Hidden Library

Some time had past since we had stumbled upon Azula and her crew. This would be my last day in the Avatar world as i would have completed my search for elemental knowledge. We decided that after Aang had learned the basics of earthbending, we go on some mini vacations. We had just gotten to the "pristine" Misty Palms Oasis that Aang told us about.

The atmoaphere inside were depressing and the place looked really unorganized. We went Inside a bar where people of many kinds met. Although the people inside look tardy and the sandbenders outside were disgusting. We met upon a energic and enthusiastic professor. We stumbled upon him when Aang walked into him and spilled his drink. Once he saw Aang was an air nomad he began to ask questions in speedfaster than lightning.

Sokka got us back on our agenda by asking if we could see his newer map as our was outdated. Once Sokka rolled out his map he got dissapointed because he couldn't get a good map on the fire nation. When Katara looked over the map she noticed that it had tracks marked into the desert.

She pointed out that he had done many trips into the desert. He then told us about his search for the Wan Shi Tong library which he couldn't seem to find. he enthusiasticly described it to us and its myth.

Sokka then asked -If it contains that much knowledge do you think it has some intel on the fire nation or a map even?- -I don't know, but if it exists most likely you'll find it here.- the professor answered. Sokka then turned to Aang and said matter of factly - Aang i believe it's my turn to decide our mini vacation spot. I would like to spend my vacation at the library.-

The professor then told us -There is a problem. We have to find it first. Then we would have to cross the desert. I've tried many times and each trip almost proved fatal. I don't think it's possible to cross the Siwong desert.- I then told him about the 3 tonn flying beast we had outside.

We went outside to the sight of sandbenders trying to capture Appa. The professor told them to get lost and they reluctantly left.

Soon after we were sky high above the desert. Th professor amazed by the view and the flying bison crawled on top of it's head and talked to him while he caressed it.

After some hours looking for the library. Toph annoyed with the long search sighed and said -Does this library even exist?- The professor with the same enthusiasm before answered -Some say it doesn't.-

After a few minutes i saw a spire in the desert and suggested we looked there. The spire matched the one on top of the picture. When it dawned upon him that his life destination was buried by tons and tons of sand he went depressed for awhile before he took out a small shovel and began to dig.

I didn't want to waste any time so i told him -Back off and let me handle it.- I did a range of movements then i pushed my hands down. This removed all sand in the vicinity making a crater. Then i heated up the sand at the edge of the crater making it into glass so it wouldn't fall back down and fill the crater.

Then we saw the whole library standing up in all it's glory. When the proffesor came back to his senses he quickly dashed towards me, gave me hug and said - Thank you, thank you good sir i would never have gotten the opportunity to enter the library if it wasn't for you.- Feeling my personal space get violated by another man i just put my hand on his forehead and gently pushed him back while dismissivly saying - Ok, Ok are you done. It wasn't that much to do.- He looked flabbergasted for a bit after seeing my reaction then just returned back to his life's ambition. We went to the gate but it was closed, and a gate shut for hundreds of years isn't that easy to open. I put one hand on the gate then i pushed the gates fully opened and air rushed inside.Aang turned towards Appa and said -It's ok buddy you ciuld stay up here i would never want you to go trough that again.-He looked at toph and asked if she were coming -Toph said she'd rather stay up here with Appa.-

We walked inside and in the center there was a crossroad where four pathways met.

We stood in bewilderment of the amount of books we could see. I then saw the shadow of i giant owl who i knew to be Wan Shi Tong the knowledge spirit. Aang signed for us to quickly hide before we were discovered. Whe hid behind two pillars at the end of the pillars. Aang who hid with the proffessor was surprised when the proffessor went out of hiding and then announced to the owl that he was the head of anthropology at the university of Ba Sing Se. The owl then passive aggressivly told him -You should leave the way you came. Unless you want to become a stuffed head of anthropology.- We others went in front and backed him up. Sokka asked the owl in a curious manner - Are you the spirit who brought this library to the physical world?- The giant owl shifted his gaze to each and everyone of us and said - I am Wan Shi Tong he who knows ten thousand things. And you guys are obviously humans which by the way are not welcomed in my library.- Aang perplexed by his answer asked - What do you have against humans?- He smugly answered -Because humans only bother to learn things to gain power over other humans. Just like that firebender who came here years ago looking for the weaknesses of his enemies. So who are you trying to destroy?!- Just after i finished talking he dove into Sokka's personal space to intimidate him. Sokka a bit uncimfortable answered -What? No n..n.nn.no destroying. we're not into that kind of stuff.- -Then why are you here?- Sokka unsure of his anwer and uncomfortable by his prescense said -Knowledge for knowledges sake.-

-If you're going to lie to an all knowing spirit you got atleast put more effort into it.- -I'm not lying. I'm here with the Avatar he'll vouch for me.- Sokka pulled Aang in front of the owl and nudged him with his elbow. -Uhh, Yeah i'll vouch. We won't misuse the knowledge found in your library. You have my word!- He told the spirit then bowed.

Wan Shi Tong satisfied by his answer told us -Very well, I'll let you peruse my collection, on one condition! You have to add a some knowledge into the library.-

The professor went first and gave him a book from the university, Katara gave her waterbending scroll and Aang a wanted poster of himself. Before Sokka could make a fool of himself i went in front of him and pulled a scripture out of my pocket. -This is the story of Avatar Wan. The first ever Avatar. I believe this is enough to pass both me and Sokka, right?- -Very well since this the origin of the Avatar i will let you two pass as well. Enjoy the Library.- The owl then jumped from the crossroad and flew in a spiral down to an everlasting seeming abyss.

Immidietly after i told the other that i would go to the martial arts department of the library. They just nodded then i left. I walked between the many bookshelves until i came to a place were it stood martial arts. I have always been curious to how Ty Lee and other chi blockers could manage to diarupt the chi flow inside benders. The martial arts here seemed extremely strong for this world to let normal humans compete against benders in fights. I sat down and came across a scripture that said Paralyzing palms. The scripture was made of a very thin paper it made a crisp sound as i dragged my finger along the signs. The art style was ancient and the drawings depicted very complex motions that almost seemed like the Hyuuga style from Naruto but in this scripture along with the pictures had some text on the side. The text described the fighting style, it stood in fine letters. " The Paralyzing Palms fight style is used to disable or disturb the bodies 3 systems in the body.

The 1st and easiest stage is the energy system to disable it by acupuncture precise strikes along the energy system. By hitting nodes on the system you would effectivly be able to shut down the others ability to use that energy.

The 2nd stage eill make you able to shut down the Nervous system. By hitting the synapses on the nerves you would be able to shut down movement or trigger a movement from that nerve. In the worst cases cause permament paralyzation.

The 3rd Stage. You would be able to hit the blood stream with precise, quick hits. If you atack the veins of the opponent you would be able to hinder the blood to flow back. Thereby creating pressure in that part of the body, making the blood pressure so high that it explodes that body part. If you hit the arteries you would hinder blood to flow to that part of the making it shrink inwards in the end killing every cell in that body part."

This is identical to the fighting style of Ty Lee, however the members of Team Avatar were lucky that she only found a part of the scripture and not the rest. Especially the 3rd part, that kind of power shouldn't be in the hands of anyone in this world.

Well this looks like it could be extremly beneficial to me even in the Naruto world where this fighting style doesn't even exist. After no thought given i carefully rolled it and pulled it into my pocket. By the time i was done the whole library started shaking. Sand pured down trough the gaps cracks in the walls. I ran across the whole library and back to the center of the crossroad. There i saw Katara running for her life with Momo and her shoulder followed hot on their tail by a giant owl. I ran across the bridge then punched the owl with enough power to knock him out, he flew across the library and got embeded into one of the shelves. She breathed relieved out when she saw the owl wasnt a threat anymore. We then saw Aang and Sokka fly towards us on his glider. They landed right beside us and Aang shouted at us to leave. I told them that the gate would be closed by the sand as the library have sunken. Katara then asked me -Is there another way to get out.- -Yes, there is a opening at the spire on top of the library.- They got themselves ready to fly, but then looked at me as i remained on the same spot. -Sifan aren't you coming with us -Katara asked worried with a shaking voice.- I turned my back towards thrm and said - No, you won't reach the escape hole in time someone has to delay the sinking of the library and it has to be me.- Katara and looked at my back with tears in their eyes. I then said -Sokka you're the man of the group now, i expect you to take care of the others.-

After i was done i started to earth bend to a level i hadn't done before. I pulled pillars out of the ground and strted to strengthen the fundament. Meanwhile the others started to fly away and just when they got out i relaxed and sat down in the center.

I thought System open the portal back to Naruto world. Just after a blu ring appeared in front of me i stood up and walked with steady steps into the portal then everything went black.
