Greetings, one and all, and welcome to the next chapter of Avatar Heroes. I hope your going to enjoy it as much as I had writing it and now on to the reviews.
mpowers045: Asami isn't angry with Jason. She is more scared that someone who has nothing but been a beacon of light and hope to her would go evil and that she would have to put him down.
Matthew Gemm: Thanks for the compliment. We will have to see where it goes. And at least her dad is still alive.
Guest: Well the Avatar series always had Anime influence in it. Well Jason just called Kuvira's super Colossus a Megazord because he thinks its funny (and because it made me think of the giant robots from Power Rangers (Where the word Megazord comes from)).
Though Power armor Asami Vs Power Armor Kuvira is more based by superhero comic's, something I am a huge fan of. And Jason also had those element wings when he had Ravaa's spirit inside of him, so some of his power might have rubbed off on her.
Yes, this story was always intended to be part of a large Verse, though I hadn't planned on how much characters from other stories would be featured into it. And yes, it goes like I wanted it.
And now story time.
Skywalker, dressed in his formal suit, walked to a stage in front of City Hall, overlooking the plaza where a large crowd had gathered, his allies and friends sitting in the front row.
"Kuvira and her army has been defeated, and her armies are on their way home, the war with the Earth Empire has ended. Those guilty will be given a fair trial, as we rebuilt. My army will stay here for the time being, to help keep order as we rebuilt Republic City and Zaofu.", Skywalker said before taking a slight pause, noticing the worried looks some people were giving each other over this news.
"This is not a invasion, we are here to help. After we are done with restoring this great city, we will leave for our own World. But if Republic City is willing, by admission of her own people, she is allowed to become part of something greater. To become part of an Alliance that spans between Worlds.", Skywalker reassured them, "And if the people decided that they don't want me in this World any longer, than so be it.", he then gestured to the nearby train station, "The alliance has created a portal between this World and ours, allowing free passage by train between them and to other Worlds. Things will never be the same again, we are entering a New Age."
And with that he left the stage, some people looked relieved at his statement, others looked worried, but one in particular, Asami Sato was looking troubled, remembering the warning she had received from the future.
A little while later, Skywalker exited an elevator before walking down a long hallway. Two guards nodded, each placing a key inside of the door before it slid open, revealing Kuvira dressed in a gray jumpsuit, sitting on a plastic chair inside a large bubble. A plastic bridge connected to the prison before the doors opened allowing Skywalker passage into the prison. As the doors closed, Kuvira looked up. "Why would you spare my life, after everything I have done?", she asked, as he took a seat on the other side of the desk.
"Maybe because I believe in second chances, or maybe its because of our former friendship. We are not so different, Kuvira.", Skwalker said placing both his on the table.
"We are nothing alike!", Kuvira said gradually becoming angry, "This wasn't how I wanted things to end. If you would have all just surrendered, none of this would have happened."
"You brought this on yourself. Messing with the spirit vines, acting like a dictator over your people.", Skywalker said calmly and patiently, "You had to know what you were doing wasn't right."
"I was trying to help my people.", Kuvira said angrily, glaring at her former friend, "Su turned her back on the Earth Kingdom, Korra was out of commission, you were gone! I had to do something."
Skywalker gave a nod before saying softly, "I think I get it now."
"You don't understand anything about me, Skywalker. Don't pretend you know what it felt like! I was cast aside by my own parents like I meant nothing to them.", Kuvira shouted angrily, "How could I just stand by and watch the same thing happen to my nation, when it needed someone to guide it?", it was then that the dams broke, and the Great Uniter began to cry.
"You wanted to create a place where you and your people would never be vulnerable again.", Skywalker said softly, as Kuvira raises her head to look at him, "I understand what it feels like to be afraid. I know the fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness... The need to be in control."
The look on Kuvira's face softens, "... But this isn't the reason your visiting me, is it?", she asked straightening up, "Your here because you want to know about how I acquired the only thing that can kill a Dovah like you right? The hard Mundus Light, correct?"
Skywalker didn't say anything but she knew the truth, "I got it from some girl named Morgenstern. She claimed to have a score to settle with you."
At this information, Skywalker turned serious, "A girl named Morgenstern... What did she look like.", he asked, but Kuvira told him she never saw her face, Morgenstern had kept her hood on the entire time, "I see... Be careful of him. He is the only thing more powerful than me."
As he stood up to leave, something Kuvira said made him stop in his tracks, "Your friend Asami Sato also asked about my stash of hard Mundus Light. She now has the entire stash to fight for an enemy similar to you."
A few days later, Air Temple Island courtyard at the wedding of Varrick and Zhu Li, where Bolin is marrying the couple. "And though the battle took a severe toll on our beloved city, out of the destruction, love did bloom! So that is why, dearest friends and family, we gather today to celebrate the wondrous, and at time inexplicable bond between Sir Varrick and the Lady Zhu Li!"
The groom looks over to cameraman, who is filming the crowd, "Hey, pal, camera on me! This is my big day!", Varrick said in a loud whisper, the camera is swiveled around and Varrick nods to Bolin to continue.
"True love is a fickle creature. Difficult to find, nearly impossible to tame.", Bolin continued, at those words, Skywalker looks to his side to Korra, who looked at him as well, before both turned their attention back to Bolin, "But Varrick and Zhu Li have proven that even the longest of long shots can have a chance at happiness together. Now, for the vows!"
Pabu climbs on top of Bolin's shoulder with a small scroll around his neck, "Thank you, Master Pabu. Do you, Sir Iknik Blackstone Varrick of the Southern Water Tribe, Master of the High Seas, take the Lady Zhu Li Moon to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you promise to treat her not as your assistant, but as your honored and cherished partner?"
"You're darn tootin' I do!", Varrick said with a big smile of his own.
"And do you, Zhu Li, take Varrick, to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to care for him, in sickness and in health.", Bolin continued, looks down to note and gets a confused expression on his face, "And also scrub his callouses on a bi-weekly basis, which... isn't really that much to ask... Okay, I'm not reading all this.", he said to Varrick and crumples the paper.
Zhu Li stares lovingly at her groom, "I do take Varrick. Callouses and all."
"You may now do the thing.", Bolin said as Varrick and Zhu Li lean in close together, a he steps back. Varrick and Zhu Li kiss, while the crowd applauds. When they part Varrick begins to cry.
"Are you all right?", Zhu Li asked worriedly.
He wipes his tears away, "You just make me so dang happy!", he said and pulls a remote from his pocket. Pressing the button, a bunch of fireworks is set off, which is shown in a far of the .
Later that night, when the people have shifted from in front of the makeshift altar to a dance floor with tables in front of it. Tahno, Lu, Gang, the council page, and the White Falls Wolfbats provide the music. Varrick is dancing with Zhu Li, while Ikki is dancing with a reluctant Huan next to a dancing Sutakira and Ruby. Opal drags Bolin from his conversation with Phoenix onto the dance floor as well.
"You have done good, Skywalker.", Lin said as she walked over to a worried looking Skywalker, who had been standing at the side, while they watched Pema chases Rohan, who was running after McGrath, trying to catch his tail while Griffifth laughed at the scene.
"Thanks Chief.", he responded as he crossed his arms.
"I noticed something. You have never called me by my first name.", Lin said with a slight scowl as he leaned back against a wall.
"Neither have you.", Skywalker pointed out with a smile and for the first time since he knew her, Lin actually broke out in laughter.
"And I never will.", Lin said before taking her leave.
He then walked over to Mako and prince Wu at the same time as Korra did. "Good to see you, Prince Wu. Or should I say, King Wu?", Korra said, "You ready to get back to Ba Sing Se and finally take the throne?"
"Yeah, about that.", Wu said rubbing the back of his head, "...I was actually thinking of stepping down as king and getting rid of the monarchy all together.", he gets bewildered looks from Skywalker, Korra and Mako.
"Are... you joking?", Mako asked surprised.
"For once, I'm not.", Wu said shaking her head, "Now I know what you're gonna say, I'm being lazy, I'm afraid of responsibility, I'm putting my singing career before my people, but it's none of those things. I really think the Earth Kingdom would be better off if the states were independent and had elected leaders, like the United Republic."
"Yes, because we have done great since Raiko got elected.", Skywalker thought but he had to agree with Korra and Mako that it was an actual good idea.
"I think it's a great idea. The Earth Kingdom should evolve, and I'll do everything in my power to help you make that happen.", Korra said.
Wu makes a saluting gesture to Korra. "Looking forward to working with you. But for now, the dance floor calls.", he then turned to Skywalker and Korra, "You two play nice now. And let me know when you two are going to get married, because if some of his soldiers are anything to go by, I am looking forward to meeting some more ladies from Jason's World.", leaving the two blushing friends behind he scoots off to the dance floor.
"Been one hell of a ride, right?", Korra said to her two friends.
"It has...", Mako agreed.
"Thank you for everything, Mako.", Skywalker said.
"There's no need, that's what friends are for right?", Mako said with a smile of his own, giving Skywalker a playful punch to the shoulder, "I want you to know, I'll follow you into battle, no matter how crazy things get. I've got your back... and I always will." he then left to go look after Wu, who had started to dance wildly.
As the two friends looked on to the party, Tenzin came walking up towards them. "I spoke to President Raiko. Tomorrow, he's announcing a plan to expand the city, after rebuilding downtown with the help of the Alliance, while Senator Oaktan continues to the trials against the Earth Empire.", the airbending master said, "You two have transformed this World more in a few years than most Avatars did during their lifetimes."
"But I feel like I've only just begun.", Korra said, "There's so much more I want to learn and do. I know I was in a pretty dark place after I was poisoned. But I finally understand why I had to go through all that. I needed to understand what true suffering was so I could be more compassionate to others, even to people like Kuvira."
Tenzin puts a reassuring hand on Korra's shoulder, "You don't know how happy I am to hear you so full of hope again.", Tenzin said with a smile, "You both have grown so much over these past few years."
"I have? Are you saying I'm getting fat? I did gain some weight from eating all that strawberry cheesecake ice cream... Is it my ass?", Skywalker said dryly making the other two laugh.
"Jason... Don't you ever lose that comedic side of yourself.", Tenzin said with a proud smile as he left to find his family, leaving Skywalker and Korra alone.
A silence followed as the two looked at each other, neither sure what to say. After a while Korra finally spoke up, "So... what Wu said... Would you like... I mean not now of course, but maybe in the nearby...", but she became to embarrassed to continue, quickly changing the subject, "A-Anyways, thank you Jason for everything. I couldn't have done it without you. If it wasn't for you, I would still be stuck at the South Pole."
"No, you would have left one way or another. And of course you could, just not as stylish.", Skywalker said with a soft smile on his own.
"You call destroying entire city blocks of Republic City multiple times, stylish?", she asked teasingly.
"Your to blame for a quarter of that. And the other quarter belongs to Asami now with her power suits.", he laughed and she agreed, "We have had one hell of a ride, didn't we?We might not see each other for a while."
"Doesn't matter. No matter how far were apart, our hearts are always connected.", she said and he nodded at this, telling her she became wise, "Well I had a pretty good teacher."
"Yeah, Tenzin is pretty good...", he admitted, making her laugh again. She told him she was talking about him, "What do you mean good? I'm a great teacher." he added sounding slightly insulted.
"The best.", Korra said with laugh, "Come on, I want to show you something." grabs his arms and drags Skywalker to the dance floor.
Skywalker sees where she is dragging him, and begins to struggle against her grip, "Oh, no, No-no-no-no... No!"
But before could break free, she had place one of his hands in her own while placing the other around her waist. Skywalker soon began to disregard the people that were watching him, and dance with her as if the entire room was empty save for the two of them. Her body pressing against his, holding her right arm up while his left hand rest against the beautiful girl's waist. "Hah! Knight on deck!", Bolin cheered as he danced with Opal.
"Has he always been like this?", Opal asked quite amused by Skywalker's dancing antic's.
"Jason saves the Worlds on a regular basis. You have to forgive a few... eccentricities.", Griffifth said as the rest of the friends stopped dancing to look at how Skywalker actually managed to dance decently for once, "You'll learn to love it."
"It's... very enthusiastic.", Opal said with a smile.
"Good thing somethings never change.", McGrath said, "We should record this and broadcast if for the next big bad. They will either run away or fall in love."
"Well, I like it. Its good to see you cut loose now and then.", Jinora said as she danced with Kai.
"Thank you all for your loyalty and support.", Skywalker said with a smile of his own.
Later, Skywalker and Korra are sitting on the nearby steps to the Air Temple, getting a little fresh air and calming down from the party as she looked at the ruined city. "I don't think I ever said sorry to you. For being gone all that time."
"I'm just so happy you're here now.", Korra said, hugging his arm.
"Have you seen Asami yet?", Skywalker asked.
"I think she is still at her office. She has been working non-stop since we defeated Kuvira and her army.", Korra said, she noticed that his expression darkened, but he told her it was nothing, "So, what now? Back to the dance floor?"
"Hell no. After everything that's happened the past few months, I could use a vacation.", he said and at this Korra lightens up and smiles.
"Let's do it! Let's go on a vacation, just you, me and Asami. IF she can find the time.", Korra said, much to his surprise.
"Really? Okay... Than where should we go?", he asked.
"I've always wanted to see more of your World. Know any good beaches?", She asked and he gave a nod, "I will see you in a few hours, I am going to ask Asami if she can make some time."
Skywalker chuckled, "I think our own Tony Stark can do it.", he said as they stood up, Korra left to go find Asami as he went back to the party.
Meanwhile in a secret compoud somewhere inside Republic City, a large van parked inside as people dressed similarly to the Equelist foot soldiers, are moving crates. The back of the van opened as a young man stepped out. He had black spiky hair and dark purple eyes. He was dressed in white dress shirt under a moderately dark blue long coat. A black tie was neatly hanging from his neck, a similar black colored dress pants were hugging his lower body and on his feet were brown dress shoes.
"Oh, look. She sent the kid again. This is turning out just like the divorce.", a man dressed mostly in black robes with red lining, a hood covering his head while a white mask hid his face.
"Spare me the thought of you procreating.", the young man said, shivering in disgust.
"That was a joke.", the masked man said dryly, "You should have arrived with our package a half hour ago. Where have you been?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?", the young man said, leaning against one of the crates, "Cleaning up your problems. One of them, at least."
"Listen, you little punk. If it were up to me, then I would...", the masked man said until a female voice above them interrupted him.
"And do what, Amon?", looking up, they saw Morgenstern in her usual garb appear on a platform above them. She steps onto an automated lift, riding it down to their level.
"I would... not kill him?", the man now named Amon said.
"I thought I made it clear that you would eliminate the would-be spy.", Morgenstern asked, but before Amon could say anything, the young man spoke up.
"He was going to escape to the North Poll! I decided to take it upon myself to kill the rat, my lord.", the fine dressed young man said.
But he was shut up when he saw his master's eyes glowing up from under the hood, "Silence.", Morgenstern ordered, turning to him, "Byron did I not specifically instruct you to keep your hands clean while your in Republic City?"
"I just thought...", the young man now named Byron said, looking over he saw Amon uses his fingers to mime having a slit throat.
"Don't think. obey.", Morgenstern told him, with Byron assuring it won't happen again, before turning to Amon, "And you. Why wasn't this job done sooner?"
"Sorry if I have been a little busy manipulating the government of Republic City for the last three years.", Amon said, placing both hands behind his back, "I've got this town's government in my pocket, so by extension you have this city in your pocket. Speaking of which, if you wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand plan with Skywalker."
"Oh Noatak. Have a little faith.", Morgenstern said, placing a hand on his mask, "You will know what you need when you need to know it."
Amon seems entranced, but then looks away with a grunt, "You knew him even before he became the Knight Of The Wind. It would be nice to know what he actually is."
"Then you will need to hear the whole story...", Morgenstern said, the eyes glowing once again.
