Chronicle 2 Post 14: Tell Him Who the Eff I Is.
Rosella watched as Darth flew into the Spiritual Lands with another teenage girl. She stood, wiped the dust off of her lap, and walked towards the glider.
"Eh?" Rosella spoke in a accented tone. "Another recruit, is this?"
Darth took off his flying goggles. "This one is special. She's a waterbender."
Rosella looked at the waterbender, who was nervously clutching her water pouch.
"Hmm." Rosella spoke in a mocking tone. "Alright. And what are you going to do with this one, oh Prince?"
Darth hushed Rosella. "A little bit of training would do nicely. Perhaps a trio with Charmed."
The waterbender felt a shock at the name, but contained it and maintained a straight face.
"Um.." the waterbender spoke. "Weren't we heading to Tungsten Glens?"
Rosella raised an eyebrow at the statement. Darth smiled nervously and chuckled a bit.
"What?" he retorted. "It's not much, I promised. Cmon, V- I mean, waterbender, let's go."
As Darth and the waterbender readied to head back into the sky, Charmed walked into the area they were. She took off her training ninja mask, and took a swig of water before walking to where Rosella was standing. She looked closely at the waterbender about to take off.
"Vane?" Charmed asked.
Chieftain Caruso strode down the hall with a couple guards not far behind him. He entered the main hall so swiftly that no one notice his presence for a few seconds.
The entire room bowed quickly and rose again when Caruso waved it, for it was unnecessary to him. He looked at the item Star clutched.
"Oh!" he exclaimed. "Coff must've forgot that."
Star widened her eyes with glee. "Coff was here? She's one of our missing friends!"
In the back Miso and Sky smiled and almost cried tears of joy.
Caruso smiled. "But of course. She was also here with a boy.."
"Adren?" Miso interrupted.
"Oh yes. He's the lively one, correct? Ah, the feast was very lively with them around." Caruso nodded and sat in his throne.
"Pardon me." Sky spoke. "But where are they?"
Caruso looked down at his hands. "They went off with my daughter and a few guards to the Old Temple Ruins."
"But why so?" Star asked, curious.
"They were in search of a woman. I forget names... uhm.. Vern?"
"Vane!" The three teens exclaimed in joy.
"That's great!" Sky walked over to Sky. "Oh, thank you!"
Caruso held a palm up. "Oh, of course! You are definitely welcome here, friends of the ones from our sister tribe. And definitely, you, Star the Avatar. I hope you bring peace to this world once and for all in your journey."
Star smiled and bowed. "I am thankful to be seen so highly in your presence."
"But of course." Caruso boomed. "I would allow you to catch up with your friends in the Old Temple Ruins, it's not that far from here, but our last ferry left earlier today."
"Oh, thats okay!" Miso spoke out. "If we're allowed, we'd like to stay here and wait for them."
"Oh, definitely!" Caruso replied. "I will prepare rooms for each of you, and you can venture through our glorious city while you wait."
The three teens bowed in thanks of the chief, and Bibbles ran up and licked his cheek.
Caruso smiled and left to ready the sleeping dorms, sighing and remembering his good ol' days when he was on a journey to his own fate.

Chronicle 2 Post 15: I Changed the Color. Deal With It.
Vane looked at the ninja with the darkish yellow hair. There was something so familiar with the her. Vane walked towards closer to Charmed and farther from the reach of Darth.
Darth motioned to Rosella, who nodded and intercepted Vane.
"Not a step closer." Rosella spoke, in a harsh but straightforward tone.
Charmed brushed past Rosella. "Oh, chill."
She walked towards Vane and grasped her hands. There was a desperate and saddening look in her eyes when they met Vane's.
"Oh.." Charmed closed her eyes. "I got the wrong person."
Vane held onto Charmed's hands gently and dimmed a bit. She thought she was a step closer to finding who she was.
"Hey." Darth called over. "Still wanna go?"
Vane turned around and shook her head. "No point. We probably won't find anything there."
"Oh." Darth nodded. "So.. what are your plans then?"
Vane looked into the sea. "I have no idea. Everytime I think I'm a step closer to the truth, I always end up farther."
The garden soon was full of anxiety and remorse from the presence of the empty waterbender. Even Rosella grasped her leather coat and stared at Charmed.
There was silence until Rosella spoke softly.
"I wanted to be a pop star."
Vane and Charmed looked up and at her, while Darth widened his eyes.
Rosella look forward. "It had always been my dream. But dreams and reality are different, and not all of us can get what we want at first. There will always be.... obstacles in the road to life. But here I am, happy to be teaching and learning to become a better warrior."
Charmed smiled and lifted her half-face covered mask off. "What was your name gonna be?"
"Excuse me?"
"I asked, your stage name when you are singing."
Rosella chuckled and kicked at the dirt. "Believe it or not, Ro$ella."
The garden bursted into laughter. Even Rosella chuckled to herself.
"But to be serious, I'm sure you will find your path and identity one day, waterbender. Have faith and hope, and those two will guide you."
Vane nodded and smiled. "Thank you."
Darth then walked over and leaned on his glider. "Hey.. waterbender, why don't you wash up? There's a fountain near the room over there. Charmed will take you there."
Vane nodded again and left with Charmed.
Darth walked over to Rosella and grinned.
"She's from the Southern Water Tribe."
Rosella looked surprised. "You two know each other much?"
"Yeah, she was with the Avatar."
"The...Avatar?"
"Yup.. but she forget most of her past. Including the fact that this is the Spiritual Lands."
"Hmm... yet she remembers the Spiritual Warriors."
"Yup. Try to not spill the beans."
"Ah, your language is hard to decipher but somewhat understandable."
Darth laughed and laid onto the tall grass staring up at Rosella.
"By the way, that was some nice acting and talking you did there. Very believable."
Rosella looked down eyed a lavender flopping through the wind. She plucked it and gazed as a bumble wasp flew around her. She smiled and dropped the flower. "Very.... believable." she whispered.

Chronicle 2 Post 16: You're Making Me Ill
Coff, Adren, and Bonaka soon land in the Old Temple Ruins shortly after a few days. They walked across the vast ruins, searching for their lost friend and sister. They decided to split up, looking high and low for Vane. When they regrouped with nothing, they decided to take a rest.
Bonaka took off her fur coat. "It is certainly warmer in this place."
A guard walked up to her and took her coat, switching for a linen jacket.
"Thank you." Bonaka smiled, then turned her attention to Coff and Adren. "Would you guys prefer a soft linen?"
Adren walked over to trade, but Coff was determined to find her sister.
"We searched everywhere!" Coff groaned. "Even off-limit places for tourists."
"Chill.." Adren yawned. "She should be around here somewhere. This is probably the only place with bricks for miles around."
Princess Bonaka looked sad. "I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time. But this is the only place that I figured would be reasonable."
Coff closed her eyes and tried to think. Bricks, ruins, and vast seas. This was it. Coff's eyes fluttered open and look down and saw a shadow emerging from a ruin.
The guards rushed over to their side as a face appeared from the corner of the ruins.
"Are you looking for the waterbender?" Misa said softly, half of her body still hidden behind the ruins. She had a pale look on her face, as if she had not been sleeping well.
"Yes!" Coff rose. "She's my sister. I'm Coff."
"Coff..." Misa hummed. "Yes, she did mutter that name."
"Who?" Adren interrupted.
"The waterbender."
"Vane?"
"Oh.. is that her name?"
Misa stepped forward and looked at Coff disdainfully. "My name is Misa. And Iim sorry. I should've stopped her from leaving."
Princess Bonaka stepped forward. "I am Princess Bonaka of the Northern Water Tribe. Please don't mind me interrupting, but do you know of Vane? And her location?"
Misa bowed. "I'm truly sorry. The waterbender...ah... Vane... was carried away by a man looking for her sister. Which... presumably must be you."
Misa pointed at Coff, who had many questions welled up inside her.
"If you don't mind me asking," Princess Bonaka spoke softly, "What did this man look like?"
Misa closed her eyes. "Slightly tall, blonde blackish hair, glider.."
Coff and Adren gasped.
"Do you know where they are headed?" Adren spoke quickly.
"Not certain." Misa shook her head. "I am sorry."
"Don't be." Bonaka smiled. "We know of Vane being alive, and this is most gracious news for us at the moment. We thank you."
Misa smiled. "I am quite angry with myself. I wish to be of more help."
Coff and Adren exchanged looks with Bonaka, who smiled. "Misa... would you like to come with us?"
Misa had a surprised look on her face. "I.. I don't know. I haven't left this island for many years."
"Oh my.." Coff whispered.
"Yes." Misa looked down. "I have been here training for ages by myself until I met Vane. It was wonderful to have a bit of company."
Adren smiled. "Come along with us. There are many places to see, many things to do, and many places to train in the world. Plus, you will never be lonely."
Misa trembled with happiness mixed with confusion. "I....don't know.."
Princess Bonaka waved to a guard, who stepped forwards and soon placed a linen jacket onto Misa.
"Please." Bonaka smiled. "You could help us find Vane."
Both Bonaka and Adren looked at Coff, waiting for an answer. But Coff was looking into the horizon, one hand clutching the water pouch.
"Darth...." she said, gritting her teeth.

Chronicle 2 Post 17: Re-Reunion
The ferry docked back into the Northern Water Tribe. Out stepped a bunch of tourists that flooded back into the gates of the kingdom. Lastly, four figures emerged from the back of the ship.
Caruso pointed towards them. "There, my friends, are your friends and my daughter."
Miso, Star, Sky, and Bibbles looked up and their eyes met with Coff, Adren, Misa, and Princess Bonaka.
Coff and Adren gasped and ran towards them, with Misa and Bonaka following behind.
Chieftain Caruso rallied the now emotional and joyful group and led them back into the main hall. There was a bunch of hugs and tears, followed with exciting tales to be told.
"Hi there, I'm Misa."
"OMG I MISSED YOU!"
"This...is..wow.."
"Sniff.... I thought I would never see you guys again!"
"Mew..."
After everyone new was introduced to each other, hot chocolate and coffee followed shortly.
"So... no one found Vane?" Star asked quietly.
Coff and Adren shook their heads and informed Star, Sky, and Miso of their adventure. Miso, Sky, and Star then updated Coff and Adren about their adventure.
"You.. awoke in Tungsten Glens?" Adren asked Star.
"Yup." Star answered.
"Weird."
After a little bit more chatting, Adren stood up and spoke loudly.
"Look guys, I know that our main goal was to help the Avatar, but it has been quite a long time. Wouldn't a little longer be helpful in finding Vane?"
Everyone nodded as Adren reached his hand out.
"We all together?" he asked.
Everyone in the hall laid their hands on top of Adrens. Even Bibbles tried to place his hand close enough.
"FOR VANE!" the room echoed.
Vane was training her waterbending when she felt a shock through her brain. "Ughh..." she mumbled.
Darth walked over towards Vane and held her hands.
"Easy now. Feel the chakra flow in and out. There."
Vane smiled and trained a while longer as Darth assisted Rosella and Charmed.
A while later Darth called the girls together.
"Now, we have been training for a while. Do we still understand our objective?"
Vane and the others nodded. "Assist the Spiritual Clan, and the Spiritual Clan will assist you."
"Good." Darth smiled. "Don't forget. Now, I have gotten you all new outfits."
He tossed them all a stylish matching red and black outfit.
Rosella held hers up in the air confused. She had spotted the letters 'VRC' inscribed in the back of the outfit. "What is... Verc?"
Darth laughed. "Your first names. I hope you enjoy them."
Vane bowed. "Thank you, Darth. We won't disappoint the Spiritual Clan."
Darth smiled and eyed Vane. "No, you won't."

Chronicle 2 Post 18: Clash of the Clans Part 1
Vane slipped into her outfit and brushed her hair. She then attached her water pouch conveniently by her side in a slightly torn belt. She was about to leave when the ship's horn blared and a voice crackled through the speakers.
"VRC.. to deck one please." the captain of the ship announced.
Vane and the others had boarded upon a spiritual clan warship on course to the Northern Water Tribe. Darth had plotted with VRC to attack the city.
"But.." Vane commented. "Why must we attack?"
Darth smiled evilly and lied. "Oh, we're gonna try to find information of your past. Since the Southern Water Tribe is harder to get to, why not try the Northern Water Tribe? Anyways, we won't harm much. We'll get the information and be on our way."
Vane nodded and trusted Darth.
Rosella spoke out. "Hmm… And how do we get in?"
Darth sat down and laughed. "Simple. Brute force."
The ship approached the gates of the Northern Water Tribe's kingdom. The guards of the gates peered at the incoming ship.
"What the.." a guard spoke. "One Spiritual Clan ship? Is this some kind of joke?"
Then, as soon as the guard spoke, a shower of icicles rained from the sky. Aboard the ship Vane waterbended the clouds and used the condensation to form icicles.
"Ahh!" the guards yelled. "Stations! Alert the palace!"
The guards took their stations, waterbenders near the top of the gates, and other guards fired arrows. The waterbenders danced in sync, causing a giant wave of water to rise and rip into the warship's direction.
"I got this." Vane smiled. She flicked her arms and cupped them on her mouth, blowing an icy breath onto the wave, causing it to freeze in midair.
"What?" the guards spoke, amazed. "We need backup!"
In the palace Chieftain Caruso received the news and gathered the Avatar and friends.
"What?" Adren spoke. "A Spiritual Clan warship?"
Chieftain Caruso nodded. "We had many before, be they all surrendered and left us in peace. However, this one is stronger. I must dispatch troops."
"Let us help." Star spoke out, Bibbles sitting on her shoulder.
Princess Bonaka looked at Star, then at Caruso. "I have seen them fight. Together our friends are strong."
Caruso nodded. "As you wish. Please help us, then."
As soon as the team left, a guard ran up to Caruso.
"What?" Caruso asked.
"Sir!" the guard spoke. "There have been reports of a waterbender aboard the ship!"
"It doesn't matter!" Caruso growled. "We must fight for our kingdom, and all inconvenient obstacles must be ignored. We are at war, and we must fight for peace."

Chronicle 2 Post 19: Clash of the Clans Part 2
Chieftain Caruso walked upon a pedestal in the main hall for an announcement to the guards and citizens. The team joined in as well.
"We have sent out many troops already to our gates, and I fear that the results have not been good. There are already counted 300 Spiritual Clan warriors, and we are waiting for more ships to appear. I need all guards to take action, to protect our citizens and the city." Caruso boomed, Bonaka at his side.
"What we feared has once come again, and just like before we must fight to win. We have the help of the Avatar and friends, of course. We wish that all of you will fight strong tonight, and even if you fall, fall with pride and grace."
The room roared and soon dispersed. Coff and Adren ran out to the top of the gates to fight the warriors and hold them back, Sky and Miso repaired the crumbling walls with whatever form of earth they could find, and Bibbles transformed into the almighty dragon cat and carried Star into the sky towards the warship.
Darth flew around on his glider. "Ah, the Avatar." He spoke out loudly to her. "Your powers are useless, for my father will dispatch dozens more ships to back up our plans."
Star braced through the wind and shouted back. "What plan?"
Darth chuckled. "I can't tell you. But I can say that we have your friend."
Star gasped. "Vane?"
Darth nodded. "The one and only. Too bad she's on our side."
"No she's not!"
"'Afraid so."
Star clenched her fists. "Then I'll get her back!" Bibbles charged forward to attack Darth, who glided higher into the sky.
"Don't forget, I'm at an advantage right now." Darth spun and a whirlwind directly hit Bibbles.
Bibbles mewed in pain, but soon flew back up. Star looked at the ocean below and spotted the warship approaching the gates.
"Bibbles! We need to go back!" Star exclaimed.
Bibbles nodded and flew down towards the ship.
Darth gritted his teeth. "I can't let you do that." He closed his glider and swooped into Bibbles. He then motioned his hands in a hawk position and blasted shockwaves of air at Star.
The shockwaves blasted into Star and Bibbles, and Bibbles fell down and plummeted into the ocean.
"Sorry Avatar." Darth grinned. "But I need to conquer this kingdom."

Chronicle 2 Post 20: Clash of the Clans Part 3
"Watch out Adren!" Coff shouted.
A piece of a gigantic iceberg fell above Adren, which Coff quickly whipped it away with her Water Whip..
"Thanks Coff. I owe you one." Adren grinned.
Adren took out his trusty bow and arrow and pinned the clothes of a few spiritual warriors to the iceberg, making them incapable to movement.
"Huuugh!" Sky groaned as she tried as hard as she could to keep the toppling ice wall from falling as the warship bashed through. The wall soon crumbled and was about to crush onto Sky.
"Heryah!" Miso yells, thrusting his leg across the wall, a large flame burning at the tip of his foot. The wall quickly melted from the heat of his foot and rained safely around Sky.
"Thanks." Sky quickly yelled, turning back at the wall. "Toss me more clay!"
The warship soon entered the kingdom and stopped at the port. Three figures emerged among the shadows of the ship. One of them darted off and pulled out a new kusarigama, which she thrusted it at the water kingdom guards nearby, knocking them off of their feet. Another jumped from the ship and whipped out a whip, which she used to clear the path. The last figure jumped from the ship and landed a few feet from the other two, hands out ready to waterbed. As the smoke cleared, the three of them in their red and black uniforms stepped forward.
"Remember the objective." Rosella spoke in her accented tone. "Find the chieftain."
The other two nodded and ran off in separate directions, fighting back the guards and warriors.
Rosella waltzed towards the main hall, her whip dragging at the ice by her side. She was approaching the stairs when Princess Bonaka and Misa appeared from the doors.
"Oh, how lovely." Rosella remarked. "I expected a bigger welcoming committee."
Bonaka turned slightly pale, but showed nothing but anger. "Please leave us in peace!"
"Or what?"
"By the spirits we will reign over you spiritual clan followers!"
"Don't make me laugh."
Rosella grasped her whip and flicked it around her. "Little princesses like you two should not play around dangerous weapons such as my whip here."
Misa took off her shoulder wrap and a gust of wind blew into Rosella, who stepped back.
Bonaka took off her fur coat and revealed a slightly trimmed and darker outfit, as she flicked her hair back and held out a staff. "We shall see."
Charmed leaped from building to building, leading the waterbenders below in confusion. The waterbenders yelled for her to stop. Soon the commotion caught Miso, who followed. Miso looked up and saw the woman, her entire face almost covered with a black cloth. As Charmed jumped onto the roof of a string of apartments, Miso motioned his hands in a phoenix position and shot fire at the ground, carrying him onto the top of the building.
"Huhh.." Charmed groaned.
Miso seemed to not know who she was. "Stop."
Charmed scowled. "You're wasting my time."
Miso flicked his arms up, and then thrusted them in separating directions, creating a wall of fire.
Miso smiled. "Ladies first."
Vane thrusted her hands up and formed a Water Whip, knocking back the water kingdom guards and creating obstacles for them to go around. As she ran, dodging the paths where the kingdom warriors were located, she soon spots a fountain of fresh water.
"Gah! I only want information.. what is wrong with these people?" Vane snorted.
She leaps into the fountain and spins, swinging her arms around in a sawfish position, blasting the icy water at the guards, sending them back.
"Ah.. that was easy."
Vane stepped out of the fountain as was about to start running again when a girl that looked familiar stepped in front of her. Vane soon felt a shock to her brain and grasped her head, her teeth clenching, her foot paralyzed and disobeyed to move. The girl stepped forward and held out her water pouch.
"Why….what… same water pouch.." Vane gasped and muttered.
The girl looked at her, tears about to brim at her eyes.
"Sister.." she muttered.

"Caruso!" Rosella shouted. "You coward!"
Rosella was yelling taunts and blames across and into the main hall while fighting Misa and Princess Bonaka.
Bonaka held out her staff. "My father has evacuated the building to help with the kingdom guards. Your yelling will get you nothing."
"Tch!" Rosella gritted. She took out two rose-engraved discs and tossed them at Bonaka.
"Watch out!" Misa yelled. Misa cupped her hands around her mouth and sent a strong gust of wind that blew the discs in a different direction, which hit the ground and exploded.
"Oh my.." Bonaka gasped. "Thank you dear Misa."
Rosella whipped her bangs back and smiled. "And what can your pitiful staff do, little girl?"
Bonaka stared deeply at Rosella. "This!"
In a flash, the icy tip of the staff began to transform mechanically. Two holes appeared from each end of the staff and formed into a transportable cannon. Bonaka heaved the cannon onto her shoulder and dug one end into the ground. The tip dug into the earth and munched into a ball of snow.
"Try my Icy Cannon!" Bonaka yelled.
Bonaka pressed back and launched the ball of snow directly into Rosella.
"Ugh!" Rosella mumbled and fell backwards. "Not bad..."
Charmed squatted and leaped over the wall of fire in astonishment to Miso.
"What the..." Miso commented and began to chase Charmed.
The two began to leap from building top to building top again until Charmed stopped to take a breath.
"Herryah!" Miso yelled, sending a rain of fire down from the sky.
Charmed easily dodged the fireballs by shifting her feet, and grabbed out her steel rod.
"You want to play dirty?" Charmed mumbled. She then swooped the rod below Miso's feet, knocking him onto the ground.
"Ergh!" Miso moaned as Charmed walked over. As Miso tried to get up Charmed slammed her rod near his head and kneeled down beside him.
"Give up." Charmed whispered. "You do not have the same agility as me."
Miso smiled. "You clearly aren't as intelligent as I am."
He took a deep breath and breathed fire onto Charmed, who was blasted into the air and fell onto the wood shingles of another building.
Miso stood up and jumped over and nearly onto Charmed when she held her two hands together and pulled out a scroll. Miso landed feet first onto the thin and durable steel and yelled with happy tears.
Vaned stared at the familiar figure with curious eyes. Coff wiped away her tears and stepped forward towards her sister.
"Not a step closer!" Darth yelled, as he swooped into the court.
"Darth!" Coff hissed.
Vane was confused. "What's going on?"
Coff looked desperately at Vane. "You.. don't remember me? It's me! Coff!"
Vane felt a shock to her brain as she remembered the name from the Old Temple Ruins.
Darth soon began to act. "Vane, that Coff is our enemy! She wants nothing but you defeated."
Coff yelled back. "That's not true! Vane! I'm your sister!"
"No, Vane! All that girl wants is to ruin and destroy our mission!"
"What is with you Darth? Why doesn't my sister know me?"
Darth smiled. "Because you're nothing but a stranger to her."
Vane gripped her eyes and fell onto her knees. "ENOUGH!"
Darth kneeled down and laid a hand onto her back. "You can trust me, Vane. You are one of us." Darth whispered into her ear.
Vane looked down and nodded. Flicking her hair back, she stood up and faced Coff.
"Stay out of our way." Vane spoke to Coff, a tear about to shed from her eye. "Or you'll have to get through me."

"Star...." a voice whispered.
"Star... wake up Star...."
Star's eyes fluttered open and saw herself surrounded by a light mist. Bibbles mewed beside her as they drifted in midair in a shroud of darkness.
"Where..." Star muttered. "Am I?"
Suddenly, two large sulfuric eyes flared in front of Star.
"Avatar.." a deep voice groaned.
Bibbles shrieked and jumped into Star's coat as the eyes moved closer, forming a giant dragon spirit.
Star gulped and stood still. "That I am. Who are you?"
The spirit wrapped around Star. "I am Clentheyus, Spirit of the Conscious."
Star lit up and gasped. "Wait! I..I'm in the ocean! I must be drowning!"
Clentheyus hummed and chuckled. "Don't worry, Avatar. You are currently in Avatar Mode, and your human form is safe."
Star sighed. "Clentheyus, I have many questions unanswered I would like to ask."
The spirit dragon began to dissolve into thin air. "In due time, Avatar. We will meet soon, I am sure of it. But you have a duty at the moment."
Star reached into the air. "Wait! Are the Spiritual Clan prophecies true? Are they the chosen one?"
The sulfuric eyes flared back one again. "I can only tell you one thing for now. Believe in what you will, follow what you feel correct. The rest will be covered in fate."
The once bright red light shed from Clentheyus dimmed, and Star felt a jolt in her brain like a thin wire pulling her back to her body.
Coff panted as she was tossed on the ground by Darth's air shockwaves and Vane's Water Whip.
"Please!" Vane cried out. "Leave us alone!"
Coff slowly got up and chuckled. "You don't remember Vane. Oh, what has Darth done to you?"
"She's insane!" Darth roared, blasting a tunnel of air at Coff. Coff yiped and crashed into the fountain. Covered in bruises and excruciating in pain, Coff stood up and tore at her clothes, ripping the cloth off around her arms. She then waved her arms in a sealwrap position, and then laced her hands around her arms. A bright blue light glowed, and her scars and bruises soon dwindled. Coff then opened her eyes and held out her arms.
"You can do the same."
Vane grimaced and closed her eyes. "Stop!" Vane then whipped her Water Whip towards Coff.
A figure quickly moved in and blocked the whip, causing it to fall helplessly.
"Vane.." Star whispered.

Bonaka shivered at the cold, icy air as she faced Rosella head-on. Rosella smirked and whipped her hair back. She then grabbed two rose-implanted discs and threw them into the air.
"Your measly-gripped weapon is nothing compared to mine!" Rosella yelled. She lashed her whip against the discs, sending them towards Misa and Bonaka.
Misa flicked her arms out and closed into her chest, sending a gust of wind to slice into a disc.
Bonaka flung her staff around her, and the vapor in the air transformed into little ice droplets. As the droplets closed in, Bonaka manipulated them to create a solid ice wall which the disc collided into, exploding at point.
Rosella grimaced at the sight. "The staff… the power to form solids from gases!"
Bonaka held her staff steady in front of her. "Yes, a chemistry technique founded through the observation of dry ice."
"Such technology! This place… shall be conquered!" Rosella chuckled, her feet dug into the freshly fallen snow.
Suddenly from a roof not afar Charmed was flung into Rosella.
"Oof!" Rosella yelled, her uniform covered in snow. "Watch it, Charmed!"
Charmed rubbed her eyes. "I..I'm sorry. But.."
Before she got to finish, a gust of fiery wind blew from the direction Charmed was flung in. Out stepped Miso, his clothing almost entirely ripped, his palms infused with fire fueled by anger.
Vane was out of breath. The two familiar figures stood in a blur in front of her eyes, as she was a tired and confused from the reality and truth.
Darth held onto Vane like a marionette, her moves would be powered by his airbending and newly acquired waterbending wherever she shot.
Darth chuckled. "Now, a good trait for being the heir to the Spiritual Clan throne is something called Dualbending."
Darth thrusted one of his palms out, and shockwaves flew into Star's direction. He flung his other palm towards Coff, which a blast of pressurized water shot out.
"Bibbles!" Star called out. Bibbles leaped out of Star's coat and onto her arm. "Transformation sequence!"
Bibbles mewed and transformed into a dragon cat.
"Let's do this." Star smiled. She then lunged herself into the fountain, with Bibbles gliding in after her.
Coff, Darth, and Vane stared in shock and confusion as they peered around the fountain. Suddenly, a minor earthquake erupted from the ground, causing the fountain to collapse underground. Deep under Star began to bend the earth and water, churning the two elements together.
"You gonna stand there and watch me churn?" Star asked. "Oh, that's alright. I like the way this works."
She then pulled herself up on Bibbles, grabbing Coff along the way. As they flew, the ground erupted and the muddy water blasted out and onto Vane and Darth.
"Ugh!" Coff winced. "That's a dirty mess…but what is the point?"
Star smiled. "Darth is an airbender and waterbender, correct? He can't bend earth, which is evenly spreaded into the water from the fountain."
Coff smiled and grabbed tightly onto Bibbles. "That's smart."
Bibbles swung down and Star grabbed Vane, who was nearly unconscious. As they flew into the sky, Coff and Star turned back to see Darth being swept back to his spiritual warriors.

Chronicle 2 Post 23: Clash of the Clans Part 7
Bibbles gently brushed his paws against the cobblestones of an alley and allowed Star to heave Vane off of his shoulders.
"Thank you Bibbles." Star sighed. She turned to look at the unconscious Vane. "Oh Vane.."
Star lifted her head and slid her coat beneath it and rested her body against Bibbles.
When she was about to let go of her body, she felt her chakra brush against Vane like invisible strings attached together.
She felt a strange twinge in her body, and she tried to pull away.
However, the strings grew tighter, and Star's hands began to glow brightly.
"What..." Star mumbled. She then felt a shock, like a hand grabbing her into her mind, separating reality from her thoughts. She saw an image of Clentheyus, her friends, her enemies, and then a sudden white light. At the end of what seemed to be a tunnel was Vane, standing with her hands folded and eyes closed.
"Vane!" Star called out. She ran towards her, but every step she took only led her farther and farther away from Vane. She surrendered to her sub-conscious and fell onto her knees, her sudden shameful feeling transformed into crystal tears.
"Vane..." a soft voice called out. "Vane...dear... wake up....wake up!"
Vane suddenly fluttered her eyes open and sat up. She looked around and noticed that she was in her little hut back in the Southern Water Tribe. Next to her was Grandmother Wenshun, tending a pot of stew on a small stove.
"Grandmother.." Vane mumbled. "What.. what am I doing here?"
Grandmother Wenshun folded her blanket up. "You tell me, dear."
Vane looked at the black pot and closed her eyes. "I've done some wrong things, Grandmother."
Grandmother Wenshun sat next to Vane and touched her cheek. "Now is that so?"
"Yes. I remember."
Vane opened her eyes and looked at her water pouch. "I've been a fool."
Grandmother Wenshun sighed. "Sweetheart, you have been fooled, not a fool. You wouldn't have known. You must trust your instincts, don't let judgement get into your way."
Vane buried her face in Grandmother Wenshun's coat. "I know."
When she unburied her face she saw the hut and her grandmother fading away.
"What... what's going on?" Vane mumbled.
Grandmother Wenshun smiled. "Remember to trust in your instincts, believe in yourself."
As the imagery around her faded away, she found herself riding on top of a spiritual dragon. The dragon revealed itself as Clentheyus, who was guiding her back from the Spiritual World. Vane smiled and thought what Wenshun said to her through the ride.
Princess Bonaka waved her staff in circles in the air, and looped it around the fallen Rosella and Charmed. The circle of water vapor hardened around them, bounding their arms and legs with ice.
"It's finally over." Miso said, rubbing his eyes from the wind.
"Not yet." Coff mumbled. "We still have one more problem lost in thought."
