Legend of Korra Season 1 Book: Air - Episode 6 - And the Winner is…
The Ferret Vs the Wolf-Bats are playing tonight, it's going to be a tuff match for Korra and the bending brothers but they have be working there butts off to get where they are now and nothing will stand in their way.
"Good morning, citizens of Republic City. This is Amon. I hope you all enjoyed last night's Pro-bending match because it will be the last. It's time for this city to stop worshipping bending athletes as if they were heroes. I am calling on the council the finals, or else there will be severe consequences."
Except that.
So the four head straight to City Hall before the council could close the meeting, with Korra in the lead they enter with the meeting quite loudly.
"Korra, you shouldn't be here," Tenzin states as the group walk in. "This is a closed meeting."
"As the Avatar, and Pro-Bending player, I have a right to be heard." Korra replies as they walk to the councilman. "You can't cancel the finals."
"I know winning the championship means a lot to you, but as far as I'm concerned, we need to shut down the Arena down."
"What about the rest of you?" Korra questioned. "Tarrlok, there's no way you're backing down from Amon, right?"
"Actually, Tenzin and I agree for once."
"But for how long you Weasel-Snake," Kovu said in his mind, while glaring hatefully at the man.
"The Council is unanimous. We're closing the Arena."
"No!" Mako spoke out.
"You can't!" Bolin spoke out too.
"I don't understand," says Korra. "I thought you of all people would take a stand against Amon."
"While I am still committed to bringing that lunatic to justice, I will not put innocent live at stake, just so you and your friends can play a game."
"Pro-bending might only be a game to you," Mako spoke. "But think of what it means to the city. Right now the one place where benders and non-benders gather together in, in peace to watch benders…"
"Beat each other up," Bolin took over. "In peace! Its an inspiration to everyone!"
"I appreciate your naïve idealism," Tarrlok replied. "But you're ignoring the reality of the situation."
"The reality is if you close the Arena, you let Amon win!" Korra countered.
"Yes, exactly what she said! Yes," Bolin agreed.
"I'm sorry," Tarrlok says. "But our decision has been made. This meeting is adjourned."
Tarrlok picks the gavel up, a metal cable spats it in half, everyone looks at the door way, Chief Beifong retrieved her cable.
"I can't believe I'm saying this," Lin spoke. "But I agree with the Avatar."
"You do?" Tarrlok queried.
"Yeah, you do?" Korra asked.
"I expected this kind of cut and run response from Tenzin but the rest of you? Come on, show a little more backbone. It's time that the benders of the city displayed some strength and unity against these Equalists."
"We must prevent the conflict between benders and non-benders from escalating into all-out war!" Tenzin argued. "The Council is not changing its position, Lin."
"Now, just a moment, Tenzin," Tarrlok interrupted. "Let us hear what our esteemed Chief of Police has in mind."
Kovu was not liking the sound of that.
"If you keep the Arena open," Lin started to explain. "My Metalbenders and I will provide extra security during the championship match. There's no better force to deal with the Chi-Blockers. Our armour is impervious to their attacks."
"Are you saying that you will personally take responsibility for that safety of the spectators in the Arena," Tarrlok questioned.
"I guarantee it."
"It is hard to argue with Chief Beifong's track record. If she is confident her elite officers can protect the Arena, then she has my support. I am changing my vote. Who else is with me?"
The other council members changed their vote beside Tenzin.
"The Arena stays open. Good luck in the finals."
Korra, Mako and Bolin cheered while Kovu just glared at Tarrlok.
"And good luck to you, Chief Beifong."
Tenzin leaves the table, walks to Lin.
"A word please Lin."
And the two head out into the corridor.
"Tarrlok's playing you, and I don't want to see you get hurt."
"I know what I'm doing and the risks that come with it," Lin replied.
"In that case, I'm going to be by your side during the match," Said Tenzin.
"You don't need to babysit me."
"It's for Korra, I want to make sure she's safe."
"Do what you want, it's not like I've been able to stop you before," Lin says and walks away.
Korra and Kovu walk towards them, Lin keeps walking
"Excuse me Chief Beifong?" Korra spoke. "I wanted to thank you for your help. It really means… a lot." Korra watches Lin leave not bothering to stop, leaving Korra with a deadpan face.
"What is her deal?" Korra scoffs. "Even when she's on my side, she's against me."
"I've known Lin since we were children," Tenzin replied. "She's always been… challenging."
"What did your father do to make her hate the Avatar so much?" Korra asked.
"My father and Lin got along famously. I'm afraid her issues… are with me," Tenzin replied.
"What do you mean by-" Kovu says but stops. It clicked. "No… Way! You and Beifong?!"
Korra got it too.
"(Gasps) Wait a second. It all makes now! You and Beifong, Beifong and you. You two were a couple!"
That caught the Airbender off guard.
"What? How… where'd you two get that idea?"
"Your wife," the siblings sync.
"Criminy!" Tenzin muttered. "I'll have to have a word with her."
"So Pema stole you from Beifong?" Korra cooed.
"Go Pema," Kovu muttered underneath his breath.
"I'm surprised our esteemed Chief of Police didn't throw her in jail."
"Oh, she tried," Tenzin says. "Anyway, Pema didn't 'steel' me. Lin and I had been growing apart for some time. We both had… different goals in life- Why am I even telling you two this? It all happened a long time ago and we've moved passed it."
"Hmm," Korra says. "Apparently Beifong hasn't."
"What do you," Tenzin stammers. "Of course she has… anyway, this is none of your business!"
Tenzin walks away from them.
"See you at home, Mr Heartbreaker!" Korra calls out.
The two start laughing.
The time has come for the final match of Pro-bending, Kovu thought it would be best to not wear his Fire Ferret Medic outfit he is wearing his normal getup, two waterskins on his lower back and his machete strapped on his shoulder. He made sure that there was not anything out of the ordinary, he passes by two police officers that he remembers from being in the police station when they got arrested on day one in the city.
He enters the Fire Ferrets box, the trio have their uniforms on, and from the looks of it he is seeing Bolin giving Pabu a… pet talk?
"Now I know there's a big crowd, but don't be nervous, you're gonna do great. I believe in you."
Pabu chirps, tilts his head.
On that note..
"You guys ready?" Kovu asked.
"Yeah were ready!" Bolin cheered.
"I did a final look around everything seems to be fine," Kovu explained. "And if anything goes wrong you guys get out of the ring and fast."
"We got this big Bro," Korra says putting her helmet on. "We'll be fine."
"Good luck," Kovu says as the Water Tribe siblings fist-bump.
The Fire Ferrets made it to the ring, the crowd roars with cheers, and Pabu preformed a few trick, cute but not enough to win a crowd, when the Wolf-Bats appeared they wore Wolfbat masks, howling as fireworks go off. Kovu thought that was the most stupidest thing he has ever seen in his life.
Okay Shiro do the thing!
"The champs and challengers face off at the centre line. And here we go!"
DING!
"Tahno tries to clean the Avatar's clock with some dirty water-boxing! Ming shakes off Mako's attack and returns the favor."
Korra and Mako are knocked into Zone 2.
"Shaozu gets fancy, but Bolin ricochets a disk off the ropes and says, 'No thank you, sir!' the Waterbenders slug it out, looking evenly matched. Tahno gets a little too worked up and unleashes a deluge on Bolin that will certainly elicit a foul."
The Wolf-Bats advance into Fire Ferret territory. The crowd boos.
"Or apparently not!"
"What the- are the Refs part Badger-Moles!" he says looking at Taka and Pabu who are sat on the railing.
"And the Wolf-Bats advance despite Tahno exceeding the Waterbending time limit. A questionable call by the officials. Ming trips up Mako with another dirty trick!"
"The Ferret brothers are backed up to Zone 3 and the Wolf-Bats smell blood. Looks like Tahno snuck in an illegal icing move, but once again there's no call. I don't know what the Refs are watching, but it's obviously not this one."
"No kidding," Kovu argued.
"Ooh, a splash and crash send the Avatar to Zone 3 as well."
The Wolf-Bats attack while Korra is still down, Mako tries to defend with a fire shield, but the two get knocked out.
"It's a Knockout! The Wolf-Bats win the Championship for the fourth year in a- Hold on a second, folks! Scratch that. The Ferrets are still alive! But just barely!
Korra just grab the ledge just before they fall, got a hold on Mako's shirt before he fell, with one swing she throws the Firebender up back on to the ring, that effort made her fall down to the water below. Once Mako was back on the ring he Firebend kicks Tahno while the Waterbender was distracted, knocking him back a Zone just before the bell rang for the end of the first round.
"What a unbelievable move! These Ferrets aren't just bending the elements, they're bending my mind! The underdogs survive to see round two!"
"Just by the skin of the teeth," Kovu sighed in relief.
Once the Ferrets were back in the ring, Mako called for a time out, so the Ferrets can form a huddle to talk.
"What's wrong with these Refs?!" Korra huffed quietly.
"They've been paid off," Mako replied. "It's the only explanation, someone wants us to lose."
"If the Wolf-Bats are going to fight dirty, then so should we."
"No, we can't, the Refs have it out for us. If we're going to win this thing, it has to be fair and square."
"(Sigh) That's no fun, but alright."
Round Two.
"The opening salvo is a brutal brawl as both sides give it their all! But once again, Tahno sneaks in a little ice to get the upper hand."
Seeing his sister getting the better of that cheating pompous Waterbender is making him anger. But he just knows that Karma will get to him sooner or later.
"Wowza! Those look like illegal headshots to me!"
Mako just managed to dodged them, the bell rang, making it a tie, the tie breaker is to be decided by the coin toss.
"Please be Waterbending," Kovu repeated as his crossed his fingers."
"The Fire Ferrets win the coin toss!" the Ref says. "Which element do you choose?"
"I'm taking this one," Korra says. "Let's go! You and me, pretty boy."
"I thought you'd never ask."
"Yes, thank you Spirits," he says looking up. "You got this Snowflake."
Korra and Tahno are in the centre, and start cycling each other, waiting to see who strikes first.
"Come on little girl," Tahno taunts. "Give me your best shot."
And Korra punched the water at him, dodged but was hammered by quick kick of water right in the face, so strong it knocked him and his helmet right off.
"Hmm chump," Korra taunted.
"Ha-Ha," Kovu cheered. "That's what you get chump, don't mess with the Water Tribe."
"One round a piece! Who wants it more?"
DING!
"The Wolf-bats fly out of the gate, swinging with bad intentions. The challengers are showing a lot of heart, but the champs are really starting to find their rhythm now. Can the Ferrets hang in there with best, especially when the best are, frankly, getting a little help from the Ref's? It's all down to this final round! Mako is leaving it all in the in the ring, but it looks like Tahno and Ming are up to more shenanigans!"
The two Wolf-bats created a rock n water attack knocking the Fire Ferrets out of the ring.
"Oh, this has gone too far! That water had rocks in it!"
"Knockout!" Ref calls out.
"THOSE CHEATING SONS OF"
"Well folks, it's a controversial call, but the Wolf-bats notch a nasty knockout to win the match! For the fourth year in a row they'll be crowned tournament champions!"
Back at the Fire Ferret box, the door quietly opens, Kovu managed to calm down after his outburst, he felt his hair at the back of his neck go up but why?
HISSSS!
Taka and Pabu fur are stand on end, Kovu noticed, he ducked down, and high kicks the Chi-Blockers in the chest, uncorks both his waterskins and attacks the other two by wrapping the water around their arms and legs freezing them.
BUZZZ
He dodged another foe, grabbed the masked citizen's metal glove just before it touches him, and punches him in the face knocking him out, while removing the glove.
AHHHHH!
He looks down at the pool, Korra, Mako and Bolin are getting electrocuted by Amon's second in command, knocking the trio unconscious. Getting the water from the metal two buckets, putting it in the waterskins, he hurries out of the box and into the hall way, with Taka and Pabu on his shoulders.
"Monkey Feathers!" he cursed as he sees several more Chi-Blockers.
They charge at him.
"Folks, there is some sort of electrical disturbance in the stands. Metalbenders cops are dropping like bumble-flies! There appear to be masked members of the audience wielding strange devices on their hands."
"One of them is in the booth with me right now, folks. He is levelling one of those glove devices at me now, and I believe he is about to electrocute me. I am currently wetting my pants."
Kovu defeated the Chi-blockers, took him a bit of time but he did, at some point Pabu disappeared, his first thought was he is going to Bolin. He noticed that several Cops that are stationed outside the VIP Box where unconscious, and the door was slightly open.
He quietly walks to it, and carefully looks in the gap, Asami and her father appear to be fine but four Chi-Blockers are holding hostage. However luck was on the Waterbenders side, the Chi-Blockers had their back turned, he had the element of surprise.
He sneaks in slowly, the Sato's noticed but did say or move to give away Kovu's position, once he was in the centre of the room, he makes. He softly whistles like calling a dog, the four turned around, and attack.
Kovu dodged the first strike, he used the water from one of his waterskins to freeze the first Chi-Blocker by the feet, making him fall to the floor, the rest soon join in, with them being in a small room, it did restricted Kovu movements but it did not stop him knocking them like ragdolls, soon enough he had them all captured in ice.
"Are you two alright?" he asked the Sato's.
"We're fine," Asami replied. "Are you alright?"
"Fought at least a dozen or so Chi-Blocker and nearly getting zapped by some metal gloves in the face, I doing fine," he says recovering from the fighting, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.
"I believe I have your attention," Amon speaks threw the mic.
Kovu heads to the railing, seeing the Equalist flags around the stadium, Amon with several Chi-Blockers are standing in the centre of the ring, the Wolf-Bats are nowhere to be seen, he looks to where korra and the boys were, there are gone too.
"So, once again," Amon continues. "The Wolf-Bats are your Pro-bending champions. It seems fitting that you celebrate three bullies who cheated their way to victory. Because every day, you threaten and abuse your follow non-bending citizens, just like the Wolf-Bats did to their opponents tonight. Those men were supposedly the best in the bending world. And yet it only took a few moments for me to cleanse them of their impurity."
Kovu looked away, he hated that they cheated to get what they wanted, from the way they have been playing in their carer as Pro-benders, he thought they did not deserve the power of one of the Elements but still Amon should not have the power to take it away.
"Let this be a warning to all of you benders out there. If any of you stand in my way, you will meet the same fate."
The crowd gasps at Amon's threat.
"Now, to my followers… For years, the Equalists have been forced to hide in the shadows. But now, we have the numbers and the strength to create a new Republic City. For centuries, benders have possessed an unnatural advantage over ordinary people. But thankfully, modern technology has provided us with a way to even out the playing field. Now anyone can hold the power of a Chi-blocker in their hand. My followers and I will not rest until the entire city achieves equality. And once that goal is achieved, we will equalize the rest of the world. The Revolution has begun!"
Kovu had enough of this, he backs away to face the Sato's.
KABOOM! They shielded they eyes from the explosion.
"You two need to get out of here!"
"But Mako and the others."
"I'll find them and meet up with you, you and Mister Sato evacuate the stadium with the rest of the crowd," he says making his way to the door.
As he runs down several hallways, hoping Korra and the others are alright, he turns the corner he came to a halt. Another half a dozen Chi-blockers.
"Oh Kyoshi's boots!" Kovu complained. "More of you guys!"
They attack but stopped by a fire blast and a couple of rock disks from behind them knocking them to the floor.
"Nice timing guys," Kovu thanked the brothers. "Where's Korra?"
"She went after Amon," Mako replied. "Chief Beifong is with her."
"Then lets go, they could use some backup," Kovu says as they head down another hallway.
As the boys run, they noticed that the Chi-Blockers have disappeared, good that they don't have to fight to get by, but bad that they just left must mean that Amon has got away. They head the stands, they spot Korra and Lin and make there way down.
"Korra!" Kovu calls out.
She turns around seeing the boy heading towards.
"Thank the Spirits," Kovu says as he hugs his sister. "I'm glad you're alright."
"Me too," says Mako joining the hug.
"Me three," Bolin says hugging them too.
"I can't believe Amon did this," Lin speaks to Tenzin. I played right into his hands."
"He played us all," Tenzin replied. "Republic City is at war."
Kovu heard everything what the Airbending Master and Chief of Police said, things are going to be a lot worse then before, but right now he was thankful that his friends and sister were safe.
There you have it chapter, again sorry for not posting sooner.
