Sokka was running towards the beach, accompanied by Suki. Behind her came the other Kyoshi warriors.

"Wait," Sokka spoke making everyone stop, "Someone go tell Aang and Katara, we need teachers."

Suki turned to a companion, who nodded and returned to the village. Meanwhile, they all continued on the path to the beach.

As soon as they arrived, they saw two ships. Prince Zuko was getting off in one of them, accompanied by his uncle, General Iroh.

"Who are you and what are you doing on our island?" Suki asked looking at Zuko.

Sokka meanwhile, took the opportunity to use his master eyes ability and scan Zuko, he needed to know all the details.

Name: Zuko            Weapons: None

Titles: Prince [+…]  Master: Fire

'So the prince of the fire nation, I wonder what he's doing here?' Sokka thought somewhat confused.

"Let's not beat around the bush, I know the avatar is on this island, bring it to me" Zuko spoke with authority, and then Sokka took a step forward.

"Wait, how do you know that?" The boy from the southern water tribe asked, he was somewhat curious.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I've been tracking his flying bison!" Zuko replied. Although this information was acquired from his uncle.

"Very interesting, but why the avatar and why you?" Sokka needed to answer all of his questions.

More than that though, he was buying time for Aang to arrive. He knew that he was no adversary for Zuko, not yet.

"On my honor, a puny commoner like you would never understand." Zuko clenched his fists.

"You're right, I don't understand," Sokka put his hand on his chin, "But what I understand is that you won't be taking the avatar today, Prince Zuko."

"So you know who I am, then you should know that neither you nor anyone can stop me" Zuko began to approach where they were.

"Another thing you're wrong about!" Sokka threw his boomerang, and the prince easily dodged it.

"What a faker" Zuko began to mock shamelessly and then received a blow to the back of the head from him. The weapon always came back.

"Surprise!" Sokka caught the boomerang and, crouching down, swept the prince's legs, causing the prince to fall irrevocably.

But suddenly, Zuko released a large blast of fire from his legs and Sokka did a backflip. However, his left arm was affected by the wave of fire.

"Ugh" Sokka bit his lip, enduring the pain of the burn. Then, Suki approached him.

"Are you okay?!" The girl looked at the arm of the southern warrior, it was quite red.

"Y'all take care of the rest of the soldiers, the reinforcements will arrive soon" Sokka responded smiling.

Suki nodded and motioned for her companions to run towards the ships, while Zuko looked at Sokka, who was with just one arm left.

"I congratulate you, not everyone would have resisted that" Zuko crossed his arms with a superior smile.

"Yes, I see it on your face" Sokka looked at the burn on the prince's face, who became furious at that comment.

"Don't you EVER dare make fun of me!" Zuko shouted, starting to launch blasts of fire, while Sokka ran.

Sokka ran towards the beach, entering the shore. Zuko followed him there, stopping three feet away.

"Do you know why I brought you to this place?" Sokka asked with a challenging smile.

Zuko raised an eyebrow when suddenly a wave of water hit his body, sending him backwards. And as he stood up, another wave hit him.

This was Katara, who had arrived a few moments ago. Next to her, Aang stood.

"Thank you for coming, although it took longer than expected" Sokka commented smiling and Aang looked at his arm, "Don't worry, it will heal. Go help the girls, there are too many soldiers"

Aang nodded at that, sending blasts of air towards the Fire Nation soldiers. For her part, Katara was besieging Prince Zuko.

But she was getting tired, and Zuko was still getting up. Sokka realized this, he had a plan B in mind for a while.

"Aang, I need you to hide in the village for a while" Sokka looked at the bald boy.

"What? Why?" the avatar was confused.

"I'll use Appa to leave the island, Zuko and his soldiers will leave too thinking that you're the one who left" Sokka replied, "I just need you to create a pretty good distraction"

"Good!" Aang spun around creating a small tornado that filled the area with smoke.

"Now go Aang!" Sokka exclaimed and the boy attended and went to town. Sokka then ran looking for Appa. He got on and flew.

"He's leaving!" Zuko exclaimed, looking at the bison in the sky, and motioned to his soldiers to get on the ship, "This won't stay like this, vulgar peasant, we will meet again."

Katara frowned, watching as the prince walked to his ship and they drove away. Then, Suki approached her, "Where's Sokka?"

"He left with Appa, so they could get away from the island," Aang answered, approaching, "It was a great plan."

"Yes, he told us to go meet those soldiers in the beach so as not to fight in the village," Suki added.

"There's no doubt they would have burned everything," Katara replied and sighed, "Thank goodness Sokka thinks of everything, that's my brother."

And for some reason, Suki smiled.
