The First Avatar

Book 1: Mind

Chapter 11: Toph's Legacy Pt. 1

Korra, Bolin, Mako, Tahno and Asami were gathered together in the large training yard toward the back of Air Temple Island. It had been decided that they would all train together, however they would each have their own master.

As the only earthbender, Bolin was paired with Lin, Zuko decided to train Mako, while Katara trained Tahno and Korra who would also be training with Silver alongside Asami (mostly since Silver had the most martial arts knowledge).

"Right, Korra I want you to train with Katara first while I work with Asami, when we're all done for the day, we'll have a little battle-royale to decide who trained the hardest, the winner gets a prize." Silver teased. The young benders quickly set to work.

Bolin and Lin trained with basic earthbending techniques as Lin had decided he wasn't yet ready for Seismic Sense or metalbending. Rocks of varying sizes were thrown across their corner of the field; some were caught and redirected while others were reduced to dust. Lin successfully knocked Bolin back a few times and she herself was even pushed back, she was impressed by the way he could still effectively earthbend despite being very light on his feet. The two continued their training in silence with the exception of the odd grunt or groan.

Zuko was having a much tougher time with Mako. Zuko stood in one spot, moving his body only slightly to avoid the odd fireball that got close to him or to deflect what would have been direct hits. Mako was an above average firebender but compared to Zuko's skills he might as well have been an infant fighting a dragon.

"No Mako, you battle too coolly, truly powerful fire comes from using your emotions, your inner energy to fuel the flames. The less emotion and energy you put into fighting the weaker your firebending will be!" Zuko lectured him.

"Ugh this is so frustrating; nothing I do is making them stronger!" Mako retorted.

"Good!" Zuko yelled, "Use your frustration, your just letting it cloud you mind anyway so use it a fuel! Do it like this." The elderly firebender breathed deeply before roaring into the sky, sending a massive plume of flame into the clouds . Mako looked amazed at him.

"That's great but I won't always have a lot of frustration! What do I do in those situations!"

"Use another powerful emotion! Anger and Love are the two most powerful fire feeding emotions. Think on what makes you angry or what you love, but be careful, anger can easily control you in battle." Zuko instructed.

Mako took a deep breath and looked into the sky, images flashed through his mind. His younger brother Bolin, his girlfriend Asami and the other girl he felt strongly for, Korra. Their faces flashed across his eyes, their voices filled his ears and with one mighty roar, Mako sent a stream of flame into the sky, so powerful that it could be seen anywhere in Republic City. Breathing heavily Mako looked back down to see his friends and their teachers looking at him, amazed at his power.

"Come on everyone back to work!" Silver shouted sparing a moment to give a smile to Mako.

"And that's how it's done" said Zuko.

Asami had stopped training after seeing her boyfriend's incredible display but her current teachers yell snapped her back to attention. She had been using her new Equalist glove and a special kind of fighting style known as the heavenly palm, an airbending martial art that focused on using the palms to confuse, mislead and push back an assailant. Combined with the shock glove, it was a particularly dangerous way of fighting, both for Asami and her opponents. As an airbender martial art, it was designed to incorporate airbending however since Asami couldn't bend, she had to find a way to compensate for her massively weakened defence.

"Now when the enemy comes at you with an under arm stance, wait until he is close, if he gestures down then you have to pull your non-gloved hand in like this and then bring your glove around to knock the incoming blow toward the attackers own body, then use the other hand to push forward on his forearm to break his stance before shocking him for the finish"

Silver gave Asami a small demonstration to show her the correct stances. Within a few minutes she had performed each stance and movement perfectly, Silver was pleased but also reminded of why she preferred Korra. Asami was almost too perfect, she mastered everything quickly and efficiently but she had no real spirit or drive. Korra may make a lot of mistakes but she always has the guts to keep going.

Speaking of the spunky young Avatar, Korra and Tahno were passing a large orb of water back and forth between them, Katara adding more water to the orb as it it passed her. Korra and Tahno's loss of bending may have been a blessing in disguise as now that Korra was a living water spirit and Tahno had been partially infused with Silver's energy, both of their Waterbending had become incredibly powerful. Before long Katara had to stop adding water as the orb became too big to move without taking up the others training space, so instead she began freezing the orb, layer by layer to make it heavier and thus harder to lift through bending.

"Well done you two! I'm impressed." Katara praised having just turned the orb into solid ice and watched as the two waterbenders moved it with little effort.

"Thank you Sifu Katara" Korra bowed to her teacher, motioning Tahno to do the same. The act of respect was rather awkward to Tahno, he had never been good at showing respect…

"Thanks…" he mumbled as he straightened himself out again.

Katara smiled at him, she was aware that it was often hard for young men like Tahno to show proper respect, their pride got in the way.

It wasn't a moment later that an event that would change the path of destiny occurred.

Mako shot a particularly strong fire ball at Zuko, who in turn knocked it away. Unfortunately he knocked it to the ground not far from Bolin, the subsequent flash of heat startled the teenage earthbender into stumbling away from the impact, this caused him to avoid the rock that Lin had just thrown instead of blocking it, allowing to continue on its path.

Right toward Korra…

"LOOK OUT!" Silver cried, running to Korra.

She wasn't able to react in time as the rock smashed into her side, knocking her to the floor with a hard thud.

"KORRA!" her friends all yelled as they ran to her. Silver was already preparing some form of technique to help her when the girl woke up.

"Korra are you alright!" asked Tahno breathlessly, he had just barely been able to turn the ball of ice back into water before it hit him, leaving him drenched in freezing water.

"Yeah… I'm fine but…I had a vision, like the others." Korra said, her head still pounding, she looked directly into the worried face of the former police chief.

"Why are you staring at me?" asked Lin.

"The vision was about Toph"

And that's the first part of my three part "Toph's Legacy"

Lin will be learning a few interesting things very shortly!

UPDATE TOP 5

1. Silvorra and Makorra. The Makorra shippers have been voting again and Makorra is back up and tied with Silvorra!

2. Borra. Probably the highest Bolin has been on this list!

3. Tahnorra. Tahno votes out of nowhere!

4. Korsami and Masami. Another tie, this time between Korra and Mako, but will either of them win Asami...

5. Lin/Tenzin/Pema. I somehow doubt that either woman would share Tenzin but damn he's a player!

and their you have it!

After watching the amazing episode 8, a week for ep 9 seems cruel and unusual! Also i have strong urges to kill a certain someone and i know Silver agrees.

Thanks for reading, hope you continue to enjoy!
