Brother

Our swords clash and we begin to fight. They are like two blurs of color clashing with red and black steel. Ren and Nora watch ready to step in for Andy. There's a bright flash but neither of the combatants notice it. Five people come out from the bright flash and Ren and Nora look at each other. You keep an eye on Andy. Ren says. He goes over to the group. The eldest bows to Ren and says I am Zuko he says. We ...we came here looking for someone he says. Who? Ren asks. He turns and glances over to Adam and Andy. Zuko gasps when he sees Andy's face. Andy? Ren says. No my mother Zuko says. Ren's eyes widen. Uh..he says. Do you know where she would be? Aang can't you see what's going on here? A teen in blue says he pulls out a black sword. I think there's a battle going on. It does seem that way Zuko says. They look back over to the fight and their eyes widen at what they see.


I back him into a corner and he says well what's it going to- I hit him in the head with my staff. Then I kick him in the ribs. Andy raises her staff and a hand on her shoulder stops her. He isn't worth it. Ren says. You're not him. He says. Come on I think you should meet someone. What about him? We can't just leave him here. Yes you can. Come on Andy there's someone asking about your mother. My mother? Andy says. Yes Ren says softly. He guides Andy over to where there is five people standing. Andy's eyes wash over the small group. Then she turns to Ren and says where's Yang? Nora has her I think they're going to get her into the he city for medical help. Andy nods. Jerk ass she mumbles. Andy...Ren says as Andy's eyes glow slightly. He puts a hand on her shoulder. I..I'm ok she says. She folds her weapon and she says who was asking about my mother? Me. Andy's eyes widen slightly as she faintly remembers seeing a drawing of this boy....minus the scar. Ok...Andy says. I..my name is Andy. I am Zuko he says. I...I think I'm you're brother he says. Andy's eyes widen. Uh..her eyes widen. Ruby! What?! Ren says. Andy suddenly runs out of the building and everyone follows her. Andy looks up at the tower and whispers I'm too late. She takes out her sword and says get around me! No one questions her and she creates a dome around their small group and they all see a bright flash of light pass over them and after a moment Andy lets the force field down. She used her eyes Andy says. She...no! We need to find Qrow. Andy says. Find me for what? Andy spins around. She's at the top of the tower. He nods to Andy and says meet me at the air ships in ten minutes..bring your new friends he says. Andy nods and she says come I'll take you there. What just happened?! The smallest one asks. I..it's hard to explain. What do you mean she used her eyes? The girl in green asks. I..well..hey are you ok? A girl in blue asks her. You asked about my mother Andy says. My mother the teen says your...Andy shakes her head and turns to Ren. Go and find Jaune and Nora. He nods. Will you be...I think I'll be alright. He nods. Take care he says putting a hand on my shoulder. See you soon Ren. He nods and runs off to find his teammates. Leo and Dove run over to me near the airships. Andy! Andy! Her dad he took her! She's gone! He just took her! Ok slow down who? Weiss! Andy curses. No! Andy says. She sighs. At least she'll be in atlas. That's where he General will be and ...her sister. You guys should go home Andy says. But we want to help. Do you all have a family? Yes but- then go. Andy says. Go and spend time with your family. If I need your help I'll find a way to contact - they both hug her at he same time. Then dove plants a kiss on Andy's cheek. She turns bright pink. Dove I- he says I had to do that I'm sorry no...I..liked it. Andy says still blushing. She shakes her head. Now go and find your families ...Dove takes her hand. I'll...write he says. I'm staying with Ruby. I know her address he says. He and Leo run off. Andy shakes her head and she continues to the air ships. Qrow is waiting with Ruby in his arms yang is being held by Blake and Nora and Ren are there too. Everyone in Qrow says. They go into the airship and go into the city. In the city yang gets her arm bound up and then Andy watches as Blake takes off. Blake! Blake! Wait! She catches up to her. Blake! I'm going to find my family she says. I..I can't be here anymore. You dad is here I say I know she says I've got to find him. She says. I watch her leave and I go back to where we're getting a private flight to Ruby's house. Everything ok? Andy sits on one of the cushioned benches. She glances over at Ruby. She's going to be ok kiddo. Now who are your new friends? I...actually I might be her brother. Zuko says. Brother? Qrow says. Really? Yes. My friends and I we came here looking for my mother we just ...came through where Andy and her friends were at the time. Andy pulls a locket out of her shirt. She opens it. Is she your mother? Zuko picks up the locket and his eyes widen. That's ..a really clear painting. It's a digital photo. Andy says. She closes it and puts it back into her shirt. Is she your mother? Yes. Zuko says. Andy puts her head in her hands. An..Andy? Andy stands up and goes to look out the window. Qrow says something but she doesn't hear. As the air ship lands Andy runs off to the barn and with a look to his friends Zuko goes after her he finds her sobbing in the barn loft. Andy? Zuko says. He sees that she's curled up like a fox cat and even has a tail and ears to match. He climbs up and sits away from her giving her space. Andy what happened? Andy sits up. She wraps her arms around her legs. I'm sorry she says I couldn't save her. Please just tell me what happened. Andy looks into Zuko's golden eyes with her silver ones. Adam happened. Andy says. I was only three at the time. I..was playing outside when I heard screaming and Adam was coming out of the house. I heard her screaming and I tried to get past him but..he threw a fire cystral at the house and lit it with one shot. The house exploded. Andy says. Not only did I lose my parents I lost everything. Everything went white and I woke up with my older brother standing over me. He grinned and kept his boot on my chest holding me down. When I could move he said you do as I say and you live. Andy isn't looking at Zuko as she says this. I was nine years old before I got free of him. The lady in your locket is my mother he says. So..that means we're brother and sister he says. I...I know our other brother isn't ...I want you to know I am here for you he says. He gently takes my hand and I look up at him. Want to go back to the house? Andy nods and she follows Zuko to the house still holding his hand. Andy sits on the couch and pulls out the small disk and puts it onto her scroll. What's up kid? Qrow asks. My..my mother told me that if someone named Zuko came looking for her that I should show him this she says. She sets the scroll and disk on the table and it holographically forms into a screen. Zuko gasps as his mother comes onto the screen and behind him is a man and he has ears like Andy's and a tail.


Zuko my darling if you are seeing this then that means that I..that I have been killed she says. If you are seeing this it means that Andy has found you or you have found her. I..she's only three Ursa. She's an intelligent child! Mommy? Oh hello darling! Say hello to Zuko. A small version of Andy looks around her eyes are glittering on the screen as she grins and says hello oko! She giggles and Ursa says show your big brother your fire. Fire! She says and she cups her hands and creates an image of a turtle duck. What is it darling? A urtle uk! She says. Ursa hands the child to the man sitting next to her. This is a message I need to say to Andy. Andy looks up. Andy darling. I..she sighs. I need you to know that when I died something passed from me to you ...and there's something a lot of very bad people will be after and it is not here in remnant. She says. Qrow looks up when she says this. Ursa sighs. I'm sorry Zuko I had to come back here. I just wanted to protect people. She says. I thought I could do it in the fire nation but I was wrong. A man found me and introduced me to my husband Zuon and we had two children. Adam and Andy. She says. I did go back one more time before I left she says. If I had stayed I don't know what your farther would've done she says. She sighs. When...I was the summer maiden she says finally when I died that power passed to you Andy. I hid our- your relic in the fire nation she says. It is more protected there she says. It's ...she takes a breath I hid it in the avatar chamber. She says.  Fire sage name Shyu can tell you more I only trusted him. Know that I love you both. And tell Azula I love her. And Adam. She says. My farther looks up. I love you Andy he says. Then the screen goes black.
