Zuko eyed Gaoling from the docks. He and some of his crew had commandeered a fishing boat. They paid the man for it and gave him a ride to his home town. The dressed up in fisherman clothes and headed to the port of Gaoling. He had left Ishi on the boat so she could get some rest. The Wooden Ship groaned against the battering sea as the dock workers unloaded their 'catch' of fish. Zuko was playing the Role as first mate while his Chief Engineer was playing Captain. It was hard letting him in charge but he knew almost everything about any ship. He had followed the Avatar to Gao Ling and would like to capture him as subtly as possible. After the 'Captain' received the money he dismissed them for some leave, which was the signal to spread out and find the Avatar and shot Fire into the air if they found him. It was a terrible plan since there were Earth Kingdom troops in the area. They would have to bag him quickly.
If all else fails he would take a hostage. Not the most Honorable thing to do but... he was fresh out of that.

Ignis had just run away from that water bender Katara. He was afraid of what she might say or do to him. Ignis wasn't usually afraid but his mind was not clear and he didn't want to be outcasted or persecutated because of his nationality. Ignis stopped running after being once again in the crowds of Earth Kingdom villagers in the small city of Gaoling.
Ignis walked through constantly turning back looking just incase Katara followed him. Ignis looked at the bay and saw busy fisherman. Then a certain group caught his eye. A group of men but a young man there. He was dressed in fisherman or sailor attire too but there was something about the teen about a year older than Ignis. The young man had small red marks by his eyepatch. Ignis instantly recognised the burn wounds and the man's face. It was the banished prince of the Fire Nation: Prince Zuko. That must have meant the Avatar must not be that far away. But Avatar hunting was not for today, his mind was weak and confused and some of his wounds not fully healed. Ignis surveyed Zuko standing a few feet away from Zuko and his crew.

Zuko walked along with his crew to the edge of the docks. He scanned the crowd, it was made up of a couple other fishing crews coming in for the day. Zuko tried his best to act normal. He smiled at a couple of people he saw two very pretty Earth Kingdom Girls blush as they eyes him. His eye patch was itching his eye but hopefully it hid his scar at least somewhat. He looked into the crowd. He saw a scuffed up teenager that looked oddly familiar... he almost looked like the Agni Kai Duelist Ignis. He made eye contact. It couldn't be him he walked on. He spotted a girl wearing blue. It wasn't that rare around here but she looked familiar. The crowd blocked him from getting a better view.

Breathing hard, Katara finally emerged from the small grove her head moving jerkily back and forth searching for her arrow headed friend. She quickly reached out to grab hold of a nearby cart as the ground seemed to sway beneath her feet due to her fear filled flight and intense bending. Wiping the dampness from her clammy brow with a shaking hand, the brunette let go of the rough wood that held her steady and began weaving slowly through the crowd like a lost child in search of her mother. Every now and again she would bump into an innocent bystander which would send her staggering until once more she regained her balance.
‘Aang….Sokka where are you?’ Then out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the young man from whom she’d just fled. Ignis was just standing there, staring across the scurrying pedestrians. Following his gaze, she noted that his eyes were locked onto a fisherman wearing an eye patch. 'Why is he so important to Ignis? Is he another fire bender? The brunette’s brow furrowed and her bright cerulean eyes searched far more anxiously to find Aang amid the milling throng.

Sokka was walking around the area looking for some jerky when he when he stubbed across the Katara.
“Well hello there sister!” Sokka waved franticly to get her attention. “HEYO! OVER HERE!”
Sokka began to run towards her when he saw the look on her face. He knew something was wrong and stopped to look around. “Something’s not right. And ill find out what" he thoroughly scanned the area and found nothing. He turned back to Katara with an angry face. “Katara you have to watch it with that face. You cant abuse your obvious facial expressions . It tricks people. And its not nice.” Sokka runs up to Katara and whispers to her. “Where’s Aang?”

Zuko forgot about the girl and pressed on into the city. He should be able to spot the Avatar and his Cohorts in the market district. He needed a better disguise. He slipped into the thickness of the crowd and entered a back alley. He pulled off his eye patch and placed over his scarred eye a cloth that covered the burn completely. He then saw a beggar with a hat.
"I'll give you 2 silver pieces for your hat." Zuko said to him. The man stuttering removed his hat Zuko gave the man the coins and took the hat with a bow. The Man got up and went to the market, probably to buy food for his family.
"Wait!" Zuko shouted after him. He turned looking happy. Zuko handed him 3 gold pieces of Earth Kingdom money.
"Take It.. you need it more than me," Zuko said smiling. The Man bowed and ran for the market. Zuko felt righteous... but he crashed realizing that if the man had discovered his true identity he would hate him regardless of any money he gave. That and his true purpose in this town, to capture the Avatar... the worlds last hope over from the total domination of the Fire Nation. He brushed away that thought from his mind. He would have his honor restored and he would become the next great Fire Lord.
He walked through the streets keeping a low profile looking for the Avatar. Gaoling was a fairly big city... it also was home to the Bei Fong Family.
(Zuko looks like he did in Season 2 while he was on the run. He is growing out his hair to form it into a Knot once more.)

Ignis then spotted Katara and soon another boy with the same complexion as her. He appeared about fifthteen also. Ignis feared that he would be blasted with the water and ice again. Ignis rubbed his hands softly thinking about them being frozen solid again. Ignis could easily escape that kind of waterbending but what if she increased her power and chi flow..
Ignis then thought about going to get his belongings, but to get to the apartment he rented, he would need to get past Zuko, due to the docks leading to the Apartment. Ignis took a deep breath and kept his head down. He walked as quickly as he could through the docks but took a small and brief glance at Zuko as he passed him, a few feet away. Ignis then for a few seconds stared at Katara before sighing and hoping Zuko didn't fully recognise him.

The water bender had been flicking her gaze back and forth between Ignis and the fisherman when a familiar voice growled near her right ear. Turning her head, she heard Sokka blustering about her facial expressions tricking people. Her azure eyes blinked a few times as she tried to make some sort of sense from his comment. “Sokka wha..??” she started but at hearing her brother’s whispered inquiry she grabbed his arm in panic. "What do you mean? You two were together!! Didn’t Momo warn you? There are fire benders here..well at least one.. and where there’s one there has to be more!”
Jerking her head back to where she’d seen Ignis, she found only a few children tossing about stones. “He was just here! “ she whispered her thoughts aloud. Katara, in her desperation began shaking poor Sokka in between each statement, “Where was he last? What were you doing leaving him? He can’t be by himself ..not with that..that maniac Prince after him! We have to find him Sokka!”

Ken Wasn't sure, why did they stop in gaoling specifically/, And what as he rumor of two firebenders around, He shrugged it off, He had voted to stay with appa whilst they were in town, Although it weren't Needed, H sat in silence on Appa's back, He had gotten loads of sleep lready, but getting more wasnt exactly harmfull
As he grew uncomferable he grabbed his bag and moved out towards where the sea Area was, He could smell the salt. As he made way he found a nice cliff That was about a 2 minute walk, He took a deep breath, before moving into the village, He made way seeing un-peculiar faces, But one stood out, e glard at him, a fiur he had met somewhat about a month ago, Maybe less or more, as he passed he stopped
"The feilds on the outskirts of Gaoling, Be there." He said quietly to 'Zuko', Although he didn't actually know his name, H then proceeded to the outskirts, and into a feild full of life, Plants grass and tree's
'Pretty dense He said whilst smilin, If they fouht here, Althouh he didnt want to destoy it's nature, He would lose, He could suck out the waer from tree's and plants, Brilliance.
[He knows how to Draw out water from the air, And in-animate objects, as lon as they have a source of water, Crrently cannot Bloodbend. Zuko]

Zuko stopped as the Waterbender from the Southern Air Temple walked past him and challenged him. He Couldn't reveal himself but he couldn't back down from a fight... especially when the man had challenged him before.
Zuko turned and followed Ken at a Distance. He hoped that the water bender wasn't that strong. Ken was examining the field and faced Zuko. A gust picked up and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Zuko could feel the Autumn Sun beat on his back. 'Fuel to the Fire'
Zuko said not a word. Ken knew he was who he was and no one else was around. He would just rely on his men to spot the Avatar.

(Fifty Bucks on Ken)
Ignis as he walked to his apartment block, let his breath out in relief Zuko didn't recognise him. But when he looked again, Zuko was walking away with Zuko. Ignis would follow them soon. Ignis walked into the apartment block and said to the lady at the front desk. "Um, I need to check out..Something's come up." Ignis said. "Why certainetly sir." The lady said.
Ignis walked up to his room and put all his belongings into his into a sack-like bag. Ignis turned the sack into a Knot around him to carry behind him. Ignis handed in his roomkey and left. Ignis then walked back to the spot he was ten miniutes ago and went into the woods, going straight past Sokka and Katara, though not noticing them. Ignis walked into the forest and saw Zuko and another person with water tribe clothing. Ignis hid behind the tree and would know if it was time to strike.

[ I now it's On, but your gonna swatted like a fly ]
LKen was still lookin around at the Tree's, and flowers, He then turned around to see the man standing there
"I have three things to say, One, Hello and my name is Ken, Yours, Two, W are evenly matvched, i have the feild while you hav the sun, Three how about we make a e, If i win, then you will stop huntin Aang for two months and learn to lighten up, If i lose theni will do you one deed, and it can be anything "
[Litterally, Anything]
he finished, before letting his voice trail off, he then took off his shirt, And assumed a old waterbendin form, He swished his arms around tee times, Most of the plants around him whithered away, It was a massive circle of black, He water crawled down to the ground, And 6 vines appeared
"I Expect 6 Tail would be enough to defeat you" he said in a soft voice, but then he noticed somethin different about him, an odd aura, He then drooped down and took a different Form, Some of thewaer clung onto one of his arms, and made a swor like arm around him, He turned it into ice, Both of his arms beared with ice Swords clung onto each arm
"Who goes first?"

{ooc: Ken, please use better grammar. It makes it really hard to figure out what you mean.}
The small arrow-headed boy walked around the village of Gaoling as he searched for his friends. "Where could they be..." he thought to himself as he turned his head from left to right, looking all around to see if either Katara or Sokka was near. There were too many people walking through the streets, it would be hard to find anyone that he would recognize.
The airbender pushed past people, he grabbed the arms of some random strangers as he moved his way through the crowd so that he could check to make sure it wasn't someone he knew. "Kataraa, Sokkaa..." Aang called out as he walked. He didn't want to yell too loud but they wouldn't hear him if he was too quiet either.
Suddenly, strange monkey-like noises could be heard as they got closer and closer to Aang. "Momo?" he was surprised to see the lemur. It climbed up onto him and made it's way to his shoulder. "What is it? Where's Katara?" he asked his furry friend.

Zuko stood with his hat covering his eyes and the cloth bandanna over his scarred eye. Ken Introduced himself then he set the conditions for the fight. Zuko starred at him with his uncovered eye through the straw hat. Ken drained the water from the plants around him. Zuko had never seen anyone do that technique before. He formed six water whips and mumbled something, Zuko didn't care to catch it. He paused and went into a different form. Swords of ice formed around his arms so he resembled a blue praying mantis. Zuko didn't want to disrespect such a formidable foe.
"I'm am the Banished Prince Zuko, Son of Fire Lord Ozai. I am forced to capture the Avatar in order to bring him back home, but... I will agree to your terms." Zuko said while removing his hat and bandanna. He settled into a more traditional fighting stance. He had his eyes closed, he tried to remember some of the words of wisdom his Uncle tells him. He couldn't afford to let the Avatar go for 2 months but he was now honor bound. He had to think, think back to...
"You will find your destiny someday Prince Zuko... Your true destiny..." Zuko remembered his uncle say as they were searching the southern water tribe some time before he spotted the Avatar. Zuko had to limit Ken's Water Supply. He looked around the field... he had to eliminate a huge area of water. He made a sweeping kick low to the ground that sent out a wave of destruction out from Zuko. Many Plants burned it spread quickly but eventually fizzled out. Zuko didn't want to cause such destruction, but he had to. The flame didn't harm Ken but did cause a bit of precipitation to accumulate on his blades of ice.

[ Sorry Aang, New keyboard = Stiff keys = bad gramar, Etc ]
Ken watched as he set into a fighting stance, He sighed, efore going into his own traditional Fighting styl, it had took him years to complete ; Ice mantice, if lookin properly, you could see that the swords were bending slightly, Like a mantice, he then jumped back a a fizzle of fire burning away the plants, He smiled
' Plants and tree's aren't my only source, Though it will be hard due to the hot air today, If it comes down to it that is. ' He thouht strategically
" Clever, At least you Use your brain " he replied to him, He looked at him more carefully, Observing him for any weaknesses
" I Must say, You are brave to fight me, specially as you are going by my word...Honor Bound " He said to him, before going to charge, Before he got any closer, He wnt to slice at him, Bu feinted the attack and jumped to his side, H laid his arm back before throwing it at thin air, The arm held ice sword became smaller, And shards flew out of it towards Zuko
