Chapter 1
In a large estate, a family of three was packing, as they prepared to go on a long journey. "Yasuko, did you put my toolkit?" asked Hiroshi
"Yes, did you really think that I would forget to put your toys for you to tinker with while we will be away?" asked the woman with black hair as she looked at her husband.
"Thank you, I cannot imagine a life without you in it," smiled the man as his wife smiled.
"Well, we still have more time to prepare," spoke Yasuko, as the two adults were packing their belongings.
A quiet voice spoke in the doorway. "Mommy, daddy, I cannot sleep," spoke a six years old little girl with black hair and green eyes, as she entered the room in her pajamas.
"Asami, your father and I are packing for our trip. Why don't you go take a nap?" smiled Yasuko
"But mommy," spoke Asami
"Your mother is right. We have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow, and you should go sleep," spoke Hiroshi
"But what about my friends? Can they come too?" inquired Asami curiously.
"I am sorry honey, but they cannot. But don't worry, you will find plenty of new friends at the South Pole," spoke Yasuko, and Asami nodded, leaving the room.
The young girl sighed. She knew that she would probably make many new friends, but she was still worried. She had many friends at her school, and she felt very unhappy leaving them. Asami climbed into her bed, and began reading some engineering book, before falling asleep.
Asami's parents continued to pack up. "Do we have to go? Asami will miss her friends, and frankly, I have never visited the Southern Tribe," spoke Yasuko
"I know, Yasuko, but it would be a great opportunity for us to expand Future Industries. Besides, this would certainly create new jobs and help to modernize the Southern Water Tribe. They suffered but survived a hundred year war, it would be great for us to help the nation that was such a key player in defeating that tyrant Ozai," spoke Ozai
"But what about the Republic City? It would be very hard to manage both branches," spoke Yasuko.
"Don't worry, I have a plan for this," spoke Hiroshi as he approached his wife, and the two kissed.
"Alright, lets finish this," spoke Hiroshi, as the two adults continued to pack their bags.
Next day a Satomobile pulled up at the gates. "Mr and Mrs. Sato, this way," spoke the driver, as he opened the door to the Satomobile. Before the adults could enter it, Asami quickly ran and climbed quickly in the Satomobile.
"Come here you little miss cheeky," spoke Hiroshi as he climbed inside, and tickled his daughter, who laughed. Yasuko smiled, as she entered the car.
The driver drove the Satomobile towards the harbor. As the Satomobile drove, Asami looked through the window at the surroundings. The young girl did not see the city often; she only saw the city's most expensive streets, since her school was located close to the Sato mansion. The current road, however, went straight through the middle of the city.
"Look, Mamma, look! There is a giant statute over there!" spoke young Asami as she pointed her tiny finger at the large statute.
"That's Avatar Aang, the former Avatar. He, as well as his loyal friends, created the Republic City. The Team Avatar defeated Fire Lord Ozai and ended the horrible hundred year war," spoke Yasuko as Asami continued to look through the window,
"What happened to the Avatar?" asked Asami as she looked at her mother.
"Avatar Aang passed away about five years ago. Nobody has heard of a new Avatar. Since Aang was an Air bender, the new Avatar would be a Water Bender," spoke Yasuko as the Satomobile finished its trip and entered the harbor.
"I wish to meet the new Avatar! I hope we will become friends," spoke Asami dreamily as Hiroshi laughed.
"I am sure you will. Come, we have a long trip to the Southern Water Tribe ahead of us," spoke Hiroshi, as the Sato family stepped in the harbor, and soon climbed on board of the ship heading to their destination.
As the ship was leaving the city, Asami looked at the giant statue, and the city in general. The little girl put her hands on the side of the ship, and leaned forward. Unfortunately, she lost balance, and fell in the water.
"Asami!" cried Hiroshi as he and Yasuko ran to the place where Asami fell into the water.
"Mama, papa, help!" cried little girl as she tried to stay afloat. Suddenly, a man jumped in the water, and grabbed Asami, before propelling the two of them with a water tornado back onto the ship.
"Mom, Dad, I am so sorry," spoke Asami
"It's alright, but next time promise to be more careful," spoke Yasuko as Asami nodded and hugged her mother.
"Thank you for saving my daughter, she means a world to me," spoke Hiroshi as he shook hands with the man who saved his daughter.
"I did what I felt was right. I am a Water Bender, and I knew I could save her, so I did," replied the Water Bender.
'Thank you. My name is Hiroshi Sato. If you ever need anything, just ask," spoke Hiroshi.
"Noatak," spoke the man as he left the family.
"Lets eat some food," suggested Yasuko as Hiroshi nodded.
While the ship traveled to the Southern Water Tribe, a man sat in a palace, looking at a group of Chiefs.
"Tonraq, thank you for coming here so quickly," spoke one of the chiefs.
"Yes, we would like to speak with you about an important matter," spoke another chief.
"How can I help?" asked Tonraq.
"We received a message from the Future Industries that they plan to open a new branch in the Southern Water Tribe. We decided to appoint you as the Council's representative to this company," spoke a third chief.
"It would be my honor," spoke Tonraq as he left the building.
"Long day, huh?" spoke an elder man.
"Hello Chief Sokka," spoke Tonraq
"I am not a chief anymore. I came to congratulate you for having your daughter as the Avatar. I heard my mother will personally train her in Water Bending," spoke Sokka.
"She will. Katara is the greatest Water Bender in the world, and it is an honor for her to train my little baby Korra," smiled Tonraq.
A/N: I plan to have this story before the events of Book 1: Air. This will be sort of like Gotham show, although Korra already began her training as the Avatar. I plan to make time skip between arc 1 and 2. The main story will take place where Asami is 11 and Korra is 10; right now Asami is 6 and Korra is 5.
