Avatar: Legend of Ningen

Book 1: Fire

Chapter 1

''Taidana! This is not a perfect time to play hide and seek! Come out here, we have to train with Master Jukuren!''

''But Ningen! It's our last day, why should we go? By the way, I am not even hiding, just think better. It seems like you're dumb or something..''

''What do you mean..?''

''Oh.. never mind.''

Ningen hurried to Taidana's room, Ningen had a smirk on his face and was slightly embarrassed from the situation.

Taidana was in bed, he was grinning, looking at Ningen.

''Huh, maybe I am right, You are dumb.''

''Oh shut up, Taidana. I am just stressed, it's our last day, Master Jukuren will decide whether we become earth bending masters or not. So quit wasting time and get up!''

''Ugh, I will get up, as long as you stop whining.''

''Hurry up! You do realize that if we are late, every chance for us is gone. Master Jukuren is very strict.''

Taidana, without even replying, just nodded in agreement and grabbed some traditional Earth Kingdom clothes.

Ningen had already gone out waiting for him.

''Ugh, I cannot believe that I am 20 and more mature than a 28 year old man.'' Ningen muttered.

A few minutes later, Ningen saw Taidana running out of his house, breathing heavily, he said,

''Let's go''.

Ningen nodded and started running, Taidana followed him.

Ningen and Taidana live in a city called Senso, it's a small city of the Earth Kingdom, even if it has got advanced technology, just like the big cities in the rest of the Earth Kingdom, it is still easy to get hit and to get destroyed.

Jukuren, which is Ningen and Taidana's Master, is a bit far from their house. That is why they take the Hayaidesu cars, they are very fast and can easily get you in any place of the Earth Kingdom, unless, of course, there is traffic.

Master Jukuren's training area is in a small building, it is for both outside and inside training.

Ningen and Taidana just reached the building, while taking quick heavy breaths, they ran inside.

Right at the entrance, was Master Jukuren, although he was inside and not outside, where he couldn't be visible easily.

Ningen and Taidana almost ran onto their Master, but Jukuren could easily hear them, so instead of running into him, they ran into a wall.

''Ow!'' They both yelled and fell.

Master Jukuren, stared at the two.

''Ningen Seishin, Taidana Yujin, you're late. There would be a sparring punishment, with me, but since it is the last day I'm going to spare your torturing.''

Master Jukuren joked, you can tell with his voice, but his face was just serious.

''We're sorry, Master.'' They both spoke.

''Anyway, just get inside, let's get this over with.'' Jukuren was frustrated, he had done this final test many times, he was getting sick of it, although he always loved teaching earth bending, what happened to him?

''Is anything wrong, Master?'' Ningen asked.

''Yes, but it isn't necessary to know, Seishin.''

''Alright, Master. But if you need help with anything, we'd love to do it.'' said Taidana

Jukuren didn't say anything but just kept moving towards the arena.

When they reached it, after a few seconds, Jukuren decided to speak about his problem.

''My daughter Sumato has been captured by a blood bender, I don't know why or where she is. I'd ask for your help, but I am not sure you can do anything without any information.''

Ningen and Taidana were shocked. Although Ningen still offered help.

''Maybe we can gather information, we will just stick around in public, move to different places and try to overhear anything from anyone.''

Taidana also agreed with this.

''Yes, we can help with that.''\

Jukuren turned around and looked at both of them with hope in his eyes.

''Are you sure you can do that?'' he asked

''Totally Master!'' replied Taidana

''I'd be glad to accept, thank you.''

''We won't let you down Master!'' spoke Ningen

''Alright, let's do the test now. Begin doing the basic forms for a warm up though, it won't be easy.''

Ningen and Taidana started doing the basic forms of Earth Bending, it was easy for them since they've done the forms multiple times. But as a warm up, it worked.

After a few minutes, they both were stretched enough to start the advanced techniques that only a Master can do without any mistakes.

''Okay, now, the test begins.''

Ningen and Taidana started doing the advanced techniques, both anxious.

They remember every single technique, although it wasn't easy to do without an actual target.

The two were already sweaty, nearly 10 minutes in. Just a few more techniques and they were done.

''Okay, Seishin, Yujin, now it's time for sparring with each other, you must use at least 5 of the techniques, I'll be remember, the winner does not matter, the only thing that matters is if you use the amount of techniques I told you to use, and if you do them correctly. Alright, choose sides.

Ningen went to the left side of the arena's small box and Taidana to the right one.

''Alright, begin!''

This was actually the first time Ningen and Taidana were sparring. They didn't know if they should take this seriously, but Taidana was a bit afraid, if he did something that hurt Ningen a lot, he'd get mad and do a lot of painful stuff.

Ningen began throwing huge rocks at Taidana, but then Taidana quickly raised an earth wall, most of the rocks got blocked but 1 of them hit the wall and broke through, hitting Taidana in the shoulder. Taidana, ignoring the pain and every thought, created an earth line. While thinking it'd have positive results, he regretted his thoughts.

Ningen dodged them and raised his foot and slammed it to the ground, causing a small earthquake. He made Taidana fell to the ground, but he quickly stood up and sent rocks towards Ningen. Ningen, without even raising a wall just dodged the rocks.

Tired of dodging, he created earth armor for his whole body. Ningen sent 5 earth blocks towards Taidana, but he smashed all 5 of them, quickly putting earth gauntlets, as armor but he still has more damage. He ran towards Ningen and punched him in the face.

The punch was weak, but it made Ningen angry, he punched Taidana back, with a lot of power, sending him a few meters back, Taidana almost falling, trying not to lose consciousness, failed, Ningen raised a small earth wall under Taidana, to raise him as well and then let the wall sink in and slammed Taidan to the ground, he was already down. Master Jukuren called it a win for Ningen, but he didn't hear his Master because of the anger, he ran towards Taidana, trying to hit him. But it wasn't just a single punch. His fist was on fire, literally.

Jukuren quickly reacted and raised another wall. Ningen slammed his fist to the wall, then realized what was happening.

Taidana was shocked, looking Ningen in the eye, afraid.

''What.. was… that!?'' Taidana spoke out loud.

Jukuren was also looking at Ningen, with frustration, but he was also surprised from what he had just seen.

''Uh..what happened?'' asked Ningen, looking at his hands.

''You tried to burn me! I do not know and I do not care, why!?''

'' I am sorry, Taidana, I lost control, I get mad very easily, and you know it. We've been through this. But I cannot explain the fire either.''spoke Ningen, with a nervous voice.

Jukuren got annoyed by the situation, because it was so obvious but neither of the two could realize.

''You idiots! Ningen, you are the Avatar! I saw it clearly, you had fire. How come no one has told you yet?''

Ningen's eyes widened, same for Taidana.

''There's no way! Remember, the White Lotus is gone, but, me!? The Avatar!?''

Taidana, from sad and angry he turned to happy.

''That's so cool Ningen! You will get to bend all the elements!'' spoke Taidana

''What do you mean it's cool!? Where am I supposed to find anyone to teach me the other elements?''

Jukuren spoke again,

''My daughter would be able to teach you fire bending, but.. she has been captured. You really have to find her, and of course I am helping, she is my daughter after all.''

''Your daughter.. is a fire bender? But.. Master Jukuren-''

''My wife was a fire bender. She died a few years after my daughter Sumato was born.'' He cut Taidana off, he knew what he was going to ask.

''Oh. I'm so sorry Master.'' Ningen and Taidana apologized.

''Don't worry about that. Now, you have become earth bending masters, congratulations. You'd be surprised if I said, you have to take my daughter, she'll teach you fire bending here, but after that you must find the other teachers. The truth is, I wouldn't be bothered if you took her with you. I am sure you'll need her, and Taidana, you will go with Ningen as well. I won't be able to come, I've got others to teach here. Seishin, Yujin, be careful.''

THE END OF CHAPTER 1

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter boys and girls, we have found the new Avatar! Excited?

Prepare for some unbelievable chapters, I haven't really got a schedule so, uh maybe 1 chapter per week :P anyway, a review would be helpful, although it wouldn't happen so quickly xD

The ''Team Avatar'' for this book will be: Ningen Seishin (the Avatar), Taidana Yujin and Sumato Senshi. Now you are wondering, ''where do these names come from!?''. Well, each of them has different meanings, I'd be glad to explain. Before I start though, the names are in Japanese ;) I did it in Japanese since it is based on Tai chi and more like that, which are of the Eastern Asia. (e.g Korea, China, Japan)

Alright.. let's get started.

Ningen Seishin = Human Spirit (Because the Avatar is half human and half spirit)

Taidana Yujin = Lazy friend (the beginning of this chapter explains it :P )

Sumato Senshi = Smart warrior ( XD you will find out soon, but trust me, she is a smart warrior, although she is a fire bender)

XD I really couldn't find any words to describe them from now, so uh.. don't make fun of me XD. By the way, I obviously don't own any of the Avatar series, this is just a fan fiction xD

ANYWAY..

BYEE!
