This just had to be written. I'm sorry. Actually, I'm not, but that's life. Basically, Percy is the ultimate waterbender, and Amon doesn't even compare. Or, if Percy and Leo were about to have their 'bending' taken away.

The Ultimate Waterbender
(because I couldn't think of a better name)

Okay, so a plan. Need a plan. Plan, plan, plan, plan…where was Annabeth when you need her? Honestly, it was bad enough that Percy got zapped into this weirdo world, but he didn't even get to be zapped with his girlfriend! Although he wasn't entirely sure he even wanted Annabeth in some crazy, element-bending, communist face-mask criminal world. Seriously, the 'Equalists?' If they started waving the red flag Percy was done. With everything.

"So…Any ideas?" Oh yeah, Leo was there too. And Rachel and Jason, but, unlike them, they hadn't been nabbed by crazy finger-tappers who somehow took away all movement.

Percy glanced around at the large crowd of civilians, the other guys tied up next to him, and the crazy mask-face who just kept droning on and on about bad-benders-this and bad-benders-that. There might've been some tragic backstory thrown in, but Percy was only half listening.

"Can you melt the handcuffs?" he murmured.

"No, already tried," came Leo's whispered response.

"Hm…think you can somehow pick the lock?" Percy suggested.

"With what?" Leo growled back as loud as he dared.

"You still have your toolbelt," Percy reminded him. Leo looked like he might smack himself in the face, if his hands weren't bound behind his back.

"Right," he muttered. "Lemme just…" He grunted as he managed to shove his hands in the back pocket of his toolbelt.

Percy tapped his fingers nervously as mask-face finally finished speaking, and the first guy in line was brought forward. Something about taking away bending…but giving them a chance? Percy watched and winced at mask-man managed to avoid every punch of flame, and even a strike of lightning. And then he had the man's arm twisted around, and he pressed his thumb against his forehead. The man slumped to the ground, not dead, but certainly defeated.

"What did you do to me?" the man whispered, horrified.

"Your bending is gone. Forever," mask-man stated dramatically.

"Yo, dude, you gotta hurry," Percy muttered when mask-man turned towards him. It was his turn. Of course, he didn't have any 'bending' to take away, and he seriously doubted he could somehow take away his ability to control water, considering he was the literal son of the sea-god. But still, they had to get outta there, and who knew what they'd do if they found out his "bending" couldn't actually be taken, that it was something else entirely? Ugh, this was super confusing!

"Hold your horses!" Leo growled at him. "I can't see what I'm doing!...Heh, hold your horses. Get it? Cause-"

"I get it, just hurry!" Percy whispered as he was hauled forward. His restraints were loosened and fell to the ground. The Demigod stood uneasily, rubbing his wrists as he wondered how in Hades he was going to get out of this.

"Water, for you to use," mask-face said mockingly, spreading his arm to gesture to several barrels of water pushed up against the stage. Percy wasn't really sure what to do now, considering he usually fought with his sword. Probably best to do some water tricks, so as to not tip anyone off that he wasn't really…normal. Besides, it was either that or cause an earthquake and Percy had a feeling that would not turn out well.

Percy had caught sight of a few people 'bending' water while they had been in the city and tried to mimic that as he summoned the liquid to him. At the very least, hopefully everyone would think he was just a very incompetent 'bender.' Waving his arms like a crazy person, Percy sent the water towards mask-face, a simple strike, which he easily dodged. Frowning, Percy pressed, this time putting more force and strength behind the wave. Maybe if he defeated this guy, his minions would decide to let him go free.

Yeah, as if.

Mask-face continued to dodge, albeit with a bit more difficulty. He was making his way towards Percy, no doubt so he could to that weird thumb thing, but the Demigod wasn't making it easy for him. He kept moving, dodging and hopping around while he desperately stalled for Leo to hurry up with his cuffs.

Of course, since he was distracted, he didn't realize that Leo had already picked the lock, and was now trying to get his attention. Later, Percy would blame it on ADHD.

Mask-face began to get a little more ruthless, obviously annoyed that Percy was avoided him so well. And suddenly, Percy felt an odd tug in his water. Like someone was trying to take control of it. Someone other than him.

The water was horribly confused. On one hand, an extremely powerful bender was trying to bring it to his will. On the other, the son of the sea-god himself was calling to it! Never mind that this was a sea-god from a whole different world, the water had absolutely no idea who it was supposed to listen to.

Percy frowned, his eyes suddenly widening in realization. "You're controlling the water!" he accused, causing several gasps from the crowd. Ooh, milk it! Somewhere, in Percy's ADHD muddled mind, he realized that these people were all non-benders who hated benders, and if it turned out the guy who was leading them was a bender all along, then they'd flip out! And, y'know, stop revolting or whatever it is they're doing. "You're a waterbender!" he shouted dramatically, desperately hoping that was the right term for it.

"I am no bender!" mask-face growled angrily. "I am above your petty magic!" And then Percy felt his flood freeze. Literally. Well, not literally as in, it was frozen like ice, but literally as in it had stopped, and suddenly no longer under his control.

He's controlling my blood. Well that's just freaky.

Percy kept moving though, and he realized it was all for show. Mask-man couldn't beat him normally, so now he was resorting to his ultimate cheat card to make sure he still won while the audience was none the wiser about him being a waterbender. Mask-man was really close now; another minute and Percy would be forehead molested by thumb.

Yeah, well, I'm the son of Poseidon, god of the sea! My blood listens to me and me only! Percy didn't say that aloud, obviously. Too many questions otherwise.

Forcing his mind to focus, Percy zeroed in on the water in his blood, all twisted and being tugged the wrong way. A breath, and then he shoved, forcing his blood to run normally, breaking it out of mask-face's control.

The falter in his opponent's step betrayed his surprise.

Percy growled and sent one last wave at the crazy communist, who was so shocked he didn't even have a chance to dodge. He was swept off his feet and sent into the side of the stage, where he fell to the ground with a thud.

The crowd gasped again.

"This guy's definitely a waterbender!" Percy announced loudly, just to let everyone know they were following a lie. He ducked when evil henchmen #1 came at him with some sort of electric glove thingy, and rolled to the side when evil henchmen #2 tried to finger-tap him again.

"Percy, let's go!" Leo shouted, punching evil henchmen #3 before grabbing the keys and tossing it to the other people tied up on stage.

"Bolin!" Some guy with serious eyebrow action suddenly appeared, helping up the last tied up guy, who was really only around Percy's own age or so. "We gotta get out of here!"

Percy grabbed Leo by the collar and dragged him away from the screaming mass of civilians. The other guys they had freed were currently attacking the evil henchmen, while mask-face groaned and tried to stand.

"We can get him right now!" Okay, who was this new chick? Percy hadn't even seen her come in…whatever.

"No, we gotta get out of here!" eyebrow dude shouted, grabbing the other guy and the girl and racing for the exit.

"Hey, we're coming with you!" Percy shouted, racing after them with Leo right behind him. They ran outside where the weirdest animal ever was waiting for them. It was white and about the size of a bear, but it kind of looked like a Labrador or something…

"We can't all fit on Naga!" random girl was saying.

"Ooh, over here!" Leo called, jumping into the driver's seat of one of the evil guys' cars.

"You know how to drive a car like this?" Percy asked him as they got into the passenger seat. He wasn't even sure if Leo had his license.

"Nope!" came Leo's cheerful reply as the other three climbed into the back. He ran his hands over the steering wheel and grinned.

"Naga, follow!" random girl shouted to the white beast thing just as eyebrow dude was asking, "Don't you need a key to start-"

Everyone was jolted back as they suddenly took off down the road, leaving behind whatever in Hades had been going on in there. Percy hoped no civilians got hurt.

"Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about!" Leo cheered, pumping a fist into the air. "So…where are we going?"

"We need to tell the police about this," eyebrow dude decided. "Head for the station."

"Right! And where would that be?" Leo asked as innocently as possible.

"First time we've been here," Percy added in helpfully.

"Left here!" eyebrow dude shouted, and Leo made a tight swerve.

"Dude, we're not being chased!" Percy reminded him. "Slow down!" Leo grumbled but obliged, and Percy let out a sigh of relief. Now he no longer had to worry about getting tossed out of the car and dying a horrible, painful death. Turning around, he offered the three strangers a grin and said, "Hi! I'm Percy by the way. This is Leo."

"I'm Korra," random girl greeted.

"Mako," eyebrow dude said next. "And this is my brother, Bolin." He nodded to the other guy who was still visibly shaking, eyes the wide as saucers.

"Um, you okay?" Percy asked him.

"He was going to take my bending away," Bolin murmured. He looked up at the Demigod and asked, "How can you be so calm?"

Percy shrugged. "You get used to it." To Leo, he said, "What I'm more worried about is how we're gonna find Rachel and Jason."

"Make a right here," Mako suddenly chipped in, prompting Leo to turn.

"Eh, we'll find them," came his reply once they had straightened out.

"What were you saying earlier?" Korra asked. "About Amon being a waterbender?"

"Oh, well, I was, uh, bending the water when I felt someone else try to…I guess take control of it?" Percy explained. "It was subtle though, probably so that I wouldn't notice…but I did. And then I guess that made him real mad, 'cause then he started controlling my blood."

Roughly three people spluttered at that comment. Leo was making some sort of comment on how 'creepy' that was, so whether he counted as a fourth or not remained open.

"He bloodbended you?!" Korra cried. "It's not even a full moon out!"

"Wow, are we getting into werewolf-vampire stuff now?" Leo questioned from where he drove.

"Make a right," was the only comment he got in return.

"Are you sure it was bloodbending?" Korra asked, eyes extremely wide.

"Well, I could definitely feel my blood go all weird," Percy reported. "And when I took a look, all my blood vessels were going nuts. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure."

"How did you break his control?"

"Uh, I told my blood to quite slacking on the job and get a move on," Percy replied.

"You're a bloodbender?!"

"Will everyone stop shouting!" Leo grumbled, swerving as he avoided a random lollygagger who was shaking his fist at them.

"Turn left up here," Mako told him.

Percy decided that bloodbending was bad here, so in explanation he said, "I'm not sure what I did. I could just tell there was something wrong with my blood and I fixed it."

Korra frowned. "Well…I mean, that sounds like bloodbending, but…" She shook her head. "We'll figure it out later. First things first, we need to tell Chief Beifong about this."

"Another right, and then the station will be right there."

Percy sighed and rubbed his temple. "I could really go for some blue ice cream right about now."

"Blue what-now?" Boling asked.

"Never mind." By then, Leo had pulled up to the police station, which only had a few lights on inside. "So, um, this was fun!" Percy stated awkwardly as everyone save him and Leo got out of the car. "We should do it again sometime! Seeya later?"

Mako frowned at them. "You're not coming in?"

"We need to find our two friends," Leo blurted.

"But you said Anon is a waterbender," Korra reminded them, turning to Percy. "And a bloodbender. You need to report that."

"Okay, okay. C'mon Leo." Percy dragged the boy from the car and followed the others up the stairs inside. Looks like they were still in this mess, whether they liked it or not.

"Should we run for it?" Leo suggested softly.

"Think we can avoid them and still find Jason and Rachel?" Percy muttered back.

"We've still got the car."

Percy thought about it. "Alright, go get it started." As Leo turned around, he called out, "Yeah, so, turns out, Leo and I really need to go find our friends." Mako, Bolin, and Korra turned to look at him oddly as he spoke, casually back up towards the vehicle. "We'd love to stay and chat, but honestly, we don't do well with authorities, so…we're just gonna go." Leo started up the engine and Percy hopped in, sending an apologetic wave. "Sorry!" he shouted as they sped off, leaving the three standing there awkwardly. "Think they'll follow us on that bear thing of theirs?" Percy asked as he shifted forward.

"Let's hope not," Leo muttered in reply.

Back at the police station, Bolin was the first to speak. "Was it just me, or were those two really weird?"

I should feel shame but I don't.
