Blue Spirit

Within the Earth Kingdom, several archers fired arrow after arrow. Each arrow hit their target in the center, with the following arrows slicing through the one before it.
"Absolutely not. The Yu-Yan Archers stay here. Your request is denied, Commander Zhao." The man next to Commander Zhao said. 
"Colonel Shinu, please reconsider. Their precision is legendary. The Yu Yan can pin a fly to a tree from a hundred yards away without killing it. You're wasting their talents using them as mere security guards." Zhao said, glancing at his superior with Shasta at his side.
"I can do whatever I want with their talents. They're my archers and what I say goes." Shinu stated.
"They weren't yours to begin with." Shasta pointed out.
"My search for the Celestial Mage and the Avatar is..." Commander Zhao began to speak, before he was cut off. 
"Is nothing more than a vanity project. We're fighting a real war here. I need every man I've got." Shinu said, scorned.
"But..." Commander Zhao tried to speak, but the Colonel wouldn't hear anything else.
"My answer is final! I don't want to hear another word about it." Commander Zhao scowled.
"Let's go. I'm done wasting time here." Shasta said.
Just then a red hawk flew up to the fortress. It landed on Shinu's shoulder as he removed a message from it's back. The hawk flew away as Shinu read the message and stepped back with a horrified expression on his face.
"News from the Fire Lord?" Zhao asked as he took the message and a smirk formed on his face. 
"It appears I've been promoted to Admiral and Shasta is promoted to Commander. My request is now an order." Zhao stated. Colonel Shinu bowed before walking down the stairs.
"So I'm guessing the Yu Yan Archers are ours now." Shasta assumed.
"Correct." Zhao replied.
The two men were unaware that a man dressed in black listened in on their conversation before leaving.
In a different part of the Earth Kingdom dark clouds rolled over an abandoned city built into the side of a mountain. Even from the bottom of the mountain city, a loud cough could be heard. Inside their hiding place somewhere within the city, Sokka and Natsu laid against Appa's side as they tried to fight off a sickness that was taking its toll on their bodies.
"This should help bring your fever down." Katara said and Natsu coughs again.
"You know what I love about Appa the most? His sense of humor." Natsu said.
"Yeah. He's such a comedian." Sokka added.
"That's nice. I'll tell him." Wendy said as Appa grunts and Natsu and Sokka laugh.
"Good one!" Natsu said.
"How are they holding up?" Erza asked.
"Not good. They were in that storm too long." Katara admitted.
"If memory serves, there's a herbalist not far from this city." Ray recalled. 
"So we'll able to find a cure for Natsu and Sokka there?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah." Aang answered.
"But Natsu and Sokka are in no condition to travel. They both need some more rest. I'm sure they'll be better by tomorrow." Katara argued.
"Aang and I can..." Lucy cuts herself off by coughing.
"Oh, no! Lucy, don't tell me you're sick too." Happy said.
"I'm not sick. It's just a little..." Lucy cuts herself off again by coughing again and it's hard coughing.
"Sokka and Natsu said that yesterday, now look at them." Ray said, pointing at the young men.
"Take that, you rock!" Sokka said swinging at something that isn't there.
"I think you need some rest too, Lucy." Carla said.
"But I'm fine. One cough doesn't mean anything." Lucy said.
"He has a point, Lucy. A few more hours, and you'll be talking nonsense like Sokka. You get some rest, Lucy. I'll go find the medicine myself." Aang said as he opens his glider and goes to the edge of the temple but then lightning illuminates the outside. "Uh, maybe it's safer to go on foot." Aang said as he closes his glider.
"That would be wise." Erza said.
"Keep an eye on them and don't let Lucy go anywhere." Aang said.
"We'll be fine here." Katara said.
"Yeah. Please find that cure." Wendy said and Aang nods.
Aang dashes himself in the air and lands far down the hill the temple is sitting on and Aang starts zooming through the decaying town at high speed with his Airbending.
"Lucy, go lay down on Appa." Erza said.
"Come on. I'm not sick." Lucy said and she coughs again.
"Deny all you want. That cough says otherwise." Happy said.
"Come on, Lucy. Just go lay on Appa." Katara said.
"Fine." Lucy said as she does what was told.
"Good girl. Make sure you stay there and don't move until you're better." Gray said.
"Uh, Gray, your clothes." Wendy said.
"Oh, come on!" Gray said as he notices he's in his boxers again and starts searching for his clothes.
Meanwhile Zuko's ship is streaming through water again and Zuko is inside the bridge of the ship looking at a map of the world with Aiko and the lieutenant.
"We haven't been able to pick up the trail of the Avatar and the Celestial Mage since the storm, but if we continue heading northeast..." The lieutenant was cut off by light being blocked by a huge shadow.
Everyone sees another Fire Navy ship passing them to starboard and heading the opposite direction and Zuko looks at it with disdain.
"What do they want?" Zuko asked.
"Perhaps they want to play a sporting game of Pai Sho." Iroh said playing Pai Sho with some crewman.
"I doubt that." Aiko said.
Zuko's ship is now resting alongside the larger ship as a captain unrolled a scroll to reveal a wanted poster of Aang and Lucy. 
"The hunt for the Avatar and the Celestial Mage has been given prime importance. All information regarding the Avatar and the Celestial Mage must be reported directly to Admiral Zhao." The captain told Zuko.
"Wait. That dunderhead has been promoted?" Aiko asked.
"Good for him." Iroh said as he continued playing Pai Sho.
"Not really, it's actually bad. Although, if Zhao's promoted, does that mean Shasta's promoted to?" Flannery asked.
"Probably." Aiko said. 
"Anyway, we have nothing to report to Zhao." She added.
"That's right. Now get off my ship and let us pass." Zuko demanded.
"Admiral Zhao is not allowing ships out of this area." The captain said.
"OFF MY SHIP!" Zuko yelled. The captain and the guards leave.
"Excellent! Looks like I win again, but you're still improving. You'll win this time if we play again." Iroh said as the crew reset the board to play again while Zuko stared out the window.
Along a rocky trail on the side of a mountain, two scouts were keeping a lookout for any passerby. One of the scouts looked through a telescope while the other read the wanted poster of Aang.
"Says here the Avatar can create tornadoes and run faster than the wind. Pretty amazing." The first lookout said.
"Ah, that's just a bunch of Fire Lord propaganda. There's no way that's true. Have you even heard what this Celestial Mage can do? It says here that she can use keys to summon beings called Celestial Spirits to fight for her. Now THAT'S something." The scout with the telescope said.
He then turned to look back through his telescope just as a dust cloud ran down the bend. The scout looking through the telescope looked truly surprised as Aang's speed caused the little tree hut to be obliterated. Then he lifted a horn up to his lips and blew hard to signal anyone who could hear him.
Meanwhile Katara, Erza, Gray and Wendy waited for Aang's return while taking care of the sick Lucy, Natsu and Sokka. Wendy placed a wet washcloth on Lucy's head while Natsu and Sokka shiver in their sleeping bags.
"Katara? Water..." Sokka weakly said.
"Need water..." Natsu added weakly.
"Keep your sleeping bags on. We're busy here." Gray remarked.
"Someone will have to go to the river and get water while someone else stays and looks after them." Katara said.
"I can go get the water." Lucy got up, but then started coughing.
"Out of the question." Ray shook his head. "You still need to rest. I'm assigning this to Erza and Gray." 
"We'll be right back." Erza and Gray said at the same time.
"Thanks guys." Katara said as she handed a bag to Erza. The two then left the temple.
"I wonder how Aang's doing?" Wendy asked.
"I'm sure he'll be okay and he'll return any minute." Katara said.
Aang finally ran to the far mountain and looked up the steps to the top. He then began the long climb. Upon reaching the top, Aang stood before a gateway before the institute. He ran to the closest building and inside found himself in a herb garden.
Aang spotted a white cat and a old woman and ran up to talk to her.
"Hello, I'm sorry for barging in like this, but I need some medicine for my friends. They have fevers and have been coughing and..." The woman cut him off.
"Settle down, young man. Your friends are going to be fine." She said.
"I've been up here for over forty years, you know." The woman told Aang a little about her history. "There used to be others, but they all left years ago. Now it's just me and Miyuki." 
"That's nice." Aang said.
"Wounded Earth Kingdom troops still come by now and then. They are such brave boys and thanks to my remedies, they always leave in better shape then how they were when they arrived." The herbalist said.
"Great. Are you almost done?" Aang asked politely.
"Hold on. I just need to add one more ingredient." The old woman said as she moved to many plants. As she continued searching Aang became irritated.
Meanwhile Zuko's ship continued sailing under the cloudy sky. Zuko was on the deck practicing his firebending as Iroh and Flannery step onto the deck.
"Is everything okay? It's been almost an hour and you haven't even given anyone an order today." Flannery asked.
"I don't care what they do." Zuko snapped.
"Don't give up hope yet. You'll still be able to find the Avatar and the Celestial Mage before Zhao." Iroh tried to raise his spirits.
"How, Uncle? With Zhao's resources, it's only a matter of time before he captures the Avatar and the Celestial Mage. My honor, my throne, my country. I'm about to lose them all." Zuko questioned in despair.
"You don't know that." Aiko said.
Back at the herbalist institute, the sun began to set. The old woman walked over to a bush and looked at it.
"Ah, there it is. Plum blossom." The old woman said as she reached for a flower.
"Finally!" Aang said as he stood up from the table he sat at while waiting. 
"Thanks for all your help." Aang said as he grabbed the bowl, but the old woman smacked his hand with the spoon.
"What do you think you're doing?" The herbalist questioned, glaring at Aang.
"Taking the cure to my friends." Aang answered.
"Oh, this isn't a cure. It's Miyuki's dinner. Plum blossom is her favorite." The old woman said as she set the bowl down.
"What about my friends?" Aang asked.
"All they need is some frozen wood frogs. There's plenty of them down in the valley swamp." The old woman told him with a smile on her face.
"What am I supposed to do with frozen frogs?" Aang asked with a confused expression.
"Why suck on them of course." The old woman answered, shocking Aang.
"Suck on them?" Aang questioned.
"The frog's skin excretes a substance that'll cure your friends. Make sure you get plenty. Once the little critters thaw out, they're useless." The old woman explained.
"You're insane, aren't you?" Aang bluntly asked.
"That's right." The herbalist said with pride. She returned to her work, before noticing Aang hadn't left. "Don't just stand there all day. Go!"
She flung a spoon at Aang who now had black gunk on his face.
Aang quickly ran out of the building while wiping his face, but before he could go very far, four arrows sailed through the air and pinned his feet to the ground.
He looked up to see more arrows flying towards him and bent an air sphere around himself that deflected each arrow. The deflected arrows then scattered about across the grounds and were embedded in either the ground or nearby trees. Aang dropped his shield and knelled down to remove a arrow from his shoe.
Ripping the arrow out, he then held it up to the trees.
"Uh, I think you dropped this." Aang said.
The archers in the trees readied more arrows and prepared to fire again. Aang's eyes went wide as his eyebrow twitched.
Aang quickly ran before the archers fired their arrows. The airbender had to stop when four more archers with arrows at the ready revealed themselves. Using his quick reflexes, Aang jumped over the incoming arrows. 
"A frog." Aang said, happy with what he pulled up before a arrow knocked the frozen creature out of his hand. 
Aang stood up and tried to run through the water, grabbing whatever frogs he could and tucking them inside his shirt. 
He tried to hide near an overturned log, when an arrow embedded itself in his shirt. Three more arrows pinned the rest of his arm to the tree. The Airbender became scared and tried to pull his arm free before a net covered his body. 
It was close to night when Aang regained consciousness. He looked up and scowled when he saw where he was. He saw that his arms were chained to two columns with burning torches at the top and his feet chained to the floor.
That was the least of his worries as Zhao entered the room with Shasta not far behind him.
"So this is the great Avatar? Master of all four elements? I don't know how you managed to elude the Fire Nation for a hundred years, but your little game of hide and seek is over." Zhao stopped behind Aang, gloating.
"I've never hidden from you! Let me out and I'll fight both of you right now!" Aang shouted, glaring at Zhao and Shasta.
"Um, no. Tell me, how does it feel to be the only Airbender left? Do you miss your people?" Zhao asked, turning towards Aang.
"Zhao, don't push him." Shasta warned the Admiral.
"Don't worry, he won't be killed like they were." Zhao then said, causing Aang to glare at him. "See, if you die, you'll just be reborn and the Fire Nation will have to begin it's search for the Avatar all over again. So I'll keep you alive, but just barely. Oh, and don't worry about your Celestial Mage friend. Once she's found, she'll join you and BOTH of you will be my prisoners until I deliver you both to the Fire Lord." Zhao then turned to leave and Shasta followed him. Aang took in a huge breath of air and then blew really hard. The blast of wind sent Zhao flying to the door, and with a tumble in the air the man hit his back against the metal upside down with a grunt. He fell to his knees, shook his head and rubbed the sore area on his head.
"Blow all the wind you want. Your situation is futile. There is no escaping this fortress...and NO ONE will be coming to rescue you." Zhao said as he and Shasta exit the room and the door was slammed shut behind them.
Back at the mountain, Katara and Wendy continued watching over the sick Lucy, Natsu and Sokka. 
"What's taking Erza and Gray so long with that water?" Lucy asked.
"They should be back any minute." Katara said.
Erza and Gray then returned to the abandoned temple. Erza was still holding Katara's water bag.
"Sorry we're late." Gray apologized.
"The fault is mine. One of you may hit me for our tardiness." Erza said, shocking Katara.
"You got the water, that's the only thing that matters." Ray remarked.
"You're right." Erza handed the bag to Katara.
"Thank you." Katara said.
"Give the water to those two first so they can shut up about water already." Lucy said.
"What's her deal?" Gray asked.
"She's just cranky because she's sick too." Happy said.
"Now all we have to do is wait for Aang to come back." Wendy said.
"Yeah, but what in the world is taking him so long?" Katara asked.
"Have faith in Aang, Katara. He'll be here any minute." Carla said.
Meanwhile the figure in the blue mask from before is looking at the fortress and then sees what looks like a wagon making its way to the gate leading to the fortress and the masked figure moves to the left and goes over to the underside of the wagon and as the wagon reaches the gate the gate guards look at the wagon and walk around it and when the gate guard checks the undercarriage it's empty.
"All clear." The gate guard said as he looks around the wagon again and there's nothing. "All clear. Go on in." The gate guard said.
The wagon starts to move through the gate and the blue masked figure is inside the wagon and the wagon arrives at the first courtyard and the guards of the courtyard starts unloading boxes from the wagon and while this is happening the masked figure runs from the boxes and ducks into the shadows.
Zhao who is now wearing a ceremonial outfit appears on a balcony with bonfire pots on either side and he looks down at the innermost courtyard full of Fire Nation soldiers standing at attention.
"We are the sons and daughters of Fire! The most superior element! Until today, one thing stood in our path to victory: the Avatar! I am here to tell you that he is now my prisoner! This year, Sozin's comet returns to grant us its power! This is the year the Fire Nation breaks through the walls of Ba Sing Se and burns the city to the ground!" Zhao announces and the Fire soldiers cheer at his speech.
While Zhao is giving his speech the masked figure is stealthily breaking into the fortress.
Aang is still in the dark room and he's still struggling to break free but his efforts are not working and so he stops but then frogs he got from the swamp leap out of his shirt.
"No! Don't leave, frogs! My friends are sick and they need you! Please go back to being frozen!" Aang said as he struggles watching the frogs hop away towards the door.
Four guards are standing outside the chamber Aang is imprisoned in but then they hear frog noises making them confused and they look down to see a few frogs coming from underneath the door and while they are looking at frogs they look up to see a Fire Nation soldier helmet bouncing down the corridor and so one of the guards walks up to the corridor and enters the first junction and after he entered a gout of flame erupts from across the hallway making two more guards go to the junction readying their Firebending stances but they see the first guard hanging from the ceiling and all tied up and the two guards see the masked figure on the ceiling and jumps down to confront the guards and fighting begins but the masked figure knocks both guards out but the last guard sees this and grabs an alarm horn but a knife knocks it out of his hand but the guard shoots a gout of flame at the masked figure but the masked figure gets a bucket of water and gets rid of the flame and then the masked figure sweeps the guard's feet out from under him with the empty bucket.
While Aang is still struggling inside the chamber he hears fighting outside the chamber but the fighting ended and the door starts to open and it's the masked figure who takes out two broadswords and runs at Aang who screams in horror but the masked figure uses the broadswords to cut the shackles freeing Aang's arms and feet and the masked figure walks toward the door.
"Who are you? What's going on? Are you here to rescue me?" Aang asked as the masked figure opens the door and motions Aang to follow. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." Aang said as he follows the masked figure.
After they exit the chamber Aang sees gagged and tied up guards at the door and while Aang is following the masked figure he hears a croak and Aang sees frogs on the floor.
"My frogs! Come back and stop thawing out!" Aang said as he goes for the frogs but the masked figure comes back and pulls Aang by his collar. "Wait! My friends need to suck on those frogs!" Aang said.
Meanwhile at the abandoned temple Katara and Wendy are still taking care of Lucy, Natsu, and Sokka while Erza is looking at a map of where to go to next when the three feel better while Gray is laying on the ground probably sleeping and he's in his boxers again but doesn't care this time.
"How long does it take Aang to get one simple cure?!" Lucy asked completely irritated.
"Please calm down, Lucy. Aang will come back." Wendy assured.
"He'd better." Lucy said.
"Just try to get some rest, okay?" Katara said and then she looks at the outside of the temple. "Aang, please hurry." Katara said.
"Who is this 'Aang' kid you keep talking about, Your Highness?" A delusional Sokka asked making Katara shake her head at her brother's delirium.
Meanwhile Aang and the masked figure are walking down a sewer passage underneath the fortress while guards are walking back and forth over them and the two hop out of a grate and they are now in one of the courtyards and keep going.
Meanwhile Zhao, Shasta, and a scribe are walking down the hallway.
"I want a full transcription of my speech sent to the Fire Lord along with testimonials from all of the ranking officers present and..." Zhao was cut off by moans and they see guards all tied up on the ground and hanging from the ceiling.
"Who could have done that?" Shasta asked and Zhao makes an angry face.
Zhao slams open the chamber door to see if Aang is still imprisoned but he finds the chamber empty but they see a frog who croaks at Zhao making him furious and he leaves and Shasta follows and so does the scribe.
"Sir, shall I hold off sending that speech to the Fire Lord?" The scribe asked.
Aang and the masked figure are scaling a rope on the innermost wall of the fortress but one of the guards spots the two.
"There! On the wall!" The guard called and a soldier on the wall the two are climbing cuts the rope making them fall.
Aang Airbends himself and the masked figure to a soft landing and as they are on the ground the masked figure takes out the broadswords and start running but Zhao is back on the balcony.
"The Avatar has escaped! Close all gates immediately!" Zhao commanded.
While the two are still running Aang runs past the masked figure.
"Stay close to me." Aang said.
They see the gate closing and so they hurry but Fire soldiers block their path but Aang bends a blast of air to blow them out of the way allowing Aang to get to the gate but he turns to see the masked figure fighting off the soldiers and so Aang decides to help out but a soldier attacks Aang with a spear but Aang grabs the spear, Airbends the soldier away, breaks the head of the spear, and launches back into battle to help while the gate closes behind and while the masked figure is surrounded Aang Airbends all the soldiers away from the two and with a might of effort Aang catapults the masked figure to the top of the wall but the masked figure is surrounded but Aang uses the spear as a helicopter blade to ascend and he takes the masked figure with him to the next courtyard.
Aang is struggling to keep them aloft while the masked figure uses the broadswords to knock the spears that are sent up at the two by the guards away and the two barley arrive at the next wall as they crash onto the battlement and Aang's spear is spinning away while guards charge at them and Aang tries to run for his spear but a guard stops him and swings with his sword but the masked figure knocks the guard off the wall while Aang Airbends the other guards off the wall more soldiers bring scaling ladders and climb up to the two but Aang and the masked figure knock them off before they could even reach the two and with two almighty blasts Aang depopulates the two scaling ladders near him and Aang brings over the two scaling ladders and steps onto the one the masked figure emptied and Aang hands on scaling ladder to the masked figure.
"Jump on my back!" Aang said and the masked figure did what Aang said.
Aang stats using the scaling ladders as massive stilts shedding one each time a step is taken but the first ladder still has Fire Nation soldiers on it but falls into dust.
"Give me the next one!" Aang said and the masked figure does what instructed.
A Fire Nation soldier sends a gout of flame from the bottom to up the ladder but Aang and the masked figure jump off their last stilt and they manage to grab onto the edge of the last wall but they couldn't hold on and the two fall to the ground but the masked figure takes out the broadswords while four Firebenders confront the masked figure but Aang gets in front and bends air to get rid of the flames.
"Hold your fire!" Zhao commanded. "The Avatar must be captured ALIVE." Zhao said.
The masked figure then runs behind Aang and crosses broadswords in front of Aang's throat and there was brief silence.
"Zhao, you might want to consider thinking wisely. One careless move, and he could kill the Avatar. Is that what you want?" Shasta asked and Zhao grumbles while thinking this through.
"Open the gate." Zhao said gritting his teeth.
"Admiral, what are you doing?" A soldier asked.
"Shut up, do what he says, and open the gate!" Shasta commanded and the gate opens behind the two.
The masked figure walks backward through the gate while still having the broadswords at Aang's throat.
"How could you let them go?" The soldier asked.
"A situation like this requires...precision." Zhao said smirking.
As the masked figure keeps backing away from the fortress the two are now on the road but Zhao looks on from the top of the main gate and at his side is a Yu Yan Archer.
"Do you have a clear shot?" Zhao asked as a Yu Yan Archer lowers his head as he prepares his shot. "Take out the thief. I'll deliver him to the Fire Lord along with the Avatar." Zhao said and the Yu Yan Archer shoots his arrow.
The arrow flies across the field to its impact point on the figure's mask causing the masked figure to collapse on the ground shocking Aang but he bends a huge cloud of dust around him and the masked figure.
"Quickly! Recover the Avatar!" Zhao commanded as the main gate opens allowing the Fire soldiers to charge at the dust cloud.
While inside the dust cloud Aang removes the figure's mask only to reveal the face of Zuko causing Aang to be shocked and horrified and Aang was about to turn and leave but he looks back at Zuko thinking about what to do which is either leaving him or helping him.
As the dust cloud disappears the Fire soldiers find nothing and they think that Aang has disappeared along with the figure and Zhao who is still watching this from the main gate gets extremely angry.
"So the Avatar has escaped along with the thief. Oh, well." Shasta said and Zhao grumbles at Shasta's comment but then a frog hops up onto the railing, croaks, and then hops off the railing.
It's now morning and Aang is in a forest sitting on a root while Zuko is trying to regain his consciousness but he's still dazed.
"Do you know what's worse about being born over a hundred years ago? I miss all the friends I used to hang out with." Aang said. "Before the war started, I used to always visit my friend, Kuzon. The two of us always get in and out of so much trouble together. He was one of the best friends I've ever had and he was from the Fire Nation just like you." Aang said looking at Zuko who looks back at the Airbender. "If we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?" Aang asked but he got his answer by Zuko unleashing a gout of flame at him but Aang dodges and flies away on a current of air and Zuko watches Aang hopping from tree branch to tree branch disappearing.
Aang returns to the swamp and starts collecting frozen frogs again without any interruptions this time and while this is happening Zuko is riding his cutter ship back to the main ship and Zuko arrives on the main deck walking past Iroh who is playing his sumki horn and Iroh sees Zuko.
"Where have you been, Prince Zuko? You missed music night. Lieutenant Jee and Flannery sang such a stirring love song." Iroh said.
"I'm going to bed. No disturbances." Zuko said as he's still walking away to the inside of the ship and Iroh just plays his sumki horn again.
Meanwhile Aang returns to the abandoned temple with a downcast look and Katara sees him with a smile on her face.
"Aang, you're back." Katara said.
"So did you find the cure?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah." Aang answered as he places frozen frogs in Sokka's mouth, Natsu's mouth, and Lucy's mouth. "Suck on these. They'll make you feel better." Aang said as he walks over to Appa's tail and he lays down on it while sighing.
"So how was your trip, Aang? Did you make any new friends along the way?" Happy asked.
"No. Can't say that I did." Aang said as he rolls over.
"Sheesh, sounded like he had a rough time finding that cure." Gray said.
"Just leave him alone. He's probably tired from whatever he's been through." Erza said.
Meanwhile Zuko is laying down in his chamber lost in thought and he hears someone coming in and it's Aiko.
"Is everything okay? You just stormed into your room. Is there anything you want to talk about?" Aiko asked.
"No." Zuko said and Aiko leaves and Zuko looks at the Fire Nation symbol and the rolls over away from it.
Meanwhile Lucy, Natsu, and Sokka are still sucking in the frozen frogs.
"Just what kind of cure is this?" Lucy asked.
"I dunno, but this is tasty." Sokka said happily but his happy expression turns puzzled the frog starts to thaw and it starts croaking making Sokka spit it out in disgust.
"Hate it now?" Lucy asked and then her frog starts to thaw as well and she realizes what it is and she spits it out. "FROG?!" Lucy asked shocked and disgusted and she and Sokka start spitting and coughing from sucking the frogs while Natsu's frog hasn't thawed out so he wasn't disgusted.
The frogs that Lucy and Sokka sucked on start hopping around the temple while Momo tries to catch the frogs and Katara, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Happy, and Carla look at each other confused.
"Why did Aang bring back frogs?" Happy asked.
"Apparently, he said sucking on them would make those three feel better." Katara said.
"I think they're still gonna be sick from this and I'm surprised Flame-brain hasn't even noticed." Gray muttered.
"Natsu will eventually." Ray stated.
"I hope they don't get too mad at Aang for this." Wendy said.
"We'll see." Carla said.
"I'm going to pretend I never saw this." Erza said while Lucy and Sokka are still disgusted by sucking on the frogs.
