"You want to know why? Because Amon is hiding in the shadows like a coward. Amon, I challenge you to a duel, no task force, no chi blockers, just the two of us tonight at midnight on Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing, if you're man enough to face me"
Avatar Korra's voiced echoed from the radio in his office. Amon smirked 'She thinks mocking me will be sufficient bait? humph, we'll see.' "Lieutenant, gather a group of chi-blockers. The Avatar needs to be put in her place." Amon ordered, his voice dripping with finality, Lieutenant quickly cleared off. Amon stood and began to pace. 'How is it that girl is able to be so… so… foolish?' "Sir the chi blockers are ready." Amon nodded shortly. "Tonight is the night the Avatar learn just who has the upper-hand in this war of ours." He said as the chi-blockers filed into a truck. It took mere minutes to reach the coast where Aang Memorial Island stood using the underground tunnels, Amon gazed at the statue for a moment. He always had mixed feelings about Avatar Aang, he shook the thoughts before he could even think them, and quickly hopped into a boat with the chi-blockers.
"Wait here, I will confront the Avatar, I will give a signal when you are needed" Amon said quickly. Not bothering to wait for a response. He swiftly walked through the shadows, to remain unseen.
It was easy to locate Korra, who was waltzing around, with a troubled look on her face. Amon smirked, a snuck up behind her. "I received your invitation young Avatar."
Amon smirked beneath his mask, she was vulnerable, weak. 'This will be too easy' Amon lunged forward, easily jabbing Korra's chi-points, rendering her bending useless. He grabbed Korra by the wrist with a bruising grip. He easily forced her onto her knees. He released his grip but she remained frozen, her eyes quivering with fear. Amon knelt on one knee, and moved his hand toward her forehead.
'No, it's too soon, if I equalize her now there will be thousands behind her' He moved his hand, grazing her cheek and gripped her chin roughly. "Our showdown, while inevitable, is premature. Although it would be the simplest thing for me to take away your bending right now, I won't. You'd only become a martyr. Benders of every nation would rally behind your untimely demise, but I assure you, I have a plan. And I'm saving you for last, then you'll get your duel, and I will destroy you."
