《Forward In Time》Chapter Eight
Advertisement
After the discovery of the time travelers, Aang was bombarded by reporters. Korra quickly got him and the rest of the Gaang back to Air Temple Island and they explained everything that happened to Tenzin.
"I'm sorry for making our presence here know, but those kids were in danger. I couldn't stand around and do nothing." Aang said. They were currently standing in the dining room with Tenzin and Pema.
"It's not your fault." Tenzin reassured, "You were always helping people in need, I figured it was only a matter of time before something happened. Though Lin isn't going to be happy."
"Who's Lin?" Sokka asked
"Toph's daughter."
"Toph has a daughter?" Aang asked a little surprised
"And why is that something to be surprised about?" Toph asked crossing her arms.
"Uh... well... you just... don't seem like the motherly type?"
"Keep digging your hole Twinkletoes, it's only going to get deeper."
Suddenly, an intimidating woman barged in, "Tenzin! You want to tell my why my mother is apparently a time traveler now!?"
"You know, if had to take a guess, I'd say that's Toph's daughter." Sokka whispered to the Gaang.
"Nice to see you too, Lin. How are you today?" Tenzin asked calmly
"Cut the chit chat, Tenzin. What are they doing here?" Lin motioned to the Gaang.
"Allow me too explain." Sokka said then took a deep breath.
"No! Your version of explaining takes forever!" Katara said interrupting him then looked at Zuko.
Zuko sighed, "We were flying on Appa. We saw this big bright light appear in the sky. Aang got pulled in so we went after him." He explained unenthusiastically.
"And where did this bright light come from?" Lin asked
"We... don't know..." Aang replied
"We've only been here for two days." Toph added
"Well, because you kids got yourself caught, the President has been calling the Police Department." Lin said
"We're sorry, but people were in danger and we couldn't stand by and do nothing." Aang replied
Lin sighed, "Just stay out of trouble. I don't want to have to watch you twenty four seven."

"You have my Avatar promise." Aang said giving her a respectful bow.
"Now that that's settled.." Pema said, "Why don't you stay for lunch Lin, we would love to have you."
"You could get to know the original team Avatar as teenagers. Especially your mother." Tenzin said
"Yeah, Toph's a real delight." Sokka added with a sarcastic tone. Toph punched him hard in the arm and smirked when he made a sound of pain.
"We'd love to get to know you too." Katara said
Lin scanned the young faces of the people she had looked up to and sighed, "Fine... I'll stay for lunch..."
After Tenzin said a prayer, everyone around the table started eating the delicious food.
"So Lin... you work at the Police Department?" Katara asked.
"Yes. I'm the chief of police." Lin replied
"Kind of ironic Toph's daughter became the chief of police." Zuko said
"My mother was the chief of police..."
The Gaang looked at each other before busting out laughing, including Toph.
"What's so funny?" Lin asked
"Sorry... it's just... Toph having a daughter is believable, but her being chief of police..." Aang said in between laughs.
"Yeah... when we were hiding in the Fire Nation, her, me and Aang scammed a bunch of people out of their money." Sokka added
"She even said 'let's break some rules' one time." Katara said. Lin lightly smiled at the laughter of the Gaang.
"Hold up!" Bumi said, "Dad scammed people?"
"Hey, everyone thought I was dead." Aang said defensively, "I was also left alone with Sokka and Toph."
"I have been known to be a bad influence." Toph said with a smirk.
"What made you guys want to scam people?" Korra asked
"We were running out of money and Toph can use her Earthbending to scam scammers... so we scammed scammers." Aang replied
"And then Sparky Sparky Boom man appeared and tried to kill Aang." Sokka added
"His name's Combustion man." Zuko said but he had a small smile on his face.
"What else did you guys do in the Fire Nation?" Mako asked curiously.

"Katara posed as a spirit lady to help people in a lake village." Sokka said, "Oh! And Aang posed as a Fire Nation student at a school and then we threw a dance party in a cave."
"Yeah, and Sugar Queen and Twinkletoes had a really hot dance during that party." Toph said with a smirk making Aang and Katara's faces go red. Zuko covered up his small snicker by taking a drink of his water.
"It wasn't hot... it was... friendly..." Aang said nervously as curious eyes watched him.
"That's not what your heartbeats said." Toph replied as she took a drink of her water.
"Can we move on?" Katara asked
"Sounds like you guys had fun in the Fire Nation." Bolin said
"Oh yeah! There was this one time we went to see a play about us by the Ember Island Players-" Toph was interrupted by the rest of the Gaang groaning.
"That play was a total nightmare!" Zuko said, "They had my scar on the wrong eye!"
"How did you see a play?" Asami asked Toph, "You're blind."
"I just heard what was going on." Toph replied, "Like I was played by a big buff dude while Twinkletoes was played by a girl!"
"That play was kind of insulting. Though it was made in the Fire Nation after we attempted to invade them..." Sokka said
"Tell us that story!" Ikki said
"Well... it's kind of a long story..." Aang said
"Did we not write a book about our adventures?" Katara asked. The people around the table shook their heads.
"See, I suggested we do that but SOMEBODY thought it was a bad idea!" Sokka said and glared at Zuko.
"I said you writing it by yourself was a bad idea, not the whole thought in general!" Zuko said defensively.
"Okay, let's not start a fight." Aang said, "I don't want food to get thrown everywhere like last time."
"Hey! Toph started that last fight!" Sokka said
"I did not!" Toph defended
"Yeah you did! You were the first one to throw the food!"
"I only threw food because Sugar Queen said I was eating like an arctic hippo!"
"I did not say that!" Katara said, "I said you could rival an arctic hippo!"
"So you say that about me but not your boyfriend!?"
"Hey! Don't bring me into this!" Aang said
"Uh... should we do something?" Pema asked Tenzin as the teenagers argued.
"I don't know... I've never seen them argue before." Tenzin replied
"Is that going to be us one day?" Bolin asked
"Uh... most likely..." Mako replied
"...You always yell at me when I stop assassins by myself when you do it all the time!" Zuko said to Aang which confused everyone else, except the Gaang, on how the topic got changed.
"Because I'm the Avatar! I control all four elements! You only control fire!" Aang replied
"That's what you always say!"
"Don't make me call your grandfather!"
"You wouldn't!"
"We both know I would!"
"Hey! There will be no calling past Avatar's at the lunch table!" Katara said, "Especially one in the future!"
"Aw! But I wanted to see it!" Sokka whined
"Stop fighting!" Lin exclaimed, "You're giving me a headache! See this is why I don't want kids."
"Sorry..." The Gaang said at the same time.
"Okay... if we meditate and get into the Spirit World, we should be able to find a past Avatar to help us out." Aang said to Korra as they walked to the meditation pavilion.
"Sounds good! I'm really excited to be able to meditate with you." Korra said
"I'm excited to watch!" Bolin said as he walked up to them.
"Oh... sorry Bolin, we sort of need to do this alone." Korra said
"Oh right... well if you need anything, just ask. I'm always happy to help." Bolin smiled sheepishly before walking off.
Aang smiled, "Your boyfriend's nice." He said once Bolin was out of ear shot.
Korra blushed, "Boyfriend!? Oh no... Bolin's not my... he's-he's not my boyfriend."
"Oh? Really? Cause you guys always sit next to each other and stand next to each other." Aang replied a little surprised, "Well... you'd make a cute couple."
"You think so?" Korra asked curiously
"Yeah." He paused, "We should get started."

Shamrock Samurai
How many shotgun blasts does it take to kill a Banshee? Sean’s a martial arts enthusiast who just discovered his Luck magic. Will his new powers be enough to combat the slew of celtic monsters that cropped up to terrorize his city? He’ll unload a whole barrel of Luck on these paranormal pests, cruising in his ‘69 Fastback, slaying shades after dark. You’ll ride shotgun with Sean as he battles Banshees, clashes with Leprechauns, strives against Vampires, and defends his own against Celtic Demigods. There’s plenty of magic sword fights, shots fired, car chases, fisticuffs, and portal hopping while adventuring between the Bay Area and the mythical realm of Irish legend, Tir na nOg! ------------------------------------------------ I'm happy to offer this COMPLETE SAGA (6 arcs) here PERMAFREE (never in Kindle Unlimited). Imagine the intense action of JOHN WICK + the swords-n-guns slaying of DEVIL MAY CRY, and that had a baby with CELTIC MYTHOLOGY and some PORTAL HOPPING, add a pinch of INUYASHA's horrific monsters, a smattering of YUYU HAKUSHO angst, and that's Shamrock Samurai.*Contains portal hopping as a major element in each arc, but this story IS NOT Isekai (nothing against it personally. Want to make sure you know what you're getting into). Enjoy, and good luck ☘️! ------------------------------------------------ Readers say... “This series is kind of wild.”_David Simpson, author of the Zombie Road series. “Loved the plot twists and the action.” “I found the concept of magic/luck to be original and refreshing... PLENTY of action.” “Cool blend of geek culture and Gaelic mythology in a modern paranormal setting.” “Hang on till the end. There’s a wild twist I didn’t see coming.”
8 522A Mighty Conqueror
"I found out, the greatest ones. The best. The most prolific ones, were all momma's boys. Yea, afraid of their mother. Napoleon, Alexander, Genghis Khan." Mike Tyson on the Greatest Conquerors. Well, this is a cultivation story about a momma's boy. Will he conquer the known world? Maybe, just maybe. Atuel had heard many stories. All had said that the worst days were accompanied by rain, thunder, and dark clouds lead by powerful winds. Yet, he had found it to be the exact opposite in reality. On the brightest, most peaceful day, did his father disown him and throw his mother out of their home. It was on a sunny afternoon that he went from the honored son of the City Lord, to the untouchable son of the witch. Said witch was his mother, the kindest soul he had ever seen. Instead, it was the Saintess that had schemed for his mother's demise that was filled with a black heart, enchanting the people with a nice smile and kind words. All to take his mother's position as Head Wife. Now, he and his mother must struggle to live and rise from the ashes of their societal death. New and powerful must they be, or death will only meet them with extreme prejudice. I suck at synopsises... No harem. No spitting blood. And certainly no jade beauties... maybe a few jade beauties... Okay okay! There will be jade beauties! But no spitting blood! I will not negotiate!
8 178Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
