The Four Nations Part 3
Hello everyone. I decided to get a jump start on the next chapter for this story while it is still fresh on my mind. I'm so glad that you all like the last chapter and hope you like the last part of the Avatar Arc.
Star: Previously on Loud Hearts:
"They almost resemble fire nation soldiers."
'I have to stay strong for Lana.' Lincoln thought. He was pretty certain that the other night would not be the last time she would have nightmares and he wanted to protect her.
"Is that true? That you're looking for your family?"
"Yeah. I don't like going into too much detail but we got separated, met Marco, Star and Steven and we have been helping each other since."
"I don't think there is much else I can say but this." She said lifting up Lincoln's head. "Your family will never be truly gone. They will always be with you. In here." She said pointing to his chest where his heart is.
"T-thank you."
"Was it taken over by the Heartless, or a Heartless itself?
"I think I just figured out why it's called the serpent's pass!"
"The baby is coming!"
"I think I know what I want to name our daughter. Hope."
"Please forget what I said before and never give up hope. It may be the one thing you and your team can rely on if nothing else."
"I'll come with."
"The fire nation actually controls the western lakes. Word is they're working on a secret project that they don't want anyone to know about."
"Oh no." Aang said. Both the boys and Momo looked distraught. In the distance there was a giant machine that looked like a drill slowly coming towards the city.
Let's go.
(Inside the drill)
The fire nation drill is slowly heading to the city wall looking menacing to any one that could see it. Inside there are many fire nation soldiers keeping guard and preparing for an invasion. The invasion of the Earth Kingdom capital.
In the command area built on top of it, a familiar figure was in the 'throne' in the center. This is one of the members of the leaders in the organization that wants to stop Lincoln and his friends, she controls the heartless, and is heir to the fire nation. Princess Azula. Accompanied by her two assistants Ty Lee and Mie.
"How much longer until we get to that wall?" She asked the commander. Just a few more hours sir...I mean your highness. This drill is a feat of science and raw destructive power. Once it penetrates the walls of Ba Sing Se the fire nation will storm the city and the fire nation will finally fall and you will be able to claim Be Sing Se in the name of your father." He said to Azula.
"What about those earth benders down there?" Ty Lee asked looking through the telescope. The earth benders made several tranches to defend the city.
"Please, this drill's armor is immune to any earth bending attacks." The commander said.
"Well just to be safe...Mie, Tyi Lee go take the earth benders out."
"Finally something to do." Mie said swinging a small dagger in her hand.
"Oh, and take some of those new soldiers with you. While I know you can take care of yourselves I want to see what they are capable of." Azula said with a grin.
"Whatever. I just don't want to be sitting here until we actually reach the wall. Besides, I kind of like these new ones. They fit my style." Mie said as they walked out the door.
(With team Avatar and Lincoln's gang.) (Need to come up with a team name for them. Anyone of any ideas?)
Aang and Lincoln left the wall as soon as they saw the drill. Aang apologizing to Lincoln for having to delay looking for his friends. The rest of the group was actually close to the wall but haven seen the drill due to the parts of path having a mini wall tall enough to block it from their view. The two boys and lemur flew down to them as fast as they could, the rest surprised to see them back so soon.
"Aang, Lincoln? What are you doing back so soon? We thought you were going to search the city?" Katara asked before the others could react.
"We were but something big has come up." Lincoln explained walking over to Lana and picking her up. "And we mean big."
"We have to get back to the wall as fast as we can." Aang said. The group reached the wall in a couple minutes using their earthbending to get everyone up. Momo had settled in Lana's arms, the two comforting each other.
"I have a bad feeling about this." She said to herself.
"Trust me I do too." Lincoln replied. Ever since him and Aang had seen the drill he has been feeling some kind of overwhelming power coming from somewhere in the drill. He's Been having a small headache ever since but at the moment it was barely noticeable.
"Yeah. What's so important you couldn't go find Appa?" Marco asked.
"That." Lincoln said pointing to the drill that could now be clearly seen. His head began feeling fuzzy again but he ignored it.
"What is that?" Star asked. Who happened to be standing next to Toph.
"Don't ask me. It was too far away for me to feel when we were on land." The blind girl said.
"It looks like a giant drill." Steven said.
"Made by the fire nation. They're trying to invade the city!" Sokka exclaimed.
"All that trouble and we still aren't safe." Ying cried.
Unknown to the group they were being watched by a small figure hiding behind some rocks wearing a brown robe.
"It can't be. He's here. He's really here." A femine voice said. The figure started to cry….not of sadness but of joy. The figure then pulled out what looks like a blue gem that has a small crack down the middle. She then put it back in her pocket to figure out what to do next.
"We'll be back together soon…..my love."
At the top of the wall
Meanwhile the group got to the top of the wall and were soon spotted by guards.
"I'm the Avatar. Please take me to whoever is in charge." Aang said.
The guards reluctantly complied, taking the team to the general in charge of the wall while a couple other guards sent Ying and her family to the train station to find a new home in the city. Assuming the fire nation didn invade.
"It is an honor to have you and your...friends here young avatar." The general said the last part directed to Lincoln and his gang. "But I'm afraid that your services are not needed."
"Not needed?" Aang said. Lincoln and the rest were confused as well.
'Why would you not want extra help? Even if you think you have it under control it can't hurt to have some extra hands. That just sounds like arrogance.' Marco thought. The others had similar thoughts.
"Someone sounds over confident." Lana said to herself not realizing she said it out loud. The general looked like he was about to respond when Lincoln spoke up putting his hand over his sister's mouth.
"What she means sir is that while we do believe you can handle this yourself,' Lincoln paused trying to put together the right words. Thankfully Steven jumped in.
"We just don't see why you wouldn't take the Avatars help. It can't make things worse." He said both boys had nervous grins. Lana was trying to shrink away hiding behind Steven out of embarrassment and afraid of how the very old man may respond.
The general seemed to calm down after that, realizing that there was no point in arguing with a bunch of preteens and a six-year old. "I assure you that we have the situation under control." He said, focusing his attention back on Aang. The fire nation can not penetrate this wall. Many have tried but none have succeeded.
"What about the Dragon of the West? He got in." Toph said, wanting to put her two cents in.
"Well yes but he was quickly defeated afterwards." He said, trying to end the argument quickly."
"Okay, so what do we do about the drill?" Star asked.
"Yeah you must have some kind of plan then?" Marco asked. Sokka nodded in agreement.
'Sigh' "Not to worry. I sent an elite group of earthbenders called the terra team."
"Thats a good team name. Very catchy." Sokka said.
"Yeah. I need to come up with some team names for us." Steven said looking at Lincoln.
"Not a bad idea." Lana agreed.
While this is going on the earthbenders have reached the drill and started their attack. After taking down a couple tanks they tried to make some pillars to slow it down if not stop the drill but it broke them as if the earth was made of glass.
Suddenly two short figures in a desert garb outfit carrying a sword and what looked like two monkeys but with pink fur holding slingshots came from thin air taking on three of the six men attacking on that side. The earthbenders were startled and shocked to say the least but kept attacking focusing their attention on the new strange enemies.
The ones with swords quickly went into a somersault the swords spinning around them at deadly speeds. The two benders they were charging barely had time to react but put up a wall just in time. Unfortunately they forgot about the other two adversaries that their third member was dealing with. The creatures used slingshots to shoot some sort of magical energy that was quickly destroying the walls of earth the other member was making. They have been so focused on this battle that they didn't notice two women sliding down the side of the machine taking on the other men.
After making a new wall the bender broke it into many pieces all about the size of a person's head sending them flying at the creatures. One wasn't able to dodge all of them and was destroyed after a few hits. The other was damaged but kept attacking.
The earthbenders made a quick decision and all three jumped in the air moving some of the earth up. When they landed it created a shockwave effectively destroying the creatures.
"Well they seemed to have at least worn you down. Shame though, I was hoping they would do more." A new voice said behind them. The men turned around and saw two teenage girls, one of them holding several small knives and sia's.
"Who are you and where are our men?" One of the soldiers asked.
"Oh don't worry about them right now. You should be worried about yourselfs." Ty Lee said before charging at the soldiers. The rest of the men were on the ground unable to move.
(Back at the wall)
The general was watching the fight go down through a telescope and was starting to panic seeing his men being beaten so easily.
"Would you like our help now?" Lana said with a smirk.
"Yes please." The general said almost in shame that he was having to ask children to help him. Even if one of them was the Avatar.
"We can take care of the creatures. Question is how do we get up there." Lincoln said.
"I can make some cover but first we should wait and see what the soldiers that fought out there will say." Toph said. Marco and Steven looked over the wall to see the few men that were still standing were retreating using the earth to carry the wounded. When they got back to the top of the wall all the men were put on stretchers to rest. The gang went to go talk to one of the men who fought both the heartless and Mie and Ty Lee. Katara was using her bending to heal him.
"They came out of nowhere. Four of them surrounded us. Two had swords and the other two looked like some kind of monkey or lemur. When more popped up we destroyed as soon as we could. That's when these two teenagers showed up. One used a bunch of knives and the other punched most of us in specific weak points. Fell to the floor, I couldn't move much less bend. She moved around like an acrobat."
"Ty Lee." Katara said, recognizing the description."
"Who?" Star asked.
"She's an enemy of ours. We have run into her before. She uses chi blocking. Causes a person to go limp after enough hits and causes benders to not be able to bend temporarily. They may not look like it but her and Mie are very dangerous. You five try to avoid them if you can." Katara said to Lincoln's group.
"Something tells me that will be hard." Marco said.
"So what's the plan?" Lana asked. Lincoln and Sokka were standing in the middle of the two groups and both realized they were being stared at by their respective teams.
"What are you staring at me for?" Both asked.
"You're always the idea guy." Aang said to Sokka.
"And you said you're good with making plans yourself Lincoln." Steven said.
Both of the buoys thought for a moment. "I think I have an idea." They said. The two quickly talked about each other's plan and realized that they were more or less the same. Once everyone was on the same page they made their descent down the wall jumping down to one of the bunkers.
"Alright Toph first we need you to make some cover so we can get under the drill." Sokka said.
"Okay. I can do it but we'll have to move fast. It won't last long." She said. She bended the top layer of the earth crushing it creating a huge layer of dust that spreaded out like fog. The group ran as fast as they could thankfully undetected. About halfway there Toph created a whole for everyone to jump in making a tunnel to make it the rest of the way unseen.
"It's so dark in here. I can't see anything." Sokka Complained.
"Oh no the nightmare." Toph said sarcastically. Meanwhile Lincoln had picked up Lana holding on to her so she wouldn't get lost. He knew that couldn't really happen but he wanted to be on the safe side. And she didn't seem to argue with him. If anything it felt like she was holding on to his clothes more than he was to her.
'Almost forgot she's afraid of the dark.' Lincoln thought. To be fair the tunnel was pitch black since they are underground so there wasn't any light. No one could see anything. Not even themselves. Lana being a little scared of this does make sense.
"You too okay?" Asked Steven who was behind them.
"Yeah. Lana's just a little scared of the dark like this." Lincoln said.
"A-am n-not." Lana weakly protested. A piece of dirt fell on her head causing her to bury herself into Lincoln's clothes for comfort. She wouldn't admit it but being pitch black like this almost reminds her of her dream.
"Are you sure she should have come with us Lincoln?" Katara asked.
"Trust me she would have found a way to catch up with us if we left her back at the wall anyways. And despite everything going on I feel better having her with me or someone I can trust." Lincoln said right as Toph opened a new hole now right under the drill. They all ran out as quickly as they could. Lincoln put Lana down who seemed to do much better.
"Over there." Steven said seeing an opening. But before they could reach it a group of heartless appeared! Specifically the same ones that fought the earth benders.
"Watch out!" Aang said knocking the enemies away with a giant gust of wind. "We have to move fast." He said jumping up to pull the others up. Lincoln gave Lana a boost handing her to Aang as he and the others grabbed onto Aang. Well all but two.
"Guys come on, we don't have much time." Aang said talking to Toph and Steven.
"What are you waiting for? An Invitation?" Lincoln asked them, trying to make a joke.
"I prefer to stay where I can see." Toph said. "I'll see if I can slow it down from out here."
"And I can stay to help her. In case more heartless show up.
"Alright. Be safe." Aang said.
"We will be back as soon as possible." Lincoln said not wanting to leave his friends but knew it was necessary at the moment. He, Aang, Sokka, Lana, Marco, Star and Katara ran ahead while Steven helped Toph find a spot on the drill she could hit.
"By the way I don't need protecting." Toph said. Before any of them could say anything else the Heartless showed back up surrounding them. "But I do appreciate the help." She said.
Steven quickly made a shield all around them leaving a hole just big enough for the pillar Toph made.
"Keep them away for as long as you can." Toph said.
"Right!" The boy replied.
With the others
"We need to get a blueprint of the machine. We can use that to find its weak points." Lincoln said.
"Way ahead of you Lincoln." Sokka said, grabbing his club. He then proceeded to casually swing it at a valve breaking it off and causing steam to go everywhere.
"Dude what are you doing? Someone will see us." Marco asked, freaked out.
"Exactly. With a machine this big there is bound to be engineers. So that when something breaks-" Sokka paused hoping someone else would finish,
"Someone will have to come fix it. And most likely have blueprints of the drill." Lana finished realizing the plan.
"That's right." Sokka said. "I knew I liked you for a reason." He teased.
"We better hide before that engineer gets here." Aang said.
"Steam more or less did that for us." Star joked. The team backed off waiting for someone to show up and sure enough a man making the rounds came to check the damage. He pulled out the blue prints when he thought he heard something. The man turned around to a bunch of kids behind him. Before he could reach for his weapon Katara used her bending on the steam changing it ice and freezing the man on the spot. Lincoln then grabbed the blue prints from his hand.
"Thanks." Lincoln said with a grin. He handed the plans to Sokka and once they were out of site looked at the blue prints.
"It looks like there's two man parts. The inner circle where we are at, and the outer drill."
"And the two parts are connected by those braces." Lincoln observed.
"So all that means is if we destroy the braces the whole thing will go down!" Lana finished.
"Why can't you two be more like them?" Sokka asked Aang and Katara pointing at Lana and Lincoln.
"Hey we established that you're the planning guy. It's not our fault that inventing and science isn't our thing." Aang said.
"Guys, as much fun as this is to watch, we are on a time limit here." Marco said.
"Right. Sokka lead the way." Star said as they started running to the closest entry to the braces.
Outside the drill
Toph and Steven are still dealing with the heartless seeming to never end. Steven was starting to get tired constantly holding up a shield sometimes having to expand to push back enemies. Toph still had the pillar up but she wasn't sure if she was actually doing anything to slow the machine down.
"Come on twinkle toes. Hurry it up." Toph grumbled.
"We believe in you guys." Steven said to himself. He was not sure how much longer he could hold up the shield until he thought of something. " How could I forget about that?" He said to himself quickly, grabbing a portion from his pocket. He quickly gave one to Toph and then himself.
"Much better. Keep it up you Toph." Steven encouraged. The potion helped but he wasn't sure how much longer he could hold against the increasing group of enemies. "It would be really nice if we had some backup!"
"You called!" A new voice said. A figure came running towards Steven punching through the Heartless leaving a small trail of flames behind it. The figure had a brown robe and was smaller than Steven who recognised her voice.
'It can't.' Steven thought before the figure took off her robe confirming his suspicions. "Ruby?!"
Back in the drill
"Alright we made it." Sokka said. "Aang and Katara start cutting. Marco, you stay with them. In case any more of those creatures show up." They actually ran into a couple small groups of heartless on the way but not too many. They were easy to take care of.
"Where are you going?" Katara asked.
"I'm taking Star, Lincoln and Lana to the next brace. I think they can do something with those blades of theirs." He said motinging for the two siblings and Star to follow him. The three ran as fast as they could to the next entry. They could see the other three from where they were standing. Katara and Aang were using their water bending to cut through the metal and Marco was watching for enemies while cheering them at the same time.
"Alright. Star I need you to make some platforms similar to those you made during the serpent fight. Two on both sides and two bigger ones underneath them. Can you do that?"
"Does Marco have a crush on Jackie Lynn-Thomas?" Star asked him before realizing that Sokka doesn't know who that is.
"Star why would you say that?" Marco yelled from the other pillar.
"I'm going to say yes from his reaction." Sokka said, still a little confused.
"How did he even hear us?" Lana said.
"Who knows." Lincoln replied. "You ready Star? The clock is ticking." He looked at the blond haired girl who nodded walking a little closer to the pillar pulling out her wand forming the platforms. "
This is a pretty easy spell but even then I'm not sure how long I can actually hold it. So you two better make it fast."
"Okay." Lincoln and Lana said. Lincoln walked over to the left while Lana went to the right. They jumped to the bottom platform that is connected to the ones on the side summoning their weapons, Lincoln formed his two into the Kingdom Key for extra strength. They got into running positions and both ran as fast as they could to the opposite side using their new speed and agility to jump up the platforms and then dashing through the air bouncing between the two. Their keyblades went against the metal at first only making scratches but then quickly started making cuts that got deeper and deeper.
Now that they were inside the drill the power Lincoln was feeling is now much stronger and his headache seemed to be getting worse. He could swear he was hearing something in his head but it sounded like...static if anything. He was able to keep ignoring the pain for now but he hoped it would go away.
After what felt like hours, but was only somewhere from a half hour to an hour, both groups managed to cut completely through the two pillars. The four doing the cutting were all sweaty and tired having to catch their breath. The two groups joined back together to take a short break and regroup.
"We're doing great team." Sokka said.
"I'm sorry, who is this we?" Katara asked, slightly annoyed. Lana gave him a slight glare as well.
"I mean you guys are doing great. Now come on we have to keep going if we want to finish this before it reaches the wall." Sokka said.
"I'm not sure how many more we can do Sokka. Just doing one of them wore us out pretty good."
"We have to keep going Aang. If anything we can take turns to let the other group rest." Lincoln suggested. He then reached a hand to his head suddenly feeling much more tired. "I think I'm starting to get a headache from all the heat." He said, trying to cool down.
"Do you think you can continue?" Katara asked.
"I should be fine. But we need to cut these pillars down fast. Is there anything else we can do?"
"Star? Can you use your magic to cut these?" Lana asked.
"Well, probably but it will take a lot more energy out of me than making those platforms." She replied.
"Then we stick to the original plan. Now come on let's go." Sokka said. Just then the whole place started to shake and there was a huge grinding noise.
"Did that do it?" Lana asked.
"I don't think only cutting through two of these pillars would destroy the whole drill." Lincoln replied.
"Well it sounds like it did to me. Come let's get out of here." Sokka said.
"Lead the way oh fearless leader." Star joked.
Before the group could leave the room though a speaker turned on. "Attention all troops. We have reached the outer city wall. Prepare to invade."
"Oh no." Lincoln said forgetting that he has a headache and put a hand to his head trying to rub the pain. Just then the 'static' came back and there was something else.
'Weaken…..do-...cut….through.' The voice said. It almost sounded familiar. Where had he heard that voice before? Although he couldn't hear all the words, he understood enough to get an idea. Just then the headache seemed to slowly go away to the point that it was like it wasn't even there.
'What was that? Or more accurately, who?' Lincoln thought to himself.
"What now?" Star asked.
"I don't know. We can't cut down many more pillars before they would get through the wall." Aang said.
"Maybe we don't have to." Lincoln said.
"What?!" Everyone else.
"Are you crazy?!" Lana asked.
"Let me explain. We don't have to cut through every pillar. If we can weaken enough of them and then hit the drill with enough force from the outside we should be able to take the whole thing down."
"Just like the earthbending techniques Toph has been teaching me. If we hurry Lincoln's plan may work." Aang agreed.
"Weakening the defense. Sounds good to me."Marco said.
"I can use my magic to get the three of us to other parts of the drill." Star said, referring to herself Lincoln and Lana.
"Alright. Sokka, you and Marco stay at the main entrance and stay on look out. The five of us will take down what we can." Katara said. The others nodded going separate ways to cover more ground.
"How much time do you think we have?" Marco asked Sokka as they watched the main entrance.
"I would give us no more than an hour. Maybe a little longer if everyone outside is able to slow it down." Sokka replied when he thought he heard something. "Shhh. I think someone is coming."
The two boys got behind the edge of the door where they wouldn't be seen and hoped whoever was coming wouldn't see them. Just then a soldier came into the door thing he heard voices. When he came in he didn't see anything at first but then saw some kids in the distance cutting through the pillars! And one of them was the Avatar! He quickly turned around to alert the command post but was stopped by two other kids he didn't see when coming in. One was holding a boomerang to his neck.
"Sorry but we can't let you go back." Sokka said hitting the man on the helmet/head with his trusty boomerang. The force was strong enough that the soldier fainted and Marco was able to drag him up against the wall.
"You know I just thought of a couple things." Marco said.
"And what would that be?" Sokka asked.
"Well one I just realized that we had left one of the guys frozen in a random part of the drill, two it will only be a matter of time before we are caught because of that, and three, I'm a little surprised we haven't seen any heartless in a while." Marco replied. It was almost creepy.
Of course at that very moment several shadows and fire soldiers, or Migraines as Steven knows calls them, showed up at the entrance quickly charging the two. Sokka responded first, throwing his boomerang low to the ground, hitting a good chunk of shadows even on the way back. Marco wasted no time charging to the closest heartless and kicking a tiny heartless in the air. Many started to charge Sokka who was having to resort to bashing the creatures with his boomerang sometimes kicking some of the side of the edge.
"You know something like a sword would actually be very helpful right now." Sokka said.
"Right. I mean I like my fighting style but something like a bow staff would be nice." Marco agreed while performing a three-sixty kick. The two boys then got back to back realizing splitting up wasn't the best idea.
"Hope the others are faring better than us." Sokka said.
(Back outside with Toph Steven and now Ruby)
Ruby is still outside of Steven's shield trying to take out as many heartless as possible but the tiny, but mighty, gem was getting tired panting from the endless fighting and the running she had to do just to reach Steven.
"Ruby get in the shield! You've taken out enough." Steven said.
"Ruby reluctantly agreed, running to the shield and jumping to a hole that Steven made. He quickly closed it and sighed in relief.
"Steven! I can't believe you are here! How did you get here? Did you end up here like I did? Who is that person you are protecting? What is this-"
"Ruby!" Steven yelled, getting her attention. "One question at a time and it will have to wait. Because I am a Little busy right now." He politely reminded his friend. "Also take this. I know you took a few hits out there." The young boy said, giving Ruby a potion. She instantly felt refreshed and her strength coming back. "Before you ask anything else I have to ask. Did anyone else end up here with you?"
"Funny you should ask that." Ruby said, reaching into the pocket of the robe she was wearing. She pulled out a familiar blue gem that had a crack running from the center to one of the edges. Steven almost dropped his shield in both excitement and horror when what he saw sunk in.
"Sapphire thankfully ended up with me but her gem somehow cracked so she hasn't woken up." Ruby explained.
"Hey Steven! Sorry if I sound a little rude but who is that?" Toph asked, reminding the two of her presence.
"Sorry Toph. This is a friend of mine. She can help trust me." Steven said.
"So do you think that you can heal her?" Ruby asked quietly so that Toph couldn't hear.
"Yes. Just give me a second." Steven said. He honestly forgot about his healing abilities not having to use them in a while. Probably should have mentioned that to the others on his team. Even if it is a little gross with his spit having the healing powers. Why couldn't he have gotten his mom's healing tears?
He quickly kicked his hand and gently put his hand on the blue gem that slightly glowed and showed the crack disappearing.
"Yes! Now we just have to hope that she can wake up soon." Ruby said in excitement.
"Yep. And I hope really soon because no offense but we really need Garnet right now."
"I know what you mean." Ruby said looking at all of the heartless still trying to attack them. "Steven hold on to her. I have some pent up anger and energy to release." She said. Steven did not argue as something had to be done. He told her to be careful and gave her a way out.
"I like her. She seems like the attack first ask later kind of person." Toph said.
"Trust me she is." Steven agreed looking down at the gem in his hand. 'Come on Sapphire we need you. Ruby needs you.' Steven thought. He kept the gem in his hand as he went to focus back on the shield and Ruby. He didn't notice that the gem in his hand started to glow.
(Back in the drill)
The others inside were having as much luck as their teammates outside. Several heartless are now attacking all the groups causing Lincoln to defend Star and Lana while they continue to cut through the pillar and Aang to get rid of them as fast as possible using his air bending to send them flying over the edge leaving Katara to do her best. Thankfully not many attacked those two as the heartless seemed more focused on Lincoln's group.
Same could be said for Marco and Sokka who were fighting fairly well but were starting to tire. The heartless were coming non stop and were slowly starting to overwhelm the two. "Aang. We could use a lift if possible!" Sokka called as more enemies appeared. Aang heard his friends call and quickly got rid of the few heartless left on the platform that he and Katara just started. (Despite the enemies attacking them both groups have managed to weaken a good number of pillars both before and after they showed up.) He then got on his glider and flew down to the other two boys landing next to them but leaving out his glider. He did the same as before knocking a good chunk of heartless back to give them some space.
"Hop on." Aang said as each of them got on the glider, Marco silently praying for his dear life knowing what was about to happen. "Hold on." The Avatar said as he jumped down to get the air he needed.
"Marco I'm sending you to help Lincoln. Sokka you are with me and Katara."
"Got it." Both boys replied. Aang used his air breath attack to knock down a good chunk of heartless for Lincoln before getting low enough for Marco to jump off so Aang and Sokka could get back to Katara.
"Hey Lincoln." Marco said, shaking of his dizziness. He then got into a fighting stance ready to defend his girlfrien- I mean best friend. I meant to say best friend.
"Hey Marco. Glad you can join us." Lincoln replied. He was using both of his keyblades saving his energy to use the kingdom key. Now that he had back up he thought now would be a good time to do just that. He used strike-raid on both keyblades cutting through half a dozen heartless and the light from the two forming took out a couple more and weakened others. "Let's do this." The white haired boy said.
(In the Command Post)
Azula was keeping a calm expression on the outside, but on the inside she could not be happier. She was about to accomplish what her grandfather failed. Conquering Ba Sing Se. Nothing could ruin this mom-
"Sir we found one of our men frozen in ice. His schematics are missing."
"Sure someone has cut through the pillars. The weapon has been compromised." Several soldiers were reporting incidents, most saying something about intruders. The commander did not dare look at Azula afraid of what would happen.
"Come on girls. Seems we have to clean up this mess ourselves. The princess said talking to Mie and Ty Lee. "I have a feeling I know who these intruders are." As the three walked out of the command post.
(Back to the characters we actually care about)
Our heroes finally got to a point that seemed good enough for Aang to deliver the final blow Most of the heartless were taken out now and the others seemed to retreat.
"Yeah you better run. The power of the boomerang is too much for you." Sokka said. The others just rolled their eyes at the boy from the water tribe. They all joined back together to continue the next part of the plan.
"Why did the other heartless retreat?" Lana asked.
"We scared them off, that's why." Sokka said cockily.
Just then Lincoln felt the headache coming back. "Uh. No, I don't think that's why. I think there is something else. Meaning we need to get out of here." Lincoln said. He couldn't explain it but he had a feeling. That power he kept feeling now seemed stronger than before and he was worried.
"Lincoln's right we need to go." Aang agreed, walking to the front of the group.
'Look…..to…..left!...left!' The voice in Lincoln's head came back trying to warn him of something. He looked up to the left of him at the other platforms just as a half dozen knives came towards them! "Look out!" He yelled as he quickly summoned his keyblades and with quick speed deflected four of them as they weren't that spread out. Aang used his bending to stop the other two that were aimed at him specifically.
"Woah. You were right Azula. It is the Avatar. And his friends." Ty Lee said. The group looked up to see Ty Lee, Mie, and Azula above them all looking ready for battle. The last comment from Ty Lee seemed to be aimed at Sokka who blushed and waved at her.
"Dude didn't you just reunite with your girlfriend?" Lana asked. Referring to Sukie. Sokka looked embarrassed but decided to ignore the six year old for now.
"Now's not the time! We have to go." Katara said as the group ran for the exit. The last two to exit were Sokka and Marco making sure their friends got out first. Azula and her team gave chase trying to catch up.
"Alright. Aang you go to the right. There should be an exit to get you to the top. Lincoln and Lana go with him. The rest of us will try to distract them." Sokka said as they got to a split pathway.
"Wait. You will need this more than I will." Katara said, handing Aang her water pouch.
"We can't waste anymore time. So let's go." Sokka said. He, Katara, Star, and Marco went to the left as Lincoln, Aang, and Lana went to the right.
"So how are we going to do this?" Lincoln asked.
"When we get to the top I'm going to make a spot to hit the drill. Remember all those rocks the generals men have for their defense? I'll use that for the final blow."
"So what do we do?" Lana asked.
"Keep any enemies off of me. I need to get through this as fast as possible."
"Understood." The two siblings said ready for whatever will come their way.
While the team split up Azula's team went in opposite directions as well. Mie and Ty Lee after Sokka's group and Azula after Aang.
"So where are we going?" Marco asked.
"Trying to find a way out. We need to be clear from here when Aang gets his job done."
"Aw. But you're going to miss all the fun." A voice said behind the group. Marco looked behind himself to see Ty Lee gaining on them! Mie wasn't that far behind. Ty Lee caught up to Marco, who was behind the others, and tried to land a hit on his back only for Marco to suddenly do a backflip over the taller girl causing her to trip and fall.
"You guys head on without me! I'll catch up!" Marco said. He felt he had no choice but to face Ty Lee. Mie knew what was about to happen and gave chase to the rest of the group. "Hope you're ready to fight kid. Cause you just signed your death wish." Was her parting words to Marco as a sort of warning.
"What does that mean?" Marco asked confused and slightly confused.
"Ow you made a big mistake kid. I thought you were kinda cute….but now that doesn't matter." Ty Lee said with a frown. She is very proud of her Chi Blocking skills and very rarely does anyone dodge her attacks when they aren't the Avatar. Or cause her to fall for that matter. Now she had to beat this kid. She quickly got back up and charged Marco. She made several strikes towards his weak points, elbow, shoulder, or even just a clean hit to the stomach, but the boy just kept counter/blocking them while being pushed back.
Marco tried to attack back but compared to the other teenager he was very inexperienced. He was a red belt but that almost meant nothing against this girl. The gymnastics moves she uses didn't help either. She kept flipping over him and bouncing off the walls trying to get an opening. And the cartwheels were annoying. Marco could barely keep up. He was forced to stay on the defensive thinking what to do next.
"Hmmm. Your defense is actually pretty good. Keeping up this long. So how about this? I'll let you get one good hit on me. Just see what you can do" Ty Lee said as the two got at a stand still.
"Really?" Marco asked in disbelief. "You're not going to block it or anything?"
"Well as long as you don't aim for the face….or just below." Ty Lee said with a smirk. Marco just blushed at that comment trying not to sputter or say something stupid. "Aw. Don't tell me you're scared to hit a lady." She teased having too much fun with this. 'This kid is almost cuter than that Sokka boy.' She thought.
Marco finally calmed down, his face no longer the shade of tomato. "I'm not. I just...wasn't expecting that. So are we going to continue this?" He asked.
"You first shorty." Ty Lee giggled. The two then got into their respective fighting stances as Marco got an idea. He realized a little bit ago that the way his friends went was the path behind him. He made sure to keep track. If he could get a good hit on her he could get a head start and catch up with the others.
Marco then just stood straight up with his arms crossed no longer in his stance. "Oh hey guys. I see you came back for me." He said calmly.
"What!?" Ty Lee yelled, turning around. She didn't see anyone behind her but before she could turn back to Marco she suddenly felt her legs kicked from under her causing her to go into the air. She then saw Marco's foot hitting her right in the stomach sending her bouncing on the floor several feet. Marco took his chance and ran as fast as he could hoping Ty Lee wouldn't get back up.
He kept running his adrenaline the only thing keeping him going. He ran into a dead end that had a giant pump that led to what looked like a sewer but it was a mix of water and earth. "They went down there didn't they?" Marco asked himself.
"They did." a voice beside him said.
"Ahhh!" He screamed looking to his left. He saw Mie next to him just….standing there? "How long have you been standing there? And aren't you going to stop me?"
"I could honestly care less. Your friends already escaped and I'm not going down there. So leave before I either change my mind or Ty Lee catches back up to you." The teeanger warned. Marco didn't argue and quickly jumped down into the drain hopping to catch the others. Ty Lee had gotten back up and caught up just in time to see Marco jumped down the pipe and Mie was standing there.
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"He took me by surprise. How did he get away from you?" She countered.
"...Never speak of this. So are you following?"
"Azula can shoot all the lightning she wants at me. I'm not going down there." Mie said.
"Okay your choice." Ty Lee said with a smile jumping down.
Marco was being carried by the...would you call this a current? Either way the water was carrying very fast and was a little fun he admit, but just then he thought he heard a splash and turned his head around to see Ty Lee had also jumped in and was trying to gain on him.
"Oh come on!" Marco exclaimed. He kept going down , finally seeing the exit. He was about to cheer until he realized that he was falling face first to the ground! "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Marco screamed his voice very high pitched.
Suddenly he was stopped by a pink bubble and slowly lowered to the ground. He looked up and saw Star used her wand to catch him.
"About time you caught up." Sokka said.
"Ty Lee is right behind me." Marco said not missing a beat. Katara looked up and saw that Ty Lee was almost caught up with them. Katara used her water bending to push her and all the water back clogging the giant pipe.
"Katata keep that up. The pressure will cause the whole thing to blow when Aang finishes his job."
"Need any help?" Toph asked, walking up to them. Behind her was Steven and someone else the others didn't know.
"Toph, this water has parts of the wall in it. It's made of earth too. Help me push it back." Katara said, focusing on the task on hand.
"Hey Steven who is that?" Star asked, pointing to the tall woman with hair in the shape of a square.
"Oh right this is Garnet. She's a friend of mine from my wo...I mean home." Steven quickly corrected.
"Nice to meet you all." Garnet said.
"Is there anything we can do?" Steven asked.
"Star and I can stay here with Sokka, Toph, and Katara. You two go see if Aang, Lincoln, and Lana need help." Marco said. Just then the ground shook like there was an earthquake.
"Something tells me you were right." Garnet said. She grabbed Steven and jumped up to the top of the drill.
"That was so cool." Star said. Just then heartless appeared behind them. Marco noticed first and alreated the others.
"Let's go." Sokka said.
(Back with Lincoln's group just before Marco and Ty Lee's fight)
Aang, Lincoln, and Lana just made it to the top of the drill, running to the wall stopping a few feet from the wall to make sure they had enough space.
"This looks like a good spot. Lincoln, Lana keep an eye out for the heartless or Azula. She most likely followed us." Aang said as he used his water bending to start cutting through the metal. "What I wouldn't give to be a metal bender." He said to himself.
"Is there anything else we can do?" Lana asked.
"You can step aside and let me take care of the Avatar." Came the voice of Azula. All three turned around to see the teenager behind them and slowly walking towards them. Aang walked in front of his team mates to protect him.
*Dramatic bell sound plays in in the background* DING!
"Did anyone else hear that?"
"Hear what?" Lana asked.
"Nevermind." Lincoln sighed. "And we won't do that!" Lincoln said, getting back on track.
"You know when the soldiers said that our weapon had been breached I was fully expecting the Avatar. But I did not expect to see you two so soon." Azula said with a grin. By this point Aang had stopped cutting the metal ready to fight Azula.
"Why would you be expecting us?" Lana asked.
"Well I can't spoil all the fun now can I? But I will say that while I plan to kill the Avatar. I will spare you if you get out of my way. You're needed alive anyways." Looking at Azula, Lincoln realized she was the overwhelming force he kept feeling. 'Need to be careful around her.' Lincoln thought.
"We aren't moving an inch!" Lincoln replied. He and Lana both stepped in front of Aang again to defend him. Meanwhile the headache was back and with it the voice.
'Be caref…..she has been….tak….ov….by….darkness…...gia….tless….above you!' The voice was a lot more clear now and while it kept breaking he got the last part of the message. Lincoln also realized where he heard the voice from.
"What?" Lincoln said to himself. Looking up just in time to see a giant heartless falling from the sky! It landed to the right of the machine. Its arms looked like they were made of paper, it had two feet with each leg looking like it was split in half, hands made of claws, and its head made out of several eyes stacked on top of each other. In each hand it held a torch and the heartless juggled them like a clown. The torches then caught on fire as it kept throwing them! It was just taller than the drill most of the faces within jumping range.
"Well if you two aren't going to comply then I will force you!" She yelled, laughing evilly.
"Didn't see that coming!" Lana yelled.
"How do we fight that thing?!" Aang yelled.
"Oh you won't fight it Avatar. Those two' Azula said pointing at Lincoln and Lana, 'will only delay the inevitable while I take you on myself."
"Do you really think you can separate us?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes I do actually." Azula smirked. She then fired a blast of blue fire causing Lana and Lincoln to move out of the way and Aang to stop it with his waterbending. She then bolted straight towards the Avatar catching all three of guard. Aang tried to use his airbending but Azula doged reaching Aang and kicked him in the gut. He was sent back against the wall and before Lana or Lincoln could react both were grabbed by their clothes and thrown back to the giant heartless.
"Aang!" Lincoln and Lana shouted.
"You should be worrying about yourselves." Azula warned, turning back to Aang.
"So do you have any plans?" Lana asked.
"Uhhh. Don't get hit." Lincoln said. He was trying to come up with something but right now he wasn't sure how they were going to be able to even hit this thing. The obvious part was aiming for the faces but the creature wasn't going to let them reach it that easily. Before the two could make a move the heartless crossed the torches, the fire seeming to burn brighter before it swung both torches sending a giant fireball straight towards them!
Lincoln grabbed Lana by her hoodie and jumped out of the way as the fireball went over the drill by an inch hitting the sand on the other side. If the two siblings were able to look where it hit they would see some of the sand had turned to glass.
"Didn't see that coming." Lana said.
"Lana stay back an-"
"I thought we agreed I wouldn't stay back in fights?"
"Well technically I said to stay close to me. And I was going to say stay back and watch my back as I find an opening." Lincoln said.
"Oh. My bad." Lana said sheepishly. Lincoln then ran towards the heartless as it was raising its torches again looking like it was about to slam them against the metal. Lincoln ran right in the middle leaping for the faces and managing to get in a couple air combos. The heat from the torches forced him to retreat as the heartless brought them closer trying to hit Lincoln like he was a fly.
"The heat is almost too much." Lincoln said to Lana.
"Try telling that to Aang." Lana said. Lincoln looked over for a couple seconds and saw Aang having to dodge left and right from Azula's blue fire.
"We have our own problem!" Lincoln yelled as one of the torches came down again. The two siblings ran as fast as they could dodging the flames. The two caught their breath trying to come up with a plan to get closer, or anything to reach from afar.
"I could use that blizzard spell. I almost got it to work back on the ship." Lana said. "But I'm going to need time to charge up my magic." Lincoln thought about her idea and realized they didn't have too much else to go one.
"I'll distract it. You get ready." Lincoln agreed, running to the heartless. He jumped for the faces again, keeping its attention on him. "That's all you got!" He taunted.
Lana backed away as far as she could to charge her magic. She could feel the power going to the keyblade which had a slightly colder feel to it. "Lincoln I'm almost ready! Get out of the way!"
"Alright!" He said running back to his sister after dodging another fireball. Lana kept her keyblade pointed at the heartless ready to fire as soon as Lincoln was by her side.
"Freeze!" She yelled. At first nothing seemed to happen but then her keyblade sent out a huge blast of ice that split into several pieces all hitting the heartless in the arms or face. The force from the spell made Lana slide back a couple inches while the heartless screamed in pain from the blast of the ice.
"Good job sis!" Lincoln exclaimed, happy that they found a way to do more damage. Suddenly the temperature changed from very hot to very, very cold. The two siblings looked back and saw the torches are now covered in ice! The heartless then swung them towards the siblings. Unfortunately neither of them expected it to react so quickly and the next thing they knew the torches were coming down so fast they couldn't move out of the way!
'Look out!' The voice in Lincoln's head warned. Though Lana obviously didn't hear the voice she saw the torches as well and quickly got in front of Lincoln and made one her barriers. The two braced themselves for the coming impact but before the torch could reach them something jumped in front of them and a pink shield.
"Huh? Steven?! How did you get up here?" Lana asked, letting the barrier down.
"With some help from me friend Garnet." Steven pointed to said gem.
"What's up?" Garnet greeted.
"So is she one of your friends that you mentioned Steven?"
"Yep. Glad to see you remember." Steven grinned while still holding the shield against the heartless.
"Steven go help your friend over there." Garnet pointed to Aang. "I will help these two." She said, fixing her shades.
"Alright. Be careful you guys." Steven lowered his shield as the torches reeled back. He quickly ran to Aang who Azula was holding against the wall. Said boy looked unconscious. Steven ran as fast as he could sliding under Azula's legs and summoning his shield stopping Azula's fiery fist.
"You will pay for that." Azula snarked, not at all pleased for the interruption.
"Aang I hope you're awake!" Steven yelled to the boy who is now trying to gather his bearings.
"Thanks Steven." Aang said. "Keep her busy and I'll finish the plan."
"Alright." Steven said. He pushed Azula back and then Aang used his bending to knock her back further but before any of them could continue the water and earth mix from the pipes came out from all the different sections of drill caused from the pressure Katara and Toph had made. This caused all of them to become covered in mud and slip. Steven grabbed Aang and kept him from falling down the side while Azula slid down the drill using her shoes to stop herself. Aang went back to getting the hit spot while Steven was on guard duty.
Back with Lincoln
The group of three are now having a very important debate while still fighting the giant Heartless. Which is more dangerous to fight? Ice or fire? Because right now the three are testing that theory. Because after being hit with the ice spell it switched from using fire to now the torches are covered in ice and Lincoln, Lana, and Garnet are having to dodge giant icicles that formed the closer any of them got to the creature.
"What are we supposed to do guys?" Lana asked as she made a barrier around herself. The group was making some progress with Lincoln using Strike Raid and Garnet getting a few punches in but was still taking too long.
"We need to find an opening. Lincoln responded. With 'Use the keychain. It should help you.' The voice in Lincoln's head said.
"Keychain?" Lincoln asked himself. He then remembered the keychain that somehow ended up in his pocket before they got to the wall. He pulled it out and quickly switched the keychains on his Brother's Key. In a flash of light both keyblades changed looking identical. The handles looked like the ends of Aang's staff and the main color for the blades was brown. The hand guards had an orange tint along with the top edges that looked like a mini version of the wings for Aang's staff in glider mode. "These feel much stronger than the previous blades."
"Uh, Lincoln how did you do that?"
"I'll explain later. For now just make sure to keep dodging those icicles. We don't have many potions left." 'Question now is how will these new blades help me?" Lincoln thought.
'Try combing your blades like you did before.' The voice in his head said. 'I haven't heard this voice so clear since that night.' Lincoln thought. "Who are you? And why are you in my head?"
'I'll explain later. For now just do what I say.' The voice replied. Lincoln nodded in reply not having much of a choice at this point. He threw his blades, the two forming a bright light. Lincoln held out his hand to summon the new blade the two should have formed but this transformation was different. Instead of appearing in his hand a glider flew back to him that looked much like Aang's but still in the color scheme of the two keyblades. The bottom had two spots to put Lincoln's feet while the wings had the handles for his hands. He quickly closed the wings and saw the top had both heads of the keyblades on each side. It was almost like a staff or a better yet a long double edge sword.
"Cool, I have a glider now." Lincoln said out loud.
'Perfect. That's just what we need. Hope you can fly it.' The voice said.
"And how would I do that?"
'That Garnet girl could probably give a strong enough boost to get in the air.'
"Alright. Garnet!" Lincoln yelled to the Gem. He unfolded the wings to the glider again preparing to get on.
"Say no more." She said quickly, running to the Loud child. Lincoln grabbed the handles and ran towards Garnet too. He jumped as high as he could balancing on the glider as Garnet caught him by the feet and through him as far as she could.
Lincoln almost felt like he was on a roller coaster as he started to dive but pulled up to stay in the air. He started to fly around the heartless like a plane flying around Godzilla. He looked for any weak spots and then got an idea. He swerved closer to the giant aiming for its paper like arms, the heads of the keyblades still usable. He went right above the arm cutting straight through it. It wasn't cut off of course but he could tell it actually did some damage. He circled around about three more times and hit it as many times.
'Get behind it and try your fire spell.' The voice said.
"How? I could barely make a spark before."
'Channel your energy. Your weapons are a part of you. Think of how Lana did it.'
"We really need to talk after this." Lincoln replied. He was able to get enough air under him that he flew above the giant's head. His glider went back to blade form and he was somehow staying in the air. He imagined charging his keyblade trying to concentrate, which admittedly was a little hard when you're twenty plus feet in the air. He took a deep breath and hoped this would work.
"Fire!"
While Lincoln was flying around Aang and Steven were almost ready to finish the plan. The General's guards had been throwing rocks down at the drill, seriously how were they expecting that to work? Steven thought at one point. Aang used one of the rocks to make a type of stake right on the 'x'. Steven the gave Aang a boost with his shield giving the Avatar an extra push to climb the wall. Right as Aang used his airbending to launch himself downwards, Lincoln casted his fire spell at the giant heartless the attacks hitting at the same time. Meaning that the drill and the heartless were destroyed at the exact same moment. More of the mud from the drill exploded now covering everything as the heartless screamed in defeat releasing a giant heart as it the darkness faded from it.
"Yes! We did it!" Lana yelled in excitment as Lincoln used the glider to land next to her. Said glider transformed back to it's two keyblades.
"We sure did Lana. We sure did. And you were amazing with that ice spell.
"Thanks but don't cut yourself short. That fire spell was amazing. Oh, and you were amazing to Garnet."
"Thanks. You too, both of you." Garnet replied with a smirk.
"And thank you sis. Come on let's go check on the others." The three ran over to Steven and Aang, you seemed to have one more problem to deal with.
"Ha. Did you really think you could beat me that easily?" Azula remarked to the two boys. Her hair was messed up and she seemed warned out but that wouldn't stop her.
"Well honestly you weren't as much of a challenge as I was expecting." Steven taunted.
"Why you little bra-oh I see what you're trying to do. I'm afraid making me mad won't work for you. I am a fire bender after all." She smirked as she walked towards the Avatar and Steven. "So any last words before I kill you!?"
"Yeah look behind you." Aang replied letting his guard down.
"...As if I would fall for something like th-" But Azula was cut off suddenly having a blade across her neck, Lincoln's blade, and she could feel one behind her back, Lana blade.
"You have lost." Was the last thing Azula heard before Garnet knock her out with her gloved fist and then letting her slide of the drill with the mud. Don't worry it was feet first. And Garnet already used her future vision to make sure she would die.
"Thanks Garnet. Perfect timing as always." Steven grinned.
"Oh, come here Steven. I missed you." Steven then ran into Garnet's arms trying not to cry too much.
"So what do we do know?" Lana asked. The group started to walk to the other end of the drill to check on Star, Marco, Katara, Toph, and Sokka. About half way down Lincoln and Lana both felt something. It didn't seem to be bad but at the same time they weren't sure what it was. Both stopped in there tracks and looked back it the wall confusing the others.
Just then a bright light came from the wall and said light formed what looked like a giant...keyhole? Both sibling's blades suddenly seemed to appear on their own accord and almost like a magnet was pulled towards the keyhole. When both Loud's were holding their blades straight across they begone to glow and then a cluster of Stars circled around them. Finally two bright beams of light came out of the keyblades and straight into the keyhole making what sounded like a locking sound. The keyhole vanished and the siblings looked at each other confused.
"What just happened?" Marco asked. Him and the others also came to check on Lincoln and the others after the heartless they were fighting were either destroyed or left when their numbers got weak. Having almost unlimited water and unlimited earth made the battle almost one sided. If they didn't keep coming they may have been able to help the others.
"We're not exactly sure." Lincoln responded scratching the back of his head.
"How did you manage to fight of that giant creature and destroy the drill?" Katara asked.
"Yeah. Don't leave out any details. I felt how huge that thing was and that was with me standing on sand and not solid ground." Toph said. If those from Lincoln's team didn't know better, they would have thought she sounded impressed.
"You may want to sit down for this?" Steven said grinning.
Lincoln on the other hand was thinking about something else. 'Just who are you?' He thought in his head. Just as he hoped the voice responded.
'You'll want to wait until you're back on the ship for a full explanation. And heads up, I don't know everything either.'
'Can I at least know your name? You've helped with so much ever since my home.'
'...my name is Liberty.'
And finally done! I am so sorry this took so long guys. It was supposed to come out a lot faster but I kept getting stuff in my way. So happy later holidays and happy New Year! I'm glad I was at least able to post this for the new year.
So I want to clear up a few things. This may just be me but if anything felt rushed or sudden there is a reason for that. What I am talking about specifically is the reappearance of Garnet and the introduction of Liberty. 1) Garnet was suppose to be in the previous chapter...in a way. My original idea was that Ruby's gem was going to be found at the Serpents Pass and Sapphire's in this Chapter. But since I forgot about Ruby I had Garnet come in this chapter. 2) Liberty is a sort of OC that will play a big part in this and future stories. I can give too much away about her without spoiling the story, but let's just say that I have always like the headcannon of Sora from Kingdom Hearts being able to talk to those connected to his hear. Much like Garnet she was suppose to be hinted at in the previous chapter but I once again forgot. That is all I can say about her without any spoilers.
Also part of the reason this chapter took so long was because it took me forever to decide how to do the boss. Speaking of the boss, this is a version of the Trickmaster from the first game. In the game it only uses fire but since this was Avatar I decided it could use two elements. As of right now I don't have names for Lincoln's new keyblades. And if your wandering about Lana, don't worry she gets a new one next chapter.
