CMDR JoKer also made stops at some of the abandoned Project Dynasty deep space outposts in the Rift, as well as the gorgeous Heart & Soul Nebulae.

“Some people believe that The Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads, and that the cycle is broken.

“But I haven’t lost hope. I still believe that somehow The Avatar will return to save the world.”

Love is a battlefield

Summary: A few years after they end the war, Zuko is forced to choose a wife.

Rating: K

Relationships: Katara/Zuko

Characters: Zuko, Iroh, Katara

For the Zutara month day three: Season 4 Zutara

When Zuko and Mai eventually break up, his council decides that he will have to accept a bride of their choosing, he’s twenty after all, and he’s already two times over due to marry a worthy woman to produce an heir for their nation,

“I am not a bargaining chip nor a stud for you to use!” exclaims Zuko in outrage, furiously standing up off his seat as he hears his councilmen speculate about the perfect prospects for a future wife for him. “I am your Fire Lord!”

“And as our Fire Lord you have a duty with your people,” Counters one of his councilmen, “Our nation deserves the stability that comes with an heir, moreover, the duties of our Fire Lady had been sorely neglected for years under yours and your father’s reign.” 

This is true. Historically, the Fire Lady works alongside the Fire Lord, listening to the people, bringing social stability and opening several charities to help those most in need. But without Ursa and with Mai not willing to step on this responsibility, those task just hadn't been done.

Bringing up his father and comparing Zuko to him it’s all they need to break Zuko’s spirit. He falls on his seat with resignation, resting his forehead on both of his hands, sighing.

His uncle Iroh, having earned his seat on the council by principle alone of being himself, and knowing his dear nephew all too well, stands up. An idea already forming on his head.

“Then I recommend we employ the methods our forefathers used to choose their Fire Ladies before.” He proposes in a tone of voice that suggests he’s not really leaving this up to discussion. “Each one of us, councilmen will choose a woman we believe worthy of being our Fire Lady,” He explains, smiling as his beloved nephew frowns at him with a betrayed expression on his face. “Then Zuko will fight her to decide who shall be his wife, his true equal.” The room falls completely silent and he smirks to himself. “Or are you afraid that whatever woman you choose for our Fire Lord is not strong enough to face him nor accompany him in battle?”

After that the whole room agrees, even Zuko looks at him with contemplation, his dear nephew should know to trust him more.

“Who are you choosing, uncle?” Asks Zuko as soon as they leave the room.

“It’s no use waiting for your ship to come in, unless you’ve sent one out.” Smiles Iroh enigmatically. Zuko just groans and leaves him alone in response, his now longer hair swinging with the movement of his shoulders.

As the week progresses, Zuko fights and wins over every woman his councilmen throw at him without much effort. He tries to be merciful with them, because, no one deserves the humiliation he lived as a teenager, after all. But he’s not willing to give anyone of them any chances.

At the end of the month, after he’s defeated every prospect, the only woman that remains is his uncle’s choice.

As soon as Zuko enters the arena for his final battle he opens his palms and allows bright bursts of fire to fall from his hands, trying to intimidate his opponent from the start, only to find one of the only women in the four nations who would never be intimidated by him. His old friend Katara standing at the center of the arena with a canteen full of water resting on her hip and winning smirk dancing on her beautiful face. 

The Fire Lord can’t help but smirk back. He never could win against Katara.

“But a few days later, those two were instructed to be expelled. A teacher happened to see that, somehow.”

At last, found the derelict megaship 'The Zurara'...

This advanced megaship and her large crew was sent out into the far unexplored reaches of the Formidine Rift to set beacons in orbit of Earth-like worlds and seed some terraformable worlds with bio-filters...

The moment their mission was completed, the cargo handlers on board 'snapped', sabotaging the main reactor and then taking a drug called 'Hexedit' that first kills their memories and then kills them... It appears these saboteurs were mentally conditioned to carry out this task; someone was behind this tragedy, and this ship and her crew was never meant to return...

All that is left of the crew are void-frozen cadavers
