good, No money, No Food, Just four days from Caer dathyl and we're Broke.
Mac: Now what do we do?
Vana: Just go on regardless.
Jack: We wouldn't last a mile at this rate.
Dipper: We could find a living.
The team stared at him at these words.
Dipper: You know… Work.
Dib: But… This is work.
Dipper facepalmed.
Dipper: I mean work that involves getting paid.
Dib: Oh.
Behind them an old couple were bickering about something that caught their Attention.
Old Woman: We shouldn't go out their! The fish can wait, There's going to be a terrible storm.
Old Man: Ahh, Your crazy, It's a perfect day no clouds, No wind, No nothing, So stop your belly aching Woman.
Sokka: Should we evan be eavesdropping on this?
Old Woman: My joints say there's going to be a storm! A bad one!
Old Man: Well it's your joints against my brain.
Old Woman: Well, I hope your brain can find someone to haul all that fish cause I ain't coming.
Old Man: Than I'll find a new fish hauler or two and claim double what you get! How do you like that!?
Mark than got an Idea.
Mark: Excuse me sir, If I could have a moment of your time.
Old Man: What do you want?
Meanwhile.
Dark clouds were coming over head the Ship, As the crew looked on at it with weary eyes.
Jee: Huh, Guess your uncle was right after all.
Iroh: Lucky Guess.
Zuko: It doesn't matter, Our course remains the same.
Jee: Huh, Like your mood.
Zuko: You'd better learn some respect, Lieutenant, Or I will teach it to you.
A young Female soldier Named Kita lost patience.
Kita: What do you know About respect? The way you talk to everyone Around here, From your hard working crew to your esteemed uncle shows you know nothing about respect!
Iroh put a hand over his Face.
Kita: You don't care about anyone but Yourself! Then again, What would I expect from a Spoiled Prince!
Zuko's eyebrow twitch from this Statement, He whirled around to face Kita in a firebending Stance, Kita Followed suite.
Iroh: Easy now.
Jee: this Should be fun.
Zuko and Kita clashed their Wrists together to begin Combat when Iroh stepped between them.
Iroh: Enough! We are all a bit tired from being at sea so long, I'm sure after a few refreshments of October Ale, Everyone will feel better.
The two shared one last glare at each other before Kita turned back to the Crew.
Zuko: I don't need your help to maintain order on my ship uncle.
Meanwhile.
The storm began to hover towards the Harbour as the Watch were loading up.
Jack: Hmm, Sky's looking dark today.
Mark: We can't back out because of Bad weather old Friend.
Old Woman: The Fox Has some sense, You should Listen to him!
And with that she stalked off, Vana Picked up a heavy box and Nearly fell over board until Dib caught her.
Vana: You know, This would go alot faster If a certain Airbender would pull his weight.
The Fisherman perked up.
Old man: Airbender?
He looked back and Noticed Aang.
Old man: Well I'll be a ferrets uncle, You're the Avatar Aint ya?
Dipper: Yep, That's him.
Old man: Well don't be so Smiley about it.
Dipper, Katara and Aang were taken aback by his sudden harshness.
Old man: The Avatar disappeared for a hundred years! You turned your back on the world!
Katara: Don't yell at him like that! Aang would never turn his back on anyone!
Old man: Oh, He wouldn't huh? Than I guess I must have imagined the last hundred years of war and suffering and Villains parading Game of thrones.
Katara: Aang is the Bravest person We know, He has done nothing but Help People and Save lives since we met him, It's not his fault he disappeared, Right Aang?
By the Time Katara and Dipper Turned around Aang had already bolted off on his glider.
Old man: That's right! Keep flying deserter!
Dipper: He's not a deserter! Right?
Dipper and katara hurrie dover to Appa, Dib and Vana followed.
Katara: Appa, Yip Yip!
Appa rose to the sky to follow Aang.
Mark: Where are they going?
Old man: WHo cares, Why do you Freedom watch bring 13 year olds on you Missions anyway?
Mark: That… Is a very good question.
Meanwhile.
The rain fell down hard as Appa skirted through the mountain range, Katara noticed a small figure in a cave, She landed Appa in front of it and she, Dipper, Dib and Vana found Aang Kneeling with his back turned to them.
Aang: I'm sorry for running away.
Katara: It's okay, That fisherman was way out of line.
Aang: Actually, He wasn't?
Dipper: What do you mean?
Aang: it's kind of a long story.
Katara: Tell us
Aang agreed, And Dib got fire going.
Aang: I'll never forget the day the monks told me I was the Avatar.
Flashback.
Aang: I was playing with some kids outside the south wall, I was teaching them how to do the air scooter, Than my Mentor Gyatso and the other four elders came and said they wanted to speak with me, They took me to the Council Chamber and told Me I was the Avatar. "How do you know It's me?" I asked.
Tashi: We have known you were the Avatar for some time, Do you remember these?
Monk Tashi presented me with a package with childrens toys I used to own as a child.
Tashi: you choose them from among thousands of toys Aang, These were Avatar Relics, they belonged to Avatars past lives, Your past lives.
Aang: Are you sure? I think I chose them because they seemed fun.
Tashi: True, But you also choose them because they were familiar.
Gyatso: Normally under normal circumstances, We would have told you of your Identity when you turned sixteen, But there are troubling signs of late, Such as have not been felt since the time of Marshank and the Greeneyes Dynasty.
Abbot Pasang: We fear that war may be approaching Avatar and Not even the Freedom watch can prevent it.
Gyatso: We need you Aang.
Flashback changes to Zuko's ship.
Kita: Bah, I'm sick of taking his Orders, I'm tired of chasing his Avatar!
Kita was below deck with Jee and three other Crew Members around a lit fire barrel.
Jee: Yeah, Who does Zuko think he is?
Iroh: Do you really want to know?
At the sight of Iroh the Five Crew members stood up.
Jee: General Iroh! We were just-
Iroh: It's okay, May I join you?
Jee: Of course sir.
Iroh Sat down around the five troops.
Iroh: Try to understand, My nephew is a complicated you man, He has bean through much.
Flashback.
Zuko walk down the hall to his father's throne room, A few old Genral shad just made their way inside, He tried to enter as well but was blocked off by a guard.
Zuko: Let me in!
Iroh came to his side.
Iroh: Prince Zuko, What's wrong?
Zuko: I want to go into the war room but the guard won't let me pass.
Iroh: You're not missing anything trust me, These meetings are dreadfully boring.
Zuko: If I'm going to rule this Nation one day don't you think I should start learning as much as I can?
Iroh gave his Nephew a knowing look.
Iroh: Very well, But you must promise not to speak, These old folks can be rather… sensitive.
Zuko: Thank you uncle.
And Iroh led Zuko into the war chamber which was his Brothers Throne room, It was a giant room, With pillars everywhere, Where the Firelord sat a large wall of Fire, In front was a large map, With Fire nation generals all around, Planning their Conquest.
Bujing: The G.U.N. defenses are concentrated here, A dangerous battalion of their strongest mechs, So I am recommending the 41st division.
General: But the 41st is entirely new recruits, How do you expect them to take on all those G.U.N. Badniks themselves?
Bujing: I don't, They'll be used as a distraction while we mount an attack from the rear, What better to use as bait than fresh meat?, Towers Arrogance will feast on it.
Zuko: You can't sacrifice an Entire Division! Those soldiers love and defend our nation, How can you betray them?
Flashback end.
Iroh: Zuko was right you see, But it was not his place to speak, And there were dire consequences.
Meanwhile.
Vana: Wait? You were upset about being the Avatar?
Aang: Well, I didn't know how to feel about it, All I knew was that after I found out, Things started to change.
Flashback.
The other kids were playing and Zooming around on their Air scooters as Aang walked up to them.
Aang: You guys have been Practicing.
Younger boy: Not only that, We made up a game you can play with the Air Scooters.
Aang: Great!
Aang summoned an Air Scooter and Hoped on, But as soon as he did the other kids stopped.
Aang: What's going on?
Older boy: Now that you the Avatar, It's kind of an unfair advantage for witch ever team your on.
Aang: But I'm still the same, Nothings changed, Does this mean… I can't play?
Older Boy: it's the only fair way.
Aang was distraught, He hopped off his Scooter and walked away.
Younger Boy: Sorry Aang.
Later Aang was playing a game of Pai sho with Monk Gyatso, It made him feel a lot better, Than Monk Tashi came in to the room.
Tashi: You're playing games with him? The Avatar should be Training.
Gyatso: Aang has already trained enough for today.
TashI: Aang, Come, We must test you on some high level techniques.
Gyatso: No Tashi, As long as I am his Guardian I will decide when he trains.
Tashi gave a contemptuous sneer and left.
Flashback end.
Iroh: After Zuko's outburst in the Meeting.
Flashback.
Iroh: The Fire lord Became very Angry with him, He said that Zuko's Objection to General Buijings plan was an act of Complete Disrespect.
Flashback fades.
Iroh: And there was only one way to resolve it.
Jee: Agni Kai, The fire dual.
Iroh: That's right, Zuko looked upon Buijing and declared he was not afraid, He had heard tales of Beijing's prowess as a firebender, and he was determined to triumph.
Flashback.
Iroh: But Zuko misunderstood, A few weeks later when he turned to face his opponent, He was surprised and Shocked to find it was not General Buijing, Zuko had spoken out against his plan, But By doing so in the fire lords war room, It was my Brother he had insulted… Zuko would have to dual his own Father!
Flashback ends.
Aang: Than, Just as I was starting to feel better, Something worse happened.
Dipper: What?
Flashback.
Gyatso: Aang needs time for freedom and Fun and to grow up as a normal boy.
Tashi: His Destiny Cannot be impede, are you even aware of what's been happening lately?
Abbot Pasang: Tashi is right Gyatso, I know you mean well, But you are letting your affection for the boy cloud your judgement, Things are starting to happen, The Ice Nation was reported to be calling it's generals for something and so have the Dark Council, THe Fire and Dark nation have formed an alliance and I fear, this could be disastrous for us.
Gyatso: All I want is what's best for Aang.
Abbot Pasang: What we need is What's Best for the World!
The Abbot sighed.
Abbot Pasang: I'm sorry Gyatso, But you and Aang must be separated, He will go the eastern Air temple to complete his Training.
The Three men were unaware that Aang had been listening in.
Aang: Curse you political Crud!
Flashback.
Katara: That's… awful.
Dib: Seriously, Taking you away from everyone and everything you love? What the heck!
Vana: What did you expect? They were desperate, They knew what was happening back then, Future Predictions proved them right!
Dib: that still doesn't.
Dipper: Knock It off both of you!
Dipper: Grabbed the two and pushed them apart.
Aang: That's… not really how it went.
Flashback.
Aang: I was afraid and Confused, I didn't know what to do.
That night Gyatso came into my room.
Gyatso: Aang, I'm going to let them take you away from me… Aang?
He picked up a Note I left and Gasped.
Aang: I never saw Gyatso again and after that, I ran into a storm, Lost control of Appa and crashed into the sea, nearly drowned, At the last moment I used my airbending to give me and Appa enough Air to survive, And the next thing I knew I was waking up to see that you guys had dug me out of the Iceberg.
Flashback
The others were silent, Stil; trying to take in what Aang had said.
Dipper: You ran away.
Aang: And then the Triaxis powers attacked our temple, My people needed me and I wasn't there.
Katara: Aang-
Aang: The world needed me and I wasn't there to help!
Dipper: Yeah but-
Aang: And now Jerks and Psychos are running around trying to off each for the sake of world Domination!
Dib: Isn't that what-?
Aang: The fisherman was right, I did turn my back on the world!
Dipper: Well, you kinda did yeah, But in hindsight, If you had stayed the Triaxis powers would have killed you along with the other Airbenders.
Aang: you don't know that.
Vana: Um, do you even read history books? You're the Avatar, Of course they would have killed you!
Aang: I guess.
Katara: Besides, I think it was meant to be, You give people hope.
Aang smiled.
Dib: Oh God, Get a room you guys!
Meanwhile.
Iroh: When Prince Zuko saw that it was his father who had come to dual him, he begged for mercy.
Flashback.
Zuko: Please Father, I only had the Fire nation's best interest at heart, I'm sorry I spoke out of turn!
Ozai: You will fight for your honor!
Zuko got on his knees.
Zuko: I meant you know disrespect, I am your loyal son!
Ozai: Rise and Fight Prince Zuko.
Zuko: Father-
Ozai: Rise and Fight.
Zuko: I beg of-
Ozai: Rise and Fight!
Zuko: Please…
Ozai: I SAID RISE AND FIGHT DANG YOU!
Zuko: I won't fight you.
Ozai: You will learn respect, And suffering will be your teacher! And… Stuff…
Iroh: I looked away.
Zuko's Screams of Anguish still rang in his mind as it did that day and his Dreams ever since.
Flashback end.
Jee: I always thought, He got it in a training accident, Or was just designed that way for Dramatic effect.
Iroh: I assure you, Neither of those are the case, After the dual, The fire lord said that by refusing to fight, Zuko had shown in his words "shameful weakness"As Punishment he was banished, And sent to capture the Avatar, Only then could he be aloud back with his Honor.
Kita: So that's why he's obsessed, Capturing the Avatar is the one chance he has of things returning to normal.
Iroh: Things will never return to normal, But the Important thing is, The Avatar and the Freedom watch gave Zuko hope.
Meanwhile.
Zuko sat in his chamber, His only light being a small lit candle, His mind kept going back to old memories, Things he hoped never to forget, His home, His life and most importantly… His mind suddenly came back to reality at the sound of a large bang!
Meanwhile.
As Aang was feeling better, The Old Woman from earlier suddenly appeared in the cave.
Old Woman: Help! Freedom Watch Help!
Dib: What? What is it?
Old Woman: My Husband, Your Commander and Comrades, they haven't returned, And the Storms getting worse! They're caught out at sea!
Aang got up.
Aang: I'll go Find them.
Katara: I'm coming too.
Dipper: So am I.
Old Woman: i'm staying here.
Dipper: Dub, You Momo and Vana stay with her, We won't be long.
The three boarded Appa and headed out.
Meanwhile.
Zuko and the Crew made their way to the deck as the thundering Rain hailed down on them.
Zuko: Where were we hit?!
Jee: I don't know!
Iroh: Look!
Iroh pointed up at the bridge tower.
Kita: The helmsman!
Said Helmsman was hanging on for dear life off the broken railing.
Zuko: Uncle, Kita, Get everyone under control! Jee come with me!
Zuko and Jee climbed the ladder to the distressed helmsman, Down below Kita got the rest of the crew below deck, A bolt of lightning suddenly came down on the ship, Iroh Bended it though his body and Shot it up to the sky whence it came… It left him cartoonishly singed.
As a Small wave hit the ship, The Helmsman lost his Grip on the Railing and fell, Only to be Grabbed by a hand, Zuko's hand, The latter Handed him over to Jee, Who took him in his Shoulder.
Meanwhile.
Appa flew through the storm on his Search.
Katara: Where are they!?
Aang: I don't see them!
Dipper: look out!
A large wave towered over Appa, Aang could not pull up in time, So he used his staff and Appas strength to Ram right through the water.
Aang: The Boat! There!
And indeed to was, As the team made their way towards it they flew over Zuko's Ship.
Zuko: The Freedom Watch!
Kita: Should we Pursue them?
Zuko was silent for a moment.
Zuko: No, Let them go, We need to get this ship to safety.
Iroh: Than we must go into the Eye of the storm…
Jee: Is that a metaphor or Answer?
Iroh: Both.
Meanwhile.
Mark, Mac, Jack, Sokka and the Old man struggled to stay onboard the ship
Sokka: I'm too Young to Die!
Fisherman: I'm not but I still don't Wanna!
Mac: Somebody save us!
Appa came overhead at those very words, Aang and Dipper Hopped down from Appa to help, As they Did, A lightning bolt struck the mast and Aang had to split Sooka and the Fisherman Apart to save them.
Mark: You got here just in time kids!
Aang handed each of them some Rope.
Aang: Hang on to them!
He than Airbender back to Appa, Pulling the others along with him they Landed in Appas Saddle, But their Troubles didn't end their as A Large Tidal wave suddenly appeared behind them, Dipper suddenly felt the Emerald In his Jacket and yelled…
Dipper: Chaos Control!
Meanwhile.
THe ship had reached the eye of the storm, The wind had died down and the rain merely drizzled.
Zuko: Uncle, I am Sorry.
Iroh smiled.
Iroh: Your apology is accepted.
At that Moment Appa suddenly Appeared out of the Sky in a flash, The Crew stared up in shock!
Jee: Where did they come from?!
Kita: I have no Idea!
Zuko: Was that… Chaos Control?
Meanwhile.
Appa had arrived safely to the Cave.
The old woman ran up to her Husband.
Old Woman: Oh You're Alive! You owe this young man An Apology!
Aang: He have to…
Fisherman: How about I give him a fish and we call it evan?
Aang: I don't eat meat.
Mark: And uh… Our Payment.
The Fisherman: Slapped a dead fish into Mark's hand.
Mark: Oh Come on!
Katara: What happened back there Dipper?
Dipper: I don't know… I just touched the Emerald and than… Those words just came out, I honestly don't know why.
Jack: yes… That is a mystery…
Fisherman: Well if you or the Avatar weren't here now, I guess I wouldn't be here either, Thank you for saving my life Freedom watch.
Dib: All in a day's work.
Mac: Hey guys! The storms lifted.
And Indeed it did.
Mark: Well, That's a good thing, Now on to Caer dathyl.
Dipper: Yeah… On to Caer Dathyl.
Dib: Don't know what could cause trouble for us now.
Meanwhile.
In a large Castle A Hooded figure with Horns surveyed his Army, His Future Army.
Horned King: Yes… Yes, My Soldiers, Soon the Black Cauldron will be mine, It's evil Power will course through my veins, And I shall make you… Cauldron Born, Yes… Yes, Oh Yes, Than you will worship me! Me… Oh My soldiers, How long I have thirsted to be a god… Among mortal men.
To be Continued.
So I was hoping to complete this Chapter by the Time Enter the Florpus came out, But I guess I was to late, This Chapter was a lot of fun to write, All OC's belong to me, Except Kita.
See you next time. :)
