Welcome to Fairy Tail

The sky was red in the town of Magnolia and the town looked like it had just faced a huge attack, buildings were broken down and it looked like there were some bodies crushed under rubble and buildings. There was a white glow in the middle of the town and Elfman had jumped up into the air and his arm glowed a gold color and it became black and muscular.
"Beast Arm..." He exclaimed but a very thick wave of earth had slammed into him as he was close to the ground and he flew to a building.
Mira had ran to him. 
"Elfman, are you okay?" She asked
"Mira run." He weakly said.
They saw the white figure slowly walked up to them and the figure was dressed in an orange shawl over a long-sleeved yellow shirt, an orange sash, double-layered pants with brown underneath and a loose yellow layer on top, he was bare foot. He had light skin, brown eyes and he was bald. His biggest features, were his white glowing arrow tattoos and the white glow also engulfed his eyes.
Suddenly an orange-red magical circle appeared and the figure held his breath and his stomach grew and he was about to let out the attack.
"AANG!" Mira yelled. "Don't do it!" she yelled. "Don't let the power control you!?" she exclaimed.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Aang exclaimed in a mixture of his voice along with his past four Avatars. He shot a huge blast of fire from his mouth and it was speeding to both Mira and Elfman. However a figure had jumped into the fire and blocked it.
Erza had glared at Aang in her Flame Empress Armor. 
"Stop it Aang! Control your power!" she exclaimed.
However another Aang who wasn't in his Avatar state and was dressed in his new attire had stood in front of Erza. "Erza, I'm right here!" he exclaimed. "That's not me!" however it would seem that Titania had not heard his voice and she charged towards the other Aang and she tried to slice him but he dodged them, mostly because Erza was holding back. The other Aang that couldn't be heard quickly realized that he would see parts of the buildings through himself, which meant that he didn't exist.
"What's going on?" he thought
Meanwhile, the Avatar State Aang had blasted a powerful blast of air at Erza which sent her to a wall and she dropped her red blade on the ground.
"T-this can't be happening." the real Aang said in fear and he stared his shaking hands.
The other Aang was suddenly encased in earth that rose from the ground and the earth was surrounded by ice spikes and Gray who was topless stood beside Toph. 
"Calm down already Twinkle Toes!" Toph yelled.
"Forget it Toph, this is why he wanted us to keep him out of the Avatar State he can't control himself." Gray said.
"As if, the real Twinkle Toes is still in there!" Toph exclaimed. The glowing Aang was surrounded in a huge sphere of air and he used it to rip the ice and earth of his body. Soon he expanded it into a hemisphere of raging winds that had engulfed both Gray and Toph.
"Droopy Eyes! Any ideas!" Toph exclaimed.
"We have to take him out!" Gray made his ice bazooka appear and he aimed it at Aang. "It's the only way! Ice Cannon!" he exclaimed and he fired the ice cannon and the cannonball of ice was speeding to Aang but he got into a waterbending stance and he broke the ice ball into many individual shards and made them surround him in a ring and he shot them at the two.
Toph heard the attack coming and she made a huge rock wall that blocked the ice shards though the constant wind had kept her off balance. The wind abrutly stopped and they both saw Aang and he forced a huge stream of fire from his hands towards the two.
"Toph get behind me!" Gray yelled. "Ice Make: Shield!" he exclaimed and he made an ice barrier made with flower petals.
"It's not enough!" Toph made a wall in front of Grey's shield and the flames had failed to burst through.
Glowing Aang then covered himself in raging flames and he had winds surrounding him coming from his airbending. "Fire Dragon Wind Edge!" he exclaimed and he charged to the ice and earth barriers while cloaked in a combination of fire and air and he shattered through the barriers like they were foam walls and both Toph and Grey rolled on the ground.
"Damn! He's mastered Dragon Slayer magic pretty quickly!" Toph exclaimed while holding her arm. Suddenly an ice lance were speeding to Toph and even through she made a barrier they forced themselves through and the background became white and Toph body became nothing but a shadow in the whiteness and the ice arrow had forced her way through her body and she fell to the ground but Grey soon caught her, she had lost the detail in her eyes and her eyes had closed as she fell into instant unconsciousness. Grey could luckily still feel her breathing, thought her breaths had become a little shorter.
"You Bastard! I don't care if I kill you! I have to stop you!" he exclaimed and Grey crossed his arms in front of him and a white-cyan magic seal appeared below him. "If this will save Fairy Tail from you, then so be it."
The real Aang had his eyes wide open at the scene in front of him. "T-this is what I become?" he fearfully asked himself.
"Ultimate Freeze! ICED SHE-" he was suddenly hit by a huge stream of water. He saw Katara, Natsu, and Lucy while Happy was floating above them.
"WE CAN'T KILL HIM!" Katara exclaimed.
"Are you out of your mind!? He almost murdered Toph in cold blood and you want to let him live!?" Gray exclaimed.
"Toph wouldn't want this!" Katara exclaimed. "I can calm him down."
Gray held her hand tightly. "And let you get killed too? Face it! Aang is gone, he would have snapped out of it by now, but look what he did to the town. You wanna tell me we can still stop him."
Suddenly out of one of the buildings a huge fire arc was blasted and Aang in his powered stated had avoided it and he saw Zuko in a firebending stance. "Sorry Aang, but you are way out of control! We have to stop you!" he exclaimed. "One way or the other!" he and Grey charged to him and Aang then took a deep breath but this time it wasn't for a Fire Dragon's Roar. This time a sky blue-white magic circle had appeared in front of him and he fired a powerful sky blue coloured tornado blast of air from it and it engulfed both him and Grey and the tornado had shot them across the ground to a far part of town.
The real Aang now had tears going down his face as he now had to watch his friends getting defeated... by himself and his potential power. "I-I how do I stop this...?"
"What now!?" Happy exclaimed. "The guild is destroyed, he's injured the Master and really hurt Toph, he defeated Gray and Zuko."
"Aang? What has happened to you?" Lucy said softly to herself.
Suddenly they saw Erza in her Heaven's Wheel Armor and she flew past Happy, Natsu and Katara. 
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" Erza exclaimed as she summoned six swords to fly towards Aang but he skillfully dodged every single one. He got into an earth bending stance and made three huge boulders rise up from the ground and threw them at Erza who easily sliced through them. She was close and was about to make her blade impale his midsection, however he grabbed it and stopped Erza in her tracks. Suddenly they were both in the middle of a huge air cyclone and an orange-red magic seal had appeared on the ground and it was heating up the air so much so that the air had turned into flames and Erza screamed in pain and she jumped out of the firestorm in her Flame Empress armor.
Natsu then began walking towards Aang and he then pointed to him. "AANG! IF YOU DON'T STOP HURTING EVERYONE! I'M SERIOUSLY GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!" Natsu yelled.
Aang had spinted to Natsu and his fist was engulfed in flames and Natsu followed and both of their fists had connected and made a powerful shock-wave that made several more building crumble. The out of control Avatar kicked the ground and he made a wave of Earth speed to Erza and it clashed with her midsection and she fell to her knees and Aang had forced Natsu away with a blast of air and he uses Ice Geyser on Erza to trap her in sharp ice.
Natsu who was doing a battle cry had then kicked Aang with his flaming foot and he slid on the ground. 
"Yeah, that did it!" He exclaimed but Aang had gotten back up and his arrows were still glowing. He was now surrounding himself in a powerful hemispherical gust of air.
Sounds of slices were coming through the ice that Erza was trapped in and shattered out of it and she was in her Blackwing Armor. 
"Sorry Aang, but you have done too much, hurting the Master, endangering the citizens, trying to kill us, some things cannot be forgiven!" She yelled out and she was speeding to Aang but Katara had gotten in front of Aang and Erza stopped her attack. 
"What are you doing?!" Erza exclaimed.
"JUST STOP!" She yelled with tears in her eyes. 
"This has gone far enough!" Katara was close to breaking down into tears with all that she has seen. "Aang is in a horrible place right now, he can't control himself. Just... let me calm him down." Erza then requipped into her Heart Kreuz Armor.
"You better know what you are doing, Katara." Erza said.
She slowly walked over to Aang who was still in his hemisphere, she ran into it and she hugged him as tight as she could. "Please Aang, you have to remember who you are! Look at how many people you've hurt!" She exclaimed. "Please come back to us! Come back to me!" she cried and the hemispherical air shape had stopped abruptly.
The real Aang who was watching this had seen that the arrows on his counterpart hadn't faded. He saw in slow motion that his right hand was heading to Katara's midsection. 
"KATARA NO!" The real Aang yelled.
The glowing Aang had made a cyan-white magic circle appear where his hand was at Katara's gut and suddenly blades of ice had grown out of her back as he had impaled her and she lost the detail in her eyes. "Aang...why?" was the last thing she said before she fell onto the ground with her eyes closed.
Happy was shocked while Lucy shared the same expression and covered her mouth with her hands in shock and horror. Natsu and Erza looked furious.
The real Aang had punched the wall and he was crying. He couldn't take it anymore, he had just seen what would now be his worst nightmare. 
"I can't take it... WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME!?" He exclaimed.
The figures of everyone had suddenly been blown away like sand particles except for Avatar State Aang. The real Aang was looking at himself in the Avatar State from behind. He walked out onto the street where he saw it happen. 
"Why-WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?" He then angrily yelled.
The figure of himself turned around and made an evil smirk. "That is simple! You can't protect them! You can't protect anyone without me!" Aang in his Avatar State yelled.
"No... NOOOO!" Aang yelled out in agony as he fell to his knees and he covered his ears.
"You can't protect anyone!" Suddenly the voice began to get deeper and more terrifyingly familiar. "You are weak without me!" it mocked as it walked towards Aang.
"No. It can't be I know that voice!" Aang said and he looked up at himself and saw that the terrifying figure was standing in front of him.
"Without me you are weak! Just like the rest of your people!" He continued. But the voice had now completely changed.
"No! NO!" Aang fearfully yelled as his stronger counter part had made an orange-red magic circle in front of him.
"They did not deserve to exist in this world – in my world! Prepare to join them!" The face had changed and it took the form of Phoenix King Ozai however the arrows were still on his body. "PREPARE TO DIE!" Aang was paralyzed with fear as this was the voice of Ozai and flames were about to speed out of the Magic circle that was created and Aang knew that it was the end for him.
----"AAAAAAAAHHH!" Aang screamed and he got up from the couch that he was sleeping on in Natsu and Happy's house. He woke up in a cold sweat and he looked at his hands and they were shivering, not from drop in temperature but from an increase in adrenaline. He was panting heavily like he was just saved from drowning and needed to fill his air with lungs desperately. "It-it was just... a dream." he said to himself in between pants. Suddenly he cried and he placed his arm on the wall and the tears were falling from his eyes. "No! More like a nightmare!" he saw that Natsu was still asleep like a rock and he was holding Happy who was sleeping beside him. He looked at his sky blue Fairy Tail emblem on his left shoulder. He suddenly remembered the image of him impaling Katara with icicles and new tears began to form but he quickly reminded himself that it was a nightmare and that none of it happened. "The Avatar State..." Aang thought. "If I don't gain control of if..." He thought back to the horrifying images that he saw in his dream and he had hugged his knees close to his body as he sat up. "Everyone will get hurt... even..." he angrily got out of his covers and he walked out of the house into the night and he looked up at the sky. "I have no other choice. I have to let her go, before I do something much worse..." he thought. He saw down in his meditative stance and began to concentrate as he placed his two fists together.
However unbeknownst to the young Avatar, there was a certain blue cat watching him with concern evident in his eyes.
----The sun was beginning to rise up and this was the signal for the birds to start chirping and Happy had walked outside and he yawned and he saw that Aang was in the same meditative position since last night.
"Aang..." Happy said with some sadness and he poked him.
Aang's eyes shot open and he turned around and saw the blue cat. "Hi Happy..." he said trying to sound as happy as possible. Happy could see the bags under his eyes indicating he hadn't gotten much sleep
"Are you okay? You looked like you had a nightmare last night..." the cat said.
"It was just a bad dream, don't make it sound so bad."
"You looked terrified... Aang what's going on?"
"Don't worry about it Happy, I... just have some things to figure out." He said and he looked up. "I won't show up to help with re-construction today. Something is on my mind and I have to figure it out." he was about to leave.
"You're not taking Appa?" Happy asked.
"No, plus he needs his rest." He walked deeper into the forest and Happy was now genuinely concerned.
----Inside Lucy's apartment. She had gotten up and she saw Katara cooking something. "Katara? What are you doing?"
"Oh, well I'm making breakfast, the least I can do is cook for us since you're letting me stay here, plus I borrowed Levy's cookbook."
Soon appearing in front of Lucy on her dining table was a grilled fish with some vegetables in front of her. "Its not really breakfast, but it looks delicious. Thanks Katara." the blonde mage thanked and both girls began eating. 
"Hish is vhewy delihous." Lucy said in between bites of her food.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Sooo." Lucy began. "What's your relationship with Aang like?" Lucy asked with.
Katara coughed a little after Lucy asked the question. "Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
"I dunno, well Aang does talk about you a lot-"
"He does?" She quickly said before she calmed down. "I-I mean why do you suddenly ask? We did try and save the world together..."
"Stop dodging my questions."
"I know what you meant Luce." Katara admitted while blushing. "But I don't know what to think right now. Sure he's great and all but... I just don't know, I'm so confused."
"Do you know he likes you?" Lucy asked.
"Of course I do. He... well kinda kissed me before we invaded the Fire Nation." she admitted and she saw Lucy about to squeal.
"He liiiikes you!" the blonde mage exclaimed and Katara's entire face was red with embarrassment and a puff of steam had exited her ears. "So how do you feel about him?"
"Lucy... okay you want the truth? I'm confused okay, I mean I like him, but I'm not sure if I do feel... that way about him." she said rubbing her arm awkwardly. "Look can we keep this between us?"
"Oh sure, I understand, beside we don't want Happy to find out."
"Natsu's cat? Why not him in particular."
"He lives to embarrass others, just trust me on this one."
----Much later, heading into the afternoon. At the building site for the guild Sokka was looking at his grey Fairy Tail guild emblem on his right forearm. He left his right arm uncovered by his white bandages however his left arm still was bandaged. He saw Zuko was helping with the re-construction effort.
"Hey, Zuko you wouldn't happen to know where I can find a place where I can get a new sword or something. After that whole light magic sword thing didn't work, there is no way I'm going to that place again."
Zuko who was now shirtless had a maroon Fairy Tail guild mark on his the left side of his chest. "I'm not sure, You got here a little earlier than me, so why are you asking me? Why don't you go ask Erza? She has a lot of swords from what I heard."
Sokka had a dark blue aura over his head. "E-Erza. I'm not going to talk to her!"
"You're not scared of her are you?" Zuko asked with a smirk.
"Of course not! I heard how powerful she is, but she doesn't scare me." he said and his eye twitched
"If you say so." He put on his light red shirt and tied his yellow belt. "Come with me. Hey Erza!" He yelled and the mage in question was lifting a heavy metallic beam and she dropped it. Only increasing Sokka's fear though he tried not to look afraid. 
"My friend Sokka here needs a sword, mind if you give him one of yours?" Zuko asked.
"Hey I don't need to use one of her's I can craft my own sword, thank you." Sokka said.
"Really?" Erza said surprised by such a skill Sokka possesses.
"Yeah. I just need type of steel or rock to make it." Sokka said now putting his hand to his chin.
Sokka saw one of Wakaba's Explosive Lacrima on the ground he ran to it and picked it up. "What are these things called?"
"They are called Lacrima, but you don't plan on making a sword out of that? While most Lacrima have magical properties. Lacrima are brittle and shatter under enough force, not even close to being as hard as steel." Erza explained.
"You're probably right... wait, back up. What did you say about it having magical properties?" Sokka asked.
"Lacrima are used for many different purposes, magical energy can even be charged into it."
"Okay I've got it, now I just need to find a material to craft the sword out of!" he exclaimed.
"Looking for a metal, Sokka!?" Toph exclaimed.
"Yeah, but it needs to be powerful and..."
"Yeah, yeah. I got your drift. I can give you the best metal I can find." Toph ran back into the broken down Fairy Tail building and a huge metal beam had flown towards Sokka but Erza stood in front of him and it bounced off as if it was nothing to her.
"This is one of the pillars that Gajeel used to destroy the guild." Erza quickly noticed.
"Yep, what better metal can you use than that of a Dragon Slayer. Gihihi!" Toph laughed purposely copying Gajeel's laugh.
Sokka was stunned. "There is more than one Dragon Slayer! I thought that crazy fire guy was the only one!" Sokka yelled.
"Nope, Dragon Slayer magic is a type of Lost Magic, there could be others out there." Erza said.
"Hey, while we're talking about it. They don't actually kill dragons do they?"
"They have magic, that was taught to them by other dragons, this magic is used to kill other dragons. Didn't we tell Sokka everything?" Toph said folding her arms.
"I thought that Lucy girl was supposed to tell him everything?" Zuko said.
"Oh let me stop you right there Sparky, Lucy... isn't the sharpest tool in the shed if you know what I mean." Toph mocked
Suddenly Lucy was behind Sokka, Zuko and Erza and she was in a flaming aura. 
"I. Can. Hear. You." she angrily said.
"Duh, I knew you were here five minutes ago. I just wanted to hear your reaction. Hi by the way."
Katara who came with Lucy had seen what was going on. "Hi everyone, isn't that one of Gajeel's pillars?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to make a new sword from some of it, as soon as I cam move this thing!" he exclaimed as he tried pushing it and Zuko, Erza and Toph sweatdropped.
Erza then spoke up. "Hey, you don't need help with-"
"I got this, I don't need help, especially from a girl." he said and Erza's pupils shrunk in rage.
"What!?" She growled.
"Wrong place, wrong time Sokka." Katara said as she face palmed.
Suddenly Erza was covered in a gold glow and she had requipped to her Black Wing armor.
"SO! You think girls are weak!?"
"I-I-I never..." Sokka stuttered as Erza raised one of her swords and Sokka waited to be sliced however she had instead slice a portion of Gajeel's pillar.
"That enough for you?" She asked angrily.
"Uh... y-y-yes. Uh Toph would you help me out here."
"Fine." She bent the metal and made it levitate over her and they both left the construction area.
Erza had requipped back to her construction gear. "Don't you think you were a little rough on him?" Lucy asked "He certainly doesn't need any nightmare of you chasing him in your Black Wing Armor."
Erza smirked. "It was my way of teaching him a lesson."
Katara and Lucy both sweat dropped. 
"Scary..." they both muttered.
"ZUKO!" They all heard and they saw Natsu speeding towards all of them. "I want my rematch! Zuko!" he exclaimed and his fist was engulfed in flames.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Zuko exclaimed as he got into fighting stance.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu exclaimed and Zuko dodged Natsu's fist and he stepped back from the Dragon Slayer.
"What is this? An Agni Kai!?" Zuko exclaimed and he ducked under a blast of flames was sent to him.
"Who is this Aangy Kai?" Natsu asked. "All that matters is that I-" he was interrupted as he was punched in head by Erza who was now in her Heart Kreuz Armor.
"Back off, Natsu!" Erza said and the Dragon Slayer was on the ground and he had a pink bump growing on his head.
"He just never learns does he?" Katara rhetorically asked. "Hey I have a question has anyone seen Aang anywhere?"
Erza and Zuko both shook their heads.
Natsu got up and the bump was still evident on his head. "I haven't seen him he left this morning, right Happy?"
Happy nodded, however the blue cat had something on his mind regarding the Airbender. "I think something is wrong with him." he said in a worried voice, his ears also dropped down as he said this.
"What do you mean. Is he hurt?" Lucy asked with worry.
The blue cat shook his head. "He said that he had some important things on his mind, and that he had to figure things out. I don't think he slept after he had that nightmare."
Katara kneeled down to Happy. "Happy, what was Aang's nightmare about?"
"He didn't tell me..."
However Erza started to have an idea of what his nightmare was about. "Aang seemed really concerned about not going into the Avatar State. I wonder if this nightmare is about something related to that." she thought. "It is important that we at find him."
"Yeah, especially with that group from the Fire Nation around." Lucy said.
"Wait! Did he take Appa?" Katara asked looking to the blue cat.
"No, he went by himself." Happy responded
"We have to find him."
"Katara, don't worry. He couldn't have gotten far." Erza said comforting her.
----Aang was currently in the middle of a huge space in the forest and there was a huge circle that had a ground surface instead of a grassy one and he was meditating. In his mind a blue wisp was in front of him and it was the figure of the last Avatar who was born in the Water Tribe.
"Aang your story is quite a tragic one, and your nightmare is an even worse story to hear. But I think the nightmare is a sign that you have to gain control of the Avatar State as soon as possible."
"This can't be right. I don't think I can do it. I can't just forget about Katara just like that. I-I love her."
"Aang, I know that it must be very hard to let go of your desires, but there could be a lot more at stake than you realize. We have no idea, how the use of Magic will effect your body, I could put you in a position where you will be locked into the Avatar State for longer periods of time and shut you out from reality, from then you may lose control and perceive all around you as enemies. As the Avatar it is your responsibility to protect the ones you love. I know it's going to be hard, but would you rather have control of the power so you can protect her, or risk killing her so you can be with her?"
Aang then looked away from the spiritual projection. "You really making me think this is a one sided decision aren't you?"
"I wasn't able to save my true love from Koh the Face Stealer, don't make the same mistake I did. You have to protect the ones closest to you, even if it is from yourself." He soon faded away and Aang lied on his back and looked up to the sky.
"When am I going to learn? my past lives will always tell me the opposite of what I want to hear... hold on..." Aang sat up quickly. "Grey's Teacher! Ur was her name, she knows about magic maybe she can give me some advice that isn't one sided." he began to meditate but it seemed to take a long time. "What's wrong why can I...?" his thoughts were interrupted as a blue mist had appeared in front of him. "Its working." he said.
"Looks like you finally want to talk to me." Ur said to Aang with a smile after she had formed
"I'm really conflicted right now. I have to gain control of the Avatar State so I can control it and my Magic, but to do it-"
"I know the situation, I heard you talking to the past Avatars so I have an idea of what is going on. The magic that your body can learn is highly dangerous and can be very dangerous, if you don't know what you are doing. It also looks like that you can be able to flawlessly find ways to combine your Bending with your Magic, which makes it even more important that you can control this powered state of yours. But you don't have to rush that decision, you aren't in any danger that can trigger the Avatar State at the moment. However not all hope is lost though. The worst that can happen is that you completely forget about this girl or what made you like her in the first place after you 'let her go.' but who is to say you wont fall for her again, if it happened once, there is no reason to think it wont happen again. And you won't have to forget about her since you would have already mastered the Avatar State." Ur said.
Aang gasped. "Why didn't I think of that!? I'm still unsure about going through with it but you at least you really eased the pressure to make the decision off me. Thanks."
"However, I will warn you. If you are going to try to open your final chakra, don't wait too long to do it. You might lose yourself to your Avatar State if you enter is reflexively and you might not come back because the Magical energy inside you is also powering you in your Avatar State, causing the horrors that you saw in your nightmare last night."
"Oh..."
"Magic can be very dangerous Aang, even to those who cast it. The Iced Shell is one example. Don't let it overpower you. Magic is the very thing that took my daughter away from me." Ur said. Aang immediately felt sorry for her and now knew how much was at stake, but it wasn't vital to unlock his final chakra as of yet. "We'll talk later, goodbye." Ur disappeared in a blue mist and Aang opened his eyes and he came out of his meditative stance and he stood up.
"AANG!" he heard behind him and he saw. Katara, Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Zuko and Happy coming towards him.
"Oh hey guys!" he said while smiling as they came to him.
Katara then hugged him. "I was worried about you."
"I just had a nightmare that worried me a little." Aang admitted.
"Oh yeah? About what?" Gray asked.
"Trust me, you don't want to know."
"Now I wanna know!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Katara why are you still hugging Aang?" Happy asked with a smirk on his face.
She quickly let go of him and she was blushing. "O-oh. I completely f-forgot. S-sorry Aang."
"Don't worry about it." Aang said with a chuckle.
Happy began to notice some things. "Hugging for a long time, worrying a lot about about Aang, stuttering your words..."
"What's your point?"
"You liiiike him." Katara's face was glowing red with embarrassment and slight anger.
Suddenly she was chasing him and Happy was laughing as he flew away from her.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Erza asked.
"To be honest, I wasn't sure this morning and last night, but I am now." Aang then looked to Gray. "And Gray, your teacher gives great advice."
"Huh? What do you mean, you don't even know Ur."
"Oh I haven't told you guys yet have you?"
"Told us what? Are you keeping secrets from us?" Natsu asked.
"No, as the Avatar. There were past Avatars before me, and I can talk to them whenever I need to. Because Ur changed my body to use Magic, I can communicate with her spirit, just like with all the others. I'll explain in detail on the way back."
Soon, the entire group then began walking back to the Fairy Tail guild.
----Meanwhile Sokka and Toph had arrived outside a local swordsmiths shop. Sokka was holding a bag that was full of different Lacrima. Toph was pushing the huge portion of the metal pillar towards the shop.
"Okay, Toph just wait out here." Sokka said. "I'll go talk with the shop owner."
"Sure, why not. I don't have better things to do." Toph said as she sat on the rock fragment outside.
Meanwhile Sokka was inside the building, and the building was full of swords that looked completely unfamiliar to Sokka. He saw the shop keeper was a young woman who had sea green hair, brown eyes and wore round red rimmed glasses. "Hello, how may I help you?" she asked in a seet voice. Sokka saw that she wore a green and white dress and had brown gloves on, with black shoes.
"I was told that this would be the place to come to if I wanted to craft my own sword, is this the place?"
The woman pressed her fingers together. "Y-yes this is the place."
"Wait, you can craft a sword?"
"W-well I haven't yet. This store used to belong to my father, but now he is too old to work, so I have to manage the store. But business hasn't been good at all. Lately most people want to buy their swords rather than craft them. So my store is usually empty."
"That's just a shame, well I've brought all that I need to craft mine." Sokka said. "Toph you can come in now!" Sokka. The blind Earthbender was making the slab of metal levitate and Toph had dropped it on the ground hard, but not enough to break the wooden floor. "One fragment of Iron Dragon Slayer metal and-" he took out two different Lacrima. "And two magically charged Lacrima."
"What is the Lacrima for?" The woman asked. "I can't craft a sword from Lacrima."
"It will shatter under the heat, I'm aware of that so I thought of the next best thing. If we can crush the Lacrima into little pieces, we can throw those pieces onto the melted iron before we make shape the sword itself. Then once we shape and create the sword it should in theory have the same magical abilities as the crushed Lacrima did, thus making it Magic!" Sokka explained.
"Please tell me you haven't been drinking with Cana." Toph said.
"No, no think about it. I have with me, two Lacrima or Lacrimas... I think. This one here..." Sokka began as he lifted it up. "Is infused with light magic, and the second one is a Lacrima that is created specifically to absorb that Ethernano stuff so that my swords magic wont permanently run out of magical energy."
"Wow, you really thought this through." The woman said. Sound amazed by Sokka's intellect.
"Yeah and if we combine that with metal from a Dragon Slayer. This will create an unstoppable sword!"
"Pssh, I bet Erza could beat you, even with a 'magic sword'." Toph said using air quotes.
"Also mind if I shape it as well."
"Okay sure. I don't mind." She said with a smile. "To be honest I'm also excited. It will also be the very first sword I make." She shyly said.
"Well then let's do our best when making it then!"
The girl blushed a little after he said this. "Oh wait till Suki hears about this." Toph said with a smirk.
"I heard that!" Sokka exclaimed
----Meanwhile everyone was taking a break and Aang and Erza's group had just gotten back Katara could feel a presence behind her that was glaring at her. She slowly turned around and saw Cana holding a jug of beer and she gestured her to come to her.
"Huh? What does Cana want?" Zuko asked.
"Well, I kinda bent Fairy Tail's alcohol to use in a fight, so since I used all of it. I have to pay her back for it."
"Hold on, why are you paying Cana, when it wasn't her's to begin with?"
"Well according to some of our guild mates, her drinking habits cost the guild thirty percent of their alcohol budget. So I owe her thirty percent of Fairy Tail's monthly budget and she's going to take her cuts from whatever I make from all the jobs I do."
"Is everyone in this guild a little nuts?" Zuko asked.
Lucy overheard his question and walked up to the two. "Nuts is a bit of an understatement. You've seen Natsu, and Gray is-"
"Is what?" Gray asked coming to the three, spooking Lucy.
"Uh Gray, your clothes..." Katara said.
Gray was now down to just his dark olive trousers. "I won't even ask..."
"Hey, Zuko. You say you're not hunting Aang anymore, right?" Natsu asked
"Yeah, that's true."
"How did you change sides?" Natsu asked
"Yeah, from what I heard, the Fire Nation seem like the country that hates weakness and showing it too." Gray said.
"Where do I begin? My families history is... very complicated. Though I suppose I know of a good place to start. For you to understand my situation you would have to understand my family."
Other members of Fairy Tail arrived to hear Zuko's story. "As most of you should know. I was born in the Fire Nation. I was also the first born child of my father Fire Lord Ozai and my mother Ursa. I am, or was the prince of the Fire Nation. However because I lacked the 'spark' in my eyes that most Firebenders would have at a young age, because I was part of the royal family, and the first born no less. My father tried to disown me because he thought I wasn't a Firebender, it took my mother and the Fire Sages to beg my father to give me another chance. They somehow managed to convince him. They were relieved when it turned out I was a Firebender."
"Wow, I actually didn't know that." Aang said.
Lucy thought to herself after hearing Zuko's words "Nearly disowned for not being a Firebender? Makes what my Father did to me seem like nothing."
"After that, things weren't so bad, my family did have some good times in the homeland. Soon I was also trained to learn how to fight with two swords from a very young age."
Erza eyed Zuko with some interest. "Is that a fact? I would like to see how you battle with your swords."
"Is that your way of challenging me?" Zuko playfully asked with a smirk. "I guess I'll have to take you up on that sometime."
"THAT'S ALL IT TOOK?!" Natsu yelled knowing that Zuko didn't want to fight him, yet he was all for the idea of battling against Erza.
"Aye!" Happy chirped.
"I'm mostly curious on your Requip magic that everyone talks about, that and find out why everyone here is so scared of you."
"You didn't have to tell her that?" Lucy said with a little fear in her voice.
"Trust me there are a lot more things to be afraid of..." Zuko said trailing off.
"What about the old man that was here with you?" Grey asked.
"That's my Uncle, Iroh."
"He gives great advice, and makes good tea." Aang added.
"What can you tell us about him?" Cana asked.
"Well he wasn't as heartless as my father was. He lost his son Lu Ten in battle." Lucy and Katara held their hands to their mouths in shock. "Because of this he had abandoned his siege on the Earth Kingdom capital of Ba Sing Se. At the time, my family had an audience with the former Fire Lord Azulon. Afterwards my sister and I eavesdropped on them, he wanted to take Uncle Iroh's place on the throne, because Uncle showed weakness and grief after he lost his only son. Azulon told my father that Uncle had suffered enough and that he was soon to suffer. Unfortunately my mother disappeared during all this, and at Azulon's Funeral it was his dying wish that my Father be made Fire Lord."
"You don't think your Father had anything to do with Azulon's death?" Grey asked.
"Hard to say... I can't really say. I haven't really given much thought to it."
Natsu then eyed Zuko's face. "I've been meaning to ask, how did you get that cool looking scar?" the Dragon Slayer asked pointing to it.
"Natsu!" Erza angrily said. "It could be a sensitive thing to him."
"It's okay, Erza. Since I am a part of this guild. Its no use hiding how it got it."
"So who gave it to you?" Lucy asked.
"Was it some kind of Fire Nation monster?" Happy asked and everyone eyed him in shock. "What?" he asked
"Actually, it was given to me by my Father."
Everyone gasped. "Your f-father did this to you?" Lucy asked in fear.
Natsu then got mad. "When I find that Ozai. He's going to pay for everyone he has hurt!" he exclaimed.
"It was two years after Azulon's death. I was invited into a war council. I spoke out of turn and I paid the price. My father demanded that I participate in an Agni Kai."
"A Firebending Dual." Aang said.
"Precisely, an Agni Kai is a fight for one's honor and can only be won if you burn your opponent. I thought that I would be facing against the general, but instead. I was fighting against my Father. I didn't want to fight him, I'm sure you all can guess why. He said that I showed cowardice, which further disrespected him." Zuko then clenched his fists in anger. "And he did this." Zuko said gesturing to his scar. "After all that, stripped of my birthright and banished from the Fire Nation with strict orders not to return until I have caputred the Avatar."
"So that explains why you chased Aang all over the world." Cana said.
"What are you going to do now?" Gray asked.
"The main goal right now would be to stop my father, even if it looks impossible to do that now. But there is a threat that is coming to us."
"We already know about the group that was sent from the Fire Nation to kill me." Aang said.
"I wasn't talking about Ping and her Benders. You know who I'm talking about." Zuko said.
"Azula!" Aang angrily said.
"Who now?" Natsu asked.
"She's my younger sister, but believe me, other than my Father she is the last person you want to deal with."
"Sounds like someone I would to fight! What do you think Happy?!" Natsu asked as he was getting exited at fighting Azula.
"No you wouldn't she is... nothing short of pure evil. She once got her Firebending instructor sent to the colonies because he was quote teaching her the 'dumb way to firebend'. She is Confident and powerful, a Firebending prodigy. She is cunning, manipulative and will stop at nothing to get her way, no matter how many she has to hurt along the way."
"Don't you think you are doubting your own abilities a little?" Erza asked.
"No, in a fair and balanced fight. Azula would beat me." Zuko said. "Though last I saw her she looked as if she was going crazy."
"Why are you telling us this?" Lucy asked.
"Because there is a good chance if Ping and her group can't defeat Fairy Tail, My Father will eventually sent some Fire Nation soldiers and her to try and take us down."
"She doesn't sound too powerful!" Natsu argued.
Zuko now wasn't sure to think, he had either met someone who had more confidence in his abilities than Azula herself, he was simply just bluffing, or he was ignorant of Azula's strength.
"She is." Katara said. "Azula fights for keeps, she'll take your life if that means fulfilling her goals."
"Azula is definitely coming it is only a matter of time, and if she hits you with her lightning. You're as good as dead."
"Wait, Firebenders can also control Lightning?" Grey asked.
Zuko nodded. "Though the only ones that can use Lightning are Uncle, my Father and Azula."
Lucy quickly remembered something. "Actually, I remember that Chun girl, she could use Lightning, she shot it at both Aang and I while we were on that Helix Town job."
"That's not good. And when Azula finally comes here there is no doubt she will meet up with those four and plan to attack Fairy Tail."
Zuko got up from the ground. "I need some time by myself." He walked away from the group.
...
Later Zuko was staring down at the city of Magnolia he heard steps behind him and he quickly turned around and he saw that it was only Erza. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine, just bringing up everything about my family is hard sometimes, but I know how dangerous my father and Azula are. They have to be stopped."
"I understand Zuko, but even though, are you ready to just give up on your younger sister?"
"We're past that, which is why I'm going to train to get stronger so that when Azula shows up, I'll challenge her to an Agni Kai, one final time."
"What do you mean one final time?"
"That is when I will end her, once she's out of the picture the Fire Nation will be weakened severely."
"Are you sure this is what you want?"
"Azula wouldn't think twice about killing me, if it meant that she would be stripped of her Fire Lord status. And my father was willing to do the same just so he could become Fire Lord. No more this cycle of cunning and cruelty must end and it will with Azula."
"By doing that, you will only be as bad as your father, you're better than that." Erza said to Zuko trying to convince him not to go with his plan.
"And just what do you know!?" Zuko snapped. "You know nothing about me or my family! So just back off!" He angrily walked away from Erza and she looked into the sky.
"I know you more than you think." Erza said to herself.
----In the swordsmiths vendor in Magnolia, Toph was sleeping in the corner while Sokka and the merchant were crafting the sword.
She got up to her feet and she heard noises from the back room and she saw Sokka and the vendor putting the finishing touches on it.
"Are you two done yet? I've been sitting here with nothing to do all day." Toph said as she complained
"Don't worry we just finished, Toph." Sokka said and the woman was finished and she was holding a whitish brown worn cloth over the entire blade. She unwrapped the cloth and the blade was the exact same bluish black colour as Gajeel's metal. It was in the shape of a Jian sword and the bottom of the hilt had the symbol of the water tribe engraved into it. The sword had a dark blue and blue pattern around the hilt and at the top of the hilt was a flat circle and on that circle was the engraving of the Fairy Tail symbol.
"Sokka of the Water Tribe, I present you with your sword." The woman said he took the blade and he got into a sword stance.
"It's not as light as my old one, but I can get used to it." He swung it with two hands and the blade began to hum and a white glow after a while. "Uh what's happening?"
"Oh, it's responding to your movements. The Lacrima you have given me allows it to absorb light from the sun and transfer it into Light Magic, it can also absorb Etherano so it can be used at night, but if the sword is to shatter, it will create a huge explosion, so you might want to keep that in mind." the woman.
Sokka then put the sword in it's dark blue scabbard and he attached it to his back using the strap. "Hey, thanks this really means a lot uh..." Sokka thanked, however in all of the excitement he had forgotten to ask for her name. 
"Hey, what's you name?' Sokka asked.
The woman blushed and she quickly remembered to tell Sokka. 
"My name is Miranda Green." She said.
"Well it was nice meeting ya, and thanks for everything."
"Come again if you need anything."
Sokka quickly thought of something and he pointed to the wall. "I'm also going to need that." he said pointing at a circular shield.
"Okay, let me get that for you." She said and she tried to stretch up to the very top hang hook where the dark blue and grey circular shield was.
Toph felt her reaching up for something. "Uh, you look like you could use some help-"
"N-no I can reach it." She insisted and she couldn't reach it, no matter how high she stretched. Both Sokka and Toph had looked to each other and the Earthbender shrugged her shoulders. Sokka walked over and reached up and took it down for her. "Oh, t-thanks." She said.
"Toph, can you pay her, I have to carry all this stuff by the way."
Toph sighed and she handed over the Jewel for the sword and the shield. "Thanks you very much."
"Well, it's just an exchange anyway we'll see you around." Toph said and both her and Sokka walked out the building. "Hey Sokka, didn't you think she acted a bit weird."
"We're in a weird world right now in case you have forgotten." Sokka said.
"No, but she gave off the vibe that she had a crush on you."
"Nah, if she was crushing on me I would know."
"Whatever, I say we test that new sword of yours." Toph said.
"And what did you have in mind?" Sokka asked.
Toph smirked. "Oh I'll enjoy it, Sokka, tomorrow we put that sword. And you to the test."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't worry I don't want to ruin the surprise." She walked ahead of Sokka with a smirk on her face.
