Okay here'sdon't keyxt chapter, I chapterng to wait until I finished another chapter from another fanfic before I posted this but time is running out for me and with University starting soon I'm trying to up my game here.

When Sakura opened her eyes she knew after seeing the pitch black sky and multi coloured, green, pink, red and purple land Sakura knew she was no longer at the Eastern air temple. There was no way for her to fully understand what was happening as she looked around at the barren world.

"Where the hell am I?"

A voice cut through "Now, there's no need for that kind of language."

A figure materialised out of nowhere, resembling a human with long thin white limbs that stuck out of a shaggy black cloak, a white mask on its face with red ribbons wrapped around it hanging loosely. It floated above the crowd and produced a misty fog beneath its feet.

Sakura took a cautious step back warily "W-Who are you?"

The being chuckled "I would've thought you'd know the answer to that, since you came looking for me. I mean, I am the one who brought you to this world."

With a soft gasp Sakura took a nervous step back "Are you the spirit that brought me here?"

"Indeed, I am the spirit Chronos the spirit of space and time or as you humans may call me 'Fate'."

"Fate..." Sakura trailed softly before looking up at the spirit "I was told by the guru to ask you why you brought me to this world?"

The aura this being gave off was unlike anything Sakura had ever felt before, it wasn't something natural, of course that shouldn't be too surprising given the fact she was talking to a spirit.

"On request actually," Chronos began to circle around Sakura slowly.

"Say what?" the pinkette asked watching the spirits every movement

"You see, I am a spirit that sets out the destiny of each individual in the world, this one and yours."

Sakura narrowed her eyes at Chronos "So you control us like puppets?"

"Of course not, one cannot control something they have not created; I do not control humans, I merely set out the outcomes during their lives. I influence them, not control them. If it were that simple I wouldn't need to bring you here."

Sakura continued to watch the spirit with sceptical eyes "And that means?"

"I influence humans to follow a certain path in life; to make decisions that will lead them to their greatest fate but humans are stubborn and arrogant creatures and there are many who oppose my influence and deny their destiny and I cannot do anything to sway them. Recently a great unbalance has been created due to two humans in particular who have opposed the fates I've set for them; it has caused this world to fall into chaos, the flames of war."

"What do I have to do with any of this?" Sakura asked trying to understand everything she was being told.

"Mankind has always been one to oppose fate and hence attempted to create unbalance but I have always managed to restore such contingencies with the help of the avatar."

"So why couldn't you do it this time?" Sakura asked

"Because, a hundred years ago there were two humans who have created this imbalance in this world and one of them was the avatar!"

Sakura gasped "The avatar created this imbalance but they are the ones who are-

"Suppose to maintain it." The spirit said "However in the end, avatar or not a human is a human and this particular rejection of fate has caused this world to fall into chaos; a war of a hundred years."

Sakura scoffed placing her hands on her hips "So what? We have wars back in my world as well."

"But this war can result in the entire destruction of space and time itself!" exclaimed Chronos, the world around Sakura shook suddenly making her strengthen her stance. "Should that happen this entire world shall fall and cease to exist."

"How can that be?"

"Too many humans going against the natural forces of life will result in the inevitable destruction of the world-already a human has attempted to kill a spirit and nearly succeeded!"

"But Aang's the avatar, he can fix this. He'll stop this war."

"I'm afraid that's more not than likely."

Raising its long arm and swiping across the air, the entire fabric of the world she was in had a slight tear now and was showing images to Sakura...horrifying images.

"You see, these humans have already written their fates in stone."

Ba Sing Se was being overthrown by Fire Nation soldiers storming through the city...

Aang was in the avatar state and killed by a powerful bolt of lightning...

Katara, Sokka and Toph were all captured and imprisoned...

A powerful comet soared through the sky granting the Fire Nation unimaginable power, allowing them to win the war...

There were three shadowy figures standing among the flames of war; fire surrounding them...

"All hail Phoenix King Ozai."

"All hail Princess Azula!"

"All hail Fire lord Zuko!"

Sakura gasped as she watched the images disappear "Was that the future?"

"Yes, this is what lies ahead for the world. They have set this out for themselves and there is nothing I can do to stop it from changing, it is set in stone."

Sakura fell to her knees, her hands trembled "No, it can't be...Aang is going to..."

Her head shot up to the spirit "THEN WHY AM I HERE?"

"To change this world's fate."Sakura gasped and looked confused now; not understanding how she was expected to do that.

Chronos raised its arm and the ground began to shake, from there erupted a huge tree unlike any other Sakura had seen before, it held no leaves with many branches and red ribbons tied on it that nearly covered the entire three.

"This is the tree of destiny, every humans born has their string of fate tied to this tree." Pointing a long finger to one of the lower branches Sakura saw several ribbons tied together, she reached out for it; as she did a red string began to form around her hand, she gasped and drew back.

"What was-

"Your string of fate has been taken from your worlds and tied to the people in this one, the avatar, his companions and others."

Sakura breathed in deeply "Y-you said that you brought me here because someone told you to?"

"Yes...this person had a plan to change the fate of this world." Chronos explained "He said that while I may not have the power to change this set course of destruction; someone else could. An extra factor; not influence by any of this world forces."

"Me..." Sakura breathed

"That's right; you are an unexpected turn of events that will either help bring balance back to this world or speed up its destruction. It will all depend on you and your actions."

Sakura took a breath running a shaky hand through her hair "This is crazy, I-I-I only want to go home...back to the place where I belong, where I am needed."

"I took you because you were of little use to your world."

Ouch, that was a real kick to the gut and also completely insulting and infuriating. So the reason this spirit just took her from her world was because she wasn't of any use to it? How the hell was she supposed to feel after hearing something like that? And like this spirit could say she was of little use after all he couldn't even do his job properly and fix fate so he had to bring her here to fix it!

Pushing aside all of the curses and insults she wanted to throw at the spirit she swallowed the lump in her throat and spoke "How do I return?"

"I brought you to this world using the power I had gathered for the last hundred years and it will take me another hundred to gather that same power."

Sakura frowned "So you're saying I'm stuck here!?"

"No there is another way." Chronos said unaffected by her little temper tantrum "Should the avatar master the avatar state, he will have the ability to gather the power of all his past lives and create a storm as powerful as the one I used to bring you to this world, to send you back."

Sakura looked up at the spirit "So Aang has to master the avatar state and create a storm?"

"Correct."

Sakura let out a small sigh of relief, Aang was just about to open his last chakra gate as well that meant she would defiantly be getting out of here! However there was still the fate of this world that was weighing heavily on her mind.

"Then it's decided..." Sakura trailed clenching her fists "I'm going to stay in this world until I help Aang and everyone put an end to this war, save the world and stop this awful fate! I won't go home until I've saved then!"

That was the plan, her resolve. Sakura pointed up at Chronos with a determined expression "And when I go home...I'm going to prove to you that I'm not useless, I am going to become a vital part in this world and mine! Now take me back!

Chronos showed no sign of reaction simply looking at Sakura through a mask "As you wish."

The world around Sakura began to vanish, turning slowly into black...

"There are already forces moving around those close to you." She heard Chronos say "When you awaken you will find yourself facing many challenges that will wound you greatly...and remember..."

"Although fate presents the circumstances, how you react depends on your character."

When Sakura's eyes opened she saw was met with Aang's face, his hands on her shoulders shaking her vigorously making her jump with a startle.

"SAKURA WE HAVE TO GO NOW."

Sakura jumped up before Aang grabbed her wrist and began pulling her towards the exit of the temple.

"Aang what's going on?!" Sakura asked turning back to guru Pathik who was calling him but the young avatar didn't listen to him.

"I saw it! Katara's in danger!"

"No Aang!" Pathik called from above the tower "By choosing attachment you have locked the chakra; if you leave now you won't be able to go into the avatar state at all!"

Sakura gasped looking at Aang, she couldn't believe he hadn't unlocked the last gate, he was the one who had opened the other gates with little struggle and now...

Aang jumped with Sakura onto the Aapa and took off away from the temple without another word to the guru.

"Aang what are you thinking?" she asked him "If you can't go into the avatar state then-

"We don't have time to worry about that, I saw Katara in chains Sakura-

"Chains!?" the pinkette's eyes went wide; it was happening now, the forces that were beginning to move...never mind that Aang couldn't go into the avatar state right now, never mind that it meant Sakura couldn't get home, all that mattered now was helping her friends and stopping what fate had in store.

"Let's go!"

Aang and Sakura flew to Chameleon Bay; they didn't need to explain anything to Sokka who was about to go out with his dad but when he saw the looks on Sakura and Aang's faces he knew something bad was happening. They took off as quickly as possible and were now flying full speed to Ba Sing Se. It was already daylight when they were able to see the outer wall of the city in the distance.

"So what kind of trouble is Katara in exactly?" Sokka asked

"I'm not sure, in my vision I justk new she was in danger."

Sokka pulled his face in confusion "It would help if you avatar powers could be a little more specific from time to time."

Sakura wasn't sure if she should even mention to Sokka that Aang had skipped out on the last part of their training and wasn't able to go into the avatar state, though looking at Aang she knew he wouldn't appreciate that.

'He'll have to tell them eventually. The sooner the better.'

Sakura looked down at noticed a large cloud of dust moving quickly towards the walls and pointed at it "What the heck is that?"

Flying Appa closer they saw that it was Toph who was heading towards the city "NEED A RIDE?" Sokka yelled startling Toph causing her to stop bending and have a hard fall which made all of them wince.

After picking up Toph they were back on their way to Ba Sing Se, after Aang explained to her that he thought Katara was in trouble. Sakura asked Toph what she was doing all the way out of the city; that's when she explained to everyone that the letter from her mother was a trap set to capture her and take her back home.

"My parents...are the worst." Toph hissed "They would go so far as to pay goons like that to bring me back!"

Sakura rested her hand on Toph's head "I know it hurts but I'm sure they mean well, although their level of protectiveness may be a bit over excessive."

"Tell me about it." Toph sighed

Sakura furrowed her eyebrows when she realised something "Wait you said you were trapped in a metal cage...how did you get out?"

Toph grinned widely "Guess who just became the world's first metal bender!"

Sakura smiled; looks like she didn't have to mention the light chakra to Toph after all.

"So how did it go with the guru?" Toph asked "Were you able to master the avatar state?"

Aang visible winced and turned his head "Uh..."

"Aang are you okay?" Sokka asked

"I'm great." Aang replied with a crooked smile "It went great with the guru, I completely mastered the avatar state."

Sakura raised an eyebrow at Aang but didn't say anything to the others; then attention turned to her.

"And you Sakura? You're still here but, were you able to get some help from this guru?" asked Sokka

Now it was her turn to give a nervous smile "Uh, yeah turns out it was a spirit that brought me here."

Aang turned to her "Oh yeah, I wanted to ask what did it say?"

"Um..." Sakura trailed nervously; she didn't want to tell the set fate of this world and she defiantly did not want to tell Aang she saw his death or the others that they lost this war...She had to think of something.

"Just that if I want to get home you need to whip up a powerful storm in the avatar state and that'll send me back." Sakura told Aang

She wasn't lying about that part she just didn't include the whole, destruction of the world, losing the war, getting captured and every other horrible part of the so called inevitable future that she had to fix.

"Ohh..." Aang trailed nervously, well that wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that he couldn't go into the avatar state at all.

With a sigh Sakura placed a hand on Aang's shoulder "Don't worry, I'm sure when the time comes things will work themselves out."

She hoped so at least.

When the gang finally reached the royal palace they went straight to the earth king and asked about Katara and if there have been any suspicious happenings.

"Katara's fine, you have nothing to worry about." Kuei reassured the four

"But in my vision; I felt so sure that she was in trouble." Aang said

King Kuei placed his hand on his chin "Well she met with the council of five and since then she's been off with your friends the Kyoshi warriors."

Sokka smiled and looked at Aang "See Aang, she's with Suki. They're probably back at our apartment right now talking about make up or something."

"Okay, maybe you're right."

Sakura let out a sigh of relief; she was still worried about the spirit Choronos and his warnings though.

When Toph, Aang, Sokka and Sakura returned to their old home in Ba Sing Se they entered to found that the previous damage Toph had caused was repaired and Momo who rushed over to Aang, but as they continued to look around they found no sign of Katara.

"There's no one else here..." Toph said

"Katara is in trouble!" Aang said "I knew it"

"Oh no." Sokka and Sakura said simultaneously

Toph then sensed something coming up to their previous home and pointed to the entrance

"Someone's at the door."
