"you three have lots of explaining to do." A voice rang out, it was a man's voice that was a bit raspy and didn't seem very happy either.
"And you better tell the truth if you know what's good for you!" Another voice called out, this time much more feminine yet full of determination.
Soon enough the blindfolds where stripped from the three teen's faces and Sokka blinked a couple times until cocking his head black a bit upon seeing the group of womenin dresses that were accompanied by armor around the chest and arms. Sokka also noticed the face paint which also caught him off guard.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where are the men who attacked us?!" He demanded. The group of woman rose their brows and looked at each other before looking back at the water tribe boy. "Men? There were no men! We attacked you!" The leader of the group exclaimed with an aggressive tone.
"So wait a minute, are you telling me a bunch of girls with fans took us out?" Sokka asked with a scoff. Katara shook her head and looked down, embarrassed by her sexist brother.
"A bunch of girls huh? Hmph, well the Unagi is gonna eat good tonight..." the lead woman of the group spoke as she gripped onto the collar of Sokka's coat, yanking him over, though was stopped by his sister who quickly butted in.
"W-wait! Don't hurt him! He didn't mean it, my brother's just an idiot sometimes!" The water tribe girl spoke quickly, watching as the armored woman sighed and let go.
Aang looked down with remorse and finally spoke up for himself. "It's my fault, I wanted to ride the Elephant Koi, we didn't mean any harm!" The boy explained. Though the older man frowned and shook his head. "But how do we know you aren't Fire Nation spies?! The Kyoshi have so far stayed out of the war and we plan on keeping it that way!" The old man scolded, pointing his old dainty finger to the arrowheaded boy.
The young Avatar quickly peeked up and suddenly remembered something. "Wait, this is the island of Kyoshi! I know Kyoshi!" Aang exclaimed with a wide smile, his brown eyes lightening up a bit with his expression.

The Prince and his Uncle had fallen into another silence, but mainly because Iroh was too busy hoeing into his lunch. Zuko looked at his plate of food, and picked up his fork and began to eat some of his fish. The sweet flavours of freshly caught fish, accompanied by cinnamon, chilly and other herbs washed over his tongue and taste-buds. He chewed a few times before swallowing and taking another mouthful…

Then rather suddenly one of his men appeared at the door, “Sorry to interrupt you, but we’ve got news on the Avatar…” He spoke giving a quick bow. Zuko set his forkful of food down and looked at the man, “Have you found him?” He said in a rather hopeful tone. The man pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zuko, “Some Navy soldiers sent this to us via Messenger Hawk. They say they saw a large furry animal Flying in the sky, it seemed to be headlining toward Kyoshi Island.” The man informed as Zuko stood up and took the paper to read what it said.

“They think that animal is the same one that the Avatar uses to travel on….”

“It has to be.” The prince said handing back the paper, “What would you like us to do?”

“Ready the Rhinos, and set course for Kyoshi Island!” The Prince ordered, the man nodded and left the room, Zuko followed soon after. Meanwhile Iroh remained sitting on the floor, he watched as his Nephew left and frowned slightly noticing that he’d left most of his meal unfinished on the table, “…Are you going to finish that?” He called out.

“I was saving it for later!” The prince snapped walking back and grabbing his meal before rushing back out of the dining room. Iroh sighed, a look of disappointment on his face, “Aw, I was looking forward to eating that.” He sighed quietly to himself.

The old man scoffed and had a look of disbelief on his old face. "What? That is impossible! Avatar Kyoshi has been dead for centuries!" He protested, holding his hands at his hips.
"I know her because I am the Avatar!" Aang explained with a wide smile, though was approached by the leader of the Kyoshi warriors.
"That's impossible! The Avatar was supposed to be an air bender who disappeared a hundred years ago!" The armored woman added with furrowed brows and a clenched fist.
The young Avatar gave a cheesy smile and nodded. "Yup! That's me!" He said rather excitedly. But the elder obviously did not buy any of it. "That's it! Send the imposter to the Unagi!" He ordered in his husky toned voice, pointing out to the beach where in the depths of the water await the vicious giant, man-eating eel. However just as the other Kyoshi warriors curcled around them once more, preparing to take them away to the unagi, Katara leaned over and whispered. "Aang, come on! Do some air-bending!" She grumbled worriedly. And Aang did just that.
The young boy inhaled deeply and exhaled a strong gust of wind, lifting himself out of the ropes and doing a back flip high in the sky before landing lightly on his feet in front of the elder man and the other Kyoshi warriors who starred in awe. "I-its true...! You are the Avatar!" The old man mumbled as he pointed to the arrowheaded boy.
Aang stood tall as he nodded softly. "Now, look at THIS!" He exclaimed as he pulled out two little marbles and used his airbending to make them form a a whirling circle as he smiled widely. "Cool right?!" The boy laughed while Sokka strolled his eyes with a heavy sigh.
Though soon the word of the Avatar being alive and on Kyoshi island began to spread all around, from fishing boats, to markets, throughout towns, and everywhere pretty much. And it was only a matter of time before the information would be spread to the Fire nation who would definitely not hesitate to come for him at the island in fleets...however at the moment the gaang didn't seem tk think about it, well, for now at least...

(Not quite sure where Zuko kept his Rhinos, but I assume they were under deck somewhere lol)

Under deck, several of his men saddled and prepared the large Komodo Rhinos. Zuko and the rest of his men prepared themselves; Zuko was standing in his room with his arms out as two of his men placed the red, black and gold armour on him. As soon as the gear was on him he lowered his arms and allowed his men to place his helmet over his head, “How much longer until we reach the Island?” The Prince asked.

“About thirty minutes Prince Zuko.” Responded one of his men. Zuko nodded silently and walked to the door of his room. He then made his way to the cockpit of his ship, and walked through to were the small balcony was. He stood out on the balcony, staring out at the horizon, golden eyes focusing on the small hump of land which he assumed was Kyoshi Island….

((Lol yeah I'm pretty sure it was somewhere around there ))

For the few days they spent on Kyoshi island Sokka, the water tribe boy took it upon himself to go scope things out with the so-called "Kyoshi warriors" who he presumed were merely jut a bunch of girls pretending to be actual warriors. But of course he was proven wrong by being challenged to a small fight against Suki, the leader of the Kyoshi warriors. Unfortunately for Sokka he lost multiple times to the woman and was left as a laughing stock by the others, causing him to feel embarrassed. "Tch, lousy... no good warriors.." he muttered to himself as he made his way out of the building.
Though the next day The teen finally confessed that he wanted to be taught about how to fight like them. "You want to join us?" Asked Suki with a look of surprise on her painted face before setting a hand on her hip and looking back at the other young women. "Very well, But! You have to dress like us, act like us and do everything I say!" Suki explained with a serious look on her face. Sokka furrowed his brows and cocked his head back, throwing his hands in the air. "W-what?! But..!" However soon the Teenage boy agreed to the terms and began his training. It took a while to get used to painting his own face and wearing a dress, but eventually he got used to it.

It was a normal day on Kyoshi island, the skies were clear, the birds sang their lovely chorus and most of everything seemed to be at ease...well, for the time being of course... inside the building in which the Kyoshi Warriors trained Sokka was finally beginning to get used to the forms and attack strategies he learned from Suki and her friends. "Y'know, this isn't all that bad! Especially since you're all girls and all," he chuckled, though only to be smacked upside the head by Suki who didn't quite take a liking to the teen's sexist remarks. "You better watch it, Sokka if you know what's good for you..!" She said half seriously yet a hint of playfulness in her voice. Only moments later did the elder from a few days ago appear in the doorway, panting heavily out of breath and with a look of terror stuck upon his face. "Suki! There are fire nation ships seen just a ways out at sea!" He exclaimed. Sokka's heart dropped knowing full well what was going to happen next, and he knew he had to tell Aang as soon as possible...

As the Fire- Navy ship drew closer and closer to the Island Prince Zuko remained in his place on the balcony. It had been a few days since he’d last herd of or seen the avatar and his friends, and his patients was wearing thin. “This time you won’t get away from me…” He mumbled quietly to himself turning his head at the sound of footstep behind him.

“Prince Zuko, we’re only a few minutes away from Kyoshi, may I suggest that we begin to saddle up?” The man said panting a little. Zuko nodded and followed after him to where the rest of his men where and the Rhinos. With the assistance of one of his men Zuko swiftly mounted one of the Rhinos, quickly he took a hold of the rains and tugged the lizard’s large horned head upward in a quick jerk, getting ready to move out….

Moments later the ship pulled up on the shores of Kyoshi Island, the ramp thumped down in the sandy shore. Without waiting to much time Zuko’s small army burst out onto the shores, “Head to the village! I want the Avatar alive.” The young prince ordered leading them along a pathway which he assumed led to the Village….

Meanwhile before the ships had landed on the shore of the island Katara had Aang laying on behind a large boulder since only moments before they were almost eaten alive by the Unagi due to Aang's curiosity getting the best of him. Katara peaked over the boulder just enough where she could see the large reptilians emerge from the ship and walk onto the sandy shore. "Zuko..." Katara mumbled worriedly before looking back down at Aang's unconscious body. "Come on Aang...wake up..!" She said worriedly before gently swaying a hand in front of his face, attempting to pull out the water from his lungs that he inhaled by accident from being thrown around by the Unagi. Fortunately the monk coughed and slowly fluttered his eyes open and Katara's ocean blue eyes lightened up with joy. "Katara...don't ride the Unagi...it isn't fun.." he coughed out with a light laugh.

Soon enough the large rhinos where prowling the streets of the village. The sound of the armor of the beasts and the soldiers clanking with each step. The Kyoshi warriors however won't be cowering down anytime soon. And with quick movements they swooped down from the rooftops of houses, knocking down one of two of the soldiers which rode ontop of the rhinos and using their agility to swiftly knock them out out. Some even used their fans to aim and throw at the soldiers to hit their helmet so they wouldn't be able to see. Sokka was in the mix as well, using what he learned from Suki and the others to help take a few down. However his movements seemed to become a bit slower as he watched Suki approach the rhino with a lone rider, who Sokka figured to be Zuko...

Focused on the task ahead, Zuko stared forwards eyes locking on the village which he and his men were nearing. He had a fairly small group with him, only three other Komodo Rhinos, each with two riders on their backs. He was the only one with his own Rhino…
Soon enough they reached the village, Zuko puled his Rhino to a stop and the other men did the same. His golden eyes scanned the seemly empty village carefully, nothing. He frowned slightly, “Come out Avatar, I know your hiding here somewhere!” he called out with a hint of annoyance. He kept looking around, still nothing, only the odd head of a child or civilian peeping though doors or windows would catch his eye. Growing impatient Zuko signalled for his men to attack, “Find him!” he ordered with a growl. And with that his men moved forward, only to be knocked out of there saddled one by one rather suddenly. Zuko’s eyes grew wide, watching as the few men were attacked by what seemed to be a group of girls in green and gold dress like amour. “What the…”
Then one of the girls started to run toward him, Zuko watched her carefully and quickly bended some fire toward her, but she swiftly dodged each attack. Then, she leaped up in the air and went in for the attack, however was knocked out of the air when Zuko made his Rhino turn around and whack her which its tail. As soon as the warrior hit the ground, Prince Zuko clenched a fist and punched the air, bending a ball of fire toward her with a grunt…

Sokka's ocean blue eyes widened upon seeing Suki get thrown to the ground by the large reptilians tail. Frozen in fear for the moment he clenched into the fans given to him by the Kyoshi warriors he furrowed his painted brows and ran towards the young girl who was in the ground. "I guess this means training is over!" He exclaimed as he quickly stepped in front of Suki to use the fan and block the ball of fire. His deep blue eyes glaring at Zuko though The glare only lasted for a few seconds before quickly turning away to spot the other Kyoshi warriors, watching as one quickly knocked the prince off of the beast while yet another crowded around him. Suki and Sokka quickly ran over, getting in their fighting stance. However Sokka's stance seemed a little weary, for the glare of the banished Prince's golden eyes were like staring into the sun.
Moments later the armored women began attacking, though try as they might they were taken down one by one single-handed by the prince, leaving Sokka alone...the Water Tribe boy gulped as he remained in his fighting stance, trying not to show any weakness. The teen managed to dodge a few attacks but yet again was he quickly taken out from beneath and fell onto his back with a groan.
Meanwhile Aang finally showed up, in the center of the streets that were slowly being engulfed by the crackling flames. "Hey! Over here!" The arrowheaded boy shouted, clenching into his staff with a look of determination on his face. Sokka coughed and rubbed his back a bit for his eyes widening, seeing Aang right in the line of fire...literally.

Zuko was sure that his attack was going to hit the girl, however seemly out of no were another warrior jumped in front of the other, and blocked the attack with her fans. Zuko narrowed his eyes at them, and went to attack again, only to be knocked out of his saddle by another warrior. He fought for only a second as he was tackled to the ground, and landed on the wooden decking of a nearby home, his helmet flying off of him and landing nearby.
Now on the deck the prince lifted himself up, watching as he was quickly swarmed by the group. They all stood around him, fans at the ready, but swiftly before any of them had the chance to attack first the Fire Nation Prince spun around on the ground, using his arms to support himself and bended some fire out from the souls of his feet kicking the girls away from him and sending them flying in several directions. Swiftly he jumped up onto his feet, noticing that one of them; who he quietly noted to be rather masculine looking, was still standing. Gritting his teeth he lunged forward, and swiped his feet around in a circle again bending red-hot flames from his feet in an attempt to knock her over, but she’d quickly jump and dodge his attacks, until finally upon the warrior falling down to land the prince knocked her over with a swift and fiery kick. The prince stood over the last girl which he knocked over and glared down menacingly at her, frowning a little when he noticed her blue eyes. They seemed awfully familiar, yet he quickly shook it off and leaped over her landing back on the street, “Nice try Avatar, but these girls won’t save you.” He called out, looking around for any sing of the arrow headed monk.
Then seeming out of nowhere a boys voice called out from behind the Prince. Without hesitation the prince spun around on his heal to face the boy, seeing that it was the Avatar. “Finally.” The prince said, more to himself than anyone else and began to bend fire right toward the younger boy.

Sokka clenched onto his chest which had the wind knocked out of it from falling onto his back, panting a bit to get air. His blue eyes narrowing as he stared straight back up at the Prince who hovered above him.
The Avatar clenched onto his staff a little tighter as he watched the banished prince who stood only about a few yards away, then let his eyes trail over to spot Sokka on the ground. "Hmph.." he grumbled before looking back at Zuko. Though the silence didn't last for long. Soon the sounds of crackling flame became louder as the young boy looked up to see balls of Fire being shot at him. Quickly, the boy lifted his staff and spun it around rapidly, forming a shield made of air to block the flames. Then the Nomad lifted his staff into the air, spinning it once again to lift himself off the ground and into the air to fly closer to the prince so he would have a better shot. But as soon as he landed his staff was knocked out of his hands by one of Zuko's raging balls of Fire and was now out of reach, the Avatar quickly looked around and spotted a pair of fans laying on the ground a few feet away and made a run for it. Using his airbending and sheer agility to dodge the fire attacks.
Once he grabbed ahold of the fans he inhaled deeply while making steady movements with his arms and spun around once before shoving his arms forward with a grunt, sending a harsh gust of wind towards Zuko in attempt to while he made a run for it. The boy quickly dropped the fans and ran to his staff, grabbing it and tossing it into the air before grabbing on and gliding away. From above the boy looked down at the burning village, his brows furrowing at the sight of the damage. After taking in the awful sight Aang spotted Katara and swiftly dove down, landing on a deck of a home where she held the children hide. "This is all my fault, I did this.." his spoke solemnly, looking down as he clenched onto the staff. The water tribe girl shook her head and looked over at the boy. "No it isn't Aang..-" the teen replied before being cut off by Aang. "Yes it is! Im the reason this village got destroyed..." Aang protested, looking up at the older female. The young woman sighed and set a hand on his shoulder softly. "Then I think it would be best that we leave...there isn't much we can do Aang.." Katara suggested. The Nomad looked back at the burning village then back at Katara with a look of sorrow and disappointment. "I'll call Appa..." the boy mumbled softly as he looked down at his feet.
All the while Sokka and Suki had managed to hide away behind if of the houses. "There's no time to say goodbye," said Suki as she was knelt down on one knee in front of Sokka, constantly peeking around the corner to see if there were any Fire Nation soldiers approaching. "But what about 'I'm sorry'?" Asked Sokka with furrowed brows. The female warrior turned to face Sokka and rose a brow.
"For what?" She asked in a slightly impatient tone.
"For treating you like a girl when I should have treated you like a warrior." The water tribe boy replied, looking down a bit.
The warrior sighed and shook her head. "I am a warrior," she paused then leaned forward to leave a small kiss on Sokka's cheek before continuing. "But I'm a girl too.." she said with a soft smile.

Zuko’s brow furrowed in annoyance as the Avatar repelled his attacks, however he kept shooting balls of fire toward him hoping to at least hit him once. He’d punch and kick the air with frustrated grunts. As the Arrow headed boy began to fly toward him, he’d still try to knock him down using his bending, however for the most part failed. Clenching his jaw in a frustrated growl his hawk-like gaze watched as the boy came closer and closer to him. Then as soon as he landed the Prince shot another ball of fire at the Avatar, smirking ever so slightly when he saw it hit and knock the staff clean out of his hands. However, movement to his side caused his attention to be briefly taken away from the Avatar and toward where one of the warriors was; Sokka-Although he did not recognize him. His eyes narrowing slightly at them before turning his attention back to the avatar who was running toward a pair of golden fans which lay on the dusty ground.
“You really think you can fight me with those?” The prince mocked getting into a fighting stance and quickly bending even more fire toward the boy, growing more and more frustrated each time the monk ducked, weaved, avoiding each attack. Then before Zuko could react a powerful gust of air was shot his way, knocking him flat off his feet and sending him flying through the air and crashing into a nearby building in a cloud of black ash and dust. Apron hitting the floor of the building the Prince’s body fell through, falling only a few centimetres into a small hole momentarily falling unconscious.
Meanwhile unbeknownst to the Prince, the Avatar took the moment to fly away from the fight and take in the sheer horror of what the small group of fire benders had done to the small village. Men and even some woman fought, children huddled in small groups trying to stay out of the way and rhinos rampaged…
Soon enough the Prince came too, regaining consciousness. His right arm ached greatly and his body felt like it was being pressed down by a ton of bricks. Weekly he opened his eyes and lifted his head, gritting his teeth in pain as he noticed he was under a pile of wood, and rubble, “Blast!”
Zuko struggled to pull himself free from the rubble for a few moments, before letting out a frustrated, slightly painful yell and kicking his legs out sending rubble and fire flying and in doing so freeing himself.
“Prince Zuko are you okay?” The voice of a man caused the prince to sit up and turn his head around to see two of his men peering in through the hole which he’d originality crashed though. “I’m fine! What are you doing standing around!? Find the Avatar!” Zuko snapped standing up.
“We don’t know where he went.” They said in unison stepping aside as the prince climbed out of the hole. Zuko growled, now standing back on the street, “Well let’s find him.” The teenager hissed striding away, his men quickly followed after.

Sokka's eyes widened a bit a he lifted a hand up to his painted face, gently setting his hand over the part of his cheek where he was the kiss was planted. His blue eyes went a bit wide and blinked a couple times, not exactly sure how to react. "But go now! I'll hold them off!" The female demanded, standing up and gripping onto an extended fan with one hand. Sokka opened his mouth to speak but sighed and decided it was best to just listen and get the heck out. So the teen nodded and quickly turned to run as quickly as he could a round the corner where he spotted the flying bison and without hesitation he began climbing up to the saddle.
But not too soon did the water tribe boy spot the prince once again, shivers running down his spine as the image of his fiery-golden glare staring down at him when he was knocked over. Sokka furrowed his brows a bit and quickly looked away as he sat on the large saddle across from his sister with his arms crossed. "Appa! Yip-yip!" The bow called out, giving a light tug in the reins. The large mammal groaned softly and stood up. Then his large wide tail lifted up and slammed down, pushing them up into the air and sending down a gust of air to anything that could have possibly been shot at them.
When they were a good distance away and were now over the coastline of the island Katara leaned over the saddle a bit to look at the young Avatar who was obviously upset about the whole ordeal. "I know it seemed wrong, but if we would've stayed Zuko would've destroyed the entire village!" Katara explained with a reassuring look on her tan face. "They're gonna be okay, Aang.." she said softly, raising a hand into the air with a gentle smile. The young monk sat up straight and arched his brows slightly as he looked overhead. Then Aang let go of the reins, stood up on Appa's head before taking a deep breath and diving straight down into the water. With wide eyes Katara attempted to reach down and catch Aang but it was too late, he was already under water. "What are you doing?!" She yelled down below.
By now Sokka had removed the make-up from his face and set the fans down next to his bags. Though was startled at the sound of his sister yelling. Katara and Sokka peered down from the saddle with dropped jaws, praying for Aang to come back up. With about a few minutes of terrifying silence, bubbles began to rise from the water and soon enough the large head and body of the monstrous Unagi bursts out from the surface. Sokka squinted his blue eyes to get a better look and a slight smirk curled on his face. "Is...is that Aang?!" He exclaimed, gripping onto the saddle's ledge. And astonishingly, it was the young boy. Clenching onto both of the giant eel's whiskers and yanking back on them while standing on its head to get the monster to hold still for the time being before it's mouth full of deadly teeth opened up wide and let out a fountain of water straight into the direction of the village, slowly but surely putting out the flames brought by the fire nation soldiers.
Then without any further hesitation the monster threw its head back, sending the boy flying in the air only to be caught by his trusty flying bison. As Aang climbed over onto the saddle he sighed and waved his hand in the air and shrugged his shoulders. "I know, I know. It was stupid and dangerous." He said with a slight smile as he sat down with his legs crossed.
"Yes, it was." Katara replied before leaning over to give Aang a tight hug. While Sokka rolled his deep blue eyes and starring down into the water below.

Prince Zuko and his men continued to terrorize the small village, setting fire to pretty much everything in their sights. Angrily Zuko shot a ball of fire toward a building, carelessly turning away as it set alight, “Where are you Avatar!?” He yelled out scanning the land around him. Nothing…But then movement caught his eye, just behind a building the young Prince noticed shadows of people moving. Slowly the prince stepped forward wondering if it was the Avatar or one of his friends, however just as he was about to discover who was behind the building one of his men called him over wanting help with controlling one of the Rhinos which had become spooked.

Sighing the Prince walked over, ducking down rather quickly as a clawed foot was swung his way, “Hold the darn thing still!” The Prince snapped dodging another set of claws. The man gripped onto the rains and yanked on them as hard as he could trying to at least move the large reptilian beast, but the animal was far too strong and continued to thrash, “I-I can’t! It’s too strong.” The man responded still trying to pull it away. Zuko clenched his jaw, he did not have time for this, “Urrh!” He walked over to there the man was and grabbed a hold of the leather reins firmly, and together the two men pulled against the beast with all their mite. As Zuko leant back pulling he could feel his feet slipping on the soft sandy ground, he grunted trying to remain standing and tugged harder against the reins. It was then when the teenaged prince noticed a large shadow cast over them, at first he thought it was a cloud, but when he looked up he soon realized it was not… “The Avatar..” the prince uttered quietly under his breath, slowly returning his attention to the rhino. After a few more moments they’d managed to calm down the large beast, without hesitation Zuko jumped up into the saddle and yanked on the reins making it move in the direction the Avatar’s bison was moving.

“The Avatar is getting away! After him!” The prince demanded in a yell to his men. Once all his men where gathered and mounted on their Rhinos Zuko lead them forwards and they began to move out of the village toward the ship. They were on the outskirts of the village when suddenly Zuko noticed a large Ell like creature rise up over the village, his eyes grew wide as it opened it’s mouth, “What the?”

Then suddenly a jet of water poured down upon them, the Prince put a hand up in a pitiful attempt to stop the water from drenching him, but of cause he and his men were drenched. Watching with a less than impressed look on his face, Zuko tugged on the reins once more and made his Rhino move onwards. As they slowly left, they could hear the cheers and claps of the village behind them…How embarrassing.

(Not the best, but it's better than nothing.)
