I look at the scene before me, it is a deserted area that smelled like death. I knew at that very moment this was a horrible idea.

"This is a bad idea" I commented not trying to fall off the cliff since it looked pretty long distance below us.

"We're going to get in big trouble for this" Nala whispered to her best friend. "I know "Simba responded looking around.

"Wait for what! Simba the-" I interpreted going near the two cubs. "What, you're scared that we're going to get in trouble goody?" Simba mocked. I was slightly irritated by that remark, Aang went in front of me however knowing I'll lose my cool soon

"Amy relax, he's just a kid"

"Okay, Simba-" I started however, when we turned around they were both gone.

"The cubs, they're gone!" I could see the panic in Wan's eyes, Korra stepped in front of us all.

"We're wasting time! We need to go now, if we're going to find them" We ran hoping we weren't too late, we trembled on some rocks and bones. We were okay. Korra stopped in front, I glanced down to see her claws started to come out, clenching to the ground beneath her.

"Korra, what's wrong?" I asked pacing towards her.

She moved her head towards the direction that she wanted us to look at. We all turned that direction to see a spirit, but darker and a little simpler and terrifying. Its body had spikes all over, its teeth looked like they can crush a person, It's eyes bloodshot red. I gulped as fear consumed by everybody.

"Dark spirits" Korra and Wan spoke.

"You guys know what these are?" I yelled at Korra

"Yes, Amy stay put," Wan commanded.

"I'm not a child you know" I retorted,

Wan started to earth bend using his paws, they all attacked at the same time, Aang bent a gust of wind to push the spirit back. Its reflexes were lightning fast, it moved away from the blast of air in a millisecond.

Wan pulled out a chunk of earth off of the ground and kicked towards the spirit, luckily wan had a good shot and chuck knocks it. It fades away for a moment. He smiled cockily knowing that he got it, however, it appeared again. Wan grunt his teeth and groan in annoyance.

"This is a-GAH!"

I threw a bub of light it was bright enough to keep the spirit away for a bit and blinding everyone for a moment. "Sorry!" I replied sheepishly, I could see Wan's eye contact towards me. "AMY!" Wan shouted.

"I'm in the team too, Yes i may not be the strongest bu-AH!" I felt a direct hit to the gut I fell back, hitting the ground with a thud. I felt dizzy, my eyes couldn't focus, Great spirits…Please make everything okay after this.

I lost train of thought until Aang bugged his head on my body.

"Amy? You here!?" he asked trying to wake me up with his paws, I got up though still a little dizzy.

"What happened?" I rubbed my paws against my head, trying to soothe the hard fall.

"Well, Korra used some magical bending skill I have ever seen, It stopped the dark spirit from killing us all. soon"

"It's called spirit bending, It purifies dark spirits" Korra explained while having a soft smile.

"Whoa" I yelled shocked, Wan looked at me with that face." I know" I sighed knowing he would be mad at me but he wasn't, he just slightly smiled. "Never do that again..." wan said simply, I nodded understanding.

Then we started to hear a slow clap, confused we looked where the clapping was coming from.

"Well done, korra," A voice said she gasped her eyes widen "Korra what's wrong?" I asked quickly, she seemed to be frozen in place.

No, he can't be alive, he just can't!

"I was a bit impressed at the way you four handled the dark spirit, Taka. " The man came out smiling wickedly, he looked in his mid-forties, He had light blue-gray eyes and brown hair. I study him closely, his eyes were almost soulless though I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Unalaq," Korra said with malice.

Yep, they must have beef with each other I thought to myself.

I was surprised at her tone, it was filled with hate that I never saw from her, even if I just did meet her. "Avatar" He directed that same tone back.

"Who is this guy?" I decided to ask since I had a pretty good feeling we'll be seeing him more than once.

"Three words, my evil uncle." Korra turned to back Unalaq. "But you were dead, Republic city!"

"Foolish Avatar, you really think spirit bending can stop me? Even after that trick you did, I came back. the dark era will begin soon."

"The dark era?" I asked confused, He laughed mockingly. "That's why I'm here little Amy"

"How do you know my name" I yelled, he scoffed at me "does it matter? Of course, I know the four in my way"

"Vaatu has a little message for you, that I'm sure you would love to hear" Unalaq started

"What may that be?" wan asked getting defensive,

he smirked, "Long live the King," he smirked then he vanished into thin air, we all tried to stay calm as we tried to find Simba.

The next day was a hard one, Simba went out with Scar. Thank spirits his father found him and Nala, Though we did have a few glares, it's better than being kicked out.

Today we were training on some of our bendings, Wan had a lot on his mind, so did Korra thinking of unalaq' warning, personally, I thought nothing of it yet we went to the gorge to check on Simba, but when we got there it was too late.

Scar lurched Simba as he laid beside the father's lifeless body.

"What have you done?" I gasped it all came together.

Long live the King.

"I didn't mean too" Simba sobbed, I felt tears running through the fur.

"Of course no one means to kill a family member, but the king is dead, and if it wasn't for you he would still be alive."

Wan felt enraged "how dar-"

I had to calm him down but was Korra's fired up as well, knowing all of this was her uncle's doing. They wanted to go in and help the cub.

"What will your mother say?"

We were lost for a moment, at this moment where we were all engaged "what are we going to do now?" Simba said filled with guilt.

"Runaway never return, " Scar said to Simba as he ran from Scar. He lost his pride, his rightful place, family everything. It killed me inside, he was a kid and worst part.

We could stop this

We ran knowing that we needed to find him,
