Chapter 13

I always loved sleep. Sleep is the best thing in the world. And is so awful when somebody wakes you up. But the problem is that it wasn't just somebody. There were many. On the seats and in the middle of the arena. Why didn't I woke up earlier? I didn't want to imagine what was outside. But what for? What was this? It was even a stage there? What the- like a concert or what?

Chi-blockers everywhere. An equalist meeting. I stayed as stealth as I could. At one point I even realized that I wasn't breathing anymore. I was feeling this huge pressure and fear. I mean those people were equalists. Simply humans yes, but they were many!

Smoke started to come from the scene direction and a figure appeared in the middle of it. Amon.

The crowd started to cheer and applaud. Pff, like he's a hero or something.

"Thank you all for joining me on this historic occasion." I am here by accident.

"When I was a boy a firebender struck down my entire family and left me scarred. That tragic event began my quest to equalize the world." What a heartbreaking speech. Yea so? My mom was killed by a firebender too and I'm not trying to get rid of benders. And Mako and Bolin's parents. It was something dirty in here.

"That's a lie, Amon." My head automatically turned into the voice direction. And what I saw… Korra? What was she doing here? And Mako? I thought they were on the island. So I wasn't alone huh? But still, I decided to stay quiet.

"Or should I call you "Noatak"?" Noatak? What was she talking about?

"Everyone, calm down. We have nothing to fear from the Avatar. Let's hear what she has to say." Yea! I want to know too.

"Amon has been lying to you." Good start Korra. "The spirits didn't give him the power to take people's bending away. He uses bloodbending to do it. Amon is a waterbender." Bloodbending? Wterbending? I knew for sure that Korra wouldn't lie on such a subject.

So when he chased me, he used bloodbending to make my moves be all wrong. Amon was a liar!

"You're desperate, Avatar. Making up stories about me is a pathetic last resort."

"Your family wasn't killed by a firebender. His father was Yakone and his brother is councilman Tarrlok." Well, never heard of Yakone and Tarrlok, but apparently everyone knew who they were cause the crowd started murmuring. Korra wanted to turn his people against him. Good plan. But I still prefer a fight.

"An amusing tale. But I will show you the truth." And he took off his mask. He was scarred. A big and ugly scar. So everyone, including me gasped.

"This is what a firebender did to me". And then he put his mask back.

"The Avatar is lying!" Oh joy. Now everyone thought Korra was a liar.

"I'm telling you he's a waterbender!" She was still trying to make her point.

I could see her and Mako. They wanted to leave, but Amon's icy voice stopped them.

"I wouldn't leave yet Avatar. You'll miss the main event." Main event?

Some kind of platform with four pillars started to rise from the scene. And from those pillars were tied up Tenzin and the kids. I wanted to throw up. No, no, no! They got away. How! Why!? That's why Lin was captured? Why didn't I realized this before? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I had to do something!

"Enough Amon!" My deadly voice silenced the crowd. Everyone was looking at me. Even Korra and Mako. I believe they were confused. They didn't recognized me.

"And who are you?" The lieutenant asked me.

"Lieutenant I would have believed that you would recognize, your worst nightmare." Amon still didn't realized who I was. I took of my scarf and they all gasped. Of course they knew me, I even heard it: 'She is Commander's Bumi daughter.'

"Tonight, I'll rid the world of airbending...Forever." That forever was so… full of venom. And he looked at me when he said it. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to make myself visible.

"Amon, let them go." Yea Korra, like he would.

"You're welcome to come down here and try to stop me." I wasn't sure to whom he addressed to. Bu it wasn't important. I will honour this invitation.

"The Avatar needs to be reminded of the power I possess." And you should be reminded of the power I posses. But the bad thing is, that he started approaching the kids. Mako shot a lighting, which made Amon to fly a few meters.

I couldn't control myself. If he thought he'll touch my family again he was dead wrong.

Air spirals were always good. You could use them anytime. So that's what I did. In the exact same moment Korra and Mako, using firebending started to run on the wall. The crowd was scared and started to head for the exits. Good, cause this will be some fight if he doesn't free them.

The stage was pretty big and full of chi-blockers. While me and Mako were keeping them away, Korra was realising Tenzin and my cousins.

"Where are Pema and the baby?"

"In prison." Fear was written all over his face.

After Tenzin was free, he joined me and Mako in our fight. It was useless, Amon was dodging our every move. But Tenzin managed to get him off of the stage. Well, good job uncle.

Then we all hurried into a hall. The kids needed to be taken somewhere safe.

"Get them out of here. We'll create a diversion."

"Let's go get your mother and the baby."

"Prison break!" I couldn't help but chuckle at Meelo's excitement. Good job enlightening the mood kid!

A few moments later Amon opened a door and started coming towards us.

"Mako, listen to me. Get Korra somewhere safe. I'll slow him."

"We won't leave you behind."

"Well we don't really have time to talk right now. GO!"

"To slow him?...You mean?..."
"Just go already!"

…

"What a noble act. Trying to protect your friend, the avatar. Too bad that they can't get out of the Arena without passing by me. In this hall."

"Let's see you big guy."

He struck for me, but I threw a fist of fire at him and escape. It was the third meeting with him. I learned a few of his moves. He, again, tried to catch me, but I was light on my feet, just like an airbender.

"I'm tired of playing with you." Playing with me? I was just warming myself. A moment of distraction and he hit me with his leg in my stomach. He sent me right into the wall. Ouch.

"Hm-hm. Where is you the courage now?" I am brave, just dizzy.

"Well maybe I should start with you." Start with me, what was he talking about? My question was about to be answered. When I saw his thumb, all my instincts kicked in. I jumped on my feet, Threw some fire at him, then ran. And ran faster. I'm sorry Korra.

I think I ran a few hundred meters when I slowed down. What have I done? I just left Korra and Mako in a maniac's hands. My conscience and my heart were telling me to go back, but my mind was telling me to get out of here, safe. And then in a moment of lucidity I thought about what my grandpa would do. What Aang would do?

…

I was running even faster now, hoping that he didn't hurt them. And I think I heard the most significant word.

"Noo!" out of Korra's mouth. I opened the doors. And almost fell down on my knees. He had his thumb firmly placed on her forehead, while Mako was down and couldn't move.

And them the same word erupted from my lips.

"Noo! Amon you, you…"

While Korra fell on the ground he chuckled. "Me what?"

Tenzin always told me that you have to keep you mind clear when fighting. And that combined with fury and desperation became deadly in my hands. Mako couldn't stay like that too long.

I jumped into Amon's direction, but he stopped me in mid-air. The sensation was horrible. I couldn't move my own hands and feet. He was practically bending them. The pain it was immense.

"You are a coward, Amon. You use this against us because you don't dare too face us into a real fight!"

"I should have ended you long ago."

"Yea but you didn't. You are weak." This plan was a last resort. Make him feel bad about himself. This should darken his mind.

"You are a fool!" I am not a fool.

"Amon!" A deep voice shouted behind me.

"Everything the Avatar said is true, isn't it? I just saw you bloodbend her. You traitor. I dedicated my life to you." Oh, the lieutenant. Glad you opened your eyes.

He started running towards Amon, but he did to him exactly what he did to me.

"You served me well Lieutenant." And he threw him into a wall. I hoped that this would make him drop us, no chance. We were doomed. I will lose my bending today.

He started to go towards Mako.

"Leave him alone!" But he didn't care about my pathetic attempt to stop him. We were helpless.

Only that Mako, somehow managed to strike a lightning at him. Good, Mako. Amon was thrown into a wall and he dropped me. Then we served him some fire punches.

"Mako, get Korra, let's get out of here."

He was running slowly than usual with Korra in his arms. I was behind them thanking to every entity I knew that we escaped.

We had to run. We had to get out. We've been through too much.
