Gateway to another world
This idea came to me while reading other fanfics and crossovers about ATLA and I love putting me and my friends (well now my friends) in stories. So without further ado, let's get this story started.
Disclaimer: Yada Yada I don't own this blah blah you know the drill.
Life was weird. Like when you taunted a someone for liking something but then they taunt you for liking something. Or when you drown but you get saved by your crush. Something like that was about to happen to five friends. This is their story and it will be a long one. So grab some snacks, drinks, and snuggle up in your blanket on your bed (if you can't do any of the three things then just relax and focus) because it's about to be entertaining.
Michael- 非弯曲?
It was a Friday and I just left school with my friends, which always bite me in the butt because they either insult me or they convince me to walk with them all the way on Kedzie (I have a time limit when I walk home) which gets me in trouble at home.
"Ah, finally we out of school and no homework!" My friend Jerrell said. He was the aggressive one in the group and tended to act like he didn't care.
"Yeah for two days and then its back to boring school days." I said as we turned a corner. We were walking to the bus stop that Sergio and I took to our streets.
"Don't worry about that until it comes. I mean arrives." Sergio said. Sergio was different then Jerrell, physically and mentally. Physically, he was shorter and skinny. Mentally, he was calm until someone messed with him. "Anthony why you walking with us? I don't have the link today." Luis ask our other friend. Both Luis and Anthony were crazy, Luis mentally and Anthony both mentally and physically. I was the emotional one in the group which was not good.
"I just felt like walking and I had a feeling that something was going to happen." Anthony scratch his head in confusion. I turn to see everyone nodding in agreement. We crossed the street and stopped at the bus stop.
I zipped up my jacket. It was getting chilly outside as well as getting dark more quickly.
"Eh, whatever it is will probably not be bad." I assured everyone. The only weird thing that happen to us was a plane that had stayed still too long and we thought it was a crack in the universe.
We waited a few minutes for a bus to come but none did. Then the bus stop got crowded by 4:45.
"Okay, all In favor of walking to Kedzie say I." Luis proposed and there was a bunch of "I's" that went around except for me. I didn't want to be late coming home and I really didn't want another lecture from my mom.
"Ehhh, I don't know. Maybe the bus is just running late." I was stalling for time and hoping that the bus would come.
"What the...Bitch the bus is not coming, you see all these people!" He said while gesturing to the other people that had came. He did have a point but I really felt like we should stay.
"Come on Mike. You already gonna be late
Why not have an adventure." Luis said, shrugging in the process.
It was cheesy but it worked.
"Alright let's go."
We started walking on a street that would take us to Kedzie. On the way, we was talking, laughing, and just goofing around when my notification on my phone went off. I thought it was my mom.
"Well I'm about to die." I said as I checked my phone thinking it was my mom. It wasn't her though, it was a weather alert. My eyes went wide after I read the message. Sergio must've saw the look on my face because he asked what was wrong.
"It said that there's a thick fog settling in Chicago. All busses are inactive." I read to them. Anthony gave me a puzzled look.
"You mean to tell me that busses are inactive because of fog."
"Hey it's thick fog." I defended weakly.
"But it's not like it's snow." He said. The rest of the group nodded. I was about to say something but I saw white stuff out the corner of my eye.
"So is that nothing to be worry about!" I said as white fog was approaching. It was coming fast too. I mean you could barely see anything as it engulfed buildings, cars, and even people.
"Okay, I suggest we…" Luis started but then stopped. I looked towards him and saw that we was completely in the fog. Damn, wasn't it just showing up a little while ago.
"I can't see past this fuckimg fog!" Exclaimed Anthony as he tried to feel his way.
"Wait. Shh." Sergio shushed us. We listened to him and stayed quiet.
"I don't hear anything. Not even cars." It was true. All sounds were were gone and the only thing we could hear was us talking.
"Okay this freaking me out. Is this a prank?" Jerrell accused, pointing at me in the process. I got offended and yelled back.
"Why would I do this!? How would I even do this? Maybe Luis did it!" Which caused a punch from Luis on to me.
"Bitch! Why would you accuse me of doing this."
"Oh I don't know maybe because this seem like the thing you'd do!"
At this moment all of us were yelling and hitting one another and it would've led to full on beat downs if Sergio didn't say anything.
"Yo stop fucking fighting and you see that Anthony is gone!" He yelled. I turn to see that he was right; Anthony was gone and we didn't notice. If this wasn't weird and creepy before, I didn't want to know what it was now.
"Wait! Where did Luis just go!?" Jerrell said as he clenched his fists and started shaking.
"Wasn't you just-" I rubbed my head in confusion and looked up to see that he was gone.
"Sergio, whe-." Sergio went missing as well. Wasn't he just by me. Shit was gone crazy now. It was only me left and I hated being alone. It scared me to be in something and not be around other people. Being around friends was good because you guys could figure what to do but being by yourself was a problem cause you couldn't even protect yourself or think straight. Which I was on the verge of doing. I got into a fetal position and just rolled back and forth with the fog all around me.
I'm pretty sure I was looking at anything that might be something but turned out to be fog.
I was about to close my eyes when a bright blue light shines in my eyes. Or it might've been a shockwave cause I felt a force hit me. That was when I passed out.
It must've been hours before I woke up caused when I came to, it was dark.
"Ugh, my head." I groaned as I rubbed my head. I felt that my hair had grown since I was out but it was only a few hours right?
I stood up and tried feeling for a light switch. The thing was this room felt wide and there was the smell of dust everywhere. Oh and bumping into stuff was a problem too. I didn't know where I was and I didn't want to know. Okay I did wanted to know.
I hoped the others were okay.
Anthony/Ansoni 火
I think I hit my head before I passed out because I couldn't remember anything from before. Except for my first name. Anthony.
I've just awaken and had a strange feeling that somebody was watching me.
"Who's the-" I tried calling out but a hand covered my mouth.
"Don't yell or shout. I saw you fall from the sky. Don't worry I am a friend.) A low voice said in my ear. I was tempted to punch the stranger in the neck but the way they spoke eased my nerves.
That was last night as I recalled. Now, I was in a bed on a warship. The person that had spoke to me was a retired general named Iroh. He said he would help me with my problems and give me food and shelter in return I had to do him a favor. I didn't know what the favor was going to be but as long as I had a place to stay then I was okay it.
The door opened and a big pot belly man came through with some clothes in hands. Weird look clothes. The colors was red and black with what appears to be a bootleg hockey mask. Or was it an improved hockey masked?
"Here are some fresh clothes and a mask to hide your face."
He gave me the clothes and looked at me.
"Thank you, , I am confused to why I need a mask." I wondered out loud. He gave a joyful chuckle.
"To make sure you be protected and to hide your face. Prince Zuko is a handful." He said as he walked out the room, shutting it in the process.
Prince Zuko? Who was that and why were there fire emblems posters on the walls of the room?
Few hours later.
I founded out both answers when I emerged from the lower deck in my disguise.
The first thing I noticed was that it was cold as shit outside. I failed to warm myself up as rubbing through the suit was ineffective. The second thing I noticed was that the environment was white and blue. Meaning it was snow and water everywhere. Yep, because that's what I needed. To freeze.
"Soldier number sixty nine! Get in formation." Someone commanded. I turned around to see a bunch of people (dressed like I was) lined up in a formation. I was about to go over to Iroh when someone yanked my shoulder. I was forcibly turned to face a guy with a scar on his face.
"I said, soldier number sixty nine get in formation!" He glared at me while shouting my face. While he glared at me I heard a voice piped up.
"I am in formation Prince Zuko sir!"
At that moment the teen I presume was Prince Zuko looked at whoever said that and looked backed at me. He then pushed me and was about to throw a punch when Iroh came and stopped Zuko.
"Prince Zuko, please. This is an ally." Iroh said soothingly and calmly. I was just quiet and a little scared but for some reason also ready to fight. While I was figuring out these complicated feelings, Iroh and Zuko were talking.
"Uncle what is the meaning of this?" Zuko demanded. Well that was surprising. Zuko was Iroh's nephew and apparently they both were royalty.
"This is Ansoni," Iroh gestured to me and I took off my mask which probably was a mistake cause Zuko gotten into a fighting stance.
"Uncle! He's a Waterbender!"
I didn't know what that meant, probably code for terrorist and if so, that was racist! I mean I know I was black and black people were kind of dangerous but these were two Caucasian people more badass than me.
"Wait, he's not a waterbender."
"If he's not, then why doesn't he prove it by doing a little firebending?". Okay maybe they were on drugs or something but maybe they were talking about doing the impossible.
"uh I can't really. If you have a lighter maybe I can wiggle it around." I said in a reasonable time.
That was a mistake.
A punch came my way and I dodged as soon as it came. I was taken off guard by what I saw after. Fire. Coming from his fist.
Now I was terrified, because I knew that this wasn't normal. People shooting fire out their hands and shit. I ran towards the door to see soldiers blocking the way I came. I raised my hands as they was about to shoot fire at me and waited for the burns. And kept waiting.
"See, a firebender. He just have the skin complexion of a waterbender." I heard Iroh say. I had my eyes closed so I opened them to see fire shooting out my hands. What. The. Fuck?
Sergio 水
"Now push and pull like you're sawing a tree." The "master" told me. I did what was instructed and the water copied my movements.
I was surprised. Not surprised about the water moving but surprised that I was able to do it.
Just hours ago I was passed out and when I came to I was surrounded by people. They wore blue robes and had spears. Which were pointed at me. I kid you not when I say that freaked out. Luckily (and unluckily) a princess by the name of Yue had calmed the spearmen and said that I wasn't anything dangerous and that they should protect me. Which was why I was being taught how to Waterbend.
If there was any doubts I had about that fog being mysterious and that this was another world was gone.
In just a few hours I was above beginner and was now in the middle difficulty. While training (for what I didn't know) information was giving to me in the form of two lazy tribesmen having a conversation.
I was in a world where people bent the , earth, fire, and air. Although they didn't say anything about the air benders. But the thing was that there was also nations
Fire nation.
Water tribes
And earth kingdom.
Again no info on the air benders.
I hoped my friends were okay. Cause I so wasn't. The north is so cold.
Jerrell 地球
"Give it up for the Skull Crusher!" The announcer, well announced my stage alias. I stomped my foot and the ground in front of me popped up and I kicked it up and hit it towards the roof. Yep. Earthbending. Something I could do in this world and with the help of my strength it was enhanced.
The crowd cheered for me which was funny because a day ago they were booing me. The day I fell in this unusual world was when I discovered that I could bend. I didn't even know what bending was until I literally woke up to see that I was falling to my doom. I raised my hands up to protect myself and I saw the earth come from an angle and socked my gut. Gee, I feel like Michael would do something like that.
Back to the present I was waiting for my opponent when dirt hit my face.
"It here's is his opponent, the one and only Blind Bandit!" Wow that was a lame name. I can't wait to see what loser I'd be fighting.
Then I saw a little girl jump on stage and walked about. People really shouldn't bring there kids to these type of things, it was dangerous.
"Hey little girl, you should really get off the stage before you get hurt." I said. I heard a bunch of "Oohh's" after I said that. What?
The girl pointed a finger at me but wasn't looking in my direction.
"Maybe you should get off!" She yelled out.
"I would but I'm supposed to fight someone named the Blind Bandit." I said looking for the mentioned fighter.
"How Ironic, maybe you're the Blind Bandit since you obviously can't see the I'm here." She said as she sent a boulder towards me.
I dodged left and focused on not falling.
This had to be a joke. How could a little girl be fighting in an underground fight match thing.
"Is this a joke? If not, I don't want to hurt a young child." I said, as I turned away.
"You couldn't even think about hurting!" She taunted. The crowd was just cheering her on making me feel, insecure? That wasn't it but whatever.
"Listen, if I were to fight I would go easy on you."
"That's a lie cause you'd go easy on the cupcakes, Cupcake." Was I really being trash talked by a 6th grader? Did they even have schools here? That was besides the point. I wasn't even fat!
"Okay you asked for it!" I exclaimed as I ran over to her.
"Just like you ask for five servings of pies? She said as she ran over to me also.
She was going down.
(A/N): It may not be the best but it's something. My friends and I are in the world of Avatar where things are impossible and confusing. Depending on reviews or favorites I might do another chapter but only with two POV's from whoever is more interesting.
