10 years after….
"Mako."
"Mako, wake up."
"Makooooooo!"
Mako fluttered his heavy eyes and gave a scowl look at his cheerful brother who was jumping up and down near his king size bed.
"…..Bolin?"
The handsome prince wasn't an early bird; he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Bolin give me a few minutes of sleep…please." He grumbled. He dug himself down the silky golden, decorated blankets. Everything was fancy and luxurious in Mako's room such as the giant paintings of Prince Mako. All of his sofas and chairs are made out turtle duck feathers with golden frames. A line of equalists guards outside his room looking for unwelcomed visitors.
"Amon has finally captured Tenzin and his three children!"
Mako's eyes widen as big as cabbages, his jaws dropped by the surprising news. Not only that but the news made his heart race with joy and excitement. Those words were ringing in his mind yet he couldn't believe it. " You mean Aang's son and his grandchildren?"
"Yes bro, what did I tell ya? Amon gotta do what Amon gotta do." Bolin giggled as he slapped his own knee for a comedic effect. He snorted a few times and laughed out "Instead of a man I said Amon? Huh? Huh? Get it?"
Mako gave a stern look at him, "Enough with the Amon jokes,"
"Amon hates those jokes, you know how he gets pissed hearing you saying those kind of stuff." Mako muttered as he rolled his eyes.
Bolin playfully punched Mako on his shoulders, "Come on, man! Have some humor in your life!" He said with a cheerful manner.
"I'm the Prince of Republic City, I have no time for humor. This is serious job, you know?"
"Yeah yeah yeah, prince of Republic City blah blah blah" Bolin mimicked his brother's serious speech by using his hand as a "mouth".
Mako whispered, "Bolin, Is he gonna kill them? Or take away their bending?"
Bolin bit his lips, "….I'm not sure….why?"
"You know why, remember?" Mako turned away from Bolin, shutting his eyes tightly.
Changing the touchy subject since he knew Mako was uneasy about it he asked,"Hey Mako, I have a question."
Mako shoved the golden decorated silky blankets on the side and stretched his muscularly shoulders, "What?"
"Do you think the Avatar is a girl or a boy?"
" I don't give a damn, as long as I capture the Avatar!" Mako snarled with venom in his voice.
Bolin leaned back by his furious brother whose eyes were flaming with fire. "Ummm…well, I'm also here to tell you that you will be announcing the news about his capture to Republic City at 2pm. It's under Amon's order."
Mako stretched his long legs and his neck that made a small crunch sound and said, "Alright, let me get dressed."
Bolin walked off backwards, almost tripping Mako's expensive shoes, "See ya, Mako! Meet me at that Golden Dragon Noodles, first! Asami is gonna be there too! I'm sure she will cheer you up!" Bolin gave him a thumb's up and left. He closed the grand doors leaving Mako alone.
Finally, the lazy prince got off from his enormous king sized bed; his bare feet touched the cold marble floors. Shivering by the cold touch, he grabbed a pair of socks. Then, he grabbed his red and black fur robe that complicated his golden eyes.
Looking for any sign of the sun, he opened the handles of grand windows.
Mako closed his dried eyes and took a deep breath again. He opened his eyes and saw that there was no cloud in sight just the bright warm sun. The weather was a bit windy for the morning but Mako didn't care. He stared at "Amon's" statue, which covered Aang's face by Amon's mask. Underneath the statue was a clock; he thought to himself " 9:00 am, only four more hours till I make a speech to my people. Time passes by so fast, it seems like a week ago that I was just little boy and now I'm an adult." Mako turned away but looked back at the "Amon's" statue one last time, " Thank you Amon, I will capture the Avatar." Mako closed the windows and got dressed. He wore a fine tux and went out towards the streets of Republic City.
"What is this crap? That statue is horrible and disgusting! Amon doesn't deserve this! Aang does!" Korra yelled at "Amon's" statue as she was throwing rocks at the corrupt statue. She was hiding in the bushes trying to be sneaky but the "Amon's statue" pushed her buttons to the max.
Then a small boat roamed by which was filled with equalists patrolling near "Amon's statue" in search for any benders escaping the city. If a bender gets caught escaping Republic City, he or she will get punished under Amon's laws. Many benders try to swim out of Republic City but failed in the process, which cost them their life or their bending.
Korra dug herself deeper in the bushes, as she watches the boats filled with equalists passing by. Luckily, the equalists didn't notice, she sighed and sneaked her way to the next bush and the next one after that. She looked again from left to right and sprinted towards Yue's Bay and jumped into the cold waters. She swam deep into the mysterious waters, as long she avoided those boats, she's safe. All she can think of is her mission. A mission to save Tenzin's family from punishment but this wasn't any ordinary family; they are the last air benders in the world.
"I'm closer to the city," she thought to herself as she swam closer towards Republic City. She swam towards a deserted dock as fast as she can. Slowly lifting herself, she saw Republic City for the first time. Her mouth dropped.
" I have never seen so many Satomoblies!" Korra's eyes were as wide as cabbages as she stared with amazement as she examined the rows of Satamoblies stuck in traffic.
She dried herself by twisting her pants and her tight wet tank top that showed her abs. After that, Korra slowly walked towards the streets of Republic City.
Glurrpp * Her stomached growled loud as bison. " Oh I should get something to eat fast, all of that swimming took my energy out." She saw a nearby restaurant that sells noodles. " WHOA! Golden Dragon Noodles? Now this is my kind of food!" Korra ran towards the restaurant and…OOUFF
All she was felt a hard bump and the next thing you know she was on the floor, confused. " HEY! WATCH WHERE YOUR'E GOING YOU BRAT!"
Korra shook her head and saw a tall man on the floor, wearing the finest tux with golden eyes.
Korra snapped,"WHAT? WATCH WHERE YOUR'E GOING, YOU HAVE EYES RIGHT? SO USE THEM!"
His jaw dropped by her sassy tone and shouted back, " DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM, YOU FREAK?"
" MAKOOOOOOO! There you are!" Bolin ran towards him and picked up his brother from the ground. " Oh! Hellloooo! Who is this girl?" Bolin gave Korra a hand, she grabbed his hand and stood up.
" My name is Korra, and you are?"
"I'm Bolin and this is my older brother, Mako." Mako dusted off the dirt on his shoulders and gave Korra a scowl.
Bolin was puzzled by Korra's outfit, "I have to say….I never seen that type of outfit. Korra…. where did you get it? I have never seen anything like that in the city….."
"Oh this?" Korra pointed herself, " My mother made it for me. Shes ummm some fashion designer"
"Figures…. weird girl…. weird mom…equals weird outfits." Mako snapped back her once again.
Korra's eyes shot directly at Mako giving him a cold stare, "What did you say, you little ASS...!
"AAAASSAMI!", Bolin shouted.
A young slim lady with wavy raven hair and emerald eyes, entered gracefully as she parked her satamobile right in front of them. She wore a strapless red dress and a puffy white fur coat.
Mako drooled by her stunning beauty, "Asami…you look beautiful."
"Oh, Mako you're too kind." Asami giggled as she covered her mouth.
Asami saw Korra standing there and asked, "Oh, who's the new girl?"
"Ah, she's nothing." Mako muttered.
"This is our new friend, Korra and she will be joining us for lunch!" Bolin said delight.
"NEW FRIEND?" Mako and Korra shouted with disgust giving Bolin a sharp look.
"No no no…I should be going, I have to do something important." Korra's stomach growled, she stepped back but Bolin grabbed her wrist, " I insist. We will pay for your meal."
Mako twitched from Bolin's random invitation, " Will you excuse us for a moment? I need to talk to my baby brother."
"Baby brother!? Hey I'm not a baby!" Bolin pouted. Mako grabbed Bolin's shoulder and dashed away from the girls, into an alley nearby.
Mako yelled with angry, " WHAT THE HELL, ARE YOU DOING?"
"Calm down bro, she's cute!"
"CUTE? SHE'S DISRESPECTFUL!"
Bolin started to complain and whined, "Besides, you have a date with Asami, and I don't want to be a third wheel." Bolin had a sad look in his face; he was a bit jealous that Mako always had the fangirls.
Mako sighed and understood Bolin's position. " Alright, Bo. You win. I just think you can do better than that weird Korra chick."
"Thank you, Mako! I'm so excited! OFF AWAY TO MY NEW DATE!" Bolin marched away with pride, heading towards Korra.
Makos put his hands into his pockets and kick a rusty can off the side. He sighed and whispered to himself, " That girl is so…strange."
