Sky's p.o.v.

I dodge a burst of fire flung my way from Azula as I waterbend up a shield to block the rocks from the Dai Li we have to fight as well. I water bend ice daggers at Azula as she blocks all but the one that slices her top knot.

"Your aim is atrocious.", she taunts. I'd blood bend her but it takes a lot of energy and I have a lot of benders to fight. Plus I'll need some reserve strength for the lightning bolt.

"Hey I was just doing you a favor and fixing your stupid hair.", I say rolling my eyes as she throws lightning at me and I use another ice wall to block which I bend from the water in the air. Then I fire my bow at some earth benders.

She's ticked which is how I want her, Ticked at me and loosing her cool.

"Don't worry I'm equal opportunity, I'd do the same if Sparky still had his dumb pony tail. ", I shout teasingly.

"Don't call me sparky!", he shouts blasting at me as I airbend away. Out the corner of my eye I catch Aang forming his earth tent and make sure I'm ready. I continue to fight and shoot ice daggers and block while taunting Azula. There's so many even with my addition.

"So I hear you can predict future things peasant.", Azula says as I keep alert as Aang starts to float and I move my positions

"Watch who your calling a peasant princess.", I say "We're on equal footing."

"I'll kill the Avatar if it's the last thing I do.", she says.

"And I'll fix that stupid top knot if it's the last thing I do. Seriously fire whomever does your hair it looks stupid.", I say as her eyes flash anger as I note the motions of her preparing to fire the lightning I shoot my self up using air bending the moment she fires and next thing I know is I hear screams one of them being mine as the lightning enters my body as I crash into a body making us both plummet only for the water to catch us both as I feel the lightning fill me.

"Aang! Sky!", I hear Katara's shouts as my world starts to go dark as I get brought out between consciousness and unconsciousness.

"Aang, Sky, Katara what happened!", Comes Sokka's voice

"Azula shot them, but I think Aang's just got a concussion from getting knocked when Sky took the hit of lightning full on.", Katara says as a pair of warm arms wrap around me, and hands search my injuries and soon I'm on something soft as I feel Appa fly. I feel a pair of lips kiss my forehead "Baby please be ok."

"I'll take us to chameleon bay.", Sokka says as I feel a warmth where my heart is "Sky keep fighting I'll get us safe just don't die on me."

Sokka's p.o.v.

When Katara came up in a wave holding Aang bleeding in her arms and pulling Sky also unconscious I ran and grabbed her from my sister pushing her hair out of her ashen face as she struggles to stay conscious.

"Azula shot them, but I think Aang's got a concussion from the impact of Sky collided with him after she took the lightning bolt full on.", my sister says as we get them on Appa I lay her carefully on the bison seeing to it she's comfortable, before kissing her head.

"Baby please be ok.", I say heading to the head of the bison before I take the reigns.

"I'll take us to chameleon bay, Sky keep fighting, I'll get us safe just don't die on me.", I shout.

A million thoughts rush through my head. This was the bad thing she was afraid of , Aang was gonna take that bolt and Ba se Sing would fall.

"Aang took a bad knock, he'll be out for awhile, Sky's still breathing but she's touch and go.", Katara says as we arrive at the bay.

I grab my Sky and carry her like she'll break as we take her and Aang to a medic tent. I lay her down gently as my sister and the healers work on her and Aang.

The next days I only left her side to work on invasion plans or for her to get cleaned. I held her hand and told her about my day, and the invasion plans. Eventually we stole a fire nation ship and were out to sea disguised as fire nation troops.

I nearly jumped for joy when I felt her hand grip mine, during this time Aang was still out, but the world thinks he's dead.

Today she was gripping my hand again as my dad entered while I stroked her hair as she murmured lightly.

"How's she doing?", he says.

"I'm not sure, she's got some color in her face today, and she's gripping my hand. But she's still not awake.", I say "I just want her to wake up and start teasing me. She could even tell me a crazy story."

"She's a brave girl, strong too. I wouldn't be surprised if she woke up soon. ", he says "But son, when she does, I'm gonna seriously suggest you consider starting her betrothal necklace. "

My eyes widen as I look at him "You mean we have your blessing.", I say in awe.

"You won't meet another girl like her in a lifetime.", he says as I nod still shocked.

"Yes sir, you can bet I'll not let her go after this. I'm not letting her out of my sight." I say as he chuckles.

"Well good luck with that cause girls like her can't be held back. They have to much spirit, just like the dual benders in the old stories.", my da says.

"There were stories about the dual benders?", I ask curious.

"I'd hope so, they're a lost tribe of the Southern water tribes. They were led by the Chief's family which was the Nagamo's which means singer.", my dad says "They imbued the spirit of both groups of benders. When they were sent away it was during Avatar Bato's time. They vanished and were stripped of there bending because the people weren't following there leaders and were starting to attack other southen tribes under a dissenter. But the chief was offered a chance to stay, but he said no his fate was with his people. As they left they repented and followed him, for they didn't know how to live without bending. But the princess of the tribe, was a singer an rallied them with her song. It was stated if they abandoned there leaders again that the people would dissipate and be stripped of there princess again."

I looked over at Sky "From what Sky's told me there not worthy of her, she belongs with me now.", I say looking at my dad firmly as he pats my back.

"Then when this war is over I'll look forward to announcing your betrothal to the tribe.", he says eyes twinkling.
