Chapter 17 – Dark Horizon
10,000 Years Ago
"The Convergence…is a minute away." A being of light said with a weakened voice while being helped by young man.
"We're here." The young man replied. "Yggdrasil."
They both looked at the massive tree standing tall in the middle of this realm; two pillars of light flew high into the sky.
"Take me…to the tree." The being of light said her light beginning to dim. From the other portal, another entity walked out.
He wore a dark blue helmet and dark blue armor, his skin was darker than black and his red eyes glowed with menace. He smiled wickedly while he watched the young man and the being of light slowly walk towards the tree.
Gaea, you look like you need a rest. The being said as he approached them. In just a few seconds, I will grant you an eternity of rest!
"Ares." Gaea said.
"You are not going to get near her." The young man said standing between Gaea and the dark lord, Ares.
A mortal…challenging a deity such as me? Laughable. Step aside ant, and prepare for eternal darkness.
"I don't think so, if you want her you will have to come through me!" The young man went for the strike, bending the element of fire and striking the dark deity with all of his might.
Hilarious! None of the fireballs had any effect on the dark god's armor. The deity laughed as he advanced towards the young man.
The young man kept throwing fire at the being of darkness, while Ares flew through the air avoiding the heat. He landed and struck the young man, sending him flying back.
I have lived ten thousand lifetimes before your kind crawled out of the mud! Ares's crimson red eyes glowed and a blast came out of them. Going directly towards the young man, once again sending him across the realm.
Gaea couldn't help, her power being drained from her by the evil Ares. Her sky blue hair was losing its color and her once beautiful pale skin was fading from existence.
It was I who broke through the divide of the realm of the Gods and the mortal world! Once again he blasted the helpless young man. He was powerless against this dark god whose power grew every second.
To hate me is to give me breath; to fight is to give me strength! Conflict feeds me! Now prepare to meet oblivion!
Ares tried for one last time to blast the young mortal, but now the young man firebended his way out of the blast's way. He landed on the rocky ground, still feeling extremely weak.
"Gaea! The only way to win is together!" The young man called on to the Elder Goddess. She ran quickly towards him and helped him up. Ares smiled at the sight. Gaea became ethereal and fused with the young mortal. "Agh!" He yelled as he felt strange energies flowing through his veins.
Ares had enough and prepared to kill the young man, he went in for the kill but was stopped by immense boulder crashing into him. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! Ares screamed in anger, he destroyed the rock and continued his fight.
The young man with the power of the Elder Goddess within him could now control all four elements at once. He water, air, earth and fire at the dark god, this time making dents on his armor.
But the young man's body could not handle the power within him. "Wan, I have to leave your body or you'll die." Gaea said to her host.
"No…we have to…stop him, Ares will destroy everything…grr!" Wan replied as he stood back up from his knees. "We have to finish this together!"
Wan once more jumped into battle, striking the dark god with more barrages of enhanced fire. But unfortunately, Ares caught him by the collar and threw him near one of the polar portals. Ares then placed his foot on top of his chest victorious.
The Convergence is about to begin…the Era of Light is over. Let Darkness Fall!
The planets aligned, and the polar portals connected signaling the beginning of the Convergence. In the sky, each of the realms could be seen…Earth, Asgard, Vanaheim, Jotunheim, Muspleheim, Svartalfheim, Alfheim, Niflheim, Nidavellir and the other worlds such as: Olympus, Avalon, Heliopolis and Hanan Pacha.
Yes! Yes! Victory is mine! Ares then began to glow in a dark purple aura, his armor morphing into a more diabolical aspect and growing larger. Wan could feel his weight crushing his chest, then he noticed. The Convergence was the thing that was giving him power…he turned and placed his hands on the polar portal behind him.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He began to emit and blinding white light engulfing the whole realm.
This powerful light forced Ares to back away; his face was of absolute terror. No! NO! This couldn't happen...Malekith had weakened you Gaea!
Wan stood back up and he breathed the air slowly. "We are now one." Gaea said.
With that, Avatar Wan was born and had now mastery of all elements and the power of the Elder Gods flowing deep within him. And so he unleashed his power onto the still terrified Ares, punching the divinity in the face. Breaking his helmet and pushing him into the ground, Wan bended the rocks beneath the dark god and trapped him in the sphere of earth.
He then threw water, air and fire into the mix, making a prison of all of the elements. He bended the elemental sphere into the Yggdrasil, hoping that it was strong enough to keep Ares at bay. And it did, a light was shone from it signaling the defeat of darkness.
"This will be your prison now, Ares. And I will close the portals so that no human or spirit harm each other." Wan said leaving the dark god imprisoned inside the World Tree.
THIS IS NOT OVER, I WILL RETURN AND WHEN I DO THE VERY HEAVENS WILL CRY OUT FOR MERCY! THE GODS WILL TREMBLE AND DIE! DIE!
Present Day
Air Temple Island
Korra opened her eyes, she had been dreaming…but it was weird. She stood up and saw that it was still night outside. The Moon was shining down, that is why Korra still felt energized but…that dream.
She had to speak to Tenzin about this the following morning; maybe he knew what it means.
Unknown Location
Amon and Magneto had been formulating their endgame, coming with a way to take over the city and beyond.
"What about Colonel Fury and his agents?" Amon asked.
"They will be bringing more troopers with weapons of metal, don't worry about them." Magneto replied with a smirk.
"Then that just leaves us with the Avatar to deal with." Red Skull stated as he approached them, accompanied by Deadpool.
"Heard that the girl has some grit." Deadpool said.
"The Avatar is mine, you may take care of her compatriots but she is mine." Amon responded.
"A personal vendetta?" Red Skull asked.
"None of your concern, firebending scum." Amon said with anger. "We know who you are."
"Especially me." Magneto stepped in. "Trash."
"Calm, we are here together are we not?" Red Skull said. "Together we can conquer this world."
The four men looked at each other for some time, waiting for one to make a move. Stress grew inside the room, each expecting an attack from the other.
"People, people..." Loki appeared in the middle of them. "The time is coming and I need all of you in optimal conditions."
"Tell this genocidal monster to vanish before I turn his stupid skull into dust." Magneto said.
"Ha." Red Skull responded.
"No, I need you all. Victory approaches, gentlemen, and I bet none of you would want to miss it." Loki stated smiling.
