Chapter Two: A Chance Encounter in the South Pole Pt. 2

Zuko shot a huge column of violet flames which was blocked by Aang's pole as he spun it around, creating air currents to dissipate the flames. As he did so, Frankie and Sokka charged forward with the former drew his Zanpakuto as they both aimed for Zuko's head. The Fire Nation Prince ducked and punched Sokka in the gut but failed to actually injure Frankie, who swiped his sword towards his good eye. Zuko jumped back as a small trickle of blood fell from his face. He revealed to have a small cut just above his good eyes. Frankie looked at him and smirked, his eyes like a predator seeking its prey. Zuko smirked as well, then sent a large torrent of flame from his mouth. Frankie brought up his arms to cover his face but was saved when a wave of water blocked the flames. Katara reeled back and brought the water back to her, ready for another attack. Zuko was getting irritated as he kicked up several arcs of flames, which were either blocked by Aang's Airbending or Katara's Waterbending. Meanwhile, Sokka threw his boomerang, which was casually smacked away by Zuko as he sent another fireball towards him. Frankie stood in front of him and narrowly smacked the fireball away with his aura-infused hand. During the duration of the fight, he was analyzing Zuko's fighting style. Based on what he saw so far, his style revolved more around offense, mostly for distance attacks while he was left open after firing off an attack.

As soon as he fires off an attack, I'll move in close and take him down from there.

Frankie waited patiently as he saw Zuko fire another fireball, this one significantly more powerful than the others. Aang got in front of it and spun his staff. In spite of the air currents however, most of the fire got past his defense and made contact. Yelling in pain, Aang fell into a snow drift, smoke coming off his person as he landed.

"AANG!!" Katara shouted. She then turned to Zuko with pure malice in her eyes. Befire Frankie could say anything, he saw something different going on with the Water Tribe girl. He saw a crimson aura slowly envelop her body and her eyes began to glow red.

"I'll kill you...I'LL KILL YOU!!" she shouted in rage that surprised practically everyone except Zuko, who gave an evil grin as he made a "bring it on" gesture with his hands. Katara summoned more and more water that soon began to take on a slightly crimson hue.

''Her too? What's going on?!''
