When extremes meet

Hiccup kept his eyes trained on the ferry approaching the island, later today he would take over as chief of police and he was nervous as hell. His mother had been confined to bed rest for about a week, he knew that she hated it. He had visited her every day since she had been confined. As the small ship approached the dock, the airbending kids quickly made it to the docks to greet the new occupants, "Hiccup, who's coming, who's coming, who coming, who's coming?" Ikki asked, swinging from his arm, he smiled, "Just some friends of mine and Korra's, little flying lemur." Hiccup said, swinging her into the air. Ikki landed just as the ferry pulled into dock.

"Thanks again for letting us stay here for the time being." Asami said to Korra as the boys help unload her luggage, "Sprits! I've lifted boulders not as heavy as this!" Hiccup said as he hoisted a trunk over his shoulders, Mako picked up one of her bags, "Trust me, " he said in a huff, "it could have been much worse." he said, walking onto the dock. Korra smiled, "You guys know Tenzin asked the air acolytes to get all your luggage." At this, Mako, Bolin and Hiccup turned to the girls and their jaws dropped, "Thank you, for nearly breaking my back." Hiccup said, dropping the trunk onto the dock, along with the brothers.

After the girls where shown to their room, the boys headed towards the dormitory. "So which is your room?" Bolin asked, "Hiccup shook his head, "Mine is across from Korra's." Bolin's eyes nearly shot out of head, "You are right in the center of the girls dormitory! You lucky, lucky man." he said, Mako smacked him on the shoulder and Hiccup blushed bright red, "Korra and my mother would skin me alive, besides I got eyes for Korra only. NOT THAT WAY!" he said, adding the last part quickly.

Looking himself over in the mirror once more, Hiccup thought he looked decent enough for his speech today. He managed to stop his nervous shaking with a few deep breaths. "Wow, you clean up nice." a voice said, turning he saw Korra standing in the doorway with a package in her hands, "Thanks, personally, I think the medal look is starting to get a little old, I was thinking something different." he said walking over to her and pecking her forehead. "Whatcha have in mind? Fur? I think you could pull it off." Korra said, tracing the collar of his armor. Hiccup smiled, "Surprise, I want to give you shock and awe." he said. Korra smirked, lately the two of them had been spending more and more time together. "So Ms. Korra, what's in the box?" he asked, tapping on top of the package, Korra smirked, "From your mom, she said she's sorry she couldn't come out and see you but wanted to give this to you. Said your gram wanted you to have it." Hiccup's eyes darted to the box, Korra handed it to him. Tearing the package, it showed a flying pig on a gold plate ontop a widen box. Opening the box, a pice of dark black rock was the only thing in there. Hiccup felt his eyes begin to water, "Space earth. Gran always said she'd give it to me. But..." a few tears fell onto the rock, Korra felt her a tug on her heart strings, she walked behind Hiccup and embraced him from behind. "She loves you, you know that right?" Korra said, trying to comfort him. Hiccup whipped the tears away, "Yea...I know." he placed his hands over hers, Korra brought her lips behind his ear, "She's not the only one." she said. Hiccup nearly fainted, "I...I love you to Korra." he said, barely above whisper. Korra felt her heart soar, looking over his shoulder she saw the black as night rock, "So what can this thing do?"

The photographers snapped a few shots of him for the paper the next day, the headline was 'Youngest Police Chief Yet! Hiccup BeiFong Takes up The Mantle!'. Tenzin had agreed to into take up the mic before him so the tension was lessened, he took a deep breath, and walked up to the podium, "It is my privilege to introduce the new chief of police, Hiccup BeiFong." Tenzin announced. The crowed clapped as the teen took the stand, "Thank you councilmen Tenzin." he said to the older man, Tenzin looked onto his nephew with pride, "Citizens of Republic City. I know that the past few months have been hard on everyone in some way or another. Since Amon has taken power, non benders and benders have been torn between two sides. I understand that non benders have seen this as a chance for equality, and have joined the ranks of Amon. This doesn't make them evil, in fact it makes them human." the crowd was dead silent, "But what makes the Equilists bad, evil, or anything along that line, is how they take away people's bending with force! It doesn't matter whether or not he can take it away, what does matter is that he does it because he can. It's no better than taking a house away from a family, or someone taking a life, it's something that people are born with, something that they had no say in." Hiccup looked into the crowd and saw affirmation, "The role of the metal bending police is to protect and serve the citizens of Republic City, despite their nationality. Me and my mother both full heartedly believe this. I believe it because I'm one of the Avatars and it's our job to help find peace and balance. And I am determined to do that. Thank you." he finished, after a moment of silence, the crowd roared to life. Clapping, whistling, and cheering. Hiccup smiled in relief, No angry mob, thank goodness.

Hiccup entered city hall with a load off his mind, and a wave of relive wash over him. That was until he saw Tarrlock, Tenzin and Korra, "-and goes the airbending training? Have you managed to learn a single form? Face it, your a half baked avatar." he said, Korra looked like she was ready to explode. Fuck it. Tarrlock has had this coming. Hiccup thought as he approached the three, "At least Korra has the guts to go out and face Amon." he said, Tarrlock gave the boy a irritated look, "Careful Mr. BeiFong, I'd hate to see you out of your position so quickly." Hiccup gave him a smirk, "Well, seeing as how I'm the Avatar, I'm pretty sure I can overrule you on that, right Tenzin?" the monk nodded, "Yes, plus with I and Korra supporting you, I'm fairly sure Tarrlock couldn't do anything." Tarrlock's face became more angry with each word. "Tarrlock face it, your not getting your way and you don't like it. Grow a pair and get over it." Korra added, the councilman sighed, "Fine, but don't worry, I'll get my way soon enough." he said. And with that he walked out of the hall. Korra wrapped her arms around Hiccup and nearly squeezed the life out of him, "Thanks, I really wanted to hit him, sooooooooo bad. By the way, your speech was amazing." she said keeping arm wrapped round his waist, Tenzin nodded, "I agree, what you said to all those people helped, you promised unity and strength. And that is what we need right now." he said placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'll go get Oogi, Hiccup do you need a ride?" Tenzin asked as the three exited the building. "I got Toothless. I'll be fine." Tenzin nodded and went to get his sky bison. Hiccup turned to Korra, "So have you told him about the whole, visions thing?" Korra gave a nervous laugh, "Kind of slipped my mind. I'll tell him about it on the way back." Hiccup rolled his eyes, "Uh huh." Korra raised a eyebrow, "You got something you wanna tell me dragon boy?" she asked jokingly, he shook his head, "Nothing, nothing at all."

Hiccup was exhausted, his first day as chief had been a boring day, sure the station threw him a party and there was cake, but the horrid part was all the paperwork! His hand was sore like no tomorrow. As he made his way to his room he spotted Korra near the cliffs, "Careful, that's a nasty drop." Korra turned, her eyes where red. She had been crying, "What's wrong?" Korra shook he head and looked down, "Nothing." "Bullshit." Korra's head snapped back up, Hiccup covered his mouth, "Did you just swear?!" she asked, Hiccup let his hands fall to his sides, "Alright you caught me, I usually keep it to myself though!" he said defensively. Korra was trying her hardest not to laugh but failing miserably , "Enough about my fowl-mouthing, what is wrong?" Hiccup asked again, Korra wasn't laughing anymore but her lips didn't stop smirking, "What Tarrlock said got to me, no big deal. He's just an asshole anyways." Korra said, "Korra! Did you swear?" the two turned to see Asami, Bolin and Mako.

"How long where you guys listening?" she asked, Mako spoke, "Long enough, look you've saved our buts more than I can count. What one guy says doesn't matter." Bolin nodded in agreement, "Yea, besides we're all here for you Korra." Asami stepped gave her a supporting smile, "If it wasn't for you, my dad would still be making weapons for the Equilists and we wouldn't even know it." Hiccup put a hand on her shoulder, "Yea, we're all here for you Korra." he said gesturing to all of them, "Yea, we're a real team." Mako said. Bolin looked like he had a heart attack, "No no no, better, we're the new team avatar!" he said. Korra smiled, "Yea...yea we are! " Korra exclaimed. Hiccup grinned, "Well lets start acting like it. The task force was a good idea yea, but the five-" Toothless gave him a purr, "Six of us, we can do better." Asami nodded, "Yea, I bet we could find and beat more Equilists in one night than they could in a week." Korra smiled, "Lets do it."

Asami got behind of the wheel of her Satomobile as the rest of them got in, "Uhhhhhhh no thanks, I'll take Toothless." Korra cast a confused look, "You don't like driving?" Hiccup shook his head, "It's not that, I don't like her driving." he said pointing to Asami, she merely grinned, "I still say you over reacted, we didn't crash!" hiccup mounted Toothless, "Almost. We almost crashed, and it was pretty close." he said, Asami rolled her eyes, "Whatever you say Hiccup." Hiccup pedaled into the launch position, "Wear a seatbelt!" he said before taking off.

Fallowing the car from the air, he could hear that they hadn't taken his advice, he loved Asami like a sister, but she's one of the most dangerous people on the road. After patrolling for a few minutes, Asami turned her car down the street and went after a speeding van, This again? Hiccup thought as he dived after the van, Toothless let out a plasma blast in front of the van, the car swiveled a tad but kept on course, two chi blockers climbed onto the roof, Oh no, snag me once shame on me. sure enough the two threw bolas at him and Toothless. Hiccup used fire bending to incinerate one while Toothless set fire to the other. Okay, that isn't going to work, what else- as he thought Bolin earthbent a ramp for the car to fly into the air, Mako and Korra then used firebending, to stop the car. Hiccup was speechless Note to self, ask Mako if he needs a job.

After freeing the prisoners the task force arrived, Tarrlock was the first one out, "Chief BeiFong! What are you doing! These vigilantes are interfering with the task force!" he said, clearly furious. "Who? Them?" Hiccup mockingly asked, gesturing to the new team Avatar, "Their my deputies. Since I'm chief I can do that." He said, Sprits I've been waiting to see that look on his face for SO LONG! Hiccup thought, Tarrlock's face was red with anger and he looked ready to burst. Through seething teeth he said, "This. Isn't. Over." and with that he trotted off with to his vehicle. The others on the task force where trying their hardest not to laugh. Korra went over to Hiccup and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on the lips, earning a few wolf whistles from the officers. Breaking away she whispered, "I love all the confidence."

"You still haven't told me how you found a police scanner." Hiccup said, looking on Asami's dashboard. The girl sighed in frustration, "For the last time Hiccup, I didn't steal it." she said. The team had taken a short pit stop for the night. Bolin had offered to go into a restaurant to get food for the team, "Well it's funny, I've checked out the records on the cruisers, we're short one." Asami nervously brushed her hair back, Mako looked at his girlfriend, "You didn't!" he said with shock in his voice. She raised her hands, "Fine! I swiped one off one off of the assembly lines!" she admitted, Hiccup burst out laughing, "Hahahahahahahaaaaaa! You thought I actually thought I looked through all those papers!" he said clutching his stomach, Mako and Korra giggled, "Mako!" she yelled. He shook his head, "Sorry I can't help." He said. Hiccup put a hand on her shoulder, "Tell ya what, turn it in and I'll-" just as he was about to finish, the whole block went dark. "What the hell!" Mako shouted, Bolin ran out of the restaurant, "What happened?!" he shouted, tumbling into the car. Hiccup hopped out and onto Toothless, "I'll fly as high as I can and see what's up, I'll shoot a blast for you guys to head to." he said strapping in. "I'll keep the scanner on, see if I can't pick up anything." Asami said as he took off.

Hiccup looked down to see a good part of the city was suffering from a massive blackout, "Bud you seeing this? " Toothless nodded. As the two scanned the area, Hiccup saw flashing red lights at one end of the of the blackout. Flying down Toothless shot a blast showing where to meet, he saw the task force fencing off the blacked out area, "What the hell!" Landing in front of the officers he grabbed the nearest one, "Shen! What's going on?" the officer shook his head, "I don't know Hiccup, we just got orders to fence off the area." he said gesturing to the blockade, "Who ordered it, I sure as fuck didn't!" he asked angrily, "From me." Hiccup looked and saw none other than Tarrlock. "Tarrlock these are people's homes, we have to see if anyone is hurt!"

Tarrlock shook his head, "You don't understand, we shut the power off." Hiccup was now confused, "What?" Tarrlock shook his head, "This is a all nonbender district, the perfect place for Equilists." As they spoke team avatar rolled up. "You cannot be serious." Hiccup said with anger dripping off every word. "We must rid the city of this danger, like you said Hiccup." he shook his head, "NO! I said, we need to work together, what your doing here. What YOU ALL are doing here is wrong." Hiccup said, his hands setting aflame. "Tarrlock you've crossed the line." Korra said, stepping beside Hiccup. "You two ate in my way avatars, remove yourselves at once." he said. Korra looked to Hiccup, then to her friends, Hiccup nodded. "Hell no. They're people, not animals. You want to put them away, you go through us." Tarrlock shook his head. "Fine you leave me no choice. Arrest them." he ordered to the officers. None of them moved. "I said arrest them!" Finally a few of the officers moved forward, and stood beside team avatar.

"What are you all doing? If you don't arrest them you will all be discharged!" Shen stepped forward, "We never go against what the chief says. Plus, we agree with what he says and not your crap, sir." Tarrlock didn't know what to say, "Officers!" Hiccup called, "Right now we need to restore power to this part of the city, whomever was responsible for tuning it off, get it up and running again. Everyone else, we're going door to door and see if anyone needs help. Sound good?" they all nodded in agreement, he turned to his friends, "You guys can stay and help or go patrol the city, we can't the bad guys thinking we're slaking off." Korra nodded, "Sure thing chief." she said rushing towards the car. The rest of the team joined her. As they left Hiccup shouted, "ALRIGHT ALL YOU WOLFBATS LETS MOVE!" and with that the metealbendes headed into the darkness.

"It was a miracle no one was injured." Tenzin said. After the power came back he and Korra returned to the island to inform Tenzin of the events that took place. "Tarrlock went to far this time. I don't care what it takes, first chance I get I'm throwing his ass in jail." Hiccup said, taking a sip of coffee, Korra looked to Tenzin, "Can't you and the council do anything?" she asked, the monk shook his head, "No, he has too much influence. If I try anything it could take months for anything to happen." Korra stood abruptly, "Yea, just figures." she said walking to her room, "Korra!" Hiccup called but was either not listening or couldn't hear him.

Hiccup was sleeping peacefully, that was until Toothless poked him awake. "Bud...let me sleep, it's tooooooo early." he wined pulling his covers over his head. Toothless huffed in frustration, he then got the covers in his mouth and yanked them off the bed. Sighing, Hiccup rose from bed, Toothless gestured at the door, "What? You want go flying? It's way to late for that." Toothless then dragged Hiccup out the door and pointed at Korra's room. Suddenly it all clicked into place. "Ohhhhh. Crap."

That was ten minutes ago and the pair was now flying over the city searching for any sign of her and Naga. "This is hopeless bud. Chances are she's back at the island." Turning his dragon, Hiccup looked at city hall to see a white dog walking towards it. "Okay, looks like we found her." he said diving down.

Landing beside the polar bear dig he saw a figure make its way towards city hall, "Stay here bud." he said as he ran after the figure.

(Line)

Hiccup darted around the side of the building to see no trace of anyone, How? he wondered. A creaking from a window above caught his attention. Using airbending he lifted himself onto the ledge. "-so you car here to threaten me with your bending. This just shows that Amon was right about you. Your just proving him right." Tarrlock, "At least I'm not rounding up innocent people and shipping them off. Face it Tarrlock, your no better than Amon." Hiccup's eyes went wide, Oh crap. Hiccup thought. Looking inside he saw Tarrlock waterbend the waterfall behind him and swipe the desk at Korra, who in turn earthbent a wall in order to defend herself, No one goes after my girlfriend! Hiccup thought as he kept in and shot fireballs at Tarrlock, who bent water in front of him to extinguish the flames.

Landing beside Korra she launched the wall at the councilman, "What are you doing here!" she yelled, before he could reply, Tarrlock sent a storm of ice shards at them, "Less chit chat, more combat!" he held, blocking the shards with his gauntlets. Korra punched through them as they came at her, after several shards where thrown, Kirra saw a opening and fire bent a flaming wheel at him, locking him into the wall. Once the attack ceased, Hiccup shot four cables at the wall around Tarrlock and slingshoted himself into him, sending them both through the wall. Hiccup couldn't help grinning, DAMN I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO THAT FOR SOOOO LONG! he thought as the man tumbled over the railing. Korra jumped through the how in the wall and looked down to see the man slowly getting up.

"Tarrlock, I hereby place you under arrest for assault, do you have any last words?" Hiccup said, getting his cuffs ready. He expected a witty remark, not Tarrlock raising his hands and his muscles all cramp, falling to his knees, Hiccup let out a cry of pain, he could also hear Korra but couldn't focus. As he was repeatedly slammed against the floor, his vision began to blur. After his body stopped hitting marble, he felt someone drag him across the ground. The last thing he remembered was being thrown into a van.

AN: And we got three more to go! I'd like to thank you all for reading my story and I appreciate all the likes and favorites I've been getting. Thank you all. And btw, how was the speech?
