Chapter 8 Naoto vs Korra
Naoto got angrier and angrier as she also prepared for her fight. "You know what? Forget my father! I just want you dead!" Naoto felt her last earthly tether fade away as she let her rage consume her and she rushed towards Korra. Korra dodged her rush and shot two fire punches at her. Naoto dodged and dashed to Korras back. She shot an air blast behind her but Korra ducked the blast and shot an air punch back at her. Naoto caught the blast and shot it back with more force. Korra stomped the ground which made an earth ramp for her. She ran across and then jumped off the ramp dodging the air punch and she air kicked at Naoto while in midair. Naoto rolled out of the way and sent an air swipe at Korra. Korra jumped out of the way and sent two slabs of earth towards Naoto. Naoto dodged them both but Korra took advantage of her momentum and hit Naoto with an air spin kick knocking her away.
"I'm not done yet Avatar." Muttered Naoto.
"I'm only getting started." Replied Korra. Naoto dashed around at super speeds around Korra and shot several air blasts at her Korra dodged six in a row in six different directions but Naoto hit her in the back with another air blast from the back knocking her down. Korra quickly got back up and Naoto rushed at her again but this time Korra bended an Earth Wall right in front of herself and shot it right at Naoto. Naoto spinned out of the way but it allowed Korra to hit her with a fire kick knocking Naoto to the ground. Naoto recovered and shot two air punches and a spinning air kick at Korra but she dodged all three attacks and smashed the ground to try and bend the earth below her. This caused a mini earthquake to occur knocking Naoto off balance. Korra followed up by bending three rocks at Naoto and all three hit her in the chest, stomach and face respectively. Naoto got back up again and this time she was frustrated. Korra could see the anger just build up in Naotos eyes.
"All right. I was going easy on you. My father has betrayed me. He's betrayed the Red Lotus by helping you. You're not leaving this place alive!" Naoto started levitating without the assistance of her airbending. Korra couldn't believe her eyes. Naoto was flying! Korra shot fire punches and earth pillars at her but Naoto dodged each attack and quickly flew towards Korra hitting her with a huge gust of wind! Korra was knocked a good distance away as she was surprised by Naotos speed.
"Wow. She's fast, very fast. I've got to keep going. I can't let the Cycle end!" Korra thought to herself as she launched three water streams at Naoto to freeze her in place. Naoto dodged the first two and air punched at the third one stopping the stream in its tracks. Naoto rushed at Korra and tried to hit her with a shoulder tackle abut Korra dodged out of the way, formed fire jet streams below her feet and followed Naoto into the sky. Naoto shot three air swipes at Korra but Korra dodged all three and tackled Naoto using her jet propulsion! Naoto tried to get out of Korras grasp but Korra was just too strong. Her muscle mass was too much for Naoto to handle as she was sent crashing down to the ground with Korra. Naoto groaned as she slowly got back up and felt a sharp pain in her back. Almost as if she knew she was running out of options and time.
"Now will you stop this madness?" Asked Korra as she got up off of her stomach.
"After that lucky tackle? I don't think so!" Naoto once again went airborne and headed back for the Chapel. Korra followed her in the sky with her fire jets. Asami saw the two women flying through the sky and she ran back to the Chapel. Naoto kept flying untill she reached the Chapel where she stopped and saw a bowl full of mercury and two Metalbenders ready to hit Korra with it. Naoto smirked and avoided Korras fire punches and air kicks as she started giggling to herself in total unmistakable bliss.
"Why are you laughing so much?" Asked Korra.
"It's because you're done for. My plans complete! The Avatar Cycle is done! You two, inject her with the poison!" The two Metalbenders lifted the poison and as soon as Korra saw it she let out a fearful shriek.
"No! No! Not the poison! She'll ruin me!" Korra thought in her head. However before the metalbenders could shoot the poison at Korra Asami ran over to one of them and shocked him into unconsciousness with her glove! The other metalbender shot the poison at Korra before Asami could shock him too. The Avatar felt a sense of reassurance that she didn't feel earlier in her fight. Korra breathed in relief as she Metalbender the poison away from her before it could even touch her and she sent it back down onto the ground where the mercury was left as a useless puddle.
"No! My entire plan, ruined! He never told me that you could metalbend!" Yelled Naoto.
"Well. I can. Just give up Naoto. Your poison failed, your identity has been revealed and I'm too powerful for you to beat. It's over." Commanded Korra.
Naoto couldn't take any more of her plans going wrong. She put her hands on her head and stared at Korra with pure contempt and hatred. "DIE AVATAR!" She yelled as loud as she could. Naoto punched wildly in all directions as Korra narrowly avoided all of her strikes. Naoto then pushed forward with both of her hands and hit Korra with an incredibly hard air blast knocking her out of the sky! Naoto then noticed Asami below her and got an idea. Asami tried to run away from Naoto but she wasn't fast enough. Naoto harshly grabbed her and flew high up into the sky. Korra slowly got up after Naoto shot her down and she saw Asami in Naotos hands. Korra immediately used her flame jets to send herself back into the sky.
"Put her down right now!" Said Korra.
"Gladly." Snarked Naoto as she let go of Asami sending her falling to the ground! Thankfully Korra conjured an air spout under her and bended the spout over to the top of the Future Industries building allowing Asami to stay safe on a solid platform. Naoto used this time to hit Korra with an air kick sending her flying towards the ground but this time Korra wasn't going to mess around anymore. As she was falling Korra entered the Avatar State and flew back up to Naotos position at an even faster pace! Naoto saw her and flew away as fast as she could!
"Your powers may have been growing for years but mine have been growing since time itself began!" Declared Korra as Raavas voice echoed with hers. Naoto tried to hit Korra with more air punches but Korra flew around them all and saw a metal statue below her. She metalbended the statue broke off its pieces and shot all of them at Naoto. Naoto avoided them but then Korra waterbended a huge tidal wave of water at her from below and the wave hit Naoto right in the legs freezing them on contact! As Naoto was falling to the ground she sent one final air blast at Asami and it hit her right in the chest forcing Asami to fall to the ground. She screamed for help as she gained velocity.
"Korra help me! Please!" Korra saw Asami falling and she propelled herself towards her at full speed while still in the Avatar State! Korra had to be quick as Asami was getting close to hitting the ground but she reached Asami and caught her before she fell the whole way! Korra then quickly made an air spout to cushion Naotos fall before covering her body in stone to restrict her movements. Korra saw that Asami's eyes were closed and she feared that she might have been too late.
"Asami... Wake up... Please wake up!" Korra hugged Asami as she started to cry. This wedding had turned into a complete disaster. "I just wanted to get married. It was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives!"
"Well... We can always do it tomorrow..." Said Asami as she slowly woke up and gave Korra a romantic bedroom eyes look.
"Asami! You're okay!" Said Korra as she hugged Asami tightly. "I love you so much Asami!"
"I love you too. Thanks for saving me. You really are the best friend I could ever have." Said Asami as she hugged Korra and kissed her cheek.
"Oh brother. At this point I'm just gonna throw up!" Said Naoto as she struggled to no avail in her earth prison.
Korra was still pretty ticked at Naoto so she walked over to her after letting Asami get up. "Chief Beifong will be here in a few minutes. Just stay quiet if you know what's good for you."
"You'll pay for this. I'll never stop trying to kill you Korra. I'll find a way out of prison." Assured Naoto.
"I doubt that. Your dad's been in chains for years and he's still not going anywhere. Maybe I'll recommend that you get a cell close to his. Now if you'll excuse me I have a wedding to reschedule." Korra and Asami walked back inside the Future Industries building and one of the butler's walked over to them
"Don't worry. I'm an actual butler. I see that you've dealt with that insane airbender. Good."
"Do you know where the guests are?" Asked Asami.
"Well they're all in the pool area. They went over there after the whole Red Lotus fiasco was taken care of."
"Thank you." The two women walked into the pool area and saw all of the guests swimming around the pool. Meelo was doing cannonballs with Ikki as Tenzin laid down on the sidelines next to his wife Pema, the very excitable Rohan and the equally injured Jinora. Suyin watched on with joy as Opal and Bolin played with each other by splashing each other. Even Raiko was doing a backstroke with his wife Buttercup.
"May I have everyone's attention?" Asked Korra. Everyone at the pool stopped swimming and listened. "I know we've all had a very rough day today but I've taken care of Naoto. From the look of things here you took care of the Red Lotus as well. So this isn't just my victory. It's everyone's." Everyone clapped as Korra and Asami took bows.
"We've decided that if you still want to see us get married you can come tomorrow morning where we will hopefully have no more unnecessary interruptions. We both thank you for being understanding and for making the best out of a bad situation." Said Asami. Korra and Asami walked over to Tenzin and Jinora and saw how they were doing.
"How are you holding up Jinora?" Asked Asami.
"I'll survive. I may be an airbending master but I'm no Avatar. Thanks for saving my life."
"You're welcome. So Tenzin are you going to be okay?" Asked Korra.
"I'll manage. This was your victory before any of us got involved. You trusted your instincts. You were determined to show us the truth in spite of our doubts. Your actions allowed the real Asami Sato to be saved. I believe we all have you to thank on this day." Said Tenzin proudly.
"It means a lot Tenzin. I'll see you and your family tomorrow." Korra and Asami walked out of the pool area as they headed for Asami's bedroom.
"I think it's about time that you got rewarded Korra. Tomorrow we get married. Tonight we should have some fun. Love is in bloom with two beautiful brides in the room." Said Asami as she cheerfully opened the door and held Korras hands.
"Our two hearts have become one. I don't think I'll ever lose this bond with you." Said Korra as she kissed Asami firmly on the lips and fondled her hair. Asami rubbed Korras toned back and rubbed against Korras stomach as they started making out in Asami's private bedroom. They continued to kiss as Korras hands lowered to Asami's hips and Asami's hands reached for Korras hair. The two women stopped their kiss as saliva strands connected them.
"Let's enjoy this night we have together. It's the last one where we're just girlfriends. I can't wait to kiss you again on the altar." Said Asami.
"I'll always be here for you Asami. You'll always be my favorite girl."
