"So what kind of trouble is Aang in?" Katara asked, with a concerned tone as we flew to Ba Sing Se.

"I don't know, it was foggy." I quickly replied.

"It would be nice if your avatar powers could be just a little more specific from time to time." Sokka remarked before we looked over to see earth rumbling and moving in a running position.

"What is that?!" Sokka asked, as we flew closer. When we did we saw it was Toph, she didn't see us. "Need a ride?" Sokka yelled, knocking her out of concentration and she fell down.

"Ahh." We all ohed when we saw how bad that fall was.

                                    ~*~

"So how did it go with the guru? Did you master the Avatar State?" Toph asked, as she clung on Sokka.

"Uh." I replied thinking back to...

"No Gyawa! By leaving now you have locked the chakra if you leave now you won't be able to go in the avatar state at all!"
"Gyawa, you okay?" Sokka asked.

"I'm great. completely mastered it." I chuckled before remembering what was going to happen.

                                   ~*~

We flew in the palace and ran in Long Feng's office. "Where is he?! Where's Aang?!" I yelled, bursting in.

"I assure you I don't know what you're talking about." The bastard replied, acting innocent.

"Like hell! Hand him over!" He didn't answer, only gave me a look that told me everything.

"Your working with that snake aren't you?" I growled.

"Dai Li, escort the Avatar and her friends out of the city. They have over stayed they're welcome."

I immediately felt earth hand cuffs around my arms and heard the others trying to get out of theirs. I concentrated on the cuff and fire blasted them off. I was actually surprised I pulled that off.

I then sent a column at Long Feng, he jumped up and threw a small boulder at me. I kicked four fire blasts at him, he quickly jumped to my back. I was about to turn around and kicked fire behind me but a boulder hit me in the back.

I scream from the pain and landed on the ground with my hands cuffed again.

                                   ~*~

"Great. Just great." Sokka mocked as we all sat in different cells in a metal prison.

"Shut up, Sokka. You're not helping the situation." I hissed, folded arms.

"Yeah and how did we get in this situation? Umm... oh yeah that's right— because you just had to make a deal with Long Feng!" Sokka yelled from the cell next to me. I punched at the wall and I heard Sokka step back.

Totally worth it.

"Toph, what are you doing?" Katara asked, as we could hear some metal moving.

"Metal bending." She answered with pride.

"Wait someone's coming!" Sokka whispered.

We all tried to look out of our cells to see who it was but we couldn't. "Actually I know who it is. It's an old friend of mine." Toph chimed, unlike herself. He walked closer and we saw it was Iroh.

"Glad to see you're okay." Toph said with a smile while Katara and Sokka gasped.

"I need your help." Iroh stated with a dread.

"You guys know each other?!" Sokka pointed through the bars.

"I met him in the woods once and knocked him down, then he gave me tea and very good advice." Toph answered as Katara and Sokka were still freaking out.

"Princess Azula is here in Ba Sing Se."

"She must have Aang." Katara gasped, leaning on the bars.

"My nephew as well." Iroh added.

"Then we'll work together and rescue Aang and Zuko." I replied with a hidden smirk. Oh yeah I was going to save the hot boy in distress.

"Wow there, you lost me at Zuko." Sokka said pointing through the bars at me.

"I know how you must feel about my nephew, but believe when I tell you there is good inside him." Iroh tried to explain to a stubborn boy.

"Good inside him isn't enough. Why don't you come back when it's outside him too, okay?"

"Sokka, Aang is in trouble. Not to mention Ba Sing Se, working together is our best option." When I finish I suppose Sokka shook his head, I couldn't see.

Just then Toph's door burst open and she walked through and did the same to Katara's door.

"Amazing." Iroh said, as we were all amazed.

"Sifu Toph." I smirked after she opened my door.

"I brought someone along who might be able to help us." Iroh calmly said, as he opened Sokka's door with a key.

Just boring.

We ran up to a Dai Li agent who was tied up. "Azula and Long Feng are plotting a coup they going to overthrow the earth king." He suddenly spilt, with fear in his eyes.

"Aang, where are they keeping him?!" Katara interrogated with clenched fists.

"In the crystal catacombs, of Ba Sing Se deep beneath the palace." We ran as fast as we could out of the prison.

                                   ~*~

"Well what do you know, there is an ancient city down there. But it's deep." Toph said, letting go of the ground she just knelt on.

"We should split up, Gyawa, Katara, you go with Iroh and look for Aang and the angry jerk, no offense." Sokka pointed at Iroh.

"None taken."

"And I'll go with Toph to warn the Earth King of Azula's coup." Sokka now held his chin like he was so wise. We jumped down the hole and I earth bended more in.

"So..." I started to say as we walked down the dark tunnel Iroh lit with a fire ball. "Toph says you make great tea? And good advice." I asked to make conversation.

"Both come with proper aging. What can I help with?" He asked, Katara walking behind us.

"Well I went to see this Guru, he told me to let go of someone I loved. I was willing to do it, but it just didn't feel right." I softly stated, remembering how dreadful it looked see Zuko just flow away.

"Perfection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to chose happiness and love." Iroh replied making me feel a little better.

I earth bended more before asking another question. "But that's the thing, I don't even know if he wants to be with me. What if I just made a huge mistake?"

"I don't know the answer, sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light on the end of the tunnel but if you just keep moving." Before Iroh finished I earth bended to reveal the crystal catacombs. "You will come to a better place."

I jumped down and felt the earth under us to get vibrations. "They're this way." I said, as I started to run to the wall. I then blasted earth through it.

When the rock cleared we saw Aang on top of Zuko pulling his hair, and Zuko pushing Aang's face away. I cleared my throat and they both looked at me like two little boys caught fighting by their mother.

"Aang!" Katara gasped, running up to hug him.

"I knew you'd come for me." Aang said while Iroh hugged Zuko. I wish I could get in on that hug.

"Uncle, I don't understand what are you doing with the avatar?!" He almost shouted, in his smooth warm voice.

"Because you and Gyawa are meant to be together, Nephew!" Iroh rose his troubled brow.

"Saving you that's what!" Aang bickered as he lunged at Zuko, he hissed before he was about to lunge at Aang but Iroh stopped him.

Completely nocking me out of that good dream, I mean I was about to die! Give. Me. Slack.

"Zuko, it's time we talked." Iroh still held Zuko's chest. "Go help your other friends, we'll catch up with you." Iroh said, before we ran out.

I looked back at Zuko one more time, to my surprise he was looking back at me, with concerned golden eyes. I didn't know what to make of it but I started to run off with Katara and Aang.

"We have to find Toph and Sokka." I yelled as we were running for the exit. As we ran blue flame hit in front of us and I turned to see it was Azula.

I kicked fire at her, while she jumped up and landed on a column. I then sent a boulder at the column she landed on. She jumped down and stood in front of us, holding all stances. 

                               ~Zuko POV~

As I walked up, Gyawa and Azula were in a stand off. I didn't quit know which side to take, so I punched a fire ball in the middle. They all turned to look and see it was me.

I glanced between my sister and Gyawa.

A girl who had shown that she actually cared about me even if I tried to capture her ever since the day we met.

Or my sister, someone who the only reason I feel anything towards her is because she's blood related.

But Azula offered everything I ever wanted, Gyawa only offered the slight chance of a new life I didn't know if I wanted.

And yet as I looked at Gyawa, she seemed like she knew how this would play out. She had somber eyes, seeming to know exactly what I was thinking.

I looked over to Azula who also knew how this would go, but she had a conniving look on her slight glare.

I wanted to side with Gyawa, I knew she would except me, but I had to remember she was the Avatar not just some girl I could grow attached to.

Knowing what I had to do, I was just afraid to do it. I just wouldn't hurt Gyawa, or capture her.

I flicked my eyes at Aang and repeatedly shot fire balls at him with fury. Meanwhile Gyawa threw fire blasts at Azula.

Aang created a wind model of himself and sent it at me. I had no idea how to block it and tumbled to the ground, rolling over a few times. Aang jumped after me and sent a wind blast but I quickly rolled over and let out fire at him as he was getting up.

Aang took flight and I quickly got on my feet and blasted fire at him as he hopped from column to column. Aang crouched down on crystals attached to the ceiling of the cave and looked down on me as I was making a compact fire blast at him. Aang tried to hop away but the blast was too strong and broke through.

I made fire whips and cut the crystals Aang was trying to stand on, but he quickly moved to another crystal. I kept swinging them around at Aang who was on the run. As my fight became more of a chase I looked over to see Azula was getting over run by Gyawa and Katara.

Gyawa was throwing a boulder, air, and fire all at the same time. I ran over and fire blasted the rock away.

She immediately kicked water at me, I fire blasted through. Azula then kicked flames at her back, Gyawa kicked a boulder at her as she fell to the floor in pain.

I had the shot to blast at her when she was struggling to get up but instead I just wanted to help her!

What had she done that was so wrong??

It was the worst feeling, I was the one doing that to her. Hurting her.

Katara threw a water whip at me while Aang air blasted at Azula to protect Gyawa.

I made whips of my own and our whips began to clash. After I realized neither one of us was going to gain an advantage I took a stance and threw fire balls at her. Katara blocked a few more attacks before Azula threw a fire blast at her at the same time as I, she shielded herself with a water wall.

I and Azula shot at her again but this time her water wall wasn't strong enough and she was sent to the ground.

Aang rose out of a hole and started to charge at us, but not before a Dai Li agent earth bended up at him. knocking him down, Aang went flying off, to look up and see tens of Dai Li.

Katara stood up to be surrounded by them, she quickly made a water octopus and kept it moving around herself.

Meanwhile I had no idea where Gyawa was, she just disappeared.

As the thought came it went, looking around for her, a beam of light shot up to the ceiling, all the crystals reflecting it.

It was a rather beautiful sight, if it wasn't for a fight. The main crystal reflecting that light Gyawa burst out of.

Her eyes were glowing, her hair dancing in the wind, as her eyes looked straight to Azula.

I had already seen this, but the Avatar State was always something I feared.

It wasn't the Gyawa I thought I might know. She moved an arm at Azula, but my sister didn't hesitate to strike.

Before I knew it, Gyawa was hit with lightning, and was free falling.

I gasped, that was not suppose to happen!

The light in her eyes dimmed as she kept falling. I wanted her to get back up, I wanted to help her somehow.

But I chose my side, and I would have to live that even if every thought and muscle in my body told me other wise.

It was horrific, a girl who wanted nothing more than peace, falling to her death by my sister's hand. A girl who actually cared for her enemies.

Enemies that needed her out just for their only selfish befit. It wasn't right. None of it was!

Before I did anything, water crept up my feet and soon swept me away. When the water cleared Katara and Aang had Gyawa in their arms.

We were about to approach when a fire blast hit in front of us. "You've got to get out of here! I'll hold them off for as long as I can!" Uncle shouted at them, they took Gyawa and started to walk away.

I didn't do anything, I just let them go and so did Azula.

As soon as Katara and Aang were out of there Uncle gave himself up.

He didn't look at me, and I felt a sharp dread sink in of what I just did.

I had just let Azula kill Gyawa, and let my uncle get captured. This was all wrong somehow.

                           ~Aang POV~

It was night and we were flying to Chameleon Bay. We all stared at Gyawa's lifeless body.

No movement, I wanted to shake her awake, there was no way the only other air nomad would die! She couldn't die.

Katara held her straight and grabbed her spirit water, it glowed in her hands as she put it on Gyawa's wound.

Still there was nothing, I couldn't take it.

"Try it again!" I demanded, before a glow went through her tattoos, and to my relief a sigh.

We all were relieved at the sound, but as soon as Gyawa opened her eyes, she closed them.

But it wasn't all bad, she was at least alive.

"The Earth Kingdom has fallen." The Earth King stated, as we looked out to the now Fire Nation city.

We actually lost the city of Ba Sing Se.
