"This is bad. This is really bad." I frantic as we were flying that night, looking for Zuko's ship.

"Calm down, Gyawa, will find them. We have to." Aang replied.

"This is all my fault, if we had all gone-"

"You don't know that."

"You don't know that. Argh! Why does everything mess up all the time?!" I shouted in the air.

~Zhao POV~

"Admiral, the traitors have been dealt with. What now, sir?" The captain asked me, as I glared at the rising sun.

"Now, we follow the trail of failure." I replied, with my back to him. I knew if I found the Prince, I found the Avatar. For now.

~Zuko POV~

"Let us out of here, you scarred freak!" Sokka shouted at me.

But I had no intention of doing so, they were the leverage I needed for the Avatar to come to me.

"As soon as Gyawa finds you, she'll make you wish you hadn't been born!" Katara snarled, as she struggled in her chains.

I told the guards to tie her legs and hands, I knew better than let a Waterbender free like that.

"As soon as she finds me, she'll wish she wouldn't have been born. You're bait, nothing more!" I hissed at them.

"That's what you think! She'll defeat you, you ponytailed bastard!"

"Who you calling ponytail? look in the mirror, you Water Tribe peasant!" I shouted back to Sokka.

"You're an angry boy, who's going to live alone the rest of his life!-" I heard Katara shout as I closed the door on them.

"Are you sure about this, Nephew?" Uncle asked me as we now stood in the hallway.

"More sure of it than anything, Uncle." I walked out to the deck. I knew now I just had to wait.

~Gyawa POV~

By now it was day time, we had been looking all night. I was still freaking out.

"Look!" Aang shouted as he pointed at the ship I needed to see.

"Good, now let's get them back!" I said, clenching fists.

"Take Appa in fast." I ordered as we approached.

There was nothing when we landed. No soldiers, no Zuko.

"This is bad." I almost whispered to Aang as we kept our stances.

"Let's just get them out of here." He replied.

"I don't think that's going to be so easy." I snarled back.

We started walking down to the prison hold, it was dead silent.

Just when we were rather far from the second door, it shut behind us.

We looked back in front of us to see Firebenders.

"What do we do now?" Aang asked, as we held out our staffs.

"Keep going! We still need to find Katara, and Sokka." I shouted back as we blocked their fire blasts.

I struck a huge air wall at them and let myself through.

Meanwhile Aang used an air ball to get through.

We ran for sometime, through soldiers now and then.

"This is it!" I shouted, stoping right in front of the door.

I blasted it and walked through with Aang.

"Gyawa! Aang!" Katara and Sokka gasped.

"Let's get you out of there."

"Behind you!" Sokka shouted.

I looked back to see Zuko locked the door behind us.

"Oh no." Aang gasped.

"Yes." Zuko snarled back.

I threw an airblast and walked back to the cell. "Aang, get them out." I ordered, blocking fire balls.

I kicked air while he blocked by punching more fire. We blocked and countered each other till we both went for a bending punch. As my air hit his fire, we both went flying back from the power of the clash.

"You won't win!" Zuko hissed as he got back up.

"Sounds like you're saying that to yourself. What's the matter? Afraid I'll beat you like I have before?!" I replied as took my stance again.

"You won't be so snotty when you're in a Fire Nation prison!" Zuko snapped as he took his own stance.

"Not gonna happen, pretty boy!" I shouted as I kicked air at his chest.

He moved to the right, dodging it.

By this time Aang got them out and they were almost just watching.

Zuko was close enough to grab the person closest to him, Katara.

He grabbed her tight and put a fireknife at her neck.

"Wait!" Aang shouted.

"Hand over yourself, and I'll let her go." Zuko hissed as the fire glowed off his narrowed golden eyes.

"Don't do it Gyawa." Katara warned.

I paused, I had a feeling Zuko definitely wouldn't do it and yet I felt like giving myself up.

But I couldn't see it, he wouldn't.

"You won't do it, I can see it in your eyes. Your not a killer." I said lowering my stance.

Zuko growled before letting Katara go, then sent a firekick at me.

I dodged it and ran to the door.

The others followed, along with Zuko.

We ran through the hallways, when we ran into old friends.

I threw an airblast at the line. Some of them fell, while the others threw fireblasts. Aang and I used our staffs to Airbend them all down.

We started running again, just then a fireblast went straight by my head.

"Go! I'll deal with him." I said as I stopped, we were almost to the door. 

Zuko kicked two fireballs. I moved to the side and walked back a bit.

"You hate this don't you?" I asked as I dodged every one of his attacks.

"Yes, I do. That's why this needs to end quickly." He hissed back, turning and kicked more fireballs.

I kicked his leg aside and pushed him down, he groaned before making fireknives and charging back at me.

I punched his arm away and put a leg behind his. When he stepped back he tripped and it was enough for me to run off.

I was now on the deck, only there was a large fight going on.

I swung air at one soldier with my staff.

Zuko ran up and punched more bursts of fury at me. I took a step back, before seeing a battle ship board.

They walked over to reveal it was "Zhao!" Zuko hissed.

"Well look at this, the Avatar and the Prince fighting. I'll make sure to tell the Fire Lord you fought bravely. But none the less, I'm here for the Air Nomad." Zhao, sassy as ever.

"You'll have to go through me Zhao!" Zuko hissed, taking his stance to fight both of us.

"Oh I count on it!" Zhao growled, as he took his stance.

All three of us looked at each other.

Unsettled, not knowing which one would strike first. I felt like I was in Good, Bad, and the Ugly.

I was the good, Zhao was the bad, and Zuko was the beautiful.

Zhao threw a massive firewall at Zuko, who slid through it.

Zhao then threw four fireblasts at me. I jumped to the side and ran to Zuko's side.

Zuko kicked fire at me, I moved back and used Airbending to punch back.

Zuko flung back, till he regained balance and kicked a wall of fire at Zhao.

Zhao punched threw it and sent fire at both of us. I hopped to his back, he quickly kicked fire from the back of his feet, and then turned around with a fist of flame.

I leaped back, I didn't see it coming. I blasted a kick at him, then I turned and threw a ball of spinning air at Zhao.

Zhao was caught of balance and in defense he threw fire at both of us. Zuko moved to the side and kicked flames at me.

I dodged, hearing Aang calling me. I sent a wall of air at Zuko before running after Aang.

"Appa, Yip, Yip." Aang said as I climbed Appa.

I sighed as we were finally safe from fireballs and Zhao.

"Hey, why did you leave us at the village?" Sokka asked, not letting me regain peace of mind.

"Yeah, you shouldn't have gone without us. Now look what happened!" Katara scolded me and Aang.

"But everything turned out okay." Aang replied, making things even worse.

"Oh yeah, we got captured by Zuko! And you two went in the Fire Nation alone!" Katara shouted.

"We're all fine now. That's in the past." I said as I held on the saddle in fear of what one of the best Waterbenders would do to me.

"We all almost got killed!" She shouted one more time before looking down and thinking it out.

"But yeah, we are all fine now. But don't do that ever again." She said as me and Aang all gave off a smile of fear.

"Come here." She said as we all went in for a group hug,

"I'm going to sleep now. I worried all night if we wouldn't find you." I said, remembering how tired I was.
