Hello to everyone who reads this message; this is the Prime Writer with yet another story that you may or may not like. Sorry if the title seems a bit sucky, but this is the best I could come up with.
To anyone who did not see the Young Justice finale for whatever reason, or to those who forgot what happened, allow me to tell you/remind you what happened. The Reach scattered a series of MFDs (Magnetic Field Disruptors) across the world in an attempt to destroy the Earth. The last MFD, which had activated itself, would have destroyed the Earth had Impulse, Flash, and Kid Flash not canceled the MFD energy with their kinetic energy. Unfortunately, Wally's slower speed meant that the MFD energy was channeling into him instead of the speed trails, and Wally literally disappeared in a flash of light.
Everyone in the world and the League assumes Wally to be dead, and so do a fair number of Young Justice fans, though some of the more optimistic fans believe that he may have just disappeared or was transported somewhere. Personally, I like the idea of Wally having been teleported because it would make a great plot point for a third season of Young Justice…if they ever make one; also, Wally was one of my favorite characters on that show.
This fanfiction deals with the idea that Wally was transported to the World of Avatar during the time period of the Legend of Korra TV series. Wally gets teleported by the MFD energy to the South Pole of that world, not too far from the compound where Korra is staying. Wally and Korra befriend each other, emphasis on friend, and Wally joins Korra on her journey to Republic City. Everyone make note that Wally and Korra will not become boyfriend/girlfriend; Wally is still in love with Artemis, and I will put in the love-triangle of confusion that is Korra-Mako-Asami.
Now for the disclaimer; Legend of Korra is owned by Nicktoons, Young Justice is owned by DC Comics and Cartoon Network. With all that out of the way, which was a bit longer then I expected, here comes the first chapter of A Speedster among Benders.
Chapter 1: Arrival
When Wally came to, he realized three things; 1: he was lying on the ground, 2: the air and the ground were both really cold, 3: he was hungry again. Forcing his eyes open, the red-haired speedster Wally West, known to most of the world as the hero Kid Flash, forced himself into a sitting position, causing him to become aware of a mild headache. He opened the wrist container on his left wrist that contained an energy bar and took it out before he put his left hand to his head.
After the headache had died down a bit, Wally unwrapped the energy bar and began chewing it while he went over what had happened in the last few hours. He remembered that the Reach, aliens bent on enslaving humanity for manual labor and the weaponization of the Meta-Gene, had planted a series of magnetic field disruptors, MFDs, across the world in an attempt to destroy it after their original plan for Earth's conquest fell through thanks to the Team's interference.
Wally and his girlfriend Artemis were assigned to take out an MFD in Paris, which they did…after which they got lost in a kiss for several minutes. Lucas Carr had come in over the comm. link and said that all the MFDs had been taken out, and he'd been relieved, but then Blue Beetle called in saying that another MFD was up at the North Pole, not having been detected previously because of it's location near the North Magnetic Pole. Impulse and Flash ran over to the MFD's location to try and take it out, but it had already gone into the second phase, where it would begin Earth's destruction.
Things seemed doomed until Lex Luthor (he still couldn't believe that he had helped them) contacted them and told them that the kinetic energy that Impulse and Flash create at top-speed might be enough to drain the MFD energy. However, the MFD energy wasn't draining fast enough, prompting him to take a zeta-tube as close to the MFD site as he could before he ran over to help them.
The energy was draining, but it was being channeled into him instead of teh speed trails; every time he was hit with some MFD energy, he would become translucent, his atomic structure starting to fall apart. Just before he disappeared, he told his mentor to tell Artemis and his family that he loved them, then oblivion. The question now was how is he still alive, and where exactly was he?
After finishing the energy bar, Wally slowly got up and looked around. The landscape was similar to the Arctic region he was in, but there are a lot more mountains in this area then there was where he vanished. The sky was black from nightfall, with a half-moon in the sky. After a couple more seconds of looking around, Wally put his hand to his comm. link and tried contacting the Watchtower.
"Kid Flash to Watchtower, do you read?" All he got was static. He tried again. "Kid Flash to Watchtower, do you read?" Again, he received static. He switched frequencies to the one he used to contact Artemis or his mentor Flash. "Kid Flash to Artemis, do you read? Flash do you read?" Nothing.
Getting desperate, he widened the frequency to all channels. "Does anyone read me, or hear me?" Nothing happened. Either his comm. link was broken, which he doubted, or no one could read him because there was no one to read him. Wally sighed and muttered "What have I gotten myself into this time?"
Wally checked his wrist communicator for any communications it could pick up. There were faint radio signatures, but they were too weak and too far away for them to be a concern. Their general direction was confusing at first; the vast majority of them originated northward, not southward from his location in the North Pole.
Wally checked his GPS navigator, but there were no GPS signals being recieved, or for that matter, no satelite signals whatsoever. Wally then looked to his computer's compass, which confirmed his theory; he was at the South Pole instead of the North Pole.
Wally didn't want to admit it, but that was further evidence that he wasn't on Earth anymore, at least not the Earth he knew. Wally felt the chill of his surroundings when a breeze began building up. "Probably best to find shelter and sort this out in the morning." With that, he began running towards a rocky outcrop a few miles to the north.
At his max speed, almost breaking the sound-barrier, Wally reached the outcrop in minutes. He found a small cave with an opening big enough for him to fit through; not really the best choice, but given the quickening breeze and the lack of options, Wally would have to make do with what he could find.
Just managing to squeeze through, Wally found that the cave was about two-thirds his height, and there was a spot far enough back from the entrance for him to get some degree of comfort without the wind blowing in.
As he cleared away some snow and tried to get comfy, Wally wondered how he was going to get home, or even if it was possible. Well, no matter what, Wally was not going to give up. He would find his way back to his home, no matter how long it took…or how angry Artemis and his parents would be.
The next morning, at a compound a few miles from Wally's location, one of its residents was especially excited. That person is a 17-year-old teenage girl with dark-brown skin and hair, bright blue eyes, and an attractive yet well-muscled body. Her name is Korra, and she is the Avatar, making her responsible for maintaining balance in the world, and the only person in the world able to bend all four elements.
Unlike her predecessor, the peaceful Avatar Aang, Korra is a very tough and headstrong young woman who is not scared to get into a fight. Her sheltered life also means that she's a tad naïve about the outside world. Although she is a talented bender, her stubborn, tenacious, and hot-headed personality prevents her from easily learning Airbending or connecting with the Spirit World. Her best friend is a polar bear dog named Naga, whose strength helps Korra out of many dangerous situations. Beneath her tough exterior, Korra possesses a kind heart and a strong loyalty toward her comrades and duty as the Avatar and an admirable compassion seen in moments when she expresses love toward things such as Naga or her family and friends.
Right now, Korra was heading to her aforementioned best friend Naga. Naga is the first Polar Bear Dog to ever be trained by anyone. After she was adopted by Korra, Naga was trained by her to be a mount, and since then, Naga has become undyingly loyal to Korra, who describes her as a total sweetheart despite her intimidating appearance.
Korra spoke excitedly upon seeing the curled-up ball of white fur that was Naga. The reason for her excitement: she passed her Firebending test. "Naga, you should have seen it!" Naga instantly perked up upon seeing her friend and began wagging her tail.
"I kicked some Firebender butt, and I passed! Tenzin will be here in a few days." Korra scratched Naga's head, and Naga responded by happily licking Korra, causing Korra to laugh in amusement.
A few minutes later, Korra, who had changed into a hooded parka with long pants and furry boots, was riding Naga on her [Naga's] saddle and approaching the ornately carved door of the compound. A sentry noticed her and looked down at her. Korra called up in a happy voice. "Just taking Naga out for a stroll." At the guard's unsure look, Korra folded her arms in annoyance and called up to him in a more irritated voice. "Don't worry, we're not going to go far."
The guard walked back and began opening the gate, causing Korra to start smiling. Once the gates were opened wide enough, Korra and Naga ran out onto the large, snow-covered plain outside the compound. Korra spoke to Naga. "Naga, go!" This prompted Naga to start running even faster.
"That a girl! Go! Go! Go!" As Naga ran even faster, Korra couldn't help but let out a smile. She didn't know what was going to happen, other then her beginning her Airbending training, but she had a good feeling about the next few days. Little did Korra know that she would soon meet someone very interesting.
Wally woke up with a pain in his back, a groan from his mouth, and a growl from his stomach. Sleeping on cold, hard dirt in a small cave did not equal a good night's sleep, and the energy bar he had last night had done little to alleviate his hunger.
He looked outside the small cave to see that the wind had died down. Squeezing through the hole, he stretched his sore muscles and tendons before looking around. Nothing but snow and rocks as far as he could see.
Taking another look at his wrist computer, he looked again at the direction of the radios signals he detected. As with last night, they were all originating from further north; much further north.
Still hoping to find some form of civilization, Wally locked on the direction of the strongest radio signal he was receiving, slipped his goggles down over his eyes, and began running in the direction of that radio signal.
Korra and Naga had been riding for about 15 minutes when Naga stopped to catch her breath. Korra got off and decided to let Naga rest for a minute while she [Korra] walked up to a small ridge, sat down, and began thinking about her life.
Korra's life had been far from normal; she and her parents found out she was the Avatar when Korra was 4, when she was able to bend water, earth, and fire. Those three elements came easily to her for some reason, though Airbending didn't, which frustrated her to no end.
While Korra normally wouldn't have found out she was the Avatar until she was 16, the fact that she could bend three elements at a young age meant that the White Louts agreed to build this special compound near her home village for her to train in safety until she had became a fully realized Avatar. Korra understood why she had to remain safe, but she was still annoyed that she had to remain in a compound for weeks on end with the White Lotus guards always watching her. Sometimes it really didn't feel all that different from being in a prison.
Korra spent several minutes ruminating over her life when she heard Naga growl. This got Korra worried. "What is it girl?" Naga turned her head to Korra's left, still baring her teeth. Korra turned her head in that direction but saw nothing. Naga growled again and turned her head to the right this time. Korra turned again and saw what got Naga all defensive.
Naga was growling at a relatively large, slender animal with a large descending rib cage and a sloping back, with dark-grey and dark-blue plated armor on its back and a coat of short, coarse, white fur covering the rest of its body, and a 'mask' of armor plating on the animal's face. That animal is an Armadillo-Wolf, a social but highly territorial predator that will not hesitate to attack anything that it perceives as a threat to its territory; a strange human and a Polar Bear Dog traveling together would definitely be perceived as a threat by them.
Korra heard more growling and turned to see a large pack of Armadillo-Wolves, about 20 total, standing on the small hills and ridges surrounding them; they were trapped. Korra got into a fighting stance as Naga started growling at the armored dogs, which growled back. If Korra knew one thing at this moment, it was that this was not going to be an easy fight.
Wally ran for several minutes until he had to stop and catch his breath. He stopped at the top of a small ridge to survey his surroundings; more rock, snow, and ice in all directions. Taking a couple more minutes to catch his breath, Wally was about to continue on until he heard what sounded like blasting nearby, and a few seconds later he heard the grinding of earth and the whooshing of flames.
He turned in the direction of the sounds to see a series of flames rising up out of nowhere, and a few rocks flying as well. Wally quipped to himself "This day just gets weirder and weirder." Pulling his goggles back over his eyes, Wally ran over to the source of the flames to investigate their cause.
Expecting to see some sort of volcanic vent or similar geological activaty, Wally was surprised to see a teenage girl and a dog the size of a polar bear fighting off a pack of arctic wolves with armadillo armor on their backs. The girl in question was fighting the wolves off by manipulating the earth from below her and by generating flames from her fists.
She and the massive dog were holding they're own, but they're also heavily outnumbered, and it was only a matter of time before the armored wolves overwhelmed them. One of the wolves managed to find an opening and jumped on the girl, but the bear-sized dog was too busy fighting off other wolves to notice. Wally decided to take action.
Setting his face in determination, Wally ran down the slope and barreled straight into the wolf on top of the girl, using his momentum to turn him into a human wrecking-ball. After the wolf got thrown a fair distance away, Wally turned his attention to the girl.
"You okay?" The girl looked surprised at his presence but she still nodded. Wally replied "Good." and proceeded to run towards the massive dog, which was having trouble fighting off all the armored wolves.
Wally barreled into three of them before tossing away another five with some high-speed kicks and punches. A couple wolves tried to jump on him when he stopped to catch his breath, but the girl knocked them back with a pair of fire-blasts.
By then, about a dozen of the wolves had gotten their second wind and began surrounding Wally, the girl, and the huge dog. Wally spoke to the girl in a serious voice.
"I have an idea that might save us, but I need you to trust me for it to work. I have enough energy to generate a fairly large whirlwind; as soon as I've made one, throw some fire-blasts into the whirlwind. Once enough of the fire-blasts are in the whirlwind, those wolf-things will get scared off. The speed I'll be traveling at will keep me from getting burnt, and the flames will be spread out enough so that those wolf-things will only get minor burns if they get close."
The girl nodded and replied with "Got it." With that, Wally ran towards the wolves before he began running in circles in one particular spot. After about 10 seconds, Wally had generated a decently-sized whirlwind. The girl followed his instructions and sent a few flame-blasts into the whirlwind, which began taking on an orangey color.
As Wally had said, the whirlwind wasn't harming him because he was running so fast, while most of the Armadillo-Wolves turned tail and ran off out of fear. Once all the wolves had left, Wally slowed down and let the flaming whirlwind dissipate before stopping completely.
The girl approached him cautiously and asked "Who are you?" Wally smiled gently and introduced himself. "My friends and family call me Wally West, but where I'm from, most people know me as Kid Flash."
The first chapter of my latest story is now complete. I was honestly expecting something longer for the first chapter, and I'm sorry for anyone who did not get the long chapter you were hoping for. This first chapter is really a series of introductory paragraphs meant to introduce the two main characters, Wally and Korra. If you were hoping for more dialogue, please wait until the next chapter. Also, just so you guys and gals know, both Wally and Kid Flash will be used interchangeably throughout the future chapters.
In the next chapter, Wally and Korra give each other more thorough introductions, and much confusion results from they're respective life-stories. In Korra's case, she has a hard time believing that Wally could come from a world with practically no benders and highly advanced technology. Wally on the other hand has to deal with a lot of people having super-powers that are mystical in origin, not scientific. Korra takes Wally to the compound, where Wally settles in a bit until he can get back home. Until the next chapter comes, the Prime Writer will be signing off now. Thank you to anyone and everyone who reads this fanfic; please leave a review,, and comments and constructive criticism are appreciated, but absolutely no flaming unless you really feel like you have to flame.
