The Lost Avatar
Chapter 2
A.N. Here is chapter two, and hopefully it will cover episode 2 and up to Bolin's capture by Amon and his rescue.
"Euaarrrrrggggahhhh" Kai yawned as he woke up in his room on Air Temple Island. He got dressed and headed downstairs, only to be trampled by some un-seen force. "Did anyone see the Komodo-Rhino stampede that hit me?" he asked as he got up "Never mind" he said as he saw Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo. After that little incident he sat down at the table and began eating whilst reading a book about the exploits of Avatar Aang. Just as he got to the part about Kyoshi Island he heard Korra and Tenzin arguing about a watching a sport called "Pro Bending". "Tenzin, you should let Korra go." "And who are you to tell me how to teach my student" "I trained under the Airbending masters. Air is the element of freedom and the Old masters recognized this and allowed students to do indulge in whatever hobbies they enjoyed when not training because it allowed them to get in touch with their "inner self"." Tenzin got an exasperated look and retorted with: "And how, exactly did you train under them when they never lived in your lifetime?" "Because I was the Avatar 8,000 years ago, until a lightning bender stopped my heart for a full minute, forcing the Avatar spirit to move on. I eventually got myself frozen in ice in the South Pole, to be freed by Korra" Kai said with a smirk. "Excuse me; I'm going to go practice my bending.
Kai went off to an empty cove with a good-sized rocky beach and began practicing his bending. He started with Waterbending and made three tendrils that he began to weave and braid into intricate patterns. After doing that some he moved onto attacks and ice formation, whipping tendrils and freezing pillars. Once he had done that for a while he began practicing Earthbending, throwing rocks around, making pillars, making craters just by stomping, and all the destructive stuff. Once the cove looked like a war zone he put it back in order and focused on one of his favorite ways to relax: Sandbending sand castles while using only seismic sense to watch his progress. Once he had a veritable sand city built up he practiced his Airbending, slowly eroding the structures, grain by grain, until they were all gone. After that he actually noticed that it was nearing… Sunset? Had he really been practicing that long? Well no matter, he put the cove back in order and heard clapping. He looked up and saw Pema, Korra, Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and some of the Air Acolytes providing applause. They went in and ate after the clapping had died down, the kids and Korra bugging Kai to teach them what he knew all the way, until Tenzin ordered them to stop, at least. After dinner Kai went out and groomed Dane, smiling at the idea of his new home and family. At some point Kai fell asleep bent over Dane's back, smiling and dreaming of home.

The next Day Kai was snooping around the Pro Bending arena with Korra when they were caught. They were about to boot when "They're with me." After that the man walked off, grumbling. Kai turned and saw the man that had tripped him. "Hey, I remember you; you tripped Dane and got me caught! Your name's Bolin, right? My name's Kai" "Nice to put a name to the face. But, anyways, I'm a Pro Bender here. Do you want to go out for lunch tomorrow? I've got a match in a bit, you can watch" "Sure, how about at noon, tomorrow? I'd love to watch your match, as well" Kai said, he could sense that Bolin's heart rate and breathing had increased, signifying that he was nervous. After that they got a chilly reception from Bolin's brother, Mako. While Kai and Korra watched the match Kai was analyzing the strategy and realized that the waterbender, Hasook was the one that was dragging the team down. His heart wasn't in it, he wasn't taking the initiative, only playing defense. After the match ended Bolin and Mako (mostly Bolin) decided to help then with their bending. After some time Kai made up his mind to show Bolin and Korra that. "Hey! You guys, I have something to show you, it is actually really cool." "Oooooh! What is it?" Korra and Bolin chorused. "Just watch" Kai said. He bent a disk up and towards his hand. He put his hands 10 inches apart, spread as if he were holding a ball, the disk hovering in between. It started spinning and as it did it deformed, flattening and forming a four point star with clockwise curved points, glowing a dull red. "LAVABENDING, THAT IS SO COOL" Bolin said. After that Korra and Kai stayed and hung out a bit more, then went home, Kai fangirling about a date with Bolin, unaware that Bolin was doing the same to Mako at the same time.
The Next Day
Kai was waiting for Bolin, his shirt done up, instead of hanging at his waist like usual, and a picnic basket in his hand. When he saw Bolin, he ran over and explained that he had made a variety of sandwiches for them to eat, and they go to the park, where they sit and talk and laugh for hours, until Bolin noticed that they were holding hands and tried to pull away. "We don't have to stop, if you don't want to, that is" Kai says, scooting slightly closer to Bolin. "Okay, confession time. I just wanted an excuse to meet you when I tripped your wolf; I didn't even realize that you were being chased," he says getting closer to Kai. "I'm glad things worked out the way they did, though" Kai says going in for the kiss. They embrace and when they release, Bolin sees the time and exclaims: "Oh, shit, I'm gonna miss the match!" "Don't worry, I'll call Dane and we'll ride him back to the arena" Kai replies. As they ride Kai yells back "Hey you are my boyfriend now, right?" Bolin replies with "Yep and you're mine!
They get to the arena just in the nick of time and Kai gets a seat and sees Bolin, Mako, and Korra come out on to the floor and thinks that this won't end well. After the match Kai goes to congratulate Bolin, his New Boyfriend on a match well done and Mako pulls him to the side and tells him that if he breaks Bolin's heart he'll regret it. After that he shares a kiss with Bolin in front of a huge crowd and goes home.
All in all, a good day

Kai was at the pro bending arena gym, with Mako, Korra, and Bolin practicing his bending. He had gotten on to the team as a back-up, in case Bolin or Korra couldn't participate for some reason. Currently, though, they were brain-storming ways to earn money- 30,000 yuans to be precise. "I could have Pabu do tricks!" Bolin suggests, but the idea is quickly shot down. After some time Kai had an idea. "I could use Lavabending to make sculptures that we could sell to galleries and pawn shops!" Kai exclaims. "You know… that just might work! Korra you work together with Kai to cool the sculptures while Bolin and I find other ways to make money, just in case" Mako says.
Later
"How many do we have, Korra?" Kai asks. They have quite the production line going, Kai forms the statues, Korra cools them and moves them over to a group of Air Acolytes to be boxed based on subject. "12 dragons, 11 wolves, 9 badger-moles, and 9 Aangs, 41 in all" Korra replies. Just then Mako walks up, looking distraught "hey, have you guys seen Bolin, he wasn't at home." "No, I thought he was with you, he walked off after walking along the docks with me," Kai replies, beginning to become worried the trio get Naga and Dane and race to the Train Station to look for Bolin, and find out that Bolin was seen with a member of a gang that was preparing for a turf war.
They arrive at the Headquarters to find it empty. "I'll go in first," Kai says, drawing his sword. When they reach the other end of the warehouse they're attacked by a group of men with gloves that can temporarily stun a person. "Those were Equalists," Mako says, "They want Benders to lose their bending, too." After that they decided to spilt up, Kai staying at Bolin and Mako's place, in case Bolin showed up, while Korra and Mako waited to catch an Equalist rally.
The Next Day
"Are you sure that these things will work," Kai asks whilst incognito, so as to sneak into an Equalist rally. "They probably will, since neither of our faces are in the papers," Mako replies. As it turns out they do work and Mako and Kai witness a man have his bending taken away, and the worst part is, that Bolin is up next! The rest of the night is a haze, but Kai does remember Firebending, something he shouldn't be able to do, not after the fire in Ba Sing Sei's lower ring.
A.N. AAAND… That's a wrap! Sorry if the part for episode 3 is a bit low-quality, I just never really watched that episode all of the way through, I'm probably going to re-watch the series to refresh my memory.
