[b][i]Siku - Response[/i][/b]

Sadly for Siku and his family, Unalaq/Fake Aang did not fail to spot them, and as they snuck off, a wall of ice and earth rose in front of them, barring their way. The Dark Avatar walked towards the three, saying, "Ah, Sokka, Katara, Kya, and [i]Little Siku[/i], why the hurry? Don't we have a world to be saving?"

Unalaq/Fake Aang then turned towards the now-scornful members of the tribe, saying, "Forgive these doubters! They merely do not see that our tribe is on the verge of reconciliation with the Spirits! Now, people of the village, prepare to pray for a new spiritual age and the defeat of the Fire Nation! I decree a day of fasting and meditation, even as I cleanse the shores of the South of the hated Fire Nation Raiders!"

The people of the Southern Water Tribe village cheered at that, not knowing they were signing up for their doom. Unalaq/Fake Aang turned to Siku and the others, his expression a mix of a gloat and a sneer, knowing that he had permanently destroyed the past with this intervention.

General Iroh had sensed that something was wrong and had hurried to the site of the column of purple light, finding a wounded and burnt Sky Bison whimpering on the snowy ground. Against his nephew's call to kill it, he ordered the crew's veterinarian to tend to its wounds; Sky Bisons were rare creatures, after all. Then he and Prince Zuko, the nephew in question, rushed over to track the footprints of the person who had been frozen in the iceberg, just the two of them, leaving their men behind as this was just that urgent.

They managed to reach the village and bust through the makeshift wall of snow, and all Iroh can do was look at Unalaq/Fake Aang and shout, his knowledge coming from both instinct and experience, [b][i]"Impostor!"[/i][/b]

Unalaq/Fake Aang began bending all four elements again, forming rings of air, water, earth, and fire around himself as he spoke, "Call me that again, old man, I dare you..."

Iroh was the only one who could realistically take on Fake Aang. But can he win, even with Zuko at his side? What can Siku do?
