Authors Comments before you begin reading:
During my time reading this one book, by George RR Martin; A Game of Thrones, I became rather fascinated by the medieval times. I'm sure many Fanfiction stories of the Digidestined might consist of this timeline. You can only wonder, but, since I'm traditionally known for always putting a 'twist' into things, why not put a twist into my stories?
This is where my crossover takes place, the Digidestined find themselves in this weird timeline, without their digimon. And only themselves, in a 'bending world' yes.. This story is a crossover with.
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Of course, we might see appearances of our favorite characters, but that will soon come in time.
I hope you enjoy this, and of course, the shippings, might come later. Just keep on reading.
'I couldn't exactly tell you how I had got here, or rather, how everyone else did. All I know is that, we were fighting this one particular digimon with our digital friends. And, something happened, I'm guessing it was a spell. He shouted in some weird tongue language, a language I had no yet become knowledgeable upon at the time. Anyways, before we all knew it, we were getting flung back and sucked inside this whirl pool of some sort. I still need to do my research upon it, but, I somehow got separated from this group, on this weird mystical and sandy temple. There were people doing their day to day things, but, surprisingly, one of them had conjured air right from their hand. Definitely I was shocked, and from that moment on, I knew I, and the other's had stumbled upon an alternate universe. So from this moment on, that was when our longest, and prodigious, journey began.'
The laughter of the children, running and giggling all around them filled the ears of the teens. Well, most of them. Only three were present with one another, the others hopefully didn't get sent off on another planet. They couldn't possibly check for some sign on a laptop or digivice, they had been completely transformed! Tai struggled to get up, and was helped by Sora who gaped at the sight her good friend was in. Tai gently rubbed the side of his head, having Sora's nails dig into his soft fleshy tan skin.
"W-what happened?" Tai questioned breathlessly, his eyes now focusing on everything around him.
Sora looked to her ginger friend who was flat on his feet standing as if he had never fallen through a portal or anything at all.
"Well, I'm not really sure to be honest. I couldn't look to the PiBook for help. It seems we had been completely transformed." Izzy responded dusting off the little bit of dirt that managed to find its way onto his cloth pants.
Sora was stressed in cloth as well, a blue color, with glittery and shiny waves of a pattern threaded in the seams. A shiny clip which had a symbol embroided in its crest, glimmering in the sun light that was high above them.
As for Tai, he wore something on the red side, expect a different symbol was in the crest which glimmered. Getting back onto his feet, Sora let go flustered at the marks of her fingers left on his skin. Rubbing his arm Tai looked around, "I don't see anyone else, you think they made it here?" he questioned giving up his thoughts, and saying them out loud.
Sora looked around, people swarming them, some dirty, and others dressed in fine clothing. "Maybe.. We can only hope that they made it here."
"In the mean time we should explore this unidentified world." Izzy commented as the other two nodded, that sounded like a good idea. Sora had only noticed the clothing now, she was wearing pants of course, but she looked to Tai, saw his, and Izzy who wore the exact same thing. Many on the street wore different colors, a yellowish color, and some green. What did they mean?
"Where do you think we are?" Sora questioned as people stared at them, they kinda did stand out, with Tai and his big bushy brown hair, let's just say the hair was the one thing that made them stand out.
In the corner, a man with all black clothing, and a silk of black covering his mouth, his dark brown eyes only visible, he turned his mouth to his shoulder as he watched the three pass by.
"They made it Master." The man spoke to his shoulder.
'Good.. have the others wait and see who joins them before you attack, understood?'
"Yes Master, I'll put out the order." He spoke back to the man's voice.
Meanwhile, Tai Kamiya drooled over some of the dumplings they had on display, he slurped licking his lips as Sora pulled him away, he frowned and groaned.
"Soraaa." He said in his whiny voice.
Sora scoffed and continued to pull him by the collar, "We have to find clues, and look around. We don't have money to buy anything." She said with a small sigh.
Izzy stopped abruptly at some weird symbols on a plaque; gently placing his pale thin fingers on the stone he felt them.
"Wow Izzy, I had no idea you could read and speak brail." Tai said nodding as Sora quirked her brow at him, he shrugged and tilted his head.
Izzy seemed to concentrated to hear the snide stupid comment, his eyes opening wider, "If only I had my PiBook I could decipher this language, I can only make out a few words.. but even still that won't due." He spoke either to himself, or Tai and Sora.
Sora stepped forward and bent her knees at a 90 degree angle, her hands sitting comfortable on her skinny knees. "Well, what can you make out Izzy?" she asked staring at the symbols, but made out nothing, she wasn't good at this at all.
"It says something along the lines of this; 'An element which we poses, run in the veins of this old city. The avatar is the one that can.. Poses all four.. Elements, It is he who shall save us, and he who shall watch over us." Izzy finished and realized, he had read the whole plaque.
Sora smiled at him, but after gave a confused look, "Who's the avatar?" she questioned to herself, and placed her index finger against her lips.
Tai bent down and looked at the symbols, "Elements? What does that mean Izzy?" he wondered, Izzy who had a strained look on his face was obviously piecing this together. It all seemed familiar.
"Well, this avatar must be this world 'God' and the elements are obviously a legend, we all can be connected with out elements. But not to the point where you can control that specific element." Izzy responded still thinking, a hand was placed on his shoulder and he nearly leaped out of his skin.
"Gah!" he shouted, as Sora and Tai gasped at his side.
The older man, with his silver long beard only chuckled, his flesh hanging off his bones, as his wrinkled skin shook from the laughter that escaped his mouth.
"My, you must be non-benders, or tourists, which one?" he questioned with a chuckle at the three, who stared at him wide eyed.
They had nothing really to say, until the man frowned and looked around, he beckoned them as this seemed to become a more serious matter.
"Come with me, quickly." He spoke in a rushed tone.
The 'digidestined' were lead to an old shack, where the man took them in and closed the door frantically. He looked around and lit his oil lamp, burning incense as he did so.
"Have a seat." He said in a gentle tone, seeming as they must have been safe now, from whatever it was out there. They all sat down on his coach, baffled by this whole world.
Setting out tea, and biscuits for them, the smell of the butter cheese biscuits, but also the smoggy air from the incense in the dimly lit room they now sat in. Everything had happened so fast for Sora to even understand. Something happened, and all too quickly. It was bad enough that Izzy barely comprehended, but, next minute their falling, and the next their inside a shack.
Tai felt it would be rude not to drink the green tea, so he sipped at it cautiously. The heat lifting into his nostrils, the room had so many fragrances; his nose didn't know what to smell first, until the man leaned in closer and said in a hushed shaken voice.
"Who are you?" he questioned, more directly to anyone of them.
Tai straightened his back, and placed the cup down, "I'm T-" Sora's arm leaned over Izzy's shoulder, leaving chills on his back and neck as he was rather close to her. But Sora placed a hand on Tai's neck and dug her nails into his skin. Tai gasped and he smiled wryly, as he cleared his throat, his voice going into different pitches at tears stung his eyes, which he blinked back quickly so no one could notice them.
"Well, you see-" Tai said before Izzy butted in.
"We're tourist sir, more from the northern part of the realm." Izzy said still feeling awkward by Sora's arm on his shoulders.
The man raised a brow, "I see only one water tribe member in your group. Why did you come from the north?"
Sora gulped as well did Izzy, he chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck, at a loss for words for once in his life.
Sora smiled and removed her arm from around Izzy's neck, as it sent him to sigh and slouch once more. "Well, you see, they were visiting me as we decided to come to this city. It's quite beautiful."
"Ah, only a tourist would think that. This city isn't what it used to be." He spoke waving his arm carelessly. "Ever since they took hold of it.. it just hasn't been the same." He said with a small sigh, his skin waving at his neck at them. "I know you aren't from this world.." he said staring at them.
They all had sat upright, staring into the man's dark face, his eyes shaken and watery.
"I can tell from the gods saying so.." he said with a small curious tone.
Izzy leaned forward, "What can you tell us about this place?" he asked at the man's eyes averted towards the ground and he nodded.
"I'll tell you.. everything." He said in a hushed voice.
"The avatar rules the earth, resorting peace and balance between the four nations. Avatar Aang who was once a young boy, has restored that peace. But, with the terror of the nation's having the possibly fight over war, some are dividing. While other's are using their power for evil." He said in a shiver, Tai had gotten the impression that this man had suffered a great deal.
"The ones that are weak, are being forced into slavery, while plenty run in terror, other's fight and die. Aang has tried to stop this, but, the man who's trying to rule Republic City, is a rare man who can… blood bend."
Sora clasped a hand over her mouth, finally finding her voice she spoke up and said; "So, there really are benders for the four elements?"
The older man nodded and sat with a hunch, "I can water bend, my techniques are at beginners. But, we are forbid to bend here in this part of the city. The poor people cannot afford this license we need, only the rich can bend."
Tai stood up, "That's not right!"
"Shh! Quiet down." The old man hushed Tai, who embarrassingly sat back down and sighed.
"Why are they doing that..?" Tai asked in a more serene voice.
The older man proceeded in the questions, "Well, you see, they believe that bending should be something sacred. Nothing something the poor should be able to do, so, the man who is all behind this, has been getting his way. A license is required to pay, and pass, so you can bend outside and inside city limits." He said with a small shake of his head.
"The avatar is trying to put a stop to this, but, we don't know how many years he has left before he passes. He's been getting ill."
Izzy thought, a hand clasped over his mouth, "Hmm.. so, does that mean we have these abilities too?" he questioned curiously, still thinking about tactics and ways to stop this.
The man nodded, "Your symbols of the elements engraved in your stone can tell you, followed by the color of your cloth." He stood up, his hands folded across one another; as he dusted off from a shelf, a scroll.
Sitting back down he unraveled it and pointed to the fire symbol, "Earth." He said, and looked up at them as they nodded.
"Air"
"Fire" he said and pointed to the symbol, and to Izzy and Tai's chest, and repeated "Fire benders"
Tai smiled and just thought about his digimon, that's right, Agumon must be fighting hat terrible digimon right now. They're probably hurt! He looked up at Izzy and Sora, who clearly could read his face, as his thoughts were visible on it.
"Our digimon.." Tai spoke in a hushed voice, as Izzy nodded. "There's nothing we can do now, expect find a way back there, and hopefully, home." He said looking to Sora who nodded.
The man leaned back and lastly pointed to Sora "Water." She stared back at him and smiled, "Thank you sir.. for telling us about this world, but we best be going off to find our other friends."
The man stood as they did as well, "Wait." He said quickly as they turned to look at him.
"I have something for you.." he said and scrambled into his case, pulling out a scroll. "It's a map for your journey, I don't know why, but the gods are telling me.. You are the ones that must help the avatar and save what has become of this city."
Tai took the scroll and grinned, nodding, "Don't worry sir, we'll save this world." He said with a nod before he took off out the door with the others.
The older man sighed and looked at the wall where the statue of their religious god sat, "I hope you know what you're doing.." he said with a small nod.
"Ouchie.. That hurt my bum.." Mimi complained as Joe grunted and sniffed, "Next time were falling, remind me to move out of the way of you all."
T.K looked up and chuckled, "Oh, sorry Joe. We'll get off you." T.K slid off of the poor older teen, as well did Kari, and his brother. Mimi brushed herself off and sighed looking to the sky.
"My.. how pretty." She spoke in a delighted tone, as the sun was shining just above her.
Matt lifted Joe to his feet and he fixed his glasses so they sat on his nose perfectly. "Where'd the others go off to..?" Matt questioned and looked around, as a hustle and bustle of people was around them. They stared curiously at them, seeing as they fell from the sky.
Mimi frowned, "Well where do you think we are?"
Kari's eyes widened staring at her outfit; it was different than what she had on before. T.K sighed and ran his fingers through his hair "We're definitely not in the digital world anymore that for sure."
Mimi nearly screamed at her outfit, "Oh no, it's green!" he said pulling at the fabric of her pants, her hair its regular brown color once again.
"Shh!" Joe hushed, "Keep it down, act casual." He said as Matt pulled them all down an alley way.
Gasping they caught themselves from nearly falling, Kari looked at them, "Well, they are people they don't look that evil to me."
Matt frowned, "First we need to think why we're wearing different clothes, and find Tai, Sora, and Izzy."
Joe looked up at Matt as they were all huddled around, "I like that plan, it sounds safe."
T.K looked to Kari who nodded, "We need to think this out first, what if this place really is dangerous?"
Mimi bit on her fingernails, "Is that what's really worrying you all? I'm worried about my green outfit! Matt, your green color suites you, but it's a little too much of a softer color. T.K, aren't you worried about the yellow and orange cape of yours? Kari? And Joe, that blue sure brings out the color of your hair, but clashes with the color of it." She said with a shake of her head, was that what she was worried about?
Matt's face completely fell and he sighed, "That doesn't matter! We need to find the others and fast."
"Oh? I don't think so.." A man in black, spoke walking from the alleyway.
Mimi rolled her eyes, "My, everywhere we turn there always seems to be trouble." She said and huffed.
Kari stepped back, "Mimi, this is no time to joke. This time we won't let the danger near us, I think it's best if we-"
"RUN!" Matt and T.K shouted at the same time, "GRAB A PARTNER!"
Matt hooked his arm around Mimi's and ran with her as she nearly screamed, T.K hooked his arm with Kari's, but while running Kari tried to reach for Joe but missed, taking off with a running T.K.
Joe gasped and looked at the Man, "U-Uh, we didn't mean to come down your alleyway.. I'll be, going now." He said nervously, before the man lifted his hand and Joe gasped falling to the ground, his elbows cracking in ward, the tense muscles straining and pulsing out of his skin.
"P-please!" he said in a grunted voice.
"Your mine." The man said, his right hand lifted in the air, and he used a swift potion bringing it down, sending Joe to a bow in the dirt. His hands straining at his sides.
"Nyaaah." Joe panted and struggled as he felt something weird in his veins, his blood.. it was moving? This man somehow controlled him.
"You can hurt me; just don't hurt the others..!" Joe gasped trying to find words, which he no longer felt.
The man chuckled as his eyes steamed with anger, and loathing; "Oh, I don't think I can promise such a thing. You don't think I know who you are? I want what you have..
"Joe."

Sorry, I had to go through the whole back story; to make the other's knowledgeable on the subject of bending. But I hope you liked the first chapter so far, I know you can't merely judge on the first chapter.
I just want to know what you guys think so far, and if you want me to continue it. I figured it'd be fun to make this a longer story/fiction than the rest of my stories.
Anyways please review, favorite.. etc. For your convenience I'll write who has what element in case you became lost. There's a reason I chose these people to have these specific elements. And you'll find out later on throughout the story!
Tai: Fire
Izzy: Fire
Sora: Water
Matt: Earth
T.K: Air
Mimi: Earth
Kari: Air
Joe: Water
