"Why are you heading back to the capital of which you were banished?" Asks Iroh to Zuko.
"Yes I agree that is a bad idea." I say
"Look at where the Avatar is." He says
"it's still one of the most foolish things you have done in your lifetime." Iroh says
"Stop do not follow the Avatar. If you do get captured I cannot free you." Says Iroh
"I'm sorry Uncle. Follow Zhao's blockcade!" He orders
After the battle
"The engines are damaged. We need to make repairs."
"Do not stop this ship!" Says Zuko
"Onward." He continues
"Zuko we're on a collision course, we're gonna crash!" I say concerned
"We'll make it! My uncle's worrying is rubbing off on you." He says
"Why didn't Zhao just arrest me?" Asks Zuko surprised after he let us pass
"He thinks you will lead him to the avatar." Says Iroh
"If he wants to follow a trail of smoke. So be it." Says Zuko
"Zuko. I feel like something is bound to go wrong. Perhaps we should wait for Zhao to fail." I offer
"No!" He says annoyed
----------
Roku's Temple
----------
"The avatar is here to speak to Roku." I remark
"Are you coming?" He asks me and Iroh
"I'll stay here for backup. If you absolutely need it. I don't feel like follow this doomed misson." I say
"Tea?" Asks Iroh
"Sure." I say
A while later Zuko returns.
"What did I tell you?" I say annoyed
----------------
A few days later
---------------
"Did you notice that the ship is changing course?" Asks Zuko
"Let's check why." I say
Zuko storms into the captain's room.
"What is the meaning of this mutiny!? No one told you to change course." He says angrily
"Actually I did. For a good reason." Iroh says
"You found the avatar?" Zuko says excited
"Even more important than that." He says
"It seems I have lost my lotus tile."
I see Zuko's face of frustration and snicker
"What's so funny Amara!?" He yells
"You." I say
"Lotus tile?" Asks Zuko finally
"For my Pai Sho game." He says
"You've changed our course for a stupid lotus tile!" Zuko yells
"Let me go to the port and look around and I'll be on with my life." Says Iroh
Zuko breathes angry fire.
"I'm lucky to have such an understanding nephew." He says as Zuko and I walk out
"Zuko you only get one family. And sometimes that means their needs over your own." I say
"He sure has a lot of needs for an old man." He says
------------
Market place
------------
"We looked for an hour Iroh, I couldn't find it." I say
"Good to know that this trip was a complete waste of time." Says Zuko annoyed
"Not really. I found many things for a great price." Says Iroh as I see many of Zuko's crew carrying items to the ship
"You bought a Tsungi Horn?"
"For music night on the ship." He says
Zuko and I facepalm at the same time
"The girl and the bald monk stole just a water bending scroll" says a pirate
"Did he have an arrow on his head?" Asks Zuko
"Yes." They say
"They must be near water then." I say
"I agree. Let's go." Says Zuko
"Stupid scroll!" I hear Katara's voice in the woods we are nearing
I sneak behind her.
"Hello." I say handing her to the pirate
She hits him in the face and this time Zuko captures her.
"I'll save you from the pirates." He says
He ties her to a tree.
"Tell me where the avatar is and I won't hurt you or your brother." He says
"If you don't I will hurt all of you. And I don't show as much restraint as Prince Zuko." I say laughing
"He has no restraint!" Says Katara
"Perhaps I could help you to understand. See bringing the avatar helps restore something I lost. My honor." He says
"Perhaps in exchange I can give you something." He says showing her mother's necklace
"My mother's necklace! How did you get that!?" She asks
"Zuko give it back to her." I say
"What?!" They both say to me
"I can tell like us that she has lost her mother." I say to him
"And I thought I was the sentimental one." He says
"Zuko please." I say
"Fine." He says
"Give me something else to track them with." He whispers in my ear.
"Find the boy! Then I will give you back your precious scroll." He says to the pirates
A little bit later the pirates return with Sokka and Aang.
"Now give us the boy!" Says Zuko
"The Scroll first." They say
"You are really gonna trade a water bending scroll for the Avatar." Says Sokka
"Don't listen to him he's trying to turn us against each other."
"Your friend is the avatar?" They ask
"Sure is. And I bet the reward is 100 times bigger for him than the scroll." He says
"Shut up water tribe peasant!"
"Yeah really Sokka!" Says Aang
"Keep the scroll. We can get a hundred from the reward we'll get from the kid."
"You will regret double crossing us!" Yells Zuko
I breathe a ferocious fire at the Pirates.
After a fight for a while
"Stop fighting the Avatar and friends have stolen your ship." I say to the pirates
Zuko laughs
"Hey that's my ship!" Yells Zuko as the pirates steal his ship
We chase the ship and we see it fall down a waterfall
"My ship!" Yells Zuko
"Prince Zuko, you're really going to get a kick out of this. That lotus tile was in my sleeve the whole time!" Says Iroh
Zuko growls and throws the tile into the waterfall.
