Chapter 69: He's Gone

Ash stood wide-eyed. The word "Firebender" repeated over and over in his mind. A Firebender? Right here? Right now?
"Don't just stand there, let's go!" Stone growled, and she ran out.
"Grumpy one," commented Darner, and he took off after her.
Ash followed, running as fast as he could. He could scent Airia, Rusty and Charlotte behind him.
Stone and Darner stopped, side by side. They looked at all the Waterbenders, most of them attempting to put out a fire.
"What happened here?" demanded Darner.
"Fang," sighed Bluefall, "he came in, but before we could attack him, he set the area on fire." Bluefall made some water appear in the air, and she Bended it onto the fire, "when the smoke cleared, he was gone."
"Evil Firebenders," muttered Darner.
"We're here to help, we'll stop those Firebenders," Stone promised.
"Oh boy," Rusty whispered. Ash turned around to see Rusty behind him, who was rolling his eyes. Ash laughed a bit.
"I'll help out," nodded Creature. He Bended some water and threw it onto an area of flames.
"I would, but I haven't trained," sighed Ash.
Waterstreak flew up to Ash. "If it's okay with your patrol leader... Do you want to train with me?"

Author's Note:
Training with a master Waterbender? Oooh!
And whadda you think? StoneXDarner? xD
