Chapter 54: How to Tame your Dragon
As Madara was descending towards the Dragon like a rocket, he could've sworn that he heard his name being shouted or something like that, but he couldn't be sure… Not only was the wind blowing loudly due to his speed... also... the flames on his soles were also rather loud...
'They must be cheering me or something...' he couldn't help but smirk.
The smirk, however, didn't remain on his lips for long, as his peripheral vision caught the red Dragon already closing in on him from his left with its jaw wide open and flames already bursting out.
'FUCK!'
He didn't have time before a massive wave, mirroring his own Gouka Mekkyaku in size, engulfed him. He couldn't maneuver freely in the air, he isn't an airbender, and considering his gunbai was being held in his right hand, he really didn't have time to reflect the wave.
And like a meteor he was launched far away from the blue Dragon, eventually colliding with one of the twin mountains.
Watching Madara being launched far away, the Sun Warriors, Nari, and Kaliya managed to escape the blue Dragon crashing on the ground by the skin of their asses.
At this moment everyone was panting at a safe distance, holding their knees while taking deep breaths, some of the less physically inclined were already laying on the ground, refusing to move.
"WHAT…. IS…. THE … MEA… MEANING… OF…. FUCK IT!!" Sun Warrior Chief Song tried to maintain his image while panting loudly 'I'm getting too old for this shit!' "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!" He shouted, abandoning his "Chief image".
"I AM THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE ASKING YE!" Shouted Kaliya in return, not as exhausted as everyone else, but panting because of the scare and fear of being squashed. "YE FUCKING PET DRAGONS ATTACKED ON SIGHT!"
"THAT!.... hmmm… " Chief Song was about to say something but had to stop to think about what happened, why would the Masters strike right away? Thad had never happened….
"I knew the Masters would aim to eat that outsider!" Said Ham Ghao with glee, but his glee didn't last any longer than Madara's smirk, as Kaliya appeared in front of him and punched his head so hard that even when he reached the ground, he bounced once before laying silent.
"SHUT UP WEAKLING! GROWN UPS ARE TALKING!" She said with spite in her words.
The Sun Warriors nearby couldn't help but wince in pain at what they saw, this girl is way too violent… and with physical strength to back it up… she will never have a lover in her life, no one would be that crazy!
"And since we are talking about it…" Approached Nari with tired steps, finally recovering her breath. "Madara didn't attack once, he merely redirected their flames back to them and dodged, he never once displayed aggressiveness…" Her eyes were narrowed, and she even dropped the 'Mr. Uchiha' because now it's personal to her, these fuckers are pretending to be the victims here after shooting 'her son' first!
"Ugh… that… well…" Chief Song tried to come up with explanations, but he couldn't…. he was just blabbering there and everyone knew it, it was Xi that came up with a possible explanation.
"Uhmm… perhaps that's how Dragons make friends?" She asked with a confused and exhausted face, making everyone stop to think… It can't be… right? RIGHT?!
While everyone remained dumbfounded, she turned to Kaliya and Nari while raising an eyebrow "You two don't seem too worried about him… even after seeing the two biggest Dragons of the last two centuries aiming to eat or burn him alive… after that last attack he must be dead!"
Kaliya and Nari smirked at Xi's observation, but before they could say anything, the mountain that served as a 'cushion' for Madara's fall trembled, part of it exploded, and a loud laugh followed right after.
"AHAHAHAHAHA YOU ALMOST KILLED ME, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"…H-how is this possible!?..."
"…N-no way…"
Even Xi and Song went pale when they heard Madara's shout, how the fuck did this guy manage to survive that?!
Even the red Dragon, that was sure that even the flame didn't kill him, the impact should've done so, and the blue Dragon that managed to get up with some difficulty after crashing from such a high altitude, was shocked to see Madara walking towards them with a flame-like blue aura around him.
Limping, with blood covering half of his face and forcing one of his eyes to remain closed, and with half of his body sporting superficial burn marks, wearing a partially destroyed kimono, Madara slowly made his way towards the Dragons while his blue aura increased in intensity.
Everyone gulped while seeing that blue aura increasing in size, including the Dragons.
First a ribcage formed around Madara, slowly extending to create a long spine, two skeletal arms, and an eerie skull. Then muscles and skin slowly formed around the skeletal creature, and finally, what seemed to be skeletal armor covered the whole "creature".
"I'm tired of this shit!" Said Madara as he raised both of his hands, making the half-body armored Susano'o mirror his movements.
"Since you want to play rough, I will show you who the boss is here, now… BOW!" He shouted while dashing toward the Dragons.
Before either of them could react, a huge hand grabbed the head of each and swiftly slammed them on the ground, cracking the well-preserved pavement of the Ancient City.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
…
..
Silence remained…
Even Kaliya and Nari were with their eyes bulging out of their eye-sockets and their jaws almost hitting the floor.
…What the actual fuck…
All that they could do now was to gulp hard and try really hard to prevent their legs from trembling like crazy while failing at that prospect the moment they saw the huge red glowing eyes of that… thing….
"Now that the nuisances are taken care of…" he turned his gaze towards the crowd, making everyone flinch.
"Kaliya!" he shouted.
"Y-YES SIR!" She shouted while straightening her posture, much to her and Nari's surprise… she never did that before, where did that come from?!
"Prepare the first aid, I'm hurting all over…" He said with a calmer voice, "And Nari, please prepare a meal… I will be starving after I wake up…"
"Leave it to me, Mr. Uchiha," she said before nodding with a solemn expression, no way in hell would she let Madara starve.
Taking a deep breath, Madara dispersed his Susano'o. "Good!" He nodded with a smile before falling to the ground.
Nari, Kaliya, and even Xi and Song were worried for a brief moment until they heard Madara's loud snore… this fucker was just… sleeping?!
"How could he fall asleep? It's still early in the morning! Didn't he get here a bit late because he slept the whole night?" Asked Xi with a stupefied expression.
Nari simply giggled while hiding her mouth with her sleeve and casting a glance towards Kaliya "How Indeed… care to explain to us Kaliya?"
"Wait... Kaliya?" Xi raised an eyebrow and stared at the Northern Water Tribe woman, in confusion.
"Ah… how good it is to be young and naïve…" said Nari, finally making it click for everyone.
…
..
Silence again…
"…H-how is this possible!?..."
"…N-no way…"
….
So, this man decided to spend the whole night enjoying his lady friend and completely ignore sleeping, and still managed to play with the Masters like they were children, finally knocking them out…
With this violent, rude, scary woman….
It's official...
'THIS GUY IS FUCKING CRAZY! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE!'
That was the collective thought of almost every single one of the Sun Warriors, with a few exceptions such as Xi, who still didn't get it, and Song who glanced at Madara with respect in his eyes

I hope yall like it, see you later today (hopefully) and stay awesome you wonderful beings!
Chapter 55: Waterbending Scroll
Above a vast mountain range, high enough to even spot some trees, a Flying Bison slowly makes its way southeast while carrying three teens in its saddle.
Seeing Aang pacing around on the saddle, breathing heavily, was really irking Sokka "Would you sit down?! If we hit a bump, you'll go flying off. What's bugging you anyway?"
Worriedly, Aang replied "It's what Avatar Roku said. I'm supposed to master all four elements before that comet arrives."
Amused, Sokka spoke with clear sarcasm while facing Aang "Well, let's see. You pretty much mastered airbending, and that only took you a hundred and twelve years. I'm pretty sure you can master three more elements by next summer."
Frightened, Aang was losing his cool; "I haven't even started on waterbending, and we're still weeks away from the North Pole! What I am gonna do?!"
Katara gently held Aang's arm, speaking with a soothing tone "Calm down, it's going to be okay. If you want, I can try to teach you some of what I know."
That surprisingly was enough to make Aang smile "You'd do that?"
Nodding and looking over the side of Appa's saddle, the girl continued "We'll need to find a good source of water first."
Feeling the need to input his sarcasm in this lovely scene, Sokka grinned and commented "Maybe we can find a puddle for you to splash in..."
…
Water splashes high after Appa jumps into a river, turning soaking wet and almost knocking poor Momo off the rock he was standing on, then turns over and just floats on his back.
Sokka's eyebrows trembled while he stood there, soaked and holding a big stick with a large gathering of leaves at the end. "…. Why did I have to suggest that…."
"Don't worry Sokka, Appa likes you very much, he won't create a ruckus, I promise!" Aang said with a huge beaming smile.
Katara on the other hand could only grin at her brother's misfortune. "Go on, go clean Appa while I teach Aang… "
….
"Uncle! Someone's changing our course!" Shouted an angry, prideful Fire Prince, clearly afraid of a possible mutiny in his crew.
"Oh… Actually… I assure you; it is a matter of utmost importance, Prince Zuko, " says the old General while scratching his beard.
Zuko had a hopeful expression on his face when he heard the serious tone of his legendary Uncle, he rarely talks like that "Did you manage to get the Avatar's trail?"
Iroh's eyes narrowed "Even more urgent… it seems I-" he stopped talking to rub his forehead in stress, which made Zuko rather afraid… Iroh was never that serious and distressed! But then the old man continued…. "-I… have lost my lotus tile…"
"Lotus… tile?"
"For my Pai Sho game, of course! Most people think that the lotus is insignificant., but it is essential for the unusual strategy that I employ." He concluded with a serious, stern expression.
"You… You gotta be kidding me..." Said Zuko in utter disbelief.
"No, unfortunately, I am not, I indeed lost the lotus tile." Iroh nodded sagely.
"You've changed our course for a stupid lotus tile?!" Shouted Zuko in anger, Madara as a teacher or not, Iroh knew how to push his buttons like no one else! It's like the old man had a manual on 'how to piss off Zuko' always in his robes!
"I see. You, like most people, underestimate its value. Just give me ten minutes to check with the merchants at the nearest port." Iroh said excitedly. "Hopefully. They will have the lotus tile in stock and I can get on with my life.
Zuko was literally breathing fire at the ceiling in anger.
"I'm lucky to have such an understanding nephew."
"ARRRGHHH!" The room is filled with smoke from Zuko's outburst, clouding the view of everyone as he storms out, shouting in anger.
…
Sokka was amused while watching his sister trying to teach Aang how to waterbend. He considers it "trying" because Aang was doing it even better than his sister does! Even after years of 'practice' Katara's mastery over water is nowhere close to the ten minutes of training that the Avatar just went through.
'Well... he IS the Avatar… but it's still funny, and I will never let her forget this' he couldn't help but chuckle.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT!?" Shouted an angry teenage girl.
Then things escalated to the point that Katara even felt bad in the end and apologized to Aang for her temper, but completely ignored apologizing to her brother… screw this guy!
As they kinda…. Washed away…. their supplies during their extremely brief waterbending lesson… they had to find a nearby trading port so they could spend their massive fortune of three copper pieces! Madara would've snorted at that from the other side of the world if he wasn't busy at the moment…. Peasants….
Cross that, two copper pieces… Aang HAD to buy a stupid whistle, and now they are almost out of the money that King Bumi gave them back in Omashu, guess being the Avatar isn't that profitable after all… well Aang lives on "grass" so... there's that…
As the group was led by some weird guy with a clearly evil appearance towards a shop owned by the most obvious pirate in the Avatar World, Katara decided to follow their "high-risk trading" style and hijacked a pristine waterbending scroll, which led them to their current situation…
An angry shout echoed "MY CABBAGES! EVERYWHERE SOMEONE RUINS MY BELOVED CABBAGES! THIS PLACE IS WORSE THAN OMASHU!"
Aang decided to use the tactical retreat maneuver, carrying both Sokka and Katara with him and leaving the Pirates behind, eating dirt… quite literally at that…
After landing near the river, they set up their tent and made Appa comfortable, as Aang was putting his glider away, he commented "I used to kind of look up to pirates… but those guys are terrible."
Katara answered mischievously "Oh I know, that's why I took this…" She said while pulling the waterbending scroll from her tunic.
"No way!" Aang was surprised.
"Isn't it great?!" Katara was excited.
"No wonder they tried to hack us up, you stole their waterbending scroll!" Sokka was enlightened.
"Well... I do prefer to think of it as high-risk trading…"
Aang laughed out loud "Good one, Katara!"
As they continued to discuss how stupid Katara's idea was, well Sokka was doubling on that considering that they could've ended up dead if it wasn't for Aang's flight, they ended up deciding to agree to disagree, with Sokka walking away and Katara and Aang moving towards the river and unfolding the scrolls.
"Look at these moves! It's almost a complete move set of waterbending!" shouted Katara excited, she has never seen such complex postures and movements before, being the only waterbender in her tribe.
Aang was equally excited "Right?! And look, it seems that it has a signature!" he pointed to the bottom right of the scroll.
"Uh... I didn't notice that… hmmm it says… Ka… Kaliya… I think? I mean it does sound like a Water Tribe name." She probably would've ignored such a small detail if Aang wasn't beside her when she opened the scroll.
"It sounds girly," Said Sokka while chilling under a tree with a straw between his lips, not even looking at the duo.
"Yeah… as girly as the Kyoshi Warriors that kicked your ass so hard that you decided to run away…" commented Katara with a respectable level of snarkiness.
Gulp.
"Yeah… just as I thought…" Concluded the girl while turning her attention back to the scroll. "…she should be a powerful waterbender if she was the one to create such a well-made scroll…" The scroll was in mint condition, so she thought it is a rather newly made scroll.
"If we find her, she can teach us both Katara!" Said Aang in excitement.
"Sorry to interrupt your enthusiasm," said Sokka lazily "But I rather put my faith in that Madara guy, he did teach Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors, and he also taught that guy that keeps following us around to capture Aang…"
"Well, I disagree… this Kaliya obviously is a very skilled waterbender, while Madara's bending is still uncertain at best! For all we know… he could be a firebender…" shrugged Katara.
Sokka started laughing out loud "Firebender?! HAHAHAHAHA yeah right…" sarcasm was oozing out of his words.
As time passed, the situation repeated itself. Aang had a clear talent for waterbending, that was no joke, the baldy could do almost every single move from the scroll on his first try! It drove Katara into madness.
She had to take the scroll away from Aang, to prevent herself from exploding again, and walked while carrying it to a more secluded area with the intent of learning on her own without feeling pressured by the Avatar's extreme expertise with the elements… oh how happy she will be when he starts to learn earthbending….
While reading the scroll again and again, using the water from a small puddle to do the movements in repetition, time passed.
"Come on!" She shouted in anger, failure is frustrating... repetitive failures are even more so.
"I can't believe it is this hard, why couldn't this Kaliya have made a more step-by-step guide, or added some notes?!"
"What name did you just say?"
Katara jumped in fright, that voice… she recognized that voice!
Looking back, over her shoulder, she could see Zuko coming out of the foliage, staring at her with wide eyes.
"Repeat that name!" He demanded.
"W-what does it matter to you?"
Loud voices came from behind the bushes "We got one of them!" she recognized those voices as well...
'Pirates!'
"TELL ME THE NAME!" Shouted Zuko, expelling some flames from his fists, he wasn't kidding.
"K-Kaliya…?" answered an extremely confused Katara, even more confused after she saw Zuko's eyes trembling after he had confirmation of the name.
"There you are! And you got the scroll too, great!" Said the Pirate Captain, still carrying his green Iguana Parrot on his shoulder.
Taking a deep breath, Zuko stared at the scroll for a second before turning toward the Pirates, and his uncle who was right behind them.
"Well, gentlemen…." He assumed a combat stance "…It seems that the deal is off."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS
KojiSan
KojiSan
Hello there! another chapter for yall!
This one was rather.. time consuming.. to write, for many reasons really... one is that i had to cross refference with the actual canon chapter that this one is based of, i also had to create the believable buttefly effect and took liberties to tie both Canon with the Fanfiction lore, and blend them together to make them merge perfectly.
Yes! the Waterbending Scroll from Canon WAS from Kaliya! it was a great idea i had a long time ago, before writing the second volume even, the moment i added her to the roster of characters that idea came to mind, just to make her even more official in the world of Avatar!
I believe some people will be displeased that we jumped from Madara POV, to Team Avatar + Zuko POV, but that's a thing that i need to do as both events.. Madara vs Dragons, and this very necessary Waterbending Scroll chapter happens simutaneously.
So i decided that after Madara fell asleep and the curtains closed on that scene, it was the perfect opportunity to do this PoV sequence, before hopping back to Madara, and the Team Avatar... and then Madara... and then Team Avatar... and then... you got it, right? XD
I hope yall liked the Madara-less chapter! XD and i hope yall keep enjoying all the chapters that i come up with, either in this series or on others, yall are the best community of reaters that i could've hoped for! thank you.. you bunch of lovable sausages!
Have a great day, and stay awesome!
