Sokka's Boomerang hit its mark and tripped Zuko up; however, the Boomerang clattered to the ground. Zuko fell to the ground as the remainder of his troops were either recovering or busy with the water nation boy. Zuko got to his feet and his nostrils flared... literally. He breathed in and out he had to remain calm.
"Sir! I got the girl!"
"AVATAR! COME OUT! WE HAVE YOUR FRIENDS! HAND YOURSELF OVER AND THEY WON'T BE HARMED" Zuko yelled out into the huge Temple.

“I can’t leave him!… Sokka… You go on Aang. You’re the last hope for our world . If they catch you…everything is lost.”
"I'm not gonna..." she had already turned around and started to go back for Sokka. Before Aang could try to stop her, he was interrupted by a series of fireballs that were headed straight for him. He tripped backwards, getting partially hit by one in the process, but he had to keep moving. The airbender jumped up into the air to avoid a second fire blast, and he had to duck down far in order to dodge the last. He turned his head to see if Katara was still okay...
"AVATAR! COME OUT! WE HAVE YOUR FRIENDS! HAND YOURSELF OVER AND THEY WON'T BE HARMED"
"Give my friends back. Now!!" he screamed at the prince, slamming his staff into the ground in anger. As the boy yelled, he could see the prince from behind a broken pillar. He looked so... angry. It confused Aang. Why was he so angry. He wasn't the one being hunted. His friends weren't the ones being kidnapped.

"Avatar... Just hand yourself over and none of you will be harmed." Zuko thought for a moment. He had met a lot of people in his travels. Earth Kingdom troops and the remains of the slain Airbenders. This war didn't bring prosperity, it brought loss and grief. The avatar was the hope of the world. That they would be freed from the oppression of the Fire Nation. He tried to brush away that thought from his mind but it wouldn't go away. All his life he was taught not to question the violence. This 2 years away from propaganda had done him good. He was confused. He needed time to sort things out. Time he didn't have.
"Avatar, You see the destruction, and murder we have done to your people. There is no Airbenders left... You can't hope to defeat the Fire nation." Some of the other soldiers were shocked at the Prince's remark. They had seen him become different throughout the journey. They reaffirmed their military discipline. What he said wasn't complete treason, only the truth.

Ken walked about in the area, it was absloutely stunning, beautiful, but of the worst things, ken was in a bad mood, naturally, but he idn't reall notice it, he stood by the edge in silence, watching and scanning the area, he watching in silence a a bird flew against the wind, a stunning sight
"Beautiful...."
It seemed to escape him so easily, As he turned to look back, He heard some shouts, but very distant shouts, he suddenly became intrested
*There can't possibly be Real people, this place is deserted, unless if it was spirits* he enquired to himself, As he walked through the area the shouts became louder
"AVATAR! COME OUT! WE HAVE YOUR FRIENDS! HAND YOURSELF OVER AND THEY WON'T BE HARMED"
He un-done his battle water, It was a large bottle which could hold around 14 pints of water, He jumped sideways when a blast of fire came his way
"d**n firebenders, watch where your shooting" he muttered, this was the wrong day to be annoying him , And another voice was heard
"Give my friends back. Now!!" It seemed to be a young male's voice, he looked around the corner, with his water at the ready, There was a male with a scar, And another water tribe girl, and another water tribe male, The other male then must be an airbender, The avatar, his eyes widened slightly, but he was nowhere in sight
"Avatar... Just hand yourself over and none of you will be harmed." Ken snorted at that, Highly un-beleivable, And what he said next was what fired ken up
"Avatar, You see the destruction, and murder we have done to your people. There is no Airbenders left... You can't hope to defeat the Fire nation.", As soon as he heard this, he stood up from his leaning position, He didn't really hold grudges against anyone, but this was a true exception Before anyone could speak, He summoned up the loudest voic he could muster
"I CAN", he said walking out from the corner, The water was coming out in litres, piling on the floor, a part of the water creeped up his arm, it formed a spike, before turning it into ice, He had true determination in his eyes, he used one arm, the water flowed freely from the bottle, Using one arm, he made the ice turn back into water and fall to the ground, Using both hand the water crept around him in a circle, a dry circle with dark paved water around him, He got into stance he lifted both hands up and 8 arms appeared from the water
"Octopus stance.." he breathed heavily, this was one of his hardest to do, yet it had expectant results
"Now here's my offer, Let his friends go, or you can face my wrath instead!"

Zuko turned and faced the other Waterbender. He knew his troops were the worst the Fire Nation had to offer. They could barely handle the Avatar's friends. This guy looked like a very experienced if not young Waterbender. He was outmatched.
"Fine. Men let them go. Were outmatched. Head back to the ship." Zuko ordered eyeing the bender spitefully. If only he hadn't shown up. His men released the Gaang from their nets and walked backwards to their mounts. Zuko eyed the Waterbender. He wondered if he could take him.
"You win... but be I can't stop hunting you Avatar.
(I was so close... d**n you new guy! d**n You! lol)

It seemed like it was his only choice. He had to make sure Sokka and Katara weren't hurt... and it was the only option left--
"Now here's my offer, Let his friends go, or you can face my wrath instead!"
Aang heard a new voice all of a sudden. One that hadn't spoken until just a moment ago. He walked closer to where he had heard it come from and he spotted a boy. "...Who are you?" he questioned as he stared at the new comer.
"Fine. Men let them go. Were outmatched. Head back to the ship."
"Wait... what?" was his first thought. The prince was just going to let them go now? The airbender took a step closer towards his friends, but he continued to watch Zuko.
"You win... but be I can't stop hunting you Avatar."
He didn't understand what his reason for hunting him down was, but whatever it was, it couldn't have been a good one. "You're gonna fail..." he said quietly and then he ran over to his friends. He wanted to make sure that they were okay. "Sokka... Katara?".

"Either way... I'll see you again Avatar. I have to restore my honor." Zuko said walking away to his mount and proceeding down the cliff path.
Zuko was really questioning his motives. The Fire Nation are doing terrible things, yet he fights under their banner to do their bidding. He needed to defect and soon. He had to do it away from his men though. What was he thinking talking about the Avatar's people being destroyed. He was starting to sound like the General he confronted in the war meeting. No respect for human life.

As the firebender decided to retreat, He eyes him back, He did know who he was, he just didn't realise, he sighed once he had left, he wouldn't have to fight, as the water poured back up into his bottle he began walking over to Where he was leaving, He eyed him cautiously and his men, The closest one to him gave him the finger, Ken frowned, he turned around, before un-doing hi bottle, He quickly lifted it up covering against a blast of fire agasint him, He had anticipated with a right note, He took up 8 arms and made three edge towards the soldier, They wrapped it' hands around his body, hte then rectracted it, He used his hands in a twirling motion, and brung it foward, it propelled the man,
"Train your men better, Firebender" he called out to the man (Zuko), As he turned around he looked at them, the water crept up his sleeves bak into the bottle as he began walking towards him, He bowed respectivvly to the airbender, whom he recognised due to the orange clothing
"I Am Ken Zakari, it is nice to see someone else from the same nation as i" he said looking to the other two uncoiunsess As he looked up, it was becoming about midday

Sokka’s vision begins to steady. He looks up at Aang and his head slowly turns to see a new water tribe kid. His head quickly jerks looking for his sister. “Katara!” He finds her unconscious next to him. “Is she ok? And who is that.” He says as he stands pointing at the kid. “Aang your ok? Why did the fire nation troops leave?” Sokka said al this very fast and doesn’t leave enough time for anyone to answer.
"Where did this guy come from? Wandering in the abandoned Air temple? This doesn’t seem right Aang."
Sokka kneels in front of Katara and begins trying to wake her. “Sister. Sister wake up.”

Racing across the uneven ground, Katara’s eyes were firmly focused her brother’s limp form resting upon the ground …eerily silent and unmoving. Her throat closed tight at the thought of loosing Sokka leaving her vulnerable to the soldier rapidly approaching from behind.
“NO!! Sokka!!“ she screamed her voice shaking slightly in panic. “He can’t be dead!!“ the young woman whispered to herself. Merely a few feet from her brother, the water bender’s eyes shifted slightly to latch onto a scar faced young man standing next to the water tribe warrior. “ YOU did this to him??” she said waspishly her eyes glaring in liquid blue flame.
The teen leaned down to pick up the boomerang but was quickly halted when she felt a sharp sting on the left side of her head. ‘Blink..blink ..’ her lids moved up and down a few times trying to focus until all the sounds became muffled and began to fade.
"Sir! I got the girl!" the fire soldier hollered.
With a small groan, she slipped to the ground unconcious.
Sokka kneels in front of Katara and begins trying to wake her. “Sister. Sister wake up.”
The brunette brushed her brother’s hand away mumbling, “Don’t wanna wake up…you make breakfast today….wanna sleep....”

“Is she ok? And who is that. Aang your ok? Why did the fire nation troops leave? Where did this guy come from? Wandering in the abandoned Air temple? This doesn’t seem right Aang."
"Well... I guess his name is Ken," he shrugged, looking at Sokka and then over at the other water tribe boy. "Calm down, Sokka. He scared them off," he smiled. Though... it did seem odd that he was just walking around the temple for no reason. A long time ago, the air temples had been believed to be inaccesable, except by flying bisons. Now everyone was just coming and going.
The airbender was worrying more about Katara at that point though. He knelt down and touched her arm a bit. "Katara?"
Standing up again, Aang walked over towards Ken and bowed. "Thankyou for helping us," he happily thanked the teenager.

A tick mark appeared on his head when he called him a 'kid', but he suppressed it quickly, He looked down at sokka "Katara" he noticed it as her name, since she was the only girl there, as he turned back to Aang, he was thanked happily by him
" No problem at all " he said back to 'Aang', and then a crew could be heard, as the final drops of water went back into it's rightfull place, and the cork came back on, He yawned
"Hey.... Aang?, It's an honor to meet an airbender, i thoughthey were killed", He then whistled something silent, something that none of them could hear, just wind blowing was all they heard Suddenly a Pygmy Puma appeared, and sat by his side, He took some food,and handed them to the Pygmy Puma
"Hey Ryoku whats up?", and the Puma replied with a series of Growls
"Right...." And he turned to look at the water tribe warrior, before revert back to the other two, and reverting to his own gaze and suddenly blurted out "u guys Hungry?, i have food" Ken said, Tapping his backsack

Sokka turns towards Aang “Ae they gone for now?“ he turns back towards Ken and stands up. “Did you say food!” He turns again towards Katara "You ok sis?" Sokka turns towards Ken again. “Ok whatcha got? We eat then we leave the fire nation soldiers may be back. And you should get out of here too.” He says pointing at Ken while he waits for food.

Deep amidst the misty fog of slumber, Katara felt a gentle touch and heard soothingly familiar voices weave their way into her semi-dream state. Rich sable lashes fluttered for a few moments until the thread of urgency sent her heavy lids gradually upward to find Aang, Sokka and a strange man towering above.
“ Mmmmm..” The brunette groaned while inching herself with her elbows from the ground and squinting due to the sun’s glaring brightness. Katara’s right hand rose instinctively to touch her burning scalp only to find her fingers wrapped around Sokka’s boomerang.
“Please tell me that I didn’t try to use this and hit myself in the head…” Her request was laced with a tinge of sarcasm yet relief was clearly evident when she saw that both her brother and Aang were safe.
Lying the tribal weapon on the ground beside her, the water bender touched the tender spot at the back of her head and winced. She quickly scanned the area searching for the scar-faced boy and the fire nation soldiers who’d attacked them only to find a young man dressed very similarly to Sokka and herself.
’Am I still dreaming? A water tribesman….here? ’ She struggled for a few moments to find a logical explanation and at finding none promptly shut her eyes in the hopes that the world would aright when she opened them once again. To her dismay, she found that the so called mirage was still standing just a few feet away. Then she became dizzy trying to follow her brother as his head swung back and forth from one to the next of them.
“Did you say food!” The warrior turns again towards Katara "You ok sis?" Sokka turns towards Ken again. “Ok whatcha got? We eat then we leave the fire nation soldiers may be back. And you should get out of here too.” He says pointing at Ken while he waits for food.
Sky blue eyes rose upward to give Aang a relieved smile before changing to a puzzled expression in reference to their strange new companion. “ I’ll be okay… ahhh do you know him Sokka? Aang?” she inquired in a hushed voice while pushing unsteadily to her feet. The water bender looked at the newcomer with hesitant regard before lowering her head in assent and reaching out to gently grab the Air bender's arm for support.
“Sokka’s right Aang..we really should be on our way.” Katara still wasn’t sure exactly what had made the Fire benders leave in the first place but she would ask the boys later what had happened after she’d been knocked out. Tilting her head slightly she murmured to the chocolate haired young man, “Ummm hello…I’m Katara .”

He looks back at the male as he speak to him, He smiled before putting a hand in his backpack, he pulled out an apple and threw it to him, the puma growled at the male known as 'sokka'
"Shush" he scolded, before turnign back to the male "Don't worry, they won't come back if i'm here, and if they did, they wouldn't last very long against me, he then shuddered as a gust of wind hit him, he looked at the girl who had just spoken to him
"It is nice to meet you, katara" he said bowing to her, The puma who sat by his side began sniffing the three,
"Don't worry, she isn't a violent one, not even to animals whom their not meant to like", he looked at his bottle
"Mannn" ((The way sokka does it)), His bottle was half full,
"I've been here for a coupla weeks now", he said taking the bottle and puttitng it up-side down, he then un-done the bottle top
He stood a few meteres back, before bending, bending nothing that is, but before long a misty vapour appeared, some of the plants had also whithered, before long there was a blob of water, he then walked back to Bottle and streamed it back in, until it was into the rim, he then shoved the cork on, and put it back on his back
"What are you guys doing here anyway?" he said to the three
