Finally. After all these years… the Avatar." Prince Zuko muttered to himself as he came face to face with a giant iceberg.

Inside was the silhouette of a young girl, who seemed to have been frozen unwillingly. Not much could be determined from her silhouette, other than the fact that she had long hair and wore strange clothing.

The banished prince stared at the large iceberg, which was shaped like some giant ice dagger. A smirk would have appeared on his face, but he was more focused on getting his reward for searching all those years. Of course, he had no idea that the person he was staring at was not the avatar. Or was she?

"…" growled Zuko

A tick mark appeared on Zuko's temple as he listened to the narrator insult him, speaking about how he may or may not have had the right person. More tick marks appeared as a shadow crossed Zuko's eyes, his body twitching as he tried to hold in the rage that was indirectly shot towards the narrator. He knew that his rage was coming from his inability to communicate well with others and his all-round social awkwardness, along with the fact that he was banished from-

"ENOUGH!" shouted Zuko as he attempted to burn the Narrator's voice, shooting fire at every angle.

Iroh, Zuko's uncle, came out of the bunker beneath their ship, and yawned as he watched his nephew spew streams of fire everywhere.

"Zuko, isn't it a bit too early for all this?" asked Iroh as he watched Zuko move. "You haven't even gone through your daily speech about how it is your duty to capture the avatar yet, or how it is necessary that only you are able to capture the avatar."

Zuko growled in frustration as he looked to Iroh.

"It's not that! The stupid Narrator keeps talking inside my head!" shouted Zuko as he looked around, inwardly crying about how he couldn't attack someone who was omniscient in the realm of this story.

He growled and shot another stream of fire directly to the left, which made Iroh widen his eyes.

"Zuko. I think you need to take your medication again." said Iroh as Zuko growled.

"Don't mention that! The Narrator might hear!" shouted Zuko as his eye twitched before he sent a larger wave of fire to the left. "Get the hell out of my head!" Zuko continued to blast fire to the left, which made Iroh blink.

"Zuko…" started Iroh as Zuko finally looked over at his uncle.

"What?! What is so important Uncle?!" shouted Zuko.

Iroh simply pointed to the left. Zuko looked over before his eyes widened as well. He had just made things a lot harder on himself.

Before them stood a melted iceberg, or at least half melted. Steam rose up to cover a large area around the iceberg before they saw the silhouette stand up, now mobile, but covered by the steam.

"Soldiers! Get out here!" Shouted Zuko as a battalion of fire nation soldiers all raced out, looking forward to spot what Zuko had unleashed.

The steam finally cleared to reveal the avatar. Or not. Or maybe so? Zuko might never know, which made more tick marks appear on his head as he tried to ignore the narrator, but of course, that didn't work, and he let out a breath of fire in rage. Of course, all he managed to do was heat up the air, making him growl again.

"Zuko. Now is not the time to be throwing a temper tantrum." said Iroh as he watched the silhouette slowly step out of the steam. "I think our Guest wants to ta-"

"Capture her!" shouted Zuko as the soldiers jumped from the boat, landing on the snow below as they cornered the girl, who was now out in the open.

'I'm back to put it in motion'

The camera changes angles, showing the right hand of the girl, which was snow white.

'I'm back to tell you no lies'

The camera changed again, this time behind the girl, showing that she wore a black jacket, with the collar ripped off.

'Sit back and sip on this notion'

The camera changes angles again, this time showing the black pants that she wore, with an orange trim going down the sides, which also set a ring around the bottom of her pants. She had on black sandals that did little to hide her feet from the snow, yet she didn't seem bothered.

'I'm back to put it in drive'

The camera changed to the front to show that beneath the black jacket was a purple top, sleeveless, with fishnet sleeves visible. Along with this was her long black hair, with a single streak of yellow to the side. Her eyes were vermillion, and she seemed to have a gaze that seemed bored at first. She had no idea where she was, but at the same time, she didn't seem to really care about the subject.

Zuko stared at the new girl a brow raised as he looked at her.

"This is the avatar?" said Zuko, he swung his arm out. "Men! Attack!"

'I'm back to cause a commotion'

The silent girl watched as Zuko's goons all ran to their imminent demise, which would happen in about 3 seconds.

'I'm back to demoralize'

The first guard ran at the female with a knife of fire in his hands. Without much effort, the girl grabbed the man's wrist and twisted until it snapped, getting a howl of pain as a result.

'Sit back and feel the emotion'

She chopped the soldier in the chest before pushing him into the icy waters nearby. Only 6 remained now.

'I'm back to keep it alive'

The soldiers all charged at the girl at once, while she stepped back to get ready for the assault. As they all rushed forward, she easily dodged and deflected everything that was thrown at her, including blasts of fire. She struck all of the soldiers in the back of their necks, except for the last one, which she struck in the throat. The result was the soldier holding his throat, his tongue out, his cheeks puffed, and dying elephant noises escaping his mouth as he fell to the snow below.

"No doubt now, this is the avatar" said Zuko with a grin, he stepped foward

"It would be a bad idea to fight, Prince Zuko." warned Iroh, trying to tell his nephew, only to see Zuko jump down anyway.

Iroh sighed and shook his head.

'When the sound goes boom!'

Zuko roared as he threw a fist forward, shooting a blast of fire towards the unnamed girl, who simply dodged to the side. The young girl moved to the side with ease, then again, and again.

'What'cha gonna do?!'

As the girl kept dodging, Zuko's fury grew and grew. Eventually, he swung his leg in an ark, and sent a large wave of fire towards her. However, she suddenly jumped into the air, avoiding the ark. She rushed down at Zuko, weaving strange hand signs before crashing into the snow next to him, which made a lot of shards of ice, shoot up towards Zuko.

'Make a Make a move!'

Zuko bent back to barely avoid the ice, though the girl rushed forward and decked him in the stomach.

'Motherfucker!'

Zuko coughed before he jumped back up and attacked, sending another ball of fire towards the girl. The girl weaved a few more hand signs before she took a deep breath, and sent her own wave of fire forward, which blew away Zuko's own fireball.

'When the sound goes boom!'

Zuko jumped to the side to avoid being fried instantly, then pulled his hands back before thrusting them both forward. A large wave of fire left from his hands as the unnamed enemy did the same thing, blocking his fiery strike with her own. The two waves of fire clashed for a time before Zuko finally yelled in anger and moved forward. Seeing this, the girl moved forward as well, before she felt Zuko's fire tower above her. Seconds later, the fire crashed into the ground where the girl was, ending the duel, making Zuko take a few breaths.

'What'cha gonna do?!'

Zuko looked back to Iroh as more steam covered the area. He let out a smirk between his breaths and held his arms out.

"Uncle!" shouted Zuko with a laugh. "I did it! The Avatar is down!"

'Make a Make a move!'

Iroh blinked at Zuko, then looked ahead of himself.

"Uh…nephew…" said Iroh, trying to grab Zuko's attention, but Zuko was too infatuated with himself to listen.

"The Avatar is finally in my hands! I can finally go home! I have finally restored my honor!" cheered Zuko

'Motherfucker!'

"Prince Zuko…" Iroh continued to try and call Zuko, yet he didn't seem to listen.

"It's finally over! My quest is done! I'm finished! I no longer have to struggle! My honor is back!" said Zuko.

Of course, that was about to change.

'When the sound goes boom!'

Faster than a millisecond later, the girl shot up from the steam, and kicked Zuko directly where the sun don't shine. So hard in fact, that it knocked him off of his feet. As time seemed to slow down, the background a maze of shining steam, Zuko's face was nothing more than pure, unrivaled agony as tears streamed from his face. And as he squealed, the words "Ave Maria" were heard in the back. The girl then reeled back her fist and socked Zuko in the jaw, sending him back before Iroh caught him.

"awww… Poor boy. He's all tuckered out." said Iroh as he held a limp Zuko in his arms.

He looked forward to see a large light suddenly shot into the air. The girl turned around as well, staring at the light, her interest peaked a bit. As she turned, Iroh got a good look at the back of her jacket. There were strange markings on the back of it. Without a word, the girl left to walk towards the light, but Iroh's curiosity had already been peaked.

"Wait!" caled out Iroh, getting the girl to stop, barely turning so that one eye was visible. "What is your name, young one? I believe my Nephew will be asking the same question when he wakes up. But I'd rather enjoy my roast duck before I have to go on another chase through the South pole."

As Iroh finished explaining his reasoning for asking, the girl kept her single-eyed stare at him. However, she then softly smiled.

"…It's on the back of my jacket." She said softly before turning again. Iroh tried to read the jacket once more, but again, it was in a language he didn't quite understand. As if it was foreign… or even lost to the sands of time

"Could you tell me the language that is along your back? I'm afraid these old bones are too fragile for harsh reading." joked Iroh with a laugh.

The girl couldn't help but give off a single chuckle before she turned around again.

"…Ai. Uzumaki Ai." She stated before she walked off again. "Make sure he doesn't come after me again. I might not be as friendly the next time."

Iroh groaned and shook his head.

"I wish I could promise that I could. But as you have seen…" Iroh smiled and looked down at Zuko before he walked back into the ship. "My Nephew is a stubborn boy."

Ai continued to walk off, she could tell that the landscape of the world has changed since she's been away so she walked off not knowing where she'd end up or how long it would be until she met friendly more so than Zuko.

"I wonder how much has changed?" she asked herself.

Southern Water tribe, Before Ai's Freedom

Katara was looking off in a certain direction, she and her brother Sokka were about to go fishing for food, but she had the strangest feeling that something amazing was about to happen to the world. She then starts to waterbend some of the water nearby, she was a bit happy that she was successful because she wasn't very good and there was no one to teach her.

"I-I've got it!" she said excited

"Katara!" yelled Sokka. Katara then accidentally drops the water splashing it on the ice at the sound of her brother.

"Sokka you made me mess up!" she yelled back.

"Will you stop practicing that voodoo water witchcraft, come help me fish!" yelled Sokka. "Its weird"

"Oh I'm weird? I'm weird? I'm not the one who makes muscles at myself every time I see my reflection in the water!" yelled Katara

Katara smiles smugly at her brother, as the as camera cuts to him, he is flexing at his reflection in the water and grinning confidently. His happy look vanishes upon hearing his sister's remark and he turns around slowly, meaning to face her... only to see her face change from a smirk to fear, she pointed. Before he can say anything, however, the canoe suddenly shudders. As they both try to keep from falling over, Sokka whirls around toward his end of the canoe, a frantic look on his face.

"AH Crapbaskets" mutter both siblings

Sokka paddles the boat in an attempt to stay clear of any floating chunks of ice as the rapids took them for a ride. He manages to gain just enough speed to keep the boat from being crushed by two icebergs which slam together behind the boat. Katara was holding on to her brother shoulder for dear life, her eyes darted around as they zipped past icebergs.

"Go left, go left" cried Katara

The ice floes closer together in front of the boat, narrowing their path, getting both to scream as it smashed together above them. The boat manages to stay clear of some of the icebergs, but it veers to the right with the current and becomes pinned by three large chunks of ice. As the canoe is completely crushed by the ice, Katara and Sokka throw themselves from the canoe and onto one of the floes. Katara nearly slides off the other side into the water, but comes to a halt at the floe's very edge. As she raises her head, looking around, the shot zooms out to reveal the siblings are floating on one floe among dozens. Katara let out a breath of relief... she was ok, a little shaken but other wise ok.

Sokka on the other hand, wasn't as relieved. While he too wasn't hurt... he could have been if he slid just a few inches closer. In front of him was a nasty looking ice spike. Skewers on the spike was a large Otter Penguin, and from the looks of it... a Tiger Seal had been snacking on it. Sokka reached his hands up and closed the creatures eyes.

"He cant hurt you anymore" said Sokka, inching away before he stood.

He looked over at his sister, still catching her breath as she lend against a massive tower of ice.

"Ok, New rule... no magic water when fishing with me" said Sokka, pointing a his sister

Katara's eyes popped, she looked over with astonish.

"You... You think this is my fault" said Katara

"Sure wasnt my fault" said Sokka, grumbling "I should have left you home... only a girl could mess something as easy as fishing up"

Katara's face twisted into rage, she balled her fist and let out a low growl.

"You are the most sexist" ranted Katara, brings her hands up to her head and swings them back down and behind her in her rage; the movement creates a small wave of water behind her. "immature" She raised her hands back to her head. "Nut brained" Swings her arms back down again, creating a slightly larger wave; she raises her hands back to her head during a brief loss for words. "I'm embarrassed to be related to you!"

She swings both her hands back forcefully once again and her unconscious waterbending hurls a wave directly into the towering iceberg behind her; with a loud, splitting crack, a hooklike fissure arcs up its surface and out its side, leaving a spray of ice where it ends. Sokka, glances briefly in his sister's direction and sees the iceberg, after a short moment, he does a double-take, his expression morphing into one of terror.

"K-K-Katara" stuttered Sokka

"NO, BE QUIET... I'M TALKING HERE" yelled Katara "Ever since mom died, I've been doing all the work around camp while you've been off playing soldier... with 7 year olds. 7 year olds Sokka... thats too young to have them doing stuff like that"

"Ok, I get it" said Sokka

"No, i dont think you do... I wash ALL of the cloths, ALL of them.. you have any idea how hard it is to get your stank out of your socks." said Katara

"Yes, yes... Ok i get it." said Sokka "Now please, calm down"

Katara swung her arms again, sending more cracks into the ice behind her.

"No, i'm done... i'm not playing house mother to you or your little squad again. You want clean underwear, you clean it yourself here" said Katara

Her last movement is her most agitated and it creates a huge wave which, when it impacts the iceberg, sends a number of fissures to snake their way up the iceberg. One of them reaches the top of the iceberg, splitting it completely in half. Petrified, Sokka gasps for air, and it is only now that Katara turns to look behind her. She gasps in fear and backs away, up to her brother. The two halves begin to fall away from each other and the siblings can be seen through the widening space between them. The siblings back away as the two halves collapse into the water. A wave larger than any Katara cast at it radiates outward toward them and they are thrown to the ice as it pushes their floe backward.

As the waves subside, the camra cuts to a head-on close-up of the siblings, their heads slightly over the edge of the ice. Sokka, holding a protective arm over Katara, turns his head toward her.

"And that is why i say, no more magic water around me" said Sokka, pointing "Cuz that... that just happened"

"I... I did that?" asked Katara amazed

"Oh no... no no" said Sokka "That was some other guy with water magic... his name was Duh, first name No"

Katara looked over at Sokka with a glare, she looked over at the destruction she caused. Several small bubbles appear on the surface of the water directly in front of them and a small spot of water begins to glow with a bright bluish hue. The two siblings scramble back in renewed terror from the edge, just as a large, roughly spherical iceberg breaks the surface of the water.

An iceberg rises above the surface, revealing its massive form to be the source of the glow. The crashing waves generated by the iceberg's rising push the floe backward as the berg itself rocks to one side, before coming to rest with its rounded dome exposed above the water. Mesmerized by the iceberg, Katara strays closer and stares at the iceberg, Sokka halfheartedly stretches out his hand, as if to hold her back.

Katara narrowed her eyes, looking at the ice carefully. She narrowed her eyes as she saw a figure in it... a human within below a larger, indistinguishable mass. The human figure, perched in lotus, has glowing arrows on its head and hands. Suddenly, the boy opens his eyes, the same brilliant light emanating from them, eliciting shocked gasps from both of the siblings.

"T-There's someone in there" yelled Katara

Before Sokka can grab it, Katara grabs Sokka's club out of its sheath on his back and pulls her hood over her head, heading in the direction of the strange boy sealed in the iceberg. Sokka again reaches out his hand in an attempt to hold Katara back, though she is already running across the ice.

"Katara wait" yelled Sokka

Katara hops across the short distance between her floe and the iceberg on five tiny chinks of ice. Sokka, close behind her, does the same. Reaching the iceberg first, Katara repeatedly strikes the iceberg with Sokka's club. On her fifth strike, the club breaks through the surface and a great gust of wind, which escapes from within the iceberg, throws her and her brother back from the side of the dome.

Fissures quickly snake their way over the whole iceberg and, in a massive outward explosion, the entire orb of ice destroys itself. A beam of light bursts from the core of the iceberg and rockets into the sky. The camera shows the iceberg from the shallow sea bottom as it emits ripples of light. The scene switches to a group of tiger seals, who erect themselves to growl at the distant beam of light.

Sokka had protectively clutched Katara, but he now releases her as he looks around. Light still encircles the remains of the former mountain of ice, now reduced to a hollowed-out crater. Sokka looks at his sister and they both get to their feet, Katara holding onto her brother. He points his spear at the crater, ready to defend them, though lowers it in shock as a figure emerges slowly from the depression in the iceberg

"Stop" said Sokka

Now standing atop the crater, the figure slowly erects himself and looks down at them, and the two siblings stare back in wonder and fear.

The circles of light finally dissipate as the boy stops glowing. The figure is revealed to be nothing more than a young boy, who gives a moan of exhaustion and suddenly faints. Katara gasps and runs forward to catch him before he hits the ground and Sokka begins to poke at the boy's head with the blunt end of his spear. Katara swated the weapon away, glaring at her brother.

"Sokka stop it" said Katara

Katara places the boy gently against the base of the crater. Close-up of the boy as he slowly opens his gray eyes. He gasps in awe as he beholds the Southern Water Tribe girl, who stares at him, in relief, with deep blue eyes. Her hair loopies sway in the wind.

"C-Can i ask you something?" said the boy weakly

"Of course" said Katara

"Will you..." started the boy

"Yes" said Katara

"Will you..." repeated the boy

"Yes?" asked Katara

"I swear if he says kiss me... I'll kill him" mutter Sokka

"Will... you... go penguin sledding with me?" said the boy, with the biggest of grins

"Huh?" said Katara
