Kinda wanna just do a kart-racing side story. Way back, I wrote The Great Galactic Race, and holy fuck was that badly executed. I can definitely do a better one and not even tie it to the main series. It'll be a game that Carol develops in the future.

Chapter 4: Destinies of Hope and Fear

GKND H.Q.

Sector MG returned to GKND and met with Vice-Leader Jerome. Upon their request, he led them to the Planetarium, which could project holographic maps of any galaxy. "I believe the Avatar Realms are located in the Nicklodia Galaxy." He brought up a map of said galaxy and zoomed in on a particular world. The planet's nations were color-coded: the North and South Poles were blue, Earth Kingdom was sandy-yellow, Fire Nation was red, and three certain archipelagos were white.

"We actually get to visit the world of the Avatar!" Wendy said eagerly.

"But if you go there, Wendy, Aang won't be the last airbender, anymore." Oliver mentioned.

"Technically, we heard that one of Aang's sons is an airbender." Jerome mentioned. "And I think his bison already was one, too."

"Do the Realms have a Kids Next Door?" Romeo asked.

"Well, yes. But they're not a part of the Kid Council, so we almost never commune with them. The Avatar Realms are considered a traditional world, and a highly sacred one at that. The laws around it aren't as strict as with Historia, but they greatly limit the amount of ships traveling to the planet. It's been protected by invaders for millenniums, both by the Galaxian government and by its guardian dragon."

"Guardian... dragon?" Wendy repeated.

"A Stratos Dragon, to be precise. It's a spacebending entity trained by God Palkia to guard worlds such as this."

"I don't remember anything like that from the Firstborn Quest!" Romeo stated. "Didn't Team Gnaa attack the Avatar Realms?"

"There must've been quite the handful of invaders. But because the White Lotus and affiliates are capable of leaving the world via Gummi Ships, this Stratos Dragon is a little more lenient than others. Although it's minimal, the inhabitants do occasionally involve their selves with other worlds. That being said, I'm certain it would allow your ship to enter the atmosphere. Since it looks like a traditional pirate ship; sort of, it can fit in decently well."

"Alright, that's good. So, where on the Avatar Realms would we find the Sun Warriors?"

"That part I couldn't tell you." Jerome hovered a cursor around the red continent, in which names popped up. "This chart only names major or known regions of a world, but it doesn't say anything about that. I would naturally assume they're somewhere in the Fire Nation."

"Victini, do you know where they live?" Wendy asked.

"(Beats me. Those islands look way too tiny from over here! If we can get in a little closer, it might jog my memory.)"

"I mean, the planet is bound to be different after 10,000 years, I doubt it will."

"Hey, while we're here," Romeo began, "another planet was supposed to be Xadia. Where's that at?"

"Xadia is actually in the same galaxy." Jerome zoomed out the map and clicked one that was close to the Realms. "From what we've researched, it's a sister planet that also studies the elements. However, travel rules are a bit more strict, and the Stratos Dragon is far less friendly. Only a few operatives have been to travel here, but the best we can gather is some basic history and geography."
