Avatar: The War of Steel

Chapter 1 - Prologue

(A/N: Hello all, welcome to this brand-new story! I have been wanting to try writing this for a while which a person from our world gets sent to the world of ATLA to save it from the clutches of the Fire Nation equipped with a gamer ability of knowledge of the games, Cities: Skylines, War Thunder, World of Warships, and Hearts of Iron IV/or Battlefield V. I got inspiration by A210092's "Cities: Skylines in another world story" and from three Avatar: The Last Airbender x WW2 fanfics that I read from FanFanfiction.net, "New Allies," "Operation Eclipse," "The Rift: The Eagle, Rising Sun, and Sozin's Comet." Without further ado... enjoy reading! Feel free to leave comments!)

"Water..."

"Earth..."

"Fire..."

"Air..."

"Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I had believed Aang can save the world... or that is what we thought..."

"...Until the day that Aang faced the Fire Lord. Ever since the final battle between him and Fire Lord Ozai on the Day of Sozin's Comet, Aang had unfortunately lost to him, and is currently being held at Boiling Rock Prison, the most secure prison on all of Earthrealm, after more than two failed attempts at breaking him out and getting him away from the Fire Nation's grasp. It has been 3 years since our defeat, since then, Ozai, having called himself the "Phoenix King," had been crowned emperor of the newly formed Phoenix Empire of the Fire Nation, and nearly the entirety of the Earth Kingdom has now been occupied by Imperial forces, pushing the remnants of the kingdom and its forces to the southwest into its islands in the South Sea. With the rest of the nation into a puppet state with a puppet government out of the Earth Kingdom's remnant government."

"Myself, my brother Sokka, Toph, Zuko, former Fire Nation general Iroh, Suki, and Ty Lee and Mai who had previously defected from the Fire Nation and deserted Azula, and others, struggle to survive in an ever-shrinking spot when we fled to an isolated location on Qingwa Island. A land that has not yet been conquered, to hide. For the past year we had to stay in hiding in fear of getting in the sights of Imperials and struggled to survive as we tried looking for any food we could find, and sometimes we, ashamedly, had to resort to thievery and forced to being in disguise on occasions whenever we left the island to fight the Imperials to try to help as many people as we could, and try to take back what was lost. Oh, how much we have fallen..."

"With how things are going with the world, it's only matter of time until we are finally found and thrown into prison, or worse... Unless a new hero appeared to save our world and everyone living in it from the tyrannical grasp of the Phoenix Empire. And this is the story of that hero and nation, a hero with a great and strange power who is a leader of said powerful nation, that came from beyond the stars.

It is just an ordinary morning in the city of Dallas, USA. Except for one person. A man in his mid-twenties is briskly walking down a sidewalk on the streets of uptown from his apartment to his workplace. He was late and had overslept, for an introvert like him, he had been playing War Thunder all day after work and overnight until one o'clock in the morning. His black hair was a bit unkempt; his black coat suit was a little disheveled and had barely noticeable bags under his lapis-colored eyes. He hadn't had much time to get completely ready for the day, and only had 30 minutes to shower, get dressed, and eat a quick small breakfast. The man's name is Michael Freeman.
