Avatar The Last Airbender: "Touched By Fire And Earth" (Toph Beifong)

S1 Ep13: Never Mess With A Scorpion

(This will just be my own version of how this episode will go based with the character)

I got a fire going and turned looking to the sick Sokka who was getting worse by the second and Katara was gently soaking his head with a rag. Sokka mumbled a bunch of gibberish about what loved about Appa the most.

Katara comforted Sokka delusional ramblings the best she can while Aang walked over asking "How's Sokka doing?"

"Not so good. Being out in that storm really did a number on him" Katara replied

I stood up from the fires warmth "He just needs time to fight it off" i said

Aang's eyes sparkled "I found this map" he said walking over and placing it down "There's an herbalist institute  on the top of that mountain. We could probably find a cure for Sokka there"

"Aang, he's in no condition to travel. Sokka just needs more rest" Katara declined his idea

Katara's sudden cough sounded of alarm bells to me and Aang and this meant we're gonna have to travel to this mountain Afterall. Moving on the ground Aang decided to race forward having the Airbending speed.

As I prepared to take off, I crouched down and took a deep breath. With each exhale, I channeled my firebending energy, propelling myself higher and higher into the air.

It was my own unique technique, and I couldn't help but smile as I soared through the sky. "Who needs a boring old mode of transportation when you can travel in style like this?" I muttered to myself.

(Minutes later)

As I landed on the mountain, Aang arrived just in time and we quickly sought refuge in a nearby shack. Inside, we met an elderly woman who grated on my nerves so much that I felt like jumping off a cliff.

Despite my annoyance, the woman explained that we needed frozen frogs to heal Katara and Sokka. As we left the shack, a fierce wind storm descended, making it hard to see.

Suddenly, I sensed danger and told Aang to stop. I spotted movement in the trees and warned him to leave immediately. Swatting an arrow out of the way, I drew my swords and prepared to face the archers.

Aang looked concerned and asked what he should do. I told him to go and not look back. With a smirk under my mask, I leaped forward and dodged the arrows, determined to take down the archers alone.

Fighting through the trees battling all i could see i prayed Aang had gotten away safely only to be discovered my diversion failed and he could captured, it was up to me to rescue him from whoever may be holding him captive.

(3rd Person Pov)

Aang's arms and legs were chained leaving him defenceless and he was unable to break out because of his situation, the door to the cell is opened with the former Commander now Admiral Zhao.

"So this is the great Avatar" Zhao said walking in the room with his arms behind his back "Master of all elements" he remarked

Zhao started circling the podium "I don't know how you've managed to elude the fire nation for 100 years" he criticised "But you're little game of hide and seek is over"

"I've never hidden from you" Aang angrily spat "Untie me and i'll fight you right now" he challenged

"Uh, No." Zhao retorted glancing at Aang "Tell me how does it feel to be the only Airbender left?" he nonchalantly taunted knowing this question would hurt Aang "Do you miss your people?"

Aang hurt by this looks down as Zhao continued to berate him by saying "Oh, Don't worry. You won't be killed like they were, see if you die, you'll just be reborn and the fire nation will have to begin its search for the avatar all over again"

"So i'll keep you alive, but just barely" Zhao stopped taunting with a mischievous grin on his face

Aang would not allow his words to go without being punished for them and blew an entire breath of air sending Zhao creaming into the wall getting a good embarrassed expression from the Admiral.

"Blow all the wind you want. Your situation is futile" Zhao said getting up and leaving the room

Scorpion (Pov)

Using my scope to scan the fortress base seeing it is heavily fortified and my plan finally went through, I snuck into a cart hiding inside a crate in order to bypass the guards "Okay, i'm in" i thought.

Getting out of the cart i dashed forward moving throughout the base i found out who was the base's owner is and it is Zhao, He was promoted to Admiral and the memory of how he took place in murdering my foster family still stung.

I set up a rope exit and escaped into a drainage system entering into a series of hallways, i breathed in and out hustling through them, I took down a few guards and used my firebending to take down a few of them.

I found Aang's cell slanting open a metal plate to see him chained up, i opened it using the guards keys entering in "Scorpion!" he shouted happy to see me.

"Thought i'd leave you?" i jokingly said running up and cutting him free of his binds "Let's get out of here" i urged Aang and we left the room.

Backtracking out through the way i came in Aang informed how he lost the frogs and i told him "It's fine, we'll pick up more after we've escaped"

Getting to my rope exit Aang went first and halfway up, the chiming of the alarm goes off meaning they know we're here.

"there on the wall" A guard shouted

As we made our way through the fire nation soldiers, a guard suddenly cut the line, forcing us to fight for our lives. Aang and I fought back with all our might, using makeshift ladders to transcend the towering wall.

But as I ran, something hit me hard in the head, causing me to lose my balance and collapse to the ground. I felt weak and disoriented, and Aang's urgent cries for me to get up only added to my confusion.

Desperate to protect Aang from being captured, I grabbed his collar and pushed him forward, demanding that he leave me behind. But before I could sacrifice myself, everything went blurry and I fell to the ground in excruciating pain.

Just then, a gust of air kicked up a cloud of dust, and Aang swooped in to save me. He lifted me up and airbended us out of danger in a flash, even as I succumbed to the agony and passed out in his arms.

I awoke laying makeshift bed of leafs with Aang to my right sitting knelt down, he immediately smiled and helped me up as we made out way back to the temple. I popped a frozen frog into Katara's mouth and she started sucking on it.

Aang did the same thing with Sokka, Aang nearly fell to the ground from exhaustion except i caught him in time and helped set him down on Appa's comfy tail.

"Sleep tight" i said as Aang drifted off to sleep with a smile

All of a sudden Katara and Sokka spat up the frogs which had unfroze and they both were coughing and wheezing, i couldn't help but fall to the floor sobbing in uncontrollable laughter at the sight of it.
