Chapter 38- Last Stance

"Your death... is very soon," Aunt Wu confessed, which made you raise your eyebrows a little in surprise.
"Really...?" You whispered, in which the lady nodded with sadness.

"A sharp and painful betrayal in your heart, with fire in the sky, you will feel numb and a burning sensation will surround your body for one last attempt to save a life, but will shut down and the flame to your candle will... be blown out." Aunt Wu told you, giving you a grief look.

"Oh..." You mumbled, looking down at your lap.
"I'm so sorry (Y/N)," The woman squeezed your hand lightly, but you just took a deep breath and sighed.
"Well then," You stood up and gave her a toothy smile.

"Guess I better prepare for it," Aunt Wu looked at you, dumbfounded at your response.
"You're... not going to worry about it?" She asked you, in which you just shrugged.

"Oh, I am terrified Aunt Wu, more than you can realize," You gave a short laugh, before looking outside the windows and seeing Sokka, Katara, and Aang talking to each other. You gave a soft smile before looking back at Aun Wu.

"And in all honesty, you don't even know the exact day. I will not only look back for Fire Nation, but for death too," You took a deep breath.
"But... If my death means that the gaang will be safe, then so be it," You confessed.

"Monk boy, water girl, Boomerang... Princey, Suki... Tophy... Twig... Everyone will be safe, in exchange for my own life," You told her, and Aunt Wu watched you with admiration of your sacrificial morals. She stood up, and gave you a small smile before you gave her a big hug.

"I hope that this fortune is wrong (Y/N), you are a wonderful person," She said, and you gave her a toothy grin.

"I do too, but until then, I am never going down without an epic fight,"

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

You couldn't see.

You couldn't breathe.

You couldn't talk.

You couldn't feel anything.

But you definitely know that you're falling, you could at least sense that. Why were you falling? You're supposed to be with Twig, you were going to the Wulong Forest to live your lives in solitude.

So why were you falling?

You could remember being with people, two wore blue clothing and one orange, one green and two red. You remember a giant white ball of fur and one small ball of fur... who were they?

'They... they were...'

'Friends...?'

"They were friends... they were-'

You gasped, now finally feeling and hearing everything around you. You were falling because of your brother, you were fighting him, you were here because of what happened all those years ago. You were here because of your death.

But not yet, you are not going out like this.

'I ain't dying yet,' Snapping your eyes wide open, you hissed through the pain as you shot your hand out, and the rocks on the mountain moved in your direction fast, encasing your arm.

And with one swift movement, you pulled your body up to a flat ground, and kneeled there, panting. Your body was shaking, body turning cold, and blood still being coughed out, but you had to do this.

It's was your future after all.

"You absolute fucking bitch," You spat out with venom and hatred towards your brother, as the ground started to shake violently, and the mountain began to crack.

"Be the only child (B/N), be the best boy child to die,"

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

"You know, after all of this, you never could aim a punch at me. Nevertheless an arrow," Your brother laughed, staring down at your sister, who kept shaking, breathing short breaths, and was still standing.

"Shame you never put up much of a fight. I almost feel pity for you," Your brother shrugged, before giving a cruel smile and lighting his hand on fire.

"Oh well, it was only fair that I took out the second strongest one in the family. Oh how baby sister would say if she saw you like thi," He smirked and let the fire grow, which made your sister close her eyes as she let a tear fall down her face.

"I'm sorry (Y/N)," She whispered, allowing the monster of the family to kill her. To finally end the (L/N) bloodline with one more kill, one more-

BOOM

He and your sister shook from the giant explosion, where a geyser of lava shot out from the side, and a giant molten hand grabbed the edge of the cliff. Your sister's eyes widened from the sight, and remembered what happened back at Ba Sing Se.

"Holy Comet..." Your brother whispered as he froze in his spot, feeling the heat from your form, even though you were hundreds of feet away from him.

"YOU. ARE. DEEEAAAADD!!" You roared, a distorted, yet familiar voice boomed through the mountain, a wave of dust and debris going every as you bellowed. Your brother covered his face to stop anything from hitting his face, and he looked back with a big, twisted smile as he laughed out again.

"I knew there was nothing stopping you!" He cackled, lighting his hands on fire while you towered the top half of the mountain and roared once more.
Your brother launched up in the air with fire, and grinned wildly as he kept on shooting fireballs at your face, with you not feeling it and trying to swat him with your molten hands.

He kept on moving out of the way and sparks formed around his hands until he pointed two fingers at you. Lighting shot out of his fingers and aimed it to your arm, where it exploded with magma going everywhere.

Your brother shielded himself with fire and smirked darkly as you let out a roar, but the smirk was soon gone when you gave him a death stare as your hand morphed back.
"Shit..." He hissed out in annoyance and in disbelief, then shot himself up in the air with his flames.

You roared and finally swatted him down, where he groaned in pain from the heat, and looked up to see you reaching out and slammed your hand into the ground where he stood. You growled as you slowly lifted your hand up, where your fingers hardened to earth where it held your brother.

All bruised and beaten, he pulled his hands to try and shoot fireballs, but it was stuck under the rocks, so he resorted to shooting fire from his mouth. It did little damage as he stopped and started to laugh, giving you wild and crazed eyes.

"You actually think you could kill me?! You'll be no better than who you were back then!! A murderer who killed their father in cold blood!!" He laughed sadistically as you just gave him a deadly stare.
"DO IT!! YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO ACTUALLY KILL AGAIN!!" He screamed out, spit flying everywhere as he became more erratic and more crazy.

"TRY AND KILL ME THEN!! DO IT!! DO IT NOW AND YOU'LL BE NO BETTER THAN ME IF YOU KILL ME!! YOU'RE JUST AS GUILTY IF YOU D-"

SHWOO

You slowly formed a smile as your brother's eyes widened, finally choking on his words as the arrow pierced through his chest. Your sister shakily held her bow in one hand, and in the position like she just let go of the arrow.

"Looks like someone beat me to it," You dropped your brother, and he landed on his back, gasping in pain as the fall caused the arrow to be pierced further.

He choked out blood, and tried to lift his hand to shoot fire, but nothing came out as his eyes rolled back and he took one last breath, before dropping his hand down and chest stopped moving, the life of his eyes faded away.

"Finally," Your lava form started to cool down into earth, and shrunken down as it fell apart, revealing your beaten up face and body wounds as you set yourself down to the ground.

But out of nowhere, two big colors glowed throughout the land, making you shakily turn to face your head to see blue and red light, and the red color was consuming the blue light, and a giant blue beam was shot into the sky. You knew immediately who it was, and who won the war after all of these years.

But then, the blue light engulfed the red color completely, before glowing brighter and finally disappeared.
"We won dad... we finally won...," You rasped out, just barely a whisper and very weak.

Letting out shaky breaths, you were struggling to stand, but you used what strength you had to turn to your sister, who slid down the ashy remains of the building and eyes widened as she saw you.

Giving one more toothy smile, before having your vision be all blurry as the word was tilting down and around, and you realized you fell onto your side, feeling the ground cushion your fall.

"(Y/N)!!" Your sister shouted, running to your side and gasped as she turned you on your back, seeing the wound in your chest.

"(Y-Y/N)!! D-don't worry!! We'll get help!! W-we have to find a healer!! Please, don't close y-your eyes!!" She stammered out, shakily ripping her arm sleeve and wrapped it around your chest, shaking as she felt your body grow more cold.

"(S/N)..."

"Don't look, okay?! Don't look!! E-everything is going to be o-okay!! Please!!" Your sister tried to prevent any blood from spilling, but nothing worked.
"It's...o-okay... h-he's go-" You choked on some blood in your mouth, before giving her a weak smile, which didn't ease her fear at all.

"Stay with me! K-katara is a healer, right? W-we'll get to her i-in time! Just stay still w-while I go get m-my eel hound!!" She shook tears away and tried to pick you up, but she was so weak from your brother.

"I-I'm sorry!! I know you still h-hate me after all three years, but please!! L-let me try and connect with you a-again!! I'm sorry! I-I'm so sorry!!" Tears never stopped falling from her cheeks, as with one last movement, you slowly and quietly wiped her tears away.

Your body was in absolute pain, burning on the inside while feeling cold on the outside, but you managed to use your energy to comfort your sister, just like when she comforted you all those years ago.

"I... don't hate you... I never did... I was just scared that... I lost... someone else..." You croaked out, barely tasting the blood in your mouth. Your sister shook your head and placed her hand on yours.

"It wasn't you who lost someone, it was me who lost my sister all those years ago," Your sister choked out, which made you give a weak smile. You slowly held up her hand and placed a small kiss on her knuckles.

"Take... t-take care of Twig...please... and t-the gaang... tell th-them... I l... love the..." Your sister thought you were whispering, but her eyes widened again as she felt your hand go cold and slowly fall.

"No... No no no no nO NO NO NO!!" Your sister frantically tried to keep you awake, shaking you as her eel hound climbed up the mountain, cooing in confusion about her cries.

"(Y/N)!! DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!! I-I'M SORRY THAT I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!! I LET MY FEARS PUSH YOU AWAY!! WE STILL NEED TO MAKE OUR CURRY REMEMBER?! YOU PROMISED!!" Your sister screamed as she was seeing life disappear from your eyes, feeling you go colder and limp in her arms, hearing you give out your last breath.

She choked on a sob, wanting to pick you up and hear anything. A pulse, a heartbeat, hell, even you messing with her. Anything! Anything to tell her that you'll be okay!

"PLEASE, YOU CAN'T GO!! WHAT ABOUT THE GAANG?! MOM?! WHAT ABOUT TWIG?! HE NEEDS YOU!! THEY ALL NEED YOU!!" She tried to hold you into her arms, wanting to still hear a heartbeat, but it was no use... it was too late...

You were gone.

Your sister's eel hound slowly took a step, and nuzzled his head against her arm, which made her cry even more, having your head against her chest as she held you close, only making choking sobs. Through her pain, she managed to stand up, holding you, and shakily dragged herself to her eel hound.

"Take us to Wulong Forest, Dewdrop... they need to see her... one last time,"
