Republic City

Korra was tired. A parade, two banquets, and a drunken argument over whether or not Nucktuk would survive the next installment of Bolin's movers had left her heavy eyed and dreary.

"Can we go home yet Asami. I want to sleep before the sun comes up if that's to much to ask."

"Sorry Korra, but we've got one last stop before calling it a night" Asami said as she looked at her friend who was already nodding off in the passenger seat.

An hour later the two arrived in front of an old building with a large gate surrounding the perimeter. Korra woke up as the Sato-mobile came to a halt in front of the doors. Their stood an old lady who gave off a feeling of comfort too anyone who saw her. But for those who knew her it was a different story.

"It's about damn time you got here! I nearly died of old age waiting for you. Think that just cause your the Avatar and some Nimbo Billionaire you can be late."

"Sorry Aunty Mai." Asami said as she dragged Korra out the car door. "It's been a hectic day."

"Don't give me any of that ballony. I've had to deal with a hundred little monsters while you and your girlfriend were romping about."

By now Korra had woken up enough to join in on the conversation. "What's that about Monsters?"

Aunty Mai looked over at the avatar. "I've been fighting these things all day. Finally managed to look them up but I nearly broke my back. You two are going in there and dealing with those things."

Asami looked concerned. "I thought you said you would try to sedate them. If we go in like this it will be a bloodbath."

Korra was now getting frustrated. "Will someone please just tell me what going on!"

Just as Asami was about to answer, a loud bang was heard from behind the door. Followed by another. Then Another.

"Oh no." Mai said as she slowly backed away. "They're coming."

Korra was still confused as ever. "That's it, I'm going." She reached for the door handle but before she could open the doors burst open. Korra was blinded by a sea of movement, noise, and... party hats?

"Surprise!"

Korra was in shock as 20 little children surrounded her and dragged her into the building. She protested and looked to Asami for help but only saw her giggling in the background.

"What's going on?" She asked as the children began toppling onto her and burying her beneath. mountain of sugar coated brats.

Asami, now recovered from her laughing, fit began to excavate Korra from her tomb and helped her to her feet.

"You were invited to a birthday party and we couldn't refuse." She said as she strapped a paper hat to the Avatar head.

"Huh, well who's birthday is it?" Korra asked as she observed the crowd for a potential candidate.

"I'm afraid we'll have to move the party upstairs for that." Mai said as she lead the group through the winding staircases and halls of the house. "You see Avatar, this building is an orphanage for children who are very sick. We have a medical staff and the best medicine money can buy, but the truth is most children here will never make it past their 18th birthday. Usually, we do the best we can to comfort a child in their last days, but now thanks to a generous donation from The Sato-family we have been able to help make these kids dreams come true."

"And that's where you come in." Asami said as she stopped to acknowledge the bust of Avatar Aang who had helped found the organization. "A little girl has asked to have a personal visit with you."

"What? And you guys never thought to tell me?" Korra asked, surprised by this new turn of events.

"It was sort of last minute, her health took a turn for the worse and we weren't sure how serious it was. Here we are. Before we go in there I'd like to prepare you two. This girl has been through a lot. She was kidnapped from her family at a young age by equalist extremists. When a trade off went lopsided things got ugly and she was caught in the middle of it. A poisonous gas grenade nearly killed her and did terrible damage to her skin. Her body was on the brink of death when a water bender saved her life, but not before the scars were burnt deep into her skin. Don't gasp or make any reaction when you see her." Mai warned the girls as she unlocked the door.

The first thing the girls noticed when they walked in was the smell. It reeked like decay. Korra had to clench down not to gag. The second thing they noticed was a small lump sitting in the bead. Small patches of hair covered it's head while a series of tubes protruded from its arms. Where limps had once been we're now replaced by thin skin and what wasn't covered in bandages was burnt and twisted like it had been pulled and stretched beyond its limit. Korra and Asami felt like crying as the looked upon the small frame of what once might have been a beautiful girl.

"Hello, who's there?" Asked the girl in a small nervous voice.

Korra stepped forward and bent down to stare at the girl. "Hi there, my names Korra, I heard you were a fan of mine so I stopped by to say hello. What's your name."

"My name is Kyato. Are you really her? I've only heard your voice on the radio but somehow I know that you must be her." She said as tears began to form in her eyes. " I've waited so long to meet you, and now here you are, standing in my room."

Korra smiled as she wiped away the tears from the child's face. Mai left the room, leaving the two heroes alone with the girl. As soon as the door clicked shut, the expression on the girls face changed.

"I need to tell you something, and I need you to listen. Can you do that?"

Korra and Asami were shocked at the sudden change in the girl, but before they could ask any questions they were silenced by a loud noise coming from outside the door followed by screaming.

"Shit, they found us. There's no time to explain. Asami, reach under my bed. There should be a small tube with a handle and trigger on it. If you see something that's not human, just point and click."

Korra still confused, turned to confront Kyato, but when she looked at the bed, there was nothing but sheets.

"Where did she go? And what in the world is this?" Asked Asami as she pulled out a strange looking device. The tube had detailed carvings along the barrel and a canister at one end with metal pieces. The device then curved into a J shape with a trigger and a few switches.

"That is a Hand Cannon, and it will rip apart just about anything if you know how to use it."

"And if you don't?"

"You might end up with a hole the size of an apple where your brain used to be. Now come on, tuck that piece somewhere safe and move we've gotta..."

And just like that the room exploded.

Earth: Old Greenland Territory

"And that was the third time my great grandfather meet the Lochness Monster. Now the fourth time..."

Devrox never got to finish that statement because right at that moment a high impact sniper round whizzed past his face.

"Stop Citizen. You are now entering a militarized zone. Please vacate the premises or the use of lethal force will be authorized. You have one minute to comply." a loud, Robotic voice boomed from seemingly nowhere.

"Looks like we found our place. Where are all the enemies though? Thought that this was supposed to be a highly hostile area." Asked Devrox.

"I don't know, but someone or something has tripped the security systems here." Replied Spirit as he bean hacking into the security systems.

"30 SECONDS!" Boomed the invisible voice

"What the? Oh shit! Devrox you might want to start running. The security system is acting strangely. It seems like we've tripped one of the scorched earth policies left from back when the Russian were running the Earths Defense."

Devrox tried to move his feet but saw they were frozen to the ground.

"Spirit, we might have a problem. My legs are frozen" Devrox said as he desperately reached for his auto rifle and tried breaking off the ice. But every time he took of a chunk the ice seemed to reform."

"Oh you have got to be kidding-"

"15 SECONDS!"

"Alright I'm diverting all suit powers and available resources to shielding and armor thickness."

Devrox felt the weight of the armor increase and saw the shield capacity rise 300%.

"You have failed to exit the praises and shall now be dealt with accordingly."

A large boom cold be hard as a Jericho Missile was launched into their vicinity.

"A bit overkill don't you think?" Devrox coughed as the missile grew increasingly closer.

"Hey Devrox."

"Yeah?"

"5 SECONDS."

"If God exist, 20 bucks says it's a she."

"I'm not usually a betting man but I'll take you up on it."

"THANK YOU FOR VISITING THE NATIONAL GREENLAND DEFENSE RESEARCH FACILITY! WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!"

That was the last thing they ever heard before they were disintegrated by a small thermo-nuclear blast.
