Chapter 12: The Outcome

Ozai remained on one knee, broken and defeated, but not humbled. Pride roared in his veins like wildfire, drowning out reason and mercy. He stared at the back of the boy who had humiliated him before the entire nation. The boy who walked away as if the duel was already done.

It wasn’t.

With a quick movement and a snarl on his lips, Ozai summoned a bolt of lightning. From his kneeling position, he hurled it straight at Tai Lung’s unguarded back.

The audience gasped in hor...

Chapter 11: Agni Kai

The news spread through the Fire Nation Capital like wildfire, just as Ozai intended. He made certain that every citizen, every noble, every soldier knew about the treacherous son of Admiral Lung, a mere child who dared strike the Crown Prince, insult the Fire Lord within his own council, and top it all by challenging him to an Agni Kai. The Fire Lord wanted this humiliation carved into the memory of the nation. Let them see the price of rebellion. Let them witness what happened when a boy re...

Chapter 10: Challenging The Fire Lord

Tai Lung remained seated in the cold cell, unmoving and silent. He had not uttered a word since his father's visit. The stillness around him was not one of defeat, but of patience, of a predator waiting for the right moment. Then came a soft shuffle of feet, followed by the unlocking of the cell door.

A second visitor stepped in. Prince Iroh.

His once vibrant face now wore the weight of years and sorrow. His hair, now completely gray, told a story of pain, and Tai Lung knew the ca...

Chapter 9: The Fire Lord Plot

With the end of the siege, it was expected that Admiral Lung would finally return home. But he didn’t. Instead, a surprising order was issued by the new Fire Lord Ozai, the admiral was to lead a campaign in the northern seas, hunting down pirates and Water Tribe barbarians. Many were stunned. Such a mission didn’t require an admiral, any competent commander could have handled it. Yet the order stood, and Admiral Lung remained away.

Tai Lung watched as the news reached his mother. He...

Chapter 8: An Ever Changing Circle Of Friends

A few days after his visit to the Fire Lord’s palace, Tai Lung received another visit from Zuko. This time, however, he wasn’t alone. With him were Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai. Zuko looked less than thrilled by the company, clearly having failed to talk Azula out of joining them. Azula, for her part, had insisted on coming along.

Tai Lung, already irritated by the disruption to his usual routine, now found the group even larger. But his annoyance was met with his mother’s elation. She ...

Chapter 7: Lighting And Azula

Tai’s life continued as it had always been calm, focused, and solitary. School filled his mornings, training consumed his afternoons, and when the sun dipped below the horizon, he read and studied firebending scrolls. The only foreign element in his otherwise disciplined life was the occasional presence of Prince Zuko. The young prince would visit from time to time to train with Tai Lung. Though Tai Lung found Zuko’s presence somewhat annoying, he tolerated it. There was something respect...

Chapter 6: The Prince And The Prodigy

Later that day, Iroh summoned Zuko and told him they were going to visit an old friend of his, an admiral of the Fire Nation, one of the best the Fire Nation military had.

Zuko’s eyes lit up. “Really? An admiral?”

He straightened his posture, trying to look more presentable, excitement filling his eyes. Soldiers and war heroes were figures he looked up to, and the chance to meet a high ranking hero who led their soldiers to victories was a rare opportunity to him.

The ...

Chapter 5: Beyond The Academy

The courtyard echoed with the rhythmic beat of fists striking the air, fire flickering in bursts with every motion. Tai Lung moved fluidly, each step measured, each breath controlled, his mind and body aligned in harmony. The sun cast long shadows across the ground, glinting off his sweat-drenched brow.

Then he sensed a presence calm, composed, and heavy with authority.

Tai Lung paused mid-strike, turning his head toward the entrance of the courtyard. A tall man in a dark red unif...

Chapter 4: A Cheater's Destiny

The courtyard was still that morning, the sun glinting faintly across the rows of wooden dummies scarred by fire. Tai Lung’s breaths came in heavy bursts, his body dripped with sweat, muscles trembling from the endless sequence of strikes, kicks, and firebending drills that Master Ronzu demanded of him.

And then, quite suddenly, his knees gave way.

his back hit the floor with a dull thud, chest heaving, vision spinning from sheer exhaustion. He looked up at Master Ronzu, whose c...

Chapter 3: Fire Bending

Tai Lung’s fists struck the air in practiced, deliberate patterns, precise and powerful, or as powerful as a child could manage, still it was far beyond what anyone his age should be capable of. His breathing was steady, his mind focused, his form near-flawless for someone with a body so small and undeveloped.

His mother watched from the veranda, arms folded beneath her sleeves, a conflicted expression on her face. It had been weeks now, months even, and Tai Lung rarely did anything b...

Chapter 2: Navigating A New World

Tai Lung had been reborn, somehow. He didn’t understand the how or why, only that he was now trapped in the fragile body of a helpless child. And not just helpless, also humiliating. The once-proud warrior who had challenged masters and stormed the Jade Palace now relied on soft-spoken strangers for food, warmth, and survival.

To make things worse, time crawled. He was growing way too slow.

He had been alive in this new form for over a year and still could barely take more than ...

Chapter 1: Embers of a Lost Warrior

Tai Lung sat in his small cage with a hollow spirit. The once-mighty warrior now felt his strength sapped, not by a worthy glorious battle, but by the foul trickery of the tiny chameleon he looked down upon. She had stolen his chi… and with it, his kung fu. Once, he stood proud, fierce, unmatched. Now, he could barely move his body.

When the fat panda had defeated him long ago, Tai Lung had hated it, but he had understood it. That fight had not been just a clash of skill. The fat pand...

Chapter 109: Happily Ever After

Years, like falling leaves, drifted swiftly by. The world changed, heroes passed, villains vanished but Ashborn remained. Watching the ever-growing branches of his legacy.

In time, he officially married both Kara and Galatea in a ceremony that defied convention and celebrated unity. It was a quiet affair by all standards, only those who truly mattered were invited. From Kara, he was blessed with a daughter. From Galatea, a son. The boy, bold and sharp-eyed like his mother, was named Rex...

Chapter 108: The New Girlfriend

When Ruby got word of Ashborn and Amazo’s return and the fact they weren’t alone, she wasted no time informing the rest of her team.

“They brought people with them,” she told the others as they gathered in the common room. “One of them is Ashborn’s daughter. And the others… well, I figured you’d want to see for yourselves.”

Naturally, curiosity got the better of them.

Team RWBY made their way to the meeting point, a quiet rooftop that overlooked the city’...

Chapter 107: Back To Remnant

Two months had passed since the war that shook the Earth to its core. Though scars remained, life moved forward. People returned to their routines, living the life while holding onto the memories of the fallen. Cities erected statues, engraved names, and held silent vigils. Among the many memorials, one stood quietly but prominently before the towering Shadow Corp building, an obsidian pillar made of unknown material with a single name etched in white ivory material: Rex. Ashborn had made sur...

Author’s Note: Here it is… the promised chapter. Fortunately, it’s nowhere as wild as the first one (Chapter 13). The idea of a three-way relationship wasn’t mine, but hey, it’s canon now. For those who were rooting for Kara, rejoice.

Chapter 105: Ashborn's Story

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long golden rays over the quiet park. Ace and Courtney stood beneath an old oak when Ace broke the silence. 

“So… why the park?” she asked, glancing around. “It’s kinda random.”

Courtney rubbed her arm nervously. “I wanted to check on you. After everything. But visiting your house?” She shook her head. “Not ideal.”

Ace gave her a knowing smirk. “You’re afraid of Dad, aren’t you?”

Courtney laughed, th...

Chapter 104: The War Aftermath

The war was over but its echoes refused to fade.

Though Ashborn had restored the Earth to its former state, reversing the material destruction with terrifying ease, the death toll remained untouched. Thousands… civilians, heroes, and even villains lay among the casualties. The city’s skies were no longer choked with smoke, but grief lingered in the air, heavy and thick.

Streets were  lined with hastily constructed memorials. Heroes and civilians worked side by side, light...

Ashborn took a slow, deliberate step forward. His towering, armored form loomed over Darkseid, whose battered body trembled from the unrelenting pressure of Ashborn’s presence. Then, without ceremony, Ashborn extended his hand and plunged it straight through Darkseid’s chest.

The impact was brutal and effortless, as if tearing through air...

Chapter 102: The Shadow Monarch

Darkseid clenched his jaw, blood dripping from a split lip, bones groaning beneath cracked skin as he looked around at the shadows of his army staring at him waiting to rip him apart. His godly essence quivered with rage, but not just at his injuries. At humiliation.

His army was gone. His world is being attacked. His forces turned to dust and now walked as shadows.

But it was this man, this thing before him, that broke his pride.

He locked eyes with Ashborn, standing among ...

Chapter 101: The Shadow Army

Silence fell upon the battlefield.

The maddened chaos that had raged across the ruined city ceased as though time itself held its breath. The wind whispered over shattered buildings and broken steel. Even the cries of pain and the mechanical whirring of Darkseid's war machines faded to nothing. All eyes turned to the trembling shadows. The shadow monsters and knights. The shadows of broken walls. The shadows of corpses. Of fallen titans. Of heroes and villains alike.

They all shoo...

Chapter 100: When Shadows Tremble

High above the burning city, the sky was torn apart by the violent clash between Galatea and Grail. The two warriors exchanged devastating blows, fists colliding with thunderous shockwaves. Galatea’s heat vision met Grail’s Omega Beams again and again, neither gaining a clear advantage. Bruises marred their skin, cuts stained their armor, but their resolve held firm.

But not all battles above were as balanced.

Farther off, Kara staggered, barely holding herself upright. Her bl...

Chapter 99: When Hope Crumbles

The sky above Metropolis burned with fire and smoke. The cries of the wounded and the clash of gods echoed through the torn city streets.

Toward the rear of the battlefield, where broken buildings and collapsed towers provided brief cover, Ace and Rex stood among a sea of shadow soldiers. The inky-black beings, loyal only to the Shadow Monarch, waited in eerie silence for their next command of their princess.

Rex clutched his shotgun tightly, knuckles white. His eyes were wide, no...

Chapter 98: The War On All Sides

Above the war-torn skyline of Metropolis, the sky was a canvas of fire and thunder. Supergirl soared through it, landing a devastating punch that sent a Parademon crashing into the concrete below.

But she didn’t have time to breathe.

A blur shot toward her from above, then bam!

A fist collided with her face, sending her spiraling through the air.

Supergirl steadied herself, floating midair, eyes narrowing at her attacker.

There, smirking arrogantly in the sky, ...

Chapter 97: The Beginning of the War

Inside one of the halls of the Watchtower, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. Galatea stood tall and composed at the center of the command room, her arms crossed as the most powerful beings on Earth observed her with caution. By her side stood Igris, his towering form and gleaming black armor radiating an eerie calm. The shadow knight's stillness was unnerving, even for veterans of countless battles.

Superman took a step forward and addressed the room. "They will be our allies in th...

Chapter 96: A Gate Opened In Fury

Summer Rose was carried gently to the infirmary, she was still in slumber. Ruby clung to her mother’s hand the entire way, refusing to let go even as the medical team moved in to check  on her. Yang hovered protectively nearby, her usual confidence replaced with silent hope.

Their friends, the rest of Team RWBY and JNPR, trailed behind, stunned into silence. The idea that Summer Rose, long thought dead, was not only alive but lying right before them was almost too much to process...

Chapter 95: Unexpected Miracle

The sun had begun to set, casting golden hues across the sky as evening rolled in. Laughter echoed from the school gates as Amazo and Penny returned from their trip to Vale, both of them clearly enjoying each other’s company. Their pace was relaxed, casual, Penny’s laughter light and melodic while Amazo wore a rare, amused smile.

Nearby, Team RWBY sat outside on one of the stone benches, casually watching the pair return. Blake raised an eyebrow and smirked. “I bet those two are a...

Chapter 94: The New Order

The aftermath of Ashborn's chaotic intervention rippled across the four kingdoms like a tidal wave. As soon as the broadcast ended, people poured out into the streets, eager to confirm the unbelievable. And there they were, the half-naked, bruised bodies of the White Fang members, dangling in humiliating disgrace. Scrolls were out in seconds. Photos, laughter, and mocking jeers spread through the crowd like wildfire.

Huntsmen and soldiers scrambled to restore order, trying to shoo away ...

Chapter 93: Disgraceful Night

The four kingdoms watched with anticipation, the events of last night still lingering in the back of their minds. But the thrill of the next match washed over the world like a wave. Tonight’s battle would be between two shining stars: the invincible girl, Pyrrha Nikos, and Atlas’s own Penny Polendina. It was a clash many had been waiting for, and the stadium trembled with the roar of the excited crowd.

The match opened with explosive energy, Pyrrha moved with grace and precision, he...
