*Thirty Seconds*

The bright spotlight focused on the Pro-Bending ring. A circular platform raised out of the middle, bringing an announcer with it. He raised his arm quickly and brought the microphone up to his face. He pointed to his left, the red side of the ring.
"Introducing the Fire Ferrets!"
Loud screams and cheers rang out from the stands high above the players.
"Kya~! I love you Bolin!" "Let's go Mako!" and other various cries were heard.
"Remeber, knock the players off the BACK of the ring." Mako told Avatar Korra as they waved to the crowds. The announcer introduced the other team.
"Aaaand, on the other side of the ring, the Ferret's opponents, the RABBIROOS!" The announcer said, throwing his hand to his right, the blue half of the ring. Fan's cries were still heard, although none stood out as much as the ones for Mako and Bolin. There was no clear fan favorite-yet.
The teams set up with their Firebender in the middle, Earthbender to the right and Waterbender to the left. Mako again instructed Korra:
"Don't do anything stupid, like last time. This one is for the championship, don't forget that."
"I'll be FINE!" Korra replied angrily. The teams took up their fighting stances. The announcer went back under the floor.
"Ready?" his voice was heard over the loudspeaker. A bell rang. "GO!"
Mako instantly punched a fireball at the opposing Earthbender, and Bolin followed with an Earth disc, knocking him back into zone two. Meanwhile, Korra was blocking flames from the Rabbiroo's Firebender, and shooting water whips at the Waterbender.
"Help?" she called to Bolin and Mako, who weren't _REALLY_ celebrating the other player's loss, but we're still concentrating on him, leaving Korra two-on-one. Soon enough, it became too much and Korra was knocked back a zone.
"Korra?" Mako asked, glancing over his shoulder for a quick second, then realizing what had happened while turning back to the battle. "Sorry!" he called over his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, just fight!" Korra yelled back, and Mako winced. She was right. Korra was still intent on knocking back the other team's Firebender. She brought a larger gush of water than she had been using for her whips and shoved him back to zone two. Only the Waterbender was still in Zone one. Mako focused on him while Bolin and Korra used defense and protected both themselves and Mako from incoming attacks. Eventually, Bolin had had enough. He took a disc and threw it at the Waterbender. Mako got the hint and followed up with a few quick fire blasts. The buzzer sounded: the Fire Ferrets got the OK to move into Rabbiroo territory. Korra advanced back to the Ferret's zone One and began again. She was quickly targeted and most of the attacks were falling on her, she was growing weaker and weaker with every attack she was getting, and she knew it. So suddenly, when a triple attack came her way, both the announcer and Mako yelled
"She'd better watch out for that one!" and "KORRA!"
But Korra was too late. The Rabbiroo's tactic of wearing the Avatar out and then knocking her off the ring worked. The combined power of water, earth, and firebending flew Korra up in the air and she catapulted off the back of the ring, tumbling into the water.
"Idiot," Mako muttered under his breath. Bolin swear dropped as he glanced at Mako.
Without Korra, the Fire Ferrets were slowing down. Both Mako and Bolin were knocked into their zone one again before the buzzer sounded, ending the round.
"Round One goes to the Rabbiroos!" The announcer said as the scoreboard lit up blue. Korra re-entered the ring and they got into fighting stances.
"Sorry about last round," She apologized, mainly to Mako, who she knew would be furious. He only sighed.
"Well, do better this round."
"Round Two... BEGIN!" a bell sounded and Bolin immediately threw an Earth disc at the Rabiroo's Waterbender. He stumbled and the line between zones one and two lit up red.
"Wow, the Rabbiroo's Waterbender is already in Zone two, folks! This is going to be an interesting round."
Mako bent a fireball at the Earthbender, but he only used a disc to block it. Korra was whipping the Firebender. Suddenly, there were two buzzes from the zone lines. None of the Rabbiroos were off the back, neither was Mako...
Bolin was gone.
A splash was heard before the announcer proclaimed Bolin's decent off the ring. Mako sighed.
"Why does someone ALWAYS get knocked off?" he asked Korra, still focused on the match.
"No clue... WATCH OUT!" she screamed as an earth disc hit Mako and fire was thrown at him, shooting him back to zone three.
"WHAT?" he screamed, but a water whip was fast approaching. There was nothing he could do, no time to dodge...
The water was immediately redirected by Korra and re-used against the opposing Firebender.
"Is that against the rules?" "She wasn't penalized..." "Shouldn't that be a foul?" People argued in the stands.
The Firebender was now in zone Two, but Mako was in Zone three, Bolin out and the Rabbiroo's Waterbender was in Their zone one and so was Korra.
Mako was helping all he could- which wasn't very much from zone Three. An earth disc flew towards him, seemingly out of nowhere-
Mako flew out of the ring.
He screamed as he came up from the water, certain they were going to lose.
But Korra wouldn't let that happen.
Slowly, cheers for her grew audible and Korra broke out into a huge smile. Her adrenaline rushed and she was ready to fight.
"Avatar Korra! Avatar Korra!" the fans heard themselves saying. Even the Rabbiroo supporters were surprised to find themselves jumping up and joining in.
First Korra took care of the Earthbender- using repeated whips steadily forced him off the back of the ring. The Waterbender was slightly more difficult: they could disband most of Korra's attacks. She dodged the Firebender and sent a quick stream of water to the Rabbiroo's face, then hit him with many water whips and he too went toppling off the edge.
"Fire Ferret: Advance to Rabiroo Zone One!" the announcer cried, getting excited. Korra advanced, and the clock started again. Mako looked at it, worried.
He could only hope that thirty seconds was enough time.

Me: How do you like this story? All characters belong to Nickelodeon, but I own the story. If something similar happens in a future episode I'm sorry! :(
Going to add one more chapter to this, hopefully tomorrow. Look forward to it!
