I don't own Legend of Korra. Bryke and Nick does. I always wanted to make AU for the Legend of Korra fandom. I was inspired by a korra fanfic called Castle of Glass. By Departed. I highly recommed it. (Although it only has a couple of chapters.) it's an interesting AU.
Enjoy!
Can it be possible for a world to be equal between non benders and benders? The Avatar's duty is meant to help all people...right?
"Breaking news! It seems Police Cheif Lin Beifong and fellow metal benders have arrested the famous Future Industries Hiroshi Sato! Sato seems to have been involved with the radical organization of Equalists. The police force have taken all the weapons from his underground factory into their custody. The only statement we could get from the Chief was 'We still don't know the whereabouts of his daughter Asami Sato. We don't know if she wasn't aware of her father's secret activities. Currently, it's our top priority to find Miss Sato.' Well, you heard it folks-"
Suddenly the radio was turned off to the Avatar's surprised. Hiroshi Sato? The man who sponsored her team? Korra thought. She jerked her head back to see who turned off her news program. It was her mentor.
"Tenzin! Hey, what's the big idea?" Korra says as she stands up.
"Korra, there's an emergency council meeting about the whole matter you were listening too. I would like you to come join me at the meeting." She beamed at her mentor. He was always reluctant to allow her to be in politics.
"Really?!"
"Yes, hurry and get ready. I'm going to get Oogi ready so we can depart."
Korra nodded in response and ran to get ready for the meeting. Her mind was racing. She wanted to know what exactly what was going on. And what position this would put on the Fire Ferrets in for the tournament. There sponsor was arrested after all.
The Avatar found out why Tenzin dreaded the council meetings. It seemed like none of the members could ever stop arguing. There was a lot of bickering between everyone, including the man in charge of the task force Korra was once in.
"Don't you find it suspicious that Asami Sato just happens to be missing when her father is arrested for being apart of the equalist? If she is innocent in all of this then why wouldn't she come to your station and be questioned and prove she has no affiliation. Why is she hiding?!" Tarrlock argued.
"I can't just assume she's guilty with association and put her under warrant for arrest like a criminal Tarrlock! That's not how the justice system works!" Beifong slammed her fists on the table. She was irritated beyond belief with the Northern Watertribe politician. Korra looked to Tenzin to see how he would help create peace.
"We certainly need to find her first before we label the assumption that she's also apart of the Equalists. Questioning her is the only answer to know the situation that's happening." Everyone took in his wisdom slowly. It seemed everyone was distressed in the meeting room.
"Avatar Korra, what is your opinion on this matter? If you don't mind me asking?" The Fire Nation council member asked breaking the silence. Korra gulped. She wanted to sound articulate as she could for the council and Tenzin. She took a deep breathe and spoke.
"I feel mixed feelings about the whole 'Hiroshi thing' because he was sponsoring my pro bending team. I remember when we got sent the letter of him sponsoring us. It was something we never thought it would happen especially because we had given up hope of us going to the tournament . We didn't question it. I now feel that there must have been something he was up too. The Equalist had something in stored for us. I'm grateful he's under bars now, but I have to admit that the feeling I get about this whole Asami chick makes my stomach churn. My guts are saying to have caution, she could be bad news for all we know. I just want the safety of Republic City.
Korra seemed to be relieved to get that off her chest, but she felt like she babbled. Which she did when it came to public speaking and talking to upper class people.
"I agree with the Avatar about the safety of Republic city, and I personally think we should capture Miss Sato as soon as possible whether she's guility or not. Get her to the police station and protect the city from another possible threat." The Earth Kingdo member said.
The room once again erupted with chatter.
"Then we should warn the citizens of Republic City of Asami Sato. We can't take the chance if actually a threat. I say my task force should be the ones responsible of retrieving her. My elite task force can get the job done swiftly." Tarrlock bragged.
"I disagree, Lin's police force is fully capable of that duty Tarrlock. Lin has always proven proficiency as Chief." Tenzin defended.
"I propose we vote on the approval of having Miss Sato put on the wanted list." The southern Watertibe council member suggested.
"All in favor?"
Korra and Lin weren't allowed to vote but the members could. It was in their hands now. Everyone except Tenzin raised their hands. The majority wins. Tenzin frowns upon seeing Tarrlock's smug smile.
"And all in favor of my task force to be in charge of Asami Sato." Tarrlock says with his hammer in hand.
Once again he won. He smacked the hammer indicating the meeting adjourned. It was already over and they just played into the sleaze Tarrlock's favor. She was frustrated with the way the members were able to twist her words to something completely different . They made her feel stupid. Tenzin ushered her to come with him to leave. She walked next to him and Lin as they spoke of the meetings outcome. The Avatar felt overwhelmed with all of it. Politics were very complicated.
Don't forget to review lovely readers! Next chapter should be up soon.
