[FOR OFFICIAL ORDER, PLEASE CHECK OUT THE LAST CHAPTER]

Beginning

This is it. The time is now to storm Amon's base and to finally stop his madness. Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Asami are all running to where Lin had told them a secret entrance is at. The streets are surprisingly empty; no equalists, no people, no satomobiles, no sign of life anywhere. They arrive at the building, and they all give it a look down. Nothing to seems to be suspicious about it, but that isn't going to stop Korra from breaking off a piece of the siding to find their entrance. Once inside they notice a large metal door, bingo. Korra slams herself into the door and it bursts open.

"Huh. No lock." She turns to face the group and pauses to think, staring at the ground. Is this a trap? Or is it always like this since they don't expect anyone to find this place. She looks back up at her friends and without any doubt she says "Let's go!"

The four run down a long hallway which turns into a very large square room. Dimly lit but they know they're in the right place though, the walls are decorated with amon's portraits. There are metal doors on each wall, all of which are closed. They study the room to find any way to open the doors from their side, though all they could find is a platform high up in the corner away from them.

The lights burst on and they hear the familiar voice.

"Welcome Avatar and friends, I'm glad to see you've found my humble home. But this is as far as you get!"

An alarm goes off and gears are turning on the opposite wall from them, causing the door to rise. They could see many outlines from the passageway the door was blocking. A full wave of Chi Blockers are on their way to confront them, there would be no chance in winning, not with those numbers. Quickly thinking Korra earthbended her way up to the gears.

"Bolin, get up here and help me!" She yells at him, slight hint of panic in her voice.

"But I don't know how to metalbend!" he exclaims, looking at her like she's crazy.

"It doesn't matter!" she snaps. "We have to try, or else we're all done for."

Bolin looks at the incoming attackers and decides that Korra is right, he earthbends his way up as well.

Korra looks at him with a stern face and yells "Just try to sense any earth in it!" She returns to stare at the gear, hoping that it'll tell her where the impurities are. The alarm still going off and the impending attack made this job a lot harder. Bolin is moving his hands across the gear, hoping that it will help him see the earth in it. His face goes from concerned to extreme panic as he can't sense anything.

"Hey guys…any time now…." Mako says aloud without taking his gaze off of the swarm.

"Keep trying!" Korra barks again, panic definitely setting in, searching desperately for the impurities of the metal.

The first couple of Chi Blockers made it past the door and are attacking Mako and Asami. Korra sees fire blasts and sparks fly. Her eyes widen and she slams her hand on the gear. THERE! She found one! She forces that earth piece to fly straight outward, in doing so a new spike appeared on the gear. She keeps on pulling and with it more pieces of earth move with it, forcing it to shoot off from the wall. The door moans loudly as the other gear now has all of the pressure of holding the door up.

"Bolin, get down!" As she said that, the gear he was working on snaps in half and flies off the wall. With nothing holding up the door, it crashes to the ground with a deafening thud. With the Chi Blockers distracted from the sound Korra jumps off and raises her foot and creates fire in its wake. She connects her foot with a head, causing the man to fall to the ground. In the current confusion, Asami also takes the opportunity and grabs the remaining pursuer with the Equalist Glove, shocking him.

As if these actions were a key, the alarm shuts off and the adjacent door to their right opens up. This time, revealing a hallway with no one in it. Lights turn on in succession to reveal the path.

"You know it's a trap, right?" Mako looks at Korra.

"Of course…but there's nothing else we can do. Let's just go and get it over with." She runs through the doorway.

"Hello Avatar and company. I'm glad to see that you've made it through the past room. Now just follow this hallway to face me."

They arrive to indeed see Amon, waiting, and with a flick of his arm, more Chi Blockers land in between the group, splitting the group by gender. The start to move the 4 away from each other, but Korra wouldn't budge. The Chi Blocker stood right in Korra's face, staring her down through his green goggles, but she will not be deterred today. She came this far, why stop now? The odds were in their favor for once. The Chi Blocker raises his arm and unexpectedly another Chi Blocker captures her legs with a whip and forces her to fall. The new Chi Blocker then reels her in a bit before she jumps out of the whip's hold with a wheel of fire. The first Chi Blocker shoves Asami into the same direction as her friend.

Once they both were in position, Amon presses a button on his control panel, which opens a trap door, sending Asami and Korra falling. Asami, in panic grabs hold of Korra.

Time seems to have slowed down for Korra, she saw the ground, hundreds of feet away, slowly approach her. She felt the wind flowing through her hair and felt the many tings of sensation from Asami's hair brushing against her face.

"Korra! Do something!" Asami screams. Korra looks directly into her eyes, she couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt something as Asami clings tighter to her body. Asami also felt something staring into the cerulean eyes. Was it the adrenaline of the fall causing a tsunami of emotions? She shakes her head and returns to look at the ground.

Korra exhales and forces fire out of her feet with much intensity, slowing their descent. As Asami lifts her legs so they don't get burned Korra intensifies the flames. Asami then places her head on Korra's shoulder, afraid of the landing. Korra feels Asami's hair throughout her face, she doesn't know why, or even why she's thinking about this at what's going on, but she really likes Asami being this close to her. What is going on?

They land, albeit not the smoothest landing, but they landed safely enough for Korra to not shatter her legs. She fell over though, Korra didn't expect Asami's weight to factor in, and landing on top of her. Korra picks herself up and lays her hand out to help Asami up. She grabs her hand and pulls herself up with help. She's now standing in front of Korra, and their eyes meet. What is captivating about them? Why am I staring at them? Why is she staring? Unbeknownst to Korra, her arm starts to move on its own. She moves her hand up across Asami's arm, feeling ever crevice and memorizing the texture. By the time she got to her bicep she regains composure and shakes her head.

"We have to get going!" her seriousness returns. Asami nods and they head down the new corridor until they start to hear voices. Korra grabs Asami and forces her to stand at the wall.

"…is what I was told. Alright, go get Hiroshi and his new weapon. We're going to need it. Amon's final plan counts on it!"

They see a Chi Blocker run across the hall and in another direction. After making sure that no one will be coming down their hallway, Korra relaxes and notices where her hand is on Asami's body, dangerously close to her breast. But Asami didn't seem to notice, her thoughts were on about her father and how to stop him. She moves forwards without much thought and realizes where Korra's hand was. She stepped in front of her, her face in pain.

"Korra..I…"She places her hand on Korra's strong shoulder. "I have to stop my father."

"No! I ne—I mean we need you to help! We can't do this without you!"

"Yes you can." Pain reaches her eyes and she looks slightly away from Korra. "I have to stop him. Only I can do this. And…" she hesitates "…just in case I don't make—"

"You will make it!"

"But just in case…" she leans in and cups Korra's cheeks and kisses her. She holds for a few seconds, wishing that this could last longer before releasing her lips and hands. She turns around suddenly and runs in the same direction as the Chi Blocker.
