Avatar Reincarnation

"Kaia?" Aang yelled. He was lifting rocks, flying at certain areas, he used all the water from the nearby supply in case she was swimming, he even used fire- he was searching for his daughter.

Kaia giggled and flung herself up into the air, making a barrier of rock around her father. She slid down the rock, as if snowboarding and she ran around the barrier lining it with fire. She saw a puddle of water and held it at the ready.

Aang smiled and blasted through the barrier and took the water from Kaia to put out the fire. "Kaia. Your mother and I have to tell you something."

Kaia, only fifteen, slid down another rock and flung herself over the stream and landed in front of him. "K." She pushed herself up onto Appa with a gust of air and laughed. "Yip Yip!"

"To the Southern Air Temple!" Aang grinned and flung himself on. Where had the years gone? She was fifteen…

Katara was waiting, and Momo was running around in circles beside her.

"Aang, where have you been!" she cried.

"Kaia was having too much fun." He shrugged.

"You mean you? Sometimes I feel like you're still the person that you were when I first met you."

"Katara…" He smiled. "Kaia, go to the avatar sanctuary with your mother."

Kaia skipped ahead, and made one last glance at her father and continued on.

Kaia unlocked the room and they went in, going to the most recent avatar on there. Aang. Her father. The only one depicted as a kid. How proud she was! Her father- the avatar.

"It's dad." Kaia smiled.

"You know why you can control all four elements?"

Kaia shrugged. "Heredity?"

"Maybe…it could have also chose you for a reason. You could be the next avatar."

"But doesn't the avatar have to die?" Kaia asked.

"I used to think that too- but how else can you have all four? You should only be able to control air or water- not even both. Maybe none. But you do. It's a gift."

"Hmm…have you told Uncle Sokka this theory?"

"No- I've been meaning to go- but we haven't had the time." Katara looked homesick.

"Well- then we'll go! C'mon." Aang appeared and motioned for them to follow. He'd do anything for his family- especially Katara.

As they flew down on Appa to the South Pole- Kaia sat on Appa himself, and made a bed out of his fur.

She had been close to sleeping when they got there.

"Is that Kaia? No- she's too big to be my niece." A voice laughed at its own lame "joke."

"Uncle Sokka!" Kaia jumped up and climbed off Appa and gave her uncle a huge hug.

"How's my favorite niece?" he laughed.

"She's your only niece Sokka." Katara snorted.

"Katara!" He held out his arms.

Katara then got tears in her eyes and ran into her big brother's arms. "I've missed you so much." Katara clung to him.

"Same here Katara. You should come down more often."

Katara wiped her eyes and Aang came over.

"Sokka! What's up!" They high-fived.

"Nothing much since I don't really see the avatar much anymore."

"Eh…sorry." The three old friends burst into laughter.

Then Sokka's wife came out of the tent.

"Aunt Suki!" Kaia smiled. "Cousin Susie!" She ran to them and Susie and Kaia hugged.

Suki continued over to the three. "Why does she look so troubled?" Suki asked.

"Kaia has all four elements as her powers and we fear that the avatar balance has somehow been upset. She could be a secret weapon of some sort…I don't know." Aang explained. Then he saw the penguins.

"Penguin sledding!" He grabbed Katara's arm and she laughed at the inner child still there in Aang. They got there and saw Kaia and Susie already riding penguins.

Kaia's parents grabbed their own parents and sledded as well. How nice it was to be back here.

The next morning, Kaia and Susie snuck onto Appa and they laughed as they went in the direction of the fire nation.

"Hang on everyone!" Aang concentrated an brought all four parents up onto the flying bison.

"Man." Susie moaned.

"Susie. You are sixteen! Act like it." Sokka sternly told her.

"That is no way to treat a child." Katara fired back at her brother.

Susie couldn't bend the elements- but she had picked up the ways of a warrior of Kyoshi and of the South Pole. She took out her dad's old boomerang and fired it at her dad.

It hit his head. "Ow!" he pouted. And the others laughed.

They reached the palace and they got off and saw an old friend. "Zuko?" Katara asked.

"Katara! Aang! Sokka! It's been so long. You must stay for a bit. Meet my family. You know Mai- and that's our son- Aaron."

"Hi…" Kaia blushed at the fire prince, twirling her brown hair around her finger. The scent of her caught a tracker's nose that was acting as a guard.

"A girl avatar…at least she can bend all four elements…tell the former Fire Lord that's in the prison!" he whispered.

Susie frowned at Kaia. "Hey Aaron." She played around with her hair as well, but it was shorter- so the effect wasn't the same as Kaia's.

"Let's walk around." Aaron suggested, smiling at Kaia.

"Sure." she hooked onto Aaron's arm and turned to go as- "Well Susie, aren't you coming?"

And Susie ran to catch up.

"You're a master of fire bending?" Impressive. "Maybe you could teach me." One point for Kaia, zero for Susie.

But before he could answer, they were being led to a cell by a guard.

"Ah- the princess if you will." Ozai examined Kaia.

"What?"

"She's the next avatar isn't she?" He grabbed Aaron. "I'll kill him. And that one over there too."

Kaia's spirit ignited and she was suddenly in the air with the water from the air swirling around her, loose earth slipped out and surrounded her and she formed fire and pushed it towards Ozai.

He took it. He had gained back some fire bending power back.

"The new avatar. Tell m what is your name? Is Aang dead? Is that it?"

"Kaia!" Aaron gasped, struggling to get away from his grandfather.

Kaia's eyebrows furrowed and she used a gust of wind to free her friends.

Ozai slammed back against the back of his cell.

"Let's go!" Kaia screamed. She blew the bison whistle her father had given to her in case of emergency and they ran out of the prison, past Azula…she saw all the guards chasing them and she had a feeling soon, a new adventure would begin. About time. 17 years.

The younger generation got on the bison as he swooped in as soon as they got into the fresh air.

Once they were up in the air, they looked down and saw Mai and Zuko. "Aaron!" they called.

Sokka and Suki stood there, gaping.

"Kaia." Katara whispered. She turned to Aang with hope in her eyes.

"I can't." And then Katara cried into her husband's shoulder.

"I'm sorry…It's Ozai. I haven't mastered Earth and Fire completely, I need to stop him." Kaia mouthed down to the awestruck parents.

Aang nodded. As far as the rest of the fire nation knew, Aang was still avatar. And he was- but Ozai and Azula and their loyal guards would chase after Kaia.

When they were out of sight, Kaia finally relaxed and she saw big ears pop up from the top of Appa's head. She climbed up an laughed, "Momo!" She grabbed the lemur and went down to her friends.

Susie decided to drive…or fly rather?

Kaia sat there, looking back at the small dots that remained of her vision of the Fire Nation.

"Still need a fire bending teacher?" Aaron smiled as he squatted next to Kaia.

"Yeah thanks." Kaia smiled and they locked eyes. Then after looking into his eyes for a while she turned away from the cute, black-haired, kind fire prince.
