( Aw I feel special now, but I'd have to agree this rp is pretty good. I honestly grin every time I get a reply back, i'm like, "Oooh what's gonna happen now?!" OoO XD)


He just kept staring at the boy, unable to move and defiantly not daring to speak. When the machete was pointed toward him the prince inched back even more, pressing himself against the edge of the saddle. He watched silently as the boy seemed to be processing something in his mind. Zuko slowly stood up, trying to remain as calm as possible. The Water Tribe Boy seemed to be surprised, as he seemed to realize something his blue eyes growing wide. Zuko tensed getting ready for an attack or something, however Sokka took a step back and almost dropped his Machete. Hesitantly the prince straightened his back, it cracked ever so slightly. There were a few moments of silence before, Sokka spoke again, he seemed to know who the masked man was. However Zuko still said nothing for a while. He just stared at Sokka motionlessly. The seconds dragged on, and with each jaggeder breath Zuko took time seemed to move slower and slower. Then without warning he reached up and behind him, as if about to grab his swords, but stopped before pulling them out. He held onto the handles for a few more silent seconds before sighing heavily, and lowering his arms…This time he’d have to blow his cover it seemed.
The masked prince lowered his head slightly and opened his mouth to speak, however no words seemed to come out, he frowned and shut his mouth looking back over to the slightly younger male. He tried to speak again, this time words came out, however they were quiet, soft and no were near as harsh or menacing as normal.
“Look, I know you probably think I’m up to no good…” He began, glancing over to the sleeping water tribe girl for a few seconds, before looking back to the boy. “But… I came here…To…” He started to lose his cool, his nerves beginning to get the better of him.

(SAME omg like every time i see the little notification i grin and do this weird little giggle thing XD)

Sokka didnt move his glare from the other teen as he watched the masked fire bender reach up to hold the handle of his weapons. in all honesty the young man didn't really want a fight. One, because he was very tired and two, because something inside made him feel like he shouldn't fight him, though of course he would always try to repress those other weird feelings... The blue eyed boy lowered his weapon when Zuko pulled his hand away from his weapon as well. the male listened to the slightly older teen and rose a brow, tilting his head slightly. "Well duh i'm gonna think you're up to no good! You've tried to kill me and the others more than twice!" he snapped, occasionally looking over at his sister to make sure she was still sound asleep. Sokka continued to listen, trying not to crack a smirk at how the prince seemed so nervous. "Well go on! Spit it out already!" The tan male huffed eagerly, though he noticed how stressed out the other male was getting and began to feel a little bad for him. with a soft sigh he ran his fingers through his loose hair and groaned in an annoyed tone before setting his machete down. "Alright, just chill out already, just tell me why you're here... Honestly i'm stressed out too okay? Aang went missing and we have no clue where he is, so if you're looking for him... He isn't here." He spoke in a calm tone and shrugged his shoulders before averting his gaze to the side.
Meanwhile back at the Prison complex Aang waited patiently, his heart racing within his chest as he would peek his head out every once in a while to see if he could see the Blue Spirit returning or not, unfortunately for him he hadnt spotted him yet. "Come on, come on..." he mumbled to himself worriedly.

Zuko stood in silence, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly when Sokka remained him that he’d almost killed the group mutable times. He had to admit he did kind of feel bad for them, not that he was going to admit it though. Zuko looked down for a few moments, staring at his feet, he felt so stupid right now; being this nervous and having theses random thoughts flooding his mind. He slowly looked back to the boy, he was about to snap back at him, but thought better than to. He sighed slightly and watched as Sokka spoke setting his weaponed down, “…I’m not looking for the Avatar…” He spoke still keeping his voice quiet, but more for the reason so not to wake the sleeping girl. He did not plan on having a second shower today- If you know what I mean (XD Sorry that was so lame XD). He kept his gaze on the other, even after he looked away and continued to speak, “I know where he is.. And that’s why I’m here, I came to see if you have his Staff.” He spoke a little louder, slowly regaining his confidence. He looked upwards, at the cracking roof above him as he spoke more, “He needs it so he can escape Zhao’s Prison complex…” Slowly he looked back to the Water Tribe boy.

((Omg XDD when I read that I actually kinda laughed XD))

The young man rose a brow when the teen said he wasn't looking for the avatar but something still made him suspicious. He continued to listen to the masked prince and his eyes widened and quickly took a step forward. "You do?!" He spoke out loudly, however he quickly covered his mouth before looking over at his sibling who shifted around a bit though thankfully she was still asleep. When Sokka looked back over at the slightly older male. "Wait a minute..." he mumbled and glared a bit at bit at the Blue Spirit. "How do I know you aren't lying to me..?" Sokka asked, clenching his fists a little. The water tribe boy wasn't entirely sure if he should trust Zuko, though one part of him wanted to. With a growl he rolled his eyes and climbed down from the saddle and quickly made his way to his things, putting his hair back into its little bun and changed into his normal clothing before bolting over to grab Aang's staff. "Listen. I don't know who this Zhao guy is, or if you're even telling the truth for that matter... But either way I'm coming with you because the one thing I do believe, is that you know where the Avatar is..." he spoke in a stern tone, his ocean blue gaze piercing into the eyeholes of the mask that's Zuko wore. Finally Sokka climbed back up the Saddle where Zuko was and held out the staff, pointing it towards the banished prince. "Plus if you want to get there faster you'll need a ride..." He added with a slight smirk before looking down at the large sleeping mammal. ((So sorry for the late reply, I was out of town most of yesterday xc and didn't have my laptop))

Zuko could tell that the tanned male was not fully trusting of him, not that he expected it, but hoped that there was a little there to at least let him get the Avatars Staff. He lowered his head slightly when Sokka questioned him, he wanted to explain, but did not know how so kept quiet for the time being. When the boy started to climb down to the ground Zuko lifted his head and took a few steps forward, he went to say something, but stopped when he realized what the other was doing. A sigh of relief left his mouth as he watched the boy retrieve the staff. The prince almost protested against the other boy coming along, but after a few moments, he figured it’d be best to not argue. He did not react when the staff was pointed at him, he just slowly looked to it, “…Thank you…..” He said quietly reaching for the staff and taking it. He was just about to turn to jump off of the large mammal, when Sokka spoke again.
“Uh, don’t you think it’ll be a little obvious? No offence but this Bison is not the mo-Whoa!” Before Zuko could finish what he was going to say he was unbalanced and knocked over into the saddle as the animal stood up. Zuko looked over to were Sokka was, he was sitting on the animals head holding the reins. And before he knew it they were flying out the abandon home though a large hole and flew into the night sky.

(It's fine, I was out today so that's why I'm responding late too.)

"Tch, whatever.." he rolled his eyes before hoping over to the bison's head, smiling as he gently patted it. "Hey Oppa, wake up, bud! We gotta go get Aang!" He whispered into its little ear before it's large eye opened and let out a soft groan. "Shh!" Don't wake up Katara!" He added before sitting down comfortably on the fluffy head.
Sokka chuckled and shook his head. "Really? I'm not gonna land him right infront of the prison thingy,, I'm not dumb.. I'll land him somewhere near by or somewhere unnoticeable. Then from there you go get Aang bring him to me, and boom! We'll be on our way, simple as that!" He explained with a smug look on his face. Soon enough the water tribe boy gave a light tug on the reins before calling out. "Yip-yip!" And the flying bison steadily took to the sky. "Alright, all I need you to do know is tell me where I need to go.." he spoke in a stern tone, turning around to bit to face the still masked prince with a risen brow. "And you can take that thing off y'know...it's not like you're still being sneaky or whatever.." the teen spoke, rolling his eyes slightly before looking back in front of him to look at the land below them.
Mean while Aang was beginning to lose patience and was about ready to just make a run for it, but of course he heard the all too familiar voice of the commander, who shouted orders at his men after realizing the Avatar had escaped...

As they flew though the sky Zuko sat himself in the back corner of the saddle and leaned on it with an arm. He gazed out over the land below for a few moments before looking over to the other male, “Just keep heading that way…You’ll see a clearing, land there, it’s not too far away from the Prison.” Zuko explained pointing over in the right direction. Zuko had almost forgotten that he still had the mask on, “Oh, right…Yeah I guess I can…Seeing as you already know who I am…” He said reaching up behind his head with a hand to untie the mask. “How did you know it was me anyway?” He asked curiously as he removed the mask from his face and set it down in his lap.

(Heh...Wow I slept in a bit longer than expected....Sorry for the shortness, just got up XD DX )

Sokka listened closely to Zuko's directions before bending down a bit. "Did you here that Oppa? Just a little that way!" He told the flying bison. It grumbled in response and headed into the direction In which he was told to go in. The water tribe boy then climbed over onto the saddle, sitting on the opposite side, facing the prince as he brushed the white fur from his pants. "Hm? Oh it was simple, really" he said with a light chuckle before continuing. "Unlike most people I'm very observant...I could tell by the swords you got there. I remember seeing them on your ship..." he replied, also not wanting to mention he it was the prince by his body build, he didn't want to sound weird. Sokka shrugged his shoulders and looked away. "But eh, it's whatever. For the most parts that's a pretty good disguise I suppose. The least thing I would expect is seeing you in blue." The teen added before getting back up to sit back down on Oppa's head, grabbing ahold of the reins once again. "Alright, we're close. Let's start heading down!" He called out to Oppa as he nodded in response before carefully beginning to descend.

Zuko rolled his golden eyes as the boy spoke to the Bison before removing the mask off of his face. He looked over to the other as he climbed over into the saddle and sat opposite him, he rose a brow slightly at his words. Simple? How was it simple? The prince though as he listened to what the water tribe boy said next. “My swords?....Oh…” He responded quietly, he did not think that anyone would recognise them. He looked away as well, looking back out over the land. Zuko let out a single ‘Ha’ in response to the boys other comment, “I guess not..” He said looking back over to Sokka who stood back up and climbed out of the saddle to sit back on the Bison’s head. The prince looked down at his blue and white mask for a few moments before watching as they began to head downwards. As soon as they landed Zuko stood up, and put his mask back on.
“Well, I’ll go get the Avatar now…” He said jumping down from the saddle and onto the dewy ground below with a soft grunt. He looked back up to Sokka for a few seconds, before quickly dashing into the woods….
It was not that long before Zuko found the Prison complex again, he took a deep breath and climbed back up the rope from before and quickly snuck off to find the Avatar again. Silently running though the complex he could hear shouting and many people moving. He wondered what was going on, but it did not take him long to realize what. As he rounded a corner he skidded to a stop with wide eyes, he’d almost ran right into a group of guards. They stared at him for a few seconds before running toward him pointing their spears at him, “Get him!” They called out as Zuko quickly turned tail and tried to make a run for it. He ran for only a few strides before running into another group of guards. His heart raced in his chest as he backed himself up into a corner eyeing the two groups of guards as they closed in on him….

When they finally landed on the ground with a light thud, Sokka watched as the prince prepared himself by putting on his mask once again. Though before Zuko hopped off the saddle, the water tribe boy quickly grabbed ahold of his arm, staring into his golden eyes. "Wait!" he exclaimed. "Don't make me want to kill you again please.." He muttered, though it's not like he could anyways... as he released the slightly older teen, his blue gaze watched as he made a run for it into the dense woods.
Aang remained as quiet as possible, hoping he wouldnt be seen. it was all until he heard more commotion from not too far away. His eyes lit up and smiled widely. "He's back!" he mumbled before finally hopping out of the hiding place he was told to stay in for the time being and dashed down the winding hallways into the direction in which he heard the yelling guards. The boy came to a halt when he saw the large group of guards crowding over he single Blue Spirit. He furrowed his brows as he took a deep breath and exhaled out a strong gust of wind, blowing a few of the guards against the walls. "Did you find my staff?" the boy asked, while forcing a fist out in a punch like motion, sending another smaller gust of wind to keep one of the guards off of him.
Meanwhile Sokka sat in the large saddle of the flying bison anxiously awaiting for their return, pacing back and forth as well.

As Zuko backed up further in the corner he began to reach for his swords, however paused slightly when a seemly random gust of air knocked a few of the guards over. He looked at the other guards, before shooting his head over toward where a young boy’s voice called out. Zuko held the Staff in his hands, and chucked it over to him hoping he’d catch it. Before he could see if he did or not a few of the guards attacked him. Quickly he whipped out his blades and swung them skilfully though the air, hitting them a few times. Once those guards were dealt with he rushed over to some others and fought them off alongside the Avatar….Something he never though he’d be doing…

The boy quickly grabbed ahold of his staff and spun around in a circular motion, using the staff to help him gather up the air around him and sent a few of the guards across the hall. By now the Avatar was back to back with the Blue Spirit as he fought off as many as he possibly could. When the last few guards where taken out my the masked stranger Aang smiled widely and threw his hands up. "Nice job!" He exclaimed with a light laugh, before quickly looking over the narrow hallway that had many bodies of Fire Nation soldiers spread out along the steel floors. "Yikes...I didn't realize how many there were.." he mumbled, scratching the back of his head before hearing more voices off into the distance. "We gotta go! Come on!" He spoke quickly before making his way back towards the window. "Hold on tight!" The Avatar warned with a light smile before jumping off the ledge of the window, manipulating the air beneath him so they glide evenly through the sky, however as he looked down he noticed archers getting ready to shoot. "Oh no.." he mumbled a bit worriedly, knowing that if any of those arrows were to tear through the thin paper like fabric of his glider they woouldnt make it for sure.

Fending off the last few guards Zuko swiftly put his blades away and looked over to the Avatar. The Avatar seemed pretty happy, The Blue Spirt followed the young boys gaze over the hall. He shrugged a shoulder in response to his comment, unsure how else to respond. He had to admit that was a lot of men they just fought, but he had a feeling they’d be a lot more waiting outside for them. Quickly Zuko followed after the Avatar as they headed toward the window. Just as he climbed up onto the ledge he looked back, catching the shadows of the nearing men. He looked back to the Avatar wondering how he was going to get them out of her, but he did not have to wonder for long. The Avatar extended his glider and The Blue Spirt crouched down holding onto the boy just above the waist. Moments later the Avatar leaped off of the ledge and the two of them were gliding through the air. Although they were going a little slower; due to the added weight of Zuko, they managed to glide about half way. Zuko looked down, his eyes widening as he could see some Archers loading up their bows with arrows. The Prince looked up to the Avatar, he seemed to have noticed them too. He knew they were sitting ducks here, they needed to move faster….But some of them would have to let go to do that…. Just as they glided over a nearby watch tower, Zuko suddenly let go of the Avatar and landed a top the tower. He stood there, and gave the boy a small wave, watching as the Avatar glided across and soon dipped down behind the prison walls.
Zuko ran across the top of the wall for a few minutes, before jumping down and landing on the outside of the Prison, but just as he did he noticed Zhao appearing out of the corner of his golden eyes. This was not good. Quickly Zuko ran over to where the Avatar was, as he did he could hear Zhao yelling orders to his men. Standing a little bit behind the Avatar Zuko watched as a large group of guards charged out and quickly swarmed them. Zuko back up a little.
“Give up Avitar, you’re surrounded!” Zhao called out from his position on the wall. Zuko looked up and over to him, he really wanted to yell something back to him, but kept his mouth shut for fear of being identified. As he watched Zhao, he noticed the archers aiming their arrows and pulling them back…

As they glided trough the air, the Avatar could feel small beads of sweat trickling down his forehead as he stared down below, seeing as there were many soldiers and guards all over. The boy's eyes widened when the Blue Spirit had let go of him, looking down the boy shouted. "Hey what are yo-?!" But quickly quieted down seeing that the stranger landed safely on the roof and waved to him. The Avatar then caught on and with a nod he descended down over the wall, only to see the armada of men surround him, furrowing his brows deeply and he clenched onto his staff. He turned his glance to the masked man when he hopped over he wall and landed near him. His eyes darting all around to the dozens of soldiers surrounding them until his attention was heard from the top of the wall, looking up the arrowheaded boy could see the figure of the commander. "No way!" He shouted back with an attitude, though took a half-step back upon seeing the archers pull back their arrows. Only then did the boy realize that they were clearly outnumbered. ((Should we have him go into his Avatar state or have Sokka come to the rescue? 😂 XD))
Meanwhile Sokka was becoming anxious, it had only been about thirty minutes, but to the water tribe boy it felt like hours had gone by. "Oppa, I feel like something isn't right..." he mumbled, fiddling with his machete as he sat on the large saddle. The flying bison huffed softly, for he was too busy munching on the nearby shrub leaves. "What should we do? They're taking way too long..." the teen worried with the face expression to match as he stared up at the moon before over at the dense forest where Zuko ran off into...((I'm also so sO SORRY for not replying, this week has been ridiculously busy for me I apologize xc))

The Blue Spirt’s eyes kept darting from Zhao to the Archers, his heart beat heavily in his chest and he panted a little. He was beginning to tire, due to lack of sleep and all this fighting and high action. Zuko gave Zhao and his Archers one final glace before looking at the men around him, and then to the Avatar who yelled back at the commander. There was a few seconds of tense silence, before a response could be herd coming from Zhao.
“Very well….Have it your way Avatar..” There was something unsettling in the way he spoke. Zuko narrowed his eyes as Zhao seemed to stare down at him before saying something to one of the archers beside him. Then seconds later a single arrow was shot toward them, Zuko jumped back as the arrow stabbed itself into the ground just inches away from his feet. He growled slightly and reached for his blades, but ended up ducking down narrowly missing another arrow. Zuko frowned deeply, finally managing to whip out his blades, he looked over to the Avatar, then to the men around them, then back up to the archers who were getting ready to shoot another arrow and finally to Zhao. It was then when an Idea come to his mind, he looked down at his blades that he held and then over to the Avatar. Then without warning Zuko snuck up behind the Avatar and crossed his blades around the boys neck, as though threatening to kill him. Zuko stared at Zhao, watching his every move.
Zhao rose a hand signalling to his men to hold fire, “Wait..” He order them. Zuko kept his eye on the man. “Let them go…” Zhao order loudly. Zuko’s eyes widened in surprise as the guards around him parted. He was not expecting his plan to actually work. Slowly he began to back away from the group, keeping his blades around the Avatars neck the whole time…
After a little while, Zuko stopped noticing movement in the nearby bushes…Then just as he turned his head to look back toward the Prison an arrow hit him just under his chin and sent him flying back. He let go of his blades as he hit the ground hard, he struggled a little trying to stand back up however failed and ended up flopping back down on his back falling unconscious.
