409. Teaching a Lesson

Alexander walked to General Zhao and lifted him from his neck, "That spirit was even older than all your ancestor's ages combined. Killing it doesn't make you great, it makes you the stupidest man alive. I will hand you over to the spirits to be judged for the crimes."

Alexander then walked up to the fish pond and picked the dead body of the Moon spirit. It was a white fish with a black dot on its head. Combined with its partner, the ocean spirit both creates a yin yang sign.

He quickly reversed the time of the body of the moon spirit and soon it started flapping.

He smiled warmly and put it back in the water to reunite with its partner. In that instant, the moon's color also returned to normal. Alexander also put everlasting magic barriers on their bodies now so that they cannot ever be harmed. Whoever attacks them in any way, the attack will get reversed and hit the attacker.

He put his hand in the water and patted their small heads. The two fishes showed their pleasure by rubbing their heads on his hands, "Haha, you will not have to worry anymore about someone attacking. I have put a shield around you."

His words were only loud enough for the spirits to hear. But then suddenly the two dots on the fishes started to shine and from them came out to a slightly humanoid figure.

One blue and white. They were the size of small tailed beasts. They quickly came up to him and gave him a small hug. "Haha, you didn't have to do that. Now, what will your punishment be for this perpetrator?"

The two spirits looked at fear-stricken Zhao and then Alexander. Alexander quickly understood what they wanted to do. "I agree with this punishment."

Alexander looked back at Zhao, "The spirits have decided to imprison you in the Fog of Lost Souls."

Of course, most people there didn't know about the meaning behind Fog of Lost Souls. It was a boundless prison for humans located within the Spirit World. It was inhabited by a sentient fog spirit that can infect the minds of individuals, effectively driving them insane by imprisoning them in their own darkest memories. It acted somewhat like his own Time Torture.

"NO! NO! You don't come closer. I am General Zhao, you will have the whole Fire Nation against you if you touch me." Zhao shouted.

"Like I care about that," Alexander scoffed.

*BAM*

Ragnarok landed behind Zhao and fire swatted on the back of Zhao's head, sending him flying towards the Moon Spirit.

Zhao quickly got held by the Moon spirit as they disappeared back to their body after giving a slight bow to Alexander.

Chomei, Shukaku, and Kurama walked up to the fish pond and looked at the shining fishes. All three had come with Ragnarok.

Shukaku then tried to catch the fish but got hit by Kurama on the back of his head.

*BAM*

"You dumb trash panda, those are pure ancient spirits. Don't hurt then. Pray to them and just pay respects." Kurama said.

"Oh," Shukaku exclaimed and pressed his palms together.

"Oh ancient spirit, bless me so G-Chan never runs out of Ramen," He loudly prayed.

Then Chomei innocently prayed, "Beautiful Spirit, I am Lucky Seven Chomei, give me the power to always help my G-Chan."

The two then looked at Kurama. "Hey, aren't you going to pray?"

Kurama scoffed, "Hah, I've already done it, I don't need to loudly say it for all to hear."

Shukaku and Chomei complained, "Hey, not fair, you heard our requests. Tell us yours."

They soon got into a small argument and moved to the side. Everyone was confused by the beasts but they took them for some spirit too.

Iroh walked to Alexander in shock, "I didn't know you were a fire bender and also have such an understanding of the spiritual world."

Alexander scratched his long white beard, "Haha, you never asked, my friend. Ah, meet Ragnarok, he's my good friend, also the most powerful fire bender I have ever seen in the world."

Iroh looked at Ragnarok's regal attire, "Such fine silk, where did you buy it, my friend?"

"I made it myself," Ragnarok replied, he couldn't say it was from Phixheim.

Iroh's face became like he was struck with enlightenment, "Oh, so you are a silk tradesman. Indeed a very profitable business. I will buy some silk from you for my nephew, he likes such shiny things."

Ragnarok scratched his head and just nodded. Alexander decided to stop any more misunderstandings from happening.

"So, what are you going to do now, Iroh? I'm sure the fire nation will soon declare you a traitor." He asked.

"NO, THEY WON'T" Zuko got up from the ground. He was unconscious all this time.

"If I catch the Avatar and bring him to father, he will let us stay," Zuko said.

Alexander looked at the little bald kid and then Zuko, "No, Saitam... I mean Aang will be staying here. You, on the other hand, need to open your eyes and look at the reality of the world. Look around you, what the fire nation has done to the world. Then judge who is in the right, the Avatar, or the Fire Nation."

Zuko angrily replied, "You know nothing. And who are you to speak to me like that? You are also a firebender, a citizen of Fire Nation, you also come under me."

"I don't think so," Alexander replied.

"I will teach you manners then," Zuko ran up to fight him.

Ragnarok walked up to Iroh, "Ah, he shouldn't have done that. Wanna bet on who wins?"

Iroh caressed his beard, "I don't want to but I will put a gold coin on my nephew, family should always have each other's back."

"Haha, okay then," Ragnarok laughed.

Zuko kicked towards Alexander while using fire bending. All his attacks were with fire. But Alexander wasn't using anything and was just moving around and dodging the fire.

He jumped and rolled around slowly decreasing the distance between them. "You put too much rage and little thought behind your moves,"

"HAAA..." Zuko turned his body and threw a sidekick.

But Alexander simply rolled towards his side, just beside his face.

*BOOOM*

He threw a normal uppercut at his jaw, throwing Zuko ten feet off the ground. Then just as Zuko was about to fall he lightly kicked his body, throwing him towards the feet of Iroh.

"Just brute strength will not get you far, kid. You still have a lot to learn." Alexander said.

Zuko was still down on the ground and accepted his defeat. Just one single move it took the old man to defeat him, and he didn't even use fire bending.

Iroh helped Zuko get up slowly. But then Zuko asked something to Alexander, "Who are you? You are clearly very strong and yet no one has ever mentioned you in fire country."

Alexander laughingly replied, "Hahaha, I'm just a wandering old man, child. Don't fret about it. You should worry about training yourself for now, otherwise forget Avatar, you can't even catch that monkey."

Just then the monkey started making angry noises at Alexander, "Haha, okay, Momo, not monkey"

Zuko embarrassingly stayed silent. Iroh came to Alexander and shook hands with him, "Well, I guess we will be parting ways now, my friend. I really liked that tea you gave me."

Alexander patted Iroh's shoulders, "I have a feeling that we will meet again, Iroh."

"I hope so, take care." Iroh helped Zuko up and walked away.

"See you later, my silk tradesman friend, here, I lost the bet," Iroh tossed the gold coin to Ragnarok and left.

"How did you do that? How did you bring the moon spirit back to life? I felt it was dead," Aang quickly asked him when he came out of his stupor, he was too shocked and devastated seeing Moon spirit die.

"Haha, so you are the new Avatar. I think you already know how I did that because you know who I am," Alexander cryptically said while softly smiling at him.

~He is nearby you, you just have to find him,~ Aang remembered the words of Roku.

"SPIRIT GOD?!" Aang excitedly exclaimed.
