A/N: Ok, I know I said I wouldn't do this due to lack of quality episodes, but I decided, screw it, and am trying to make it work with my computer. This is a great series, so I want to do my best with it, and as such, any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome. Also, I'll be doing separate stories for each of the 4 seasons, and Kanan will probably become more and more important throughout each of them. Finally, doesn't that opening sequence just get you so pumped? :D

Chapter 1: Welcome to Republic City.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Earth. Fire. Air. Water.

When I was a boy, my Father, Avatar Aang, told me the story of how he and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War. Avatar Aang, and Fire Lord Zuko, transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations; a society where benders and non-benders, from all over the world, could live and thrive together, in peace, and harmony.

They named the capital of this great land, Republic City.

Avatar Aang achieved many remarkable things in his life, but sadly, his time in this world came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar, began anew.

Flashback

The young boy woke up suddenly, feeling some chi he didn't recognize. He got out of the bed he and his twin sister shared, and walked over to the living room, finding his Mom and Dad. The Mom was the first to notice her son.

"Kanan, what are you doing up?" She asked.

"I felt some strangers coming here." Spoke up the now named Kanan, rubbing his eyes. "I can't tell if they're benders or not." His Dad stood up and turned to his wife.

"It's probably the White Lotus. Go wake Korra." He said. Mom nodded and took Kanan's hand.

"Come on, let's wake your sister." She smiled. Kanan nodded and followed her back into his bedroom. Korra was still sprawled on the bed, and snoring as ever. "Korra, wake up." Mom tried shaking her awake, but it was in vain. Kanan's sister just turned over and mumbled something about kicking butt. The awake sibling simply rolled his eyes and spoke up.

"You get to bend." He said. She shot up like a deer-cat who sensed danger.

"When?" She asked. Mom just chuckled.

"Soon. Just give us time to clean up and show some guests inside." She said. Korra impatiently nodded her head. Their Mom turned to her son. "Kanan, you stay here with your sister." He nodded and sat on the twin's bed. The woman went back into the living room and started cleaning up quickly. Korra kept shifting around on the bed, and eventually got off and paced around the room.

"Will you calm down?" Kanan muttered, even knowing that it was a futile question. Before she could reply, the two heard their Mom call them from the other room.

"Korra, Kanan, please come in here." She said. Korra grinned, and it was the grin that promised shock and possible pain, before turning to the wall and bending it forward like a cannon. Kanan sighed as she walked forward.

"I'm the Avatar; you got to deal with it." She said. Her brother got off the bed and walked through the hole she made, seeing her splashing some water on to one of the stranger's coats, and then she began bending three of the four elements in succession. The large stranger turned to the parents.

"Well, that confirms your daughter is the Avatar, but your son was also included in your letter. Can he bend the 4 elements as well?" He asked. The Father chuckled and turned to his son.

"Kanan, which of them is a Waterbender?" He asked. The three strangers each looked confused, while Kanan closed his eyes and concentrated. When he opened his eyes, Kanan pointed at the large one, the right one, and the left one in succession.

"Waterbender, Firebender, and Non-bender," He said. The three of them looked shocked, while Korra smirked and Mom chuckled. "Your chi feels different," He said. The large one put his hands together, hidden by his robes.

"Well, that settles that," He said.

Flashback End

Southern Water Tribe, 170 AG

"Kanan. Kanan!" Kanan was woken up, hearing someone yelling at him. He opened his eyes to see his twin sister looking down at him.

"What? Did Nala eat something she wasn't supposed to again?" He asked. Korra looked at her brother shocked.

"Don't you remember? It's our Firebending test today; we have to get to the arena." She said. Kanan sighed and got up. "Besides, Nala's right here." Looking to his left, Kanan saw his spirit partner looking at him with what he knew was a slightly betrayed face.

"You know you would." He said simply. As he moved to get on her, Nala hit her partner in the head with her tail, making him look at her in deadpan. Nala was a massive snow leopard with grey and black fur, and one of the people Kanan would trust with his life in a heartbeat. Once Korra got on Naga, we set off towards the training arena. The twins looked almost identical, as most twins do, with the same hair and eye colour, overall similar body shape, as Kanan does look more feminine than most guys, and the pair were around the same height, with her being just a few millimetres taller than her brother, and never lets him forget it. Kanan was wearing an ankle length Water Tribe coat, with a Water Tribe necklace that used to belong to his mother, and two water pouches attached to his waist. If you try to tell him he doesn't need them in the South Pole, the response will always be the same; better to be safe than sorry. The group soon got to the arena, and Kanan got off of Nala, with Korra getting off Naga. They (reluctantly) brought their spirit partners to the animal pen and went to get the training gear. It was red for some reason and was most likely made in the Fire Nation to be resistant to fire. Korra turned to her brother.

"You ready for this?" She asked with a smirk. Kanan smiled lightly.

"Who knows? You're the one with the bending skill." He replied. Suddenly Kanan felt an arm pull him down and to the side. Korra had her brother in a headlock.

"Oh, buck up already. I may have the bending, but you've got all that spiritual stuff down pat. Besides, you're not that far behind me, and you're one of the best Waterbenders I've ever seen." She said. Kanan was gonna smile until she started giving him a knuckle rub on his head. Then, Kanan bent some of the nearby ice and made it splash into her head with enough force to knock her back, and free himself from her headlock.

"Will you EVER stop doing that?" He asked vainly.

"Nope." She said. Kanan rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless.

"Also, I'm one of the ONLY Waterbenders either of us has seen." He replied. They both smiled sadly at that. Trapped in this fortress without any contact with the outside world, it could make anyone stir crazy. With that thought, the twins got into the training gear and walked up to the arena. They were greeted by the same White Lotus members who were there the day they were presented as the newest Avatar(s), their Firebending teacher, and Katara, the wife of their predecessor Aang. Kanan always enjoyed her stories. Katara smiled at them and seemed to have a nostalgic look in her eye when she saw Kanan, which he assumed was because she remembered training Aang.

"Good to see you two again, Korra, Kanan," She said. The twins both bowed out of respect.

"Same to you, Katara," Kanan replied, smiling at her. "After this, do you have any other stories for me?" She chuckled.

"Unfortunately you've already heard almost all the ones I can recall." She said. Kanan was actually very upset about that. Katara was an excellent storyteller, and hearing about Aang's adventures would help both him and Korra in my decision making on important Avatar business. Then one of the White Lotus members spoke up.

"We should get this underway. We have three tests to perform, so we'll have to get the arena cleaned between each of them." He said. Korra and Kanan nodded. This was how it always went. There was one test each for Kanan and Korra separately, then a final one to test their skill together. In all honesty, the teachers felt sorry for anyone who has to fight them together. Kanan was up first, and three Firebenders stood across from him. One shot a blast of fire at the Avatar first, but he ducked under it, and shot a blast at the legs of another, surprising him. Before it hit, he was able to jump, but before Kanan could launch another attack, the center one fired at Kanan himself, forcing him to cartwheel out of the way.

As he did, Kanan sent a wave of fire at all three of them, but they just bent it out of the way. Deciding to put more force behind his attacks now, Kanan sent a large stream of fire at all three of them. They all dodged out of the way, but Kanan jumped forward and kicked a powerful blast at each of them. Two managed to evade the strike, but one of them got blown back. The other two shot fire at Kanan while he was in the air, but he bent it and sent it straight back at them. They dodged, and when he landed, Kanan charged at the one closest to him. The tester shot three blasts of fire at Kanan, but he ducked each one until he reached his opponent. Kanan grabbed his arm, threw him over his shoulder, and kicked a blast of fire at him, sending him flying.

Kanan was forced to lean back to avoid a fire blast from the final tester. Backflipping three times, Kanan then spun in midair and kicked a wave of fire at him. It hit, sending him flying. When he landed, Kanan got back into a fighting stance immediately, only to see the three testers on the ground groaning. He relaxed his stance and turned back to others.

"How was that?" He asked, taking off the helmet. Korra cheered.

"That was awesome! You took them down in nothing flat." She practically yelled. Kanan smiled up at her until their teacher coughed.

"That was impressive Kanan, but now it is your sister's turn." He said. Kanan did a small Fire Nation bow to him, and went up to the stands, clapping Korra's hand along the way. Once the arena was finished being cleaned, and three new testers came out, Korra's test was underway. As usual, she focused on her pure force, and Kanan actually cringed when she sent one guy flying into the roof above us. Katara spoke up.

"She's strong." She said, and everyone had to agree with her. One of the White Lotus members spoke up as well.

"But she lacks restraint." He said. Kanan joined in, scoffing.

"I don't think she knows what that is. And besides, that's why I'm with her." He said. Korra finally sent the last one flying back, and he soon collapsed on the floor.

"Two tests down, one to go." Said Korra. Kanan smiled. 'I don't think she's been this excited since the last test.' He stood up.

"You ready for this?" Kanan asked, mirroring her earlier words. She smirked.

"Definitely." She replied. The skinny White Lotus member with the glasses spoke up now.

"Maybe so, but we still have to clean up the arena, and, find new sparring partners for the two of you." She said. The group looked back to see the Firbenders all groaning, even more than the ones who fought Kanan. The male Avatar turned to Korra.

"Did you have to go full force on them?" He asked. She just rubbed the back of her head, while chuckling sheepishly. After 15 minutes, the arena was cleaned once again, and the twins were both on the field back to back, this time facing twelve testers. Korra chuckled.

"Well, looks like they learned from last time." She said.

"Shall we?" Kanan said. Korra grinned, and we got to work.

Simply put, the twins had demolished them.

Korra and Kanan were in perfect sync, dodging around each other's fire without even looking, and combining their attacks to take out multiple people at once. Typically, when you add one person to fight on either side, it just adds to the overall group's strength. But when these two work together, it multiplies that number. When the twins shot a blast of fire at the final 4 benders, it took them all out at once. Immediately after, Korra cheered. Kanan could tell by the looks on their faces that the White Lotus and our teacher weren't happy with that. As she ran up to them, Korra spoke up, laughing.

"Hey, why all the doom and gloom people?" She said, taking off her helmet. Kanan did the same but walked up to them. "We should be celebrating. 3 elements down, 1 to go." Now their teacher spoke up.

"You're getting ahead of yourself, as usual, Korra." He said. "We haven't decided if you both have passed your Firebending test yet." Then the head Lotus member spoke up.

"Ever since you were a little girl, you've excelled at the physical side of bending, but completely ignored the spiritual side. At least your brother has an understanding of both." He said. Kanan slightly glared at him. If physical bending doesn't come as naturally to him, but it does to Korra, then it should be clear that it would be the opposite for Spiritual Bending. Korra looked down at the ground. Kanan spoke up.

"It just doesn't come as easily to her as it does to me, so suck it up and be patient." Growled Kanan. They all backed away slightly, while Katara just chuckled. Every one of them knows not to mess with Korra because Kanan will (literally) rain hellfire down on them. The same goes for anyone who messes with him. Korra would beat them within an inch of their lives. They're twins, they stick together. Korra looked at her brother thankfully, before looking back at the council.

"He's right, which is why I should start training with Tenzin immediately. He's mister spiritual." She said. The White Lotus leader turned to Katara.

"Do you believe they're ready, Master Katara?" He asked.

"Yes. If anyone can teach them what they need to learn, it's Tenzin," She replied. Both Korra and Kanan looked at each other, smiling hugely. The White Lotus leader turned to us.

"Very well. Korra, Kanan, it's time for you to begin your Airbending training," He said. The twins jumped in joy, and Korra was cheering.

"Yes! Finally!" She said. They looked at the Council to see them staring at them, and the two immediately straightened their postures. Korra coughed. "I mean. Thank you all for believing in us."

"Now if you'll excuse us, we have a polar bear dog and a snow leopard to talk to," Kanan smiled. Korra and her brother turned towards the animal pen and started walking, but soon enough, their excitement got the better of them both, and they practically sprinted all the way over there. Korra was the first one down, and she all but ran into Naga.

"Naga! You should've seen it. We kicked some Firebender butt, and we passed!" She said. Kanan ran in and kneeled in front of Nala, and started petting her in her favourite spot behind her ear. She began purring contently.

"She's right. Tenzin will be here in a few days, and then we officially start our Airbending training," He continued. Then, he got an idea. Turning to Korra, Kanan spoke up. "Want to take the girls out for a stroll, to celebrate?" He asked. Judging by her resulting smile, it was clear she was on board. After the two got changed and put on the girl's saddles, they went towards the gate. Looking up at the tower guard, Korra spoke up.

"Just taking them out for a stroll," She said. When the guard looked conflicted, Kanan huffed.

"Don't worry, we won't be gone long, and we won't go too far," He said in annoyance. The guard finally turned around, and the gate opened soon after. Kanan smiled widely. This was the closest either of them could get to actual freedom, but it still felt incredible having the wind flow through your hair. "Go, Nala," She sped up, with Naga and Korra keeping pace. Kanan looked over at them and smiled slyly. He leaned down to Nala's ear, whispered something, and then she practically bolted. Very few animals could match a snow leopard's speed, especially in its natural habitat. Kanan could hear Korra shouting at us, but he just laughed, until something made Nala trip over, sending them both flying into the snow. Kanan spat the snow out of his mouth, and as he wiped himself clean, he looked over to see Nala just rolling around in the snow. "You're certainly enjoying this, aren't you?" He muttered. Korra than rode up, and was laughing like she had something to do with tripping Nala.

"That was awesome." She said. "Maybe you don't need to learn how to Airbend. I mean, you can already fly," She said, in between laughs. Kanan scowled at her, before smirking evilly. He bent a little bit of snow into his hand and then launched it at her hard enough to throw her off of Naga. When she finally got out of the snow, she saw that her twin brother had bent hundreds of snowballs into the air and that his smirk hadn't left. "Uh oh."

'Too late to apologize, sister,' Thought Kanan. And that was how they spent the rest of the day; playing with their spirit partners, and having, quite possibly, the greatest snowball fight in history.

A few days later, Tenzin was finally due to arrive, and the duo hadn't gotten dressed so quickly since the time Mom made her seal lion dumplings. Seriously; you haven't had South Pole cooking until you've had her dumplings. Korra and Kanan stood near the place where Tenzin would land, and the two soon saw a large Sky Bison coming in.

"They're here," Kanan muttered excitedly. When they got close, the group on the ground could hear the excited rambling of a kid.

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? It looks like we're here. I know this, this is very familiar. Are we here yet? Are we here yet? Ooh please, tell me we're here," Said the voice. Kanan chuckled as he walked up.

"Yes, Ikki. As I've been telling you for the past 15 minutes, we are, finally, here," Said a voice Kanan easily recognized as Tenzin's. As he walked down, two kids Airbent down the bison's tail; and Kanan saw something that looked like a kid gnawing on their soon to be teacher's head. He deduced that to be Meelo "Hello mother. I can't tell you how happy I am to see you," Then he whispered. "Please, help me," Katara chuckled as she grabbed Meelo off of Tenzin's head. Meelo struggled to get out of her grip.

"Unhand me strange woman," He said. Tenzin spoke up.

"That's your grandmother, Meelo," He said. Meelo stopped struggling, before flipping out of Katara's grip, landing behind her, and running off.

"It's so good to see all of you," Said Katara. Then, another girl, who must have been Jinora, walked up to Katara.

"Gran-Gran, I've been reading all about your old adventures. I've been dying to ask you. What happened to Zuko's mom?" She asked. 'Crap. I never thought to ask her about that one.' Thought Kanan. The Water Tribesman was basically a blur as he sped over there, sitting in the snow.

"I've never heard this one. What did happen?" He asked. Katara smiled.

"Well, it's an incredible tail-" She was interrupted by another girl leaping up in front of us.

"Gran-Gran, you look old. How old are you? And why is it so cold in the South Pole? Can we make a campfire and huddle around it and-" Ikki was interrupted by Kanan Waterbending some ice onto her lips.

"Please, continue," He said. Katara looked shocked for a moment, before looking behind me. Then she started smiling.

"Actually Kanan. I have a test for you," She said. Kanan was confused, and slightly disappointed, but followed her as she walked over to Tenzin and a pregnant woman.

'That must be his wife, Pema,' He thought. Katara gave the woman a hug, before gesturing Kanan over.

"I want you to tell me if this child will be a bender or not," Nodding, Kanan walked over, took off a glove, and moved to put his hand on Pema's belly.

"May I?" He asked. She nodded, smiling. Kanan put his hand on her belly and closed his eyes. It was tough to distinguish the baby's chi from hers, but Kanan managed it without any problems. The male Avatar opened his eyes. "He's going to be an Airbender. His chi is rather strong," The others looked shocked at his display before Pema groaned.

"All I want is one child like me. A nice, non-bender; who doesn't blast wind in my face every five seconds," She said. Then she looked back at him. "Wait, did you say he?" Kanan nodded.

"It's tough to tell at this stage, but I'm fairly certain it's a boy," He replied. Tenzin turned to his student.

"If it's no trouble, could you take the ice off of Ikki's mouth? I think her lips are turning blue," He said. Kanan turned around to see Ikki glaring at him with her arms crossed, and Jinora giggling softly to the side.

"Can you promise not to interrupt anymore of Katara's stories?" He asked her. Ikki nodded, and every second Kanan didn't say anything her nod got stronger and faster. "Ok," He bent the ice off her mouth, and she immediately ran off, presumably to find something hot. Then the group heard Meelo call out to them.

"Mommy, look!" We turned over to see him covered in snow. "I'm a Snowbender!" He said, blasting the snow away with a gust of wind. Most of it got in Pema's head, and she shook it off.

"Is that what you were talking about?" Kanan asked. She nodded, sighing. Kanan turned to Meelo. "Actually kid, that would be Waterbending, if you didn't just blow it away with Airbending," Meelo stomped over to the older boy.

"No, it's Snowbending," He said.

"Waterbending."

"Snowbending!"

"Waterbending."

"Snow!"

"Water."

"Snow!"

"Trust me, kid, I grew up with Korra. I can do this all day," Kanan said, rolling his eyes.

"Snow!" Continued Meelo. Kanan sighed.

"Snow," He said, inwardly smirking.

"Water!" Meelo replied.

'Works every time,' Thought the Avatar in training. "See? You agree with me," Kanan said, chuckling. Meelo looked shocked for a moment before huffing and running back to his sisters. Kanan looked to the others to see Tenzin and Pema staring at him in pure shock. "What?"

"How did you do that?" Pema asked. Kanan shrugged.

"Like I said, I grew up with Korra," He replied. "Imagine Meelo, but using 3 elements," Pema turned to Katara.

"Were Tenzin and his siblings this crazy when they were kids?" She asked the Waterbender.

"Kya and Bumi certainly were, but Tenzin has always been, rather serious," She said. Tenzin looked annoyed.

"Mother, please," He said. Then he looked behind her. "Korra?" Kanan looked back to see his sister run over to the group. Kanan walked over and stood next to her. "Look at you. Both you and Kanan have become so big and strong," He said, putting his hand on the twin's shoulders. "You've grown into quite the young Avatars," Kanan chuckled.

"Master Tenzin, We're so glad you're here, we can't wait to get started," Said Korra. Tenzin looked down, and Kanan felt terrible news was coming.

"Yes, well…" He sighed. Pema spoke up.

"You're gonna have to tell them sooner or later," She said. Korra looked confused, but her brother had figured it out.

"Wait, tell us what?" Said Korra. Kanan spoke up.

"You're not staying, are you?" He said, sadly. Tenzin sighed once again.

"I'm afraid not. We're only visiting for the night; then I have to return to Republic City," He said. Korra was shocked.

"What? No, you're supposed to move here, you're supposed to teach us," She said. Kanan joined in.

"That's right. Airbending is the most spiritual of all the 4 elements, it may be the only one I can actually, master, other than Waterbending. Please, at least take us with you," Kanan was practically pleading with Tenzin to take him and Korra. The Airbender just shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Korra, Kanan. Your Airbending training is going to have to wait," He said. Kanan clenched his fist.

A few hours later, the trio were all sitting down for dinner, with the White Lotus leader joining them. Kanan was still angry, and Korra wasn't giving up.

"So, how long until you're ready to teach us Airbending?" She asked. "A week? A month?" Tenzin looked over to the twins.

"It; could be much longer," He said. Kanan spoke up but didn't take his eyes off the table.

"I don't understand. Why are you making us wait?" Kanan asked.

"I have a responsibility to Republic City. I'm one of its leaders, and the situation there is very unstable right now," Tenzin replied.

"But you also have a responsibility to teach the next Avatar," Countered Korra. "Believe me, I don't know about Kanan, but I'd be happy to find another Airbending master, but you're the only one."

"We're stuck with each other," Kanan continued, with Korra nodding.

"I wish there were another way," Tenzin said.

"Like I said, you can take us with you, to Republic City," Kanan told him. Korra joined in.

"That's a great idea. That way you can train us, AND help Republic City. It's perfect," She said. The Council leader just slammed his hand on the table.

"Absolutely not. The city is far too dangerous. Avatar Aang tasked us with keeping you safe while you mastered the 4 elements," He said. Kanan lost it.

"I don't think the included locking us up here like prisoners!" He growled, slamming his hand on the table hard enough to crack it. The male Avatar got up and stormed out. He got to his room and slammed the door. After a few minutes of calming himself down, Kanan sat down and started meditating. Soon enough, he felt like he was being pulled towards something, but before it could really grab hold of him, Kanan was interrupted by a voice from behind.

"I thought I could lose my temper," He heard his sister say. Kanan opened his eyes and smirked at her.

"I may not be as obvious as you, but I can certainly get angry," He replied, twisting out of the Lotus position and turning to her in one smooth motion. She chuckled, before sighing sadly.

"What do you think we should do? I mean, how are we going to learn Airbending, if Tenzin won't teach us?" She asked. Kanan looked down.

"I don't know," He said and then turned to her. "Let's sleep on it, and we may have a plan by tomorrow," She nodded, the two shared their goodnights, and then she set off to her room. Kanan sighed and sat down on his bed. "What are we going to do?" He asked himself, before getting ready for bed.

Kanan woke up hours later, to see the sun pouring into his window. 'Can't the sun just stay out of my side of the house?' He thought, grudgingly getting up. As he got dressed, Kanan heard a knocking on his door. He put his coat on and opened the door. It was Korra.

"Are you ready to say goodbye to Tenzin?" She asked. Her brother sighed.

"Not really," He said. Korra looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Want to take Naga and Nala out for a ride?" She asked her twin, smiling. Kanan returned it.

"Absolutely," He replied. The two got their spirit partners and took a ride out to the North facing cliffs. A few minutes later, they saw a Sky Bison fly by. Kanan was sitting in the snow leaning against Nala, who rubbed her cheek against her partners own. Kanan smiled softly and started petting the other side of her face. He saw Korra get off Naga and sit next to him. Then, she began tapping her fingers against her brother's knee in their own code. Once he figured out her plan, Kanan smiled. 'Perfect.'

A few hours later, the twins snuck into the animal pens and grabbed Nala and Naga's saddles. Before they could completely set up, however, the two were interrupted.

"Nice night for an escape; isn't it?" They turned to see Katara watching them. Korra walked forward.

"We have to leave. We both have to find our own path as the Avatar," She said. Kanan stood beside her. Katara smiled.

"I know you do," She said. The twins were surprised before they smiled at her. "Aang's time has passed. My brother; and many of my friends are gone. It's time for you two and your generation to take over responsibility of keeping peace and balance in the world," She walked forward and put a hand on both their cheeks. "And I think you're going to be great Avatars," The twins smiled sadly, and, nodding to each other, leaned down to hug her.

"Thank you," Kanan muttered.

"Goodbye, Korra, Kanan," She said. A few minutes later, the two Avatars managed to make a tunnel under the compound using Kanan's Waterbending and Korra's Earthbending. Once they were far enough away, the two got to the surface. Naga and Nala shook off the snow, and they set off. Kanan turned to Korra.

"Should we go see Mom and Dad before we leave?" He asked. She nodded. Soon enough, the twins got to our old home, before they were taken in by the White Lotus. They walked up to the door, and Kanan knocked. A couple of seconds later, the door opened, and they heard their Mom's voice.

"Yes? Who-" She stopped when she saw who it was. She immediately smiled and turned to the inside. "Tonraq, come out. We have guests," She said. Soon after, their Dad, Tonraq walked up.

"Who is it, Senna?" He asked, before seeing Korra and Kanan. "It's so good to see you two again," He said, smiling. Everyone had huge smiles on our faces, as the twins ran into the hut, hugging their parents.

"We can't stay long," Kanan said.

"That's right. We're leaving for Republic City, and we don't want the White Lotus to catch us," Korra continued.

"That's fine. We got to see you again, and this is enough time," Said Senna. "But at the very least, let me pack you some food for the journey," The twins nodded. There was no way either of them could pass on their Mom's cooking. A few minutes later, Korra and Kanan had all our food packed, and were about to head off to Republic City. The family had one final hug before leaving.

"Mom, Dad. We'll miss you," Said Korra. Senna spoke up.

"We love you both so much," She said. Tonraq joined in.

"Take care of each other," He said. The kids nodded and then got on Naga and Nala. A few hours later, they snuck onto a ship heading to Republic City, stashing themselves behind crates to keep out of sight as best they could. Korra was grinning the entire way, and Kanan shared it.

"What do you think Republic City will be like?" Korra spoke up. Kanan chuckled.

"No idea. Hopefully, it's not too chaotic on the first day," He smiled, not realizing he had just jinxed them both.

Republic City, a few days later

Kanan woke up in the morning, and for once the sun wasn't glaring at him from the window, this time it was facing Korra. Kanan looked out the window, and instantly gained a huge smile on his face.

They were here.

Kanan ran over to his sister and shook her awake. She just mumbled up at him.

"No Mom, I don't want to clean the igloo. Let Kanan do it," She said. Kanan rolled his eyes, chuckling lightly.

"Thankfully, there's no igloo for either of us to clean this far North. We're here," He said. She bolted up with a huge smile on her face and ran to the window. She stood there for a couple seconds, most likely in awe, before running back and waking up Naga. As she did, Kanan did the same to Nala. "Wake up girl; we're at the City now."

"…[Growl]…" She just groaned and tried to remain asleep. Kanan smirked and got close to her ear.

"I'll get you some fish when we get to the temple." He whispered. She perked up instantly. A few minutes later they were near the door, and when it opened the twins were both briefly blinded by the sudden light. They got on their respective partners, and then they all rode out of the ship, and into the big city. As the group passed the crew, Korra called out to them.

"Thanks for the ride," She yelled. Kanan laughed at all their dumbfounded expressions, before focusing on the road. They came upon a cliff, with a view of a giant bridge connecting our current location, and the enormous skyscrapers on the other end. "Wow."

"Look at this place," Kanan said, in awe of the spectacle.

"I've never seen so many Satomobiles," Korra said. Her brother chuckled.

"Or people, or buildings, or actual ground," He said, smiling. She chuckled as well.

"You know what I mean," She said. Kanan smiled softly.

"Yeah. I do," Said Kanan. Once the twins were halfway across the bridge, they stopped, and looked to the side, seeing the massive statue of Avatar Aang, their predecessor. This entire city was possible because he, Katara, and so many others fought and defeated Fire Lord Ozai. Kanan inclined his head in respect. Then he heard Korra speak up from his side.

"Air Temple Island," She said. Kanan followed her gaze to the island to the right of the statue.

"That's where Tenzin lives," He said. She nodded, and pet Naga on the head.

"You ready for a little swim girl?" She asked. Kanan looked at her in shock.

"That's how you plan to get there? You do know Nala will not go near ocean water, right?" He asked. She shrugged.

"I figured you could just bend the water into ice, and she could run across it," She said. Before Kanan could respond with how improbable that was, Nala put her head up and started sniffing the air.

"What's up girl?" He asked, petting her head. Suddenly she shot off, with Kanan still riding. "I take it you smelled some food?" He asked, sarcastically. The only time she's this excited over a smell was when she's hunting or smelled some excellent food. Korra and Naga were somehow keeping up, and if Nala weren't such a good acrobat, she and Kanan probably would've been run over many times. Eventually, the group reached a market of some kind, and Nala stuck her nose to the ground. Soon, she got to a tent and put her head in the back. Kanan flipped the curtain over his head, to see a saleswoman looking a little frightened. Then Naga came up beside him, with Korra doing the same thing he did.

"I assume this what she smelled?" She asked Kanan stared at her.

"What do you think?" He deadpanned. The twins saw Naga and Nala about to eat the food, but they managed to stop them.

""Naga/Nala, down,"" They said, in perfect synch. Both animals lowered their heads, while the twins got off and walked to the front of the tent. Korra grabbed one of the kabobs and spoke to the saleswoman.

"We'll have one of everything, please," She said.

"That'll be 20 yuans," Said the saleswoman. They both froze.

'Crap.' Thought Kanan. "We; don't really have any money," Kanan said. The woman glared at them.

"Then what good are you to me?" She said, snatching the kabob from Korra's hand. The two Avatars walked away.

"We didn't exactly think this through, did we?" Kanan sighed. Naga and Nala walked up beside them.

"Don't worry. This city is huge. I'm sure we'll be able to rustle up some food somewhere," Korra replied. With that, comforting thought, the group set off in search of food. A few hours later, they came across a park with a large lake and decided to start fishing. Korra and her brother got in the water and began spearing the fish with some ice, while Naga walked around with her head in the lake, searching for more, and Nala was just sitting on the sidelines. Soon enough, they had managed to catch a decent amount and started snacking on them. After a couple of minutes, Kanan heard Korra squeak in shock. He turned and saw someone had crawled out of the bush.

"Uh, say, think I can get one 'a them tasty smellin' fishies?" He asked. The twins looked at each other, briefly, before looking back at the man.

"Sure. There's plenty to go around," Said Kanan. The man did some kind of dance as he walked over, grabbed one of the fish, and sat down next to us. He munched on the fish as Korra spoke up.

"So, do you, live in that bush?" She asked. The man looked at her.

"Yes, presently that is what I do call home," He said. He turned to the bush. "Took me a while to procure a bush that beauteous," Kanan will always swear that the bush looked like it sparkled as the man continued. "This site is quite popular with all the vagabonds," Korra seemed confused.

"So, there are a lot of you, out here?" She said. Kanan joined in, just as confused.

"We thought everyone in the city was just, living it up," He said, with Korra nodding. The man laughed loudly.

"Ah you got a lot to learn newcomers," He did a small bow. "Welcome to Republic City," He said. Kanan frowned.

'I don't think this is what Aang had in mind when he built this city,' Before anything more could be said, they all heard a shrill whistle. The twins; and the man turned in the direction it came from to see what looked like a security guard on the small bridge.

"Hey, you! Stop! You can't fish here!" He said, running at them. The Avatars turned back to the man, only to see him get up and turn to them.

"You best skedaddle," He said, before jumping into his bush. Korra whistled for Naga, while Kanan ran towards Nala and climbed onto her saddle. As they ran, Kanan looked back to see the officer panting, and the man waving at us from his bush. For fun, Kanan decided to shake his hand back at him. Once they were far enough away, the twins started to take a leisurely stroll through the park. Kanan was amazed at its sheer size.

"Well, that was a thing," He said. The complete randomness of it made both of them start to laugh. Korra then looked down sadly.

"Do you think what he said was true?" She said. Kanan looked at her. "About there being a lot of people that live like that." Her brother sighed.

"I think so. He has no reason to lie to us, and it didn't look like he had much choice of where to live," Said Kanan. Before anything more could be said on the subject, they were interrupted by someone speaking through a megaphone.

"Are you tired of living under the tyranny of benders!? Then join the Equalists. For too long, the bending elite of this city have forced non-benders to live as lower-class citizens," He pointed to a poster behind him. "Join Amon, and together we will tear down the bending establishment," He said. Korra looked like she was going to speak up, and Kanan panicked. His sister was not good at getting people who disagreed with her to calm down.

"Korra, don't-" He was too late.

"What are you talking about?" She said, making everyone's head turn to her. "Bending is the coolest thing in the world," The megaphone man just chuckled.

"Oh yeah? Let me guess? You two; are benders," He said. Korra didn't stop.

"Yeah, we are," She said. Kanan was groaning more and more.

"And I'd bet you'd just love to knock me off this platform with some Waterbending, huh?" He said. Before Korra could speak up, Kanan leaped onto Naga and put his hand on her mouth.

"Only if you antagonize us, and actually give us a reason to," Kanan said, trying to placate the situation. "Now come on, Korra, we have places to go," He turned to Naga. "Move. Now," He whispered. She started to walk away from the crowd, with Korra struggling in her brother's grasp all the way. She finally tore his hand from her mouth and turned to him.

"Why'd you do that?" She asked, glaring at her twin. Kanan jumped back onto Nala and turned to his sister.

"Because we're the Avatar, and we can't have the people hating us on our first day before we've even done anything," He replied. Korra tried to come up with a comeback but just sighed.

"I guess that's why you're the planner," She said. Kanan chuckled.

"To be fair, your plan to shave dad's head was pretty well thought out," Kanan replied. She laughed. Kanan looked around. "Any idea where we are?"

A few hours later, the twins were walking down a street next to our spirit partners. They came across an older couple playing Pai-Sho, and Korra turned to them.

"Excuse me, I think we're lost. How do we get to Air Temple Island from here?" She asked. The lady pointed down the street.

"Just head down this street and-" She was interrupted by a Satomobile coming down the road. Her mood did an instant change. "You should get moving young ones, it isn't safe," Korra and Kanan looked at each other in confusion. The vehicle stopped, and three very apparent thugs got out, one an Earthbender, another a Firebender; and their leader seemed to be a Waterbender. They started to threaten an old man selling phonographs, and when one kicked his equipment with a flaming kick, the two Avatars looked at each other and nodded. They walked forward.

"-Now give me the money, or else-" Korra interrupted.

"Or else what, hoodlums?" She said. The three thugs turned to see the twins glaring at them before they started laughing.

"Since you two are obviously fresh off the boat, let me explain a couple things," He said. Kanan did an overly dramatic bow.

"Oh, please do, oh wise moronic thug," He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. The Waterbender ground his teeth together, before continuing.

"You're in Triple Threat Triad territory, and we're about to put you, in the hospital," He said. Kanan rolled his eyes, as Korra spoke up.

"You're the only ones who are gonna need a hospital," She said, pounding her fists together.

"And for your sake, I hope there's one nearby," Her brother finished. They all glared.

"Who do you two think you are?" Growled the Waterbender. The twins just smirked.

"Why don't you come and find out?" Korra said. Then the Waterbender shot a blast of water at us, which Kanan grabbed and redirected at the thugs head, freezing it. The other two looked on in shock as their leader stumbled forward. Korra just kicked him into the front of the Satomobile, shattering the ice and knocking him out. The Earthbender shot forward, but Korra launched him into the air with an Earth pillar. Kanan couldn't help but cringe as he hit all the banners before landing in a crate of food. The Firebender panicked and shot a blast of fire at the twins, but Kanan bent it away, before Earthbending a smallish slab of stone, and launching it into his gut, sending him through the window behind him. Korra chuckled. "Got an idea about who we are now, chumps?" Kanan turned to her.

"Be honest, 'hoodlums' wasn't the best you could come up with, was it?" He asked. Before she could answer, the two were interrupted by the Satomobile almost crashing into them. It looked like the Waterbender was driving, while the Earthbender called to the Firebender. Kanan sent a blast of Water at the Firebenders feet, trapping him in ice, as Korra went after the vehicle.

"You're not getting away," She said. Then, she sent a line of rocks to trip up the car, sending it crashing into a storefront. As they walked up, Kanan surveyed the damage to the vehicle.

"I hope they don't have insurance," He said. Suddenly, sirens started ringing as Naga and Nala joined their partners, with Naga howling along. They all looked up and saw an airship floating above us.

"Police! Freeze where you are," Said a male voice. Then Kanan saw a group of officers' drop from the airship, and shoot out cables from their wrists. The twins looked on in awe.

"Cool. Metalbenders," Korra said. Kanan nodded. That was his favourite style of Earthbending. Korra turned to the police. "We caught the bad guys for you officers," The man who must've been in charge turned to the two walking out of the storefront.

"Arrest them," He said. The two gang members were instantly stuck in cables, and Kanan stepped to the side.

"There's a third one back here. I froze the guy's legs up," Said the Waterbender. The cop nodded to one of his men, and the officer shot cables at the final thug. Then he turned to the twins.

"You're under arrest too," He said, pointing at us. Kanan was shocked, but Korra was far more vocal about it.

"What do you mean we're under arrest?" She asked. "Those are the bad guys over there; they were smashing up a shop."

"From the looks of things, you smashed up a lot more than that," He replied. Looking behind them, Kanan had to agree with him. He then shot out cables at the twins, but they both dodged, and Korra grabbed the ones the officer aimed at her.

"Wait, you can't arrest me, let me explain," She said. The officer didn't budge.

"You can explain yourself all you like; down at headquarters," He said, tugging the cords out of Korra's hand. He tried to hit her again, but Naga hit him with her side, and Korra got on her and rode off, with police officers chasing her. Kanan just stared.

"Did that just happen?" He asked himself. Suddenly he had to flip out of the way of more cables as the officers began to circle him. The Water Tribesman sighed. "Just know; that I'm really sorry about this," He said, before bending ice at their lower bodies, freezing them in place. After he called Nala over, the two partners chased after Korra. They soon caught up with her, and Kanan turned over to her. "You just had to run, didn't you?" Kanan asked.

"Hey, they were going to arrest me for no reason," She replied. Before Kanan could tell her the numerous reasons why they would arrest them, Korra's hair was caught up by a cord. Kanan looked back to see an officer riding the cables, and then bent some of the water under a bridge into ice once we crossed. The officer slammed into the ice, and Kanan cringed, sending an apologetic look back at him. Korra and Naga went up a staircase, and on to a busy street, with Kanan and Nala following. After a few feet, Naga jumped onto a moving train, barely staying on. Kanan turned to Nala's head.

"You ready for this girl?" He asked.

"[Growl]" She growled in confirmation, before leaping off the bridge and landing on the train, using her claws to gain traction. After stabilizing herself, she shot off after Korra and Naga. Then Kanan heard more sirens and looked up to see an airship coming after them. He looked ahead, only to find Naga and Korra get caught up in some cords in midair and soon felt the same thing happen to Kanan and Nala. "Well, this was a fun day," He muttered sarcastically.

"[Growl]," Nala moaned in response.

After the twins were taken to the police headquarters, they were processed, during which Kanan, may have frozen an officers hand when he tried to grab his necklace, the pair were finally seated in the interrogation room, with a female officer.

"Let's see. Multiple counts of destruction of private and city property, not to mention, evading arrest, and of course, attacking an officer during processing," She said, looking at Kanan with the final one. Then she slammed her clipboard on the table. "You two are in a whole mess of trouble," Korra spoke up.

"But there were some thugs threatening a helpless shopkeeper, and-" The officer interrupted.

"Can it. You should've just called the police and stayed out of the way," She said. Kanan joined in.

"Three things; First, the property stuff, that one's on us, Second, there is no way I'm just going stand around when someone's being threatened for no reason, and third, no one touches my necklace," He said, listing off the points on his finger. Korra paled, probably remembering the last person who tried to take that necklace from her brother. That cop got off easy.

"I'm on board with the second thing. You see, we're the Avatars," Korra said. The officer raised an eyebrow.

"How can you both be the Avatar?" She asked. Korra and Kanan looked at each other.

""We're twins,"" They said. The officer just continued.

"Either way, you're 'Avatar Title' might impress some people, but not me," She said. Korra looked up.

"Alright, fine. Then I want to talk to whoever's in charge," Said the Avatar. The officer just sat in the chair.

"You're talking to her. I'm Chief Bei-Fong," She said. When he saw Korra's dejected look, Kanan just laughed.

"You were hoping to impress the Chief with us being the Avatar, weren't you?" He said, chuckling. Korra glared at her twin.

"Can it." She said. Then she had a look of realization. She turned to the Chief. "Wait, Bei-Fong? Lin Bei-Fong? You're Toph's daughter!" She said. The Chief didn't seem to care.

"What of it?" She asked. Korra continued.

"Well, then why are you treating us like criminals?" She said. "Avatar Aang and your mother were friends, they saved the world together," Chief Bei-Fong looked irritated.

"That's ancient history. And it's got diddly-squat to do with the mess you two are in right now," Bei-Fong leaned forward on the table. "You can't just waltz in here, and dole out vigilante justice like you own the place," Before anything more could be said, a panel to the side opened up, and an officer spoke up.

"Chief, Councilman Tenzin is here," He said. Bei-Fong sighed.

"Let him in," She got out of the chair and turned to the wall just as it opened up to reveal Tenzin. He glared at the two Avatar's, while Kanan just chuckled sheepishly, and Korra spoke up.

"Sorry, Tenzin. We got a little, sidetracked, on our way to see you," She chuckled. Tenzin took a deep breath before turning to Bei-Fong.

"Lin, you are looking radiant as usual," He said. Bei-Fong got right to business.

"Cut the garbage Tenzin. Why is the Avatar in Republic City?" She turned to the twins. "And why are there two of them?" She looked back to Tenzin. "I thought you were going to be moving to the South Pole to train them."

"Their situation is, unique. Even among Avatars. As for my relocation, it has been delayed," Tenzin glared at the twins. "The Avatars, on the other hand, will be heading back to the South Pole immediately. Where they will stay put," Korra looked down, while Kanan spoke up.

"Not a chance," He said, making everyone turn to him. "I refuse to stay in that prison for Spirits knows how long." Tenzin looked at the younger boy.

"That is out of your hands now, Kanan," He said, before turning back to Bei-Fong. "If you would be so kind, as to drop the charges against the two of them, I will take full responsibility for today's regrettable events, and cover all the damages," He finished. Be-Fong paused for a moment before sighing.

"Fine," She said, unlocking their cuffs. "Get them out of my city."

"Always a pleasure, Lin," Tenzin turned to the door, calling out to the twins. "Let's go, you two," They followed him out, and Bei-Fong gave the twins an 'I'm watching you' gesture, which Korra matched, with an added scowl. The trio finally got to the animal pen, where Kanan saw an old lady with a platypus bear. Korra spoke up.

"Tenzin, please don't send us back home," She pleaded. Tenzin refused.

"You blatantly disobeyed my wishes, and the orders of the White Lotus," He said.

"But we did what Katara suggested we do, and she ranks higher than the White Lotus on people I take orders from," Kanan spoke up. Tenzin glared at him, his forehead actually turning red.

"Don't bring my mother into this," He said. Korra sighed.

"Look. We can't wait any longer to finish our training. Being cooped up and hidden away from the world isn't helping us become better Avatars," Said Korra. Kanan joined in.

"Listen, we saw a lot of the city today, and it's completely out of balance," He said. Then, Kanan sighed. "I know you need to stay here, and the City does need you, but it needs the Avatar too," Tenzin sputtered, trying to come up with a response. Before any more could be said, they all heard someone speak up.

"Excuse me. Are these your animals?" They turned to see the caretaker holding Naga and Nala's leashes, with Nala rubbing against his chest, and Naga licking his hair into a spiral.

Air Temple Island Ferry

Later on, the group was heading over to Air Temple Island. Korra and Kanan were looking back at the city.

"Well, I guess this was all pointless, huh?" Said Kanan.

"Not entirely," Korra replied. "We saw that this city needs us, so we'll just have to get stronger so we can help it." Her twin smiled.

"You always try to look for the silver lining," Kanan said. Then she grabbed him into a headlock again. "Will you cut that out!?"

Once the group got to the Island, the twins saw a large number of White Lotus members standing near a ship. The twins sighed sadly and started to walk towards them. Before either of them could get very far, they saw Tenzin's kids flying in. When they landed, they all shouted the twins names; Ikki and Meelo went to hug Korra, while Jinora came over to Kanan. Ikki looked up at the twins.

"Are you guys coming to live with us on the Island?" She asked. Korra and Kanan looked down sadly.

"No, I'm sorry Ikki," Korra kneeled down to their eye level.

"Unfortunately, we have to go home now," Kanan joined in. The kids all 'aww'd and Kanan called Nala over. As he and Korra walked up to the White Lotus members, Tenzin spoke up.

"Wait," The two turned to see him walking up to them. "I have done my best to guide Republic City towards the dream my father had for it, but you're right. It has fallen out of balance since he passed. I thought I should put off your training in order to uphold his legacy," He put his hand on both of their shoulders. "But you two; ARE his legacy. You may stay and train Airbending here, with me," The twins looked at each other with the biggest grins they've had in years. "Republic City needs its Avatar, once again."

"YES! Thank you." Said Korra. Kanan joined in.

"You are the best," Kanan said. The kids cheered, and Korra picked the entire group up in one of her bear hugs.

Republic City

The day after, there was a press conference to announce the twin Avatar's arrival in the City. The two stood on the podium, with a row of mics in front of them. Kanan was actually getting a little blinded by all the flashing cameras. Korra coughed.

"Hello, I'm Korra, and this is my brother, Kanan," She said. Kanan spoke up.

"We are your new Avatars," He said. The crowd began cheering and applauding, then the reporters started asking questions.

"How does it work if there are two Avatars?"

"Does this mean you've moved to Republic City?"

"Were you trying to send a message to the triads yesterday?"

"Will you be fighting crime or the anti-bending revolution? Or both?"

"Will you be working with Chief Bei-Fong and the police?" Korra and Kanan looked at each other, sharing the same thought; 'What have we gotten into' Kanan spoke up first.

"Well, we are twins, so somehow it works out," I said. Korra joined in.

"Yes, we are definitely here to stay, but honestly…" Kanan continued.

"We don't exactly have a…plan, right now," He said.

"See, we're still in training, but…" Korra sighed. "Look, all I know is that Avatar Aang meant for this city to be the center for peace and balance in the world."

"And we believe that all of us can make his dream a reality," Kanan said. Then, the twins looked at each other and nodded.

""We look forward to working with you,"" They said.

A/N: Holy crap that was long! That was double the length of any chapter I've ever done. I hope you guys liked the first chapter, and if you have any questions, please PM me. Also, if you have any tips for writing action scenes, please give them to me. A few more things, 1. Kanan will basically look like a male Korra, 2. You won't see Kanan flip out a whole lot, but when you do, well, I'll just say this; the Wolfbats, are SCREWED. 3. No matter what type of bending Kanan uses, he'll always have the flowing motions of Waterbending somewhere in his style. Hope you enjoyed the POV change. I'm going to do this to all of my chapters from now on.
