Chapter 1

First day

Zaiko come on man it's time to go mako yelled at his brother. What are you yelling for im coming im coming zaiko sighed.

Avatar Zuma is dead and for those who don't know Zuma was the avatar after Korra. The world he left was like a grand kingdom. spirits and humans still lived peacefully….until a group called. G.W.O (global world ordeal) slowly began to take over. Zuma fought hard but he couldn't end their rain before he died. 113 years have passed since his death and now G.O.W has complete control over the entire world and not to mention Times have now shifted to a more modern time. The the earth bender times of stability are over. It's now time for the avatar of fire to start the war

. . .

The more i think about it the more i get jealous, mako says to zaiko. What are you talking about now zaiko replied. Dads a firebender and moms an airbender, you got Dads power and i got moms mako sighed. Hey man don't let that get you down at least your not the last airbender like avatar aang was zaiko said punching mako's arm playfully. Yeah true, i'd be freaking out that's a sad situation to be in mako it's time to go to twin crimson dragon high school zaiko complained. T.c.d high school is a school for benders & non benders. The school believes benders & non benders have no differences, which is why they put twin in the schools name. As the brothers strolled down the street towards the school they noticed all the lively activity. So this is the school zaiko said tiresome. these benders using their bendering uncontrollably mako said. Remember we're here to learn among benders & non benders, keep a low profile zaiko said we won't keep low for very long mako said. W-what do you mean zaiko said nervously. All classes are to demonstrate their bending abilities mako read from the paper. Where did you get that zaiko asked surprised. Don't worry about it mako said. Lets just go inside zaiko said.

. . .

Inside wasn't any better. Non benders were put into a separate group than the benders. As the non benders were taken to their classes only the benders remained. The room they were in was a colossal gym. A poster on the wall said capacity 950. Dang man it's like 550 benders mako said. Yea and if this gym can fit 950 people someones pockets are near empty. All firebenders go to rooms 106-115 earthbenders 116-125 airbenders 126-135 waterbenders 136-145 a woman's voice said off the loudspeaker. Zaiko looked his brother, well here we go wish me luck zaiko told his brother. Mako smirked with respect, and fisted bumped him, do we even need luck zaiko. Zaiko noticed the group of firebenders, a bunch of arrogant teens leaving the gym. Zaiko sighed, we might this time, then he joined his group.

. . .

The person who made the school had weird way for the classes, well at least to zaiko. As mako said there were at least 550 benders and judging by the big hord of firebenders there about 125 firebenders at most, and putting them into 6 different rooms wouldn't work because only 5 of the rooms would be full leaving an extra room. Zaiko decided to go to room 108, as he thought once seated the room was completely filled. Zaiko took a seat in the middle of the class. The class seats were put into rows of 5, 5 across and 5 down. Zaiko was sitting in the third row across & down. Alright everyone settle down a man's voice spoke. A man rose from flames from behind the teacher desk, i am mr stones i will be your teacher first hour he said. Heh, what a fiery entrance zaiko said. Got jokes huh zaiko, wanna go head to head mr stones said. N-no sir my apologies zaiko said. Well then, as i was saying everyone stand up he said. For what some kid asked. Just stand up mr stones said annoyed. Zaiko and the others did as they were told. Every first hour you are to pay your respects to avatar zuma mr stones told them. Zaiko and the others prayed to avatar zuma. While zaiko was doing his prayer he kept getting a small pinch in the back of his head. Alright time to start class take your seats, i'll tell you my rules and regulations mr stones said sternly. Zaiko sighed, he tucked his short black hair behind his ears. He looked around at his peers, he noticed a girl sitting in the front left corner of the classroom. She had caramel skin, and long black hair that went to the middle of her back, she had grey eyes with a bane covering her half of her left eye. She was wearing an all red half shirt with black pants. Zaiko's red eyes began to shake, she noticed him gazing and waved. Zaiko got a good look at her name tag. Terri-ann he said in his head, he then took his seat along with the others. First things first i don't deal with slacking off nor goofing off stones said looking every kid in the eye, if you have a problem the doors right there. Oh god if he's gonna be like this the whole class i'm not gonna make it zaiko thought

Mako realized that there were less airbenders than all the benders. Just like his brother each room holds 25 kids each, but only 4 of the classes were filled meaning only 100 benders. Mako was in room 129. The desk were placed in a circle around the classroom. Mako took the seat at the top of the circle. Hello children a woman's voice said. Mako looked up to see his mother floating from the sky. She seen him and put her finger over her lips signaling him not say anything and winked. My mom's the teacher, man i can't complain anyway mako thought. My name is ms kisama, before we start class, let's pay our respects to avatar zuma she said. The class prayed. Ok that's enough she said. So how about we introduce ourselves a mysterious person said. That sounds like a great idea ms kimase said why don't you go first since you gave the idea. Fine he said, my name is imura mirozaki. Excellent next….(everyone introduced themselves). That imura guy rubs me the wrong way mako said to himself. Mako put his head down and let his grey hair fall over his grey eyes. This is gonna be a long day he thought to himself.

. . .

The two siblings met up again at lunch. The lunch room was about the same size as the gym they were taken to earlier in the morning. There were banners for each element on each wall. Fire was on east, air on the west, water on the south and earth on the north. Mako walked in and seen his brother leaning on the wall to the right. Why haven't you gotten your lunch yet mako asked him. Zaiko looked at him and then pointed at the elemental banners around the room. Oh so basically they want us to sit with our element huh mako stated. Zaiko nodded. i'm guessing you're feeling rebellious mako said. Zaiko grinned and mako sighed. Well let's get lunch zaiko declared. They joined the huge cluster of kids lined up into four lines. Man they even serve us like that zaiko complained. Oh shut up i'll get my lunch and then join you mako told him. Once they both got their lunch just as mako said he came and he sat with him. Zaiko had looked at his food and tossed it into a trash can while making his way to the table. As he sat with mako he noticed terri-ann walking pass. He watched her in awe before turning around and noticing the look on mako face. Zaiko blushed, why am i getting that face he asked. Don't play stupid with me if you like her you like he said. leave it to you to say something say something like that zaiko laughed. Yep i'm your brother i'm gonna do that, besides we only have each other in the end. Yea true zaiko said and they fist bumped.

. . .

After the bell rang for lunch to end everyone left in hurry, but not zaiko he had already made himself a plan. He scanned the remaining people and prayed she didn't leave yet. Then he spotted her walking towards him and he met her halfway. Um hi terri-ann he spoke. Hi zaiko she responded with a warm smile. Zaiko was never good when it came to talking to females, he froze trying to think of what to say next. He unfroze when she laughed. She asked him for piece of paper. Zaiko took out a folded piece of paper out his front right pocket and handed it to her. She quickly wrote something on it and handed it to him. Zaiko looked at it with eyes full of amazement when he seen it was her number. She winked and said let's hang after school and left. less than a minute later a boy from zaikos first hour (which he only remember by face) walked up to him looking as if he zaiko had just punched his little brother. He grabbed zaiko by his shirt collar. Do you know who i am he growled. Yea someone whos gonna get if you don't let me go zaiko thought but instead he stayed quite. You really don't know who i am, well i'm yaiko mura, and i'm terri-ann's boyfriend. Now laughing didn't really help the situation, but zaiko couldn't help it the guy was funny. You won't be laughing after this, you me agni kai after school don't chicken out yaiko told him. He let go of his shirt, glared at him with anger one more time and then left. The only one who now remained in the lunchroom was zaiko. Man what drag he sighed pulling out his phone. He dialed a number and called it. It rang for 4 seconds and then a voice said hello. Yeah mako someone wants to fight already zaiko told him, then he filled him in.

For the rest of the day the entire school was buzzing about zaiko v.s yaiko, and when news got back to terri-ann… lets just say run. She was in the hallway and She called yaiko as soon got all the details from her friend toya. Hello yaiko spoke on the other end. Why are starting fights for no reason we haven't even been in school that long terri-ann asked anger deeply engraved in her voice. why does that guy have your number yaiko demanded to know. Terri-ann clenched her fist to restrain her anger, because i get a good vibe from him, and besides you're acting like im not a loyal women so why are you so angry she told him. Are you trying to tell me i have no reason to be angry yaiko said. I never said…...you know what bye i hate when you get like this she said and she hung up the phone. She sighed heavily and rubbed her temples. Girl are you ok toya asked concern deep in her dark blue eyes. terri-ann just stared at her and put her head down. I just really hope this doesn't get any worse than what it is terri-ann thought to herself.

Zaiko had told mako over the phone that he was going to fight, not because yaiko came at him, not because the reason stupid, he straight said he fighting for terri-ann. At first mako thought zaiko was fighting for her love, but when mako seen the look on her face as he walked past her and friend at the end of the day, that's when it clicked. He's gonna do what she wants to do right now, beat some sense in his skull mako thought to himself. The last bell rang and mako ran for the front door. He stood outside as hordes of kids flooded out of school like a dam hole. Yaiko and terri-ann walked past mako and him and terri-ann locked eyes for sec and then she kept walking Half the kids the left the school, and the other half formed a huge circle. Yaiko and terri-ann stood in the center. Mako hadn't even joined the crowd yet he was still standing by the door. Come on man where are you mako said out loud. 6 seconds later zaiko steps out the door his look tells mako he's ready. Dude are you sure? Mako asked. zaiko looked at him and grinned as he walked past him. I got this he told him

(point of view change)

Zaiko stepped of the last step and made his way towards the circle, and as he did He noticed that a lot of kids had their phones out to record. Typical zaiko thought. Once zaiko had entered the circle yaiko began to laugh. So you show up after all good i'm going to enjoy this. Terri-ann shook her head and joined a group of kids and mako did the got into stance. Hey let's make a deal yaiko sneered. zaiko followed by entering his stance, Shoot it zaiko told him. if i win, yaiko told him you can't be around or talk to terri-ann but if you win she is no longer my girlfriend. Zaiko gave him the thumbs up and Yaiko grinned. Begin the entire crowd called. Yaiko jabbed a fireball with his right hand, but zaiko simply side stepped and it shot past him and Behind him he heard a firebender defuse the fireball. Yaiko ran until he was 10 feet away, jumped,and sent a high power fire ball with his foot. Zaiko did something that surprised the crowd, he caught the ball with his right hand spinned and shoot it right back at him just as fast. Yaiko didn't have enough time to do anything except block, he raised his arms to protect himself and was blasted clean out of the air sending smoke into the air. Once the smoke cleared everyone could see the surprised look on yaiko face. I'm not going to go down that easily you'll have to do better than that zaiko said. Zaiko took a deep breath and this time he sent a fireball with his left hand. Yaiko ducked and charged. When he was knocked out of the air he was blown back into long range, he charged until he enter mid range and once again jumped into the air. Only this time he sent volleys of spin kicks creating multiple slashes of fire towards zaiko. Zaiko ran forward and the slash's hit the ground behind him. Yaiko landed back on the ground kneeled on one knee and glared at zaiko. He ran forward and when he got close enough to punch zaiko he swung his fist to burn zaiko up close. It's over now yaiko declared. Zaiko dropped his guard and sidestepped him easily then chopped yaiko in the back of the neck. On contact fire flared up for a sec and then yaiko fell to his knees. Man your way to sloppy zaiko said taking a deep breathe. H-how did this happen yaiko said to himself. Well a deal's a deal zaiko said your as single as a pringle he laughed. Yaiko clenched his fist and got to his feet. He swung his fist in attempt to strike but in mid swing and air blast pushed his back and mako walked into the middle of the circle. This battle was over once you fell, take this as a lesson don't let your pride get you embarrassed again mako said sternly. Zaiko heard everyone's phone make a ping noise which let him know no one was recording anymore. He looked around at everyone in the crowd there faces full of surprise and joy. Then mako tugged his arm. Um dude mako told him pointing behind him. Zaiko turned and seen terri-ann leaving the school grounds. Go man i'll handle things here mako told him crossing his arms. zaiko ran through the crowd of people in pursuit and behind him he heard his brother yell alright kids shows over go home!

. . .

Zaiko didn't mean to follow to follow her home but the way things played out it might have seemed like he did. Just as she crossed the street a block ahead of him he pulled out his phone and called her number. He seen her stop and pull out her phone to answer.

"Hello" he heard her voice say on the other line.

"Hey you turn around" zaiko said to her in a jokingly voice.

She turned and when she seen zaiko her expression went from shock to sad to happy all at once. When zaiko had finally caught up with her she rushed him with a tight hug.

"Zaiko i am so sorry" she told him. Zaiko good tell by the way she talked that she seriously didn't expect any of that to happen.

"Hey terri you don't have to say-

Zaiko was stopped by intense throbbing in his head he grabbed his head and shrieked in pain. Terri-ann gasped and kneeled next to him.

"Zaiko are you ok"

Then to her surprise his eyes turned white and he spoke at many voices at once.

"The cycle continues"

And with that his eyes changed back to normal as he passed out right into terr-ann's arms.

Terri-ann quickly took zaiko's phone and called the contact labeled mako. The phone rang for about 5 seconds before someone picked up.

"Um hello is mako this is terri-ann yaiko's ex zaiko's knocked out
