The visions started with Aang reading some sort of scroll with a worried look on his face. Korra could actually feel the anxiety coming off her predecessor in waves. He looked as though he were ready to reread it a second time when a voice caught his attention. "What is it Aang?"
Aang turned and Korra could see the speaker was none other than her water bending master Katara in her younger years. Even in middle age, she is beautiful and looks only slightly different from her childhood self. Her eyes shine with the courage, strength, and compassion that had been forged through years of adventuring and struggle. It is these same qualities that make Korra proud to call Katara both her master and friend.
"It's the Dark Elements" Aang tells his wife gravely "they're still at large in the New Republic territories and the Council thinks they'll attack Republic City if not put down immediately. They've asked me to step in and I may have to leave tonight." "You mean we'll have to leave tonight" Katara corrected her husband. "Sweetie, be reasonable" the Avatar protested "from what I've heard, the Dark Elements are not ordinary benders and it may be tough even for me to stop them. I don't want you getting hurt and even the two of us might not be enough."
Katara placed her hands on her hips. "First, you know I won't let you do this alone and second, it won't be just us two. I think it's time for a little 'Team Avatar' reunion." Aang gave a defeated sigh and said "fine, lead the way 'Sifu Katara.' ""Thank you 'pupil Aang.' "
Sensing Korra was growing weary, Aang stopped the visions for now. The female Avatar looked at her predecessor expectantly. "Well, what happened? Who are the Dark Elements?"
"The Dark Elements were a crime syndicate composed entirely of Benders" Aang explained "they were also bending supremests who terrorized the non-benders of New Republic. Any bender who was against them was either killed or blackmailed into joining." "So they were 'anti-Equalists' or something?" Aang nodded.
Korra wasn't convinced. "They couldn't be so bad though. I mean, you guys were the original Team Avatar for Yue's sake! You beat the Fire Nation and stopped a war that had lasted a century! What could some gang do?"
"You'll see soon enough" Aang said with a small frown on his features. Korra took note of Aang's tone and suddenly felt she would regret her words. Aang pressed his hand to her forehead and gave a nod for his successor to brace herself. Korra did so and her vision once again went white.
Author's note: Short I know but Chapter Three will be an improvement, I promise. Also, I'm considering showing what Lin and co were up to in this AU. I'll warn you now that if I do, Mako/Makorra fans won't like it. Should I do so or focus on Korra and assume everything went as it did in the real episode? PM your choice and remember to R/R.
