"It's been 28 years since Avatar Korra created the third spirit portal, restored the air nation to its former glory and saved the United Republic" Tears began to form in the air bending master's eyes as she reminisced about her long time friend "Korra's time came to an end far too soon" One single tear flowed down the face of Jinora "But knowing her she would not want us to cry, she would want us to laugh, celebrate and remember her for what she was, a legend" She looked up to scan the large courtyard of people but yet only four caught her eye. Mako and Bolin two former teammates of the late avatar, next to them were Korra's family; her wife Asami Sato and son Shou. "We may not know if there is a new Avatar, but there will be a small team consisting of myself, my siblings, Shou Sato and the Chief Kuvira of the Republic City police force."

Jinora continued on for another 10 minutes before everyone disbanded to attend the festivities. Asami through her blurry vision and tears noticed Mako and Bolin walking back over to them. Mako walked past Shou and to Asami. Shou and Mako had never been all that close whereas him and Bolin always got along.

"Hey Bolin"

" Hey there Shou, hows your mom doing?"

"Not great, she's been a wreck. I've been trying to get her mind off of it by doing stuff down at Future Industries and working on blueprints to help out Batarr Jr. but it's not working, everywhere we go she thinks of mom. I'm at a loss."

"Shou" Bolin started while putting his hand on the grieving mans shoulder "If I know Asami, and I'm pretty sure I do, she'll want you to succeed in finding Korra's successor." During this Shou began to zone out and tear up, so many people were placing their hopes on him and five others. He had only just turned 25 a few months ago. Bolin noticed his tears and stopped monologging. " Hey no, no, no crying for you, you've gotta stay strong for your mom" Bolin then embraced the struggling child of a legend.

Jinora stood talking to Kai when hand was placed upon her shoulder, a gloved hand. It was Kuvira. Jinora told Kai to go get them drinks. Despite Kuvira's rather shady and ruthless past Lin Beefing chose her to be the next chief with the okay of the current President Zhu Li Moon. They had all not forgotten about what happened when she was given power last time but Kuvira had changed drastically with the help of therapists and an overwhelming amount of rehabilitation. Practically losing the stone cold personality everyone knew her for.

"Jinora, I really wish you would stop treating me like the enemy, I'm here to help and mean it this time. Besides there is no gain for me to harm anyone anymore."

"Are you really so narrow-minded? Huh? Half of the reason Korra is gone is because of you" Jinora began to raise her calm voice every so slightly "When your spirit cannon created that portal Korra was so guilt ridden that she didn't take you out, it slowly ate away at her."

"Why are you blaming me for the fact she couldn't let one mistake go. When I came back she didn't completely trust me but she gave me a place to stay when I had nowhere to go and-" Jinora cut her off

"You think she wanted to do that? You almost killed her. She felt like she had to, she felt like it was her obligation due to her being the Avatar. Just because everyone else trusts you doesn't mean I have to" she turned away and walked into the crowd of people. Kuvira for years had been trying to change people's perspective of her. She went off to talk to Shou.

"Hey kid" Kuvira said waking up to Shou and placing a hand on his shoulder "I know everyones been asking how your mom is handling all this but, how are doing" she asked in a concerned voice

"I've been a lot better, Bolin tried to cheer me up but then started ranting about his days as Nutuck" he chuckled "but I'll be fine; When are we leaving for the earth kingdom?"

"Well I was thinking around two weeks from now. I've got an airship reserved-"

"You don't need to take an airship" Kuvira was puzzled by this

"What do you mean by that?"

"You seem to forget that my mother owns Future Industries, we've been working on a new airship. Honestly the only thing new about it is that its larger on the inside" he said with a smirk

"Think you could go take me to see it? I want to test the safeness of it"

"I think we just need to paint it, so yeah totally. I need to get my mind off this for a minute"

The two hopped into Shou's Satomobile, It had a custom half Southern Water Tribe and half Fire Nation paint job. Korra had always told him to never be ashamed of his heritage. The two talked and reminisced about Korra the entire drive to a Future Industries warehouse Kuvira looked at Shou, she had never really noticed it but he acted so much like his mother. Attitude was only half of it Shou looked a lot like Korra. Even though Ravva had Korra combine small part of hers and Asami's souls he looked more like Korra. The only thing he got from Asami that she could see was his creative personality and slightly lighter skin tone. He was a fairly accomplished waterbending master even at the age of 25, Korra showed him how to heal, but one thing remains how did he learn to bloodbend without the full moon? Yakone was dead and so were his sons. Kuvira discovered this one day as he was practicing on a mouse but never asked him how.

"So listen I've got to ask, where did you learn to bloodbend? Did a Triple threat teach you?" Hearing this from Kuvira made Shou almost slam on the breaks.

"What're you talking about" he said with a nervous chuckle

"C'mon kid don't lie to me, it's not flattering. I saw you a few weeks ago"

"Ugh please don't say anything. No one taught me if anything I found out by accident last month. I was seeing if I even could and well it turns out I could"

"Relax I won't say anything but don't tell anyone people don't always keep things hidden so well. Besides why would I rat out my Godson."

"Thanks. Oh hang on I've got to talk to security really quick." Shou left the car and walked over to a small building and began talking to the guard inside. "Okay I've got the keys to the warehouse"

The two entered the large building. In the center of the room was a massive airship that towered over every other strange machine in the room. Shou walked Kuvira over to the airship

"Kuvira this thing is my pride and joy. I've assembled most of it and designed it as well. I expanded the passenger areas and used some of my grandfather's plane ideas as well" Shou opened it and gave Kuvira a long tour of every nook and cranny in the airship. She gave her safety inspection and it passed, meaning that they could take it once it was painted.

When they stepped outside the airship the room went dark. A voice came over the intercom, laughing. Not normal laughing though, almost a sickening laugh of a thousand near-death people.

"Well hello there, I hope I've got your attention Chief and oh- what's this the son of Avatar Korra" the voice squealed at this discovery. Kuvira was officially in defense mode and so was Shou "Oh fun days to dance upon the ruins of lights." Kuvira leaned towards Shou

"You wouldn't happen recognize this voice?" Shou nodded that he didn't

"Excuse me Great Uniter! I wasn't done talking" the voice took a long inhail "have fun searching for the new Avatar my friend"

The lights came back up. The two were noticeably shaken and ran for the doors. They drove back to the estate and waited for everyone to return from the memorial.

Kuvira looked around as they entered the house, it had been years since she was last inside. The reds, golds and blacks all tied every room of the house together. The parlor was one of the most impressive rooms in the house not counting the grand staircase in the vestibule. The parlor was decorated in several hues of red and above the hearth was a family portrait, in it Korra stood with her hand on Asami's shoulder who was sitting with an infant Shou in her lap. Within the hour everyone came back, Shou and Kuvira wait till everyone sat down. The two discussed who should tell Asami. Kuvira said she would. Asami, Mako and Bolin all sat on a couch next to the hearth, Shou was getting warm tea for everyone.

"Asami? I've got something to tell you"

"What's that?

"Well Shou took me to see the new airship and well-"

"He did what?" Asami noticeably became agitated "Shou knows that project has been a secret for years"

"He was showing it to me to take on the trip instead of taking two airships, but that's beside the point. Asami have you been having security problems since Korra's been gone?"

"No we have pretty amazing security Su related it to Zaofu's once. Kuvira what's going on?"

"Oh my- Kuvira this is taking forever. Mom we were threatened after we stepped off the airship" Shou came in with the tea "and before you ask no we didn't get hurt, yes we are still going to the earth kingdom. Any questions?"

everyone looked at each other, Shou is usually pretty calm and content unless in a fight. Mako broke the silence

"What do you mean by threatened" Kuvira chimed in to answer Mako

"Well it was more of an empty passive aggressive threat rather than an outright threat. I'm not going to let this deter us from finding the next Avatar." she said in an intimidating voice. Kuvira, Bolin and Mako never all

completely got along even after her drastic personality change. Shou had never known Kuvira to be intimidating.

"Kuvira, what did that voice mean when it called you 'The Great Uniter'?" Kuvira's blood ran cold and Shou could feel it. Everyone looked at each other in complete and utter silence. Asami told Shou she'll tell him later. Shou prodded and said it couldn't be that bad. A small smile appeared on Bolin's face. Shou looked overly unhinged at the sight of the smile. He was about to snap and everyone could tell, in a sad attempt to calm him Kuvira tried handing him a cup of tea only for his to throw it into the next room and storm out.

This worried Asami as he almost always was a spiritual person and never angry like this. She chalked it up to him losing Korra. Everyone was hurting it was only natural for him to be in pain as well.
