(A/N): An attempt at creating the next Avatar after our dear Korra. Enjoy! I own my characters and story. I don't own real characters who appear now and later.

Citizens scream out in terror as the city crumbles amidst the chaos that unfolds in the streets. They call out for their loved ones, some darting away in the shadows as enemy rebels continue in destruction, all elements save for air aiding in their goal. Members of the Order of the White Lotus do their best to calm the situation, attempting to subdue the threat while saving innocent lives. Earth, fire, and water fly in masses to each side of the village once belonging to the mighty Earth Kingdom of long ago. Now believed to be a possible home of a new Avatar. After the mysterious disappearance of the previous Avatar, Korra, years ago, no one in the world had answers to all the questions that arose. Like before the Avatar had completed her training, Republic City's Council had once again tried to keep the peace, but even years after the Amon aftermath, nothing could have prepared them for this new threat. The threat now testing their power once again and on the primary earthbending village. The home of the six year-old girl sobbing from her hiding place amongst shipping crates where she had been told to go. That her family would meet her there soon, but no one came. The inhumane sounds and smells of the battle haunt her as she shuts her emerald eyes from the sights, though she still sees them plaguing in her terrified mind.

"Found you." A young boy's voice speaks before her as she gasps and opens her eyes to see him. A boy no older than her, his clothes of yellow and orange sticking out from her world of green and brown. Pale blue arrows twist around from exposed skin, and his calm grey eyes lock into hers.

"Aang?" The name slips off of her lips without her realizing, having maybe heard the word once in her short life. A faint smile plays off his, but he shakes his head as he peers around, a warning breeze of combat nearby.

"Follow me. You'll be safe soon." Is all he says as he starts off down the alley, a gust of wind curling around the girl. She shakily stands in confusion, the air supporting her to her feet and urging her to go on.

"Wait!" She calls for him as she desperately tries to keep up. Bare feet trip and she falls to the ground in a heap. She can see him stop, waiting for her to get back up and she does, so he continues down another corner and left up another. Her legs grow tired from running, knees and hands scraped each time they meet ground, but she never stops and he never lets her out of sight.

"This is it." The boy halts where he stands and she catches up. "You'll be safe now."

"What do you mean?" She asks him. "Where are you going?"

He says nothing, letting the shouts speak for him. Two men of opposing sides are nearby, and it won't be long until they arrive to their location. The boy turns away from their direction, and away from the girl's face.

"Will I see you again?"

He nods.

"I'm Chi. What's your name?"

He mouths a name, maybe even something else, but vanishes just as Chi's vision fails in the cloud of smoke that billows in from flame that eats away at more buildings. The two men are here, a non bender White Lotus, and an enemy with the gift of fire. The girl cries out as she ducks away from the fighters. The enemy sees her and uses it to his advantage to distract the OWL as he flings a ball of fire at her with a punch. Confused for a second, the OWL sees the man's target and launches himself at the girl, pushing both her and him out of harms way.

"You're a coward." The OWL scolds at the firebender, gently nudging Chi behind him as he stands. "All of you. The Avatar will live."

"Says you all who don't know who it is." The firebender spits out an ember that sizzles as it hits the earth. "Annihilation is the answer to the question. Which brat is it."

His golden eyes fall on Chi cowering behind the OWL's leg, his previous words reflecting off the dark yellow glow.

"Avatar or not, I won't allow you to harm her." The OWL places a protective arm on Chi's shoulder. "Or anyone else. The Order will put an end to you villains."

"Try me."

The last Chi sees is the volley of fists and fire, then black.
