Authors Note: Hey guys! I know its been a year and some change but we're finally here. The Korrasami AU Drabbles that you all voted for led to this being my first multi chapter story in the year 2016. As you know it is heavily inspired by the transporter films. That does not mean I will be writing it exactly like the movies. I never do. I make it my own so please keep that in mind. This story will have no sequel so once its complete that's it. For now I hope you all enjoy the chapter. Later Gladiators!

Warning: Minor Violence and Language. Club Scene. No Guns.

Korra had been in Republic City all week for a convention her father dragged her too. Tonraq, chief of the Southern Water Tribe, wanted to show his only daughter the importance of representing their people. It was something she would have to do once the crown was passed down to her.

The princess had other plans. She was more focused on the city around her. With this being her first time away from home, Korra wanted to explore all the city had to offer. Some how she convinced her father to let her stay behind for a few days to check out some schools. Education was important to the Jīngshén royal family.

Tonraq knew Korra wanted to attend a University outside of the Southern Tundra. His wife approved on it though he remained skeptical. They both agreed it would be fitting for their daughter to get to know the outside world in order to protect their own. He eventually gave the OK for her to stay a few days on the condition she stayed close to her bodyguards assigned to her: Mako and Bolin Yōso.

"Come on! Its gonna be fun!" Korra said pulling Mako by the arm with Bolin right behind them. There was a night club called Ocean Blue she wanted to go into.

"I don't think this is such a good idea," Mako said pulling back.

Korra stood there with a small pout. "Please..."

Mako shook his head no. "Princess we can't jus-"

"Got it!" Bolin said walking back to them. "I spoke to the bouncer they're gonna let us in."

"Yes!" Korra shouted placing her arm around Bolin.

Mako held his hands up. "No! The chief gave us specific instructions to follow about where to take you and when."

Korra and Bolin were gesturing with their hands about how much Mako was talking. "Stop being such a stick in the mud," she said with a smile. "I haven't gotten a chance to do anything remotely fun since I've been here. Could you please do this for me... please," she said with puppy eyes.

Mako saw the pleading look in her eyes and caved. "Fine but only for-" he said only to be cut off by the cheers from his brother and Korra.

"Let's go!" Bolin said leading Korra and Mako into the club with the bouncer letting them through.

Across the street, two men were watching as the trio enter the club. "Go time," one said placing a mask over his face.

Inside of the club was amazing. Lights flashing, music blasting, people dancing to their hearts content. Korra never experienced anything like this before. The shades of blue reminded her of home. "This is so cool!" she said with excitement.

The boys lead her to the dance floor where everyone else was. Mako was watching vigilantly to their surroundings while Bolin was showing off his epic dance moves.

After 20 minutes of non stop music, Korra had to go to the ladies room. The brothers escorted her into the restroom area. "I'll be right out," Korra said going inside. She saw a long line inside that was the same as outside. "Great..." she said before standing behind a woman waiting to use the facilities.

Bolin leaned up against the wall as Mako was looking around. "Could you lighten up? You're always paranoid something will happen," he said feeling as if his older brother was being a buzz kill.

Mako shook his head no. "Something doesn't feel right."

A worker at the club opened up the back door to throw out the trash. He placed a brick in the door way so he could get back inside. He lifted up the trash lid and tossed the bag inside. He then took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips.

The two masked men ran up behind him. One shoved the man's head up against the brick wall knocking him unconscious. They both walked inside undetected. "Go find the fire alarm. I'll find the girl," one said before walking off.

Korra finally got a chance to use it. She walked inside of the stall and closed the door behind her locking it.

"Sometimes you gotta let loose and have a little fun," Bolin said trying to convince his brother.

"Maybe you're right," Mako said feeling a bit tired from being such a stickler all the time.

The fire alarm sounded with sprinklers over head going off. People started to scatter and leave the club thinking there was a fire.

"We gotta get Korra," Mako said thinking the same.

Bolin looked at the door then back to his brother. "You mean go in there?" he said not wanting to invade her privacy.

Mako shrugged eying the door himself. "Either that or we burn to death," he said being dramatic.

A man in a white mask and a red symbol in the middle of his forehead stood at the end of the hall.

Bolin spotted him first. "Uh... Mako," he said gesturing behind him.

Mako turned around and saw the man in the white mask. "Shit. Get Korra," he said turning to face his brother. He could see another man at the end of the hall with a red mask with a white symbol in the middle of his forehead. "Guard the door at all costs!"

Bolin looked behind him and saw a man in a red mask. "Got it," he said putting up his fists.

Korra came out of the stall and started to wash her hands. She was humming the song she heard earlier. Looking in the mirror, Korra noticed she was the only one in the restroom. "Guess they didn't want to wait either," she said turning off the facet and drying her hands.

Mako and Bolin were both back to back as the men in mask rushed them. The one in the white mask directed a kick with his right leg at Mako's head.

"Duck!" Mako shouted with Bolin following his lead.

The white masked man brought his left leg up soon after kicking Mako in the stomach pushing Bolin forward into the other masked guy.

The red masked man jabbed at Bolin with him dodging it. Bolin threw a hard right hook at the man's face to knock off his mask only to miss hitting the wall beside him. "Ow!" he shouted in pain shaking his hand. The red masked man grabbed Bolin's arm and swung him into the other side of the wall.

Korra finished drying her hands and walked to the door. The white mask figured kicked Mako into the door way of the ladies room startling her. Mako fell on his back. He saw Korra and immediately kicked the door closed when the man tried to come in.

The man in the white mask hit the wall when the door closed on his face.

Bolin was being stomped in his stomach on the floor. When the man stopped, Bolin could see him walking toward the ladies room again. He pushed himself off the floor and grabbed on to the man's ankle. "No you don't!"

"Stay here!" Mako said getting up and opening up the door. He ran out of the rest room and punched the red mask man in the face. The man fell over Bolin's torso.

The other masked man grabbed Mako from behind shoving him out of the way. He opened to the door to the ladies room not seeing Korra. The window up above was open. Before he could inspect the room, Mako ran in a shoved him into one of the stall doors.

Korra hid in the one at the far end. She covered her mouth in order to not make a sound.

Bolin was kneeing the red mask guy in the ribs, ready to pull off his mask. When he tried, the man grabbed Bolin's wrist and twisted him around into a head lock. He was about to snap his neck until he heard police sirens.

Mako was shoved into the sink with a forearm connecting to his face. The back of his head hit the mirror hard. Shards of glass fell into the sink.

The mask man took out a syringe he was going to use on Korra for Mako. He popped off the top ready to stab Mako in the neck when Korra kicked him in the back. When he turned around, she kicked the needle out of his hand. She switched legs to kick him with the other but he caught her.

He held on to her leg as she tried to pull it back. Mako elbowed him from behind causing his mask to fall off his face. He let go of Korra immediately and grabbed on to his mask. He ran out the door trying to attach it back.

Bolin broke free trying to keep the man in the red mask at bay until the police came. The other came up behind him and knocked him down with a kick to the side of his head.

They both ran off as the police rushed the building.

Mako came out of the rest room with Korra seeing Bolin laid out on the floor. "Bo? BO!" he shouted running to his brother. He shook Bolin's body to get him to come too.

Bolin groaned a bit. "Stop screaming so loud..." he said feeling a throbbing pain in the side of his head.

Mako sighed relieved his brother was okay. He turned to Korra to check on her as well. "Are you okay princess?"

Korra looked from Bolin to Mako shaking her head no.

After the police came, Korra was escorted to the Presidents estate. They wanted to make sure she was safe in case her hotel room was compromised. It was clear that this attack was planned. As to whom was responsible remained a mystery.

Raiko hung up the phone with a sigh. He just informed the chief about the attempted kidnapping on his daughter. Tonraq wanted Korra back home as soon as possible with a proper escort. Raiko understood and promised to fine someone by morning. A knock on the door got his attention. "Come in."

Lin came in seconds later with an update. "The princess didn't see the assailants face much like her body guards," she said holding a file in her hand.

"We'll get to that later. Right now I need you to find me someone who is capable of bringing her back to the Southern Tundra," he said leaning back in his seat. Raiko knew if she didn't get home safely the alliance they had with the south would disintegrate.

Lin understood the urgency and gave him a nod. "I may have someone in mind."

Ten minutes later, Lin parked in front of an old associates house. She walked up to the front door with the motion sensor lights coming on. She held her hand up shielding the blinding light from her view. "Sato," she said looking up into the camera.

Asami opened up the front door a few minutes later. "Beifong," she said with a small frown on her face. It was 2 in the morning. "Didn't know you made house calls."

"I know its late but this is important," Lin said hoping she would understand.

Asami saw the look in Lin's eyes and stepped aside for her to come in. She closed the door once Lin was inside. She walked into the kitchen with Lin right behind her. "What is this about?" she asked taking out a pot to boil some tea.

Lin pulled out a file and sat it down on the counter. "Attempted kidnapping of Chief Tonraq's only heir. Two masked assailants attack them a few hours ago," she said opening up the file and pulling out a photo. It was a blurry screenshot from the surveillance camera at the club.

"Them?" Asami questioned while taking a tea bag out of a box.

"Her and her bodyguards," Lin clarified.

Asami stopped what she was doing and looked at Lin. "So you came here for advice or to tell me a bed time story?" she asked in a sarcastic way. She wanted Lin to get to the point.

Lin had a small frown of her own at Asami's attitude. "No. I came here to ask you for help."

"Fuck off..." Asami said already against it. "Are you serious?"

"Yes I am. Her life is in danger," Lin said putting emphasis on it. She knew Asami would be conflicted considering what happened in the past but that was years ago. "You're the only one who could bring her back safely. Asami please," she begged hoping she would think about it.

Asami looked at the boiling pot on the stove and shook her head no. "Find someone else," she said stirring tea with a spoon.

Lin slammed her fist into the counter tired of this. "Dammit there is no one else. Just you," she said pointing at her.

Asami looked up at Lin with that same deadpan glare. "I'm not going to be responsible for someone else's mistake. If the chief really wants her back. He'll send someone for her," she said not budging on the subject. She had her mind made up a long time ago. She would not be put in this position again.

"There's no time for that. The princess could be dead before then," Lin said knowing they would try it again. Thinking on it more, Lin perked up a bit. "However there are two options on the table," she said with a small smirk. Asami didn't like where this was going. "Either you escort the princess back yourself or make the call to the fire nation to grant us access through their waters," she said taking out her cellphone and holding it out for Asami to take. "Your choice."

Asami knew Lin wasn't going to leave without pulling out all the stops but to go this far was insulting. "Or I could go for the third option and continue on with my daily routine forgetting this conversation ever happened," she said before walking over to the cupboard to take out a mug. She sat it down and poured some tea into it. "Cheers," she said holding it up to Lin before taking a sip.

Lin gave Asami a disappointed look and looked down at the file. "You can't do this forever," she said placing the photo back inside the file. She looked around the kitchen and back at Asami. "Avoiding the real world."

"Is that all?" Asami asked sipping on her tea.

"Please consider it before its to late," Lin asked before walking to front door.

Asami took another sip of her drink before placing it down. She walked after Lin and stopped once she was out the door. "Wait," she said getting Lin's attention. She leaned up against the door frame and thought on what Lin said to her. Looking at her, Asami gave her a nod. "If I do it. It has to be my way or no way at all."

Lin stood there with a small smile creeping up on her face. "Sounds fair," she said walking back to her and handing her a card pass and address. "See you in a few hours."

After a few hours, Asami packed her things into her vehicle and headed to the Presidents estate. She already mocked up a route that would get them to their destination without going through fire nation waters.

Once arriving at the estate, Asami was patted down thoroughly before being allowed inside. She followed one of the officers into a room where Lin and the President was.

"Mr. President. Asami Sato here to see you," He said before leaving the room.

Raiko looked up at Asami who was wearing a suit fit for her figure. She was not what he expected. "Sergeant Sato," he said walking up to her with his hand out.

Asami looked down at his hand as if it was filled with germs. "I'd rather not..." she said looking back up at him. "Be called that."

"Sato is a former Sergeant of the United Forces," Lin explained before Raiko could say anything else. He looked back at Lin with a nod before walking past Asami into the room where Korra and her bodyguards were.

Lin walked up to Asami tapping her on the shoulder. "Ease up," she warned before following the president.

Asami shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't vote for him," she said following Lin.

Walking into the room, Raiko gestured to the young woman in blue. "Sato this is Princess Korra of the Southern Water Tribe," he said with Korra looking at Asami. Their eyes met for a split second before, Asami turned her attention back to Raiko. "You will be escorting her to the south along with her guards."

"If I am to deliver the package..." Asami said gesturing to Korra without looking at her. "I'll do it alone."

Korra automatically took offense to be called 'package'.

Lin saw the look on the princess face and spoke up. "You'll need a team in order to get this done," she said giving Asami a look. She had Lu and Gang as back up if she needed it.

Asami looked at Lin in the same way, "I don't need anyone holding me back," she said meaning Korra's guards. "I'm not baby sitter," she said making them seem incompetent.

Mako and Bolin started to rant off about how their fast acting saved the princess life. Before they could go further into depth, Raiko cut them off. "Quiet!" he said shutting them up. He gave both boys death glares as he turned his attention back to Asami. "Now. Miss... Sato," he said making sure he address her correctly. "The Chief himself hand picked these guards to be at his daughter side at all times. They are going with you is that clear?" he commanded in a subtle tone.

"Lu and Gang are also at your disposal," Lin said pointing at the two police officers in the corner of the room.

Asami glanced behind her at the two bumbling idiot officers and looked back at Lin. She knew arguing about it wouldn't get her any where so she decided to play ball. "I have some grounds rules then," she said looking back at Mako and Bolin. "I will be running point," she said gesturing to herself. "You two," she said turning to face Lu and Gang. "Are going to be in a decoy car shadowing behind me while you two," she said looking back at Mako and Bolin. "Will be driving behind them. If we run into any interference they would go after the decoy instead of us," she said before turning back to the president himself. "Is that clear?" The men all agreed in unison. "Good."

Asami waited in the corner of the room while Korra spoke to her father. "We're leaving right now," she said in a sad tone. She knew this would be her last time away from home after what happened.

"Let me speak to your handler," Tonraq said wondering who it was. He wanted to make sure this guy knew how important it was to have his daughter back safe and sound.

Korra looked over at Asami and held the phone up to her view. "My father wants to talk to you."

Asami stood up from her chair and walked over to Korra. She took in hand and placed it to her ear. "Chief Jīngshén."

Tonraq heard her voice and raised a brow. "Yes and this is?" he asked wanting to know who they assigned to his daughter.

"Asami Sato. I was asked to take your daughter to the Southern Tundra," she said turning her back to Korra. Asami knew how this conversation was going to go and wanted to put any questions the Chief had to rest. "I know this is a bit frightening. Putting your trust into a complete stranger. Not knowing what's ahead but I promise I will bring her back home no matter what."

Tonraq let out a sigh of relief. He needed to hear that and the tone of her voice made him believe it. "She's my whole world. I need you to keep her safe. I can't... I can't lose her," he said covering his mouth. He didn't want to think the worst.

Asami couldn't help but feel deja vu. It was the same situation all over again except with a different nation. "You won't. You have my word."

Before leaving the estate, Asami gave the men comms so they could communicate with each other. She placed hers on underneath her shirt. Her ear piece was clear so it wouldn't be noticeable from a far. "Check one two. One two," she said pressing the button that was on her tie.

Hearing them all say check with their assigned names, Asami headed outside to her car with Korra right behind her. She opened up the door to the back seat for Korra to get in.

Once she did, Asami opened up the drivers side door getting in herself. She adjusted her mirror seeing Korra sitting behind her with a pouty look on her face. "Seat belt," she ordered before turning her attention to the ac.

Korra rolled her eyes as she placed her seat belt on.

"Some ground rules. You will abide by," Asami said while fixing the temperature in the car. She looked back at Korra through the rear view mirror and continued. "You will not eat in my car. You will not drink in my car. You are allowed to sleep if it keeps you quiet. There will be a certain amount of rest room breaks you will have. Do not take them for granted. You will only have up to 5 minutes to use it and yes I will time you," she said seeing the look of disbelief on Korra's face. "There are three major check points we will be going to. Ba Sing Se. The Eastern Air Temple and the Southern Tundra. We would have taken a faster route but we don't have clearance to pass through fire nation waters on such short notice. Are there any questions?" she asked curiously.

Korra looked at her stunned. She had never been spoken to in such a manner it left her a bit speechless.

Asami knew it was a lot of information to process so she didn't bother waiting on a response. "Good. Let's go shall we?" she said before driving off Raiko's property and on to the main road with the rest of the team following suit.
