Okay, so maybe I didn't completely write the missing part between the last two bits of the story and Got distracted today and only wrote another small piece which might need editing.

Anyway here's the next part, this oneshot just turned into a 3shot (-_-)'

Republic City 3 weeks later

Bolin walked out of the train, hoping his brother would be there to see him. The first person he saw was Lin, who looked like she saw a ghost so he simply smirked her way as he walked towards her. He knew he looked a lot larger especially with the black leather armour he was wearing at the moment. His massive sword on his back and the thinner one on the side of his hip, he was leaving Kuvira for the time being. He'd join up again later.

"Lin Beifong." He said with a smirk. "It's been a while since I've last seen you."

"A while?" She growled back at him. "You've been dead for over 3 years, now you suddenly reappear with Kuvira no less!"

Laughing a little he shook his head. "Oh, what about little miss Kuvira I want to unite the Earth Kingdom once again, by enslaving every state I get. Oh, I'm just waiting for the opportune moment to crush her Empire to the ground, she's made too much progress already, but don't worry…I've been breaking down her army…"

Lin didn't like this attitude Bolin seemed to have. It was much darker than she remembered it's almost as if he had been brainwashed… no… it couldn't be… could it? The old Di Leigh Agents used brainwashing, did Kuvira use it on Bolin? It's no secret that she has some of them under her command at the moment, not even mentioning the chi-blockers.

"So you're planning on taking her down from the inside?" she asked him, still on edge.

"Yah, but have you seen Mako? I haven't seen him in a long time and I need to know how he has been doing." He asked as he looked around. "I also want to apologize Lin, I know you had to deal with Mako while you thought I was dead… I should have come back earlier, but at least I am here now."

That last bit had disarmed her, but she was still suspicious of the boy, he had changed far too much within those three years than what is normal. Something drastic must have happened and where had he been all those years? She watched him disappear with movement way to agile and precise for him.

Mako POV

I thought a saw Bolin moving thru the crowd for a second, but I knew it wasn't true. I looked again, but he wasn't there, just a bunch of random faces in the sea of unfamiliar faces. I looked around and I saw his face again, this time I couldn't deny the fact that I was seeing him. He was headed straight for me, walking tall and proud, each of his steps showed confidence and power. He looked older and stronger than he had been, but I could also sense that he has become a bit darker his eyes a clear indication of that.

What happened to him? Why didn't he come back? Where had he been all this time? Those were only a few of the thoughts that were racing thru my mind, Prince Wu's constant blabbering seemingly faded to nothing as Bolin approached. My little brother was taller that I am, he wasn't little anymore… It took a second for me to realise my dead brother wasn't dead at all, he was alive and strong.

He suddenly disappeared again, and a looked all over the place to find him, but after a few second of not being able to do so, I realised that I must have been hallucinating again. Why am I seeing his face again? Haven't I suffered enough knowing that he would never come back? That I had fail-

"It's been a while big brother." The familiar voice came from right next to me.

"BOLIN!" I shouted and hugged him, tears streaming down my eyes. I thought I had lost him… but here he is alive and well!

"Where have you been! Don't scare me like that again! Do you know how I felt when I thought you died! You were the last piece I had left of mom and dad, and then you were gone…" I started crying angry tears. "It was hard on all of us…"

I wanted to beat him up and kill him for worrying me, but I just wanted to hug him to death at the same time, I missed him so much… I didn't realise how much I had until I saw him right now. After all this time he decides to come back right now. I am never going to let him get hurt or do something stupid again, but I knew I could only keep my promise as long as he kept it.

"I'm back bro, and I am not going anywhere. Well, I do have to complete my mission with Kuvira and against her, but that's a discussion for another time." Bolin said off-headedly.

It was only after a while that I noticed Prince Wu staring at us like some kind of weirdo's. Well to be honest, if your bodyguard suddenly hugged another guy and started crying, I would be doing the same thing… He looked intimidated by Bolin's large stature, but to be honest, I was a little intimidated by him too. Actually… Bolin had the build of a real bodyguard and the bending required to do that too, and if Wu was scared of him, how would he act if he had real bodyguards?

We caught up after that, talking about everything that happened the last 3 years, but I could tell that Bolin hid a few things from me. Like there was some kind of secret that he didn't want to tell me. I left him to it, he will tell me when he wants too.

It was after a while that he finally left, going back to the room he had. I hated the fact that he worked for Kuvira, but at least I knew why he was working for her. Prince Wu still felt uncomfortable around Bolin, but he had warmed up to the guy a bit, considering that he was so carefree and laid back. I mean who would be afraid of a guy with a personality like that?

After Verick threatens to blow up the train

Bolin had never in his life been so scared of a lunatic than he was a few minutes earlier. The man demolished an entire metal structure along with within a 15m radius of the blast! It was a little scary to know that Kuvira would have such power, but he also knew he could absorb all that spirit energy and feed it to Balan if he was caught in an attack from a weapon using the source of energy.

Flashback

They made it out just in time to avoid the explosion, but the blast was expanding from the epicentre threatening to consume them along with anything in its path of destruction. Balan and Bolin used their temporary ability to synchronize their energies so that he could absorb the energy that would kill him.

The pick ball of super-condensed plasma expanded rapidly, gaining speed as it used whatever energy it had gained from the vine. Yet it stopped and tendrils of the energy ploughed straight into the earth, being sucked into the body that Bolin and Balan shared. Balan used the energy to restore their body and give Bolin a temporary power boost.

'That power is quite interesting… it's pure and raw…' Balan commented mentally.

'From the looks of that blast, it was quite powerful as well, and to think it was only that small piece of spirit vine.' Bolin added.

'At least we can absorb the energy if we have to do it in order to save people. I have a feeling that they stole most of Verick's research.' Balan said.

Bolin mentally agreed with that, knowing that Kuvira would have kept tabs on the progress Verick made if she wanted him to create a weapon like this. He also idly wondered why the energy was pink… It could have been any colour, but it chose to be pink!

End Flashback

Closing his eyes, Bolin focused his senses to the sands and earth around him looking for the faint pieces of metal within the sand left by meteors that burned up in the atmosphere. Pulling all those bits of metal together he formed a small board large enough for him and Verick to stand on comfortably. The board floated in the air as he carefully manipulated the magnetic currents around it to enable it to defy gravity.

"Get on." Bolin ordered Verick who just stood mouth gaping.

Verick stood looking on in shock, he never knew that Bolin was so proficient in metal bending. It had to have taken a lot of skill to pull all that bits and pieces of metal together and then form this board, not even mentioning the complex physics it requires to levitate it by manipulating the magnetic fields around it to repel the earth's own fields enough to let it float.

"That's amazing!"

Bolin shrugged it off. "It's nothing, now come on lets go."

Verick hopped on the board, expecting it to dip and wobble a bit, but it did no such thing, remaining in the air as if it sat on a slap of earth. Two clams formed out of the metal securing them to it before they sped in the direction of Kuvira, surprising Verick who thought they would be running away.

"Hey, were are we going?" asked Verick

"Back to the Camp, we need to rescue Suyin, Wing and Wei. I think they would have captured Huan and Bataar Sr. by now too." He said calmly.

"Are you Crazy?! How are you even going to get them with all those guards there?"

Smirking, Bolin turned to Verick, who didn't like the evil glint in his eye. "We fly them out."

A few minutes later, the two of them were near the camp again, this time however Bolin shot off a lot of fine metal into the camp in preparation for what he was about to do. The particles were to fine to be detected by the soldiers, but big enough for Bolin to easily find and manipulate. Bolin just waited for midnight before he placed his plan into action.

"You got the large metal board ready?" asked Bolin.

"Yep! I'll wait for you to get here and speed off with us! We'll be back in Republic City in to time!"

Bolin nodded, getting into a stance he used the excess energy he had left over to bring up a lot of sand and dust then move it towards the camp, creating a large artificial sandstorm which he maintained with his mind. It was hard doing such a task relying only on your mental ability to bend, but with the help of Balan, he was able to do it.

Bolin ran thru the sand storm, each grain of sand sending a bit of seismic activity thru the ground helped him see where he was running. He snuck passed the guards in Mecha-suites easily, making his way to the middle of the camp, where he found the five contained inside platinum cages.

"Bolin?" Suyin asked curiously, not expecting to see him, or him with orange eyes?

"Yah, it's me. Just wait a sec for me to get you guys-"

"INTRUDER!" somebody yelled.

Growling, Bolin let the sandstorm fall which also caused his eyes to return to their forest green colour. Using the metal he had launched earlier, he formed tow claws and ripped open the cages op Wing and Wei, hoping they would help him open the others or at least fight of the soldiers heading his way.

"Go! Leave us here and travel to Republic City, warn the others!"

"Bu-"

"I said go Bolin. I know you're trying to do what's right after you messed up, but you won't escape if you don't leave now. We will be fine."

Bolin nodded and started to lava-bend, opening a giant pathway, for them to run thru, the sides of it surrounded by lava burning everything it touched. He turned back to Suyin looking sad and said "I'll be back for you." With that the three ran off into the woods, where they met up with Verick. Bolin quickly cut off the extra metal he had on the board before they got on and flew off.

"How are you doing this?" Wu asked

"Metal-bending. You guys just use it to throw ropes around and bend metal into shapes and forms, but you could have used it for travel by bending the magnetic fields around it with your mind to create hover-boards." Bolin said emotionlessly. "It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's really easy. Mental bending skills are harder to learn thought."

Kuvira watched as they disappeared over the mountains travelling at high speeds. She was angry, but didn't show her emotions on the outside.

Hopefully I will be completelydone by tomorrow and upload the last bit of this...
