Chapter 2: The Adventure Begins

Intro: Avatar: The Last Airbender Opening

"Water…"

"Earth…"

"Fire…"

"Air…"

"Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world!"

"Oh, and Sonic's here too."

"Hey!"


If things couldn't get any weirder with bubbly glowing water, and large icebergs apparently coming out of nowhere, there were people within the iceberg. Katara looked at the boy who was trapped within the ice, still being majorly confused herself.

It wasn't until the boy looked back that spooked Katara and Sokka a bit, his eyes and tattoos glowing vibrantly. When Katara got over her initial spook, though, her first instinct was to help the boy.

"Sokka, look! He's alive! We gotta help!" Without wasting anymore time, Katara grabbed Sokka's weapon, causing her brother's eyes to widen and chase after her.

"Katara, what the heck are you doing?! Get back here! We don't know what that thing is!" he shouted, letting his sister have an earful. But it was pointless, Katara wasn't gonna listen to him,

Then Katara started hitting the iceberg with the weapon, eventually causing it to break as a large amount of air was let out. Once the iceberg broke, a bright light shot up to sky, the seals roaring to the sight and the return of the hero they waited a whole century for.

During this time, the boy that was in the iceberg stood up, his tattoos still glowing. Sokka, seeing this as a potential threat, grabbed his sister away from the boy and pointed his spear at him.

"Stop!"

When he said that, it's like the boy actually listened. The sky went back to normal as the boy's tattoos stopped glowing, going unconscious for a moment and started falling. Katara gasped and caught the boy, taking a good look at him.

Sokka came closer and started poking the boy's head with the bottom of his spear, trying to see if he was alive.

"I think he's dead."

"Sokka!" Katara shouted, giving her brother an annoyed look and rolled her eyes. It was at this moment that the boy showed some life again. His eyes fluttered, groaning a bit. It's like he was waking up from a long, long, long, long nap. Once his eyes were pretty much open, he saw Katara.

Well, if there would be a time to say something to a beautiful girl that was holding you, this is the perfect time.

Let's see what the boy comes up with.

"I need to ask you something…" he said slowly.

"What?" Katara replied, showing curiosity.

Oh boy, here we go.

"Please… Come closer…"

"What is it?"

THIS IS IT!

The boy's eyes lit up, now being fully awake and aware of what was going on around him.

"Will you go penguin sledding with me?!"

DANG IT!

Katara thought it would be… Something more important than that? I mean, the build up would have anyone thinking that the boy had earth shattering news, especially when you consider he was freakin' frozen in an iceberg.

"Uh… sure? I guess?" Yeah, Katara was confused. Sokka looked even more confused, though. Just as he was about to add his two cents on how the heck this boy was alive in the first place, he and Katara would get another shocker.

A loud yawn was able to be heard, as now a blue talking hedgehog would make himself known to the siblings. "Boy, that was some good sleep. Feels like I kinda overslept, but whatever."

Oh, overslept would be an understatement.The understatement of the century.

That's when Katara's eyes would be overcome with shock, and Sokka would proceed to lose his mind.

"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?! IS THAT A GIANT RAT?!"

"Oh, here we go…" Sonic said, being irritated by the reaction of Sokka. The rat comment struck a nerve, considering that never went well. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to keep his composure.

That lasted for about two seconds tops.

"I'm not a rat! I'm a hedgehog!" he yelled back, looking at Sokka and then at the boy.

"Aang, you better tell the-"

"AHHHHH CHOOOOOOOO!"

Mass insanity was now breaking out, with Aang sneezing and flying an 'estimated' 10 feet in the air. The air that came from his sneeze caused the Katara, Sokka, and Sonic to raise their arms from all the germy winds that were trying to get on their faces.

When Aang landed on his feet, both Katara and Sokka were left in shock. Random magical icebergs, a blue talking hedgehog, and a living airbender, when they haven't been seen in 100 years.

Aang rubbed his nose after the sneeze, acting like everything was fine. "Phew! I needed that one!" He then looked at Katara and Sokka. "Hey everybody. I'm Aang, the blue hedgehog is my friend Sonic, aaaaand-"

Just then, a powerful roar was able to be heard, scaring Katara but especially Sokka.

Appa walked over to the group, revealing himself.

"This is my flying bison Appa!"

When Aang explained all of this, he had the widest, most innocent grin on his face. He truly thought nothing was wrong. So much has happened in the minute that the group introduced each other, which made it so hard to keep up with. Katara's and Sokka's brains were entering into overdrive mode.

That would especially go for Sokka.

He turned around, looking up at the sky. "The universe is playing one big trick on me, isn't it? Glowing icebergs, talking blue hedgehogs, an airbender, and some magical flying bison." Sokka clearly sounded sick of it all.

"So, you probably wouldn't be able to handle the possible news of me being from another world then?" Sonic had an evil grin on his face, continuing to push Sokka so he could see what his reaction would be.

Once Sokka heard that, he continued to look at the sky. "Alright universe, take me. I'm ready, take me now." He didn't believe Sonic one bit. He was convinced that this was a test given to him by the universe, or this was all some stupid dream.

Luckily, there was still one sane person out of the siblings.

Katara looked around, taking a deep breath. "Aside from my brother losing his mind, and I'll admit, I might be losing my mind a little bit too, I'm sure I'm still sane… I think."

Since Aang already introduced themselves, it would be rude for Katara to not do the same. "I'm Katara. My brother over there is Sokka." She paused for a minute, before continuing. "Let me start off with you, Aang. You're an airbender?"

"Yep!" Aang exclaimed.

"Living flying bison?" Katara continued.

"Yep!" Aang said once more.

Katara then turned to Sonic.

"My eyes and ears aren't deceiving me, right? You can talk?"

Sonic sighed. "Yes, I can talk."

"But how?" Katara questioned. "Maybe I'm missing something, but you're the first animal I've seen that can talk."

"That's because I'm not from here." Sonic casually said, crossing his arms. "I'm from a different world entirely. I got sucked up by some random portal, which I'm still not sure how that happened in the first place. I dropped in on Aang's place, aaaand-"

"We traveled the world! That's pretty much it!" Aang suddenly cut Sonic off. Sonic looked at Aang weirdly, but the boy looked serious for the first time since he's seen Katara and Sokka.

Whatever the reason is, it was clear that Aang didn't want Sonic to talk about the rest of details.

When the whole different world story came up, Sokka decided to just dive into the water, feeling that he was done with this crap. Katara, somehow and someway, was doing a good job of being cool.

"I'm… going to have to look more into the whole other world thing later on." Even though she wouldn't say it, Katara thought that Sonic's story was crazy. Still, it's not like you can blame her for thinking that way.

She turned back to Aang. "Wait… Sonic said your home, right?" she asked, Aang giving a nod in response. "That must mean there are other airbenders out there?"

"Of course there's other airbenders out there. Why wouldn't there be?" Aang said innocently. I mean, what kinda question was that… Am I right…?

Boy, does he not have a clue yet.

Hearing this peaked Katara's interest. "Really?" Now she's gonna pop the question. No, not that question, they literally just met. "You wouldn't happen to know the Avatar, would you? The Avatar was supposed to be born as an airbender if we go by the cycle."

That's when Aang looked more nervous than usual, but he played it off. When Sonic saw Aang's body language, that's when he figured out why Aang cut him off. He didn't want people to know that he was the Avatar. Not only because he never wanted to be the Avatar in the first place, but considering how much his life had changed when the news broke out… Sonic understood why.

"Uh… I don't know him. I mean, I know people that know him, but I don't." Aang told Katara.

Katara let out a sigh. "Oh, okay." She hoped that she would get more information on the Avatar, clearly. Little did she know that the Avatar was right in front of her, but she'll find out in due time. She turned around to talk to Sokka, finally noticing that he was trying to swim away. She certainly looked embarrassed.

"Sokka, what the heck are you doing?!"

"I'm going home to where stuff makes sense! And if I gotta swim to get there, then I guess that's what I have to do!"

Katara facepalmed herself, the facepalm definitely being one of frustration and annoyance.

"If you guys are trying to get home, Appa can give you guys a lift." Aang said, smiling.

Hope was restored in Katara, and it showed in her face. "Really?"

"Yeah! I'm sure it would be better than swimming all the way back." Aang then jumped on top of Appa's head.

"Thank you so much!" Katara told him, climbing on Appa. "Sokka, stop doing that and get on Appa! You can't swim all the way back home!"

Sokka still wasn't having any of it. "Oh, I sure can, and I will! Watch me!"

While that was going on, Sonic just now realized that they were around a lot of water. Like, a ton of water.

If there was one thing that Sonic was scared of, it was water, and being around a massive amount of it wasn't doing anything good physically or mentally for him.

"Wait up, Aang!" he said, jumping on top of Appa, his paranoia of water returning.

Seeing as how almost everyone was here, Aang yelled, "Appa, yip yip!"

Appa would give the flight of a lifetime.

That's if you consider him not being tired after being trapped in an icerberg for a long time. Appa jumped and spread out his legs like he was going to fly, but he ultimately ended up only splashing into the water.

With Sokka being the only one not on Appa right now, the splash sent a powerful wave towards him, his eyes looking fearful.

"OH NO!"

That's when Sokka got splashed, weight of Appa pushing him farther away from the group.

His face look unenthused, knowing that he was about to go through some trials and tribulations.


As time passed, everyone made it back to the South Pole thanks to Appa. As soon as he got home, Sokka got off Appa as quickly as possible. It was late when they got back, so he wasn't as loud as he wanted to be because he didn't want to wake anyone up.

"So, I've decided that this is all a bad dream, and when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be back to normal." Sokka told them, going into his tent and instantly fell asleep.

Katara rolled her eyes, getting off of Appa along with Sonic and Aang. "You're going to have to excuse my brother Sokka. Sometimes he gets like this."

"Oh, it's no problem." Aang told her.

"Just as long as he doesn't call me a rat, we should be good." Sonic said, laughing with Aang and Katara.

"I'll be sure to let him know. Anyway," Katara started, "I'm going to show you guys your tents. It's the least my brother and I could do for helping us get back home."

"Thanks, Katara!" Aang said, showing a smile.

"Yeah, we appreciate it." Sonic said, showing his own smile.

Katara would then show the two to their tents. It would take a minute, but Aang would fall asleep.

Sonic, however, wasn't so easy. Though, he did have a visitor.

Katara entered back into Sonic's tent, feeling the need to get some clarification on a few things. "Okay, Sonic… I know you're probably tired, but you mind explaining that story to me one more time?"

Sonic scoffed, shaking his head. "Oh sure, I would love to explain everything to you, because that went oh so well last time." Sarcasm was dripping all over Sonic's voice, making Katara look down and sigh.

"Seriously Sonic, I'm all ears." Katara reassured him. Sonic looked at Katara, sensing that she was serious.

There was a short silence.

"Alright. You promise you're gonna listen to me this time?"

"Promise." Katara told him, nodding.

Sonic took a deep breath, starting off the conversation almost exactly how he did when he first met Aang. He would talk about a lot of adventures that went on in his world, talk to her about Dr. Eggman, and mention how he got into this world in the first place. Katara had a lot of information to comprehend, but honestly, she was doing a good job at it.

"But oh man, you should have seen Aang's air temple! It had so much life with people riding on air scooters, the most delicious looking fruit I've ever seen, and everywhere you turn, you could see so much beauty! My only regret is that I didn't explore it enough when I was there." It was clear that Sonic held the memory of going to The Southen Air Temple in good regard, but as he was explaining his story, Katara had a blank expression on her face. Sonic noticed this, frowning.

"What? You still don't believe me?"

"No, no, it's not that!" Katara said, disputing that notion. "It's just…" She was trying to gather her thoughts, trying to get to the bottom of this.

"Do you and Aang know about the 100 year war?"

Sonic instantly got confused. "The 100 year what?"

Uh oh.

"Sonic, how long were you and Aang in that iceberg?"

Now that's a good question! How long were those two in that iceberg anyway?

Sonic thought about it, scratching his head. "I'm not sure… Maybe a couple days? A week possibly?"

Katara's realization made her eyes widen, catching Sonic off guard and it made him worried.

"Uh, Katara? Everything alright?" Sonic asked with concern, but with Katara finally connecting most of the dots, there was only one conclusion she could come to.

"Sonic, I think you and Aang were trapped in that iceberg for 100 years!"

This would cause Sonic to fall on his back in classical anime style at Katara's statement, immediately getting back up and refuted it. "What?! Katara, do you know how crazy you sound?!"

"Listen!" Katara said, trying to get Sonic to calm down. It may be too late for that, but they were so deep into the conversation that they couldn't stop now. "There's been a war going on for the past 100 years. The reason why Sokka and I were so shocked to see Aang airbending is because the Fire Nation supposedly killed all the airbenders! The Fire Nation is the one that started this war 100 years ago with the other nations, but I'm thinking the reason you don't know about it is because you and Aang have been trapped in that iceberg this whole time!"

Well, that was a bombshell.

Sonic's pupils shrunk, hearing the nuke-like news that Katara gave him. He was quiet, extremely quiet for a long time. He didn't want to believe it, but the more he thought about Katara's explanation, the more it made sense. His life was flashing before his eyes, trying to come to grips with everything he just heard.

But at the moment, he simply couldn't.

"I'M OVER 100 YEARS OLD?!" he shouted, his vocal cords being put at their absolute limit. His shock and adrenaline overtook him, making Sonic speed out of his tent and run quickly somewhere else, catching Katara completely off guard. First, she did not know that Sonic could go that fast. Second, she tried to stop him from running away, but it was too late.

"Sonic, wait!"


Later, Sonic kind of found himself in the middle of nowhere. Not too smart of him to be in the cold like this with no kind of shelter whatsoever, but really, that part wasn't bothering him. Being over 100 years old was the part that was bothering him.

That probably won't change for a long time.

As he was letting out his frustration by himself, he continued to walk to wherever the heck he was walking to. Honestly, he didn't have a plan at all, he mainly just wanted to walk.

His frustration, however, would blind him for a moment. During his walk, he tripped over something hard, his face meeting with the snow as the hedgehog could only groan. He slowly got up, looking back to see what he tripped over in the first place.

When he got a better look at it, his eyes lit up, clearly not expecting for him to trip over anything like this.

"A Chaos Emerald?!" Sonic shouted, running towards it and picked it up. It was the blue Chaos Emerald in all its glory, but now this wasn't making any sense. How did the Chaos Emeralds get here when the portal supposedly only sucked Sonic into this world?

As soon as he picked the Chaos Emerald up, a magnificent and pretty blue light shot up from it, being similar to one Aang made when they were in the iceberg. It shot all the way up to the sky, and it started turning blue in the middle of the night.

Little did he know that him finding the Chaos Emerald would cause some problems.


Not too far away on a Fire Nation ship, a teenage boy with a pony tail and a scar saw this unfold with his very eyes. This was the second time this happened today, but now he could see where it was coming from.

Beside him, an older man that was drinking tea saw this happen as well, being amazed by the sight. "Prince Zuko, look at the sky! Now that's certainly pretty!" Iroh said excitedly.

Zuko was looking through his telescope on where the light specifically was, seeing what was going on.

Once he made the connection, there wasn't anything that was going to stop him now.

"Finally… I've found the Avatar…"

Continuing to look through his telescope, he saw that there was a small village not too far away from the light that was covering the sky.

"As well as his hiding place."

His eyes, especially his scarred left eye, had nothing but determination.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is where the adventure truly begins.
