Separation of Benders

Me: Yay! New story!

Marik: Aw! I'm nowhere in the beginning of this one!

Me: Marik, it's a Yu-Gi-Oh and Avatar crossover. You'll be a fire-bender rogue.

Marik: Cool!

Me: Anyways, this is the other story from the poll.

Bakura: You have no knowledge of how to do this.

Me: I may not know how to progress this story, but I will try my best. The fight scenes might kill me though.

Yugi: Why?

Me: I can write fight scenes, but I can't write one with bending in it.

Seto: Are you looking for someone who can beta it for you?

Me: Well, I might start, but the fighting won't start for a couple of chapters.

Mokuba: Are you going to do some warnings?

Me: Oh yeah! Let me get to that.

Warning: Lemons, graphic fight scenes, blood, gore, and mpreg. If any of that bothers you, this isn't a story for you!

Me: Okay! Let's start!

Yami: uh, summary?

Me: Yeah! That too!

Summary: After the legends of Aang and Korra, and Yamoshi, Yugi, at only 6 years old, is chosen as the next avatar, born a Fire-bender. The colonies are now closer than ever, and though there was some confusion and betrayal during the legacy of the Earth born avatar, things are peaceful. Many people trust the avatar, and even though heard tales about fire-benders, they still put their trust in him. But, when a small 'mistake' in military messaging occurs, a water-bending and earth-bending capital get destroyed by the Fire Nation. Yami, a water-bender, blames Yugi and his family for everything, especially the death of Yami's father. Many nations who don't trust the Fire Nation begin to distance themselves and start new colonies away from the Fire Nation. Those who stay with the fire nation are called traitors. Yugi, after many years, only knows Fire-bending and Earth-bending, and Water-bending thanks to his friends Joey, Ryou and Tristan. But, as the spirit world grows out of hand and the other nations are at War, will Yugi be able to master all elements and stop it? Or will all the nations destroy each other? And, will Yugi and Yami ever learn the truth about the military mistake that cost Yami's parents their lives?

Me: Well, better get started! And just so you know, I decided to just do this one as well. The story idea and the stupid plot bunnies wouldn't leave me alone, so here it is!

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Everyone knows the legends of Avatar Aang, Korra, and the one after Korra, Yamoshi. When Yamoshi died, everyone knew that a new Avatar would be selected, one from the Fire Nation. But, there was slight fear in many people's hearts because of this. You see, during the reign of Avatar Aang, and also with Yamoshi, the Fire Nation was the main center of the problem. You would think that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, but, certain people in the Fire Nation have not had a change of heart since Aang and Korra.

Though all of this is true, the Fire Nation was given another chance when Yamoshi settled everything. They made many amends with the other Nations, and now, they all live in peace as they await the next Avatar.

But, peace is such a hard thing to obtain when there are still some stubborn and ignorant people in the world…

~New Omashu~

A young boy laughed as he threw another snowball and hit his intended mark. A cry of protest and a glare was his reward, but he laughed regardless. "Next time, pick a better hiding spot Yami," the boy laughed.

This boy's name was Yugi Motou, and he was six years old. He had star-shaped, tri-colored hair and pale skin, and pretty amethyst eyes. He had ebony hair that was traced in the same amethyst of his eyes, and cute blonde bangs that framed his cute cherubic face. He was small, a little smaller than average, but was a birth happy child.

Even if he was a fire-bender.

The other boy, Yami, shook snow out of his hair. "You cheated!"

Yami looked almost exactly like Yugi, except that he had crimson eyes and crimson tracing his hair instead of amethyst. His bangs shot up like lightning bolts into his hair, and he had a deep tan. He was also a couple inches taller than Yugi. He and Yugi had been friends since forever.

Yugi looked at Yami and shook his head. "Yami, how did I cheat?"

Yami walked over to him and tapped his nose. "I don't know, but you cheated."

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Yami, I can't cheat if you don't know how I cheated!"

"Yes you can."

"How?"

"I don't know, but you can."

Instead of retorting, Yugi threw another snowball at Yami. "Hey!" Yami shouted. He glared at Yugi before he smirked. "You're asking for it!" Yami ran at him with a ball of snow, but instead of throwing it, he shoved it down Yugi's coat. Yugi squealed and tried to get away from Yami, but tripped. Yami tried to grab him back, but he ended up falling, and both of them wen tumbling down a hill. When they finally stopped, Yami was lying on top of Yugi, and both were blushing. They stayed in that awkward position for a few moments before Yami finally spoke up. "Um, Yugi?"

"Yeah Yami?"

"I-I need to give you something."

Yugi's breath sped a little. He never understood why Yami made him feel the way he did. "What do you need to give me?"

Yami dug into his pocket and pulled something out. It was a round, light blue stone. The Water Tribe insignia was carved into it, but many elegant swirling patterns adorned the rest of the stone. It hung off a silver chain. "Yami! It's so pretty!"

Yami blushed harder as Yugi hugged him tight. When Yugi let go, Yami put the necklace on him. "Do you really like it?"

"I love it!"

Yami took a deep breath. "Good. I worked on it for weeks."

Yugi looked at him in shock. "You worked on this for me?"

"Yup!"

Yugi smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you Yami. I really love it."

"Good, but I want you to promise me something," Yami said seriously, ignoring the heat pooling in his cheek.

Yami didn't look at him, but kept glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. Yugi cutely cocked his head to the side. "What is it?"

"Yugi…that necklace is a marriage necklace. You give it to someone you love as a proposal."

"Yeah?"

"Yugi, when we get older…do you promise to marry me?"

"Sure Yami! I love you!"

"Y-You do?" Yami always knew he had a crush on the younger boy, but to know he loved him back was an added bonus.

"Of course I love you! You're my most favorite person in the whole wide world! But you have to promise me something?"

Yami looked at him with a determined look. "Anything for you Aibou."

Yugi giggled at his nickname. "Yami, if things were to get bad when we get older and you leave me, promise me that you won't love anyone else (Bakura: Oh you are just setting up the drama aren't you? Me: Bakura! Shut up! It's not like that!)."

Yami nodded and gave Yugi a crushing hug. "Of course I won't! No one will ever take your place in my heart!"

Yugi blushed bright red. "Yami, air."

Yami laughed nervously and let him go. "Sorry Yugi."

"It's okay!" Yugi said, smiling again.

~An hour later~

Yugi and Yami were watching TV inside Yugi's house, warming themselves after spending so much time outside. Both were under a large pillow fort they constructed, and were inside drinking hot chocolate. Yami thought he heard something outside in the distant, but ignored it and continued watching TV. The two were deeply into the show when Yugi's mom walked in, calling their names. They ignored her at first and kept watching the TV. Both boys whined as Yugi's mother stepped in front the TV. "Mommy! I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" Yugi and Yami had a habit of causing trouble when the other party was involved. His mother shook her head. "No sweetie, but there are some important people that are here, and we need to go to the city square to hear their announcement." Yugi and Yami both groaned and turned off the TV. "Fine," they muttered.

~City Square~

Yugi, Yami, and Yugi's mother all gathered with most other people from the city around the square where four men (A/N: I am so unsure about these four people, so I'm winging it) was standing on a podium. One man, a guy with a slim build and long silver hair with auburn eyes stepped forward. "People of New Omashu, we come here with great news! The next Avatar has been discovered and located!"

Many people gasped and began to chatter among them. The next Avatar? So quickly? People began to talk, some bragging about how the next Avatar was going to be them. The man held up his name for silence. "Yes, we have found the Avatar. We have located and tracked him to this city!"

The chatter began again, but the man wasn't going to stand for it and talked over them. "The next Avatar is a young boy in this city. Will Yugi Motou please come up here?"

People gasped and turned to look at the small boy. Yugi looked at Yami, who was staring at him in disbelief. "Yami?" The boy said nervously. Yami gave him a small smile. "I'll run up and protect you against anything if something happens." Yugi gave him a quick hug and ran through the crowd to the podium, but he just stood to the side. Another man, this one with long teal hair and one green and one gold eye, gave him a gentle smile. "Do not fear young one. We do not wish to harm you." Yugi somehow felt he could trust this man and stepped up beside him. The third man, one with graying black hair and cold black eyes, picked him up, making Yugi yelp, and put him on the podium. And finally, the fourth person, a female with deeply tanned skin and blue eyes, put her hand over her chest and bowed. "All hail Avatar Yugi!" She yelled. The other three men dropped to their knees in a bow, followed by many of the city folk. Yugi looked out at the people in awe. 'I'm the Avatar?' Yugi thought. 'I hope Yami doesn't hate me for this!'

~Yugi's House~

Yugi entered his house behind Yami, a little downcast. He was sure his best friend would hate him now. Yami was chatting away, but seemed to notice Yugi's unusual behavior. "Yugi? What's the matter?"

Yugi looked up at Yami with tears in his eyes. "Y-Yami? D-d-do you ha-(hiccup)-hate me now?"

Yami gasped and ran over to him, wrapping his arms around him. "Yugi! Why would I hate you?"

Yugi hiccupped again. "B-Because I'm the Avatar." He burst into tears again. Yami wiped his tears. "I don't hate you. I think it's cool that you're the Avatar. You can use any element now. I'm just a lousy water bender, but you'll be able to bend anything you want!"

Yugi gave a small, watery smile. "You think so?"

Yami nodded. "You'll be the best Avatar ever! And I'll be right by your side throughout the whole thing!"

Yugi's smile widened and he gave Yami a quick kiss on the lips, not thinking about what he did. "Thank you Yami! You're the best!"

Yami blushed and put a hand to his lips. 'Yugi kissed me…on the lips! Yes!'

~Fire Nation Military Base, the next week~

A man sat at a computer, typing away. His fingers flew over the keyboard as he wrote a message to another base out in the Fire Nation. 'Treaty has been finalized. Cease attack on Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom. Captain's Order.'

-Fire Nation Military Base, New Omashu.

He hit the send button, unaware of the bug that had infected his computer and sent the message to an unknown person. This person sat underground in an enclosed location, checking through all of the Gire Nation mail, searching for a letter that was about to change his life.

He read over the message and smirked. This was just what he needed to change his fate. He smiled and 'edited' the message, which he changed around by deleting and inputting words to his new game changing message.

~Fire Nation Base, Crescent Island, 20 minutes later~

Another man sat at his post, receiving mail that he had to sort: mail for troops and mail for the higher ups. His eyes widened as a letter marked with 'Important' flashed across his screen. He quickly read over the message before he printed it and ran to his captain.

"Captain! Captain! Urgent news!" he yelled as he ran into the meeting room. His captain stood up and narrowed his eyes. "You know better than to interrupt important meetings. What had you bursting in her like that?"

"Read this!"

The captain took the paper and quickly scanned it.

'Treaty has been declined. Commence attack on Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom. Captain's Orders.'

-Fire Nation Military Base, New Omashu.

The Captain's eyes widened. "I thought things were going well with the Treaty, but I guess not. Alright, get the troops ready. We'll start the attack in 0600 hours."

~Yugi's house~

Yugi sighed sadly. He hadn't seen Yami since his crowning a week ago, and he was really missing his best friend. He sighed. 'I miss him,' he thought sadly. He let a tear fall down his cheek. He was miserable without his friend and secret crush.

Suddenly, his mother rushed in and began darting around the house, closing blinds and locking all doors. "Mommy? What's wrong?"

His mother gave him a tired smile. "Nothing Yugi. I just need to make the house safe. Something bad is happening."

He gasped and ran to his mother. "Is Daddy going to be okay?" His mother nodded. "What about Yami? Can I call him?" Yugi asked innocently. His mother wanted to sink into the floor at his look and flinched, but she covered it up with a shaky smile. "He'll be okay Yugi. His mother told me so."

Yugi let out a sigh of relief.

~Two Weeks Later~

Yugi was happily building a snowman with his father outside. He was finally out of lockdown, and his dad had returned, and he was finally able to play outside. But, he was still sad that he wasn't able to see Yami. "Daddy? When can I see Yami?"

His dad looked at him, shocked at his sudden outburst. It was quickly replaced by sadness. "Yugi, I don't know how to tell you this but-"

"Hey! Yugi!" called a harsh voice.

Yugi gasped in shock, at hearing Yami after so long, so shocked that he didn't detect the coldness.

He ran to his friend and threw his arms around him. "Yami! I missed you!"

Yami roughly pushed Yugi off of him. "I don't care."

Yugi yelped as he hit the ground. "Yami? W-Why did you push me?" Yami had never been rough with him, hit him too hard, or pushed him. So why was he…?

Yami glared at him. "You are nothing but Fire Nation trash!"

Yugi made a small noise and felt tears fill his eyes. "Yami, what-"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS EVER FRIENDS WITH YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WANTED TO MARRY A WEAK, PATHETIC, USELESS, TRASHY AVATAR LIKE YOU!" Yami screamed at him. Yugi flinched and began to cry. Yami was ripping out his heart and stomping it into the dirt. "AND THERE YOU GO CRYING! YOU ALWAYS CRY LIKE THE WEAKLING YOU ARE! EVERY PERSON IN THE FIRE NATION IS NOTHING BUT TRAITORS, LIARS, AND MURDERERS! YOU WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING YUGI! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU OR EVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" He finished. Yugi's face was red as he sobbed his heart out. He couldn't believe Yami would say those things to him. "Y-Yami, I t-thought we were-"

"Friends?! I can't believe I let myself become friends with someone like you. You are nothing Yugi, and you never will be."

Yugi began to cry harder. His father walked over to him and picked him up. "You didn't have to say those things to Yugi."

Yami opened his mouth, but another voice beat him to it. "My son has the right to say what he wants to a murderer like you."

"Murderer? What are you talking about?"

"You Fire Nation scum are nothing but scum, liars, and killers."

"Amara, what are you talking about?"

"The Fire Nation invaded my home and killed my family, and many of my friends."

"Amara, are you talking about the invasion? We had every right to do as we did. The Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom didn't sign their part of the Treaty. We had to do as we were ordered."

Yami glared at him. "You killed my father. My tribe is moving to a faraway nation that accepted us. I never want to see Yugi again. I hate him and hope he dies!"

Yugi, who had almost calmed down, began to cry harder as Yami walked away, giving him one last glare. Yugi clutched his necklace Yami gave him. He couldn't believe his best friend would say those things, and couldn't believe that Yami would leave him like this.

He promised they would be friends forever.

~10 Years Later~

Yugi jumped into the air and spun as he launched blasts of air at his targets. He landed and slammed his foot into the ground, shooting up a rock ball and launching that at another target. He crouched down and fired off air blasts again, this time using them to propel himself upwards and began to twist, shooting thin columns of flame out of his feet. He landed on the ground and took a deep breath before shooting fire out of his mouth, burning the ground around him. He crossed his arms over his chest and pushed them out, sending off fire from one side and air from the other. Finally, he stopped and gave a bow. "How did I do?"

Dartz, Pegasus, Gozoburo, and Isis all smiled. "Very good Yugi-boy." Pegasus praised. "You have excelled well from a child with no prior knowledge of any of the other elements (A/N: Yes, the people named will all be good guys…except one. Cookies to whoever can guess who it might be!)."

Yugi had grown up since 10 years ago. He was still considered cute, but he had a well-toned body, albeit slim, from his many days of training. He face was still round and cherubic, his eyes were large, but they held more knowledge than most teens his age. He was about 5'2'' and still innocent, but he was stronger than most benders.

Yugi still wore the necklace Yami gave him 10 years ago, a symbol that he would track down his friend one day. He still wanted to know why Yami was so rude to him back when they were younger.

"Job well done Yugi," Dartz said. "You have mastered almost three of the four elements. You still have a little to learn with your Earth-bending."

"But," Isis said sadly, "You still have not progressed anywhere with your mastery Water-bending."

Yugi looked at the ground. He knew there was a chance he would never master Water-bending.

Many things had changed in 10 years. Many people from the Water Tribes and Earth Kingdoms had moved to outer islands and nations, away from the Fire Nation and Air Nomads. The Air-benders had known that something hadn't been right with the Military. They decided they could still trust the Fire Nation and helped the Avatar.

The two other nations thought that since the Avatar was born of the Fire Nation, they were all the more angry at them and refused to teach them much of anything. Some Earth-benders who still trusted the Air Nomads and Fire Nation stayed close to those colonies and those people had helped Yugi learn Earth-bending, and many Air Nomads were more than happy to help Yugi.

Yugi gave a small sigh. "How can I be the greatest Avatar I can be if I'm not all the way there?"

Isis gave him a sympathetic smile. "That is a trial you must overcome. We can help guide you down that path."

Pegasus nodded. "For now, let's end today's session."

Yugi nodded and got his gear together to leave for the day.

"Hey! Yug'!"

"Yugi! Over here!"

Yugi turned and smiled at his best friends and Earth-benders: Tristan and Joey. A third friend, Ryou, was trailing behind them.

Yugi met Ryou at school when he was younger. Ryou was just as shy as Yugi was, and was often picked on. Yugi didn't like this and used his authority as Avatar to stop them. Many of those kids and their parents did nothing but kiss up, so Yugi was easily able to stop them from picking on Ryou. Needless to say, Ryou was really grateful and looked past Yugi being Avatar and became his friend. Ryou was an Air Nomad and taught Yugi just about everything he knew. Ryou had grown up around Yugi and Yugi found it better to have someone his age teach him, because Ryou was patient with him and taught him at a pace Yugi was okay with. Ryou had promised to help Yugi in any way he could. Yugi told Ryou that he would take him around the world with him when he went to find Water-benders and explore around the world. Ryou was more than happy to accept.

Joey and Tristan were really tough Earth-benders that Yugi met when he was finally ready to learn Earth-bending. He was just as good as Ryou was with Air-bending (and Ryou was a prodigy) and had tried as hard as he could; he tried to learn it, but was lost without a teacher. Joey had been a champion Earth-bender in an exhibition type match that happened every week. He was underage and wasn't allowed, but lied about his age to pay off his father's drinking debts. Joey was a bully to both Yugi and Ryou; he often picked on him even if Yugi was the Avatar. But, his father was a kiss-up and punished Joey for disrespecting the Avatar.

Yugi didn't like this.

Yugi reported Joey's father, and as it turns out, Joey's father was abusive towards him and his little sister. Joey had too much pride and tried to handle things himself, but couldn't and ended up getting beat by his father. He never stopped thanking Yugi to this day.

Tristan was like second best to Joey. His Earth-bending was just as good as Joey's and was just as skilled with it. Tristan was a little kinder to Yugi, but he still bullied him. One day, Yugi took a massive beating for Tristan. The kid didn't know Yugi was the Avatar. He and his family got banished because of it. Tristan realized that Yugi was a good friend deep down.

Yugi had promised all three of them that when he traveled the world to master the last elements, he would take them with him.

Yugi smiled and jogged up to the three. "How's your training going Yugi?" Ryou asked. Yugi gave a small smile. "I could use some work on my Earth-bending, and I still have no control of Water-bending," he said, a hint of sadness lacing his voice. Joey wrapped him in a hug. "Don't worry Yugi. You'll get it one day (A/N: I am not so good at doing Joey's accent (even though I am from Brooklyn and have one myself) so Joey's dialogue is just dialogue. Imagine him saying his lines in his accent.)." Joey said softly. "It'll just take some more time for those other Nations to trust us."

"Yeah!" Tristan agreed. "Maybe they do trust the Avatar and are too scared to admit it!"

'Yeah,' Yugi thought. 'Maybe.' Out loud, he replied, "Yeah! I just have to wait for Isis, Dartz, Pegasus, and Gozoburo approve of me travelling the world, and maybe I can do something good and set the nations right."

"That's the spirit!" Ryou said, smiling at him. "And when they do, I have a way to get you around the world."

"Really?" Yugi said, titling his head cutely(A/N: I know I use the words 'cute' with 'Yugi' but everyone knows that he's adorable!) "How?"

Ryou just smiled. "I have a Sky Bison."

"What?!" The other three looked at him in shock. Ryou just stared back. "What? Almost all Air Nomads have them. Her name is Amme. She's been with me since I was little. She can handle long distance flights." Ryou explained. Yugi looked at him in shock. "Can you really take me around the world on her?"

Ryou nodded. "I haven't exactly taken her past the old Water-Tribe Island, but she's flown around Crescent Island about 10 times straight."

Tristan whistled. "That's a pretty big island. She must be a strong bison to fly that distance."

Ryou nodded. "She's the toughest bison out of all of them. She's actually a direct descendant from Appa, Avatar Aang's bison."

"That's impressive Ryou," Yugi said sincerely.

"Thank you." Ryou thought for a minute. "When do you think we should go?"

Yugi was silent for a moment. "I think we'll be able to go in about three days. I think everything should be alright by then."

Everyone put their hands together. "This is gonna be great!" Yugi cheered.

And he was really happy. His friends would be with him for the ride.

It'd be better if his very best friend could be there as well.

~Three Days Later~

Yugi strapped his gear onto the saddle Amme was carrying them on. He was officially approved for flight, and was able to travel with his friends around the world, helping as the Avatar where he could. He was saddened though; he really didn't want to leave his family behind.

"Yugi!" A voice said. Yugi turned in time to have a small bundle jump into his arms, another one following a little slower. Yugi looked down at his little sister, Mana, who jumped into his arms (A/N: who saw that coming?). Mana had tears in her eyes. "Big brother! I don't want you to go!" Mana cried.

Behind her, the other bundle nodded. "You can't leave us!" That one was Mahado.

Mana had long ebony hair that spiked up oddly, with blonde bangs like Yugi's. She had their mother's brown eyes. She had a limitless supply of energy, which shocked everyone, and she loved to jump on people when they weren't expecting it. Mana was only 6 years old, and she didn't want her older brother to leave so soon.

Mahado was the same age as Mana, but he was calmer. He had the brown hair that their father had, and it flowed to his shoulder. He also had blue eyes. Mahado was really quiet and loved books. Though he knew Yugi needed to do it, Mahado didn't want Yugi to leave either.

Yugi looked down at Mana and Mahado. He couldn't help but tear up. "I know I shouldn't go, but I have to. There so much stuff I need to solve and learn as the Avatar."

"But you promised you'd teach us fire-bending!" Mana whined.

Yugi chuckled. "Mana, have grandfather or father teach you fire-bending. I'll teach you when you get back."

"But big brother," Mahado whined, "they don't teach us like you do!"

Yugi laughed. "Don't worry. I'll teach you what they don't when I get back."

"What if you don't come back?!"

Yugi became quiet. That was something he didn't want to think about, and he never wanted to know what could happen and who he could leave behind if he was killed or captured or died.

But, before he could talk, an older voice spoke up. "Mana! Don't think badly of your brother. You know he would do everything in his power to come back to us whenever he can!"

Yugi smiled as his grandfather approached him with something in his hands.

Solomon Sugoroku Motou was an older gentleman with the same spikey hair that Yugi had, although he usually wore a bandana. He looked just like Yugi, except he had violet, plum colored eyes and slightly tanned skin. He, along with Yugi's father, was one of the ones who taught Yugi just about everything he knew about fire-bending.

Solomon walked up to Yugi and held something out. "I think you will need this on your journey my boy," he said softly. Yugi took it and opened it up.

It was a small animal in a kennel. Its body was all furry and brown, and he had large purple eyes. It also had green hands and feet (paws?) with three yellow claws on each one. It stared up at Yugi with large, innocent eyes. This was called a Kuriboh, a spirit animal that was very sweet when it didn't get angered.

Yugi gasped. "You're giving me my own Spirit Animal?"

Solomon nodded. "If you're going to do this, do it right my boy. It is time you learned to take care of yourself, your friends, and your Nation. I know you will care for him well."

Kuriboh slowly peeked out of it kennel and sniffed at Yugi. Yugi smiled at it and stroked it fur. Kuriboh purred and began flying around Yugi. He laughed and grabbed the thing between his hands. "Thank you Grandfather. I'll care for it well."

His Grandpa nodded. "I know you'll make your family and Nation proud."

Yugi began boarding Amme. "I can only try to do my best."

Ryou got in the front. "IS everyone ready?"

Joey and Tristan tied down the rest of their stuff and nodded. Yugi took one last look at his family, mainly Mana and Mahado, and let a tear escape. He didn't want to leave, but he knew he had to. Things had gotten bad over the years, and Yugi was determined to make it right, not only with his old friend, but with the other nations, and the world.

Yugi gave one small final wave and slid down beside Ryou. "Let's go," he murmured softly. Ryou nodded and grabbed Amme's reins. "Yip yip Amme."

Amme gave a small roar and flapped her tail, taking to the air. Yugi grabbed Ryou as Amme ascended into the air and began flying to the coastline of New Omashu. When she finally broke the boarder, Yugi turned around to get one last look at his homeland.

There was no time for regrets.

There was no time for tears.

There was no time for backing out.

There was only time for destiny.

And his destiny was mastering all four elements and making things right with the world.

Yugi pulled out his map and a pen, circling certain islands and cities. He would begin by going to those. And maybe, just maybe, he would be able to find his best friend and secret love Yami somewhere on those islands.

Yugi looked back up and set his eyes on the first island, the Island of Bordered Ba Sing Se.

He would start there and hopefully regain the trust in the people who hated the Avatar. He knew that would be the first step, and the second would be learning and mastering Water-bending.

It was his destiny as the Avatar.

Me: There! Finished!

Bakura: Why?

Me: Huh?

Bakura: Why do you always make chapters like this and just leave us and don't update.

Me: Well, I have a good reason.

Seto: Humor us.

Me: Well, this story was third place in the poll, but I wanted a teaser out just in case people wanted something different. And, I really didn't know how to start Finding My Light.

Yami: Shouldt you be updating…

Me: I know! I know! I just…(don't kill me) have a bad case of writers block. I had it, but then I lost it.

Cast: *silence*

Me: Guys?

Yugi: Since I'm not one to yell at you or get mad, im gonna take a couple steps back.

Ryou: Same here.

Serenity: And here

Mokuba: And here.

Me: What're you guys-

CAST: ARE YOU MAD WOMAN?!

Me: I'm sorry!

Marik: How are you gonna make a kick ass story like what you did , leave us with cliffhangers galore, and then leave us with another one you're not even close to finishing?!

Bakura: I thought you were getting that out!

Me: Blame my computer! It randomly shuts down on my and I lose everything!

Seto: That's no excuse!

Me: How is that not a plausible reason?!

Yami: You need to get that fixed!

Me: Why are you all yelling at me?!

Bakura: You deserve it!

Me: Look, I'm putting up the winner of the poll the same time I'm putting this up!

Yami: That kind of makes up for it.

Me: Thank you. Now, I need my readers to do something. In a review, I need you to do something for me. Tell me:

Did you like this story?

Was something wrong or confusing?

Was something off in the Avatar world?

Do you think I should continue this?
