Heading To The End Game Also the Skeleton thing Part 1


I Own Nothing Of The ATLA/LOK Series. Truly Shocking I know.


Hobo Commune... Place- Day

I leaned against a wall looking out at the commune. Korra and Mako had gone off to check out the city. Which meant that the last 2 episodes of season one was coming. When they came back it meant end game. We deal with Amon and his little cult and then a couple months off free time before all that spirit shit started up.

Or was it a year? It's been so long since I watched the show. I was just gonna forget more and more as time passed. And what happened after we get past season 2? Am I done after that?

Since I was back in my reality. Back home.

Did the show get more seasons? I'm so fucked if there are more seasons and more shit to get through. I'm just surviving off luck at this point. I honestly have no idea how I've lasted this long.

...God dammit my eyes are leaking water again.

I rubbed at my eyes to hide the eye water that might have been coming. I really didn't want anyone seeing that at the moment. I twas taking my a final shuddering breath before I saw Asami heading my way. I quickly straightened up trying to make it look like I was stretching.

"O-oh...hey Asami! Something going on?", I stammered out as she got close. She cocked an eyebrow at me before leaning next to me,"So what's wrong?"

"What makes you think somethings wrong 'Sami? I'm fine."

Asami smirked at me,"Well I did see you wiping your eyes...so what's wrong Yoh? And don't say nothing. We both know it's not."

I looked at her for a second before turning away. I sighed to myself,"...I guess I'm homesick. Well not guess. I am homesick. With everything happening I'm starting to miss my home."

"You could always go back and visit."

A dark laugh escaped my lips,"If I could go visit I would. But at the moment that's not happening." Asami frowned at me,"Because of the Equalists?"

"...Yeah. That's a part of it. But honestly it's nothing for you to worry about. This is my problem." Asami gave me a sad smile before she pulled me into a hug. I frowned at the contact,"What are you doing?"

"I'm hugging you because you're sad dummy. We're friends you know, I'm allowed to be sad for you."

"Thanks. You can stop now. I'm over it at the moment."

She frowned at me again before letting me go,"At the moment?"

"I'm a man Asami, we bury our feelings until they come bursting out in unhealthy ways after I get drunk. It's just the way the world works."

She rolled her eyes pushing me a bit,"All right macho man. Let's head to our meeting spot for when Korra and Mako come back. Gommu has his stew' ready"

"I can hear the sarcasm on macho man. Also that's not stew he makes. That is a mistake that God nor the spirits corrected. Every day we stray further from His light."


Gommu's smile and the mistake he called food greeted Korra and Mako as they came back,"Welcome back! Hope you worked up an appetite, 'cause dinner is served!"

I gave a smile trying to hide the horror at the food being offered,"Yeah it's... even better this time." Asami and Lee had forced me to eat a bit before I claimed I was full. I always thought that I was willing to try and eat anything. But nope trash food is where my mind and soul draws the line.

Korra smiled back at me and to Gommu,"Thanks so much for letting us hide out with you the past few days. It's been a real help with everything going on above-ground."

Gommu grin grew even wider at the comment as he gave more slop to Bolin and myself. Asami and Lee had 'conveniently' finished early and put there plates away to be washed later. Fuckers.

"Honored to oblige Avatar! My associates and I heartily oppose Amon's so-called 'Equalist' got benders and nonbenders living together down here, but do you see us fightin'?!" He walked behind grabbing my shoulders to bring his head down next to my face,"No siree! We've figured out how to harmoniously co-exist!"

I internally screamed at the close proximity. He smelled better than you expected a hobo to smell honestly.

He was still a hobo though. I cocked my head to side thinking,"But you guys are hoboes though. It'd be dumb to be interested in that Equalist crap."

Gommu stood up straight again looking down at me,"What do ya mean son?"

I let out a shaky laugh,"I'm just saying as hoboes it'd be pretty dumb to discriminate against the hoboes who can help make your lives...not suck as much as it could suck. Why push away the people with powers? But all in all dude? Good job on this place!"

Gommu stared at me for a second,"Thanks..."

I looked away from him as the stare continued. Okay another thing to add to the list. Be more considerate, take less risks, and keep my mouth fucking shut.

It's a work in progress.

Bolin cut in quickly before anything could get weirder,"Mmmm. This is the best-tasting street gruel I've ever had. Seriously!" Gommu's attention quickly turned to him and the heat quickly died down around me.

I looked over at Asami and Lee who also had looks of shock on their faces,"Spirits help us, he probably means that too."

Asami let out a confused snort,"I just. Wow. I can't even look at the stuff after you told me where he got the ingredients. And he's just scarfing it down!?"

Lee just shook his head with a smirk,"He's got the immune system of a ox-bear."

I blinked,"Wait are those really a th-?!"

Korra sat down next to me with a smirk,"He's just tougher than you three. I eat it."

I rolled my eyes at her,"And after you found out you walked off to and I quote 'gather your thoughts' never realized to think you had to puke, but hey? What do I know?"

Korra laughed giving me a soft punch in the shoulder,"You jerk!"


Commune- Night

I stared up at the opening above me. Night had come pretty quickly and everyone had quickly taken their spots to sleep. Lee had taken my bed leaving me with a blanket and a pillow. I decided to just crash under the opening to stare up at the stars.

It was one of the few spots you could see the sky down here. There was no chance I could go up there for fresh air. You know with all the equalists. And the fact that I had pissed of Amon and his Lieutenant.

Okay I pissed off Amon. With the whole knowing who he really is.

Lee pissed off Sparkman with the whole... scarring thing. But for some reason he seemed angrier at me than at the guy who scarred him.

But honestly knowing my luck I really shouldn't have been shocked.

I sighed rolling over to try and get comfortable. As I started to drift off I heard a familiar animal walking towards me. I sighed getting up to face the girl and her dog,"Can't sleep either Korra?"

She stopped for a second before blushing in embarrassment,"No, I have this awful pit in my stomach."

"Not surprising. I'm stressed too. It's all coming to a breaking point. Kinda feels like it's too much too fast right?"

She gave me a sad smile at me sitting down next to me as Naga softly collapsed behind us,"You're too right. I can't stop thinking how a few months ago I was in the South Pole practicing for my firebending test, and now I'm in the middle of an all-out war."

"Life has a way of sneaking up on you and pushing you into a ditch huh? But hey at least you're not doing it alone right? You have Mako, Asami, Bolin, Naga and-"

"You."

I nodded before it clicked in my head why she interrupted to say that. I frowned at her,"I thought we agreed to put his on hold until after-"

Korra decided to interrupted me again,"What do think you'll do after all this over? I think I want to go back to the South pole for a bit. Maybe a week or two. Just get back in touch in my family instead of conversing through letters. What about you?"

I closed my eyes as I leaned my back against Naga as I thought over that.

What did I want to do?

Well obviously I needed to find out more about why I was here. So obviously I needed more information. The Library in the city had a lot of information but nothing I needed. I did learn about the mass railways, and with that I could go to places that probably did have that info! Ba Sing Se probably had a shitload of info to see in their library.

And if I remember right the Earth King had a daughter and she was in charge! If I dropped the fact that I was an ally of the avatar she'd probably give me free reign to see whatever I needed right?

But there were other cities that blew up with the creation of the railways. Like-

"Yoh? You still awake?"

I opened my eyes to look over at her,"Zaofu."

Her eyes crunched up in confusion,"Zoufu?"

"Yup. It's called The Steel Flower of the Earth Kingdom. It's like...the one of the safest city in the world! And it's considered one of the most innovative places on the planet! It sounds like an amazing place."

And it has a couple professors on spirits and their effect on the material world. But that's not important at the moment.

Korra smiled,"It sounds amazing! I hope I get to go there someday."

"Once this is all over if Tenzin doesn't give you a break to do whatever you want, I will honestly be shocked. You're about to stop Amon. You're one of the hardest working people in this city! With everything you've done you deserve a key to the fucking city."

Korra's smile grew wider,"Thank you Yoh. When you're not insulting me you're a pretty nice guy."

Oh.

Right.

I jumped up causing Korra and Naga to flinch. She looked up at me in confusion,"You okay?" I nodded at her and coughed into my hand to steel myself.

"I need to apologize to you Korra. I've been a jerk to you since the first moment I met you. In my defense the first time we met you were destroying the city...but that doesn't justify the way I've treated you."

"Don't worry about it Yoh. I've gotten over that a while ago."

I crouched down again to grab her hand,"Even so. I really am sorry. I'm trying to be better. And I hope that after all this if you still like me, you'll like the new me too."

She stood up to grab my other hand connecting them,"I think I already do."

Wait...

Fuck. I'm supposed to be stopping this relationship shit!

I quickly pulled my hand out of hers,"You should probably try to get some sleep. We should be getting reports of the United Forces any day now, we should get up early. Night Water Girl."

"Night Water Boy."

I waved as she walked away Naga following after her. Once she was out of sight I laid back down on the blanket and patted my pillow. I resumed looking back up at the opening.

I sighed,"So Zaofu. And if nothing comes up there I'll move on to Ba Sing Se. And if I nothing comes from that... I have no idea. Man I wish I could sleep."
