-I Wish-

Kuvira's whole body spasmed in pain... she could barely move... the forest was enveloped in a dull purple glow as the Spirit Cannon swung towards her prone form. She barely had time to think-let alone attempt to move away from the weapon- as the cannon fired straight at her. She let out a soft and painful gasp, she was going to be blasted by her own weapon, a weapon she had created to satisfy her thirst for uniting the Earth Kingdom... No... The weapon was merely a way to demonstrate the power she had acquired. The United Republic never needed to be a part of the Earth Empire. The weapon merely showcased her unquenchable thirst for power, power that she did not even need.

The thud of footsteps echoed in her ears and before she could blink was in front of her, "Korra?" Her eyes widened, why was the Avatar saving her. Leaving her to die would have solved the problem. Kuvira would be dead and everyone would be happy... but Korra stepped into the line of fire anyway, her eyes glowing a blinding white as she energy-bent the Spirit beam. Arms outstretched, the Avatar stopped the purple beam from touching Kuvira.

A pinkish -purple dome began to form around the two of them as Korra grunted, the energy behind the weapon nearly too much for her to be able to handle. The sphere of energy began to expand as it began to envelop the center of the spirit wilds and before anyone knew what was happening, the city was impacted with a powerful explosion.

Dust and debris was sent into the air as suddenly the energy shot back to the epicenter of the explosion. All seemed calm for a second before a bright flash of light blinded the onlookers, a beam of energy shooting into the sky. A new spirit portal had opened in the middle of Republic City...

Opening her eyes, Korra was gazing at a purple reflection of herself with its eyes closed. Eventually, the image rippled and a reflection of Kuvira took its place. The void they were in faded out of existence and suddenly Korra felt herself falling... no… She was gently floating to the ground. She looked around for a moment... They were in the spirit world!

Kuvira never felt as cold as when she felt the light engulf her prone form, she felt like the weak and helpless eight year old girl Suyin had found in the alleyway, attempting to steal a couple of fruits from a roadside vendor to sate her hunger. Su had taken Kuvira to her home, nurtured her and how did she repay her adoptive mother? She forced Suyin and her sons to bow to The Great Uniter. She killed Suyin's son, her -fiancee- Kuvira captured Suyin's beloved city of Zaofu... she was a disgrace… the power got to her head. Her vision of a united Earth Kingdom clouded her judgment… she didn't deserve the Avatar saving her from the hell she brought herself to. She felt like she deserved worse than death!

Kuvira suddenly felt like she was falling, a pair of soft arms embrace her as they slowly floated to the ground, a feeling of warmth seeped into her, she felt arms embrace her tighter as she leaned into the comforting grip of whoever was holding her, driving away the bitter cold she felt herself lost in.

She slowly opened her eyes, not wanting the feeling of contentedness to leave her being. Her pale lifeless emerald orbs met a striking sea blue. She leaped away from Korra.

"What happened?" She blurted out, somehow already missing the warmth the Avatar gave off, "Are we dead?" She had no problem if she herself had passed into the afterlife, but the world needed the Avatar. She couldn't have been dead, the world was thrown into too much imbalance because of her own actions. If they were truly dead then- Kuvira had a hard time picturing what would happen to the physical world. Korra was in her Avatar state when she stopped the Spirit weapon, was the Avatar lineage gone?

Her musings were cut off by Korra soft words that gave her a semblance of hope, "No... we're okay." she said in a relieved tone, "But we are in the spirit world. All the energy from your weapon tore open a new portal and blasted us in." Kuvira stared at the Avatar dumbfounded. What had just happened would be nearly impossible to replicate, not many people can go around, claiming to have opened a gateway into the Spirit World.

She swallowed the lump in her throat, "Why would you save my life?! After everything I did to you!" She exclaimed tearfully, truly wanting to know the reason why the Avatar had saved her life.

Korra sighed, "I see myself in you" was all she said assuming that was all that was needed to be said.

"We are nothing alike!" Kuvira spat spitefully, Korra was a hero, she was just a War Criminal, a tyrant who deserved to rot in a prison isolated from the rest of the world. Korra restored balance to the world while she had just driven it to ashes in her quest for power. For what it was worth... Kuvira was willing to surrender, knowing what she had been doing had been wrong. "Yes we are..." Korra argued with her, firmly believing her resolve, "We are both and determined to succeed... sometimes without thinking..."

Korra took a seat beside the metal-bender, both too tired to do much else other than rest their aching selves. Leaning back, Korra made herself comfortable on the soft flowers they were on. Kuvira's heart-rate sped up as Korra snuggled closer to her, she let out a cute yawn, hugging the other female tighter semiconsciously, sending a deep scarlet shooting to Kuvira's cheeks. 'Not even Baatar made me feel this way... Am I..? Do I..? Do i like Korra?'

The fatigue took its toll on her, her head slumped slightly as she snuggled closer to Korra, her face heating up as she gazed into the pools of sapphire she never noticed until that very moment, Korra just stared into Kuvira's pools of pale emerald as she yawned again, "Good night..."

"Korra..?" Kuvira whispered softly, not wanting to disturb the Avatar, "Please forgive me... I was a fool... I- help me find Redemption" Kuvira slowly dozed off, 'I wish I could erase whatever I did in the past three years...'

Kuvira did not however, hear the other female whisper, "I already did... Kuvira... The moment you realized what you did was wrong... I knew there was still hope for you" her eyes closed as well, basking in the warmth the unconscious form of Kuvira emitted, "I wish we had met in different circumstances, we could have been best friends... or more... Maybe?"

Well here is my first legend of Korra fanfiction after an uncertain amount of time with me being indecisive, on whether to write a Naruto fic or a Percy Jackson fic, I got this Idea into my head after watching the last episode of the series.

This can either be considered a oneshot, or you guys can wait for the next chapter which... Distorts... Things... AND REALITY AND SH!T GOES DOWN... Oops caps... Really though, *Spoiler Alert* time-travel is abound... With me being an absolute fanatic of time travel stories...*End Alert*

Well not much to say here except that the chapters will be around this length, give or take a few words, well... Unless i feel like i need to make up for lost time and i just speed through five episodes worth of content in one paragraph...

Point out grammar errors and stuff...

Swearing will be a minimum in this fic...

I am just listing off random points now...

BYE I guess...

KAPLAM!
