Avatar: The Legend of the Two Avatars
Disclaimer: I OWN AVATAR! I ALWAYS KNEW IF I PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THE PRODUCERS POCKETS THEY'D GIVE ME FULL COPYRIGHT! Wakes Up What an amazing dream…wait…DREAM? I was so close TT
Me: Woohoo!
Sokka: What's she so happy about?
Aang: She finished another chapter.
Sokka: Really? folds his arms
Me: YES SOKKA! REALLY! Jumps around the room like a lunatic
Katara: Hey Zekesbabe…this is pointless…besides…you still have another fifteen chapters to even start before the end of the night!
Me: 0.0 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Arika: Ok read people but review. If you review it'll give loudmouth points to zekesbabe there something else to write…then we can torture her more.
Aang: That's not very nice. I'll help zekesbabe
Katara: knocks out Aang so he can't help
Sokka, surprisingly, was the first to recover. "Another Avatar? How's that possible?" He looked back and forth at Arika and Aang. Resting his gaze on Aang he continued. "I thought the Avatar was the same person reincarnated." He said confusedly.
Katara growled. "This is impossible! She can't be the Avatar! Aang's the Avatar!" She stood up ready to fight Arika however, Aang pulled her down into a sitting position on the bench whilst he stood up. "Aang?" Katara asked fearing for her friend.
"I don't know how it came to be. It's hard to believe."
Katara touched his hand. "Because it's impossible…you are THE Avatar."
Aang looked at his hand. "Maybe she is another Avatar."
At this both Katara and Sokka rose to their feet. "No Aang!" Sokka yelled.
Aang looked at the siblings. "You don't understand. Maybe a part of me died whilst I was frozen. Then it became whole and reincarnated in case I didn't return." He said dejectedly.
Akira stood up. "Seems like a good explanation to me." She said pulling Aang out of the door.
Katara grabbed Aang's wrist. "He's not going anywhere!" She cried angrily.
Akira frowned as Aang shook his head softly to Katara. He slipped his wrist out of her grasp and gave her a reassuring smile before allowing himself to be taken with Akira.
"What was that about?" Sokka asked. Katara just shook her head. "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE HEAD MOVEMENTS!" Sokka cried in frustration as Katara sat back down and took a sip of her tea. She held the nearly empty cup and stared deep within it, watching the dregs swirl. The old man gazed at them, tempted to tell them more, but knowing he would endanger Akira if he did.
Arika took Aang through the forest. She showed him the way through the maze of trees and boulders until finally they came out by the river. Aang cupped his hands in the water and took a drink. "So you're an Avatar?" He asked. Arika who had originally been focused on her nails glanced up and nodded. Aang sat down on the riverbank and gently raised the water into an orb hovering above his lap. "I would never have thought it. You don't even have an arrow on your forehead. Is that because you are a part of me and didn't inherit the blue arrow…because a little part of me was still alive?" He asked excitedly.
Arika frowned. "Uh sure…I'll go with that." She answered wryly.
"But don't you know?" Aang asked playing with the water.
"I've never actually thought to ask myself that." Was the hesitant answer.
"Oh."
Arika watched the water and copied his movements except with the earth.
"I don't know how to control the earth yet…and I'm still not sure on water bending…but Katara's helping me learn. Maybe you could help me out with earth bending?" He asked hopefully.
Arika didn't seem to hear him. Just as he was about to ask her again, she coughed. "I heard you Aang. But I'm not sure I can be a good teacher." She stared at the levitating dirt orb placidly. Aang stared at the ground and muttered an indistinct murmur of disappointment. "Don't get me wrong Aang. I could try I suppose…but don't be disappointed." She said forcing a smile to her lips.
Aang mimicked her smile except he added more happiness. He let the water drop back into the stream drenching them both in his momentary lapse of control. Arika looked at him with murder in her eyes. Suddenly Aang started laughing. Arika glared at him but soon found herself spluttering. Soon the birds rose to the trees, scared of the sudden outburst that was laughter.
Arika wiped a tear from her eye. "I haven't laughed like that in a long time!" She giggled.
"And you won't be laughing ever again." Came a cold voice. Arika and Aang started and fixed their eyes immediately on the direction the voice had come from. Aang grabbed his glider and was about to grab Arika and fly to safety, however, Prince Zuko had other ideas. A stream of flames was sent toward the glider from Zuko's wrist. All Aang could do was drop and stare at the burning charcoal that had been his reliable glider and sparring companion.
As he turned away from his burning stick Aang felt arms seize him. He struggled to get free when suddenly he noticed Arika hadn't been captured. "Help me Arika!" He cried to her.
All she did was turn her head away. "You did a good job in helping us capture the Avatar. Here's the gold I promised you." Zuko said tossing her a small satchel which made the unmistakeable clink of gold coins as it reached her outstretched hand.
"You…you helped him?" Aang asked not believing his eyes nor ears. "I thought we were friends. I thought we were one of the same." He said, a salty liquid drop falling from his eye.
"No Aang. I'm not a part of you." Arika said. "Prince Zuko promised to spare our lands if I helped him to get to you." She paused watching Zuko's men struggle to hold Aang. "It's my duty to my people." She said softly.
"And what about the people of the world? Don't you care that so many could die?"
Arika turned away and made her way back to the village before saying, "They're none of my concern."
Aang stopped struggling. He couldn't believe there were people who thought that way. He was supposed to save the world. Save everyone. And not everyone could care about anyone outside their homes. He couldn't…no…wouldn't fight back. Maybe it wasn't worth it. Maybe he should just give up…
