The Elements of Sleepy Hollow

by mpowers045

Korra and her friends were Mysteriously transported into a world and met a Constable who is on his way to a small town to investigate a murder, the victims were found headless and they say it is the work of a ghostly Headless rider so it is up to Korra, her friends and the Constable to solve this Mystery [that is the title idea I can come up with]

1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1[ I made this crossover of Tim burton's Sleepy Hollow and Legend of Korra so I Do not own either of them]

in the year 1799 in The Hudson highlands it was a dark night when a carriage was driving on the road until something glows inside the woods driver stop said a passenger and the driver stopped the passenger who got out of the carriage holding a pistol was a man with black hair wears a dark coat and black boots while holding a pistol he walks to the direction of the glow he stand behind the bush he saw a quartet of teenagers in strange outfits first was a girl tanned skin and wears a blue sleeveless shirt and ponytail and second was a boy wears a coat tucked long sleeves short fingerless gloves and a red scarf and third was another boy wearing a green shirt tucked long sleeves short and last is a girl with long black hair red lips in a black shirt the man must know if they are harmless or not he slowly came out of still holding his pistol and trying not to shake.

h...hold it right there said the man in a shaky voice

the group turned and performed in some sort of fighting stance but the girl in blue has fire in her hand and so dose the boy but the other boy lift rocks without his hands the man can not believe it what he saw he backed away and tripped but the strangers got out there stances like it was a misunderstanding to them the girl in blue walk towards the man and reached out her hand like she is helping him there was one way to find out he took the offered hand she help him up

sorry about that you startle us said the girl in blue

how was I startling witches? said the man

witches we're not witches said the green shirt boy

but what manner of magic is this? he asked

it's not magic it's bending said the boy with a scarf

bending? he said now he got more confused

yes it's an ability where we come from said the other girl

speaking of which where are we? said the girl in blue

you are in the Hudson highlands said the man

nothing else to say about it so the girl in blue introduce herself and her friends

I'm Korra and this is Mako [boy with a scarf] and his brother Bolin and Asami and you are? said the girl in blue

Constable Ichabod Crane said the man

what are you doing out here in the woods ? said Asami

well I was in a carriage on the road then I saw the glow so I told to the driver to stop then I got out to investigate the glow and that's how I found you said Ichabod finishing the explanation

so how about you four like to accompany me in the carriage it's best if you were with me so nobody mistook you for witches said Ichabod offering them a ride

so they agreed and went to the carriage while the carriage is moving the four told Ichabod about their abilities their world their history and Korra and Ichabod cannot believe it

so you mean to say that you are part of a reincarnated legacy that can move all four elements? he ask Korra with amaze she nodded

so where are we going Mr. Crane? said Asami

please call me Ichabod he said and continued we are going to a town called Sleepy Hollow I will be investigating a murder there

who was murdered? Korra asked

three have been murdered first was Peter van Garrett and his son Dirk van Garrett and one week later is the Widow Winship said Ichabod

how did they die? said Bolin

they were found...decapitated said Ichabod Korra Mako and Asami were shocked to hear that answer except Bolin who doesn't know what that means

what dose that mean? said Bolin so Mako whispers an answer to Bolin and now he is even more shocked then the others and Mako notice little scars on Ichabod's palms

where did you get those scars? said Mako

I wish I knew. I had them since I can remember that was the only answer Ichabod said

the carriage have finally reach it's destination it was a very quiet little town they walked to the square it's so quiet as it was deserted they continued to walk

so Ichabod what do we do now? said Korra

now we go to the Van Tassel manor and speak to Baltus Van Tassel said Ichabod

they pass by an old bunker there a father holding his musket and patted his ten year old son on a hill ahead is the Van Tassel manor there were pumpkins with glowing faces on the porch they stand at the door Ichabod knocked the door but no respond they waited and waited until Ichabod turned his head and what he saw made his eyes wide and so did the four what they saw in a shadow was a couple kissing each other lustfully what appears to be a young girl and Elderly man and they were snapped out of the sight when they hear the door opened it was a party men and women were gathered in groups eating and drinking and talking and there was quiet music some were staring strangely at the four then there was men and children forming a circle for some game a young woman in blindfolded circles slowly

the pickety witch the pickety witch who's got a kiss for the pickety witch? chanted the blindfolded woman

the five were walking by until Ichabod was self caught by the blindfolded woman she touches Ichabod's face and made him feel embarrassed and the four glance a knowing look at each other then next to her was a strong man and that displease with him.

is it Theodore? ask the young lady who wasn't sure who that was

no pardon me miss I am only a stranger said Ichabod

then have a kiss on that account said the woman she kissed him on the cheek and the kiss made him stunned and the strong man scowled at this scene then the woman removed her blindfolded to be raveled as a young beauty then Korra and her friends walked up to them

we are looking for Baltus Van Tassel said Korra then Ichabod finally snapped out of it

uh yes we are looking Baltus Van Tassel said Ichabod

I'm his daughter Katrina Van Tassel the young woman introduced

and who are you friend? we have not heard your name yet said the strong man

I've not said it excuse me reply Ichabod they were about to leave but the man roughly grabbed him by the shoulder and turn him around face to face

you need some manners. said the man

Brom! said Katrina

now Korra is getting mad

you're the one who is going to be needing some manners! said Korra making a fist

Korra! protest Ichabod

but the confrontation was already interrupted by an Elderly gentleman and with him appears to be his wife

come come we'll have no raised voices it is only to raise spirits during this dark time that I and my dear wife are giving this little party young sir you are most welcome even if you are selling something said the elderly gentleman

thank you sir I am Constable Ichabod Crane sent to you from New York to investigate murder in Sleepy Hollow said Ichabod giving him the credential and the four realize that he is the man that Ichabod is looking for

I see and who are these four youths? Baltus asked

oh they are with me they are my accomplices this Korra Mako his brother Bolin and Asami said Ichabod introducing the four

then Sleepy Hollow is grateful to you Constable crane and your accomplices and we hope you will honor us by remaining in this house. said Lady Van Tassel

well spoke dear well come sir we'll get you settled and your accomplices play on said Baltus and order the musicians to continued and so they went upstairs in a room they helped Ichabod unpacked his unusual equipment of detect

sooo what do you think of her? Korra asked Ichabod with a sly smile

her who? said Ichabod confused

you know Katrina Van Tassel does that ring a bell? said Korra Ichabod was about to say something but it was interrupted by open door came a servant girl named Sarah holding a water pitcher and putting it on the washstand

ah thank you please tell Mr. Van Tassel that we will be down in a moment. said Ichabod relief of not answering the question that Korra was asking when it was interrupted

I will sir she reply Thank god you're here she said before leaving they were surprisingly confused of why she said that?

she sound desperate said Asami they nodded in agreement

it would seems that this murderer has strike fear into the hearts of the towns people said Ichabod observing the situation they were ready to start the case they went to the parlor in the parlor is Baltus with four Elderly men and his wife and Sarah it looks like they were having a conversation until it was interrupted

ah excellent come in uh leave us my dear said Baltus to Ichabod and the four and his wife so she leaves and the servant girl

we are joined by Dr. Thomas Lancaster [the Elderly gentleman with a moustache and goatee] Reverend Steenwyck[ middle aged man with a wig] our able magistrate Samuel Philipse[ pudgy man looked drunk] and lastly this fine fellow is James Hardenbrook our notary[very old with a pale right eye] said Baltus gesturing to the four Elders

and you sir? said Ichabod knowing their Professions now wants to know Baltus

a simple farmer who has prospered The town looks to me as friend and counsel said Baltus with a hint of pride

and landlord and banker Philipse added can we proceed?

first Peter Van Garrett said Korra

and his son Dirk Van Garrett Mako added

both of them strong capable men found together...decapitated said Ichabod

one week later is The Widow Winship said Asami

Philipse sputtered in his tea cup

how much have your superiors explained to you Constable? Baltus asked who is not sure about Ichabod

only that the three were slain in open ground and their heads found severed from their bodies said Ichabod

hmm their heads were not found severed their heads were not found at all said Reverend Steenwyck the five looked confused

The heads are... gone? said Bolin

Taken. Taken by The Headless Horseman... Taken back to Hell said Hardenbrook corrected Bolin with a look of fear and they were surprised that the murderer is a Headless ghost

pardon me I said Ichabod

perhaps you five better sit cut by Baltus

yes said Ichabod they sat down then Ichabod got himself a cup tea and so Korra and her friends are beginning to hear Baltus telling The Tale of The Headless Horseman

The Horseman was Hessian mercenary sent to these shores by German Princes to keep Americans under The yoke of England but unlike his compatriots who came for money The Horseman came for The love of Carnage when Battle was Joined there you find him said Baltus

[Flashback]

it was a clash between the Americans and The Redcoats there galloping is a man all in black with Jagged teeth messy hair riding on a great black horse he rode a giant Black stead named Daredevil said Baltus continuing The Hessian roars while chopping American Heads he was infamous for riding Horse hard into battle chopping off heads in full gallop he had file his teeth in to sharp points to add the Ferocity of his appearance and this butcher didn't finally reach his end until the winter of 79 said Baltus The Hessian rode in a winter morning until Daredevil was shot The Hessian got up with vengeful rage in his eyes he stroking his dying steed not far from here in our Western Woods Baltus continued The Hessian hear a musket shot and saw a few Americans they fired at him but missed so The Hessian had no choice but leave his horse behind and make for the Woods and The Americans began to Pursuit The fleeing Mercenary he ran through every tree then he stopped to a strangest thing he see two little girls gathering firewood one looked frighten and one looked calm he shushed at the little girls the calm little girl took a stick and snapped it like a pistol shot it cause the Americans to follow the sound the girls ran but the calm one stayed behind and hides then The Hessian prepare himself they attacked him but he hack and slash and the calm girl watch not surprised by all the killing she saw then The Hessian blocked the solder's attack with his axe and sword together but the other solder stabbed The Hessian and The Hessian was on his knees then the solder took The Hessian sword and chopped his head right off they chopped off his Head with his own sword even today The Western Woods is a Haunted place where brave men will not venture Baltus continued the story the surviving Americans buried The Hessian and his head in a mound after burying him they put his sword on his grave as a marker for what was planted in that ground that day...was a seed of evil [Flashback end]

and so it has been for twenty years but now The Hessian wakes he's on the rampage cutting of heads of where he finds them said Baltus finishing the story and explanation and Korra and her friends cannot believe of what they are hearing a galloping Headless ghost chopping peoples heads Ichabod looked calm but his hands were shaking while holding a cup of tea and Korra notice she did a little elbow bump on Ichabod and Ichabod sapped out of it and put the cup on the table

are you saying...is that what you believe? Ichabod asked

seeing is believing reply Hardenbrook

they tell me you've brought books and trappings of scientific investigation this is the only book I recommend you read. said Reverend Steenwyck placing a bible on the table Ichabod open the bible and see the Van Tassel family tree

I see said Ichabod he closed the bible and stand up

Reverend Steenwyck gentlemen Murder needs no ghosts to come from the grave we have murders in New York without of benefit of ghouls and goblins Ichabod stated

you're a long way from New York Constable. Baltus countered so the four stand up

The assassin is a man of flesh and blood and we will discover him said Ichabod and the four nodded after that they sat in Ichabod's room thinking

do you guys think there is such a thing as The Headless Horseman? said Bolin

no Bo the murderer is obviously dressing up as The Horseman said Mako

the one thing I just don't get is why the murderer always taking heads? said Asami

there is one way to find out said Korra

indeed so you four shall go to your rooms we will start tomorrow said Ichabod they went to their rooms until tomorrow
