A/N: HEY GUYS! I got some not so good news. I am going on hiatus (you can do that on here right?) for an unknown amount of time. I haven't been writing at ALL lately, and I've just been using my little safety cushion of extra chapters. Plus, I haven't been that inspired very lately, so I rather wait and post a kick ass chapter, then keep on writing with short not amazing chapters. If you really need to contact me, just PM me and I should get it. You can also ask me for my tumblr, but I'm not going to post that on here. Hope you guys enjoy this last chapter (for a while)
Chapter 9
Firebending, Earthbending, and Waterbending… I had mastered them so quickly. Well, at least got the hang of Earth and Fire. I guess you can say I'm pretty good at Waterbending now. Just a few more days… And I can start Airbending back at the island. After that, I guess you can say I can finally kick the government's ass.
"Korra! Are you even listening to me? You're just staring into space!"Mako yelled.
"Sorry!" I apologized, and quickly came to my senses.
"Well, sorry isn't going to do it. What did I just say?" He stated.
"Ummmm…"
"That's what I thought." He huffed. "Now start paying attention." Of course, I went back to going off into my own little world. How am I exactly going to defeat the government? I'm just one Avatar… One person that… Can kick your ass! Master of all 4 elements! And Martial Arts of course. Against some cops? This should be no biggie. Just then, I feel extreme heat near my face, and it singes my hair.
"MAKO YOU LITTLE SHIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I yelled at him.
"I'm trying to get your attention since you keep on going off into space." He retorted.
"Well you didn't have to almost burn my face off!"
"I'm just trying to help you!" He yelled back, getting dangerously close to my face. "Maybe if you payed attention I wouldn't have to do that!"
"Well, I'm sorry I have so much on my mind. I'm not just the Avatar! I'm human too."
"Look Kor-"
"I don't want to hear it Mako." I say as I walk away. He grabs my arm.
"No, look I'm sorry. You're not the only one stressed out here. I just want this to all go well. So benders and non-benders can leave in peace… And benders won't be treated like such.. Animals." He hissed coldly at the last part.
"So we're both stressed out and just want to get this over with. Sounds like one thing we both have in common." I sighed taking a seat on a nearby log.
"Let's just continue with your training. It's the only thing we can do right now to speed up the process." The training is going well, and the sun is setting as time goes by. Mako's way of teaching was… different. More sparring and physical contact, unlike Tahno and waterbending. Well, Fire is the element of power.
"C'mon Korra get on your feet! Don't make me singe your hair again." He teased.
"I'm exhausted!" I say, out of breath.
"One more round, then you can rest."
"Fine." I rolled my eyes.
Once again, we walk to a little arena Lin and Bolin made out of rocks, so we wouldn't end up burning everything to the ground. We got into our positions, and stare into each others eyes for what seems to be an eternity. We both strike at the same exact moment. The heat is nice and warm, instead of extreme. Mako is punching huge balls of flames at me while I deflect them. If I keep this up this match will never end… But no worry, I always have a plan. He throws more flames, as I run and dodge, getting closer to him with each hit. He starts to back up against the corner, until I kick a wall of flames at him. He deflects the attack, but by the time he does, my fist is already at his throat.
"Well done Korra." He kicks my feet and I fall to the ground.
"Haha, very funny Mako." I grab his leg so he falls onto the floor. We just lay there laughing.
"Well then Korra, we'll continue training tomorrow." He brushed off his clothes, offering a hand to pick me off the floor. I grab his hand, and stand up, brushing the dust off of my clothes. Everyone was starting to come into the arena.
"Wait I thought we were sleeping outside.." I said.
"It's raining. So we're all just gonna sleep in here for a little." Bolin replies dropping firewood onto the floor. The ground starts shaking. Turns out Bolin and Lin are earthbending the arena underground so it doesn't seem so suspicious. Mako lights some of the wood on fire.
"Well I'm going to sleep. Mr. Firebender's been pushing me to the limit today." I announced.
"Good night." Lin earthbends a small platform that I assume is supposed to be my bed. I lay on the hard rock, as I close my eyes, and try to go to sleep.
