Once they touched ground, Izumi quickly got to her feet, as did everyone else. Of course, the large explosion drew attention. It would have been highly convenient if they could have somehow managed a silent explosion as part of the victory, but seeing as how Izumi was grateful just to be alive at the moment, … Continue reading
Gladion gripped the Master Ball, still warm in his hands from its capture. He’d mentally prepared himself for this moment as much as he could. But the fact remained that he’d always succeeded by hiding in the shadows, taking his opponents by surprise. They were certainly surprised now. But as for shadows, Gladion was out … Continue reading
Izumi had to admit, she hadn’t really expected the best idea offered in the war room to come from Bolin. In fact, when he’d started to talk, she’d been tempted to suggest leaving him behind. Now they were following his plan essentially to the letter. Of course, following Bolin’s plan also required letting herself, her … Continue reading

Zuko had a few theories about the limits of voidbending. He’d never had the chance to test any of them, but he supposed now was as a good time as any. His captors were strategic about their hostage-keeping, at any rate. He and Nanami were both kept bound onto the mast of a ship, which … Continue reading
Pierce could tell Fi was irritated. She had been the entire helicopter flight here. He credited the sleep deprivation. Well, that and their disguises. If one could indeed call them that. Judging from the number of puzzled stares they’d gotten so far strolling through Saffron City, his plan had backfired in a big way and … Continue reading
Fuse was still asleep on the same couch ten hours later. Izumi had not intended to walk up on her the exact moment she woke up, but it worked in her favor all the same. Her position had changed slightly; she had gone from lying on her stomach to lying on her back, and her … Continue reading
a/n: We’re back! First of all, I want to apologize for being away so long. Rowan and I have been hard at work on our original novel, and as much as we love fanfiction, we want to make every effort to further our writing careers, too. This next Mergers chapter is a bit on the … Continue reading
