It's actually harder than I thought to write fight scenes in the Avatar world. But I think they will work.
Chapter 6 Team Avatar vs The Four Horsemen
The attack on Royal Caldera City has passed several days ago. Under Zuko's orders, the entire city, or the few who were remaining, left the city. Not a single soul was currently in the city, except for Team Avatar. Katara has been healing everyone non-stop. After insistence from Aang and the rest of the Team, she took the day off to rest up for the upcoming battle.
After being healed up, Sokka and Zuko armored Appa up. They needed something to keep their minds off of what Chaos said. That he could singlehandedly destroy the World wasn't possible…or was it? While everybody got ready and rested before they traveled to Wulong Forest, Aang was sitting under the stars, meditating. His tattoos were glowing.
In his meditative state, Aang appeared in a blank realm with fog flowing around him. He concentrated and focused on one of his former lives. The fog swirled in front of him and formed an old man with a flowing white beard. He was wearing ceremonial Fire Nation robes.
"Aang," said the former Avatar Roku. "It is good to see you. I had hoped that we would talk again."
"Roku, I need your help." said Aang. "Something…dark and evil from the past has appeared."
"Yes, I know." said Roku. "I, and all other denizens of the Spirit World, can feel his essence even here. And I fear that he has disrupted the balance of our two worlds."
"How could he do this?" asked Aang. "Not even the Avatar could do that. We can only make sure that they remain in balance."
"This being, Chaos as he calls himself," started Roku, "He has the power to raise the dead. He ripped Gyatso from this plane of existence and revived him as his servant, as you already know. He seems more powerful than anything our World has ever seen. The Spirits that we would consider dark and evil are escaping from the Spirit World and invading yours."
"Why haven't I heard or even noticed these spirits in my world?" asked Aang.
"It is possible that they are too afraid to reveal themselves with Chaos walking the planet." said Roku. "Chaos's presence seems to make even the most powerful malevolent spirits cower before him."
"But what is he?" asked Aang. "He says that he battled the very first Avatar. That was countless years ago!"
"As to what he is, I cannot say." admitted Roku. "But he is something that is causing the ildest spirits to stir from their slumber."
"What can the first Avatar tell me?" asked Aang, looking for answers.
"Aang," started Roku, "The first Avatar is so old, so ancient, that she lies in the deepest regions of the Spirit World in a deep slumber. I doubt she will resurface."
"Then how am I going to know how to defeat Chaos?" Aang said.
"You must find a way Aang." said Roku. The fog started to blow fiercely at Aang. "Remember Aang, you are never alone!"
Aang was shaken out of his meditative state. He looked up and saw that Katara was the one who got him out of his trance. Since Chaos had said that he caused what happened between Zuko and Katara, everyone forgave the two of them instantly.
"Are you ready?" asked Katara. She had a solemn look on her face.
"Yea." said Aang. He stood up and together with Katara to the balcony where Appa and the others were.
The all looked serious as they hopped on Appa. As Appa flew into the sky, they started planning on a battle strategy. They discussed Ozai's returned Bending, Long Feng's ability to Bend metal, Hama's restored youth, and the newly alive Monk Gyatso. For the several hours it took to reach Wulong Forest, they tried to form a strategy, but couldn't. They have never faced a threat like this before.
Soon they saw the forest in the distance. Thousands of stone pillars stood tall against the upcoming sunset. They marveled at the beauty of it, and dared not say that it might be the last thing they ever saw. Right before they started to descend, they heard the sound of hooves hitting a hard surface. They looked around and didn't see anything at first. Then fire was blasted from the sky. Appa was able to maneuver out of the way.
Aang looked up and saw Ozai. But that wasn't what he saw first. Ozai was sitting upon a horse with six legs, made complete out of intense flames. Ozai smiled as he threw more flames at Team Avatar. As Appa kept dodging the flames, Hama came near them, riding a horse made up of sickly green water. She caused geysers of water to appear in the air that pounded Appa. Katara wasn't able to stop the water.
Appa began screaming in pain, and no one could tell why. Then Toph spoke up, saying that Appa's armor was crushing him. Long Feng came into sight atop a horse made of earth and encrusted with gemstones. He was smirking while he crushed Appa's bones. Toph started to stop Long Feng's attempt at killing Appa, and she was successful. However, she acted late, and several of Appa's bones were crushed. Appa started to fall out of the sky and Aang used Airbending to soften the fall.
Aang used his glider flew to underneath Appa. He made a small tornado of wind and guided Appa to the ground, while Zuko was firing blasts of fire to stop Long Feng, Hama, and Ozai. But when Aang got Appa near the ground, he was blasted by a black wind and thrown against the ground. As Aang stood up, he saw his former father figure Monk Gyatso riding a horse made by a cyclone.
When Appa landed, he bellowed in pain. Sokka, Toph, Katara, and Zuko were thrown off of Appa. Then a large bolt of lightning struck the sky bison and killed him. The sky bison species became extinct.
"Appa!" screamed Aang, mourning the loss of his oldest friend.
Katara grabbed Aang and tried to comfort him. Team Avatar gathered themselves and watched as Ozai, Long Feng, Hama, and Gyatso ride their steeds to the ground. When the Four Horsemen jumped off their horses, their steeds dissipated into the elements that composed them.
"Are you ready to be defeated Avatar?" asked Ozai. "I would like to repay you for what happened in this very forest."
The look on Aang's face was that of intense anger. It was quite frightening, so much so that it made Ozai slightly draw back. Team Avatar readied themselves and got ready for what could be their final battle. In an attempt to keep Sokka alive, Katara demanded that he stayed away and he reluctantly agreed. The Four Horsemen scoffed and charged at Team Avatar. Katara went for a rematch against Hama. Toph went after Long Feng, itching to prove herself as the greatest Earthender. Ozai tried to go after Aang, but Zuko stood in his way.
"Get out of my way boy!" yelled Ozai.
"Not a chance." said Zuko.
"Fine then." said Ozai. "Then I'll do what I should have done all those years ago!"
Ozai quickly released two bolts of lightning at Zuko, who narrowly dodged them. Zuko blasted fire at Ozai, but Ozai Bended it into his hands. Zuko, however, used his flame attack as a distraction so he could stab Ozai with his dual dao swords. Ozai was run through, but he was relatively unfazed. Grunting, he punched Zuko and pulled out the swords. He looked at Zuko and the swords, and then tossed one of the swords to Zuko.
"What's this?" asked Zuko.
"I want to see who is the better swordsman son." said Ozai as his wounds healed from the flames. He rushed Zuko and swung his blade. Zuko countered and readied his sword, getting right into Ozai's face, where Ozai whispered something to his son.
Aang was forced to fight Gyatso, his former father figure and Airbending master. Aang was still angry over Appa's death, but he was having great difficulty even defending against his former friend. Gyatso was using advanced offensive Airbending techniques that consist of blades of wind. Aang's air shield softened the blow of the blades, but just barely.
"Gyatso, please!" yelled Aang, trying to reach his master. "It's me, Aang!"
Gyatso didn't respond. He kept fighting and Aang couldn't bring himself to hurt him. So Aang kept defending, not attacking.
Toph was having a better time fighting Long Feng this time around. She knew that she couldn't underestimate him and that he has Metalbending abilities. However, he was able to do things that Toph doubted even Aang could do, such as pulling large pillars from the ground and making a colossal creature made out of the earth. Long Feng made the stone behemoth sink into the ground and shoot up from under Toph, 'eating' her hole. When Toph stopped falling and hit what she considered the stomach of the stone creature, her seismic sense let her see that there were indentions on the stomach walls.
Katara was being flung around like a rag doll by Hama's Bloodbending. With the moon out that night, Katara was stronger than she was the other night, but she still was no match for Hama. Hama dropped Katara and ran around her. Water rose from where Hama stepped and connected, forming a dome. Katara didn't have time to react, so Hama began freezing the dome, from the outside going in. She swam closer to Katara and made a message out of ice.
Over the course of a few hours, Wulong Forest felt floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, and fires caused by the battle. Toph and Katara have long been released from their respective prisons. Zuko and Ozai were still going at it with everything they got, having ditching the swords and using pure Firebending. Zuko was getting exhausted. Aang was still fighting Gyatso. The Four Horsemen herded Team Avatar together.
"I wish I had a snack for all of this." said Chaos from atop one of the rock columns that compose Wulong Forest.
Chaos was sitting on the edge of the rock column, completely enjoying the show. As soon as his Four Horsemen gathered the Avatar and his little friends, Chaos floated down to the ground to finish off Aang.
"What a marvelous show!" said Chaos. "I just wish it didn't have to end. But, you do need to die Aang. Then the Keyhole will reveal itself, Darkness will rise, and I can finally leave this insignificant World."
"Keyhole…Darkness?" Aang asked. "What are you talking about?"
"I don't have the time to explain the details to you Aang." said Chaos. "In case you and your people haven't noticed, there is an alignment in the universe that is made of countless Worlds. And that has weakened the barriers between the Worlds for the first time since the Worlds were created. And if I want to leave, this world needs to fall to Darkness."
"That's your plan?" asked Sokka. "A bunch of mystical mumbo-jumbo?"
"Be quite you idiot." said Chaos, as he caused Sokka to bleed internally. Sokka started coughing up blood.
"Sokka!" cried Katara. "Stop it! Stop it!"
"Why?" asked Chaos. "He has no use to me. I don't even know why he is even here. It's not like he did anything while you all were fighting."
"Shut up!" yelled Aang.
He stood up and blasted concentrated air at Chaos. Katara summoned as much water as she could and released two columns of water. Toph lifted to large slabs of stone and broke them apart and condensed them, only to fire them off at a very fast rate. Zuko fired off two large plumes of flames. Then something else happened. The Four Horsemen attacked Chaos as well. Hama used the water in the air and fired off large, sharp icicles. Long Feng did the same thing as Toph, but with precious gems. Ozai shot two very powerful bolts of lightning and, surprisingly, Gyasto released many air blades.
"Pathetic little insects!" said Chaos.
Chaos created a black orb of energy and fired it. The beam collided with all of what the Four Horsemen and Team Avatar shot at him and plowed right through their attack. It landed right behind them and exploded, blowing them towards Chaos.
"I expected your betrayal, but actually working with the Avatar." said Chaos as everyone else stood up. "Even I find that disturbing. Your services are no longer required." Chaos snapped his fingers and from the chests of the Four Horsemen came Darkness. They screamed in intense pain as they began to whither and decay. Soon there wasn't even dust left.
Team Avatar was silent. They couldn't believe what they saw. Chaos took them out so easily. They didn't know what to do now.
"How can you be so cruel to your allies?" asked Zuko.
"They were not allies." stated Chaos. "They were tools, the means to an end."
"You monster." said Toph.
"I like to think that I am more than a monster." Chaos said.
"Hyaa!" yelled Sokka and he ran at Chaos, sword drawn. Chaos ignored him and continued to walk, even as Sokka plunged his sword into Chaos's chest.
"He he he." chuckled Chaos.
He grabbed a hold of Sokka's face with both hands and smiled. Sokka had a look of terror plastered all over his face. Everyone else was screaming, yelling at Chaos to stop what he was doing. With a smile of pure evil, Chaos sharply snapped Sokka's neck, twisting his head till it was facing backwards. The sound of the bones breaking sickly echoed throughout the area.
"SOKKA!" screamed Team Avatar.
