Chapter Three: The Avatar Has Returned
"Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar could stop them, but when the world needed her most she vanished. A hundred years have passed and my brother and I discovered the avatar, an Airbender named Gyawa. And although her Airbending skills are great she still has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone. But I believe Gyawa can save the world."

We all watched as Aang and Katara came back from that accident, the children were all excited Aang was back but the adults had a different approach.
"Aang what did you do?" I asked running up.
"He signaled the Fire Navy, didn't you?! You're leading them straight to us aren't you?!" Sokka pointing at the poor little Airbender.
"Aang didn't do anything, it was an accident." Katara said, trying to defend Aang.
"Yeah we were on a ship and there was this booby trap and well... we boobied right into it." Aang added as he scratched his bald head, all innocent-like.
"Katara, you shouldn't have gone on that ship. Now we could all be in danger!" Gran Gran argued.
"Don't blame Katara, I brought her there. It's my fault." Aang looked down in quilt.
"Aang... I think it's best if we leave. We've overstayed our welcome." I said bowing to Gran Gran.
"No, you can't leave! Don't you see Aang and Gyawa have brought us something we haven't had in a long time. Fun." Katara tried to convince the villagers.
"Fun?! We can't fight Firebenders with fun!" Sokka hissed back.
"You should try it sometime." Aang chirped.
"Get out of our village. Now!" The Water Tribe boy gritted through his teeth.
"I think Gyawa is right, I think it's best if the Avatar leaves." Gran Gran said nodding at me.
"Fine! Then I'm leaving too. Come Guys let's go." Katara shouted in a voice like she was about to break.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Sokka asked in a brotherly manner.
"To find a Waterbender. Gyawa is taking me to the North Pole." Katara replied as we started walking over to Appa.
"Katara, you sure about this? You should think this through." I said before I got on Appa.
"Katara, would you really choose them over your Tribe? Your own family?" Sokka asked making Katara stop.
"Katara, I don't want to come between you and your family."
"So you're leaving the South Pole? This is goodbye?" The Water Tribe girl asked in disappointment.
"I guess. Thanks for everything."
"And penguin sledding with me." Aang added.
"Where will ya'll go?"
"it's time we went home. Then we'll see if it's been a hundred years." I said before sitting down on Appa's saddle.
"It was nice meeting everyone!"
"Let's see your bison fly now, Air boy." Sokka mocked with his arms crossed.
"Come on Appa, you can do it. Yip yip." Aang ordered but he just groaned.
"Yeah I thought so." Sokka remarked before a little girl ran up with tears in her eyes.
"Aang, don't go! I'll miss you." She said with a cute little voice.
"I'll miss you too." Aang replied talking more to Katara.
I was the third wheel there, even if I was the Avatar.
"Come on, boy." Aang said, leading him to walk away.
~*~
We found an ice wall that had cubby holes in it for us to lay in while Appa rested.
"Yeah I liked her too." Aang replied to Appa's moaning.
I paid no attention, the first step was fully realizing I was in the Avatar world. Number two was how to get little Zuzu. As the beauty was on my mind, I remember this was the first time he and the Avatar would meet. The first time we would meet.
"Zu- the village! We got to go help them." I jumped up in excitement as I saw Prince Zuko's ship.
Oh yeah! I was going to meet Iroh too!
"Appa wait here." Aang ordered, before following me.
~*~
When we got there, I told Aang to wait behind the ice for our move. We got there just time to hear.
"She'd be about this age, master of all elements!" Zuko hissed as he grabbed Gran Gran.
Aang was about to go down, however, I stopped him, knowing the perfect time to move.
Zuko threw her back before he kicked a wall of fire near them.
"I know you're hiding her!" Zuko shouted in such a high and mighty voice. Ahhhh...
Soon Sokka ran up with his spear, but Zuko quickly grabbed it and tore it to pieces within seconds. However, after Zuko's small victory Sokka's boomerang came back and hit Zuko in the head.
It didn't deliver any damage, just Zuko getting enraged. And about to actually hurt Sokka.
I fixed my hair and clothes before sliding down and ending up right in front of Zuko!
I couldn't help but grin at him, he was just so gorgeous! Everything I ever wanted in one package!
"Hey Katara, Hey Sokka." Aang said as he rode a penguin down.
"Hi guys, thanks for coming." Sokka said as he sat on the snowy ground in defeat.
Zuko took a deep breath as his men all stepped away, this was clearly the Prince's fight.
Zuko shot two flames at me, while I blocked each one with air blasts.
"You're the Airbender? You're the Avatar?!" Zuko asked in disbelief, he was expecting an old lady.
'Just take a breath, this is about to pick up.'
"I've sent years preparing for this encounter. Training, meditating, you're just a teenager!" Zuko said like I was the scum of the earth. Ouch.
"Yeah, teenagers are the worst." I replied with my grin still there I couldn't get it off.
Zuko seemed a little put off by it though.
He threw a kick of fire and I kicked air back at him, how the blast almost hit the children behind me. The fight would belong, and Aang did the right thing to leave.
"If I go with you, will you leave everyone here alone?" I asked holding out my staff.
Zuko nodded and I walked closer.
"Gyawa, no!"
"Don't do this!" Aang and Katara said both in the same tone.
"It's going to be fine." I said as I followed them on the ship. I was getting on the ship with Zuko!!!!! Pun.
"Head a course for the Fire Nation! I'm going home." I knew those words meant so much to Zuko and somehow I wasn't even thinking about Aang or Katara.
~*~
"This staff will make an excellent gift for my father. I suppose you wouldn't know of fathers, being raised by nuns. Take the Avatar to the prison hold, and take this to my quarters." Zuko said holding my staff, by now my hands were bound and we were further out.
"Hey, you mind taking this to his quarters for me." I heard Iroh say as they dragged me done below.
I knew I had to escape, the two guards who had me walked in front and behind. The perfect position.
I took a very deep breath and shot it at one and nocked the guard in front of me, then I kicked air at the other and knocking him down.
Fast, I ran up the stairs and burst threw the door to the barracks. I needed to find my staff.
Running through a few soldiers and used one's helmet to cut my ropes and let my legs free. Perfectly.
Only one door was open, and that door was Zuko's. Mah mah mah!
"Got you." I said as I saw the staff exactly where it should be.
I ran in and grabbed it only to have the door shut behind me.
"Looks like I underestimated you." Zuko hissed as he shut the door.
"Had anyone ever told you to have the best look'in face?" I asked with a grin, Zuko took it as an insult about his scar and yelled before throwing a huge fireball at me.
I air blasted threw it and shot again.
Zuko moved to the side and blasted again. I threw and punched the air at his feet. He jumped up and landed behind me, I quickly turned around to use my staff as an air bat and it pushed him to the wall. He threw a fireball and then kicked a fire blast.
I moved to the side and jumped in the air and landed right next to him. He stepped to the side but I stepped to his back where he couldn't hit me.
He tried several times to hit me but I was moving with his back too good. I couldn't believe I was keeping.
He ran away to the side and threw a fireball with his feet. I quickly threw a fist of air at his chest, which knocked him to the floor on his bed.
Then I used my staff to push the bed against the wall and upon the ceiling with Zuko on it.
Without another second I ran out. I went up to the deck and ran out while turning my staff into a glider.
I was flying through the sky to have Zuko grab my foot and with much effort dragged me back down to the ship.
We collapsed on the deck and when I got back on my feet I heard Appa groaning.
"Aang!" I shouting as I looked up to see Aang, Sokka, and Katara.
"What is that?!" Zuko asked as he stood back up.
However Zuko didn't hesitate to throw a fireball, and a fiery kick, and another fireball.
I blocked each one but the fourth one I didn't see.
Zuko shouted as he threw a compacted fire blast at my chest. I used air to brake the flame so it wouldn't deal much damage, but the blow knocked me off the ship. I fell in the ice-cold water, hearing Aang shouting.
"Gyawa! No! Gyawa! Gyawa!"
Just then something inside me clicked. I felt powerful and unkillable.
I rose up in the Avatar State.
Using water bending, I hit the ship with a wave of water, knocking everyone on it off.
After I came out of it and fell in the ship as I felt weak. "Gyawa, are you okay?" Aang said as he knelt beside me.
"I... I'm fine. Hey guys, thanks for coming." I muttered as I put my head on Sokka's lap.
"Well, I couldn't let you have all the glory." Sokka scoffed back.
"I dropped my staff."
"Got it!" Sokka replied running over to get it.
Aang and Katara grabbed me and put me on Appa, while Katara went back down. I heard Sokka shout out to Katara, she must have frozen his feet.
"Hurry up, Sokka!" I heard Katara shout as she climbed on Appa.
"I'm just a guy with a boomerang. I didn't ask for all this flying, and magic!" Sokka pitied as he broke the ice on his feet.
"Yip yip." Aang said as Sokka walked on with my staff.
I looked up to see Zuko and Iroh made a huge fireball and threw it right at us. I got at the end of the fire and with my glider and a lot of air, I hit it to the mountainside, each collapsed on Zuko's ship. Aang, Sokka, and Katara all cheered me on, while I stood with the wind in my hair.
"How did you do that? With the water?! It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen." Katara asked in amazement.
"The Avatar State gave me the power, I didn't really know what I was doing." I replied sitting in a corner on Appa.
"Gyawa, the world's been waiting for the Avatar to return and finally put an end to this war."
"I know, I just don't know where to start." I replied looking at the sunset.
"According to legend you need to master water, then, earth, then fire, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well if we go to the North Pole, you can master Bending. And Sokka, I'm sure you'll get to knock some fire bender heads on the way." Katara said making all of us happy.
"I'd like that, I'd really like that." Sokka replied in his way.
"Then we're in this together."
"Alright, but before Gyawa learns Waterbending, we have some serious business to attend to. Here, here and here." Aang said pulling out a map.
"What's there?" Katara as I shrugged.
"Here we'll ride the hopping llamas, then way over here we'll surf on the backs of giant Koi fish, then back over here we'll ride the hog monkeys, they don't like people riding them. But that's what makes it fun!" Aang explained with a huge, innocent, cute, smile. And I knew this was really all happening. I was really in the Avatar World, I could really be at least friends with Zuko!
