"This is ridiculous! For the murder of Chin the Great, this court finds the Avatar-" he got cut off by a strong gust of wind. I stand up and walk towards him. The wind circles around me too. I close my eyes letting the energy flows through me.

-Bandits Attack-

Y/N P.O.V

I fall forward, not knowing what exactly happened. I don't even know how I got here. I turn to my side to see Aang in Katara's arms.

"So, what just happened?" Aang said. Katara looks at the two of us in worry. "Uhh... you kind of confessed. Sorry..." she said. Tong stands up from the ground and glares at the two of us. "And I find you... guilty! Guilty! Bring out the Wheel of Punishment!" He said.

A guard walk towards us with the wheel. "The accused will now spin the Wheel of Punishment to determine his sentence" he said. Aang turns to look at Katara and Sokka. They give us a look of sadness and sympathy. "We said we'll face justice. So we will" I said.

"You do it... or me?" Aang said, turning to look at me. "You... I have no luck in these kind of things" I said. He hums and turn to the wheel. He place his hand on the wheel and spins it. The villagers starts shouting all kinds of punishment written on the wheel.

"Looks like it's boiled in oil" the guard said, once the wheel stops spinning. I let out a shaky breath, Aang have fear on his face. Katara and Sokka froze in their spot.

Suddenly, an explosion resonate nearby. Everyone lets out a gasp of shock and fear. "We've come to claim this village for the Fire Lord! Now show me your leader so I may... dethrone him!" The bandit said. They're the same bandits that attacks us a few days ago.

"That's him over there!" One of the villagers said, pointing at the mayor who hides behind the wheel. He screams. "Ahhh! Avatars! Do something!!" He said, demandingly at Aang and I.

"Gee, we'd love to help..." I said. "Yeah... but we're supposed to be boiled in oil" Aang added, knowing what I'm trying to do. He quickly spin the wheels to a picture of a sweeping man. "There... community service! Now serve our community and get rid of those rhinos!" He said. Aang and I give each other a curt nod. I jump towards the closest bandits and use earth-bending, throwing him off the rhino.

"Oh man... I hope I can do some earth-bending too" Aang said. "Sorry, brother. I hope I could teach you. But I don't know how. The badgermoles are the ones that taught me..." I said.

After a while of fighting, we finally managed to chase the bandits off. I grin as I watch them runs away. I turn to Aang and hugs him, happily. "I guess this means we've cleared our names" I said. "We sure did, sis... we sure did" he said, nodding his head.

"From now on, we'll celebrate a new Avatar Day in honor of the day these young Avatars saved us from the Rough Rhino Invasion" he said. "What is this?" Sokka said, looking at the bowl.

"That's our new festival food! Un-fried dough. May we eat it and be reminded of how on this day the Avatar was not boiled in oil" he said. We pick up the dough. It's in a shape of female and male. I assume it's Aang and I.

"Happy Avatar Day, everyone" Katara said. I place the dough inside my mouth and swallow it. It tastes so weird. These people are so weird. "This is by far the worst town I've ever been to..." Sokka said. I let out a soft giggle at his comment. But I'm not gonna disagree with him. It indeed is the worst place I've been to as well.
