A/N: Hello everyone! Yes, I know, it's been months since I've updated anything and now I'm created a new story! What gives? Well, for anyone who's watching me and waiting for my new chapters of Hogwarts Princess and A Gypsy's Tale, no worries. I am not dropping any of my other fics. In fact, I'm planning on alternating between HP and AGT every Monday, giving me a week between every new update this summer. I may not stick with that plan, but either way, many new updates are to be expected for this summer.
But even so, why start a new story so suddenly? Well, to be honest, it's not new at all. I started this last summer and never finished it, due to school starting. (story of my life, I know) I have, however, gone on a recent Zutara bender and I needed to get some of this out of my system. I figured the best way to do that would be to upload some of the stories I have just sitting in my Word doc. The main reason why I haven't done anything with this, however, is fear. Eframtheretardedrabbit writes Disney/Zutara crossovers that I adore and they inspired me to write this. The reason why I haven't uploaded this is because of my constant "My story won't be as good as Efram's" narrative. Hopefully, this is not too similar to Efram's stories. Anyway, I just thought, what the heck, and decided to add this.
Another Disney/Zutara I'm working on is for Pocahontas and is not nearly as good or as close to being finished as this one is, so if this gets good feedback, I'll go on to upload that one too. Special thanks go out to Efram here on fanfiction for all the great stories and inspiration as well as KyokoMari on deviantart for the characterizations. I hope you all enjoy. Don't forget to review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Mulan, Avatar, or anything related to that. Trust me, if I did, I would be writing best sellers, not fanfictions. I don't own much at all, really.
It was a dark night in the Earth Kingdom. A young soldier patrolled the walls of the great city of Ba Sing Se, keeping a lookout for the invading Fire Nation. So far, nothing had ever happened to make him worry. In fact, not even the slightest attempt had been made to breach the city's great wall to get to the Emperor. The young man had begun to wonder why Gyatso had even made these precautions in the first place.
Suddenly, the piercing cry of a hawk shot through the night sky. Something hard hit the back of the soldier's helmet and he turned around wildly. Nothing was there.
Another cry was sounded and he turned around once more to see a messanger hawk of the Fire Nation perched on the edge of the wall.
"Huh?" he wondered, leaning forward to get a better look at the hawk. Was the Fire Nation trying to communitcate? Or was it…
The hawk's cry pierced the night one final time and in response, dozens of grapling hooks shot upward and latched onto the wall of Ba Sing Se. An invasion. The soldier quickly ran as fast as he could to the signal tower in the hope of sounding the alarm.
Just as quickly as the hooks had appeared, one Fire Nation warrior for every hook on the wall was climbing up, reaching toward him. He ran blindly, not even noticing when two huge men burst through a door, doing what they could to stop him.
The soldier climbed up the ladder to the signal tower, running for his life. The two warriors below him had cut apart his ladder, trapping him high in the turret. Reaching for the horn to alert everyone of invaders, a bright light flashed before his eyes.
Standing before him, tall and menacing, was the great and powerful Ozai of the Fire Nation. He loomed down on the soldier, ready to strike when the sound of a horn reached their ears.
Ozai's burst of flames had alerted the other patrollers to the danger of Fire Nation invaders. Hundreds of horns began to blast, sounding all across the wall. The entire Earth Kingdom would be awakened and alerted. Soon, hundreds of Earth Kingdom soldiers would be rushing to the wall, warding off the rouge Fire Nation warriors.
"Now the entire Earth Kingdom knows you're here," the soldier said loudly.
Ozai smirked, not shaken in the least by the young man's spout of bravery.
"Perfect."
Within the palace of Ba Sing Se, Emperor Gyatso was being informed of the actions of Ozai and his rouge Fire Nation army.
"Emperor," said the head general Iroh, bowing before Gyatso. "My troops are fighting against Ozai as we speak. They have sent him retreating from Ba Sing Se, but not the Earth Kingdom. Ozai is sure to go back to the woods where the whole of his armies are hiding. With your permission, I will send my troops from the camp to fight his armies."
"No," said the older man, shaking his head. "Your troops will not be enough for Ozai. We will need a combination of the countries, a cooperation of the elements, to defeat the rouge Fire Nation. Fire against fire alone will not be enough."
"Then what do you suggest, Gyatso?" the second in command to the Emperor questioned.
"We will need the strongest man from every family in the Kingdom to stop Ozai," he said.
"But Gyatso," the general cut in. "There is no time. New recruits will not be well trained enough to fight Ozai's armies. Our only chance is my army."
Gyatso shook his head and dismissed the general's concerns. "Kyoshi warriors should be sent to the outer lying villages to protect my people. Then I want Zhao to send for the new men and for you and your commanders to train our new troops," he said to Iroh. "I will take no chances for my people to be unprotected. One man could be the difference between victory and defeat."
A/N: So? How was it?
Just a a notice for anyone who has read my other stuff, these chapters will be significantly shorter than my other stories, due to the fact that Disney movies are, well, very short. There's just not as much to work with, so anyone hoping for long chapters will be disappointed. My next chapters, however, should be much longer than this one. They'll still be short, just not this short. For an intro, this is as good as it gets. Deal with it.
Hope you all enjoyed. Loves, Tori
