Here you go chapter 3, this took some thinking when it came to the chasing and fighting, hope I've done it justice.
Just a little more info about my OC and his animal companions.
Snow Leopard Hyenas live a solitaire life more like our world Snow Leopards, He found Rama one day when he was fishing on his own, around the time after Korra found Naga.
Snow Leopard Hyenas are two feet tall then the Polar Bear Dogs I'd say just under 7 feet for the males and 6 feet tall for the females. They look and act more feline, to tell the difference from male and female are the tails, males have small tails like the Hyena while the females have the Leopards. Both of them have the spiked up black manes on the back of their necks, throats.
I actually found a drawing what Rama looks like that I did years ago when I was looking over some papers, I'll see if I can get the image up somehow on DeviantArt or something for you lot to see.
I do not own legend of korra, only my OCs and the change of selected scenes that are not in the real episodes.
Enjoy
Legend of Korra Season 1 Book: Air - Episode 3 - The Revelation
It is at the crack of dawn; as Korra sleeps peacefully, not too far from her bed is Naga curled up in a white ball that you could mistake her for a pile of snow.
Kovu enters the room quietly, siding the door behind him before walking towards them; Naga's ears go up, she opens her eyes to see him, he scratches on the top of her head and hears a comforting whine from his sister's Polar Bear Dog as he walks closer to Korra.
"Korra… Korra?" he whispers while gently shaking her shoulder.
Realizing that she is not going to wake up like this; Naga comes over and gives her a big sloppier lick on Korra's face and kept on doing till she is awake.
"Ok," korra groggily says as she slowly starts to sit up. "Okay Naga I'm up, I'm up, what time is it?
"6 AM" Kovu replies.
"Ugh Spirits," Korra says while she falls back down on her bed. "Why did you wake me up?"
"You have Pro-bending training with Mako and Bolin at the Stadium."
"Oh yeah, that's right," she says as she rubs the sleep from her eyes.
"Come on you don't want to be late."
As Korra sits up again, she groans as she gets out of bed, she was never a morning person.
(I can relate)
"Yeah, yeah mornings are evil, come on" he says as he leaves the room.
After finally getting her off the island just in time to get to the stadium before the brothers started training. However, there is a reason why Kovu came with Korra to the city; since the first day away from home, they only have Water Tribe money and learning fast that it is not going to get far with what they got.
So Kovu has been looking in the newspaper job section every morning since living at the island, so he thinks having Republic City Yuans would be best while they are in the City.
So, he, Rama and Taka are looking for the an herbal store run by a man called Mr Zhang, after finding the right street, he can not see a sign of the shop. So, he dismounts off Rama and spots an elderly store owner opening her shop.
"Excuse me madam," Kovu says getting her attention. "Can you tell me which shop Mr Zhang's herbalist store is?"
"The store is the last building on the right side of the street near the corner," she replies while pointing out the building.
As Kovu follows the woman's direction; the sound of broken glass can be heard, a man in his late 50's is thrown out the door, he lands roughly on the road, four men in red walk out and surround the poor man.
"This is the last time you refusing to pay us Zhang," said one of the men in red, to who Kovu thinks is in charge of the group.
"You and your cronies have been causing nothing but trouble to the people down the street," Zhang replies while struggling to get up.
"You need to be taught a lesson," said the boss of the gang. "Either pay us what you owe or you end up in the hospital, so what is it going to be?"
"I think you and your friends should walk away and no one gets hurt," Kovu says drawing the thugs attention.
They see the Waterbender a couple of metres away from them, the guys in red start to laugh.
"This is not your business boy," said the boss thug. "You're on Agni Kai territory, so unless you don't want to be turned into charcoal, get lost."
The Agni Kai thugs, get into there fighting stances while igniting the hands, proving that all four of them are Firebenders.
"That is not going to happen," Kovu replies. "Because by the time you start the fight you are going to run with your tails in between your legs."
"Who do you think you are Water Tribe?"
"I guess you are going to find out the hard way," Kovu responds by getting into Tai Chi fighting stance.
"Get him boys!"
The three other thugs unleash fire blasts at him; Kovu quickly gathers the water from his water skins, blocking the fire blasts, and with fast arm movements, the water moves in lightning speed to the three Firebenders hands freezing them solid.
The Firebenders look at each other, then they looked at the hands while trying to heat them up, suddenly finding out that it is not working.
"Nice try," Kovu says, right before sweep kicked underneath their feet, knocking them to the floor.
The boss goes for a sneak attack however he too is stopped by none other than Rama, the Snow Leopard Hyena charges at him, knocking him to the floor face first, Rama places one of his front paws on the Triad's back, the Firebender hears the animal growl.
"It is wise not to try anything," Kovu says as he freezes the free Firebenders inside ice leaving their heads exposed.
A police siren can be had above them, Metalbenders quickly land on the ground, Captain Saikhan leading the squad.
"What is going, you again!" Saikhan says, spotting Kovu.
"Good morning officer," kovu calmly responds.
"Do you want a criminal record boy?" The captain argued.
"It's not like I want too, but as you can see these four Firebenders were threatening and beaten up this defenceless man," he replies while helping Mr Zhang to his feet.
"It's true officer," Mr Zhang speaks up. "If it wasn't for this young man I would be in a much worse shape than I am in now."
"All right," said the captain. "But next time don't intervene with police business, even if you are the Avatar's brother. Arrest these four!
And so, the Metalbenders, take the triads into custody after Kovu thaws them out and Rama letting go of the boss, and the young Waterbender helps Mr Zhang inside his shop.
Luckily Mr Zhang's injuries were not that serious and Kovu patched him up, as a result Zhang gives Kovu the job, after working out the time and days for his schedule, and after working several hours he has earned his first pay.
Noon
Now he is back on the island, the water tribe siblings have shared tales on what they did today, Korra telling him that the Fire Ferrets need to pay 30,000 Yuans to go with the winnings, and the brothers are trying to find the cash. And Kovu told her about his day. As the sun is starting to set, he is watching Korra practising through the spinning doors, with Jinora and Ikki.
Every day the young Avatar is improving on her Airbending skills, it is shown as she can now easily get through the gates rather gracefully.
"Good, light on your feet," Jinora calls out.
As Korra exits the gates, he and the young Airbenders see Mako heading towards them.
"Ooh, he's cute." Jinora says. "Korra, is that the handsome Firebender boy that drives you crazy?"
Kovu holds backs a chuckle after hearing that, Korra is now realising that Mako is here and is walking right towards them.
"Does he drive you crazy in a bad way," Ikki quickly asks. "or does he drive you crazy like you like him?"
Korra quickly kicks down on the earth, launching the Airbenders in the air, Korra recovers her posture just as Mako stops behind her.
"Oh… hey, Mako," Korra greets him after clearing her throat with a cough.
The kids land safety and Kovu tells them to run along.
"You seen Bolin," Mako says, getting straight to the point.
"Nice to see you too, and no, I haven't seen him since practice. Think something's wrong?"
"I don't know. Bolin has a knack for getting into stupid situations."
"Reminds me of someone else I know," Kovu says, while looking at his little sister.
Korra gives him a 'don't even think about it' look, knowing he would gladly tell tales of their childhood.
"See you two later," Mako sighed as he walks away.
"Wait, I- we could help you look for him," Korra suggests.
"Nah, I got it."
"Hey, cool guy, let us help you. We can take Naga and Rama."
"Who are they?" Mako asked.
"Our best friends," Korra replies.
"And two great trackers," Kovu added.
They are now walking down the streets of the city; Korra and Mako are on Naga while Kovu is on Rama with Taka sat on the Leopard's head, before leaving the island Kovu quickly attached his bow and arrows onto Rama's saddle, and getting his machete blade, strapped around his waist the handle on his right side.
"So, your best friends is a Polar Bear Dog and a Snow Leopard Hyena… somehow that makes perfect sense"
"While take that as a compliment, city boy," says Korra.
"When you live in the South Pole, anything can happen," Says Kovu while patting on the side of Rama's neck.
The have come across a small square where there is a statue of Fire Lord Zuko, several small groups of adults going on there day, and small group of stray kids playing.
"Well, this is his usual hangout," Mako says as he gets off Naga.
The Water Tribe siblings get off their animal companions, and follow Mako who is heading to the small group of kids.
"You guys seen my brother around here today?" he questioned.
"Perhaps," one of them speaks. "My memory's a little foggy. Maybe you can help, clear it up."
"You're good, Skoochy." Mako replied as he gets a Yuan note out of his pocket. "A real pro."
He gives the kid the note.
"Yeah, I've seen him," Skoochy replies putting the note away.
"When?" Mako asked again.
"About noon."
"What was he doing?"
"He was performing some kind of monkey-rat circus." Skoochy started but raises his hand. "And then…"
Mako was about to get his money out again, Kovu stops him, the Waterbender takes out his own money and gives it to the boy.
"Then what happened?" Kovu questioned this time.
Skoochy leans in closer to the Firebender so he can whisper to him.
"Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash. Bo took off with him in his hot rod. The Triple Threats, the Red Marsoons, the Agni Kais, all the Triads are muscling up for something real big. Now that's all you're getting out of me!
He and the rest of the kids run off.
"What was he talking about Mako?" Kovu questioned.
"Sounds like there's a turf war brewing, and Bolin is about to get caught right in the middle of it.
After waiting for a street trams to pass by, Korra and Kovu hurry their animal companions down the surprisingly empty streets.
"So where are we headed?" Korra asks.
"The Triple Threat Triad's headquarters," Mako answers. "Hopefully Bolin is there and nothings gone down yet."
"Triple Threat Triad?" Korra questions. "I beat up some of those yahoos when Kovu and I got into town. Why would Bolin get tangled up with-"
Naga and Rama spot some kind of rodent running across the road catching their attention, and soon chasing after it.
"Whoa, Naga!" Korra pulls on the reins trying to get back in control.
"Rama, heel!" Kovu commands trying to gain control as well.
Ignoring the owners commands they chase after the rodent, when it climbs up a lamppost they see what it is more clearly.
"That's Pabu!" Mako calls out.
"No, Naga!" Korra says as she pulls back on the reins, stopping the Polar Bear Dog from getting any closer to the ferret. "Pabu's a friend, not a snack."
The Fire Ferret slides down the post, meeting the two giant South Pole carnivores, after a quick getting to know you, Pabu jumps onto Naga's head, hurrying onto Mako's shoulders.
"We gotta hurry!" He tells them.
They finally made it to the headquarters of the Triple Threat Triads.
"Something's not right," Mako stated as he stealth his way to the front door. "There are usually thugs posted out front. We better be cautious."
Mako leans near the door, signalling the two to come closer.
Korra kicked the doors in, knocking both of the hinges Mako looking a bit shocked that she just did that, once inside the place is a complete mess, tables and chairs have been knocked over, rugs have been moved out of place, even some paintings have fallen off the wall.
"Looks like a fight broke out," Kovu says, as he kneeled on one knee examining the floor. "Not too along as well, it finished about 20 minutes ago at most," he finishes as he stands up again.
"Bolin?" Mako calls out. "You in here?"
Suddenly they hear the sound of an engine ravelling.
"It's coming from the alleyway," Kovu said.
They cut across the room, Korra kicks in the door again that lead them into the alley behind the building. They quickly spot green goggled masked people wearing black outfits on motorcycles, behind them is a cargo truck, the rear doors were open, seen the people bound and gagged and among them is Bolin.
One of the masked people from inside the truck closes the doors, it soon takes off.
"BOLIN!" Mako calls out.
The people on the motorcycles throw canisters towards the three benders, green smoke comes out, blocking their vision.
The motorcyclists start to follow the truck while the benders have been distracted. All three of them are coughing as the smoke starts to break.
"Naga! Come!" Korra calls out.
"Rama! Come on boy!" Kovu calls out as well.
Back on the animal companions, they chase after the kidnappers, both Waterbenders get the carnivores to sprint, they soon catch up to them but they still have to find a way to stop them.
"Steady Rama!" Kovu orders his animal friend.
Rama growls in response; Kovu lets go of the reins, grabs his bow from behind his seat, picks up an arrow from the quiver, and prepares his aim at the back wheel on one of the motorcyclists bike, he shoots, the arrow snaps in half but seem to knock the cyclists steering for a moment.
As he prepares to fire again; Mako leans sideways and shoots a small fireballs at them, but they dodge the fire each time by weaving back and forth across the road while still heading forward.
Korra lets go of Naga's reins, punches both of her hands forward at the same time, using Earthbending to make the road an obstacle course. But instead they quickly recover from the attack, one of them expertly jumped up one of the rock ledges and land safely.
They soon enter a big empty area; three of the bikers broke off from the group, turn around in a controlled skid, two of them throw bolas at them, tangling at Naga and Rama's legs, sending the two of them tumbling along the concrete. The riders have been thrown off, Kovu dropping his bow in mid-air, the siblings quickly recover from the rough landing, both of them on one knee as Mako slides towards them. The three masked people dismount their bikes, and they face-off the benders.
Each to a single opponent; Kovu quickly gathers water and engages at his opponent, the masked figure was fast, faster than any opponent he has ever faced, as the Waterbender tries to freeze his challenger, the person spiral jumps over him, striking hard and fast at the pressure points on his upper back, Kovu felt a mix of pain and numbness once the strikes were hit.
He soon realises that the water he used in his attack fell to the floor all of a sudden, then he knew exactly what it was, quickly changing tactics, he draws out his machete, and moves to a defensive strategy. From the corner of his eye, he sees that Korra and Mako's opponents are doing the same fighting style.
Even though Kovu has learned quickly to keep his distance, the threat strikes at his right arm holding the blade goes numb but he still holds onto the weapon, he is kicked back and falls to the ground hard, noticing that Mako and Korra have fallen to the ground before him, he tries to get up but only succeeds by getting on one knee, he holds his machete with his left hand.
All three of the masked people are twirling bolas, getting ready to capture them as well. But they forgot one thing; that they just angered two carnivorous predators of the South Pole, Naga and Rama has chewed the way out of their ropes, they jump towards them, cutting them off from their Masters, the two unleash thunderous roars telling them to back off, Pabu and Taka jump off their backs, and make the impression of roars too.
Getting the message, they make a quick getaway but not before leaving behind more canisters full of green smoke to cover their escape.
Kovu gives a sigh of relief now that the danger has passed, Rama hurries over to him and helps him to stand up right, by pushing him upwards with his head.
"Thanks bud," Kovu says to his spotted friend.
He puts away his blade, starting to get some feeling back in his right arm, he notices red dots appearing on his arm, showing where he was hit.
He hears Korra grunting, turns around to see her punching the air.
"I can't bend," she says, she tries again, nothing. "I can't bend!"
"Calm down," Mako says. "It'll wear off, does guys were Chi-Blockers. They're Amon's henchmen."
"Amon?" Korra questioned, while rubbing her bruised arm.
"That guy with the white mask?" Kovu asked.
"Yeah, he's the leader of the Equalists" Mako answered.
"What did they want with the triple threats?" Korra asked again.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Mako says as he looks down the alley. "I can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!"
Feeling sympathy for the Firebender, Kovu places his hand on Mako's shoulder.
"Mako, we are going to save your brother." Kovu says to him.
"We promise you that," Korra added.
As soon as they could; they started to follow the trail, but soon losing it, street after street after street they searched for any sign of the Chi-Blockers, but nothing, they were exhausted.
"We've been out all night," Korra says while tiredly rubbing one eye, pulling a panting Naga to stop. Kovu pulls Rama to a stop as well. "No sign of him."
"We have to keep looking," said a drained Mako. "But where?"
For a moment they try and think on what to do next, at the same time Korra and Kovu thought of something and share a look.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked his sister.
"The park?" She replies.
"The park."
"What?" Mako said in confusion.
"We have an idea!" Korra says while getting Naga to start walking followed by Rama.
Only a couple of hours till Dawn, they arrived at the park, stopping at a nearby water fountain, Naga and Rama start lapping up the water quenching their thirst, with Pabu and Taka on their heads carefully balancing themselves so they can have a drink as well.
As Kovu refills his water skins, Korra starts to explain the idea to Mako.
"The first day we got into town, I ran into an Equalist protester over there," she said as she points to where the protester was on that day they encountered him.
"And you think they'll know where Bolin is?"
"It's the only lead we have," Kovu answered. "All we can do is be patient."
As they wait, they decided to sit down on the grass underneath the tree, the animals have fallen asleep, who can blame them after running around the city all night.
Korra and Mako are resting against Naga, while Kovu is resting against Rama, still wide awake.
"So," Korra says breaking the awkward silence. "Why is Bolin running around with the Triple Threat Triad anyway?
"Well, we used to do some work for them back in the day." Mako answered.
"What?!" Both Korra and Kovu sync out of shock.
"Are you some kind of criminal?" Korra continued.
"No, you don't know what you're talking about! I just rang numbers for them and stuff. We were orphans, out on the street. I did what I have to do to survive and protect my little brother." Mako replied angrily.
"I'm sorry," Korra apologised. "It must have been really hard… can I ask… What happened to your parents?"
Mako thought about it for some time before responding.
"They were mugged, by a Firebender. He cut them down right in front of me. I was eight."
They can see how much pain it's causing him just talking about it.
"Mako…" Korra says not knowing what to say.
"Bolin's the only family I have left, if anything happened to him…" He could not bring himself to finish that sentence.
"Nothing is going to happen to him," Kovu speaks, getting his and Korra's attention. "I know you've only known us for a few days, but if there is one thing about us, is that the people of the Water Tribe are determined, we will find your brother, when we make a promise we keep it."
"Thanks," Mako replied. "Both of you."
Morning, 9:23AM.
"Equality now! Equality now! We want equality now!"
Was the first thing Kovu overheard as a wake-up call, he turns his head to where his sister is, however he was not expecting to see her still fast asleep, resting her head on the Firebender's shoulder and Mako still asleep as well, resting his head on top of hers.
"If only I had a camera," he says out loud, as the two start to wake up.
The two look at each other, and within the second they were wide awake realising what they were doing, Korra backing away the furthest, Kovu chuckles at his sister's reaction.
"Non-Benders of Republic City…" The same voice from before shouts out again, getting the three Benders attention.
"That's the guy," Korra points out.
"Amon cause you to action! Take back your city! It's time for…" He gasps as he sees the Water Tribe siblings walking towards him. "It's you again! You cannot silence me, Avatar!"
Korra swipes her hand at the man's microphone, causing him to make a surprised yelp as it falls to the floor breaking into pieces.
"I think she just did" Kovu says.
"Shut your yapper and listen up. Our friend got kidnapped by some Chi-Blockers. Where'd they take him?" Korra demanded.
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" The protester stubbornly replied.
"Oh, I think you do" Korra replies back.
She raises her leg, stomps down hard, a block of the earth sends the table that the protester was standing on into the air leaving the man on the floor, the papers from the table are scattered in the air, slowly falling to the ground. The protester tries to gather them all up quickly but Mako and Kovu grab one each in mid-air.
"Witness the Revelation. Tonight 9 o'clock" Kovu read out loud.
"What's this Revelation?" Mako questioned the protester.
"Nothing that concerns the likes of you three!" The protester spat back.
Kovu had enough of this guessing game and so had Korra, she grabs the protester by the shirt, lifting him off the ground with just one arm.
"As a matter of fact, it does concern us," Kovu responds in a slight annoyed tone.
"Spill it!" Korra demands.
"No one knows what the revelation is, and I have no idea what happened to your friend. But if he's a Bender, then my bet is he's getting what's coming to him."
"Where's it happening?" Mako questioned again.
A police whistle goes off.
"Hey! What's going on over there?" The officer calls out from afar.
"The Avatar's oppressing us! Help!" The protester responds.
"Let's scram" Korra suggests while letting go of the protester.
Mako quickly grabs several of the flyers as Korra and Kovu get back on the animal companions, soon making a quick getaway once Mako is on Naga's back.
After making sure they were not being followed by the police; they settle down at a bus stop near one of the street tram bridges. Korra and Mako are sat on the bench, while Kovu sat down cross legged on the floor, all three of them trying to figure out where the meeting is taking place.
"Why didn't the Equalists put a location on these?" says Korra.
"Probably because they don't want just anyone waltzing into their big Revelation, whatever that is?" Says Mako.
"Clever," Kovu says as he turns one of the pages over, "Look at the backs, there's four different images."
He and Mako turn over two more pages.
"So, it's a puzzle?" Korra points out.
"Yeah, of a map!" says Mako.
He takes the four images and walks to the bus stop map on the wall, he soon finds the match.
"Bingo! That must be where it's going down."
Night-time, at the warehouse district, 8:55PM.
The trio, have got themselves disguises; Mako has rolled down his sleeves and has a hat on, he gave his scarf to Korra, who is wearing an old trench coat, and is also wearing a hat. Kovu has removed his half sleeved robe, machete and fur pelt, and is wearing a black jacket similar to Mako's. Instead of a hat like the other two he is wearing a bandanna, covering all of his hair, his braid tucked in as well.
They hide in the shadows seeing several people walking into the warehouse.
"This is the place," said Mako.
"Wait," Kovu speaks. "We cannot walk in as a group; we'll draw too much attention. I'll go first, you two follow shortly after."
"Are you sure?" said Mako.
"Better safe than sorry," the Waterbender replied. "I'll meet you two near the entrance inside."
"Be careful," Korra says to her brother.
"You be careful," he replied, while hiding his necklace underneath his jacket, and Taka hides in his pocket.
They see him walk towards the building.
As he makes his way to the door he notices the guard is blocking the entrance.
"This is a private event," the guard states out. "No one gets in without an invitation."
"You mean this?" Kovu says as he brings out the leaflet from his pocket showing it to the guard.
"The revolution is upon us, my brother," the guard says while taking the leaflet out of Kovu's hand.
He steps aside letting in the disguised Waterbender in the building; he keeps on walking till he looks down on the factory floor, with many people. He could not believe how many people hated Benders, it made him wonder what happened in their lives to make them hate them so much.
He turns around to see that Korra and Mako have made it inside.
"I knew a lot of people hated benders," Mako speaks. "But I've never seen so many in one place. Keep your eyes out for Bolin.
They make their way down into the crowd, the lights turn on bringing the stage to life, an unknown announcer speaks out.
"Please welcome your hero, your saviour, Amon!"
The crowd roars with cheers, seven people rise onto the stage, and there they saw him, the Leader of the Equalists, the cheering started to calm down as he walks to the microphone.
"My quest for equality began many years ago," he speaks. "When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich. And none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for the Firebender who extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did, that Firebender took my family from me… Then, he took my face.
The crowd murmurs at that part.
"I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since."
The two siblings looked at each other with questioning looks not knowing to believe the story are not.
"As you know," Amon begins to speak again. "The Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City."
The crowd boos, Kovu moves slightly closer to his little sister, shielding her from being seen, Korra adjusts Mako's scarf to cover her lower face.
"And if she were here," Amon carries on talking, the crowd dies down again. "She would tell you that bending brings balance to the world. But she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world is suffering. It has been the cause of every war, in every era.
Kovu tightens his hands into fists, holding back his anger, knowing the history of many battles not just the hundred year war, there is some truth to what he is saying but it is the Avatar that has brought an end to them, and if he is not mistaken several people who have started the wars were Non-Benders. He looks at his sister to see anger within her eyes.
"But that is about to change," Amon continues to speak. "I know you have been wondering, what is the Revelation? You are about to get your answer.
The trio share a look at one another.
"Since the beginning of time, the Spirits have acted as guardians of our world." Amon continued. "And they have spoken to me. They say the Avatar has failed humanity, that is why the spirits have chosen me, to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make a equality a reality, the power to take a person's bending away… Permanently.
Kovu felt a cold chill down his spine.
"That's impossible," Korra says. "There's no way…"
"This guy's insane," Mako says.
They soon see more people being brought up on stage.
"Now, for a demonstration." Amon speaks once again. "Please welcome Lightning Bolt Zolt, leader of the Triple Threat Triad and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic city."
The crowd boos once again; they see Bolin on stage.
"There's Bolin!" said Korra.
She was about to step forward but her brother stops her from advancing.
"We are outnumbered" he says.
"He's right," Mako speaks. "We can't fight them all, we need to be smart about this."
"Then come up with a game plan, team captain" Korra replied.
They turn their attention back to the stage.
"Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing Non-Benders, but his reign of terror is about to come to an end! Now in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending."
One of the Equalists unties Zolt.
Zolt quickly started firing at the masked man; however he easily dodged the attacks, the Firebender gathers electricity, he shoots it towards Amon, again he dodged it, grabs hold of Zolt's wrist, the hand that is still firing the lightning, he twists Zolt's body, forcing him to stumble to his knees. Amon grabs hold of Zolt's neck with his left hand and places his right thumb on the Firebender's forehead.
The lightning slowly turns to fire, then the fire disappears altogether, he falls to the ground with a thud. Zolt slowly gets up to his knees, he is completely exhausted, he takes a swing to Firebend, but no Fire.
"Wh…What did you do to me?" Zolt weakly wailed.
"Your Firebending is gone. Forever!"
The crowd gasps.
"The era of Bending is over. A new era of equality has begun!"
The crowd cheers; Kovu is in a cold sweat, he could not believe what he just saw, there has to be explanation behind this, he looks at Korra and she is absolutely petrified, he notices that she has grabbed hold of his sleeve trying to steady herself.
He looks back at this stage, the next Triad is being untied so Amon can remove his bending as well, he follows down the line to see Bolin at the end, there is still time.
Kovu places his hand on top of Korra's quickly snapping her out of her shock state.
"Any ideas yet?" Korra asks Mako.
"I think so," he answers. "See those machines? They are powered by water and steam. If you two create some cover, I can grab Bolin without anyone seeing. Then we duck out of here."
"Works for me," Kovu replies as he walks through the distracted crowd.
Mako was about to go forward, but Korra stopped him for a moment.
"Mako, good luck."
"You, too."
Korra follows her brother, the crowd still distracted on what's happening on the stage; they slip through down the corridor finding the steam pipes, kovu looks up to see pipe screws above as well as at the bottom.
"I'll take the ones above us," he says as he starts climbing up the pipes.
They soon get to work, unscrewing the bolts trying to get the steam out, the pipes start to hiss, the steam is slowly filling the corridor.
"It's not enough!" Korra says under her breath.
"Hey, you!"
From above, Kovu stays hidden, as the guard who was in charge of letting people into this rally has not noticed him, only his sister.
"Is there a problem, my brother" Korra says trying to improvise the guard while Kovu is silently letting more steam out of the pipes.
"What are you doing back here?"
"Uh… Looking for the bathroom?"
So, the old 'I had to pee' excuse did not work, the guard brings out a wrench, and starts swinging it at her, she dodges each swing. Quickly removing Mako scarf, she uses it to get hold of the guard's hand and throws him into the pipes, unleashing lots of steam and knocking him out unconscious as a bonus.
"Thanks, this should be enough!" She says.
Unknown to her, two Chi-Blockers are about to attack, unfortunately for them; Kovu drops down landing on the two Equalists knocking them unconscious too.
"You know, you really need to come up with a better excuse" Kovu suggested.
"We will talk about that later," Korra replies.
They both gather the steam as one, and they send each a single hand forward, the steam following the movement shoots pass them.
KABOOOM!
They hear the screams of the crowd through the walls, that's the sign to go.
"Let's move!" Kovu tells Korra, while removing his jacket and bandanna, Taka moves back on to his shoulder.
Korra follows her brother's example by removing her disguised as well, they both run down the corridor, after a quick turns and corners they made it outside. Screams of pain can be heard, the brothers are being attacked, they quickly hurried to the scene.
"You Benders need to understand, there is no place in the world for you anymore." Said the man with the black moustache.
An earth slab shoots up from the ground hitting the Equalist Lieutenant, sending him into the warehouse wall, he lands roughly on the floor, he looks up to see the Avatar and her big brother.
"I wouldn't count us out just yet" said Korra.
Kovu puts his right thumb and index finger together, brings it up to his mouth to make a loud whistle.
"Rama! Naga! Over here!" He calls out.
In seconds they showed up, Kovu jumps onto Rama while Korra helps Mako getting on Naga's back, once they are both on, they get them into a gallop. Bolin sits up, sees them heading towards him, he lets out a scream, Naga grabs him by the back of his collar while still running, and carries the Earthbender.
"Stop… I want… to be… on… your back." Bolin says, as he is being bounced around as the Polar Bear Dog keeps on running.
Kovu grabs Bolin by the arm, Naga lets go as he pulls the Earthbender up and puts him on the back of his saddle.
"Thank you" Bolin says as he holds on to the Waterbender for dear life.
They get the animal companions into a sprint, quickly getting away.
After getting the brothers back at the Stadium; Korra and Kovu made it back to Air Temple Island, they quickly find Tenzin talking to two White Lotus Members.
"Thank goodness," Tenzin says while walking towards them. "I was just about to send out a search party. Are you two alright?
"Mm-mm." Korra responds by shaking her head.
"What happened? Did you find your friend?
"We did," Kovu answers. "We were at an Equalist rally. We saw Amon.
"What?!"
"He can take people's bending away. For good!" Korra speaks.
"That's… That's impossible. Only the Avatar has ever possessed that ability."
"But we saw him do it." Korra speaks again.
"I believe you. I don't know how Amon has achieved this power; this means the revelation is more dangerous than ever. No bender is safe."
DUN-DUN-DUUNNNNN!
So, till next time. X
