Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

6 months later..."Your training is complete and you both may go out on your own from this day forward without the White Lotus following you or asking where you're going." Yona stated. "Alright!" Arcus smiled. "You both may take eel hounds to travel the world or take the Fire Train or Water Train. If you wish we will take good care of your Canyon Crawler and Polar Leopard Caribou while you're on your journey." "Sounds good to me." "Same." Soon the news on the TV was interrupted and a man in a midnight blue silk tailcoat suit with a top hat and a cane in his right hand and emerald green shaded glasses with a Van Dyke beard appeared.

He then says "My Fellow Republic City Citizens today marks a wondrous day. The Avatar Cycle has been broken but fear not for BlackVeil shall bring light to this gloomy day Long Live The True Avatar." "Whoever this mysterious person is they're after you two and we can't allow either of you to fall in his hands." "Look we're trained Avatars now and I am not spending another night here on Avatar Training Island." "You may be fully trained Avatars but you're not ready to take on an organization we know nothing about!" "Calm down both of you." Arcus interjected. They both looked at Arcus as Arcus continued. "Viona, Yona is right it's risky to be out traveling with BlackVeil running around hunting us." "See..." "However, Viona is right as well we haven't been training for the past 6 months to let it go to waste because you're not letting us grow up and explore the world. Life is too short to be hiding behind the White Lotus. Avatar Aang as well as Korra both grew as people because they had friends by their side to impact their decisions and their life. Now it's our time to do the same and spread our wings and fly."

Yona and Viona looked at each other and back at Arcus. "Arcus is right." That's when four figures in grey and black light metallic armor with white cloud patters on their shoulders and wielding guns busted in Yona's office and began to open fire. "GET DOWN!" Yona dived infront of the bullets and Airbended them back at their assailants. The bullets just bounced right off their armor. "Stand back!" Arcus tried to bend their armor but it has no effect. "Damn it, I think their armor is made of platinum." "I got it bro." Viona began to gather the water around them from the air. "Cover me it's going to take time."

The assailants shot a strange gas like canister at them. Yona quickly airbended both Arcus and Viona out the office doors. "Get to the roof and take the helicopter out of Republic City head for the Black Desert!" Yona fell to the ground and two of the assailants picked her up and carried her out onto a nearby boat While the other two followed after Arcus and Viona. Arcus turned around and sent a giant rock slab at the BlackVeil soldiers when they both ran up on the either side of the walls. "Damn they're persistent!" Viona turned and made a ring of fire stopping them from advancing. One of the BlackVeil soldiers got on their radio. "This is Mystic Squadron we failed to obtain the other two targets but we have the other target in custody." "Copy that Mystic Squadron return back to base for now." The BlackVeil soldiers vanished. Up on the roof... "Where to Avatars Arcus and Viona!?" "THE BLACK DESERT!" "COPY THAT!" Arcus and Viona hopped in the helicopter and the pilot took off. "So what do we do now?" "We just play it by ear and try to fight BlackVeil." Six hours later... "We're approaching the Black Desert. Wake up."

Arcus and Viona woke up and the helicopter landed. Arcus and Viona got off the helicopter and began walking to a nearby tavern as they walked through the doors all the patrons turned their heads to see them. Arcus stayed behind watching the door and his sister as she walked up to the bartender.

"So what's the skinny on the Black Desert?" "We call it the Black Desert because there's a legend of a firebender who uses black flames no one knows who they are. But they are very powerful and beware for they have a pet sand shark." "Thanks for the info." "So where are we headed?" "Outskirts of the Black Desert there's something I want to check out." "Fine with me." They both began to head out the tavern when a water tribe girl stopped them.

Arcus looked down at her and his eyes dilated as did hers she began to blush and twiddle her thumbs. "Um hi, sorry interrupt but I couldn't help but over here your conversation and I wanted to join you on your journey." "Sorry it's to dangerous and especially because you're too young." Viona replied back. "I'm not young i am 16 years old I'm just extremely short for my age with a baby face!" the water tribe girl exclaimed. "Viona it could be beneficial to us if we have someone else with us." "For what reason exactly?" "Well I'm a water bending prodigy from the South Pole and I have a strong affinity to the spirits and I can spirit bend." "Hmm I see."

"I vote she joins us as the first member of Team Twin Avatar." "I second that!" chimed in the plucky water tribe girl. "Ugh! Fine she can come but if she gets on my nerves once shes on her own." Arcus smiled. "So what's your name anyway?" Viona asked. "Finna." Arcus, Viona, and Finna began to walk into the Black Desert. Five hours later... "Oh my Avatar it's so fucking hot out here. Is there nothing to drink?" groaned Viona. Arcus just looked at his sister as they pressed forward until they felt a rumbling beneath their feet. "Shit, it's a sand shark. EVERYBODY MOVE OUT OF HERE LET'S GO IT'S A SAND SHARK!" exclaimed Arcus as they all began to run to a nearby cave.
