Authors note: hey guys here is chapter 2 which is going to take place of episode 3. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own legend of Korra

"Hey Bo I'm back I got your favorite dumplings" Mako was walking up the stairs to the attic of the pro bending arena. Mako got to the couch and sat down tired from his long day of working.

"I found some work at the power plant it pays pretty good". Mako opened the bag containing the dumplings and shoved one in his mouth. Not hearing any response from his brother he stood up from the couch and started to walk around the apartment.

"Bo?". He asked aloud again."You here bro?". Mako wasn't getting an answer and he walked up to the large window on the top floor and looked out it. He saw Air Temple Island and got an idea."Maybe he went to go visit Korra". Mako then threw his shoes back on and walks down several flights of stairs and out the front exit.

After waking several blocks he finally reached the docks and had to wait a little while for the next ferry to arrive and take him to air temple island. Mako started to get bad feelings in his stomach about Bolin.'What if he got kidnapped by the triple threats or was injured and he couldn't get home or any help'.

Mako shook those thoughts out of his head because he heard the loud beep of the ferry docking in. He walked towards the boat handed the ticket man his ticket and got on the boat. Thoughts still going through his head rapidly about his missing and possibly injuries brother.

20 minutes later the ferry finally arrived to air temple island and Mako got off quickly. He walked up the long flight of stairs and entered the courtyard. He saw several nomads walking around the courtyard all doing separate jobs but Korra was not in sight.

"Hello how may I help you?".

Mako turned quickly to the right and saw a female nomad smiling at her.

"Ah yes I'm Mako and I'm just looking for Korra".

"Of course Korra is just up those flight of stairs practicing her airbending with Jinora".

She pointed to the flight of stairs right in front of Mako across the courtyard."Thank you".

Mako walked across the courtyard getting multiple hellos and some nomads stopping him to ask if he needed any help. But every time they asked Mako politely said "No thank you". Mako liked the air nomads because of how friendly and helpful they were.

Mako finally got to the stairs and walked quickly up them to see Jinora airbending the large wooden doors and Korra walking through them dodging each one. Mako was impressed to see how well Korra was at dodging even though she would complain to him how she couldn't blast a single gust of wind from her body.

Korra had finished dodging and bent her head down breathing and taking a quick break. Mako noticed this and started to walk behind her quietly so she couldn't hear him. Jinora noticed Mako and looked at him confusingly but Mako put a finger to his mouth to get her to be quiet and she picked up on it immediately.

Jinora couldn't help it though so she started to giggle in her hands. Korra heard the giggling and immediately shot her head up and looked at Jinora confused.

"What's so funny?".

"Nothing nothings funny". But Jinora couldn't stop giggling as Mako got closer and closer to Korras back until finally he wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up into the air.

"Hey hey put me down" Korra couldn't stop laughing. After a couple of more seconds Mako put her down and she quickly turned around and punched him playfully in the arm.

"You scarred me a little mr hat trick" Korra said laughing.

Korra then turned her focus to his eyes and saw the hurt and sadness in his eyes. She couldn't stand to see Mako the love of her life sad and all she wanted to do was cheer him up.

"Mako?..." Korra asked softly.

Mako returned out of his gaze and answered her."Yes Korra".

"What's wrong I can tell when something is bothering you".

Makos smile then turned back into a frown and he stared away from her again. After a couple seconds of silence Mako answered."Bolin is missing I came over here to see if he was visiting but I guess not".

"Do you know where he might be" Korra asked.

Mako sighed and said "I don't know but Bolin has a record of getting into stupid situations, well I guess I will see you later". Mako turned away from Korra and started for the stairs.

"Hold on there" Korra grabbed on Makos shoulder. "I'm coming to".

"No it's fine Korra I can find Bolin on my own". Mako broke from Korra grip on his shoulder and started for the stairs again.

But of course she grabs him again this time his wrist."Wait city boy I can help we can take Naga she is an excellent tracker".

Mako sighs silently knowing that Korra isn't going to stop until he agrees and he finally says. "Alright Korra but we have to go now".

"Alright alright let's go" Korra stuck out her fingers and whistled. A few seconds later her polar bear dog Naga appeared right next to her owner Korra.

Korra hopped on the back of Naga and stuck out her hand for Mako. He quickly took her hand and she pulled him up onto Nagas back landing right behind her.

"Oh hold on a second" Korra yelled jumping off the back of Naga and ran towards one of the benches. She picked up Makos father scarf that he gave to her as a gift and quickly put it around her neck. She then ran back to Naga and jumped back onto Naga.

"It looks like you forgot something" Mako said teasing her.

Korra turned to face Mako and said "Yeah the guy I loved gave it to me".

Mako smiled and so did Korra they quickly leaned in for a kiss savoring each others warm lips.

Soon Korra broke away and turned back around. "Naga run" and immediately Naga ran through air temple island and jumped off of the cliff into the water. Korra quickly waterbended an air bubble around them as they swam through they bay to republic city.

After about 10 minutes of swimming they reached the shore of Republic city.

"So Mako where should we start looking" Korra asked patiently.

Mako thought for a second trying to remember where his brother went most of the time when he went out. That's when it hit him Bolin loved to go to the city square and talk to the other homeless kids and play with them.

"Yeah wow how come I didn't think of it sooner lets go check the city square, he usually hangs around there".

"Alright but you are going to have to tell me where to go city boy I don't know much of where anything is yet".

Mako told Korra the directions to the square in return she tells Naga the directions to run towards. After 30 minutes of going through the city they reached the square and started to look around for Nolin but he was again no where to be found which made Mako more worried about his little brother.

"Mako he's not here I'm sorry".

But before he could say anything to Korra that's when he saw a familiar face one of the kids that Bolin talked to when he came here. Mako ran to the little kid startling Korra.

"Mako? Mako where are you going". Korra asked and then ran after him.

Mako ran into the crowd and grabbed the kid out of the crowd of his friends and brought him to a private spot.

Korra noticed this and she had no idea what he was going to do with that kid so she ran faster just in case.

When Korra got to the two Mako and the little kid were laughing and giving each other a handshake. Korra was relieved when she saw that and gave Mako a smile.

After finishing his laugh Makos tone went back to his serious tone and asked the kid "You seem my brother around today?".

The kid smirked a little and said "I don't know my memory is a little hazy maybe you can help me clear it" the kid started to rub his fingers asking for money for the information.

"You're good Scuchi a real con artist" Mako said handing him a quarter of the payment he received at the power plant today.

"yeah I seen him."

"When?"

"About noon".

"What was he doing?".

"He was performing some monkey rat circus and..." the kid put his hand out for more money and Mako gave him 20 more yuans.

"And what?".

"Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash Bolin took it and got it in his hot rod it looks like they are getting some extra muscle for something big, alright that's all you are getting out of me". The kid ran off back to his friends.

"What was that kid talking about Mako?".

"Bolin just got himself into the middle of a turf war". Korra was shocked when she heard that and watched Mako throw a fireblast down the alley way in a fit of frustration.

After calming down he turned towards Korra and said "Quickly get on Naga I know where to find Bolin" he yelled running by Korra. She was surprised by what he said how does he know where Bolin is? If he knows where the triads stay why doesn't he tell the authorities.

She was so deep in thought that she didn't realize that Mako was next to her on top of Naga and waiting for her to get on. Korra quickly jumped on the back of Naga behind Mako and put her arms around his waist.

"Mako before we go anywhere I just want you to know that I love you".

Mako stopped what he was doing and turned around to face Korra. She saw the happiness in his eyes when she said that and that made Korra happy to see.

"I love you so much Korra and I'm so glad that you came".

"It's my pleasure city boy, now let's go find your brother so we can go home and rest".

"Alright Naga run" Mako yelled controlling Naga this time instead of Korra.

They ran through the city getting deeper and deeper into triple threat territory. They ran by one block and found Bolins pet pabu which made Mako worry more because Bolin never went anywhere without pabu.

"we are getting close now" Mako said.

Korra finally decided to ask Mako "Mako how do you know where the hideout of the triple threats is?"

Korra felt Mako tense to her question which made Korra want to know his answer even more but she didn't want Mako to feel uncomfortable.

"Mako if you don't want to answer you-" Mako cut him off by putting his finger to her mouth.

"No no its okay you see when I was younger I did some work for the triple threats and-". Then Mako was cut off by Korra."Wait we're you some sort of criminal".

Mako remembered all of the dirty jobs he had to do to get food for his brother but he couldn't tell Korra what he did. Mako had to lie quickly or Korra would catch on.

"No no I just ran some messages for them I had to feed Mako and that's the only thing I did for them".

"Alright that's fine then as long it was for Bolin, you know you are a really caring guy and that's what I love the most about you".

Mako sighed knowing his big lie and said "Yeah for Bolin".

Mako then noticed the house and pulled the rope on Naga to stop her."We are here". Mako pointed to this little house with a big porch and over hang.

Both Korra and Mako jumped off of Naga and landed into fighting stances. Mako walked up to the door while Korra walked to the head of Naga and said "Naga stay". Naga barked lightly and licked Korra."Good girl" and then Korra turned and made her way to Mako who was creeping around on the front porch.

"This isn't good they usually have people waiting outside".

Mako walked up to the door and put his ear on the front of it to see if he can hear anybody talking inside."Alright let's see if we can find a way inside" Mako said quietly.

He turned to see Korra next to him smiling and he caught her drift immediately and walked out of the way of the door. Korra then kicked the door down and the two teens saw no one at all in the house except the chairs and tables were flipped over showing a fight and some struggles.

"What happened in here?" Mako said cautiously.

Mako ran out the back door, Korra immediately coming out the door behind him. Then they saw a black truck with the triple threat leaders in the back and then Mako saw his brother in the back of the van to with tape over his mouth.

"Bolin!" Mako screams alerting the men in black suits. The men immediately got in the van and two of them got on motorcycles and drove behind the main van.

Korra reacted quick to them driving away by yelling "Naga come" and then Naga burst through the wall and landed right next to Korra. The two teens got on quickly and started to chase after the men.

They both eventually caught up with the men on motorcycles and got into a heated fight but they had a form of fighting that Korra has never seen or heard of before. She was jabbed multiple times by the person and immediately fell to the ground weak. Soon enough Mako joined her on the ground right next to her.

They were about to finish Mako and Korra off with restraints. Then suddenly Naga jumped in front of Mako and Korra hitting the two men backwards. Instead of fighting the polar bear dog the two of them threw down gas and ran back to their motorcycles driving away.

With some help from Naga, Korra stood up on her feet and tried to bend. She kept throwing her fists out and started to get scarred and mad at the same time."I can't can't bend". Korra finally said.

Thats when Mako spoke up and said."Don't worry it's wears off those guys were chi blockers Amons henchman of the equalists".

"Equalists they really don't like benders. What do you think they want with Bolin and the triple threats." Korra asked.

"I don't know but whatever it is it can't be good".

Mako sighed and said."I have no idea where the equalists hide out is now we are on a major dead end. Do you have any ideas?".

Korra thought to herself and she remembered when she first came to Republic City and she came across the equalist speaker and got into an argument with him. Then she got an idea.

Korra got on Naga and walked over towards Mako. Nagas nose nudged the back of Makos head which caused him to turn around to see Korra on top of her polar bear dog smiling down at him.

"I guess you have an idea Korra" Mako said laughing.

"You bet I do Mr Hat Trick, quick get on". She held out her hand to Mako and he grabbed it quickly getting on the back of Naga.

She turned to smile at him and then she put her mouth next to Nagas ear and said "Naga park". Naga knew what she was talking about and ran there.

They got to the park in the middle of the night and Korra walked Naga over to a tree right across from the spot the equalist speaker was the last time and told Naga to sit.

Mako and Korra got off of Naga so she can put her back up against the tree. When Naga finished comforting herself the two teens sat down against the stomach of Naga.

"Right there that's where I saw the equalist speaker the first day I came here". Korra pointed right in front of them.

The two tales for an hour about the upcoming pro bending matches and Mako asked her how her airbending training was going. Korra told him how mad she was getting at the fact that she couldn't bend a single gust of wind.

Korra then shivered form the cold and put her new red scarf against her face but that wasn't even enough for her and her whole body was shivering. Mako had noticed this and acted quickly.

He put his hands around Korras neck and brought her body closer. Putting her head in his chest and the rest of her body against his warm firebender body.

This made Korra smile he was showing again how caring he was."Mako thank you so much I know you are having a terrible time because of your brother being kidnapped but thank you for still caring for me".

Mako looked down to see Korra smiling and that instantly put one to his face."Korra I love you so much too and I will always care for you and be there for you". Mako said and then he kissed her temple softly.

She enjoyed that so much and she snuggled her head closer to his warm chest and instantly fell asleep. It took Mako a little longer to fall asleep he was hoping that his brother was alright and that nothing serious happened to him.

Mako then fell asleep by putting his cheek on top of Korras head.

THE NEXT MORNING

"EQUALITY NOW, EQUALITY NOW. People of Republic City stop living in the shadows of the benders and come out tonight to the revelation".

The two teens woke up to that sentence and saw the speaker for the equalists was there. Korra instantly got up because she also had a bone to pick with this guy. Mako followed behind her quickly.

"uh Avatar you will not silence me this time" the speaker said.

"shut your trap hole now listen up a couple of chi blockers took one of my friends yesterday where did they take them". Korra asked

"I have no idea what you are talking about but if he is a bender he is getting what's coming to him".

Korra heard enough and she earthbent a rock underneath the table and sent the flyers flying into the sky. The speaker quickly got on the ground and started to pick them up. Mako noticed this and picked up a couple of flyers.

"Witness the revelation tonight at 7:00" Mako said to himself.

"Hey what is this revelation all about" Mako asked looking down at the speaker still on the ground.

"It's none of your concern bender".

Korra then picked him up by his shirt about to ask him another question when the three of them heard a loud whistle coming from the bridge behind them.

"Hey what's going on over there" the police officer yelled.

"Help the Avatar is trying to oppress us" the speaker yelled out the cop.

Korra quickly dropped the guy and they both ran towards Naga jumped on and ran out of the park.

After running for a little while they got to a bus stop and were trying to figure out where this revelation would be. They noticed a pattern on the back showing a map of where the meeting was.

Mako and Korra went to the location dressed as normal people and holding hands. When they got to the form door they were stopped by a large guard.

"Invitation please" the guard said.

Neither Mako or Korra knew what he was talking about. They had to think before there cover was blown. Mako then thought of it he took out one of the flyers he picked up and handed it to the guard.

"Here you go".

The guard looked at it closely and smiled. He handed the flyer back to him and said."Welcome my brother and sister the revelation awaits".

Korra and Mako walked through the door with sweat dripping down their forehead because of how nervous they were.

They got inside the room and got front row seats to the revelation.

After another 20 minutes of waiting smoke started to rise from around the stadium and an announcer came on.

"Brothers and Sisters we introduce your hero, your savior Amon". The floor rose and it showed multiple chi blockers, a guy with electric rods and finally the last one the guy with the Red and yellow mask that she saw on all the flyers.

The two teens watched as he walked towards the mic and started to speak. Saying how his parents were killed by a firebender and how that firebender burnt his face so he has to wear the mask. He then said something that made everyone in the warehouse stand on their feet. He said that he could take a persons bending away permanently.

"No that's impossible right" Korra asked.

"No not entirely remember Aang defeated the fire lord by taking his bending away but I don't know how Amon could get this kind of power".

They both listened closer when he said."Now time for a showing".

Amon signaled his lieutenant and brought in five men one of them being Bolin he was the last one in line. Mako gasped and so did Korra.

"Let me introduce Lightning Bolt Zolt leader of the triple threats and 4 of his men".

"Booooooo" came from the crowd and Zolt turned towards the crowd saying."ahhhhhhhhhh up yours".

They put them in a line Zolt going first."Now I will give Zolt a chance to keep his bending". The chi locker untied his arms and sent him flying forward in from of Amon.

Zolt showed a smirk towards Amon and said "you're going to regret doing that pal". Zolt then fired a humongous lightning bolt at Amon but he was to fast for Zolt. Amon dodged all of the attacks and finally got to Zolt and sent him on his knees. Amon then put his thumb on Zolts forehead and sent him to the floor.

Zolt got up fast and tried sending more fire at him but nothing was coming out."What did you do to me?".

"I took your bending away you are now purified of your disease".

Korra gasped and saw Mako about to run on stage but Korra grabbed his wrist and stopped him he turned around to see Korra frowning.

"Korra let me go I have to get Bolin before his bending is gone". But Korra grip just got tighter.

"No Mako I have a plan that will be better then just running up on stage".

Mako then calmed down and Korra released her grip."What's the plan Korra?".

Korra went over her plan quickly because they were already on the third triad member and Bolin was up in two. Korra went to the pressure pipes to create fog and when that happens Mako would jump onto the stage in the fog cover and grab his brother.

Korra was having trouble bending the steam but finally she got it just in time because Bolin had just been thrown into fight Amon. The fog came and Mako ran on stage to get his brother. Bolin was then grabbed by a chi blocker but Mako grabbed the chi blocker and flung him over his shoulder.

Mako and Bolin quickly hugged and ran towards the back entrance climbing down the ladder. But this was spoiled when Mako looked up to see the lieutenant with his electro staffs before Mako could say anything he shocked the ladder and electrocuted both brothers sending them flying down to the pavement.

They quickly get off of the floor and into a fighting stance ready to defend themselves until Korra comes to pick them up on Naga.

The man jumps down from the ladder and ignites his electro staffs. Mako is the first to attack by sending fireblasts at him while Bolin quickly follows him with multiple earth discs flung at him.

But the man quickly dodges the attacks and heads right for Mako. Mako being a pro bender has some advantages when it comes to dodging but even the captain can't dodge for long eventually he gets hit by both of them and he falls to the ground in so much pain.

Bolin notices and gets extremely mad he bends tons of earth at him at once still not hitting him. The man runs at him in defense Bolin bends a big wall in front of him but the guy flips over it and uses the wall to pin Bolin and shove the sticks farther in. After a little while Bolin dropped to the ground in pain.

"You benders got to learn there is no place in the world for you anymore". He was about to signal his men but he was unexpectantly hit by a boulder sending him flying back in pain.

He looks up to see the Avatar."Don't count us out yet". Korra said confidently.

She saw more chi blockers coming and she whistles for Naga. Naga comes in a couple of seconds. Mako wasn't awake so Korra had to put him on the back of Naga with his stomach laying on her back with his head and feet laying on the sides.

They had no time for Bolin so Korra jumped on Naga and ran towards Bolin. Naga picked Bolin up with her mouthand carried him away in her mouth.

They had gotten away and Korra brought the two brothers to Air temple Island because they still weren't awake from the fight. While they were riding towards the Island Korra saw both of their wounds they were deep because of the voltage of the electro staffs.

She had been waiting in the waiting room for the white lotus healers to come out and tell her how they two brothers were doing. It was killing her on the inside to know that her boyfriend and love of her life was injured and she still didn't have any news on him.

She was sitting comfortably in the chair when the white lotus doctor came out to talk to her.

"Hello doctor so what's going on? Are they ok?". Korra was asking frantically.

"Yes yes they are fine quite lucky boys though that voltage could have killed them but they will be better by tomorrow morning".

"Thank you so much doctor, but can I see them?".

"Yes of course they are both awake".

Korra didn't need any more response she quickly walked through the doors to see the two brothers laying in their separate beds talking.

They stopped talking when they saw Korra and Mako smiled. Korra ran over to Mako and hugged him so tight that it forced air out of his lungs.

"K-K-Korra I'm still injured here" Mako said with shortness of breath.

Korra pulled away quickly when she heard that and said."I'm sorry Mako but you really had me scarred".

Mako laughed a little and said."You can't get rid of me that easily Avatar".

Korra returned the laugh and blushed. Then she got serious "Mako can you promise me something?".

"What is it Korra?".

"Can you promise me that you will not die from getting hurt I will not be able to live with myself if you die from cutting something open or breaking something in your body".

Mako gave Korra a little smile and said "I promise".

Korra smiled at what she said and yawned after that.

"Looks like the Avatar is a little tired after a big day" Mako said teasing her.

"Yeah and you won't be able to sleep with me tonight because you'll be in here". Korra said pouting.

"I don't know about that" Mako then moved his covers down and invited her to join him.

Korra was hesitant at first but she didn't decline his offer and she quickly got into his bed. Mako turned his body to the left so Korra can snuggle into the warmth of his bare chest.

Korra was about to fall asleep when Mako said."Will you be here when I wake up".

Korra nods in his chest and says."I am not going anywhere city boy".

Mako kisses her forehead lightly and whispers into her ear."I love you so much Korra".

Korra puts a playful kiss on Makos chest and says."I love you to Mako".

And they drift off to sleep with no cares at the moment.
