Hi new readers and people coming back! The first chapter is being written so enjoy. This is the story about Nathan, the avatar of the 21st century in his journey to stop the world's most powerful bender from impersonating the Avatar and trying to control the world. For the record Nate has no idea he's the Avatar.
Ert! Ert! Ert!
A young man woke up quickly. The annoying sound of the alarm clock surrounded the room. He got up, a bit confused and smacked the clock onto snooze mode. His cocoa brown hair was the victim of severe bed head and his green eyes were still extremely sleepy.
"Oh yeah… the first day of school. What a freaking joy," the young man thought to himself.
The young man's father traveled up the stairs looking in the room. He sighed, "Really Nate? C'mon. Get up!!! First day of school!!"
Nate pulled the covers over his head, "You know, I think I'll take another summer vacation."
"Nathan Connor Daniels… this is your father speaking. I order you to get up!" he dad said he a funny joking voice.
Nate only replied with several moans.
"C'mon Nate, the first day. Don't make me do it," said his Dad.
Nate just replied with a groan that actually meant, "Fine…"
"Nate?" asked his dad. Nate was going to slowly get out of bed but…
"Nathan Connor Daniels, you get your butt out of bed, now!" said his dad. His dad moved his arms and then the bed floated in mid air, then he flipped it over and Nate fell on the floor.
"What the hell?? I was getting out of bed!!" yelled Nate.
"Yes, I'm sure…" his dad replied.
Nathan rolled his eyes, and his dad commented, "I saw that. Don't make me metal bend your bed out the window. Now get ready for school."
Nate grabbed a red t shirt that had the words hollister on it, brown cargo pants and his gray sandals. He walked down stairs and into the kitchen. His whole family was busy bending. His mom was teaching his younger sister, Susanna, a water bending technique. Nate's dad was metalbending a fence in the front yard figuring how best to place it. Even his grandpa was lava bending in the back in the spout hole he made for himself.
And then there's Nathan Connor Daniels. Just your average teenage earthbender, with average grades. At least that what he tells everyone. Nate noticed that he has an extreme ability for bending. He's always been extremely except he doesn't like all the attention so he usually hides his abilities.
His friends sometimes make fun of him saying his bending should be with an ulli that really wants it. Ulli are non-bending people.
Many people are ulli's, but because of it are treated differently. Nate's school is filled with both ulli's and benders. Except the benders are treated better and even get special treatment sometimes, even the bully benders.
"Is my baby ready for the first day of tenth grade!" said Nate's mom, Carol happily.
"Aw mom… stop with the baby stuff." moaned Nate.
"Come on now Nathan. Don't be like that." she said.
Nate's grandfather, on his dad's side accidentally spilled lava on the grass.
"Dad! Clean that up!" said Carol. Mrs. Daniels continued with her conversation with Nathan.
"Nate's just jealous because I could probably beat him up." said Susanna sticking out her tongue at Nate.
"Aw, shut up and go bend some bubbles." said Nate.
"Both of you, stop it. Susanna, go get ready." she continued to speak with Nate. "Nate, just take the puss off. Be excited. And stop holding yourself back."
"Whatever, I'll catch you guys later." he said taking his bag from the table and heading out in the front. "Bye dad."
"Have a good day at school. And don't show off too much!" his dad replied jokingly.
Nate walked down the block and waiting a few minutes until his bus finally arrived. This wasn't an ordinary bus though. This bus was designed for schools such as Nathan's. It was twice the length of a normal bus and almost twice as wide. The long white bus had his school's symbol of a phoenix on both sides.
These buses are made to hold bender students. Nathan's school isn't to normal either. His school PhoenixKing High School was a prestigious high school that housed some of the most gifted benders in the world. Nate has connections from his parents and they were able to move into the town to get Nathan this great opportunity.
Nate stepped onto the bus and there was already mayhem. Air currents swished by him with the occasional fire ball in the air.
He walked to the back and sat across from his two best friends, Denny Gaunt and Lily Green.
Denny, a sand bender, had messy dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. He was skinnier then most kids and always was the optimist, cheering people up at any moment. His backpack composed mostly of sand and he just held his books.
Lily, a plant bender, had long… well… her hair color was different… again. Lily changes her hair color often. Now it was a shamrock green. Her hair flowed beautifully down to her chest. She had royal blue eyes that stuck out. Lily, an avid bender, loves life and uses her bending abilities a lot. She believes it can make life so much easier and wishes everyone could bend.
"Nate, mah man! What's up bro!?" Denny asked pounding Nate's fist.
Nathan grinned, "Ah, you know man. Another year of torture," he said while putting his hands behind his head and resting his eyes.
Denny frowned, "I swear I'm going to just slap you one day."
Lily laughed and Nate just rolled his eyes while smiling.
"Hey, let's exchange schedules," Lily suggested taking her class schedule from her back pack. Nate and Denny did the same and they passed it around.

"It won't be so bad. We have a lot of classe together," Lily said looking at the three schedul… Ah!" Lily was cut off when a fireball zoomed past her face nearly hitting her.
"Hey! What the hell!" Nate yelled.
A big figure stood up: Tyler Jennings, one of the most powerful benders in the entire school, a firebender, and he wasn't the nicest person either.
"Is there a problem??" he asked acting really tough.
"Yeah. There is!" Nate said getting up in his face, "watch where your hurling fireballs. You should apologize!"
"Yeah? Maybe you should sit and shut the hell up!" Tyler said shoving Nathan back into his seat. Nate was about to get up again when Denny put his arm out.
"Stop!" he said to Nate, he then turned to Tyler, "Look we don't want any trouble. Just go sit down and we'll just forget it, okay?"
Tyler looked at them in disgust and turned around.
"Psh, I was about to rearrange his face," Nate said rather loudly. Tyler heard this and turned around.
"Oh you were gonna what now?" Tyler said stepping towards Nate.
Denny stood up and bent sand in front of the two of them. "STOP! WHAT THE HELL!" he said mad. "We're already here! Just drop it!"
"I was going to drop it. I'll see you around Nate Daniels," Tyler said eyeing down Nate. Nate didn't drop the gaze until Tyler left the bus.
While the three of them were exiting the bus Denny said to Nate, "Dude, we haven't even gotten to school yet and your picking fights."
"He launched a fireball at Lily!!" Nate argued in protest.
"It was probably an accident," Lily said shyly. "Besides, he one of the strongest benders! He's only in our grade but he's in Firebending VI!!"
"Six???" Nate asked astonished. "Wow… Look, let's just get to class. History of bending…"
Their teacher, Mr. Cosger was an old man, in his mid sixties and very boring. For most of the period, like every other first day of school, Mr. Cosger explained the expectations of the class and the requirements.
In the beginning of the year they would be talking about the turn of the millennium when records of an Avatar disappeared. The Avatar was a spiritual person, who could bend all of the elements. It was supposedly a spirit that would reincarnate with each life into a new bending nation. All evidence of the Avatar disappeared at the year 0.
A book called The Avatar was written about the adventures of a boy avatar named Aang and his friends. It's an epic poem like The Odyssey that were required reading over the summer.
The legend of the Avatar is now only a story told at bed time to little children, nothing more than Santa Claus.
After first period, 40 minutes of death, the three friends parted their ways to their individual classes. The period past with the three friends meeting at P.E.
There are six gymnasiums. There is the normal gym that is a basketball court, an earthbending gym (which Nathan is in) that has a stone floor and several giant rocks sticking out of the ground. There is a waterbending gym which is a giant pool with some ice platforms, a firebending gym that has a metal floor and is marked with Agni Kai markings, and an airbending gym that has several platforms in the air held by wires.
"So, first day! What're you guys thinking so far?" asked Lily excitedly.
"I think I could get use to it. It's high school," said Nathan smiling.
A fireball zoomed over their heads.
"Bullsye. So Daniels!" Tyler said to Nate. "We never finished our fight."
"You don't get it do you? Back off!!" screamed Lily.
"I didn't ask you!" shouted Tyler throwing a fireball at Lily. Lily screamed but Denny bending the sand on the floor and around him in the air to block it.
"Knock it off!" Denny begged. Nathan began to breath heavily.
"Your pathetic!" Tyler said throwing another fireball at Nate. No teachers were around yet.
Some of Tyler's groupie friends tailed him laughing.
Tyler threw three more fire balls at the trio. This time they scattered.
Nathan continued to look in horror as his friends ran for cover, being attacked by a fellow student.
"What're you looking at?!" shouted Tyler as he hurled a fireball at Nathan. Nathan flinched his arm and a giant rock from the ground flew up into the air. Tyler widened his eyes along with everyone else in the room.
Tyler breathed in heavily and spewed a giant blast of fire from his mouth.
Nathan instinctively summoned a giant rock wall. Then his eyes slowly began to glow brightly along with his mouth.
For all readers I would like you to know this isn't going to be a high school drama fic. There will probably be about 7 chapters out of the 60 I have planned where Nate is in the school. So it's probably a lot different then you think. Keep reading! Review also!
