Avatar: Legend of the Ring
I don't Own LOTR or Avatar! Enjoy
Chapter 1
After the war had ended, team avatar split and went back to their normal lives. However from time to time they made a monthly gathering so that they can still catch up with one another. And in a few days time would be the monthly gathering they each look forward to. It has been 5 years since the war ended. And team avatar had grown from children to mature teenagers.
Aang, Appa, Momo
"Come on Appa! Wake up! We gotta get flying! I don't want to be late to meet our friends!" Aang now has a temple for the airbenders. With him being the leader of course. After the war with the fire lord Ozai, Aang went across the world and decided to look for potential airbenders should there be any.
Aang was still bald but he grew taller to six foot five and had a lean body but was toned well. He had mastered each of the element as an avatar yet he wasn't as good as his masters. But the avatar was glad at that. He preferred his friends to be better in their element then him as it didn't make them any less superior compared to him. His strongest bending was still air. He could make a hurricane so powerful that it would drill through any earth. And only one earth bender could make a barricade strong enough to hold against him. His powers in air bending was unlimited! More than ever (A/N:gotta wait for an action to know what it is *snickers*)
He was in luck when during one of his visit to the southern air temple, he came across a group of children bandits that were residing there. They tried to rob him.
Flashback
"Give us all your belongings now baldie!" threatened a boy not more than 2 years younger than him. Aang stared at them dumbly as he read their emotions through their eyes, scanning through each of them briefly. "Their scared" was all he thought about. With a flick of his staff, he blew their weapons of their hands and used earthbending to cuff their arms and legs to the grown before staring down at them in mocking malice. Over the years after the war, our playful avatar had grew to learn to mask his true self and held himself tall with pride and power as did all of his other friends. He would not risk showing others his playful side except with his friends.
The children had fear in their eyes. Not only had the older teenager knocked their weapons out from their hands with airbending, but he also cuffed them with earthbending. And they all knew one person was able to bend more than one element. And that person was the Avatar.
Eyes widen with terror, the leader of the group scowled at Aang, "Release them! you can do anything you want! As long as you let the rest go!" he was putting up a strong front, however Aang could see the boy was as afraid as the others.
He sighed heavily before staring at them once more. "I will let all of you go." They each stared at him with hope in their eyes. "But, you have to promise you won't try to attack me and turn over a new leaf." Each nodded their head quickly except their leader.
The boy narrowed his eyes at Aang, "And how do you expect us to turn over a new leaf. People don't accept us out there. And we've been stealing and robbing for as long as we can remember."
Aang chuckled softly at the boy, "Hey, what's your name kid?"
The boy stared at him, seeming to be thinking, "Riku." Aang nodded his head before smiling and freeing them from the earth bending.
"I'm going to revive my air bending temple. How bout you start from there Riku? I'll teach you how to air bend. And if none of you can bend any of the elements, I'll teach you how to fend for yourselves should you come to need to. Only if you promise to use them for good." Shocked but slightly moved, Riku stared at his other friends whom he had taken the responsibility over and had considered as family. they each looked eager at the offer as he did. He snapped back to Aang and nodded his head excitedly.
"Great! My name's Aang and dontcha forget it!"
Flashback end
Aang gave one last look to his fellow students Riku, Anya, Evol, Suya and Tobi as they helped train their fellow trainees in airbending and martial arts. Aang had left the temple in Riku's dependable hands each time he went off to meet his friends.
"Appa, Yip Yip!" the bison took off in a jump as he soared through the sky, making their way to Ba Sing Se.
Katara, Toph Suki and Sokka
"Kataraaaaa how long do we have to get there! Can't Toph just earth bend us there?! My legs are giving wayyyyy" whined an annoying voice that belonged to Sokka. He was grating on Katara's nerves ever since they left with Toph from her house. The siblings didn't return to the south pole after the war and decided to stay with Toph ever since they decided to make a monthly meeting at Jasmine Dragon, Iroh's tea shop.
After a year of returning to the earth kingdom, Toph decided to open an academy for Earth and Water Benders. Something for both the girls to do while they were staying there to earn money. Sokka decided to join after a few months and being broke. He taught the non-benders to be warriors, to sword fight and martial arts.
At first the others were skeptical since Sokka wasn't a bender and they thought that the young man couldn't do much. But they were proven wrong when Sokka beat the commander of the Earth Kingdom Military with his skill against the Earth Bender. Ever since then, Sokka was seen in a new light by the people there.
The academy was a success and every now and then, Suki would help out with training the female non-benders how to fight. Soon, she had become a full-time teacher at the academy. Her relationship with Sokka however didn't go as others would have hoped. They became best friends but not more than that.
Sokka, however became very close to Toph, seeing that most of the times he would spent time with her since Katara would often go have girls time with Suki. And being Toph, she wasn't into girly things and she often hang out with Sokka. Each of them had grown out from their childish forms.
Toph now stood five foot six, her hair was still in a bun and had her signature green scarf on her head. But the short, childish Toph had grown into a lovely lady. Her body had filled out in every part it needed. Her chest wasn't too big but neither was it small. She had a curvaceous body and long beautiful legs. She wore a gold and green tunic, much like her old ones but the green was darker. However her clothing hid dangerous weapons that Sokka had insisted she carry in case the enemy was too close. She had a dagger on her thigh each and short swords in each of her sleeve. Her rough attitude had mellowed down but she could still kick ass. Besides, she was the strongest earth bender in the world.
Sokka now stood six foot eight, his body was more toned. It wasn't bulky. His body seemed scrawny beneath the clothes but it was harder than a rock. His movements in battle were swifter and deadlier. Over the years, he had become a master in weapons, being able to use any weapon thrown to him. Beneath his clothes were four small daggers on his chest and two kunai's in each of his boots. He had his favourite sword on his hip and boomerang. A long sword he had crafted himself was strapped on his back. He was also now the best blacksmith across the land.
Katara is the same as she was years ago except that she was taller and had lean muscle with training from Toph and Suki. She too, carries small daggers her brother made sure she had on her everywhere. She wore her hair in a braid. She had a small bottle of water strapped on her hip with her sword for healing since she could bend water from the air. She had a bow and arrow strapped on her back. Sokka had made them himself. Feeling touched and honored by her brother's gesture, she made sure to bring her weapons everywhere. It almost became a necessity for her.
Suki no longer wore the thick geisha makeup whenever she went to warrior mode. It was too much of a hassle. She had Sokka make her armor more fashionable. So that it won't seem to be like an armor. It now had a more normal clothing look to it. Suki had her katana on her hip and kunai's in her sleeve.
Simply said, all the weapons that team avatar had, were specially made by Sokka with rare materials they gathered from their travel in the past.
Finally they reached Jasmine Dragon and were greeted by a warm smile of a man in red garments that was actually an armor that he too had Sokka made. His black hair was in a mess but it was his normal look. The man was seven foot tall and though he seemed harmless, beneath his armor was shurikens and kunai's as sharp as Sokka's. As he side stepped to welcome them in, two beautifully crafted swords were on his waist. It had a gold and silver hilt. The swords were fire proof.
"Hey guys, Aang's here." Zuko smiled warmly at them before turning to guide them to their normal seat. Zuko had learned how to channel not only his fire and lightning into his weapon, making it more deadlier than ever. His could fly with his fire from his legs instead of his fists like last time. And he could bend lightning even without the storm like his uncle. He could engulf himself in fire and lightning. He could even bend lightning to earth and send a shockwave to his enemies. He was indeed the most terrifying and strongest firebender in the land.
But the most terrifying of all was that each of the benders from team avatar could summon the strongest dragons of their element. Aang with Air dragon, Toph with Earth Dragon, Zuko with Fire dragon and Katara with Water dragon. They each made a contract with the dragons and became close companions with them. They trained with the ancient dragons to strengthen themselves. The dragons could manifest into smaller version so that they can be ridden by their companions if needed to.
Each of the dragons gave one of their fangs to Sokka so that he could make a powerful weapon that could use their element through the weapon. Sokka wasted no time when he was given the materials and set off to work on his new sword for him and Suki. He made his sword from the fire and water dragon and Suki's from Earth and Air. Each trained hard with their new weapon and soon was able to control the element much like a normal bender.
When team avatar finally sat together around the table, each began asking how the other was and telling tales of the new things that had happened to them. When a loud thunder was heard crashing atop of their roof.
Aang stared wearily outside the window. "I've got a bad feeling about this." Each of them nodded in silence when a hurricane whirled around them dangerously, sweeping each of them up into the air.
"TWINKLE TOES! DO SOMETHING!" Toph earth bended and shot an arm to each of her friends and held onto them as long as possible. Aang tried his best to bend the hurricane away but was unable to. "I can't!"
"What you mean by you can't?! You're the avatar!" Sokka was panicking as he held onto the rock arm that seemed to be peeling apart.
They each tried to bend their element when their fellow companions whispered in their ears. Let go my friends. It seems another world needs your assistance. Do not worry. It is good magic that will take us there to the world of evil. You are needed once more in a war team avatar.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Sokka screamed but in his heart he had made up his mind. Silently he stared at his friends. Each nodding softly before reaching up to grab hold of each other's arm. Toph released themselves as Aang placed them in an air sphere as they allowed themselves to be sucked into the hurricane and into a portal that seem to bring them to a world in need of their help.
"the ring cannot be destroyed by metal, Gimli son of Gloin. By any craft we possess here." The elf glared at the brash dwarf who seem to shrink beneath his glare. "The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this."
Boromir disagreed almost immediately, "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever-watchful. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire, and ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with 10,000 men could you do this. It is folly."
Legolas snapped, "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The Ring must be destroyed."
Gimli growled and stood. "And I suppose you think you are the one to do it?"
"And if we fail? What then?" Boromir retorted. "What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?"
"I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf! Never trust an Elf!" Gimli growled
This rose and uproar amongst the council when all of a sudden the sky darkened and there was a rip in the air right above their heads. "What sorcery is this?!" demanded Boromir
"This must be the walk of the dark lord!" screamed the shorty dwarf.
Elrond stared incredulously at the rip above them. As convenient as it was to blame it on the dark lord, he felt no evil from it. "Mithrandir." He snapped and looks at the wizard.
"It seems to be a portal my lord. It doesn't have the taint of evil of Sauron. I believe Iluvatar is behind this." Elrond seem to nod and stared at the portal.
In what seem like forever, voices were heard from the portal that silences the council. "Look! There's light there! Thank god we're finally getting out of this dark place!" Whined a male voice.
"Seems like whoever asks for our help doesn't know the meaning of comfortable ride." Said another voice that belonged to a woman.
"Come on Toph, it wasn't that bad. Besides, from what I heard, it seems that another war needs our help to defeat the dark lord thingy." Another male voice said. Which seem to calm the minds of the council when he said they were to help defeat the dark lord.
As if on cue, the owners of the voices popped out from the portal in a sphere of air and landed swiftly on their legs. The council stared wearily and curiously at the newcomers. The strangers in turn stared at them. They were but teenagers!
One was bald, clad in orange with an arrow on his head and hands. The other male was in red, had black hair and a huge scar on his left side of his face. The last male was in blue clothing with swords on his hip and had his arm crossed over his chest as he glared wearily at the council. There were three females too. The eldest of the ladies was in black and green clothing and had a sword on her hip, beside her was a lady in blue with a beautiful white bow on her back and her brown hair was tied in a braid. The youngest but tallest of the girls was in green and gold tunic that was made richly and was on par with the elves clothings. But her eyes seemed to be empty which somehow made some of the council shudder.
"who are you?!" Boromir demanded with his sword unsheathed, he pointed it threateningly to the group of teenagers and took an intimidating step forward towards the guy in blue.
The boy just stared at him with a look that said, 'are-you-kidding-me?'
"Sokka, try not to start a fight." The girl in blue said. They looked alike and the council silently agreed that the two were siblings.
Sokka waved his hand, dismissingly towards his younger sister as he stopped slouching and stood straight. He glared at Boromir before speaking, "If you think your ugly sword is going to scare me, dude you are wrong." He once again crossed his arms and huffed at Boromir which earn snickers from the elves.
Boromir was baffled. The child showed no fear when threatened and instead he told him off. Feeling insulted, Boromir dashed towards the boy with no real intention of hurting him but just scaring him to put him in place. He swung his sword towards his neck but aimed further away to miss. But instead of scratching the boy, his sword was met with another.
The blade was white in colour with silver hilt. It had a dragon head atop of its hilt. And its eyes seem to glow blue. Boromir was about to jump back but realized he was unable to. He looked down at his feet and found that they were covered in stone. Only then he realized that the rest of the group had their arms reached out in his direction. Another sword rested on his neck and he saw that one of the girls, the one in green and black(A/N: Suki) was missing. He looked from the corner of his eyes and saw that the white sword and hilt belonged to the girl and she wore a tired expression on her face.
He took a quick glance around him and he was in an air sphere much like the one the children arrived in and water was slashing dangerously around his waist as fire surrounded his feet. If it weren't for the stone covering his legs, he would've had a pair of barbecued legs. He gulped and finally digested that these children were a force to be reckoned with.
The council was awestruck. Never had they seen such display of power in Middle-Earth. Boromir was wrong for trying to attack the children and they were going to sentence his punishment heavily if he hurt one of them. But it seemed that they were able to fend for themselves. In fact, they were able to overthrow the council if they wanted to.
The bald boy took a step forward and stared at each of them.
"We mean you no harm. Though we are not welcome, you shouldn't just attack people. You could've hurt someone." He said with a smile
Gandalf chuckled as he return the smile. "But it seems that you are able to fend for yourselves. My name is Gandalf the Grey Wizard. Might I inquire yours?"
The boy smiled and gave a small boy, "My name is Aang, these are my friends. The one that was attacked is Sokka and the one behind the attacker is Suki. The guy in red is Zuko. The one next to him is Katara, she's Sokka younger sister. And the one beside her is Toph. Mind telling us where we are?"
Gandalf smiled wider as Elrond stood beside him. "You are in Rivendell, the city of elves. And this here is Lord Elrond, he is the leader in this city. You are in Middle-Earth. I apologise for Boromir's brash attitude but I think he has learnt his lesson." He said hinting.
Aang nodded his head, "Of course. Come on guys let the guy go, we can kill him the next time he tries to attack us." Though Boromir shuddered at the thought and the team was reluctant, they quickly released their prisoner. But Toph was still unsatisfied as he tried hurting her best friend, she made a stone punch him lightly on the chest to throw him back to his people. It was a light hit but strong enough to make him remember. Toph grinned smugly at him before pouting when Katara reprimanded her.
"What are you?" one of the elves asked. Aang raised an eyebrow at him. Along their way to Middle-Earth, they were filled in with important details by their fellow dragons. Everything they needed to know. About the race, the ring, the evil, the fellowship. They knew almost everything. But it wouldn't hurt to act dumb once in awhile.
"Hah! He asked us what we are. Toph, do I look like an alien to you?" Sokka whined.
Toph raised an elegant eyebrow at the guy before replying, "with your weird sense of humour? Yup, bet you're a martian from planet lame" she simply stated which earned giggles and chuckles from their teammates. Sokka pouted and huffed away from Toph to stand beside Zuko.
"Well Mr. Gandalf, we are humans much like you. However we came from another world. A world that powers like this isn't uncommon. We can manipulate the nature."
This caught everyone's attention immediately.
"We have four types of benders in our world. The fire benders from the fire nation like Zuko. Air benders from the Air nomads like me. Water benders like Katara and they are split into different tribes. And Earth Benders like Toph. However, there are those born as non-benders like Suki and Sokka. Benders and non-benders population are like 50-50 in our world. And we arrived here thanks to your friend Iluvatar" he flashed them his charming grin.
If they were stunned before, they're minds are blown away now. These children could manipulate the nature! Such power would be useful against the dark lord! And if what he said was true that Iluvatar had sent them. Perhaps they had a chance against the foredooming battle.
"However that does not explain how you children could've made your way here. If I may be so bold, if benders were common in your world, wouldn't Iluvatar have sent much more experienced benders? I mean no offense but, you are merely children. What can you do to aid us? Not that I'm not glad that you will be aiding us." Gandalf asked trying not to offend the group of teenagers.
His question earned frowns from the team before Aang grinned wider. "True Mr. Gandalf, there are much older and experience warriors in our world. However we were born in war. Five years ago our world was in chaos. We were in a war against the fire lord ozai. But he was defeated by the Avatar and his group of friends. The avatar is the only person able to manipulate all four elements. They were his masters. And without them he wouldn't be able to master the other three elements. He first became friends with a water bender and her brother from the southern water tribe. Though water benders can bend water, she was the only one able heal using water and turn them to icicles as she is from the south pole. Her brother became the best warrior and blacksmith across the land.
He then was hunted by the firelord's son who then in the end became his fire bending master. Though he was the son of the evil lord, he had a heart of gold. Quite a good thing he realized that soon. Did I mention he could manipulate lightning too?" he grinned as he watched the shocked look of the council before continuing.
"next he became friends with a blind girl. But as the saying goes, do not judge a book by its cover. Soon the avatar and his friends found out that the blind girl was actually a pretty good earth bender and that even though she was blind, she could see a whole lot better than us. She could tell if people were lying and could see further than normal people can. She became his earth bending master. And during her capture, she learnt how to bend metal. She was the best earth bender in the world! In fact the avatar's friends were the best and strongest bender in their element across the land!" he exclaimed while waving his arms around to prove his statement.
Gandalf was laughing at his antics when Elrond broke the moment. "This history does not explain our question boy." He hissed while glaring at Aang dangerously.
Toph stomped her way to Elrond and glared into his eyes with her empty ones. An elf sprung towards her, sword drawn. He was about to threaten her to move away but what happened next scared the hell out of him. Her hand was reached out towards the sword and she held it in her hand and the blade bent, changing its shape into a square solid of metal. Before she crushed it and snarled at Elrond.
"does that answer your questions you petty elf?! I am the metal bender, twinkle toes is the avatar and we are the team avatar! GET IT?!"
Everyone in the council had their jaw left hanging at Toph's outburst. Team Avatar was sighing heavily at their friend. Elrond's eyes were widened a great value when he saw the display of her power. So they were indeed the group
Elrond was in deep thought for a moment before he nodded his head. "If you are truly what you say, then enlighten my burden and aid our quest." He scanned the area for any of those who would protest. But none did.
Toph grinned at them before a sudden tug in her heart pulled her back.
"Milady…" a voice called
"Wake up milady." This time the owner of the voice shook her body as Toph grudgingly awoke from her slumber.
Was that all a dream?
A/N: Yeup doesn't explain anything yet right? just be patient.. thank you! Review please!
