Door of twilight
chapter 11
Bending
(It's time for the next real chapter, not just a Halloween one. And yes this world is the one from Avatar the last airbender.)
If I owned any of this, it would be an awesome video game/ TV show.

"Hey mom were back!" Joseph yelled as he ran off the transport paid. Not far behind him, everyone else that had gone down was coming off the paid to. While Joseph and David started telling Audrey about the whole experience, Sora went to go talk to Riku. (After saying hello to Kairi of course.)
Once reaching Riku's door, Sora made the mistake of just walking in before knocking. Suddenly Sora found him self on the receiving end of Riku's Dark Cannon spell. Sora quickly called the Kingdom Key to his hand and started spinning it around, blocking the magic attack. However before Sora could say anything about almost being blasted, Riku was able to shut and lock the door.
Walking back to the living room, Sora knew something had made Riku mad. While Riku wasn't the friendlies guy around, but lets face it, if you had been possessed by a Heartless, you wouldn't be the happiest guy around. Once he reached the living room he asked Kairi. "Did something happen to Riku while we were gone?"
While Sora may not be the smartest guy when it comes to women, he could tell something was up when Kairi, Rikku, Yuffie, and Yuna all looked at each other and had to keep from laughing. He could see Paine roll her eyes before answering. "They ambushed him when he came out to get something to eat, tied him to a chair, and started cutting his hair." Sora's face had lost just about all of its color, and his mouth was hanging open.
At this point Kairi had started to laugh a little before she started to talk. "Come one Sora his hair was longer than mine. The only people here that had longer hair then his are Tifa, and Aerith. And Aerith's is only longer by about half an inch. And don't worry he wont stay mad for long. It just probably be a good idea if he wasn't on the same team as me till he cools down." Kairi said giving a slight shake of her head. Anyone that knew Riku knew that, unless you did something like attack one of his friends, he would only stay mad at you for a few days. But during the few days he was mad, he would barely speak to you.
"We should probably send him to the next world so he can let off some frustration on unsuspecting Heartless." The King said after hearing why Riku was so mad. "Cid just tolled me that we should be at the next world in about ten minutes, so I'll go get Riku. Theres less chance he'll attack me if he knows I'm coming." The King said before walking off to get Riku.
A few minuets later the King walked back into the room with Riku. There were several thing different about Riku since the last time Sora had seen him. First off, his hair had been cut, and spiked in a way that looked like it took three bottles of hair gel. This was conferred when Sora saw about five bottles of hair gel sitting in the trashcan. However, in the back Riku's hair had only been cut two inches. The reaming hair had been pulled back into a ponytail. Now picture that, and then put a scowl on Riku's face and thats what he looked like.
"All right, were at the next world. It's called "Four Nations." What ever that means." Cid said as he walked into the room. "Now after talking it over with the King, we got who's going down. Riku, Sora, Leon, Tifa, Aerith, and Yuffie. Congratulation you six get to go down to the planet. Now this world is kind of different. You can't use mana, and your Keyblade's will have to be carried like normal weapons." Cid said as everyone got on the transport paid.
Yuffie had grown somewhat pale when she heard that she was on the same team as Riku. Of course Sora had just about the same look when he learned he wouldn't be able to use his magic, and had to hall the Keyblade around all the time. Now lets face it, the Kingdom Key was a fairly heavy weapon. Why do you think Sora used both hands to carry it? The only reason he could hold it in one hand when he was in a form, was because he had the straight of at lest two people. That or he used magic to control the Keyblade's without acutely holding them.
No one noticed Riku smirk before being sent to the planet below.

Once the light cleared, the team could see that they were in a desert. All you could see for miles was nothing but sand. Each member of the team had a medallion hanging around their neck. Sora and Yuffie each had one that looked some what like a cloud. Leon and Tifa each had one that looked like a mountain. Aerith had one that looked like water. And finally Riku had one that looked like a flame.
"Since mana doesn't work on this world another energy source takes it's place. On most worlds there are two energy sources mana, and chi. You can use ether one, but most people find it easer to use mana. Since mana doesn't exist on this world, chi is vary strong here. The people of this world use chi to control the four elements of fire, water, air, and earth. They call this bending." Riku explained to everyone else in the group.
"Now when people from other worlds come here, they are given the ability to freely use chi, the same way they would use mana. They type of bending you can do is based on your personality. Sora and Yuffie are airbenders, Tifa and Leon are earthbenders, Aerith's a waterbender, and I'm a firebender." Riku went on to say. "Now each style of bending has it's strong points. Airbenders are vary fast, earthbenders are almost unmovable, waterbenders have strong defense, and firebenders have vary powerful attacks."
"Hey Riku how do you know all of this?"
The question came from Sora, and Riku could understand why he would be asking. "I was here for almost two months when I was looking for Roxas. So I leaned some firebending while I was here." Riku replied with a shrug. "Anyway it won't do us any good standing out here in some sand. Lets see if we can find a town."

"Hey Cloud wake up!"
Cloud bolted out of his bed, and was standing in a flash, Buster Sword in one hand, wooden stake in the other. However he quickly put the weapons down when he saw that it was just Zell. Zell had a smirk on his face when he started to talk. "So have a good time last night?" Cloud could feel the urge to hit him returning. "Ah, don't worry about it, we saw you running for your life at lest three times. I do have one question, why were you sleeping with a wooden stake if your a vampire here?"
"Half my stalkers were female vampires."
"Right, anyway doesn't look like there are any Heartless here. We meet this guy named Jack something, anyway he said there haven't been any Heartless here for about eight months now. So were moving on to the next world. Meet us at the landing point in thirty minuets." Zell then started walking to the door, but stopped just before he was out of the room. "And Cloud try not to get chased by another army of fan girls." Zell quickly ran out of the room before Cloud could find something to throw at him.

"As much fun as it is walking around in the desert, I think we should find someone who knows were there going." Yuffie said as she continued to follow everyone else through the desert. She had made it vary clear that she didn't like walking through hot sand. "Why don't we just go find some shade and try and figure out how to do are bending stuff for now." She said as soon as she spotted some trees creating a rather large amount of shade. No one seemed to argue with that.
"Riku, you said you've been here before, do you know anything about water, air, or earthbending?" Aerith asked as they all sat down. Riku gave a slight node before he started the rather long explanation.
(Pleas not that the following is a copy past job from Wikipedai)
"Waterbending is based on the "Ku" style of Tai Chi, which originated in the Ku Yu Cheong lineage; it is a martial art that features slow movements and elegant forms that evoke the feel of flowing water. Waterbending's strength is its defensive capabilities. Unlike some other bending disciplines, Waterbending's defensive maneuvers focus on control through turning an opponent's own strength against him, rather than directly harming the opponent."
"Earthbending is generally based on the Hung Gar style of Kung Fu, which features heavily rooted stances and strong kicks and punches that evoke the mass and power of earth. Unlike other bending disciplines, earthbending maintains a balance between offensive and defensive capabilities."
"Airbending is based on the Ba Gua style of Kung Fu with a small hint of Hsing Yi, also known as "mind heart boxing." These martial arts feature swift, evasive maneuvers that evoke the intangibility and explosive power of wind. Ba Gua, which utilizes circle walking, is known for its constantly circular movement which makes it difficult for opponents to attack directly. Unlike other bending disciplines, airbending lacks fatal finishing moves, being an almost entirely defensive art."
"And finally. Firebending is based on the Northern Shaolin style of Kung Fu with a dash of Northern 7 Star Praying Mantis. These martial arts feature quick, successive, ferocious attacks that evoke the uncompromising danger of fire. Unlike other bending disciplines, firebending has few defensive moves aside from blocking and dodging."
"Dude, you just gave us the whole history of every bending style, and thats great and all, but I think Aerith meant if you knew how to use air, water, or earthbending." Sora said as he stared at his white hared friend.
"In that case, no I don't." Riku replayed with a shrug. He could tell that Sora and Yuffie wanted to hit something by the look on there face. However before they could say anything they heard something coming there way. And then they heard the voice.
"Hello fellow refuges!" Turning they could see a group of eight people and a little monkey/limier thing. There was an older man wearing simple green robs, his wife who was pregnant, and what looked like there daughter. However Riku was more interested in the other five people.
There was a young boy, looking around the age of twelve or thirteen. He was in yellow and red robs, carried an odd looking staff, and had a weired blue arrow tattoo on his head, and hands. There was another boy with vary dark skin, and dark hair pulled back in a wolf tail, dressed in blue robs. He had a small sword at his side, and what looked like a boomerang on his back.
Next there was a girl who looked a lot like the last boy. They had the same hair color, and wore the same type of close. She had what looked like some sort of water bottle at her side. There was a girl in what looked like some sort of uniform, consisting of a green colored rob. She had two unidentified things on her side that looked like little sticks. Finally there was another girl, with dark hair, that looked about as old as the first boy. She wore green and yellow robs, but unlike the others carried nothing with her.
The boy with the arrow on his head steeped forwards. "Hello I'm Aang. Nice to meet you."
