Avatar the First Airbender
Chapter 25
The Beginning of the world
Shinji came to lying on the grass of his new oasis. Sitting up he found himself lying next to Rei.
"Rei, are you alright?" He asked and she opened her eyes.
"Shinji, where are we?" She asked sitting up.
"Welcome to the spirit oasis of the south pole" Shinji said.
"I must admit it is quiet beautiful" Kaworu said from his seat.
"Welcome home Kaworu" Shinji said smiling. .
"I must admit that I half expected myself to be destroyed, but instead I felt as if something was taken from me" He said.
"Me as well" I feel as if something is missing" Rei said.
"Come look" Shinji said and standing up led them to a pool where two koi fish swam in a continual circle.
"This is what you lost. The souls of Adam and Lilith are now these fish, representing the opposing forces of the universe, as well as the bridge from our world to the other" he said and pointed to the other side of the pond to a door.
"Another door has appeared at the North Pole, a link between our worlds" He explained and walked to over to it.
"Let's step over. There's someone I need to see" He said. Shinji crossed over to the North Pole and sent word to his masters. It took weeks to organize, but he convinced his masters to send benders over to the other world to help teach the world bending, and to help it transition to a world without technology. Shinji also got a spare glider from Aang since his old one was still in Misato's apartment. Using it he left Kaworu, Rei, and Kaji in the hands of the benders and others who had cross over and flew off into the new world. Two months after third impact, Tokyo three, the only city in the world without power was isolated from the rest of the world. There seemed to be a shield around the city that let it use power, while crossing an inch beyond the line of that shield caused anything electrical to die. They didn't know if the same thing happened to an EVA, because when Shinji reformed the souls from the Antarctic sea, he also released and resurrected the body and soul of Kyoko zeppelin Soryu rendering Unit 02 usless. Now Asuka and Kyoko were catching up and patching old wounds as the city tried to rebuild and fortify after the world black out.
"It's weird, even the satellites are knocked out" Kensuke said as they sat in Toji's living room. Without power of technology outside the city, no one could find out what was happening in the rest of the world, which was driving the boy crazy.
"I wonder if Shinji did that." He wondered.
"He had to. He was in complete control of the Lilith entity" Ritsuko said as she sat at a bar with Misato and Maya. She had been brought back by Shinji because her soul had not traveled completely beyond the veil of death.
"So he plunged the rest of the world back into the dark ages" Maya said.
"Maybe, but I think he did it for our own good" Misato said. Later that day Appa flew over the city and landed in front of Misato's apartment. Aang knocked on the door, which was answered by Asuka. She and her mother were staying with Misato until they could find an apartment of their own (Asuka also didn't want to leave in case Shinji came back).
"Hello are you Asuka?" Aang asked.
"Yes" She answered.
"Shinji sent us, may we come in?" He asked.
"Um Okay" She said and opened the door. The group of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Mai, Ty Lee, Suki, Kaworu, Rei, and Kaji began to file in.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She said barring the door when she saw Kaworu.
"I am master Aangs new student, like Shinji before me" he said and glaring at him.
"It's alright Asuka, he's not dangerous" Rei said and Asuka did a double take.
"Is that really you wonder girl?" Asuka asked
"Yes, and your right, you and I do have issues to settle" She said recalling their last conversation and Asuka grinned.
"Well haven't you two become friends" Kaji said as Asuka stepped aside to let them by.
"And where have you been?" Asuka demanded.
"That's a long story" He said
"Well Misato's out drinking right now" Asuka said exasperated as they went into the living room.
"That's fine, I'll wait" He said.
"Asuka, who are these people?" Kyoko asked.
"Friends of a friend" Asuka said as they all sat around the living room. Aang explained that Shinji had flown off to begin his duty as a fully realized avatar. He would travel the world helping people transition to the new world without technology and keeping the piece.
"It's going to take a lot of work, years worth" Aang said.
"Will he ever come back?" Asuka said.
"Of course, I'm just saying that the next few years are going to be hard" Aang said, and Asuka nodded. Next they discussed Asuka and Toji becoming pupils to Zuko and Toph respectively.
Three years past. As the last place with electricity, Tokyo three became a leader of the new world, providing packaged food and water to countries that needed it while they slowly transformed back to agrarianism. Benders from the other world helped, teaching new benders and helping with building and irrigation, as well as keeping things peaceful. Through it all, Shinji traveled from one war torn place to another, teaching bending and peace, leading the world into a new age. Now eighteen, he was returning home for a reunion with all his friends. As he flew over the city he found it even more prosperous and alive than he had ever seen it. All the weaponry had been disassembled and the City had increased. Using the scavenged technology of the angels and Evas, the city had reestablished power using S2 organs, allowing the modern city to increase beyond the no power line.
"Human ingenuity is a powerful thing" He thought as he landed in front of Misato's apartment.
Not knowing if she still lived there he knocked. The door opened to find a three year old girl staring at him with big brown eyes.
"Mommy, someone's here" She shouted.
"Misao, how many times have I told you not to answer the…" Misato said as she came to the door. Shinji saw that she had a healthy glow about here, if a bit tired, and her figure had grown fuller, making her look even more beautiful.
"Shinji?" She asked and surging forward wrapped him in a bear hug.
"It's good to see you" He said hugging back.
"Mommy, who is this?" The girl Misao asked.
"This is your uncle Shinji" She said picking the girl up.
"So this is your and Kaji's daughter" He said as Kaji came to the door.
"Hey kid, you're just in time" Kaji said.
"Yeah, we were just heading to the reunion" Misato said as they walked to the car.
"So how is everyone doing?" Shinji asked.
"Well, Asuka, Rei, Toji, and Kaworu left with your friends to train, and Kensuke and Hikari stayed to finish school" Misato said as they drove.
"So my masters decided to train them. I wonder how they've changed." He wondered.
"You've certainly grown" She said looking at him through the rearview mirror. In three years he had grown taller and more muscular. His face had lost none of its delicate features and his hair had grown shaggier, giving turning him from cute to handsome. They pulled into the parking lot of a park and got out. Shinji helped them unload a picnic basket and they walked to a clearing where his masters and all his friends were waiting.
"Hey you guys" Shinji said and they froze.
"Shinji!" Rei and Asuka cried and dove at him in a hug. Shinji saw that they both had grown taller. Rei was about his height, while Asuka had grown to a startling six feet, topping him by a head. He also noticed as they pressed themselves against him that both of their figures had increased. As they pulled away from him, Shinji saw their faces. Reis hair had grown down to her shoulders and her face was open and warm. Asuka's hair had not changed, but her face had become stronger and more beautiful, as well as peaceful and warm as Reis. Toji wrapped an arm round him and Shinji could feel the rippling muscles through his shirt.
"What's that on your face?" He asked seeing the goatee running down his most shocking change was when he saw Kaworu. He had been shaved bald and had Airbender tatooes.
"Is something wrong Shinji?" Kaworu asked as he stared.
"No" He said.
As they sat down and began eating. Shinji heard about what happened to each of the in the past three years. looking around at his old and new friends he felt at peace and knew that everything would be alright.
