A House Divided [Part 3]

[Instructions: Here.]

Despite a few tricks up their sleeves, the Conspirators hardly stood a chance. It's all or nothing as they make a few last ditch attempts to kill the Yeerk, and as the fight grinds to a screeching halt.

Will they kill the Yeerk?

Will someone other than the Yeerk get killed in the crossfire?

Katara facepalmed. It was like having Sokka around but with a detatched head! What she wouldn't give to hear what Toph would have said to that!

Instead, she gingerly put the pieces of the skull in her pouch. "Something tells me you kill at social gatherings."

"Heads do roll," he replied dryly.

"Oh boy."

Katara got the final skull piece, but there was a smile on her face.

"Let's get you to the hut."

"How shall my body be moved? Skeleton or no, I believe the armor would make it far too heavy to be carried by thee."

To answer his question, Katara waved her right hand in the air, and a geiser of water appeared from the crack on the floor, moving his body far quicker than Katara would have been able to carry it. She gave a secret smile.

"Just kids, yeah right," Katara muttered.

"I judge not what others are capable of, for I am in no position to judge. My own body serves only to remind me daily of the failures of my past."

Katara gave him a small smile. "Well, on this ship, it apparently means you can't do dangerous things like this. In my opinion, getting as many people involved on this ship never hurts."

"Perhaps. Or perhaps they merely feel that childhood is a time for being childish. Believe me, there is time enough in one's life to deal with the darkness and the things that lie within."

"I guess that makes . But they're forgetting something: the reason we're here in the first place is because Stacy wanted our abilities, and in our world, using those abilities were necessary. I can tell you that in my world, trying to stay like a child was a good way to get yourself killed."

"Yet here thou art. Thy world is not where thou remain, Milady Katara, and I've little doubt that these people only wish to see you enjoy what fleeting moments thou hast. I dare not even dream of being like thee again. I would settle for death."

What he said startled Katara a bit. "They can't make it so I can enjoy being a kid. That's not what I was brought here for. If it were, trust me, I'd be more than happy to enjoy the break."

They finally reached the hut. "There. Hopefully you can pull yourself together here."

Oh god. She was doing it too.

Khel's eyes turned up to glance at Katara, a single non-existent eyebrow arching incredulously. "That is hardly true. And I apologize again for the trouble, Milady; I did not intend to fall to pieces."

They could probably do this all day.

"I'll check on you later," she said. "I have to maker sure no one else is left injured out there."

"Very well. I shall endeavor to remain in this spot." Like he could go anywhere as he was.
