Wow... sorry for making you all wait so long for this chapter, and I won't even waste your time with my excuses. My apologies, I do hope you'll forgive me.

And now I finally present to you, PART II


Korra POV

"This is brilliant Asami! Thank you!" I spun in front of the mirror, viewing my hunting outfit.

"No problem! Just promise not to shoot me." I grinned. She was getting to know me pretty quick.

"Did you grab the guns I brought?"

"Yes, they're laying on my bed. Can I ask what the black tanks are attached to them? I'm not familiar with this model." Asami questioned, gesturing to her green-blanketed bed.

"Those are what makes the guns more powerful. Since it takes bending to make them work, that chamber helps boost that energy to make them fly faster and hit harder." Her eyes grew wide, but then a smirk plastered on her face.

"So what happened last time you and Mako went paint-balling? He seemed pretty... jumpy when we left." I chuckled at the memory.

"Korra... where did you go?" What could only be described as a Cheshire grin etched its way onto my face. He was in perfect position. As I sent a flurry of paint balls towards him, he yelped and kicked up a wall of flames. Frowning, I jumped down from my perch in the tall evergreen.

"Hey, no bending! That's cheating!" I crossed my arms, and shifted all my weight to my right foot. My gun dangled from it holster attached to my hip.

"You disappearing from sight it cheating! I bet you used your earth bending to get up there in the first place." I guiltily looked behind me, the rock still jutting out of the spot I had used to launch myself into the tree.

"That was before the game started."

"So you were in the tree before the whistle blew?"

"Well, no..." Mako raised his eyebrow and smirked.

"Well at least-"

"WHAT THE HELL DID I SAY BEFORE YOU CAME OUT HERE? NO CLIMBING THE TREES!" An angry, short man, with a mustache in need of a good trim, came out of the ammo loading station.

"Well, yeah you said that, but I figured since I wasn't doing any damage to the property..." I tilted my head to the side slightly and tried to seem innocent.

"OUT! NEVER COME BACK HERE EVER AGAIN! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!"

Asami was clutching her stomach she was laughing so hard.

"So, if that guy told you never to come back, where are we going?"

"Air temple island. As long as I clean up everything when we're done, Tenzin shouldn't mind." Asami grinned and grabbed her gun of the bed. She tilted her chin up and smirked.

"Let's get this thing started!" I was starting to like her more and more.

~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Oh Bolin... Where did you scamper off to? I just wanna play..." Asami trailed off in a loud voice for anyone close enough to hear.

We were perched up in the thick branches of a tree overhanging the spinning panels. Mako had called the trees off limits, but he had only pointed to the ones overhanging the house. I was lounging on the branch above Asami, one leg dangling off the side, and my gun holstered. Spotting a leechy nut above me, I went to grab for it when a red paint ball struck right next to my outstretched hand. I let out a small surprised noise, and lost my balance in the process. Quickly grabbing a passing branch, I hauled myself onto it and pulled my gun out. Spotting Bolin's leg sticking out from behind a panel on the spinning artifact, I quickly shot him. A bright blue paint spot blossomed on his pant leg, followed but a rather loud curse.

"Nice shot Korra!" Asami smiled, while giving me a hand to haul myself back up to her branch.

Once I was situated, I began my visual sweep to try and spot Mako or Bolin. Bolin could still be heard whining about his leg, but he was nowhere in sight. Puzzled I turned to Asami.

"I think he made a small cave and hid in it." She whispered, pointing to a spot about forty yards from the spinning panels.

Silently agreeing to recon, we slipped down the tree and made our way to the maybe-cave. I smiled slightly looking around me, appreciating the scenery, but something wasn't right. Usually the sound of flying lemurs were common, but all was silent. Usually I was shooting water at them to shut them up.

"Hey Asami, something's not-"

"Damn it!" Asami frowned at the red paint on her shirt. With Asami and Bolin out of this round, it was down to Mako and me. After a shooing gesture from Asami, I took off for the panels. I heard footsteps close behind me, so I didn't stop until I was in the center.

"Korra... You know you can't hide in there forever..." I could see Mako from my hiding spot. He was clad in all black, like us, and he had a rather powerful looking gun in his hands. I swirled around the panel to keep out of his view. I was about to move to another panel when something told me to not stand against them. About a millisecond after I stepped away, the panels started moving. Ikki and Jinora's laughter could be heard clearly through the rushing of the wind. Then followed by a loud thump.

"Mako? Are you okay?" He looked up at me with a confused expression on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but you cheated again! No bending remember?"

"But I didn't do it! Ikki and Jinora did it!" Mako rolled his eyes and then smiled.

"So that means the game is still on?"

"Yeah... Why? Wait!" A couple of well aimed paint balls hit me. All red.

"Now we're even." I was getting ready to soak Mako with a water ball, when a flurry of dark green and neon green paint balls hit us. I spun around to meet Asami and Bolin, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

"Okay guys, we need to move onto round two before it gets dark. Bolin, you-"

"KORRA!" I flinched and turned around. Tenzin was standing a couple of feet away from us, his face progressively growing redder.

"Uh oh..."


And there ya go. That'll have to do until tomorrow! Oh and if you didn't catch on, their paint balls matched their bending (Korra, blue; Mako, red; Asami, neon green; Bolin, dark green)
