Renegades ATLA AU for Nobell Week 2020
I know I’m probably not the only one who decided to do an ATLA AU, but I thought I had some interesting ideas. If I had any writing skills, I’d make it a fic, but I don’t so here’s all I got:
Nova is the Avatar. She’s from the fire nation. Her parents didn’t tell anyone she was the Avatar but Ace found out and he killed her parents and Evie so he could get his hands on Nova
Ace is the Firelord. The anarchists are all firebenders, except Leroy who is a nonbender. Phobia is Ace’s advisor. They all think Nova is just a normal firebender but Leroy and Winston suspect that she’s special.
Hugh is the King of the Earth Kingdom and a powerful bender. His husband, Simon, is a waterbender. They adopted Adrian, the air bender, when his mother, their close friend, died (like in the acc series). He is now the Earth Kingdom’s Prince.
Max is a waterbender and he can bloodbend and take ppl’s powers away (like in LoK)
Danna, Ruby and Oscar are the Earth Prince’s personal guard. Danna and Oscar are earthbenders and Ruby is a waterbender. Oscar can control Magma like Bolin.
Ace wants to take the Earth Kingdom down from the inside, so he sends Nova, disguised as a nonbender, to become another one of the prince’s personal guard and learn all their secrets.
Frostbitch (i refuse to call her anything else), is a daughter of a noble man and says something like, “a nonbender can’t defend the prince!”
Then she defeats Gargoyle like the badass that she is and is accepted into the guard.
Danna is suspicious of Nova because she’s Danna and she’s suspicious of everything.
Adrian, tired of being a overprotected prince, sneaks out under the guise of the Sentinel and saves random ppl in the Earth Kingdom.
Except he never had that much training (cuz he’s like the only airbender in the city) and he ends up hurting a lot of ppl
His dads declare the Sentinel to be a criminal and tell the Eath Kingdom citizens to bring him in
But this is about Nobell ;)
Danna follows Nova one day and finds out that a bunch of firebenders have been hiding in the Earth Kingdom (Ace and Phobia aren’t with them cuz they need to be in the Fire Nation)
Nova finds out that Danna was following her and puts her in a metal cage.
The rest of the team is worried about where Danna went and Adrian orders a search for her. They don’t find her and assume she was taken by the Fire Nation.
Nova visits Danna in her cage every day. At first, Danna refuses to talk to her, but eventually she lets down her walls and her and Nova talk.
Nova comes to the cage at the same time every day to give her food and talk to her.
One day, Danna was waiting for Nova to arrive at their usual time. But she doesn’t show up. Instead, Ingrid comes and tells Danna that Nova will not be giving her food anymore and instead Honey or Ingrid will be coming to give her food.
The days after that are much worse. Danna had no company and had to suffer cruel insults everytime Ingrid or Honey came to give her food. They would drop the food on the ground carelessly, half of it falling out of the bowl as it clanked loudly against the ground. Sometimes, they would shoot little fire balls at her in attempt to burn her. Danna was weak and often was not able to dodge the fire, making Honey and Ingrid laugh and laugh and laugh.
One day, instead of Honey or Ingrid, Leroy comes to give her food. He is gentle and nice. He tells her that Nova is worried about her. He talks a bit, about the four nations and the war. He tells her about how all the elements are connected and she is surprised that a nonbender could have such a deep understanding of the elements.
The next day, Honey comes to give her food and says something along the lines of, “You will never get out of here, little girl. You hold out hope that your team will save you or that your bending will get you out of here. But even the best earthbender in the world could bend metal.”
When Honey leaves, her words ring in Danna’s ears. She remembers the words Leroy said. She focuses on the metal cage and becomes the first person to ever bend metal.
She gets to the palace and tells everyone about Nova, but Nova has already left for the Fire Nation to tell her Uncle their secrets
Cue the final battle scene
It is finally revealed that Nova is the avatar and Adrian is the Sentinel
Nova begins to contemplate fighting for her uncle and Honey captures Danna.
Nova frees Danna and decides her uncle is a bad dude. Honey dies. (good riddance)
“I couldn’t let anything happen to you. You...”
“You matter too much to me!”
Big dramatic kiss (im sorry i cant write confessions)
They defeat Ace with the power of sapphicness and Nova is the only heir
Except, wait, what’s that? It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s Maggie, the long lost sister of Nova Artino.
Maggie was found abandoned and was raised in an earth kingdom orphanage. She’s a fire bender and is a friend of Max’s, which is why she knows Adrian and the rest of the guard and stuff.
Nova and Maggie go to the Fire Nation and Nova becomes the new Fire lord. Danna goes with her.
They all remain friends, of course, and see each other all the time. Nova is a kind and just leader and eventually, Danna becomes her queen.
