Chapter Thirteen- The Final Showdown Part 1
*Aang's Memorial Island: with Korra.*
The Lieutenant drags Korra all the way to Aang's Memorial Island. She is still tired from using the energy on going into the Spirit World.
After an hour of traveling, they finally make it onto Aang's Memorial Island. The Lieutenant brings her inside the statue and throws her onto the floor.
"Ow!" Korra mumbles to herself after being thrown onto the floor. She glares at the Lieutenant and then stands up slowly.
The Lieutenant smirks, "Good luck, Avatar, you'll need it." Then with that, he walks away, leaving the island.
Korra looks around. It's quiet. Too quiet. Korra takes a deep breath and throws her hands in the air, "Alright, Amon, I'm here. Where are you?"
"Right here, Avatar." His voice comes out of nowhere.
Korra jumps at his voice. She spins around and comes face to face with the masked man. She takes a deep breath and stares up at him. "Amon."
"Avatar Korra, glad you could make it." Amon says, smirking under his mask.
She takes a step back and narrows her eyes at him, "I'm here to stop you. Where are my friends' parents? Did you bring them or you lied about bring them?"
"I would never lie, Avatar. I have no reason to lie. I brought them." Amon says, nodding slightly. He then slightly turns his head and calls out, "Come out here."
Suddenly, two Equalists appear beside Amon. Amon nods to them and then turns to Korra, "Korra, this is Mai and Bumi."
Korra nods slowly. She turns to Mai and Bumi and smiles slightly at them, "I'm Korra I'm your-" She begins, but Amon stops her. "Not so fast, Avatar. You and I need to finish some business first."
Amon then turns to Bumi and Mai, "Go wait aside, by the corner and don't make a sound and don't move. Understand?"
They both nod and do what they are told. They take of their Equalist's masks and sit on the floor in the corner of the large room.
Korra clenches her jaw, "We don't need to have a fight. You could stop this all; you have the power to end this war between Benders and Nonbenders."
"This war will end when every last one of you Benders are gone." Amon says darkly and then asks, "Are you ready?"
"Not yet . . ." Korra starts, taking a deep breath. She is going to have to do this. She has to just . . . say it. "I know the truth about you, Amon . . . or should I call you Noatak? "
Amon clenches his jaw under his mask. He stares at Korra for a minute in silence. He then says, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me, Amon." Korra says with a strong voice. "Your name is Noatak, son of Yakone and you're the older brother of Tarrlok. You're also not a nonbender. You are a waterbender . . . you're a bloodbender!"
"You shouldn't be running your mouth like that; it could cost you a lot more trouble." Amon says, shaking his head.
Korra shakes her head, glaring at him, "You're a liar!"
"Am I?" Amon asks as he begins to slowly take of his mask. The deep scar on his face makes Korra's eyes widen. She shakes her head, not believing it.
"No . . . no, you're lying!" Korra yells, shaking her head, shocked, "The Spirits didn't grant you the power to take away someone's bending, you- you use your bloodbending!"
Amon puts his mask back on, shaking his head, "Child, you should give up now while you still have the chance."
"Never." Korra says harshly, standing her ground, eyeing him.
"Fine, but you asked for it, remember that, Avatar." Amon growls and then with that, the battle begins.
Korra kicks up her leg and sends a wave of flames towards him. Amon easily dodges it; stepping aside with his hands behind his back. He is putting no effort into this while she is putting her all.
Korra takes a deep breath, thinking of what the past Avatars told her to do.
She looks over at Mako and Bolin's parents and then she turns back to Amon. She narrows her eyes at him. "Put all your love and power into your bending . . ." Korra thinks to herself.
She opens her eyes and suddenly the ground beneath them shakes. Korra jumps in the air, sending fire from all different directions at Amon. She sees from the corner of her eyes the large buckets of water in the corners of the room. She smirks.
Korra bends the water, turning it into ice shards, and sending them straight at Amon. He was able to dodge the fire and her earthbending, but he, surprisingly, got hit when the ice hit him. Three elements coming at him at once, he was, for once, having trouble dodging all her attacks.
The Avatar closes her eyes and lets her body move on its own. She dodges where Amon throws his punches and kicks. Korra opens her blue eyes and she watches Amon take out a kali stick. She watches his movements carefully now.
"You're the Avatar, Korra, c'mon, you could do this. You're the Avatar and you have all the power." She keeps saying silently to herself.
Amon chuckles darkly, "Come on, Avatar, is that the best you have? I thought this would be more of a fight."
Korra eyes him and then kicks two large rocks at Amon, he dodges that, but when Korra adds quickly a flame of fire, that burns his arm.
He growls and then shakes his head, "I have had enough of you!"
"What?" Korra asks, raising an eyebrow, "Ready to show your true colors?"
"You want me to show my true colors? Fine. I will." Amon says coldly.
Korra goes to waterbend him, but she loses control of the water and suddenly Amon is bending the water in front of her. Mai and Bumi's eyes widen when they see their leader bending.
Korra smirks, "I knew you were a bender. You are a liar, Amon."
"Well," Amon says, now smirking under his mask, "you wanted me to show my true colors, now I will."
However, right before any of them could do anything, Mako's voice comes shouting into the room, "Korra!"
"Mako!" Korra yells, her eyes wide as she looks over to see her friends rushing inside.
Mai's eyebrows knit together at the name. It seems so . . . so familiar. Mai looks up to see a man, whom looks to be of the Fire Nation, standing there. Then, running up behind him is two women and two other men.
Lin glares at Amon, "Get away from the Avatar, Amon."
Mai stares at the Earthbender –Bolin-. He looks so familiar to her, but she can't think of where she has seen him before.
Mai leans over and whispers to her husband, Bumi, "Honey . . . both of those men . . . they- they look so familiar."
"We fought them before; they're friends of the Avatar." Bumi answers, giving his wife a confused look.
Mai shakes her head, "No . . . I-I think I had a dream of them before. Remember a long time ago I was daydreaming and I told you it was of an Earthbender and a Firebender, but I couldn't figure out their names and in my dream, they-they were our sons . . . ?"
"Mai . . . we don't have any kids." Bumi says, confused.
"Bumi . . . I'm telling you right now, for the past few weeks I have been having dreams about those two boys. I have seen them before and-and . . . Bumi . . . I think we may have seen them before. It's possible they could be our kids. We did lose our memory." Mai looks at Bumi with wide eyes.
Bumi thinks about it, looks up at Mako and Bolin, and stares at them. He studies them and thinks; trying to remember anything.
"Well . . . Amon did lie to us before." Bumi mutters quietly to Mai.
They both are so close to remembering, they just need something to trigger it all the way.
"You are interrupting our business, Chief." Amon says, shaking his head.
"Too bad." Lin hisses, clenching her jaw.
Korra shakes her head, "I can handle Amon. Just get your parents out of here!"
Parents?
Mai and Bumi look up and their eyes are wide. They are their parents. But, why can't they remember it? If only they could remember . . .
Mako and Bolin both look to the side and they gasp at what they see. Their parents. Sitting there. Alive.
Mako goes to say something, but then Amon growls, yelling, "Enough! I am here to have my battle with the Avatar and that is what we are going to have."
Before anyone could react, Amon bloodbends Mako, lifting his body off the ground.
Korra's eyes widen, "Mako! Let him go!"
Mai then suddenly jumps to her feet and yells, "Let my son go!" She doesn't know what made her say that, but for some reason, she just . . . did.
Amon, getting frustrated, yells once again, "That's enough!" He then bloodbends every person in the room except for Korra, Mai, and Bumi. He lifts them off the ground and slams them into the wall.
The group –except for Korra- are sitting beside Mai and Bumi while Amon and Korra stand in the middle of the room, glaring at one another.
"I'm not afraid of you, Amon." Korra finally says, shaking her head.
He chuckles darkly, "You should be, Avatar." He suddenly launches at her. Korra, not expecting it, gets hit in the face by Amon's fist.
Korra slams against the ground, slightly hearing her friends' and Mako's voice yelling her name. Korra slowly stands up and looks up at Amon, who is towering over her.
"Once I finish you off, Republic City will be mine!" Amon says coldly. "The Era of Equality shall begin once you are eliminated, Avatar."
"You're the one promoting war and violence! You are teaching these people hatred! You are not making an Era of Equality. People are supposed to be living in harmony with one another and you are making them hate one another! Benders and Nonbenders have lived with each other for their whole lives without war. Your Father, Yakone, wanted revenge against this City and that is what you are doing! You are trying to finish what Yakone started. You don't care about these people!" Korra yells as she gets into her fighting stance in front of Amon.
"You know nothing. Benders think they are more superior to Nonbenders. I am trying to give the Nonbenders a chance to be Equal to them!" Amon growls, anger boiling inside of him. He has had it with this Avatar.
"You are a coward. You are a liar and a fake. I am going to stop you once and for all, Amon. You may have the ability to bloodbend and take away someone's bending, but I have the ability to use the entire past Avatars' power and defeat you." Korra says with a strong voice and a determined look in her eyes.
"Oh, is that so, Avatar?" Amon asks. "Then tell me, how do you plan on defeating me when I could do this . . ." Before Korra could respond, Amon lifts his hands up and Korra is suddenly screaming.
Amon chuckles and shakes his head and he lifts Korra's body off the ground and watches her gasp for air. He twists her insides, bloodbending her body in different ways.
Korra's friends watch with wide eyes. Mako shakes his head, wanting so much to help her. Bolin places his hand on Mako's shoulder, telling him she will be okay. She can get out of Amon's grasp, she is the Avatar, after all.
Lin and the General share a look, both knowing if Korra doesn't stop Amon soon, she will be dead and so will they.
Asami looks over to Mako and Bolin's parents. She watches them stare at Mako and Bolin with a confused look on their faces. Do they remember who their kids are?
Asami looks back over to Korra and could feel her eyes getting watery; one of her best friends is being bloodbended right in front of her. The hands of Amon's bloodbending are turning her body inside out.
Mai sees the look on Mako's face and she could feel a tear slide down her cheek. By the way he is acting, she could tell he loves the Avatar and it must hurt him a lot by seeing her like this; getting hurt like this.
Mai wants to say something to him. She strongly feelings something for him; something inside Mai really believes Mako and Bolin are her children, but the memories of them just won't come to her.
Bumi holds her close to him, but Mai continues to stare at Mako. Seeing him watch Korra with a sad look on his face and hurt in his amber eyes. Mai goes to stretch her hand out and touch Mako's shoulder, but when Korra lets out a loud, piercing scream, Mako snaps.
The Firebender stands up, takes his two fingers and presses them together. He stretches his arm out and points his fingers at Amon's hand. Mako glares at the back of Amon's back and then with that, he does it.
Mako releases a powerful bolt of lightning out of his fingers and it hits Amon's back, shocking him.
"Argh!" Amon yells, falling to his knees for a split second and releasing his grip on Korra.
Korra falls to her knees, gripping the ground with her hands. She takes in deep breaths and her body is shaking.
Amon looks up, standing up slowly, and lifts his hands once more. He sends a glare at Mako, his eyes telling the Firebender that was his death wish he just signed up for after pulling a stunt like that.
However, when Amon turns to Korra, his eyes widen. Korra slowly looks up at Amon, but her ocean blue eyes are gone.
As the Avatar looks up at the masked man, her usual blue eyes are replaced with pure white ones. Her eyes are glowing and her body slowly floats up in the air, strong winds blowing around her.
Everyone watches with wide eyes and shocked looks on their face. Even Amon watches the Avatar with a shocked look under his mask.
Korra is in the Avatar State.
Well, that's it for this chapter. I hope you liked it!
