Hey guys! I know I usually write for Soul Eater, actually, I only write for Soul Eater, but anyway, I decided that I had a GREAT idea for this, so I'm going with it. Here goes!

They stood atop the bluff, looking out into the ocean and the burnt down arena across it. Korra smiled, the memories that she had made there, all the fun she had, and the bending experience. Mako noticed her smile, and nudged her. Her blue eyes met his amber ones, and they hugged. Tenzin watched the two, noticing their connection and the way they made one another smile. He realized the similarity to his and Pema's relationship, and then shook his head. As he did this, he looked past Lin, who was standing next to him looking out over the sea, and noticed one other person without a smiled on his face and no will to join in their moment of observing. Bolin. In fact, his facial expression seemed beyond depressed as he glanced at Korra and his brother. Tenzin knew the young earthbender had liked Korra very much, but Mako had won over her heart. The airbender walked over, sitting next to Bolin.

"You should be happy for their decision, even if it didn't benefit you." he said softly, Lin watching him from the corner of her eye. Bolin looked up, his large green eyes saddened. "I know its hard, but-."

"I know." Bolin said, leaning his forearms on his knees and looking at his hands. "I should, I really should. I tell myself everyday, every second nearly, but all I find is loneliness. Like I have no place here. Like maybe I don't even belong."

"Bolin," Tenzin began. "Everyone is here for a purpose. Everyone has a reason for being alive. Maybe it is your duty to figure yours out, and that might put you on the right path. After all, hopefully you dealt with those equalists." Bolin smiled and laughed at Tenzin's joking. The equalists were defeated and arrested, although some managed to escape and still attacked benders whenever they got the chance.

"Can you believe that people were so devoted to that?" Korra asked. "So devoted to being equal that- that they nearly lost humanity even? Fighting one another and agreeing to take away a piece of someone's life?"

"A piece of someone's life?" Mako asked, narrowing his eyes in confusion.

"Yah." Korra nodded. "Bending is a part of our lives, our future. It's who we are, and to take that is like taking a piece of us."

"I know I was terrified when Amon came at me all creepy like." Bolin said, folding his arms over his chest. "That guy scared me still, and he's not even here anymore!"

"Yah." Korra agreed, smiling at Bolin's humor. She turned to Tenzin. "Speaking of which, how long is General Iroh planning to stay?" The tall airbender stiffened, and stood erect. Lin, who had previously been observing silently, glanced at him.

"Tenzin, what is it? Spill, you know something we don't." she said, eyes narrowed. A silence fell over the group, and Korra, Mako, and Bolin all turned their attention to Tenzin and he sighed, hanging his head.

"General Iroh... went missing a few days ago." he admitted, and the group gasped.

"And you never bothered to tell us?" Mako demanded. "That guy saved us in the war, he's a GENERAL! And you didn't even have anyone keep an eye on him, or no one saw him leave?"

"Believe me, most of Republic City saw him leave." Tenzin said, only further confusing the group even further. "He left in his airplane, flying out and towards the equalists secret air base. No one's seen him since."

"Then let's go look in the airbase!" Mako exclaimed. "He might still be there, c'mon!" Korra and Bolin followed him as he walked away only to be stopped by Tenzin.

"He's not there." he said. "We already had an investigation unit look it over. It's empty, abandoned, no sign of life whatsoever-."

"That's a lie too." Lin said, grabbing Tenzin by the collar and stopping the trio as they watched. "No one would go to such extremes to describe a desolate area. Someone's been hiding there for sure, haven't they? Who is it?" Tenzin was silent, and Korra, Mako, and Bolin's gazes switched back and forth between the two. Tenzin sighed again.

"Fine, there were traces of someone being there, and from the looks of it, it was a group of equalists that had banded together in order to fight back. They still hold Amon's word, despite his disappearance or truth of who he was." Another silence enveloped the group, and Korra blinked rapidly.

"They have Iroh, don't they?" she asked, and Tenzin shrugged.

"We're not exactly sure. We figure that yes, he could be captured and hidden somewhere, or he could even have taken the plane to fight back against them. We don't have exact measures yet, but we're- oh no." Tenzin's gaze was focused behind the group, and they all turned, taken aback by the sight. A man stood there in an equalist uniform that could've been through anything is what it looked. It was covered in mud, dirt, leaves, it was torn in part, but the man still had the defiant look on his face. Lin was the first to react, shooting her metal wires, but the man was faster and a quick-thinker. He grabbed the cords with his gloved hand and electrocuted them, putting Lin on the ground before the fight even started. Korra began to bend a little bit of water and shot it at the man, but he basically did the same trick with Lin. He touched the end and just as it made contact, he electrocuted it and sent Korra flying backwards. Mako ran back to get her, and Tenzin took his place. He blasted a burst of air straight at him, and the man jumped up, letting Tenzin hit Bolin instead. Bolin was knocked backwards, and Tenzin froze for a second to apologize and the man electrocuted him. Bolin stood, groggily, and realized that he was seeing in double. He was the man approach him, but didn't make it to him. Bolin shook his head, and saw a wall of rock in front of him.

"Whoa!" he said, and turned to see a girl. She was his height, with a petite form, and green eyes. She had a green shirt on with a brown sash going from the left shoulder to the right hip. She had a pair of brown pants on, and black shoes. She smiled as the man regained his feet, and she launched him skywards. Tenzin, Lin, and Korra all came to and they looked at the girl. Bolin felt his heart start pounding, as he realized that she was looking at him. "Oh, uh, hi I'm Bolin." she chuckled and smiled a very pretty smile.

"My name is Mya." she said, and then she flinched at a sound. A very familiar one that everyone had thought was gone once the equalists were defeated. An airship. They looked up to see an airship with Amon's face on either side. It flew over the city, dropping equalist troops inside.

"I thought we defeated these guys." Bolin said loudly.

"We did, and the survivors don't want to die without justice." Mya said, crouching on the edge of the bluff. "They want revenge on you and us, so we have to work together on this. They'll want to take you captive, don't let them, they'll kill you. Work together, we'll be back with more forces on the way as soon as we can." with that, she jumped down towards the water, creating an earth path across and running rather quickly.

"Who was that?" Korra asked, and Bolin only sighed, remembering her face clearly.

"I don't know, but I do want to know what she meant by 'we.'" Lin said, helping Tenzin to his feet.

"That!" Mako said, pointing as the girl shot herself into the air. That's when a small airplane came into view. It swooped down, catching the girl and speeding off as about 4 more gave chase. Fire blasts were shout, and rocks and lightning were returned. One of the 4 giving chase spiraled down and exploded in the water. The girl went out of view and was replaced by a man, standing on the wings of the plane. He shot fire balls back at the planes, dropping two more. The last one shot fire at him, and he fell to his knees. He looked up, staggering to his feet, and shot lightning back at the plane. It caught fire and plummeted. There was only one person capable of a task. "That's General Iroh!"

So, I'm sorry it was short, and you'll figure this out but I'm a hypocrite! I hate cliffhangers, yet I leave them all the time. Please review, no flames but constructive criticism is accepted!
