Orcas: Water…
Proud sculptors of the Northern Water Tribe work tirelessly in their mission of carving out a statue of Khole. The likeness of the statue looks on proudly, though she herself feels that she doesn't deserve it. Dark clouds that loomed overhead did not deter the work of the grateful carvers…
Duunya: Earth…
Ischi smiled as her husband waved goodbye to her before leaving her chambers in the Earth Palace. Dai Li agents loyal to Ischi surrounded her protectively, because her womb was swelled with their first son: Kaizu…
Ragnarok: Fire…
Twi and Su Li took turns firing small, harmless firecrackers into unsuspecting crowds from the safety of the new palace wall, laughing gleefully at the expression of their victims…
Sykclon: Air…
Since the migration of other Nomads from the other Air Temples, the Western Air Temple had become populated again. In the peacefulness of the Silent Stone, Meiya sat in meditation, her legs crossed and her breathing extremely faint, just how she liked. She was truly at peace here…
Orcas: For millennia, my people and I have been tortured and harassed by Ragnarok and his burning legion of hellish, mindless soldiers…
Off the coast of New Zuko, water was beginning to churn strangely. The strange churning seemed to move steadily toward the Fire Nation's capital city.
Duunya: The earth above my kingdom CRIES with my anguish… The earth below the kingdom of Air HEAVES with the strength of my ire…
Meiya thought she felt a small rumbling sound rattle the Silent Stone for a moment. She opened one eye, looked around for a moment, shrugged, then closed it again.
Ragnarok: For far too long, Water, and its slut of a ruler, have openly defied me, drowning my territory as a show of 'strength'.
Khole flinched as something hot hit the back of her neck. She turned around, looking down to see a small red rock. Sh tried to pick it up, but flinched back when she felt it. It was still burning hot. She looked up at the sky, wondering if that was where the flaming stone came from.
Sykclon: We did NOTHING to provoke them… But now that they are provoked, we WILL defend ourselves…
As Ischi rubbed her swelled stomach lovingly, a rough breeze brushed her face. When the breeze subsided, Ischi looked out of the window and saw that it looked extremely stormy.
Orcas: No more… Now, the Plane of Fire shall be smothered by my torrential wrath.
Twi continued to laugh as she tossed firecrackers down to the street, but Su Li had looked up and stopped laughing. Her eyes went wide and she was speechless, for a gigantic wave had risen and was threatening to smash New Zuko into pieces.
Duunya: At long last, the sky shall fall! The foundations of their kingdoms will shatter! The whole of the Plane of Air will break!
Meiya's eyes snapped open. She, along with the Silent Stone and the entire Western Air Temple shook violently. Suddenly, giant cracks began to rip through the temple, utterly destroying the mountainous foundation underneath it. As a result, the Air Temple ripped itself in half, and one half began to plummet into the cloudy abyss, while the other ground itself down the face of the mountain roughly, its buildings and streets disintegrating on the way down.
Ragnarok: With my true power, even water will burn beneath my glower and melt beneath the shadow of my blade.
Khole gasped as a giant storm of flaming rocks, much larger than the one that struck her, began to pour out of the sky and decimate the icy city. The first rock to fall hit Khole's unfinished state and completely annihilated it.
Syklon: Earth stands against air. Those who stand against Air stand against me. And those who stand against me do not stand long.
A powerful wind whips through the room that Ischi sat in. She and her guards looked around, confused. Suddenly, the powerful winds ripped part of the wall out of the palace. Ischi gasped upon seeing the giant dusty tornado ripping buildings out of the ground and throwing them randomly around without care.
Ischi stood, and her guards tried to lead her to the door, but suddenly, the powerful winds tore the roof clear off of the palace. It only took a few moments for the winds to pick Ischi up and pull her, screaming, toward the powerful cyclone.
?: And now… After hundreds of thousands of years of imprisonment… My vengeance will finally see completion, and the Avatar Spirit will finally be vanquished… along with those miserable worlds…
AVATAR: VENGEANCE OF THE OLD ONE! COMING SOON TO A WEBSITE NEAR YOU…
?: If you thought Kumori was bad… You haven't seen anything yet…
Audience: -loud applause-
SH10: Thank you! Thank you! That was the trailer for my sequel to A:RotS. A:VotOO won't be coming quite as soon as all of you might have hoped, but fear not, for it WILL be here eventually! So tell your friends who like Avatar to check out my story and keep a lookout for it.
Now, for the reason of the slow arrival of the second half of the Spectacular: computer crash. Wiped my files. Bad stuff… Yeah…
TeaMeiya: Yeah…
SH10: But that's not a problem because, as you can see, I picked myself up and fought to redo the ENTIRE second half, because I know how important this was to TeamAvatar and the rest of my fans.
Now, since I promised TeamAvatar that I'd start with her questions, we'll start with her question to Meiya. Does it feel any different when you enter what TeamAvatar has coined 'KuMeiya Mode'?
Meiya: Sort of… It kinda feels like my mind is in someone else's body. Really strange feeling.
SH10: Nice. Next, for Kohi. We've all seen what you're like when you're serious, but TeamAvatar would like to know what you get like when you're angry.
Kohi: What's angry?
SH10: O_O
Meiya: You're not serious… are you?
Kohi: No, really, what's angry? Does it smell funny?
Ischi: Uh… Angry is when… Uhm… Well, you yell really loud, and… Um…
Kaizu: I've got nothing.
Kohi: -shrugs- I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
SH10: Um, okay… Next question, for Ischi. TeamAvatar wants to know how you learned to Metalbend.
Ischi: Pretty much the same way my great-granny Toph learned how to. I use Seismic Sense. It was tough, but once I got the hang of it, I was Metalbending like a pro. My great-granny would be proud!
SH10: I bet! Alright, next question is for Kaizu. TA points out that you seem to know about the colors of Firebender flames and the difference between them. Could you explain?
Kaizu: Of course. The power of the flames a Firebender can command is directly associated with the color spectrum. Regular red flames that Firebenders use are actually the weakest variety. Extreme training or bloodline advancement can increase the powers of flames and change their colors.
For example: Azula commanded blue flames in her youth. These flames were much more powerful than regular flames. Zuko, in his adult years, became powerful enough to wield the second-strongest flames known to man: violet flames.
Later on, Azula becomes the first wielder of the strongest flames imaginable: black flames. There may, however, be one color of flame-
Kumori: Nope! Black flames are the strongest! Nothing beats black flames!
SH10: Kumori, TA has a question for you, too. She asks why you're so certain you'll beat TeaMeiya.
Kumori: I have half-a-million loyal children at my command! They're indestructible! They're ruthless! They'll rip apart anything in their path! The Nithlings are WIN!
Kaizu: It occurs to me now that technically, since Nithlings are born from the power of an 'element', that is, something bendable, the Nithlings are basically elementals and, as such, can be banished to The Plane, on a massive scale, if need be.
Kumori: …
Meiya: Ouch.
Kohi: Is she okay? She looks like she's going to cry.
Kumori: -babbles incessantly and nonsensically-
Reigo: Great, you broke my mother. I hope you're happy, Kaizu.
Kaizu: Not really, but I'm not upset, either.
-Reigo takes the broken Kumori by the hand and leads her to the door-
Reigo: We'll be back in a couple of minutes. Carry on.
SH10: 0_O Um, okay… That's all of TA's questions, except one, which will be answered at the end. Let's move on to the others you guys have asked, starting with Avatard. He didn't have any direct questions, but he did give some insight into who might die in the Battle for the Future. But before we get to that, Ziro has something to say.
Ziro: Yes. I share Avatard's view on Kumori's epic-failness. She tied her own noose by having Reigo travel back in time in the first place.
Kumori: One dern second!
-the studio doors burst open and Kumori comes back in, Reigo not far behind.-
Kumori: This whole cluster%$# that I've found myself in is NOT my fault! It's REIGO'S!
Reigo: WHAT? How am I responsible?
Kumori: If I remember correctly, YOU screwed up on your collection mission! You know, the one where you had to 'obtain' Ischi's distress letter from Zuko, in Chapter 3, I believe. If you had succeeded, TeaMeiya never would've formed, and my dominion would've been sealed. YOU'RE responsible!
Reigo: Well, if you're so keen on thoroughness, why didn't your lazy butt go yourself? That's what happens when you have others do your work for you: mistakes.
Meiya: So your mistake is Kumori's fault?
Reigo: No, it's YOUR fault.
Meiya: Why me?
Reigo: YOU'RE my mother, too. It's your sloppiness that rubbed off on my and your laziness that 'forced' you to send me into the future 20 years later.
Ziro: She's not wrong.
Meiya: Okay, so my own imperfections are going to be the downfall of my greatest enemy.
Reigo: Exactly!
Kumori: You should be ashamed of yourself! Straighten yourself up, for goodness sakes! How am I going to rule the world if my past self is incompetent? …Wipe that smirk off your face! This is serious business! It's because of YOU that I'm going to- Oh… Wait…
Meiya: -smirk grows-
Kumori: …I'm done. I'm going to go look through my medicine cabinet…
-Kumori slumps off sadly-
SH10: Wow, that was sad… Someone should go make sure she's okay.
Reigo: I'll go.
-Reigo glares at Meiya as she follows Kumori out of the studio doors.-
SH10: Okay… It seems like the Spectacular is starting to wind down. We had a good run, but it's time for our last set of questions from EliteJedi. His first question for Ischi: Why are you so unlike Toph?
Ischi: I'm not sure. My great-granny was a tough and gritty person who was hard to please, and I'm a really nice, easy-going gal. Not sure how I broke the mold.
Ziro: I am, but I'll just keep that little secret to myself.
SH10: …Next question, to Kumori.
Meiya: She's not here.
SH10: I can see that. The question was, if TeaMeiya somehow found a way to defeat the Nithlings, how would she cope?
Ziro: I can answer that one, actually. You all may think that the Nithlings are Kumori's ace-in-the-hole, but she has more dangerous tricks up her own sleeves. Hehehe…
Meiya: I have a question for you, Ziro. Are you good or evil? Or bipolar?
Ziro: All of the above. I like to mix it up sometimes, to keep you on your toes.
SH10: Next question's for Zuko. After all the crazy stuff simmers down, will you and Ischi get married?
Zuko: Of course. She's the love of my life. Marrying her would be the finish line to this epic race I seem to be running all over the world with her, Meiya, Kohi, Khole, and Kaizu.
Ischi: Aww…
SH10: How sweet! Alright, guys, last questions for Ziro.
Ziro: Goody.
SH10: Suppose your Hand of the Sovereign ripped a hole in time, but couldn't stitch it back up again?
Ziro: That fabric would fall apart completely within a couple of millennia, but by that time, humans would die out and be replaced by… Ugh, it's too weird to even think about.
SH10: What is it? Whisper it in my ear
Ziro: *whisper, whisper*
SH10: O.o You're kidding, right?
Ziro: I wish I was… There are a couple of fabrics where humans thrive throughout all of existence, but… don't cross your fingers about this one being one of them.
Meiya: I won't even ask…
Kaizu: Me either…
SH10: Last direct question. EJ asks if Kaizu would make a good dad?
Ziro: Sure, he WOULD, but what matters is that he WASN'T a good father to me. Had I turned out right, I wouldn't even be here. I'd be a happy little child who didn't mess with time and wasn't a vigilante 'neutral'. So, congrats, dad. Your crappy parenting may have saved this world.
Kaizu: …Thanks?
SH10: Alright, that's all of the direct questions, now let's answer some indirect questions that were implied in-between this and the last Q&A.
First one, from organization me. He asks how Prince Zuko could still be alive 500 years later?
Zuko: I'm not the same Zuko from ATLA. I'm his great-grandson, named after him in honor of the renaming of the Fire Nation Capital from Fire Nation Capital to New Zuko. You know… 'cause I'm the… 'new' Zuko.
Meiya: *cough* cheesy *cough*
SH10: Next, aguywithnorealaccount asks if he could have a Fire Elemental as a pet?
Ziro: Trust me, you don't want one. Those things are IMPOSSIBLE to house-train…
SH10: Hehehe. Well, those seem to be the only two indirect questions, so now it's time for our final question from TA. If the main characters had theme songs, what would they be?
Meiya: Mine is Hard by Rihanna and Young Jeezy
Kohi: I thought your theme song was All of the- *bonk!* Ow!
Meiya: That's NOT my theme song. Yet, at least.
SH10: You all are free to guess what Kohi was about to say. Speaking of Kohi, what's YOUR theme song?
Kohi: Party Rock Anthem! By LMFAO ft. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock!
SH10: No surprise there. Ischi?
Ischi: My and Zuko share a theme song.
Zuko: Love Story by Taylor Swift
Meiya: *gag*
SH10: You don't like Taylor Swift, Meiya?
Meiya: No, T is awesome. it's just sickening how that song is PERFECT for them.
Ziro: Judging from what I heard in the cast trailer a couple of nights ago, I'd have assumed that their theme song would be Blow by Ke$ha.
Ischi: *gasp!* That's not true!
Ziro: Just a Little Faster by There For Tomorrow
Ischi: *blush* No, t-that's-
Ziro: Or, for Zuko, Peacock by Katy Perry.
Zuko: H-HEY!
Audience: Ooooooooooooh!
Meiya: Holy. Crap. That was the harshest thing I've heard on the set all story.
Ziro: I've got some more if you want them. Sleazy by Ke$ha. Dirty Picture by Ke$ha. My Humps by BEP. Just Can't Get Enough by BEP. I could go all day, if you'd excuse the pun.
SH10: _O No, no, that's quite enough.
Ziro: Hehe.
Ischi: You ARE evil!
Ziro: Right now, I am. I'll probably make it up to you later.
Kaizu: Back on topic? I'm not sure I have a theme song.
Kohi: I'd say that your theme song is Hero by Skillet.
Kaizu: Really? Why?
Meiya: Just listen to the lyrics. The first person I think about when I listen to Hero is you, Kaizu.
Kaizu: Hm, I'll have to listen to it.
SH10: Kumori's theme song is Run This Town by Jay-Z ft. Rihanna and Kanye West. It fits her like a glove, and Rihanna's voice is kind of the one I imagine Kumori would have. So, if the A:RotS series ever gets made into an actual show, or movie, look for Rihanna to voice Kumori. =)
Meiya: What about Reigo?
Ziro: Reigo's not a main character anymore. She doesn't get a theme song.
SH10: Whew! It looks like that's it! I changed my mind about giving you a sneak peek into M:TMN. It didn't seem to flow together. I'm going to have to work with it some more.
Thanks, you guys, you readers, and you delightful audience for joining me for the A:RotS 50th Chapter Spectacular! Have a safe drive home!
On behalf of TeamMeiya and the currently depressed Shadow Sovereign(ty), this is SH10, wishing you happy reading, and a happy school year! This is the last chapter before the new school year starts! WISH ME LUCK! XD
