I've been very busy the last few days. I've wiped out the Earth Kingdom bases on the three islands near the southern and eastern Air Temples. I resealed the magma chamber at Crescant Island. I've also destroyed several other bases. During my rampage, I added massive amounts of chi and life-force to mine.

It's currently music night and I'm waiting for Zhao's stupidity, I have already teleported most of our things to our hideout. Sadly and fortunately I get to goad Zhao into killing me. Sadly, because I forgot to be seen freeing Aang. Fortunately, because I despise the annoying bastard. I've already confirmed that Zhao has received approval to attack the northern tribe, he omitted telling father about his plan. I found that interesting. I always assumed he knew and approved.

Uncle finally enters my room.

"For the last time, I'm not playing the tsungi horn!" I say, with false anger.

"No, it's about our plans. There's a bit of a problem." Uncle says and Zhao enters the room.

"I'm taking your crew." Zhao says, wasting no time.

"I'm not surprised. Your to much of a coward to cross me again. This allows you to hide behind people who are stronger than you, which is almost everyone. You truly have power befitting your station birth, the son of a peasant whore." I say, angering the idiot.

"I've recruited them for a little expedition to the North Pole." Zhao says, angrily. Trying to impress me.

"Aw, are you trying to impress me? Well you failed. Now I see why father keeps giving a useless, idiotic, son of a peasant whore like you special treatment. And despite of you being a weakling and unworthy of your rank. As I suspected
your simply a useful idiot. Enjoy freezing to death. A firebender of your weak power will do so very easily." I say, making Zhao shake in murderous rage.

"Well, your shaking already. Maybe it's already starting, if so your more pathetic than I thought. To be fair, I do have an extremely low opinion of you." Zhao is emitting heat. "Well off you go, moron. Enjoy your slow, horrible death." I say, finally getting the look. A look that promises death. Zhao stops emitting heat, while glaring at me. I smile and wave bye.

"General Iroh, the offer to join my mission still stands ... if you change your mind." Zhao says, before leaving.

"That was a productive visit." Uncle says, in amusement.

"Yes. I need to continue removing our stuff to the hideout." I say, to uncle's understanding.

Time Skip- Two hours.

I've completed the transport of mine and uncle's property and uncle is out on his walk. The crew has left and wished me safe travels, this time Jee personally delivered the message and seemed genuinely saddened.

I hear the pirates bringing up the blasting jelly now.

"Careful with the blasting jelly!" Oh says. I stand and brace myself, preparing to absorb the energy.

Several moments later, I'm rewarded by an explosion. I rapidly absorb the heat from the fire, I take flight and fly through the ship absorbing energy.

I spend several minutes doing this and absorb massive amounts of energy, which I will keep stored until I need it. The
fire is now completely out. I teleport to outside the ship.

I arrive, to see a very disapproving uncle.

"I thought you were going to watch from outside the ship?" Uncle asks. I honestly forgot.

"I forgot, absorbing all that energy was too tempting." I say. Uncle seems to believe me, which is likely due to me having honestly forgotten.

"Don't do it again." Uncle says, to my annoyance. "Should I go ahead and join Zhao now?"

"Yes. We will meet up after the battle."

"Be careful, Zuko." Uncle says, before walking away. I teleport away, it's time for some pirate hunting. Luckily, none of them will be a challenge.

When I'm done killing those annoying idiots, I teleport to the Spirit Oasis and wait till a few hours before daybreak.

And I do, I wait till they arrive and till I hear Katara's arrogant remark.

"No, he's my friend. I'm perfectly capable of protecting him." Katara says, with a smile.

"Well, aren't you a big girl now." I say, sarcastically.

"No ..." She says, with alarm and dismay.

"Yes. Hand him over and I won't have to hurt you." I say, in a bored tone.

Yue runs from the area as Katara assumes a defensive stance. I quickly blast her with a very large fire blast, knocking her back; in spite of her water shield. I fire a small burst of lightning and stun her.

"Amateur." I say, before grabbing Aang and teleporting to the cave shelter I used last time.

When I arrive, I employ precise lavabending to keep it warmer than last time. I tie Aang up and wait.

Some time later Aang's enters the cave, filling it with light. Aang wakes up and attempts to get out of his restraints and finally notices me.

"Welcome back." I say, with a smirk. I put a barrier around me and Aang narrows his eyes.

"It's good to be back." He says, before trying to airbend into a wall. My barrier protects me and Aang propels himself backward out of the cave. I quickly teleport outside, to find Aang wriggling like a worm in an attempt to get away, only to be caught by me.

"Are you really so desperate to freeze to death?" I ask, in amusement.

"Appa!" Aang says, looking away. I briefly look and confirm Team Avatar has arrived.

Appa lands. Katara slides off.

"Team Avatar is here to save the day." I say, sarcastically. I throw Aang aside and he yelps.

"That's a good name." Sokka admits.

"Well it was either that or try remembering your names." I lie, in amusement. Aw, they all look offended. "So, girl. Here for another humiliation?" I say, looking at Katara.

"I won't be the one humiliated." Katara says, confidently. I give her an amused look, as she assumes a stance. I discreetly enhance my speed and strength with my chi and deploy a full body barrier weak against earthbending. I launch a semi-powerful blast at her, which was so fast she couldn't even begin to counter. I quickly stun her.

"Arrogant amateurs. They never do learn." I say, in boredom. "Who's next?" I say, and Aang begins to speak. "Not you, baldy." I say, to Aang's annoyance and anger.

"I'll fight you." Sokka says, drawing his club. I enhance my durability with my chi as well.

"And you'll lose. But, by all means, attack. Preferably before the Avatar freezes to death." I say, motivating Sokka into attacking. He charges me and I remain calm. He moves to strike me in the head and I let him.

I calmly look Sokka in the eyes as he still holds his club against my unprotected head. I smirk, unnerving him. I punch him in the gut, knocking him back.

He lies on the ground trying to catch his breath. Oh well, I suppose it's time.

"Uhhh!" I fake grown, holding a different part of my head. "The moon spirit is in danger..." I say, in false pain. I succeed in alarming Team Avatar. "I'm setting you free, Avatar. We'll continue this another time." I say, walking to him. I quickly untie him and pocket the rope. "I'll see you at the oasis." I say, before teleporting away.

I arrive near the oasis and wait.

Minutes later, I watch Zhao pull Tui from the water and place it in a sack. I watch the moon go red and wonder where Aang is.

"I am ... a legend, now!" Zhao says, grasping the bag with Tui in it. "The Fire Nation will, for generations, tell stories about the great Zhao, who darkened the moon. They will call me, Zhao the Conqueror, Zhao the Moon Slayer, Zhao the Invincible!" Momo jumps on top of Zhao's head. "Ugh ... Get it off! Get it off!"

Team Avatar arrives moments later. Zhao and his soldiers prepare for a fight. I quickly stun Zhao's soldiers and watch them fall onto the ground.

"Don't bother." Zhao says, lifting the sack up threatening to kill Tui.

"Zhao, don't!"

"It's my destiny, to destroy the moon and the Water Tribe." Zhao says, ignorantly.

"Destroying the moon won't hurt just the Water Tribe. It will hurt everyone, including you. Without the moon, everything would fall out of balance. You have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world." Aang says, trying to make the idiot understand.

"He is right Zhao." Uncle says, revealing himself.

"And your ignoring the military consequences." I say, drawing attention to me. "If you attack a spirit, you turn a war between humanity into a war between humanity and spirit. If you attack them, we lose this battle and an entire fleet
and all the soldiers in it. I have foreseen it." I say, to everyone's horror. Why am I trying to save him?

"Prince Zuko and the Dragon of the West. Somehow I'm not surprised by the treachery of you both. Your trying to save the enemy." Oh no! I really hate it when the timeline refuses my manipulation. I guess things really are predestined. "I had hoped those pirates would kill you, Prince Zuko." Zhao says, to everyone's shock.

Uncle takes off his hood. "I'm no traitor, Zhao, the Fire Nation needs the moon, too; we all depend on the balance. Whatever you do to that spirit I'll unleash on you ten-fold. Let it go, now!" Uncle says, truly angry.

Zhao releases the koi fish into the oasis. Zhao hesitates before striking the koi fish with a fire slice out of anger.

I look from the oasis to the sky and see the moon fade out and watch the world go gray.

I attack. First blasting Zhao into the rock near the oasis. Then pin the weakling there. I quickly break his arms and legs and block his chi using Hunduns technique. I turn to the oasis and see La circling the now dead Tui. Uncle picks up the dead koi fish.

"There's no hope now, it's over." Yue says, sadly.

"No, it's not over." Aang says, entering the Avatar State.

"Well, there goes the fleet." I say, with a tone of dread.

I watch, as Aang enters the water. Aang stands in a meditative stance as La circles him. I watch as La's eyes light up and Aang as he descends into the water. Blue lightning-like energy expands from the oasis island into the water,
the oasis begins to light up in the same blue color. The energy moves to the edge of the oasis, rising up to form a giant amphibious-like creature, facing out toward the sea, with Aang in the center, controlling it. I watch him leave.

"Oh well. I was hoping to conceal my true power for a while longer, but I have to save the fleet." I say, before teleporting away.

I arrive outside the water tribe city. I quickly create clones and have them rescue soldiers from the city and order a retreat.

I see Aang coming and begin tapping into my full power. I've confirmed the extraction of the soldiers, though the commanders refuse to obey my order of retreat. I pull the clones back into myself.

By the time Aang is near me, my aura is a semi-visible white and I'm operating on a comet-enhanced level. I may regret fighting this battle, though I highly doubt I'll lose.

"Retreat! Or be forced to do so, Avatar!" I bellow, with chi-enhanced vocal cords. He attacks. I send a blast of fire, and he shields with a water wall. I quickly blast him back, with gravitybending and Aang struggles to hold the form
together. "The soldiers are out of the city, I'm only trying to save the fleet!" I say, before noticing the moons back in the sky.

"The moons back!" I yell, evading another attack. I quickly knock him back, with another more powerful gravity attack. This causes them to separate. I see Aang looking at me fearfully and I smirk. I lift Aang to safety on the walls and teleport closer to him.

"Next time control those negative emotions and don't go on a rampage." I say, coldly and fly towards the fleet.

I fly between the ships, negating the hold of gravity on the ships. Eventually I have them all up, I fly away, towards Zhao's base. The reason why I love gravitybending? My favorite application is essentially an on and off switch for
gravity. Minimal energy drain all for the ability to appear god-like. If I did this with magnetism or metalbending I'd die from strain and bleed to death from every orifice.

I'm pulling ships hundreds of miles away, under my own power!

This is awesome!

One hour later.

We arrive at Zhao's former base.

I pull them into the port and set the ships down, gently.

I augment my vocal cords, so they can all hear me.

"Next time retreat is ordered, obey! You could have all been slaughtered, had I not defeated the Avatar! But instead of capturing him, I had to rescue all of you!" I bellow, before teleporting away.

I arrive near where the fleet was and cloak myself in a personal gravity field. I fly into the city looking for Team Avatar.

I find them minutes later.

"Excuse me." I say, getting everyones attention. Unfortunately all the benders attack.

When the idiots are done, I try speaking again.

"Has anyone seen my uncle?" I ask, in a bored tone; unaffected by the attack.

"He left on a raft." Pakku informs me.

"Thank you," I say, beginning to levitate. "Any idea, which direction?"

"Towards the Earth Kingdom. That's all I know." Pakku says, somewhat nervously.

I fly away, to begin searching.

I find uncle minutes later. As soon as I land he comes to hug me.

"I missed you too, uncle." I say, in amusement.

"Are you okay?" Uncle asks, in concern.

"I'm great! I beat the Avatar and Ocean Spirit! I used my bending powers to pick up and carry a naval fleet! Damn I'm good!" I say, excitedly. Uncle looks highly amused. "I looked for you, back at the northern tribe and forty benders attacked me." I say, to uncle's concern. "I wasn't even affected. My shield took all the damage." I add, to his relief.

"What next, Zuko?"

"I'll get you safely in the hideout and then check the fallout of my actions. I may even threaten or attack a certain Fire Lord." I say, with a smile. Uncle looks amused by the idea.

"Be careful. You probably shouldn't do that, if you ever want to return to the Fire Nation." Uncle points out.

"Good point. I guess I'll stick with the original timeline. Anyway, let's get you to the hideout." I say and uncle grabs his things. I teleport us to the hideout.

When we arrive in the dining/living room area, I give him some time to take it all in.

"Your bedroom and personal bathroom is down that hallway." I say, pointing at a hallway with red paint. "Mine is down the one with the blue paint. I decided to color it based on the colors of our fire."

"I'll go get settled in." Uncle says, before walking away.

I sit down and begin planning.
