This is just a little something that grew out of control in my heads and wouldn't shut up until I wrote it. So, here's the first chapter. I'm going to be writing small chapters, so it will come in bursts, but it should come out faster that way... I don't know. Hopefully it will, though. I already have a later chapter written. It's the chapter that is the whole reason why I'm writing this story so I really can't wait until we reach that point.

Hope you like this chapter, even though it's so short and is basically just the end of episode 3.

"Uh… Hello, Amon, sir. I think there's been a big misunderstanding," Bolin smiled, tapping his fingers together in a nervous matter, as the masked man turned to stare at him. There was a disturbance out in the crowd, but his eyes remained locked on Amon, who took a step towards him. An explosion sounded from the side of the room as one of the machines on the wall let out steam. The mist began to envelope the room and Bolin watched as Amon stepped back into the cover, disappearing from sight.

Running footsteps sounded from behind the earthbender but before he could turn to see who it was, an arm wrapped around his neck, pulling him back into a hold. Suddenly the hold loosened as he felt the masked man wrenched away from him. He took a step away from the scuffle to turn back just in time to see his brother throw the man off the stage. Mako turned to him, his brow creased in worry.

"Bolin, are you alright?"

"Yes! Mako, I love you!" He shouted in glee, clasping his hands together as the fear rushed from his body at the sight of his brother and the disappearance of Amon.

Together, then ran through the mist, searching for an exit before throwing open a door and running out into the night air. They started down the ladder, but footsteps coming towards the ladder made them pause their escape. Mako waiting, hoping that it was Korra, but knowing that it would be stupid to think it was her. She was in a whole different part of the building.

As he had expected, someone much different stared down at them: Amon's right-hand man. He stared at them for a split second before twirling his kali sticks, electricity running through them. He slammed them down on the ladder and electricity coursed through it. The brothers let out screams of pain as they felt it surge through their bodies, making them lose their hold on the ladder and tumble down to the ground below.

The recovered quickly, getting back up to their feet to fight against the man. The fight lasted less than a minute, the man quickly over powering them through his agility and skills, finishing them by electrocuting them, watching their limp bodies fall to the ground. Bolin's eyesight dotted in front of him as he blinked furiously, demanding his limbs to do as he commanded them to.

"You benders need to understand. There's no place in the world for you anymore," someone spoke, the man. His voice was low and gravelly as he stood over them, both of them feeling too weak to do anything. Before Mako could curse him out, earth rose in front of the man, slamming into his chest and sending him flying back into the wall, cracking the generator on his back. He fell to the ground and struggled to get back to his feet, his arms straining.

"I wouldn't count us out just yet," relief rushed though the brothers as they heard Korra's voice. The man's arms gave and he collapsed back to the ground. She whistled for her friend, the polar bear dog, calling its name. The creature ran down to her with a bark as she went to go help Mako off the ground. More Eqalists were pouring out of the building now, flipping off the platform to join them on the ground below. Bolin finally managed to sit up, just in time to see Naga racing toward him, jaws open, sharp teeth fully exposed.

He let out a not so manly scream as the beast lunged at him, his arms held up in defense. The pet merely grabbed him by the back of his jacket, holding it in her mouth as they made their escape. Bolin jostled with each bound the creature took, his feet dragging along behind him.

"Gah! Stop. I want. To be. On. Your back. Please!" he said with each step of the creature, but to no avail. He glanced back, or at least tried to. It was hard to see past the lumbering beast, with its flurry of limbs and tail, to the followers. They turned the corner and the Equalists were no longer in their line of sight. But, even then, he never saw them following. Someone had held them back. He waited a little longer of being dragged around by Naga before he finally spoke up to the two on her back.

"Hey, um… do you think I can be on her back now?"

Korra gave a curt command to Naga and they skid to a stop. The jaw of the polar bear dog opened, releasing Bolin from her grasp and he fell to the ground with a grunt, setting himself up on his elbows once he got all the air back into his lungs. He twisted to see the two staring down at him, Korra with a concerned expression and Mako looking like he was about to laugh.

"Thank, guys. I've always wanted to be dragged down streets by a polar bear dog," he got to his feet, dusting himself off and immediately got licked by a gigantic tongue. He looked through the saliva at Naga, who just seemed to smile at him, "Licked by one, too."

This time Mako did laugh and Korra joined right along with him, "Sorry, Bolin. We just had to get out of there quickly and I guess Naga though that that was the best way, didn't ya, girl?" She leaned forward and scratched the top of Naga's head. The creature sighed in relief, leaning into the scratch. Bolin couldn't stop the smile that spread over his face at the scene. He, too, reached out a hesitant hand to place it on the beast's muzzle.

"Thanks, Naga. For getting us out of there."

"Oh, great. Now you've found another animal to talk to besides Pabu," Mako groaned, "I'll never hear the end of this."

"You're just jealous you have no friends," Bolin teased as he climbed on the saddle, Mako scooting back a little so he could sit between them. They started moving again, back towards the arena so Korra could drop them off before she went back to her own home.

"Jealous of what? That's like being jealous of people that have imaginary friends, Bo," But Mako couldn't keep the smile out of his voice. His brother was safe, bending and all.

Please review!

The next chapter should be out soon. Tomorrow, maybe.
