Shin and Shane appeared just a second too late, "Lillian!" Shin hissed under his breath. Without hesitation Shane charged at the slayer and attacked him from behind, "I'll handle him, get the other's out!" Shane called to his brother behind him.

Lillian's body fell towards the ocean but before her form could disappear into the dark blue Appa swooped down and Zuko caught her in his arms, "no no no, Lilly, wake up, please." Zuko spoke softly as he held Lillian close to him fearing that she would disappear. Shin flew in beside them looking over at his sister's limb body in Zuko's arms, "Move, let me work on her." Katara said taking water from the ocean and closing Lillian's body entirely with water, "Is she..." Zuko started by was interrupted by Shin, "She's alive, but barley. You need to take her to the sky temple." Shin said slowly not taking his eyes off his sister. Appa landed by Aang and the other's, "It's all my fault... I should have listened to her when she said we should go," Aang said with tears in his eyes. Shin placed his hand firmly on the young Avatar's shoulder, "She's going to be fine." Shin said looking at Zuko who watch Katara heal Lillian's body, "You need to take her to the sky temple. There you will find Ling, she'll know what to do." Shin rushed. Everyone stared among each other, "how do we get there?" Sokka asked taking control of the matter, "Where dragons fear to fly and the ocean kiss the skies. Weeping willows Surround like a prison but offer protection, there the tenshi's fly and dance." Shin said poetically feeling proud that he remember the rhyme, "Uh... English?" Aang asked slightly annoyed, Shin's face fell, "Kids... Fly into the sun and when the ocean turns from blue to crystal clear you turn right to the mountain that looks like a giant lionturtle with long hair." Shin said before flying to help his brother. 

Everyone climbed on to Appa, "Lillian's clinging to life..." Katara whispered to Aang hoping that Zuko wouldn't hear her. Zuko sat with Lillian's head in his lap, "She's boiling, I'm afraid her blood is too hot for me to take my healing further... and water will just make it worse." Katara said a loud so everyone knew what Lillian's predicament is. Toph held onto Suki as Appa flew towards the sky Temple. Kasai rested his head by Zuko, 'You know what to do... I've showed you' Lillian's voice echoed in Zuko's head.

Lillian awoke in the spirit world. The skies purple and all the odd creatures about the meadow. Lillian stood up and clenched her head, "Am I dead?" Lillian whispered to herself. Lillian looked over her shoulder to see if she could see any of the burn marks or any scars that she could have gotten from the lightning strike, "Yeah... I'm dead..." Lillian said as tears formed in her eyes, "I failed... If he got to me... It's not long before he gets everyone else..." Lillian sobbed.

"Lucy wasn't this emotional was she? I mean, she was a girl with all her problems but sheeesh!" Growled a familiar voice. Lillian lifted her head at the sound of the voice, "Zuko?" Lillian lifted into a standing position at the shadowed figure beneath the trees, "Nah, try again Princess, I'm more fun than that grouch, how his an offspring of my blood only the great spirits know." Said the voice again. The figure stepped out from the shadows revealing a tall strong built man with spikey pink hair and a large grin. Lillian's eyes grew wide, " your the dragon Prince... Igneel's son!" Lillian gasped falling into a respectful bow. Natsu growled, "get up. I never like that falling over stuff." Natsu stated as he walked closer, "So... Here you are. In the spirit world. And JUST when the love story was getting juicy!" Natsu groaned. Lillian raised her brow, "so I'm dead..." Lillian felt her heart burn, "I wanted to save my friends... Are they?" Lillian's eyes started to tear up. Natsu rolled his eyes, "you girls are always so emotional." Natsu sighed, "What do you expect from me!! I just died!" Lillian exploded causing her wings to ignite and blaze with orange flames. Natsu stepped back, "okay okay, bad joke... Sorry!" Natsu panicked. Lillian calmed down but her wings stayed on fire, "your not dead... Just in a coma!" Natsu said with a grin. Lillian felt her brow twitch, "and you only tell me this now!" Lillian raised her voice again. Natsu raised his hands in defense as he backed away slowly, "yeah, I mean... You have lightning running through your veins with no way out. Each time they circulate past your brain it puts you to sleep before you can wake up." Natsu stated igniting a flame in his hand taking the shape of a lightning bolt. Lillian gritted her teeth..." And you say it so calmly because?" Lillian tried to remain calm. Natsu grinned at the Blonde haired tenshi... "You'll see...."

"Focus your chii and you will be able to send out a message." Natsu grinned, "You need the heat extracted from your body... And that technique of yours that you created, it will do just the job!"

Lillian nodded and sat into her lotus position, 

Breath in...

Breath out...

in...

Out...

'She's boiling, I'm afraid her blood is too hot for me to take my healing further... and water will just make it worse'  Katara's voice echoed. Lillian felt to hands rest at the side of her head and she knew all to well whose hands those were. 'Zuko....' Lillian whispered under her breath with a smile. Lillian felt the currents rushing through her body. When the current passed her neck and towards her brain she knew, it's now or never... You know what to do... I've showed you'

Lillian managed to get into Zuko's head for a moment before pain rushed in and she had to open her eyes. Natsu nodded, "You did it girly... lets hope that his good looks don't mean his thick in the head..." Natsu smirked. Lillian's eyes widened, a smirk she's seen many times before but on someone else's face...

"Wait a minute... If Your the dragon Prince that was supposed to marry Lucy all those years ago and I'm her decedent... And you said that Zuko is of your blood?" Lillian's eyes widened... 

"OH MY-!!!"

Zuko remained with his gaze on Lillian's pained face, "What?" Zuko shook his head as he could have sworn he heard Lillian's voice in his head.... Heat out of her body? The gang suddenly flew through thick branches of the willow trees, "We're here." Sokka stated as the view of a great temple made of silver came into view, "Wow...." Everyone gasped. Zuko stood up and leapt of of Appa with Lillian tight in his embrace, "Katara, I know what to do!" Zuko shouted as he rushed to a stream beneath the willow branches, "What? Are you crazy!?" Katara argued but when Zuko took a stance familiar to a water bender she hushed up, "Okay... What do I have to do?" Katara asked as she took the same stance. Zuko closed his eyes and began his breathing, "Lillian taught this to me, the same way water bender's push and pull the energy, the same way I'll pull the heat and push the cool." Zuko tried to explain as he began moving his arms out and back in. Katara nodded and wrapped a thin layer of water around Lillian's body, "It's actually working!" Katara gasped. 

Aang and the other's met some very unhappy tenshi and tried to reassure them that they were not the enemy. A short female tenshi marched forward with her hands on her hips and her blue eyes as cold as ice, "I'll have you know, We don't take kind to outsider's! Specially land benders!" The short blonde haired girl snarled. Aang raised his hands in surrender, "I promise on my Avatar spirit that we're friends, I mean, there's the princess of Tenshi right there!" Aang pointed over his shoulder, "Laying motionless with our friends...." Sokka added nervously. Toph facepalm at his comment, "Great work Sokka!" Suki said as they watch the eyes of the short tenshi set ablaze, "What have you done to my Lilly!" The short girl growled before forming sharp Ice swords at her fists, "I'll cut you to bits!" She cried. As the short girl charged at Sokka, two hands were placed firmly on her shoulder's, "Woah! Easy there Lu!" Ling said containing the tiny girl who almost seemed to be blowing steam from her nose, "Ah! Our savior!" Sokka cried as a sweat dropped from his head, "Hello... now, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!!!" Ling Yelled at Aang and Sokka who fell behind Toph and Suki. When Ling's eyes fell on Lillian's body she knew, "Dammit Woman! How many times must I shit on your head???" Ling growled pulling Lu along with her. Ling watched as Zuko and Katara began a healing process, "hmmm, interesting. Seems you guys have it handled." Ling smirked. Katara smiled proudly at Ling, "So when she's back alive I can kill her myself and you can heal her!" Ling stated with an evil glare in her eyes. Katara's hands froze at the deadly stare from the earth Tenshi, "uh? What?" Katara asked worried.

"OH MY AGNI!" Lillian Screeched as she sat up straight in the stream, everyone just stood and stared... "Uh... What just happened?" Suki asked confused. Zuko stood surprised and smiled at his girlfriend, "hey you." Zuko smiled. Lillian looked up at all her friends then at her boyfriend, "hey you, miss me?" Lillian teased, "You have no idea..." Zuko breathed. Lillian stood up calmly and began walking to Zuko's out stretched arms but before she could even leave the stream, a sudden blow of wind rushed past Zuko and before him was the most terrifying thing he has ever seen.

Ling lay on top of Lillian with her hands around her throat throttling her, "What the actual FUCK! I have told you OVER AND OVER!!!! STOP FUCKING DYING!" Ling yelled as she shook Lillian's head. Lu calmly walked over to the two girls and stood with her arms behind her back, "Alright Ling... that's enough...Ling?" Lu huffed and rolled her eyes before taking a deep breath and wacking Ling over the back of her head. Ling's eyes widened in shock, "Did you just-" Lu raised her hand, "I said, enough. I would Like to hug my best friend too" Lu said calmly. Lillian gasped, "I wish this was a hug....help me!" Lillian begged. Ling and Lu grinned, "We've missed you!" The girls squealed before forming a large group hug.

The rest of team Avatar stood there Shocked..

"Well, I need cactus juice after today!" Sokka said throwing his arms in the air. Katara nodded in agreement and then the group burst out into laughter...
