Here we are guys! I wish I could have updated this yesterday but we had guests so I was very busy
The dozen of spotted lights that danced around her hazed vision finally adjusted. Wincing against the light she gasped in awe as she stared across the vast arena, the roaring of spectators erupted into her ear as if the sound was vibrating off the very walls of the stadium.
Many spotlights perched on the ceiling, lighting its rays on the hexagon-like platform where the pro benders would be playing.
"Best seats in the house aren't it" Bolin asks inspecting Korra's fantasized face.
"This is awesome thank you so much Bolin" Korra says with fervent excitement that suddenly vanished as she heard the clearing of someone's throat sound off in the changing room.
"Bolin I keep telling you not to bring your crazy fan girls get her out of here"
Korra easily recognized the irritating voice. It didn't even take a second thought to guess who it was. The low husky voice that had shouted at her previously and the tone he was directing at Korra now only proved her hypothesis to be correct.
There was only thing that surprised her. How is it that a person who could be so aggravating and somewhat selfish could actually remember Korra from half an hour ago? Idiots like him should stick to forgetting people's faces. Spinning around to face Mako they glowered at each other with an equal amount of annoyance imprinted on their faces as if their role were to impersonate bickering children.
"Come on we don't have time for this Mako just say sorry to each other and get along" Bolin sighs sounding as if he were the mother of the two. Korra childishly pouted obviously not liking Bolin's idea of getting along but she owed him at least this much.
Korra sucked in her breath, quickly mumbling "I'm sorry" with exaggerating difficulty avoiding Mako's powerful gaze.
"It's okay I guess"
Mako replied making his voice sound as if he regretted saying those words. If it wasn't for the referee who came to tell them they had two minutes left before attending the match Korra would have exploded into an outburst of uncontrolled rage, thankfully it didn't happen.
He shouldered past Korra who shot him a sour face in return throughout his short journey out the door, Bolin followed after placing his helmet on his head shrugging at Korra. The crowd's roar grew to higher levels as if Korra was standing next to booming speakers in a rock band, the sound was deafening.
Regretfully Mako appeared with his brother Bolin and his third team mate who she believed was named Hasook. She squinted leaning on the bar that prevented her from falling into the water below to scan his face. Although his helmet covered almost his entire head Korra could spot his lazy eyed expression from a mile away. It was something that ticked her off instantly.
The only other expression Korra could see on his unappealing face was a deep set frown unlike Mako who's mouth was set in a thin line of blankness compared to Hasook's he looked like he was improvising a scowl that resembled to an crabby old man waking up early in the morning.
As Korra watched the fire ferrets line up into position Korra could scarcely hear the referee's introduction as she was engrossed between the conflicting team as they took their stance.
The gong rings signifying the beginning of the match, both teams instantly attack with fluid and swift movements. The excitement aroused Korra's voice into routing for the fire ferrets as they continued their merciless onslaught on the Golden Tiger Dilos as one team member was instantly pushed back into the second zone.
Korra stared in amazement at Mako and Bolin; although Mako had quite a mouth on him he could definitely prove his worth in a match. He moved gracefully and lightly as if gravity had no effect on his movements, launching into a series of fiery attacks Mako blended into the flame itself striking like a cobra with lightening reflexes.
Bolin being nimble on his feet like air, he striked with frightening strength and accuracy. A disk of earth arose from the ground which was pummelled into the gut of the following Tiger Dilos team mate knocking him off the platform from the first round. Bolin defended himself like a great mountain that refused to budge.
As for Hasook she was surprised but not in the complimenting way. Already being hammered into the second zone Hasook struggled to gain foot as he was continuously bombarded with harsh attacks that drove him into a helpless situation.
Unknowingly Korra hadn't noticed that Bolin was also pushed back a zone until an alarm that signified a trespass on a different zone alerted her.
Mako frequently changed stances from offense to defence in a flash leaping and twisting away shortly after which confused the other team as he deliberately changed the rhythm of his attacks.
Pushed into zone two by a flying disk the Tiger Dilos advanced into Fire ferret territory. Korra grew anxious as they struggled to attack; Hasook was driven into the final zone clumsily dodging in his restricted area.
She hardly wanted to watch, she felt embarrassed even though Hasook was taking the humiliation quite roughly. The density in his attacks decreased becoming weak and sluggish until the Tiger Dilos water bender knocked him off his feet sending him crashing into the water with an exploding smash, this left Mako and Bolin behind to defend.
The odds weren't looking well. The clock was drastically dropping down to 10 seconds; the Tiger Dilos had an advantage. They were more superior, they had strategies and what's more they have more experience than the Fire ferrets could ever hope for.
Mako and Bolin were just rookies on the field who had no information about their opponents and if they couldn't discover the Tiger Dilos flaws in time it would cost them the results they have been working so hard to achieve. As if just on cue, before the Fire ferrets situation could worsen the bell rung with the first match belonging to the Tiger Dilos.
A platform from below carried Hasook back to the ring in a drenched state, using his bending abilities he squeezed the water from his clothing momentarily displaying his muscular build. Once again the teams assembled in their designated positions waiting for the gong to ring.
The teams sprang forth into action equally exchanging blows that made everyone forget the embarrassing round the Fire Ferrets had previously lost. The Fire ferrets functioned like a well-oiled machine, even Hasook managed to cause a considerable amount of damage to the opposing team.
Before the Tiger Dilos could suffer under a greater amount of damage the round ended with the Fire Ferrets scathing through the event. At the pit of Korra's stomach she began to shiver with excitement joining the crowd's cheering in unison, Korra could hardly resist the cheering or the thrilling excitement that welled inside her; it was contagious and it showed no sign of ceasing.
Bolin and Hasook erupted in their own celebration pumping their fists in the air and hollering while fuzzy- browed Mako remained frowning with his forehead creased with sweat.
Korra understood why Mako hadn't given the satisfaction of even smiling in triumph; the game was one on one. The last game would determine who would be the victors and who will be packing their bags and going home tonight; both teams would have to struggle even harder to win the critical and final round.
Things were getting quite serious, even the playful eyed Bolin was succumbed to growling at the Tiger Dilos Earth bender in which Korra's opinion was one of the stupidest things he has ever done as of now. The tension rose, the moment of utter silence made Korra's heart beat wildly in her chest like a swarm of fluttering moths.
What happened next was a blur, Hasook escaped from where he was momentarily to be replaced by a heavy dousing of water that would have knocked him to the very back of the platform. The Tiger Dilo's Water bender once again bombarded Hasook with another heavy attack causing him to stumble around Mako and land on Bolin in an entangled heap.
The astonishment on their faces was priceless, if Korra wasn't supporting their team while taking the situation seriously she would have erupted into fits of laughter ages ago but it wasn't something to laugh about, they had made a mistake which would instantly label Bolin and Hasook as sitting ducks.
As Korra predicted what was to come both Bolin and Hasook was forcefully plunged into the drink. "Oh no" Korra groaned, gripping her head acting as if the match was already lost. There was just a very unlikely possibility that Mako could have the endurance to beat all three in the final round; it all depended on him.
He bobbed and weaved narrowly avoiding the onslaught of frontal attacks making them strike nothing but air but Korra couldn't help the clenching in her stomach. Korra knew Mako was planning to outlast them until they revealed an opening but the possibility for Mako to gain the upper-hand was next to impossible.
Matters only became worse as Korra witnessed Mako being driven to the last zone, almost wobbling over the edge. Korra watched as Mako grunted in frustration, hoping that some miracle would occur while she tugged at her wolf tails.
What happened next surprised Korra, as if her wish became true Mako retaliated unexpectedly catching the Tiger Dilo's water bender before he could form another attack to release on the supposedly helpless Mako.
The element of surprise was definitely on Mako's side, the Tiger Dilos were lead into a false sense of security cockily believing that they had the advantage while it was the other way around.
Shots of fire and earth grew in patches of air before evaporating without a trace; the opposing fire bender's back was rammed into a post- that supported the safety lines to prevent the player's from falling out of the ring sideways- causing him to yelp before falling all the way down after his team mate, only one remained.
The spectator's anticipation grew, it hummed in the air and Korra could almost feel the tingling sensation that ran throughout her body. The last bender's circled each other one waiting for the other to attack or falter but they carefully inspected each other trying to figure out their weaknesses. Mako attacked first.
The earth bender dodged swiftly, powerfully punching the disks from the ground that spun like lethal razors. Their attacks eventually collided into each other causing billows of dirt to erupt from the shattered Earth disk's place.
Everything grew shockingly quiet that Korra was convinced she could hear a unison of thumping heart beats that filled the silence.
The earthy fog created a thick screen that remained opaque until a blazing flame pierced through the mist catching the startled earth bender stacking into the third zone. As he slowly recovered from the blow a disk rose to his side as he watched for any sign of his enemy among the lingering mist.
Everything occurred so fast; Mako leapt through the mist with his fist ablaze aiming for his victim's chest. The earth bender raised the disk to protect his chest and nullify the blow but it appeared to be a wasted effort as he was driven over the edge by the brutal force of Mako's attack.
The spectator's cheer grew into a monstrous frenzy that deeply increased Korra's eagerness and once again her voiced joined the audience's like an untamed song as she watched Mako remove his helmet and make his way up to Korra's destination.
