Chapter 12: The dark one

Before Mako could even blink Jason whipped out a stream of water from one of his pouches and hurled Mako into a wall. Before Mako could get off the wall water quickly froze around him trapping him on the wall.

" Is he that arrogant or just that stupid that he would come all the way here to try and arrest us".

"Well I've known Mako for a while, he isn't arrogant".

"Korra I'm not here to arrest you, I came here with Tenzin to tell you what's really going on in republic city".

"Really where's Tenzin?".

"Korra , Jason . The Lieut. told me what happened here. I'm glad you're both all right". Tenzin said as he walked into the courtyard.

"Tenzin" Korra came over and hugged him while Mako watched. "Are you gonna let me down?".

"Tenzin did he accompany you here?".

Tenzin saw Mako frozen against the wall " oh right sorry Mako , he's with me".

"Now will you let me down". Jason unfroze most of the ice except for a small patch around Mako's feet and made him face plant on the ground.

"Oops my bad sorry".

"Tenzin he said he found out what's happening in republic city".

"that's right but I think I should explain this to everyone".

A few minutes later while Mako was walking to the room where the others were when he saw an Imperial guardsmen standing in his way. When he tried to walk around him the guardsmen moved and blocked his path.

"Excuse me I'm trying to get to the meeting room".

Suddenly Mako was hurled against the wall by a strong arm. Jason was standing in front of them holding Mako against the wall. "Sgt you can leave now". The guardsmen left the hallway.

"Jason I told you I".

"Just shut up, you may have the others convinced that you're on our side now but you betrayed Korra twice now".

"Look I".

"I said shut up! like I said you might have the others convinced but I'm never going to take my eyes off you. If I even sent us that this is some kind of ruse, that you are trying to hurt Korra. I won't waste any time taking you out and that's not a threat it's a promise. Got it?"

"yes". Jason let Mako down and the two walked into the meeting room.

Jason sat down next to Korra while Mako sat down next to Tenzin. Korra noticed Mako seemed a little shook up.

"Hey Jason is it me or does Mako look a little afraid?".

"I won't lie to you, I threatened him in the hallway".

"You've threatened him?".

"I just wanted him to know what would happen if he tries to hurt you again".

"Aww that's so sweet of you". Korra kissed the side of Jason's cheek.

"All right Tenzin let's hear what's going on" Ursa said.

"Right, A few days ago Mako and Lin got some answers out of a corrupt police Captain. He fessed up what Raiko is doing. The fool is bribing politicians and lawmakers to try and change the law so he can stay in office longer".

"What!?".

" Yes he is abusing his authority to further his own goals and keep his power".

"This goes against everything that the United Republic stands for" Zuko said.

"I don't get it why did Raiko try to capture the spirits and then arrest us".

"According to captain Talron someone powerful is helping him they wanted spirits and the avatar".

Zuko and Mai's eyes widened when they heard what Mako said.

"Mom, Dad are you guys are right?".

"this explains the dark Benders attacking us here".

"My lord you know who this mystery person is?".

"Yes , many years ago when Yakone was arrested we started to wonder where he acquired his ability to blood bend at will. It was then we remembered combustion man and we realized that they've both had a unique form of dark bending. That was when we remembered something that happened when we were younger".

"What was that?".

"Just before we founded Republic city team Avatar was exploring the areas where republic city would go. As we searched for the best place to put the capital we found spirits who had been seriously hurt. Aang determined that their life force had been taken from them".

"Life force stolen. That's horrible!".

"We searched around to try and find what did it. It took us over a week before we could find her".

"Her?".

"The daughter of Vaatu".

"Daughter of Vaatu?".

"Her name is Zatuel. We didn't know she was Vaatu's daughter at the time. She looked like a human possessed by a dark spirit. Aang tried to help her but she revealed who she was. After that we tried to restrain her so Aang could take away her bending. It was then we realized her true power, she could drain the life force of spirits and use it to increase her own power".

"Although we couldn't defeat her we did manage to force her away from the area. For some time we thought she would be gone for good. That was until Yakone was arrested and we realized she must have given him his ability to bloodbend and combustion man his mind firebending. Apparently she wanted combustion man to kill the avatar and Yakone to retake the land from us".

"That actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it" Korra said.

"After Yakone was arrested we went looking for for Zatuel and found her. It was two weeks before we found her on an island outside the United Republic. Once again we battled her but this time Aang was able to take her bending away. Or so we thought".

"She's the only one who could be behind this she obviously gave those men who attacked us their dark bending".

"If she finds out we know about her then she'll get Raiko to mobilize everything he has against us" Korra said.

"She won't stop until she reclaims her father's lost power which mean's everyone in republic city is in grave danger".

"Oh no my family!" Tenzin said.

"Zatuel won't stop there, every member of the old team avatar is in danger. We need to bring them here now".

Two days passed since Zuko and Mai told the others about Zatuel. Since then Tenzin's family, Bolin, Asami, Korra's parents, Katara , Toph, Lin, and Sao had arrived.

Korra was walking with her mother down one of the hallways in the palace. "So Korra you really like your new boyfriend don't you".

"Mom I know we've only been together a few months but I think I might be in love".

"Well It didn't take me long to figure out I loved your father , plus I was around your age when we first met".

"I don't know if we're at that stage yet mom, but who knows maybe someday we will".

Elsewhere Jason was with Korra's father. "Korra tell's me you were once a general in the northern water tribe army".

"That's right and you're a military man yourself".

" What can I say I love to serve the people".

"I like that in a person son, you just might be good enough for my daughter".

"It's nice to hear that from you. Korra is definitely the best thing that's ever happened to me".

"are you saying you're in love with my daughter".

"Promise you won't attack me".

"Maybe".

"I am". The two had reached the meeting room where Tenzin, Zuko, Korra, Iroh, and Katara were waiting.

"Jason, Tonraq there you are".

"Good to see you all here are we ready to start discussing a course of action?".

"We're still waiting for the Bei Fongs".

that was when another door opened and 3 people walked in.

"I told you mom I didn't want kids!" Lin shouted. Beside her was a tall and muscular man with graying black hair and green eyes and an old woman with short gray hair and whitish eyes.

"Well Lin it was a good thing your brother had some common sense or our family line would end with you" the old woman said.

"Lin I'm sure he would've made of fine mother" The man said.

"Sao being around your brats is the exact reason I didn't want kids".

Katara sighed "Toph can we discuss your family issues later and get to the topic on hand".

"Right". Toph and her kids sat down at the table .

"Alright we know Zatuel has returned and that clearly her power was not completely taken from her. Now we need to ask what do we do about it?" Katara said.

"According to some contacts I still have in the United forces Raiko is preparing to declare martial law to secure his position. But I'm guessing Zatuel is forcing him to. If this is true will need to launch a military assault to retake the city".

"I have informed the earthquake she's agreed to allow me to take a small Army to support the fire nation in a joint operation to liberate Republic city".

"Well if it is necessary then I will authorize a military task force to join you on men to retake the Republic capital".

"Plus the soldiers from the south I'll be bringing will have three nations joining together to free the United Republic".

"Your Majesty, I served three years in the United forces I believe I could be a valuable asset in fighting them" Jason said.

"I could use him to lead the special forces mother" Iroh said.

"Very well Capt. you may take part in the assault".

"So while the bulk of our forces keep the United forces at bay Lin, Mako, Asami, and Bolin will try and immobilize the police department and stop them from backing up Raiko's men" Toph said.

"While that is happening Tenzin and I will try to find Raiko and Zatuel".

"Will need to do further planning but that is the overall idea".

"Before you face Zatuel we need to tell you how to fight her" Katara said.

"She was one of the most dangerous enemies we ever faced, do not take her lightly" Toph said. Just then Bumi rushed into the room trying to catch his breath.

"I'm so sorry I was late".

"It's all right Bumi the assault hasn't been thoroughly planned yet, you , me, Tonraq, Sao, and Admiral Young are going to go over that in an hour".

"Oh good, sorry for interrupting".

later that night Korra was with Katara in her room. "Katar can ask you something?".

"Anything dear".

"Ever since I lost my connections with the last avatar I felt incomplete. Like a part of me was missing. But whenever I'm around Jason it's like I can feel a part of me coming back. You were there when Aang saved his life. I think what he did to him has something to do with this".

"Korra, I thought about Jason for a long time. Aang was never that sure what he did to Jason to save him. But I think that because Aang gave him his bending that a part of Aang lives inside of Jason".

That was it, Korra realized why she felt so complete around Jason. "It all makes sense now, why always felt such a sensation around him". At that moment course started to feel an uneasiness inside her. What if she didn't love him, just the part of him that was Aang.

"This is certainly giving me a lot to think about".

"Korra I know what you're thinking, you are wondering if you love him or what's inside of him. I haven't seen you two together long but I can tell you that your love is just as true as the love Aang and I had".

"You really think so Katara".

"I know so dear".


Well there's more to come , I told you i'd come back to this story
