450. Aang the Mighty

In one event Alexander had to intervene, it was when a blood bender tried to kill Aang and others. So he cast a worldwide spell that anyone using Bloodbending with wrong intentions would lose memories of bloodbending. Alexander considered this power even more dangerous than all the bending combined because safeguarding from it was impossible for others.

Other than this, a few years ago, his new closest and best friend, Iroh left his mortal body and ventured into the Spirit realm. Although he made a promise before. Alexander was sad after that for a while as he considered him as good of a friend as Dobby and Ragnarok. His hit podcast was a golden memory of the world, talked about in history books as the words of the wise spiritual master.

But currently, Alexander had come to the Southern Air temple in a hurry. There was an emergency.

Avatar Aang, only 65 years old, looked like he was more than a hundred years old. His muscles had withered and eyes had sunk in. He looked sicker than anyone.

This went against common sense that the more powerful the bender the longer they would live. After checking his body, he found the reason.

"*Sigh* Aang, because you were stuck in ice for a hundred years. It did damage to your body. It didn't appear all this time because you were in your prime. But now it has started to show up and fastened your aging. Too fast." Alexander told the grave news. All his children, Katara, Zuko, Toph, Sokka, and a few others gasped in horror.

Aang smiled from the bed and asked weakly, "Ah... Grandpa, h-how l...long do I have?"

"Not long. Maybe a month at most." Alexander answered.

Alexander looked at Aang's face intently. He missed the cheerful face of Aang. The fun-loving goofy boy who deserved all the happiness in the world but still couldn't have an easy life.

"Everyone except the immediate friends and family, out. Quick quick." He ordered.

Finally, when they were alone he proposed his option, "I may have a way to save you. I was not so sure about this when Kyoshi was alive. But since I consumed that comet, I have gained a higher understanding of what bending is and its deeper principle.

"I should be able to heal your body but it would make you nearly immortal. But this is risky too as the soul of Avatar will be stuck in you forever.

"So, to let the cycle continue and also have the next Avatar. I can try to separate your soul and other Avatars' residing in you. Then release their soul to occupy the body of the next Avatar."

"Am I right, Raava?" Alexander asked to thin air.

Suddenly a white mark appeared on Aang's torso. "Yes, Spirit God. It is possible but very hard. You will need to separate the Soul faster than the light. Or else Aang's original soul will be damaged."

Alexander nodded and looked at Aang, "So, what's it gonna be?"

Everyone looked at each other's faces.

"What are you thinking so much about? It's simple. If Grandpa helps he'll live and if he doesn't then Twinkle Toes dies in a month." Toph grumpily spoke. She was really getting old and it was showing in her attitude.

"Grandpa, how sure are you that you'll be successful?" Katara worriedly asked while holding Aang's thin hand.

"Haha, one hundred percent. I can stop and reverse time so chances of him dying are zero." Alexander said confidently.

"Then why the hell were you being so dramatic?" Sokka asked.

"Because I wanted you to take this very seriously. Matters like these shouldn't be taken lightly. Because it is me, I can save him. If it wasn't me then no one would've been able to save Aang." He said, making everyone go serious.

"Okay, step aside then." He shooed everyone.

He went to the side of Aang and activated his eyes. It shocked many that in all these years this was the first time they had seen this power of his.

He then started to take out the whole chunk of souls inside Aang. There were hundreds of souls. Not all Avatars lived full lives. Before the four nations were formed there were smaller warring states. Many Avatars died in them even before their teenage years.

The moment souls started coming out of Aang's body he had to quickly point out Aang's individual soul and leave it intact in his body. He was only supposed to take out the other ones.

The process wasn't long and he was successful. After he was done, a golden light shot up to the sky from Aang's body. It was the soul of the Avatar.

"How do you feel, Aang?" Alexander asked.

"I... Feel like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I feel light, in body, and breathing." Aang said with relative ease now.

"Haha, of course, you'd feel lighter. There were more than 625 souls in your body. All belonging to previous Avatars." Alexander revealed.

"This many?" It shocked Aang.

"Okay, don't move now. The procedure is still not complete. For this, I want everyone to go out except Katara." He ordered.

Once it was just three of them, he took out a peach-like fruit. "Eat this, child. This will heal you, make you stronger in ways unimaginable, and give you an extremely long life. Although you can still die if you decide to."

Aang took the Chakra fruit in his hand and sensed the power coming from it. He didn't think twice and ate it.

The next moment a bluish aura covered his body. In an instant, all his weakness disappeared and his body became normal. The muscles returned too.

The power that Aang now had was even greater than that of the Avatar. And this could be a problem if someday Aang decided not to be peaceful or something else happens that angered him.

So, he had modified all Chakra Fruits. It didn't give the third eye and it gives its eater a very calm and level headed mind. This way, Aang will always be a neutral man who doesn't care about anger. It did not control his mind but just gave him the ability to think better.

Still, he didn't know if Aang would be able to do all four bendings after this.

Aang got up from his bed quickly. He looked at himself in the mirror and exclaimed. "Woah, I look like I'm in my 30s again. This is amazing. I also feel so powerful."

"Yes, you are extremely powerful. Haha, people might start calling you Aang the mighty. Try to use other bendings now." He suggested.

Aang went on and tried but nothing came out.

"It's okay. Your work as the Avatar is over now and the new Avatar has already been born. Just a few seconds ago. Instead, Aang, you can learn all this with your new powers." Alexander said and gave him a booklet of beginner's ninjutsu.

Alexander then looked at Katara who looked much older than Aang. Age hadn't been kind to her. He simply reversed the time of her body to match Aang and made it so she would age slowly and with a good face. He couldn't let her be old while Aang stayed young.

"I hope now you will have a fun life together. No need to focus on the stupid world. You are above small conflicts and should only interfere if the world is threatened." Alexander reminded them.

Aang and Katara immediately hugged each other.

"HEYYY... ARE YOU DONE? I'M COMI..." Toph entered before even announcing.

"Woahh... How do they look so young? Some kind of fountain of youth?" She asked.

Soon everyone else joined in. Alexander laughed, "Haha, well, I might as well just make the whole team younger."

Hence, the Aang gang again reached their prime age and peak strength. All of them were now going to age slowly.

"No need to thank me. I just wanted you all to have fun now. You got black hair on your head again. Don't turn them white so soon now with all your stressful work." He joked.

"Haha, I can have more adventures now!" Sokka cheerfully exclaimed.

"You mean to have more affairs and receive death threats?" Toph scoffed.

"No, I won't let him do that now. He will settle down and have a family. Grandpa has given us a second chance." Katara firmly said, staring daggers at Sokka.

Zoko meanwhile looked at his own body and felt the power of being young again. Somehow this made him appreciate this even more now. As he had grown he had started getting many problems such as back pain, joint pain, and other things. Now they were all gone.

"Well, I will just try to stay fit," he said.

...

Somewhere in the Southern Water Tribe.

A cute little baby girl was born. Currently, she didn't look anything special but soon she would become the headache of her parents with her bending powers.
