The King of Omashu

Aangie's POV

"The earth kingdom, city of Omashu," I introduced once they could see the great kingdom, "I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi," I said excitedly.

"Wow, we haven't got cities like this in the south pole," Katara admired astonished.

"They have buildings here that don't melt," Sokka added.

"Well, let's go slowpokes, the real fun is inside the city," I said jumping into the air, before starting to slide down the hillside.

"Wait Aangie!" Katara called, "It could be dangerous if people find out you're the avatar," she warned me. I stopped in my tracks, didn't think about that.

"Yeah, you need a disguise," Sokka added.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea," I stated and hurried up the hillside again. I parted my hair in the middle and tied on a headband, just to cover up my tattoos. After searching through Appa's saddle I found my gloves, covering the tattoos on my hands.


We walked towards the city. On our way across the bridge we saw a cabbage merchant trying to get inside the city.

"Rotten cabbages!" I heard one of the guards yell. He threw a cabbage into the air, before creating an earth column sending the man's carriage of cabbage into the air before crashing towards the bottom of the meadow. I wanted to use airbending to shoot the cabbage and carriage back down onto the bridge safely, but I couldn't I would totally blow my cover.

"Just keep smiling," I told Sokka and Katara who were probably really shocked.

"State your business kids!" the man said and pulled a big stone out of the bridge and held it over me as I was in front of us. I jumped up into a front flip crushing the stone with an air blade, but I made sure he wouldn't be able to see it. All of the men looked shocked leaving me pleased.

"We're going to visit a friend, no need to be rude," I told him. I could've been nicer, and not have crushed the giant rock, but he could've been nicer too!

"I'm sorry," he apologized, "What are your names?" he asked in a more friendly tone.

"My name's Kaya, this is June and Bonsu," I introduced pointing over at Katara and Sokka. He nodded,

"Enjoy the city of Omashu," he said and gave the others a sign. They opened the gigantic gate; make that gates, by using earth bending.

"This is Omashu's delivery system," I said motioning to the big and many chutes around the city. These systems are miles long! "Earthbending brings the packages up, gravity brings them down," I explained.

"Great, they get their mail on time," Sokka said unimpressed.

"Yeah, they do!" I smiled, "But my friend Bumi found a better use for these shoots," I said thinking back in time when my friend Bumi reintroduced me to the system as the world's greatest super slide. I told the guys how we had travelled down the slides and they were up for it, as hoped.


"It sounded fun at first, but now I'm not so sure," Katara said as I tipped us over the edge of the super steep slide. We slid down with me laughing remembering the good times I had with Bumi, while the others were screaming. After a while our slide merged with another. Sokka and Katara screamed frightened as a package of spears was in our heels.

"I'm on it!" I said and used my airbending to propel us faster down the slide.

"Do something!" Katara screamed, "Use your airbending!" she said. She was probably really scared and wanted me to create an air current in front of us kill our speed, but I don't think we're going that fast…yet!

"Great idea, it'll make us go even faster!" I exclaimed knowing perfectly well what she really meant. I sent us sliding faster down the slides, when I saw we'd be crashing, because earthbenders were bringing up new crates in front of us. Now, for the first time I joined in screaming. I used my airbending to make the crate land the correct way so we would land in the crate. We ended up outside the slide landing on a roof crushing some tiles. Oops! We crashed into a house crushing the windows. And then we crashed with a small wall almost sending us directly down.

I saw the cabbage seller underneath us. I used breath of wind to shoot us backwards. We still ended up tipping the wagon. I yelped and jumped out of the crate I created small airballs around almost every cabbage to avoid destroying them, but unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough, even with my enhanced speed. A pack of guards surrounded us and I delivered my best smile.

They brought us in front of the king of Omashu. Two guards made us kneel.

"Your majesty, these juveniles were arrested for vandalism, travelling under false pretenses and malicious destruction of cabbages," one of the guards informed the king. The King was wearing a green robe and a weird, two-feathered hat.

"Off with their heads! One for each head of cabbage!" the cabbage merchant yelled.

"Silence, only the king can decide!" the guard told him. This was quite upsetting; this is kind of my fault, ok so it is my fault…

"Throw them…" he started. We all hoped for the best giving him our best smiles of innocence, "…a feast!" he announced and we all looked surprised. A feast? Seriously? The guards and the cabbage merchant looked upset. I guess they didn't expect that punishment!

We sat together with the king with a big table. Sokka, Katara and I at one end, while the king was sitting in the opposite end. All of a sudden the king threw a chicken leg at me. I automatically catched it with an airball, but realized I had just blown my cover, so I let it drop onto my plate.

"There is an airbender in our presence, and not just any airbender, the avatar," the king announced. Everyone ooh-ed. "Now, what do you have to say for yourself?" he asked.

"Ok, you caught me, I'm the avatar," I said and stood up, "Doing my avatar thing keeping the world safe, everything checks out, no firebenders here!" I looked under the table, "So, good work everybody, love each other, respect all life and don't run with your spears, we'll see you next time," I said as the three of us backed out the door, but the two guards covered the door with their spear.

"You can't keep us here!" Katara said, "Let us leave!"

"Lettuce leaf?" he asked and took a bite from a lettuce leave.

"We're in serious trouble, this guy is nuts," Sokka whispered.

Three deadly challenges… three deadly challenges. The king had thrown us in the chamber that used to be bad, but has newly been refurbished. Before I could fall asleep I thought about it. What could that crazy king come up with? I eventually fell asleep as lay thinking about it.

I woke up by the sound of earth moving. I shot up in bed and realized Sokka and Katara was gone and two soldiers were in the "door".

"Sokka? Katara? Where are my friends?" I demanded getting up.

"The king will free them if you complete your challenges," the soldier said.

"And if I fail?" I asked expecting something...well bad...

"He didn't say, your staff please," he reached out a hand for my staff. I used air suction to pull it into my hand and swirled up into the air pointing my staff at them. I wanted to attack them, I could easily take this guy out, but they had my friends. I stood up from my fighting stance and gave him my staff. They led me out and I met the king.

"First avatar, what do you think of my outfit? I want your honest opinion," he asked me. Deadly test? Is this some kind of trick question?

"Eh, its fine, I guess…" I answered.

"Alright, you passed your first test!" he said.

"What? Seriously?" I asked.

"Well, not one of the deadly tests, the real challenges are much more challenging," he said and I facepalmed.

"Look, king… I don't have time for this. I need to get to the North Pole to master the element of water, so you have to give me my friends back!" I commanded.

"I thought you'd might object," he showed me my friends, "That's why I'll give your friends some special souvenirs," he said and the guards put a ring each on them. Apparently they were made of jennamite or creeping crystal that grows really fast and only the king could stop them from growing, covering their whole bodies. And so, I had to agree to do the challenges.

Challenge 1:

I had to fetch the king's lunch box key, problem: it was inside a strong waterfall hanging from a chain. For help there was a ladder you could climb up, and the area around the waterfall was filled with pointy rock columns.

I jumped from column to column flipping around to move towards the waterfall. I dived into the water and catched the ladder. I managed to climb a couple of steps, but the pressure was too strong, I would never get to the top! I loosened my grip and shot out from the waterfall. I catched myself between some pillars by doing a split. I thought for a second. I can't move towards the pressure, I could follow the pressure downwards, but it is so strong I wouldn't be able to direct myself to the key. I figured I would need a new tactic, I can't enter the water, but something else can. I cut the top of one of the pillars with an air blade. I did a flip and landed on the now; flat edge of the pillar. I aimed for the key chain and threw the top of the pillar towards the water. I sent a powerful air swipe towards the water with a flying roundhouse kick. My attack stopped the water from shooting the rock pillar away and it cut the chain, so the pillar shot through the chain attached to the key and into the wall over the king.

Challenge 2:

I was gonna find the king's pet, Flopsy. I jumped into the crater and saw a small bunny. When I was about to pick him up I heard a loud boom behind me. When I turned around I saw some kind of giant goat, monster animal. I heard the bunny running away I ran after it calling its name. One thing I realized was that I could keep calling its name but it wouldn't come to me, while the goat thing did. Maybe the rabbit was scared and the goat wanted to eat me…but I thought about it. Why would the king place such a big animal on a field with his beloved pet rabbit? The rabbit ran into a rabbit hole, but I didn't bother to search for it. I stopped and turned towards the goat thing.

"Flopsy?" I asked and the animal stopped. It lifted me up and licked me. "Flopsy!" I called rubbing its forehead. The king whistled and Flopsy climbed over the edge to him.

Challenge 3:

So, it was a duel, with me and an opponent I could choose. One evil looking, quite slim guy, one gigantic guy with a big axe and the king? The king told me to point and choose, so I assumed that everyone in front of me, including the king, was an alternative.

"So you're saying whoever I point to, that's the person I get to fight?" I asked.

"Choose wisely," I said.

"I choose, you!" I told him pointing at the king.

"Wrong choice!" he smirked. I stood up and took of his robe. He was the crazy, old, stoop man, but he was also strong and well trained! The king made an earth line sending me off the balcony like thing. I flew of landing on my back tipping over on my stomach. The king jumped down to me and landed about just in front of me.

"You thought I was a frail, old man, but I'm the most powerful earthbender you'll ever see," he said, somehow I don't doubt it.

"Can I fight the guy with the axe instead?" I asked pointing at the biggest of the guys.

"There are no take-backsies in my kingdom," he said, "You might need this." A guard threw me my staff. He lifted stone blocks from the ground and sent them towards me. I dodged his attacks holding my staff ready.

"Typical airbender tactic, avoid and avaid. I'd hope the avatar would be less predictable," he said and sent another stone block at me. I jumped up rotating my staff to make me soar in the air. "Don't you have any surprises for me? Sooner or later you'll have to strike back," he said kicked a stone block into the ceiling above me. I fell and dropped my staff. I ran towards him. He created rock columns wherever I ran. One of them hit me and I flew up into the air.

"You'll have to be a little more creative than that," he said. I gained speed falling towards the ground and landed with an air bomb. He put up an earth wall in front of him blocking my attack.

"Did someone leave the windows open? It feels a little drafty in here…are you hoping I'll catch a cold?" he asked me. He made a giant stone hand appear and sent it towards me. I used my enhanced agility to jump up into the air, but it managed to knock me down. Ok, what am I missing? He makes it hard for to use my original fighting technique…but I'm the avatar, I should be able to fight like more than just airbenders! He made an earth line come towards me. I jumped up onto a wall and pushed myself forward so I could grab my staff.

"How are you going to get me from way over there?" he asked. I used my enhanced speed and ran towards him. He made the earth underneath me turn to quicksand. I was kind of stuck. He lifted some stones and sent them towards me trying to smash me. I created a small air spout to fly up from the sand. I jumped up and sent a powerful air swipe towards him. It pushed him into the wall behind him. He shot a rock towards me from behind. I jumped over it so it would keep its course. It flew towards the king, but he crushed it once it hit him, so it didn't deal damage the way I hoped! The king lifted a gigantic block of stone, including parts of the wall. I created an air vortex by spinning around my arms. When the king threw the stone block it swirled around my vortex and back at him. I jumped towards him, he divided the stone block and I pointed my staff at him. He smirked, and I saw him holding a big stone over us.

"Well done avatar, you fight with much fire in your heart," he said and fell backwards. As soon as he hit the ground he went through it, there was left a shape of his body though. I looked weirdly at the king shaped hole in the ground, but then he popped up with Sokka and Katara. I flew up to him.

"Let my friends go," I told him.

"First you need to answer my question," he said,

"No fair!" I protested, "You said three tests and I completed all of them," I said.

"Yes, but what's the point of tests if you don't learn anything," he said, I facepalmed before looking up at him awaiting the question.

"What…is my name?" he asked, "by the looks of it you only have a couple of minutes to figure out of it," he said talking about Sokka and Katara that was almost covered in jennamite crystals. I thought about it, how would I know his name?

"I've got it!" Sokka exclaimed.

"What?" I asked.

"He's an earthbender right…Rocky! You know, because of all the rocks," he said.

"We're gonna keep trying, but that is a good backup," Katara stated, "Think about the challenges," she said.

"Nothing was as I thought…" I said.

"Well what did you learn?" Katara asked.

""Well, I had to think differently than I usually would. I had to open my mind for the possibilities…that's it!" I exclaimed, "I know his name!"

I went to face the king.

"So..?" he asked.

"I learned that I had to think differently than usually. As you said ad long time ago, I need to open my mind to the possibilities," I said "Bumi, you are a mad genius," I told him and ran over to hug him, "It's good to see you again Bumi!"

"Oh Aangie you haven't changed a bit, literally," he said. I laughed.

"Before we go, I have a challenge for you!" I told him. He looked at me curiously.

"Wohoo!" I yelled as we slid down the delivery system. I used my airbending to go faster and unfortunately for the cabbage merchant, we kinda crushed his cabbages again. This time though, instead of trying to save them, I just laughed and let us crush them, because he had wanted our heads off!

Sokka, Katara and I left on Appa. After all that time, the king was my friend Bumi. I can't believe it, I didn't recognize him, I mean he was a hundred years older, but he was still the same. His hair kinda was the same, but his personality was exactly the same! And it turned out the crystals encasing Sokka and Katara's bodies was some kind of kinda, think about that, candy...that grows really fast. You could buy a small piece of it and eat a whole lot of it!

Ok, that was episode five! Hope you guys liked that and that you'll tell me what you thought! Anyway..do you want next chapter to be the same; with some chemistry between Katara and Haru or do you want it to be a little something between Haru and Aangie? PLease tell me, btw. i won't be able to update within a week because I'm unfortuantely gonna be without my computer and without my internet... *pout*

Sukki18: Wow, that's really cool to hear. Hope you liked the chapter!

foxchick1: Haha, thanks! :) I guess there was chaos, but not much away from the original plot... but, hope you'll enjoy that too!
