Alright figured Id give a SI in the Avatar verse a shot. I am about to start college so updating will be sporadic but i will shoot for once a week. Please feel free to review and provide constructive criticism. I dont not own anything in this story all rights reserved for the companies they belong to. All I own is myself and the laptop I am typing on. So nick if you wanna sue a college boy all you might get is maybe maybe 100 dollars. Also I do not own my friend whom is in here with me. As that is illegal.

Where am I?

It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism

Many people think it would be cool to live in the avatar world. To ride around with Aang and the Gaang. What those who think this have not studied war. War is not a pretty thing, It shapes men, molds them and changes them. Sometimes for the best and sometimes for the worst. It brings out both acts of insane heroism and the greatest of sins. For one man's hero is another man's greatest enemy. To sum up all this into three small words one must only look at General Sherman from the American Civil War and his quote of "War is Hell."

I never asked to be here in this place, to leave my family behind, leave my country, my people, and my home. However, I feel my time is ending and I must write down the truth of what happened. How I brought about the end to the war, when the avatar failed. Few ever knew of my origins. Even fewer survive to this day. All that is left is me and my wife and two of my friends whom I owe a great debt to. My kids have their suspicions but until they read this after my death they will never truly know.

Kids if this is you reading this then know that I kept this from you so you could have a normal childhood. Please do not be angry with your mother or I for holding this back from you. Anyways, for you to truly understand where I come from I feel I must start at the beginning

June 29th 2014

"Whats up man!" I yelled as I saw my best friend Kenny for the first time in a year. The last time I had seen him was this past summer when I finally didn't have any army rotc stuff. Now, he was here with me to see my Commissioning and to be my first salute.

"Hey look its' dumbass!"

"Thats Lt. Dumbass to you sergeant."

"Not yet it isn't, till then I think I am going to stick with Dumbass."

"Remind me again who is the Engineer between the two of us?"

"Yea, but you probably paid off your professors."

"Hey, atleast i didnt try to sleep with a female drill instructor ."

"Hey dude she was HOT, plus you haven't gone to basic so that doesn't count..."

"And you haven't gone to college yet."

"Shut up… we don't talk about that," he replied to my snarky comment with a grin upon his face.

I reached out my hand and shook his hand. Feeling he firm handshake that I've come to expect from him.

"So whats on the agenda for today?"

"Not much, we can stop by the creamery and get some Ice cream but other than that I've got nothing planned."

"Good cause I brought the entire series of Last Air Bender and I really want to watch it."

"Alright sounds good to me man."

"Hey I also brought my Drill Gear since I have drill this weekend. Hope you don't mind."

"No, just keep it in a neat pile please. My parents are due up here tomorrow and I really don't want to spend another 4 hours cleaning my place so I don't get yelled at."

"Man, you know I am OCD as fuck. I mean you saw how much I like that firefly board game because it has slots for everything to go into."

"Good point, maybe I should've let you clean up my house."

"I said OCD not your slave."

"Wait you're not my slave?" I reply jokingly, "When did this happen?"

"Ahhh screw off!"

3 hours later

"Tell my Uncle I found the Avatar."

I reach up to open the dvd player to put in the next disk so that I can watch the next episode of the series. as I touch the button though the world seems to slow down. My breathing seems to take forever with each breath coming in. I start to see a blue line crawling up my arm and going across my floor. I instinctively try to pull my arm back. Pulling with all my might. Time slows even further down as adrenaline kicks in. The line seems to move a millimeter a second up my arm. I yank even harder. Nothing seems to work.

I see a K-Bar knife on the coffee table behind me and with desperation I reach for it. Knowing that it is better to lose an arm then it is to die. I stretch out my hand and my whole body to reach for it. The blue light is half way up my arm by now despite my best efforts.

My fingertips brush up against the bottom hilt of the knife. It is barely out of my reach. I pull harder hoping to dislocate my trapped arm so that I may gain an extra inch… nothing happens.

Kenny comes out of the kitchen where he had been popping popcorn to see me struggling. He rushes towards me.

"Kenny get away! I dont want you to get trapped as well!"

"Hell no! I swore to never leave a comrade behind, besides you're my friend and friends don't quite on friends!" he yelled back as he rushed forward at a full sprint to try and save me.

I reached my arm out and he grabbed it. However, as soon as he touches my outstretched hand the light speeds up. Like a predator that has found its prey it leaps forward faster than it had been crawling the entire time up my arm. Engulfing us both in a bright flash of light.

"These two shall do nicely"

"Indeed, one has the training and experience and one is a leader of men."

"Shall we proceed?"

"Of course we shall. Open the rift and send them in."

"At once my lord."

"Wake up!" a young male voice shouts at me.

I open my eyes to see snow and a lot of government property laying around. upon looking up I am greeted by a strange sight. A spear point is pointed at my face. Behind it was a young boy. No more than 15 or so. He looked extremely familiar and even sounded familiar. However, when i heard the second voice. I was able to put two and two together.

"Sokka leave them alone!" a girl shouted whom i knew was katara.

Then just like it was a cartoon thats when kenny picked the perfect time to start moaning "Ughhhhhh."

"Kenny stop moaning and look up we have a serious problem."

"Shit."

"On your feet, fire nation spie's"

"Boy point that spear away from my friend now before you get yourself hurt!" Kenny yelled in his best drill sergeant voice taking the young man by surprise causing him to take a few steps back.

Not wasting a moment I am on my feet and grab the shaft of the spear. Turning my body to the side as i grab it I pull it towards where I was sharply. This causes him to stumble which is the opening that I need. I bring my foot around and hit the back of his knees. As they connects I push him back using the spear as a leverage point. With him being off balance from my blow to the back of the knee and the violent shove he is sent flying into the snow and me with the spear.

My victory is short lived though as I feel my legs get encased in ice. Turning my head to my right I see the same thing has happen to kenny. I quickly scan around and see the source of this Ice. It's a girl, no correction its Katara and boy oh man does she look scary with her bending. Knowing I am out matched I lower the spear and place it on the ground.

"Now, tell me who you are and maybe i'll go easy on you," Katara orders us.

Kenny being the great NCO he is gives the three things he is required to give like it is second instinct. " Name: ******, Kenny Rank Sergeant First Class, Serial Number

116759878 KC."

"Kenny you're an idiot. Were not captured by any radicals. Think for a second you idiot. Who do they look sound and act like? Anyways, the name's Will and you two might be?

"I am Katara and thats my brother Sokka. Now I am going to let you out of the Ice since Sakka was being stupid and was holding you at spear point."

"Thank you," then looking at sakka i put a smile on my face, "I am sorry i had to do that but you left me no choice. You kinda had a spear in my face."

Sakka just looks mad and pouts. Atleast I think he was pouting. I really never could tell if he was just being constipated or pouting.

"Anyways, I am freezing. Let me and my friend here pick up some of our stuff put it on and we will answer any questions you must have.

1 hour later in the southern water tribe village

"So that's where we are from." I finish.

"You expect us to believe you come from some island of which you have no idea where it is, out there!" Sokka said as he pointed, "I think your a fire nation spy sent to destroy my village and I am not going to let you!"

"SOKKA!" Katara yelled, "Look at their uniform does that look like fire nation uniforms to you? Furthermore, we found them in the snow and you know what that means. They are our GUESTS and we must be nice hosts to them!"

"Thats what ive been trying to say!" Kenny shouted.

" Well I still don't trust you! who on earth wear's things that are different colors and blocky colors at that?"

"We do, it's the respected outfit where we came from. To be honored and those who wear it bear a responsibility to their people."

"What type of responsibility?"

"To defend the weak, the innocent, our way of life to our last breath."

"So your soldiers?" Katara asked.

"Exactly!" Will finally blurted in!

"Well then we kinda need your help. We think the fire nation is on there way here now and we could use the extra muscle to fight them off."

" Katara we don't need them!"

"Sakka shut up! They are professional soldiers we need their help!"

"But…"

"Sakka thats final!"

"Fine, but I am still in charge."

"Agreed," Will and kenny said before the argument to go any further.

"Well let us get you some weapons,"Katara said.

10 minutes later

"When the fire nation attacks i expect each and everyone of you to give your best for the village." Sakka went on for his speech.

However, my mind was on something else. I knew what was coming and I knew how it would end. I just needed to hold the line till the Avatar got here. Then everything would happen just like it did in the show. Looking up I saw a puff of black smoke slowly get closer.

Kenny and I lock eyes, both of us nod and slip out the line and work to conceal ourselves so we may get the maximum advantage against what was to come. We only hope the traps we had placed worked as well as we hoped.

We barely got ourselves concealed when the ramp came down and the firebenders came out. However, unlike the show they didn't just walk out. No, no,no that would be to easy. They came running out fire ready and blasting anything they thought was a threat.

A firebender started to come towards me. Without knowing if he saw me or not i chose to remain still and try to let my camouflage work. My heart started bounding. I grab the hilt of my K-Bar and the sword I was given. I knew if I wanted to live I needed to strike fast before the bender cause through fire at me.

The Fire bender, peered closer to me. His eyes scanning me and the dimly lit igloo house. He was almost within reach. My grip tightened on the knife even harder. I knew that i would have just one shot a this. Then the Firebender made a fatal mistake. He slipped on some ice.

With a bellowing warcry that pierced the air I jumped upon him brandishing my knife from its scabbard.

I plugged it down into his eye slot with all of my might. His scream filled the air. It was short lived though as the knife soon pierced his brain and severed his brain stem. Killing him instantly. Knowing my cover was blown I let loose another yell and charged forward. Switching the knife to my off hand I draw my sword. A man who could only be prince zuko looks stunned. This lasts for merly a second before he starts to send a vious series of attacks my way. I try to dodge and roll out of the way but I am too slow. It looks as if this might be it for me. When Suddenly mere inches from my face a wall from the ground made of ice appears and stop the flame.

WIth them all being distracted Kenny is able to sneak upon one of them and slit his throat the last body guard of the esteemed prince falls into one of our conceal ditches that were little more than glorified holes in the ground.

This causes Prince Zuko to get furious. His face snares into a nasty look and he screams "ENOUGH!" as fire shoots from all four limbs surrounding Me, Kenny Katara and the one guy on our side who got his butt handed to him Sakka.

"Give me the Avatar and I shall leave you alone! Refuse and I shall destroy everything here. Do not Test me!"

Everyone but me and Kenny looks at him with strange look. When Katara spoke up "Avatar? What Avatar."

"Dont play fool with me! He is about 110 looks like this," Zuko said as he pointed at an old woman, "Master of all four elements. I know he is here!"

Just then the boy who could only be Aang came rolling in on a penguin. "Leave these people alone."

"So you're the avatar? I must say I was expecting someone older."

Aang and zuko both started to circle each other. Aang started to take in his surroundings. He saw how me and kenny were battered and hurt. He saw how the village had been wrecked. Not wanting to cause further harm to the village he offered himself up, "If I go with you do you promise to leave this village alone?"

Zuko nodded his head.
