AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

MEETS

THE TEEN TITANS

CHAPTER 1

"You won't escape from me this time, Avatar!" Prince Zuko yelled as he hurled fire at the Avatar.

"Stop calling me that! Why can't you call me 'Aang' for once?" Aang asked as he summoned a blast of wind to counter the prince's attack.

"Hurry, Aang! Zuko's crew is coming!" Katara called.

"I'll hold them off!" Sokka said in a deep voice, very unlike his own.

"Sokka, please, there must be at least twenty firebenders out there," Katara sighed as she held onto her foolish brother's collar. Katara and Sokka were waiting for Aang in Aang's flying bison, Oppa. Aang motioned his arms into an X and thrust them out, causing a gust of wind to blow him back and the firebenders in the opposite direction. Aang crashed straight into Oppa's giant square saddle with a light thud.

"Come on…Yip, yip, Oppa!" Sokka shouted as he held onto the bison's reins to steer. Oppa let out a roar that sounded like a definite moan and started to pump his tail. Dust started to fly around the Fire Nation ship and Oppa jumped off the side of the boat. The firebenders looked down to see Oppa glide up and carry the Avatar and the Water Tribe siblings away.

"They got away again!" Zuko stormed.

"Do not worry, Prince Zuko," the retired general, Zuko's trainer and uncle, Iro said. "We will catch up to them later, but now, we can have some lunch." Uncle Iro sat down and looked sleepily at his nephew.

"No lunch. Set a course on the Avatar now!" Zuko shouted.

"Can I at least have some tea?" Uncle Iro asked.

"Fine, bring my uncle some tea," Zuko ordered, exasperated. A firebender brought Uncle Iro some Jasmine Tea.

"Ah, one of my favorites," Uncle Iro smiled. He started to sip the tea rapidly, leaving Zuko with a quick look. It was one of those looks that said: How are you related to me?

"They're hot on our trail!" Katara announced.

"Aw, man! They decide to attack us right when it's lunch time!" Sokka sighed. He had a bunch of nuts and berries out in front of him.

"The Fire Nation's going to capture us and all you could think about is food?" Katara shouted.

"Well, Mo Mo's thinking about food too," Sokka pointed out. Mo Mo, a flying leamer that the friends had found in an Air Temple—Aang's used-to-be home a hundred years ago—was biting a nut that looked like a rock.

"This isn't working," Zuko said, rubbing his chin. His ship was a couple miles away from the bison and was a large amount of feet under. "Maybe we should try a different approach," he said thoughtfully, "aim for the girl!"

"Katara, look out!" Sokka called as fire started to hit where Katara was. Katara screamed as he jumped out of the way. Oppa groaned as if to say "not again." The others tried to pat the smoke from Oppa's fur as Aang tried to steer. More fire balls hit and this time, Oppa was forced to the left and down a couple feet.

"Katara!" Sokka and Aang shouted together at the top of their lungs, but their cries were drown out by Katara's terrified scream. Aang quickly took out a wooden staff. Red paper wings popped out of the sides as Aang adjusted it onto his back.

"What are you doing?" Sokka asked urgently as if Aang were crazy.

"There are tons of fire and firebenders down there!" Sokka quickly took the reins as Aang jumped off Oppa. This was his entire fault. He shouldn't have let this happen. He started to glide after Katara as fire aimed at him. That's weird. They're not aiming for Katara, Aang thought as he dodged another flame. He knew that the attacks were slowing him down; he'd never make it to Katara in time.

"Oh, no," Katara whispered as she closed her eyes. Fifteen feet below her was Zuko and his band of firebenders waiting for her. She wasn't in the right position to do any waterbending, she was totally defenseless. She felt herself being caught, but not from the top. Aang couldn't have reached her. Katara suddenly felt a cloth tightened around her mouth. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw that Aang had landed.

"Mng!" Katara said in a muffled voice. She didn't want Aang caught just because of her. If he was captured by Zuko, then there would be no chance of the war to end. The Fire Nation would win over the Earth Kingdoms, just like they did in the Water Tribes and Air Temples.

"Well, well, well, Avatar. Looks like we have your little friend here," Zuko smirked.

"Let Katara go," Aang said in a clear and serious voice.

"We will let her go if you turn yourself in," Zuko said calmly.

"Fine," Aang surrendered as he slowly walked over to Zuko. At the same time, Katara's gag was removed and she was pushed away. Aang looked behind Zuko's shoulder and smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" Zuko demanded. Aang ducked, and as Zuko turned, he was knocked over by Oppa.

"Wah-hoo!" Sokka cried as Oppa made a swift turn. He, Katara and their animal companions battled the crew of firebenders as Aang and Zuko went face to face.

"Lucky break," Zuko growled. He and Aang circled each other, waiting for someone to make a move.

"IT pays to have friends, of course, I'm sure you wouldn't understand," Aang said back.

"Yah!" Zuko shouted as he unleashed the most powerful firebending attack he knew.

"Ha!" Aang cried as he shot and equally powerful airbending attack. The attacks finally hit each other after a necessary slow motion scene. A light started to shine, and the two enemies gazed at it, speechless. Even the allies of the enemies had stopped fighting to gaze at the sight.

"What the--?" Zuko started, but the light flashed, and they all blacked out.

"Oh, what happened?" Aang asked in a couple seconds after he had woken up.

"I-I don't remember a thing," Katara said as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Yeah, all I remember is that blinding light and then, nothing" Sokka agreed. The friends took this time to look at their surroundings. They saw water, water and more water. It was sparkling faintly and buildings reflected on it.

"Well, this place sure would be good to practice waterbending," Katara smiled a little. Sokka turned around and his mouth fell open.

"Aah, oh, my. Uh, Aang?" he squeaked as he tapped Aang on the shoulder. Aang and Katara turned around and their mouths flew open. There was a giant-sized T towering in front of them.

"Well, uh, I guess people here like letters," Aang remarked.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Are you sure you don't want to play, Raven?" Robin asked. He and the other Titans were playing a game of Volleyball, and Raven was facing the setting sun, eyes closed.

"Positive," Raven replied in her mono-tone voice. Robin shrugged and turned to the others. He gave them a look that said Help-me-get-her-to-play.

"Come, Raven! Together, we will be victorious against Beast Boy and Cyborg!" Starfire smiled.

"Can't, need to meditate," Raven said, with a little more feeling.

"Come on, Raven! You work too hard! I mean, even Robin, the Boy Detective takes a break, even though he's so obsessed with getting Slade. Why don't you ever have fun?" Beast Boy said. Robin glared at Beast Boy, though it wasn't just because of the Robin remark.

"Hey, leave her alone, man," Cyborg muttered to Beast Boy, though it was loud enough for Raven to hear it. Raven opened her eyes and looked at the setting sun. She listened to the soft chirping of birds down on the island, the waves splashing the shores from the bay…A terrified squeal? Raven could've sworn she heard something down on the island. I guess it was just my mind playing tricks on me, Raven thought and she sighed, again

"I think I hear some noises up there," Aang said, getting his glider out.

"Aang, what if there are firebenders up there, and even if their not, then what if they're crazy?" Sokka asked. "I mean, they live in a giant T for crying out loud!"

"And what if they're nice friendly people who could help us get home?" Katara asked. Sokka didn't have anything to say, so Aang stepped back a couple feet and ran. He jumped, snapped his legs together and a gust of wind shot from underneath him. He flew up, not knowing that five super powered teens were up there.

Raven knew that she heard some wind whistle by, but there was no physical effect. She got out of her meditation position and started to walk near the edge of the tower.

"Are you gonna play with us, Raven?" Robin asked. He saw that she was up. Raven didn't answer; she was five feet away from the edge.

"Quit giving us the cold shoulder, Raven!" Beast Boy exclaimed, but Raven was still silent.

"Is Raven possessed with an evil force!" Starfire shouted in alarm. Suddenly, a boy on a red kite-like glider with lightly shaded blue arrows on his head and hands shot up.

"Aah!" Raven shouted in surprise as wind pushed her off her feet. The boy landed on the roof, and the Titans got into battle position.

"Whoa! Let me explain!" Aang said, putting his hands up.

"Who are you?" Cyborg asked. He lowered his glowing sonic cannon, but his hand didn't become normal.

"Uh, hi, I'm Aang. I don't know where I am and who you are. My friends are down there and we should go get them," Aang said as he pointed towards the ground.

"There are more people who have arrows on their heads and hands?" Starfire asked.

"No, they're from a Water Tribe," Aang said. "But does it really matter? I really want to get them before anything else happens."

"Okaaaaay," Robin said confused, he only trusted this guy because of the non-evil look in his eye. "Starfire, Raven, can you get Aang's friends up here?" Starfire and Raven nodded, and in a couple seconds, Sokka and Katara were carried up to the roof.

"Stop struggling, Sokka. These girls are nice," Katara said, rolling her eyes. Sokka ignored her advice.

"Put me down!" Sokka struggled.

"I wish," Raven groaned as she tried to keep her grasp on Sokka.

"Hey, Sokka, Katara, meet these nice teenagers!" Aang smiled.

"So, you were transported here by two powerful attacks made by Aang and this Zuko guy?" Robin asked.

"That's one of our theories," Katara said. Katara, Sokka and Aang were telling the Titans who they were and how they got here. They were on the roof, and the sky was getting dark.

"And Aang is the Avatar and Zuko is hunting him down?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, Zuko's been doing it ever since Aang came out of the ice," Sokka said.

"And Oppa is a giant flying bison who wants to take over the world with his leamer sidekick Mo Mo?" Beast Boy asked eagerly. The friends gave Beast Boy a look that said Your-the-craziest-person-I-have-ever-seen.

"When did we say that?" Aang asked.

"Heh, heh, guess I got a little carried away," Beast Boy chuckled. "I didn't mean anything, guys," he added as he looked at Oppa and Mo Mo. Oppa groaned and sat down.

"Hm, Raven, can you get these guys to their own time?" Robin asked.

"I guess, but I need to look through my spellbooks, it might take awhile," she added.

"Okay, you can do that first thing in the morning. You do work almost as hard as I do, so let's get acquainted more. Don't want to feel like strangers," Robin smiled.

"So here, they call bending skills 'powers'?" Katara asked Robin.

"Yeah, you must be from way back. Anyway, do you think you can show me some moves?" Robin asked.

"Sure, I know one that's my favorite," Katara smiled as she and Robin took the elevator down to the island.

"Okay, watch closely and stand back," Katara directed. She started to push back her weight back on her right foot. She turned around and held her hands into the air and motioned her arms forward. At the same time, glowing water rose out of the water and snapped the air. The water gently splashed down into the bay.

"And that's how you do the Water Whip. I learned it from a Waterbending Scroll," Katara explained.

"Wow, so you and a bunch of other people have bending powers?" Robin asked, impressed.

"Well, yes, but I'm the only one in my tribe," Katara replied as she and Robin walked back up to the roof.

"You two have been fighting evil along with these guys?" Sokka asked, surprised.

"Oh, yes, we have 'kicked the butt' many times along with our male friends!" Starfire smiled.

"Yeah, is there something wrong with that?" Raven asked as she noted the look on Sokka's face.

"Well, you two won't have anything to worry about with me around!" Sokka said, puffing his chest out.

"Oh, is that so?" Raven asked sarcastically.

"Yep, you young ladies won't have to even lift a finger!" Sokka boasted. "Do you girls like your men brains over brawn, or the other way around? Because—" Sokka was cut of by Raven.

"Because you don't have either feature?" Raven said.

"It is alright, Sokka. If Raven is right, then we will still be your friends," Starfire said, taking Raven's sarcasm as a real statement. Raven bit her lip in order to contain her amusement.

"Dude, don't even try," Beast Boy advised. "If my jokes aren't going to make Raven laugh, then yours won't."

Sokka had a look of offense on his face. "I wasn't joking!" This made Raven turn around and put her hood up so they couldn't see her slight smile.

Katara and Aang watched as Sokka showed the girls his sword-like Water Tribe weapon.

"Looks like Sokka has forgotten about our little experience at Kyoshi," Aang whispered.

"Yeah, was that his head getting bigger, or was it just his ego?" Katara chuckled.

"Man, your not telling me that you don't know anything about electricity and its gift!" Cyborg cried.

"Uh, that's pretty much what I'm saying," Aang shrugged. He followed Cyborg down to the living room.

"Well, Aang, meet the Game Station 2!" Cyborg said. There was a black game station the size of a computer on the floor. It had three buttons. They were labeled POWER, RESET and OPEN. There was a pile of videogames on the floor next to it.

"What does it do?" Aang asked curiously. Cyborg stared at him silently.

"What does it do? What does it do? Why they didn't invent electricity at your time, I do not know…" Cyborg's voice trailed off as he turned the game station on. "Hey, BB, come here! How about a little one on one!" he called.

"Sure!" Beast Boy said, coming down. "This time, I'll beat you!"

Aang, Katara and Sokka had only been in this strange place for a few hours, but every moment, it seemed more and more like home.
