Yay! The creepy yet magical swamp is here, and I have found a way to predict certain events that are going to happen, pay very close attention to some particular details! Don't own ATLA or DP
Danny watched Aang slowly as he appeared to fall into a trance, staring off into the swamp below them. It ran for hundreds of miles beneath them, never seeming to end. Danny's eyes narrowed as Aang subconsciously began to lower Appa towards the ominous trees below.
Suddenly Sokka looked up from sharpening his boomerang as they began to reach the trees "Aang what are you doing?" he asked. Aang jerked out of his thoughts and looked up "Huh?" he said. Sokka shook his head "Why are we lowering?" he asked.
Aang looked at him in confusion "We were lowering? I didn't even notice" he said. Sokka slapped his forehead "Are you noticing now!?" he yelled as Appa began to brush the leaves. Aang slightly had Appa go higher "Hey guys, I know this is going to sound strange but I think the swamp is calling me, like it wants me to land" he said.
Sam snorted and looked down "No offence to the swamp, I mean personally I would love to see the exotic plants but there isn't exactly enough land to land on" she said. Everyone but Aang and Danny nodded in agreement. Aang took one last look at the swamp "Well, if everyone feels so strongly about this, then, bye swamp" he said before having Appa fly higher.
Suddenly out of nowhere a tornado appeared, raging behind them. Furiously Appa flew to get away from the raging storm while Aang, Danny, and Jazz created an air bubble around them. They struggled to hold it but eventually ended up losing control and flying in separate directions into the swamp below.
Sokka, Aang, and Katara went one way. Danny, Sam, and Jazz went another. Appa and Momo then went the third.
Danny groaned and stood up "Where are the others?" he asked. Everyone tensed as silence hit them hard. Danny sighed in defeat "We had better start walking" he muttered.
Swiftly the two girls walked after him into the foggy mist of the swamp…
Line break
After a while of walking they decided to set up for camp but they sat by each other, keeping each other warm. Sam wouldn't let them build a fire due to 'Damages to the environment' as she put it. Danny shivered as strange noises pierced through the silence around them.
Slowly they began to relax and doze off, ignoring their surroundings. Unfortunately that wasn't wise since vines slowly wrapped around them, the group completely oblivious. Suddenly the vines yanked the three startled teens in opposite directions.
Danny swiftly airbended himself out of the vines and took off through the trees. But when he finally stopped, Sam and Jazz were nowhere to be found…
Line break
Sam swiftly halted the vines movements with her own water bending before taking off, trying to catch sight of any one familiar in the dark woods. Unfortunately all she found was an empty clearing. Wrapping her arms in cold and slight fear at the strangeness of the swamp, she continued on.
All the while scary stories about swamps she had read in her books flashed through her mind…
Line break
Jazz, like Danny, swiftly airbended herself out of the vines grip and swiftly took off in the direction she thought was were their camp had been. She figured it would be logical for them to meet up there. Unfortunately she couldn't see a thing through the dark, only the vines swaying in the wind.
Nervously Jazz moved on, the swamp gave her an eerie feeling and she knew that she just had to get out of there soon…
Line break
Danny had given up air bending and was now fighting his way through the tangles of the vines. Above the sun, now shining, was very thin through the deep canopy. Suddenly Danny heard a familiar laugh.
Swiftly he turned around, not knowing whether or not to believe his eyes or not for there floated his cousin, Danni Phantom. Of course she looked different, she had on red clothing of the Fire Nation and her hair was white with a black streak going through the middle and smaller black streaks here and there.
Her eyes, to Danny's surprise, were not her ghostly green either, instead they were pleading in one deep sky blue and one emerald green that mirrored his own "Please rescue me" she whispered before vanishing.
Danny stared in shock at the spot before leaping through the trees, glider in hand…
Line break
Sam whirled around towards the bushes. Immediately she prepared for an attacker as she walked towards the noise. She leapt through the bushes but to her surprise she found nothing.
For a moment she stared in confusion. Finally she shrugged and turned to find herself face to face with Danny, but this wasn't the Danny who was here. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw Dark Dan standing there.
But he wasn't anything how Danny described him, he looked sad and distant. Suddenly he locked red eyes into Sam's eyes "You let me become this, why did you leave" he whispered before fading away. Sam fought hard to bite back tears, she was a Goth and Goths didn't cry.
Unfortunately as she turned and ran from the spot she couldn't help a single tear falling down her cheek…
Line break
Jazz nervously watched her step. The swamp around her seemed empty and eerie. Danny, Sam, or any of the others were no where in sight.
Jazz shivered in fear, but she couldn't stop, she couldn't let her little brother down. Around her noises sounded, and very eerily as well. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
However when she opened them she came face to face with Danny, but it was the Danny she knew during the Disasteroid event. He had the white streak running through his hair and tears streaming down his face. He looked up at her with pleading eyes "You failed me Jazz! You let me get rid of my powers so the earth could be destroyed!" he shouted in anguish before vanishing on the spot.
Jazz stared at the spot in horror "No, No I never fail!" she shouted to nothing.
Tears clung to her cheeks as she ran off into the swamp…
Line break
Now, this is Sokka's because it will be different with Yue not being part of the story.
Sokka cut his way angrily through the vines, complaining the whole way. Suddenly he heard a noise and whipped towards the source.
His mouth widened as he saw Aang's creepy friend Danny's sister standing in a black shirt and teal pants with her head band in the same color.
Yet she looked distant and sad "You must protect me Sokka" she whispered. Sokka closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes she was gone.
Slowly Sokka sighed in relief before turning around to come face to face with her once more. He stumbled back in fear and found himself looking at only the swamp around him.
Swiftly in confusion he continued on…
Line break
Once more Danny heard something but this time it sounded like sobbing, rather than his cousins laugh. Swiftly Danny took off towards the noise, preparing himself to attack. He quickly lunged out of the bushes at the startled girl and together they went tumbling down a huge root into another clearing where another girl was just walking out of the clearing and one boy was standing.
Just seconds later screams were heard and two other people came flying out of the vines, flying into the group causing them to become a tangled mess. Danny looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, other then Appa and Momo, every one was hear. Then he caught sight of Jazz's face, she was the one who had been crying.
And to his utter shock Sam seemed upset about something as well "Jazz? Sam? What's wrong?" he asked. Everyone turned to the startled girls who wiped away their tears "Nothing, it was n-nothing" Sam said shakily. Danny folded his arms "Sam, you're a Goth, Goths don't cry unless it's really big" he said.
Sam lowered her head in defeat "I thought I saw you, dark you" she said quietly. Jazz then let out a strangled gasp "I also saw you, but after you lost your powers, you said I failed you" she said quietly. Danny stared in shock "Well looks like we now have two delusional people in the group" Sokka said sarcastically.
Aang shook his head "I thought I saw a girl I had never seen before" he said. Katara looked down "I thought I saw mom" she said. Danny looked around thoughtfully "And I thought I saw Danielle, but she looked different, as though she was in trouble, and not quite herself" he said.
Sokka looked away "Look, we're all just hungry and thought we saw things" he said. Katara's head snapped in his direction "You mean you saw some one too?" she asked. Sokka looked away with a light blush "I would rather not say" he said.
Danny shrugged. Suddenly a giant vine monster flew out from the water. Swiftly it reached over a long hand and grabbed Sokka, pulling it against his body.
Quickly the others wasted no time in going to Sokka's defense. Sam and Katara worked together to slice the monster with water bending while Aang, Danny, and Jazz did the same with air bending. Suddenly the vine monster whipped out a third hand and blasted Danny into a tree where he rolled into the water and remained motionless.
Sam snarled in rage and froze the area where Sokka was stuck. Aang then leapt up and blasted a hole in the middle. And with Sokka free the gang doubled there attacks that were increased when Danny came to and launched both air and water attacks at it.
Suddenly as Aang and Danny cut the head with the air blasts caused by their staffs, the vines fell towards the ground to reveal a man who promptly gave up bending "Why did you attack us!?" Sokka shouted. The man looked slightly annoyed "Because you come in and destroy the nature with your weapons" he said. Sam looked horrified as Aang stepped up "But if you only wanted to destroy us then why did you call us here?" he asked.
The man laughed "I did no such thing" he said. Jazz looked confused "But wasn't it you who created the tornado that tossed us down here?" She asked. The man grinned "I only bend the water in the plants" he said.
Jazz looked nervous at being wrong while Sokka looked at her funny "Jazz, your hanging with the Avatar, things like that happen a lot" he said. Sam smirked "And don't forget the 'Phantom Bender' over here" she said, motioning to Danny who looked wary. Sokka tossed a distrustful glance back at him as the man looked startled "The Avatar and Phantom Bender? Come with me" he said.
Warily the group followed him to the center of the swamp where a giant tree stood cowering above the rest. Danny listened intently as the man explained how every thing was connected, just as the four nations and the world was one big thing. Danny suddenly raised an eyebrow as a question was brought up about their visions.
The man explained how the visions were of people they had lost or loved. Danny perked up an eyebrow "But in my vision I had never seen her like that, I know who it is but for her to get to that state would take more than she has been through" he said.
Aang nodded in agreement "And I have never seen the girl from my vision" he said. The man smiled "Think about what I just told you" he said. Both boys did so "Time is an allusion" Aang muttered.
Danny suddenly looked nervous "So for Aang it's some one he will meet and for me I will see her like that?" he asked, suddenly fearing for Danni.
Unfortunately the feeling worsened as the man nodded. Suddenly Sam looked closely at the man "So do you know how we find Aang's pets?" she asked. Aang thought for a second "Everything is connected" he said as he put a hand on the tree.
Suddenly both his and Danny's eyes flashed white and both of them saw a trail run through the swamp to where Appa and Momo were being captured by creepy swamp men. Both boys shot up "We have to hurry, they're in trouble!" Aang shouted…
Line break
Easily Danny and Aang raced to the scene, cutting through the net that dragged Appa. Danny then used his own air bending to release Momo from his miniature bag prison. The swamp men then water bended a giant wave to hit them.
Luckily Sam and Katara came at that moment and together the four of them steadily kept the wave at bay "Hey! Your water benders!" Katara said happily. The water bender looked exited and the wave dropped down "You two? That means we akin!" he said happily. Katara then looked thoroughly disgusted at that fact.
Line break
Later they sat at a large fire eating (to Sam's disgust) fish and bugs on a stick. Sokka looked over to them "See, I hope this has taught you a lesson, there is nothing mystical about this swamp" he told Katara. Apparently they had spent a few hours arguing over it while they were split up.
One of the swamp guys sat across from them "Ah but it is mystical, the swamp is a dangerous place full of wonder" he said. Sokka rolled his eyes while Sam looked around with a rare twinkle in her eye. But off some ways in the distance a bird let out a shrill whistle before the swamp grew into a deadly silence outside of their circle…
Yue is a Water Tribe princess that Sokka met in the Northern Water Tribe in the series. But since he never went in my version she won't appear. She actually became the moon spirit so in a sense she kinda died in Sokka's arms. She later appears in other episodes and was supposed to be in this one but as you can see, not if I can help it!
