omg, but who? the Dark Warrior? Zakura? Katara? Chuck Norris? Avatar Yangchen? Tera253?
eh, I'll shut up now. anyways, Chapter 40. sort of filler, but it's also a lead-up to something else, so yeah, it might suck but OH WELLZ I'M ALMOST DEAD ANYWAYS...
CHAPTER 40: SOMEONE WAITING FOR THEM
The earthbender that Zinjamyn and his gang had ‘talked’ to in Gaoling was nothing like they expected, and ironically, they never expected to see him again. Incidentally, he was only there on a trip of some sort, as shortly after they had departed, he had returned to Ba Sing Se.
It was around this same time that Alzar and Shinon were back at one of the local taverns getting drunk, and maybe by coincidence, he was often seen doing various things around this place.
Meanwhile, back at the base, Katara’s mother was still in awe about the place, for it was huge. Additionally, the fact that she had met 2 of The Four Benders and that they had volunteered to take her to the Northern Water Tribe to get her son out of there had her happier than she normally was.
Sanaki on the other hand, was wondering where Meili had gone. She was a rather outgoing little girl, and so when the only person she felt in the room was Katara, she approached her anyways.
“Do you know where Meili went,” she asked, for Katara had obviously been introduced to everyone (courtesy of Royota) by this time.
“Meili,” said Katara, thinking and remembering who that was, “no, um, I don’t. I did see her leave here a while ago and she hasn’t come back as far as I’ve seen, and I’ve been here since then.”
“Oh,” said Sanaki, “okie. Thanks anyways.”
She smiled at Katara and then turned and she too actually left the base. Katara smiled weakly back as Sanaki skipped away.
Royota appeared shortly afterwards, followed by Ryuka.
“Where are you two going,” she asked curiously,
“I’m not sure about Ryuka,” said Royota, “but I need to go find Alzar and Shinon, both of whom are most likely very drunk.”
Ryuka said nothing, and he didn’t stop when Royota did, so Katara assumed they were on different missions.
“I guess I’ll go with you,” she said, standing up. Her clothing was much like that of young Katara’s, except it was Water Tribe style, as she was a waterbender. (Her husband had been a firebender, which is where Katara II picked it up from)
Having known The Four Benders most of his life, Royota knew exactly where they would be. Along the way they ran into Meili and Sanaki, who had met up sometime while they were out. They both looked a little beaten up, but were grinning.
“What happened to you two,” Royota asked them, though he didn’t seem angry in the slightest,
“Alleyway brawl,” Meili replied, “someone thought it’d be fun to steal my cash, and Sanaki nudged me and we went after ‘em.”
“I take it from that small, burning mountain I see that you two had some fun there?” he said, slightly chuckling, and Sanaki giggled. Meili grinned.
“Sounds about right,” said Meili, “but hey, we’re alive. Be thankful.”
“I was not worried that you two would be killed, Meili Meisha,” said Royota gently, “I just find it amusing is all.”
“Alright then,” said Meili, and they continued walking, Royota in the lead. Right as they rounded a corner though, Meili’s glazed eyes popped open and her left ear twitched like it so usually did when a certain person was in her vicinity. This wasn’t a bad thing, but Meili’s left hear would twitch whenever she felt the presence of...
“Mom,” she said, turning around, and to the surprise of the others, there was Zuki Meisha, complete with an enormous happy smile on a face whose left side held the notorious scar that held many shades of red. Some said it made her more attractive. Zuki however, as always, was just clueless about it, and everything else. She was widely known as The Two-Faced Lady because of how different she looked when looking at her side view from the left compared to the right.
It was much different than the scar Kimiko had on her face—Zuki’s covered most of the left side of her face, while Kimiko’s was just a decent-sized area around her left eye that extended back a little.
“Meili,” said Zuki, holding out her arms; and Meili’s instincts as Zuki’s child were to run into her arms, and she did.
“Mom,” said Meili after they had embraced, “what’s Zuki doing here?”
Zuki often got confused when someone addressed her with ‘you’. The easiest ways to talk with Zuki and have her understand you were to use her name whenever necessary, even if it made you sound stupid. However, Zuki did recognize her children of course, and when one of them addressed her as “mom”, she knew what they meant.
Other than that though, Meili was like Zuki’s motherly figure instead of the other way around. It was slightly ironic, but neither Zuki nor Meili minded. Meili did protect her family’s honor, and didn’t hesitate to beat up anyone who tried to degrade her mother’s honor.
“Zuki doesn’t know,” Zuki replied, “Zuki thinks she was looking for someone. Zuki was looking for her friend.”
“Who’s Zuki’s friend,” Meili asked her,
“Zuki’s friend’s name is Da,” Zuki replied, and suddenly they heard someone coming, and a huge man rounded the corner. Zuki’s face lit up.
“Da,” she exclaimed, and she ran to meet him. The others were pretty much just watching, as they didn’t want to interrupt Zuki, and, like Meili, they knew that Zuki was not someone to leave by herself.
“Da does mean ‘big’,” said Royota, “so I can see why they call him that”
Da was about 7 feet in height, and, like Zuki, was incredibly strong. Unlike Zuki though, who did not look very strong (especially considering how pretty she was and that she was usually wearing a dress), Da had the look and everything. He was a beast of a man. Royota looked at him closely as he grabbed Zuki in a crushing hug that made Zuki yell, grunt and laugh as his arms constricted her.
“ZUKI,” he said, still almost crushing her. Zuki was still laughing.
“Is she going to be alright, Mei—Meili?” Sanaki exclaimed, but Meili was gone. She was behind Royota, who was chuckling.
“Aye, I remember this man,” he muttered to himself, “Da,” he called out, “Come give uncle Royota a hug!”
Da dropped Zuki, who landed rather sharply on her back, and ran over to Royota. Of course, Zuki was alright; but because she looked so fragile it worried some people. Da got Royota in one of his “bear-hugs of death” and after he was done, he targeted Meili. Luckily he must have figured that Sanaki was more delicate than the likes of Meili, for he was much gentler with her.
Surprisingly though, Zuki got up and bear-hugged Da with enough might to make him yell, and this had everyone but Meili surprised. Zuki let Da back down (Zuki was about 5’9”; Da was about 7’0”, so Zuki had to lift him into the air—something she was able to do remarkably easily) and then Meili got his attention.
“Da,” said Meili quietly, “make sure she stays safe, alright?”
“Da make sure Zuki get home okay, Meili,” he said, smiling,
Meili smiled back.
“Thanks,” she said, and then turned to the others.
“Alright,” she said, “I’m done here. Take care, aright mom?”
Zuki turned and smiled.
“Zuki stays out of trouble this time,” she said proudly, and Royota and Katara watched them leave (Meili and Sanaki couldn’t watch obviously, being blind and all).
Alzar and Shinon were found out cold in an alleyway. They seemed totally drunk, battered, and slightly bruised.
“Are you two alright,” Katara exclaimed, as they were the two people who she was most likely to talk to, since they had brought her in. Alzar was unconscious on Shinon’s shoulder, and Shinon was barely around.
“We had a bit too much to drink,” said Shinon, “and some of them caught us off guard and took us out.”
“You didn’t fight back,” Royota exclaimed,
“Aye,” said Shinon, “we did, but things are a bit harder to focus on when you’re wasted. The only reason they didn’t take us was because we were two of The Four Benders, and they know that we could whip them.”
“Who are “they”,” Royota asked;
“We don’t know,” Shinon shrugged, standing up, and putting his hands underneath Alzar’s armpits, hoisting her up. She seemed asleep (as sleep is unconsciousness), but slowly came to consciousness, enabling Shinon to let her stand on her own. “They did do something to us though, but what exactly they did to us slips my mind at this time.”
“Let’s get you back home then,” said Royota, “Katara, can you take Alzar for me, please?”
“Aye” Katara nodded. Though she was generally low-spirited because of the extended separation from her children, Katara I was still a rather friendly woman, for she mostly kept her own troubles to herself. Unfortunately, her daughter was the same way, but on a much more extreme level, being a young woman who dislikes getting help from anyone in general; even when she knows she needs it.
Nevertheless, Royota hoisted up Shinon, and Katara hoisted up Alzar, and together, they, Meili, and Sanaki returned home.
“Are they gonna be Okie,” Sanaki asked earnestly
“They should be,” said Royota confidently, “I’m not exactly sure what happened, but I guarantee they’re not going to die from it.
They’re far too tough for that.”
“Oh,” said Sanaki, “okie then.”
They had left the base in the late afternoon, and after stopping to talk with Da and Zuki, and then finding Shinon and Alzar it was nearly dark. When they got back to the base, night had fallen. Upon their re-entry though, they had quite the shock—there was Someone Waiting for Them.
