Chapter 11

It was a regular day in Noatak and Korra's lives. Noatak went to work, after which the family of two fought the criminals in the neighborhood. It was soon clear for everyone that the crime rates had receded in the local areas and the people were grateful for Noatak's help in cleaning the neighborhood. However, there is a saying that the sky is clear before the storm and it would definitely apply in this situation.

In the afternoon, after defeating a few more criminals, the young family sat at the table, looking at each other with happiness as their efforts surely helped the people around them.

Someone knocked on the door and Noatak stood up before opening it. "Hello, is there a problem?" he asked as a man faced him

"There is. My boss was displeased with your actions and thus we need to fix their problems" spoke the man as he sent a fire wave at Noatak who froze it in its path.

"I can assure you that I will take you down; it is in your best interests to surrender" spoke Noatak as he took a bending stance and prepared to defend himself.

"I agree that you could probably take me and my friends down, luckily for me I brought help" spoke the man as Noatak realized that many criminals arrived to finish him off.

Noatak bent water and sent the Fire bender away from the house as he exited the house; he saw around thirty benders who all took offensive stances to kill him. "I am flattered at all the attention but you will all be defeated tonight" spoke Noatak as he began fighting the men.

While numerically the criminals clearly had an advantage, Noatak used all his skills to hold ground, the men fought on rather equal terms. Normally, Noatak would probably find it very difficult to fight so many guys at once but now it was personal, he knew that if he were defeated, not only would he die but also his daughter Korra, which gave him strength in fighting the benders.

Korra saw her father fighting and soon joined the fight; she bent lots of water at the villains, freezing many of them in place. Naga jumped and started helping; it was funny for an outsider to observe the scene as normally polar bear dogs were wild and the criminals were obviously afraid of the five year old polar bear dog, who by then was already rather big, the size of an adult black bear. Naga jumped at the benders with her open mouth showing her canines, trying to scare the men away from her companion.

Noatak and Korra fought well against the thirty or so benders but the family was running out of energy. They were already somewhat tired from the previous fight in the neighborhood and now they had little energy left inside.

"Korra, we need to defeat them" spoke Noatak as Korra for the first time in her life realized that her father was actually unsure of the outcome of the battle and seemed genuinely afraid of one possible outcome. The two continued fighting but now the young family started loosing.

The fight continued and soon both Noatak and Korra dropped to the group, as they were really exhausted. The leader of the criminal force smiled. "Your fates will make our associates really proud" spoke the criminal leader as he approached Korra

"Noatak, do you know what it feels to lose someone you are close to? I recently lost my brother, when you mercilessly sent him to prison" spoke the leader as he approached Korra, igniting the fire in his palm.

"Please, take me, leave Korra alone" spoke Noatak as a few tears escaped his eyes.

"If you say so" spoke the leader as he pointed for two of his men to hold Noatak in place.

"Before you die, I want you to experience great pain that will teach you not to mess with the Republic City underworld." Spoke the man as he brought his flaming hand to Noatak's face. The man screamed.

"Why are you not screaming louder?" asked the man as he began moving his hand across Noatak's face, burning the facial features of Noatak's rather handsome face.

"Today will be the day you die" spoke the man as he intensified the heat but Noatak tried to keep silent despite several unsuccessful attempts.

Korra saw a small puddle that Naga created and smirked. The little girl kicked the man who held her in the groin and then water bent the water, creating a powerful water whip, which then transferred itself into an octopus form. The girl then lifted many criminals up into the air and held them there before dropping them on the ground. She then transferred the water into the spikes and began sending them across the room. One ice spike went through the arm of the criminal leader, who screamed in pain as blood dropped on the floor.

"You little" he looked at Korra who began fighting back but soon was overwhelmed as many villain began their counter attack against the nine year old girl. While Korra fought the men, Noatak used this distraction to his advantage as he began fighting back.

Korra stood in the corner as she fought the criminals but soon realized that the house's roof could not take it anymore and began collapsing. Korra screamed, as she was ready to die, since the girl could not advance much further due to the constant attacks the criminals pushed at her.

Korra looked at Noatak's face and weakly smiled, a tear escaped her eye. Naga jumped and hugged Korra with her front paws before the roof fully collapsed itself on top of the girl.

After a great life the two shared, finally both Noatak and Korra were separated. Noatak's brain still had a difficult time adjusting to what had happened but when his brain fully processed it, Noatak looked furiously at the criminals. The house collapsed fully and now Noatak prepared his final strike against the villains. He did not want to send the criminals to the prison anymore, he was thirst for blood.
