In Republic City Hospital...

I slowly woke up, staring up at the hospital ceiling. Then I looked to my side to find Jason with Marcus on his lap.

And a baby in his hands.

I reached forward and gently held the baby close to me.

Then, I realized what had happened earlier

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"Almost four hours." He responded. "There was an attack at the ceremony by a group of powerful benders. They killed Kiana."

I sat in silence for a moment before Jason broke it.

"Should we give him the name we planned?" Jason asked. "Tyler?"

I thought for a moment.

"No," I told him. "Kybo."

He looked at me with a puzzled look.

"That was Avatar Kiana's brother's name." I explained.

He nodded for a moment.

"Kybo," he repeated, then looked at me and smiled.

"I like it."

(Author's note, Kybo is based off of kibo, which means hope in Japanese)

Fifteen years later...

We were practicing our bending in the woods near our house.

I just got smacked in the side of the head by a water whip.

"Heads up, Kybo." Marcus called over.

I rubbed the side of my head.

"Easy, Marcus." I called back.

I suddenly felt something hot coming at me from the side.

I turned around and extinguished a fire blast with my own firebending.

"Cheap move, Joy." I called to my younger sister of three years.

"Cheap and dirty wins the race." Joy called back as she sent a fire blast towards Marcus, who blocked it with a shield of water.

We were in a triangle, trading blows with one another.

My two siblings, Marcus and Joy, were as alike as night and day.

Marcus was serious, Joy was a jokester. Marcus was a waterbender, Joy was a firebender. Marcus has tan skin, is muscular, and has very short, brown hair, Joy was a skinny, pale girl with straight, dark hair. Marcus' bending prowess came from skill, Joy's came from talent.

Then, Marcus shot out two water whips, which tripped up Joy and I.

Before we could get up, he froze our legs together.

"I win." He said with a slight smile. "I have always told you that water is better fire."

"Guess again." I said as we both melted our restraints and stood up.

I got ready to send a blast of fire towards Marcus when Joy cry out in pain.

We both looked and saw that she was clutching her forehead.

We rushed over and Marcus used some of the water from his pouch to surround his hand, causing it to glow a soft blue, a technique he learned from our dad.

He put his hand on Joy's head.

"Better?" He asked.

She nodded.

This hadn't happened in a while. Joy describes these headaches as a scorching heat, rather than piercing headaches . Doctors couldn't find out what it was, assuring us that she was completely healthy.

We all decided to go back to the house for dinner.

When we got there, we saw our parents preparing dinner. We don't really have a stove, instead, mom uses firebending, and dad's water whips help around the kitchen.

Our mom saw us first.

"Kids, we talked about this," she lectured us. "Be back by seven, your thirty minutes late."

"Sorry." We all said at once.

She smiled warmly.

"It's fine, we made your favorite."

We all lit up.

Our parents' broth was the best. The onions, celery, and rosemary made it taste great, plus there were chunks of different hybrid pig meats.

Pretty soon, we were sitting at the table, talking about our days.

"I think I'm getting better at firebending," I told them. "I mean, Marcus is a better bender than I am and Joy is so much better than I was at her age, but maybe I can close the gap."

Mom smiled warmly.

"Sweet, nice job honey." She told me.

"Yeah, maybe he will get there in another fifteen years." Joy teased.

Mom sent her one of her looks that made her appear to shrink.

"Also, Joy had another one of those headaches." I told her.

"Again?" She asked. "Seriously, this headache is clearly not nothing, no matter what the doctors say."

Then she turned toward Marcus.

"How was school Marcus?" She asked.

He looked down at his broth.

"Did you get in another fight?" She asked.

He continued to look down.

"Marcus," She chided. "We talked about this."

He put his hands on the table and looked up.

"Look," He said. "Some big earthbending kid was threatening one of the girls in a younger grade, I stepped in, both of us used our bending."

Dad leaned forward.

"Did you win?" He asked.

Marcus smirked.

"He was sprawled out on the floor before he knew what hit him." Marcus said proudly.

Mom put her fingers to her temple and then looked at Marcus.

"Marcus, I'm proud that you stepped in, but if you keep doing this, you will get expelled." She told him.

"Does it matter?" He asked. "I'm on my last year and we can't afford college. The only reason why we are getting by is because your bending helps around the house."

We all sat in silence.

It was true.

"How long were you suspended?" Mom finally asked.

"Two weeks." He responded.

Both parents looked to the ground, but, to my surprise, dad spoke up first.

"If you got suspended for two weeks, then your going to make yourself useful in that time." Dad told him. "We are running out of meat, take my Satomobile to Republic City and get some groceries once your done eating. I was also planning on taking Kybo and Joy to the city to get ice cream at Polar Treats, but you can do it."

Marcus clearly wasn't thrilled about it but he nodded.

Even though Marcus was serious, he was still a good brother and never really complained.

Once we were done eating, we headed for the car.

Once we got in, Marcus drove for about ten minutes before he reached the city.

Even though we've seen Republic City before, it never ceases to take my breath away. The lights in the city were like stars, and the business going on everywhere.

When we got to the grocery shop, Marcus picked up some beef, chicken pig meat, and even a platypus bear egg, which was like three hundred yuons out of the fifteen hundred yuons dad gave him.

(Author's note, I believe that a rough estimate of a yuon is ten American cents)

After we we're done, there was still five hundred yuons left, so we decided to go get some ice cream after he put the groceries in the car.

As we were walking down the sidewalk, the sun now starting to go down, we heard a voice from the alley next to us.

"Hey, over here punk."

We looked and saw three men, the lead one being a very large man. The man looked like an earthbender, as well as another one who looked like an earthbender, and the last one seemed like a firebender, judging on how he was dressed.

"Anything valuable you have, give it." He demanded, holding an open bag.

Marcus threw them the five hundred yuons, after he realized that he didn't bring his waterskin, a fur bag that held water.

The large man gestured over to the locket around Joy's neck that our grandmother gave her.

"That too." He told her.

She put a hand on it.

"No." She said.

"Well, your not exactly in charge here, sweetheart." He said menacingly.

He looked at his two goons.

"Take these three to the boss, he'll know what to do with them." He told them.

Marcus turned toward us.

"Run!" He yelled as he rushed toward the large man, fists clenched.

The man grabbed him around the throat, holding him in place.

Joy and I responded by each shooting a fire blast.

The man who we guessed was a firebender stepped in front and extinguished the flames.

"Hit'em." He said to the other guy, who I had guessed was also an earthbender.

The goon nodded and lifted his foot off the ground, planning on putting it back down.

He was going to hit us with an earthbending attack.

At that moment, Marcus broke free from the large man's grip and shoved us to the side.

Then Marcus got hit in the gut by an rock pillar.

He flew backwards and landed on the ground on his back.

I felt a sudden rage surge through me, then I spotted some water pooling near the back of the alley.

I moved out of complete instinct.

I pulled the water toward me and created a water whip and smacked the large man with it.

He staggered back, then I grabbed him around the neck with it and jerked hard, flipping him and causing him to fall on his face.

I finished by smacking him in the side of the head with the whip one last time, knocking him out.

Oh my gosh, I thought, I just waterbent.

I was snapped back into reality again when the firebender rushed forward, hand on fire.

I shot out some of the water from the water whip, using it to freeze his hand to the wall. Then I hit him with a blast of fire and knocked his feet out from under him with the whip, causing him to hit his head and go into unconsciousness.

Finally, the second earthbender sent a series of sharpened rocks toward me.

I turned the water whip into a frozen shield, letting the stones imbed themselves into it, then hit him with a blast of fire. I then turned the shield back into a whip and wrapped it around his chest.

I then slammed him into one wall of the alley, then the other, then finally, lifted him up and slammed him down, causing him to be knocked unconscious.

I looked back at Joy and a groaning Marcus, who were staring at me in disbelief.

"I...I don't know what I..." I stammered, when Joy interrupted.

"Kybo, your the frikin Avatar!" Joy cried out.

The reality finally set in.

Marcus finally stopped staring and spoke up.

"Let's go." He said.

We all agreed and ran out of the alley.

Somewhere in Republic City...

I sat in the back of the dark room.

"Well, what is so urgent?" I asked the three men across the room.

The largest one, Dale, spoke up.

"We were taken down by some kids we tried to rob."

"So what you wanted to tell me was your incompetence?" I asked calmly, but had anger in the back of my voice.

"No, one of the kids could bend both water and fire." He told me.

My eyes opened a little bit wider as I snapped into attention.

Then I smiled.

"Thank you for letting me know." I told them. "You will be rewarded. Now go."

They grinned and scampered off.

This was great. I had now located the Avatar.

I already killed one Avatar, this child shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the plot twist at the end. Thanks for reading. Peace.
