The Many misadventures of Avatar Aang chapter 2
Aang had phased out of three-dimensional world and was basically a curious ghost floating around the samurai land. He had felt a collection of malice in the frozen land and went to investigate. Upon pinpointing the location, Aang found a little yellow flower. Wondering why all of the nature surrounding this flower was cowering in fear, he phased back into the mortal plain and approached it. Suddenly, the sunshine flower turned it's stem, to face Aang. The flower began to glow and Aang felt a pull on his consciousness. Curious to find out just what the hell was up with this flower, Aang allowed his mind to be sucked into the bright petals.
In the flowers..'mind? Sure.' Aang thought. There was an impossibly bright light shining near him, and he gawked at his inability to stare at it.
'This is unheard of! A light so bright I could not gaze upon it? I haven't encountered such a thing since...since..' at that Aang's mind seized up in realization. "Amaterasu!" Aang screamed as he embraced the light.
Slowly the light began to take form and arms and legs shaped into being. Finally the light receded just enough to reveal the endlessly beautiful visage of the sun goddess herself, Amaterasu.
"Come now love, it's only been an eternity since you last saw me." Came a voice dipped in honey.
"I did not think this reality would bare you darling." Aang sobbed into her chest, afraid he might never be able to hold her again if he let go.
"Well it almost didn't. But the people of this world we're hopeless without a goddess to worship, so the One Above All decided to throw them a bone this time around. But these people. These..shinobi, they aren't like the shinobi we have seen before. They handle and weave celestial energy in a watered down form. What they call 'chakra', and it was powerful enough for them to separate my Esper from my body. My body is somewhere in this world where even you can not find because they put seals of blood around the area. Unfortunately, I am reduced to possessing lower forms of life such as this flower. I flared my strength as much as I could so that I could draw your attention once I felt your Esper. I knew it had to be you,my love."
Upon hearing Amaterasu's predicament, Aang had to restrain his anger which threatened to spill over and eradicate everything. "I will find your body. Damn the One. I don't understand why you retrain my will to go destroy him. Then it would be just you and I." Aang said bitterly.
" Life is a wonderful gift. To destroy him would be to destroy life. Everything deserves at least a chance to live.." she thought aloud.
"You are too good for them all sweetie.." Aang protested.
The goddess smiled sweetly at him before she spoke. "Even if I asked you not to, you're still going to do whatever it takes to make me whole again. I only ask that you be merciful." She finished with a kiss as he began to fade from her pocket reality.
" Oh love, don't you know you are my mercy? And you are not by my side." Was Aang's final thoughts before being thrusted back into his body.
Back into his corporeal body, Aang decided to think on what would be the best course of action. Of course he was going to free his beloved. He began remembering how he managed to woo a goddess. Amaterasu is a goddess who comes into being whenever creation is initiated, but only if the One believes that the life that comes to be would need a higher being to guide them. She had met Aang in one such reality and was shocked that Aang was no god, nor apart of the Ones many sentries. He was just a man who had reached absolute enlightenment, the first ever. As such a man, he is not bound by the will of the One, and has true free will. Aang had cycled through a few creations already by the time he had met Amaterasu, so she was new and very interesting to him. And very beautiful.
Aang was wandering along a endless field of broken weapons. These weapons were in the shape of giant keys, oddly enough, and alongside them were battered and broken pieces of armor. Aang had thought to not get too attached to world's since he lost his own, but this world was particularly interesting. It was very in tune to the spirit, which people called the 'heart'. Everyone was after a great light that they called 'Kingdom Hearts', so much so that these warriors that were chosen by 'keyblades' fought and killed each other for it.
"This is ridiculous. All this loss of life..and for what? A light in the sky that won't even intervene? Just what the hell are you!" Aang shouted in a rage. He still held the teachings of his youth to heart, even if his world was long gone. All this loss of life hurt him deeply. He thought that it would be better to destroy the great Heart, that way nobody would ever have to die because of it ever again.
As he charged up a powerful destructive energy and pointed it skyward, a soft yet impossibly loud voice boomed from the great Heart in the sky.
"Stop! You'll destroy everything if you destroy me!"
Surprised by the Heart actually saying something, he accidentally released his energy and it sprung forth in a dense beam of white shooting straight for the Heart. Shockingly for Aang, a piece of light broke off from the Heart and rocketed down to meet the beam. He was just able to make out what he believed to be a gold mirror before it took the beam head on and, to Aang's increasing shock, deflected it away from the Heart and off into the distance where it exploded in a grand show of light.
The light descended down until it reached Aang and gently floated right in front of him. On relex, Aang ducked and dashed to the side as an almost imperceivable fast slash flew where his head was. Rolling to a standing position Aang now saw the light fading away, leaving the form of a woman in its wake, arm still extended from the attempt at Aang's life. She wore a yellow open vest and yellow pants, both adored with jewels and designs of blue and gold. She had a rope around her waist and a sheath of the sword her hand held tucked in the rope. Her hair was a thick Auburn and long reaching her lower back. Her face was immaculate, sharp eyes that held two bright suns within and lips that were rose red. Her cute small nose was scrunched up in rage,marring her delicate features. She was a warrior.
'Perhaps the defender of the great heart in the sky' Aang mused to himself.
" You were about to destroy Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all world's. That would have destroyed everything you fool! Who are you, how do you have such a power as to destroy God?"
Admittedly, Aang was both impressed and terrified that she had reflected his attack and wasn't paying much mind to what she was saying.
"Hey, are you listening to me!? Damn mortal." She said with a tick mark bulging on her forehead. "Whatever. You threaten the balance. Be gone." And with that she disappeared.
Aang only had a nano second to chuckle at 'the balance' before he was punched in the face and flung a few yards back from the force.
"Holy shit that hurt!" He complained as he slowly stood up.
"Such foul language. Kingdom Hearts would never open for the likes of you. You should be ashamed of cursing in front of a lady." She scoffed condescendingly.
" Ugh, you deities are so full of yourself. Who decides what's proper and what's not? Yadda yadda yadda you all have a twelve inch stick up your asses!" Aang retorted, red at being reprimanded.
"You Savage! Nobody would even approach a dog like you. I bet women thought you were the plague." Amaterasu accused.
At the mention of women, Aang had a flash of brown skin and a blue smile in his mind. At his silence Amaterasu smirked.
"Hit a nerve did I? I'm surprised you've survived my attacks so far, it's clear you are no regular mortal. But a worthless man is still a worthless man." She pressed.
"Shut up.." Aang said. He was rapidly falling into a hole at this arbitrary banter that somehow managed to trigger his memories of grief and loss. He knew if he recalled her name, it would be the end of this reality. Just like the first time.
"By the pain on your face you probably had a woman. If she's not around she either realized what a pig you are, or died." She pressed.
"Shut. Up!" Aang yelled, though it was really a plea.
" If she's still alive she has to live with the shame." She. Kept. Pressing.
"Please, stop" he begged. His sanity couldn't take anymore.
'Good, a angry enemy is a stupid enemy. He is obviously very powerful. I'll need every edge I can get. Now for one final push' Amaterasu thought, and taking a breath she put the final nail in the coffin.
" Or maybe she is dead. I guess she's the lucky one, I'm sure she's much happier dea-" before she could complete that sentence, Aang had grabbed an intact key blade from the ground and shoved it through her chest.
"Katara...I'm so sorry…" Aang whispered with his eyes closed.
He kicked Amaterasu away violently and before she stopped ragdolling from the force, he caught her hair and spun twice before launching her across the battlefield. After effortlessly crashing through the seventh mountain, Amaterasu was able to right herself in the air. Summoning her mirror to float in the air, she grimmly gazed back at the direction she came.
" This man...this..thing..he must be stopped."
She held her mirror up towards Kingdom Hearts and beckon the light.
" Kingdom Hearts! I need your divine light to vanquish this enemy! I will reflect it tenfold and you shall be safe once again!" Amaterasu pleaded.
Suddenly Kingdom Hearts shone bright and focused on her mirror, causing it to glow with other worldly light. Once the entire surface of the mirror was full of light, Amaterasu shone in the direction of Aang, who was just standing there.
"FAITH!" She howled.
She brought the full wrath of the light upon Aang, which erased everything it touched along the way. The mountains she was flung through were erased. The air itself seemed to dissolve as the light filtered through. Then it hit Aang.
"Hmph. Foolish man. There is no darkness that can stand against the light." She said, turning and beginning to float back up to Kingdom Hearts.
Until she heard a mirthless chuckle. She whipped her head backwards and saw her current bane of existence. Aang was floating in the air, where the ground that he was standing on would have been. He was simply floating there, naked since he clothes weren't made of the same stuff he was. Staring at her. There was no anger in his eyes. There was no pain or sorrow like before. Just eyes. Staring at her. And then they vanished. And the only precursor to what was about to happen were these simple words that shook her down to her core.
"Your life is forfeit "
She narrowly dodged a full arm swipe from Aang and the force behind it dove into the ground and shattered it diving deep into the earth. She only dodged it because he had spoke. A chill ran down her spine when she realized next time she would not be so lucky. He head-butted her and shattered her jaw as well as bloodied her nose up. He gripped her loose jaw and yanked it off her face, smacking her down to the ground with it using so much force it fell apart in his hand afterward. Bleeding face first in the dirt with half of her face gone, Amaterasu decided to go for broke and use her ultimate attack, her name sake.
"Heavenly Flame: Amaterasu!" She bellowed, her body dissolving in obsidian flames that hurled itself at Aang.
Aang screamed in agony as the fire ate his flesh, unabiding his attempts at bending. The pain shocked him out of his sullen state.
"By vishra what flames are these!" Aang cried.
"These flames are my essence, my passion given form. You may be powerful, but nothing is greater than my love!"
"Love eh...it's so..beautiful. I want to make it mine."
"Fool, I love all things. I cannot love one more than another, much less a boorish man who has tried to kill me!"
"Well you'll find I can be..quite charming my morning dove."
"NANI?!"
Aang chuckled at the memories of how he slowly wooed Amaterasu over many creation cycles. It was rough, with most of their encounters leading to Earth shattering fights. It was quite a few cycles before she started actually having banter once she got the stick out her ass. Even more before she wouldn't attack him on sight. Eventually though, he proved his worth and showed her that while her love was endlessly selfless, his love was endlessly possessive. It was after a grievous battle with a dark entity named Sephroph that he put himself in harm's way for her that she finally caved to his advances.
And now his beloved, his morning dove, has been restrained and imprisoned by these despicable humans. He would find her body. Release her in all her glory. And ravage her until the earth broke in two. This he swore. And he supposed keeping an eye on one certain Naruto Uzumaki in the meantime wouldn't hurt.
Now that he had something to do, Aang was able to focus a bit and start properly forming his next course of action. First on the agenda was to pull a page from a certain swirly fairy Uchiha.
