Alright I was having the urge to write something depessing and since it didn't fall under the line of my current fics i started a new one. Ya ya bad me. xD

Anyways this is one of those we didn't win the war things but its not cliche. This is the prologue so hopefully you like it and keep reading.

Katara grabbed Zuko, as gently as she possibly could while still running for her life, and made her way to Appa. That was it. She won. Katara took off into the air watching Azula's crazed smile fade away. She looked more carefully at Zuko. Why was he so stupid? Why was he willing to do that for her?

This was Aang all over again. Jet all over again. Ba Sing Se, again. Katara knew that without the water from the spirit oasis the chances of Zuko living were none but she still tried.

Aang had done better; well that's what Katara convinced herself. Aang was alive and well and Ozai was dead. And Sokka and Toph and Suki were fine too. And They would go back and avenge Zuko, and Iroh would take the throne....and everything would be alright.

But everything was not alright! Zuko was dying in her arms. That's not alright.

Soon enough they landed where the others were. Katara's tear streamed face was matched with those of her friends. Then she realized Aang was in the center, and he was dead. There was no visible wound, but he was dead.

Sokka looked at Katara solemnly, knowing of Aang's love for her. He hadn't noticed Zuko missing yet. Sokka was leaning on Suki, holding one leg up, probably broken. Another thing nobody noticed.

Toph was looking down; crying? No, Toph was not crying. Well she was but they didn't need to know that. She wasn't crying though for the same reasons as the others specifically, she wasn't crying for love or friendship, because at least they knew Aang's body lay there, seemingly unharmed. Toph was crying because as hard as she tried she could only clearly see Katara and Suki. She knew Sokka was there, standing next to her to. But she felt nothing. Aang....nothing. No pulse, no heartbeat, nothing. As far as Toph was concerned he disappeared. Sure his weight was still in front of her but what did that really mean.

Katara leaned down and put her hands over Aang's chest. "What happened to him?' she asked, her voice broken and soft.

"We don't know. We found him like this. Ozai's gone. He disappeared. But now he's the ruler of the world and Azula's the- wait, you killed Azula right?" Sokka asked, reality suddenly hitting him.

"No" Katara whispered. "I didn't"

And he knew. They all knew. Katara reached towards her neck. She still wore the vial of spirit water though it was empty. She pulled it out in desperation. Surprisingly there was enough residue for her to coat he hand. Katara closed her eyes and leaned in to Aang.

She pulled back. "I can't do it"

Sokka looked at her strangely. "What do you mean can't?"

"No, I-I know I have to heal Aang, but Zuko-it's my fault he's dying." Katara felt tears forming in here eyes.

"It's not you fault Katara?" Suki said putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Yes it is!" Katara screamed. She lowered her voice to barely above a whisper. "Azula shot lightning at me and he jumped in front of it. I-I couldn't fight her. I tried. I was able to get a blow, but the water was blocked off and-and I panicked, so I ran" Katara was crying now, reliving every terrible moment in her mind.

Katara looked down at Aang. She couldn't look at Zuko-If she did she knew she'd never be able to heal Aang. But still she couldn't. Whichever one died, that guilt would be on her shoulder.

"Sokka I can't" Katara said. "I have to. I want to, but I can't"

"Can you tell what's wrong with him?" Suki asked

"Something internal." Katara said. "He was in the avatar state?"

"I think so" Sokka said

"No. So this is my fault too" Katara looked down again. She sighed and kneeled in front of Aang. In the pattern of chi points she moved the spirit water on Aang's body, a whitish-blue glow, similar to that of Azula's fire covered his body. Then it disappeared, and Aang coughed.

Toph looked up, relieved. Aang was back. And she would never loose him again.

Katara gently smiled at Aang as he looked up. "Thank you Katara"

Katara looked down, crying again. She wasn't sure if they were happy or sad tears. She had a right to both, didn't she?

"Katara what's wrong?" Aang didn't know why he was asking. Something happened to him. He was gone, again. But everyone else was here and fine so they must have- Zuko?

Aang sat up, a little to quick causing him to wince but his fears were confirmed. "We lost, didn't we?" he asked

Sokka nodded. "Ozai's the Phoenix King and Azula the Fire Lord" usually Sokka wasn't one to break the news like that but since Toph hadn't said a word and Zuko was unconscious someone had to.

Aang looked off the pillar. The Earth Kingdom wasn't destroyed. A little burned up but still livable. "We stopped the airship fleet" Sokka confirmed.

Katara went over to Appa to check on Zuko. He was still alive, probably conscious too. Katara sighed and opened her water flask. She brought the water over the wound.

Zuko's expression tightened as she put her hand down but then he relaxed. Katara worked for a moment, hoping to get some kind of result.

Nothing happened besides Zuko's giving in to unconsciousness. His fist unclenched and Katara saw the marks where his nails dug into his skin. She probably shouldn't have contemplated so long. Then for sure they would both be fine.

"I'm sorry" she whispered.

Katara sighed for what was the fifth time in the past hour or so. Zuko's heartbeat had steadied a bit but otherwise he was in the same condition.

Katara climbed back down and nodded her head while frowning, hoping that made her point. Seemingly it did and they boarded Appa.

Toph remained quiet as she went to the front of the saddle. Suki and Sokka sat in the middle. Sokka somewhat trying to be brave at the moment. Katara was still trying to heal Zuko too. There were allot of things Katara had been known for. One was being stubborn. And the other was helping people who needed her. Zuko would live. She would make sure of it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Aang taking off. She looked down. It was Ba Sing Se all over again.

At first i was going to have Aang die and Zuko be fatally wounded, then i realized i'd have to write about mainly the girls, and Sokka. Also everyone kills off Aang in this type of fic and nobady kills off Zuko. (opps i didn't say that) I actually amn't sure about killing him yet.

Be warned; i don't really have a plaqn for this. Well i sort of do but its likely to chang so no sure updats, no sure deaths, no sure ending. (in other words dont expect a happy ending they win thing. this will probably involve either them dying and the war continues or the win but sacrifices are made. (that would mean if i havent killed zuko yet he'll probably die)

Well by tommotorw moring i'll hate all those ideas. I really dont know why i write when i'm so tired (i did this last night too)

Anyways please read and reply.
