Avatar: The Hope-bearer

Chapter One

The prison exploded as a flare of yellow light emerged from the Royal Prison in the Fire Nation, from the wreckage of the shattered stone walls came a man inside the brilliant yellow light. To most people in the Fire Nation, the figure would be familar as the previous Fire Lord... Ozai. He was dressed in a form fitting suit resembling the armour of one of his soldiers during the lasr days of the Hundred Years war. On the centre of the chest place was a symbol which was shaped like a Lantern.

"I can feel the power coursing in my veins, the power of terror to spread on those who dared to spite me. To those would have tried to steal my rightful place as the ruler of this world. Now I have the power to rule over this entire universe at my fingers, but first it is time for me to visit with my backstabbing son and the weakling Avatar who made the mistake of allowing me to live." said the power-mad former king as he used the ring to try and scan for the location of the Avatar.

He had been shocked when the ring arrived in his cell from the window, but floored when the ring spoke to Ozai within the man's mind. "Ozai of the Fire Nation, you have the ability to inspire great fear in others."

The ring slipped itself on his finger as he felt himself started to be transformed by some kind of greater power then any he had felt before, even greater then the power provided by Sozin's Comet. He could feel his clothing change as well into some kind of version of the armour his men wore, but in yellow and black with white markings. The ring spoke again in his mind as it said, "Welcome to the Sinestro Corps. Normally you would be taken for further training, but we are not in the prime universe. Emergency protocols have been issued... re-establishment of the Sinestro Corps and promoting terror as means for advancing Sinestro Corps powers."

"What are you, some kind of magic ring?" he asked it, wondering what it was. Instantly he was rewarded by the images of potential of the ring. Light shields and weapons, the ability to control all four elements, in essence anything he could think of could be made real. As long as he could empower it by creating fear in others.

Which is how he could break himself out of jail with such ease. Now was time to cause fear as he got his revenge on those who rightful deserved it. So he headed for the place he could expect to find his son, who had replaced Ozai as the Fire Lord. He flew using the ring's power to the royal palace in the centre of the Fire Nation capital, where the court was held. As he flew, people ran as they reconized him and stared at his new powers. They would come to know fear for letting their master rot in a cell under a traitor's rule, for turning their backs on the greatest civilization's rise to power in exchange for the commands of barbarians.

He laughed as he shot little reminders of his greatness at them as they ducked for cover, to enhance the effect he made the right which surrounded him in a protective layer in the form of a phoenix. For like the Phoenix King he was, he had died in ashes and rose to burn the world in his flames once again. Soon he was at the palace and had to decide which way to make himself known to his son, which was simple.

Ozai used the yellow light to summon flames as he aimed them with his hands without using any of the firebending moves and stances. Yellow flames took the wooden and other flammable materials of the places up like a torch, as more and more people started to scream and run away. Guards tried to defend their leader by bending the flames out, but the yellow fires seemed to have a greater resistance to the bending moves then normal flames.

Soon Zuko himself rushed out of the halls of the burning palace as the father spoke, "Missed me, my so-called son. I have come to take back what was stolen from me, as well as give you your punishment."

Zuko took up what looked like a firebending form, ready to defend himself from the battle which would be following. All to prove worthless as Ozai's power was greater with the power of his own ring, when a flash of green light came over the palace. Looking around the palace, he saw what looked like a boy in a green and black costume with white additions. His face was covered in white, green and black face paint. He was dressed like a Water Tribes barbarian, in what they considered armour... in truth it was nothing more then leather and toughened hides. Ozai looked closer and noticed a glow on one of the child's fingers.

'Power ring detected, Green Lantern in range.' came the words from the ring as the Golden Phoenix looked at his opponent.

'What the hell is a Green Lantern?' he asked his ring with his own mind, silent to the outside world. He was ignoring the words of the younger man in green.

'Green Lanterns are the opponents of the Sinestro Corps. Green Lanterns are powered by will, Sinestros are powered by fear. Unless the Greens have over come their greatest fears, their powers are immune to the colour yellow. If they have over come their fears, they have no such weakness.'

"So Green Lantern, you expect me to surrender? Let's just see how green you are?" asked Ozai as he shot out a beam of explosive electricity, mimicing the power of lightningbending.

The Green Lantern tried to block the blast, but the yellow shattered the shield with it's power and pushing the boy in green back. Zuko shouted out a name, Sok-something. Ozai turned to his ex-son and asked, "Friend of yours, Zuko? I think it's time for you to witness the death of your friend there. Mha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Ozai flew after the boy with both hands shooting out lightning from the energy field which surrounded the tyrant, as the boy tried to fly and dodge the lightning bolts. Ozai continued to laugh and enjoy the power of the ring, where not even another similar ring could counter act the power he wielded. The older man spoke, "If this is the best you can do, then you are all destinied to fall under the flames of the Golden Phoenix King. Not even the Avatar could stop me!"

As if summoned by fate by those words, a flash of violet and blue crossed the sky as two new people floated in the sky. What appeared in the sky in front of the green boy he had been hunting was a female teen in a violet and revealing outfit with a plunging neckline... and his foe the Avatar in a costume of blue and black like the uniforms which he and the Water Tribe peon wore. The Avatar held a power ring as well... instantly his mind asked for the information for the two new opponents.

'Star Sapphire or Violet Lantern, interaction between the yellow light of fear and violet light of love is almost equal. Blue Lanterns, holders of the blue light of hope. Blue rings are next to useless without a green lantern, however, the power of the blue light negates the power of the yellow light. This leads to the depowering of the Sinestro power ring. Danger levels have increased, recommend retreat option.'

'No! The Avatar can not have gained the power to defeat my new power. Fate can not have allowed me to get this far in gaining back what I have lost, just so I can loose it all again at the hands of damned Avatar. There must be come way to defeat the blue power.' he shouted in his mind as the Avatar created a blue shield in front of the green boy. The violet Star Sapphire was using some combination of waterbending and her violet powers to extinguish the fire he created, by making water from air and moving it around with bending.

The Avatar moved forward to Ozai with his ring blazing azure, while Ozai could feel his own amber light getting weaker as the child came closer. Ozai had no choice in the matter and had to look for a way to escape. His mind was reeling as he knew what he had to do... 'I have to learn more about this ring, about all of the rings. To rebuild my army so I can defeat the Avatar, his allies and their new powers. I must survive for today so I will win on another occasion. Ring, take me out of here."

As commanded, the ring allowed Ozai to shot straight up into space where he would be hard to find and could recover in time.
