Of with the chapter!
Akira stands at the ending gate as Korra and the Airbender Kids race on air scooters. With a little Avatar State Magic, Korra takes the lead and wins. Bumi waves the checkered flag as she passes through the gate.
"The Avatar is the winner!" Bumi declares, coughing from the dust.
Akira walks over to his girlfriend as her eyes stop glowing..
"No fair. You can't go into the Avatar State to win." Ikki complains. Korra playfully sticks her tongue out but quickly stops upon hearing Tenzin.
"You did what?" Tenzin exclaims. "The Avatar State is not to be used as a booster rocket. You are toying with a dangerous power that you obviously don't appreciate."
"It's the Avatar State and I'm the Avatar. Who appreciates it more than me?"
"Clearly you need more training to grasp the depths of your spiritual connections. Not to mention you're still a long way off from mastering Airbending."
"I have mastered Airbending. Punch punch punch." Korra responds, blasting the nearby trees with air after each punch. "See? Mastered."
"Looks pretty good to me." Bumi remarks.
"Is it too late for you to unretire from the United Forces?"
"The paperwork's gone through little brother. From now on it's 24/7 Bumi Time!" He exclaims, grabbing Tenzin by the face.
The Airbending Master "You've mastered Korra Style Airbending. Now you need to master real Airbending. Hopefully our visit to all the Air Temples will give you the inspiration you need to delve more deeply into your studies."
Korra, understandably, looks less than thrilled. The Airbender Kids start getting into a squall when Tenzin separates them.
"No one's fighting. We're going to have a wonderful time. Now that the president's in office and I'm not needed on the council I can finally relax with my family and give Korra the attention she needs."
"Great. More attention." Korra mutters.
"What, you don't like my attention?" Akira jokes.
Korra gives Akira smile and playful punch to the arm, grateful for the ease of tension.
"Hah, relax. I've been wanting to see that." Bumi remarks, walking over to lean on Tenzin. "Maybe I'll tag along just to see Vacation Tenzin."
"You're not invited." Tenzin scathingly replies.
Korra kneels down and tell the Airbender Kids, "Before we go on your dad's study trip we're gonna have some real fun at my home town at the Glacier Spirits Festival. They've got rides, games, and all kinds of fried food on sticks."
The Airbender Kids seem to look forward to the prospect.
"Yup. There's Vacation Tenzin. And you can't stop me from going to the festival, Mom already invited me."
Soon everyone is on a boat headed to the South Pole. Akira and Korra lay against Naga on the side of the ship, taking in the moment.
Akira breaks the silence and says, "Heading back to the South Pole after all this time must make you feel nostalgic." Korra nods in agreements.
"I can't wait for the festival. This is going to be so much fun."
"I know. I wonder how many toys you'll win me."
"Probably the same number you'll win for me."
The two chuckle a bit and go quiet once more.
Korra initiates their romance first by giving Akira a kiss on the cheek. Akira responds in the same manner, and soon the two are locking lips.
Korra runs her hands across Akira's abs, and in response Akira slides his hands through the openings of her shirt near the armpits. He pulls her close and rubs her back.
The two part only for Akira to ask, "Want to move to your room?" Korra nods yes. They quickly rush to the room and Naga guards the entrance, primarily by laying in front of the door.
Once inside the two begin tearing the clothes off each other.
"This'll be our second time together. Feeling more prepared this time?" Akira asks humorously.
"Definitely. So, how should we start this time?"
"I can lead us again if you want."
"Yeah. I'll lead at some other point, once we're more used to this."
"Okay."
Korra swallows as Akira runs his hands along her sides, working his way up to cup her breasts. He gives both a kiss, making her moan in pleasure. He then leads Korra to her bed and has her lay down. She does so, giving Akira a tender kiss on the lips.
He begins thrusts, causing Korra to gasp and grunt.
"Y-You're doing-ugh-great." She breathes out.
"You're wonderful as well."
After an hour Akira pulls out and once again releases on Korra's chest. This time, she curiously taps the liquid with her fingers and looks at it oddly.
"Huh. It's stickier than I thought it'd be."
"If you want, you could lick it." Akira offhandedly suggests, causing Korra to blush. He then leans his head down and gives Korra's loins a kiss. This causes Korra to gasp quickly as Akira runs his tongue along her clit.
He stops for a moment to say, "The Twins taught me what they know about sex. Does this make you feel good?"
"Yes. Please, keep going."
Akira leans his head back down and resumes the process. A few minutes alter and Korra squirts on Akira's face.
"I'm so sorry." Korra quickly apologizes, to which Akira merely laughs.
"It's fine, Korra. How did it feel?"
"It felt…really good."
Akira licks his lips and swallows the substance. Korra cautiously sucks on her fingers and tastes the salt.
Akira wipes his face and lays beside Korra, taking her hand.
"I love you, Korra."
"I love you too, Akira."
Soon both occupants of the bed fall asleep.
The next morning the boat arrives at the dock. The Airbender Kids huddle around Katara and hug her. Amako approaches the woman beside her elder and embraces her.
"It's good to see you, Kya." Amako greets.
"You as well, Amako."
Jinora takes her turn to hug her aunt and says, "We missed you Aunt Kya."
"Oh, I missed you too. Your father doesn't bring you to visit nearly enough. He's probably scared I'll beat him up like when we were kids."
"I'm not scared of you…anymore."
To the side, Korra reunites with her parents.
"You remember Akira." Korra introduces.
"It's good to see you again, sir." Akira greets.
"You as well young man. I trust things are going well in Republic City?"
"Yeah. Korra and I actually, uh…"
"We're a couple now." Korra interrupts, taking Akira's arm.
Both parents look pleased, congratulating the two.
"See? I told you they'd be fine." Korra states.
"Sorry I doubted you." Akira responds, pecking Korra on the cheek.
Bolin steps forwards and says, "Wow, look at all these people that came out to greet us."
Korra speaks up and says, "Uh, no, they came to greet them," pointing her thumb towards the now docking ship.
"The great chief of the Northern Water Tribe has come to grace us with his presence. Hooray."
"Just relax Tonraq, he'll be gone soon enough."
As the Chief and his children step off the ship, Bolin takes a liking to them.
"Whoa. Who're the lovely ladies?" He remarks.
"That's Eska and Desna, the Chief's Children. Desna is a guy."
"Oh-sure-yeah-I knew that. Which one is Desna?"
Akira smirks and shakes his head in amusement.
After a few more steps the Chief stands in front of the gathered people.
"It's good to see you again, Avatar Korra." He says, bowing in respect.
"Good to see you too." Korra responds, returning the bow.
Turning his attention to Korra's father, he greets, "Tonraq."
"Brother."
As the entourage walks along the paths, Unalaq says, "It's a shame the southerners have abandoned all connections to the spirits. Even during the most hallowed times."
"I've always loved the Glacier Spirits Festival. It's fun."
"This festival used to be a solemn time of fasting and meditation. Now it's just a chance to watch some rube try to stick an entire arctic hen in his mouth."
To prove his point, Bolin pops up with an arctic hen in his mouth.
Korra and Akira look amused by their friend's antics.
"Traditions change." Tonraq states. "It's not the end of the world."
Unalaq rounds on his brother and says, "Tell that to the sailor's who're being attacked by angry spirits in the southern waters. Some traditions have purpose."
"Wait, spirits are attacking ships?" Korra inquires.
"I'm surprised the Avatar doesn't know about that." Unalaq states, looking to Tenzin. "Apparently you haven't been given all the information you need. It would be my honor to instruct you in the spiritual ways of the Water Tribe."
"I wouldn't mind learning about fighting spirits. Airbending is getting a bit tedious."
Tonraq speaks up and says, "Tenzin is Korra's instructor. He can give her all the training she needs."
Unalaq looks unimpressed saying, "So you've said." He then turns around and walks off.
Korra and Akira leave to prepare for the feast.
"Do you think I should change into something more…formal?" Korra asks.
"You look fine. This is a festival after all."
"True."
Korra flops onto her bed beside Akira, and the two lay there comfortably.
"I'm glad your parents were to nonchalant with our relationship." Akira says.
"I know. We never really got a chance to tell them after I got my bending back. We went right back to Republic City to help there."
"Hm. Ready to go to the feast?"
"Yup. You?"
"I'm all set. Let's get going."
Akira joins Amako with Tenzin, Kya, Bumi, and Katara. He playfully waves to Korra, who waves back.
"Looks like someone's trying to take your place as the Avatar's 'stick-in-the-mud' mentor."
"Bumi don't pick on Tenzin. You now he's always been sensitive." Kya teases.
"I'm not sensitive." Tenzin responds with a huff.
From Katara's side, Akira notices Katara's glum expression.
Unalaq stands up and addresses the gathering. "As your chief, it is my honor to speak at this festival, which was founded to bring our tribes together and restore the ancient balance between our world and that of the spirits. But I am saddened to see what it has become. A cheap carnival that celebrates greedy and trivial humans."
As if to accentuate the point, Varrick, a big shot helping Asami, picks his teeth while using a plate as a mirror.
"I fear the time is fast approaching when the North can no longer stand idly by while our Southern brothers slip into total spiritual decay. Angry spirits are already attacking ships in your waters. I only hope we are not too late to change course."
The crowd murmurs among themselves after Unalaq finishes his speech.
Varrick then takes the stage and announces, "Chief Unalaq, everybody. Always great to have him in town. Now let's have some fun with Wacky Wushu's dancin' otter penguins."
After the feast ends Team Avatar hit the town, specifically Mako, Bolin, Korra, and Akira.
Akira and Korra feed each other cotton candy, and Bolin soon takes notice of the Eska and Desna.
"Wish me luck. Making my move. Weeee." Bolin says, handing his stick food over to Mako.
"Good luck."
"Those two have always creeped me out." Korra states. "They smell like a grandma's attic."
After a minute or two Mako decides to leave the two love birds alone and sets out to find Asami. Akira and Korra move to games now and start at a water gun spot.
"Unalaq offered to train me." Korra says, starting a conversation. "He says he can teach me about the spirits and my connection to them."
"That certainly sounds like an interesting opportunity. Have you talked to Tenzin about this?"
"Sort of. I feel like sometimes he thinks I'm one of his kids, that I don't know what I'm doing."
"Well, you sort of don't. He's got years of experience that neither of us have."
"I guess you're right."
"Look, why don't we both talk to him tomorrow. Having a change of mentors is a big thing, so we should let cooler heads decide."
"Alright. We'll talk to him together."
A minute later and Korra wins the game, with a small blast of Waterbending. Korra and Akira then walk around with a stuffed air bison in the young Avatar's arms. Another game later and Akira holds a stuffed otter penguin.
Having enough of the lights and people, Korra and Akira retire to their hut. They cuddle up against Naga and soon fall into slumber.
Eventually they're woken up by the Polar Bear Dog standing up and walking outside.
"Ugh, Naga what're you doing?" Korra lazily asks, earning howling in return. "Naga hush."
Both occupants of the hut step outside and stand next to the Naga near the edge of the cliff.
"Quiet Naga, you'll wake everyone up." Korra hushes.
Naga gives Korra a lick on the face before resuming her howling. Mako and Bolin soon exit their huts, the younger brother asking, "What's going on?"
From the snow a large purple spirit emerges.
"What…is that?"
The spirit rushes forwards and, with Akira grabbing Korra to protect her, kicks them both away. They slam against a wall of snow and Korra is grappled by the spirit. Still disoriented, Akira struggles to get up. Luckily, Mako blasts a flame at the spirit, causing it to let go.
Mako and Bolin then try to attack the spirit but wind up being swatted away. Tenzin and Tonraq help the two with Asami coming over as well.
Now re-oriented, Korra and Akira nods to each other before attacking the spirit. They both launch fire at the spirit, but it evades their attacks. The two dodge a strike from the spirit and Tonraq moves in to try and contain the creature.
He manages to surround it in ice, but the spirit breaks through the top and chucks Tonraq into the top of his hut. The spirit then launches Korra and Akira down the hill a ways, causing them to slide. With the benders around it dealt with, the spirit breaks through the ice.
"Spirit, why are you angry with us?" Tenzin asks, gaining it's attention. "What have we done to offend you?"
The spirit merely swats Tenzin aside.
Back with Korra and Akira, Akira helps Korra up and she soon goes int the Avatar State. Akira backs up a bit to let her do her thing.
Korra dodges a charging attack from the spirit, causing it to slide into the festival grounds. Before it can retaliate, Korra unleashes multiple flame attacks. This is to no avail though, as the spirit grabs onto the young Avatar and bashes her against a stack of crates.
Akira runs to Korra's side, but before the spirit can deliver a finishing blow the water around it starts to circle around it.
The two watch in amazement as the spirit is enveloped in a bright light, causing it to calm down considerably. As the spirit walks away Unalaq says, "Go in peace."
Korra walks over to her uncle, Akira behind her, as Tonraq and Tenzin approach.
"Korra!" Tonraq exclaims.
"Are you alright?" Tenzin asks.
"I'm fine. Uncle, how were you able to control that spirit when no one else could?" Korra asks.
"As your father could tell you, I've spent my life studying the spirits and learning their ways. All of this knowledge is lost in the South. But I could teach you everything I know."
Tenzin speaks up and says, "Chief Unalaq, clearly you are very knowledgeable, but Korra still has much to learn about Airbending, and I hope that going to the Air Temples will help her connect with the past Avatars."
Korra looks less than thrilled.
"While I'm sure visiting the Air Temples is…most enlightening, it would seem the situation calls for Korra to learn about the spirits. Lessons, it would appear, that only I can give her." Unalaq states.
Akira stands beside Korra, taking her hand, and says, "Look, this has been a very interesting night. How about we all go to bed and think on this. Korra can give you all your answer tomorrow."
Before anyone can answer Akira pulls Korra away and leads her back to the hut. Once inside Korra pulls her hand away.
"I can make my own decisions. You don't need to intervene at every given moment."
"Sorry. I thought it would be beneficial for everyone to take a breath, relax."
"Well what if I decided that I want to have Unalaq be my mentor! Should I just wait to tell them my decision?"
"If that's what you want, then fine. You can go out and tell them right now."
"Ugh!" Korra groans, flopping onto the ground.
Akira stays standing and says, "I'll give you some space."
"No, wait. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you."
Akira sits beside Korra, and Naga curls up around them.
"You feeling ok?" Akira asks.
"Not really. I guess I've been feeling like a prisoner, sort of."
Korra goes on to tell Akira about her conversation between her father, herself, and Unalaq at the banquet.
"Well, I can certainly understand your side of things. But to be fair, things have changed since Avatar Aang was around." He lets out a sigh and continues, "Look, if you want to have Unalaq as your new mentor, I'll support you whole-heartedly. Just be sure this is what you want to do."
"It is."
"Then tomorrow we'll tell the others. Good night."
Akira gives Korra a kiss on the forehead as she wishes him good night.
With their emotions calmed, the two once again fall asleep. This time there would be no night time disturbances.
There we go. That'll be it for this chapter. I don't have much to say so, peace!
