Chapter 11- I Really Hate This Town

"So some people don't like you, big deal! There's a whole nation of firebenders who hate you. Now let's bust you out of here!" Sokka tried to convince Aang, making you nod in agreement.
"I'll say," You simply pulled the wooden panel off of your head and tossed it aside, with Twog crawling through the bars to get to you.

"I can't," Aang mumbled with a sad look.
"Come on Air boy," You groaned and leaned against the wall.
"Sure you can! A little, swish-swish-swish Airbending slice! And we're on our way!" Sokka said while making hand motions.
"I think what "Master Swish" is trying to say, is that you're supposed to be out saving the world. You can't do that locked up in here," Katara reassured the Avatar.

"I can't do that with people thinking I'm a murderer either. I need you guys to help prove my innocence," Aang told you three.
"Oh come on Air boy, they think my generation are murderers, but that's half the truth," You merely shrugged.
"How're we gonna to do that? The crime happened over three hundred years ago," Sokka crossed his arms.

"That's okay, Sokka. For some reason, I thought you were an expert detective," Aang said with a small grin, making you snort at what he was doing.
'Nothing like boosting his ego,' You thought with amusement.
"Well, I guess I could be classified as such," Sokka said with content.

"Yeah! Back home, he was famous for solving the mystery of the missing seal jerky," Katara played along.
"Everyone wanted to blame it on the polar leopard, but I figured out it was Old Man Jarko wearing polar leopard boots! See, a real eight hundred-pound polar leopard would have left much deeper tracks," Sokka rambled off, making you smile at his excitement.

'I really like it when someone talks about what they like,' You thought, brushing away the blush on your face.
"Okay, I guess I am pretty good," Sokka smiled with confidence.
"So, you'll help me with my case?" Aang said hopefully, making the other boy nod.

"Fine! But I'm going to need some new props," One moment later, Sokka wore a detective hat with a monical.
"I'm ready," You and Katara covered your mouths to prevent from laughing.
"What?" Your chuckled at his funny hat, and Katara turned to you.
"Are you coming too? You could easily get out of here," She said, but you shook your head.

"Eh, I don't want to be part of this town's stupidity. I'm staying to to annoy them," You grinned with mischief as you grabbed a cup from the ground and began to bang it against the bars.
"I want to call a defender! I have my rights! You need a warrant to arrest me! And out of my 130 arrest warrants, your town ain't one of them!" You shouted with a grin.

Sokka and Katara just laughed and ran off to find an alibi, as you and Aang sat down.
"Welp, I'm going to take a nap Air boy, wake me up when this village is burning down, I want to watch the carnage," You mumbled as you laid your head against the ground, Twig hopping on your stomach to sleep too.

"Okay, sleep well (Y/N)," Aang smiled softly at your sleeping form, but then heard something in the shadows.

"You got a bald head. Some nice tattoos. You're going to fit in real well around here,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"(Y/N), (Y/N), wake up!" You stirred awake from the voice of Aang and his shaking you awake.
"Huh? Am I dead?" You mumbled while rubbing your eyes.
"Of course not, Sokka and Katara are back, and they have an alibi!" Aang smiled, making you sit up and look out the bars, seeing the chief and the two water tribe members.

"Honorable Mayor, we've prepared a solid defense for the Avatar. We did an investigation and found some very strong evidence," Katara explained, making Aang smile, but you knew better.

"Evidence? Hmph! That's not how our court system works," The chief scoffed as you groaned in annoyance.
'I swear to Roku-' You hissed in your thoughts.
"Then how can I prove my innocence?" Aang asked him.

"Simple. I say what happened, then you say what happened, and then I decide who's right. That's why we call it justice. Because it's "just us." The chief smugly said and walked away laughing, leaving you angry and the others shocked.

"And that's why I call it a broken system! Because your nervous system would be broken if I had the chance all those years ago!" You shouted after the chief, growling darkly, with Twig hissing at the chief.

"If we get the chance, I'm going to surround this town with lava,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You leaned your body forward at the town and the Gaang were at the place where the event happened.
"Everyone loved Chin the Great because he was so great. Then the Avatar showed up and killed him, and that's how it happened," The chief explained with sadness, but you just rolled your eyes.

"The accused will now present its argument," Aang gulped as he stood in the center, but Sokka whisper yelled at him.
"You can do it, Aang. Just remember the evidence," He reassured him.
"Right... evidence. Ladies and gentlemen... I'm about to tell you what really happened. And I will prove it with facts. Fact number one... uhhh..." Aang stammered out, not remembering what he was told.

"The footprint!" You reminded him, with Twig and Momo sitting on your lap.
"Oh, yeah. You see... I have very large feet. Furthermore... your temple matches your statue. But... I was in a painting at sunset. So, there you have it, I'm not guilty," Aang rambled out, and you just facepalmed.

"He's dead," Sokka muttered to you and Katara, in which you had an idea in your head.
"Wait," Katara and Sokka looked at you as you held up a finger.

"I have an idea, it's dumb, but maybe an Avatar can pull it off,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay Tong man, I'd like for the court to hear one last testimony," You told them with crossed arms and a blank look.
"I've already told you, it's just me and the accused. You can't call any witnesses, Descendant!" The chief tsked, but you ignored him.
"This isn't just any witness. We're going to call Avatar Kyoshi herself!" Katara smiled and revealed Aang wearing the outfit of Kyoshi.

"What are you doing?" Sokka whispered.
"Well, she is Aang's past life. Maybe wearing her stuff will trigger something," You guessed, not really knowing if your plan will work.
"I do believe in the power of stuff," He shrugged as Katara placed a hand on your leg for reassurance.

"This is a mockery of Chin Law," The chief yelled out.
"Because the law is stupid and rules are for rule people!" You shouted at him, making Katara to pull you back from killing this man.
"Please! If you could just wait one more second, I'm sure Kyoshi will be here!" Katara pleaded with him.

"Hey, everybody! Avatar Kyoshi here," Aang said, in a high pitch voice, which made you snort.
"This is ridiculous! For the murder of Chin the Great, this court finds the Avatar-" Before the chief could declare him, a huge gust of wind surrounded Aang, and you covered Twig and Momo to protect them from the wind.

You opened your eyes to see instead of Aang, it was Avatar Kyoshi herself. You gasped slightly and kneeled down to bow for her, respecting a member of the Earth Kingdom.
"I killed Chin the Conqueror. A horrible tyrant, Chin was expanding his army to all corners of the continent," She declared with an echoey voice.

"When they came to the neck of the peninsula where we lived, he demanded our immediate surrender. I warned him that I would not sit passively while he took our home. But he did not back down," She explained more as you watched in awe.

"On that day, we split from the mainland. I created Kyoshi Island so my people could be safe from invaders," With her last boom of her voice, she disappeared and Aang reappeared laying on the ground.
'Holy smokes, she was even prettier in the flesh,' You thought as you made sure Aang was okay.

"So, what just happened?" He mumbled in confusion.
"Uhhh, you kinda confessed the whole murder," You trailed off.
"And I find you, Guilty! Bring out the Wheel of Punishment!" The chief pointed a finger at him, and the people cheered.

"Sick people you all are," You spat, feeling Katara pull you back.
"The accused will now spin the Wheel of Punishment to determine his sentence," A guard spoke lowly as Aang gulped a little.
"I said I would face justice, so I will," He said and spun the wheel. The people were chanted a few punishments, and you just covered your ears.
"Looks like it's 'boiled in oil'," The guard said and the people cheered.

But before anything else happened, a handmade bomb came rolling in, and you quickly lifted a rock wall to protect the Gaang and yourself. The rhino lizards came back with the Fire Nation soldiers.
"We've come to claim this village for the Fire Lord! Now show me your leader so I may dethrone him!" The leader said as he destroyed the statue of Chin.

"Like I'll ever let you destroy this village before I do!" You grinned and send a rock wall towards them. They dodged it and came to the town to destroy it. You and the Gaang followed to defend the people, splitting up. Twig held onto you as you send a wave of lava to block a rhino lizard, and the rider fell off as the rhino lizard got spooked.

"Bye!" You grinned as you forced the ground under him to go up, sending him into the sky. The lava was gone and you hopped onto the rhino lizard.
"It's okay big guy! Let's go free your brothers and sisters!" You said and led the creature to attack the other soldiers.

Eventually, you and the Gaang led all of the rhino lizards away and the soldiers fleeing, making you sigh and cross your arms.

"Kinda hoped they did more damaged to this town,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fireworks blasted into the air as you and the Gaang stood at the center of town,
"From now on, we'll celebrate a new Avatar Day in honor of the day Avatar Aang and the Delusional Bender saved us from the Rough Rhino Invasion," The chief said happily and delighted, making you roll your eyes at his 180 actions.

"What is this?" Sokka asked them.
"That's our new festival food! Un-fried dough. May we eat it and be reminded of how on this day the Avatar was not boiled in oil," The people cheered as Twig shrugged and ate the dough.
"Happy Avatar Day, everyone," Katara meekly smiled and ate the dough.
"This is by far the worst town we've ever been to," Sokka said as you nodded in agreement.

"I'll say,"
