417. Car Ride

Later that Day, Toph came back to her house and was bombarded with questions from her father. So, she just brought them to the garden and proceeded to show them her earth bending. Alexander also challenged her and she showed him her prowess.

"That old man even cured my eyes. I can see just like anyone else now." She added,

Both her parents were dumbfounded.

"I want to go out, father. I can learn so many things in the capital. Not to mention I will be friends with Avatar. Imagine the opportunities I can generate for our family. You were worried about me all this time because I was blind but now I am not and I even have the power to keep myself safe. I want to see the world outside, father." She pleaded.

"Yes, Earth King Kuei will also be very pleased to see her," Alexander said, buttering up the deal even more.

The mention of the earth king piqued Lao Beifong's interest. "Will my daughter meet the king?"

"Yes, she will," Alexander affirmed.

With that, Toph was free to come along with Alexander and the rest. They didn't waste any time and went back to Appa.

When they arrived they saw Chomei making Azula sing songs along with him.

"Sing with me, sick girl."

♫G-Chan is the best,

He let me have some rest

Helping him is my life's quest♫

♫La Lala La Laaaa

La Lala La Laaaaaaaa♫

♫G-Chan gives me tasty food

So I won't ever be rude.

Lucky Seven Chomei Will always be gooooood♫

"Hey, are you stupid, you are not Lucky Seven Chomei, use your own name" He angrily told Azula who was copycatting his song to not get tickled by him.

"BWAAAA!" Appa also made noises from beside them, trying to mimic the songs.

Just then Alexander came, "Hahaha, what is my small potato doing?"

"G-Chan!" Chomei flew into his arms and snuggled.

"So, how was your work today?" he asked.

"Oh, this meanie tried to run three hundred times but I caught her and gave tickle treatment. She is doing good now." Chomei briefed.

Ragnarok walked up to Azula in wonder, "How the hell were you able to attempt escape 300 times when we were gone just for a few hours."

"Haha, it's okay. She is getting better. Get on Appa, everyone. We are leaving for Ba Sing Se," he announced.

"SING? Do people sing there?" Chomei asked with a confused voice.

"Umm, not everyone but you can surely find many people there who will sing along my sweet Chomei," Alexander replied and handed Chomei to Amy.

...

Zuko and Iroh had been traveling all this time. They were headed to Ba Sing Se too. They wanted to start a new life there.

"Uncle, I thought a lot about what you said. It helped me realize something. We no longer have anything to gain by traveling together. I need to find my own way." Zuko said and started to leave.

"WAIT!" Iroh stopped him and gave him his Ostrich horse. Zuko didn't even say anything and just left.

*Poof*

Hats appeared again, "Ah, man. Who should I follow now? Well, I guess I will stick with you, old man. At least you are not emo and you pass the vibe check."

Iroh was not surprised by the magical cat anymore. In an optimistic way, he just considered Hats his guardian spirit for now.

"Tea, my friend?" He asked Hats.

Hats nodded with a wide smile, "Sure,"

...

Alexander was calmly relaxing on the back of Appa. He was thinking about going to Phixheim and spending some time with Olivia soon.

But then he noticed a very poor village down. He realized that he has been neglecting his duty to uplift the world. He shouldn't just accompany the Avatar. He should help the world.

"You all head to Ba Sing Se, I will catch up with you all soon. I am going to go and help the people down there." Alexander announced.

"Good luck, I'm gonna stay here and enjoy drinks," Ragnarok waved his hand lazily.

"Okay, Chomei, you are the boss," Alexander said and jumped down.

After reaching the ground, he took out the cheat mobile and spawned a Buffalo car. He then proceeded to rip the roof out and upgrade the suspension to go off-road. Alexander also brought Yalo out with him for some quality time. He didn't want to neglect his family anymore.

~Now it looks like a good adventure car.~

...

Zuko traveled the Earth Kingdom all alone, in search of a desire to do something. He was lost and had no idea what to do since he was named a fugitive by Fire Nation. All the past three years he had been chasing the Avatar but now even if he caught the Avatar there was no profit for him. He always wondered why his father hated him so much when all he had done was ask a question in the war meeting 3 years ago.

He was too young but still, his father challenged him to an Agni Kai and burned his face. He couldn't understand how a father could be this cruel to his own son. But putting all such thoughts behind his head he kept ongoing.

He was soon nearby a village called Plains Village. It was a sandy and poor place. Zuko had been going hungry till now and was looking for food.

On his way he found a man cooking some meat near a river. The thought of stealing it for himself crossed his mind. But then he noticed the man's pregnant wife.

He knew that they were most likely the refugees, trying to get to Ba Sing Se as it was the safest place in the Earth Kingdom. This mass migration again was caused by his own home country.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Zuko looked back and noticed a big black monster coming towards him at a very high speed. He immediately jumped down from his horse and took out his sword to face it.

"What is this thing?" He asked himself.

The next moment Alexander stopped his car beside him, "Oh, so it's you. Why are you traveling alone? Where is my friend, Iroh?"

"We parted ways. What is this thing you are riding?" Zuko asked.

"Oh, this is complicated machinery called a car. It runs on fuel. Why don't you jump in? I'll drive you to your next location. I am headed to the nearby town." Alexander offered.

Alexander noticed the desire in Zuko's eyes but he was not entering. His petty arrogance was stopping him from socializing. "Oh come on, don't be shy. Get in."

He then secretly ordered the Ostrich Horse to run away. "See, now you don't even have the horse. Ah, look, more people. I should help them."

Alexander got out of the car and walked to the husband and wife near the riverside.

"Greetings, travelers," Alexander greeted them.

The man looked at him suspiciously, "Yes?"

"Oh, don't be afraid of me, children. I am just a passerby. I saw you two here with no means of traveling. Your wife here is pregnant and it is bad to make her walk in such heat. Come, I will give you a lift in my cart." He offered.

The husband and wife looked at each other and nodded. Alexander's aura was always filled with positivity so normal people easily trusted him "Thank you, kind mister."

Alexander helped them pack up and get in the car. Inside, Yalo was sitting in the driver's seat. Alexander picked him up and then put him on his lap.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Yalo had some kind of revenge to settle with the car horn and was pressing it continuously. Alexander just made the horn's sound only audible by Yalo.

"Okay, let's go then. Where are you two going?" He asked the couple.

"Ba Sing Se, we want to take refuge there after our village was burned by the fire nation's army." The man answered.

Alexander saw the guilt appearing on Zuko's face.

"Haha, what a coincidence, I am going to Ba Sing Se too. If you are lucky, you will be able to meet the Avatar as well." He revealed. Not just for the couple but Zuko too. Now Alexander was sure that Zuko would stick with him.

"Okay, it's time for some music then," Alexander cheerfully stated and switched on the music played.

"Am a barbie..."

"Dammit, not this again. I hate barbies." He cursed and put on some orchestra music.

"Such a fascinating machine, this level of technology is even beyond the fire nation," Zuko exclaimed.

He quietly drove and others marveled at the changing scenery so fast while Yalo was still busy with the horn.
