Hey there everyone. Mastergamer here with the first of the "Call to Battle" series. See how Aang and Zuko became apart of the war between Cosmos and Chaos. This story takes place a few months after the hundred year war ended. Expect to see the characters of Avatar, along with my own character, who you will be surprised to see who that character becomes. Now sit back and enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar or Dissidia. I do own the OC's in this story.


Chapter 1: The calm before the storm, a future legend.

Peaceful

That was the atmosphere surrounding the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se. The small country-like city has really been doing well since the end of the war. The damage it sustained during the final battle was repaired in just a few months. Life in Ba Sing Se went back as it was before fell to the Fire Nation. The farmland between the outer and inner walls were prospering, constantly producing food for the city. The city itself was now the same as it was before. The lower ring was still home to those who lost their homes during the war, it was also still a place where you have to watch out for with all the small crimes. The middle ring was still home to the middle-class populace, not much has changed here. And the upper ring still housed the upper class populace, but the tense and nervous atmosphere it had was gone do to the Dai Li being disbanded. All in all, Ba Sing Se was well.

Our attention is brought to a familiar tea shop in the upper ring. The Jasmine Dragon has also been prospering, half due it having the best tea in the city, and half due to it being the tea shop the avatar frequently visits.

The avatar and his friends have been doing well since the end of the war. Aang has become a symbol of justice to the people of the Ba Sing Se, and to the world. Katara has been keeping herself busy by practicing her waterbending, hoping to become stronger than she already is. She has also been kept busy by protecting her claim by chasing off ravenous fan girls looking to get a bit too comfy with Aang. Sokka has been refining his swordsmanship and his battle tactic making, this was done by wildly swinging a stick at practice dummies, with poorly drawn pictures of former enemy faces attached to their heads. His relationship with Suki was also doing fine, although, don't bet on him winning any arguments or having the final decision in most things, when you have a girlfriend who could kick the stuffing out of you your health is safer if you don't defy her. Toph was well, surprisingly, she was asked to train new Earth Kingdom army recruits, imagine her joy when, after her intense training, she gets to hear big, tough, strong men cower at the mere sight of the small twelve year old.

We draw our attention back to the Jasmine Dragon. Our heroes, along with other patrons in the shop, were enjoying the tea and atmosphere in the tea shop.

At the table where our heroes were sitting at, they were busying themselves to their own devices. Aang and Katara were calmly drinking their tea in a proper manner. Toph was leaning back in her seat with her bare feet on the table, while blowing her bangs out of her eyes and picking her ear. Suki was just shaking her head at the sight of her boyfriend constantly polishing his, recently retrieved, meteorite sword. She decided to voice her thoughts.

"Sokka, your arm's going to go numb if you don't stop."

"Hey, I gotta keep this thing in tip-top shape." Sokka replied as his attention was still on polishing his sword "It took me weeks to find this in that huge forest. This sword has to be in its best condition so that I won't lose it again, until then its never leaving my side." he finished in a smug tone.

Katara, hearing what her brother said, decided top poke fun at him.

"Not leaving your side, huh? What, do you take baths with it now?" she asked in a teasing voice.

Sokka just looked at her with an annoyed expression.

"Of course not, that'd be silly." he proclaimed, going back to polishing his sword.

"Or do you sleep with it after telling it a bed time story?" Katara asked with a smirk.

Sokka stopped polishing his sword for a few seconds before turning to his sister with an annoyed face.

"Shut up!" after he said that he went back to polishing his sword, an embarrassed expression clearly on his face. Everyone just laughed at the sight of his face.

"Man Sokka, you're one complicated guy." Aang teased.

"I should make fun of you for sleeping with a teddy bear, but I'll let it slide since your teddy bear is a sword." teased a smirking Toph.

"Hmph!" was Sokka's only response as the others continued to laugh at his expense.

"I see that you're all enjoying yourselves."

The group turned to see that the voice came from the owner of the tea shop, Iroh.

The group just smiled at the old man as he placed a pot of tea onto their table. Sitting in the empty seat at the table, Iroh decided to join the kids in their relaxation.

"So, what have you kids been doing lately?" asked Iroh.

"Nothing much." answered Aang "Just been doing some training and some relaxing."

"Its good to see you adjusting to current life after everything that's happened." replied Iroh.

"Yeah, its still hard to believe that the war ended six months ago." said Katara.

"Now that I think about, we haven't had much to do since the war ended." replied Sokka "Makes you think that, even with the training we've been doing, we've all been slacking off."

"'You've' all been slacking off. I've been keeping busy by whipping these so called Earth Kingdom soldiers into shape." Toph said in a smug tone"I even heard one of them start to cry during training."

"Only you would find making grown men cry funny Toph." Katara said flatly. The blind earthbender just grinned at the comment.

While this was going on, Aang decided to voice an idea he's had for a while. Turning to Iroh, the young avatar decided to ask the seasoned firebender a question.

"Speaking of kingdoms, how's Zuko been doing?" he asked the old man "Its been a while since we've seen him."

Iroh just smiled after hearing this. After taking a sip of tea he answered

"He has been doing well as Fire Lord, the Fire Nation has really been cleaning up its act."

"That's good. But it can't be easy for them to change, especially the firebenders. No offense, but most of them aren't exactly the living in peace types." said Sokka

"I see what you're talking about." Iroh responded "The current firebenders have been taught that they and their nation are the most powerful nation in the world and that their true potential lies in combat. Having to learn that their nation is not as perfect as they thought and that the Fire Nation's rise to power by conquering the world was undone, and that there's not going to be any battles to fight in soon, its easy to suspect that some of them aren't happy with the way things are now."

"I think I understand." said Suki "Its not easy for the Fire Nation to undo all the things its people were taught for the past hundred years."

"I agree, and so does Zuko." replied Iroh "That's why he's come up with, what I think is, a brilliant plan for the future."

This gained the attention of the whole group. Seeing their anticipation, Iroh chuckled before speaking.

"Zuko has had this idea for a few weeks now. He has recently brought forth this idea to the Earth King, the king of Omashu, and the Tribal Chiefs of the north and south poles."

"He spoke with our dad?" was the response from a surprised Katara and Sokka.

"Yes, and, fortunately, he and the other leaders have agreed to this idea."

"Well, what are you waiting for, tell us!" spoke an eager Toph.

The old firebender just smiled, anticipating the group's reaction to the news. Without further delay, he spoke.

"They are planning on building a city, a city to house people from all nations." the reactions from the group were exactly what Iroh imagined.

"A city?" uttered Aang.

"For all nations?" uttered Katara.

"Yes." answered Iroh "Imagine it, people from all nations living in one community, people sharing their culture with others, the next generation of each nation going to school with each other. Zuko believes that by having people from all over live in this city, unity in this world will become stronger."

The group was silent as they digested the information they just heard. They all thought about what could be accomplished if this city were to fall through. Katara was the first to speak.

"I gotta say, this plan actually sounds like a good idea."

"For once, I agree with you." said Toph.

"The idea has merit." said Sokka " Having people from all over the world living in one place, it could work."

"If you think about it, it could be for the best." exclaimed Suki "With everyone living together they'll have work with one another, and in a few years, everyone will see each other as equals."

"That's the idea." replied Iroh "I believe that a few years after the city is built, no one will think that any one nation is better than the rest."

Everyone imagined what it would be like in such a place, people of different nations living together, sharing their knowledge and culture with each other. While everyone else was thinking about this new city, Aang was deep in thought about how this would help with his own idea. Seeing that something else was on the young airbender's mind, Iroh decided to speak.

"Aang, you seem to be deep in thought. Anything you want to share with us?" he asked.

Everyone's attention was now on Aang, as he tried to think of a way to explain his thoughts.

"Well, I've been giving this a lot thought for the past month." he explained "I was thinking about teaching airbending to other people."

After he said this everyone stared at him, like he had grown a second head.

"Uh, Aang? Not to burst your bubble, but teaching airbending is gonna be next to impossible." said Sokka.

"Yeah Aang, it isn't exactly something anyone can learn just by trying." said Katara.

"Well that's the thing, I think it can." responded the monk "Remember when we were at the swamp, we learned that everything's connected, that everything's the same. That includes every living person."

"Yeah, so?" asked Sokka.

"So, if everyone's the same then everyone has the power to learn airbending, if not the other bending styles." answered Aang "If given the chance and drive I'm sure its possible." Aang then turned to Toph "Toph, if you hadn't ran away from home when you were young do you think you'd be the earthbender you are today?"

Toph seemed to have given the question a lot of thought. After a few moments she answered.

"Now that you mention it, if I hadn't ran away, I wouldn't have met the Badger-moles, and I wouldn't have learned earthbending or how to use it to see. If I didn't run away, I'd have been what everyone saw me as, a helpless, blind, little girl."

Aang seemed to be pleased with this answer. Turning to Katara, he asked her a question.

"What about you Katara? When did you start learning waterbending?"

Like before with Toph, Katara was giving this question a lot of thought. Turning to Aang, she gave him her answer.

"Now that I think about, the first time I learned about waterbending was when I was about five." she explained "A healer was sent from the north pole to our tribe to tend to our ill when our tribe doctor became sick herself. I was helping Gran-Gran tend to the ill until the healer arrived, when the healer arrived I was told to go home and rest, but I stayed because I wanted to see how the healer would help. I first learned about waterbending when I saw the healer cure our ill with her waterbending."

"See, that's what I mean." exclaimed Aang "If you'd have gone home like you were told to, you wouldn't have seen waterbending first-hand and you probably wouldn't have learned it and wouldn't have become the bender you are today!"

Everyone was processing what was just said. After a few moments of silence, Suki spoke up.

"So, if Toph hadn't ran away from home and Katara hadn't stayed and watched the healer, they wouldn't be benders that they are now." she summarized "But what does that have to do with teaching airbending to people?"

"Well, they were both given a chance to be the people they are today. If they hadn't have taken it they'd be regular people." Aang said "They had a chance to become benders, a chance that, I think, is given to anyone."

"What do you mean?" asked Sokka.

"If given the proper motivation and knowledge, anyone can learn airbending." Aang answered "if given the chance, anyone could learn airbending and, hopefully, pass it on to others, so that airbenders will once again be part of the world. Besides, I'm pretty sure that there are some people out there that could learn airbending easily."

"What makes you say that?" asked Toph.

"Remember, my people weren't just monks, they were nomads as well, meaning that they traveled the world a lot." he explained "There's a possibility that some of my people have descendants scattered across the globe. If they were found, then the culture of the Air Nomads will be brought back as well, that is assuming that they know they come from the Air Nomads."

Everyone stayed quiet as they processed this revelation. After a few moments, the silence was broken.

"You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." said Iroh.

"Yeah! I mean, if we were able to get from normal people to benders, then I'm sure its possible to teach people airbending." said Katara.

"Exactly! And with the All-Nation city the world leaders are planning on making, it will be more possible to revive the Air Nomads!" Exclaimed an excited Aang.

"Well then, I think that this deserves a toast." said Iroh as he raised his cup of tea.

Everyone raised their cups in response, the whole group now filled with a good feeling about the future.

"To the birth of a new unity, and the revival of a lost culture." Iroh proclaimed as everyone clanked their cups together and drank their tea, hopeful for the future. As they went back to talking about trivial things, they were unaware that they were being watched from outside the tea shop. If one were to look at the tree a few feet away from the shop, outside the window, they would've noticed glowing yellow eyes hidden in the shadows of the tree.


It was gloomy in the Fire Nation's Capital City Prison. The lowest of the low of the Fire Nation were held here, from mass murderers to domestic terrorists, you name one bad seed you'll be able to find them here. It just so happens that a guard was delivering lunch to one of the prisoners. This prisoner was the baddest of them all, but completely harmless given his current state.

The guard entered the desired cell room. There in the dark room, sitting inside the cold cage that filled half the room, completely covered in a dark-red hooded cloak, was the recipient of the tray of food in the guard's hands.

"Here you go your majesty." the guard mocked as he threw the tray of food through the bars, causing it to spill over the floor of the cage.

The prisoner just stared at the spilled food from under his hood, before turning his back to the guard and went back to staring at the wall. The guard decided to play with the prisoner's broken pride.

"Heh, oh how the mighty have fallen." said the guard with a smirk "To think that our former leader was bested by a child, maybe all that talk about you being the strongest firebender in the world was just a bunch of hype."

The guard then turned to walk out of the room. Stopping outside of the room, the guard decided to make one final insult.

"It seems that your kid is doing better than you. Everyone loves him more than they did you, just goes to show you how much a man's kid could outshine his old man." and with that, the guard closed the metal door to the room and walked away.

The prisoner just kept staring at the wall, remaining in his silent, emotionless state. Ten minutes had passed, when a feeling was felt by the prisoner. Turning to the the metal door outside his cage, he spoke.

"Well, its about time." he said in an annoyed tone.

A few seconds later, an oval-shaped mass of darkness appeared in front of the door. Soon after, a figure walked out of the portal, a figure in a black hooded coat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I had to gather the rest of our future allies." the figure apologized, though if one listened closely, they would realize that the hooded figure's apologetic tone was fake.

"Hmph! Did you bring it?" asked the prisoner.

The figure just lifted his hand. In a flash of light, a small red orb appeared in his hand. As if it had a mind of its own, the orb floated out of the figure's hand and flew between the cage bars to the prisoner. The prisoner lifted his hand up as the orb landed in his palm. The orb was warm to the touch and it had a specific use, a use he hoped would grant him that which was taken from him. Gripping the orb tightly, the prisoner watched as the orb seemed to have melted into his hand. Once the orb was gone the prisoner felt rejuvenated. His power has returned.

Walking up to the bars of his cage, he reached out and grabbed onto one of the bars. After he did this, the bar that he was holding started to glow orange. The bar glowed for a few more seconds before it seemingly melted into a pile of molten metal. The prisoner repeated this on three more bars, creating a n opening in his cage. Stepping out of his cage, the prisoner discarded his cloak before turning to the hooded figure.

"Well, what are we waiting for? We have a mission to do." he said with a smirk.

"Indeed." replied the figure.

Turning to the portal of darkness, both figures walked through it, leaving the prison. The portal disappeared soon after the two walked into it. This started a chain of events, events that will endanger this world, events that started with the escape of former Fire Lord Ozai.


It was another busy day in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se. merchants were trying to sell their merchandise, people were just trying to get through the day, and muggers hiding in the alleyways, waiting to make a fast buck.

It is in these crowded streets, where we now find Sokka and Katara.

"Tell me again why we're here." Katara flatly asked her brother.

"We're here to look for a blacksmith." replied Sokka "I'm looking to get a new sheath for my sword, and possibly to also get another sword."

"Another sword?"

"Yeah. You've seen how good I am with one sword, imagine how much better I'll be if I had two swords!" Sokka exclaimed in an excited tone.

"And by better you mean, not almost accidentally cutting of your own head again."

"Hey, that only happened once and I was still learning the basics." Sokka argued, clearly offended.

"Right. And why am I here?" Katara asked flatly.

"Because, Suki is with Toph, training recruits and Aang is busy talking with Iroh about his 'Bring-the-Airbending-Back' plan." replied Sokka as he was looking around the marketplace for a blacksmith.

The two of them kept walking for a few minutes before noticing a crowd up ahead. Being the curious teenagers that they are, the two of them went to the crowd to see what's going on. Reaching the outside of the crowd, Katara asked one of the people what was going on.

"Um, excuse me." she asked while tapping someone on their shoulder "What's going on here?"

The person she asked turned to her to answer "Some newcomer ticked off the local street gang and a fight's about to break out." he said before turning back to try to see some of the action.

Worried that someone will get hurt, Katara and Sokka pushed their way through the crowd, going to see if there was anyway to help.

They got to the front of the crowd just in time to see what was about to happen. Surrounded by the crowd, but not close enough for the crowd to be pulled into a fight should one occur, were a group of people. On one side of the street were a group of about ten tough and mean looking men, most likely the street gang they heard about. On the other side of the street was just one person. This person looked to be about eighteen years old. He looked like a traveler, if his clothes were any indication. The most unusual thing about him was his short, spiky, bright red hair, which was in a low short ponytail. If that wasn't weird enough, it was clearly seen that he was wearing a blindfold.

The street gang all had smirks on their faces, as if they were given some entertainment. They all stared at the redhead with anticipation. After a few seconds the leader of the gang walked forward, stopping a few feet from the redhead.

"Well?" the leader asked in a smug tone.

"Well what?" the redhead asked, clearly bored from the sound of his voice.

"Well, aren't you going to apologize?"

"For?"

"For? For bumping into me and making me spill the food I was 'generously given' by the food merchant here." answered the gang leader, who was starting to get annoyed with the redhead's disrespect.

Said redhead still looked uninterested in what the man was saying, he was looking around at the street, despite the blindfold.

"So you want me to say sorry? Well, okay. 'I'm sorry'" said the redhead in a sarcastic tone.

The gang leader was not pleased with the boy.

"Oh, its gonna take more than saying your sorry. Your gonna have to pay reparations." he said as he pulled out the sword he had on his back "Unless you, oh so obviously, can't see who your dealing with." he said as he raised the tip of his sword just a few inches from the redhead's face, particularly stopping it in front of his blindfold.

The redhead just let out a yawn as he was unintimidated by the the large man. Scratching his head, he looked(?) at the gang leader.

"Yeah, listen I'm a little short on money. And even if I did have any there's no way I'd give any to you lowlifes." he said before raising his hand to pinch his nose "Though you clearly need it, if your stink has any say in this." he finished with a smirk.

For any other person, that would not have been the smartest thing to do. The whole gang took offense to that as their faces were red with anger. The leader was clenching his teeth in rage, insulted by the mere sight of the redhead. Turning around and walking back to his gang, he gave one command to his gang.

"Crush him!"

The whole street gang grinned at the chance at letting out some steam by beating the blindfolded punk to a pulp. They started to charge at the redhead, their weapons being swung wildly above their heads.

Back in the, now retreating, crowd, Katara and Sokka were about to jump in front of the redhead to protect him from the gang, when they looked at the redhead. The older teen just had a small smile on his face. He then raised his right hand in front of him and pointed it at the incoming gang.

"I was hoping you'd do something like this." he happily stated as droplets of water started gathering in his hand. Soon after, the water droplets combined and formed a whip. With one raise of his arm, he swung his arm down in front of him, releasing his water whip on the head of the goon in front of the mob.

Said goon, being hit hard on the head by the water whip, fell backwards, causing his comrades to trip over him and fall to the ground. The redhead just laughed at what he did.

"Ouch! That sounded like it hurt." he taunted "Unless your looking to get your but kicked, I suggest that you stay on the ground."

The downed thugs just got angry with the punk. Getting up off of the ground they looked at the redhead, they were going to him in half. The redhead just smirked as they charged at him again, this was going to be fun.

As soon as the gang reached him, he unleashed his fighting abilities. Weaving between each swing of their weapons, the blindfolded youth was easily making quick work of the thugs. His movements in combat were flawless, as well as his bending abilities. A few minutes into the fight and the teen held the upper hand. Seeing as this guy was kicking their butts and that they were thugs, they decided to play dirty.

Feeling one of the thugs charge at him from the front, the redhead swung his whip at the thug, wrapping his whip around the thugs hands. The redhead gave a cocky grin.

"Is that all you've got?" he asked.

"No! This is!"

The teen was surprised to here this from both his sides. He soon sensed that two thugs were charging at him from each side. He didn't have enough time to retaliate. The goons were within range when they lifted their weapons over their heads, the one on the left had a large hammer and the one on the right had a sword. With all their might the thugs swung their weapons at the redhead.

Swoosh!

Clang!

At least they tried to. The thug on the left couldn't bring down his hammer, as his wrists were bound by water. Looking to where the water came from, the thug saw a young girl, the water around his wrists attached to the water whip she had in her hand.

The thug on the right made contact, but not with the redhead. Instead his sword made contact with a black-bladed sword. The sword was held by a young boy.

They were surprised at the appearance of the two kids. Said kids retaliated against the thugs. With a tug of her whip, Katara pulled the thug off his feet. Before the thug hit the ground, Katara released the water whip from his wrists and swung it at his head. The force of the hit sent the thug flying into a Cabbage cart. The thug was knocked out and the cabbage cart was destroyed. The cabbage merchant was not happy.

"My cabbages!" the merchant cried out as his cart was destroyed for the umpteenth time.

Back to the second thug, with a strong push, Sokka pushed the thug away before swinging his sword, effectively cutting the thug's sword in half. Before the thug could do anything, Sokka reached behind his back and pulled out his, recently retrieved, boomerang and threw it at the man's head. The boomerang hit the thug on his head, knocking him out before returning to its owner's hand.

The redhead, after dispatching the thug he was dealing with, turned to the two Water Tribe members.

"Thanks for that, I got careless." he said.

"No problem." said Sokka.

"Now, why don't we take care of these clowns." said a smirking Katara.

"Yeah, lets." said the redhead.

With the combined forces of the three teens, they were able to make short work of the street gang. Soon enough only the leader remained. Said leader was shaking at the knees, looks like he wasn't as tough as he looked. He was surrounded by the three fighters, the redhead in font of him. Said redhead looked(?) at the leader with a smirk.

"And then there was one." he said "Now then, what were you saying about apologizing?"

The leader just looked at the redhead with a frightened expression. Turning to the other teens behind him, he saw that they meant business. Turning back to the redhead, he jumped at seeing the redhead's face a few inches from his own.

"Boo!"

"Aahh!"

And with that the leader ran away from the trio. The redhead just laughed at the retreating form of the gang leader, before turning to the other two.

"Thanks for the help, though I could've taken care of them myself."

"Sure you could've." Katara teased before sticking out her hand "I'm Katara."

"I'm Sokka." said Sokka.

The redhead just looked(?) at them before smiling.

"Name's Hayate." he said as he shook Katara's hand "Hayate Uzumaki." he finished with a large, proud grin.
