Zutara Week 2: Crossover

Hey guys. This Monday starts a new Zutara Week, in which Several Avatar and Zutara fans write, draw or make any media involving their favorite Avatar couple. Here’s the first fic of the day.</i>
----------------------------
Crossover
-----------------------------

The Following fic takes place in a modern AU, so no one can bend...in a way. Also, so there’s no confusion, the characters here are in their 30s, possibly late 20s.

---------------------

The scene opens up to Katara, She is bound up and tried to one of the chairs. We don’t see much of where she is, only that it was dark and as lid with only a few candles. At that moment, another figure came into the light, it was Azula, only she was wearing all black and her face was very pale.

Azula: If I know him, he should be on his way soon. And if he values your life, he’ll have the contract with him.

Katara: Zuko will find me alright, but the only thing he’ll give you, Azula, is a one way ticket back to Hell.

Azula laughs at this, but her laugher sound a bit demonic at the end.

Azula: I seriously doubt that, my naive friend. And Azula no longer lives...

Suddenly her hair became longer, she grew at least twice her size and her eyes glowed a hellish red.

Azula: (demonic voice) There is only Blackheart.

Suddenly, the Doors of the room is blasted off by fire. The two look and they see what appears to be a flaming skeleton in leather and chains, riding an equally flaming motorcycle. The skeleton stopped just before he went any further and climbed off his bike.

Azula/Blackheart: Ah... So, the Ghost Rider is here at last.

She steps closer to the one called Ghost Rider.

Azula/Blackheart: Where is it?

He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a rolled up scroll, which surprisingly didn’t catch on fire as he was holding on to it.

Azula/Blackheart: Yes... The Contract of San Venganza, 1000 evil souls at my control. Give it to me!

Ghost Rider: You let Katara go first! Then the contract is yours.

Azula/Blackheart: I’ll release the girl when you give me the contract!

Ghost Rider: and I say you don’t get this until I’m sure she is safe!

Azula/Blackheart: ...Very well, then.

She uses her hellish magic to bring Katara closer to them.

Katara: No! Zuko, Don’t do it! There has to be another way!

Azula/Blackheart: I’m afraid there isn’t another way. If he expects to see you alive, he will give me the contract.

Ghost Rider: I want her released.

Azula/Blackheart: Are you forgetting that my Father OWNS your soul? So you not only listen to him, but to me as well!

Ghost Rider: That bastard might have my soul, but he doesn’t have my spirit, neither then you! Now LET HER GO!

The two stare at eachother for a few minutes until Azula/Blackheart waved her hands, releasing the binds holding Katara. Once he saw her get up, he throws the contract right at her and she catches it.

Azula/Blackheart: (laughs evilly) You fool! Don’t you realize what you have done? You have handed me the means of taking over my Father’s reign and bring Hell on earth.

At that moment, she unrolls the contract and begins reading it.

Azula/Blackheart: This is the Contract of San Venganza. All of you souls who are damned for eternity... Come to me! Make me strong! Make me...UNSTOPPABLE!

Suddenly the wind began to pick up and blow everything around. Katara had to shield her eyes from the dust picking up and the Ghost Rider’s flames were close to blowing out. In the sudden gale-force winds, we see several shadowy figures crawl from everywhere and make their way to Azula/Blackheart, they were the 1000 damned souls of the contract. Katara tries to make her way to Ghost Rider for cover but she couldn’t move in the wind. In fact, it was so strong, she started to get pulled into the air. The Ghost Rider sees this and uses his chain to get her. He throws the chain and it wraps itself around her torso, he pulls her in until he was finally to hold onto her tight. Soon, the winds started to die down as the last of the damned souls enters Azula/Blackheart’s body. Once the last soul was in place, the winds stopped completely, we see that her eyes are now a much darker shade of red, her skin is black and at the ends of her mouth were blood.

Azula/Blackheart: I... AM... ALL POWERFUL!!!

Ghost Rider: Yes you are, Blackheart. How does it feel to have all that evil in you?

Azula/Blackheart: (laughs) It feels great...Zuko. All their power...

Ghost Rider: Yes...and all their souls.

Azula/Blackheart: Yes, and all their-

She stops for a minute and realizes something.

Azula/Blackheart: ......... Souls...

Suddenly, she is wrapped up in his chain. The Ghost Rider pulls but she’s too strong.

Azula/Blackheart: No...You...TRICKED ME!

Giving up on pulling her, he uses the chain to instead pull himself towards her. He gets in close and knocks her down with him on top.

Ghost Rider: That I Did. You may have escaped my first try, but now you have...a thousand souls to burn!

Azula/Blackheart: No! NO!

She tries to look away but he grabs his face and stares into her eyes. They glow as he performs the strongest move a Ghost Rider has: The Penance Stare.

Ghost Rider: Look into my eyes...your souls are stained by the blood of the innocent.

Azula/Blackheart: No...

Ghost Rider: Yes... NOW FEEL THEIR PAIN!

After that, She started to scream in pain. It was a bloodcurdling scream, a scream that was in so much pain it was wising for death to come sooner. Katara was looking at the scene unfolding, seeing the Ghost Rider’s eyes beam into Azula/Blackheart’s, she had to turn away. Azula/Blackheart, however, wishes she could turn away from the pain, the fear and the death she was experiencing. She played right into his hand, he wanted her to have the contract. She knew that she had no soul to burn when he tried the stare before, but now with 1000 damned souls in her...she was as good as destroyed. When it was all over, all that was left of her eyes were two orbs of flaming ash. Knowing that she was dead, he got up from her and walked toward where Katara was.

Ghost Rider: Katara. It’s over.

She removed her hands from her face and sees that Azula/Blackheart was lying on the ground, obviously dead. She gets up from the ground and looks into the Ghost Rider’s eyeless sockets. She reaches out to him and touches his cheek with her hand. When that happened, the flames faded away and Zuko’s flesh and face returns, but he turn away from her gaze.

Zuko: I’m sorry, Katara. I should have never have involved you in this.

Katara: Don’t blame yourself Zuko. I was the one who got myself into this, you were only trying to protect me.

She takes her hand and pulls his face closer.

Katara: You were always trying to protect me.

She pulled him closer and the two began to kiss. Zuko pulled her closer and let the passion overwhelm him. Suddenly, the sound of one person clapping was heard. The two stopped and they notices a man in black clothing and a cane, it was the Devil, to Zuko he’s known as Mephisto. Zuko’s eyes narrowed as he came closer.

Mephisto: Well done, Zuko. Well done indeed.

Zuko: What do you want now?

Mephisto: Why my gift back, of course. You upheld your end of the bargain, you destroyed my daughter Blackheart. It’s time I take back the power of the Ghost Rider.

Zuko: What? That’s it?

Mephisto: Yep, that is it. Aren’t you happy? You can get your soul back, you can have your own life again. (gestures Katara) The love you’ve always wanted. Hell, you can start your own family. Let some other poor sap carry this curse, after all, there are other people out there, willing the sell their souls for what they desire. You can be a free man. What do you say? After all, a bargain is a bargain.

Zuko looks at Katara for a moment and sees the worried look in her eyes. Then he looks back at him and holds Katara protectively.

Zuko: Forget it, Mephisto. I’m not letting anyone else have this curse.

Mephisto: What?

Zuko: That’s right. As I told your daughter, you may have my soul, but you don’t have my spirit. I’m going to hold on to this power...and I’ll use it against you. From now on, whenever there is innocent blood spilt, it will be my uncle’s blood...and you’ll find me there. I will be the spirit of vengeance, fighting fire with fire.

Mephisto looked at him with surprise and as he talked, his look turned into an anger one.

Mephisto: You can’t do this.

Zuko: I can and I will.

Mephisto: I’ll make you pay for this treachery.

Zuko: I know...and I’ll be waiting.

With that, Mephisto slammed his cane down in the ground and disappears in flames, as did the body of Blackheart. The two were now alone and the sun was starting to rise.

Katara: It’s morning.

Zuko: Yes. A new day has arrived.

Katara moves closer and takes his hand into hers.

Katara: At least now, you don’t have to face it alone.

Zuko looks down to her and pulls her close for another passionate kiss. The words didn’t need to be said, they knew they were in love, ever since they were teens.

Zuko: Let’s go home.

Zuko gets on his motorcycle and Katara climbs behind him, grabbing onto his torso tightly. He starts the bike and the two drive off into the coming morning, facing the future together.

And that’s the end of the First day. OK, this theme was a LOT Harder then I though it would be. I was thinking of all sorts of other things to cross this over with, but it was when I saw the Ghost Rider movie today and it clicked. I hope you enjoyed this fic and make sure you read and review </i>
