Book One Fade Chapter Fourteen: Avatar Abducted and a New Bender
Ren paced back, and fourth. She had to think of a better plan. She needed to get those benders out, but she didn't even know where they were. How would her past lives handle this. I need to talk to one of them, or I will never know what to do she thought to herself. Ren ran to the pavilion, and sat in the lotus position, and tried to connect with one of her past live. She saw Korra.
"Korra, I need your help. I don't know what to do," Ren said.
"Ren, but you do know," Korra said.
"No I don't. They killed Lord Zuko, and hurt Toph. They are taking firebenders, and earthbenders. Please help me," Ren said.
" Kuvira may be of assistance to you. She did do the same thing," Korra said.
" Thank you so much Korra," Ren said.
"Their coming for you very soon Ren," Korra said before she left.
Ren looked around, and realized she was back at the pavilion. Who's coming for me, and when she thought to herself. She wondered if Jun, and Hyun would try to come for her, then she dared them. She was ready. She then ran to the last place she saw Kuvira, which was Toph's healing room. When she entered the room everyone looked at her.
" Kuvira, I have a really important question," Ren said.
"What is it?" Kuvira asked.
"Can you help me find the missing benders?" Ren asked.
"How can I help you?" Kuvira asked.
"Korra said you could be of some assistance since you did do the same thing with putting people in camps," Ren said.
Kuvira thought about it for a moment. Ren did have a valid point. Kuvira did put people in camps and, Ren knew how to bend platinum. That was most likely what the camps were built of. Ren was teaching everyone how to platinum bend, but she was the best hope for those the firebender along with the earthbenders.
"Please Kuvira, I really need help," Ren said.
"I will help you," Kuvira said.
Kuvira, Baatar, and Ren walked on the beach. Ren ran to the water, and started to bend it up, and froze it. She then ran up her frozen creation, and laughed. Kuvira, and Baatar laughed as well. Ren had asked them to explain the story down at the beach, because she loved the beach, and she thought it would bring up old wounds for everyone else. She that began to bend the sand, and made a sand castle.
"Want to try the slide?" Ren asked.
" No thanks. Come on I'll explain the camps to you," Kuvira said.
"Okay," Ren said running over to Kuvira, and Baatar.
"Alright, so when I was the Great Uniter I called my camps reeducation camps. I put people who refused to pledge their loyalty to me into those camps. I also put people who weren't earthbenders in these camps. Ren these camps were very harsh. The food was given in small portions. I made these people fear me," Kuvira said.
"How was the prison built, like what was it made of, and stuff like that?" Ren asked.
"Well since I put earthbenders in if they didn't agree to join me I made it out of platinum. I put two people per cell, and the prison was built into a giant square. During the day all the prisoners sat out, and at night they were in their cells. If they disobeyed they would go to a room by themselves. Ren, this is not a camp people wanted to go to, so when I took over the towns the earthbenders usually agreed. If these camps are anything like the ones I made you are those benders only hope," Kuvira said
"Thank you so much I have what I need," Ren said
Ren ran up the stairs, and looked around, something didn't feel right. She didn't know what it was, but something was wrong. She looked up just in time to see a gust of wind heading toward her. She dodged it, and made a whirlwind trying to pull whoever was attacking her in. She thought maybe it was a training exercise until she saw Hyun caught in her whirlwind.
"What the flameo is going on out here?" Lin asked.
"Hyun, and Jun got the message," Ren said.
" How did they find us?" Jinora asked.
"Not important right now," Iroh said noticing that Jun, Kaito, and Siku had not joined him.
"I think we can take four people. Get non-benders, Toph, and great Gran- Gran away from this area," Ren said.
Ren, and Kya took the water from the fountain, and pulled Hyun to the ground. Ren then pulled a pillar from the temple, and started to kick pieces of it toward Jun . Kaito then took water, and formed four tentacles.
"Oh cool, how does he do that?" Ren asked.
"Not a good thing Ren," Bolin said.
"Not for him," Ren said.
Ren began to charge her lighting, and Kaito just looked at her. She shot it straight at one of the tentacles, and Kaito dropped. Ren smirked. She was relived that they were actually winning this time. Lin, and Bolin shot boulders at Hyun which he easily dodged the whole time. Siku distracted everyone, but Opal, Jinora, and Ren.
"Jun, why don't you guy just give up now?" Ren asked.
"We will when our cause is complete," Jun said.
"Every Avatar in the past has restored balance before. What makes me any different?" Ren asked.
"Your just a child, and don't have all your past lives. Everyone knows Korra lost connection with her past lives," Jun said.
"Think again. I can speak with Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, and even Avatar Wan. After Korra restored balance within herself she regained connection with her past live, our past live," Ren said.
Ren the sent a blast of fire at Jun, and a boulder as an extra attack. Jun had two water whips, and grabbed Opal, and slammed her into Jinora. She then slammed them both into the wall. It was now Ren against Jun. Ren sent an air blast, and knock Jun back, but she quickly recovered. Jun sent ice spikes at Ren, which she easily melted. Ren then used the water to make a frozen ramp, and Jun unfroze it as Ren reached the top making her crash to the ground. Ren hit her head, and fell unconscious.
"Let's go. I got the Avatar," Jun said, picking Ren up.
"What about Kaito?" Siku asked.
"Leave him," Hyun said taking Ren, and opening a glider, and flying away.
Kya, Lin, Su, and Kuvira all tried to grab the glider, but missed. All anyone could do now was watch as they took Ren, and try to save her. They noticed that they left someone behind. They were going to use him. He was going to tell them everything. Jinora finally got up, and noticed that Ren wasn't there. Her worse fear had come true. They had taken her. Kaito had been tied up, and would be interrogated when he woke up if he did.
"What if he does wake up, then we're wasting time we could be looking for Ren?" Opal asked.
"He will wake up," Tenzin said.
"How do we know?" Kai asked.
"Guys just be quiet. I don't think this is helping anything," Mako said.
Suddenly they heard Kaito make some mumbling noises. They all turned toward him. Kai first instinct told him to punch him. "That's for them taking my daughter," He said
"Kai, that's not the way to do this," Tenzin said.
"Tenzin, they are going to probably kill Ren, and he doesn't care. Punching him is the least of what this guy deserves," Iroh said.
"There going to do what to Ren?" Lee said.
Everyone turned around, and saw Lee. He had heard everything Iroh had just said. He was suppose to be inside, Jinora thought. "Nothing Lee. Ren's going to be just fine," She said. She knew she was giving him hope that way.
"Uncle Iroh just said they were probably gonna kill her," Lee said.
"Ren is the Avatar kid. She will rescue herself," Lin said.
"Tell me where she is," Lee said.
"You don't scare me little boy," Kaito said.
"Hope, come," Lee said.
"Who's Hope?" Kaito asked.
Soon Hope was beside Lee, and they walked up to Kaito. "You see this is Hope. She is my sister's spirit animal, and it's her lunch time. I'm sure she will gladly make an exception to her usual meal to get Ren back," Lee said as Hope growled.
"Oh that kid is good," Toph said.
"I'm not saying a word," Kaito said.
"Just tell me," Lee said about to punch Kaito before a blast of air came out.
"He's an airbender," Kai said.
"I can airbend, oh this will be fun," Lee said.
"Oh no, this isn't going to end well," Su said.
Suddenly Pema ran out with the radio. "It's making that static noise again," She said.
"Hello we would like to make an announcement to the world. The people who killed Lord Zuko have captured the Avatar," Jun said. Suddenly there was a muffle then some more noises "Mom, I want you to find the next Avatar, and train them. I can't bend. I don't know why. I love you guys," Ren said. The muffled noise started again. "Master Jinora, can you save your daughter before it's to late," Hyun said.
"Their going to kill her Kai. She's going to die. she can't bend," Jinora said panicking.
"No their not mom," Lee said.
"Lee, you don't understand these things," Su said.
"Hope, get him," Lee said.
Hope was right in front of Kaito's face "Okay I'll tell you," he said. Hope stopped instantly.
"Good, " Lee said.
"You're good kid," Lin said.
"Thanks, but Ren's my twin. I don't know what I'd do without her," Lee said.
"How did Hyun know you were a master Jinora? I mean he called you Master Jinora as if he lived here," Bolin asked.
"Why didn't I realize it before. Hyun lived on Air Temple Island. He was one of the new airbenders we brought back after harmonic convergence," Jinora said.
"Why did he leave?" Mako asked.
" He didn't agree with our way of handling Kuvira," Tenzin said.
They all turned to Kaito "Tell us everything," Su said.
"The building they are holding the Avatar in is under the old Train Station. No one goes there so it's the perfect place. When we built it we made it, so no one could find us, just like the camps. They are underground, and connected to the main building. It's made of platinum, so I don't know how you'll get in, and out. They have water with something in it. They are going to make her drink it. She will go unconscious instantly, and I have no clue how long she has before she will die," Kaito said,
"Uncle Kaito, even though I have stopped considering you as family what you just did was a good thing," Sky said.
Everyone prepared for what was about to happen. They came up with two plans incase one would fail. Lee convinced them to take him with. He said that they didn't know he could bend, so he was of great use. They also took Hope to help attack, and grab Ren. They arrived at the train station, and Lin, and Su began to earthbend one way while Kuvira, and Bolin went the other way.
"This way, we found platinum walls!" Lin yelled.
"Is your platinum bending good enough to get through it. Ren's only been training you guys for a year?" Bolin asked.
" Ren's life is in danger. I think that's a good motivator," Su said.
Lin, Su, Wing, Wei, and Kuvira began to put all of their strength into bending the platinum. The wall started to slowly move, and then moved all at once. they were relieved that they had moved that giant wall. The group ran into the building, and saw a hallway with a closed door, and a keypad.
"We had those on all the important doors," Kuvira explained.
"Well then that's where were going," Lin said.
Asami took her glove, and shorted out the keypad. "That might help," she said.
Lin mental bent the door open, and looked around. The first thing they saw was Ren with her arms chained to the wall. They then saw a bowl of water next to her, and Jun, Hyun, and Siku . " Oh I've never been happier to see your guys faces in my life," Ren said.
"Take them out while I give the brat this drink," Jun said.
"Whatever you do don't let her give Ren that drink, and Ren sweetheart do not open your mouth," Kai said.
Hyun sent an air blast at the group which Jinora countered by sending one back. Siku used the water from the fountain they had in the room for display. Mako used the idea he saw Ren use an bended lightning at the water right for the water, and watched Siku drop. Su then bent the platinum from the wall, and trapped Hyun.
"Drink up you brat," Jun said prying Ren's mouth open, and pouring the water in.
Ren fell unconscious instantly, just as Kaito said she would. Tenzin air blasted Jun back, and Lin bent her to the wall with platinum. Wing bent the chains off of Ren's wrist, and handed her to Kai. Hope licked Ren's face, and tried to wake her up, with no luck. Kya walked over to Ren, and bent the water out of her with some hope that she would wake up. Everyone looked up as Ren still had not woken up, and knew they had to get her back to Air Temple Island to see Katara.
"What about them?" Mako asked.
"They aren't going anywhere," Su said.
"Good luck trying to save the Avatar," Hyun said.
Hope walked over to him, and roared in his face. Hyun tried to move but failed. Everyone quickly ran to the air bison. Ren was connecting with her past lives.
"Ren, the world needs you," Korra said.
"I know but they gave me some drink to kill me," Ren said.
"Zaheer poisoned me, and I stilled lived Ren. It took me a long time to heal, but I still did it. Pain is an illusion that your mind creates to cripple you, just like fear" Korra said.
"Are you saying I'm going to live?" Ren asked.
"You create your own limits Ren, and when you exceed those you show your true potential as the Avatar," Korra said.
Ren suddenly saw Korra save Kuvira from the spirit weapon, and create the third spirit portal. She saw Aang defeat Ozai, and remove his bending during Sozin's comet. She saw Roku bend the lava on the volcano. She then saw Kyoshi create Kyoshi Island. Finally she saw Avatar Wan become the first Avatar, and seal Vatuu in the Tree of Time.
"All these Avatars have exceeded their limits Ren. Now you need to show that you can," Korra said.
Ren opened her eyes and saw she was in one of the healing rooms. She sat up, and looked around. No one was in the room yet. She wanted someone to be here, she missed them. Then she wondered if she could bend. She sent a gust of wind toward the door to open.
"Hello, can anyone hear me, I'm awake," She said.
Everyone walked in, and was relieved to see Ren siting up in bed. " Ren, your alive," Jinora said.
"Was everyone expecting me to die? " Ren asked.
"No I just was scared I would never get to tell you I love you again," Jinora said hugging her.
"Well I love you too mom, but I want to show you something," Ren said.
"What's that?" Jinora asked.
"Korra told me to reach my full potential as the Avatar I must exceed my limits, and I would show everyone I can past their expectations," Ren said.
"So what does that mean Badgermole?" Toph asked.
Ren threw the blankets off, and moved her feet to floor. "Ren .what are you doing your not strong enough for this yet?" Kya asked.
"Yes I am. Korra said I need to push myself, and reach my fullest potential," Ren said.
She tried to get up, and fell to the ground. Kai ran over to her, and tried to help her up. She looked around the room, then pushed him away. "No I can do this," She said. She pushed herself up, a little shaking. She put one foot on the ground, and pushed up, and pulled herself off the ground. She stood there shaking a little.
"Ren, your standing," Pema said.
"I need to be strong for the world," Ren said taking a shaky step.
"She is strong," Katara said.
Ren slowly made her way over to Katara. She fell a little, and Katara caught her before she fell to the ground. "You said that about me before in a past life," Ren said smiling.
"That's because you are," Katara said.
Ren stood up, and looked at everyone. " This is my first step at showing my true potential. I will fight them. I will end this at any cost. It is them, or me. that's how this has to be. They have shown they aren't going to stop," Ren said.
"You don't have to worry about that. Lin, and Su platinum bent them to the building," Mako said.
Lin walked in, and looked at Ren. " Hey kid, good to see your okay, but I have bad news," she said.
"They got out, didn't they?" Ren asked.
"Yes, there were burn marks like they used firebenders ,and a lot of them to melt the metal I'm sorry," Lin said.
"Don't be that was suppose to be my fight, and now it will be," Ren said.
(Author's note: The part where Korra is telling Ren about exceeding limits is a quote I just changed it a bit. Also I wanted at least one attempt on the Avatar's life. Yes Lee is an Airbender I was debating on making him a waterbender like Kya and Katara but changed my mind. Also if you noticed Ren has her past live's afteer Korra I personally didn't like that Korra llost connection with her past lives but as you saw Ren connected with Korra both times.
