Dream immediately turned to Spifey, "What do you suggest, Spifey?"

"We already have our warriors and waterbenders preparing in case of an attack, but these Fire Nation soldiers are heavy in numbers. I was thinking of mind games, but I-"

"How would mind games work in this scenario?"

"I wasn't finished, mind you. Illusions are fantastic for tricking the brain to work for your benefits, and who's a better master of illusions than the moon spirit." Spifey led Dream away from the walls of the Northern Tribe.

"What you're saying is that you want me to consult the moon spirit." Dream asked.

"Exactly, I'm glad you're getting at it." Spifey smiled. "It has been told that the Avatar has a connection to the spirit world. I need you to enter the spirit world, and ask the moon spirit for advice."

Dream frowned and stopped in his tracks, "Hold on. I've never actually been in the spirit world before; how do you know this will work?"

"Because it has too." Spifey looked at him sternly.

Sapnap rode a small boat around to the back of the Northern Water Tribe. He climbed out and followed a small pack of Turtle Seals into a small opening to the tribe's grounds. He stumbled into a small crevice. He took a moment to breath before a light, warmth caught the firebender by surprise. He began to follow the warmth.

Spifey dragged the Avatar to a small koi pond. "This is the most spiritually connected place in the tribe: The Spirit Oasis."

Dream sat down, "It's beautiful. Awful name but beautiful." He nodded to Spifey, "I'll try my best."

He then silenced himself and began to relax. Spifey stood a while away from the Avatar to give him space to think.

George rushed into the area, "The Fire Nation have begun their attack, and Master Zelk has-"

Spifey hushed George, "Quiet, he's meditating."

George looked at Dream. Seeing that he was peaceful, he lowered his voice "Oh... Is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine; he's just trying to connect to the moon spirit for guidance and help."

Dream growled, "It would help with a little silence please!" Dream sighed and back into mediation. Eternal dance. Push and pull. He heard whispers. Tui and La. Mortality... Dream thought, The koi fish! "The koi fish!" Dream repeated which surprised the two waterbenders. "Tui and La are the koi fish!"

"Well, aren't you clever." Dream turned back to see Sapnap.

"Sapnap." Dream stood in defense. George walked in front of Dream and blocked him from Sapnap. "I can take him, George."

"It's not me you want to take on." Sapnap warned before pointing behind them, "It's him." Dream and George turned back to see a Fire Nation soldier holding Spifey by the hands. Sapnap flamed his hands up, "Mega."

Mega threw the chief on the ground to sign, "I knew you would catch up, Sapnap. Congratulations." George prepared a string of water, and Dream began to bend the rocks as Mega leaned near the koi pond. "Could you imagine being one who has both captured the Avatar and slayed the moon."

Dream reluctantly looked at Sapnap who had a horrified expression, "What did he say." Dream demanded.

Sapnap swallowed the lump in his throat, "He's going to kill the moon spirit."

Spifey slowly sat up, "He can't! That would ruin life as we know it!"

"Mega, think about this." Sapnap warned.

"I have." Mega hoarsely chuckled into his scarf before firebending on the white koi fish. Seemingly, everyone shouted no at Mega's actions.

Dream ran into the water and held the dead koi. He rubbed a thumb over the scales as the world seemed to become black and white. "You killed Tui." His eyes glowed white as wind circled around himself, "You killed Tui!" He repeated angrily with La beginning to manifest her energy into the Avatar. She began to destroy Fire Nation ships and took Mega in her grasp. She pulled him into the tides as the Fire Nation ships tried to escape.

Spifey and George ran to the dead fish. Spifey lifted the fish in his hands, "Tui saved my life as a child. I was dying at a young age. My parents prayed to the moon for my well being. And low and behold, he kept his word."

George frowned, "You must be able to do something."

"He can." George and Spifey turned to Sapnap. He had his back turned to the two, "My mother and father told me stories of the moon. Those touched by the moon are granted powers to help the moon. With how injured Tui seems to be, it may cost your life."

Spifey looked down at the fish, "Then I'll do what I must."

George placed a hand on his shoulder, "What about the tribe?"

"I believe I'll be able to protect them more than ever." Spifey laughed. "This is for the good of the world, right? Besides the moon plays mind games- I believe I fit that role well." Spifey dove into the water and let the water take him.

La began to stop and returned to a calm state as she sensed the moon return to the sky. Dream landed down into George's arms. Dream tiredly looked up, "So, how did I do?"

George smiled, "Pretty good, Dream. Pretty good." George hugged the Avatar.

Dream hugged back, but began to look around, "Wait, where's Spifey?"

George pointed up at the moon, "Up there."

"And Sapnap?" George panicked and looked around for the bounty hunter, but he wasn't there.

Sapnap pulled slowly to a Fire Nation boat in a small, wooden boat wearing his soaked clothing. He hopped onto the boat beside his and searched for his boat. After a while of searching, he saw his ship in view. He jumped from one ship to the next until he reached his, and he pulled away from the armada. He set a course for home- the Fire Nation.

"Thank you, Avatar Dream and Master George, for your help." Master Zelk bowed.

Dream nodded, "Of course."

George bowed, "Who will lead the Northern Water Tribe now that Spifey is the moon spirit?"

Zelk smiled, "Spifey will never stop being our chief- despite how annoying he can be with his tricks, but I believe the Southern Water Tribe has a chief worthy of helping both. It's high time the Northern Tribe reunited with it's sister tribe. "

George grinned and hugged Zelk, "That's a terrific idea! We'll see you soon, Master Zelk."

Dream and George climbed onto a well fed Bird, and waved goodbye. "Good luck!" Zelk called out.
