The Legend of Korra and Zakai Book One: Air

Prologue : The Dark Avatar

(A/N: Minor discrepancy on the Age.)


Soon we see darkness before we see some of the Avatars previous lives first up was Kyoshi a Earthbending Avatar that saved her island from a Earth Empire Warlord named Chin The Conqueror as she defeated him but we hear a male Narrator talking to us as he named each element.

Narrator: Earth.

Soon Kyoshi earthbends one rock to the right side of the screen, and earthbends another one to the left side.

Narrator: Fire.

Soon we see an old man as he goes by Roku as he is the Avatar of the Fire nation and soon we see him then use his Firebending as three fire punches to the right side, and turns around and bends an arc of fire.

Narrator: Air.

Soon we see Aang airbends in a breakdance motion, and airbends out of his hand and foot while standing on one leg.

Narrator: Water.

Soon we see a girl then waterbend a glob of water to the side, and she bends another one around herself in a circle, and she sends it flying at us. Soon we see a picture of Team Avatar as the camera pans across them as we see Sokka, Suki, Toph, Katara, Zuko, and Finally Aang.

Narrator: Long ago... when I was a boy my mentor told me Avatar Aang, and he told me the story of how he and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War.

Then the tattoos on the picture of Aang glow as he went into his Avatar State it is a defense mechanism, designed to empower the Avatars with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars. Soon we fade to a map of the Avatar world.

Narrator: Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, a society where benders and nonbenders from all over the world could live and thrive together in peace and harmony.

Soon we see a city and it is huge full of iron vehicles and airships.

Narrator: They named the capital of this great land, Republic City.

Soon we zoom across the water away from the city as we see an older looking Aang overlooking the city on Aang Memorial Island.

Narrator: Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life. But sadly, his time in this world came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew but little did everyone know where there is Light there is also Darkness.


Republic City

Soon we see Darkness as it is night out and then we hear beeping noises as there was cars in Republic City as we see people from different ethnic groups walking around and then we look at a man walking through the street wearing important looking clothes that states he's wealthy.

Wealthy Man: [Sighs] Nothing like the sound of money jingle in your hands.

As he wasn't paying attention he then bumped into a kid that was Eight years old and grimy and dirty as this meant he was an orphan and homeless as he didn't care for anyone that is lower then him.

Wealthy Man: Hey! What where you're going filth!

Soon he kicked the kid as he landed at the wall and grunting hard as it hurt him as he looks away clutching his chest from that kick.

Kid: S-Sorry.

Soon the kid ran away from him and then we look into the boy as he had a mischievous smirk as he then has a pouch full of money. He wasn't just a kid he was a thief and a good one too.

As he made his way to his hideout which wasn't much as it was full of junk and rain tarps as he slept on a floor with a junky mattress as he was then looking at his haul as it was a lot of money to keep him fed.

Thief: He he, that guy had a lot of money on him I'm going to be eating Ramen tonight!

Soon he made his way down to some of the kids and they looked hungry as then the Thief then made his presence known to them.

Thief: Hey guys! Why the long Faces?

Soon we see two kids as he knows them as they know him as the one with green eyes and grim on his face.

?: Zakai

Soon the Thief that we now know is Zakai as he knows the two.

Young Zakai: Bolin, Mako.

Mako is the older Brother of Bolin they both lost their parents at a young age just like Zakai the three have been together for some time now.

Mako is the boy on the left with the Red Scarf from his father who was murdered along with his mother. His eyes are Tangerine and his hair is Black and skin is light

Bolin is the one on the right he has Black Hair, his eyes are Pale Green and his skin is light.

Young Mako: Where have you been? You weren't at the hideout?

Young Zakai: Oh, you know I have been getting money.

Soon Zakai then showed them the pouch of Yuan. It had both Metal and Flat Pink Paper as it had denominations that are available as both paper bills and metal coins. The paper bills are deep pink in color and feature an image of Avatar Aang on the obverse, with an image of Republic City's City Hall on the reverse.

Young Bolin: Woah! That is enough to feed us for the week.

Soon we see some Triad Members, The Triple Threat Triads (T.T.T For Short) come by as they have heard about the money.

T.T.T Triad Member #1: Hey, what's this I hear about some money.

Soon Zakai and Mako and Bolin are weary of the Gang members

T.T.T Triad Member #2: I think I heard money was involved.

Soon there was four goons as they close in chuckling at making some easy money.

Soon the three look at them as they prepare to fight but unfortunately they were bigger and stronger. The three were beaten and bruised as gang members leave along with their stolen Money.

T.T.T. Triad Member #3: Hehe to easy.

Soon Zakai got up before trying to attack them with his bare hands but was soon knocked down and then they took him and threw him to the wall before long they beat him some more and left him for dead then the others. Mako and Bolin nother the less he still got up beaten and broken but surly the T.T.T Triad members were shocked that he was still standing up even from the beating.

T.T.T. Triad Member #4: Still up? Man this kid needs to learn to stay down.

T.T.T. Triad Member #1: Let me handle this.

Soon as he got close suddenly Zakai then closeso his eyes and then his eyes turned Red as they glowed to which the first Gang Leader then gets hit by Violet Fire. A unusual Firebending color for most Firebenders.

T.T.T. Triad Member #2: He's a Firebender!

Soon the Water Bender Triad then tries to deal with him but soon was defeated by and Earth Bending And hitting him in the gut chest and then face as a few teeth were nocked out.

T.T.T. Triad Member #3: That's impossible! He can't be a Earth Bender?!

Soon after that the third was blown away by the Wind bending from Zakai but his wind was gray then white.

T.T.T. Triad Member #4: Air?! Who are you?! What are you?!

Soon Zakai then used water bending as his eyes were still bloodshot Red and didn't respond to him as he blasted him back out of the Alleyway as all the Triads were defeated.

Soon as all were defeated Zakai fainted as he fell to the ground from those powerful Bending moves even at a young age.


Unknown Location

Soon we see Zakai in some sort of Forest as he is slowly waking up and gets up as he looks around and hear unnatural sounds as he decides to Walk around as he was scared as he decided to hide under a trunk as he is in some unknown area as he has no idea what to do.

Young Zakai: [Sobbs]

?: Hey, are you alright?

Soon Zakai looks up and we see a normal human as he had a lamp in his hand and he wore Earth Kingdom Clothes and white Hair and Amber eyes.

Young Zakai: Who– Who are you?

?: Well, I'm Iroh, I thought you were the Avatar but you aren't him or is it her now? Anyway do you want to leave this place?

Young Zakai: Yes Please.

Soon Iroh then raised his hand and soon we see a peaceful place and a house as there wasn't anyone there.

Iroh: Welcome to my home.

Young Zakai: It's looks so peaceful.

As Zakai said that he noticed the sky was bluest blue and the sky's were clear and there were no buildings anywhere.

Iroh: Thank you. I try to keep it clean, so tell me what are you doing here in the Spirit World?

Young Zakai: The Spirit World?

Iroh: Yes, The Spirit World is a parallel plane of reality that coexists alongside the physical world inhabited by humans. In this world it is home to the spirits, a vast range of immortal, supernatural entities that often embody different aspects of life and nature.

Young Zakai: Really?

Iroh: Yes, in fact here come some of my friends now.

Soon we see a frog spirit with two heads. The one on the right headed had yellow eyes and the one on the left had blue eyes.

Two-Headed Frog Spirit Right head: Iroh! Good to see you!

Iroh: May-Jim it is very nice too see the two of you again I want to introduce you you to someone.

Soon Zakai was shocked to see two headed Frog.

Young Zakai: Uh, hi my name is Zakai.

Soon they started to introduce themselves.

Two-Headed Frog Spirit Right head: Hello my name is Jim.

Two-Headed Frog Spirit Left head: And I am May. You look lost are you ok?

Young Zakai: No, not really. I'm lost and I'm actually looking for a way out of here.

May: Oh! That is so sad. Don't you think it's sad Jim?

Jim: Yes, Yes it is. But don't worry I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Soon Zakai then smiles at the two for trying to cheer him up.

Young Zakai: Thanks. And I hope you two will be happy together.

May: Oh, nonono. We aren't together we don't exactly go well together.

Jim: Yeah, we're polar opposite.

Zakai: That may be true but Polar Opposites are often Attracted to one nother.

Jim: Yeah, never going to happen kid.

Soon the two then leave as May is in deep thought about what Zakai said.

May: Do you think he meant that opposites attract?

Jim: I think he's crazy to think that we're somewhat compatible with each other.

As they leave Iroh immediately gave the boy some tea.

Iroh: Here. Drink.

Soon Zakai was wondering why he was humoring Iroh as he didn't have time but he did seem like the guy who was on the up and up so he drank the tea all of it before he started spit and then cough.

Zakai: [Spits and Coughing Loudly] What was in that tea!

Iroh: Strange? Usually they feel the light in the tea.

Young Zakai: The Light? Well I don't feel the light only the need to cough.

Soon Iroh was laying down some wisdom of what happened as he seemed to grasp on what happened to Zakai.

Iroh: I see, it seems to me that a dark spirit has fused with you, you can't feel the light in the tea.

Young Zakai: Do you always talk about tea? And what do you mean a Dark Spirit has fused with me?

Iroh: I honestly have no idea who this Dark Spirit is but it seemed to have given you powers of the Avatar. Although it is slightly different then the one I have seen before.

Young Zakai: The one you have seen? You know of the Avatar?

Iroh: Why yes little one we have much to discuss.


Few Hours Later in the Spirit World

Iroh: And that is why I always drink Tea.

Soon we see Zakai as he is looking dead from Boredom of Iroh talking.

Iroh: After I helped recapture Ba Sing Se with the White Lotus I found my tea shop to be completely intact. I was so happy that it was ok. [Sniff]

Soon Iroh was crying about his Tea shop was ok as Zakai was already sick of him telling about the Avatar and Tea.

Young Zakai: Iroh. I need to get back can you please help now?

Iroh: Oh, sorry I guess I got carried away with everything I forgot.

Soon Zakai Face palmed himself as he was listening to that Iroh for the last few hours, hours he will not get back.

Iroh: Now all you have to do to return is by going up that mountain.

Soon we see the mountain in the Background as on top we see dark clouds and thunder and lightning. As Zakai was nervous he didn't falter he needed to go home and if that mountain was his way out then he goes there as he was leaving Iroh left him some piece of advice.

Iroh: One more thing. Zakai when you travel down this path you will be going down a path of darkness but that doesn't mean that the light has driven away from you. You have to choose who are you and what you want to be.

As Zakai wonders what he was talking about but doesn't think about it as much as he leaves.


Few Hours up the mountain

Soon we see Zakai looking back as he will miss that old man but in Oder to get out he needed to get up the mountain.

As he made his way up it was perilous filled with sharp ledges and falling rocks as he was tired he immediately fell a little but he then grabs the sturdy edge and climbs back up as he made it to the top he immediately saw a way home as there was a golden crack.

Young Zakai: Finally.

?: Wait.

Soon there was another voice as he turns around and we see it was another spirit it was small and Dark it had Red markings on its black body.

Young Zakai: Who are you?

Dark Spirit: My name is Vaatu and you are my weapon to fight against the Avatar.

Young Zakai: What? I don't want to fight the Avatar he's the reason that we have peace.

Vaatu: Yes. But Just like before you, your previous lifetimes worked for me.

Soon we see thousands of people right in front of Zakai there was an Earth Kingdom person, Air Nomad, Fire Nation, Water Nation. All except the Air Nomads wore robes, while the other three were wearing Armor as they were soldiers.

Vaatu: You have no choice but to listen to me.

Young Zakai: No! I won't be a weapon for you!

Soon Zakai then tries to leave as he thinks he believes he is free of him but then his body stops as he can't control it.

Vaatu: You have no choice. You will become the Dark Avatar. You will cause Choas and Injustice you will be a scourge of humans and you will obey me.

Young Zakai: [Screaming in Pain]

Soon he was on his knees and then we close in on his eyes.


9 Years Later

Zakai: [Gasps]

Soon we see Zakai as he is all grown up as he is now Seventeen years old and he isn't wearing a shirt and he was only wearing pants as we get a good look at his body he was really well developed as he has muscles and has 6 pack abs as he is looks around and noticed he is sweating and had that dream again.

Zakai: That same dream again. [Pained Gasps]

Soon he clutched his chest as it hurt him as if something was wrong but the pained subsided as he panted as he wandered what was wrong.

Zakai: What was that?

Soon he ignored that and he then went to training as he is a Martial Arts expert over rigorous training especially in the line of work he is in. As he gets out of his apartment as he wears a wears a Red shirt with Suspenders over his shoulders and black pants and black shoes as he exits the building as he has a black jacket over his shoulders.

As he leaves we look outside and we see him looking outside and at the United Republic Bay, Yue Bay.

As he walked down the street people have been passing him by as he looks at this nice day with a blank look on his face as he seemed calm and collected as he went to work.


Triple Threat Triad Territory

As Zakai went into into the T.T.T Triads without fear he soon entered a building where a factory was right next to him he is soon walking inside as he talked to the store Clerk.

Store clerk: Hello Zakai, what would you like today?

Zakai: Um looking for the new bolts for today.

Store clerk: There is some bolts in the back.

Zakai: Thanks.

Soon Zakai then payed the Store Clerk some money for payment.

Zakai: For the bolts.

Store Clerk: Thank you sir.

Soon as he went back we see Printing press Generators as they were being handled by Non Benders as they were being powered by cables from the Factory generators.

As Zakai made his way back he then went inside the door as he went to his boss Lightning Bolt Zolt the boss of the Triple Threat Triads.

Lightning Bolt Zolt: Zakai! My boy how are you?

Soon Zakai made a smile as he seemed to act a bit more expressive.

Zakai: You know me? I had a nice sleep enjoy profits of Manuel labor! Especially last night since one tried to skim from the top.

Lightning Bolt Zolt: Yes I heard, I also heard you wracked his knuckles.

Zakai: Let's just say he's going to learn to accept what he has and "appreciate" it. Ain't that right Wong?

Soon we see Wong with this hands broken as they are bandaged as he whimpered and nodded his head multiple times.

Lightning Bolt Zolt: [Laughs] I like you Zakai, your a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something some of my boys could learn from.

Zakai: Thank you sir.

Lightning Bolt Zolt: Yeah, so I want you to do me a favor here. I want you to go with some of my boys to this store right here in the territory some people haven't been paying for my services and they need some motivation to pay up.

Zakai: Hey, have I let you down boss?

Lightning Bolt Zolt: No you haven't, but if you do this then you'll get some extra Yuan in your next paycheck.

Zakai: Yes sir.

As we see Zakai is leaving as he is going to a car as there were three grunts one earth Bender, one water bender, and one Fire bender as they have a amazing looking car as Zakai couldn't help but love this beautiful woman. (Beautiful Women being the car.)

Zakai: Sweet Ride. Viper.

Viper is a human male waterbender and those are his two known friends Two Toed Ping the fire bender and Mushi the earthbender as they ran together a Protection Racket which Zakai agreed to help.

Viper: Yeah, ain't she beautiful. Now let's get a move on I don't want to keep the people waiting.

Zakai: Sure thing.

Soon all four get into the car as they head off to the Downtown area of Republic City.

Little did they know that they were about to be stopped by a Girl from out of town.


Near Downtown Area of Republic City

Soon we see a girl with water tribe clothes with a huge Polar-Dog-Hound that is roaming about the city. She's about 5'7" (170 cm) with Cyan eyes and Dark brown hair and Brown skin.
