Yes! I am back with a chapter for season two of TGWoA! It's mostly a character development chapter on Chi and a bit of Nina since I decided to explore the thoughts and personalities of the shippers more! Hope you like it!

"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power."

Chi shifted her weight from her left foot to her right, as she prepared her body for the next round of blows she was about to release on the still swaying punching bag. Her red tanktop was drenched, and her forehead gleamed with sweat as a result of her hard work. Her ponytail seemed to sway in anticipation for the upcoming shower of punches. As she trained, disgusted with her latest display of fighting skills, she ignored the grievous pain torturing her sprained right hand, and the slight aching in her sprained left ankle. She ignored the pain, because that wasn't important. The only thing that was important was training hard and defeating Kataang. She growled at the thought of the humiliation she suffered after the Zutara ship's pathetic loss. She let out a fierce cry as she released a series of punches and kicks on the punching bag, her anger fueling her strength and her adrenaline numbing the pain in her injured hand.

"You'll never beat us."

She let out another angered growl as she heard the voice of her older brother taunt her in her head. She punched the sack, causing it to swing on its metal chain.

"Stop wasting your time on a fight you can't win."

She heard a new voice belittle her, the voice of her second oldest brother.

"Stop looking down on me!" she yelled to no one as she showered the punching bag with more hits.

"You're weak! You're just a girl!" came another voice.

"Don't underestimate me!" she yelled again. Her echoed screams bouncing off the walls of the room, filled only with training equipment.

"Leave us alone. Fighting you is a waste of time."

"Why won't you see me as an EQUAL!" she yelled, punching the bag with her final word, using all her might and strength, but all with the wrong hand.

"Ahhh!" she screamed, gripping her wrist as an unbereable pain crippled her right hand, and she heard the sickening crack of bones. She swallowed her tears, but couldn't control the screams that escaped her, a clear expression of her agony.

"Captain!" said Nia with concern as she entered the doorway. She immediately ran to her suffering companion and helped her to the ship's infirmary, as Chi shook with the effort of concealing her sobs.

When they reached their destination, the doctor immediately gave Chi her attention, due to most of the bodies in the infirmary being asleep, drained from the battle that had taken place two days ago.

The nurse unwrapped the bandages on Chi's previously sprained arm, and shook her head.

"If you had waited a week or two, the sprain, though somewhat severe, would've healed." she went into her drawer and pulled out splints for all her fingers (except her thumb), and a harder cast.

"But now it's broken." the nurse explained. "It'll take longer to heal, and it may never be the same again." she gently began to cover Chi's severly broken hand with waterproof bandages and finger splints. "Not to mention it's your dominant hand."

Nia shook her head, her braided black her swaying back and forth as tears began to fill her blue eyes. She looked at her friend with concern, overcome with a feeling of protectiveness.

"Why Chi? Why couldn't you have waited?"

"I'm the one with the broken hand Nia. Quit your pathetic bawling." Chi said in reply.

"Don't evade the question." she said not phased by her friends harshness.

"I need to train. I can't sit around doing nothing because I want my boo boo to get better." this caused Nia to again, shake her head.

"A sprained hand can hardly be considered a boo boo, Chi." Nia retorted. Chi glared at the floor and snarled.

"I can't sit around. I need to get stronger." she squinted, seemingly trying to burn a hole in the floor with her eyes. "I won't lose to them again."

Nia stared at her friend sympathetically, knowing that statement didn't just refer to the Kataangers, fully aware of her rivalry with her brothers.

"Chi." Nia started as she glanced at the nurse finishing up wrapping the cast around Chi's crippled hand. "Hurting yourself won't make you stronger. Strength is about fighting at your best, and knowing the right decisions to make, considering how they'll effect you long term." Nia advised, but she only recieved a glare in response to her advice.

"Don't preach to me." Chi said as she snatched the pain killer bottle from the nurse. "Thank you." she stated as a slight act of gratitude as the nurse merely nodded in reply before turning to see if any of the injured Zutarians had woken up.

"Nia." she said, her voice no longer hostile, but commanding, though the fire in her eyes had not died down in the slightest. "Help the nurse gather all the injured and bring them to the main hallway. I need to have a little talk with my crew." Nia gulped but nodded, and helped the nurse wake up the patients and put them in wheelchairs or give them crutches.

As Chi walked through the halls of the ship, her head was pounding, and her vision was slightly blurred do to the mild concussion she had suffered when her head hit the metal wall after Dash had spared her life and thrown her onto the ship.

"Next time, Dash" she mumbled to herself. "you will be at my mercy."

She rushed into the command room, ignoring the slight throbbing in her sprained left ankle, as well as the pain in her head, and the suffering of her right hand. She hadn't realized the extent of her injuries from her fight with Dash. She at least hoped he was experiencing SOME kind of pain or suffering that she had inflicted, though she doubted it, since she had merely gotten in a few hits and kicks to the Kataanger, probably resulting in him 'suffering' from some annoying bruise.

She turned on the loud speaker and yelled into the microphone, grasping the attention of the entire ship.

"Get your lazy butts out of bed and make your way to the main hallway! I have a thing or two to say to you guys! And if you're not there in five minutes, there will be severe consequences!"

She heard the ship come to life as everyone got out of bed, got ready, and made there way to the main hall. Chi stood on a tall platform, clad in her sweat stained red tanktop and black basketball shorts, accesorized with casts and splints. She watched everyone flood into the hallway, suited in armor, but five minutes after the deadline.

Chi glared at her crew disapprovingly, and many began to sweat under the heat of her angered gaze. Behind her stood her two advisors Nia and Mea, as well as the pictures of all the generals, advisors, captain, and memorable Zutarians. Under it hung a banner.

'Zutara Ship, where everyday is a party'

"I asked you to be dressed and ready in five minutes. It took you ELEVEN! More than HALF the time I had asked. Do you think if the Kataang ship surprise attacks us again, that we will even have five minutes to get ready?" she exclaimed with disgust.

"I decorate the ship, I throw you parties, I try to make this a great experience for you!

Chi's face starts to grow hot with anger. "But in return, I get mediocrity. When it really matters, out on that battlefield when it really matters!" she starts to pace. "I get NOTHING!" she says throwing her arms in the air with frustration.

'Zutara Ship, where everyday is a party'

"Party's over guys! Get your heads out of the clouds! This is war, and we're losing, bigtime." she points to the back of the room where the injured are seated.

"Look back there! Those are your teamates! Your fellow Zutarians! And there hurting!" she lowers her arm. "Because YOU weren't good enough to protect them," she returns her attention the injured. "And YOU weren't good enough to protect yourselves!"

"YOU'VE been appointed to be the captain of ship Zutara?" her brother guffawed. "That ship will sink in minutes."

Chi snarled at the memory.

"We're gonna train and train until we have double the skill of the Kataanger and Yukka ships combined!" this caused a cheer to surge through the hall.

"Now, go put on your casual clothes, then be back here in five minutes." Chi ordered. She turned to Nia, help the nurse take the injured back to the infirmary, I want them to rest, and recover as fast as possible." At this, Nia raised an eyebrow.

"What about you?" The ship silently, but quickly, made their ways back to their rooms, afraid of what would happen if they didn't make their captains deadline.

"I have a ship to whip into shape."

"Woo! Partay!" cheered Aaron. Dash had decided to reward his crew for a job well down by throwing a party with the Yukka ship, everyone seemed to be having a great time.

"No!" Chi's screams had been haunting him ever since the battle.

"No! I take it back! Fight me!" her cries had filled his brain all throughout the day, her maniacal pleas clawing at his conscience. He couldn't laugh, he couldn't smile, and he couldn't hear the music, as all he could think about was his regret, and all he could hear were her screams.

"I take it back! You don't win! I win! I always win!" he remembered her screaming psychotically. And it was then that Dash had no doubt that Chi was mentally unstable.

Everyone stood before her after six minutes. This had been there seventh time either armoring up, or dressing down.

"Ok, better." Chi complimented. "You are all required to train for three hours before you can get lunch, anyone found not training will be thrown overboard," she paused as gasps erupted from her listeners. "After training, you can eat lunch, take an hour break, then we'll do some more drills, train for two more hours, eat dinner, and then you can return to your chambers."

Everyone obeyed as Chi spoke to herself.

"This ship will not sink."

Nia looked at her friend from behind. She new her friend had mental problems due to her childhood. She was a very nice and fun person, but she was a perfectionist, and if everything didn't go completely according to plan, she would have a reaction that would put her on the brink of insanity. She would do no matter what it takes to get things back how she wants them, even if it hurt herself or others. That's why Nina was here. To control her friend when things got out of hand.

"Chi. It's time to talk again."

Alright guys, I know, short chapter, but I realized that even though I was originally just trying to personify each ship, I decided I wanted to focus on the actual shippers by giving them personalities and exploring them.I hope you like how they turn out! This chapter was a lot of fun to write. I'm so excited for the chapters that other ships get involved in and I have some great surprises in store for you guys! Please review and tell me what you think!
