Major Pro-bending Here

All of the lights went off in the stadium. A spotlight over the ring was switched on. The announcer emerged from the center of the ring with one hand raised and the other holding a microphone. People were going wild with loud cheers.

"Introducing the Fire Ferrets!" He pointed and turned to the Fire Ferrets. A spotlight is shone above the said team.

"It's starting. I can't believe it." Korra shook her sister with excitement. "I hope that the Fire Ferrets win."

"Stop shaking me. I wouldn't be able to see the match."

"The rookie Ferrets came from out of nowhere and have made it further than anyone expected this season. But tonight, they face their toughest test yet, folks."

The players all took on a fighting stance. As the bell was struck, the teams immediately began their match.

"And they're off! The two teams waste no time trying to blast each other out of zone one!"

Bolin ducked under a fire blast while Mako fired one himself. Bolin then raised an earth disc with his hand and kicked it to his opponent. The opposing team's firebender opponent destroyed the disc with a quick fire arc from his hand. He retaliated with two blasts. The Fire Ferret's waterbender Hasook dived on the ground to avoid a fire blast. As he got on his feet again, he pulled up water from the grate. He used the water as a defense from a fire blast but was slid back.

"Hasook is the first to feel the heat of the Tigerdillos! He tries to return the favor, but they're too fast for him, while Mako shows off his trademark 'cool under fire' style!"

"So what's the goal of this match?"

"The goal is to simply knock the opposing team off the platform by using their own elements."

"That sounds simple." Kanna arched her brow and looks at her sister.

"It's not simple. You have to defend yourself while attacking the opponents. There are also rules and limits that you need to follow. It's not like you can knock them out that easily. Just watch the match."

"The Tigerdillos score with a walloping one-two combo!"

Bolin and Hasook quickly scrambled on their feet. Mako directed his attention again to his opponents. He then jumped up and spins around his axis in the air, and he successfully avoided an earth disc and fire blast. As Mako landed, he was hit square in the chest by an earth disc. The impact of the disc pushed Mako's foot over it; the grate immediately lit up red and a horn was blown.

"Can the teammate hang on to their zone one territory? Guess not! Mako's over the line! The Tigerdillos get the green light and advance into Ferret territory!"

Korra clutched her head in despair and raised her fist. "Come on, Ferrets!"

"Tire those Tigerdillos out!"

The Tigerdillo's waterbending player directed a blast at Mako, but was blocked by Bolin's earth disc. Mako then jumped up and retaliated with a fire kick at the waterbender. The opposing player jumped over the fire blast and kicks an earth disc out of the way. It then struck Hasook, knocking him back to zone three.

"Looks like Hasook's in trouble! He's in zone three teetering over the drink!" Mako jumps over a quick water blast that's directing at his feet. The blast then travels on and hits Hasook; another earth disc and water bullet pushes him over the rim. Hasook then falls in the moat filled with water. "And Hasook takes a dip! He'll be back for round two!"

"So how do you know about pro-bending?"

"I just happen to come here when I get bored." Kanna averted her eyes away from the stadium.

"Wait a minute, don't tell me."

Both Mako and Bolin dodged an earth and water attack. Bolin then raised an earth disc, protecting himself against a water blast, but was being pushed back to zone three. Mako also landed in the third zone as well and with that, a bell was rung.

"Assuming the fabulous bending brothers can hold their ground until the next round."

"You were a probender. I knew it."

"I was not a probender who had her team won five times in the champ-" Kanna immediately covered her mouth. Korra gave a quick smirk. "You did not hear that from me."

"Round one goes to Golden Temple Tigerdillos!"

"Why didn't you tell me Kanna?"

"I didn't want to. It brings me bad memories coming here." Korra looked at her sister in the eye for a moment. "If I answer your question, would you not bother me with that subject?"

"Yes. Now tell me." Kanna gave a long sigh and looked at Korra.

"Now don't freak out. It all began when I came to Republic City eight years ago."

"The Fire Ferrets are knocked into zone two and the Tigerdillos advance!" The Tigerdillos advanced to zone one."

The Tigerdillo's earthbender directed a disc at Hasook, but Hasook blocked it with water. Both Mako and Bolin attacked the other team. Suddenly the speed slowed down as Bolin knocked the earth disc at the other team. The Tigerdillo waterbender attacked with a water blast. As it left his hand, he was hit square in the chest by Bolin's earth disc. Mako punched two fire blasts, and Hasook sent two water arcs straight at the Tigerdillos; the Tigerdillo's earthbending player was knocked to the ground.

"You had a criminal record?"

"No. It was just a couple of beatings on those triads. Howl was the rookie detective who kept a close eye on me." Korra tsked at Kanna. "Don't you tsk me, you're the one who caused the destruction and tried to evade the police."

"Speaking of Howl, where is he?"

"Talking to Toza, catching up for old time's sake." Korra raised both her brows. "What's with the brows?"

"Nothing." Kanna nervously sweated as the sisters continued watching the match.

"The Fire Ferrets cinch the round in the closing seconds! It's one apiece and it's still anyone's match as we go into the third and final round!"

A bell was struck once more, and both team jumped back. The Tigerdillo's waterbender raised some water and aimed at Hasook who tumbled out of the way and quickly ran on to avoid another water blast. Hasook then armed himself with some water as the Tigerdillo's earthbender raised a disc.

Meanwhile Mako destroyed the disc with a fire punch and Hasook shot his water bullet. As Bolin launched an earth disc, Hasook got hit by a water blast and crashed into Bolin.

"Hasook stumbles, and now he tumbles right into his teammate!" Bolin looked shocked; the Tigerdillo earthbender raised and kicked away a disc. The disc knocked the entangled Hasook and Bolin off the field. They fell into the water and a buzzer sounded. "He and Bolin better untangle quick if they don't want to- Oh, too late!"

Korra clutched her head in despair. "Oh no!"

"Come on Mako! Tire them out!"

"It's all up to Mako now! He's bobbing and weaving! He's weaving and bobbing! But he's not hitting back! If Mako's knocked out, the Ferrets' fabulous season is over!" Mako ducked under some water blasts, avoided a fire balls, and evaded an earth discs. He stood at the rim of zone three and he got into a fighting stance.

Korra pulled her hair in suspense while Kanna leaned in with her eyes wide open. Please they have to win. They have to.

"He's dancing on the edge of the ring, surviving the three on one barrage! It seems his plan is to let the Tigerdillos punch themselves out!" Mako avoids multiple fire blasts, earth discs, and water bullets with ease. He then punches a fire blast that vaporizes a water bullet and makes contact with Tigerdillo's waterbender, knocking him off the playing field. "And his plan is working! Han is in the pool! They've got nothing left in the tank and Mako is on the offensive!"

"It's two on one!" Mako shot multiple fire blasts and kicked, defending himself while attacks with fire. Tigerdillo's firebender got knocked back by a fire blast and was slammed against the back pole of the ropes and fell in the water. "Scratch that, it's one on one, and it's an earth and fire slugfest! There's so much smoke and dust from the fire that I can't even see where the Fire Ferret is!"

Mako and Tigerdillo's earthbender kept attacking each other; Mako's fire blast destroyed the earth discs in full flight and had the field covered in dust. He then shot a powerful fire arc in the dust cloud. The Tigerdillo was knocked back into his zone three. The earthbender raised a disc in front of him with a concentrated look until his eyes open wide. He saw Mako emerging from the smoke with a fire ball ready in his right fist. Mako used the momentum of his descent to increase the power of his blast and knocked the Tigerdillo's earthbender of the playing field, plunging him down into the moat. The bell's struck multiple times, declaring the winner.

"It's a knockout! What a wingdinger of a hat trick, folks! Mako pulls off the upset of the season, winning the match for the Fire Ferrets!"

Korra looked at the playing field in awe; she smiled broadly. "I think I want to do pro-bending."

Kanna had her hand behind her ear and spoke in a wistful way. "Do I hear the birds chirping and the bees buzzing?

Oh yes I do because my sister wants to do probending." Her voice then changed into loud anger.

"What, so I can't do pro-bending? How is it fair for you to pro-bend when I can't?"

"I'm just saying. Look I'm not trying to be Tenzin but if you want to probend, go for it."

"You're not going to stop me?"

"Nope, have fun with pro-bending."

"What have you done to my sister and where have you put her?" Kanna crossed her arms and looked at Korra with slanted eyes.

Korra turned around to see Bolin jumping back in the locker room.

"Woohoo! Yes! One more win and we're in the championship tournament!" Bolin held one finger up, snapped his fingers, and took off his helmet. "So, what'd ya think, Korra? Bolin's got some moves, huh?"

Korra grabbed him by his shirt's collar and playfully pushed Bolin backwards, making him stumble off to the side. "What did I think? What did I think?! That was amazing!"

"Nice job out there Fire Ferrets," Kanna clapped slowly but loud. "I never saw anything like it."

"Useless." Mako was irritated about the way Hasook almost cost the team the game.

"You guys were incredible out there!" Mako started walking; Korra pointed at Mako. "Especially you, Mr. Hat trick!"

"Oh, you're still here?"

"Oh, you're still a jerk?" Kanna patted her hand on Korra's back.

"Ooh!" Bolin chuckled and turned to Korra.

Korra then turned to Bolin and crossed her arms. "Anyway, I've been immersed in bending my entire life, but I never learned how to move like that! It's like there's a whole new style here! Think you could show me a few tricks?"

"Ab-so-lutely!"

Mako untied his protective gear. "Right now? Come on, Bolin."

Bolin placed his hand besides his mouth "Just ignore him. Yeah, I could show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my earthbending would translate to your waterbending, but we'll figure it out." He then pensively placed his left hand to his chin.

"Won't be a problem," Korra crossed her arms slyly. "I'm actually an earthbender."

Bolin eyed Korra confusedly; he didn't understand what she meant when she just said that she's and earthbender. "I'm sorry, no, no! I didn't mean to assume! 'Cause I, you know, I was just figuring with your Water Tribe getup that you are a Water Tribe gal."

"No, you're right. I'm-" Kanna covered her mouth and scurried her to a corner.

"Are you crazy," whispered Kanna.

"I'm just telling them that I can bend more than one element."

"You nuts?! Those two do not need to be involved with your crazy shenanigans." Korra tilted her head down and her eyes are looking up, adding a small pout. "No, no. Not the puppy-dog face. Please don't do that."

Korra continued to pout until Kanna can't take it anymore. So she sighed in defeat, "Fine, but just for once." Korra smiled and hugged her tightly. "Can't- breathe."

She walked back to Bolin and spoke calmly, "So anyway, I can do a little bit of bending water, earth and fire."

Bolin held his hand to his chin "Mm. Mm-hmm. I'm very confused right now."

"You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot." Mako lowered his head while closing his eyes.

"I guess both of those are true, Genius." Korra gave off her narrowed eyes and exhaled through her nose.

Bolin's eyes widen in shock; Mako has turned around to face Korra and Bolin. He turned to Mako, shielding his face from Korra with his hand while pointing at her "No way. The Avatar!"

"All right! Let's see what'cha got!"

Later they're at the gym with Bolin, now in casual clothing, and Korra in the gym with two piles of earth coins between them. You could see a net hanging on the other side of the gym as Korra decisively turned and raised her arm, an earth coin following her movement. She then knocked the coin away with her other hand and quickly repeated the movement, knocking two of the earth coins at a net and having them slam into the net. Korra still standed in her solid earthbending stance with a smile on her face.

"That was great! Good power! But in a real match, you'd be a sitting turtle duck. Not so upright and flatfooted! Stay light on your toes, right up until the moment when you need to dig in and strike. Then-" Bolin took on a fighting stance, punching the air. He then quickly raised two coins and immediately sent them flying towards the net. "Pop. Pop!"

The two earth coins flew toward the net and nearly hit the exact same spot where Korra aimed hers. Korra stared at the net with her mouth open while Bolin turned to her with a broad smile gestures at the net; he's inviting her to give it another shot.

"Okay, let me try it again."

"Nice technique Mister Bolin. Your tactics aren't like a rookie at all."

"Thanks Miss-" Bolin extended his hand as Kanna shook on it.

"Kanna, I'm Korra's sister. It's nice to meet you Mister Bolin."

Korra jumped from side to side, and then she threw two coins at the net, mimicking Bolin's fast strikes.

"Wow! Nice adjustment! You're a natural at this."

"Not bad." Korra turned around to see Mako leaning on the stairs. That's too much sarcasm you put there.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir," deadpanned Korra

"What? I said 'not bad'. You know what, it's getting late." Korra pouted at him and Mako shook his head. Mako saunters off with his hands in his pockets. "I think I'm gonna turn in. You kids have fun." He stopped and glanced back. "Nice to meet you, Avatar Korra. Miss Kanna."

Korra halfheartedly held her hand up. "Yeah, been a real pleasure."

Mako then walked away, "See ya upstairs, bro."

"Upstairs? You guys live here?"

"Yup. In the attic. It's nothin' fancy, but we have some great views!"

"Wait, you guys are living at the attic now? Do you happen to know two guys by the names Howl and Rai? They used to live there."

"Of course I do, they coach us for the probending matches until they retired and things went easy for us after that. You know them?"

"I was a friend of theirs that's all."

"Wait, you were the Kanna! I can't believe it. The Lightning Dragons have the most championships won five times in a row. What happened; why did you guys quit?"

"I rather not talk about. It's something personal." Kanna rubbed her head and averted her eyes. Howl then popped in, lifting the woman with his hug and making her yelp. "Howl, I thought you went back to the island."

"I did until I wanted to see the brothers."

"Howl," asked Bolin. "Hey, haven't seen you for so long. What are you doing here?"

"Apparently I am babysitting these two kids." Kanna formed a fist and bonked Howl on the head. "So let's continue with whatever you two are doing."

"Okay, so back to bending! Why don't you throw that combo one more time?"

Korra immediately hopped up and down a bit before successfully throwing two coins away. The two coins struck the net, and Korra smiled broadly at her success.If Kanna is able to pro-bend just like the old days, then maybe with a few pointers I could pro-bend like her.
