Hey there. You came here for the story probably.
I decided to change the name of the Raikiri into the Chidori, in my opinion it sounds cooler.
I finally found tattoos that fit Kanan. I'm sure you guys are sick of these appearance updates. Blue tribal lines that look like water waves, around his right upper arm to his right chest. And ththe same one on his right kidney.
Crystalheartlover17: Yeah things are gonna get wild. And yeah Kanan is protective of Korra. Korra is the one person who keeps Kanan sane basically.
SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: No. I'm not doing that on purpose. At first I disabled PM messages because of stupid bots. Now it's on. But don't flood me with messages.
tamagat: Like most authors I take inspiration from someone else's work. It's not like I copied the entire scene. It's just, I sometimes don't have inspiration for a scene, so I look what others did. Is it wrong to seek inspiration.
I don't own anything aside from my OC's and some other stuff I might add.
Let's roll.
As the clouds disperse, a huge gleaming city made entirely out of metal in the shape of a lotus flower appears below the airship.
Korra, Kanan, Mako, Bolin, and Asami look amazed out of the window. "Look at that! An entire city made of metal!" Bolin said excitedly, turning to look at Lin, who was sitting behind them on a bench far away from the windows with her arms crossed. "You should feel right at home, Beifong."
But the police chief seemed more than unhappy to be here. Metalbenders below bended strings of a cable out of the nearby crane and looped it around a hook underneath the airship connecting the cable with the airship.
Two other metalbenders subsequently bend and build an intricate stairway for the airship's passengers.
Kanan asks himself if this is really necessary. Bending metal into a staircase and then back.
Bolin runs out excitedly, while the rest of Team Avatar walks out calmly. Lin herself is still slumped on the seat and still seemingly uninterested.
"You not coming Lin?" Kanan asked.
"It's a city made out of metal! What a big surprise!" Lin sarcastically said while throwing her arms in the air. "Just find the airbender and let's get moving. Don't tell anyone I'm here."
Kanan knew better than to ask, and stepped out.
As Team Avatar exit the airship, they are greeted by a man in green and yellow robes and two Metal Clan escorts.
"Avatar Korra. It is an honor to meet you." The man in green said, bowing with his hands clasped. "My name is Aiwei."
"Thanks for having us." Korra said, bowing back.
"Is this everyone?" Aiwei asked, gesturing his hand to the group.
"This is all of us." Kanan answered.
"Yeah. Just us. So, can we meet the new airbender?" Korra asked.
"Of course." Aiwei speaks a little cautiously, gesturing his palm out. "Right this way."
The group boarded a tram, and as they ride it through the metal city, Bolin looks excitedly out of the window as Aiwei remarked on the land marks they passed.
"That statue honors the first metalbender, Toph Beifong." Aiwei explained as the tram passes a statue of Toph. "Who expanded the possibilities of what benders were capable of. Here, everyone is encouraged to reach his, or her, highest potential."
"Does Toph live here?" Bolin said excitedly, "Are we going to get to meet her?"
"I'm afraid not." Aiwei said, much to Bolin's disappointment. "She would visit from time to time, but years ago she left to wander the world, in search of enlightenment. No one has seen her since."
Bolin looks a little downcast and the tram is shrouded in darkness as it enters a tunnel. The tram continues its path and heads for the edge of Zaofu, stopping at the terminal.
"Before you meet the airbender." Aiwei said turning back to the group. "Her mother wants to meet you first."
They follow him into a building, where eight dancers are rehearsing on a flattened metal lotus flower. They fire metal cables to the ceiling, and four of them swing upward before landing, while the four bottom dancers bend the petals for their team-mates to land on.
The dancers bounce from petal to petal, before jumping to the middle, where the flower closes. The dancers open the flower, where the inside dancers pose with a graceful pose.
"Is this some kind of combat training?" Korra whispered to Kanan.
"Of course not. It's a dance rehearsal." He whispered back.
"Allow me to introduce the matriarch of the Metal Clan, Suyin." Aiwei introduced her.
"Please call me Su." Suyin said, pressing her fist into her palm as a greeting. "Great to finally meet you, Avatar Korra. And this must be the Hitokiri Shinigami or Kanan, Bolin, Mako and Asami Sato."
"You sure are well informed." Mako said.
"I make it my business to know who's visiting my city." Suyin states.
"So... you're a dancer?" Korra asked.
"Dancer. Leader. Wife. Mother. Collector of rare meteorites." Suyin replied pulling out a finger with each said profession. "You'll find people here have many skills and interests."
Aiwei then leans into Suyin's ear and whispers to her, causing her eyes to widen. She turns to the group unhappily and narrows her eyes with suspicion. "Kanan, why did you lie to Aiwei when he asked if there was anyone else with you?"
Kanan raised an eyebrow, while Korra looked surprised, and behind them Bolin clasped a hand over his mouth nervously.
"What makes you think I'm lying?" Kanan asked.
"I'm a truth seer. When people lie, their heart rate and breathing increase." Aiwei explained. "And while you remained unreadable, your companions gave off subtle hints so to say. Hints which I could sense."
"Thanks to Aiwei, there are no secrets in our city." Suyin said, with a hint of pride.
"Except the secrets he keeps." Kanan pointed out.
"Yeah. We're with the Republic City Chief of Police here. She told us not to tell anyone that she's here."
"I'm sorry we didn't tell you." Korra said remorsefully.
"Lin's here?" Suyin said surprised and excited. "Well, I would love to say hello."
"Wait, you two know each other?" Asami asked.
"You're joking right?" Suyin asks, but the silence from the teens answers her question. A hurt look adorns her face, as she looks to the side sadly. "Lin never told you about me. I'm her sister."
"What!?" Team Avatar exclaims in shock.
Back on the airship Lin in staring at the metal city, when a voice interrupted her. "At least I know why you were so against it coming here." The voice of Korra caused Lin to turn around and see Team Avatar with Suyin, now in her normal attire, standing there.
"Why didn't you ever tell me you had a sister?" Korra asked.
"Half-sister." Lin corrected.
"Same mom, different dads, so what?" Suyin said, putting her hand over her heart. "We're blood, Lin, and after thirty years, the least you could do is say "hello"."
"I have nothing to say to you." Lin told her sister bitterly.
"Thirty years!? It's easy to see the bad blood between you." Kanan exclaims.
"Ask her, I've tried." Suyin told Kanan.
"Oh, don't put that on me." Lin said, pointing a finger ar Suyin as her sister crosses her arms. "You're the one who tore our family apart."
"And you've done a bang up job keeping it that way." Suyin said smugly and sarcastically.
"You haven't changed one bit, have you?" Lin said.
"Look, we can stay here arguing about the past all day, but that's not reason the Avatar came here." Suyin spoke, turning to Korra. "My daughter is thrilled to meet you."
At a small playing field with metal pillars, a metal disc ricochets between the pillars.
"Those are my two youngest, Wei and Wing." Suyin explained to the rest. "They're playing a game called Power Disc. They invented it all on their own."
Wing shoots the disc to Wei, who redirects it, ricocheting it between multiple pillars. Wei fires the disc back, ricocheting against a column. Wing leaps to intercept the disc, but fails to catch it, which slams onto a net.
"Oh, nice power, Wei." Suyin said.
As Wing grumbles at his defeat his brother exclaims triumphantly. "Wing goes down!"
"I'm so proud of those two." Suyin said as she led the group to a gallery filled with metal sculptures, where a sculptor works on one with metalbending.
"Huan, I'd like you to meet the Avatar and her friends." Suyin said to her other son. "And your Aunt Lin."
"Nice to meet you." Korra greeted him.
Without looking back, Huan said. "Hey."
"That's a really nice... banana?" Bolin said, looking at the sculpture. "Yes, very, very lifelike."
"It's not a banana!" Huan spoke irritably, turning to Bolin. "It was inspired by Harmonic Convergence, it represents the dawning of a New Age!"
"Sure. Whatever you say." Kanan added.
"And this is my daughter, Opal." Suyin said at last.
Opal turns toward the guests, "Wow, Avatar Korra." she stands up, putting her book away, "I can't believe you're here. You are so amazing."
"You bet she is." Kanan teased his girlfriend, which earned him a playful push.
"Opal... That's a beautiful name." Bolin mumbled dreamily.
"Thanks." Opal said softly, blushing.
"I'm Bolin." He greeted her.
"Opal." She said, shaking Bolin's hand. "But, uh, you already knew that."
Kanan glances at the two, amused. He could already see the chemistry between them.
Lin then storms toward them. "Great. We've found the airbender. Let's take her back to the airship and get out of here."
"Easy Lin. We just got here." Kanan remarked.
"Lin Beifong? Really? I've always wanted to meet you." Opal said, turning to Lin. "My mom has told so many stories about you."
"I'm sure she has." Lin said annoyed and coldly, making Opal confused by her behavior.
"So I've set all of you up in the guesthouses while Korra trains Opal." Suyin said, turning to them.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Korra said. "But I was hoping she could train with the rest of the airbenders at the Northern Temple."
"That sounds amazing." Opal said.
"Nonsense." Suyin said immediately. "This is where Opal's home and family are. You can train her here."
"Absolutely not!" Lin immediately cut her sister off. "We're leaving."
"I'm with Lin on this one." Kanan spoke up. "We don't have time to waste, there are other airbenders as well."
"They're just a little worried because there's a bunch of crazy criminals after me." Korra said. "Nothing too strange really."
"If you're concerned about security, don't be. This is the safest city in the world." Suyin reassured them. "Now I'll see you all at dinner. And come hungry. My chef will blow the taste buds right out of your mouth."
At night where the metal panels surrounding the city close. Team Avatar were sitting in the large dining area of Suyin's mansion, where they where served their food by the Chef.
"Tonight, for your dining pleasure, I present a seared wild Kyoshi elephant koi, paired with a ginger-infused pea tendril and hibiscus root salad."
The chef bows before walking off, where he bows to a man, as they cross paths.
Kanan drowned out the conversation, he was just annoyed.
"That was my brilliant architect of a husband, Baatar, and our oldest son, Baatar jr." She explained to Korra and Kanan. "He engineers all my husband's projects."
"Five kids." Lin frowned. "What a nightmare."
"No, no." Her sister said back, quite happily. "My children are a blessing."
"Yeah, mom used to say that too." She said. "But she never meant it..."
Bolin and Opal, were also having a conversation.
"...I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in my life."
"Oh. I had plenty when Mako and I were living in the streets." Bolin said. "I mean, you'd be surprised how bad food from a dumpster can be."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know." The young airbending girl said sympathetically.
"No, no, it's okay, that's all in the past." Bolin said quickly. "Things are great now. I got to be a pro-bender, fought against a dangerous revolution, became a mover star, I'm helping the Avatar rebuild a whole nation and I met one of the strongest and scariest guys ever."
"Who?" She asked.
"Well you know him as the Shinigami, I know him as Kanan." Bolin told her.
"Wow. You're life sounds so exciting." Opal said kinda envious.
"Bet you couldn't find much information on me?" Kanan asked Suyin.
"Kinda. You're like a ghost. Aiwei as well couldn't read you." Suyin said before changing the topic. "By the way how's your search for airbenders going?"
"Honestly, not great." Korra admitted sighing. "We had to rescue a whole group of them from the Earth Queen."
"Oh, she's horrible. She thinks she can just do whatever she wants." Suyin agreed. "I mean, the idea of even having a queen is so outdated. Don't you agree, Korra?"
"I...I haven't really thought about it too much." Korra said.
"The monarchies are finished. They were finished a while ago, but they're still making the corpses dance." Kanan remarked. "Think about it, they put the small thief in prison, while the big thief lives in a palace."
"Wise words." Suyin said, impressed.
"Sorry we're late, everyone."
Turning to the entrance of the dining room, they saw that it was Varrick and Zhu Li.
"Varrick!" Bolin gasps, excitedly.
"What are you doing here?" Asami asked.
"Great question, Asami. I mean, what are any of us doing here? Why are we all here? Wow, food for thought." Varrick said turning to the raven haired girl.
"Either way, the universe decided to set me free." Varrick stated. "So, I looked up my old friend Suyin here, pitched her a few ideas, and bam! We're in business together."
"Varrick's heading up my new technology division." Suyin said.
"I've seen the future, and the future is... magnets!" Varrick stated dramatically. "I'm working on a high speed rail that would revolutionize transportation and shipping as we know it. But that's not all, I'm..."
"All right, that's enough!" Lin snapped, standing up. "I'm trying to keep the Avatar safe and you're harboring a criminal?"
"Ease out, Lin." Suyin spoke. "Sure Varrick's made a few mistakes in his past, but that doesn't mean he should pay for it for the rest of his life. My chef was a pirate, but now he's a culinary master. People change."
"You haven't." Lin bitterly exclaimed.
Later in the evening Kanan, Mako and Bolin went to one Zaofu's night clubs, after dragging Bolin there.
"So, Bolin." Kanan began as he sat down at the table setting their drinks down. "You and Opal, I can see some chemistry between the two of you. It looks like she really likes you." He said taking a swig.
"Yeah, I know." Bolin said, holding the drink not sure if he should drink it. "She's sweet and pretty and super nice. But what if she's not my type."
"Right." Mako said amused, downing his drink slightly. "Your type is a dumb mover star or some psycho ice princess."
"No need to remind me of Eska." Bolin shuddered. "And just so you know I never went out with Ginger."
"Could you two give me some advice?" Bolin asked. "Since... you know, you two have actual relationships."
"First: When a woman tells you nothing is wrong, then something is wrong believe me."
"Second: When you hear a woman saying: "Correct me if I'm wrong but..." Don't ever correct her! This will lead into a huge argument." Kanan said as Mako couldn't help but laugh.
"Third: Don't be afraid to admit you are wrong. Even if you still think you are right. Good advice, but I usually end up just rehashing the whole thing because I was right in the first place."
"Fourth: Handle all finances and lie about how much things cost." Kanan said as Mako burst out laughing.
Deciding to get serious Kanan gave Bolin some actual advice.
"Talk about everything. Keep the lines of communication open. You're going to be in trouble if you can't talk in times of crisis." Kanan stated.
"Never compare your relationship to others. You never know what's going on behind closed doors." Mako added.
After too many drinks to count and lots of funny and serious relationship advice the three benders found themselves walking through the empty streets of Zaofu, towards the party of some kid, said kid had invited everyone in the night club.
Kanan, Mako and Bolin all thought the same thing. "Okay let's go over there and destroy the place."
When they got there everyone was drinking like it was the end of the world. People were drinking like it was the Hundred Year War and the doctor was coming to saw their legs off. The trio walked down into the basement, there was a pool table there. Bolin took a running start and threw himself onto the pool table breaking it in half.
The party was going great Kanan was standing in the basement and holding a red cup and he was starting to black out. He then heard someone say something like: "something, something police". And in a brilliant moment of word association Kanan yelled "fuck da police! fuck da police!", and everyone else joined in.
A hundred drunk teenagers yelling: "fuck da police" With the confidence of guys who have like already been to jail And aren't afraid of it anymore. The reason someone had said: "Something, something police" was because the police were there. A Zaofu police officer walked down the stairs and got to the bottom of the basement, and looked out over a sea of drunk toddlers yelling "Fuck da police" in his face, the officer was almost impressed. He then said something in his radio. Mako took a bottle smashed it against the ground and yelled. "Scatter!!!"
The trio darted out of the house barely escaping the officers. It was then that they found themselves standing in front of a high chain-link fence.
"I've never climbed a fence this high before." Bolin voiced his thoughts.
Kanan found himself stumbling into his and Korra's room and promptly fell onto the bed, where a awoke Korra was sitting up in their bed, the only light coming from the lamp on the nightstand.
"How much have you been drinking?" She asked.
"A lot... I stopped counting after... I didn't count to be honest." Kanan said, his voice muffled by the sheets.
"What we're you doing?" Korra asked.
"Went into a night club, where some kid had invited all over to his house, which we proceeded to wreck. Some officers then came and we escaped. I don't remember the rest." Kanan stated.
"Why did you tell me all of it?" Korra asked again.
"Because it's the truth." Kanan replied.
Korra's eyes widened. "Wait a second. He's telling the only the truth when he's drunk?"
"Kanan tell me. Do you have any fantasies about me." She decided to test her theory.
"I'd like us to try some role-play, BDSM you know. I wanna fuck you without mercy, as if you were nothing but a piece if meat." Kanan replied.
She was slightly confused about the BDSM thing but smiled nonetheless. "Anything else?" She asked, but the only sound that came from Kanan were his cute, soft snores. She wrapped the sheets over him and cuddled up next to him
That morning, Korra and Asami where eating breakfast with Suyin's family, sitting at the dining room.
"Hey, has anyone seen Chief Beifong?" Asami asked.
"I think she's still sulking in her room." Korra said.
"I know she has a problem with me, but she had no right to yell at Opal last night." Suyin said as Wei and Wing run into the room. "All set for your power disc game, guys?"
While Wei takes a few pieces of fruit from the basket. "Yeah, all set to kick Wei's butt." Wing said, snatching an apple.
"I wanna power disc your face." Wei said, smacking Wing in the stomach, causing him to choke on the apple.
"Do you all have to speak so loud?" Kanan groaned painfully, holding a hand to the side of his head as he, Mako and Bolin came in as well.
"Rough night?" Asami asked.
"I... think?" Bolin groaned as he sat down. "Don't remember much."
"Well things got out of hand in Zaofu last night." Suyin told them when the three young men sat down. "The officers interrupted a large party, because of noise complaints. All party guests were apparently yelling: F the Police."
Those three words flashed in Kanan's mind.
"... Really. Lin never offered to train you?" Suyin said surprised upon discussing the fact that Korra never learned to metal bend. "Well, it's probably for the best. I'm sure Lin would be a horrible teacher. As the Avatar, you should have mastery over all the elements. I'd be happy to show you the basics."
"Really?" Korra said. "That would be great!"
"You should try it, too." Opal said, turning to Bolin.
"Later maybe. Besides I still have a horrible headache." Bolin stated.
A hour or so later Kanan was meditating, trying to contact someone.
"Hey, how's it going." Rai A.K.A the Raiju greeted his son. "How's the search for airbenders going?"
"Not great really, but that's not why I need to talk with you." Kanan said.
"In the last month or so after Harmonic Convergence, I've... changed. I feel stronger than I even was before. My bending is much stronger, I've discovered how that I can hear people talking at a rather extraordinary range."
Kanan referred to being able to pick up electromagnetic waves from the air, allowing him to overhear conversations and everything around him, at a rather extraordinary range.
Rai looked slightly shocked. "It can't be... is he... does he... No I probably worry to much."
"You evolve, you grow stronger. That's all there is to it." Rai told his son.
"If you believe that's all, then okay. Oh and one more thing. Do you have an actual name?" Kanan asked.
Rai turned around, shocked. "I never told you? Oh this is awkward. I know my son for years yet he doesn't know my name." He laughed.
"It's Tōga." Tōga smiled, before dissappearing.
Again sorry if the chapter is short.
