i don't own Avatar The Last Airbender but i do own My OC Raiden
On Crescent Island in the Temple in one the bed chambers we see a young man with white hair and gold eyes by the name of Raiden is looking out the window at the horizon as the sun began to set.
Today is the winter solstice and I know the Avatar will show up to Roku for guidance said Raiden.
then there was a knock at the door.
Come in Shyu said Raiden.
The door opens to reveal I middle aged man in red clothing holding a tray of food in one hand.
You alway know when it's me Raiden said, Shyu.
Well, you're the only Sage that comes to see me on a regular basis said Raiden.
Beautiful sunset today said Raiden.
Yes, it is, Raiden do you know what today is? said, Shyu.
The winter solstice said Raiden.
Correct and the Avatar is said, Shyu.
The Avatar is going to come here to talk to Avatar Roku I know I heard you and the other Sage's taking a few week ago when the eyes on Roku's Statue lit up said Raiden.
Yes, the Avatar will be coming and it my duty as a Fire Sage to help him said, Shyu.
But if you do that and are caught you'll be arrested for treason said Raiden.
Which, why you are going to help me, said Shyu.
Me? No! I can't if I'm caught the Great Sage will report back to my father and I don't what he'll do to me then said Raiden.
Everyone in the Fire Nation already thinks you're dead what the worse that he can actually do said, Shyu.
He can actually kill me said Raiden.
That's true but think about this Raiden you came here when you were 11 years old and now you're 16 years old said, Shyu.
yeah, I know how long I've been here Shyu what your point said Raiden.
my point is, you are now old enough to decide your own path and do you really want to spend the rest of your life here said, Shyu.
you can count me in said Raiden.
Great! meet me outside your room in Twenty minutes and pack a bag. you know the essentials clothes, your swords etc. Oh, and a Hooded cloak said Shyu.
Shyu what are you up to? asked Raiden.
Shyu Just smiled and left Raiden to pack.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER
Raiden walked out his room wear his usual attire(a/n which if anyone wondering because kind terrible at descriptions go to the first chapter), a red hooded cloak, and a small bag and the pair of Dual Broadswords on his back.
Shyu? Shyu Where are you said Raiden.
Right behind you said Shyu.
Raiden jumped and turned.
Agni, do you have to that? said Raiden.
Yes I do, come our guest should be arriving any moment
they started walking.
So do we have just keep walking around the Temple until we find him? Said Raiden.
Yes said, Shyu.
Then a boy with blue arrow tattoo's on his head and hand stopped in front them and quickly turned back to the way he came.
Think that was him said Raiden?
Yes said, Shyu.
Then they ran after him.
when they reached the end of the corridor they heard someone yell "wrong way".
They reached the end of corridor they see the two teens dressed in blue clothing who run after the boy when they the see Fire Sage and the Dualbender.
They must from one of Water Tribes thought Raiden.
Come back said, Shyu.
They chase the three to a dead end.
We don't to fight you, we are friends said, Shyu.
Firebenders aren't are friends said Sokka.
Then Aang got into a fighting stance.
Shyu walked forward got down on his hands and knees and Raiden got down on one knee.
We know your here Avatar said Shyu.
Then Aang dropped his stance.
You do? said Aang.
Yes said, Shyu.
Then both Shyu and Raiden got up.
You wish to speak to Avatar Roku, we can take you to him said, Shyu.
How? said Aang.
Shyu moves a lamp out of the way and Firebends into the opening behind the lamp opening a hidden door leading to a secret passageway.
This way said, Shyu.
Find them said The Great Sage.
Time is running out quickly said, Shyu.
Aang nods to Katara and they start to walk toward
Wait said Sokka.
What is it Sokka these two are helping us said Katara?
I know but I just want to his name and the kids said Sokka.
I'm not a kid! I'm 16 years old said Raiden.
My name is Shyu and this is Raiden said, Shyu.
Ok, lead the way said Sokka.
Then all walk into the passageway, Shyu went last to close the Door.
Avatar Roku once called this Temple his home. He formed these secret passages out of the magma said, Shyu.
Did you know Avatar Roku? said Aang.
No, but my grandfather knew him said, Shyu.
Many generations of Fire Sage's Guarded this Temple long before me. we all have a strong spiritual connection to this place said, Shyu.
Is that how you knew I was coming said Aang.
A few weeks ago an amazing thing happened, Avatar Roku's statue its eye began to glow said, Shyu.
that when we were at the Air Temple, Avatar Roku's eye were glowing there too said Katara.
It's likely that was World wide thing said Raiden.
At that moment we knew you had returned to the world said, Shyu.
If this is the Avatar's Temple why did the Sage's attack me? said Aang.
Things have changed, in the past, the Sage's were loyal only to the Avatar, when Roku died the Sage's eagerly awaited for the next Avatar to return but he never came Explained Shyu.
They were waiting for me said Aang.
Hey, feel bad you're only a hundred years late said Sokka.
Aang gave him a glare.
He vanishes for a hundred years and the world feel into chaos how is he not supposed to feel bad said Raiden.
They lost hope the Avatar would ever return. When Fire Lord Sozin began the war my grandfather and the other Sage's were forced to follow him said, Shyu.
I never wanted to serve the Fire Lord. When I learned you were coming i knew I would have to betray the other Sage's said, Shyu.
and I just want this war to end and save my Nation from its self-said Raiden.
Thank you both for helping me said Aang.
So Raiden why are you here you don't seem to be a sage Said Katara.
Raiden looked to Shyu who nodded
I was exiled here by my father went I was 11 years old said Raiden.
Is your father a high official or a general in the army or something? Aang asks.
Once again Raiden looked to Shyu.
Go ahead said, Shyu.
Before I say this gonna come as a bit of a shock. ok, my father is Fire Lord Ozai said Raiden.
You're the Fire Lord's son said Sokka.
Yes but I'm not on my father's side or in his good graces said Raiden.
Why not? asked Aang.
But because not only am I a Firebend but I am also a Waterbener said Raiden.
What? Said Katara.
No way, prove it said Aang
Ah! kinda hard to do with out a water source said Raiden.
Oh yeah! My bad said Aang.
Let's move on the Solstice is fast approaching said, Shyu.
We'll follow these stairs to the sanctuary said, Shyu.
They walk up a long spiral case.
Once you're inside waiting for the light hit Avatar Roku's statue only then will you back able to speak with him said, Shyu.
scenes changes to a room with one window for light and the floor opens ups.
Shyu pops his head to see if the coast is clear. Once the thinks it safe he climbs out and the teens follow.
ha! no said, Shyu.
This is not good said Raiden.
Shyu? Raiden? what's wrong? Asks Aang.
The sanctuary doors! they're closed said, Shyu.
So said Sokka leaning up against the doors.
So! their not supposed to be closed said Raiden.
Raiden is right said, Shyu.
Aang walks up to the doors and tries pushing them open.
Can't just open them with Firebending like you opened that other door? Katara asks.
No! Only a fully-realized Avatar is powerful enough to open this door alone said, Shyu.
Otherwise, the Sage's must open the doors together with five simultaneous fire blasts said, Shyu.
Five fire blasts huh? said Sokka.
Yes, that's what he said. What are you a parrot? said Raiden.
I think I can help you out said Sokka.
This is a little trick I learned from my father. I seal the lamp oil inside of animal skins casing, Shyu lights the oiled twine and ta da! Fake firebending said Sokka.
You've really out done yourself this time Sokka said Katara.
This might actually work said, Shyu.
Sokka places an oil sack in each of the lion's mouths and then runs to a pillar and plugs his ears.
The sages will hear the explosion so as soon as they go off you rush in said Shyu to Aang.
It's almost sunset. Are you ready? said Katara.
Defiantly said Aang.
Shyu lit all the twine and walked to the pillar Aang and Raiden were behind.
Aang ran forward and tried opening the doors but they were still locked.
They're still locked said Aang.
It didn't work said, Shyu.
Aanh sink to knees.
Aang starts sending gusts of air at the door.
Why. won't. it. open. said Aang.
Aang stop! there's nothing else we can do said Katara.
I'm sorry I put you through all this for nothing said Aang.
I don't get it that blast looked as strong as any firebending I've seen said Sokka.
Sokka you're a genius said Katara.
Wait how is Sokka a genius his plan didn't even work said Sokka.
Come on Aang, Let her dream said Sokka.
You're right Sokka's didn't work but it looks like it did said Katara.
did the definition of genius changed in last hundred years said Aang.
Come quickly the Avatar has entered the sanctuary said, Shyu.
How did he get in said The Great Sage?
I don't know but look at the scorch marks said Pointing the doors.
And down there said Shyu pointing at a Shadow.
He's inside. open the doors immediately before he contacts Avatar Roku said the Great Sage.
The other sage got into position and firebended the doors open.
It's the Avatar's lemur! He must have crawled through the pipes, We've been tricked said the Great Sage.
Then Momo attacks the Great Sage.
Then Sokka and Katara subdued two sages while Shyu takes care of another sage.
Raiden grabs and restrains the Great sage.
You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do something like this said Raiden to the Great Sage.
Now, Aang said Shyu.
Aang now you're chance said Katara.
Aang, what are waiting for said Raiden.
Then Zuko and Aang come out from out from behind the pillar. Zuko has taken Aang captive.
The Avatar's coming with me said Zuko.
Then all the sage's turn the tables on Katara, Raiden, Shyu, and Sokka.
Close the doors! Quickly said Zuko.
Aang looks over his shoulder at Sokka and Katara. As he and Zuko reach the opening, he makes several swift moves and knocks Prince Zuko off balance. Aang kicks Zuko down the stairs and turns around quickly. As Zuko tumbles down the stairs with a grunt, Aang runs towards the doors of the sanctuary which are beginning to close.
Go said Katara.
Aang banks left and jumps into the air to avoid a fire blast. He does several turns in mid-air. Aang uses the heads of two of the Fire Sages as stepping stones on his way to the doors. He sails through the doors just as they are closing. The doors shut and the locks grind.
He made it said Katara.
A blast of bright white light comes from behind the sanctuary doors.
Scene changes Aang inside the sanctuary.
He crouches on the floor in front of Avatar Roku's statue. The setting sunlight comes through an octagonal window at the top of the sanctuary. The light is reddish and moves slowly up the great statue.
The light hit the statue and I talk to Roku so why.
So why isn't anything happening? said Aang.
Back out the sanctuary.
Zuko and the other four sage's try to open the doors.
Why isn't it working it's sealed shut said Zuko.
It must have been the light. Avatar Roku doesn't want us inside said the great sage.
Back with Aang.
Why isn't anything happening? I don't what I'm doing said Aang.
All I know is Airbending! Please, Avatar Roku talk to me said Aang.
The red light moves onto Roku's eyes then smoke appears and when it disappears Aang is face to face with Roku.
It's good to see you Aang. What took you so long said Roku.
Back outside Shyu is now kneeling before Zuko.
Why did you help the Avatar said Zuko?
Because it was once the sage's duty, it is still our duty said, Shyu.
Raiden smiled.
then clapping could be heard.
Everyone looked to where it was coming from and it was Commander Zhao.
What a moving and heartfelt performance. I'm certain the Fire Lord will understand when you explain why you betrayed him said, Zhao.
Commander Zhao said the Great Sage. while bowing.
And Prince Zuko said, Zhao.
Then Raiden looked at Zuko.
Zuko? whispered Raiden.
It was a noble effort, But your little smoke screen didn't work Two Traitors in one day the Fire Lord will be pleased said, Zhao.
A Fire Nation soldier moves towards Zuko and grabs him.
You're too late, Zhao. The Avatar's inside and the doors are sealed said Zuko.
No matter. Sooner or later, he has to come out said, Zhao.
Back with Aang and Roku.
I have something very important to tell you, Aang. That is why, when you were in the spirit world, I sent my dragon to find you said Roku.
Is it about that vision? The one with the comet? said Aang.
Yes said Roku.
What does it mean said Aang?
One hundred years ago, Fire Lord Sozen used that comet to begin the war. He and his firebending army harnessed its incredible power and dealt a deadly first strike against the other nations explained Roku.
So the comet made them stronger? Said Aang.
Yes. Stronger than you could even imagine said Roku.
But that happened a hundred years ago. What does the comet have to do with the war now? asked Aang.
Listen carefully. Sozen's comet will return by the end of the summer. And Fire Lord Ozai will use its power to finish the war once and for all. If he succeeds, even the Avatar won't be able to restore balance to the world. Aang, you must defeat the Fire Lord before the comet arrives said Roku.
But I haven't even started learning waterbending, not to mention earth and fire said Aang.
Mastering the elements takes years of discipline and practice. But if the world is to survive, you must do it by summer's end said Roku.
Back outside.
When those doors open, unleash all your firebending power said, Zhao.
How's Aang going to make it out of this? said Katara.
How're we going to make it out of this? said Sokka.
Then Sokka turned to Raiden.
Hey, why don't you Firebend us out of here said Sokka?
that's not a good idea said, Shyu.
Why not? said Sokka.
Because genius these are made of metal and when metal gets hot it turns red and when metal gets red and hot it also burns people said Raiden.
Oh said Sokka.
Back with Aang and Roku.
What if I can't master all the elements in time? What if I fail? said Aang.
I know you can do it Aang, for you have done it before. The solstice is ending. We must go our separate ways...for now said Roku
But I won't be able to come back to the temple. What if I have questions? How will I talk to you? said Aang.
I am a part of you. When you need to talk to me again, you will find a way. A great danger awaits you at the temple. I can help you face the threat. But only if you are ready Thought Roku to Aang.
Aang eyes were closed, his tattoo's s started glowing and then his eyes opened.
I'm ready said Aang.
back outside the doors start to glow, smoke starts pouring out and then everyone had to look away from the light.
Ready said, Zhao.
The doors open and two glowing eyes are visible in the dark.
No! Aang said Katara.
Fire said, Zhao.
Then Zhao firebends and the other follow but the fire swirls into a ball and as the ball opens Avatar Roku appears
Zhao is shocked.
Avatar Roku said, Shyu.
Roku draws the fire ball back towards himself and shoots it out into the room. Zhao and his soldiers are knocked to the floor. The heat of the blast melts the chains holding Sokka, Katara, Shyu, Raiden, and Zuko.
Zuko, now free runs.
Avatar Roku's blast has breached the temple walls. Roku's entire body is now glowing. he turns to look at the cowering Fire Sages. They take fright and run for their lives.
Avatar Roku is going to destroy the temple! we have to get out of here said, Shyu.
Not without Aang said Katara.
Good Luck to you. Let's go Raiden said, Shyu.
I'm staying Shyu. If I got with you I'll just be captured and brought back to my father and he'll send me somewhere else and this way I can help the Avatar end this war said Raiden.
Shyu smiled and hugged him.
Good luck said, Shyu.
Then Shyu ran towards the stairs.
Then Raiden turns to see Roku cracking the floor and then raising the lava from underneath the temple.
Then the smoke surrounds Roku and when it clears Aang is left behind.
Then Aang Falls to his Knees and Sokka and Katara rush forward to help.
We got your back said Sokka.
Thanks. Where's Shyu and Raiden said Aang?
I don't know said Katara.
the look to see Raiden in front of them.
He fled with the others said Raiden.
Why didn't you said Aang
Because I see now that is my destiny to help you end this war said Raiden.
The teens make why towards the secret passage but find it filled with lava so they to the hole in the temple wall made by Roku's blast.
Then they see Appa and Momo flying towards the temple.
The four slide down one the temples peak and onto Appa who then takes off.
No prince. No Avatar. Apparently, the only thing I do have is five traitors said, Zhao
But Commander, only Shyu helped the Avatar said the Great sage.
Save your stories for the Fire Lord. As far as I'm concerned, you're all guilty! Take them to the prison hold said, Zhao.
But then Zhao noticed the white haired boy saw earlier was with them and must have taken off with Avatar.
Who is he and Why does look so familiar thought, Zhao?
meanwhile, Zuko also caught sight of Appa through his spy glass and he thinks about the white haired boy.
Who was he but then Zuko a had a thought?
Could he be said Zuko?
Then Zuko shook his head.
No, he's dead said Zuko.
