Chapter 9: We are back bitches!
Percy grinned as he was hugged by the friends he thought long gone. Spent the whole night partying in fact. But today was a day to be serious.
"The body guard of the princess?" Piper asked as she looked at Percy. "Hope you two don't hit it off."
"Yeah, we kinda did. But we have a friendship, more forced than not." Percy said as he traced a burn mark on his robe. "Is this really everybody?"
"Yeah, we got split up soon after arriving here." Jason said as he traced the back of Piper's hand.
Leo, Jason, Piper, and Percy. Four of the Seven. Leo and Calypso had fled to the Earth Kingdom after a fire nation patrol ambushed them, but were captured. Calypso was sent to Boiling Rock, and Leo was sent to the factories. Piper and Jason had been reborn entirely, Jason the son of a wealthy woman, Piper the daughter of wandering traders. They both retained their former powers and memories. Everyone except Percy and Annabeth had met up in the Earth Kingdom, and decided to split up to find a suitable place to build a new camp. A few demigods had been killed by soldiers already, but most had set up camp on a deserted island a few miles off the shores of the earth kingdom, and set up a mist barrier to keep out everything. Charon, Grover, Ms. O'Leary, and everyone else had been found and guided to the new camp. The Romans came too, and had built a new civilization on the island, and the unanimous decision of naming the camp Néos Viaţă or New Life, happened. The gods didn't really visit here, so we are the first true generation of demigods. A fisherman lost at sea had stumbled across the camp after a bad storm, and ever since, would drop off food, clothes and such every month, but a spell would erase his memories of camp after.
"Sounds like you've been busy." Percy said as he reached into his robes. "But we have more pressing matters." Percy pulled out a scroll and opened it, showing the letter from Fire Lord Ozai. "The Fire Lord has tasked me with hunting down the Avatar."
"Really?" Jason said as he walked over. "Who is this Avatar?"
"Some 112 year old kid. Can bend all four elements, Air, Water, Earth, and Fire with ease, but has only been reported as using the first two. Air more than not. He's a pacifist, won't kill his enemies, only knocks them out. He's bald, and has arrow tattoos all across his body. He uses a staff that turns into a glider, and has this thing called an Avatar mode, where he is a master of all four elements. He shows no mercy then." Percy said as he pulled out a drawing of Aang. "His main mode of transport is a flying bison, very big, very dangerous. He travels with these southern water tribe siblings and a cloaked figure who just joined them, but avoided combat. What they can do, we don't know. several attempts to capture him have failed."
"You really have changed man." Leo said as he fidgeted with a wrench. "What happened to Perssasy?"
Percy sighed as he put the scroll away. "I've changed Leo. Watching everyone die in front of me, it broke me. I don't think I will ever be the same."
Everyone looked down in sadness. "I'll send word to the Fire Lord, have him get Calypso out of boiling rock and bring her here. send word to Frank, Hazel, and Nico, and get them here. I'll send word to the army so they can get here faster."
"How are we going to get to them?" Jason asked as he adjusted his glasses. "They are months ahead of us, and move faster than the ships."
"Simple. Leo, still have Festus?"
Leo grinned as his hand burst into flames. "Oh hell yeah."
Everyone matched his grin as they set off to work. The team was coming back together.
Flashback, two years ago
Azula was right royal pissed. Some water tribe savages had attacked her ship, and killed most of her men in their sleep. Only her and Percy were together, back to back as they fought off the attackers.
"Duck!" Azula said as she shot a blast of lightning over Percy's head, killing someone. Percy pulled aside Azula as he blocked a sword with Savior, stabbing the swordsman in the chest. Percy threw a ice dagger back at a team of benders where it exploded, sending shards into their throats. "I was thinking, after this, we get better guards." Azula said as she blasted a group with fire.
"Agreed, every time these people attack our men die. It's just sad." Percy said as he stabbed a man in the chest. "But first, I need to wash away a pest." Percy bent a massive wave over the ship, Azula and himself not affected as all of the men were caught up in the wave.
"Are they dead?" Azula asked. she smirked at Percy started to move the ship back to land faster than any crew could.
"Yes princess, they are."
present time
The Gaang was passing through a random fire-nation controlled town to restock when Sokka entered a store.
"Didn't you hear?" one soldier asked as he took a swig from a glass. "The Guard of princess Azula is assembling a team to hunt down the Avatar."
"No shit? Damn, this man hunt will be over soon then." Another said, making Sokka pale as he ran out of the bar, quickly finding Katara and Aang.
"We need to leave, like right now." Sokka said as he looked around.
"What do you mean? We just landed!" Katara complained.
"I'll explain when we get back to camp, but we need to get out of here. Now."
When they got back to camp, a Sokka explained the situation to the Gaang. "What are your thoughts?" Aang asked a figure in a sea-green cloak.
"If what that man said is true, Sokka is right, we need to leave now. I've heard rumors that the Princess' guard is a fierce fighter, we stand no chance as we are now." A distorted voice said, as they pulled down the hood over a mask hiding their face. "We must ge to the northern water tribe ASAP."
