=====
If the blue daytime on the spinning planet, awakens the loop of time, and if those who possess different hearts, were to be gathered, something will happen.
=====
Synchronicity is a remarkable sequence of events to say the least.
Synchronicity is a series of events that more or less happen with different intent but happen at the same time, and as a result, contribute to the whole final effect with presumed different outcomes by the originators of said actions. Most contributors towards synchronistic events also tended to be part and parcel of individual independent cause and effect without the other involved party having foreknowledge of the whole event. Most of the last few days of events have been in fact, part of synchronous timing.
First of all, the Crossworld Cutters were activated. One of the most powerful Shen Gong Wu in existence, it spontaneously decided to activate itself. Finding a lack of a proper exit, Raimundo did the first thing possible and activated the power with a cutting motion and a yell of “Crossworld Cutters!” Shooting in the dark, he sliced his way through into another world.
That world just happened to be the World of Four Elements, making Azula pause for a brief moment just before she recovered from the surprise bolt of power that launched itself from the rapidly darkening skies. She launched her own burst of blue fire, catching Iroh in the chest. The elderly man cried out and was spun about before landing heavily. In outrage, Aang, Katara, Zuko and Toph fired their own elements right into Azula who vanished in the confusion.
Zuko had barely a moment to cry out in rage as Aang and his friends fled the scene. Then the world turned purple.
The Heart of Kandrakar also reacted two seconds before everything went to pot as well. Will was currently in the middle of Loon Deflection in order to try and get to Matt who was rocking out to the classic Monster Mash song when the world’s light turned purple. The Heart of Kandrakar interacted with the spell that was currently being poured through an open portal from Meridian.
Elyon had memorized the spell and she was chanting. A long spell, one wrought of words and concentration and the Crystal of Boola Boola that sat in the middle of the room acted as the foundation of the spell. She was in the middle of the most critical stanza that would most likely have crippled the Guardians' spirits, when a random cloud of dust swirled up and she sneezed loudly, disrupting her chant. Wild magic erupted from her fingertips and poured through the map, ripping into the world and interacting with the Crossworld Cutters.
Far in the middle of Infinity, in the Fortress of Kandrakar, the Oracle looked up in surprise. The sensation he felt was so unreal, he could only do nothing but borrow a phrase from teenage contemporaries and utter “What. The. Fuck?!” just as soon as Tibor and Luba rushed in, screaming something about the Aurameres glowing with an unholy light.
Then The Universe Exploded.
Take notes people, this is going to be momentous.
=====
Omi was the first one to regain consciousness. One minute he was pretending to be a kid in a super dog costume, the next… he was a dog.
Omi had been a cat once under the power of Chase Young and while he had achieved dominance in a cat form, being a dog wasn’t quite as different. For the most part, it also came with an unmistakable urge to chase his tail.
Pushing himself to all four feet, he looked around and then ambled towards the lance of purple light that was shimmering in the distance. "This is most certainly not Heatherfield," he remarked to himself as he meandered down a hill and then hopped over a mound with surprising grace for a dog. "I wonder where the others are?"
A soft moan came from the hill he was standing on and Omi-dog looked down quizzically before setting his unusually strong paws to work. Soon enough, he unearthed a moaning girl who was dressed in a fine set of robes and had her hair up in plaited braids. "Are you all right, miss?" asked Omi of the girl who was still half-buried in the ground.
Seizing her collar, he pulled the girl up out of the ground with his surprising strength and then patted her down. "Miss? Are you okay, miss?"
"Mmmph, what happened?" asked the girl, opening her eyes finally. She then looked around and her eyes fell on Omi who was panting since he was hot. "Are you... talking?"
"Most assuredly I am," said Omi. "Curious, I didn't realize dogs could talk."
The girl blinked rapidly before standing up and looking around. "This isn't Meridian," she said to herself. "Where am I? What am I doing here?"
"Some strange magic washed over the world once again," said Omi, scowling fiercely. "This is most assuredly the work of the Heylin side."
"Hay Lin?" echoed the girl, her expression crashing down into an angry glare. "Tell me, where is Hay Lin now?"
"I do not know," said Omi, shaking his head. "The Heylin side is always on the move. Wuya and her companions may very well be in this strange place. In times like these, we should move towards the light."
The girl nodded and she said, "I'm Elyon. What's your name?"
"I am Omi," said Omi and the pair shook, hand to paw. "Come, let us depart before we idle further and cause the sun to burn."
"I think you mean get going before daylight is out," corrected Elyon.
"That too!"
Across the way, a similar event was taking place as Sokka erupted out of the ground, hacking and spitting. "Aw man, from fire to rocks to ground and soil..." Sokka spat out a decent chunk of earth before he dragged himself free of the earth. Landing on his back with a heavy thump, he moaned and said, "I just want to sleeeeep. Can this day get any worse?"
"Well now, what have we here?" drawled Hannibal Bean, tendrils folded over his chest and looking massive, as he was still in his expanded size due to the Moby Morpher. "Looks like a kid."
Sokka on the other hand muttered to himself, crossed his arms over his head and said, "Go away food hallucination, you're just a product of my tired mind and sharp painful hunger in my stomach. Go. Away."
In reply, Bean smacked him good and sent him tumbling head over heels into a tree. "Okay," whimpered Sokka, getting up from his upside down position leaning on the tree. "That, was the first time FOOD attacked me!"
"I'm Hannibal Roy Bean, son!" proclaimed Bean and he grew even bigger with the quick use of the Moby Morpher. "I'm no meal. And you, child, are about to get a Bean-sized pounding with extra sauce!"
Sokka did the only thing he could; he got up, gathered his weapons and ran screaming with Bean right behind him, slashing at the ground beneath him.
In another corner of the strange land, Raimundo pulled himself out of the ground and spat up a chunk of coal. "DisGUSTING!"
"Help...?" called out a voice from beneath the earth. "Someone? Anyone?"
"Hold on, I'm coming!" exclaimed Raimundo, setting to dig. Soon enough, he found a hand and a tanned face beneath the ground. "You okay?"
"I'm fine, but I think the girl with me is injured," called out the other. "Can you shift the earth?"
"Yeah, stand back! Shoku Star - WIND!" Spinning like a top, Raimundo scraped off layer and layer of sand until the pair were revealed in a natural cavern. One was a tanned girl in blue clothing, the other he recognised immediately. "Hay Lin!"
"Is that the name of the girl?" asked the first, helping Raimundo level Hay Lin out of the earth. "I'm Katara. We found ourselves down here when the quake hit."
"Nice to meet you, Katara. She looks pretty bad," said Raimundo, checking her over. "I know her pretty well; we journeyed together for a while."
"What happened?" asked Katara. "The last thing I remember was boarding Appa and then that weird beam of light slammed into the ground."
"I dunno," said Raimundo, checking his pockets. Finding the still-glowing Crossworld Cutters, he gestured towards the light. "I'm sure that's where we need to head though. We may be able to find some shelter or food and water. Help me get her onto my back."
Several miles in the other direction, Aang was roused from his enforced slumber by Appa licking him awake. "Augh!" exclaimed Aang, more out of surprise than anything else before sitting up. "Huh? Appa?"
The flying bison made a rumbling sound and Aang pushed himself to a standing position. Reaching up to scratch him on the face, Aang asked, "Where did you bring me?"
"It's not like it's going to talk," said Will from beside Appa. She was sitting cross-legged, watching the little formerly stuffed Pikachu wander around, making little cute curious sounds.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there." Said Aang.
"It's okay," replied Will, getting up and Pikachu ascending her shoulders. "I'm Will."
"Aang." The pair shook. "Where are we?"
"Beats me," said Will, shrugging. "I remember the Heart of Kandrakar activating for a moment and then the whole world turned purple. When I came too, I was sleeping against Appa, you said it's name was? And this little guy here poking me. His name is Pikachu."
"Kachu," greeted Pikachu.
"Ooooh, that's so neat! Wish Momo was here. He's a flying lemur," said Aang. "Have you seen anyone else around?"
"Not yet," said Will, shaking her head. "I was waiting for you to wake up first."
Oh, okay then," said Aang. "Let's get going then! Want help getting up on Appa?"
Several miles away in yet another direction, Prince Zuko was finishing bandaging his uncle Iroh up. "Uncle? Are you okay?"
"Of course he's not okay, he caught a fire burn to the chest, right?" snipped Irma who was leaning to the side, arms folded. The girl was playing with a small ball of water and she was tossing it around and rolling it in her hands.
"I don't think that's really the point here," said Taranee from behind her Master Chief helmet. "We should get moving though, or at least find some way of travel."
"We wait, till my uncle awakens," said Zuko and nothing else could be said after a statement like that.
======
Kandrakar had seen many things in it's long period of existence. The surprise appearance of several foreign people with varying powers was one of the lesser seen events. Especially when said person was evil to the core.
Wuya, Heylin sorceress had been a name on the lips of the Oracle ever since her imprisonment fifteen hundred years ago. She was also currently tearing up the Fortress of Kandrakar in an attempt to gain a foothold, and likewise to just utterly upset the balance.
Stone golems slammed their massive fists against the door and Tibor grunted, holding the magical doors in place. "Oracle, what is your plan?" he asked of his long-time friend.
"I cannot think of one," admitted the Oracle as he focused more power into keeping the council chambers safe from harm. "The flow of power has disrupted my abilities. I cannot think straight, I hunger and I am tired."
"There's got to be something we can do," said Kimiko, folding her arms. "I've fought Wuya before. Let me handle them!"
The Oracle cast a glance across the group of assembled people. A dancer-slash-acrobat, the Xiaolin Monk of Fire, a Guardian prematurely summoned to Kandrakar through the strange turn of events, a strange young man dressed in formal wear, and the leader of the Meridian rebels with his Passling friend. Such a strange pack of people. "No. I cannot allow you to put yourselves in jepoardy. The worlds are unstable, melded as one and chaotic. The possibility of you properly drawing your element is far too risky."
"I dunno what's going on here," said Ty Lee, "But that lady outside is real bad, right? I can deal with her, block her chi off."
"Does a Heylin sorceress even HAVE chi?" muttered Cornelia.
"It's risky, but doable," said Caleb. "We can draw her out of the pack, and then Ty Lee was it?" Ty Lee nodded and Caleb added, "You can do whatever it is you do to block off this key stuff."
"Chi," corrected Martin, or rather Tuxedo Martin at the moment. The boy had found a distinct urge to hide in the rafters to the point in time and give the womenfolk an opening, but the point being was that he had nothing else to do when pulled into the other world.
"RAAAAAAAAH!" cried a voice from outside and the others raced to the windows. Taking in the sight, Caleb whistled and said, "Go Will's mother."
Outside, Susan Vandom and Dean Collins were doing a credible impression of their own characters. Arrows went into weak spots and stony heads exploded. Anduril shone and was spun about, glittering as it cut down evil as it went. Looking over at the Oracle who also wore an amazed expression, Ty Lee said, "You know, I think we can do this after all."
"Indeed," managed the Oracle. "Quickly, open the doors."
The first golem to walk through met a messy end as Caleb twitched his finger on his thrower. Unlike Blunk who had dressed up as a Man in Black since he had misplaced his hat, Caleb's proton pack had enough power to light up New York. A stream of proton energy cut through the ranks, ripping and melting as it went. Blunk pulled a small handgun from his pocket and it spoke. A score of enemies were downed and between the pair, they pushed the horde back, making room for the hand-to-hand fighters to get inside.
Elsewhere on the same plane of existence, Jack Spicer was making a declaration of anguish as he stood over a giant statue of himself that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, half buried in stone and rubble off the coast. "YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DARN YOU! DARN YOU ALL!"
"Er... there, there?" said Mei, looking extremely uncomfortable. "Azula, do we have to put up with this boy for much longer?"
"Just until we find the Avatar in this strange chaotic land," replied the team leader. Azula looked very irritated hanging around the screaming boy. The other boy, a tall fair skinned young man who named himself Clay was still standing to the side, watching them warily. She smirked and licked her lips and he looked away, a little red. "In any case, we should move on. Spicer, you said you know the land?"
"Not precisely," said Jack, getting to his feet and brushing dirt from his hands. "But with the Jack Spicer patented landscape finder, we'll find our way out of this place."
"Spicer, I'd be the first one to admit I don't trust you or any of you missies as far as a tin horn could toss ya, no offence meant. But working WITH you has me more uncomfortable than a rattlesnake stuck into a pile of bison droppings." Remarked Clay. "But if your little gizmo there'll get us a-finding the way back to the good ol' US of A, then I'm all for it."
"Did you get any of that?" asked Mei of Azula and the princess shook her head. "Good. Neither did I."
"First things first," said Jack, taking out his "little gizmo" as Clay coined the phrase and tossed the sphere into the air. It unfolded and in an instant, Jack had the lay of the land downloaded into his wrist computer. "Okay, we're here, and the way home is over there, at the beam of light."
"..." Offered the entire group and then Mei muttered, "Well THAT was well thought out and useless."
"Oh, and one other thing," said Jack, taking flight via backpack choppers as the ground begun to shift beneath them. "SAND PIT!"
The sand exploded up and outwards and the others jumped aside as Jack hovered overhead. "The ground's unstable," called out Jack.
"More like, ergh, ALIVE!" yelled Clay back. "Wudai Crater - Earth!" Clay smashed his hands down onto the ground twice, pulverizing the earth where the living sand was once crawling towards them in an attempt to eat them alive. Mei tossed a few darts but it was swallowed up by the sand.
Azula fired a few bolts of flames, brilliant blue in nature as the sand advanced. Some of it instantly smelted itself into rough glass while the rest of the sand poured over it's wound. "Sand becomes glass when superheated!" yelled Jack from the skies.
Azula nodded and then she fired the most intense beam of flames into the sand.
Far away, Toph felt the vibrations in the earth. "Azula's close, and she's fighting," said the girl.
"Interesting," said her companion, the tall dark haired Chase Young. "How is it that you see, little girl?"
"I see with Earthbending," replied Toph, not looking directly at him with sightless green eyes. "What has happened to the land? It has radically shifted since I last set foot upon it."
"Mmm, I am not clear on the details," said Chase, "But there is a severe imbalance in the worlds' mana. I believe simultaneous tearing of the ether between our worlds have occurred at the exact same time as a potentially powerful and dangerous spell would have been cast. Your chi is quite different from the chi of a native of this world."
"Indeed," said Toph, nodding. "We should continue moving."
The pair walked in silence as Chase examined his companion. A young girl, no more than ten or twelve years old by his reckoning. Her footsteps were heavy, each one of them sensing the ground in and around herself as she meandered between a pair of rocks that stood before her. Toph, as her name was had been short-coming of her name or motive, but Chase knew how to pry things out of people in the fifteen hundred odd years of life. It was ironic really; the world had exploded a few scant days ago. And now here it was once more, on the brink of destruction. Irony was having a field day, and Karma was obviously coming up close.
"Stop," said Toph, her feet tapping either side of the well worn road. "I cannot feel anything. I'm blind..."
"Concrete," said Chase, blowing a little of the dirt away. "The ground is covered in a man-made material. It will be difficult for you to utilize your Earthbending here. Take my hand."
"I'll be fine," said Toph and she neatly walked into a lamppost. "OW!"
Chase sighed. Kids today, too independent to ask for help. Some things never changed over time OR space. Taking her hand, he led her down the road until Toph said, "That'll do," and yanked her hand out of his. She then strode forward in a more level pace and Chase allowed himself a sardonic smirk. If this was similar to having children, he may have to rethink his plans sooner.
=====
"Run away, run away, run away, Momo! Run away, run away, run away...!"
Sokka who now picked up Momo and put the Lemur on his head, skidded around the corner of the strange city block that had just popped up in front of him. Skidding round the corner, he ran into the most eclectic group of people possible, three in tight fitting outfits, a girl dressed in a chef's outfit and the last in a... Sokka didn't even have a word for the oddly dressed man. "Hey dude, what's the big rush?" inquired the oddly dressed one, a slightly nebbish kid who was dressed as a punk rocker.
"Big thing, chasing," panted Sokka just as soon as Hannibal Roy Bean loomed overhead in the Ominous Shadow (tm). "Gleep!"
"Nowhere to run now, kid," smirked Hannibal Bean and he grew several more tendrils and cackled loudly. "Nowhere to hide."
"Oh boy..." whimpered Sokka and Momo hid it's eyes.
"Dude, that's like some seriously bad Karma," said the punk rocker. "I'm afraid you're going to have to DIE for that!" In an instant, the punk rocker became Lord Raptor the zombie king and Sokka screamed at the sight of the zombie before passing out in the road.
Alchemy punched the member of Matt's band on the shoulder. "That wasn't nice," she said.
"Yeah, I suppose not," he remarked, dragging Sokka away as Alchemy stood in front of the enormous Hannibal Bean.
"So, what're you supposed to be, little lady?" smirked the giant bean.
Alchemy smiled and whipped out a giant frying pan. "A combat cook. HIYA!"
Bean barely limped away.
=====
If anyone can point me to the direction of Matt's bandmates, much obliged.

Omi was the first one to regain consciousness. One minute he was pretending to be a kid in a super dog costume, the next… he was a dog.
Omi had been a cat once under the power of Chase Young and while he had achieved dominance in a cat form, being a dog wasn’t quite as different. For the most part, it also came with an unmistakable urge to chase his tail.
Pushing himself to all four feet, he looked around and then ambled towards the lance of purple light that was shimmering in the distance. "This is most certainly not Heatherfield," he remarked to himself as he meandered down a hill and then hopped over a mound with surprising grace for a dog. "I wonder where the others are?"
A soft moan came from the hill he was standing on and Omi-dog looked down quizzically before setting his unusually strong paws to work. Soon enough, he unearthed a moaning girl who was dressed in a fine set of robes and had her hair up in plaited braids. "Are you all right, miss?" asked Omi of the girl who was still half-buried in the ground.
Seizing her collar, he pulled the girl up out of the ground with his surprising strength and then patted her down. "Miss? Are you okay, miss?"
"Mmmph, what happened?" asked the girl, opening her eyes finally. She then looked around and her eyes fell on Omi who was panting since he was hot. "Are you... talking?"
"Most assuredly I am," said Omi. "Curious, I didn't realize dogs could talk."
The girl blinked rapidly before standing up and looking around. "This isn't Meridian," she said to herself. "Where am I? What am I doing here?"
"Some strange magic washed over the world once again," said Omi, scowling fiercely. "This is most assuredly the work of the Heylin side."
"Hay Lin?" echoed the girl, her expression crashing down into an angry glare. "Tell me, where is Hay Lin now?"
"I do not know," said Omi, shaking his head. "The Heylin side is always on the move. Wuya and her companions may very well be in this strange place. In times like these, we should move towards the light."
The girl nodded and she said, "I'm Elyon. What's your name?"
"I am Omi," said Omi and the pair shook, hand to paw. "Come, let us depart before we idle further and cause the sun to burn."
"I think you mean get going before daylight is out," corrected Elyon.
"That too!"
Across the way, a similar event was taking place as Sokka erupted out of the ground, hacking and spitting. "Aw man, from fire to rocks to ground and soil..." Sokka spat out a decent chunk of earth before he dragged himself free of the earth. Landing on his back with a heavy thump, he moaned and said, "I just want to sleeeeep. Can this day get any worse?"
"Well now, what have we here?" drawled Hannibal Bean, tendrils folded over his chest and looking massive, as he was still in his expanded size due to the Moby Morpher. "Looks like a kid."
Sokka on the other hand muttered to himself, crossed his arms over his head and said, "Go away food hallucination, you're just a product of my tired mind and sharp painful hunger in my stomach. Go. Away."
In reply, Bean smacked him good and sent him tumbling head over heels into a tree. "Okay," whimpered Sokka, getting up from his upside down position leaning on the tree. "That, was the first time FOOD attacked me!"
"I'm Hannibal Roy Bean, son!" proclaimed Bean and he grew even bigger with the quick use of the Moby Morpher. "I'm no meal. And you, child, are about to get a Bean-sized pounding with extra sauce!"
Sokka did the only thing he could; he got up, gathered his weapons and ran screaming with Bean right behind him, slashing at the ground beneath him.
In another corner of the strange land, Raimundo pulled himself out of the ground and spat up a chunk of coal. "DisGUSTING!"
"Help...?" called out a voice from beneath the earth. "Someone? Anyone?"
"Hold on, I'm coming!" exclaimed Raimundo, setting to dig. Soon enough, he found a hand and a tanned face beneath the ground. "You okay?"
"I'm fine, but I think the girl with me is injured," called out the other. "Can you shift the earth?"
"Yeah, stand back! Shoku Star - WIND!" Spinning like a top, Raimundo scraped off layer and layer of sand until the pair were revealed in a natural cavern. One was a tanned girl in blue clothing, the other he recognised immediately. "Hay Lin!"
"Is that the name of the girl?" asked the first, helping Raimundo level Hay Lin out of the earth. "I'm Katara. We found ourselves down here when the quake hit."
"Nice to meet you, Katara. She looks pretty bad," said Raimundo, checking her over. "I know her pretty well; we journeyed together for a while."
"What happened?" asked Katara. "The last thing I remember was boarding Appa and then that weird beam of light slammed into the ground."
"I dunno," said Raimundo, checking his pockets. Finding the still-glowing Crossworld Cutters, he gestured towards the light. "I'm sure that's where we need to head though. We may be able to find some shelter or food and water. Help me get her onto my back."
Several miles in the other direction, Aang was roused from his enforced slumber by Appa licking him awake. "Augh!" exclaimed Aang, more out of surprise than anything else before sitting up. "Huh? Appa?"
The flying bison made a rumbling sound and Aang pushed himself to a standing position. Reaching up to scratch him on the face, Aang asked, "Where did you bring me?"
"It's not like it's going to talk," said Will from beside Appa. She was sitting cross-legged, watching the little formerly stuffed Pikachu wander around, making little cute curious sounds.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there." Said Aang.
"It's okay," replied Will, getting up and Pikachu ascending her shoulders. "I'm Will."
"Aang." The pair shook. "Where are we?"
"Beats me," said Will, shrugging. "I remember the Heart of Kandrakar activating for a moment and then the whole world turned purple. When I came too, I was sleeping against Appa, you said it's name was? And this little guy here poking me. His name is Pikachu."
"Kachu," greeted Pikachu.
"Ooooh, that's so neat! Wish Momo was here. He's a flying lemur," said Aang. "Have you seen anyone else around?"
"Not yet," said Will, shaking her head. "I was waiting for you to wake up first."
Oh, okay then," said Aang. "Let's get going then! Want help getting up on Appa?"
Several miles away in yet another direction, Prince Zuko was finishing bandaging his uncle Iroh up. "Uncle? Are you okay?"
"Of course he's not okay, he caught a fire burn to the chest, right?" snipped Irma who was leaning to the side, arms folded. The girl was playing with a small ball of water and she was tossing it around and rolling it in her hands.
"I don't think that's really the point here," said Taranee from behind her Master Chief helmet. "We should get moving though, or at least find some way of travel."
"We wait, till my uncle awakens," said Zuko and nothing else could be said after a statement like that.

Stone golems slammed their massive fists against the door and Tibor grunted, holding the magical doors in place. "Oracle, what is your plan?" he asked of his long-time friend.
"I cannot think of one," admitted the Oracle as he focused more power into keeping the council chambers safe from harm. "The flow of power has disrupted my abilities. I cannot think straight, I hunger and I am tired."
"There's got to be something we can do," said Kimiko, folding her arms. "I've fought Wuya before. Let me handle them!"
The Oracle cast a glance across the group of assembled people. A dancer-slash-acrobat, the Xiaolin Monk of Fire, a Guardian prematurely summoned to Kandrakar through the strange turn of events, a strange young man dressed in formal wear, and the leader of the Meridian rebels with his Passling friend. Such a strange pack of people. "No. I cannot allow you to put yourselves in jepoardy. The worlds are unstable, melded as one and chaotic. The possibility of you properly drawing your element is far too risky."
"I dunno what's going on here," said Ty Lee, "But that lady outside is real bad, right? I can deal with her, block her chi off."
"Does a Heylin sorceress even HAVE chi?" muttered Cornelia.
"It's risky, but doable," said Caleb. "We can draw her out of the pack, and then Ty Lee was it?" Ty Lee nodded and Caleb added, "You can do whatever it is you do to block off this key stuff."
"Chi," corrected Martin, or rather Tuxedo Martin at the moment. The boy had found a distinct urge to hide in the rafters to the point in time and give the womenfolk an opening, but the point being was that he had nothing else to do when pulled into the other world.
"RAAAAAAAAH!" cried a voice from outside and the others raced to the windows. Taking in the sight, Caleb whistled and said, "Go Will's mother."
Outside, Susan Vandom and Dean Collins were doing a credible impression of their own characters. Arrows went into weak spots and stony heads exploded. Anduril shone and was spun about, glittering as it cut down evil as it went. Looking over at the Oracle who also wore an amazed expression, Ty Lee said, "You know, I think we can do this after all."
"Indeed," managed the Oracle. "Quickly, open the doors."
The first golem to walk through met a messy end as Caleb twitched his finger on his thrower. Unlike Blunk who had dressed up as a Man in Black since he had misplaced his hat, Caleb's proton pack had enough power to light up New York. A stream of proton energy cut through the ranks, ripping and melting as it went. Blunk pulled a small handgun from his pocket and it spoke. A score of enemies were downed and between the pair, they pushed the horde back, making room for the hand-to-hand fighters to get inside.
Elsewhere on the same plane of existence, Jack Spicer was making a declaration of anguish as he stood over a giant statue of himself that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, half buried in stone and rubble off the coast. "YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DARN YOU! DARN YOU ALL!"
"Er... there, there?" said Mei, looking extremely uncomfortable. "Azula, do we have to put up with this boy for much longer?"
"Just until we find the Avatar in this strange chaotic land," replied the team leader. Azula looked very irritated hanging around the screaming boy. The other boy, a tall fair skinned young man who named himself Clay was still standing to the side, watching them warily. She smirked and licked her lips and he looked away, a little red. "In any case, we should move on. Spicer, you said you know the land?"
"Not precisely," said Jack, getting to his feet and brushing dirt from his hands. "But with the Jack Spicer patented landscape finder, we'll find our way out of this place."
"Spicer, I'd be the first one to admit I don't trust you or any of you missies as far as a tin horn could toss ya, no offence meant. But working WITH you has me more uncomfortable than a rattlesnake stuck into a pile of bison droppings." Remarked Clay. "But if your little gizmo there'll get us a-finding the way back to the good ol' US of A, then I'm all for it."
"Did you get any of that?" asked Mei of Azula and the princess shook her head. "Good. Neither did I."
"First things first," said Jack, taking out his "little gizmo" as Clay coined the phrase and tossed the sphere into the air. It unfolded and in an instant, Jack had the lay of the land downloaded into his wrist computer. "Okay, we're here, and the way home is over there, at the beam of light."
"..." Offered the entire group and then Mei muttered, "Well THAT was well thought out and useless."
"Oh, and one other thing," said Jack, taking flight via backpack choppers as the ground begun to shift beneath them. "SAND PIT!"
The sand exploded up and outwards and the others jumped aside as Jack hovered overhead. "The ground's unstable," called out Jack.
"More like, ergh, ALIVE!" yelled Clay back. "Wudai Crater - Earth!" Clay smashed his hands down onto the ground twice, pulverizing the earth where the living sand was once crawling towards them in an attempt to eat them alive. Mei tossed a few darts but it was swallowed up by the sand.
Azula fired a few bolts of flames, brilliant blue in nature as the sand advanced. Some of it instantly smelted itself into rough glass while the rest of the sand poured over it's wound. "Sand becomes glass when superheated!" yelled Jack from the skies.
Azula nodded and then she fired the most intense beam of flames into the sand.
Far away, Toph felt the vibrations in the earth. "Azula's close, and she's fighting," said the girl.
"Interesting," said her companion, the tall dark haired Chase Young. "How is it that you see, little girl?"
"I see with Earthbending," replied Toph, not looking directly at him with sightless green eyes. "What has happened to the land? It has radically shifted since I last set foot upon it."
"Mmm, I am not clear on the details," said Chase, "But there is a severe imbalance in the worlds' mana. I believe simultaneous tearing of the ether between our worlds have occurred at the exact same time as a potentially powerful and dangerous spell would have been cast. Your chi is quite different from the chi of a native of this world."
"Indeed," said Toph, nodding. "We should continue moving."
The pair walked in silence as Chase examined his companion. A young girl, no more than ten or twelve years old by his reckoning. Her footsteps were heavy, each one of them sensing the ground in and around herself as she meandered between a pair of rocks that stood before her. Toph, as her name was had been short-coming of her name or motive, but Chase knew how to pry things out of people in the fifteen hundred odd years of life. It was ironic really; the world had exploded a few scant days ago. And now here it was once more, on the brink of destruction. Irony was having a field day, and Karma was obviously coming up close.
"Stop," said Toph, her feet tapping either side of the well worn road. "I cannot feel anything. I'm blind..."
"Concrete," said Chase, blowing a little of the dirt away. "The ground is covered in a man-made material. It will be difficult for you to utilize your Earthbending here. Take my hand."
"I'll be fine," said Toph and she neatly walked into a lamppost. "OW!"
Chase sighed. Kids today, too independent to ask for help. Some things never changed over time OR space. Taking her hand, he led her down the road until Toph said, "That'll do," and yanked her hand out of his. She then strode forward in a more level pace and Chase allowed himself a sardonic smirk. If this was similar to having children, he may have to rethink his plans sooner.

"Run away, run away, run away, Momo! Run away, run away, run away...!"
Sokka who now picked up Momo and put the Lemur on his head, skidded around the corner of the strange city block that had just popped up in front of him. Skidding round the corner, he ran into the most eclectic group of people possible, three in tight fitting outfits, a girl dressed in a chef's outfit and the last in a... Sokka didn't even have a word for the oddly dressed man. "Hey dude, what's the big rush?" inquired the oddly dressed one, a slightly nebbish kid who was dressed as a punk rocker.
"Big thing, chasing," panted Sokka just as soon as Hannibal Roy Bean loomed overhead in the Ominous Shadow (tm). "Gleep!"
"Nowhere to run now, kid," smirked Hannibal Bean and he grew several more tendrils and cackled loudly. "Nowhere to hide."
"Oh boy..." whimpered Sokka and Momo hid it's eyes.
"Dude, that's like some seriously bad Karma," said the punk rocker. "I'm afraid you're going to have to DIE for that!" In an instant, the punk rocker became Lord Raptor the zombie king and Sokka screamed at the sight of the zombie before passing out in the road.
Alchemy punched the member of Matt's band on the shoulder. "That wasn't nice," she said.
"Yeah, I suppose not," he remarked, dragging Sokka away as Alchemy stood in front of the enormous Hannibal Bean.
"So, what're you supposed to be, little lady?" smirked the giant bean.
Alchemy smiled and whipped out a giant frying pan. "A combat cook. HIYA!"
Bean barely limped away.
=====
If anyone can point me to the direction of Matt's bandmates, much obliged.
