Divided We Fall: PART 1 (of 4) Mini Comic Book

Hey guys, TMT here, and I bought B2 Voltoday and I got the exclusive mini comic that came with it. They weren't lying about it being short, but they did lie when they said each episode would have commentary from the cast & crew, which sucks. But I thought I would post it for those who don't have this yet! Here it is!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

*The wind is blowing hard as a heavy rainstorm is blowing against the GAang, who are flying on Appa*

(The parts where I have to italisize are when they show the pictures and when I try to decipher them. Ok, back to comic!)

Sokka: I thought you said it would be smooth sailing to Hiroku Canyon!

Katara: Do I look like a weather oracle? This storm came out of nowhere!

Sokka: *to Aang* Can't you bend some of this wind out of our way?

Aang: *while airbending ahead* I am Sokka.

Sokka: *watching his own wolf-tail fly around* Well, you're doing a great job. I don't feel like my life is in the least bit of danger!

Toph: Will you please be quiet so Aang can concentrate?

Sokka: *looking over to Toph* Sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bison this morning.

Katara: *looking down* Maybe we should set down here.

Aang: The trees are too thick here to make a safe landing...*sees a big distant object* Wait! There's something up ahead!

Toph: Some of us aren't too good with visuals, you know. Details, please!

Aang: *concentrates on looking harder* It's a tower, Toph. A mile away...maybe two. I think we can--

*A strong gust of wind from the side blasts Momo off the saddle he screeches loudly*

Momo: SQUEEEEE!

Aang: Momo!

Sokka: Um...this can't be good.

*Momo continues to fly back, then Toph grabs his tail at the last second thanks to her hearing*

Momo: EEEK!!

Toph: Nice scream, Momo!

Aang: *takes a quick breath while looking back* Whew! That was close. Great catch Toph!

*Both Sokka and Katara look ahead looking frightened*

Katara: AANG!!

Aang: *looks at Katara heartily while waving* Hi Katara!

Katara: TURN AROUND!

*The distant object turned out to be a twister and crashed into Appa. He spins out of control and everyone falls off of him*

Everyone except Aang: AAAHH!

Aang: Hang on, I'm coming!

*With Everyone falling down, Aang trys to grab his staff while everyone continues to fall*

Sokka: *calmy dispite falling* This is gonna hurt, isn't it?

You guys should REALLY buy the DVD so that if you need to reveiw anything on the 1st 5 episodes you can. Also that you can actually look and read the mini comic inside. The art and coloring is awesome, so you'll enjoy it! Part 2, I'm guessing, will come out with Volume 2 (coming out April 10)

Book2: Chapter19: Fight of the Rebels

All right guys, this is action! You can probably guess already who will face who. If not, oh well! Here's "Fight of the Rebels"

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Man, it's getting annoying writing that over and over...

“So…you’re Jet…” said Noku, looking right into his enemy’s eyes.

“This is a Firebender. You trust him?!” said Jet to the GAang in disbelief.

“He’s a rebel like you, so drop your weapons!” yelled Ito, prepared for a fight in case things go wrong.

Jet ordered his fighters to stand down and they did. Jet dropped both his swords on the ground to show his allegiance. However, Noku was shaking so bad that it seemed he could explode any second. He had smoke coming from his nostrils and sparks of fire from his tight fists. He also seemed to completely forget about his wound as it was still not completely healed.

“Noku, please relax, please,” begged Toph. “I know this is hard, but you need to control yourself!”

Noku ignored everyone and concentrated only on the freedom fighter in front of him.

“So…you’re Jet…my parent’s murderer…” said Noku.

“What? I never killed anyone…that I know of,” said Jet.

Those last 4 words Jet spoke made Noku’s eyes flaring fire like when he was in Nanjing.

“I’d grab those swords if I were you,” said Noku, as he had bits lightning coming out of his fingers as well as from his knuckles.

“Jet, run!” yelled Toph.

Jet just stood there, confused. Noku didn’t bother to let him have a chance. He shot out a humongous fireball at Jet at full speed as his eyes were now completely on fire along with anger and rage. Jet barely dived out of the way in time, now shocked.

“Thought you said he was friendly!” yelled Jet at the gang.

Noku spun around and around like he was airbending and then created a twister-like fire cloud. The Firebender jumped out of the fire tornado and then bended it at Jet. He tried to slash it away with his hooked swords, but he was knocked down by the tremendous force of the Outcast. Just a few minutes earlier Noku was a happy calm person with Toph, but now he was the enraged Firebender with fire in his eyes looking for revenge.

 “Noku, please settle down! I know you’re upset about finding him but he changed!” yelled Katara.

“I can never forgive a murderer!!” yelled Noku back to Katara.

He charged his power and now he was in his electric/fire armor and charged at Jet. The Freedom Fighter was dodging each punch, jab, and kick, but only by a few inches and he never had an opening to counter against the Outcast.

“Help me out!” ordered Jet, as he tried to deflect Noku’s jabs with his swords.

His Freedom Fighters closed on the Firebender with their swords, but Noku just glared at them with his fire eyes and they backed off. However, the one known as Smellerbee continued to move in and Noku had 1 fist pointing at Jet and the other at Smellerbee. The female Freedom Fighter grabbed a second sword she had and charged at the Firebender. Thanks to being a true friend, Ito stepped in and blocked Smellerbee’s vertical slashes that were about to hit Noku.

“If you face Noku, you face me!” exclaimed Ito, using his left hand to hold the handle of his 3-foot long sword and the right hand bended small amounts of earth up.

Ito then bended the small amount of earth into Smellerbee’s face and then slashed both of her swords out of her hands. He then slightly stabbed the earth and then Smellerbee was surrounded in some earth cocoon and couldn’t struggle free.

The others of the GAang couldn’t do anything. They didn’t know who to side with: An enemy turned old friend or a friendly Firebender who’s just now as crazy as a platypus-bear.

Noku turned back to Jet and attacked him with quick jabs at full speed again. Jet was able to dodge them and turned around and broke into a run as soon as Noku tried to do an aggressive street punch.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU MURDERER!!” yelled Noku in a dark-spirit voice.

He blasted fire behind him into jet-like flares and flew to the fleeing Freedom Fighter. He was looking darker than Azula was when she was charging at Aang back in Ba Sing Se with his fire eyes flaring. He was about stop and let the jet flames burn Jet when he noticed another arrow flying toward him from the tall trees. He somehow grabbed the arrow itself when it came to him, made it on fire from his armor, and threw it at Jet. Jet managed to slash away the burning arrow and get back on the offensive.

“How can he calm down?!” yelled Jet, as he charged at Noku.

Noku just stood there, waiting for Jet to strike. Jet slashed one sword vertically and then swung the other horizontally right after. Both missed Noku as he simply stepped back and then lowered his body while still on both feet. Another arrow came flying toward Noku, but was slashed away by Ito and he then bended a boulder into the trees from where it came from. The archer known as Longshot came flying down and fired an arrow at a nearby tree. The arrow was connected to some rope that was connected to his waist. He then swung down and landed in front of Ito. He grabbed 2 small daggers from his waistband and started to swipe at Ito. This archer was clearly not that skilled with melee weapons as Ito just swung his sword horizontally to where the daggers were and both came flying out of Longshot’s hands. He also then found himself in an earth cocoon on the ground as Ito repeated the same process when he was facing Smellerbee.

Noku, thanks to his extra speed from the electricity, was dodging all of Jet’s slashes without breaking a sweat and without breaking eye contact. It was really intimidating for Jet as the fire eyes of this Firebender never came off his own eyes. When Jet swung both his swords at the same time, Noku grabbed them both from the handles and sent electricity flowing through the hooked swords and into the Freedom Fighter. They electrocuted Jet as he let go of his 2 best weapons as soon as the electricity reached him. Noku grabbed both swords and they both turned into electricity and fire at the same time. The Outcast just yelled loudly and stabbed both hooked swords deep into the ground that sent an electric current through the ground. But as soon as the visible electric current as right next to the fallen Jet, it vaporized and Noku’s armor just died out instantly. He had used so much energy with the wound he had in his shoulder that it used more energy then ever. Noku just grabbed his injured shoulder and looked right at Jet.

“I have to learn to not let my rage control me completely. I’ll let you live, but remember that you were spared by the Outcast,” said Noku, as the fire in his eyes died out.

He let go of Jet’s 2 swords that were still in the ground and just walked back to where the camp was at, holding onto his wound.

“Ok, I’m really confused….what just happened?!” asked Sokka.

“That was pretty cool though,” said Aang, amazed at Noku’s ability to make his electric/fire armor.

“I’m also a bit confused; he’s never like this. The only time he did that was yesterday in Nanjing,” said Ito.

“What exactly happened yesterday in that town?” asked Aang.

Ito told of all the events of the Battle of Nanjing and how it was destroyed. He, however, left out the part with Noku and Toph’s moment.

“Wow, so Noku is going to become something like the Guider that controlled both of us?” asked Sokka.

“That’s what Toph told me, but I just think he’s going berserk,” replied Ito. “Hey Toph…uh…Toph?”

They all stared at Toph to see her exactly the way she was before the fight, crying. She had tears trailing down both of her eyes.

“Why can’t he control himself better?” asked Toph to herself while looking down.

Book2: Chapter18: Unexpected and Unwanted

Mostly a filler, but an improtant one. Chapter 18!

They looked around the empty space to see absolutely nothing. Noku was still looking completely sad of his once home.

“If the Fire Nation is brave enough to declare war on the entire world for 100 years, why isn’t it brave enough to rebuild a town?” asked Noku.

“It’s scared of the freedom fighters that roam near here. They are-, “started Ito.

“-led by my parents’ murderer, Jet. I know,” interrupted Noku, looking tense suddenly.

“Maybe the freedom fighters make sure no one enters this area. I actually feel we’re being watched,” said Sokka, looking around at the trees.

“I feel like firebending someone,” said Noku suddenly, making tight fists.

Toph walked up to him and held onto his wrist. He loosened his fists as soon as her hand touched his wrist.

“Remember what happened yesterday. You don’t want to act like that again,” said Toph, looking to where his head was at.

“Yeah, I guess. Man I’m going to hate that in the future,” said Noku, slightly annoyed.

“Lady’s charm,” finished Toph.

“Well, we can still set up camp here. The ground is soft because of that flood. It’s a good place to sleep,” said Ito, feeling the ground with his sword.

“We can also practice bending here. Enough space for fire and earth, and we can bend the water out of the soil,” said Aang, grabbing his staff.

“I call corner!” yelled Ito, as he got his sleeping bag and laid it at the corner of the wall.

 

Nighttime came as Aang and Katara were waterbending with the dirty water from the ground. Sokka and Ito were talking about their weapons and how which is better and why. Noku and Toph were taking a walk around the remains of the wall that surrounded the town.

“I used to meditate over here and-wait, you can feel where I’m pointing at right?” asked Noku.

Toph nodded and continued to listen to Noku’s life. He talked about where he would practice after he came here from the Academy, what he and some other Firebenders would do at certain times, and even where he one time burned an animal on accident and blamed it on one of his friends and worked. They were approaching the forest that was said to contain the old tree houses of the Freedom Fighters. It hasn’t been confirmed that if they left for good or not, but that didn’t stop Noku and Toph from enjoying their night stroll.

“So what about your life, what was it like?” asked Noku.

“I told you, my life was overprotected and boring. The only thing I liked about it is when I battled in the earth tournaments underground,” said Toph. “Luckily Twinkle Toes, Sugar Queen, and Snoozles found me and encouraged me to join them.”

“Sorry,” replied Noku.

They walked toward a rather steep hill. They were on a path that was supposed to lead them around the steep hill and further into the forest. Noku just looked at Toph with a small grin on his face.

“No thanks, I can walk fine,” said Toph, knowing what he was thinking.

“I just thought so because when if there was a landslide?” asked Noku.

“I said no thanks.”

Noku turned to Toph and grabbed her hand. They both blushed slightly at the touch.

“You sure?” asked Noku, smiling now at her.

“Nice try, but still, no thanks.”

Then, they both heard a sound of an arrow flying and were at full alert. Next thing that happened, Noku got hit in his left shoulder with an arrow at full speed. He tried to stay up, but it sucked the energy out of him as well as a few drops of blood.

“Noku!” yelled Toph, as she felt where the arrow was at.

She gently, but aggressively, pulled the arrow out of Noku. He screamed in pain at first and then held the rest of the pain in

“Ouch! Who’s there damnit!!” yelled Noku, holding his shoulder.

Then, out of the trees came out 5 armed people surrounding the 2 benders. The 4 on the sides were armed with katana swords while the middle one had a piece of wheat from his mouth and 2 hooked swords in his hands.

“Stay right where you are, pathetic Firebender,” ordered the person.

“Pathetic? You mean 5 of you have to surround a ‘pathetic’ Firebender like me?” asked Noku, taunting him to attack.

But before anyone else could react, they all saw the gang appear behind the middle person and ran to him.

“Jet, stop! This is our friend!” yelled Aang.

“….Jet?” said Noku quietly.

Cliffhanger, WOOT!! lol, sorry, for that.

Book2: Chapter17: The Night That Was Forever

Ok, ok, this chapter is romance for the 1st half and then just general after. And yes, it's the moment the Kataang shippers have been waiting for (if they expected it)! Also, their will be NO action until Chapter 19 of Book 2, sorry, but that's just how I wrote it. But seriously, I can't put action in every chapter. But I will tell you a little spoiler about the next Book:

Over half the chapters in Book 3 are all action. Some are even so long, I may have to split them into seperate parts. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

It was now, finally, one day after the Battle of Nanjing. Only the guys of the GAang were awake. Sokka was on Appa’s head. Ito was daydreaming out into space. Toph was sleeping on Noku’s lap while Katara on Aang’s lap.

“So when did you and Katara get together?” asked Noku.

“Since the night before you told me about how to master the Avatar State,” replied Aang, looking down at Katara.

“What exactly happened?” asked Noku. “I thought it was after we left Ba Sing Se.”

*Flashback*

Aang was sitting on the edge of a cliff. He was exhausted after his fight with the Guider of the Darkness. He remembered what Noku said about firebending while not in top form. That’s why some of his flames died out before they hit the witch. He heard Katara sit next to him over the cliff.

“Nice fight. You’ve shown how good you were with firebending,” said Katara.

“Yeah, I only wish I hadn’t blown that blue fire blast at him,” replied Aang.

“I just want to know how you made that fire blue.”

“What?”

“How did you make blue fire? Even Noku can’t make blue fire.”

He just looked at her in the eyes.

“Noku told me to think of the most awful thought that could happen. And…”

“And what?”

“It was if you…perished,” replied Aang.

Katara held her hand over her mouth, blushed, and looked at him in the eyes.

“Noku was right,” said Katara.

“What?”

“You DO love me,” answered Katara.

Aang didn’t know what to do. It was either now or never for him to say it.

“Yes…I…I love you Katara,” said Aang.

Katara was now blushing so much now. Aang was just about to get up when Katara did the same. They turned to each other and slowly came closer. Then they shared a kiss when a shooting start flew in the background.

*Present Time*

“Aang, hello?” said Noku.

“Huh?”

“You were staring into space for like a whole minute. What happened that night?” asked Noku.

“It was a night that lasted forever,” replied Aang, looking at the sleeping Waterbender.

“I don’t really get it.”

“Well, what happened with you and Toph yesterday?” asked Aang.

Noku looked up and then chuckled while smiling.

“I guess you can call it that too,” said Noku.

“Wow, went according to plan huh?

“We’re almost at your town Noku!” yelled Sokka from Appa’s head.

“Yeah…I’ll get to see the town rebuilt,” replied Noku. “Hope that everyone is there still.”

Then, in a blink of an eye, flashbacks started to race through Noku’s mind. Him and some friends firebending for fun, he and his parents shopping and traveling around the small village’s walls, him helping the little girl with the doll named ‘Mrs. Pretty’, and finally the final happy day before the town got flooded by Jet and his Freedom Fighters. Noku was now feeling as excited as Aang was when he asked him to teach him firebending.

Appa flew lower to see the town that was supposed to be there. But when it was within’ sight range, it was an empty space.

“Why isn’t it rebuilt?” asked Noku to himself.

They woke up the 2 girls and landed in the space that was a town.

“So, this is where you grew up?” asked Toph, touching the ground.

“Yep, the town that was under the control of my nation that I rebelled,” replied Noku. “And now it’s this empty space…”

Odd Things I Notice At School (PART 2)

WTF is wrong with everyone at the school?!

During history class, we started to talk to events that led to the explanation of the terrorists attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 and:

Ready?

Over 3/4 of the class was like "What happened on 9/11?" and before my teacher told us when, ppl were like "Was this recent?"

THIS IS BS!!! No wonder many ppl are opposing the War on Terrorism, SOME DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT STARTED THE WHOLE THING!! (hence the word "some", not looking for trouble)

I'm not going to start a political discussion, but I'm just saying, ppl at my school are clueless. However, if you're not American, it's alright if you don't know what 9/11 was; it happened in America.

Book2: Chapter16: A New Member of the GAang

Hey, should I label every chapter like "action" or "comedy" to let you know on what to expect? If so, this is a comedy mostly.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

It was around midnight and the flames of the battle were still blazing in the dark and starry sky. Noku and Toph were still laying next to each other in the battlegrounds of Nanjing. They were both exhausted and weak from the long-fought Battle of Nanjing. Noku had his eyes shut while Toph’s were half open. Ito was brushing off the dirt on his long sword and was sitting on top of a destroyed tank.

“Some battle, an entire division against 3 children,” joked Noku.

“Yeah…” said Toph, still blushing from their kiss and was now in a dream world.

“We should get back to the area you’re supposed to meet Dang, Bang, or whoever,” said Ito, looking at them both.

Ito was actually trying to avoid the little scene that he saw earlier with Noku and Toph, but he has planed to use this in defense sometime in the future.

“Yeah, but it felt like when I was that….thing….it used all my energy,” said Noku, trying to get up.

“And when the electricity was going through me, it pretty much got me good,” said Toph, also trying to get up.

They both got up slowly got up and tried to regain energy. Noku felt dizzy at first and then had a dry feeling.

“Ok, now I’m thirsty,” said Noku.

“Really thirsty,” added Toph.

“Didn’t you have some in your bag at the meeting area?” asked Ito.

“Yeah, I think I can walk that far with some help,” replied Toph, looking at Noku.

“I’ll help,” said Noku, grabbing her arm and putting it over and around his neck. “I can carry you completely, but I’m too weak.”

“Whatever Fire-head, let’s just get there before the Fire Nation arrive with a whole army this time,” said Toph.

“What about the nurses?” asked Ito, looking at the nurses that were still shocked of the battle.

“Leave them, they’ll be the ones to tell the Fire Nation of this battle,” replied Noku, helping Toph walk. “And to tell of us for the future books in history.”

Ito jumped off the tank, strapped his sword back onto his back, and then they headed out of the city gates and toward the meeting place up the hill. They traveled slower and slower as the hill steepened. Noku noticed how Toph’s breathing was getting a little louder every minute and how she looked down.

“Forget it, I’m your transport now,” said Noku.

He put his other arm under Toph’s leg, lifted her, and was now carrying her up the hill like a superhero.

“You know I can walk still, right?” asked Toph, blushing as she strapped her arms around the Outcast’s neck.

“Yeah, but you need to get better; your breathing was getting louder,” replied Noku.

“Hey, Fire Nation Oma and regular-but-blind Shu, can we just get up this hill?” asked Ito, looking back at them from the front with one arm on his waist and the other just hanging in the air.

“We’re going, we’re just talking,” replied Noku.

“Whatever…just don’t go all freaky Omashu when I’m here. Great…now I have images! Get them out!!” said Ito, shaking his head like he was serious.

They finally arrived at the meeting place and Noku put Toph down slowly.

“Are you going to do that all the time from now on?” asked Toph.

“I can if you want me to, in fact, I don’t mind at all,” said Noku, stretching his arms.

“Only when I want a lift.”

The trio were now just sitting on tree stumps and waiting for the GAang to come by; which was any minute. They were all bored and Ito was looking at some turtle ducks walking by and into the pond nearby. He looked as he was about to hunt one as he was about to draw his sword from his back but then the Firebender started to talk.

“Since you call me Fire-head, can I call you a name too?” asked Noku, looking at Toph.

“No.” replied Toph, crossing her arms.

“Ok fine…Powder-puff?”

“No!”

“How about Pebble-gal?”

“NO!”

“Oh, I know a good one, Butt-kicker?”

“Better…but NO!!

JUST SHUT UP!! YOU 2 ARE SO ANNOYING!!! Oh, and they’re here,” said Ito quickly at the last sentence.

Appa and the rest of the GAang arrived and landed near the trio. Ito stepped back in fear as Appa was looking right at him.

“Hey guys!” said Aang from Appa’s head.

“What’s up?” replied Noku.

“You…uh…3 alright? We saw so much smoke from Nanjing,” said Katara.

“We also heard someone yelling like a hog monkey right before we landed,” said Sokka, sticking his finger in his ear.

“Yeah, we’re alright, but I think we have a new member of our gang,” replied Noku.

They all looked at Ito. He then gave a shocked look at Noku.

“Are you serious?!” yelled Ito.

“Your father is in the Fire Nation. You heard it from that officer yourself. When we get to the Fire Nation, we can look for your father along the way,” explained Noku. “Never leave your friend behind, right?”

“Thanks man…thanks,” said Ito, shaking Noku’s hand hard.

“Ok, what in the world happened today in this city?” asked Sokka.

“You don’t want to know!” said Noku, Toph, and Ito at the same time.

‘And you wouldn’t believe it either’ thought Ito, looking at Noku and Toph with the corner of his eye.

SPECIAL Book2: Chapter15: The Battle of Nanjing

This is a special chapter because it has the best action (in my opinion) in all of Book 2 and has a big part in the entire "The Outcast" series. It's also the longest in Book 2 so enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender"

Noku, Ito, and Toph walked away from the battle site. They were deciding what to do with the scroll along the way.

“We should just rip it up right now! If someone loyal to the Fire Nation finds it, they’ll deliver it to the Fire Lord!” said Ito.

“I’d like to see them try to take it. Also that I just want to show everyone else; they’ll want proof what we found,” replied Noku.

“We’re here,” said Toph.

It seemed like nothing like it was when they left. Only a small space in the middle surrounded by tall trees was there.

“Are you sure this is the place?” asked Noku, rolling up the scroll.

“Yeah, I changed it a bit to hide our stuff,” replied Toph.

She earthbended some rocks and dirt around and it revealed their bags and Toph’s original clothes hanging from a branch.

“Some campsite,” joked Ito.

“We didn’t make a campsite, we just set our stuff here,” said Toph.

They grabbed their stuff and Toph changed back into her Earth Kingdom clothes. Noku put the scroll into his new and light bag (his old one is still at the house in Ba Sing Se) that he bought from Nanjing. It was dark red and had 2 black strings to close the bag up. He then saw Toph fixing her hair back to normal.

“You shouldn’t fix your hair back to normal, it looks perfect let out,” said Noku.

“Sorry, but I fight better with my original style; my hair can get in my way sometimes,” replied Toph, placing the bun on her head.

“How?! You can’t….well--”

“--Sorry to interrupt your loving conversation, but I need to head back to Nanjing to see my dad, he should be better by now,” said Ito.

“We’ll come too, we still have a couple of hours to kill,” replied Noku.

Toph, again, bended the ‘campsite’ around to hide her bag (which had her Fire Nation dress inside), Noku strapped on his new bag onto his back, and Ito checked that his sword was still on his back. They walked out toward Nanjing and re-entered the city. The festival was at its conclusion and was pretty much over, everyone was calm and normal again, and people cleaning the streets of trash.

“It’ll be easier to get through here now that everyone has settled down,” said Noku, looking around.

“True, also that I’m no longer in my dress,” said Toph.

“Wait, wouldn’t the Fire Nation recognize you then?” asked Ito, looking suspicious.

“No, there were a couple of people with Earth Kingdom clothes here, we’ll be fine,” replied Noku.

They entered the hospital of Nanjing. They saw it rather empty and dirty. There were only some nurses walking around the place. Ito walked up to the counter to ask for his dad’s room number.

“I’m sorry, he isn’t available right now,” replied the nurse.

“What do you mean?! He should be in here recovering still!” asked Ito.

The door opened to reveal 4 men of the Fire Nation. They all had unique armor on as it had more black on it than red. These men were probably elite police forces as the men had the Fire Nation emblem on the shoulder pad and the initials ‘NPF’ on their chest pads in red.

“If you’re looking for your father, Ito, he isn’t here,” said the officer, with his arms crossed.

“Where is he?!” yelled Ito.

“If only you were actually Fire Nation and not Earth Kingdom, maybe we would’ve treated him better,” continued the officer.

“WHERE IS HE?!!” yelled Ito again, as he drew his long sword and pointed it at him.

The 3 other soldiers got into a stance as they prepared to blast fire out. Toph, as well as Noku, got into their stance as well.

“I’m guessing we’re going to fight the Nanjing Police Force to get out of here?” asked Noku.

Ito was looking like he never had looked before as he had an awful face that closely resembled that of a dark spirit, shaking as he held his 3-foot long sword at the Fire Nation soldiers.

“Now, now child, your father is in the Fire Nation now. If you surrender, we’ll gladly take you to him,” said the officer.

“HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK I AM?!” yelled Ito.

He swung his sword horizontally at the NPF troopers, as they easily dodged it.

“Come now child, you can’t defeat us all by yourself,” said the officer, in his firebending stance.

“He isn’t alone!” yelled Noku.

He punched out fire at the troopers. They blocked the blast, retreated out of the hospital by stepping back, and locked the doors.

“Burn the building down, we evacuated the wounded earlier,” ordered the officer.

“What about the nurses?” asked one of the troopers that was shorter than the rest.

“They’ll die honorably,” replied the officer.

They blasted out fire at the building as it erupted into flames.

Inside, Toph was making a tunnel in the ground leading out of the building while many of the nurses were crying for help.

“Everyone into the tunnel and follow me!” yelled Toph.

The nurses, Noku, and Ito followed her. She closed the entrance as the smoke was about to enter it and after the last nurse entered the tunnel. She continued to dig through quickly but many boulders started to appear and the cave started to get more cramped by every time Toph pushed through the earth.

“Ito, help me clear a path,” said Toph.

Ito drew out his sword again and he slashed clean through the boulders without any dust coming out, making the tunnel wider for the people following them. Toph realized that she couldn’t push the last boulder up to the surface again.

“Ito, help me push this boulder up,” said Toph.

Ito looked like he stabbed the air near the boulder as he pushed it up. They finally reached the surface to see themselves surrounded by the elite Firebenders of the NPF and the officer from earlier.

“Last chance to be spared,” warned the officer.

The trio saw that they were surrounded by tanks as well. Reinforcements started to surround the city as at least 1,000 men were here in Nanjing.

“This isn’t a winnable battle,” whispered Noku.

“We have to try, they won’t spare us either way,” said Toph.

“STRIKE NOW!!” yelled Ito, as he stabbed the ground with his sword to make a large earthquake.

“Fire Nation, meet lightning,” said Noku, as he shot out lightning at the first row of tanks and the 1st 2 exploded on impact with the powerful bolt.

Toph launched a barrage of tiny rocks at the soldiers like if hail was storming the planet.

“Don’t stand there fools, ATTACK!!” ordered the officer, as he tried to shoot fire under pressure of the tiny particles.

The elite Firebenders shot out fire like a dragon breathing out fire. Noku made a giant wall of fire around the nurses to protect them. For him, however, got blasted by some fire and was knocked over. Toph surrounded herself in rocks to make a complete body armor suit and blocked the fire. Ito just seemed to slash the fire to vaporize it. Noku got up and noticed a tank rolling up behind him. He turned and blasted at the cockpit, causing it to explode and hurl Noku back to the ground.

‘Don’t think this is my day; twice already I’ve been knocked down’ thought Noku while on the ground.

Toph just ran at the tanks and ripped them in half and then blocked any fire heading her way with her earth armor. Ito was fighting the most elite Firebenders and was swinging his sword so fast at the soldiers; they didn’t have time to attack. Noku got back up and wiped off his sweat before seeing the rest of the entire division that surrounded the city coming at the trio.

‘Oh this gets better and better’ thought Noku, as he surrounded himself in his electric/fire armor and charged at the whole division.

Noku looked like he was a spirit as he jumped high into the air to launch some of the electricity from his armor. Soldiers were trying to fire at the Outcast, but he used the electricity and fire around him as a little booster and flew around at full speed to dodge the blasts. It was like when Aang surrounded himself in crystal armor and bended the earth and crystals to move around at high speed. Firebenders of the Fire Nation surrounded him and he stopped moving around; standing in his electric/fire armor. They all blasted fire at him, but he bended it to make his old fire coils.

As soon as the fire coils connected to his arm, the electricity mixed with the red fire and now the coils were looking like his armor; only without his body under it. He swung the electric/fire coils at the soldiers and they were all struck down hard. A tank was rolling from behind and fired at him. He turned and swiped the fire back at the tank with his fire coils. The blast turned to an electric ball and it destroyed the tank. He was feeling like he was tired and let his coils die away and continued to charge at soldiers to face them in melee combat with his electric/fire armor.

He punched, jabbed, and kicked as fast as he can, trying to just touch anyone to hurt them enough to quit battling. Noku was now looking like the Guider of the Darkness as he swiped and jabbed anyone he saw and that his reddish-orange eyes were now glowing red. He even almost hit Ito on accident. Ito noticed how berserk Noku was and moved to fight away from him. He moved to Toph and they were fighting back to back, launching rocks everywhere. Toph was mostly firing rocks from the ground at them, causing the soldiers to fly off. Ito was slashing rocks and boulders at the ruthless Firebenders with his sword. He also slashed anyone trying to charge at them with pikes and swords.

“Why are they attacking with an entire Division?!” yelled Ito, while fighting a pike man.

“They probably know about the message!” yelled back Toph, bending a dull stalagmite to push a tank over and over into a building.

“They’re here to retrieve it, DESTROY IT!” yelled Ito.

Noku ignored Ito’s order and continued to fight like a demon. He seemed to no longer be himself as he blasted fire from his eyes and shot lightning at every tank. The Fire Nation’s numbers were falling rapidly. Some of the elite soldiers were even retreating from the demon. His eyes were now glowing like if they were on fire; just like the Guider of the Darkness. Ito stopped fighting to see this.

“Uh…Toph…we have a demon on our side!!” yelled Ito, pointing at Noku and having a frightened face.

“How is he a demon?!” yelled back Toph.

Noku was now yelling when he shot out something. It sounded like a dark spirit.

‘Is this how the Guider became itself? It’s a Firebender going berserk and stays in that form? It’s all confusing!’ thought Toph.

While questions were swarming Toph’s head, Noku, or this demon, was now firing lightning from each of his fingertips at the whole Division while still in his electric/fire armor. The front soldiers vanished while everyone else ran out of Nanjing. The Fire Nation was defeated, but now a demon has emerged. He was now hovering a bit with all the velocity and power he was unleashing from his fire and electricity. The pressure to the ground below him was so intense; Toph could still feel him hovering there. Ito backed away more while Toph moved closer to Noku.

“What are you doing Toph?! He’s looks like he’s going to explode any minute!!” yelled Ito.

“I have to try something!” yelled back Toph.

She slowly moved closer to Noku’s hovering body. As her bare feet moved closer, the ground became hotter and hotter. She was now 1 foot away from this demon as she had to surround her feet in thick earth to protect her from the intense heat on the ground.

“Noku! It’s me, Toph!” she yelled.

Noku still didn’t listen. He was still firing lightning in the direction the Fire Nation was retreating and his eyes were now glowing like they were literally on fire. Toph reached where Noku was hovering. But when she grabbed him on the wrist, she was getting electrocuted.

“NO! I’M NOT--GOING TO--GIVE UP!!” yelled Toph.

She then held onto his hand with her other hand and pulled him down a bit. She was getting electrocuted twice as much now. She shut her eyes in pain and hoped that this will end quickly, good or bad. However, the electric flowing was getting much weaker by the second.

“T-T-Toph,” said Noku, slowly in a cracked voice like that of the Guider mixed with his original voice.

His armor died out instantly and his eyes returned to normal as he and Toph fell to the ground. Toph was crying of pain and sadness and she was on her knees. Noku had his whole back on the ground and had his eyes half-open. Toph then felt so weak now as the smoke was clearing around the 2 benders.

“Toph,” whispered the weak Outcast.

“Noku,” whispered back Toph.

“Thanks again.”

“Welcome…again.”

They then shared a kiss as she bent down to his head and the fire continued to burn in the night after the great battle.

‘Geez…what’s up with Noku and girls?’ thought Ito, as he was behind a destroyed tank watching them and the fire burning throughout the town of Nanjing.

Book2: Chapter14: Convoy Disruption

Disclaimer: I do NOT own "Avatar: The Last Airbender

Noku and Ito tried their best to cover up Toph when they were exiting the restaurant. But it was impossible. One person saw the Blind Bandit and yelled out to her; causing everyone to get up and walk to her. Ito got out his sword and pointed it at the fans.

“Give the Blind Bandit some space!” ordered Ito.

The fans stepped back, but they were still chanting her name out.  Noku was leading Toph out of the crowded area. Though it was hard for Noku to look for a clean way out and take his eyes off Toph. They managed to get outside the restaurant and meet up with Ito.

“Who knew the Fire Nation had the craziest wrestler fans?” said Ito.

“Only Blind Bandit fans, with the others, it’s nothing,” said Noku.

“Thanks,” said Toph.

They were now walking everywhere, trying to see, or feel, anything they wanted to buy while hiding from the crazed fanatics. Noku was looking at some accessories (bracelets and headbands) when Toph walked up to him.

“You didn’t mean to try and gather information, you just wanted to spend some….quality time huh?” asked Toph.

Noku looked embarrassed and turned around.

“Well, you still had fun right?” asked Noku, scratching the back of his head.

“Yep, and I’d say that your plan worked,” replied Toph, blushing.

Noku gave a chuckle and tried to go back to looking for accessories. He couldn’t though because Toph was still standing there.

“What is it?” asked Noku.

Toph didn’t answer; she just looked serious and was concentrating.

“Uh…Toph?” said Noku, raising an eyebrow.

“I think I actually hear something,” said Toph, really concentrating on her hearing.

Noku tried to hear anything too. He couldn’t hear, but he then saw 6 soldiers talking to each other.

“--need to get this message to the Fire Lord immediately,” ordered one of the soldiers.

They nodded and exited the store. Noku and Toph both stared toward each other.

“Thinking what I’m thinking?” asked Noku.

“Disrupt a convoy and you regaining your reputation as the Outcast? Yep!” said Toph.

They grabbed Ito (who was struggling to still buy some headbands) and got out of the market. They tried to follow the 6 soldiers, but both Noku and Ito lost sight of them. However, Toph was still walking in some direction, so Noku and Ito just followed.

 

They were now outside of Nanjing. Noku and Ito both sighted the soldiers again. The 3 stayed low and waited for the right moment, though Ito was still confused.

“What’s with these guys?” whispered Ito.

“They seem to have some important message. And they’re going to have a little delay,” whispered back Toph.

They then saw a Fire Nation tank roll by and stopped in front of the soldiers. This tank seemed larger than usual and had 2 turrets on top instead of only 1.

“You have the message?” asked the person from the cockpit of the tank.

“Right here,” replied one of the ground soldiers, handing him a scroll.

“Good, you 6 will help escort this.”

They bowed and set off for the long walk to their rendezvous point.

“Must be really big if it’s protected by a tank,” whispered Ito.

“Yeah and--wait, where’s Toph?” asked Noku.

But as soon he said it, the tank flew up and then landed back down hard as the earth below it rose up suddenly. Toph was already attacking the convoy.

“Get your butts over here and help me out!” yelled Toph, blocking the fire from the soldiers.

Noku and Ito jumped out of hiding and assisted Toph. Noku kicked out some fire while Ito drew his 3-foot long sword from his back and kept hitting the ground with his sword and hitting the large boulders at the soldiers.

“Wow, a real battle!” exclaimed Ito.

“Keep your head down Ito!” yelled back Noku, dodging the fire blasted from the soldiers.

“You 2 take the soldiers, I’ll finish the tank,” said Toph.

She made a dust cloud and walked to where the tank was at.

“Hey that doesn’t help us!” yelled Noku.

Toph didn’t reply and she vanished within’ the dust cloud.

“Over here!” yelled Ito, pointing his sword in a direction.

The 2 got out of the dust cloud to see the 6 soldiers waiting for the 2. They all were in their firebending stances and looked ready to fight the duo.

“You brats are going to suffer,” said the middle one.

All 6 got had fire coming from their tight fists and gave them awful grins as these guys didn’t know the power of the duo. Noku just chuckled and smiled.

“Ito, just stand back,” said Noku.

Ito was just confused and made a rock wall around himself, but left a hole to see what Noku was going to do. Noku was looking like he was just relaxing. The 6 soldiers punched out all the fire they had at Noku.

“Noku, look out!” yelled Ito from his wall.

Noku just opened his mouth and seemed to suck in the fire. They all just stared at him as it seemed Noku just put a platypus-bear in his mouth. He then swallowed it down to his stomach and burped out some smoke.

“Ouch, that hurt,” said Noku, patting his chest.

The soldiers just punched out more fire at the rebel. The 6 fireballs combined into an inferno and hit Noku. It looked like he was getting vaporized by the fire.

“NOKU!!” yelled Ito.

But he wasn’t getting hit or hurt. He then looked like he was waterbending and the fire then circled him. He was turning it into some kind of armor and then added some electricity from his fingertips to finish the touch. He looked like he was fire while getting electrocuted as he stood their unhurt and glared at the soldiers with his reddish-orange eyes.

“At least that damn Guider taught me one thing,” said Noku.

He sprinted at the soldiers at full power and started jabbing the soldiers. The first 2 were instantly electrocuted and fell down. The other 4 managed to dodge him barely.

“What’s wrong? Is a brat like me too much for you guys?” asked Noku, charging at them again.

 

Meanwhile, Toph was having fun battling the tank. The 2 turrets kept firing at her, but she kept making ditches to duck in to avoid the fire. She then ran at full speed at it. She used the earth to help her jump up and landed on top of the tank. She just ripped off one of the turrets on top like paper and threw the metal at the other turret, damaging it completely. She then jumped off and earthbended all the dirt she can and put it all of it inside the tank. It tried to roll out of the dirt but Toph just walked to one of the front wheels and ripped off a large chunk of it. It was now under the dirt and stuck. Toph was victorious. She then felt a scroll on her foot and grabbed it.

‘Someone will be getting really late mail’ thought Toph, grinning.

She walked back to the other 2 to see all the soldiers wiped out. 3 were electrocuted, 2 were burnt, and one was under a pile of rocks and had a large cut across his arm. She clapped for them as they turned around. Noku let his electric/fire armor die out slowly and Ito put away his sword onto his back again.

“No fair Noku, you got 5 and I only got 1!” yelled Ito.

“Have to be quick,” said Noku, wiping off some ash from the fire.

“Well you 2 can keep arguing, I’m just going to have to find someone to keep this,” said Toph, showing the scroll she found.

Noku smiled and grabbed it.

“You never cease to amaze me Toph,” said Noku.

He opened the scroll. He read through it in his head and had his eyes opened as wide as they can be.

“What does it say?” asked Toph.

“This was from Azula herself. It talks about the fall of Ba Sing Se,” said Noku. “This is perfect! The Fire Nation will continue to try to break into the city from the outside, giving the Water Tribes much more time to gain strength without fighting!”

“So, if this got to the Fire Lord, the Fire Nation would focus on the North Pole?” asked Ito.

“And the South Pole. But since we have this, we helped save the Water Tribe and gave it more time!” said Noku.

“What about the Earth Kingdom?”

“We have to wait until the end of this war to restore it. It has already fallen,” replied Toph, looking down a bit.

“Well, let’s go back to the ‘landing site’ we’re supposed to meet Aang in a couple of hours,” said Noku.

“Sounds good.”

Odd Things I Notice at School (PART 1)

Not a FanFic, but some weird things that I notice at my school in California (BTW, it's a middle school)

2:00 PM, Science Class, My science teacher (who's a mother) was browsing through her labtop to show us some images of stuff of the periodic table. When she exited her main internet screen to open her 'My Documents', her background, ready?

Was Aang on Avatar!

As soon as it showed, everyone was all saying "Hey look, it's Avatar!" and none said it was dumb or anything. She seemed a tiny embarrassed about it since she didn't say anything.

Another thing I noticed that when she took it off a few weeks later (with some rocket blasting off) I asked her why she replaced it. She said that it was some error and she wanted to get it back.

Wait, what?

"SHE WANTED TO GET IT BACK"

So does this mean that my science teacher is a fan of Avatar? Or is it one of her children? This is my biggest Q that I'm trying to answer at school but I never have spare time to ask her this Q directly.

Thanks for reading my random blog!

Book2: Chapter13: The 7th Chakra

Appa was flying at full speed to the Eastern Air Temple. Katara and Sokka looked terrified as they were holding on as tight as they can.

“Can’t we go any slower?!” asked Sokka.

“We can’t waste much time, we only have 3 months until the comet arrives and 2 for the eclipse!” yelled back Aang. “There it is, the Eastern Air Temple!”

Aang pointed at the big temple that was up ahead. Nothing had changed at all since Aang came here earlier to find the Guru the first time. They landed where the Guru usually meditated at. But the Guru wasn’t there.

“Where’s this Guru, Aang?” asked Katara, fixing her blown-off hair.

“He’s usually right here, but now he isn’t,” replied Aang.

“So we flew at the speed of sound for nothing!” yelled Sokka.

Aang didn’t reply, instead, he got off Appa and sat in a meditating position.

“What are you doing?” asked Sokka.

“I’m seeing if I can re-open anything that might’ve been lost,” replied Aang.

“That makes absolutely no sense to me.”

Aang tried to see if he can repeat the process. He already mastered the first 6 Chakras and was trying to find out if he had to repeat the process. He remembered the Fire Chakra, which was the first one. He tried to concentrate on it, but he wasn’t shown a vision like the first time.

‘At least I don’t have to repeat everything’ thought Aang.

He remembered the final Chakra. He saw himself in space above the planet. He was on a glowing road leading to a larger version of him in the Avatar State. He walked across the road. He felt sad crossing it, knowing he has to give up Katara, his love.

*Flashback*

“Maybe you just can’t make Katara your #1 priority. You probably just have to give her up just that moment to master your power. After you master it, you can go back to your life with a greater power,” said Noku.

*Back to the Present*

Aang was now heeding the Firebender’s advice. He was at the end of the trail and his giant clone clouded him in some kind of magical ball.

 

Katara and Sokka were watching Aang’s arrows glowing. He stood up and opened his eyes to reveal them glowing as well.

“I did it. I mastered the Avatar State,” said Aang, in a voice that mixed with all the past Avatars.

“I knew you could do it!” said Katara.

He looked at himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming or anything.

“This is real, I mastered the Avatar State. Now all I need to do is master all the elements and I’ll be ready to face the Fire Lord,” said the Avatar State Aang.

He relaxed a bit to exit the Avatar State. He went back to normal to see Katara hugging him.

“Good job Aang,” she said.

Aang hugged her back, glad to have both the Avatar State and his true love. When he looked up though, he saw the Guru behind Sokka. Sokka actually just noticed this and fell down, shocked.

“Well done Avatar, you’ve mastered the Avatar State and unlocked its power,” said the Guru, clapping slowly.

Aang and Katara stopped hugging to both face the wise 150-year old man.

“Although your journey to unlock the Chakras were difficult, it was rather easy.”

“How was it easy?!” asked Aang.

“When the 7 Chakras are open, it’s impossible to close them. That’s why I taught you that Chakra last; I didn’t want to upset your life,” explained the Guru.

“Thanks Guru Pathik,” said Aang, bowing to him.

The Guru bowed back and pointed where they flew from.

“Now master the rest of the elements Avatar!”
