LEGENDS OF BEND-FORE
THE LAST AIRBENDER
BOOK ONE:ARRIVALS
CHAPTER ONE:THE WARRIORS FROM THE STARS
THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC HAS FALLEN.
THE SITH HAS SUCCEEDED IN IT'S PLAN OF REVENGE AND HAS ELIMINATED THE JEDI ORDER, SAVE FOR A FEW.
AMONG THESE FEW ARE TWO YOUNG PADAWANS WHO HAVE MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE ASSAULT OF CLONE TROOPERS AND THE FALLEN JEDI...ANAKIN SKYWALKER.
MEANWHILE,ON A PLANET IN THE UNKNOWN REGIONS.
A BOY IS TRAVELING HIS WORLD IN ORDER TO LEARN THE FOUR ELEMENTS AND END A WAR THAT'S BEEN RAGING FOR NEARLY 100 YEARS.
NOW,WITH THE TWO PADAWANS CLOSING IN ON THE PLANET.
THE TIDE IN THE WAR,MAY HAVE JUST SHIFTED.
The cold and vastness of space,silent and still with the stars twinkling in the eternal night sky,as a planet soars in its place.
In the midst of it all,a small damaged ship comes out of light speed and makes its way toward the planet.
In the ship are two young men,one was in his late teens and had black hair and hazel eyes and was trying to steady the ship,the other was a younger boy about 13 with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Unidentified planet,mayday mayday,this is Neo sumdac,requesting permission for an emergency landing!"The older boy said through a communicator,but He received no response.
"Master,what do we do?" The other boy said.
"I'm not your master,and we have no choice but to make an emergency landing so strap in."
As the starship entered the planet's atmosphere,flames began too form around as Neo steadied the ship as it passed the clouds and came closer to a vast ocean and impact was soon approaching.
"Brace for impact."Neo ordered.
"Yes,master."the other boy said.
"For the last time I'm not your-."The final thought never came as the ship crashed into the ocean.
On Kyoshi island,the Avatar named Aang was enjoying breakfast with his friends Katara and Sokka.
The trio had arrived on the island the day before so Aang could surf some elephant koi,however,they were captured by the Kyoshi warriors(the protectors of the island),Aang then revealed he was the avatar who disappeared 100 years ago,to which the warriors and citizens of the island then welcomed them with open arms.
"Alright,dessert for breakfast!"he said excitedly,as he began to stuff the food that was in front of him in his mouth.
"These people sure know how to treat an avatar,Katara,you've gotta try this."
"Well,maybe just one bite." Katara said,as she took a cake.
"Sokka,what's your problem,eat!?"
"Not hungry." He said sulking,while sitting in a corner.
"But you're always hungry."Aang said with his mouth full.
"He's just upset because a bunch of girls kicked his butt yesterday." Katara said, teasing her brother.
"They snuck up on me!"
"Right,and then they kicked your butt."
"Sneak attacks don't count."
Sokka got up and started talking gibberish while grabbing some food before walking out and leaving the other two alone.
"What's he so angry about?"Aang asked.
"It's great here,they're giving us the royal treatment."
"Well don't get too comfortable,it's risky for us to stay in one place for too long." Katara advised.
"I'm sure it'll be fine,besides,did you see how happy I'm making this town,they're even cleaning that statue in my honor."
"Well,it's good to see you being excited about being the avatar,I just hope it doesn't all go to your head."
"Come on,you know me better than that, I'm just a simple monk."
Aang then walked over to the window where a bunch of girls screamed in excitement,causing him to smile and Katara to deadpan and do a raspberry.
On the shore of the island,Neo and the other boy were walking up to a forest.
Neo was holding a knapsack with a bunch of supplies (including his and the boys lightsabers).
He was wearing a dark brown outer robe and purple grayish linens and a red undershirt,the boy was wearing tan robes and a white undershirt.
As they came to the middle of the forest looking for civilization, Neo turned towards the crash site of the ship.
"That's the second time I've had to crash land into water." He said.
The two continued walking into the forest.
"What do we do now,master?" The boy asked.
"We go look for any civilization."Neo said,
"And stop calling me master Eli,why do you keep doing that?"
"Cause we're all we have now,now that our masters and friends are gone."
Neo, hearing this, looked to Eli with pity,realizing he was right.
They were most likely all that was left of the order,with no knowledge of what happened to masters Windu,Kenobi,or even Master Yoda.
In a way he and Eli could very well be the last of their kind.
"I know things seem pretty bleak but we'll make it," he said,trying to cheer up the young padawan.
"But I'm not your master,I'm still a padawan just like you and still have as much to learn as you do,but we'll face it together."
Eli lit up a little bit at this,he then noticed smoke in the distance.
"Mast-I mean Neo look."
"Smoke,and where there's smoke?"
"There's fire?"
"Well yes that too,but also civilization,good eye Eli."
"Thanks."
Just as Neo was about to walk again,he stopped and had a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong Neo?" Eli asked.
"We're not alone." He said.
Neo looked up in time to see about four females wearing green dresses with white face paint, falling from the trees surrounding him and Eli ready to strike...and they did.
Neo threw the knapsack to Eli.
"GET DOWN!" He said,as he used the force to push the four girls back.
"RUN!"
He and Eli then took off running as the girls got up shocked.
"Did he just,Push us back without touching us?" One of the girls said,they then took off after them.
Neo and Eli kept running through the woods,when Neo noticed the girls in the trees.
"Keep going, I'll slow them down."He said.
Neo then jumped onto a tree,ran up it,and did a fly kick at one of the girls,kicking her straight in the gut.
Then he grabbed one of the arms of the second one,threw her into a third one,and then blocked a hit from the last one,before throwing her over his shoulder and took off by jumping from tree to tree.
"Who the heck is this guy?" One girl asked,and the four took off after him.
Meanwhile,back at the village, Sokka(still fairly peeved about the day before)decided to show off for the ladies by acting all cool and tough.
Walking up to the dojo,he saw the girls doing motions with their fans.
"Sorry ladies didn't mean to interrupt your dance lesson." He said a little cocky.
"I was just looking for somewhere to get a workout."
"Well you're in the right place."The leader said.
"Sorry about yesterday,I didn't know you were friends with the avatar."
"It's alright,normally I'd hold a grudge,but seeing as how you're a bunch of girls I'll make an exception."
"I should hope so,a big strong man like you...we wouldn't stand a chance."
"True,but don't feel bad,after all I'm the best warrior in my village."
"Wow,best warrior huh,in your whole village?
"Maybe you'd be kind enough to give us a demonstration."
"Oh..well...I...I mean."Sokka said,suddenly flustered.
"Come on girls,wouldn't you like him to show us some moves?"
The girls began to giggle knowing what was about to happen.
"Well if that's what you want I'd be happy to." Sokka said,a bit over confident.
"Alright you stand over there,now this may be a little tough but try to block me."
As Sokka went to hit her,the leader blocked him by hitting his arm with her fan.
"Ah good,of course I was just going easy on you."
"Of course."
"Let's see you if you can handle this!"
Sokka went to kick her,but she dunked and pushed him back on His butt.
Not happy,Sokka went on the attack trying to hit her.
The leader just grabbed him and spun him around until she took his belt and tied one arm to a leg,causing him to hop on his other leg till he fell to the floor.
"Anything else you want to teach us?" The leader asked,as the other girls giggled much to Sokka's embarrassment.
Just then,the leader saw a little blonde boy she didn't recognize run past the door.
"Who's that?"she asked.
Suddenly,something came through one of the windows of the hut,causing the warriors and Sokka to look,only to see a young man about their age get off the floor and look up.
"How many of you are there?" He asked,having seen the other warriors there.
He glanced behind him and saw the warriors that had been chasing him coming,causing him to take off again.
He jumped over the group inside the hut,before landing and doing a roll,before running out the door.
Three of the warriors continued after him,as the leader was about to follow,only for the fourth warrior to stop her.
"Suki," she began.
"There's something you need to know about that boy."
Neo kept running till he came to a building and jumped on it And began to climb,causing the warriors to do the same.
He ran from rooftop to rooftop,when two warriors got in his way,but he jumped over them and kept running, making the two look at him in shock.
Eli ran behind some buildings and stopped to catch his breath,as he began to move again he came face to face with a giant white furry beast,he turned to go the other to run into a boy with an arrow on his head and a bunch of girls.
"Um…hi." He said sheepishly.
"Hello." The boy said.
Eli and the boy just stared at each other for a minute till Eli took off again.
"Who was that?" One girl asked.
"I don't know." The boy said.
"Let's follow him."
They then took off after Eli.
Neo kept running on the rooftops,as the warriors came up on him,one of them was about to strike with her fan,but Neo blocked the hit,turned her around,and pushed her into her friend.
He then grabbed the edge and jumped through a window.
When he looked up he saw a girl messing with water that was floating in mid air.
Neo and the girl looked at each other for a minute,till the warriors came charging in,causing him to jump out the window and roll on the ground,where he was surrounded by the warriors.
One warrior attacked him,but he blocked each hit and then swiped her feet out from under her.
Two more warriors attacked and he jumped over them,when another started to attack,he grabbed her arm and threw her into the other two.
"Neo!" He heard someone say,he looked over and saw Eli come running with the knapsack and a group of children after him.
One of them was a boy with a blue arrow on his head.
This boy caught Neo's attention as he could feel something coming from him.
But the next thing he knew,he was smacked in the back of the head and was knocked out by Suki.
"Tie them up." She ordered.
A dark void was all that was seen,as voices and sounds were heard.
"NEO RUN!" A male voice said.
"NO MASTER,I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!" Neo called out.
The sound of lightsabers clashing was heard.
" What are we gonna do?" A female voice said.
"No...no...NORA!"Neo cried out in despair.
Neo gasped awake and found his hands tied,with Eli tied up next to him,and face to face with Suki,Sokka,Katara,Aang,an elder,and two more warriors.
"Who are you?" Suki asked.
"Where did you come from?"
" How did you find our island?"
"Jabba the hut,my mothers womb,went for a walk." Neo answered,sarcastically.
Suki then up close and personal to Neo's face.
"I do not care for sarcasm."She said,threatenly.
"And I don't like being attacked for no reason,but here we are."Neo said,unintimidated.
"You were trespassing on our island, we were defending ourselves."
"So was I."
"How were you able to push my warriors back without touching them?
"You can't be an airbender, they're nearly extinct,besides the avatar."
"We're not airbenders whatever those are,and I don't know what the avatar is."
This caught everyone by surprise,he didn't know who the avatar was or what airbending is.
"But that's impossible,everyone knows about the avatar and bending." Katara said,confused.
"Well,we're not exactly from around here." Eli said.
"ELI!" Neo berated,giving the young jedi a look.
"Oops"
"What do you mean not from around here?" Suki asked.
Neo sighed.
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you." He said.
"Try us."
"If you insist.
"Eli and I are not of this world,we come from beyond the stars."
"That's impossible,no one can come from there." The elder said.
"You really expect us to believe you're from beyond the stars?" Sokka asked.
"This from the guy who was hogtied by a girl." Eli said,having caught a glimpse of Sokka,as he ran past the hut.
Sokka fumed.
"I can prove it." Neo chimed in.
"Just untie me,give me my knapsack and I'll show you."
Everyone was reluctant about it, but then Aang spoke up.
"Let him do it." He said.
"Aang,are you sure?" Katara asked.
"Yeah,I can't put my finger on it,but something tells me we should trust them."
"You." Neo said.
"Who are you?"
"He's the avatar." Everyone said.
"Still don't know what that is."
After they untied him,Neo asked for his knapsack and reluctantly they gave it to him,he then pulled out a triangular object and gave the knapsack back.
Standing in the middle of the room they were in,Neo held the object in his hands,closed his eyes and began to channel the force while standing completely still and clearing his mind.
Suddenly the object began to move and Float in mid air and expanded.
It then showed a great vast star system of the republic,which amazed everyone(including Sokka).
"This is the galaxy of which me and Eli helm from." Neo began.
"And this planet right here is Coruscant,the center of the galactic republic as well as the home of the Jedi."
"What's a Jedi?" Aang asked.
"And how are you making that thing do that?" Katara added.
"A Jedi is what Neo and I are." Eli said,after being untied.
"They were peacekeepers of the republic who handled situations from diplomatic dilemmas to civil conflicts and negotiations with other systems.
"They also tried to keep the force balanced."Neo added.
"And the force is?" Sokka said,skeptically.
"The force is what gives the Jedi its power,it's an energy field created by all living things,It surrounds us,it penetrates us,and it binds the galaxy together."
"Oh so it's a bunch of nonsense."
"You will go pound your head against that wall." Neo said, waving his hand around.
"I will go pound my head against the wall."Sokka repeated,as if in a trance.
He then proceeded to pound his head against a wall,much to everyone's shock.
"Jedi mind trick that only works on the weak minded."
"You said 'they' were." Katara said,watching her brother continue to pound his head against the wall.
"What did you mean by that?"
Neo and Eli kept quiet for a moment before Neo started speaking again.
"They were destroyed recently." He answered,solemnly.
"We were betrayed by one of our own,everyone we knew, our masters, our friends, they're all gone."
Everyone was shocked to hear this,none more so than Aang.
"What about Jedi across this galaxy?" Katara asked,looking at the hologram.
"Couldn't they have survived?"
"Perhaps." Neo said.
"But they're all over,if we were attacked on our home turf,then chances are they were attacked there too.
"In a way,Eli and I could very well be the last of our kind."
That last sentence made Aang look down in grief,for he too knew what that was like.
Later when everything calmed down,Sokka(after Neo stopped him from hitting his head against the wall)decided to swallow his pride and asked Suki to teach him their ways of fighting,to which they agreed but on the condition that he follow their traditions including dressing like them.
Meanwhile,Neo and Eli were eating in the hut where Aang and the others were staying,while Katara was practicing water bending.
"So you're saying everyone on this planet can control the elements?" Eli asked with his mouth full.
"Eli manners." Neo said while drinking water.
"Sorry."Eli said with his mouth still full,earning a look from Neo.
"No Eli,not everyone can bend,some people like Sokka are just normal people." Katata explained.
"Oh."
"And Aang is the only person who can bend all four?" Neo asked.
"Yes,well not yet,he still needs to master water,earth,and fire.
"We're going to the north pole to learn waterbending,I can waterbend,but I'm not really that good, you guys can come with us if you want."
Eli perked up at this,until Neo spoke.
"Thanks for the offer,but first thing in the morning we're gonna head out and start finding our way in this world." He said.
Katata had told them about the 100 year war,while Neo had told her about the clone wars,and the last thing he wanted was to get involved in another.
Just then,Aang walked into the room with a mischievous look on his face.
"Katara,remember when the Unagi almost got me yesterday?" He asked coyly.
"Yeah."Katara said,disinterested.
Neo however,could sense the tension from Katara.
"Well I'm gonna go ride it now,and it's gonna be really dangerous."
"Good for you"
"You're not gonna stop me?"
"Nope,have fun."
"I will."
"Great."
"I know it's great."
"I'm glad you know."
"I'm glad you're glad."
"Good."
"Fine!"
Aang then walked away saddened by the exchange between him and Katara,Katara felt the same.
Eli then got up and started going after Aang.
"Where are you going?"Neo asked.
"I'm gonna go watch Aang." Eli said.
Neo sighed.
"Just be careful."
Eli nodded and left.
"You know,you seem to care more about him than you let on." Katara said.
"Well he is all I have left of the order.
" You care about him don't you?"
"Who,Eli?"
"No Aang."
Katara blushed a little bit before answering.
"He's the last of his kind and has no one but Appa and Momo,so Sokka and I,we sort of became his new family,I just don't want him to get hurt.
"I mean he's the avatar and the fire nation wants him dead,I just don't think he seems to understand what that means.
"Eventually they'll find out he's here and come for him,and it makes me worry."
"I understand,if Aang is as important as you say he is,he has a huge responsibility." Neo said.
Katara nodded.
"But you need to remember one thing."
Katara looked at him in confusion.
"He's still a kid,a child,and like any child,he's gonna act up,he's gonna act immature, and not always take things seriously.
"But when the time is right,he'll realize it's time to grow up and take responsibility,and when he does it will all work out in one way or another."
Katara stared wide-eyed at how wise Neo was for his age,after thinking for a bit,she decided to go check on Aang.
"I'm gonna go check on Aang and Eli." She said.
"Of course."
"And...thank you."
"No problem."
After she had left,Neo just sat there for a bit before he started sensing something he was all to familiar,it wasn't the warriors or Aang it was something around the lines of anger,despair,and wasn't just because it was feelings that led to the dark side,it was because Neo himself had once felt these things.
Getting up from his spot on the floor,he looked outside and looked toward the seas.
Hopping out the window and onto the roof,he then jumped over to the statue of avatar Kyoshi and climbed to the top and looked out to sea watching for whatever was coming.
Over at the shore,Aang was in the water waiting for the unagi to come while the girls and Eli waited on shore,and the girls were getting impatient.
"What's taken so long?" One girl asked.
"I'm sure it will be here any second." Aang said.
He then pulled a marble out and started spinning it in mid air.
"What about this?"
"That's so awesome." Eli called out.
But the girls were not as impressed.
"Not that again...boring." Another girl said.
"Where's the unagi,it's getting late?"
"Where are you going,don't leave?"
"Sorry Aang,maybe next time."
As the girls left leaving only Aang and saw Katara walking up to them.
"Katara you showed up." Aang said,excitedly.
"I wanted to make sure you were safe." She said.
"You really had me worried."
"But back there you acted like you didn't care."
"I'm sorry."
"Me too, I did let all that go to my head,I acted Like a real jerk."
"Well get out of the water before you catch a cold you big jerk."
"On my way."
"So are you two guys like a thing or something?" Eli asked,and Katara blushed a deep red.
"No,why would we be a thing,we barely know each other?" She exclaimed.
"I was just-." Eli then noticed something following Aang in the water.
"Um, what exactly does the unagi look like?"
Katara then looked out and saw the unagi following Aang.
The unagi then rose from the water and revealed itself to the three.
"WHOE!" Eli said.
"That thing is huge,Aang you might want to get out of the water!"
The unagi started spraying water at Aang,who hid behind one of the fins,then the unagi went to jab at him and Aang grabbed one of the whiskers and the unagi started swinging Aang aground while he held on for dear life.
"Hang on Aang!" Katara yelled.
"Don't think he has much of a choice." Eli said.
The unagi then tossed Aang into the water and knocked him out, Katara and Eli then ran to go get him as the unagi was coming up on them.
Katara got to Aang first and then pushed him and her back using water bending, Eli looked and saw the unagi coming and started running on the water back to Aang and katara.
"Thanks for leaving me behind to save your boyfriend Katara." He said when he caught up to them.
"Sorry."Katara said apologetically,before realizing what he just said.
"And he's not my boyfriend."
"Whatever."
After the unagi had sprayed water at them and left ,Eli and Katara looked over the rocks they were behind,and saw a ship coming to the island.
"Zuko."
"That's the guy who wants Aang right?"
Katara went to wake up Aang and then bent the water out of him too which he started coughing.
"Katara,Eli?" He said weakly to a relieved Katara and Eli.
"Don't ride the unagi,it's not fun."
Neo saw the ship arrive and jumped down in front of the elder,Suki,and Sokka(who was dressed as a warrior)
"You need to evacuate the village and get everyone to safety now." He said.
"I already have the girls preparing to face them." The elder said.
"No offense sir,your girls fight all well and good,but even they won't be able to hold them alone."
"What, you think we can't protect ourselves because we're girls?" Suki asked offensively.
"No."
Suki looked at him confused.
"Because if these guys are as Strong as you say you'll need my help, I've fought alongside some female warriors in my time,and there were even some powerful Jedi that were female who were even on the council.
"Even my master's wife beat me at some sparring matches whenever we visited her home planet."
This caught the warriors by surprise,this young man actually respected women who could fight.
"Now." Neo continued.
"We can hold them off long enough for Aang,Katara, Sokka,and Eli to escape."
"What?" A voice from behind said.
Neo turned and saw Eli with Katara and Aang.
"You're not coming with us?"
Neo just put his hand on top of Eli's head.
"I'll do what I can,now go with them and get everyone to safety."
Eli reluctantly complied and went with Aang,Katara,and the elder to evacuate the village.
"Good luck Neo." Suki said.
"You too." He said.
"Yeah,good luck." Sokka said sheepishly before he started walking away.
"Hey Sokka."
"Yeah?"
"Nice dress."
"Hey, it's a warrior's uniform."
"Worn by girls."
Sokka then gritted his teeth.
Neo just laughed.
"May the force be with you Sokka."
Neo then jumped to a nearby building,while Sokka got into position.
A short time later,the firebenders were riding into the village.
"Come out avatar." The leader yelled.
"You can't hide from me forever."
Suddenly the warriors started going on the attack,as Suki began to make her way towards the leader and just as he was about to fire at her,he noticed something in the corner of his eye.
As he looked up and saw Neo sliding off the roof,before jumping towards him delivering a punch knocking him off his rhino.
Zuko looked up and started shooting fireballs at him,but Neo Dodged every strike.
As Zuko was about to fire again,Neo blocked the hit and then punched him in the gut,then he threw Zuko over his shoulder and looked to see the village catching fire.
As Zuko was getting up,Neo used the force to push him back much to Zuko's shock.
He then went looking for Eli and the others as the warriors continued to fight.
As he made his way through the village,he came across Aang,Eli,and Katara standing by a house,as Aang had a look of distraught.
"Look what I brought to this place." He heard Aang say sadly.
"It's not your fault." Katara said,trying to cheer him up.
"Yes it is ,these people got their town destroyed because of me."
"Then go." Neo said,walking up to them.
"Leave this place,Zuko will leave to follow you.
"It may feel wrong but it's the only way."
"I'll call Appa."
"Suki,call everyone back."
"But this is our home." Suki argued.
"We're not giving it up."
"Not telling you to,but pull everyone back and I'll handle the rest..Eli."
Eli walked up to Neo with the knapsack.
"I need IT."
Eli dug through the napsack and pulled out Neos' lightsaber.
"Now go with them."Neo ordered,after receiving his lightsaber.
"But..."Eli tried to argue.
"Don't worry I'll be right behind you,I promise."
Eli reluctantly followed Aang and Katara towards Appa.
"What is that,some sort of secret weapon?" Sokka asked.
"Sokka,I'm about to let everyone in on a big secret."
Neo then walked past him and Suki,and made his way to Zuko.
"There's no time to say goodbye." Suki said to Sokka.
"What about I'm sorry."Sokka replied to her.
"For what?"
"I treated you Like a girl,when I should have treated you like a warrior."
"I am a warrior." She then kissed him on the cheek,surprising him and causing him to blush.
"But I'm a girl too,now go."
Sokka then went and got on Appa with the others,and Aang said yip yip and they took off.
Meanwhile, Neo came face to face with Zuko and the firebenders who began to fire at him,but Neo just stepped aside with each blast that came.
Zuko ordered his men to stop as they watched Neo take out his lightsaber,and caused it to come to life in a blue blade and then he got into a fighting stance.
"TAKE HIM!" Zuko ordered,and the firebenders attacked.
One bender fired a ball at him and Neo caused it to dissolve by slashing it,he then used the lightsaber to cut the bender's leg causing him to fall to the ground wounded and crying in pain.
He then cut a spear in half and wounded another by cutting his leg and then used the force to force the last two into Zuko who crashed into the statue.
When Zuko came to his senses,he found the blue blade in his face,feeling the end was coming, he closed his eyes and braced for the final blow,but instead heard a 'whoosh'.
Opening his eyes,he saw that Neo had put the blade away.
"I know your eyes." He said.
"I have them too...despair."
Neo then walked past him and went into the woods,leaving Zuko and his wounded alone.
Neo eventually went into a sprint and came up to a cliff,where Appa came and got him.
After climbing into the Saddle,he saw the confused faces of Aang,Sokka,and Katara.
"What?" He asked.
He realized they must have seen the fight and told them that the lightsaber was a Jedi's weapon of choice in defense and combat.
Aang looked back and saw the flames of Kyoshi island burning and felt bad for leaving.
"I know it's hard,but you did the right thing." Katara said,seeing Aang distraught.
"Zuko would have destroyed the whole place if we stayed,they're gonna be ok Aang."
But Aang instead jumped off Appa and into the water.
"What are you doing?" Katara called out.
"He's growing up." Neo said.
Then Aang,on the unagi,came out of the water and put out the fire,after which Appa came and picked him up.
"I know I know,that was stupid and dangerous." He said,after climbing back on.
"Yes it was." Katara said,to which she hugged him much to his enjoyment.
"I already asked." Eli whispered to Neo,who just nodded.
"So what about you guys?" Sokka asked.
"Yeah,still wanna go out on your own?" Katara asked.
Eli looked to Neo hopefully,causing him to sigh.
"Alight,we'll stay.
"We don't really know anything about this world,and I think I just fought the fire prince,so I think it may be best if we just stayed with you guys."
"YES!" Eli shouted.
"Great welcome to the family." Aang said.
While it may not have been Neo's personal preference,but the truth of the matter was that they were foreign to this world,and needless to say,they were gonna need a guide.
But Neo was sure of two things,he and Eli were safe,and things,were never gonna be the same.
