Great Turtle Sage Ki Master and Old Pervert
"Mako… you just punched a car?!" Bolin said.
"I know, Bolin, you've been saying that six times already." Mako annoyed.
Mako, his brother, and his girlfriends are sitting in the dining room of the Air Temple Island where they are having the party for Mako recovery from the incident with the Triple Threat last night, but it looks like not everyone is enjoying the party.
"I'm sorry that my big brother suddenly got super strength to punch a moving vehicle at high speed!" Bolin freaked out a little.
"I know, I was shock too when me and the family came to pick you guys up and saw Mako turned into a blur of green light or something and send that car flying while it flipping backwards just to save that little kid from being roadkill which was a brave thing to do though as Jinora would put that was reckless too." Ikki said a little fast.
"Can you teach me how to punch a car?" Meelo asked exciting.
"No one is punching any cars, young man." Pema said making Meelo punt.
"To be honest, I'm not even sure how I even did that. All I could think was how that kid was in trouble and I wanted to stop that car." Mako explained the best he could.
"Hmm, that is certainly unheard of, do you remember something happening to you when you stopped that car?" Tenzin asked.
"Well, I guess… I did felt this energy raising up inside me and I was also angry about the driver too." Mako started to recall those feelings.
"Energy, it sounds like you have unlocked a new power that has never been seen before." Tenzin guessed.
"But how can that be?" Korra confused.
"It must've been when he had his bending taken away. I'm really sure of it myself, but I think that power was dormant deep inside while you had your fire-bending and now with that gone, that inner power awakened." Jinora theorized.
"Wait, does that mean I could get new powers if I lost my bending?" Bolin asked stupid.
"Don't even think about it." Mako glared.
"I also like that you got yourself a cute monkey tail, look at it all wiggling and furry!" Ikki complimented Mako's tail.
"Yeah, that one I still trying to understand, but I'm sure it's nothing to be worry about." Tenzin assured.
"Well, I'll believe we can figure this out later, right now it's a supposed to be a party for Mako getting out of the hospital." Asami reminded.
"She's right, let's all try to enjoy ourselves with a little fun." Pema agreed as she sat the cake down.
"Oh, that looks sweet!" Meelo punned.
"Not yet, Mako get the first piece." Pema said as she cut a piece of the cake and handed it to Mako.
"Thanks, maybe a little sweet could get my mind off the suddenly new strength for a while." Mako said.
Ikki couldn't help but giggle at the monkey tail wanting to know how soft it is, so she hug the tail tightly in her arms feeling the soft fur against her cheeks and Mako suddenly gasps as his face became weak-looking as he fell over on the table and landed face-first on the cake.
"Mako, are you okay?" Korra asked.
"Whoa, what did you put in this cake, Pema?" Bolin asked the wife as she shrugs.
"Feeling… so weak…" Mako managed to say.
"Weak, but how are you" Asami stopped herself when she sees Ikki hugging Mako's tail and began putting the two together.
"Ikki, let go of Mako's tail now." Asami ordered the little air-bending girl.
"Huh?" Ikki confused.
"You're hurting Mako." Asami pointed at the weaken Mako, making Ikki realize and let go. When the tail was release, Mako started feeling better again though with his whole face covered in cake.
"Okay, what just happened?" Mako asked as he wipe some of the cake off his face.
"I think we just discovered that when your tail is being squeezes from a grab or Ikki's hug for example, you start to lose all your strength." Asami explained.
"Are you kidding me, I get weaker whenever my tail is being grabbed?" Mako shocked.
"Calm down, Mako I don't think it'll be a problem if you keep your tail keep out of reach from others." Korra said.
"Hey, maybe you can wrap you tail around your waist like a belt, that way no one can tell the difference and your tail won't be squeeze." Bolin suggested.
"Uh, that does sound like a good idea though for some reason I don't like to hide my tail. I'll have to make sure nobody can grab it." Mako said.
"Okay, but I think the fur belt idea would make you look cool too." Bolin proclaimed.
A few minutes later, everyone look satisfied as they all enjoyed the cake and there is still some left for later as Pema put that in the fridge.
"Man, that cake was great, Pema." Korra complimented.
"Thanks, it's a recipe I got from a bakery suggesting I try something a little new." Pema explained.
Hearing Pema saying something about trying new things got her thinking about Mako and his new strength, remembering how fast he was moving and how strong he was when he punched that car earlier and the time when he somehow beaten the Triple Threat gang after his bending was taken away. Then an idea popped into Korra's head as look toward Mako with a big smile on her face.
"Uh, what are looking at me for?" Mako asked.
"I just got an idea, follow me." Korra gestured them to go outside with her, everyone was confused of what sort of idea the female Avatar has in mind and decided to follow her.
Korra lead everyone outside near the spinning wooden boards that she used during her air-bending training.
"Okay Korra, what this idea of yours?" Mako asked.
"Well, I'm going to blast you with my fire-bending, and you will have to use that power to defend yourself against it." Korra revealed shocking everyone.
"You want to burn me alive?!" Mako gasped.
"Now hear me out, I know this may sound dangerous and risky, but I figure if Mako can tap into that power again then maybe we'll have a better understanding of how he can wield." Korra explained.
"By burning me alive?" Mako repeated.
"Come on, have faith in your girlfriend. Don't you want to know more about your new powers?" Korra asked.
"But this is all too fast for me, I was thinking we could wait for a few days before doing something crazy and I'm not even sure I can do that again." Mako said doubting himself.
"Trust me, I know you can do it. Just got to have faith in yourself." Korra advised before she moves back about ten feet.
"Are we really going to let her do this?" Jinora asked worry.
"Don't worry, Jinora, I'm sure Korra knows exactly what she is doing. I hope." Tenzin said, being a little worry too.
"Be the leaf, Mako!" Meelo cheered.
"Meelo, that's for the air-bending training." Ikki reminded her little brother.
"Oh, never mind!" Meelo shouted.
"Just remember to feel, don't think." Bolin advised.
"What kind of advice is that?" Asami asked.
"It's a saying for all martial artist either benders who none-benders, something about trusting your instinct or something." Bolin explained.
Mako see Korra performing a stance as she brings out her fire ready to unleash her flame onto her boyfriend which he feels pretty scared about it, yet for some reason he's not complaining about it anymore and found himself in a fighting stance without even realizing his body is moving.
"Okay, here I come!" Korra unleashed a big stream of fire toward Mako.
As if the world has started to move in slow-motion in Mako's mind seeing the fire coming straight at him and he doesn't feel worry about it at all, not because he was a fire-bender once but it was something else as his body begun to feel strange again like before. The green aura appeared again and when the fire engulfed him completely, causing everyone including Korra to panic, Mako let out a mighty scream as the fire was blown away by the shockwave of his power and his aura became spiked up.
"Whoa…!" Korra shocked.
"Amazing!" Tenzin impressed.
"Wow, look at him all glowing green and that wind coming from him, it's almost like he's an air-bender!" Ikki excited.
Mako can definitely feel the power flowing through him and it was still growing though this made him worry and decided to stop the power up as the aura disappears calming himself down.
"Ha! I knew it would work, and you doubted my idea." Korra smirked.
"Yeah, it felt great and intense though I not even sure if I can learn how to control this power since it's not like fire-bending." Mako said looking at his hand.
"Perhaps you can, with the help from someone who actually has similar powers like you." Tenzin mentioned.
"You know someone who can help him, dear?" Pema asked.
"Yes, although you know him too… consider he tried touching you when we last visited him." Tenzin said with a fake cough.
Pema was confused of what her husband meant until she started to remember the person Tenzin is talking about.
"What?! Are you crazy, you want to send Mako to HIM of all people?" Pema shouted in rage.
"He's the only person I think of to help Mako with his powers." Tenzin stated.
"Excuse me, we're all curious to know who exactly is this person you two are talking about?" Bolin asked.
Tenzin and Pema look at each other for a second or two until Pema let out a sigh.
"He's an old man who lives on a small island somewhere in the middle of the ocean." Pema said, sounding that she's annoyed of this man.
"An old man?" Mako confused.
"He's a wise man with the skills of a strong marital artist, he created a fighting style that would push anyone to through the limit and battle against benders too. He is known as the Great Turtle Sage, the Ki Master. Kame." Tenzin explained.
"Oh yeah, he's such a wise old man… to grab my own butt just feel how soft it is!" Pema angered.
"So, he's an old pervert who knows how to fight?" Bolin asked, being a little scared of angry Pema.
"Trust me, he's just the person to help Mako." Tenzin assured.
"Okay, so when can we meet this Kame guy?" Mako asked.
"We'll leave for his island first thing in the morning, his island is pretty far away." Tenzin said.
"I'm starting to feel worry about this." Mako admitted.
"I'm sure it's not all bad, even though what Pema said may make this old man sound creepy, but if Tenzin trust this guy then we should at least give him a chance." Korra stated.
"Korra's right and besides, if he tries anything then I'll give him a shock he'll never forget." Asami winked.
(Next Day)
We see everyone riding Tenzin's Flying bison over the wide ocean with the sun shining bright making it a great day, the only one who is nervous about all this is Mako who wonder if the old man will even take a student like him and can he really help with his situation. He looks down staring at the ocean thinking about that his life has changed forever and he knew that he could never go back to that old life anymore.
"Okay, we're here!" Tenzin announced and pointed at the island.
"Wow, that really is a small island." Bolin commented.
"Kame like to keep things small like his own home and chose to live out here, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone bothering him during his quiet life." Tenzin explained.
Tenzin's bison landed on the beach which is big enough for him and everyone got off as they look around.
"Wow, it's like having your own little paradise." Meelo pointed out.
"Oh, and his house is so pink!" Ikki admired the color of the two-story house.
"And it looks like he's home." Tenzin pointed at person sleeping on the hammock with a book over his face.
"He sounds like Meelo when he sleeps." Jinora commented on the snoring.
"Master Kame. Master Kame, it's me Tenzin, I've come to see you for something important." Tenzin tried to wake the old man up, but nothing happened.
"Doesn't sound like he's waking up." Bolin pointed out.
"Hold on… Master Kame, a young cute girl with noodles is here for you." Tenzin said to the ear the old man wakes up.
"Oh, then let's share some noodles together, baby!" Kame excited, and he saw Tenzin standing in front of him.
"Uh, Tenzin, is that you?" Kame asked.
"Yes, it's me, Master Kame. It's been a long time." Tenzin greeted.
"Oh, tricking me into waking up. I would be mad at you for that, but it's nice to see you again after twenty years." Kame said as he got off the hammock.
Kame is a short old man with little gray mustache and bread, a green puffy hair and wears sunglasses over his eyes. He wears a gray shirt, red shorts, flipflops, and a big turtle shell on his back with little tree-like decorations on it.
"Oh, is that Pema. She looks pretty today." Kame said, Pema growled at him.
"Yes, and these are my kids: Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and our youngest Rohan." Tenzin introduced Kame to his kids.
"Ah, these are lovely kids you got here. And who are these youngsters?" Kame asked about Mako and the others.
"Master Kame, this girl here is the Avatar, Korra."
"Hello." Korra greeted.
"Oh my, I didn't know this Avatar was going to be a foxy young lady." Kame laughed with a wink that creeped Korra out and angering Mako.
Kame try to reach out for Korra, hoping to grab her big breasts, but the avatar blew him away with her wind making him roll toward his house.
"An old pervert." Asami whispered to Pema.
"He's hasn't changed a bit." Pema disappointed and Tenzin help Kame up.
"The others are Asami, Bolin, and this here is Mako who is here for your guidance." Tenzin pulled Mako in.
"Hmm, this boy… his energy feels different than the others." Kame noticed feeling Mako's energy.
"That because he has become like with power… after his bending was taken away." Tenzin explained.
"His bending was taken away, looks like I missed a lot in twenty years." Kame shocked.
"I think I can show you little of what I can do." Mako said and brought out his green aura.
"Interesting, so you can release your Ki in a power up way." Kame impressed stroking his chin.
"Ki?" Mako confused.
"That's what I like to call, kind like chi except Ki focus more on the body and releasing the inner spiritual energy. Now let me show you something I learned during my younger days." Kame stand firm and look toward one of the coconut trees.
Kame stood quietly for a second and thrust his hand upward to launch an energy ball that exploded on impact making the tree on fire, this shock the teens and the kids while Tenzin and Pema remain calm as they seen this already.
"So, you wish to learn how to control Ki, huh?" Kame looked at Mako with a serious which made the boy nervous.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Mako is about to get help on how to control his Ki better, and that help is an old man who was a great martial artist and also an old pervert as he tried to make his move on Korra. I also gave him the name "Kame" which is Japanese for "Turtle" because I thought it would be cool having someone similar to Roshi, but a little different as you'll see later.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
