[Creation of Flag.]
Swoosh!
A majestic white eagle swooped down from the sky. Its wings are tucked in to help it descend and increase its speed to cut through air resistance that would otherwise hold it back.
The Snow white Eagle shot down towards the water like a rocket, leaving behind an afterimage with its speed. With a loud cry, the Eagle spread its talons out, plunging into the water and stabbing its sharp, gleaming claws into the side of an unsuspecting fish.
Splash!
Water was displaced as the Eagle flapped its wings, flying back up into the air with its prey stuck between its sharp talons, struggling and flapping around. Trying to get out of the death hold, only to fail its attempt as it went still.
Sitting on the shore, Zuko watched all this with sudden inspiration. His eyes glowed with excitement as the image for his banner finally appeared in his mind.
He will make an Eagle the image of his Rebellion Force!
"This could bring new hope to the country. Especially if I make this the new official Flag. It will not associate with the past Fire Nation..." Zuko muttered as he turned towards a white flag on the ground, carefully laid out.
Crackle~
Crackling flames appeared in the air as a soft glow condensed between Zuko's palms. Steam erupts from his nose like a dragon, and Zuko starts to shape the crackling flame into the shape he envisioned.
The soft glow of the fire dimmed considerably as its burning temperature cooled. And Zuko controlled the newly taken shape to be pressed against the white Flag.
Instead of just burning the cloth, the low-temperature fire acted as a chalk brush. It started by brushing the shape into the material and burning a thin layer into the fabric.
Of course, Zuko leaves the other parts untouched and does not set the Flag on fire. A few seconds later, Zuko made the flames vanish, leaving only a white Flag.
It had a black, charcoal-like shape burned onto it, very detailed.
"Awesome... This will definitely bring hope of revitalising our country from the father's tyranny. It will be the new hope, a goal to step aside and leave our bloody past behind." Zuko muttered to himself, his eyes bright with expectations as he clenched his fists.
Burned on the Flag, an Eagle with its wings spread. Its talons opened, clamping around the tail of a dragon, which coiled around its body, and its mouth clamped around the Eagle's neck.
[First partner to join the Force.]
"I would like to post a bounty on someone," Zuko, wearing a blue ghost mask and two swords strapped to his back, said. His voice was deeper than usual due to the mask as he spoke to a bounty-hunting organisation.
"Information, Bounty, and Time," The man in front of Zuko, wearing plain black clothes with red ascents, spoke in a neutral tone. Not talking much in this business was a good thing; it was less likely to offend or spread information.
"The target is Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. The bounty is 1 Gold Piece Ban and 5 Silver Piece Ban. He is hiding in an area around the north side of the shore. I want his head in 3 days," Zuko, pretending to be the Blue Ghost, spoke, and the man before him nodded.
The man taking the bounty was, of course, from the Fire Nation. But he did not care about Zuko being hunted down. He was exiled by the Fire Lord and could be a threat to their country if left alive.
So he was okay with a bounty order.
"I will contact you with a Pigeon when it's finished," The Bounty Waiter spoke, and Zuko nodded his head nonchalantly. Slightly disappointed at how his status was with the Fire Nation. He turned to walk, his legs feeling like they were filled with heavy lead.
It seems he was really not liked... Huh.
3 days later...
Stomp!
The ground trembled as June rode her Shirshu, Nyla. The stones under Nyla's heavy paws cracked open, her tognue flicking out into the air, tasting the smell of blood and burned flesh from around the corner of the cliff.
"Hmm, it seems that some other bounty hunters managed to arrive before me... Such a pain, I had to come here all the way from the Earth Kingdom," June narrowed her eyes in caution as she made Nyla keep walking.
"Though I am not here to cash in his bounty anyway. I quite like Uncle Iorh and his tea after all~," June chcukled to herself as she rubbed Nyla's back, eliciting a growl of pleasure from Nyla.
Boom!
A massive blast of flames shot towards a bounty hunter behind the cliff. The flame created a shockwave that cracked the ground. The explosion of the blaze is expanding in a Fan-shaped area.
"ARGHHHH!" The bounty hunter let out a blood-curdling scream, as his cltohjes scattered as ash. His skin tightened, then cracked and melted onto his muscles, which quickly liquefied into his bones.
His blood evaporated inside his body from the heat. Blood coloured steam erupted from his body. Colouring his hair red and causing a golden crack to appear around his body, he died in seconds from the heat and massive area of effect.
Vrooop!
A weird sound chugged as the flames continued blasting forward, hitting the cliff corner with such strength that it shook the entire cliffside. The stone heated up, then began to melt before the flames vanished after a few seconds, leaving destruction.
June and Nyla shivered at the sight as Zuko appeared behind the wall of flames. His eyes glowed an orange colour, and his face was overshadowed. His robe fluttered in the wind, and steam erupted from his mouth, sending a chill down the spines of the two.
"Oh, good. You came. I was starting to think I have to give this plan up." Zuko's voice. Different from his current vision, he started June and Nyla out of their chill, and they watched as a normal-looking Zuko stepped through the smoke.
"Zuko, why do you have a bounty of that magnitude on your head?... Wait, never mind that. From that attack just now, I can see why," June spoke as she jumped off Nyla's back, landing in front of Zuko without struggle.
"June, I want to talk to you about the Rebellion Force," Zuko spoke, and June raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Rebellion Force? What is this, a rebellion started by the countries under attack from the Fire Nation?" June racked her brain before shrugging, the name not ringing a bell in her head.
"No, it's an armed force I plan to gather to fight back against my father, defeat him, and those corrupted officials and generals, and bring back peace to the Fire Nation and the world," Zuko spoke with confidence in himself and his goals, his bright eyes narrowing with never-before-seen confidence.
June stumbled back in surprise, her eyes locking with Zuko's fierce and confident gaze. A shiver, the good kind, shot down her spine, before she grinned.
"I agree~," June replied.

My boy Zuko is gonna get a two-in-one deal, trust. By the way, I think everyone realised that I made every character in Avatar stronger than they were supposed to. I did that because I have a plan with something called Harmonic Convergence.
Leave a power stone!
