Hello! You've just clicked on the first episode of Book 4!
If you're someone who's never read my stuff before, then welcome!
I, n4m4w45, am a complete fan of fiction, and I strive to give more of the shows we love!
I am currently working on the 6th season of Teen Titans, and the 3rd season of Spectacular Spider-Man.
Welcome to my works, and thank you for reading!
If you are a usual reader, then thank you for continuing to read my takes on your favorite shows, and I hope I continue to satisfy you all!
Just want to get a few things straight:
I do not take any continuity with The Legend of Korra.
I know nearly nothing about the show, so any glitches with continuity there, just forget about it.
These ideas came to me before I even knew The Legend of Korra existed.
Okay! Now, let's get this show on the road!
…
Water. Earth Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony, but then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them.
But then, just when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar.
An airbender named Aang.
We traveled with him across the world, as he learned to bend the other three elements.
On the way, we met an Earthbender named Toph,
and the Fire Prince named Zuko.
Together, the five of us worked together to end the war,
and Aang became the Avatar!
...
"Aang, will you teach me the air scooter now?"
"Yeah, me too!"
"Oh, and me three!"
"Okay, okay! Calm down guys! I'll show you all at once!" Aang took the formation to create his trademark technique. "First, you gotta make sure you have control of the air within your hands. Then, you jump, twist around it...and balance! See?" Aang had done it once again, perfectly.
One of the kids tried it out, and he fell on his butt. "Oh..." The kid got discouraged.
"That's all right, Ayden. You'll get it." Aang helped him up, and waved good-bye to his students.
"Bye, Avatar Aang! Thank you!"
Aand sighed, contentedly. Things had been going great for the past two years. He was no longer the last airbender, for one thing. He figured out how to use soul-bending (he decided to call the technique he learned from the lion-turtle soul-bending,) to not only take away bending, but to give it as well. He chose a few hundred people, each of which he, himself., personally interviewed, to be the next generation of airbenders. Aang firmly believed that every single one of them was qualified, as soon as they had experienced enough spirituality.
As for the world in general, it had no major problems. People sent him messages when they needed him, and, considering he was only a fifteen-year-old, he dealt with each problem exceptionally well.
Of course, he was not alone. Aang's now-best-buddy Zuko was Fire Lord, the Earth King had since returned to the thrown, the Northern Water chief took responsibility for all of the Water tribes, and Aang had chosen a man named Tenson as the head abbot of the Air Temples.
Also, in Aang's personal life...well, there was really only one word for it. Katara. Katara, Katara, Katara. Katara was the only thing that entered his mind when he had free time. In fact, he chose to reside completely in the Southern Temple, just so he could be nearer to her. Sure, at times it was awkward, what with the age and all, but the two deeply loved each other, and nothing can really affect a love like that!
Yep, things were pretty perfect for this Avatar's life. What it really needed though, much to Aang's dissapointment, was a little change!
…
"Come on, Appa! Yip-Yip!" Aang's spirits lifted once again as his beloved sky-bison went air-born. Appa has since started to show his age, but Aang knew that Appa would not die, until he did, and Aang did not plan to die any time soon.
Momo traveled up Aang's arm, and onto his head, which would have at least startled any one else, but Aang was so used to it, he hardly noticed the lemur was there!
Today was the day when Aang went "home" to the Southern water tribe for two days to visit Katara. He could hardly wait to see his girl-friend again, and he knew that she couldn't wait to see him.
"Man, things are really looking up for the better, eh, Appa?" Aang sighed, fell down to the bottom of the saddle, and closed his eyes. Appa knew where he was going.
…
Appa landed at the edge of the Southern Water Tribe, which was bigger than the first time Aang and Appa were here. Since then, its expanded to that of a small town.
When Momo woke Aang up to tell him that they were there, Aang jumped out of the saddle, and hugged the first person around, expecting it to be Katara.
"Katara! I missed you so much! How are you? What's for dinner? I hope we're not having sea-prunes again!" When there was no answer, Aang looked up to see what was wrong.
"And what's wrong with Sea-prunes?"
"Gaah!" Aang jumped back. "Master Paku!" Aang quickly bowed to his previous master.
"Oh, get up, Aang. You don't need to bow to me anymore!" Paku smiled at Aang's unneeded manners. "Ha! I should be the one bowing to you!" And so he did.
"Paku, where's Katara? I'm not late today, she's usually here waiting for me...?" Aang said, confused, and a little sad.
"Well, that's why I'm here, Aang. Katara told me to come and tell you that she got stuck doing a few extra chores today,"
"Oh, is Sokka still gone?" Paku and Aang started to walk into the Tribe. Momo followed, but Appa closed its eyes and began to take a nap.
"Yes, I'm afraid Zuko has not yet returned," Paku sighed. Somehow, he missed Sokka. But he wouldn't admit it.
"Huh. I wonder why Zuko would pick Sokka and Suki to watch over the Fire Nation while he was away?" The two turned a corner. They would be at Katara's house soon!
"I'm still not sure of the choice myself, but Katara and Toph both need to teach the benders in selective areas, as do you, and his uncle has since retired from all things royal, so..."
"Yeah, I guess so. Besides, Sokka's a good leader, when it comes down to it!" Aang was telling the truth, but Paku silently shook his head.
"...Anyway, when do you think Zuko will return? He's been absent from his thrown for six months now!" Paku was concerned. First there was a Nation that wanted to rule the world, now it was a nation who's leader wasn't even in its own nation!
"I don't know Paku," Aang and Paku came onto the street Katara's was on. "He said he was going to find his mom, and when he says something, he gets it done." They arrived. Aang bowed to his former-teacher, "Guess I'll see you later, Paku!"
Paku returned the bow, "Very well, Avatar Aang. Good day!"
As Aang went inside, he thought, He's really mellowed out, lately!
"Oh!" Paku called back. "And I expect you to perform the most fluent water bending styles tomorrow in my lesson, Avatar!" Paku laughed.
"Sigh...you got it, Master Paku!" Aang said, as he closed the door behind him.
"Katara?" Aang called, as he walked in the simple hut. It had three rooms: A living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. Sokka, Katara, and their dad all shared the same room, so when Aang visited, he slept in the living room.
The house was one of the best in town.
"Aang!" Katara came running into the living room, and gave her boyfriend a small kiss. The two hugged.
"I'm back."
"So I noticed!"
"So what are you doing still?" The two came out of their hug, and Aang showed interest in Katara's chores. Katara liked that. He was so nice.
"Oh, I was washing the dishes. But I'm almost done!" Katara playfully bent the water on her hands to completely cover Aang's face!
"Hey, not funny! It'll take forever for me to dry off!" Aang bent the water off of his face, and sprayed it all over Katara. "Oh wait... never mind!"
Katara laughed, did not dry herself off, and the two walked into the kitchen to finish the dishes.
…
Appa couldn't sleep. Something had been hurting on its belly for a long time now. Now that thought about it, he had had it since they left the temple. In fact, For the past few days, every time, Appa flew, it had felt that same tugging feeling.
Appa decided to figure out what was going on. He rolled over, and strained to see his underside, when he saw it. A kid!
Appa cried out in surprise! So did the kid!
"AAHH!" And with that, the kid jumped off, and ran out into the snow...
Appa stared after the boy, slightly concerned. But, from the pain, Appa hadn't gotten the most perfect rest in a while, and his weariness overcame his compassion, for he was just an animal, and he took his nap.
