*A multi-crossover between Assassins creed, sword of the stranger, and The Avatar and The legend of Korra.*
When Tenzin was born his father Avatar Aang told stories of how he and his friends heroically ended the hundred year war. He also told stories of the medjay, people being the union between spirits and humans, born with a strong spiritual connection making them extremly strong, resiliant and giving them sixth senses. They were once wanderers and bringers of justice that protected innocents, even going as far killing to achieve that. They were respected and feared individuals spanning from the Water tribes from the North and South pole to the Earth kingdoms. But as time went on the world felt like they were no longer nessesary and where all but forgotten, leaving very few left in the world. Together Avatar Aang and Prince Zuko created a united Republic city of nations, a scociety where both Benders and Non-benders from all over the world could thrive in peace and harmony. They named this great land Republic City. Avatar Aang had accomplished many things in his life, but sadly his time in the world had come to an end. But like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew.
*17 years later. Southern water tribe compound.*
A young Male figure was running past the compound towards the training field. This figure had light brown skin with long black unkept hair with red tips, tied to a ponytail. He had two differently colored eyes one being blue and the other brown, and a noticable scar across his right eye. He wore a black sleevless tunic tucked into his dark blue pants and a green/blue hooded outer sleeveless outer robe. He wore rough brown leather sandals/ shin guards that protected the front of his legs and left his bandaged legs exposed (2008 prince of persia sandals with Bayeks leg armor). He also wore bandages on his arms which covered his forearms and he also wore grey fingerless gloves made of wolf skin, he was also missing a ring finger on his left hand. He wore vabrient Crimson red and blue cloth Sashes along with a long brown garnment that covered his legs on the back, tied together around his waist that had the illusion of a tail under leather belts and pouches to keep then together with a belt buckle with the medjay symbol (Assassins insignia). He wore a two leather vambrace on his arms, the right one housed a 'hookblade' which consisted of two components a hook and a blade, and the left had a twine at the base of the missing ring finger and goes directly inside it, which housed a empty hidden blade which can come out of the space of his missing finger. (Aguliars vambraces).
The figures name was Nanashi a newly made member of the medjay like his father and mother before him. His nickname was no-name due to him once being a street orphan and his name literally meaning 'nameless'. He was both Earthnation and Watertribe, and was once mistreated due to him having red hair which he was forced to dye black to blend in.
He was a 18 years old and current childhood friend and unofficial boyfriend of the current Avatar Korra. Over time the two became fast friends, and deeply cared for each other. They were like Water and Fire. While she was brash, fiery, caring and tough. He was relaxed, caring, bold, suprisingly wise for his age, laidback and kind (Although if pushed he can become ruthless if his friends, family or inocents are threatened.) Nevertheless they were always great friends, caring for each other and always having each others back, that they had began an unofficial 'secret' relationship that only a few people know about.
But that's not to say Korra was coming into her abilities as Nanashi was trained in arts of the Medjay when he was 9. This meant he was trained in the arts of combat, being able to utilize a variety of weapons that included Swords, spears, bows, and knives. He was also trained in stealth and wielded a Medjay's best friend the signature 'hidden blade', which was made by the Medjay for assassinations and combat. It was a costume for Medjay to make their own hidden blades which would be an extention of themselves. He was also an expert in freerunning giving him the ability to scale buildings with little to no effort. And Nanashi was one of the few individuals that possessed a high spiritual connection which gave him a dormnant sixth sense called 'eagle vision' which had took training and dedication to master.
Nanashi finally managed to reach the training field just begining her exam and she looked like she was winning.
Korra faced off against her oppenent's , dressed in red protective gear the Avatar faced off against three other Fire-benders. She dispersed one of the Lotus members fire blast and then quickly kicks two fire blasts at her attackers direction. Despite raising his arms to defend themselves from the sheer force of the blast sent the man flying, crashing into the base of observations stands. As she landed Korra approched from the right and left firing streams of fire. Moving her hands in a circular motion, she dissipates the fire ball.
As she takes on a fighting stance again, one of the men charges at her, shooting three fire blasts at the Avatar. Dodging the first two and dissapating the third Korra rushed forward. The Lotus member jumps and sends two arcs of fire in her direction. Tumbling underneath the flames, and extending her leg she manages to throw her opponent of balance making him crash into the ground although he manages to get up quickly.
Now in between the two men, Korra breaks through the fire stream head on, while akso kicking a fire blast back at her attacker approaching from behind, knocking him down. She retaliated with a fire blast of her own and manages to knock the fire-bender down. Then quickly turning back and forth to defend herself against the incoming fire blasts from both men, she powers up her own attack and fires a blast at the man sendind him flying all the way up to the roof of training grounds observation area before he finall slid down and crashed into the ground knocking him out cold.
"She's strong." Katara said obviously impressed with Korra's growth and strength. Sadly the White Lotus Leader didn't have the same opinion.
"She lacks restraint." Replied the leader of the group, Nanashi only rolled his eyes at them but decided to hold his tounge. He never took a liking to the White Lotus and the feeling was mutual for them. He hated how they took her away from her family even though she could visit, but they tried to keep her in the compound, so every now and then he'd help her sneak out.
Korra's final opponent releases a massive stream of fire but Korra rushed in headfirst parts the blast and pushes the mans arms apart stopping his bending. She then used the man as a step up and lauched herself into the air and showered him in a stream of fire. The Lotus bender tried to block it but the force of the attack was to great and was thrown back before droping to the ground in a dead faint.
"Woohooo!" Korra cheered in victory, tgrowing her arms up in triumph but she quickly noticed that apart from Nanashi none of the other spectators were celebrating. In fact the high members of the White Lotus looked as serious as ever except for Nanashi who smiled a little and gave her a thumbs up. "Why is Nanashi the only one who knows how to smile? Why all the doom and gloom people? We should be celebrating three elements down, one to go!"
"Your getting ahead of yourself as usual, Korra." her fire-bending teacher said. " We haven't decided if you passed your fire-bending training."
"Ever since you were a little girl, you've excelled at the physical side of bending, but completely ignored the spiritual side. The avatar must master both" the White Lotus leader lectured.
"I haven't ignored it. It just doesn't come as easy to me, but thats why I should start training with Tenzin Immediatly. He's Mr. Spiritual."
"Do you believe she's ready Master Katara?" Asked the white Lotus leader.
And with a smile Katara said "Yes. If anyone can teach her what she needs to learn it's Tenzin."
And so the elders agreed it was time for Korra to begin her air-bending training.
Korras face lit up with excitment and began to cheer, but she quickly reeled it in as she said calmly, "Thank you all for believing in me." She then jogged off to the stables with a goofy smile on her face, with Nanashi joining her soon after.
Katara smiled as she saw the teens go ofc to the stables, only to hear the leader of the group begin speaking. "Now with her test out of they way, I still think Bayek made a mistake in training him. He might be a danger to the Avatar."
"Did you forget that his parent's were Medjay?" Katara said as she faced the leader. "And that his parents where friends of both me and Aang? And he was raised in the streets until Bayek found him."
"I am well aware of his lineage master Katara. But that still makes him a threat, this world has changed there is no need for Medjay and their ways anymore. And we have no idea what he's capable of!"
"And we will be there to guide him so he doesn't go to far. He's only 18 years old for spirits sake, all we can do for now is trust Bayek's judgment. He clearly saw something in Nanashi that you clearly don't." The leader only grumbled, and stalked off. The argument was over, for now.
At the stables Korra opened the gate and stepped in and imediatly went to hug her other best friend Naga, a 500 pound Polar bear dog. "Naga, you should have seen it!" Naga perked her eyes up as she saw her master, wagged her tail and trotted to Korrab resting her head on Korra's shoulder while she hugged Naga's head. "I kicked some firebender but, and I passed! Plus, Tenzin is will be hear for afew days."
Then a whistle was heard as a shriek was heard from the sky. Korra looked over to Nanashi who had his own best friend, a Bonelli's eagle who he named Senu, he shared a symbiotic relationship with it and he could somehow see what the bird saw if he concentraited hard enough. "So Tenzin is finally coming here again, huh?"
Korra smirked a bit, before turning to see her bestfriend/unofficial. "Yeah, he is. For me. Not for you."
"Really, that's strange. I always thought that I was his favorite over the two of us."
"Yeah right." The two then walked over to each other, and their lips met. As they broke the kiss, they looked into each others eyes. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think I do."
A few minutes later.
"Okay this is 'not' what I was thinking about." Nanashi commented as he sat on the saddle of Naga behind Korra.
"C'mon, it'll be fun. We haven't seen each other in a month. Let's go have fun!"
"Yeah, while I want to stay in the nice and warm indoors. You want to ride the back of this walking carpet." He responded a little bitterly. Which got Korra laughing.
As the three walked to the main gate, Korra called upon the gate guard. "Just taking Naga out for a stroll." But the guard only raised his eyebrow in suspision.
"Don't worry, wer're not going far." Korra said in a deflated tone. The guard nodded and opened the gate. As the three trotted, the guards shot Nanashi a look, who gave them an uncaring smile and gave them a salute.
As soon as they where far away enough, Korra muttered to Naga. "Naga, go." The Polar bear dog obeyed and went running at top speed.
"I can't wait to start my air-bending training." Korra said excitedly, as she and Dastan were riding on Naga across the tundra.
"Yep, in just two days you'll start your Airbending training with Tenzin, and you'll be on your way to becoming the Avatar."
"And you'll be my partner in crime doing our thing." Korra said as they grinned.
*Two days later*
A few days after sunset Katara, Korra, and Nanashi watched as a sky bison landed in the courtyard. As they approched they could hear one of Tenzins Daughters, Ikki repeteadly ask if they were there. And the strangest thing was a little boy chewing on Tenzin's head.
"Yes Ikki, as i've been telling you for the past fifteen minutes we are 'finally' here." and aftee Tenzin announced it Ikki and her older sister Jinora happily rode down tye bison's tail on air scooters while Tenzin simply choose to step down calmy, even if Meelo was chewing his head.
"Hello, mother" Tenzin greeted, his daughters on both sides of him while Meelo moved from chewing his head to pulling his ears. " I cannot tell you how happy I am to see you. Please, help me."
Laughing at her sons desperate plea Katara happily lifts Meelo of his fathers shoulders. But he didn't recognize the woman, he began to squirm demanding that the 'Strang woman' unhand him until Tenzin told him that Katara was his Grandmother. Meelo in a suprise display of nimblness pushes himself out off Katara's arms and over her head before running off to play in the snow.
"It's so good to see you all." Said Katara Lovingly.
" Gran Gran, I've been reading all about your old adventures." Jinora said in awe " I've been dying to ask you: What happened to Zuko's mom?"
"Well, Jinora, it's an incredible tale..." to her suprise Katara found herself interrupted by a bouncing Ikki, and said girl asked Katara a questions a minute. And Katara wasn't really sure what her youngest granddaughter was saying anymore, leaving Jinora to lower her head in shame. And as his daughters were occupied, Tenzin was helping his heavily pregnant wife Penma slide down their sky bison's tail.
"Tenzin stop doting on me. I'm not helpless, I'm just pregnant." Penma chided.
But Tenzin insisted to stay close, lovingly placing his hand along with Penma on her protruding stomach. Approaching her daughter-in-law Katara gave her a welcoming hug and then commented that the baby was strong much to Tenzin and Penma's delight. Though Penma was a little unhappy to hear that her baby was likely to be another air-bender and as if making a point, Meelo chose that moment to show his 'Snow-bending' by air blasting his mothers face.
"Were Tenzin and his siblings this crazy when they were kids?"
"Well Kya and Bumi certainly were. But Tenzin was rather serious."
"Mother, please" Tenzin pouted. But his mood quickly changed as he saw the patiently waiting Korra and Nanashi. He called them over he was really pleased that had grown strong and healthy. "Look at you both, you've really grown."
"Not doing so bad yourself, Tenzin. I see you've been grown that beard." Nanashi said smiling.
"Master Tenzin, I'm so glad you're here. I can't wait to get started." Korra said excitedly. But from the frown on Tenzin's face Nanashi knew he had bad news.
"Yes well..." Tenzin started Nervously. And Nanashi could by the look Tenzin had on his face that he really didn't want to dissapoint Korra.
"You're going to have to tell her sometime." Penma Prodded.
"Tell me what?" Korra asked sadly. But in the end Katara put it together.
"You aren't staying, are you?" she asked, but she already knew the answer.
" I'm afraid not" Tenzin sighed, he absolutly hated dissapointing his mother as much as Nanashi did. "Were only visiting for the night, then I have to return to republic city."
"But... No, You're supposed to move here. supposed to teach me." Korra said dissapointed.
"I'm sorry Korra, your training is going to have to wait."
The day after Tenzin and his family flew back to Republic city. With an
Meanwhile Nanashi and Korra watched from a cliff as the bison flew away. But if Nanashi knew anything about Korra, it is that she along with him were to stubborn to give up.
"What are you thinking?" Nanashi asked, giving her a suspicious look.
"Republic city. I'm going after Tenzin, If he can't train me here then I'll have to go to him." She angrily said as she began to get up and walk.
"So your just gonna leave then? You clearly didn't think this through, did you?"
"Don't try to stop me Nanashi! I have to do this." She said moving past him walking to the stables.
"I didn't say I was stopping you.." Korra turned, and gave him a very confused look.
"Who are you? And what have you done to my boyfriend?"
"Very funny, but seriously. We all know your probably going to die out there without me, since you lack any experience in the streets whatsoever. And since I'm Technically your boyfriend, I would be quite upset if you died. I'd have to find someone else to protect."
"There's the Nanashi I know and love." Korra said, smirking.
So, they waited until the dead of night and met up in Naga's stable, they were just getting her saddle on the Polarbear-dog until they heard an all to familiar voice call out to them.
"Nice day for an escape isn't it?" Katara who had a brown sack asked suprisingly coly, as if she expected this.
"I have to leave. I have to find my own path as the Avatar." Korra explained, hoping that she would understand.
"I know you do. Aang's time has past. My brother and many of my friends are gone. It's time you two and your generation to take over the responsibility of keeping peace and balance in the world." Katara dropped the bag and pulled the two into a hug. " I think you're going to be a great Avatar, Korra. And you be sure take care of her my little Warrior." The teens then retracted from the hug.
"Goodbye Korra." Katara said weakly. Korra then jumped into the hole Naga dug for them. But before Nanashi did he walked to Katara and huged her tightly. "Thank you for everything." He then lept into the hole, which was instantly covered by Korra bending the snow. As they made their way to the compound, they had one more stop to make before the docks.
They arrived at Korra's house, he stayed behind while Korra spoke to her parents.
"Mom, dad. I'll miss you." He then saw Korra imbrace her parents. He just sat there watching thinking of what his parents would say, if they were still alive.
"Nanashi!" Tonraq yelled. "Protect my daughter. Help her with anything she may need. Please."
"I promise." Dastan yelled back. The the three eventually made it to the harbor and caught a ship headed to Republic city.
*The next day*
The next Morning Korra awoke to the sound of moving metal which signaled their arrival.
"Were here." Korra said with excitment, she woke up Naga but when she found Nanashi sleeping on a crate across from her she was suprised to see Dastan still sleeping with a watertribe made compisite bow on his back with a quiver of arrows and dao sword that had a katana like blade and subtle guard from his mother with an eagle head design at the pommel and the handle wrapped around in blue grip bandages, sheathed on the back of his waist.
While Korra was impressed by his new weapons, she decided that admiring the weapons was over. So deciding to mess with him, used nearby water and splashed him in the face makimg his black/red hair completely soaked and jolting him awake.
"Really Korra?!" Nanashi said, growling from his rude awakening and silently ploting revenge.
Korra only rolled her eyes "Don't be such a baby. We're here!" This made Nanashi get out of his slightly annoyed phase and the two friends smiled as they mounted Naga and came bursting out of the ship, knocking over afew dockworkers on their way to the city.
Not having left the south pole, the friends quickly turned into tourist looking at everything in intrest from the tall skyscrapers to the countless number of satomobiles. But what truly left them speechless was the sight of Avatar Aangs memorial, a giant statue on an island in the middle of the bay.
"Hey, that must be air temple island." said Nanashi, pointing to the small island not far from memorial island.
"That's were Tenzin lives. You ready for a little swim, girl." Korra asked Naga. But the Polar bear dog was sniffing around the air.
"I think she has other plans." Nanashi stated as he held on tight knowing what will come next.
Naga followed her nose, and took off running down the street in search for the source. "Okay, Okay! First food then air temple."
It was all she could do as she held on tight as Naga ran through the stree Narrowly dodging trucks along the way.
Korra apologized when Naga accidently slammed into a Satomobile nearly tiping it over. Eventually the polar bear dog entered a city square lined with diffrent shops and stands. Following her nose, Naga approached a small food stand and stuck her head inside and frightened the owner.
Entering the stands themselves Korra and Nanashi tried to see what types of meat the lady had which basically solved the mystery of why Naga went wild. Nanashi pulled Naga outside while Korra inquired about getting a few kabobs. But unfortunately neither of them had any money to their name and the shopkeeper wasn't to pleased about that and they were forced to find other means of food.
The local park*
Finding food wasn't a difficult task when they found a local park with a pond full of fish. Nanashi was throwing spears at the fish, Senu caught some too and Korra cooked them with her fire-bending. And while they were enjoying their lunch a local hobo was looking through the bushed. Nanashi noticed this and moved his eyes to the hobos direction.
"Uh, Korra." He said, getting his friends attention she looked to were he was looked and she also found the hobo which startled her.
"Uh, say, think I can get one of those tasty-smelling fishies?" he asked, they could see he was practically drooling by the sight of food.
"Sure." Nanashi replied, happily tossing the kind hobo a fried fish. He and Korra were surprised by how fast one man could furiously eat a fish, they could tell he was hungry so from the kindness of his heart tossed him another one . " So,what's your name?"
"The names Gommu, friend." he introduced, taking a brief moment from eating his food.
Korra then awkwardly asked Gommu if he lived in that bush, and he didn't have any problems with the question and informed them that not only did he live in that bush but the park was very poplar amongst the other homeless. "So there are a lot of you out here? And I thought everyone in this city was living it up."
"You two got a lot to learn, newcomers welcoming to republic city." Well that ruined their idealistic view on republic city life. They didn't have time ponder this as the sound of a whistle alerted them to the approaching and rather angry police officer; apparently fishing wasn't allowed.
So with Gommu retreating to his bush Nanashi and Korra decided it was time to go jumped on Naga and made a getaway, they soon found themselves utterly lost wondering the park.
They wondered aimlessly until they noticed a crowd of citizens gathered in front of a man with a megaphone, a poster of a masked man on a board behind him.
"Are you tired of living under the tyranny of benders?" Then join the Equalist!" the protestor rallied. "For too long, the bending elite of this city have forced nonbenders to live as lower class citizens. Join Amon, and together we will tear down the bending establishment!"
"What're you talking about?" Korra questioned. "Bending's the coolest thing in the world." The protestor wasn't even impressed.
"Oh yeah? Let me guess you two are benders?"
"N, she is I'm not." Nanashi corrected. The protestor obviously didn't expect that and their friendship wasn't really making him look good.
"Well I bet your friend here would love to knock me off this platform with some water-bending."
"I'm seriously considering it." said Korra buying into the man's planned provocation.
"Ha You see! This is what's wrong with with this city! Benders like this girl only use their power to opress us!" The man had succesfully whiped the crowed into a frenzy and thing weren't looking good for the young Avatar.
"Let's go Korra, there is no reason arguing with them." Nanashi said placing a hand her shoulder.
"Argh get out of here traitor!" one person from the crowed yelled. If one example of a nonbender and a bender being friends wasn't enough for these people, then what was the point?
After leaving the park Nanashi and Korra had decided to give the poor Naga a break from carrying them and they walked down the street on their own. The two still didn't know where Airbender island was, but luckly they found a young man and an old woman they approached the couple and ththankfully the old lady was nice enough to help them. But then a racing red Satomobile pulled up.
"You two should get moving. It's not safe here." The woman cautioned leaving the two to find somewhere to hide.
The vehichle stopped infront of a phonogragh shop, three thuggish looking gangsters stepped out of the car and approached the frightened shop owner.
"Mr. Chung, please tell me you have my money..." The leader, a man dressed in a blue buisness suit said with sarcasm. "Or else I can't guarantee I can protect your fine establishment." And to make his point across the gangster signaled for his partner a man in a black leather Jacket and red Scarf stepped forward igniting a small fire in his hand.
"I'm sorry, buisness has been slow. Please take one of my phonographs." But the gangsters still wanted their money and the fire bender made it clear when he set the phonograph on fire with a fire kick, destroying it.
"My friend here isn't a music lover. Give me the money, or else..."
"Or else what, hoodlum." Korra interrupted drawing the thugs attention to her and Dastan.
"Really, Hoodlum?" Dastan remarked plafully giving her a skeptical look.
"Well since you two are obviously fresh off the boat, let me.explain a couple of things." the gang leader condensended. "You and your boyfriend are in Triad territory and we're about to put you and your boyfriend in the hospital."
"And I suggest you leave these people alone before 'You' end up in the emergency room." Dastan said in a threatening voice.
"And for your sakes I hope there's one nearby." Korra said confidently, cracking her knuckles.
Clearly pissed off by their casual adittude the leader bent a water bullet at the duo but Korra not only caught it easily in one hand but redirected it back at him, freezing the water that had made contact with his head. Blinded by the clock of ice the water-bender staggered to Korra's spin kick that sent him crashing head first into the hood of his car knocking him hurt.
"That had to hurt." Nanashi said sarcastically.
Angered that someone would dare challenge them the earthbender of the group moved to attack Korra only for Nanashi to nimbly vaulted over the earthbenders head and using his Hookblade threw him to a nearby fruitstand.
The final thug released a stream of fire at Nanashi trying to burn the young warrior into a crisp but Korra came to his rescue and deflected the blast. She then grabed his hands and threw him to Nanashi who quickly spun kicked the man into the window of a nearby shop.
Done with their handywork the two fistbumped in victory. But their victory was quickly cut short, as tge two saw the sight of the Metal Bending Police Force's using cables to safely decend from their ship, and arrested the Triple Threat Triad members. Their proud faces quickly fell as the officer said they were under arrest to, because of the destruction they caused.
So obviously they didn't want to spend an entire night in a cell so they quickly hopped on Naga and made a run for it. But their efforts were in vain as they were eventually captured and brought to police headquarters for questioning.
*A few minutes later.*
Korra and Nanashi were being questioned by Lin Beifong the daughter of Toph Beifong and current chief of police. While Korra tried to explain herself all the metal bender did was say how much trouble they were in for the destruction of property and ownership of weapons.
Soon Tenzin came and convinced Lin to drop the charges against them. She agreed if only Tenzin gets the two out of her city.
"I'm guessing we didn't make good impressions." The Young Warrior remarked.
"Yep, she decided she totally hates us." said Korra.
Tenzin then informed them that he was taking them back to the South pole.
"What?! But Katara completly supported us." Korra protested.
"Don't bring my mother into this!" Tenzin snapped with his face red as a tomato. And dejectedly the two fell silent. After collecting Naga, they all made their way to Air Temple Island where a White Lotus ship waited for them.
They prepared to board the ship but were suprised by the arrival of Tenzin's kids gliding down to meet them.
"Are you guys going to live with us?" asked Ikki excited.
"No sorry but we're going home" Korra replied with sadness.
"Sorry kid, maybe next time." Nanashi said with a sad smile as he ruffled the young air benders hair much to her annoyance.
While that was going on Tenzin watched as his children bowed their heads in dissapointment, he couldn't help but think back to Korra's conviction that Republic city needed her there as well. He looked at his fathers memorial and with a sigh he had made his decision.
"I have done my best to guide Republic city toward toward the dream my father had for it, but you're right, Korra. Things have fallen out of balance since he passed. I thought I should hold off your training to uphold his legacy. But you are his legacy. You may stay and train air-bending here with me. Republic citt needs its avatar once again. And Nanashi you may stay as well, I'm sure I couldn't send you back even if I tried."
"Yes!" She cheered, Korra then grabbed them all into a tight group hug, with Tenzin only sighing.
"You'll get usef to it... Eventually." Nanashi said.
Things were now finally looking up.
The next day Korra was baisically forced to announce her Avatar identity in a press conference.
But what they didn't know was that something will change Republic city for better or for worst.
phew, Finally! I'm done with this chapter.
Yes I rewrote the character and replaced him with Nanashi from 'Sword of the stranger.'
Leave questions in the reviews and I'll answer them the best I can.
Just expect diffrent revelations involving the history of spirits and The Avatar.
Some chapters might be adaptations to the fan comics i've seen.
Have a nice day! And if your in school good luck!
