434. Western Air Temple

He started pushing people around. All the big sinners who liked torturing their prisoners in ways unimaginable were simply thrown into the boiling water of the prison island's boiling lake. Nothing could be a bigger punishment than that for them.

He kept on dealing with guards and made an inspection of the prison. It was clean but also not that good of a place. There was constant bullying by the Fire Nation guards, telling the prisoners that their homes had been captured or that their family was dead, this worked badly for their mental conditions. Also, the heat was unbearable for them. He saw people from various nations and tribes that were against the Fire Nation, this made it even worse for them. Still, if one laid low, they wouldn't find too much trouble. There were just a few guards who went overboard.

Then finally he saw the warden of the prison. He looked at the man's sins and was surprised that it was so low. He looked at his past life and found out that the warden was extremely demanding and impatient but he was still not inhumane. He didn't lack empathy as he deeply loved his family. He was just too professional.

Another interesting thing he found out was that he was the brother of Michi. The Fire nation governor sent to Omashu that Alexander caught. The man was still living in Omashu with his family under the eyes of King Bumi.

Seeing this, Alexander decided to not kill this one. But he still continued dealing with other sinner guards.

"WHO ARE YOU?" The warden asked.

"I am Alex but people usually call me the Spirit God," Alexander announced.

The warden's eyes widened. He was not going to believe it but he did when he saw the man using various styles of bending and he was sure that the Avatar was supposed to be a bald kid, not an old man.

"I am taking over this prison. You can keep the job but you will have to work for me." Alexander proposed.

"But I work for the Fire Lord," he argued.

"You still can, just not the same one," Alexander said and called for Zuko to come. He used his anywhere door this time.

"Meet Prince Zuko, the next Fire Lord. He has the support of me, General Iroh, and the Avatar. Can Ozai win now?" Alexander asked.

"Prince Zuko? But he's exiled. How can h.." The warden was stopped from speaking more by Zuko.

"You are Mai's uncle, that is why I will not get angry but remember one thing, I will be the Fire Lord. I have strength and support. You can either join me or rot in prison." Zuko sternly said.

It was obvious he was trying to solidify his image as a ruling figure. It also seems to work as the warden looked a bit scared.

Then, he suddenly kneeled, "I surrender to you, Prince Zuko. I will obey your command."

"Then release all the innocents jailed here, no matter which kingdom they're from," Alexander ordered.

After a few hours, all the innocent political prisoners were released. Alexander did some health checks and let them go. They all were from other nations. Many people from the water tribe were imprisoned there too. Also, a Kyoshi warrior.

Alexander just used his anywhere door to send them to their places. But the Kyoshi warrior wanted to come with them as she knew the Aang gang.

Alexander returned with Zuko to a small nearby island where they were training.

"Oh, Sokka, how are you?" The girl, Suki, ran to him and hugged him. Then she planted a kiss on his cheek.

Everyone was looking at the interaction suspiciously.

"Sokka, didn't you promise Yue that you would come back to her and marry her?" Alexander asked, alarming both Sokka and Suki.

"WHAT?" Suki shouted.

After that, what happened was the torture of Sokka. Suki turned out to be a very talented warrior and punisher of bad deeds.

"Let's go to the western air temple as planned," Alexander announced.

They all got on to Appa's back and started their journey. Alexander had forgotten a big detail about what he had done in the past and he was going to rectify it.

"Why are we going to the temple? Shouldn't we be preparing for the war?" Toph asked.

"No need to worry about that. Dobby has relayed the message to all other major powers who are oppressed by the fire nation. On the day of the black sun, they all will jointly attack the fire nation. I will be with Aang and Zuko, to help complete their task." He explained the plan.

"And then I will happily retire to my beloved tea shop," Iroh commented.

"Haha, sure. In fact, why don't you start tea farming? It is surely a very profitable business." Alexander proposed.

"Ah, that I will leave to the young people. I am too old for farming and want some rest now." Iroh said.

"Hah, sure, we can have our Sokka man the fields then. I'm sure he can't do anything else after losing his dignity so brutally." Toph japed.

"No, he is going to be my horse from now on." Suki huffed. She was still sitting on the back of a beaten Sokka.

Amidst a few jokes and laughter, they eventually reached their destination.

The Western Air Temple was one of the four original temples of the Air Nomads and one of the two, the other being the Eastern Air Temple, that exclusively housed female Airbenders.

It was located in the mountains north of the Fire Nation. The temple was notable in that, unlike the other temples, it was situated underneath the edge of a cliff instead of atop a mountain.

The spires gave the appearance of having been built upside-down, and because of that, the temple was hidden to the passerby. Its design allowed the wind to flow into even the deepest chambers, which made the Air Nomads feel at home. Avatar Yangchen was born and raised at the Western Air Temple.

They all were mesmerized by the wonderful ruins that once used to be a peaceful temple with beautiful flying bisons roaming around.

*Sigh*

"This used to be an amazing place. But it was also the first to be attacked due to its close proximity to the fire nation." Iroh muttered.

They all nodded at that. But Aang's face looked clearly sad. He thought about his old days when he used to play with so many of his friends. He may have never shown it but he still remembered them all. To him, it was not a hundred years as he had no memory recollection of that. To him, the moment he woke up from that iceberg, his whole world was shattered. Suddenly the whole world was at war and his people were gone.

Alexander felt the emotional storm he was going through so he patted his head, "Don't be sad, child. I advise you to keep on looking forward, who knows what it may hold."

"WAAAAAA..." suddenly the voice of a sky bison echoed around the place.

They all looked back and saw Aapa looking confused too.

"What was that noise?" Aang wondered loudly.

Then to their shock, a sky bison flew close by. Appa, seeing his people, flew up to meet them. The excitement and happiness were clear as a day on Appa's cute face.

"Woah, there is still a sky bison?" Aang exclaimed.

"Who said there was only one," Alexander said, gaining everyone's attention.

"Look there," he pointed to one side.

Soon many more sky bison started to come to them. There were many little ones too.

"Haha... look at Appa, he looks so happy," Katara exclaimed.

But what came next made them drop their jaws. Many more flying bison came and on their backs were people in Air Nomad's clothes.

There were men and women alike. All of them were sporting an arrow on their heads. This showed that they were airbenders.

Alexander started speaking to remove their doubts, "When I came to this place during the attack of Fire Nation. I saw that they were not killing them but capturing them. They were all female air benders and I knew how they would be treated. So, I saved them all. Not just them but many more monks from other temples. Sadly, most of them denied my help and wanted to hold their ground. Saying that they won't be able to live with it if they did not even defend their homes."

"M-my people... I am not alone?" Aang muttered, his heart was pounding very fast from all the excitement and happiness.

*BOOOM*

Before anything could happen an explosion occurred, injuring a baby sky bison. Alexander immediately teleported and caught it. Its fluffy body was going cold fast so he quickly used his Devil Fruit power to bring his body back to the state it was a minute ago.

The baby bison immediately got better and looked at Alexander's face. Then he licked it. "Haha, go to your mother now, little one,"

Then he looked at who it was that attacked. It was a man with a tattoo of the third eye on his forehead. But Alexander didn't need to fight him as Bunpuku had come out.

Bunpuku had become the spiritual guide of all the airbenders in the past few years. He taught them many things while living on a secluded planet in Alexander's solar system.

Bunpuku stood in front of the attacker with a namaste hand pose. He spoke in a calm yet chilling voice, "Violence leads to corruption and corruption leads not to nirvana. Repent you can right now or he who exerts violence upon others, by violence shall he be taught!"
