Welcome back ladies and gentlemen.
Crystalheartlover17: Well here it is. The chapter you've been waiting for, it's kinda easy to see you're a fan of Wan.
I don't own anything aside from my OC's and some other stuff I might add.
Now let's begin.
Kanan shot up beads of sweat running down his face. He looked around, where was he.
"Ah, you're awake." Kanan turned to the voice of a man.
"Who are you? And where am I? Where's Korra!?" Kanan asked.
"Why are the Bhanti Tribe, you are in our home and the Avatar is safe, but she's been corrupted by a dark spirit." The male Fire sage said.
"Corrupted!" Kanan stood up. "What about me? The spirit skewered me on it's tendrils."
"We'll show you everything, come with me." The Fire sage motioned Kanan to follow.
He lead him to a pond of spirit water. Korra was laying in it.
"The spirit water is cleansing her. She will be alright." The Fire sage said.
"And what about me." Kanan questioned.
"I don't know how to explain this." Kanan turned to another voice, he saw an old man, probably the Elder.
He showed Kanan a spirit pond, but the water was pitch black.
"We layed you in it, but the water instantly turned to this ugly color. Out of fear we took you out. The darkness inside of you cannot be cleansed." The elder spoke.
Kanan took a look at the water he saw himself in it, but he was covered head to toe in blood. Suddenly the blood covered Kanan shot out and dragged the real Kanan inside. The Tribesmen stepped back in fear.
"What? What is this?" One of the Tribesmen asked.
"It seems his darkness is challenging him. Time will tell." The Elder spoke.
Kanan's Dreamscape
Kanan swum up from the water, appearing in a forest with blood red cherry blossoms.
"Beautiful isn't it." Kanan turned to see himself, but he was covered in darkness.
"Why do you think I dragged you here?" Dark Kanan asked.
"Whatever the reason is, get me out." Kanan snarled.
"You're not going anywhere. I brought you here because you're falling to far into the darkness. You have to remember what you're actually fighting for." Dark Kanan spoke.
"I fight to protect my family and friends." Kanan said.
"That's one of the reasons, but you need to remember the other one. And how else to kick-start your memory, than a good fight." Dark Kanan said materializing the Masamune just as Kanan did the same, both lunging at each other.
Korra's Dreamscape
Korra finds herself in what looks like a dreamworld surrounded by a purple light and she finds her own image which is covered by a blue light.
"Who are you?" Korra asked.
"I am you." Korra's image said.
"Who am I?" Korra asked and her image turns into Aang.
"You are the Avatar." Aang said.
"I don't know what that is." Korra said and Aang turns into Roku.
"In order to remember, you must regain your connection with your Avatar spirit." Roku said and changes to Kyoshi.
"If you don't, the darkness will engulf the world. You will die and our era will end." Kyoshi said.
"How do I regain my connection?" Korra asked and Kyoshi changes into Kuruk.
"Go back. Return to the beginning. Find Raava." Kuruk said.
Korra is pushed away by a strong current of water and later she finds a figure in a circle of light and it's a young man with spiky hair.
"Are you Raava?" Korra asked.
"No, but I can help you find her. My name is Wan. I will show you how I became the first Avatar." Wan said.
In a street of a city the young man Wan is running with a smirk and is carrying a bag in his hand and he's running away from three brothers in robes and are carrying guan daos who are chasing him.
"Nobody steals from the Chou brothers!" One of the brothers yelled.
"Really? Because I just did!" Wan said.
"You're DEAD, Wan!" The big Chou yelled.
"Actually, I feel quite alive." Wan said as he salutes the brothers and falls backwards off a railing.
The Chou brothers run to the railing and Wan drops from above face first and grabs hold of a clothesline which breaks his fall and swings him back up and then he hides in an alcove as the Chous come crashing down screaming and tearing all the clotheslines down with them and they land hard on the ground while a sheet is floating down on them.
Wan lands on them to cushion his fall and runs off again and then runs over a bridge while scaring a flock of birds in the process to take flight and the Chous run after him on the bridge.
"Hey, stop!" The little Chou yelled but the birds drop droppings on them to make them slide to a halt and they stare in anger.
Wan is dropping down from a roof and he jumps toward a wooden bar around which he turns and somersaults off onto the next roof and runs it down while jumping on a lower located roof on which he tumbles and jumps again to the next roof but starts to slow down and walk and later goes for a balcony as Wan slides down the roof tiles of a last house and lands on the balcony and later is on ground level and stats rummaging through the bag and is ready to eat and takes out a roll but just as he's about to eat the big Chou lands in front and the other two Chous join him.
"He-he-hey, fellas! You're just in time for lunch!" Wan said throwing the roll at the big Chou's face and it leaves a red mark.
Wan tries to jump over but the middle Chou trips him making him fall.
"I told you no one steals from us." The little Chou said as the big Chou grabs him by the collar with one hand glaring at him.
Wan chuckles and the big Chou throws him away as he screams and he lands on a tree and then lands in mud next to a moo-sow and Wan wipes the mud off him as the moo-sow sniffs him.
Later at a tree house visible to tree branches of a forest wan arrives at the tree house where there is another young man sitting on the ground and Wan climbs through the door and enters it as he is digging through his shirt to take out some food.
"Did you steal from the Chous again, Wan?" The young man asked.
"Yeah, I got nothing to show for it except for a few dirty rolls and a whole lot of bruises." Wan said handing the young man named Jaya a roll. "Hey, Yao. I got some food for you." Wan said handing a roll to a darkened room and a branch like hand grabs the roll revealing to be a disfigured old man who appears partly quasi-treelike and he starts eating the roll.
"Hmm! Delicious! Thank you, Wan." Yao said.
Just then a skunk-squirrel, a peacock-pigeon, and a woodpecker-lizard enter the house in front of Wan and they look at him and his food.
"You guys are hungry too, huh?" Wan said as he tears up the roll into small pieces and fees them to the animals who start eating.
"Wan, you should eat." Jaya said.
"They need it more than I do. Besides, I'm tired of eating scraps. If only there was some way to get into the Chous' food cellar. We'd be eating like, well, like Chous." Wan said.
"If Chou the Elder catches you sneaking into his palace, you'll end up dead. Or worse, he'll banish you to the Spirit Wilds." Jaya said.
"No! Don't get banished! You don't want nothing to do with those spirits. They'll get inside ya, scramble up your mind, turn you into this, a monster!" Yao said turning away forlorn.
"Don't do anything crazy, Wan. You just gotta accept the world is the way it is. Some people have power and some don't. You don't." Jaya said.
"Not yet, anyway." Wan said smirking.
At the city square there are two huntsmen making announcements.
"Are you strong? Are you fearless? Do you have what it takes to battle the spirits? Then join the hunt." One of the huntsmen said.
"Count me in!" A voice said they see Wan raising his hand but the first huntsman laughs.
"We're going to be out in the wilds for a week. You wouldn't last two seconds." The first huntsman said.
"I can handle myself." Wan said smugly. "We all get fire, right?" Wan asked.
"Yeah, but do you know how to use it?" The first huntsman asked.
"Well, not exactly, but…" Wan was cut off.
"Ah, let him come. Not like we got any volunteers lining up." The second huntsman said placing his hand around Wan's shoulder.
"Alright. Welcome to the hunt." The first huntsman said.
Later outside the city the hunting party is walking to a cliff and stop and the first huntsman blows on his horn and something rises and it's what looks like a lion-turtle.
"The lion-turtle." Wan said in awe.
"Great guardian of our city, we are venturing into the Spirit Wilds to bring back food for our people. Please, grant us the power of fire." The first huntsman said.
"The power is yours to keep until you return."The lion-turtle said raising its claw.
"You're first, kid." The first huntsman said and Wan walks to the lion-turtle.
"May the element protect you against the spirits."The lion-turtle said placing his claw on Wan and he now has the power of fire.
Wan delivers a punch in the air and creates a blast of fire which sends him back.
"Just make sure you aim at the spirits, not us. Okay?" The huntsman leader said walking forward.
"Sure thing." Wan said.
Later after the lion-turtle grants every hunter the power of fire they arrive at the Spirit Wilds and begin going through the forest.
"Everyone, stay close. Spirits love to pick off stragglers." The huntsman leader said.
"Uh, guys? I don't think I can do this." Wan said trembling.
"Now, quit your whining. We haven't even seen a spirit yet." The huntsman leader said.
"I think I wanna go home." Wan said whining.
"I knew you were nothing but a sniveling coward! Go give your fire back to the lion-turtle and don't ever show your face around me again." The huntsman leader said shoving Wan back and continues to move on.
As Wan turns around he smirks and turns to them and he leaves the forest.
Wan returns to the tree house and he finds Jaya and Yao playing Pai Sho.
"Wan, you're back." Jaya said.
"What goodies did you snatch for us this time?" Yao asked rubbing his stomach.
Wan opens his palm and unleashes flames in his palm shocking the two and Wan closes his palm getting rid of the flame.
"What did you do? You can't steal from the lion-turtle." Jaya said.
"Really? Because I just did." Wan said smugly.
It's later nighttime and Wan leads a group to the Chous' estate and Jaya is among the group.
"You know it's forbidden to bring the power of the element into the city. Please, go back to the lion-turtle and return the fire." Jaya said.
"Jaya, it's time to stop being so afraid of the Chous and show them we have the power to change things." Wan said as he puts on his mask from his bag.
The group put on their masks which are the same except for Jaya's and they arrive at the Chou palace gates.
"Hey, Chous! Open the gate and let us in!" Wan yelled through his mask.
"At the balcony of the palace Chou the Elder walks to the railing and his three sons join him and he looks down.
"What are those filthy peasants doing here?" Chou the Elder asked.
"Don't worry, Father. We'll take care of them?" The big Chou said as they leave while their father looks down.
The Chou brothers emerge from the gate and confront the group.
"Hand over all the food you're hoarding and we won't give you any trouble." Wan said through his mask but the Chous laugh.
"You're not getting past us! We have weapons. You're powerless." The big Chou said.
"Powerless, huh?" Wan asked smugly.
The brothers charge at the group but Wan unleashes blasts of fire at the three making them jump out of the way to either side of the fire blast which destroys the palace gates making it open.
"Follow me!" Wan ordered as the group through the gates and reach the courtyard.
Wan surges and breaks down the door to the food cellar with his fire and the group begin to run to the now opened building.
"Grab as much food as you can." Wan said pointing at the door and the group start going for the shed to grab food.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe we do have the power to change things." Jaya said as many people are stealing food.
"Stop right there!" A voice yelled and they turn to see the Chou brothers with ten armed guards.
"Looks like the Chous have found some backup." Jaya said.
"Get everyone out of here. I'll hold them off." Wan said and Jaya joins the group.
Wan confronts the guards and scatters them with a powerful fire blast and then throws another blast to keep the guards at bay but a guard comes at Wan with a spear aimed at his chest but Wan grabs the spear and uses it to turn and swing the guard against the big Chou who is standing behind but uses his own momentum to keep on turned and hurl the weapon away and as Wan's back is turned the little Chou uses his opportunity to jump onto Wan and clasps him tight and Wan tries to get him off and then unleashes a fire circle to keep four people at bay and manages to throw the little Chou off him but the little Chou has Wan's mask as he touches the ground.
"No, have mercy please!" The little Chou begged but he looks up and sees Wan with a fire in his palm ready to attack. "Wan?" The little Chou asked but Wan hesitates and snuffs out his flame allowing the guards to tackle him and Wan is now tied up and pulled to his feet. "Even when you have power, you're afraid to use it." The little Chou said smugly.
Later outside the city at the same cliff where the lion-turtle is Wan is with the Chous and the guards.
"Tell me who else was involved in the rebellion and I might take mercy on you." Chou the Elder said.
"I'm not telling you anything!" Wan said.
"Then you left me with no choice. Wan, you are hereby banished." Chou the Elder said.
"Yeah and give back that fire you stole!" The little Chou yelled as the soldiers push him to the lion-turtle.
"Wait! Great lion-turtle, I am sorry for stealing the fire from you and I accept my punishment, but please, I need to be able to protect myself in the wilds." Wan said.
"Never again may you return to this city, but I will allow you to keep the power of the element." The lion-turtle said.
Wan is shoved out of the city and he takes one more look at it before leaving for the Spirit Wilds as the sun sets and Jaya and Yao watch him leave.
"Bet he doesn't last till morning." Yao said.
Later Wan is exploring the forest of the wilds and he hikes around while hurling fire at any spirit coming his way and he backs away and hears a voice.
"Hey! Watch where you're stepping, human!" The voice yelled.
"Who said that?" Wan asked.
"Down here!" The voice said and Wan looks down to see a frog spirit coming out of Wan's foot. "How'd you like it if I started walking all over you?" The frog spirit asked.
"Oh, you're just a little frog." Wan said but the frog spirit grows into a big size.
"Who's little now?" The frog spirit asked in a deep voice as he tries to stomp on Wan who dodges but the frog spirit uses his tongue to attack but Wan is gone.
Wan looks back but then he runs into a Venus flytrap which eats him but he uses fire to make its mouth open and continues to run and he runs into two treetops and three green tadpole like spirits fly past him and a tiny green spirit that looks like a puffball with bird legs and a beak jumping around and Wan later lies on the ground but he starts sinking into the grass as vines start tangling him but he uses fire to escape from the grass.
Later it's daytime and Wan is sleep-depraved and weary with dark circles under his eyes and is dirty and he looks left and right for any danger but then his stomach growls and makes his way over to a tree that has fruit and tries to eat it but it reveals to be a hornet's nest and the hornets start buzzing around Wan who screams.
"Get off me! Get off me!" Wan yelled running frantically from the hornets.
Wan continues to run and falls off a cliff and tumbles down while outcropping and falls further down until he slides to a halt groaning but then he looks up to see an oasis with fruit trees and walks for it but as he reaches for the bridge a spirit who appears to be an aye-aye appears before him and shoves Wan back.
"You are not welcome in my oasis, human." The aye-aye spirit said.
"Please help me. I'm starving and I haven't slept all night." Wan said.
"Not my problem." Aye-Aye said.
"Let me pass!" Wan yelled as he throws a fire blast at the spirit who appears shocked but is angry.
"You DARE use fire against me?" Aye-Aye asked as he disappears and reappears behind Wan making a mocking face and grabs him. "Now begone with you!" Aye-Aye yelled throwing Wan into a bush and walks away while looking annoyed and uninterested.
Wan comes out of the bush and sighs in defeat and walks away but then he finds a parade of spirits walking for the oasis but Wan hides in the bush but the spirits are relaxing and having fun in the oasis giving Wan an idea.
As many spirits are going for the oasis a bush goes for the bridge.
"And who might you be?" Aye-Aye asked.
"I am Bushy! The Bush Spirit and I would like to enter your oasis." 'Bushy' said in a dramatic tone.
"Very well. You may pass." Aye-Aye said and 'Bushy' goes for the oasis but Aye-Aye sniffs. "Wait a second! Something stinks!" Aye-Aye said removing the bush mask revealing to be Wan. "I knew I smelled a human!" Aye-Aye yelled and Wan chuckles as his face turns blue and sweats but Aye-Aye throws him into the water.
"C'mon, let me in, just for a little while." Wan said.
"No! Go back to your lion-turtle!" Aye-Aye said.
"Believe me. I'd love to go back home, but I can't. I was kicked out." Wan said.
"That's too bad." One of the spirits said.
"Poor human." Another spirit said sadly.
"Don't pity him. He's just like any other human; ugly, destructive, and lacking any respect for nature." Aye-Aye said.
"Not all humans are bad, what about her." One spirit stated.
"Just because she's the one opposite, doesn't mean other humans are." Aye-Aye stated.
"Who're you calling 'ugly', Ugly?" Wan asked annoyed making the spirit shocked but frowns annoyed.
"If you can't go back to your city, then you should go live in another one." The friendly spirit who is green with four arms and having a white mask like face suggested.
"What? There are other lion-turtles?" Wan asked shocked.
"'There are other lion-turtles?' Of course there are! Dozens of them! Boy, you humans are stupid too!" Aye-Aye yelled.
"So which way to the nearest lion-turtle?" Wan asked.
"Hmm, I think it's on the other side of…None-of-your-business Valley!" Aye-Aye said and laughs while looking at the other spirits who don't laugh at his joke and Wan is annoyed.
"Real funny. I don't want your help. I'll find it myself." Wan said as he starts to leave but then he falls into the water.
"Good luck!" The green spirit said waving goodbye.
Wan is walking through the forest but then he runs into a cat-deer who is caught in a net and Wan lights his hands with flames wanting to cook it but the cat-deer gives a sad look making Wan stop and pity it.
"It's okay. I'm gonna get you out of there." Wan said as he climbs up the tree to try and down the net holding the cat-deer but then he hears something and he sees the four same hunters he temporarily joined.
"Finally, we caught something. Get it down." The huntsman leader said as the hunters go for the net.
"Back off!" A voice yelled and they see Wan coming out from behind the tree trunk and onto the branch.
"Wan? What are you doing here?" The huntsman leader asked.
"I'm saving this animal." Wan said.
"That animal's our dinner. Now, get out of the way." The huntsman leader said.
"No!" Wan yelled as he jumps off the tree and unleashes fire at the hunters who start chasing after him.
Wan is running from the hunters and uses the sinking grass on one of the hunters who start sinking.
"Help! Help!" One of the hunters cried as he's sinking into the grass.
Wan takes two hornet nests and throws them at the hunters who are swarmed by hornets.
"Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me!" The other hunter cried as the hornets are taking him.
Wan runs through the forest while evading many fire blasts from the two remaining hunters but then a fire blast hits him sending him in the air and he hits a tree branch and he's knocked to the floor.
"Looks like you're out of tricks, Wan." The huntsman leader said approaching him.
Just then a scythe stabs into the ground. A woman lands, one of the most beautiful Wan's ever seen, she's around his age. Beautiful knee long dark-brown hair with snow white strands all over it. A blue sleeveless shirt with a thick white fur collar. Blue pants, with black sandals. With caramel like skin.
"What do we have here. More suicidal idiots. I haven't had a good fight in years, hope you guys are at least a challenge." The woman mockingly states.
"Who do you think you are!" The huntsman leader roars launching a blast of fire at her. The woman pulls out a large fan and blocks the fire with it she reflects the attack and blasts the huntsman away with a huge blast of wind.
"Wait. Scythe and a large fan. The Hitokiri! RUN!" The other huntsman yells as all the attackers run away.
"No challenge like always." The woman states turning to Wan. "You okay?" She asks.
Wan, who is shocked of her beauty, is unable to answer. "Hey!" The woman snaps her fingers in his face.
"What?" Wan asks, having came back to reality.
"Are you okay?" The woman asks him again.
"Yeah, just a bit sore." Wan answer hiding a blush. The woman guides him to an oasis.
At the oasis Aye-Aye places Wan into the water and he's healed.
"I feel great. What's in this water?" Wan asked.
"It has special healing properties." Aye-Aye said and one of the spirits gives Wan a fruit.
"Thanks. So, who was that girl that saved me? Wan asked.
"It's Kaminari." Wan turns as the girl walks to him.
"Thanks for saving my neck, but why'd you do it?" Wan asked.
"I saw you save that cat-deer from those hunters. I've never seen such an act of selflessness from another human before." Kaminari said as she leaves.
"Told you I wasn't like the others." Wan said petting the cat-deer.
"Guess I underestimated you, human." Aye-Aye said.
"Are you off to another lion-turtle city?" The green spirit asked.
"I was, but I think I've had enough of humans for a while. I've decided to stay here and learn the ways of the spirits." Wan said.
"What a great idea." The first friendly spirit said smiling.
"It'll be fun." The green spirit said.
"Oh, now, now. A human living with spirits? Well its been done before." Aye-Aye said.
"Who's the other one?" Wan asked.
"Hmm, I guess we can try it. I've never had a human as a pet before. I think I'll call you 'Stinky'." Aye-Aye said.
"It's Wan." Wan said bluntly.
"Stinky is more accurate." Aye-Aye said.
At the lion-turtle fire city square the huntsman returns alone.
"What happened?" One of the citizens asked.
"Where are the others?" The second citizen asked.
"Gone. Spirits took them. They were protecting that kid, Wan, like he was one of their kind." The huntsman leader said and among the crowd are Jaya and Yao. "The Hitokiri was also there." He finishes as the crowd gasps.
"Did you hear that? Wan's alive!" Jaya cheered.
At the Spirit Wilds at the oasis a white dragon flies in a figure eight motion and then goes downward and Wan is using his fire while using the Dancing Dragon technique and moving forward while the spirits are watching and when Wan is done they applaud him.
Wan becomes older with his hair hanging and scruffy and having a goatee. Later Wan is confronted by hunters who unleash fire but Wan redirects the fire and sends it back at the hunters making them run away and the spirits gather and cheer at him as he's drinking tea for victory.
"And the way Wan moves fire, it's like nothing I've ever seen. He uses it like it's an extension of his body." The huntsman leader said while Wan keeps training and fighting hunters off.
Outside the city an older Jaya is leading a group of townspeople.
"Wan has proved that with the power of fire, anyone can survive in the wilds! We don't have to live under Chou the Elder's rules anymore! I say we leave this city and start over! Who's with me?" Jaya asked raising his fist and the crowd cheers as the lion-turtle grants them fire and they go for the Spirit Wilds with flames in their hands.
At the oasis Wan mounts on his cat-deer named Mula with a travel pack and saddle.
"Ready to go, Mula?" Wan asked petting the cat-deer who purrs.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Aye-Aye asked.
"Yes. It's time I see the rest of the world and find the other lion-turtle cities." Wan said.
"I'm proud to call you my friend, Stinky." Aye-Aye said smiling.
"Thank you for everything. Goodbye, everyone." Wan said as Mula starts to dash off.
"We'll miss you!" The first friendly spirit called waving goodbye.
Wan and Mula are riding across the world. Later on they arrive at a plain with a stream where they decide to rest. Wan lies on the ground while Mula is drinking water from the stream but then they see a parade of spirits running away.
"The all powerful spirits are battling!" One of the spirits said.
"They're gonna wipe out the entire valley!" The second spirit said.
Wan and Mula go to find the source of the stampede and they find a clearing where they find two spirits which one is white and blue while the other is black and red and they are locked in battle while destroying surroundings and Wan runs up to the two and unleashes fire at them.
"Stop or you'll destroy everything!" Wan yelled.
"This doesn't concern you, human!" The white spirit said in a female pure voice.
"It does when lives of spirits and animals are in danger!" Wan said.
"If you're a friend of the spirits, then use your ability to help me break free." The black spirit said in an evil like male voice.
"Don't involve the human! This is between us." The white spirit said.
"Please save me! She has tormented me for ten-thousand years." The black spirit said.
"Ten-thousand years? Let him go!" Wan yelled throwing a fire blast at them but the white spirit swats it away and Wan finds they're connected by one tentacle and so he unleashes a fire blast at the connected tentacles severing it and separating the two spirits.
"Thank you, human. You have performed a great service for the spirits." The black spirit said flying away.
"Do you realize what you have done?" The white spirit asked.
"Yeah, I just helped a spirit, who was being bullied by you." Wan said.
"You are gravely mistaken. I was keeping him under control." The white spirit said.
"And what gives you that right?" Wan asked.
"You don't know who I am, do you?" The white spirit asked.
"Should I?" Wan asked.
"Yes. My name is Raava. That spirit you freed was Vaatu. He is the force of darkness and chaos. I am a force of light and peace. Since the beginning of time, we have battled over the fate of this world and for the past ten-thousand years, I have kept darkness under control and the world in balance, until you came along." Raava said.
"So, by freeing Vaatu, I let chaos into the world?" Wan asked.
"Precisely. The human and spirit realms are headed toward annihilation and it's all your fault." Raava said and Wan hangs his head in shame.
After the vision Korra is still in the pool resting.
"Raava, I found you." Korra said.
Kanan's Dreamscape
Kanan charges his sword unleashing a powerful draw slash. Dark Kanan blocks it, swinging his sword in an upwards cut which Kanan parries.
Kanan jumps back. "Sōryūha!" Kanan shouts as the attack obliterates Dark Kanan.
"I fight to battle the strongest of opponents. Which excludes the likes of you." Kanan says.
Dark Kanan reappears and chuckles. "You finally realized it. Remember the reasons why you fight and you shall never falter. Good luck." Dark Kanan says as Kanan wakes up.
The spirit water glows as the pitch black color clears Kanan climbs out of it.
"I see you conquered your darkness." The Elder states. "Let us hope the Avatar achieves in her endeavor."
Kanan walks over to Korra grabbing her hand softly. "You'll make it. You're the strongest girl I know. I know you will."
Korra's Dreamscape
"The human and spirit realms are headed toward annihilation and it's all your fault. This is why humans have no place interfering in the business of spirits." Raava said
"This world is home to us all and what happens here is everyone's business." Wan said.
"Thanks to you, this world may cease to exist! I only hope I can track down Vaatu before it's too late." Raava said angry.
"Let me help you." Wan said.
"I don't want your help. Don't interfere with me again, human!" Raava said sternly as she flies off.
After Raava is gone Wan and Mula exchange looks.
"Let's keep moving." Wan said as he mounts on Mula who starts moving.
As Wan and Mula continue travelling through the plains they see something in the distance walking down their way.
"What is that?" Wan asked as it's a figure who continues to walk down Wan's path. "Who are you?" Wan asked getting off Mula and unleashes flames in his palms ready to attack.
The figures reveals herself as Kaminari. "Kaminari?" Wan asked.
"Wan? Oh how I missed you." She says hugging him.
"Why did you leave?" Wan asked, Kaminari having left after she saved Wan. Wan had hoped to see her again.
"You see I never stay at the same place for long. I'm a traveler." Kaminari stated.
Wan nodded hoping Kaminari would travel with him. He undeniably has huge feelings for her. He blushes as he thinks about her sexy figure. In the years she had grown to be even more beautiful.
"Hey. Have you seen a giant black and red spirit named Vaatu?" Wan asked.
"No, but I have seen something flying over the sky a minute ago." Kaminari said.
"That must've been him." Wan said.
"Why are you searching for this Vaatu?" Kaminari asked.
"Um…well…I kinda set him loose. He tricked me into releasing him and the other spirit Raava. Now he's probably out causing trouble, but Raava said she'll handle it." Wan said.
"If he's dangerous we should help her in stopping him." Kaminari states.
"There's another lion-turtle city nearby. Come on." Kaminari says dragging him along.
They reach the lion-turtle city which is located in the skies.
"Okay. Well, I've got to get to that lion-turtle." Wan said.
"How? It's floating and last time I checked, you're not a flyer." Kaminari said.
"I've got an idea." Wan said grinning.
Later Wan ties a rope to a tree and around a rock.
"Are you certain this will work?" Kaminari asked.
"Gotta try. Wish me luck." Wan said climbing up the tree and then uses his fire to burn the rope catapulting himself toward the lion-turtle but he's not flying enough. "Oh, no…" Wan said as he's falling down but he grabs a dangling vine and starts climbing.
Wan enters the village and he explores around and finds spirits in the village as well much to his amazement and he finds monks who are meditating and he walks up to him.
"Hi. My name is Wan." Wan introduced but the monks look at each other. "Um, sorry to interrupt, but it's been a while since I've seen other humans." Wan said.
"Where did you come from, stranger?" One of the nomads asked.
"Another lion-turtle city far away. For the past two years, I've been living among the spirits and exploring the wilds." Wan said.
"Remarkable. Come. Sit with us. We would love to hear your travels." The nomad said.
Just then the spirit sitting with the nomads becomes dark and flies off while another spirit also turns dark tears down a wall of a nearby hut making people run out screaming and more and more spirits become dark and attack the villagers and just then something appears in the sky and it's Vaatu.
"Vaatu." Wan said.
"So, that's Vaatu." A voice said and Kaminari arrives.
"So, we meet again, human. And what's this? Another one? Wait, you look familiar to me. You wouldn't happen to be the child of the Raiju, would you?" Vaatu asked.
"The Raiju?" Wan asks.
"That's my father. You know him?" Kaminari asked.
"More than you know. So, he has a child. This will be perfect to make him suffer." Vaatu said.
"Why is the great spirit of darkness here, but not his other half?" The nomad asked.
"Uh, I'll explain later." Wan said running to Vaatu. "Leave these people in peace! They've done nothing to harm you." Wan said but a dark spirit comes at Wan but then a bolt of lightning strikes at it. "Kaminari?" Wan asked.
"Leave him." Kaminari said as he creates lightning and shoots it at Vaatu who swiftly dodges.
Just then something appears in the sky and it's Raava.
"Begone!" Raava yelled knocking into Vaatu.
"How are you doing after our split, Raava? I've never been better. When Harmonic Convergence comes, I will destroy you forever." Vaatu said flying off with dark spirits following him.
"That was close." Wan said.
"I told you not to interfere." Raava said to Wan.
"I had to do something. These people were in danger." Wan said.
"Another human also interfered. You are not needed." Raava said to Kaminari.
"I was helping, because I wanted to." Kaminari states.
"You look familiar to me. Who are you?" Raava asked.
"Kaminari, you know my father The Raiju." She states.
"The Raiju has children?" Raava asks.
"Great spirit of light, we thank you for your help, but how did you become split from Vaatu?" The nomad asked.
"Ask him." Raava said looking at Wan who hangs his head.
"It wasn't my fault. Vaatu tricked me into freeing him. I'd take it all if I could." Wan said.
"It's too late for that. Now that Vaatu is free, he is turning other spirits dark. The more spirits he turns, the stronger he becomes." Raava said.
"He's stronger, but you're getting weaker." Indra said.
"As darkness grows, light fades." Raava said.
"I'm sorry for endangering your village, but I promise to set things right." Wan said.
"How?" The nomad asked.
Outside the village Wan, Indra, Raava, Mula, and a nomad are facing the air lion-turtle.
"Great lion-turtle, I ask that you grant me the power of air, so that I can defeat Vaatu before it's too late." Wan said.
"You already carry the power of fire. No human has ever held two elements at the same time." The air lion-turtle said.
"I'm not like other humans. I can learn to do it." Wan said.
"Hmm, perhaps, but to do so, Raava must hold the power for you until you master it." The air lion-turtle said.
"Ancient one, why would I do that for a human? Especially one, who has caused so much trouble?" Raava said.
"Raava, please. I can't let the world fall into chaos because of my mistake. Neither of us can defeat Vaatu alone." Wan said.
"If we work together, then we may have a chance." Kaminari said.
"You wanna help?" Wan asked.
"If dark spirits are causing calamity in this world, then I should do something. After all, Vaatu seems to know about my father, if they faced each other in combat, then there should be a reason his daughter can also face him." Kaminari said.
"Thanks." Wan said smiling.
"Very well, I will help you to master the power of air." Raava said.
"Thank you, Raava. In return, I'll help you restore balance to the world." Wan said.
Later Wan, Kaminari, and Raava are travelling through deserted lands. Kaminari and Wan growing closer.
"What's this harmonic thing Vaatu was talking about?" Wan asked.
"Harmonic Convergence. That is when Vaatu and I must battle for the fate of the world." Raava said.
"How long do we have?" Kaminari asked.
"About a year in your time." Raava said.
"Then we'd better start training. By the way Kaminari how comes you can use lightning." Wan asked.
"My father gave it to me." She answered.
"Ah yes the Raiju refused to give his power to the lion-turtles." Raava states.
"Okay, I'm ready to try air. How's this gonna work?" Wan asked.
"The only way for me to give you the other element is to pass through your body and combine our energies." Raava said.
"That's all?" Kaminari asked.
"Great. So, you've done this before?" Wan asked.
"No, this has never even been attempted. It is very dangerous." Raava said.
"That's what they said about living in the Spirit Wilds and I survived that. I'm ready. Give me the air." Wan said and Raava flies through him and he yells in pain for bit but then he unleashes a gust of air. "It feels completely different." Wan said.
"If you and Vaatu have been battling each other for every ten-thousand years, why hasn't one of you destroyed the other?" Kaminari asked.
"He cannot destroy light any more than I can destroy darkness. One cannot exist without the other. Even if I defeat Vaatu in this encounter, darkness will grow inside me until he emerges again. The same will hold true if Vaatu defeats me." Raava explained.
"That doesn't sound so bad." Wan said.
"Even if Vaatu wins, you'll still come back?" Kaminari asked.
"Yes, but you won't survive to see it. Vaatu will destroy the world as you know it. Darkness will cover the world for ten-thousand years." Raava said.
"That doesn't sound very promising. We better pull ourselves together if we're going stand against him." Kaminari said.
"I can see you've got some powerful stuff at your disposal, but if I'm gonna help you guys defeat Vaatu, then I should visit some more lion-turtles." Wan said.
Wan, Kaminari, and Raava travel the world. Wan and Kaminari share their first kiss. They find a water lion-turtle who gives Wan the power of water and Wan starts rising water.
"Why's there so much conflict between humans and spirits in the first place?" Wan asked.
"This physical world is where humans come from. Spirits come from another realm. At the north and south pols, the two realms intersect. Over time, more and more spirits have drifted into this world. Humans have been forced apart settling on the lion-turtles, who protect them and losing touch with each other." Raava explained.
Later an earth lion-turtle gives Wan the power of earth.
"Most people think they live in the only human city in the world." Wan said.
"Most humans think only of themselves, no matter how many others are around." Raava said.
Raava passes through Wan's body again.
"When you pass through me, I feel an incredible rush of power." Wan said as he uses the power of earth and Raava passes through him again. "I feel like I'm changing. The more we practice, the stronger I become." Wan said.
"Good. You'll need everything you have so we can rise against Vaatu." Kaminari said as she slashes the air with her scythe and then unleashes her lightning.
"With you at our side, I think things will go smoothly." Wan said but then he starts sniffing. "Smells like smoke." Wan said.
"Humans are nearby." Raava said.
"We should go see." Kaminari said and they find a group of humans burning down trees for wood.
"A spirit!" A settler yelled throwing a fireball but Wan deflects it.
"Easy there! We're friendly." Wan said.
One of the humans sees Wan and is shocked.
"Wan? I can't believe it." The human said and it's an older Jaya.
"Jaya!" Wan cheered and they hug. "What're you doing out here?" Wan asked.
"You inspired us. Once we heard that you survived out there in the wilds, we decided to try it too." Jaya said.
"Is this your friend, Wan?" Kaminari asked.
"Yeah. This is Jaya. Jaya, Kaminari. My girlfriend." Wan introduced.
"Where'd you come from?" Jaya asked.
"I'm traveling the world contantly." Kaminari said.
"So, where's Yao? Did he come with you?" Wan asked.
"Yes, but he didn't make it. We…we lost many good men along the way." Jaya said sadly and Wan hangs his head down in sorrow and Jaya notices Raava. "So, why were you protecting that spirit?" Jaya asked.
"This is Raava. Don't worry. She's not like the dark spirits you've probably ran into." Wan said.
"Dark spirits? What's the difference? We throw fire at any spirit we see around here, just like they attack any men." Jaya said.
"You have no idea what you're doing. You're only making things worse." Raava said.
"The spirits are back!" One of the settlers said pointing at the right.
"Let's wipe 'em out this time! We'll burn down this whole forest if we have to!" Jaya said.
"What happened to you? When did you become so violent?" Wan asked.
"You showed me we could change the world if we just stopped being so afraid. Now we're doing it." Jaya said as he runs to joins the others.
"This isn't what I had in mind." Wan said as he goes after them.
A group of spirits and humans stand face-to-face against each other and the humans prepare their fire in their hands.
"Get out of our forest, humans!" Aye-Aye yelled.
Just then Wan comes in between them.
"Wait! We can resolve this peacefully." Wan said.
"Stinky? Kaminari? You came back!" Aye-Aye cheered.
"It's good to see you again." Wan said.
"You and Raava are just in time to help us clear these tree-killing fire-lovers out of here, just like the old days." Aye-Aye said.
"YOU'RE the ones, who's getting cleared out!" Jaya yelled.
"There's no need for violence. I know there must be a way to work out a compromise." Wan said.
"You cannot allow yourselves to give into your hatred or this conflict will escalate for the worst." Kaminari said.
"You have a good hearts, Kaminari, Stinky." Aye-Aye said.
"Spirits like him killed our friends! I can't let them get away with that." Jaya said.
Just then thunder is roaring as dark clouds appear while lightning starts crackling as Vaatu appears in the sky and Vaatu laughs evilly and Aye-Aye and the other spirits start turning dark.
"We are protectors of the forest. We won't let you burn it down!" Dark Aye-Aye yelled.
"No, they're corrupted." Kaminari said.
"It's Vaatu. He's growing stronger, using their anger to turn them to his side." Raava said.
Jaya throws a fireball at the dark spirits but they dodge.
"Wipe them out!" Dark Aye-Aye commanded as the dark spirits and human start fight.
"Stop, please!" Wan yelled as he unleashes a gust of air to send them back but they keep charging at each other.
"This is getting us nowhere." Kaminari said.
"Raava, we need each other to combine our energies. Maybe we'll have enough power to stop this." Wan said.
"Wan, it's risky." Kaminari said.
"Anything to stop this." Wan said and Raava merges with him and Wan shoots himself into the air on an air spout and other three elements circle around him and he is glowing with white energy. "Enough! You need to stop fighting before you destroy each other!" Wan yelled.
Aye-Aye is reverting back to his normal state.
"Stinky, wh-what happened…?" Aye-Aye asked.
"He's controlling the four elements." Jaya said.
"Impressive." Kaminari said.
"Wan, I have to leave your body or I'll destroy you." Raava said feeling his energy is unstable.
"No, it's working. If you leave, the fighting will start again." Wan said but he groans under strain and starts falling into the sky.
"Wan!" Kaminari said rushing over to him.
Raava leaves Wan's body and catches him before he crashes to the ground and Raava takes Wan out of the battlefield and Kaminari follows them but then she sees the humans and spirits fighting each other again and she stops to do something but looks back at Wan and goes after him.
Later Wan wakes up on a nearby cliff and he sees the burned down remains of the battlefield.
"We have to go back." Wan said.
"I'm afraid it's over." Kaminari said.
Just then Vaatu appears in front of them.
"She's right. Your human friends have already been annihilated." Vaatu said.
"No…!" Wan said shocked and saddened.
"Enjoy your final days. See you at the end of the world!"Vaatu says flying off.
"Damn him." Indra said.
Wan searches for Raava and finds her completely small behind a rock and he picks her up.
"Raava…" Wan said sadly.
"You've been weakened even more." Indra said.
"I'm sorry, Wan, Indra."Raava said and Wan puts her into a teapot.
"There's nothing else we can do here." Indra said.
"Yeah. Let's go." Wan said as he gets on Mula who dashes off and Indra follows after them.
Wan and Indra are making their way for the southern spirit portal.
"We're almost there. I was wrong about you, Wan. I had no idea that humans were capable of such nobility and courage. And you, Kaminari I never knew women could be so strong and courageous. I'm sorry that we do not have much more time together." Raava said.
"Let's not give up before the battle's even begun. Who knows what will happen?" Wan said.
"This is our first Harmonic Convergence, so we will see how this plays out." Kaminari said.
Later they come across a beam of light."Is this the portal, Raava?" Kaminari asked.
"Yes. This is the southern portal to the Spirit World. Here, Vaatu and I will do battle once again, at the place where the two worlds meet." Raava said.
Wan and Kaminari enter the portal and they arrive in the Spirit World which is barren and there is a hollow tree in the center and two portals and they find Vaatu arriving from the North portal.
"Are you ready for our final battle, Raava? Thanks to our friend separating us, I think this time, I may be rid of you once and for all." Vaatu said.
"Before you get to her, you'll have to go through me." Wan said.
"And me." Kaminari said.
"No human can stand against me. I'll destroy you." Vaatu stated.
"Haven't you heard the legends? I'm not a regular human anymore." Wan said.
"If my father was able to handle you, so can I." Kaminari stated.
Wan throws a blast of fire at Vaatu who dodges but Kaminari unleashes lightning getting the spirit who retaliates with attacking with his tentacles at Kaminari who back flips out of the way while cutting the tendrils with her scythe and Wan shoots another fire blast but Vaatu swats Wan away with his tentacles.
"I have lived ten-thousand lifetimes before the first of your kind crawled out of the mud!" Vaatu said firing a purple energy beam getting Wan. "It was I, who broke through the divide that separated the plane of spirits from the material world! To hate me is to give me breath. To fight me is to give me strength. Now prepare to face oblivion!" Vaatu said firing another purple energy beam.
Kaminari quickly takes Wan and they dodge the beam.
"He's more powerful than I imagined." Kaminari said.
"Raava! The only way we win is together!" Wan said and Raava flies to Wan and merges with him and he's surrounded by unstable white energy.
Vaatu attacks with his tentacles but the two evade with Wan creating a cloud and while they're exchanging blows Kaminari swings her lightning coated scythe hitting Vaatu.
Wan uses two elements to attack but they're forced back by Vaatu's attack and Wan's physical form starts becoming static as his energy is unstable.
"You and Raava have to be separated." Kaminari said.
"She's right. If I stay any longer, you will die." Raava said.
"It doesn't matter! If you leave me now, Vaatu will destroy everything. We have to finish this together!" Wan said.
Kaminari unleashes lightning at Vaatu to keep him busy but Vaatu dodges the fire and unleashes another purple energy beam but Kaminari dodges and uses lightning needles which Vaatu dodges and retaliates with another purple energy beam to send the two back and Wan is near the portal and Vaatu pins him down with one of his tentacles.
"Wan!" Kaminari yelled as she uses lightning to attack but Vaatu whips with his tentacles and enters Kaminari's body.
"It's no use! Harmonic Convergence is about to begin. The era of Raava is over!" Vaatu said in Kaminari's voice.
In outer space the planets start to align and two beams from the spirit portals start bending over to connect each other and Vaatu starts glowing purple while Wan's body is containing Raava's form and Wan places his hand on the south portal causing its energy to flow into him and he's covered in blue light.
Vaatu sees this happening and backs off as Wan is becoming less static and his eyes glow white as white energy flies out of his mouth and eyes and Wan's energy is stabilized.
"We are bonded forever." Raava said.
"Raava and I are one now." Wan says before his expression turns to shock.
"What's the matter Wan? Shocked." Vaatu says in Kaminari's voice.
"I am bonded with her as well, you won't stop me." Vaatu says attacking Wan.
Wan does nothing to retaliate and takes hit after hit.
"What are you doing Wan. Attack him." Raava yelled.
"I can't hurt her." Wan says taking another hit.
Just then Vaatu falls to his knees. "Do something, quick!" Kaminari yells out.
Wan unleashes fire, air, water, and earth attacks at Vaatu. Wan traps him in an air bubble and unleashes rings of fire, air, water, and earth, pushing Vaatu out of Kaminari. Wan guides the bubble to the hollow of the tree and Vaatu is now trapped in the tree with purple energy behind him.
"It's over for you, Vaatu. This is your prison now. I will close the spirit portals, so no one will ever be able to physically enter the Spirit World and release you." Wan said as he closes the north portal.
Wan and Kaminari are back in the physical world. Kaminari lays there, dying.
"Is there nothing you can do!" Wan begged Raava.
"I'm sorry Wan. She was bonded with Vaatu. Without him she will die." Raava sadly stated.
"It's okay. My whole life I fought, never having friends. But when I met you again, I felt things would change. I found friends in both of you. You never saw me as the Hitokiri. You simply saw me as Kaminari." Kaminari stated as tears ran down Wan's face.
"I love you." She said kissing him. "I love you too." Wan kissed her back until he felt her body become lifeless.
Somewhere else the Raiju felt his chest hurt.
"Are you sure about this?" Raava asked.
"Yes. The spirits must stop fighting with humans and return to their home in the Spirit World. I'll teach men to respect the spirits so balance can be maintained." Wan said.
Spirits start lining for the south portal and they enter the Spirit World through the portal and before Aye-Aye goes for the portal he turns to Wan.
"Goodbye, Stinky. I was glad to have met you." Aye-Aye said bowing.
"Same to you." Wan said bowing back and Aye-Aye goes into the portal.
Wan begins closing the south portal.
"I'll be the bridge between our two worlds. And only the Avatar can be able to enter the Spirit World." Wan said.
Later the fire lion-turtle is talking to its residents.
"The world is entering a new age. Our time protecting mankind is over. We will no longer give humans the power of the elements." The fire lion-turtle said.
Later armored warriors are fighting with weapons and are using fire and water.
"Different groups of people must learn to live together. This is my mission: To use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace." Wan said as he enters the Avatar State and uses the four elements to keep the fighting parties at bay.
Years later at a burning battlefield where rocks are elevated everywhere, red flags, arrows, and large earth coins are scattered all over the field an old and armored Wan slumps against an earth coin surrounded by arrows.
"I'm sorry, Raava. I failed to bring peace. Even with Vaatu locked away, darkness still surrounded humanity and hatred is spreading. There isn't enough time." Old Wan said.
"Don't worry. We will be together for all of your lifetimes and we will never give up. Go, be with Kaminari."Raava said as an old Wan exhales one more time as a gold light leaves his body and it dissipates into golden specks and scatters.
Everything goes white and a baby cry is heard.
"I remember." Korra breathed.
"Do you know who you are?" the woman asked.
"My name is Korra," Korra said. "And I'm the Avatar."
The woman nodded and the net rose, one of the other sages turning the crank. Then, the woman guided them to a field where a heard of sky bison were grazing. She allowed Korra to choose one, and once Korra had, she and Kanan climbed on, taking off and heading back toward the South Pole.
"How long were we away?" Korra asked.
"For about a week." Kanan said. "I was with you most of the time."
"You seem different." Korra said.
"I learned something important about myself." Kanan replied.
"Good." Korra smiled. "Because I think we'll need it. I have a feeling we'll be fighting Vaatu."
"Vaatu?" Kanan asked as Korra proceeded to tell him the whole story.
"Wow. I haven't heard such a good story for a long time." Kanan said wrapping an arm around Korra, who lay her head on his shoulder. Then, they settled in for the flight.
My longest chapter so far I think.
Sorry if this chapter is shit, I just wanted to get it over with.
See ya.
