For those of you who have mentioned that Zuko wouldn't name his son Bumi, he didn't. Not in the children's time. I'm not going to spoil the story, but know that there is a reason that I stuck with Bumi's real name instead of changing it. For those of you who don't know, Bumi, Kya, and Tenzin are Katara and Aang's children in The Legend of Korra. I just stole Bumi and Kya since it looks like Aang didn't have much of a relationship with his two older kids anyway.
For the sake of my story, Kya and Bumi are twins, Bumi being the older twin. A few of their physical features are minutely different (like Bumi having golden eyes instead of plain black as depicted in LOK) but it will do nothing to change who they are as a character. There will, however, be one major change in Bumi that you guys may or may not like. If you don't like it, then don't read it.
Little bit of back ground info:
-Aang was born about 6 years sooner in this universe, so he was 18 when the monks told him he was the Avatar. After they tell him that he would have to give up his attachment to Gyatsu, he ran away, and we all know the story after that.
Ages for all characters are:
18 - Aang and Suki
17 - Sokka and Zuko
15 - Katara and Toph (just so she isn't so many years younger then everyone else)
In the last chapter...
Katara and Zuko sparred until an explosion ended their fight and two kids showed up out of no where calling Katara mom.
Chapter Nine
"Bumi, you idiot, now she looks like she's about to faint!" Kya yelled at her twin.
"Gah, I'm so sorry, Mom! I didn't mean to freak you out!"
"Katara," Zuko asked as he came to stand next to her, holding her by the shoulders for support, "do you have any idea what's going on here?"
She shook her head.
"I'll tell you what's going on here! We're keeping our mom from denying her destiny!"
Both Katara and Zuko looked confused.
"My destiny? My destiny was to help Aang defeat to the Fire Lord and bring peace to the world."
"We're not talking about that," Kya sighed, looking around at the nobles starring at them, "maybe we should... go somewhere else to discuss this?"
Zuko nodded in agreement, then ordered one of his guards to see to it that the royal gardens were repaired, and another to see to it that refreshments were sent up to his private sitting room.
The two children went on ahead of them, claiming to already know the way to his private suite, and Zuko slowed his pace for the sickly looking Katara.
"Maybe I should send for a physician."
"No," she sighed, "I'm fine. I just... those kids... they look like they are... part Fire Nation."
"Maybe your husband is Fire Nation," Zuko explained with a shrug.
"The boy has golden eyes," she murmured quietly.
Zuko stopped and contemplated this for a moment.
"Do you think..."
"It's the only explanation."
"But... why did they call me Fire Lord Zuko instead of... dad? I mean, didn't I have a relationship with them?"
"I don't know , I'm just as confused as you. Maybe they will have answers for us."
The children were already in the sitting room, plopped down on the rug that sat before the large couch, as if it were their normal spot. Zuko led Katara to the couch, where he helped her sit down and then took his spot next to her.
"Alright, first things first. Who are you, and why are you here?" Zuko demanded.
"We already said that, Fire Lord!" Bumi scoffed, crossing his arms like Zuko had often done himself, "I'm Bumi, and this is Kya. We're twins, and Katara is our mom!"
"But not for another five or so years," Kya explained, "Tenzin is four years older then us."
"Tenzin?" Katara asked.
"Yeah, our older brother. You don't know that you're pregnant yet?"
Katara swooned and Zuko caught her, trying to shake her awake. When that didn't work, he laid her back against the couch before turning back to the children.
Why are you here? What destiny is it that you have to help your mother with?"
"You see, in our time," Kya began, "when our mom found out about Tenzin, she tracked down his father, Avatar Aang, and married him, even though he wasn't the one she loved, or the one meant for her. That would be our father, her lover, the one she was suppose to marry."
"Me," Zuko concluded.
"Yep!" Bumi laughed,"but she's still married to our step dad, Avatar Aang, and because you were in love with her, too, you never married, and never had a legitimate heir, so the Fire Nation will one day be left under the rule of your nephew, Sozin, named after your great grandfather. He's... much like Fire Lord Ozai, only crazy like his mother. At eight, he eliminated the only other person who could have a claim to the throne."
Zuko frowned.
"I wasn't aware there WAS another heir."
"He's illegitimate, but he's Fire Nation, and he's a noble,"Kya supplied.
Bumi nodded, "his name's Tom Tom. He's your illegitimate brother."
Drama, drama! So, tell me, what do you guys thing? Too much? Too soon? Completely 110% totally awesome? Let me know!
