I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF KORRA.


Chapter Eight- Hiding Spots

While General Iroh and Lin are back in the office going over some business and finishing up other work, Asami, Bolin, Mako, and Korra are all wandering the City, talking.

It's getting dark outside and it's been a long day. The four of them are tired, but they all have so much on their minds, they can't even think about sleep.

"I can't wait until we get to beat some Equalists' butts." Korra says with a smirk, "When I get my hands on Amon, I swear he's going to regret all the things he's done."

"He's not going to stand a chance against us." Bolin says with a proud smile on his face.

"Um, I don't know . . ." Asami says with a shrug.

Korra frowns and raises an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"You're not seriously doubting the amazing powers of the Avatar, are you, Asami?" Bolin asks, shocked.

Asami shrugs and sighs, "I know we're strong and all, definitely with the Avatar on our side, but Amon could take away someone's bending. He has no problem doing it either."

"She has a point." Mako says with a sigh, "How are we going to do this?"

Korra looks down at the ground as she walks. She slightly shrugs her shoulders, "I'm actually not sure . . . I do know. You're right, but . . ." Korra looks up and smiles slightly at Mako, "I'm not going to give up. I'm going to get both of your parents back."

"Yeah, but I don't want you risking your bending and life either." Mako tells the Waterbender. "Amon will have no problem hurting you."

Korra runs her hand through her hair and sighs, "I know, but I know I could take him. What's really bothering me is that I don't get why he would go through all that trouble with taking your parents then showing it off."

"It's Amon. He never makes sense." Asami says with a shrug.

"Yeah, but maybe Amon does have a reason this time. He purposely went through all that trouble to find our parents and then he shows them off to us." Mako says, "I think he may have a plan."

"Well, of course Amon has a plan! It's Amon, but he's not going to tell us anything until it's time and when he wants to." Bolin says with a sigh.

"I wonder if Lin could find out where he is." Korra says, "That would be so much help."

"Yeah so we could ambush them or something." Bolin says with a smile.

Asami nods, "Or sneak in there, grab your parents, and sneak out without Amon knowing."

Mako, however, watches Korra while Bolin and Asami continue to talk. Korra's staring blankly ahead, no emotion on her face or in her eyes. Mako places his hand on her shoulder, "Everything okay?"

Korra shrugs, "There's just something not right. I think Amon is doing all of this for a different reason. Otherwise, your parents would mean nothing to him. He's using them for something and I have a bad feeling about it."

Before Mako could respond, Asami interrupts them. "Hey, guys, look at this." The Nonbender picks up a piece of paper off the ground and shows them.

"A rally?" Bolin asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Looks like it says so." Korra says, "Amon's hosting a rally tonight."

"This time too." Mako adds.

Asami nods then also adds, "And the place is only a block away from where we are now."

Korra smirks, "Alright, who's in?"

. . .

The four friends walk over to the abandon warehouse, all dressed up so no one will recognize them. Mako and Korra exchange a look and then Korra walks up to the tall man who is guarding the entrance.

"Excuse me." The Waterbender says, "We would like to get in to watch our Leader Amon talk."

"Oh really?" The man asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, can you let us in?" Mako asks, biting his lower lip and narrowing his eyes at the man.

"Where's the invite?" The man suddenly asks.

Asami pulls out the piece of paper she found before on the ground, "You mean, this?"

"That'd be it. You may enter." The man says, stepping aside.

"Thanks." Asami says with a nod and then with that, after they all exchange looks, the four walk inside the warehouse.

. . .

When they walk inside, there were at least over five hundred people inside. Way more. Korra's eyes widen and she has to hold in her gasp. She never knew so many people were on Amon's side of the war.

When the lights start to dim, the chatter stops and smoke starts to cover the stage.

Korra looks at Mako and nods, "Here we go."

Asami and Bolin share a look and then they both turn their attention to the stage.

Suddenly, Amon appears on the stage. He's standing in the center with his hands folded behind his back and his head held high. He looks around, his head slightly turning left and right. Korra could swear when he looks straight, his eyes land right on her. She feels him starting directly at her, but when he looks away, she forgets the feeling.

Amon nods his head to the Lieutenant, who then disappears off the stage. Amon then turns his attention to the people and nod once more, "Welcome, my Brothers and Sisters. You are all here today to be part of my Revolution against Benders! For years, Benders have taken advantage of us, Nonbenders, and it's time to end that Era! It's time to start a new Era or equality; a new Era where Bending no longer exists!"

The crowd cheers and Korra takes a deep breath. Not good.

"The Avatar and her friends are trying to stop us and they are trying to end our Revolution. They are going to try to use their bending to stop us, but it won't work! You know why? We're stronger than them and also, I have leverage over the Avatar!" Amon announces.

Korra narrows her eyes at the masked man. She looks at Mako with a confused look. Leverage? What?

"Nothing will stop our Revolution, no one, nothing, and especially not the Avatar and her friends!" Amon yells into the microphone.

The crowd starts going wild. Amon nods, smirking under his mask, "We're going to start the Revolution very shortly and on our next rally, we'll continue with our plans and ideas!"

Asami nods to Bolin, Mako, and Korra, "C'mon, we should head out of here."

The three of them nod in agreement and then the four of them start making their way out of the building. However, right before Korra could leave through the doors, she hears Amon say clearly into the microphone, "Watch out, Avatar, the end is coming shortly, along with your precious Bending."

Korra then rushes out, following her friends.

Once the four of them make it out of the building, they walk a few feet away before stopping.

Korra shakes her head, "He knew. He knew I was in there. How? How did he know?!" Korra lets out a frustrated huff, "Now what?"

"Now we go home, get some rest, and then tomorrow we tell the General and Lin everything that we just heard." Asami says with a nod.

"Yeah, it's the best idea." Mako says with a shrug. When he sees Korra's nervousness, he shakes his head, "Everything will be fine, Korra. I promise."

However, Mako couldn't even get all the words out of his mouth before out of nowhere an Equalist comes running towards them.

Korra instantly sees it. Since she sees it first, she pushes her friends out of the way and blocks the attack with her firebending.

Mako goes to help Korra, but before Bolin and Asami could go help, another Equalist comes and the two deal with that one.

Korra and Mako are both using their firebending against the Equalist. The Equalist tries chi-blocking them, but misses every time.

Korra narrows her eyes at the Equalist. She's had it with Amon and his followers. Korra swings her foot up in the air, bending the ground beneath the Equalist, which sends him flying in the air and then she uses her firebending to land a large, powerful attack to their chest, sending them flying into the ground.

Mako smirks at that, meanwhile, Bolin and Asami are fighting the other Equalist. Asami is dodging the attacks, distracting the Equalist while Bolin is sending large pieces of rocks towards them, knocking the Equalist right out.

"Where did they come from?" Asami asks with a raised eyebrow.

"Amon. He knew we were there." Korra says then sighs.

However, before anyone else could do anything, the Lieutenant appears out of nowhere on a motorcycle. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Avatar."

"You're the Lieutenant." Korra coldly replies.

"Smart girl." He mockingly chuckles, "Too bad I'm going to have to stop you."

"Yeah right. There are four of us and one of you." Korra says with a smirk, "Bring it on."

"Oh, I'm not here for a fight with you, Avatar. I'm here to give you a message . . . from Amon." Lieutenant says, smirking under his mask.

"Oh, what? Now Amon has you as the messenger bird?" Korra asks with a smirk.

The Lieutenant rolls his eyes and coldly answers, "He said he has leverage over you. What leverage? You're willing to do whatever it takes to rescue Mako and Bolin's parents. So, come alone to Aang's Memorial Island. He'll be waiting. One on one. You come then their parents go free. Basically, it's a trade. The Avatar for their parents. Amon will give more details later. Now, bye, bye, Avatar!"

The Lieutenant then goes to drive away, but Korra shakes her head. "Oh no you're not. Mako, guys, take these two Equalists we just fought to Lin and Iroh; I'm going to follow the Lieutenant and find out where their hideout is."

"Korra, let me come with you-" Mako begins, but Korra quickly shakes her head, "Be safe and I promise by tomorrow morning you'll see me in your apartment, sleeping on the couch, okay?"

Before the Firebender could even say anything, Korra was off. She was using her earthbending to catch up with the Lieutenant. The Lieutenant sees her following him so he starts throwing weapons behind him and at Korra.

Mako runs his hand through his hair and lets out a frustrated sigh. He really didn't want Korra running off after the Lieutenant on her on. The Firebender still can't believe Amon is using that as leverage so he could have the Avatar! No matter how much Mako wanted his parents back, he will find another way. He won't have Korra trade herself just to save his and Bolin's parents.

Asami and Bolin nod to him and then with that, the three of them start to carry the Equalists to City Hall where Lin and Iroh are.

Yup, this was definitely one long night.

. . .

Korra was running after the Lieutenant, still using her earthbending. She's throwing her own fire balls at him, but he easily dodges them all. Finally the Lieutenant comes to a stop. He jumps off his motorcycle and takes out two Kali Sticks.

Korra smirks, "Is that the best you got?"

The Lieutenant just smirks under his mask then starts charging after the Avatar.

Korra dodges the first few swings, but finally, from behind, another Equalist grabs her waist and shocks her with an electrified glove.

"Ahhhhh!" Korra screams in pain, falling to her knees. The Lieutenant smirks once more and then kicks Korra in the stomach. "Ow! Ugh . . ."

The Lieutenant shakes his head, "Shouldn't have tried to follow us, Avatar." He then takes the two Kali Sticks and jams them into the Avatar's side. Again, making her break into a loud, piercing scream in pain.

Moments later, the Lieutenant mocks Korra and then is off on his motorcycle to his hideout with the other Equalist following behind him. What they didn't know, though, was that Korra, even though she was in a great amount of pain, was pretending to be knocked out.

Slowly and carefully, she stands up and she starts jogging the same way the Lieutenant just vanished too. She follows his trail and she tries to keep her balance. She feels like she'll pass out any second. She holds her sides in pain and she uses her earthbending to keep herself steady and to help her walk.

'I'm going to find you, Amon. I'm going to find your hideout if it's the last thing I do.' Korra thinks to herself. She takes a deep breath then continues to search for the hidden hideout.

. . .

It seemed like forever, but finally, Korra comes to a stop. She hides behind a building as she watches the Lieutenant enter a secret door to the hidden hideout.

She smirks; she found it. She finally found it and hopefully Mako and Bolin's parents are in there.

Korra leans against the wall for some support, she could barely stand. She lost some blood, she knows. She also knows she'll be having a lot of bruises on her as well. She moans in pain, clenching her jaw.

The Avatar peeks once more to see the Lieutenant vanished inside the secret door of the hideout and she's all alone outside right now.

Slowly a smirk appears on her lips and the last thing she thinks of before passing out and falling to the ground unconscious is that she finally found the hiding spot of where Amon was keeping the hideout and she could only pray to the Spirits Mai and Bumi were in there.

Then with that, the Avatar forgets all about the promise she made to Mako about her being in his and Bolin's apartment before he wakes up in the morning and she falls to the ground, completely unconscious.
