"Let's go, Appa! Come on, boy!" Appa roars in protest and sits down Aang sadly addresses his pet, sighing. " Look, I'm sorry, but Katara and Sokka aren't coming to the Fire Nation with us. If they got hurt, I'd never forgive myself. So get your big butt off the ground and let's go!"
Appa still refuses.
He jerks at the reins, stretching them out, but is flung to the ground when the ropes pull him back as Appa did not move a muscle. Aang gasps in surprise and looks over his right shoulder and over his left, turning around in search for the origins of the voice.
"I think his big butt is trying to tell ya something." Sokka says.
"Please don't go, Aang. The world can't afford to lose you to the Fire Nation. Neither can I." Katara desperately pleads.
Aang looks away sadly and recalls an image of Sozin's Comet. " But I have to talk to Avatar Roku to find out what my vision means! I need to get to the Fire Temple before the sun sets on the solstice. That's today!"
Aang airbends himself atop Appa's head, looking back with a sad expression on his face as he prepares to leave. As Appa stands up, Kenshin, Katara and Sokka run to stand before the bison, preventing him from moving any further.
"We're not letting you go into the fire nation, Aang", Katara exclaims.
"At least not without your friends", Sokka smirks.
"We got your back!" Kenshin added.
Momo soars up and perches atop Aang's shoulder, and Appa licks Sokka, who angrily looks at the bison. "EW!" Sokka gags.
"It's a long journey to the Crescent Island.You'll have to fly fast to have any chance of making it before sundown. Good luck." a man explains.
"Thank you for your-"
"Go!"
Kenshin, Katara, and Sokka quickly get onto Appa.
Appa takes off with Aang, Kenshin, Katara, and Sokka. Later that morning, the Senlin Village leader exits a building, but he stops in his track upon finding Zuko standing in his path.
"Having trouble sleeping?" Zuko pushes the man back through the door, knocking him down. "Seen the Avatar and Battosai lately?"
{~With Kenshin~}
Day has come. Appa soars over the ocean. Kenshin, Aang, Katara, and Sokka all watch the ocean fearfully.
"Come on, boy, we've got a long way to go. Faster!"
"Aang! We got trouble!", Katara yells.
"What?", Aang questions.
"That's Zuko's ship!", Kenshin shouted.
{~With (Y/n)~}
"Sailing into Fire Nation waters ... Of all the foolish things you've done in your sixteen years, Prince Zuko, this is the most foolish!" Iroh said.
"I have no choice, Uncle."
"Have you completely forgotten that the Fire Lord banished you and your sister?" Iroh fears. "What if you're caught?"
Zuko breaks away from telescope to talk to his uncle. " I'm chasing the Battosai and the Avatar! My father will understand why I am returning home!"
"You give him too much credit. My brother is not the understanding type!"
Zuko looks back into his telescope. Dark scope view reveals Appa mid-flight. "There they are. Helmsman! Full steam ahead!"
"Oh Himura..." You whispered. A Fire Nation catapult is raised to the deck of Zuko's ship. It is loaded with a steaming projectile.
