Welcome back.

About what I said last chapter. I hope some of you can give some of your free time to review thoroughly. You need to understand that reviews are very important to authors/writers like myself. Through reviews we find out what you like and dislike and can hopefully make the story better. And if you review, please say something more than just, 'good chapter' or 'update soon' be more creative with a review.

If you've read all of the above, thank you and sorry if it wasted your time.

Crystalheartlover17: Something will happen soon. You're nervous, huh.

SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: In my opinion all villains in this show were complete shit. About Zaheer's plan for Kanan, well wait and see.

Chris (guest): I am planning for that. Zaheer, maybe.

JokerAka: Thanks pal, appreciate it. Next time if you leave a review, please try and say something about my story, my characters, okay.

clank2662: The last episode is one of the most cowardly acts ever. The creators should be ashamed. They just bended the knee to the SJW community.

Well GET WOKE, GO BROKE bitches.


I don't own anything aside from my OC's and some other stuff I might add.

The Red Lotus were relaxing in the chamber when, Zaheer's curiosity got the better of him.

"Minuano. I understand you have your reasons for wanting to fight the Hitokiri, but why?" Zaheer asked.

Minuano sighed he drew his Muramasa and slashed across his abdomen. The four others stared in shock. But what shocked them even more was that the wound began to heal. They saw some blood-red worms crawl into the wound and fuse with the skin and muscle healing him.

"Bloodworms." Minuano answered.

"They a-are real?" Zaheer asked, confusion and shock evident in his voice.

"What are those things?" Ghazan asked as he stepped away from Minuano.

Zaheer proceeded to explain that Bloodworms are mystical organisms that infest the hosts body and in case of an injury fuse themselves with the skin and muscle to replenish the lost tissue. He also added in that a person basically becomes almost immortal with them.

"So... how old are you?" Ming-Hua asked.

"400 years ago I was born to the Southern Water Tribe." Minuano answered, smirking at the reactions of the other four.

"You must have seen so much, met all these people." Zaheer said astounded.

Zaheer asked Minuano to tell of his life. Minuano happily obliged. The four Red Lotus members were simply fascinated. Minuano's life was... they couldn't find a fitting word.

Minuano said how he met some of the Avatar's in his life. Zaheer intently listened. Minuano was a interesting young man.

Minuano explained how he has lived long enough and wishes to die. But he refuses to commit suicide, exclaiming he will die fighting, fighting against the strongest.

Suddenly a Dai Li agent hurried by the doorway.

"Looks like he's in a hurry." Zaheer got up. "Wait here."

He ran after the agent before jumping through the open doors of the throne room and jumping to a higher place, so that he could hear what was happening.

The agent knelt. "Your majesty, we received a distress signal from the air ship carrying the prisoners. We believe that it crashed in the Si Wong Desert. We believe that the Avatar and the Hitokiri may have escaped."

"This is outrageous." The Earth Queen angrily declared. "Send another airship to retrieve the Avatar and the Hitokiri immediately."

"It's already on its way your majesty." The agent replied.

Zaheer made his way back to the chamber and told everyone what he heard.

"What are we going to do now?" Ming-Hua asked.

Ghazan said. "There's no way we could track them down before the Earth Queen."

"There's no way they'll be lucky enough to catch them again." Minuano stated.

"It doesn't matter because we're through chasing her. It's time we made her come to us." Zaheer stated.

Zaheer led the other members to the throne room blowing the door open with his airbending. They then made their way towards the throne.

The Earth Queen was offended. "What is this rift raft doing in my throne room?"

"Apologies your majesty." Zaheer bowed. "We couldn't help but overhear that the Avatar wouldn't be joining us today."

"The Avatar is still in my custody, however, eavesdropping on royal conversations will land you in a cell next to those two you brought in. Now, if you value your freedom, you'll tell me where the airbenders are, now!" She commanded.

Zaheer said. "That wasn't the deal."

"I will not barley words with bounty hunters. Seize these hoodlums and throw them in prison until they decide to show proper respect for the crown." The Earth Queen ordered.

The Dai Li surrounded them, and P'Li knocked them away with her Combustionbending. Some more agents came throwing their Earth Hands, but Ghazan threw them right back.

Ming-Hua was blasting them away with her water. Zaheer didn't even have to lift a finger.

Minuano though like always wasn't interested in fighting anyone aside from the Shinigami.

Gun ran as the Earth Queen hid behind her throne. "Gun! Get back here and lay down your life for your queen. You coward." Zaheer made his way up the steps. "You wouldn't dare attack a queen."

Zaheer airbended onto the top of her throne. "I forgot to mention something to you. I don't believe in queens." He bent the air from her lungs. "You think freedom is something you can give and take at will. To your people, Freedom is just as essential as air. Without it, there is no life." He bent the air away. "There is only darkness."

Ba Sing Se Communication Center

Zaheer and P'Li made their way to the console as the man in the chair turned angrily saying. "You cannot be in here."

"There is no need for alarm. I need to make an announcement to the entire city. How do I do that?" Zaheer asked.

"Who do you think you are?" The man asked.

P'Li knocked him out and gave Zaheer the microphone.

Zaheer nodded and grabbed the microphone. "Citizens of Ba Sing Se. I have an important announcement to make. Moments ago, the Earth Queen was brought down at the hands of revolutionaries including myself. I'm not going to tell you my name because my identity is not important."

"I'm not here to take over the Earth Kingdom. I think you've had enough of leaders telling you what to do. It's time you found your own path. No longer will you be oppressed by tyrants. From now on you are free. I deliver Ba Sing Se back into the hands of the people."

The Inner Wall began to melt into lava thanks to Ghazan's bending. With one last stomp, the wall collapses. Bystanders brace themselves from the collapsing wall and cheer when the dust settles before making their way out.


Down in the palace prison in Ba Sing Se. The prisoners had began to riot as Mako has managed to melt off a section of the bar, shaking his wrist with the the strain before resuming.

"We have to find a way out of here before Zaheer gets his hands on Korra." Mako said, looking for a way out. "You have to metalbend us out of here. C'mon! I know you can do it! This is your time!"

Bolin readies himself and metalbends when suddenly all the doors but theirs suddenly opened.

Zaheer and Ming-Hua appeared in front of the door. Mako and Bolin unleashed their respective elements at the pair, but Ming-Hua blocked it and hosed everyone against the back wall of the cell.

"Listen to me. I'm going to set you free, but I want to talk to you first. I have a message for the Avatar." Zaheer stated.


Misty Palms Oasis

Kanan who with Korra, Asami and the ship crew were riding on Byakko, could see the small town coming up. Byakko landed and everyone got off.

The captain then spoke up. "You know, it seems that whatever conflict you have with the queen is above our pay grades." He held out his hook. "Thanks for not stranding us out there."

Korra shook it. "It wouldn't have been right. And I'm sorry I stranded us out there in the first place. I honestly didn't mean for that to happen." Korra admitted.

"It's alright." The captain reassured her, before he turned to his men. "I think we could use a drink."

The soldiers left them, and Naga ran over knocking both Kanan and Korra over and licking their faces

"Easy girl, did you think we weren't coming back for you." Korra happily stated.

Kanan smiled as he scratched Naga's belly.

The pair got up and made their way to a bar where they saw Lin, Zuko, and Tonraq. They instantly ran over.

"What are you all doing here?" Korra questioned.

Tonraq hugged Korra. "Korra, you're safe."

"Yeah, we made it out of the desert thanks to Kanan and Byakko." Korra replied.

Tonraq then gestured to the elderly man. "Do you remember Lord Zuko?"

"I met you when you were a very young girl." Zuko said bowing. "It's good to see you again, Avatar Korra."

"It's good to see you, Lord Zuko." Korra said returning the bow.

"Thanks for ditching us back at Zaofu." Lin said annoyed.

"Your welcome." Kanan dryly said.

"And you must be the Hitokiri." Zuko bowed. "An honor to meet you. I also wish to express my gratitude to you for freeing the Amana province."

"Just Kanan is good enough." Kanan laughed returning the bow.

Then Kanan remembered something. "Oh and Lord Zuko, I've meet Iroh in the spirit world and he told me to tell you that, "Your tea tastes like hot leaf juice"."

Zuko then shed a small tear, he wiped it away and started laughing. "Thank you for that." Zuko said between laughs.

"Have any of you seen Mako and Bolin?" Asami asked.

"Some people at the inn saw them captured by Zaheer's crew." Lin said. "We don't know where they are."

"They were taken to the Earth Queen by the Red Lotus." Zuko began. "They also killed the queen, Ba Sing Se is overrun by looters."


A few hours later at the Misty Palms Oasis where numerous spirits have gathered around the iceberg in the middle of the town, Kanan was sitting he was concerned for his family. His mother, his aunt, his uncles, his cousins. What if Zaheer decided to attack the Northern Air Temple.

"I know that look. It isn't sexy at all." Korra said hugging Kanan from behind. "What's wrong."

"I'm worried. What if Zaheer decides to attack the Air Temple?" Kanan says concerned.

Before Korra could answer they both turned around spotting an airship landing, a large group of people emerging from the airship and two very familiar young men among them.

"Bolin? Mako?" He said as Asami emerged from the nearby building.

"Kanan! Korra! Asami!" Bolin shouted happily, running towards them with his brother. "You guys are okay!"

Mako hugs Asami as Bolin hugs both Korra and Kanan. "Easy there Bolin." Kanan said as he and Korra wrenched themselves from his grip.

"It's really good to see you both." Korra said.

"Good." Lin said as she and the others came out of the building as well. "You guys aren't dead."

"Don't get all mushy on me, Chief." Mako said, before bowing to Tonraq, who nods back at him.

"Oh my gosh!" Bolin said, sliding toward Lord Zuko. "It's Lord Zuko! I can't believe it." He tries and fails to suppress his laughs of excitement.

"Forgive my brother." Mako said, pulls Bolin aside. "We're just really honored to meet you, Sir." The two brothers bow respectfully to Zuko.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Zuko said with a bow.

"So what happened to you two?" Kanan asked.

"We were captured by Zaheer and taken to Ba Sing Se." Mako explained. "We were there when the Earth Queen was overthrown."

"We heard about that." Korra said. "How did you escape?"

"Zaheer let us go. He is headed to the Northern Air Temple as we speak." Mako explained. "He said he's gonna wipe out the new Air Nation and everyone in it. Unless you turn yourself over to him."

Korra listens to the news in disbelief and worry. "Zaheer's threatening innocent lives just to get to me." She said.

"He could be bluffing." Tonraq argued.

"I knew it. These fuckers are dead!" Kanan shouted. "When I'm done with the Red Lotus it's gonna make the Air Nomad genocide look like a joke."

Korra grabbed Kanan's hand. "Calm down. We can still warn them over the radio."

"I agree." Mako said. "Unfortunately, we don't have a radio on the airship."

"There's a portable radio on the jeep." Tonraq said. "But the signal will never make it to the Northern Air Temple."

"We need to get back to the Metal Clan, they will have a strong radio transmitter." Kanan said. "We'll radio Suyin on the way."

"Let's go." Korra said. "Hopefully she can get a hold of Tenzin at the air temple by the time we get to Zaofu."


Zaofu

Everyone got off the airship and walked to Suyin.

Korra asked. "Did you have any luck getting through to Tenzin?"

"No one's answering." Su was worried. "What is Zaheer is already up there? I never should have let Opal go."

Lin put a comforting arm around her sister. "It's going to be okay Su."

"I hope so." Su stated.

A while later everyone stood around the radio.

A metal bender said. "We have a strong signal, but no one's answering."

"I'm going to ready an air ship ready. With a full force of the Metal Clan's security backing us, we can take them." Su firmly stated before walking away.

"No Su. I'm going there by myself." Kanan said shocking everyone.

"Are you crazy! You can't possibly take them on by yourself!" Lin yelled at him.

"You seem to forget who I am." Kanan said before walking outside.

Outside Korra caught up with Kanan.

"Wait!" She said to her lover/boyfriend.

"Korra I can't waste any time." Kanan turned to her.

"I know." She said giving him a deep kiss, which Kanan returned.

"Promise me you'll return." She said as they stood there their foreheads connected.

"I will. Be careful." Kanan said as they separate and he jumps on Byakko, as the Liger flies away.

Back at the radio room everyone converged in the room as Bolin spoke to Meelo on the radio.

"Who's this?" Meelo asked.

Bolin was exasperated. "I've been telling you this for a while now. It's Bolin."

"Bolin's not here right now. Can I take a message?" Meelo asked.

Korra grabbed the microphone. "Meelo this is no time for jokes, get your dad NOW!"

"Hello, this is Tenzin." Tenzin replied.

"Tenzin, listen to me carefully. Zaheer is on his way to the temple, and he's coming for the airbenders. You must get everyone out of their immediately. Drop everything. Leave. Now." Korra quickly explained.

"Oh no." Tenzin stated.

"What? What's going?" Korra asked.

"It's too late. He's already here." Tenzin stated.

"Hold on, Kanan is on his way!" Korra shouted.


Northern Air Temple

The airship, carrying the Red Lotus, was flying outside the window to the radio room.

"What is it daddy?" Meelo asked.

"We need to get everyone out of here." He picked up his glider. "Stay close to me."

They flew out the window landing before Bumi, Kai, and a few other airbenders.

"What's going on Tenzin?" Bumi asked

"It's Zaheer. Round everyone up. We need to get to the Bisons and evacuate immediately." Tenzin ordered.

In the meditation room Kya was leading a meditation class that included Opal and the other airbenders.

Bumi opened the door. "It's Zaheer. We have to leave."

On one of the bridge exits they almost made it to safety until Ming-Hua took Opal captive.

"No one's going anywhere."

On the other bridge exit Tenzin was getting his family out when Zaheer landed on the bridge and Ghazan climbed up the side coming to stand beside his leader. Tenzin moved to stand protectively in front of them.

Zaheer smiled. "The entire family is here."

Everyone had been gathered together.

Zaheer looked at Tenzin. "It is an honor to meet a true Airbending master."

"What do you want from us?" Tenzin asked firmly.

"I want nothing at all. In fact, if you all cooperate, then you'll walk out of this situation unharmed." Zaheer replied.

Kya angrily said. "If you're not after us, then you're after Korra."

"Very perceptive." Zaheer praised. "We're after your son as well."

"I will never let you get them." Tenzin firmly stated.

Zaheer said. "You don't have a choice."

Tenzin replied. "Yes, I do." He stood and blew them all back. "Jinora, get everyone out of here. Bumi, Kya, help me hold them off." Tenzin jumped back as P'Li sent down a Combustion Blast from the air ship. "Stay out of her line of sight. Go!"

The airenders ran as P'Li took more shots at their retreating forms. The airship went after the airbenders as Tenzin, Bumi and Kya squared off with Zaheer, Ghazan and Ming-Hua.


Tenzin began blasting the Air Bender. Zaheer climbed to higher levels with Tenzin following him. He got Zaheer's foot forcing him to hit the roof of one of the buildings. Zaheer got up and continued to lead Tenzin higher as their battle continued.

With Kya

Kya ducked under some earth flung by Ghazan and made it out as Kya blasted the lavabender in the back with some water. She quickly had to defend herself as Ming-Hua came at her with ice now on the end of her water arms.

She avoided the swinging ice before breaking one of them and flinging it back at the Red Lotus member. Ming-Hua redirected the ice, sent another icicle, and a large chunk of ice right back at Kya.

Kya was able to deflect and break the icicles before being pushed back to the wall and taking a huge chunk of ice to her midsection. Ghazan then took a large chunk out of the floor and flung it at Kya.

She ducked under the rock and grabbed water from the fountain hosing both outside and right over the edge. Kya walked out holding her right shoulder as the water flowed down after them.

Ghazan was thrown back to the top as Ming-Hua slowly rose having created six arms and smiling at Kya.

"I'll wipe that smirk off your face, Bitch." Kya said as she shot out a pressurized jet of water from her mouth, something Ming-Hua didn't expect as it blasted her backwards.

"Alright focus Kya. You've seen Kanan spit out Acid before." Kya thought to herself as she concentrated and out of her mouth came out an acidic mist.

Ghazan got caught in it as it literally melted some of his skin off as he screamed in pain and ran from the acidic mist.

Ming-Hua stood outside of the mist, thinking what kind of waterbending technique it was. She jumped back as Kya flung her fist at her, Kya's fist hitting the ground splitting a large portion in half.

"What the hell?" Ghazan exclaimed as he jumped away before the ground swallowed him.

"Thanks Kanan." Kya silently thanked her son for teaching her his chi control.

With Bumi

Bumi used his airbending and blasted Ghazan into a nearby garden. The lavabender quickly stood up and launched several earth spikes at Bumi, which Bumi dodged.

Ghazan cursed inwardly, he could finish this fight faster if he could use his lavabending, but Zaheer said that they weren't allowed to kill anyone.

Ghazan flipped back dodging several airblasts from Bumi. Ghazan stepped on the ground, a torrent of earth spikes heading for Bumi. Bumi jumped away only for several large rocks to hit him and launch him into the temple.

With the Airbenders

P'Li kept sending Combustion Blast down on all the Air Benders.

"I can't wait any longer." Kai said as he took his glider.

Jinora was concerned. "What you are you doing?"

"Whatever I can." He ran out. "Get to the bison and get out of here."

Kai managed to dodge a blast from P'Li and make it to the edge. The Red Lotus member sent down another blast. It missed him striking the nearby and sending the young airbender off the cliff.

He opened the glider and flew at her avoiding the shots she sent his way. Everyone ran at the bison as P'Li spotted them. Kai saw this and glided back around. P'Li was about to hit everyone when Kai air kicked her.

Her shot struck the cliff above them. P'Li glared at Kai and took aim at him sending a shot his way. Kai noticed it coming and spun as much air around himself as he could before the shot hit him. He then fell out of the sky.

Jinora had tears in her eyes. "Kai! No!"

The airbenders made it to the bison only for P'Li to scare them away with another Combustion Blast. They were at her mercy now.

With Kya

Kya focused a whirlwind of watter around her arm shaping it like drill, she jumped away from Ming-Hua's torrent of ice spikes.

Kya lunged forward her fist connecting with Ming-Hua's face, sending her flying through several walls.

"That wiped the smirk of your face now didn't it." Kya remarked, before an airblast sent her into a pool of water. She got out to face Zaheer.

Has he already beaten Tenzin. Zaheer didn't waste any time and got close to Kya, starting his barrage of punches and kicks, some of which Kya was able to dodge some not.

Kya couldn't use her waterbending, Zaheer was constantly keeping up with her leaving her no breathing room. She took hit after hit, Zaheer was a master martial artist after all. With an air punch he sent her into a nearby wall, he then rimmed his fist into her abdomen making her cough up blood, before knocking her to the floor with a kick to her legs.

Seeing as she couldn't move anymore he turned to leave, to help the others.

With Bumi

Bumi was getting exhausted, Ghazan easily kept up with anything. Fed up Ghazan bended some lava from underneath Bumi as it shot up like geyser. Bumi airbended himself out of the way landing on the edge of a cliff. He turned around to see Ghazan and P'Li cornering him. With a simple kick Ghazan sent a large earth wall towards Bumi, as P'Li fired a Combustion Blast in front if Bumi, causing him to fall from the small cliff.

He then used his remaining strength to airbend below him. He managed to prevent himself from smashing into the ground, but he still hit it hard enough that it prevented him from getting back up.

With Tenzin

Zaheer dodged an airblast just in time from Tenzin.

"Ah, you've freed yourself." Zaheer remarked after he trapped Tenzin under a pile of debris.

The fight continued and he eventually knocked Zaheer to his knees. He moved in to continue until P'Li shot the wall to his right knocking the Airbending master down into a courtyard.

He caught himself with his airbending and faced Zaheer only for Ming-Hua to hose him with water. Ghazan then sent rocks at him knocking him down. He got to his feet and spun avoiding the Combustion Blast P'Li sent his way.

This enabled Ming-Hua to nail him with some ice. He was surrounded by everyone as slowly rose to his feet blowing both Ghazan and P'Li away.

He pivoted past Zaheer's air strikes and blew Ming-Hua back. He spun generating air that he coated himself in before P'Li shot him with a Combustion Blast. It wasn't strong enough.

He was slammed into a wall, but still Tenzin refused to go down. He slowly rose to his feet with his back against the wall. He had injuries everywhere and was panting heavily as the Red Lotus came to stand before him.

Zaheer said. "Give up. It's over."

"As long as I am breathing, it's not over." Tenzin firmly stated.

He shot out a blast of air at Zaheer only for the Red Lotus member to dodge it and airblast Tenzin back against the wall. Every member just began wailing on the exhausted Tenzin.

With Kai

A baby bison licked Kai's face waking him up. He saw that he was hanging from a tree by his left foot. He got himself out and the bison caught him.

He pets the baby bison. "Thanks buddy. Yip Yip."

He rode off in search of his fellow Air Benders.


Kanan with Byakko was soaring through the air.

Worry etched on Kanan's face.

"Is there no way to get there faster!?" Kanan yelled over the wind.

"There is one. It's dangerous and unstable. Tōga told me to teach you, only if you were ready." Byakko began.

"Focus your thoughts on the specific place and then focus your lightning. It's a teleportation technique."

Kanan didn't want to waste any time. He didn't care if the technique was dangerous or unstable.

He focused all of his thoughts on the Northern Air Temple. It's large temple, the gardens.

A bolt of lightning shot into the air. Kanan was gone.

"Let's hope this worked." Byakko said as he sped up towards the Northern Air Temple.


Zaofu

"Why are we still here? We should be going to the Air Temple." Tonraq exclaimed.

"Kanan is heading there he can handle it. I know he can." Korra said determined.

"But what if he can't get there in time?" Mako asked.

"Then there's only one way. I'll surrender myself to Zaheer." Korra stated as silence befell the room.

"We'll find another way." Tonraq stated.

"I've thought it over a great deal. I have to do this." Korra stated.

"You can't seriously expect us to sit aside and let Zaheer take the you." Asami stated.

"The world has been out of balance for far too long. It needs the Air Nation." Korra began.

"I won't let Zaheer destroy it and everyone we love. Help me save the airbenders. Then you can worry about saving me." Korra finished.

"We're with you." Tonraq finally said.

Korra nodded and went to radio Zaheer.

Korra went to the radio room alone and used the radio. "Zaheer, are you there? It's me."

"I've been waiting for your call. So, do we have deal?" Zaheer asked.

"Yes, in exchange for their freedom, you get me. Name the place and how this goes down." Korra stated.

Zaheer said. "Listen carefully."


Cliffhanger.

As you've probably seen I've made some characters more powerful. Kya and Korra.

See ya.
