Here is another short little oneshot I worked on, somehow, while playing Skyrim and being in an Xbox Live party with my friends. I did the best I could on it, the best you can while multitasking, so if any mistakes are caught, please point them out and I will fix them as soon as possible. Just a warning: I don't think I'm all that great with fight scenes, so let me know how I did! This was great practice, either way. I hope you all enjoy!


Blasts of fire and streams of flames grazed the ground and flew through the air on the training grounds of Air Temple Island. The young man and woman causing the fires to erupt had made sure to steer clear of the airbending training gates as they sparred; Korra had filled Mako in on her failed attempt to pass through said gates as part of her training, only to burn them down in a fit of rage when she had given up. If that were to occur again by the hands of either benders, Tenzin's monk upbringing would be torn to shreds. "That's a two-thousand year old historical relic," Korra had informed Mako when he had asked what was so special about it, mimicking Tenzin's tone, "If one of us were to as much as put a scratch on that thing, I'm pretty sure he would have some sort of tough punishment set out for us." Mako had arched a brow, wondering how someone as calm as Tenzin could carry out such a thing, but, in a sense, he could see it.

Korra threw a punch of fire straight for Mako, which he easily dodged, retaliating with his own punch of fire aimed for Korra's torso. Making an X with her arms, the flames brushed past her, extinguishing through the air. With a smile of satisfaction, she sprinted toward the pro-bending captain and jumped through the air, giving two spin kicks both with blasts of fire. Mako easily bended the fire that was barreling toward him, and, bringing his arms back, he forcibly thrust them out in front if himself, creating a large fire blast headed straight for the Avatar. With a swift throw of her arms out to the sides, the fire blast parted and faded away, leaving only small traces of fire on the pavement beneath them.

"Come on, City Boy," Korra grinned, waiting for her boyfriend's next attack, "is that all you've got?"

Mako glared at her words and darted toward her; both of his hands now balled into fists. Bringing one arm back for a punch, Mako began charging the intensity of his next attack. Korra smirked at his actions and stomped her heel into the ground. Within seconds, Mako was propelled upward by a large rock that had formed beneath him. He fell to the ground a few feet away from where he had been launched with a thud.

"Korra! I thought we agreed this would be a fire-only match!" He let out a groan, rubbing a spot on the back of his head. He winced in pain as his hands ran over a small lump that began to form.

"You know for a fact that rules and I don't mesh well," Korra grinned at him from where she was standing, "Get up and let's finish this!" Without warning, she kicked at the ground in an arc like motion, creating a fire arc hurling for Mako. The attack forced him onto his feet - barely missing the fire - and into a defensive stance. He sent out various punches and kicks of fire toward the young Avatar, to which she easily extinguished or dodged as she ran toward him. Expecting her to do another close range attack on him, he gritted his teeth, putting his arms up in the same X formation she had displayed earlier, only to be left surprised when she pounced him, knocking him back on the ground once more. His head sure was taking quite a beating, today.

"Looks like I win," she grinned.

He glared up at her, despite the fact that his arms were now wrapping around her waist. "No. You cheated, meaning, technically, I'm the winner by default."

"That's how you want to win? By default?" she laughed and he threw his head back onto the pavement with an unamused expression. "And, like I said, you know rules and I don't mesh very well together. You just don't want to face the fact that you were taken down by a girl," Korra took his face in her hands, lifting his head up just enough to press her lips to his, "Again."

"Don't remind me," Mako scowled just before going in for another kiss.


As always, any errors that I may have missed can be pointed out to me in either a review or a PM, and I will get to fixing them ASAP. I am working on another longer oneshot, so hopefully I will have that finished soon so I can have it up for you all. In the meantime, I hope you all were satisfied with this. If not, well, that's alright, too. I am now slowly running out of ideas, by the way, so I urge you all to give me some ideas! I, of course, will credit the idea to you when the oneshot is posted, if I pick yours. I appreciate all of your reviews, and being put on your story alerts (yes, I'm talking to you, lurkers!), and I hope everyone enjoyed.
