Sokka the Strong
Ch 1
I OWN NOTHING!
Sokka was crouching low to the ground, watching the Jackalope graze in a clearing. The young man grin and got ready to hurl his boomerang at the unsuspecting delicacy, already imagining the animal on a spit. As he was about to make a move there was a chattering squeal with the lemur Momo landing on top of the Watertribe boy's head, scaring the daylights out of the Jackalope and making it run for the woods.
Sokka made a wild swing at the little fuzzball that had disturbed him but once again missed. Sokka then called it a day and started back towards camp, grumbling about "Dumb flying rodents!" and continued to grumble until the ground suddenly gave out from under him and he fell into an underground cavern.
Nursing his aching back, he looked around at the formerly sealed cavern, a pile of rubble marking the former exit. As he adapted to the dim light from the hole he noticed a strage sight. There at one side of the cavern was a large cauldron, bubbling merrily to itself as if someone had left it there.
"Okay, that's just a little weird?" He said to himself. However he smelled something heavenly from the cauldron and his stomach overcame his common sense. He walked over to the cauldron, however he failed to notice the uneven ground in the dark light and just as he was about to reach it, he tripped and fell into the oversized cauldron.
The liquid in the cauldron was hot and in his confused state, he couldn't tell which way was up. However, as he continued to thrash around, a strange thing started to happen. He suddenly felt STRONG not just strong but STRONG! He felt incredible; he felt like he could crush boulders with his bare hands, he felt like he could wrestle giant sea-wolves to the ground. He felt so incredible he wanted to jump and shout it to the world, which was exactly what he did. "WAHOOOO!!!!" He jumped clean out of the cauldron and continued straight upwards, straight through the several foot thick stone roof of the cave! After that he ran back to camp, he just had to tell the other what had happened.
Katara was watching Aang as he played with Momo who had just scampered back into camp from following Sokka into the woods. As she was about to wonder where her brother was there was a huge crashing sound as a tree was apparently pushed over and crashed to the ground. The ground shook because of the falling forest titan. When she looked to see what had happened she saw at the uprooted base of the tree her brother Sokka who was leaning against the tree, grinning like a loon.
"Sokka!??? What happened?!!!" She asked her voice shaky a little from shock.
Sokka grinned and ran over to Katara's side way too fast for her liking. "Ha ha ha ha ha! Katara! Aang! You'll never believe what happened to me!" As Aang came to Katara's side , Sokka went back to the roots of the tree and out of their line of sight. Then with a small grunt the entire tree was lifted off the ground and Sokka was holding the massive forest giant with one hand. Then with a shot-put style throw he hurled the multi-ton tree clean over the next ridge and into the horizon where the rumble could be easily felt.
The reaction was quite normal. "A bu-bu-bu-bubu-bu-bu-bububu-…..", was the general statement by both Katara and Aang while the two animal could tell that something was most definitely off with the older male. Katara was the first to recover and turned to her older brother and asked, "Sokka? How on earth did you do that?"
Sokka gave another huge grin, "That will be my little secret for now." He turned to Aang and asked, "So Aang, where to now?"
Aang shook his head and said, "Next stop on our list is this island to ride the elephant-koi."
A/N: Well there you have it. I always felt that Sokka ought to have the opportunity to be able to take on the Avatar world heavy weights and is the most unique way I could do it without giving him bending powers. I plan to try and follow how the episodes go and see how him being that dang strong will affect him and the world around him. Rest assured he won't be god and he can't punch his way out of everything. But a little advise from an Avatar Fanfic writer would be most appreciated. As a major character for him will be met next chapter and him being strong enough to take on the Unagi head to head will undoubtedly change how the interaction between them will be.
