Episode 7
Dipper and the king of Omashu.
It had been a whole week since the team escaped Paris, The Freedom watch team then flashed out of a great Yellow light and lay about exhaustively, they were battered, weary and shaken up by most recent events.
Jack: So… We managed to survive that.
Mark looked down at the warp gem and sighed.
Mark: Escaping Tak's ambush was a close call, too close.
Mac: Now it'll take forever to get to Caer Daythl.
Dib: Well at least we're close enough.
Dipper: We're in the Earth Kingdom! That's as far away from Europe as Possible!
Mark: And with the Warp gem's power all used up…
The team all looked at each other helplessly, Until Aang had an Idea.
Aang: Hey, If we are in the Earth Kingdom, At least we can still find somewhere to try and call Caer Daythl.
Jack: We tried calling them Aang, And each time, nothing.
Aang: Well… The place I'm talking about might help.
And so the group began yet another trek to the place Aang spoke of, Until they came to the crest of a partially snow covered hill.
Mark: So Aang, This place you spoke of, Are we nearly there?
Aang: Almost, Just a few more steps and… we're here.
Vana: Wnere?
Aang: The Earth kingdom city of Omashu!
The team stared in awe at the site of a large city in the valley in front of them.
Aang: I used to always come here to visit my friend Bumi.
Katara: Wow, We don't have cities like this back in the south pole, At least not ones Abandoned and overrun with Corsairs.
Sokka: They have buildings that don't melt.
Jack: So did Paris… Why didn't you stare in amazement then?
Sokka: I don't know, maybe I was too busy hiding from Fanatical Judges and Flying Monsters!
Mark: Well, there's None of those here, I hope.
Aang: There isn't, C'mon everyone! The real funs inside
Aang then Launched into the air and landed further down the hill.
Dib: Does that forbid trouble?
Intro.
Crossover Legends Theme plays: watch?v=vemHSTYuIM0
Intro ends.
As Aang landed down at the bottom of the hill, The others quickly caught up to him.
Dipper: Aang wait! It might be Dangerous If people there find out you're the Avatar, Or if they find the Chaos Emerald we have, We're lucky those factors didn't worsen our situation in Paris.
Mark: Dipper's right, We need a disguise for you.
Mac: What happened to that cloak He wore?
Flashback.
Aang: AAAAAHHHGGGG! FIRE! (Runs around with his cloak alight.)
Jack: Never leave the cooking to Mac…
Mac nervously grinned.
Flashback.
Mac: How was I supposed to know Handgrenades aren't ingredients to a campfire?
Jack just facepalmed.
Aang: So what should I do Now? Grow a mustache?
Later.
Aang soon found himself wearing Appa's fur as hair and a mustache.
Aang: Ugh, This fur is so Itchy,
He turned to Appa.
Aang: How do you live in this stuff?
Appa blew his Nostrils at him in response.
Vana: Couldn't we have just gotten him another cloak?
Dib: Yeah, He looks just like…
Jack: Grrr…
Dib: … MY Grandma…
Aang began Imitating an old man.
Aang: Come on you whippersnappers! Get a move on Now, The big city Awaits!
Sometime later.
Aang: You guys are gonna love Omashu, The People here are the friendliest in the world.
Dipper: Really?
Mark: In his time maybe, But I remember being to this city before, With my father, The place seemed alright then, But… Times do change…
Voice: Rotten cabbages!
He Turns out to be a guard, who was inspecting a Cabbage wagon.
Guard: What kinda slum do you think this is?
The guard then used Earthbending to knock the Cabbage wagon over the side of the road.
Merchant: No! My Cabbages!
Jack: Hopefully not too badly…
The Team approached the gate.
Guard: State your business.
Mark: We are Members of the Freedom watch, We'd like to seek refuge in your city for a while.
Guard: Freedom watch?! Of… of Course C'mon in, Enjoy Omashu.
The gates opened as the Team walked into the city and Stared in Awe at what they saw.
The whole city was a gleaming busting metropolis of sandy mortar and green roof tops, everywhere they looked they saw large stone baskets being shot down massive slides.
Dipper: Whoa…
Mac; Quite a place.
Vana: Imagine settling down here.
Dib: What are all those Stone slides?
Aang: It's the Omashu delivery system.
Mark: Yes, A large Network of Tubes and Chuts, Earthbending brings up the packages and Gravity brings them down.
Sokka: Great so they get their mail on time.
Jack: I would have used a raven myself.
Aang: Yeah But this works too, And My friend Bumi found a better use for these Chuts.
Flashback.
Aang's memory flashed back to that day when he visited Momashu, Bumi took him up to the shutes and showed him something.
Bumi: Look around you, What do you see?
Aang: Umm, The Mail system?
Bumi: Instead of seeing what they want you to see, You gotta open your brain to the possibilities.
Aang: Like what?
Bumi: The world's Greatest super slide!
Aang: Bumi, You're a mad genius.
Bumi's only reply was a snorting cackle. Soon enough, the two boys were riding down the chute at top speed.
Flashback Ends.
Back In the Present Day, Dipper, Vana, Aang, Sokka and Katara were in the same spot as in the flashback, With Mark, Jack, Mac and Dib behind them.
Mark: One Ride, Then we find somewhere to stay for the night, Got it?
Aang: Sure thing.
Dipper: I'm starting to think this was a bad Idea-AAAHHHH
The Kids then rapidly slid down the chute in the stone bin.
Jack: How did you get talked into this…?
Mark: I don't know…
Back with the kids,
Vana: I think I'm gonna Hurl-
She Attempted to hold back her breakfast.
Sokka: I want my Mommy!
A neighboring Chute became visible to the riders and the basket on it appeared to be carrying a rack of Spears
Katara: That's… Not gonna merge with us is it?
It did.
Dipper: Oh Crap!
Sokka quickly ducked his head to avoid the Spears.
Vana: Aang!
Aang: I'm on it!
Aang then Derails them out of the chute, this led to them free falling off a rooftop.
Earth Kingdom Officer: Men, You'll be going off to combat soon, It's important that you be prepared for anything.
The Bin crashed in front of the assembled troops and the Frame Stopped
Dipper: Hey, You ever have those moments where you wonder-
Vana: We're Not doing that!
Dipper: Aw.
The Frame Resumes motion, sending the kids hurtling towards another shute,
Aang: (Airbends to Propel the bin into another Chute.)
Katara: Aang Do something! Use your Airbending!
Dipper: No! Don't use your airbending!
Aang: Hey yeah, That'll make us go faster.
Aang proceeded to blast air behind them, making them go faster.
Dipper: NOOO!
The kids Approached an off-load point and Screamed as they were about to crash into another bin. Luckily it was pushed out of the way, Only for another Bin to Appear, They Crashed into it and flew off the Track.
Dipper: I don't wanna die!
Aang quickly airbended them back into the Bin, from thereThe kids skidded down roof tops, Crashing into the house of a Man who was quietly doing pottery.
Aang: Sorry!
Next, They crashed through more homes. One of them has a cat which MoMo immediately got in a fight with, for some reason.
Vana: Look out!
This time, They crashed through the wall of a Balcony, Down below that Cabbage Guy from earlier with his Cabbages when the kids crashed onto his Cart.
Cabbage Merchant: My Cabbages! You're gonna pay for this!
Aang's disguise was gone by now, and several guards were surrounding them.
Aang: This was a bad Idea.
Dipper: This was your Idea!
Later.
The Five culprits were brought before the king of Omashu himself, He was an exceptionally old man, dressed in green earth bender robes, And wore a strange green cap with two giant blue pheasant feathers, He seemed to look at Aang with a sense of Familiarity.
Guard: Your majesty, These juveniles have been arrested for Vandalism, Traveling under false pretenses, and Malicious destruction of Cabbages.
Merchant: Off with their Heads! One for each pound of Cabbage.
Guard: Silence, Only the King can pass judgment, What is your Judgment sire?
King: Hmm.
The King looked upon the expressions of each other children, Sokka and Vana were trying not to look nervous, Katara's face was plastered with an innocent smile, Almost pleading for leniency, Dipper looked like he was going to faint from terror and finally, He settled on Aang, who was desperately trying to look invisible, For a moment, something twinkled in his eye before he spoke.
King: Throw them…
Dipper: Oh god…
King: A feast!
Guard: Huh?
Merchant: Aww!
Dipper: What?
Aang: Huh?
Later.
The kids were then seated at a long table loaded with Food.
King: Heh, Heh, Heh, The people in my city have gotten fat from too many feasts, So I hope you like your chicken with no meat.
Aang: Thanks but I don't eat meat.
The King then turned to Vana.
King: How about you? I bet you like meat.
He shoved the chicken leg in her mouth, which she soon began eating.
Vana: Mmm.
Dipper: I… Have no idea what to make of this.
Katara: I think this guy's crown's a little crooked.
King: So my Friends, Where are you all from?
Dipper: Well… You can probably tell where Katara and Sokka are from, I'm from… Piedmont…
Vana: And I'm was… from Splittsboro.
King: Splittsboro eh? Hmm, Terrible business there…
Vana looked down sadly, while the King turned to Aang.
King: And you, my young man? WHere are you from?
Aang:
King: Oh, Kangaroo Island Eh? I hear that place is really hoping.
Sokka let out a Laugh, only for the others to look at him awkwardly.
Sokka: What? I thought that was pretty funny.
Finally the King let out a yawn and got up.
King: Well, All these good jokes are making me tired, Guess it's time to hit the hay.
Then without warning, he threw a chicken wing at Aang. On instinct alone, he caught the projectile with his airbending, The Guards gasped at what they saw before their very eyes.
King: There's an Airbender in our midst and Not just any Airbender, The Avatar.
Sokka: Oh.
Vana: Crud.
Aang dropped the chicken wing and sat awkwardly in his seat.
King: Now, What do you have to say for yourself, My little Friends?
Aang slowly began to get up.
Aang: Okay, You caught me, I'm the Avatar, Doing my Avatar thing, Keeping the world safe,
He looked under the Table, And then took Sokka and Katara by the shoulders.
Aang: No Villains here, Good Work everybody!
And with that, he slowly backed away to the doors.
Aang: Love Each Other, Respect all life and Don't run with your spears, We'll see you next time!
But before he could leave, The guards blocked the door.
Katara: You can't keep us here, Let us Leave!
King: Lettuce leaf?
He then proceeded to chew said lettuce leaf up.
Sokka: This guy is nuts.
Vana: Does he even know who he's dealing with?
King: Tomorrow the Avatar will face three deadly challenges, But for now, The guards will show you to your chamber.
Guard: My liege do you mean the good chamber or the Bad Chamber?
King: The newly refurbished chamber.
Guard: Wait, Which one are we talking about?
King: The one that used to be the bad chamber, Until the recent refurbishing that is, Of course, We've been calling it the new chamber but, We really should number them, Uh, Take them to the refurbished Chamber that was once bad!
The five were taken away by the guards, And put in a surprisingly comfortable room.
Katara: This is a prison cell? It's so nice.
Aang: He did say it was Refurbished.
Sokka: Nice or Not were prisoners here.
Dipper; oh, I wish Uncle Mark was here.
Meanwhile,
Outside the city, Mark, Jack, Dib and Mac were looking all over for the Dipper and the others.
Dib: Vana!?
Mac: Sokka?!
Jack: Aang?!
Mark: Where are they?... They can't be dead…
Jack: Mark, They're not dead, we'll find them.
Dib: But where could they have gone?
Mark thought for a moment, before looking upwards towards the palace, A look of worry on his face.
Back at the Palace.
King: First Avatar, What do you think of my new outfit, I want your honest opinion.
Aang just stared, the King's outfit was the same as before the other day, but Purple.
King; I'm waiting.
Aang: It looks… Fine… I guess.
King: Excellent! You passed the first test!
Aang: Really?
King: Well, Not one of the Deadly tests, The real Challenges are much more… Challenging.
Aang lost patience at that moment and using his airbending speed, Stormed up to the King, as the resulting whined current whooshed past him.
Aang: I don't have Time for you're Crazy games! Gimmie my friends back! We're leaving! Now!
King: Oh, I thought you might Refuse…
A door on the right of them opened up to reveal Katara and Sokka being held by Guards.
King: I will give two of your friends some delightful souvenirs, Those delightful little rings are made of Pure Genimite, Also known as Creeping Crystal, It's a crystal that grows incredibly fast, By nightfall those two will be completely covered in it, Terrible Fate really, I can stop it, But only if you cooperate.
The Rings on each of their fingers began to grow larger as he spoke.
Sokka: Ah! It's already creeping!
Aang: I'll do as you want, Wait? What about Dipper and Vana?
Meanwhile,
Dipper and Vana sat in another room. This time it's not a cell but actually a guest room, Vana was banging on the door.
Vana: Hey! Let us out!
Dipper: No one's gonna answer you know.
Vana: They'd Better! Cause IF they don't I'll break their backs so hard they won't be able to sit in a chair for…!
Dipper: How does breaking their backs prevent them from Sitting?
Vana: I… How am I supposed to… Just Shut up! I wonder if the others are.
With Aang.
Aang charged into a waterfall and grabbed a lunch box. He started to climb a ladder, But was held back by the force of the water.
King: Ohh, Climbing the ladder, No one's thought of that before.
Aang soon lost his grip and fell out of the Waterfall.
Back with Dipper and Vana.
Dipper: He's probably fine.
Vana: Yeah.
The two sat in silence for a few moments,
Vana: So… We just… Sit around.
Dipper: Can we do anything else?
Vana didn't reply.
Dipper: What's the Splittboro incident?
Vana: I don't wanna talk about it.
Dipper: Why not? What exactly-?
Vana: I said, Drop it!
Just then, A Door opened and a guard entered the room.
Guard: The King has requested your presence, The Avatar has completed two of the three challenges, He is to begin the final Challenge soon.
Dipper And Vana looked at each other in surprise.
Later.
Soon, they were brought before an Earthbending Arena.
King: The final test is a dual and as a special treat you may choose your opponent.
Two enormous gladiators show up on either side of the king, One was a large man with an Ax, the other was a green clad hunter with what looked like a scythe kind of weapon.
King: Choose Wisely.
Aang: You're saying whoever I point to, I have to fight?
King: Again, Choose Wisely.
Aang thought it over, before answering.
Aang: Then I choose…
He finally pointed up at the king.
Aang: You!
King: Wrong Choice.
And with that, He suddenly corrected his posture and removed his Robes to reveal a surprisingly muscular Physique.
Dipper: Whoa.
Vana: There's something you don't see everyday.
The King then proceeds to stomp on the Ground and knocked Aang back into the Arena.
Aang: Ah!
Aang then landed in the dust, while the King launched himself into the arena after him and stood over him Laughing Evilly.
Oh Boy, Aang's in trouble now, Well folks now a…
Dipper: Hey!
What?
Dipper: You can't end the Episode here! What the Heck!
C'mon it's my story I should be able to do what I want with it.
Dipper: But Aang's Endanger you can't end it here!
Well, That's the point of the cliffhanger, I'm Trying to leave the Audience in suspense here.
Dipper's only reply was a stern look.
Oh Alright I'll keep it going.
King: You thought I was a frail old man, But I'm the most powerful earthbender you'll ever see.
Aang: Can I fight the guy with the Axe instead?
King: There are no take backsies in My kingdom, And you might need this.
A Guard on the balcony threw Aang his Staff, As the young airbender monk caught it, The King fired rocks at Aang who dodged them as best he could.
King: Typical Airbender Tactic, Avoid and Evade, I hoped the Avatar would be less difficult.
He fired another boulder at Aang, who evaded it and launched into the air.
King: Don't you have any surprises for me? Sooner or Later you'll have to strike back:
He kicked a boulder at the ceiling, Aang was Knocked to the ground by Debris, Then came straight at the King, while dodging rocks spawned by the king's earthbending.
King: You'll have to be a bit more creative than that.
Aang fired a beam of wind which the king blocked with a wall of Stone.
King: Are you hoping I catch a cold?
He fired a tidal wave of Rocks at Aang, Who was hit by them and sent sprawling back, but he regains his footing, King then sends a shock wave of rocks which Aang Jumps over.
Dipper: C'mon Aang…
King: How are you going to get me from way over there?
Aang then ran right at the king.
One long fight scene later.
King: Well done Avatar, You fight with much fire in your heart.
Vana: Fire killed his people you know.
King: You've passed all my tests, Now you must answer one Question, Answer it and I will set your friends free.
Dipper: And let us live?
King: Of course, What… Is my name?
Aang:... Whatl!?
King: What is my name?
Vana:... Are you kidding me?!
Dipper; How are we supposed to know that?! He hasn't even told us his name!
Katara: Think back to the Challenges.
Aang: I got a key from the Waterfall, Fought a giant goat rabbit thing, and had a duel with him.
Katara: What did you learn?
Aang: I had to think differently than I usually would… I know his name!
Vana: Really?
Later.
Aang: I solved the Question the same way I solved the challenges, Like you said I had to open my Brain to the Possibilities.
The King began to Snort and laugh at the same time, a characteristic Aang recognized all too well.
Aang: Bumi, You're a mad Genius.
Aang then ran up to his old friend and hugged him.
Dipper and Vana: Bumi?!
Bumi: Oh, Aang, It's so good to see you, You haven't Changed a bit, Literally.
Dipper:... You've got to be kidding.
Katara: Uh, Hello over Here…
Sokka; Little help?
With a wave of his hand, King Bumi broke the rocks encasing Sokka and Katara.
King Bumi: Geminite is made of rock candy.
Bumi then proceeded to take a bite.
King Bumi: Delicious.
Vana: Are you telling me, This batshit insane king… Is Aang's Old Friend?
King Bumi: Watch your language, And who are you calling old? Okay I'm old.
Katara: Why did you do all this instead of Tell Aang Who you were?
King Bumi: It's very fun Screwing with people.
Dipper: No it's not.
King Bumi: And Aang, You have difficult task ahead, The world has changed in the hundred years you've been gone, The forces of Evil are spreading their influence everywhere, The likes of Lord Jargafar and Fire lord Ozai are becoming more power mad than ever, Your team Must take the Chaos Emerald to Caer Dathyl and You must master the four elements to confront the Fire Lord, By the time you do, I hope think like a mad genius.
Aang: Sure thing.
Just tha, Mark, Dib, Jack and Mac burst through the Doors.
Mark: Guys! Are you okay, So sorry, King Bumi, Your majesty they did not mean any trouble whatsoever, Right?
Dipper: We kinda sorted things out already.
Mark: Oh.
Three days later.
After gathering provisions, The team left Omashu on Appa, and continued their journey, However as they flew over the land on Appa, A mysterious figure watched down below, He was a sinister looking figure, Dressed in Wild-West style'd clothes, A bandaged Tail and a Robotic left arm, he watched the Flying Biason go and smiled to himself.
Fleabyte: Well… Looks like I found my bounty…
