A/N: Ladies and gentleman... A crossover with Avatar: The Last Air-Bender
It started out as a seemingly normal day with a certain someone seen, relaxing and taking it easy by the beach.
"Ah... This is nice... Nothing can ruin this for me..." Drell smiled to himself as he sat in a chair while sunbathing.
Little did he know, a group was almost coming to where he was going.
"Are we there yet, Katara?" A voice asked.
"Me and my big mouth..." Drell groaned.
"Not yet, Sokka." A female voice sighed.
A trio was shown traveling together.
"Well, I hope it's soon," The other boy smiled, looking a bit hopeful. "It's nice to get out of the village once in a while."
"Yeah, I'll admit that." The girl said to him patiently.
'Guess this must be before they met Toph,' Drell thought to himself before seeing that a fourth person was shown on the back of a flying bison. 'Never mind.'
The group kept traveling for a while until they saw land.
"I see land! We're here!" The one boy beamed before looking over. "...Right?"
"Who's got the map?" The blind girl asked.
"I got it," The other girl said before looking at the map. "Hmm... I think this might be it."
The flying bison soon landed, not knowing that it had landed on top of the strongest warlock in the universe.
"Mmf!" Drell muffled from that.
Toph soon came off of the bison and looked around as her friends, Katara, Aang, and Sokka soon joined her.
"All right! We're here!" Sokka smiled. "Man, it sure looks like we can relax around here."
"Whoever parked this bison on me is going to be buried alive when I count to ten," Drell growled. "NINE-"
Appa could hear Drell from under him before he began to get off Drell and parked five feet in front of him. Drell soon stood up with a glare, with his hands on his hips.
"Uh... Sorry about that, sir..." Katara said nervously.
"Seems that flying bison of yours still hasn't changed a bit, Aang." Drell told the air-bender as he dusted the sand off him.
"Uh... Heh... Sorry?" Aang smiled sheepishly.
"I should turn you all into toads," Drell groused slightly. "But you're in luck I'm not going to do that because I'm on my vacation."
"Looks like we're in luck." Sokka replied.
"What are you guys doing here?" Drell asked them. "You on vacation too?"
"Yeah, and we've been looking for this island while Zuko and his girlfriend have their time together." Toph said.
"Great..." Drell rolled his eyes. "If you'll excuse me then, I'm going to enjoy my vacation elsewhere."
"I get the feeling you don't like us." Sokka said.
"No, no, it's not that..." Drell replied, but didn't say anything else as he got ready to leave. He was soon stopped by a random hit of water from the ocean, telling him his vacation would have to wait.
The others looked to him.
"Or I could just drop everything and babysit Team Avatar." Drell glared as he looked infuritated.
"Katara, did you do that?" Sokka asked his water-bending sister.
"No." Katara defended.
"Oh... You didn't do it, Little Miss Water-Bender?" Drell smirked. "Well, in that case..." he then yelled. "WHO DID?!"
The group huddled together, shivering from his anger. The ocean seemed to answer that question as it hit him again.
"Ocean...?" Drell narrowed his eyes.
"Uh, I guess the ocean did that, sir?" Sokka smiled sheepishly. "Please don't chop us up into pieces and eat 'em!"
Drell simply rolled his eyes at that assumption. Sokka shivered nervously.
"I don't know why I have to do this, but you guys are coming with me," Drell replied. "I mean, it's not like I'm gonna have to do this again in a hundred years from now or anything with taking a bunch of kids on some new adventure."
Unfortunately he would, but that's for another time.
Drell soon used his magic to change into a more professional looking outfit, then soon walked off with Team Avatar to go with them before wincing and glaring up at the creature who landed on his head. "Hello, Momo." he then grumbled.
Momo soon looked confused as to how Drell knew his name.
"Do you know where we must go?" Toph asked Drell.
"Yes, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to take you," Drell grumbled. "I was promised a vacation."
"Guess you'll have to miss out on it then." Toph said.
"Thank you for reminding me!" Drell deadpanned.
"You're welcome." Toph replied.
Drell soon began to show them the way. They soon came to what looked like a tropical side of the island.
"Ah..." Drell sighed happily. "I was looking forward to seven stress-free days hanging out here... Relaxing... Not having to worry about anything..."
"This looks like a nice place." Sokka smiled.
"Yeah, for a vacation..." Drell rolled his eyes.
"Ah, you've come." A voice said behind him which startled him.
"Tala, what did I say about sneaking up behind me?!" Drell glared to the elderly woman.
"I don't know, but it's fun for me." Tala chuckled to him.
"Oi!" Drell groaned.
Tala giggled to him like a mischievous child.
"Listen, you," Drell glared. "My vacation is interrupted because of these Element Bending brats, so unless you wanna be turned into sea foam, you better stay out of my way!"
The ocean soon hit him again, telling him he needed to behave.
"Will you CUT THAT OUT?!" Drell glared at the ocean.
"Looks like the ocean wants you to behave." Tala smirked.
Drell let out a small growl as they followed after Tala as she took them into her home with her son and daughter-in-law, and where there were soon shown some little girls.
"What's going on here?" Drell asked politely.
"Story time," Tala smiled. "You will stay and join us a while."
"Fine." Drell rolled his eyes.
"Do we have a choice?" Sokka asked.
"Nope." Drell muttered.
"Who knows? This story might be interesting." Katara said.
"I sure hope so." Sokka replied.
Aang soon sat down, looking curious as Tala came in front of the young ones.
"In the beginning, there was only ocean until the mother island emerged: Te Fiti. Her heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself, and Te Fiti shared it with the world, but in time, some begin to seek Te Fiti's heart," Tala soon began the story. "They believed that they could possess it, the great power of creation would be theirs. And one day, the most daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it. He was a Demigod of the wind and sea. He was a warrior. A trickster. A shape-shifter who could change form with the power of his magical fish hook. And his name was Maui. But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness. Maui tried to escape, but was confronted by another who sought the heart: Te Kā, a demon of earth and fire. Maui was struck from the sky, never to be seen again, and his magical fish hook and the heart of Te Fiti, were lost to the sea. Where even now, 1,000 years later, Te Kā and the demons of the deep still hunt for the heart, hiding in the darkness that will continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island until every one of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death! But one day, the heart will be found by someone who would journey beyond the reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's heart and save us all."
"Whoa." Aang smiled out of interest.
"Thank you, Mother, that's enough." A man's voice said.
"Ah... Chief Tui." Drell examined.
"Hello, Drell." The chief greeted.
Drell bowed since it was a regal custom.
"What brings you here?" Chief Tui asked.
"Apparently I got roped into bringing some folks over here to explore." Drell replied.
"Never took you for a people person." Chief Tui said.
"Believe me, I am not," Drell rolled his eyes. "And I think your mother's story might have frightened most of the kids halfway, except for one who I'm guessing is your daughter."
"You think so?" Chief Tui replied.
"She seems to be as eccentric as her grandmother." Drell smirked.
"Hmph." Chief Tui smirked back.
"Papa!" One of the girls ran over to him.
Katara couldn't help but smile at how cute the chief's daughter and the rest of the children looked.
"No one goes outside the reef. We're safe here. There is no darkness. There are no monsters," Chief Tui informed. "There is nothing beyond that reef, but storm and rough sea. As long as we stay on our very safe island, we'll be fine."
'They've never left their island?' Katara thought to herself.
"The legends are true," Tala said to her son. "Someone will have to go."
"Mother, Motunui is paradise," Chief Tui replied. "Who would want to go anywhere else?"
"Except to save their home from dying." Drell brought up.
The kids soon screamed into a panic.
"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down!" Katara told them, trying to help out.
"Kids, calm down!" Sokka added.
The kids soon ran around before knocking him and Chief Tui down.
"There is nothing beyond that reef but storm and rough sea," Chief Tui told the little ones who were freaking out. "As long as we stay on our very safe island, we'll be fine."
"The legends are true," Tala told her son. "Someone will have to go."
Moana soon looked over and began to sneak out as she looked very curious. Katara saw Moana sneaking out and where she soon decided to follow after her while not making a sound.
"Mother, Motunui is paradise," Chief Tiu said as his daughter left, but he didn't realize it. "Who would want to go anywhere else?"
"I wanted a vacation!" Drell complained.
Moana soon wandered out on her own with Katara following behind her. They were soon seen walking to the beach and to the ocean. Moana giggled as she walked towards the ocean. The water soon washed up a seashell for her to take and she was about to, only to hear birds not too far away who looked hungry, and there was a baby turtle who was trapped where he was because if he got out, they would eat him alive. Katara frowned as she was about to use her water-bending to keep the birds from eating the sea turtle, but saw Moana going over to a leaf big enough to keep the sea turtle out of the bird's sight from above. This was both very cute and nice of Moana as she helped the young sea turtle out into the ocean. The birds soon flew towards Moana to get the baby turtle as she tried to shoo them away. Katara began to help Moana keep the birds away from the baby turtle. Moana soon looked over and gasped to Katara.
"Oh! Hey, there, sweetie." Katara smiled.
"You're the girl from earlier." Moana said as they helped the baby turtle to the ocean.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Katara smiled. "That was nice of you to help that turtle."
"I just couldn't let those birds eat it." Moana told her.
Katara smiled as that was thoughtful. Moana smiled back before she soon collected a seashell after saving the sea turtle, and where the ocean was soon seen making a path for Moana, showing another seashell. Katara smiled as she joined Moana, almost like a big sister bonding with a little sister. A fish flopped in the sand before going back into the water. Moana soon began to collect the seashells as the water seemed to show her a path through the sand. Katara began to wonder why the ocean was doing this.
Nonetheless, she followed after Moana. The baby turtle seemed to wave at Moana from inside the water as it followed after its mother. Moana smiled to that before looking bewildered by the water. Katara began to become curious about why the ocean was making a way for Moana to walk down on without getting wet. The wave seemed to come out towards Moana without splashing her. Moana tilted her head one way while the wave seemed to tilt itself. Moana soon giggled and reached out to touch the ocean wave before it splashed a little on her, but she laughed to it, dropping her seashells until her hair was suddenly changed.
"The ocean seems to like you." Katara smiled at Moana.
"Yeah..." Moana smiled back as she seemed to like the ocean back.
They both soon saw a green glowing object floating in the water floating to Moana.
"Huh? What is that?" Katara pondered.
Moana soon came toward it while going through the water, and where she soon caught the green glowing object to see what it was. Katara gasped in concern as she continued to follow after Moana. And where it was a stone with an interesting design on it. Katara wasn't sure what to do, but at least Moana wasn't hurt. Moana soon took the stone with a curious smile.
"Moana!" Chief Tui's voice called out to his daughter.
The ocean soon acted quickly as it got the two girls back to the beach.
"Oh, there you are," Chief Tui sighed as he came to his daughter as the ocean seemed to stop then. "Moana, what are you doing? You scared me."
"Fun, I wants go back." Moana pouted.
"I know, I know, but you don't go out there," Chief Tui told her. "It's dangerous."
"The ocean can be dangerous, but it can also be wonderful." Katara smiled.
"You took her out here, didn't you?" Chief Tui scolded.
"No, sir. I followed her out here." Katara said.
"Hmm... Well, be careful next time." Chief Tui replied.
"I will, I promise." Katara told him.
Moana soon pouted as she looked out to the ocean.
"Moana, come on... Let's go back to the village," Chief Tui told his daughter, taking her hand. "You are the next great chief of our people."
"That's a big responsibility for a little girl." Drell said.
"She will grow." Chief Tui told the warlock.
"Fair enough." Drell shrugged.
"And you'll do wondrous things, my little minnow." Moana's mother, Sima, smiled as she picked up her daughter, spinning her around before kissing her cheek.
"Oh, yes, but first, you must learn where you're meant to be." Chief Tui added.
Katara looked a little sad because she never really remembered what a mother's love was like. Drell saw how sad Katara was and knew that a surprise much later would help.
The villagers were soon going about their normal day as Moana was brought back home, as Team Avatar followed after. It seemed calm and peaceful so far. Drell soon looked around and went into a hut that was empty and soon tried to take a nap so he could enjoy the vacation he deserved. It was peaceful until he was then woken up by some chickens.
"Ugh..." Drell groaned. "Sunshine... Sandy beach... CHICKENS?!"
The chickens soon got scared from his outburst. Drell soon left the hut, looking annoyed as he was covered in feathers. Sokka soon laughed at him. Drell soon used his magic to zip Sokka's lips shut. Sokka's eyes widened and he soon muffled.
"Hey, Suka." Drell smirked, walking past him.
Sokka began to rant after hearing that.
Moana seemed to enjoy her time with her family.
"Moana, make way, make way, Moana, it's time you knew, The village of Motonui is all you need~" Chief Tui began to sing to his daughter until she suddenly wandered off.
Katara noticed this and soon went after her. Moana was soon brought back as she was quite curious.
"The dancers are practicing, They dance to an ancient song~" Chief Tui sang as Moana was dancing with her family before she tried to wander off again to the ocean.
And where of course, Katara would bring her back. Drell soon went under a tree and tried to take a nap there, only for him to be interrupted yet again. Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph seemed to like it here so far as they hung out with young Moana, though she didn't mind their company at all. Sokka seemed annoyed a bit from Moana's mishaps, but Katara seemed amused by them along with Aang and Toph.
"Okay, babysitting Moana's fun, I'm going to go now." Drell said, but just as he was about to leave...
The ocean wave came to him.
"Ah!" Drell warned.
The ocean wave then seemed to stop.
"Heh... Stupid wave..." Drell smirked until a magic dust cloud poofed and out came a magical woman. "Spella?"
"Where are you going?" Spella asked him.
"To somewhere I can relax." Drell said.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Spella asked.
"No?" Drell replied.
"Didn't you make a deal with General Iroh?" Spella replied.
"Dang it." Drell groaned.
"Mm-hmm..." Spella nodded.
"At least make it interesting." Drell told her.
"You mean like a time skip?" Spella asked.
"Yes." Drell nodded.
"Hmm... All right..." Spella replied. "How long?"
"I dunno, 15 or 16 years without Team Avatar being affected?" Drell shrugged.
"Hmm... Okay... You just relax now." Spella said before casing a time skip spell.
"If I could relax, I wouldn't be babysitting these pests, now would I?" Drell complained.
"They're not pests." Spella told him.
"They're not pests." Drell mumbled in mimicry.
"I heard that." Spella glared.
Drell blew a raspberry to her.
"Want me to turn you into a frog and only be turned back to normal from true love's kiss?" Spella warned.
"Spella, that's not funny." Drell said as he was getting over a bad break-up from a long time ago.
"I know, that's because that's a warning." Spella glared.
"Fine..." Drell rolled his eyes. "Anyway, on with the time skip!"
Spella nodded and soon made a time skip to about sixteen years later. "It is done." She said.
"Thanks, I guess." Drell replied.
"You're welcome, now, see you later." Spella said before leaving.
Drell soon arrived back in his spot. Of course, Team Avatar was still there.
