So I've been thinking about doing a Star Wars crossover story for awhile and now finally I'm getting around to doing one which I'll be working on alongside my other two ongoing cross overs at the moment Agent of Middle Earth (Agent Carter/Hobbit crossover) and House of M (Avengers/X-Men crossover). Trying to find a show that could be a good fit is the tricky part but I think I found a good one with Avatar. Granted there's another crossover story I recommend you guys check out also going on right now by Autobot 00001 but since that takes place after the series' end I wanted to do one set during the series. This will take place from the Kyoshi Warriors episode of Avatar on and after Season 2 Episode 16 of Rebels but before Episode 17 because I still want Kallus to be a bad guy before he redeems himself later on. If there's anything I'm doing wrong or you think could be improved upon please let me know. This is my first time writing for the Avatar TLA characters and also the Star Wars Rebels characters so if I'm rusty with how I handle them then that's why. I hope you enjoy.
In the far reaches of space in a galaxy far far away there was a battle for survival going on that not everyone was aware of. The centre factions in this war for survival was the ever growing Rebellions and the Galactic Empire. Many Rebel cells existed throughout the galaxy fighting for survival on various worlds and trying to bring down the Empire's tyranny. One of those Rebel cells and the most prominent ones was the crew of the Ghost who were affiliated with Phoenix Squadron. The crew in their latest assignment had been sent though into uncharted territory the rarely explored Unknown Regions to investigate possible Rebel Cells that were in need of help having received an anonymous call from this sector of the galaxy.
Ezra Bridger the Ghost's youngest recruit and currently their newest was walking up from his room up to the main deck where the leader his Jedi Master Kanan Jarrus and the ship's owner/pilot and the leader of Phoenix Squadron Hera Syndulla was flying the ship. Feeling sceptical about this mission Ezra decided to ask the two senior members of the group their thoughts on this mission "So do you really think there could be other Rebel cells hiding out here this far in the galaxy?"
"It's hard to say. The Unknown Regions are called the Unknown Regions for a reason. It's a vast unexplored part of the galaxy that very few people dare venture too. The Jedi themselves only travelled as far as the Illum system." Kanan answered also sensing a potential bad feeling about this mission.
"But we need to take whatever we receive if it means other Cells are possibly out there in need of our help. The more we rescue the more people align to our cause and the fight becomes larger" Hera said reminding them of the necessity of uniting the Cells.
"And if it's a trap by the Empire?" Ezra asked
"Then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it" Hera said as she moved the ship in closer.
Suddenly Ezra began to feel a strange sensation in the Force. Kanan noticed this and decided to ask his apprentice what was up. "Ezra? You alright?"
"I don't know. I'm feeling a disturbance. Can't you feel it too? It's like some kind of power is being drawn? Like a vast continent of power and we're being drawn to it" Ezra said trying to describe the feeling he was sensing in the Force.
"Yeah I'm feeling it too. But I can't sense what it is. It's almost like an imbalance" Kanan said as he tried to reach out in the Force.
Suddenly a Star Destroyer appeared in the sky with TIE Fighters surrounding it and flying into battle.
"Well looks like we're crossing that bridge after all." Hera said as she turned on the comms. "Sabine, Zeb man the guns!"
"Right away" Sabine said over the comm.
"Blasted karablast Imperials! We were tricked!" Zeb yelled over the comm.
"We'll talk about it later just keep firing!" Hera ordered as she turned to Ezra "Go man the Phantom's guns"
Ezra was still lost in thought he didn't hear Hera calling him.
"Ezra!" Hera repeated frantically as she maneuvered the ship out of way of fire.
Ezra then broke out of his trance as he proceeded to run out and head towards the Phantom "Right sorry my bad"
Hera raised her eyebrow as she looked at Kanan who couldn't give her much of a straight answer "It's a Jedi feeling we're both having. We'll deal with it later."
Before Hera could respond though she saw something that surprised her "What in the world? Is that what I think it is?"
Kanan looked out to see what she was talking about and was taken aback by what he saw. It looked to be a black hole. Such a celestial phenomenon was a rare thing to see but if such a sight were to appear somewhere then Unknown Regions would mostly likely be it. Suddenly that same feeling that he and Ezra sensed appeared again as the ship was starting to rock and move about "Hera?! What's going on?!"
"The black hole seems to be pulling us inside. I can't seem to veer away from it! It's like we're being caught in a tractor beam but we're not if that makes any sense!" Hera answered as she tried to move the ship to no avail.
"Yeah I get it loud and clear" Kanan responded.
"What's going on up there?" Sabine asked sounding worried
"Get back up here the both of you. Ezra you too" Hera said over the comm as she tried to steer control of the ship.
Ezra arrived just barely in time with the Phantom having been nearly caught by the black hole's power as he arrived on the deck along with the ship's other regular passengers the Mandalorian Sabine Wren and the Lasat Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios and the disgrunted astromech Chopper. "What's happening out there? Is this some kind of storm?"
"Seems to be a Black hole. A star here must have experienced a supernova. Must be unstable" Sabine answered as she observed the hole they were being pulled towards with a mixture of shock and awe.
"Well what happens to anyone who gets caught in one that's unstable?" Zeb asked annoyed
"Not many people come back to tell" Sabine answered bluntly.
Zeb rolled his eyes at this as he heard Chopper's grunts of disatisfaction below "Trust me you're the last person I wanted to die with but here we are. So get used to it you bucket of bolts!"
"Hang onto something kids mom is taking this thing for a ride." Hera said as she strapped herself in as did everyone else as the Ghost found itself being pulled into the black hole.
"Oh karablast!" Zeb exclaimed dreading what would come next.
Everyone braced for impact as they vanished through the black hole. Where they would end up much like the Unknown Regions itself would be unknown.
Meanwhile on the Star Destroyer that was chasing them their constant pursuer Agent Kallus was observing the chaos unfold. His observations were interupted however as Admiral Kassius Konstantine appeared to speak with him "Agent Kallus the Rebels have been seemingly sucked into the black hole. They've vanished sir."
"I can see that Admiral. And how do you intend to pursue them?" Kallus asked as if the matter was obvious
Konstantine was slightly surprised by this response "Pursue them sir? Surely they would have not survived such a cataclysm?"
"Until we sure that the Rebel threat is eliminated we must continue our pursuit Admiral." Kallus said reminding him of their objective.
"Agent Kallus is right" a calm almost seductive voice said as a tall slendor green skinned woman wearing what seemed to be a curved shaped helmet as well as having a small robotic droid perched on her shoulder walked onto the bridge of the Star Destroyer along with another person more brutish in nature with grey skin and wearing a helmet of his own. These were the two Inquisitors the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother respectively. "The Jedi threat remains on that ship and if it were to escape then that would mean reporting to Lord Vader of our failure of locating the Jedi. Tell me Admiral would you like to report to Lord Vader directly and tell him you lost the Jedi just because you had a theory they were eliminated?"
Konstantine hesitated upon hearing that as he saw the Fifth Brother scowl at him and the Seventh Sister giving a small smile of satisfaction indicating she had caught him in a trap with no way out. "No Inquisitor you're quite right. We will continue pursuing the Rebel threat"
"See to it that you do Admiral." The Fifth Brother said with a calm but threatening tone.
The two Inquisitors left the bridge as they headed to their quarters on the ship awaiting further instruction leaving Kallus and Konstantine alone.
"Proceed towards the black hole with caution Admiral. Alert me when we emerge on the other side" Kallus ordered as he began to walk away.
"Yes sir" Konstanine responded. As he saw Kallus walk out of earshot he then voiced his own opinion on the matter "The question is not when we emerge it is if we emerge?"
Shaking away any disconcern Konstanine ordered his men to proceed forward as they went in further towards the black hole in pursuit of the Rebels.
Meanwhile on the other side of the portal the Rebels themselves were in a less than stellar state. The Ghost while mostly ending up in a safe landing was now without a hyperdrive and out of fuel meaning they were now stuck on wherever they had landed.
"So are you sure we can't do anything?" Zeb asked still holding out hope for any good news.
"No. Hyperdrive is in bad shape and without fuel we wouldn't be moving anywhere anyway. Chopper and I can fix the hyperdrive but you guys will have to scout ahead to see if there's any fuel centre." Hera said before giving them a warning "And if it's not too much to ask try to stay out of trouble. We have no idea where we are in the galaxy so it could be crawling with Imperials or another threat entirely"
"When have we ever not got into trouble? Even if we don't try it still finds us no matter what. But we'll try this time." Ezra said giving a sly smile as Zeb grunted and pushed him along while Sabine followed behind.
"I'll keep an eye on them" Kanan said trying not to worry her as he followed them outside.
Looking out the window Hera could see the planet they seemed to be on. It looked to be a beach. The only planet she knew was surrounded by a beach was one rumoured to be in the Abrion system but this one looked to also be surrounded by mountains which that one wasn't. Wherever they were she hoped nothing to bad was about to happen.
On the surface of the possible planet Kanan, Ezra, Zeb and Sabine were walking around scouting the area though there seemed to be nothing of note other then the trees and mountains that seemed to be endless. Being an artist who prided herself on her paint Sabine wasn't fond of walking through the sand "Ugh all this sand in my boots is really getting too me and won't do any favours to my paint job."
Ezra and Zeb looked at each other feeling a bit mischeavious but Sabine caught onto their plot pretty quick "If you guys plan on pushing me in then go ahead. Unless you want your clothes to be pink forever?"
Both looked at each other sheepishly as Sabine gave them a smug smile "I didn't think so."
"Look we need to stay focused. Now keep an eye out for a fuel centre" Kanan said reminding them but suddenly stopped as he heard something "Wait."
"What's going on?" Ezra asked confused as to why they stopped
"I hear something. Do you guys hear it too?" Kanan asked them as he listened carefully
"Actually yeah. It sounds like kids laughing" Sabine responded now hearing it herself.
Suddenly Zeb spotted something "Up ahead!"
Everyone looked to see a ravine up ahead.
"Water. Thank the force. We won't die of possible heat exhaustion at least" Ezra said happily.
"Unless it's contaminated" Sabine said ruining the possible good news.
"Don't jinx it." Ezra said annoyed and hoping she was wrong.
"We'll go anyway. If people are around maybe there's shelter. Come on!" Kanan ordered as he signalled his crew to follow him.
The group ran a bit further towards the ravine albeit cautiously. Meanwhile up ahead at the ravine a group of entirely different individuals were playing about in area surrounding the water. Two young teens from from the Southern Water Tribe one of them a water bender Katara and her brother Sokka a non-bender respectively and their newest friend Aang also known as the Avatar as well as the Last Airbender along with his sky bison Appa and a lemur Momo were travelling the world in an attempt to find a water bending teacher for Aang so that he can master all the elements of Air, Water, Earth and reluctantly Fire in order to embrace his destiny as the Avatar and help bring back the world from control of the Fire Nation who was hunting them.
Aang at this moment in time was swimming toward the deep waters of the bay where a group of koi fish were. He dived under and immediately appeared again, now holding on to the back fin of one of these giant animals as it jumped out of the water before diving again. The siblings had different reactions each to this. Katara was smiling broadly and impressed at the sight of Aang riding the koi fish while Sokka was staring at the scene with an uninterested look upon his face and his arms crossed. Momo was also jumping excitedly up and down as Aang's koi fish reappeared again.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Aang laughed as he continued jumping along
"Whooh!" Katara exclaimed impressed
Aang continued riding the koi as two other koi jumped out of the water behind him to the left and right. Aang was still laughing loud with excitement as they raced through the water. Katara and Sokka were still on the beach watching this impressive display while Momo was still excitedly jumping up and down.
Katara addressed her brother who still had his arms crossed with a smile. "He looks pretty good out there."
Sokka however was unimpressed "Are you kidding? The fish is doing all the work."
Katara however before she could address his remakr noticed something behind Sokka and ran off to take care of it "No, Appa. Don't eat that!"
Appa grunted as Katara stopped him from doing what he was doing. Before she could continue however she heard something. Curious she carefully stopped for a moment as she looked around ready with an attack in hand. Could the Fire Nation have found them? Unknown to her however it wasn't the Fire Nation who was watching them but it was actually Kanan who was hiding behind a tree as he waited for Katara to leave. Noting that she was gone he contacted the others on their communicators which thankfully were still working.
"Guys you in a safe spot?" Kanan asked hoping they weren't spotted
"Yeah we're fine Kanan. So are you seeing this?" Ezra asked slightly confused as to why these kids were alone out here.
"Yeah. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Curious though why some kids are here on their own. Then again maybe the Empire got to them and all they have now is each other." Kanan said trying to come up with a reason as to why these kids were here by themselves.
"The bald kid with the tatoos seems awfully happy if his home was destroyed by the Empire" Sabine said trying to put a pin in that argument.
"So what's our move?" Zeb asked feeling a tad impatient.
"Stay in stealth mode until I say otherwise." Kanan ordered
"Great my favourite kind of mode" Zeb groaned as he discommunicated along with the others.
While he didn't want to reveal their presence yet out of caution that the Empire was nearby there was another reason that Kanan chose not to reveal their presence to these kids yet. He couldn't quite describe it but he sensed a great power inside the kid with the tatoos that was untapped almost like when he first discovered Ezra's force ability. It was as if this power was locked and was ready to be opened. Could this kid be Force sensitive? He also sensed a great power flowing from the girl but it wasn't as strong as the bald boy's while the boy with the pony tail seemed to exhibit no Force sensitivity or power of any kind. Again they needed to tread carefully.
Meanwhile back with the other group Aang was still atop the fish smiling, in an attempt to impress Katara. His face turned to one of disappointment however as he saw Katara running off thinking he was the reason "Oh man ... "
Two koi fish suddenly changed their direction, including Aang's, which swerved away leaving behind one koi fish that continued to race forward. A dark shadow of a large body suddenly appeared beneath the water's surface directly behind the koi fish.
Sokka noticing this suddenly became alarmed "There's something in the water!"
One koi fish attempted to leap out of the water only to be pulled back under the surface by something unknown. Aang was still surfing on the koi fish's back, smiling widely, unaware of the danger.
Katara reappeared next to her brother again while Momo is screeching in alarm. "What's wrong?"
"Aang's in trouble." Sokka answered as he yelled out to the boy "Aang!"
"Get out of there!" Katara called to no avail.
Aang was gripping the dorsal fin of the fish, his smile having now faded as he began to look surprised at the commotion on the shore. From his perspective, Katara and Sokka were motioning for him to exit the water by flailing their arms and calling to him from far away.
"Get back here, Aang!" Sokka called in an attempt to bring him back.
Aang, however remained unaware as he believed them to be cheering him on, waved only to suddenly be hurled off the koi fish, into the water when the koi fish was being pulled under.
"Whaaaahh! Aaaah!" Aang cried as he waved his arms and legs in a franctic panic.
Aang plunged into the water as the koi fish he was mounted atop disappeared under the water. Suddenly he resurfaced a few minutes later and gasped for breath as the massive dorsal fin of the unknown creature emerged from the surface directly behind him.
Aang turned around, suddenly alarmed by the sight of the fish behind him. "Whaaaahh!"
Unaware that he was watching them Ezra, Sabine and Zeb who had caught this display were observing this with mixed reactions. They wanted to go in and help but knew they couldn't defy Kanan's orders. Even though that didn't stop them before however as Ezra was now about to defy them.
"I'm going in there" Ezra said as he ran from their hiding place.
"Ezra wait!" Sabine called out to him in an attempt to stop him.
"Karablast that kid!" Zeb yelled as he tried to pull him back to no avail.
The dorsal fin of the creature swerved off to the side as Aang used his airbending to run across the surface of the lake at lightning speed. Ezra who was running out to help suddenly stopped as he saw a heavily panting Aang fleeing the scene, his feet treading water thanks to his use of Airbening, the creature following him in hot pursuit.
"Woah" Ezra exclaimed upon seeing such speed. Suddenly he began to sense something. A great power. And it was emmitting from that kid. But he was so young? It felt like his power was locked inside of him ready to be unleashed. He then reached out in the Force as he tried to connect with the creature.
Sokka and Katara were standing on the shore unaware of Ezra's presence. Sokka suddenly grew alarmed as Aang collided straight into him, having reached the shore safely. The dorsal fin of the creature disappeared beneath the surface having been called off by Ezra. Katara ran to where her brother and Aang had come to a halt. Sokka was leaning against a tree trunk, a trail marking where his body slid across the ground. Aang was dressing himself as Katara and Momo approached the two.
"What was that thing?" Katara asked alarmed and confused
"I don't know." Aang said equally as confused
"Well, let's not stick around to find out. Time to hit the road." Sokka said standing up and wiping his hands together.
Katara however spotted Ezra standing alone having sent the fish back into the water "Look!"
The other two looked over confused as they saw the young boy in the orange jumpsuit with long black hair who turned to greet them "Hey. I saw you guys needed a hand so I stepped into help. It's kind of a thing my friends and I do."
"Did you bring the creature here to attack us?" Aang said as he got into a fighting stance.
"What? No. I just sent the thing back into the water. It's a thing I can do sometimes when I reach out with the Force. He won't be bothering you again" Ezra said giving them a smile
The kids however were confused as Sokka whispered to his sister "What's the Force?"
Before they could get answers however several female warriors clad in green kimonos suddenly descended from the treetops ambushing the trio and Ezra. The women quickly encircled the group and began to take them out. Sokka was being pulled back and knocked over while Katara was pulled by her arm. As she leaned in to maintain her balance, someone pulled her parka over her head and pulled her down. Aang who was being distracted by Katara's struggles and also what Ezra said about the Force, was giving the opportunity to another female warrior to grab him by his collar. Momo flew up screeching from his shoulder, only to be quickly caught in a bag, only his head still protruding. A group of warriors surrounded Ezra as he pulled out his lightsaber and waved it at them.
"Look I don't want to fight a group of girls. So let's just all put down our weapons okay?" Ezra asked trying to be diplomatic.
They didn't listen however as two of the warriors attempted to ambush Ezra who avoided their attacks by dodging and using his lightsaber to block. The warriors while confused by his style of fighting and quick moves still none the less continued to attack as one managed to sweep his leg and knock him to the ground. Deactivating his lightsaber for a second Ezra switched it to stun mode as he blasted one of the warriors who fell down thanks to the electric shock and jerked about in pain.
"Sorry! It's nothing personal!" Ezra yelled as one of the warriors then punched him in the face knocking him to the ground unconscious.
Having successfully defeated him the warriors dragged Ezra towards a bound and blindfolded Momo, Aang, Katara, and Sokka who were now thrown on the ground in a line. They were all now surrounded by the female warriors trapping them.
"Or, we could stay a while." Sokka said now changing his tune.
Ezra slowly came too as Sokka whispered to him "Did you do this? Is the Force responsible for this?"
"What no." Ezra said annoyed as he looked around for Kanan, Sabine and Zeb. Where were they?
His friends however remained in the shadows as they watched the group take them away. Zeb now noticing that were out of earshot began to voice his frustrations "So what do we do now?"
"We follow them obviously. I thought that would be obvious?" Sabine asked as they proceeded to walk forward before they heard Kanan's voice call out to them as he now had caught up with them.
"We need to be careful though. There's something about this I don't like" Kanan said as he shook his head in disapproval.
"When is there ever something not to dislike in a weird situation?" Sabine asked as she put her antenna on her helmet down and walked forward blasters in hand followed by Kanan and Zeb.
Meanwhile the group of captives were now on the beginning of a snowy path which lead to a village in the distance. A man was now addressing Aang, Sokka, Ezra and Katara who were still blindfolded and tied to a large wooden pole. The bagged Momo was standing on the ground in front of Aang. "You four have some explaining to do.
One of the woman dressed in green that ambushed the group earlier was also addressing them. "And if you don't answer all our questions, we're throwing you back in the water with Unagi."
Sokka however despite being blind folded and out matched still decided to challenge his captors "Show yourselves, cowards!"
A gloved hand, the forearm dressed in a leather band with a gold insignia on top of it, removed the blindfold. From Sokka's point of view he looked up rather curious and annoyed. Five girls in green kimonos and wearing white and red face paint were standing in front of him. Now he began speaking in a bit of an aggressive tone changing his tune from what it was before "Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?"
The leader who they would later find out was named Suki stepped forward, gesturing heavily with her clenched fist. "There were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?"
Sokka however stared at them in disbelief "Wait a second," He amusingly glanced to his right to where Aang was standing as if he was looking for confirmation. He then began to change his tone to a mocking one "There's no way that a bunch of girls took us down."
Ezra face palmed. This wasn't going to end well.
Suki naturally angry grabbed Sokka by his collar. "A bunch of girls, huh? Unagi is gonna eat well tonight."
Ezra called out to Sokka in an attempt to save him from further harm "I wouldn't insult them if I were you. Girls can be tougher than you think. Trust me I know"
Katara leaned forward in her bonds as she tried pleading and being apologetic "No, don't hurt him! He didn't mean it. My brother is just an idiot sometimes."
Suki released Sokka begrudgingly, but still stared at him in dismay.
"You're positive this wasn't your doing?" Sokka asked whispering to Ezra
"What part of no did you not get the first time?" Ezra said annoyed as he saw Suki walk towards him slightly curious about him and wondering what his stake in this was.
"And who might you be?" Suki asked Ezra "We didn't spot you until later. You seemingly came out of nowhere. Are you a spy also?"
Ezra being used to constant captures by the Empire prepared one of his false identities to use. While these people didn't look like they served the Empire he couldn't risk revealing himself until Kanan, Sabine and Zeb arrived. "I'm Lando Calrissian. I was in the middle of a Meiloorun when I saw these people needed my help so I stepped in like any other good citizen would do."
Suki raised her eyebrow at this name not buying it but still deciding too believe him for now. One of her warriors suddenly walked up to her and handed her Ezra's lightsaber "Here you go Suki. This was the weapon he used on us. Hurt me pretty bad with this strange energy thing that emmitted from there.
Taking it Suki pushed a button on the saber as she fired out the blue blaster bolt which hit a rock and destroyed it causing everyone to gasp in amazement. She then pushed another button which activated the saber. Everyone was in awe at the blue glow that came from the blade as she swung it around trying to get a feel on it.
"Yeah that's my lightsaber. Now be careful with it because it's extremely dangerous. I hear you can cut your hand off with it" Ezra cautioned almost sounding like Kanan during his early days of lightsaber training when he would tell him the same thing.
"This feels like some kind of sword yet it's nothing like I've ever seen" Suki said as she deactivated it "Who are you really? What is your purpose here?"
"All the standard Imperial questions. To all of them I say that I'm not telling. They should really just have a stock answer book prepared for this when prisoners defy them. It must be boring to repeat these same questions over and over again am I right?" Ezra asked trying to making them laugh as Sokka found himself snickering while Katara groaned.
"We really shouldn't keep Unagi waiting on the feast." Suki said as she prepared to take the bound Ezra away.
"It's my fault." Aang suddenly called out.
The four teenagers looked surprised at Aang's words. A sorrowfully looking Aang began to explain their purpose in coming here "I'm sorry we came here. I wanted to ride the elephant koi."
"How do we know you're not Fire Nation spies?" the old man Oyaji said angrily pointing at them "Kyoshi stayed out of the war so far. And we intend to keep it that way!"
Ezra looked at the three teens confused. Who were the Fire Nation?
Aang suddenly had a brightened expression on his face upon hearing these words "This island is named for Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!"
Ezra raised his eyebrows even more at this. An island? This wasn't a planet? Where were they?
Oyaji however remained humorless at Aang's words "Ha! How could you possibly know her?"
Everyone looked up at the top of the wooden pole as they saw a statue of a tall woman holding two stretched open fans. She was dressed in a similar outfit as the female warriors that ambushed the group. Ezra began to realise they must have modelled themselves after her.
"Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago. She's been dead for centuries." Oyaji explained not feeling convinced of Aang's story.
Aang looked pensive at the statue before looking at the ground in front of him. His tone suddenly changed as he began to speak in a soft, calm voice. "I know her because I'm the Avatar."
Naturally Suki and Oyaji along with the other Kyoshi Warriors all had mixed reactions to this with Oyaji looking shocked at Aang's revelation. Ezra however was confused by his statement. He didn't know what the Fire Nation was nor what this was Avatar was. Just where exactly were they?
Suki however not convinced by Aang's statement as she shook her fist and began to emphasize her words. "That's impossible! The last Avatar was an airbender who disappeared a hundred years ago."
Aang smiled sheepishly upon hearing this "That's me!"
Oyaji however became angry at this as he pointed at Aang while looking at Suki. "Throw the impostor to Unagi!"
Suki and the rest of her warriors immediately retracted their metal fans from out of their belts and slid them open. Ready to counter any sudden attack, they threateningly started to move forward and surround the bound friends.
Katara leaned forward in the ropes, glancing to her right where Aang is bound to the pole. Naturally she was nervous "Aang ... do some airbending.
Sokka was looking at the female warriors, his mouth open in shock and stopping at Aang who looked questioningly at Katara for a moment. Ezra looked at them as he tried to use the Force to break out of his bounds.
Aang bended over before pushing himself off the ground. He ended up leaving a large dust cloud as he shot into the air, stretching out his ropes, using one of the outstretched fans of the statue to snap them in half. Now completely free of his bonds, he tumbled elegantly over the statue.
Spectators began talking all at once upon seeing this impressive display "Wow! Did you see that? Airbender!"
Aang landed gently on the ground in front of the surprised crowd, his robes still fluttering in the air. Oyaji and the Kyoshi Warriors were staring at him in shock. Ezra was also impressed. Who exactly was this kid? Was he possibly a Force user? A lot more people were gathering around to see what was going on. Unlike the female warriors, Oyaji and the other civilians were dressed in blue.
Oyaji began to change his tone to one of awe "It's true ... you are the Avatar!"
Aang had a serious look on his face, a relieved Ezra, Sokka and Katara still tied up to his left were waiting to see what he would say next "Now ..." He began as he pulled a set of marbles out from underneath his robes. "Check this out!" He began performing a trick with his bending, letting the marbles spins around really fast between his hands. Grinning and blinking like a fool, he looked at the crowd, hoping to impress them.
The crowd cheered at this display while Ezra started to laugh almost impressed by the trick even if it was probably an easy one for Aang to do with his mysterious abilities he would have to ask more about when he was untied. A young man in the front started to emit a high pitched squeal while widely tossing his hands up in the air in admiration. He became so overexcited that he started to foam, fall toward the floor, and fainted; while the rest of the villagers just kept on cheering.
Meanwhile over on the harbor of Kyoshi island, one of the village girls was running up a dock toward a fisherman who was fiddling with his basket of fish. "Did you hear the news?"
The fisherman picked up his basket as he began to walk away from the over excited girl. "The Avatar's on Kyoshi!"
Upon hearing this the Fisherman due to his utter surprise, dropped his basket. "Huh?"
The fisherman picked his basket up again and turned around. Over time the news began to pass as the fisherman delivered the basket to a fishmonger while passing on the news of the Avatar's whereabouts. The fishmonger turned around and time changed again to where the fishmonger was selling one of the fish to a servant, dressed in Fire Nation red he too passing on the news. When the servant turned around, the news eventually reached the inside of a ship where the servant was serving the cooked fish at the table to the former Fire Nation Prince Zuko and his Uncle Iroh who were hunting the Avatar.
Zuko quickly stood up upon hearing the news yelling in a demanding tone. "The Avatar's on Kyoshi Island?"
Zuko addressed Iroh as he began to leave the room. "Uncle, ready the rhinos. He's not getting away from me this time."
Iroh casually pointed at the smoking fish in front of him as he looked at Zuko "Are you going to finish that?"
Zuko turned around and quickly snatched the plate off the table agressively. "I was going to save it for later!" Zuko left the room under the watchful eye of Iroh.
As soon as Zuko was now out of the way, Iroh crossed his arms, turned around, and sulked.
Back with the group Aang bowed as he finished his act and addressed the crowd "Thank you. Now if it's not too much trouble could you please release my friends?"
Suki looked at Oyaji for a moment who then raised his hand forward "Release the Avatar's friends."
The warriors looked at Suki who gave them a nod to do as he says as they went to release Sokka, Momo and Katara. They began to release Ezra's knots a little before he stopped them. "Thanks for loosening them up. I can take it from here."
The warriors were confused before they found Ezra easily breaking the bonds with just the flick of his hands. Everyone looked on surprised as they turned to Aang now confused.
"So you try to deceive us? You say you're the last Airbender but yet there are two of you?" Oyaji asked now annoyed.
"What? No he's not an Airbender" Aang answered as he looked at Ezra a little hopeful. "Are you?"
"No I'm no Airbender. I'm a..." Ezra began before hesitating to say the next word as everyone looked at him in anticipation to his response.
"Yes? Speak Mr. Calrissian. If that is your real name?" Suki asked now annoyed.
"My real name is Ezra Bridger... and I'm a Jedi." Ezra answered fully.
Everyone looked confused however even Aang and his friends. Ezra felt this wasn't uncommon given how the Jedi were extinct as he overheard one person say "What's a Jedi?" Obviously considering one of the other captive's lack of knowledge of the Force this was a planet whose inhabitants were unaware of the Jedi's history due to it being lost to time. He decided to ask a more common question that they would know the answer too.
"Perhaps you know of the Empire? I'm sure they've been terrorising your planet. Well my friends and I are here to help. Once they find me that is" Ezra said hopeful they would respond more to this if anything to give him an idea as to where they were in the galaxy.
Once again however he was met by blank looks as he again overheard people saying "Planet? Empire?"
Now Ezra was confused. They didn't know what planet they were on nor did they know of the Empire?
"This all sounds like a trick by the Fire Nation. Tie them up again!" Oyaji yelled.
Before anyone could move however they saw blaster fire emerge into the crowd. Everyone scattered as they saw Sabine and Zeb blasting at them but making sure not to kill them only to get their attention. Everyone was naturally confused by the sight of the girl in the Mandalorian armour but more frightened by Zeb's appearance.
Zeb growled in frustration as he saw the crowd exclaim "Monster! Run for your lives!"
Noticing that everyone was distracted this gave Ezra the time to use the Force to grab his lightsaber that was being held in Suki's belt. Suki then felt the belt as she saw the saber being grabbed by Ezra with a mixture of awe and anger on her face "Hey!"
"This doesn't belong to you I'm afraid ma'am." Ezra said as he ignited it and got into a fighting stance.
Suki ordered her warriors to get into battle positions as Ezra, Sabine and Zeb surrounded them ready to fight. Aang, Katara and Sokka stood back meanwhile unsure of what was going to happen. Aang was still shocked by Ezra's force ability display and wanted to know more of what it was.
"So what do we do now?" Zeb asked as he kept his gun on the people.
"We try to be peaceful." Sabine answered.
"What do you want? We don't have much but please put those weapons away and call off your animal" Oyaji cried changing his tone to one of fear.
"Stand down guys." another voice said as Ezra, Zeb and Sabine lowered their weapons. Everyone looked over to see Kanan stepping forward.
"My name is Kanan Jarrus. This is Sabine Wren and Zeb Orrelios" Kanan began as he pointed to both respectively "And you know Ezra"
Ezra gave a shrug and a sheepish smile as Zeb looked back and growled at him confused and annoyed that he had gotten them into another mess.
"We want to speak to the person who is in charge here. Our ship is out of fuel and in need of it. Our captain is in the process of fixing it but she may need a hand" Kanan said telling them of their situation.
"I'm in charge here" Oyaji began "My people will help you with your ship as much as they can. But if you want to speak with an authority figure then look no further then the Avatar."
The Ghost crew looked at Aang in confusion. This kid was an authority figure. Aang shrugged as he gave them a sheepish smile "Yeah that's me. I'm quite popular today huh?"
"What are you like 12?" Sabine asked clearly not convinced.
"I am actually. Although technically it's only physically. I'm actually over a hundred biologically" Aang answered as if this was nothing.
The crew looked at each other in alarm upon hearing this revelation. Who or what was this kid?
"Kanan what should we do?" Sabine asked hoping he had an idea of what they should do next.
Kanan thought for a moment. He didn't know where the black hole had taken them. It could be hours before they could contact the Rebel fleet again. Deciding that he would contact Hera to try and bring the ship over he decided to remain neutral and diplomatic. Plus there was still the unsolved mystery of this kid's power and now with this revelation he had more questions for him "Is there anywhere we can talk here?"
"Yes. The main centre is not too far from here." Oyaji answered
"Then lead the way" Kanan replied.
Author's Note: So that was naturally a long introductory chapter. I'm going to try and not make them as long as this unless it's a big episode but I had to combine the Rebels arrival into the Avatar TLA world and also their interactions and meetings with the warriors of Kyoshi. Obviously not much else is happening right now but I hope in future chapters my plans are interesting. I'm looking forward to tackling both worlds and how they'll respond to one another.
This episode does involve a lot of Aang being a show off which will come in the next chapter but the Rebels presence is going to change things a bit. Their presence as I've done with my other fanfics will bring both good and bad consequences with canon slightly changing to fit their presence and some of what they'll do will affect it but it'll only affect things if necessary. Moments that bring significant character development for the Avatar TLA characters will either remain unchanged or if canon is changed then it will be a combined effort of both sets of characters so it doesn't feel like one over shadows the other. Also the Rebels characters will obviously have their own moments of development at least I hope they will work.
The Empire will return in the story but they won't return just yet. I do have another plan though for a personal threat for the Rebels to confront before they are reunited with the Empire. And before you ask about whether Rex and Ahsoka will come to help along with the Rebel fleet? Well you'll just have to wait and see on that front.
Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've probably forgotten stuff. To all those who have started reading this story and the rest of my stories I thank you for your continued support. I wouldn't be doing these stories if it weren't for you reading them. This is your friend Steve993 signing off and I'll see you next time.
