Rider
Chapter one: the deal
Sokka growled as he was hit with a snowball thrown by his sister. Sokka gathered a large amount of snow to make a massive snowball to throw at his sister, and then the black snow fell. Their father told them to hide as he ran to help repel the invaders. " I'm going to go find mom" Katara tells Sokka as she ran to the family hut and Sokka started to run with the men when he saw a lone fire nation soldier running towards his hut Sokka followed after him.
Unseen by all an old man calmly fallowed the two; the man was dressed oddly in a deep red suit with a long over coat of the same color and matching leather gloves. He walked with a silver cane with a skull with ruby eyes for a handle. This is the transdimensional demon god Mephistopheles. 'I never thought fan fiction would be so rewording.' the old man thought as he walked to the hut that belonged to the chief of the Southern Water Tribe as the little girl ran out of the hut and The boy he was following entered the hut. You see the demon discovered that because he is a multiversal singularity he could cross to dimensions he would normally not have access to, but do to something known as a crossover he could get souls from other dimensions he would not be able to get to normally. Meaning that for example if another fan fiction story is made for ironman and guyver, Mephisto could cross over into any guyver story even cannon and make a deal with someone for their soul. And best of all his powers did not weaken as fast as they normally do in the marvel 616 universe. Because of this Mephisto became a huge fan of . The old demon then froze time as he entered the hut. With a smile the old man stops time.
"Hello there boy" Sokka herd after everything had stopped looking to the doorway he sees a strangely dressed old man. "Who are you and what is going on?" Sokka asks the old man in a whiny voice. "Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mephisto and I came to make a deal with you." Mephisto tells the boy. "My name is Sokka and what kind of deal?" Sokka asked the man suspicion in his voice, but he does remember his manners. "Why a deal to allow your mother to live, all you have to do is sigh at the dotted line" the demon tells the boy as he hands him a scroll. "It does not say anything, dad says never make a deal without sorting out the details of what you are agreeing to. Is there a way for you and I to discuss the details without my mom getting hurt?" Sokka asks Mephisto. "Yes there is." Mephisto tells the boy as he snaps his fingers. The next thing Sokka knows he is sitting in a booth in a small cafe. "What can I get you to drink?" a beautiful woman asks the two as she pulls out a pen and tablet. "I will halve coffee the boy will have a coke." Mephisto tells the woman who writes down the order and walks away as a different waitress knocks a third onto a table with a family of three. The impact causes the cake the woman had just served the girl to be smooched onto the woman's uniform.
"Now let's get to business what I am offering is to save your mom in exchange for your soul and servitude as my first Rider for your world. Thank you Miss." Mephisto tells Sokka as there drinks arrive. "What will that entail and will my mother live a full life?" Mephisto loved people who knew how to make a proper bargain and had honor because they would serve him better. "Yes if you agree to be a full time rider after the war is over and work part time till then I will leave your family alone for three generations, but you will be unable to join them in the afterlife. You will never age passed your prime and will forever hunt for souls of the dammed for until the end of time." Mephisto never wasted the power of a rider on innocent soul since his followers would send him plenty.
"As long as you leave my family alone for that time I will take the curse you offer me. I will bare this burden forever but you have to sigh this?" Sokka stopped for a moment as he looked at the old man. "It is called a contract Sokka." Mephisto tells the boy. "Right, like I was saying you have to sign this contract too so I know you will stick to this agreement." Sokka tells Mephisto. "Ok Sokka but this is a contract that you sigh in blood. Ill sigh first so you know what to do." the old man states as he takes off his right glove and opens the scroll. He pricks his thumb on a spike at the top of the scroll as a second line appears under the first; he then presses his bloody thumb on the bottom line, Sokka doing the same thing on the top line. Then the agreement the two made magically aperies on the contract.
"Since you just made a job agreement you will have the money for whatever you need or want. To celebrate lets have some cake." Mephisto tells the boy as he asks for two pieces of devils fu cake. After the two finish the cake Mephisto snaps his fingers and they appear back in the hut. "Now I will give you the knowledge of your powers as my little Rider." Mephisto tells Sokka as he taps the boy on the forehead and his most powerful rider is born one who can transform at will and remain himself. "Now as a bonus I grant you the chains of the dammed and it will always fit your hands" Mephisto tells Sokka as a black chain appears in the boy's hand. "You now have the means to save your mom." Mephisto tells Sokka. The boy steps in front of the fire blast as he transforms his skin burning away from the inside as his bones produce hellfire leaving behind a flaming skull. As Mephisto disappears and time resumes the demons last words are only herd by Sokka they are. "Your first job will be in a year's time train hard my little Rider."
The commander of the Sothern raiders stared at the demon that just appeared in front of him in fear. The demon just stood there as the fire blasts he sent at the water bender hit it. He turned and ran away 'screw this place' the man thought as he ran away. The man would later lie to his men stating that he killed the last water bender in the South Pole. Sokka would later tell his family what he did to save his mother. Sad that her son took on such a curse to save her yet happy to be alive Kya would weep for her son. Hokoda would start to train Sokka for his new job the next day. That night once his family was in bed Hokoda would cry for his son. Katara did not understand what was happening at the time, but she thought it was cool that her brother could become a flaming skeleton.
A year later South Pole...
Sokka was away from the village practicing His Rider powers under the guise of hunting. Sokka had just finished up his training and was now tracking a large tiger-seal. That when he came across a dead arctic lioness who had just given birth. Arctic lions looked like a mix of Siberian tigers and lions, males did develop think mains. The lion she birthed Sokka knew would not survive if he did not help it, because the cub was not born grey like a normal cub it was born a light black. The cub would not be able to blend in since the black cubs did not lighten well they aged they darkened. Sokka dumps out his water skin and starts milking the dead lioness filling the skin as he picked up the cub and put it in his jacket noting the cat was male and that the lioness was killed by his pray. Sokka would bring the cub and seal back to his village.
Three years later...
Sokka rode Lion; his black arctic lion to the docks were his father was getting ready to leave. "Dad" Sokka yelled to get the man's attention. "Sokka what are you doing here?" Hokoda asks his son. "I was going to ask to come with but I know I'm too young so I thought Lion and I could see you all off in person." Sokka told his father. "Good because you will need to be the man of the village. Lion shore got big didn't he." Hokoda told Sokka as he pet the beasts head earning a purr form him. Arctic lions are normally about the size of a large wolf but Lion was the size of a platypus-bear. The lion grew a red main and his face and legs became a silver-white color well his ears became yellow. The lions yellow eyes showed great intellect. Kya, Gran-Gran and Katara made a saddle for the beast last year allowing the boy to comfortably ride the lion. "Sokka I have a job for you, until it's time for you to leave protect your mother and sister." Hokoda tells Sokka as he gave the boy a hug. "And Lion you keep Sokka safe." Hokoda tells the lion who roars in response. "Sokka I have an early birthday present for you." Hokoda tells Sokka as he removes his boomerang sheath and gives it to Sokka. "Take good care of it Sokka." Hokoda tells the boy before he turns and boards his boat. Sokka and lion then watch as the men leave the village to fight the fire nation.
Two years later...
Sokka and lion were just getting back from hunting dragging a tiger-seal behind them on a sled. As he entered the village Sokka saw a large column of light shoot into the sky from the direction of the fishing grounds. 'Wonder what that is, it's coming from the fishing grounds. The fishing grounds were mom and Katara.' Sokka thought as he observed the light before he transforms into his Rider form as he cuts the line attaching the sled to Lion. Lion also transformed into a skeletal lion with a demonic pair of flaming wings on his back. "Soldiers take the seal and begin cleaning it. I'm going to check out that light, let's go lion." Sokka's says in the deep gravelly voice of his Rider form as orders his 'soldiers'. His soldiers were just the kids of the village. They watched as Sokka flew away trails of fire in his wake. The oldest of the group a boy of seven the spoke up "you heard the caption let's get this seal cleaned and ready for curing boys." with that the Boys drag the seal into the village.
The fishing grounds...
Kya and Katara stared as the mist cleared from the iceberg they just broke open. The two women had recently gotten into an argument after almost getting killed trying to dodging icebergs in their little canoe. Both mother and daughters water bending got out of control as they started yelling at each other about everything from cooking dinner to Sokka's smelly discussing socks when there water bending cosigned a iceberg to break through the ice. Seeing a boy locked in the ice they pull out the clubs they carried to kill the larger fish the caught and started bashing at the ice.
The mist finally cleared and a young boy stumbled out of the crater that was left of the iceberg Katara catching the boy as he fell. The two women here a familiar roar as the boy opens his eyes. "Are you an angel?" the boy asks Katara as he lays his eyes on her.
To be continued.
Any one who wants to try their hand at the augment between mother and daughter I will post them as omakes since I really do not want to write it.
