Hey! Please review! :)
Danny's POV
We were training in the gym. It was really early and I don't think I really had woken up just yet.
"What's the big idea with making me train this early in the morning? The morning is evil." Korra said, throwing the training ball at Bolin.
"You can say that again. I mean ripping my from my nice and comfy bed thats a crime against humanity." I said as Bolin threw the ball to me.
"We're the rookies, so we get the worst time slot in the gym." Bolin said.
"And you guys are the rookiest of us all. We gotta get you two up to speed if we wanna survive in the tournament. Deal with it." Mako said and I threw the ball to him.
"You know I could convince some of the other teams to give us a slot after the sun comes up" I said, my eyes flashing.
"No. We are not going to allow you to beat up the other players, it will get us kicked out" Mako said.
"I wasn't saying that! I mean overshadowing." I winked "But hey, if you like not getting sleep thats fine by me" I said catching the ball as Mako threw it to me.
"There are my little hard-working street urchins. It's an honor to meet you both, Avatar and Phantom ." A man said, entering the gym.
"And you are...?" Korra said.
"Butakha. I run this whole pro-bending shebang. Here's your winnings from the last match." Butakha said and gave Mako a stack of cash.
Mako went to put it away before he stopped him. "Ah ah ah, not so fast. First, you owe me for the Avatar and Phantom's new gear, gym and equipment rentals from last month, rent on your apartment, and a personal loan for groceries." Butakha said, taking more and more money till it was all gone.
Mako stars angrily at Bolin "What? I'm a growing boy!" Bolin said.
"Oh, and one more small item of business: The Fire Ferrets need to ante up thirty thousand yuans for the championship pot." Butakha said.
"Thirty thousand yuans?!" Bolin said.
"Sorry, kids. You got 'til the end of the week to come up with the dough, or else, you're out of the tournament." Butakha said and he left.
"You wouldn't happen to have a secret Avatar bank account overflowing with gold, would you?" Bolin asked.
"I got nothing. I've never really needed money. I've always had people taking care of me." Korra said.
"And don't look at me. I have some cash in my wallet, but its no good here" I said.
"Then I wouldn't say you have nothing." Mako said, picking up his bag.
"Sorry, I didn't mean —" Korra started to say.
" No, it's all right. It's just ever since we lost our parents, we've been on our own." Bolin said.
"So, anyway, how are we gonna come up with the money?" Mako said.
"Maybe Danny could make a little withdrawal from the Bank?" Korra said wining at me.
"No, I am not stealing from the Bank... again" I said.
"Wait what?" Korra said.
I sighed "Ok, once there was this dude. He was human but he could control ghosts with his staff. He got control of me and a couple other ghosts and made us steal and stuff. But luckily I was able to shake his control off since I'm half human." I said.
"Wow, so whats the plan?" Korra said.
"Oh, oh, I got it!" Bolin said,he then picked up Pabu "I got it! I've been training Pabu to do circus tricks. Now people would pay good money to see that!"
"Come on, Bolin. We need serious ideas." Mako said.
"I was serious." Bolin said, downcast.
"Don't worry about it. I'll figure something out. I always do." Mako said and he left the gym.
*LATER THAT DAY
Korra was practicing with the gates again. She was moving through them with ease now.
"Good. Light on your feet!" Jinora said. Tenzin was busy and Jinora and Ikki offered to provide the wind for the exercise.
Korra made it out of the gates unscathed, but she was breathing heavy.
I then saw Mako walking toward us. Ikki and Jinora saw too.
"Ooh, he's cute. Korra, is that the handsome firebender boy that drives you crazy?" Jinora said. I laughed, almost chocking on my water.
I see Korra turn around and she sees Mako approaching.
"Does he drive you crazy in a bad way, or does he drive you crazy like you like him?" Ikki said.
Korra was flipping from looking at Mako then the girls. Korra then earthbended the girls, catapulting them into the air and the controlled the air around them to ensure a safe landing.
"Ahem. Oh. Hey, Mako." Korra said.
"You guys seen Bolin?" Mako asked.
"Nice to see you, too." I said "We haven't seen him since practice. Think something's wrong?"
"I don't know. Bolin has a knack for getting into stupid situations. See you guys later." Mako said, turning to walk away.
Korra looks at me and I nod.
"Wait. We could, uh... help you look for him." Korra said calling after Mako.
"Nah. I got it." Mako said.
"Hey, cool guy, let us help you." I said.
"We can take Naga." Korra said happily.
"Who's Naga?" Mako asked.
"My best friend. And a great tracker." Korra said.
"What am I chopped liver?" I said and Korra laughed.
We walked down to the stables were Naga was staying.
"Your best friend is a... polar bear dog. Somehow, that makes perfect sense." Mako said, seeing Naga.
"I'll take that as a compliment, city boy." Korra said and she saddled Naga up. We then walked down to the water and I created a ice raft. Then me and Korra bent us to the shore. We got off and Korra and Mako got on Naga.
"Aren't you getting on?" Mako said.
"I got my own form of transportation" I said and transformed "Well, lets go!"
"Where do you wanna start?" Korra said.
"Lets head to Fire Nation square" Mako said and we were off. I followed them in the air and we were in a square in less than 15 minutes. Korra and Mako got off and I transformed. I started at a staute,and saw it was Zuko's. I smiled.
"Well, this is his usual hangout." Mako said and he walked over to some kids playing "You guys seen my brother around here today?"
"Perhaps. My memory's a little... "foggy". Maybe you can help "clear it up"." a kid said.
"You're good, Skoochy. Humph, a real pro." Mako said and gave the Skoochy a yuan.
"Yeah, I seen him." Skoochy said.
"When?" Mako said.
"About noon" Skoochy said.
"What was he doing?" Mako said.
"H-he was performing some kind of monkey rat circus. And then..." Skoochy said and held out his hand, Mako gave him another bill.
"And then what? Why did he leave?" Mako asked.
"Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash. Bo took off with him in his hot rod. The Triple Threats? The Red Monsoons? The Agni Kais? All the triads are muscling up for something real big. Now that's all you're getting outta me!" Skoochy said and ran off.
Me and Korra walk up beside Mako.
"What's he talking about?" I said.
"Sounds like there's a turf war brewing. And Bolin's about to get caught right in the middle of it." Mako said.
Korra and Mako then got on Naga and I transformed. I followed.
"So where're we headed?" I said.
"The Triple Threat Triad's headquarters. Hopefully Bolin's there and nothing's gone down yet." Mako said, and Naga turned down a street.
"The Triple Threat Triad? We beat up some of those yahoos when we got into town. Why would Bolin get tangled up wit —" Korra said but was cut off when a fire ferret ran in front of Naga.
Naga chases after the ferret, and Korra tries reining her in. The ferret turns down a street and up a lamp post.
"That's Pabu!" Mako said and got off Naga.
"No, Naga! Pabu's a friend, not a snack." Korra said, pulling on Naga's reins. I floated up to Pabu "Hey little fella"
Pabu jumped into my arms and I floated back down.
"So that adds fire ferrets to the list" I said.
"What are you talking about?" Mako said. I handed Pabu off to him.
"Animals that like me. Some do and some don't. Its cause I'm a halfa" I said shrugging. Mako got back on Naga and we were off again.
"We gotta hurry" Mako said.
We then reached the headquaters "Something's not right. There're usually thugs posted out front. We better be cautious." Mako said as we walk up to the door. Mako then peers through the window and signals us to come foreward.
Korra casually strolls toward the door, forsaking any sneaking up. She then craks her knuckles and kicks down the double doors We enter the empty room, looking around. The building is strangely empty and the furniture is broken.
"Bolin? You in here?" Mako said.
A truck's engine roars outside and we promptly run out the back. As we crash through the door, a truck and five motorcycles drive off. I could see the back of the truck, its doors still open. I saw Bolin tied down and gagged, sitting inside the truck. A masked individual then closes the doors. We then run after the strangers.
"Bolin!" Mako yells.
As we run after the vehicles, two masked figures on motorcycles pull out smoke grenades and toss them at us. The grenades explode with a bright flash and produce thick, heavy, green smoke, effectively halting our pursuit for some seconds. The masked figures take notice of the grenades effects and drive of with screeching tires. We were coughing heavily amidst the smoke, covering our mouths.
"Naga come!" Korra yells and whistles.
Korra starts running in the direction the motorcyclists took off in, Naga racing across the camera after her. Mako starts to run after them as well. i fly after them and we emerge from the smoke-filled alley. We see the truck and it drives off into the distance, the motorcyclists in tow. Korra and Mako, were sending a fire blast at the masked motorcyclists, who swerve to avoid it.
Korra brings up her arms, before following the cracks in the earth her earthbending move has produced. A motorcyclist, who avoids the first big crack, before being catapulted into the air by an earth ramp created by Korra. The rider lands safely and continues to follow the rest of the escaping party.
We then enter an open square. Three of the motorcyclists fall back, one swerving to the left and the other two bring thier motor to a spinning halt while throwing a bola at the incoming Naga. Naga's running feet are tied together by the rope. Naga crashes to the ground, sending Korra and Mako flying through the air and onto the ground as well. I fly up and steady them, both landing safely.
I then see the three masked motorcyclists, who elegantly twist in the air to land at opposite sides of us to fight. The female rider wastes no time and runs for Korra, who ignites her right fist and sends a large fire blast at the incoming attacker. She elegantly avoids the blast by jumping over it, twisting several times in the air, and continues her run at Korra.
I turn and see my attacker. I lit up my hands and begin shooting ecto-blasts at the masked rider. He dodges and moves to avoid my attacks.
The female rider aims for Korra's head, but she averts the course with her left hand. She retaliates with a fire blast, which her opponent ducks under. Then she locks arms with Korra. Korra throws another fire punch with her left hand, but the attakers leans back to dodge it, knocking Korra's hand to the side.
Korra uses her sideways moment to spin around in a full moon fire kick, though the masked fighter evades the blast by moving to her left. Korra then aims a high fire kick at the girl's head, who reciprocates that move and curls her leg around Korra's and pulls it down, creating an unguarded opening to Korra's right side. She delivers about four punches to Korra's side and arm and backs away. Korra staggers with a grunt, as her right side has gone numb. She grabs hold of her right arm with her left one, her eye big in wonder about what just happened to her.
I gasp. I knew where I saw those moves "They are chi-blockers, be careful!" I yelled, then facing my oppenent. He was moving, toying with me. I then saw an opportunity and froze his feet to the ground. I then turn to Korra.
Korra's look changes to one of determination. Korra madly charges the masked female with her left hand ablaze. The masked woman avoids the blast, flips over a low-aimed fire arc, and jumps to avoid a fire blast aimed at her feet.
Mako and his opponent were battling for an upper hand. Korra aims two more fire blasts at her attacker, but to no avail as she dodges.
Mako, was grunting in pain as he finds his right arm immobilized. He briefly clutches it, but quickly focuses again on his male attacker, who comes at him again. Mako then aims a wide fire-fueled swing at his opponent, who easily ducks under it, twirls behind Mako's back, and quickly delivers several punches to his unguarded left side.
I fire some ecto-blasts at the attackers, but they can't be hit. Korra then receives the same quick punches to her left side. Broad side shot as Korra's attacker jumps up and kicks the staggering Avatar back with two feet to the chest. As Korra falls backward, the camera switches to a back-shot of Mako who is also being flung backward. He lands roughly on the ground with a heavy thud and a groan; Korra lands right before him with a similar grunt of pain.
I growl and put myself between Korra and the female attacker. I fight throing ecto-blasts and punches. The attacker then chi-bloack my left side. I try and make an ecto-blast but I can't.
Naga, growling at the scene that developed before her, and she starts to tug at her restraints. Me, Mako, and Korra, are backing away from the female masked rider, who is approaching them while twirling her bola around her menacingly. Then the other rider was performing the same action. My dude was still working on how to escape my ice.
As one of the masked figures prepares to throw the bola, his concentration is broken by a loud growl and he looks to his right. Naga jumps up through the air, teeth bare and growling. The polar bear dog drives off the attackers from her owner and friends. Naga growls viciously. Pabu jumps off her back, and runs before her, following Naga's example and squeaking at the attackers.
The riders briefly eye each other before jumping up, hurling more smoke grenades to cover their exit. My dude had finally gotten out of the ice and folowed suit. They all ride out of the smoke on their motorcycles.
Pabu crawls up Mako's leg and onto his shoulder while Korra drapes her arm around Naga's head and allows her pet to help her stay on her feet.
Korra curiously eyes her hands, and raises her arms, punching out in an attempt to bend.
"Ugh, I can't bend. I can't bend!" Korra said, panicking.
"Calm down, it'll wear off. Those guys were chi blockers." I said "I once saw Ty Lee and the Kyoshi warriors us it on some Fire Nation guards, and Azula before that. I guess it effects my powers along with bending. I can't shoot ecto-blasts for a while. But I think I can still fly, it will hurt, but I can manage."
"Those guys were Amon's henchmen." Mako said.
"Amon? That anti-bending guy with a mask?" Korra said.
"Yeah, he's the leader of the Equalists." Mako said.
"What do they want with the Triple Threats?" I said.
"Whatever it is, can't be good. Urch, can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!" Mako said.
"Mako, we are going to save your brother. I promise you that." I said putting my hand on his shoulder.
Korra and Mako then get on Naga. We search all night. Soon I am to tired to fly and hop on Naga. I transform to conserve energy. Everyone is tired, even Naga.
"We've been out all night. No sign of him." I said.
"We've gotta keep looking. But where?" Mako said.
Soon Korra looks like she has an idea "I think I may have something!"
With a determined look on her face, she pulls Naga's reins and they start moving again.
We get to the park we visited the first day and pull up at a fountain, and Naga as she bends over to drink. Pabu climbs on top of Naga's head and takes a drink, too. We take a seat by the fountain.
"The first day we got into town, we ran into an Equalist protester over there." Korra said.
"And you think they'll know where Bolin is?" Mako said.
"It's our only lead right now." I said.
We then move to under a tree and all sit with Naga at our backs.
"So, why is Bolin running around with the Triple Threat Triad, anyway?"I said.
"Well, we... we used to do some work for them back in the day." Mako said.
"What? Wha- Are you some kind of criminal?" Korra said.
"No! You don't know what you're talking about. I just ran numbers for them and stuff. We were orphans out on the street; I did what I had to do to survive and protect my little brother." Mako said.
"I get it, my cousin has been on the street. I know its tough" I said.
"Our cousin? Why didn't you take her in?" Mako said.
"Well, first off, I offered. She doesn't like being tied down and wanted to see the world. She was able to take care of herself...until she became unstable." I said.
"Like she went crazy?" Korra said.
"No! She.. well she was my clone. Like a copy of me" I said.
"But, I though you said she was a girl?" Korra said.
"And how is that even possible?" Mako said.
"Well, my world is much more advanced. You're making some progress but your world isn't quiet there. In my world we can copy someone's DNA. Thats the building block of life. Its inside you and is like your own personal blueprint. My 'uncle' Vlad, who isn't really my uncle just a crazy fruitloop friend of my parents. He is also a halfa, but much more powerful. He is obsessed with my mom and wants me for a son." I said.
"Wow, that is crazy" Korra said.
"Ya, so he failed to get me willingly. And decided to just make another me. He tried and failed on multiple occasions. But it resulted in Dani. Dani with an 'i' Her full name is Danielle and she is also a halfa." I said "Something went wrong which resulted in her being a girl.. and only 12."
"Ohh ok" Korra said.
"Why was she on the streets?" Mako asked.
"She found out Vlad didn't want her. He just used her to try and capture me to finish his perfect clone. Lets just say she didn't take it well. We destroyed much of Vlad's lab together and she went her own way. She wanted to see the world and experience life." I said "But she became unstable. Like all the other clones she started to um melt"
"What!" Korra and Mako said.
"Ya, it was bad. When I found out I tried to save her by using one of my parents' inventions. It strengthened the bonds that held her together and she was healed. She then left again." I said.
"Wow" Korra said.
"So ya, I know its hard on the streets. I'm sorry. Can I ask what happened to your parents?" I said.
"They were mugged, by a firebender. He cut them down right in front of me. I was eight." Mako said.
I gasped and so did Korra "Mako.." she said.
"So why didn't you become Batman?" I said.
"What?" Mako and Korra said.
"Sorry, sorry. Bad timing. Its a thing from my world." I said.
"Bolin's the only family I have left. If anything happened to him..." Mako said.
I put my hand on his shoulder. "I won't let that happen" I said. "Believe it or not I can relate to this too. I once thought my entire family.. my friends... were gone." I said.
"What! Why?" Korra said.
"Its.. a long story." I said.
"We got time" Korra said. I sighed.
"It was my ultimate enemy. Myself" I said.
"What?!" Korra and Mako said.
"Well, it was me.. but an evil me.. from the future. It was the timeline where I did loose my friends and family. He was so grief stricken he asked Vlad to rip out his ghost-half, and Vlad did. Once out my ghost half ripped Vlad's out and merge with it. He then.. took care of the human me" I said.
Korra put her hand up to her mouth "He?"
"Yes. And then Evil Dan was formed. Clockwork, Master of all time and my guardian, but not at the time took action. i was accidentally sent to the furtre ans saw what I had become. Dan then trapped me there and went back to ensure his.. creation. I was able to get back and stop him. I was so depleted of energy though I couldn't save them." I said.
"Danny.." Korra said.
"Hey! It all turned out to be ok! Clockwork saved them and I promised myself to NEVER become him" I said.
"Wow, you've had a rougher life than me and Bolin" Mako said.
"Its ok, I mean when your parents threaten to 'rip you apart molecule by molecule' everyday, you get used to it" I said shrugging "Ya, my parents hated Phantom, but when I came out with my secret they accepted me"
*THE NEXT DAY*
We had fallen asleep. I was beside Mako, and he was beside Korra. I woke up to the sun shinin on my face and turned to see Mako and Korra leaning on each other. I yawned and heard "Equality now! Equality now! We want equality now!"
Mako and Korra slowly woke up. they notice that they are close against each other. As the reality of that fact sinks in, both their eyes shoot open in horror. Korra lets out a horrified gasp and they scramble away from each other out of embarrassment.
"I-I... er... eheh, humn, hmmehem." Korra stutters.
"Nonbenders of Republic City..." the protester yells.
"That's the guy" I said and we all got up and walked up to him.
"Amon calls you to action! Take back your city! It's time for the..." the protester said through a megaphone, he then saw us and gasped.
"It's you again! You cannot silence me, Avatar!" he yells.
I swat the megaphone out of his hand.
"Shut your yapper and listen up. My friend got kidnapped by some chi blockers. Where'd they take him?" Korra said.
" I have no idea what you're talking about." he said.
"Oh, I think you do" Korra said menacingly.
Korra lifts her leg in the air and slams it down with a half-moon kick. The earth underneath the table rises, catapulting it in the air and throwing the protester off. Leaflets with a picture of Amon are thrown off and rain down upon the area. The protester and his friend are still lying on the ground. The protester starts to pick up the leaflets, a dismayed look on his face. Mako grabbed one of the papers out of the air and examining it.
""Witness the Revelation tonight, nine o' clock". What's this "Revelation"?" Mako said.
"Nothing that concerns the likes of you all!" the protester said.
"You better believe it concerns us. Spill it." Korra yells, picking him up by the collar.
"Korra! You are just proving this guys point. Put him down." I said. Korra sighed and put the man down.
"Now will you tell us?" I said.
"No one knows what the Revelation is! And I have no idea what happened to your friend. But if he's a bender, then my bet is he's getting what's coming to him." the protester said.
"Where's it happening?" Mako said.
Right then a policeman sees us, he recognises us from fishing in the lake.
"Hey! You! Stop!" he yells blowing his whistle.
"Lets scram" I said and we run, while Mako and I grab a bunch of leaflets.
Korra gets on Naga and me and Mako follow suit.
We run and stop at a bench underneath the bridge. Korra was holding one of the leaflets, while we are all looking at several others spread out over the floor.
"Why didn't the Equalists put a location on these?" Korra complained.
"Probably because they don't want just anyone waltzing in to their big "Revelation", whatever that is. I bet the information is hidden on here somehow." I said, then turning them all over. "Look at the 's four different images."
"So, it's a puzzle?" Korra said.
"Yeah, of a map!" Mako said and placed the four images together. He walks over to the map next to us, four leaflets in hand. He starts to compare them to the city map, moving the image over different areas. He then finds the right location. One of the leaflets has a red spot on its back, indicating the meeting place.
"Bingo. That must be where it's going down." Mako said.
*LATER THAT NIGHT*
We went to the meeting place. We had dressed up in disguises so no one would recgonzie us. We were wearing big coats ad hats. Korra shivers and Mako takes off his red scarf, handing it to her. Korra wraps it around her neck and I stare at them. I smiled and Korra looks at me with a weird look. I shrug my smile off, but I think to myself 'I wonder...'.
Korra grabs Mako's arm.
"What are you doing?" I said.
"We'll attract less attention this way." Korra said.
We walked up to the doorman and he stopped us "This is a private event. No one gets in without an invitation."
"Uh... invitation?" Korra said.
Mako pulled out a leaflet "You mean this?"
The doorman stepped out of the way "The Revelation is upon us, my brothers and sister."
We enter the building and look out over the gathered crowd. The entire crowd, was waiting before an empty, but lit podium at the other side of the large factory.
"I knew a lot of people hated benders, but I've never seen so many in one place. Keep your eyes out for Bolin." Mako said.
We move through the crowd to get a better view.
"Please welcome your hero, your savior... Amon!" an announcer said. Then a hatch opens and Amon emerges from a trapdoor in the stage with a line of Equalists behind him under loud approving cheers of the crowd. A spotlight is turned on, illuminating the Equalist leader. Amon walk up to the microphone, the people still cheering loudly for him.
"My quest for equality began many years ago. When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich, and none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did, [Frontal close-up.] that firebender took my family from me. Then, he took my face." Amon said and the croud gasped.
"I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since. As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City." Amon said. I turn to Korra and she pulls up Mako's scarf.
"And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world. But, she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world, is suffering. It has been the cause of every war in every era." I see Korra gritting her teeth. I put my hand on her shoulder.
"But that is about to change. I know you have been wondering, "What is the Revelation?" You are about to get your answer. Since the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me. They say the Avatar has failed humanity." Amon said. I see Korra with anger in her eyes.
"That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make Equality a reality. The power to take a person's bending away. Permanently." Amon said. The auidence gasps and me and Mako turn to Korra. Her eyes are wide with horror.
"That's impossible. There's no way." Korra said.
"This guy's insane!" Mako whispered.
I turn back to Amon and slowly piece everything together. I gasp, realizing Amon's plan. Even if he is crazy, I don't want to take any chances. I tug on Korra and motion Mako to follow me. We work our way closer to the stage.
"Now, for a demonstration. Please welcome, Lightning Bolt Zolt. Leader of the Triple Threat Triad, and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City. " Amon said
A guard leads Lighting-Bolt Zolt onto the stage, the crowd boos "Ah, boo yourself!"he yells back at the crowd.
Equalist guards lead four more tied up benders onto the stage, forcing them to their knees, Bolin being the last of them.
"There's Bolin." I said. Korra looks ready to pounch into action. I stop her.
"Wait, we can't fight them all. We need to be smart about this." Mako said.
"Then come up with a game plan, "Team Captain"." Korra said.
" Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing nonbenders. But his reign of terror is about to come to an end. Now, in the interest of fairness," Amon said. The main Equalist uncuffs Zolt. "I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending." Amon said.
Zolt takes his bending stance. "You're gonna regret doing that, pal."
Lightning Bolt Zolt immediately directs a fire blast at Amon. Amon nimbly dodges every blast that Zolt throws at him, gradually coming closer. Amon was dodging the rounds of fire blasts. Zolt who surges forward while generating lightning. He fires the bolt at the Equalist leader who ducks underneath it, grabs hold of Zolt's wrist, and twists it around and away from him. The lighting crashes into the stage, before hitting the ceiling as Amon turns his hands further away. Zolt's neck was grabbed by Amon's hand.
There was lightning still shooting out of Zolt's fingers, as Amon moves his hand from Zolt's wrist to his forehead. The crackling lightning changes into a large fire blast, and stops entirely. Amon lets go of Zolt, who collapses weakly onto the ground. Amon takes a few steps back and Zolt attempts to firebend at Amon to no avail; he crashed back to the ground before the feet of the Equalist leader. The crowd gasps.
"Wha... What did you do to me?" Zolt said.
"Your firebending is gone. Forever. The era of bending is over. A new era of Equality has begun!" Amon said and the crowd cheers.
I stare in horror as another captive is released.
"Any ideas yet?" Korra asked Mako.
"I think so, see those machines?" Mako said, we turn to the machines "They're powered by water and steam. If you create some cover, I can grab Bolin without anyone seeing. Then, Danny gets us out of here."
"Works for me. Good luck" Korra said.
"You too" Mako said.
We separate and I go with Korra. Mako works his way closer to the stage as Shady Shin's bending is taken away. Bolin is next.
We turn and see the doorman. "Is there a problem, my brother?" I said. Korra fakes an innocent, weak appearance.
"What are you two doing back here?" he asked.
"Uh... looking for the bathroom?" I said.
The doorman takes out a wrench. I see Korra's eyes, which have switched from a look of faked innocence to a look of focus. The wrench was being twirled around in the doorman's hand, and the man attacks us.
I transform while Korra nimbly ducks under his swing, and evades his next attack, coming up behind him. He turns around and aims an overhead swing at her, but Korra evades it again, making him hit the pipes.
I then tap on the doorman's shoulder and knock him out as he turns to see me. I then blast at the pipes, steam pores into the room.
"Thanks. This should be enough." Korra said.
Me and Korra bend the steam into the main room. We then run out and see the factory being filled with steam. I see Amon moving towards a scared Bolin.
Amon then realises the steam and backs away into it, disappearing. I cursed, we would have to deal with him later. I grab Korra and we fly up to the stage. The crowd is exiting in a mad panic.
The other Equalists are closing in on Bolin, but me and Mako take them out.
"Bolin, you all right?" Mako asked.
"Yes! Mako! Danny! Korra! I love you!" Bolin said. He moved foreward to hug us.
Mako seizes him around his neck and drags him off into the steam. We emerge from the balcony exit and run over to a ladder; I fly down with Korra and the others take the ladder. Bolin being the first. But there was another person emerging from the door and running over to the ladder. The Equalist fighter, the Lieutenant, was twirling his kali sticks and slamming them into the ladder, sending an electricity charge through it. Mako and Bolin scream in shock and pain and fall down, landing with grunts.
I then put myself in front of them, and Korra. The Lieutenant jumps down from the balcony, his kali stick charged. He charges again but I am faster. i grab him and flip him into the wall. He grunts. Mako and Bolin come to and get up.
The Lieutenant charges again. I create an ecto-sheild and he tries to shock us.
"Won't work buddy" I said.
I drop the shield and Mako and Korra attack. He fips over us and electrocutes Bolin and Mako. I turn to him and growl, my eyes glowing.
"You benders need to understand, there's no place in the world for you anymore." he said, charging up for another attack.
Korra then bends the earth to push him against the wall, knocking him out.
"I wouldn't count us out just yet." Korra said and she whistled "Naga!"
Naga barks and immediately comes running from behind a building, jumping down the last of the ramp. Korra walks over to Mako as he struggles to get up and helps him to his feet. I move to help Bolin.
More Equalist fighters storm the area from the balcony. Korra grabs Mako and they run to Naga. I grab Bolin I put him on Naga. Korra and Mako are on Naga.
"GO! NOW!" I yell and they take off.
I turn invisible, but stay. The Lieutenant wakes up "The Avatar. That's her!"
I was ready to move against them but Amon appears and stops them "Let her go. She's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power."
I turn visible "She will take you down. And if you try and hurt her I will end you" I said, my eyes glowing like crazy.
"Phantom!" the Lieutenant yelled.
I fly up an after Korra. We then drop Mako and Bolin off and we get back to Air Temple Island, once we are there I transform. I see Tenzin, who looks relieved to see us.
"Thank goodness. ] I was just about to send out a search party. Are you two all right?" Tenzin asked, putting his hands on her shoulders. Korra shakes him off and holds her arms.
"Korra? Danny? What happened? Did you find your friend?" Tenzin said, worried.
"Yes, but..." Korra said.
"We were at an Equalist rally. We saw Amon." I said.
"What!?" Tenzin said.
"He can take people's bending away." Korra said.
"For good." I said.
"That's... that's impossible. Only the Avatar has ever possessed that ability." Tenzin said.
"He can. We saw him do it ourselves." I said.
"I believe you both. I don't know how Amon has achieved this power, but this means the revolution is more dangerous than ever. No bender is safe." Tenzin said.
"He said he got it from the spirits. I don't believe him. There was a way he moved... the way he took away the bending. It wasn't like Aang had done it. There is something not right here.. I just haven't pieced it all together." I said.
"We need to warn people" Tenzin said.
"Thats exactly was he wants... but people need to know" I said.
Korra still looks shaken, so I take her to her room.
"Look, I know you think your tough and strong and don't need anyone... but everyone needs some help. Just.. I'm only a door away. Ok?" I said and sighed.
"I kinda wished all I had to do was watch your back a bit and help you finish your training.. but I know now this is the threat I was sent here to help you with." I said.
"Thanks Danny. I'm fine" She said.
"Ok, just come over if you need to talk" I said and she nodded.
SO? Please review your thoughts! I love CONSTRUCTIVE criticism but no flames :)
