An: This is the first chapter that I had ever written using a pc instead of a phone tell me what you think.
Enjoy.

Seeing the name of his new sub-ability Levi was confused for a second, did he really need an ability for that? Couldn’t he just steal things just fine on his own, in the end he decided to just check it out.
[Theft (Active) - Level 1: The ability to steal anything, the ability is restricted by the user’s level and its own level]
That was all Levi saw in the description, a simple and straightforward description, it didn’t provide much information aside from that.
Looking at the three people beside him who were conversing Levi decided to try it out.
Like all his other skills and abilities Levi had an instinctual feeling on how to use it, reaching his hand out towards Sokka Levi aimed at the boomerang strapped to his waist and activated his ability.
Thankfully none of them were looking at him as the boomerang disappeared from Sokka’s waist and appeared in his hand making Levi gap at this ability.
It reminded him of the ability of a certain character from an anime he had watched in his previous life making his face go dark, he didn’t want to be associated with a character like that no matter what, ‘Damn you Kazuma’ he thought before deciding to try something else.
He had the feeling that this ability was more than it seemed so he wanted to test it out, this time he pointed at Aang before he used it, his target this time was Aang’s earthbending!
Sadly for him he was bound to be disappointed.

[Thieving in progress]
[Thieving failed]
[Ability level insufficient]
[User’s level insufficient]
Seeing the notifications pointing out that he had failed, instead of feeling disappointed Levi was elated instead! Even though he had failed in stealing Aang’s earthbending he could barely contain his happiness.
As for the reason for that? It didn’t say it wasn’t possible, instead it said that his levels were insufficient, which meant that if the levels were up to par he could steal bending powers, and not only that maybe he could steal other types of powers. As for the levels, that was something that could easily be with time and practice.
‘But is that the limit?’ Levi couldn’t help but wonder, he had the feeling that he had barely scratched the surface.
Aiming at a distant rock Levi decided to try another idea, this time he didn’t plan to steal the rock directly instead his target was something else, it was the distance between him and the rock, it was more of a concept than a physical thing.
The end result would still be the same with the rock appearing in his hand, but the method of execution was like the difference between heaven and earth.
And just like last time.

Levi was stunned for a second before he burst out laughing making the others look at him weirdly, even Appa and Momo were the same, and even Acnologia was confused.
“Uhh, brother are you alright?” asked Katara with a tone of worry in her voice, she was afraid that Levi may have hit his head during the fight and suffered some brain damage.
“Haha I Am ok sister, I am better than ok.” said Levi between laughs as he threw Sokka's boomerang back.
“Hey! My boomerang, when did you take it?” said Sokka indignantly but Levi didn’t reply.
‘Why wouldn’t I be ok when I had just hit the jackpot.’ thought Levi ignoring everything else.
He had finally figured out what the thrift ability was. It didn’t just steal physical objects and powers, it applied to concepts as well and that is what makes it broken.
If the levels were sufficient then he could steal space between him and his objective to either bring him to it or teleport, he could steal the faith and identity of someone making everyone else think that he is that person and so much more, the applications were endless.
If the theft ability reminded him of Kazuma previously then now it reminded him more of Amon from Lord of Mysteries.
“Levi?” Katara’s worried voice came, interrupting his thoughts.
He snapped back to reality at her voice before speaking, “I am alright sister, really, in fact you should be more worried about your new boyfriend over there.” said Levi pointing towards Aang making both Aang and Katara turn red in the face, especially Aang.
“LEVIII, HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I TELL YOU HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND” screamed Katara at the top of her lungs with her fists clenched beside her.
“Alright, chill I was just kidding” said Levi holding his hands up, he could swear he felt the water in the atmosphere vibrate at Katara’s outburst.
He wasn’t surprised though, he knew the monstrous potential of his sister more than anyone else, she was someone who became a master water bender in just a year, a feat nobody had ever managed to do before, besides the avatar and himself.
“So where to now,” asked Sokka.
Hearing him Aang’s face lit up, “I know a place” he said in an enthusiastic tone before his mood went down again, “ But first I want to bury monk Gyatso”
“Well what are we waiting for, let's get down to it” said Levi as he got up, and threw the rest of the apple to Appa who swallowed it whole without even chewing it.
Momo, who was standing on top of Appa’s head looked at him with an expectant gaze making Levi sigh as he reached into his pants pocket and retrieved an apple out of his inventory throwing it towards Momo.
Just then he saw the other three looking at him the same way Momo was, “Piss off, you think I have an infinite space in my pocket where I keep apples?” shouted Levi, making their expressions turn awkward.
Levi did indeed have hundreds of apples in his inventory, but he wouldn’t be able to explain where he was keeping it if he just gave everyone an apple.
Levi could also feel Acnologia’s dissatisfaction making him shake his head in amusement, it seemed his scaly friend was jealous of Appa and Momo.
***
The group of four had just finished burning monk Gyzatso along with any other Airbender bodies they could find, after paying their respects they rode on top of Appa with Aang taking the reins, he refused to tell them where he was taking them.
Levi as usual was sleeping with his hands behind his head but unlike previously this time he had a lot on his head, first of all he was thinking of ways to level up his theft skill as stealing nearby random objects along with Aang and his siblings' possessions didn’t seem to do anything.
‘I guess I have to use it in a battle or against an enemy’ thought Levi, combat was still the best way to level up any ability or skill and theft was no different.
Secondly, while not as important as the theft ability Levi wanted to also try practicing his air bending. Sadly for him he couldn’t think of any way to do that right now.
Aang who was ‘driving’ suddenly turned towards him with a hesitant look on his face, he seemed to be struggling before he finally spoke, “So Levi.” he called, getting Levi’s attention who opened his eyes and looked at him.
“Mind I ask, how are you so strong,” asked Aang, even though he wasn’t in control while he was in the avatar state he still remembered a lot of stuff, and the more he thought about it the more absurd it seemed.
It didn’t make any sense to him, he was the avatar, the strongest person in the world, but Levi defeated him while seemingly still holding back, of course Aang knew that was impossible, it probably took everything in Levi to defeat him, he didn’t even dare imagine him holding back.
“Hmmm, I don’t know myself, I guess I am just built different.” said Levi making Sokka burst out laughing while Katara shook her head, they were used to his antics by now.
“Built different?” Aang asked, confused.
“Ignore him Aang, he's just messing with you.” Said Katara, but when she really thought about it Levi had always been ahead of his peers as long as she remembered, no matter what he did he always excelled at, ‘Unlike me.’ she thought.
Levi was about to tease Katara again seeing her jump in defence of Aang but he decided against it, he was perceptive of people and he noticed Katara’s mood change in an instant, he also put together what had caused it.
‘It seems I’ll have to give my little sister some private lessons later on.’ thought Levi, it was about time he started teaching Katara water bending seriously.
He had taught her a lot before but she never seemed to get it, but from what he had seen in the show he had a feeling things were about to change, it was about this time that Katara’s talents started to flourish

It took a while but soon Appa was flying above a relatively big island, along the way Levi had spotted multiple Fire Nation ships and they had spotted them back as well, likely reporting their whereabouts to Zuko and the Fire Nation but Levi wasn’t too worried, it wasn't that easy to keep track of Appa and catch up to him and even if they could he’ll handle them.
“We’re here” said Aang in excitement before landing Appa on the shore of the island.
‘Hey, did you feel that,’ Acnologia's voice reached Levi as he replied in affirmation.
While his siblings and Aang were unaware he and Acnologia had felt a presence in the sea below them, it wouldn’t pose a threat to either Levi or Acnologia, and even Aang could handle it if he were serious, but to the average traveller and bender it was a nightmare.
Before anybody could react Aang was stripping in front of them leaving him only in a pair of underwear.
“Uhh! Aang? What are you doing?” asked Katara.
Before Aang could reply giant fish started jumping out of the water in the distance almost scaring the two siblings to death, “That’s why we're here.” said Aang as he pointed at the giant fishes, “These are elephant Koy and I am going to ride them.” he said as he jumped into the ocean and started swimming towards them.
Meanwhile Levi felt the presence of about a dozen people approaching, but he didn’t warn them, he knew who they were, the Kyoshi warriors, they weren’t in any danger plus something told him the Kyoshi warriors were in for a big surprise, things wouldn't turn out like in the show.
Everything else unfolded like in the show with Aang riding the giant Koy fish and trying to impress Katara to him being attacked by the giant Unagi and running towards the shore with his tail between his legs.
“What was that thing?” asked Katara.
“I don’t know.” replied Aang as he wore his clothes Levi noticed he was still shaking a little.
“Well let’s not stick around to find out, let's hit the roa…” said Sokka before he stopped mid-sentence and dodged to the side as he held up his boomerang.
A female in green clothes dropped at the place he was standing just a second ago, her eyes revealing her shock, she was confident in her skills and she was sure they had been stealthy, the guy with the ponytail shouldn’t have been able to dodge but reality proved otherwise.
Before long other females wearing the same outfit either dropped from the trees above or got out from the bushes surrounding them and engaged the group.
Sokka engaged the female that had tried to ambush him in close-quarter combat using his boomerang as a weapon while she used her fan, they were evenly matched.
Three female warriors ganged up on Katara quickly taking her down and tying her up while another three ganged up on Aang and were soon followed by the three who had just taken down Katara, they also took down Aang after a while.
Levi could tell at a glance that Aang went down willingly, it seemed he didn’t want to hurt them, ‘Ha-ah, I hate his pacifist mindset.’ thought Levi as he focussed on the opponent now in front of him.
The other six were going to assist Suki but, “I can handle him, go take care of the last one.” she ordered them as she gleaned at Levi.
Even though he hadn’t made a single move unit now her instincts were screaming at her to turn around and run, she knew that he was the most dangerous one in this group.
And that’s how Levi ended up facing seven trained Kyoshi warriors at once, the one who came after him originally and the six that followed right after.
“So ladies, shall we dance.” he said with a smirk on his face that seemed to agitate them as the first one ran at him, he dodged her effortlessly, and while doing so he aimed at the two fans that were in her hands and used his theft ability.
