Chapter 13 Revolution vs Empire

Air Temple Island

It was all quiet. Rex had woken up to find a sleeping Korra on top of him. He grinned at the sight. He closed his eyes trying to get some more shut eye, but Korra began to move and she woke up.

"Sorry if I woke you." "Don't be. I like sleeping next to you." said Korra as they shared their morning kiss.

They suddenly heard foot steps coming from outside the door. A few voices could be heard, all of them belonged to Ginora, Ikki, Meelo, and of course Bobo. The couples eyes widen at the thought of their friends and Bobo finding them like this. Korra and Rex jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. Rex opened the window to make their escape. Korra went first since she wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Rex was about to go too, but he heard a knock on the door.

"Hey Rex wake up! The boys in blue got a couple of EVOs and they want you to take care of them! Did you hear me?" teller Bobo as he knocked on the door.

"Maybe he is still asleep?" suggested Ikki. "Or maybe Korra is with him?" added Ikki gaining a devious smile from Bobo.

Bobo then pulled out his camera and gave it to Ikki.

"Okay kids we are going to make his day miserable so make as much damage as you can." said Bobo in a whisper.

"I do not plan on being part of your sick version of a prank Mr. Haha and neither will my brother nor sister." spoke Ginora with a straight face and a disapproving tone.

"Well suit yourself girly." said Bobo as he busted down the door with his twin laser guns.

Bobo then proceeded to make a mess of the room before realizing that the victims of his rampage were not in the room. Sadly the room was filled with laser burns and holes all over the place.

Suddenly Bobo heard loud shoe tapping behind the children. He slowly turned to see a furious Pema holding her baby with a huge tick mark on her forehead. Bobo then quickly placed his guns behind him and smiled.

"Would you believe that there was an EVO here and I was just trying to scare it away." said Bobo with sweat running down his forehead.

Rex and Korra meanwhile were hiding outside the dinning room with Naga.

"Do you think it's safe to go have breakfast?" asked Rex

"Only if we hear angry or disappointed screams out of Bobo." responded Korra

As the young heroes started walking to have some breakfast they heard a sound that was completely unknown to them. It sounded like a little girl was running for her life from what they could only guess was either a giant Moose lion or an angry Gorilla bison. As they got to have a filling breakfast the same screaming seemed to be getting closer and closer until the door busted open to show a running Bobo as the source of the first noise. He got right behind Rex trying to use him as a hiding spot or a defense.

"Bobo what is wrong with you?" "THIS IS YOU'RE FAULT KID! YOU MADE HER SNAPP." "Her?"

As in cue Pema came out grinding her teeth and weirdly making sparks out of it. As she walked she left marks of her footprints. She was going straight at Bobo. Rex, Korra, Bobo and everyone else were terrified.

"Young man if you wish to have a roof over your head tonight you will get that chimp to fix the room he busted." was all Pema said as she tried to calm down.

"I swear." "WE swear." completed Korra.

"Alright then." said Pema as she walked out only to turn and make the 'I am watching you' sign to Bobo who shrunk even more.

"Please don't leave me with her." begged Bobo.

Korra and Rex laughed at Bobo's fear as they both got up and went to fix the room until the phone sounded. Tenzin answered the phone and suddenly he had a confused and rushed expression on his face. He then turned towards Rex and Korra.

"Rex Korra come with me now." "What is it Tenzin?" "It was president Raiko they have captured Verric's old assistant as she crossed the border. They have her at the police station." "Let's go." said Rex.

Republic city Police station

Everyone got to the police station rather quickly since Rex used the Boogie pack to get both Korra and Bobo while Tenzin used his sky bison. They entered and saw Lin and her family, Mako, Prince Wu and a crying Bolin for some reason.

"Glad you could make it here in time." said Lin

"We got here as fast as we could. What has she said?" asked Tenzin

"Not much she said she would only speak when Korra and Rex got here she wants to speak with you two first." answered Lin.

With that said Korra and Rex went into the interrogation room. They sat at the opposite end of the table and Yu-Lee began to talk.

"Thank you for meeting me. It is of great importance that we talk." "Why did you come here?" "I had to escape from Kuvira and warn the United Nations. Kuvira's weapon is almost complete she plans to take the rest of the Earth Kingdom." "But wasn't Zaofu the last part of the Earth Kingdom?" "To her the last part is the United Nations. She will be here in five days a week at most." explained Yu-Lee.

With the news Rex could only think of another question to ask.

"Why did you want to talk to me? I understand why you would talk to Korra, but why me?" "Because you are the key to stop Kuvira's weapon."

"WHAT!?" said everyone as Rex and Korra finished telling them the new information.

"Why would Rex be the key to stop Kuvira?" asked Mako

"Because Mr. Bodyguard Rex here can cure EVOs and deactivate nannites." explained Bobo with a smug attitude.

"Wait, what?" asked Opal "Do you still have dose EVOs you needed help with?" asked Bobo

Lin lead the group to a really beaten up cell with metal benders holding it back. Lin gave her officers the order to open it and suddenly a huge black lizard monster sprang out. Everyone took a step back while Rex only put out his hand and activated his nannites. The classic techno blue lines appeared on both Rex's arm and on the lizard. Slowly the monster began to transform into a regular cat by the time Rex was finished. Everyone, mainly Lin, Tenzin, and Bolin, were left speechless. The next two Evos were a giant worm with arms and a giant spider like monster with a human face. Rex quickly used his Fun chucks to knock these EVOs out and then began to do the same as he did to the previous EVO.

The other two EVOs turned into a normal size worm and the spider turned into a spider hamster. Rex walked out with a satisfactory grin and everyone followed. Tenzin and Korra went to tell Raiko the news Lin's family went on their normal rounds. Opal meanwhile went back to the temple leaving Rex and Bobo with a downed Bolin.

"Okay, what is wrong with you?" "Opal hates me." "Come on, she doesn't hate you." "Yes she does." "Have you tried anything to get her back in a good mood?" "I have tried many things. Like when I sent Pabu with a fake letter saying that I got kidnapped. Then I threw a rock at her window and accidentally broke it. And I also tried surprising her by pretending to be a spirit." with all that said Rex and Bobo couldn't help but sweat drop.

"Maybe you should just try to apologize to Opal directly. I mean besides all that what did you do wrong?" "I left my family and friends to join up with a psychotic dictator that threw me in prison and I came back to Republic city with my tail between my legs."

Rex and Bobo could think of many things about Bolin most of them were 'idiot, moron, f #k up, brainless clown, and did you hit your head when you were little'. But Rex had been there with Circe. She had joined with Van Kleiss because she believed that he was doing the right thing. Too bad Opal had no idea that Bolin was the kind of guy that would follow the wrong guy believing that he is a saint until he saw his or, in this case, true colors.

"Listen Bolin just try to expiate that you now know that what Kuvira was doing is wrong and try to be sincere." said Rex.

Meanwhile

Korra was walking to meet up with Rex and Bobo when Opal came to her.

"Hey Korra, you got a second?" "Yeah I was just going to get Rex to fix Bobo's screw up. What's up?" "Well, you know that Bolin and I haven't exactly been seeming eye to eye. But he has been trying to prove himself to me and get my forgiveness. So since you have more experience in the dating and the guy department than me I wanted to ask for your advice." "Are you sure I'm the right person for this?" "Well my parents have said that I should forgive him a little, but my aunt has said that I should break up with him. So yes please help me." "Well walk with me. Let me tell you a story. This is the story of a girl Rex cared about back in his world." "Korra wait you don't have to tell me about Rex's ex if its uncomfortable." "Relax I heave gotten past it. Well she was an EVO like Rex and you have seen what most people do when they see an EVO. She decided to join this group of evil EVOs called The Pack. Their leader was a man named Van Kleiss who was a power hungry psycho. He accepted her into his group all to lure Rex to him all just to gain power. She believed that she was doing the right thing, but Rex ,like you, knew better. It wasn't until she saw Van Kleiss' true colors that she saw that for him everyone was just a means to an end. She then left." finished Korra telling the story.

Opal was awestruck. She thought that Rex's world was amazing but knowing that there are people like Kuvira there helped her realize how did Rex got so good at this.

"Wow, so you are saying that Bolin is like this girl right?"

"Yes, so please throw Bolin a bone or something."

Just as they were walking Rex showed up with the Rex rider and a tied up Bobo.

"What happened?" asked Korra "Bolin kind of nearly made Bobo snap." responded Rex "Opal listen, Bolin is completely miserable please help him. For his sake."

"Is he really that depressed?" asked Korra

"No. Bobo is just this close to build the first atomic bomb just to shut him up." said Rex "Look I know it is not my place but let me tell you a story."

"Relax, Korra already told me. I'll talk to Bolin. Thank you both for your help." with that said Opal took off.

"Well ready to fix your room?" "Yep I will sleep for ever."
