Fire, Water, Earth, Air. Long ago, these were these four nations. After the third harmonic convergence, the land shifted forming a new continent where a mass of ocean used to be. During the next hundred and fifty years, this continent came to be known as the United States of America The earth kingdom and fire nation moved to become the land across the ocean from this new continent and two massive islands formed which became the Cities Of Air. Energy, an element previously only known to a few of the Avatars, became the dominent element of the United States of America.
Chapter 1:
The day started out as it usually does for Thomas. He woke up in his bedroom in the apartment he lived in overlooking the 87.6 MMO FM radio tower. Thomas raised his hands and concentrated, nothing. He groaned in frustration. After eating a quick breakfast, he stepped onto the sidewalk in front of his house and walked over to the metrobus stop on the side of his street. Before entering the bus, he grabbed an issue of The Washington Express. He sat down alone on an empty seat and flipped through the ads for digital Pai Sho consoles and lists of highly rated tea shops and restaurants in the area to see an article about the presidential candidate Donald Trump. Intrigued, Thomas begain to read. "Wikileaks articles reveal that presidential candidate Trump may or may not have business dealings with the Akuma, a Fire Nation company notorious for creating three enormous oil spills near the northern and southern Water Tribe Cities in the last five years…"
Thomas was still thinking about the article when he stepped outside to eat lunch in the middle of the day. He munched on a bag of Lays Fire Flakes as he took a seat next to an oak tree.
"Hey!", Thomas heard. He looked over his shoulder to see his friend, Sokka standing next to him. He explained to Thomas once that he was named after the member of Team Avatar who helped end the hundred year war so long ago.
"Hi", Thomas said, "have you heard about?-"
"CLEAR OUT NOW!", Thomas heard a man scream through a bullhorn. Thomas looked across the rose garden to see seven soldiers in black fire nation uniforms. No one moved. The man with the bullhorn gestured and four of the soldiers punched the air three times. Balls of fire shot from their fists and slammed into the ground, narrowly missing eight students. Everyone except for Thomas ran threw the door.
"Who are you?", Thomas asked. Ignoring him, one of the soldiers approached Thomas and raised what looked like a long antenna. The antenna flashed red and started beeping wildly.
"It's him", she said.
"OK", the man with the megaphone said, "kill him."
"Excuse me, what?", Thomas asked. The woman that scanned him kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Before he could even register the pain the soldiers raised their palms and shot blasts of fire at him. That was the last thing he could remember before the world went black.
