Chapter 14 part 1!
….
When Korra and Tahno reached the dueling grounds, Tenzin and Iroh were already running to stop Mako from killing Bolin. Korra and Tahno ran alongside the other two. "Tenzin! What the hell is happening?" Korra asked. "Mako's gone completely insane," Tenzin said gravely, "if we don't stop him, he's going to end up killing Bolin and everyone else here!" Iroh suddenly stopped running. Tahno yelled back, "Come on! We can't stop here!" Iroh clenched his fist and shouted, "It's my fault! I told him not to use this technique, but it wasn't enough! I should've been more assertive!"
Korra ran back to him, "It's not your fault Iroh! It's his for acting like he's the supreme ruler of everybody!" Korra pulled Iroh up, "Let's speed things up!" she said to everyone else.
Tahno pulled water from the nearby ocean and made a wave to propel himself on. Tenzin created a giant air scooter, and Iroh and Korra prepared fire jets for themselves. Korra looked at everyone one last time and faced towards the ring.
"Let's go."
…
Bolin stood trembling with fear as the two headed dragon roared at him with frightening ferocity from the sky above. "M-Mako! It doesn't have to end like this!" he yelled. Mako started to cackle like a maniac, "Do you really think your words will change your fate?" he screamed, "The only way this will end-" Mako started his bending movements, "is when you're dead at my feet!"
Instead of the dragon crashing down at him, three columns made out of electricity crashed down beside Mako and started to form as tigers. The tigers started to rush at Bolin. Bolin steadied himself, "There has to be a weakness!" He looks at the tigers to see that they are not touching the ground; they're levitating. Bolin lifts the ring level to make the tigers touch the ground, but they're still coming. Mako started to scream, "Ha! Foolish brother! Did you really thing that something like earth could destroy my creations?"
Bolin felt his heart drop as the tigers neared him, "I-I can't believe this is it. I never got to tell Korra the truth. It's over." Bolin shut his eyes, waiting for the imminent impact.
Suddenly, a rush of fire blast in front of him and the tigers disappear. He opens his eyes to see Korra, Iroh, Tahno, and Tenzin each with their respective elements in hand; ready to fight.
"Mako! If you stop now, we can all move on!" Korra shouted to him. Mako had this crazy look to him, and his deep blue fire started to rise around him. "You stupid bitch! If it wasn't for you, Asami would be still mine!" Korra eyes narrowed at him, "I never told you to leave her for me! You left her of your own will! You don't deserve to have anyone care about you!"
Mako blasted a stream of fire at Korra. Korra watched as the fire came right at her, and shot back her own stream, that turned white. Iroh thought to himself, "The White Fire of the Maiden of the Sun! That fire hasn't been seen in hundreds of years!"
Mako started to rise upon his fire jets, "Well since you want to get in the way of family business, you'll have to die as well!" He ran at the five benders. Tenzin bent a blade of air to disrupt Mako's rush towards them, but the fire made the air useless. "Korra! What are we going to do?" Tenzin asked her. Korra started to speak but Iroh cut her off.
"Tenzin; you're going to disrupt the air around Mako to weaken his fire. Try to remove as much air from his fire as possible. Tahno; you're going to weaken his fire directly. His fire is very strong, and I know you can reinforce your water to handle it. Don't, under any circumstances, try to fight against any lightning attacks. Korra, you're going to fight Mako directly. Use as many skills as possible. And I'll try to weaken that dragon in the sky and help Korra along the way. Got it?"
Bolin stammered, "B-But what about-?" He didn't get to finish his question when Lin slid down the cliff. "I'm gonna fight this bitch nigga too! He messed up my hair! You funna die, bitch ass!" Iroh pinched between his eyebrows, "Lin, you and Bolin can disrupt Mako's movements. Bend the earth around him and even throw boulders at him. Also, you two can help us by bending barriers around us to protect us from attacks. Any questions?"
There were none. Tahno positioned himself near the ocean. Tenzin positioned himself to the right of Mako, where the wind currents would be the strongest. Bolin and Lin were to the left of Mako, where the earth had better quality. Korra and Iroh stood opposite of Mako, ready to fight.
Iroh looked at Korra, "Are you ready?" Korra didn't answer.
…
Mako watched the other benders lock into formation to fight against him. He rushed straight at Korra and Iroh, who both blasted streams of sky blue and white fire at him. He skirted behind them, attempting to hit them from behind. Suddenly a large boulder came and hit him out of nowhere, knocking him off the ring. "That's for my weave asshole!" Lin shouted at him. Bolin gave her a shocked look, "That's weave?" Lin gave him a look, "It's nice, right? Smooth in the front, and boppin in the back!"
Mako stood up with rage, "So it's 6 on 1, is it?" Iroh yelled to Mako, "Life isn't fair, you either deal with it, or die." Mako glared at him and directed a bolt of lightning at Iroh. Before Iroh could redirect it, a purple bolt of lightning crashed through Mako's and the impact blew him back.
Iroh looked over and saw that it was Korra who bent the purple bolt, "How did you do that?" he asked, surprised. She smirked, "I'm the Avatar, and I always have a trick up my sleeve."
Mako stood up and bent a tornado of fire at the pair. A huge wave of water crashed down on the fire. "You better stop small talking my girlfriend, Iroh!" Tahno said sarcastically.
"You know what? Let's make this a fair game!" Mako yelled. He bent six lightning tigers down from the sky, and they ran at each of the other benders.
"He's separating us!" Iroh yelled, "I'm going to help Tahno! Korra, can you handle two of those things?"
Korra nodded and started to earth and fire bend at the same time. She blasted one tiger with white fire and the other was hit with a spear of earth. Tenzin was fighting his tiger by hitting it with sharp blasts of air until it dissipated. Bolin and Lin were fighting theirs with large boulders to disrupt their current. And Iroh as helping Tahno fight his.
Mako stood watching, seething with anger, "They're beating me!" He looked at Tahno, who was standing aside watching Iroh fight the tiger. "That asshole waterbender! It's time to take care of him!"
Mako raised his right hand into the air, and the dragon roared. When he brought the hand down, the dragon breathed down a bolt of lightning.
Directly at Tahno.
Iroh watched in horror as the bolt made its descent at Tahno. He tried to run over to Tahno, "I-I'm not going to make it!" he thought in horror. Tahno was frozen in fear as he watched the bolt come at him, he tried to run, but it was too late. The bolt struck him and he was blown back. When he hit the ground, he didn't move.
"TAHNO!" everyone yelled in fear.
Everyone except Korra.
She watched the bolt hit him and closed her eyes. When she opened them, they glowed white. She propelled herself up into the air and surrounded herself with a ball of air. A bolt of purple lightning surrounded her as well. Next, a ring of white fire came out of her mouth and wrapped itself around the air ball. She raised a hand and a great wave of the ocean crashed on the land and surrounded the ring of fire. Finally, giant blades of rock surrounded her. Her hair clips fell out, letting her hair fly free. She looked amazing.
Amazingly frightening.
Mako stood frozen in fear. The last time he saw her in this form she had a calm expression and look majestic. Now, she looked like she was on a mission to kill.
"Mako." Her voice was layered with the other voices of the thousands of lives before her, "you have committed the ultimate transgression. Murder." She lowered herself closer to the ground, "Your punishment," she propelled herself at a frightening speed towards a scared Mako.
"Is your death!"
…
Oh crap. It's getting real now! Part 2 is the finale and it will be fairly long! Review, pretty please!
