Chapter Three: Sokka and Everybody Else
Lightning split a darkening sky in two as the wind picked up and the rain poured down. The crystal pendant floated or more of hovered, in front of Amaya as she raised her face to the sky. The fire bender just stared at her with eyes wide with fear. All of the sudden…"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" A somewhat girlish scream echoed around the clearing, breaking Amaya's concentration and making the storm cease for a moment.
"HHHEEEEELLLLP! MY ASS IS ON FIRE! MY ASS IS ON FIRE! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HHHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!" A boy in blue ran through the clearing with a certain fire bender close behind shooting random bursts of flame at the retreating, still screaming, person.
"Weeeellllllllll. That was interesting." Said Desda staring after the couple. The fire bender, who was also staring after the receding pair, had finally snapped out of his curiosity and resumed his attack on our OCs.
"Uhhh Amaya, do ya think you could, ya know, start up again with the lightning and the rain and th-th-the freaky-stormy-thing!" Brae asked backing away from the fire bender.
"I-I-I don't know how!" Panicking, Amaya answered quickly while desperately trying to make the crystal work. "uuuummmmmmmmm not to rush you or anything but he is still shooting at us!" Des yelled backing into a tree. Out of nowhere, as Des put her hands to block the on coming attack fire bursts shot out of, not the fire bender's hands, but Desda's! The fire bender blocked the assault with barely any effort, giving Amaya time enough to figure out how to work the crystal. Everyone blocked their eyes as a great rush of dark purple and golden yellow color and light erupted form the crystal around Amaya's neck. The wind picked up again and, again, another storm started. This time however strikes of lightning weren't just random shots, these were now aimed at the petrified fire bender.
"RRRRREEEEEETTTTRRRREEEEEEAAAAATTTT!" the fire bender that had run through a few minutes ago chasing the boy in blue was now running back in the opposite direction the other bender close on his heels. A great shadow passed overhead and they looked up to see a…well, they didn't really know what it was. It was big, it was hairy, and people were riding it! A girl, also dressed in blue, a bald boy with a strange arrow on his head, and a boy in blue with a funny ponytail thing who, if I remember correctly, had his ass on fire, were placed atop the giant, flying 'thing', screaming and cheering. Then the boy whose ass was on fire (not anymore, it had been extinguished) hopped off the strange thingy as he helped the girl down while the dude with the arrow on his head floated down on a poofy/fluffy cloud of air accompanied by a weird, funky lookin' monkey thing with big ears.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you peoples! I have absolutely no idea who the hell you are, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" screamed Desda as she ran over and somewhat tackled the dude in blue with the funky ponytail.
"Get offa me! Katara, HELP! Get….her….OFFFFFF!" Yelled the boy between trying to shove her off of him.
"Des! Des, sit! Sit girl!" Amaya and Braeden yelled
"Oh…sorry. Tell me again why I even listen to you at all?" Des said standing up and brushing off her denim cut-off jean shorts.
"Thanks" said the boy with the ponytail thing standing up.
"No prob. She can kinda be a bit crazy sometimes, and occasionally thinks she's a linebacker for some football team, but she's not usually this dramatic." Amaya said, "Hi, I'm Amaya. And this is Braeden. Oh, and the one who tackled you is Desdemona, or Des for short." Amaya said walking over to shake hands.
"Oh, uh, I'm Aang, this is-"
"Katara." The girl interrupted while shaking hands with Amaya.
"………"
"Sokka! Wake up!" Katara smacked him upside the head.
"Ow! Ohh, I'm uhhhhhhhhhhh, Sokka! Yeah." The funny ponytail boy said.
"How hard did you have to think about that? Did it hurt?" asked the boy formerly introduced as Aang.
"Ok a couple things I've got to ask where are we, why can they do funky power things and I can't, and what is THAT!" Brae asked as he pointed to the huge, fuzzy, creature thing that they rode in on.
"This is somewhere in the Earth Kingdom," Sokka began, "they can do those things probably because they're benders, and that, is Appa, Aang's flying bison. Oh, and that ball of fluff over there is Momo."
"Earth Kingdom, Amaya is that the same as being on regular Earth, or did we somehow end up on Pluto or somewhere?" Des wondered out loud.
"I have no idea…" Amaya answered exasperated.
"……What's a bender?" asked Braeden, still extremely confused.
"You know, a bender…water, fire, earth, and well, Aang…is that ringing' any bells, any at all? Katara, you show him." Sokka said knocking on Brae's head.
"……." Brae was now even more as confused as ever.
Katara used some water from her canteen and did some weird thing that resulted in her whipping Sokka in the face with water
"KATARA! NOT AT ME! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS AIM AT ME! WHY CAN'T YOU EVER AIM FOR AANG OR, OR, OR…MOMO OR SOMEBODY?" Sokka yelled. At the sound of his name being mentioned, Momo looked up from the food he was gorging himself on. As soon as he realized that he wasn't needed, he went back to stuffing his face.
"That's a water whip! Ummmmm an this is something," Aang got on top of Appa, spun his arms around in a circle, jumped from Appa to a newly formed ball of air and proceeded to fly around in circles while riding the ball of air.
"HE CA FLY! HE CAN FLY! HE CAN FLY!" Des shouted to the song from Peter Pan, while jumping up and down, her long, mid-back length, once beautiful brown, now, still brown, but with electric blue streaks, bouncing around behind her.
"Dude, do you know where the nearest McDonald's is?" asked Brae.
"McDonald's….what's that?" Sokka asked confused.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MCDONALD'S IS? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Brae was practically screaming.
"BRAE! I'm sure that there is nothing 'wrong' with them. We're not exactly back home ya know." Amaya said punching him in the shoulder. All of the sudden, the sound of trumpets filled the air.
"What the…?" muttered Sokka running towards the sound everyone else close in tow.
