Here we are again! It's always such a pleasure guys. So, yeah. I have been thinking about starting a Legend of Korra SYOC, maybe. I dont know yet, it's still being planned. But it would be smaller in scale than this, at least with how many characters I'll need. Or maybe like a roleplay forum? I dont know, I'm just rambling at this point. I may follow through, or I may not. Things tend to just change one way or the other. Let me know if any of you would be interested in something like that.
But anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Leave a review, Follow, Favorite, all that good stuff. I gotta go, see you at the end of the chapter.
-Aftermath-
"This is gonna be weird…" Violet murmured, as she packed her bags. Damon nodded, he and Jesse were over, hanging out before she had to leave. Jesse hummed, looking through Violet's wardrobe.
"Why do you have all these if you never wear them?" Jesse asked, referring to the multiple fitted dress shirts, of all colors in her closet, Violet shrugged.
"I just have clothes, those are for fancy things. You'll find that most girls just have clothes, I have a whole drawer in there for just jewelry that I never wear at all, but I have them." Violet told him, Jesse nodded.
"You should wear these more." Jesse noted, Violet had looked really nice the night of the dance when she had dressed up. Violet shrugged.
"I don't know. I like reserving them for fancy things."
"Do more fancy things then." Damon said, as if it was obvious, Violet hummed, as Jesse agreed with him.
"I could, but with who? Most people cant afford to go out to the restaurants I like, so I end up having to pay for everything." Violet said, Damon shrugged.
"It cant be too far out of normal price range?" Jesse tried to counter her, more for trying to help than actually questioning her.
"Lè Mettè." Violet said the name of the fanciest, and most expensive, by a long shot restaurant in the whole city, causing Jesse and Damon to just stop and stare at her.
"Are you serious?" Jesse asked, he believed her, but that was a bit much, even for her, Violet shrugged.
"My Auntie Janice is rich you know." Violet reminded them, Damon hummed.
"Yeah, about that… How did she get so rich? Because all this is expensive." Damon said referring to the house. Violet shrugged.
"Well, her mom set up this whole like… alternate currency system for the worlds. Using these plastic cards that Munny can be transferred to, and from. Most worlds have at least one of these machines that do the transferring. She just got rich off of it." Violet explained to them, Jesse nodded, Damon just hummed, scratching the growing facial hair on his chin.
"Huh, well that makes sense then." Jesse said, Damon nodded.
"Man, I need to shave." Damon mused, Violet looked over at him.
"You can. My bathroom has everything you need. Just don't use the pink razors, those are for… Just don't use them, and don't be weird in there." Violet told him, Damon just smirked, shaking his head.
"I don't mean now, just in general. Like when I get home baby girl." Damon said, Violet just shrugged.
"Suit yourself. I was just offering."
"And I appreciate it."
"You fucking better." Violet muttered, as she looked around the room, making sure she wasn't forgetting anything. "I've never actually planned a vacation without my parents."
"What about that time in the Book of Prophecies?" Jesse asked, Violet shrugged.
"I didn't plan for that. It just sort of happened." Violet reminded him, before she let out a sigh, and sat on her bed. She had basically gotten everything she needed, now she just had to wait on Kya.
-Aftermath- Four Months Earlier-
"Violet, I'm going to teach you a few things, about magic, and martial arts." Tyler told her, Violet nodded. The two were sitting outside, facing each other, cross legged.
"What about them?" Violet asked, Tyler smiled at her.
"About combining them. Combining Martial Arts with Magic. Being able to hurl a ball of fire with your hands using Martial Arts moves. It's a style I perfected from watching the warriors of another world."
"What other world?" Violet asked, clearly fascinated by her Uncle, and his many tales, and accomplishments.
"I actually don't remember the name. But the Warriors of that world didn't have magic like ours, the rules were different. They were called Benders. They wielded the elements, but they were limited. I trained with many different people to perfect these techniques." Tyler told her, Violet nodded, she was willing to learn, and listen to her Uncle.
"So, does anyone else around do this?" Violet asked, Tyler shook his head.
"Not many people outside of that world, no. But this form of fighting not only requires knowledge of martial arts, its so much more. It's spiritual, it's control over your magic. You have to be at one with yourself to use this form of fighting. You need to be devoted to learning, not to crush your enemies, but to defend yourself, your friends, the things you care about. It requires a clean soul, and a strong heart."
"I'm willing to learn. I promise you, Uncle Tyler." Violet said, Tyler nodded, and held out his hand. He summoned a bright orange flame, Violet just stared at it.
"We'll start with fire, it matches the most with your personality. While Wind…" He said, as the flame turned to a mini tornado in his hand. "Is close to your fighting style, you're light, and agile." He said, Violet just stared at him, and nodded. "Now, use fire magic."
"Okay… Here it goes." Violet said, she never used Fire magic too much, she much preferred Thunder in the categories. She held her hand out and summoned a bright blue flame in her hand, causing Tyler to stare at her in shock.
"Are you augmenting your fire?" Tyler asked, Violet shook her head.
"No, it's just… Like that, is that bad?" Violet asked, Tyler shook his head. Violet's fire had always been blue instead of the usual orange.
"No, it's not bad Violet, it's actually very good. It shows your natural affinity for magic. Your fire burns hotter than most people, that makes a lot of sense actually." Tyler mused, Violet smiled at the blue fire in her palm.
"It's very pretty, I just prefer Thunder magic."
"The two are linked naturally, I imagine with that fire, your Lighting must be on another level. But we'll save the actual combat for later, for now you just need to know what it means to hold that power in your hands. The responsibility it holds." Tyler told her, Violet nodded.
"So where exactly do we start?" Violet asked him, looking at the blue flame in her hands, Tyler smirked.
"Right there, with what you're dong. That fire, it's beautiful, yet it can kill people very easily. Never let it get out of control, your magic is strong, if you were to lose control of it, you could end worlds. Your friends, family, everyone you've ever met could die by your hand if you don't learn complete control."
"What do you mean? Nothing bad has happened yet." Violet told him, Tyler just nodded.
"Precisely. But I have a feeling that things are going to change. Change is necessary of course, so you need to learn complete control of your magic. If something terrible were to happen you could very well lose control. Learn absolute mastery over your magic, and we can prevent that."
"I got it." Violet promised him, Tyler nodded, he began explaining more and more about this new form of fighting she was to master, and the responsibilities of it well into the night.
-Aftermath- Present Day-
"Hello? Oh, it's you." Kelsi deadpanned, as she saw who had knocked on the door. Emma stood there, with her hands at her sides, and biting her lip. Kelsi looked over her with a look of genuine annoyance, and anger. Kelsi just looked over the girl unimpressed.
"Could I see Violet?" Emma asked, Kelsi glared at her.
"No, you cant. You should leave Emma, before I call my wife over to remove you from our property." Kelsi threatened her. Despite her dislike for Emma, Toni liked the girl even less, and was more aggressive than Kelsi could ever be.
"I haven't done anything wrong though."
"I asked you to leave, and you're still here." Kelsi pointed out, from inside Toni walked over to the living room, only giving a passing glance at the door where her wife was.
"Please, I just want to see Violet." Emma pleaded, Kelsi just glared at her, her grip on the door tightening, she was trying very hard not to use her magic to launch this annoying girl away from her house, and family.
"Violet doesn't want to see you. No one wants you here, leave." Kelsi told her, Emma shook her head, as Violet came out of her room, she looked towards the door, sensing her mother's tension, Violet walked forwards, and placed her hand on her mother's back.
"Mother? Is something wrong?" Violet asked, Kelsi nearly froze, she did not want her baby to deal with this.
"No, she was just leaving." Kelsi told her, Violet tilted her head and ducked under her mothers arm to see Emma, Violet's eyes widened, and she looked back at her mother's face looking down at her, twisted in concern, and frustration.
"Hey, mother, it's fine. I'll take care of it. Find mom, and hug her okay?" Violet pleaded, Kelsi let out a shuddering sigh, before she left to find her wife, Violet turned back to Emma with a glare, shutting the door behind her.
"I wanted to talk to you." Emma said, Violet glared at her, shaking her head, she checked her watch.
"So talk, you have about five minutes before my girlfriend gets here. I would be gone by that time, I wont be able to hold her back." Violet told Emma, who looked uncomfortable with Violet having a new girlfriend.
"I… Violet, why do you hate me?" Emma nearly whispered, Violet had to really try to hear her. Violet's eyes widened, she did not expect that.
"I… Don't. I don't actually hate you Emma, you're just… You're just my ex." Violet explained, Emma frowned and let out a sigh.
"Cant we be friends at least?" Emma asked, Violet furrowed her brows.
"I don't know. My mother doesn't like you Emma, and she likes everyone. Doesn't that mean anything to you? Like, you really, really hurt me, and she's protective, but she's also very forgiving, and she hasn't forgiven you. Why should I?" Violet asked, Emma let out a sigh, her eyes glassing over.
"I don't want to be nothing to you. I want to prove that I can change, that you can like me again. Maybe we can even be together?" Emma asked hopefully, making Violet glare at her.
"No. I'm in a happy relationship, why would I ever go back to you? I really like Kya." Violet said, Emma shook her head, wringing her hands together in frustration.
"But you love me!"
"I used to…" Violet muttered, looking away from Emma, and closing her eyes as a single tear slid down her cheek. "But I don't anymore." Violet told her, before looking down the street to see Kya coming.
"Please, at least give me another chance, to be a friend?" Emma asked, Violet rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms.
"Oh look, my girlfriend is early." Violet said, Emma turned to see the white haired Guardian of Light looking at with a pointed look. No doubt questioning why she was around Violet. Emma let out a sigh, looking at the blonde who used to be around her every day.
"Violet, I'm sorry."
"I know you are." Violet said, just as Kya made her way over to her. Kya smiled slightly at Violet, and placed her hand on the small of her back, before turning to look at Emma. Emma had to admit, Kya looked like she was happy, and made Violet happy.
"Is there a problem here Violet?" Kya asked in a calm voice, Violet smiled at her.
"I wouldn't go that far. Emma wants me to forgive her, though you missed the part where she suggested I would leave you for her." Violet said, Kya glared at Emma, who just bit her lip.
"Listen it's not what you think." Emma said, Kya just raised an eyebrow.
"I think you suggested that Violet would leave me for you. Funny thing is, I'm not threatened. I don't need to prove anything because I know you cant measure up to me." Kya told Emma, before she looked to Violet. "Are you ready to leave?"
"Sure! I need to get my bags, and say goodbye to my parents then I'll be good. Come on!" Violet exclaimed loudly, Kya smiled and let herself be dragged off by the blonde, Emma let out a sigh, and left shaking her head.
-Aftermath- Tanner and Miranda's Apartment-
"Ugh! Would you stop!" Miranda yelled, she and Tanner were sitting on the couch, watching tv. Miranda shook her head. "Stop that." Miranda said, Tanner just looked over at her, confused.
"I'm just sitting here." He tried to say, Miranda shook her head.
"Not you! Them! I wanted to fucking sleep, but no. I have to be awake for a scene. Can I just start telling them things about the story?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"I don't know, just keep it light. No major plot points."
"So, I cant say how Yuffie is going to be involved?"
"You shouldn't even say that she is involved. It's supposed to be a surprise." Tanner told her, Miranda let out a frustrated sigh.
"Ugh, the author's favorite story on this site is Ordinary Adventures by Metal-Chocobo, figure out how Yuffie could possibly be involved from that, and who she's involved with there. I didn't spoil anything." Miranda noted, Tanner just rolled his eyes.
"I suppose, but it's not hard to figure out. Just talk about Violet and Kya." Tanner told her. Miranda smiled.
"I can do that! Their relationship song is Everytime We Touch, from Violet's perspective of their relationship it's the normal version, and Kya's version is the Candlelight mix… Is that right?"
"Yeah. For at least their relationship for this arc. Another song is added for the Hero Arc." Tanner said, Miranda nodded.
"Ooh! Can I tell them how this arc ends?"
"No."
"Fine. But the ending song for this arc, the Apex High Arc is Obstacles, from Life is Strange. Also, we haven't seen many of the Oc's recently, are they going to get a thing?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"Seilo's arc is coming up. Along with a few others. They wont be anything like Violet and Kya's but they'll stretch a chapter or two. Chrysander is linked to Vani, and she's set to come back soon."
"So, it's in planning… What about Damon's dad, and Jesse's thing?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"Damon's dad will begin while Violet and Kya are gone. Jesse's thing happens when they come back." Tanner told her, Miranda nodded.
"Think we could do a flashback now? Then they'll come back to the present at the end of the chapter or something?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"Sure, initiate whatever you want sis." Tanner told her indifferently, Miranda smiled, and waved her hand.
"Go away then, move it. Back in time!"
-Aftermath- Three Months Earlier- Kya's House-
"Why are you dressed like that?" Kya asked, Violet smiled as she tipped her hat. She had it made by her tailor. It was an exact replica of the Silver Shroud hat from Fallout 4. Black with a silver strip on it.
"It's Halloween, people dress up as things they enjoy." Violet told her, Kya raised an eyebrow, the whole thing was clearly foreign to her.
"What exactly are you then?" Kya asked, if Violet enjoyed it, she would at least try to understand, the blonde would never shut up about it otherwise. Violet was dressed in a black trench coat with a silver collar, a black button up underneath, and a silver scarf tucked into the coat. Black pants, and shoes.
"Me? Who am I? I am… The Silver Shroud! It's from a video game, who are you Kya?" Violet asked, Kya once again just looked at her confused.
"Myself? I see no purpose in dressing up myself. If you wish to do so, that is your business." Kya told her, Violet let out a sigh, and looked at her.
"Please? Let me dress you up, then we'll go trick or treating."
"What is that?" Kya asked, Violet once again gave her a look.
"We go door to door and get candy from people." Violet explained simply, shrugging. Kya raised an eyebrow.
"That sounds dangerous and stupid."
"Well, yeah. Any other night it would be. It's okay tonight though, but come on, let me dress you up!" Violet pleaded, Kya gave her an irritated look.
"You wont let this go will you?" Kya asked, Violet shook her head. Kya let out a sigh. "Fine. But keep it simple." Kya said, Violet smiled at her, and jumped up excitedly, hugging Kya, who let a small smile slip onto her lips before she let go of the blonde.
"I have just the things with me. Come on, I'll show you." Violet said, dragging Kya to the Guardians room, where Violet had gotten changed in the first place. Violet pulled out a red leather trench coat.
"You want me to wear that?" Kya asked, Violet nodded.
"Yeah! You can be Piper! My sassy journalist companion, also my chosen romantic partner." Violet said, Kya glared at her.
"We aren't anything like that."
"It's all pretend Kya, just put the clothes on!" Violet exclaimed, Kya let out a defeated sigh. She wanted to at least try and humor Violet. So why the fuck not?
"Okay, leave the room then." Kya said, Violet nodded obediently and left the room. Her phone went off, after a few minutes, and she looked at it, seeing that Damon, Jesse, Emily, and Ruby were close by, she smiled a bit. She had gotten quite the group of friends ever since she came to Apex High. Violet turned as she heard the door open.
"Wow! You look good!" Violet exclaimed, Kya just looked down at her clothes, she had a green scarf around her neck, and a red leather trench coat on, with jeans, and a button up shirt underneath.
"This feels strange." Kya muttered, Violet smiled at her, before tilting her head, something was missing.
"Wait… Where's the hat?" Violet asked, Kya shrugged.
"I don't wear hats." Kya told her simply, Violet pouted at her, and Kya frowned in distaste, looking away from the blonde, before she let out an irritated sigh, and went back into her bedroom, coming back moments later with a hat on her head, Violet smiled.
"We should go though. The others are waiting." Violet told her, Kya let out a sigh, nodding, Violet smiled and adjusted Kya's hat a bit to make it perfect. Before she turned around and walked out of the house, Kya followed her, locking the door as they left.
The two made their way over to their friends who were walking in their direction currently. Damon was dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda, Emily was dressed as Garfunkel, complete with an afro wig, while Jesse was dressed as Oates, with a fake mustache. Ruby was dressed up as Princess Zelda from the Legend of Zelda.
"You guys look great! Though I've never seen a black Link before Damon." Violet pointed out, she smirked and shrugged.
"Hey, who says he cant get reincarnated into a black kid? I mean, they already have Linkle." Damon pointed out, Violet groaned.
"God I hate that name. Like, it's just… Weird, why not like Linkette or something like that?" Violet asked, Damon shrugged. Kya gave her a look.
"Could we please just get on with this? I don't see the point in waiting. If the goal is to go around and collect candy from houses, standing around is a waste of time." Kya pointed out, Violet nodded several times in an exaggerated way, Kya just shook her head.
"You've never trick or treated before?" Emily asked, Kya shrugged.
"I was trained most of my life, I had no times for such things. I'm suspicious about this whole thing, it all seems so illogical." Kya told her, Emily nodded, not disputing that fact.
"It's a good thing we aren't going trick or treating then." Damon muttered, Kya and Violet glared at him. He raised his eyebrows. "Shit."
"We aren't? Then why did you drag me out here?" Kya demanded, Violet let out a sigh.
"Fine, I lied. But that's just because I knew you wouldn't do it if you knew we were going to a party that I set up. Well, I got the house for it, with my auntie's help. I had Jamora, and Arthur actually set things up." Violet explained quickly, Kya let out an irritated sigh.
"Violet, I'm going home." Kya said, turning, before Violet grabbed her arm, biting her lip.
"No! No, come on! There's a costume contest and everything! I already signed you up as my partner!" Violet exclaimed, Kya looked at her.
"Violet, you owe me, so no drinking at the party." Kya told her, Violet shrugged.
"I don't drink at parties anyway… Anymore… Long story short I ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor last time I did. Ruined my favorite shirt too." Violet said, Kya let out an irritated sigh, before turning back around, glaring at the blonde.
"Let's go then." Kya muttered. Violet smiled at her, and wrapped her in a tight hug. Kya just pat Violet on the back a few times before pushing her away. The group set off towards the house that Violet had set up for the party.
-Aftermath- Present Day- Hart Residence-
"Now, don't break these okay Love?" Kelsi asked as she handed Toni some gauntlets. Toni smiled, and slipped them on, she let out a few quick punches, Kelsi smiled, Toni seemed so happy right now. It was admittedly a nice distraction from her baby leaving.
"These things are fucking awesome! I cant believe they're finally ready!" Toni exclaimed, Kelsi smiled at her wife as she examined the Gauntlets, they were made of Platinum, with a glyphs etched into them.
"It'll take a bit longer for Janice to get up the boot versions. But you should be fine with these for now. After I charge them with magic of course." Kelsi said, Toni nodded, Kelsi had insisted they go outside just in case Toni used the Gauntlets inside the house accidentally.
"How does that work exactly? Like how will I use the magic?" Toni asked, she never understood magic really. She didn't know any spells whatsoever, but she could fight with the best of them. In fact she actually had gotten in a sparring match with the legendary Tifa back in high school, and hadn't done too bad.
"Well, I'll make a magical shot for an element." Kelsi explained as she held her thumb and forefinger apart, like she was holding a bullet, a magical energy formed in the space, a small Thunder Shot. "I'll load it into the Gauntlets." Kelsi explained further, grabbing the Thunder Shot near the bottom, and grabbing her wife's Gauntleted hand, she found a small hold about the shape of her Thunder Shot, and loaded it into the Gauntlet, the glyphs started glowing bright yellow.
"Damn, I can feel that! It's so weird, that's magic? You live with that?" Toni asked, Kelsi smiled at her, and kissed her quickly.
"Yet it is. Now, pay attention." Kelsi ordered, Toni nodded obediently. "Once the shot is charged in there, you just had to want it to fire off. These Glyphs are also linked to your thoughts, and feelings. So basically, if you want to fire off a shot, you'll fire one off. Try it out." Kelsi said, moving to her wife's side.
Toni smiled, and punched forwards, aiming straight ahead. The Thunder Shot flew out of the Gauntlet, and towards the fence around their backyard. Once the Shot connected it let lose an explosion of pure magic, and lightning, destroying a part of their fence. The explosion had been about as wide as the two of them standing next to each other, and just as tall. Toni bit her lip as Kelsi smiled at her.
"Looks like we have to fix that, I'm glad it works though. I'll load them later tonight, so take them off. We have some shopping to do Love." Kelsi said, leaning against her wife, and kissing her, Toni smiled, and pulled her closer, causing Kelsi to giggle as they kissed a few more times.
"Let's get going then." Toni said, smiling.
-Aftermath-
So yeah, next chapter will be Violet and Kya at Radiant Garden. I even have the title of the next chapter for you all. The Ninja, and the Princess. Miranda and Tanner already hinted at it earlier in the chapter. Hope you enjoyed this chapter though, I cant wait to see you guys again. Well, not see. You know what, it doesnt matter, later!
