I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender, Bionicle or Avatar: the Legend of Korra and no copyright infringement is intended.

FINEALLY! This took so long to write, and not due to lack of trying but due to an overdose of homework. Hopefully I haven't lost any of you in the time it took to write this. Enjoy the chapter and don't worry, this story looks like it's going to be just as epic (or more, if that's possible) as Champion of Ice. Don't forget to review.

Chapter 1

Reunion

Lhikan shook his head. In the last twelve years he thought he had seen everything. But this…

"But I thought that there couldn't be any more Avatars. Aang was killed while in the Avatar state.., doesn't that mean that there will never be another Avatar?" they were in Ty Lee's and Korra's camp. Lhikan was talking to Korra while Ty Lee tried to get a fire going. Korra shrugged at Lhikan's question.

"Hey, I never thought that I was the Avatar… Matoro did. Apparently Aang came and told him that there was a new Avatar, and that I was it." Lhikan nodded. Matoro had the greatest connection to the spirit world of anyone he knew. It made sense that if Aang was going to tell anyone it would be Matoro.

"Also, Aang technically DID come back. He came through the spirit gate, remember?" Ty Lee pointed out as she tried to start a fire. Lhikan nodded.

"That might have been enough to bring the Avatar spirit back into the world. So I buy the entire 'Avatar is back' thing, but why are you out here, in the middle of the earth kingdom?" Lhikan asked. Ty Lee said nothing for a second as she tried to get the fire started. Lhikan watched for a minute before subtlety setting the sticks ablaze. Ty Lee nodded happily at her supposed victory and then answered his question.

"We're on our way to Ba Sin Se… Korra needs an earthbending teacher and since Toph taught Aang we thought it would make sense that she could do it again."

"That makes sense... but just the two of you?" Lhikan frowned "I know that the majority of the Rahkshi are dead but still, it's not safe for two young women to travel the world alone."

"Hey, I'm not helpless." Ty Lee insisted. "I've been training for twelve years with the Kyoshi warriors."

"And I'm a master waterbender." Korra said. "I've been training since I was six, what have you been doing for the past six years?" she asked. Lhikan sighed.

"Ok Korra, do you know what a Rahkshi is?"

"Katara told me about them." Korra nodded.

"Good, do you know how many of them were left after the final fight with Mutran?"

"Um, a lot of them, where are you going with this?" she frowned.

"Where do you think they went?" Lhikan smiled.

"I guess that someone killed them." She said cautiously.

"I killed them. I have spent the last twelve years hunting them down and killing them, nonstop, and there are probably still some out there." Lhikan leaned back and put his hands behind his head. "That, Korra, is what I've been doing for the last twelve years." Korra looked at him with a slightly increased amount of respect, but not by much. Ty Lee laughed.

"Don't let Korra get to you Lhikan, she's got a permanent skeptical attitude." Korra flipped her hair and glared at Ty Lee.

"Well she certainly is spunky for a twelve year old." Lhikan smiled

"Hello, I'm right here!" Korra interjected.

"As if we could forget," Ty Lee smiled. "So Lhikan, what are your plans?"

"Well, I was planning on dropping by Ba Sin Se to visit Solek and Toph anyway, could I go with you?" Ty Lee nodded enthusiastically.

"You bet! You know… you're the only one from the original group that I haven't been able to keep up with regularly. This should be fun." Lhikan smiled nervously.

"Well, it's getting dark." Korra said. "And since we don't have an extra tent it looks like you're going to have to sleep outside." She looked pointedly at Lhikan.

"Come on Korra, I'm sure we could share." Ty Lee said as she winked at Lhikan.

"No, that won't be necessary." Lhikan smiled. "I've gotten used to sleeping outside, I'll be fine." Ty Lee nodded and the trio started to get ready for bed.

…

Nidhiki looked over the wall to the Southern Water Tribe city and glanced around, there were few guards, and not enough light to make his shadow visible and his special ability would take care of the rest. Making absolutely no sound at all he crept from house to house, peeking in windows in an attempt to find the girl that he had been tasked to retrieve. He didn't find anything to unusual until he came to a large house with a workshop of some kind built onto the back. He crept around and looked in. He saw a normal looking man bent over a table and working with something that looked a lot like a smaller version of a Midak Skyblaster. A beautiful woman walked in and put her hand around his shoulder.

"Come on Matoro, I know that you like to work on things but it's getting late. The kids want you to tell them a story before bed." Matoro stretched and smiled at Katara.

"Ok, ok, I'm coming. I just got distracted; I think that I'm really close to miniaturizing the power source." Katara leaned over and kissed him.

"Yes, I know, but you really should rest… and attend to other duties." She said with a wink.

"Now if that doesn't get me inside then I must be crazy!" He laughed. Then he frowned. "I'm still worried about Korra and Ty Lee though, was it a smart idea to send them out all alone?" Nidhiki was about to walk away when he recognized the name of his target.

"Don't worry Matoro, they're going to Ba Sin Se to meet with Toph and Solek, they might even bump into Lhikan on the way." Nidhiki felt his breath catch in his throat at the sound of that name. Lhikan was here was he? Well, this mission just got more interesting. Matoro sighed and started to follow Katara inside.

"I do wish you would work farther away from the house." Katara said. "I don't want the entire thing melting because of an explosion."

"I'm not Sokka Katara. I haven't blown up the house, yet." Matoro smiled. Had he been paying more attention he might have noticed a slight shadow as Nidhiki snuck away. He had the information he needed, his target was not here, and there was a pretty good chance that he would get to paste Lhikan again. And this time, he would make sure that it was permanent.

…

Korra

As soon as we were in our tent I turned and faced Ty Lee.

"Ok, spill."

"Spill what?" she asked as she changed out of her armor.

"You know what I'm talking about, this guy, Lhikan, you like him don't you?" Ty Lee was so surprised that she accidentally pulled too hard on her glove and it flew off, hitting the side of the tent.

"What… what makes you think that?" she asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh please, I'm twelve, not blind." I scoffed. "Maybe it had something to do with the fact that you practically invited him inside the tent, or that you were undressing him with your eyes, or perhaps that you had us watch him bathe for a full minute before he noticed us. Shall I go on?" Ty Lee had started blushing and by now her face was a bright red.

"Ok," she whispered. "You caught me… but can you keep it down, I don't want him to hear us."

"Why not?" I asked in a slightly quieter voice. Ty Lee sighed.

"It's a long story, but the short version of it is that I've liked him for twelve years, but I've never known how he feels about me." Ty Lee looked down. "I've especially wondered these last six years. He was at my twentieth birthday party but I didn't see him after that until today. Plus, there's another problem."

"Age?" I guessed.

"Well, not really, the problem is that he had to kill someone twelve years ago, someone very close to him… I… I don't think that he ever really recovered from that." I shook my head.

"Wow, of all the guys to fall for you end up liking the millennia old hero with some of the worst relationship baggage I have ever heard of… you really can pick them Ty Lee." I smiled. "I promise that when I finally fall for a guy that he won't be nearly as strange as Lhikan."

"Korra, you're the Avatar… you'll be the weird one in the relationship." Ty Lee laughed. I frowned. As much as I knew that I couldn't avoid being the Avatar I sometimes wished that I wasn't. I knew that there had to be something worse that I could have ended up as… I just didn't know what.

…

Krekka looked at the boat that Nidhiki had stolen, and then he looked at himself, then back at the boat, then at himself again. He did the same thing another three times before it finally registered in his mind.

"Um, Nidhiki… me is too big for boat." He said. Nidhiki took a deep breath and counted to ten.

"Krekka… what did I tell you to do?" he asked.

"Um… smash things that you point too."

"That's right Krekka… now; you just leave the thinking to me and just get in the boat or Karzahni help me…!" Nidhiki pointed to the boat as he was talking and immediately regretted it. Krekka took this as an order and gleefully followed it. Nidhiki grabbed his head and held in his screaming rage.

"Krekka..."

"I smashed the boat, right when you pointed at it."

"Yes Krekka."

"Why are you holding your head?"

"No reason…" Nidhiki walked over to an iceberg and shattered it with a massive blast of air that was strong enough to cause a storm in the fire nation.

"Are you ok Nidhiki?"

"Yeah… I'll be fine... just… just give me a minute." Nidhiki snarled. "Why did I have to be paired with you?"

"Because the Shadowed One said so." Krekka explained. Anyone nearby would have heard Nidhiki erupt in a long string of words that are not printable and would make no sense to any human anyway.

…

Lhikan, Ty Lee and Korra left early the next morning. Korra had taken it upon herself to learn more about Lhikan, whether Ty Lee wanted her to or not.

"So Lhikan… is there someone special in your life?" Ty Lee's mouth dropped at the audacity of Korra's question. Lhikan turned and looked at the young Avatar.

"You certainly like to pry, don't you?" He said as he raised an eyebrow. "If you must know I've been a little busy lately, something about fighting Rahkshi for several years keeps a guy a little too busy for girls. Why do you ask?"

"Oh… no reason." She smiled. "I just thought that it would be weird for a rugged warrior like yourself was single."

"Korra, I am a warrior from another world, I hunt evil robots all day long and when I am not doing that I am tracking them down so that I can fight them. In your world I am the definition of weird." Lhikan said as he kept walking. He suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground.

"What is it?" Ty Lee asked.

"Rahkshi… three of them." Lhikan smiled and glanced at Korra. "What kind of combat training have you had?"

"I trained with Katara and I am a master waterbender." Katara said smugly while putting her hands on her hips. "I'm probably as good as you." Lhikan's smile grew larger.

"Well then… how about a demonstration?" he asked.

"What are you thinking?" Ty Lee asked, excited in spite of herself.

"Well, there can't be any harm teaching Korra some on-the-job combat skills." Lhikan said as he started following the tracks. "Plus, it's on our way."

"Wait… we are talking about Rahkshi, right?" Korra asked. "Do you really think I'm ready for something like that?"

"Relax; I'm going to be helping you." Lhikan said without looking up from the path. "It looks like they're going… into the desert." The three adventurers looked at each other and then at the landscape. The green and grass of the flatlands abruptly changed into a sandy desert. Lhikan started to follow the tracks that were still clear in the sand. Korra grabbed Ty Lee's arm as she started to follow.

"How well do you know this guy again? How do we know that he won't lead us out there and then bail?" She whispered. Ty Lee smiled at her charge and continued after Lhikan.

"Korra, I've known Lhikan since he came here, trust me, there is no way that he would ever betray us.

"Still, how can he think that I'm ready to face these things?" Korra asked.

"Don't worry, if you aren't then the two of us should be able to help." Ty Lee smiled. Korra shook her head in frustration. Adults could be so dumb sometimes.

…

Solek smiled as his son grabbed his hand and held on tight.

"What's wrong Takua?" he asked. "Is the marketplace a little too loud for you?" The small boy nodded and moved closer. Solek's smile grew, there were few things that he enjoyed more than being a father. "Don't worry, we just have to pick up some stuff for mom and then we'll go back home." Takua nodded and tried to look brave. Solek winked at him as the two of them started getting the groceries. "You're very brave for a four-year-old." He smiled.

"Do… do you think so?" Takua asked.

"Oh yes, when I was four I was too scared to leave my house." Takua smiled and relaxed a little. Solek loved his son with everything he was. He could see little bits of Toph and himself in the little guy. It also helped that children fascinated him. Having never seen one before he came to this world he was amazed at how small and fragile they were. Solek looked up from picking a bag of apples to notice a large number of Dai-Lee in the market. While the Dai-Lee were no longer controlled by Azula Solek still didn't trust them. He began to get nervous as several of them approached him. He quickly sent an ultrasonic signal out that would only be heard by one creature. One of the Dai-Lee walked up and grabbed his shoulder.

"Excuse me sir you and the boy need to come with us."

"And why might that be? Has it become illegal for people to shop in the market place?" Solek asked as he discreetly moved Takua behind him.

"No sir, it has not."

"Then why are you arresting me and my son?"

"Because your kind will no longer be tolerated here." The guard said as he reached for his handcuffs.

"My kind?" Solek asked, slightly insulted. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that anyone connected with the world of Bionicle has been deemed too dangerous for the health of the city and must be incarcerated." With that the Dai-Lee handcuffed Solek. Solek didn't want to start a fight while Takua was nearby so he gritted his teeth and did nothing. As the Dai-Lee finished handcuffing Solek loud yells and screams of surprise began to get closer. One of the Dai-Lee looked up from his task and frowned.

"Now what do you suppose is causing all that racket?" He asked. A second later he found out as Tank smashed though a cabbage cart and roared in his face. Solek easily broke the handcuffs and smiled at the shocked Dai-Lee.

"Boys, meet Tank." Tank growled at them and quickly put his massive tail between the Dai-Lee and Takua. "He's possibly more protective about my son than I am. And I really wouldn't want to get him angry." The Dai-Lee slowly backed up. Solek turned to Tank and sent out a clear ultrasonic message, take Takua home. Tank quickly scooped the boy on his back with his tail and turned around. With a bound he had cleared the wreck of the cabbage cart and the sobbing cabbage vender. Solek turned to follow them when a Dai-Lee grabbed his arm.

"Sir, do not make us use force." He calmly said. Solek turned around, his robotic eye was glowing.

"I don't think that you need to be worried about YOU using force!" He said as he let loose with a weak sonic blast. The Dai-Lee fell to the ground holding their heads as Solek ran off after Tank. The Dai-Lee would live; they were just going to have a horrible headache for a few hours. Solek didn't know what had set them off; he hadn't destroyed anything since going Kal about twelve years ago. Sure they had to remodel the noble's district after that but that was a long time ago. Still, it was clear that Ba Sin Se was becoming too dangerous for his family, and that meant that it was time to leave.

…

A dark figure with a cape ran from shadow to shadow. Ever since escaping from prison and enacting his long waited for revenge he had been on the run. There was a Toa after him, a Toa that he did not want to catch him. He had heard stories about Lesovikk. The stories said that he had broken the Toa code; they had also said the Lesovikk was more insane than himself. He did not believe this, but then what did he know. After all, he was insane. The figure stopped, he thought he heard something. Suddenly the crate he was hiding behind was blown aside by a gust of wind. The figure looked up as Toa Lesovikk pointed his sword at him.

"By the authority placed in me by the Order of Mata Nui you are under arrest." The Toa stated calmly.

"What? Can't a guy escape from jail and kill his lifelong enemies anymore? Plus…" he added "You guys owe me, do you know how many times I pulled your lava eels out of the fire?" Lesovikk ignored him and lunged for the figure. "Hey! Watch it! After all, I'm practically a Toa."

"Do not demean that title scum!" Lesovikk yelled as he grabbed the figure's cape. Unfortunately for Lesovikk the crafty being still had one trick up his sleeve, or fused to his head, as the case might be. Without a second thought the insane Bionicle opened a portal to who knows where and jumped through it. Lesovikk held on tight while mentally cursing the day he had heard the name of the insane Skakdi. All the way through the portal he cursed the name of Vezon. If Vezon could have heard him he would have been delighted but sound doesn't travel well in interdimensional portals. As it was he was laughing insanely as his form slowly began to change. Vezon, Toa of Anarchy, was back in action. And the world would never be the same.

Me: Yeah… I really just did that.

Vezon: I knew it! I knew you couldn't resist me forever!

Me: Get over yourself Vezon, I put you in the story for comic relief.

Vezon: Yeah, but I'm in the story.

Me: You're also the youngest Bionicle character… I wonder what I can do with that?

Vezon: Wait… I don't like that smile… it looks too much like my smile… what are you going to do to me?

Me: You'll find out. (evil snicker)
