A/N: This is part of my Out of Mind series. I takes place long after my Digimon adventures but don't worry I won't spoil anything. Reference time wise, this takes place just a few days ago. I just finished reading the new Avartar book and I needed to discuss it with..errr..myself.
SPOILER WARING!! Major spoilers for the Avatar Sozin's Comet Final Battle book and episodes of Avatar not aired in the USA.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my stories and my own characters.
Group Meeting 1
In a place that could only be described as a small clearing in a thick forest, elements were stirring. First to arrive was a small stream of water from the forest. More and more water gathered until it started to take shape. The water changed into a teenaged youth with blue sweatpants, blue jacket, and blue tennis shoes. He held a blue trident in his right hand. The youth had brown skin, blackish-brown hair and sea blue eyes. He had a gloomy expression and a small black cloud appeared about his head and started to rain. Another shape formed around the youth as a blue octopus wrapped around the youth with its head on the youths chest. The octopus was covered in layer of water. After the two had fully materialized a small cyclone started and almost immediately dissipated revealing another youth exactly the same as the first except his clothes were white and his eyes were grey. He had a huge folded Chinese style fan on his back. His expression was emotionless. A white feathered bald eagle that was perched on his shoulder flew off to a nearby tree. Next column of fire came and went in the same manner as the wind. It reveled the same youth with red clothes and eyes wearing a smirk on his face. He had a red broadsword strapped to his waist and a lion with light red fur and dark red mane. Finally a figure rose from the earth with black clothing, dark brown eyes, a long hammer the head the size of a bowling ball and about the length of the youth, and a large black boa constrictor wrapped around his body. He had a look of annoyance of his face.
"Well, well, well," started the red youth, "with the four of us here we can expect some major fighting to go down."
"Oh shove it Bill," snapped the black youth, "you're the one who usually starts things!"
"Calm down Guillermo," said the blue youth, "you see more irritated than usual."
"Bill does have a point Will," the white youth calmly stated, "whenever the four of us are together we do seem to disagree a lot."
"Disagrements aside, what are doing here William?" Bill asked.
"We are here to discuss the recent Avatar book the Master read and-" William started but was interrupted by a wail.
"Why," Will cried, "why, why, why did the story have to end like that? Why does it have to end with Kataang?" As Will sobbed, his personal cloud got bigger to engulf the entire area with heavy rain.
"Oh great," Bill said sarcastically, "you just had to get him starting didn't you!" Will seemed to have surrounded himself with an aura of extreme heat that evaporated the water before it could touch his skin.
"He needs to face the reality of the situation and talk about it." William said emotionlessly. William had created a current of air to blow the rain around him away.
"You guys are here to talk, I'm here to make sarcastic comments when appropriate." Bill replied.
"I can understand Will's reaction. The Master did have his heart set on Zutara." Guillermo said gloomily using nothing but a steel umbrella.
"Zutara was a fantasy that the Master had his heart set on." William said 'heart' like it was a curse. "That's what useless emotions do to a person."
"Ahem," Will started, his cloud shrinking down to normal size, "those useless emotions you're talking about just happen to be Bill and myself."
"Your point?" William asked. Tension filled the air.
"Okay," Guillermo said slowly, "so…what's next. What are we going to do about these developments?"
"You seem…perturbed." William noted.
"Well, Will wasn't the only one that was hoping for Zutara, I was TOO!" Guillermo said emphasizing the point by stomping his foot and created a small tremor. "It's just I don't do depressed, depressed makes me feel bad. But angry, angry I can do. Angry doesn't make me feel as bad as depressed."
"Hold on," Bill interrupted, "the Masters philosophy is that all stories, shows, and ideas in general that someone creates is its own universe, right? So keeping with that belief there should be many different universes that Zutara happens in Zutarian's stories, right?"
Guillermo scoffed. "Cheap imitations to the original in my opinion. No, it only matters if it happens in the original."
"Either way the creator of ship they are going to…anger a fair number of Avatar fans." William said.
"Anger isn't the phrase I'd use." Guillermo started. "Completely-piss-off-with-murderous-intent is what I would use."
William let out a sigh. "Best thing that could have happened was that they leave it off. Katara doesn't get paired up with anyone. Sure everyone is angry but ahhh not with murderous intent as you put it."
"Yeah well, we can see that that idea went out the window." Will said.
"I don't seem to see the problem." William started. "Just because the relationships you wanted to happen didn't occur on their universe doesn't mean they can't happen in our-" William was interrupted by a clap of thunder. William glanced at the sky and started again, "Excuse me, doesn't mean they can't happen in the Master's universe. Mustn't forget who's really in charge around here."
"What are you talking about?" Will asked with a faint bit of hope, his cloud going from pounding-rain to a-light-drizzle. "They kissed for God's sake."
"Remember a certain Torchwood episode?" William asked. "There was one episode that the group's personalities were completely warped because of their memories. It's our memories that make us who we are. Certainly it would take us very little to make Zuko and Katara fall for each other and get Aang to ahhh forget his crush. You know what? I'll add Taang just to sweeten the deal." Instead of looking happier, Will's cloud started to pour harder, not as hard as the beginning though.
"Now what?" Bill asked exasperated. Will was quiet for a while.
"I didn't want it to come to that." he eventually said.
"But are you willing to go with it?" William asked. At this Will didn't say anything.
"Lovely as this Zutara chat has been can we please move on?" Guillermo asked eventually. "Let's move on to say Azula." At that William stiffened.
"Yes…it was…unfortunate…what happened to her." William said slowly. Bill started to cackle like a madman.
"Yeahahaahahaha!" Bill couldn't stop laughing. "That scary bitch finally went off the deep end."
"I would appreciate if you did not use such language." William stated.
"You're just angry that your second in command finally lost her marbles. Seriously, only you could make such a screwball your second in comm-" Bill was interrupted as a compressed blast of air blasted him into a tree. The lion roared sending a stream of fire at William, but was blown away with a blast of air from the bald eagles wings. When Bill got up his hair was on fire.
"I'd appreciate if you not speak that way about my second in command." Will said calmly.
"But it's true." Bill snarled.
"I'm not so sure." William mused. Bill scoffed but Guillermo looked thoughtful.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean I am having doubts about this book. There are things wrong with it that make me question if the details described in this book are really what is going to happen." William stated.
"What!?" Bill, Will, and Guillermo exclaimed.
"Guillermo, I'm surprised at you." William began. "The other two I can understand but with a mind like yours? All you had to do was analyze it a bit to see it. But you must not like to think about the book too much." Guillermo only scowled. "Anyways, first off, there is Azula. She banished someone for having pits in her cherries? I refuse to accept that Azula could be driven so far. Then there is Ursa. The book never really explained what became of her. There are holes not being filled that I do not like in this story."
"Let me shoot some holes in this theory of yours." Guillermo interrupted. Azula had only two friends and those friends betrayed her. She is bound to be paranoid."
"But that paranoid?" William asked. Guillermo shrugged.
"These holes of yours could be filled out with episodes before the finale." Guillermo suggested. William shook his head.
"I don't think so." William replied. "I did the math. There are only 21 episodes in this season. We have seen 1-15, 18-21 are supposed the finale which this book so…accurately describes. Episode 17 is that silly play, which leave 16 to wrap it all up. I don't think so. There are things I've seen in the latest preview to Avatar that I have not seen, don't think is in that one episode, and this book does not describe. The one firmly stuck in my find is Zuko and Azula falling, and Katara catching Zuko on Appa. When does that happen?"
"Hmmm." was all Guillermo could say.
"Finally there is one thing in the book itself that defies logic. The fact that that the Gaang started from Ember Isle, went to the Earth Kingdom, Ba Sing Se, and then back to the Fire Nation all in the matter of three days is outrageous." William finished.
"Yes," Guillermo started, "yes, you're starting to make sense. This book might just be a load."
"You mean there's hope?" Will said, his cloud completely disappearing. "YES!" he shouted. Will started babbling incoherently but the others knew what he was implying.
"Now look what you eggheads have done!" Bill accused. "I liked him better all mopy."
"That was not my intention. I was simply stating the facts. I wish that this book is false, but for a different reason than his. Personally, logic dictates that Kataang will happen even if the Master does not wish it. This book leaves too many uncertainties in me to make me feel comfortable. But then again it could happen with this being a kids show. I just do not wish it." William said
"This show has so much potential for a good anime don't it? Shame." Guillermo said wistfully.
"Quite. Now I suggest the Master goes back and looks at all the information he has gathered. Watch the latest Avatar trailer again, reread the book maybe go to some forums see what other people think and-" William was cut off yet again.
"No." Guillermo said tuning serious.
"What do you mean?" William asked. "We have to gather information, we have to-"
"We don't have to do anything." Guillermo said. "Your not the Master's favorite anymore. I am. All this talk, all these spoilers just ruin the episodes more. I was against getting the book but your curiosity got the Master to get it. But no more, the less we know the better. There will be no gathering of information."
"But-"
"Meeting adjourned!" Guillermo yelled with everyone vanishing into nothing.
A/N: Please review, but like he says no new information. Got that? Good.
