Our traveling is mostly uneventful. I trained Suki in air bending after setting up camp and helped Aang grasp water bending. Suki was initially surprised when she saw Aang bending multiple elements but she was too far gone from my spirit bending to say anything about it.
Eventually we came upon our stop near the town where Haru lives. Not wanting to do any convoluted plot stuff I waited until everyone was asleep and snuck out. I wasted zero time and took out every fire nation soldier in the town.
After clearing them all out I went to the prison. I opened my assault by creating massive spikes of earth starting from the ocean floor that punctured the platform everywhere. Afterward I flooded the platform and froze the water before it could flow out. I did this a couple of times for good measure. I opened up the ice where prisoners were and lead them to one of the fire nation ships and made sure it was emptied of soldiers before sending them on their way.
The deaths of the fire nation troops stuck in the ice not weighing on my conscience at all. The following couple of days we arrive at a forest, or rather, what used to be a forest of burnt trees and ash. As it's already late in the evening we set up camp.
Sneaking out yet again I hit up the village that should be under attack by the panda who's name I refuse to remember, not out of malice, but more of gross indifference. Catching it's attention I use energy bending to nullify it's energy beam attack and then jump on it's head. Using energy bending I blast this panda's mind, forcing it's subservience. Once I'm done the panda takes it's normal form.
"Hey Greg. I entrust you to defend this village and it's people." Before the townsfolk can give me their gratitude I vanish, but not before catching site of the previously captured townsfolk coming back in a fit of confusion.
Arriving back at our camp I notice Katara pacing back and forth in front of my tent looking particularly haggard.
I wave at her "Yo sis, what's got you looking so... tired."
"sshhh" She pulls me aside and whispers into my ear, "Suki has lost it, she's in your tent right now, doing.... things, bad things with your stuff. She's also sniffing your undergarments."
"I knew something like this might happen." I nod.
"What?! You expected this, and you still left your stuff unguarded?" Katara whisper yells.
"I don't dislike her obsession, but I do agree that her method of dealing with her emotions is a little creepy. I'll just talk to her about it later."
"You're going to let it go?! But, like.... Your hair brush is practically, eugh," she gags, fighting the urge to vomit.
"Ignore it for now, I haven't used my hair brush since the air temple. There's something I'd like to talk with you about now that we have the time." I lead her further from the camp.
"What could be more important than... that" she motions to my tent.
"It's something about my powers. It's part of the reason she might be so obsessive over me. It's also related to a spirit I recently defeated in battle."
"What do you mean Sokka?"
"Suki isn't an air bender, at least, not naturally."
"I don't understand, if she's not an air bender then what has she been doing with us all this time, faking it?"
"No, she is bending air, it's just that she isn't supposed to be able to. You see, I gave her the ability to air bend. I did it with the same power I used to fight a spirit just a little bit before coming back to camp."
"Are you saying you can give people bending?!"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. However, it takes a lot out of me to do it."
"Can you... take people's bending too?" The horror of the question present on her face.
"In theory, that's besides the point. I want to ask you something. I hope you'll hear me out."
Katara sits in silence for a moment before smacking herself. "Okay, I think I'm ready to hear whatever else you're gonna say."
"I think I've got enough practice to give someone multiple elements, and I want you to be the first person I do it for."
Katara snacks her other cheek, "okay, this is real," she mutters nearly inaudible. "I... I..." Her face contorts as she stares at the ground.
I take her hand in mine and force tears to start building up in the corner of my eyes, "I just want to do whatever I can to ensure my precious little sisters safety. Please, even if you don't use the new bending abilities, it'll let me rest easier knowing I gave you another method to protect yourself."
Katara's face fills with determination, "okay, let's do it."
I start fiddling with her spirit, taking note of what water bending looks like in a soul and add in fire and earth bending. Before finishing off I dial up her love, affection, and attraction for me as high as I can manage, doing my best to feel around for jealousy and trying to get rid of as much as possible.
Finishing my job I fall to my knee, exhausted from my extensive modifications as Katara seems relatively okay. "So, how's it feel sis?"
"So, different..." She performs a few movements from her water bending forms but instead of moving water she shoots out fire. Switching to a generic fist fighting stance she behind punching at the air, after a few swings the earth begins responding in mind, little chunks of dirt about as big as a coin launch forward. "It feels, almost euphoric when I bend now. It's almost like when I... nevermind." She coughs with some red creeping up on her cheeks.
Katara rushed back to her tent. I decide to stay outside until Suki finishes doing her thing. As much as I'd love to rock her world, I'm thinking I'd rather wait until I fill my roster and make a big event of it.
Eventually Suki comes out of my tent, shortly before sunrise, I approach her, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind as I place my cheek against hers. "What's a beautiful woman like you doing in my tent."
Her cheek heats up as her head threatens to shoot out steam in embarrassment. "You're probably wondering if I knew what you were doing in there all night."
Her breathing halts.
"Don't worry, I do." I kiss her on the nape of her neck before heading into my tent to prepare for the day. Using water and air bending to ventilate and clean out the smells and mess left behind.
*She didn't honestly think I wouldn't notice this did she? She definitely wanted to be caught. Or she was probably too mad with lust and her mind went blank.*
I change clothes and use bending to clean and manage my hair. It's just so much faster. Coming outside I see that everyone is already ready to go.
The flight to our next camp ground was mostly silent and kinda awkward. Katara could barely peel her eyes off me and Suki was so ashamed she couldn't look me in the eye, but she did squirm from time to time when I would stare at her for a long time.
In spite of our awkward silence we do manage to reach our next stop, the first near where Jet operates. Following my normal M.O. I wait for everyone to be asleep or at least pretending to be. I locate Jet and his little group of child fighters. I follow the main group around until Smeller Bee isolates herself from the boys and use air bending to pull the air from her lungs and keep them empty until she loses consciousness.
Allowing her to breath again I bend her spirit, giving her the ability to bend air and fire. While I'm at it I insert some totally not forced love and attraction to me in there. Once I'm done I wake her up, "hey Bee. I don't have time to explain but you need to go as far west as possible, I'll catch up to you later when it's safe."
"Got it, don't take too long. Otherwise I'll have to come back and make sure you're safe." She grabs a bag and throws some clothes in it. Before running out she plants a kiss on my cheek.
"Ooh, I do like them more forward. She's such a cute tomboy too."
I wait a few minutes before I begin. My first objective being to try blood bending on a weak target. I locate a small child and begin waving my arms around ineffectually for about half an hour while struggling to also stay out of sight until I finally gain control of their body.
In celebration I use their own blood to twist their head around until the skin tears open and the head separates from the body. "Probably overkill, I'll just freeze their insides instead." Forgoing stealth I walk through their base using blood bending on anyone I see, making them impale each other, and when they aren't nearby another person I freeze their blood, causing their skin to tear in various places as the ice expands. Likely killing them instantly.
Eventually, Jet shows himself, which was his worst idea. The moment he was in sight I froze his blood. I left no survivors in my wake. On my way to catch up to Bee I swung by that village Jet wanted to destroy and eradicate all the fire nation soldiers by freezing their blood as well.
Once I catch up to Bee I sweep her off her feet. "Hey Bee, I've finished everything I gotta do. Let's head back to my camp and I can introduce you to my friends when they wake up."
"I can't wait to meet your friends. Knowing you they gotta be pretty amazing."
"Yes, they are." Arriving back at camp I lead Bee to my tent and let her have it for the night. Thinking I might as well decrease the level of confusion, or difficulties *I might pull an Unalaq but instead of the dark spirit I just use the one in the Avatar. Rava is so weak on it's own it won't be able to resist my manipulations, it can barely withstand a basic ass water whip.*
Not wasting a second more I approach the tent of the sleeping Aang. Going in I see the boy fast asleep, snoring with belly exposed. *He makes this so easy. With the world already thinking I'm the Avatar it's only fitting that I claim the actual position.*
I pull moisture from the air and freeze it around our tent, providing a potentially needed sound barrier. *All the people in camp are already under my manipulations so it's probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry.*
I place my hands on Aang's head and chest and begin the spiritual battle. I completely overtake Aang's spirit instantly, but Rava is putting up a fight. However, Rava rapidly grows weaker with the shattered state Aang's spirit is in. After a few minutes I manage to tap into the kite and dial up the love and attraction while also severing the connection to past Avatar's. Upon completion I fuse Rava with my own soul, leaving a limp, technically alive but vegetative Aang.
I use earth bending to crush and bury his body. Leaving nothing behind. "This part could've been avoided if that God allowed me to choose my body."
Leaving his tent I go to Katara's, I sit on the edge of her bed, startling her awake. "oh, it's just you," she sighs in relief. "You can't just scare me like that you meanie!"
Ignoring her uncharacteristic way of speaking I place a hand on her face, caressing her cheek. "I'm sorry sis, I just needed a place to lay down. Someone else is in my tent and they need some time alone. You don't mind if I sleep next to you do you?"
Katara chokes on her saliva, "I don't mind! It'll be like when we were little kids, holding each other for warmth while waiting for dad to come back with more fire wood."
"Thanks sis." I lay down next to her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "You're really comfortable, I think I might want to sleep like this every night."
She shuffles around pressing her back against me, "I think I'd like that too."
