Resurgence
Chapter 1: Avatar Korra
Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar or The Legend of Korra series. I have no affiliation with Nickelodeon.
Background: Hey, thanks for reading! This is a (very unlikely) story about a resurgence of Vaatu inside of Raava during Avatar Korra's lifetime. It takes place 7 years after the final episode, when Korra is 28 years old. I don't really like to write about relationships, but I am going to talk about Korra and Asami's just a bit. Have fun reading.
Fire flew high into the air as Korra's ship approached the Fire Nation Capital. Korra wiped her eyes. The funeral was sure to be a magnificent one.
The ship docked as Korra, Naga, Tonraq, Senna, Kya, Bolin, Desna, and Eska dismounted. Toph, Suyin, and Lin Beifong, all of whom were also in tears, greeted them.
"When are the airbenders arriving?" Korra asked Su.
"I have no idea." Su said.
"My brothers are sure to be here any minute. They are almost as upset as when our mother passed." Kya added.
Within minutes, hundreds of more ships arrived and several sky bison landed. Korra hadn't seen the airbenders in three years. Bumi, Ikki, Opal, and Kai had all received their tattoos, and hundreds of new airbenders had joined, but most had stayed at the island. Only the tattooed airbenders had come, but Pema also tagged along. Jinora, Ikki, and Tenzin ran to Korra. Jinora and Ikki both hugged her.
"Korra! It's been so long!" Ikki screamed, "Why have you been gone for so long? I love how you kept your hair short!"
"Why does everyone think I keep my hair short just because of my… preferences?" Korra asked sarcastically, "Girls, you have grown up so much! Tenzin, Pema, I am so happy to see you. I'm sorry it has to be on such a sad occasion."
"Well, Korra, we understand. You had to be in the South Pole in order to find Kula." Tenzin said as he hugged the Avatar.
Kula was the waterbending leader of a resurgence of the Red Lotus. In the eleven years since the Red Lotus fell, Korra had been chasing them around until all of the members but Kula were caught. Kula had retreated to the South Pole, where he was raised. Korra took Bolin with her to find Kula. In three years, they finally found him and sent him to a prison in the Earth Kingdom. Kula had powers similar to Unalaq, and made spirits dark with his dark spiritbending.
"Well I'm just glad it's over," She said, "But my dad, cousins, Bolin, and Kya really helped out."
Opal and Bolin had broken up because Bolin chose to go with Korra. They were talking, and Korra looked happily at them. Naga went back to the boat as a Future Industries airship landed. Out came King Wu, Mako, and Asami. Korra's eyes filled with tears as she and Bolin greeted the two. Wu stood by as Korra and Asami shared a passionate kiss. Their relationship had been on-and-off since the Red Lotus came back. Asami had visited her in the South Pole six months before. As for Mako, neither Korra nor Bolin had seen him in five years. He was they head of Ba Sing Se security and first non-earthbender to be Head of the Dai Li.
"Korra! I've missed you so much! Bolin, it's great to see you." Asami said.
"Bro, I am so sorry I didn't meet with you sooner. Korra, it's so nice to see you again." Mako yelled.
Suddenly, bells rang and the friends made their way to trams going to the top of the volcano. They reached the outdoor funeral along with thousands of other people and a dragon. Some of the biggest faces in history were there. Korra saw somebody she hadn't seen in a lifetime.
"Suki! It's been too long," shouted Toph, "Where have you been for the last twenty years. You didn't even go to Katara's funeral!"
"Ever since Sokka died, I have been on Kyoshi. I didn't go to Katara's funeral because a terrible storm around Kyoshi didn't let anything in or out." Suki said.
Korra greeted the great master and took a seat between her and Toph in the 'Honored Guest' section of the seats. Feet in front of them stood a coffin and several familiar faces.
"Lord Zuko was a great man…" General Iroh said his eulogy. Korra's eyes filled with tears as she heard he, Fire Lord Izumi (who was resigning soon and giving Iroh the thrown), Izumi's husband, Zuko's friend Ty Lee, Toph, Suki, Tenzin, Tonraq, and his wife Mai all talk.
Iroh called on her to talk now. Korra pulled a small piece of paper from her pocket.
"Lord Zuko had been good to me my entire life. When I was little, and some crazy maniacs tried to kidnap me, he helped keep me safe. When I was thirteen and starting my firebending training, Zuko sent me a book he wrote on forms he learned from the Sun Warriors. I owe…" Korra was cut off as a giant block of ice hit her head.
She fell over and three bombs went off, making the stage fall. Korra sent a giant blast of air at Zuko's family, sending them off the stage. She crawled out of the rubble.
"Remain calm!" she screamed at a panicking crowd. Somebody screamed 'terrorist attack.' Her main concern was to get Zuko's family and body out of there.
Another explosion went off. Her mind immediately went to the Red Lotus, although she knew it was impossible.
"Tenzin! Jinora! Bumi! Opal! Kya!" she screamed and the people came to her aid, "You all get Toph, Suki, Zuko's family and the body out of here. Also get Desna, Eska, my dad, my mom, King Wu, and the president out. Use the sky bison and Zuko's dragon. Here is a dog whistle if you want Naga."
The 'rescue team' got to work as another bomb went off. Everyone rushed out as Naga flew through the crowd and sky bison came down.
The crowd screamed as a giant blast of water hit them. Korra saw its owner standing at the top of a nearby building. Mako, Asami, and Bolin came up to her.
"Korra, do you need help?" Asami asked.
"Asami, Bolin, I just want you to help out Tenzin and look for any suspicious people around here. I think I found the main culprit, though. Mako, I need you to help me catch this guy."
Korra sent blasts of fire out of her hands and feet and flew at the man. Mako did the same. As they flew at him, he sent giant blasts of water at them. Korra was sure this was Kula. The only question was: how did he escape?
Korra and Mako landed on the building. The waterbender's face was covered. Both Korra and Mako sent large blasts of fire at the man, but he jumped off of the building and used water from a skin on his back to swing to the next building. Korra airbended herself to the next building and sent a giant blast of air at the waterbender. The person fell over but quickly sent a blast of glowing purple water into Korra.
Korra screamed as her eyes glowed purple and Raava lit up inside her. Korra immediately fainted, but was able to watch as Mako pinned the waterbender down and removed her mask. It was not Kula, but his crazy daughter, Klara. Korra blacked out.
