Redemption
Behold my newest instalment to Fanfiction, this will be a multicrossover, with games, anime, and maybe more, enjoy.
Earth. Fire. Air. Water. When I was a boy, my father, Avatar Aang, told me the story of how he and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War. Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, a society where benders and non-benders from all over the world could live and thrive together in peace and harmony. They named the capital of this great land Republic City. Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life, but sadly, his time in this world came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew.
The city streets of Republic city was in chaos, with the people already evacuating the city streets, after the first earth tremor, which was followed by three more, another cause of destruction.
A man lay unconscious beneath wooden debris, he wore a button-up white shirt with two buttons undone, a plain grey hoodie with a black leather jacket with a red tribal marking on the back hidden beneath the concrete, he wore plain blue jeans with black shoes, pale veins seen beneath his pale skin which was slowly regaining color, a miracle seeing this happening, but within his mind, a greater force was in the works.
Mindscape
"Alex J. Mercer, Terrorist, monster, the second of his now claimed food chain, wishing for a chance of redemption…." A voice spoke with a flash blinding the world before it showed the same man on his knee's before an african-american, his arms in the form of razor sharp, elongated claws, a glare aimed towards the hooded man with a scowl.
"Any last words, Mother fucker!?" the man growled out with the man swaying weakly, a small smile gracing his pained face, looking up to show guilt.
"I always wondered if this would happen, but to have it end here, I guess I was blinded by ignorance, James Heller, when you see my sister, tell her I'm sorry, for not being a good enough brother, and take care of your little girl as well, keep her away from the hatred humans have, leave no one of Blackwatch or Gentek alive, give them hell for me" the man said with a smile, closing his eyes before the vision vanished back to the dark void, showing the man in a kneeling position, his eyes empty of emotion before they focused, making him blink before he grunted in pain as memories flooded into his mind, making him growl in frustration before his mind went calm, with his eyes staring to a bright aura of light, a look of confusion gracing his face as he stood up, attempting to reach out before stopping himself.
"Why am I here?" Alex Mercer questioned while looking at his dark surroundings, with his heat vision active in vain, turning around instantly at hearing a womans giggle, making his arm turn into the Blade, only to make him hesitantly look down before his arm relaxed to its human state.
"I have answered your inner needs, to have a second chance to redeem yourself of sins, I shall grant you this want, but I want you to help me in a way" the aura of light spoke with a light tone underneath.
"What can I do to help?" Alex questioned with resolve, a more caring look moving to his features.
"A world of elements is about to be tipped of balance, the keeper of the balance, the Avatar, will need assistance from both life and death, you and a selected few will be my avatars of balance, do you accept?" the aura said with Alex nodding
"I accept" Alex said before his mind became blank, his eyes slowly closing as his body slowly leaned forward where the ground cracked with light, shattering at the touch while showing open sky, with a steampunk styled city below, showing Alex glowing a gold color, followed by three more crashing down, with a large shockwave following.
Hours later
"I can't believe this is happening, This can't be happening, I was so close to shutting them down damn it, what will happen to Fetch, Eugene-"
"Calm down kid, I'm sure they're fine, just relax and wait until this guy wakes up"
"How can you be so calm when those Zeppelin's are slowly drifting towards us!"
"Quiet you two, we have been chosen by a higher spirit to help in restoring order to this world, we wait for him to regain consciousness"
"Ulquiorra's right, we wait for him to wake up, than we find somewhere to hide until further notice, we wait" the calmer, yet lazy voice spoke with slight irritation, which was the perfect moment for Alex's eyes to open, making him gasp for air before throwing the debris off of him, looking around frantically to see a man wearing a red beanie, A white hoodie with a red flannel shirt with blue Jeans and Converse sneakers, A white spray paint styled bird on the back of his Denim vest, his hands held out front.
"Whoa, whoa, easy now, we are all in the same situation if you remember anything" The man said with Alex turning to see a man with blue-gray eyes and wavy, dark brown unkempt hair, he wore a white jacket outlined in black, though altered with the collar upturned. A black sash is worn in a manner similar to a matador around his waist while wearing white gloves, the remains of a white demonic masks jaw hanging around his neck with a black hole under his necklace, a lazy look in his demeanor, making Alex stand up straight while a much more paler man stood out, his eyes empty of emotion.
"Where am i?" Alex questioned with grunt, clearing his throat with a cough, messaging his throat.
"I'm as confused as you are pal" the denim wearing guy flinching as a girl threw a piece of wood at him, which Alex noted wore really revealing clothing.
"Are you aware of your clothing?" Alex questioned with the girl glaring at him.
"He is right, for someone your age, you would stick out like a star at night" the pale gentlemen said with the girl turning to him.
"Since when do you care what I wear?"
"Since my new reason to live was shown, I managed to sneak a set of clothing away from the market like area, found you a set of what they call, earth bender clothes, I retrieved cloaks for the two of you, for now we live hidden among the populace, listening for this Avatar, the one who brought us here mentioned to me that the Avatar was well known, once we hear a whisper, we move to assist he or she in any way" the one known as Ulquiorra spoke after throwing the clothing to the three people, followed by him turning to the zeppelins, an empty stare to the two old airships before he and the lazy guy began walking to cover, making Alex look at the clothing before focusing, feeling his body ripple with his body making a cloak, making the girl awe before she and the two ran after Ulquiorra and the man.
"Name's Delsin, you?"
"Alex, Alex Mercer"
The next morning
To say Alex was surprised when he woke up, in a make shift bed with the girl, Lilynette was her name that the lazy guy, Coyote Starrk, and Ulquiorra Cifer, both know each other even before this happened, which made Alex more focused while Delsin was listening to an old radio, much to his chagrin after continuously listening every channel, learning there were four continents to search, while they discovered they were in a city Named Republic City, founded by the Fire Lord Zuko and the passed Avatar Aang, so that scratched him being in trouble, so they were looking for his successor, which was harder than it sounded.
"In latest news the group known as the triads have made yet another crushing display of power on small business owners, with the authorities having no choice but to release those arrested-"
"Okay, I give in, my boredom and need to do right is slowly driving me nuts" Delsin declared through the walls within the abandoned building, with Coyote snorting himself awake, leaving Alex with Lilynette snoring lightly onto his chest, making him frown before breaking his body down into tendrils, slithering out of Lilynette's grasp, reforming himself to normal with his eyes blinking the sleep away before quietly walking down the stairs, seeing Delsin staring at Ulquiorra in silence before the pale man spoke.
"If you get into any trouble, than forget about us going back for you" the man said with Delsin turning to the door, turning to see Alex walking after him.
"I'll go with you, I could use a bit of scenery" Alex said with Delsin shrugging, opening the door with Alex following.
Followed by the two making a scene from the rooftops, with Delsin moving in short distances in the form of smoke while Alex mercer dashed after him, coming to a stop overlooking what could be described as a warehouse, followed by Alex focusing before his heat vision activated, scanning the area before spotting to signatures inside.
"Two heat sig's inside" Alex said with Delsin turning to him with a frown.
"Are you a cyborg?" Delsin questioned with Alex pondering for an answer before standing up calmly.
"More like a viral hunter" Alex said calmly before vaulting over the rooftops wall, followed by Delsin dropping down beside him, seeing a Neon sign he held out his left hand, which made Alex speak.
"What are you a moth man?" Alex questioned with Delsin sighing before streams of bright electric yellow coursed into his hand, turning to Alex showing his eyes glowing a mixture of blue and yellow before resting onto a blue-purple mix, smirking happily as both his arms were engulfed in neon serpents circling before vanishing with his fists closed.
"More like power sponge" Delsin said before the two calmly approached the warehouse, with Alex's heat vision showing more signatures of heat, making him crack his neck with his body rippling into his armored form, making Delsin whistle.
"Damn, you eat protein for a living?"
"Sort of" Alex answered with hesitance before seeing Delsin running up the wall in human shaped lights, crouching down quietly while Alex stood calmly at the entrance, already knowing the plan Delsin had
"Wait out here for a surprise" the living virus said calmly, waiting few minutes before the door was pushed open slowly, making Alex cross his arms nonchalantly until he noticed it was Delsin who opened the door, a black eye gracing his healing face, beckoning Alex in to see men in various clothing held down by smoke pushing down, making him followed Delsin to a room where a man was tied down by a chain, a map of the city behind him on the wall.
"I don't care who you two are but I will hunt you down and make you PAY!" the man yelled in anger before Alex grasped his throat, slamming his face into the map.
"Which one are we at?" Alex questioned with an angry voice, followed by the man whimpering.
"We're at the one to the south!" the man cried out with Alex pulling him away before slamming him again hard, enough to knock him out.
"Alright, so, here's the plan, you head to the one near the docks, I'll head to the one near the edge of the city" Alex said while gesturing to the locations, taking a copy of the cities map with him, turning to see Delsin on the move.
"Don't be rash!" Alex yelled from below, getting a salute from Delsin before Dashing off in bright colors, leaving Alex alone before he leaped to the building's roof.
Near the docks, the sun was just rising, with Delsin walking down the street with a proud smile, it took merely four minutes to take down the street, examining the stalls in happy silence, not noticing a white Bear like dog sitting down, making him turn before stopping in mid step, approaching the dog carefully before it sniffed his direction, making him hold his fist out for the canine creature to sniff his scent, allowing him to pet it before a girl cleared her throat, making him turn at attention.
"Can I help you?" the woman questioned with Delsin basking in her figure.
Her eyes were a bright Cyan color, standing out within her dark skin color, her hair was long and kept in a ponytail, her hourglass figure adorned the modern water tribe clothing, followed by her arms wearing cloth bracers, which was shown by the girl clicking her fingers.
"Eyes up here pal"
"Huh, sorry" Delsin said with a blush.
"Can I help you?" the girl repeated with a smile, though a hint of annoyance.
"I'm just checking out the surroundings until I noticed this, big, little guy" Delsin said while turning to the Half polar bear dog creature.
"Her names Naga, my pet polar-bear-dog" the girl said with Delsin petting the mutant dogs head again, making it enjoy the sensation with the girl wide eyed in surprise.
"She seems to like you for a first" the girl said with Delsin chuckling.
"What can I say, Animals seem to love me, just not the carnivorous ones, bad breath" Delsin said with the girl giggling, making Delsin smile before seeing an old fashioned automobile driving down the street, stopping at a phonograph store, making the girl follow his gaze with a frown, followed by Delsin noticing the civilians fleeing, making Delsin turn back to see the girl approaching three men harassing the shop owner, making him sigh in annoyance, seeing a small fire on an oven he held his right hand out towards it, followed by the smoke seeping into his hand, allowing him to follow the girl with his chain bracelet glowing.
"-You're in triple triad territory and we're about to put you to the hospital" the leader said with Delsin standing on the sidelines, smoke floating off his pocketed hands
"You're the ones that are gonna need a hospital, and for your sake, I hope there's one nearby" the girl said while punching her open hand.
"Just who do you think you are?'
"Why don't you find out" the girl said with Delsin acting on instinct, sent a Sulfur Headshot to the leader, who fell to the ground in one go, making the three turn to see Delsin's outstretched hand smoking, a playful smirk present.
"Thought I'd even the odds" Delsin said before he used a smoke dash to appear between the two, slamming both heads together with a proud smile, making the girl lift up both hands with a slow clap.
"Impressive"
"I aim to please, especially, for one so beautiful" Delsin said before picking a flower from a pot of plants, smoke dashing to the girls side, holding the flower out for her.
"Aren't your cliché?"
"I get that a lot" Delsin said before being sent into the sky by a square earth block, righting his fall with his smoke thrusters, dropping to his feet after the girl sent the bulky guy in the air, followed by the other guy, skinny, he was easily taken down by head butt, after the girl blocked a torrent of fire by diverting it.
"Am I awesome or what?" the girl questioned with Delsin approaching the stall owner.
"Are you alright?" Delsin questioned with his hand out, helping the owner carefully.
"I don't know why others say your benders are repressing us, but you two seem alright" the owner said with Delsin shaking the man's hand, turning to the girl
"What bender are you, that didn't look like air bending"
"I'll tell if you give a name" Delsin said with a smirk, making the girl blush while fixing her hair.
"Korra, the new Avatar" the girl said with Delsin standing still in surprise, though inwardly he was thinking
'HOLY SHIT THAT WAS EASY!'
I forgot to mention I own nothing but my ideas
