Guess who's back! I finally have resolved my class issues. This is the beginning of my Avatar series that I'm going to be doing. Quick question for you guys though, if you read this, please let me know if you want me to post the everything that happens to all of the characters or do you want me to just focus on the storyline where Sakari is featured. I can either combine them or make them separate chapters, the choice is up to you. For this first one, I'm going to separate them into two different chapters as Aang's group and Zuko's group. Also, I have decided to change the ages a little bit so everybody is a little bit older, like about two years and I'm not going to provide descriptions, just because I don't do the characters justice, unless it is a created character, outfit, land, etc. Thanks for all of your support.
*I'm using dialogue straight from what the creators of this series have provided on .net, so please don't get mad at me for using the transcript, as I am taking no credit in the creation of this series. Only my extra storyline. Thanks.*
Introduction
Water… Earth… Fire… Air…
My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe.
Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world.
Plot
In the cold, barren world of the South Pole, fields of ice and snow cover the land, while the swirling salty waters of the ocean flow around large glaciers that dot the sea. While it doesn't look like it, these lands and waters are home to an array of creatures and are the central point for the Southern Water Tribe who rely on the flow of this life in order for them to survive. In deeper waters, surrounded by icebergs, a small canoe is floating on the slow currents that run like veins through these lands. A brother and sister are far from their tribe in the hope of collecting prey to bring back to their village. The canoe is made up of dried leather and bones from their previous prey that their tribe has taken down over the years.
The boy has his arm raised with a spear in his hand as he stalks the fish floating alongside the canoe, unaware of what is right above him. "It's not getting away from me this time. Watch and learn, Katara. This is how you catch a fish," he says to his sister as he smirks thinking that he will be able to take his prey down.
His sister sadly just shakes her head as she looks over to observe another fish. With a worrisome look on her face, she slides off her glove and raises her hand above the water. She begins to push and pull on the water until a ball of water emerges into the air with the same fish floating inside.
"Sokka, look," she exclaims as she adds her other hand in an effort to keep the ball in the air as she tries to get her brother's attention.
"Shhh. Katara, you're gonna scare it away. Mmmm... I can already smell it cookin."
"But Sokka! I caught one," she exclaims as her motions begin to get out of her control. As it moves to float above Sokka, he raises his spear which penetrates the bubble causing himself to get soaked and both fish to escape from the sibling's notice.
He swings around in the boat and exasperates, "Ugh! Why is it that every time you play with magic water I get soaked?"
"It's not magic. It's waterbending, and it's-"
"Yeah, yeah, an ancient art unique to our culture, blah blah blah," he says as he begins to ring out his clothes and hair. "Look, I'm just saying that if I had weird powers, I'd keep my weirdness to myself."
"You're calling me weird? I'm not the one who makes muscles at myself every time I see my reflection in the water," she says smirking as she watches her brother proceed to do just that. His returning gaze doesn't seem amused by her comments, but he is distracted when ice begins to hit the side of the canoe.
The slow moving vein that they were just in has disappeared as a strong current pulls them further and further into large patches of ice. Further ahead they can see that it runs into an iceberg ahead that ends up splitting the current in two. Sokka attempts to maneuver the boat as his sister yells at him, "Watch out! Go left! Go left!"
The canoe is finally crushed between two large chunks of ice as the siblings jump out in order to save themselves. The current has finally come to a rest, only to reveal to them out in the middle of an ice field with no way to get back to land.
"You call that left?"
"You don't like my steering. Well, maybe you should have waterbended us out of the ice," he replied mockingly.
"So it's my fault," she asks as she stands up on their piece of ice.
"I knew I should have left you home. Leave it to a girl to screw things up," he says as Katara feels her frustration hit its limit.
"You are the most sexist, immature, nut brained…," she yells as begins to wave her arms around causing the ice float to sway in the movements of the ocean. Eventually she ends up causing a chunk of ice to break from the iceberg that is rising out of the sea right behind her.
"Ugh, I'm embarrassed to be related to you! Ever since Mom died I've been doing all the work around camp while you've been off playing soldier," she continues as Sokka's face turns to one of dread as the ice continues to crack under the pressure of the waterbender's anger.
"Uh... Katara?"
"I even wash all the clothes! Have you ever smelled your dirty socks? Let me tell you, NOT PLEASANT!"
"Katara! Settle down," he exclaims as more large chunks of ice break off and sink down into the ocean, only to come back up in calmer waters.
"No, that's it. I'm done helping you. From now on, you're on your own," she screams as the force of her anger causes a large number of cracks to emerge in the ice and to have thousands of pieces come falling down in the ocean. The force of this impact on the water causes their piece of ice to be pushed off into deeper waters with the wind traveling by them in a gust.
As they settle back onto the piece of ice, Sokka turns to look at her and says, "Okay, you've gone from weird to freakish, Katara."
"You mean I did that?"
"Yup. Congratulations," he replies sarcastically. As he finishes, a large azure light begins to appear along with an array of bubbles. It crescendos until a large sphere of ice crashes through the barrier of the water and begins to float in front of them. As they continue to stare at it, a pair of eyes open and stare back at the siblings.
They both jump back, while Katara exclaims, "He's alive! We have to help."
She grabs Sokka's club and races towards the sphere where the boy sits in a meditation style.
"Katara! Get back here! We don't know what that thing is," he shouts as he rushes to follow his sister. By the time he catches up to her, she is already pounding on the ball of ice, determined to help whoever is inside. As the side breaks, a rush of air is released and the walls of the sphere collapse and release a large beam of light that spreads across the sky. A herd of tiger seals sense the change in energy and begin to call to the beam. Far off in the distance a lone ship sails smoothly through the dark waters of the South Pole, where a young man stands staring at the light with the look of determination.
He stares for several seconds, until the only words that come out of his mouth are, "Finally."
So... What did you think? Hopefully I'll be able to finish at least the first episode by the end of the week, but no promises.
