Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Legend of Korra.
THIS IS A TRIPLE UPDATE READ CHAPTER 10 FIRST!
A/N: Just want you all to know I had problems with the site as they upgrade/go to different servers. Even now I'm not getting the numbers over at the PM (If you have say 3 new messages there'll be a 3 beside the PM tab.)
So it may be a while for me to reply to your PM as I don't usually check my email a lot. Also for the foreseeable future, I'll be slightly busier (Most days I won't be able to get on until at least 9/10 at night)
But that shouldn't affect the stories/chapters that use 1 episode for the Ch but the times I'll use multiple eps/movies/multiple issues of comics/games storyline (As that doesn't go by multiple episodes) might be short delays in updating that story/Ch.
Also, remember to vote in the next story poll if you haven't! So I won't forget if there's a tie/top choices are very close together by the time I get halfway through s3 of Ultimate Spider-Man I'll do another of the top 21 when uploading the chapter that has episode 13.
Slight spoiler for the story, skip to chapter if you don't want to be spoiled.
:SPOILER:
Also, I forgot on asking how'd you feel Naruto learning lavabending and/or flying without a glider/wingsuit. I will have him learn metalbending though.

Book One
Air
Chapter XI
Skeletons In The Closet.
The Equalists are on the attack! The Lieutenant and his chi blockers invaded Air Temple Island and forced Tenzin and his family to flee! In the daring escape, Lin Beifong sacrificed herself and saved the airbenders, but she was captured and Amon took her bending away. Now, Team Avatar is in hiding as they await help from General Iroh and the United Forces.
Republic City City Hall.
Blimps flew in the air as mecha tanks stood in front of the city hall before Hiroshi walked out to a podium and spoke in it. "It is a glorious day, my Equalist brothers and sisters! Amon has torn down the tyrannical bending government! He has declared bending illegal, and he has the Avatar on the run. Our great leader has a vision for the future. One day soon, bending will no longer exist and we will live in a world where everyone is finally equal! The United Forces are on their way right now to try and stop that dream. But we will prevail!
The crowd cheers loudly as in the back, two chi blockers look at each other, one male, the other female before they turn and walk away. They push aside a clump of bushes in Republic City Park and enter a small clearing with a large rock in the center. One earthbends the rock aside, revealing a hole, and both jump inside as the rock slides back over.
In a tunnel, they started walking and took their masks off revealing them to be Naruto and Korra who turned to Naruto. "Can you believe Hiroshi?! 'The Avatar's on the run'. I'm not running from anyone! Let's go back up there and knock some heads; they'll never know what hit 'em."
She turned and started walking back before Naruto sighed. "Relax. General Iroh's coming with an entire fleet of battleships. Then Amon will be the one who's running."
"I hate this "being patient" stuff."
"Well, I got away to work out your aggression," Naruto said with a smirk as he walked up and placed his hands on her hip.
"N-Not now," Korra replied flustered before turning back to walk to a large underground room.
They saw Mako, Asami, and Bolin sitting on crates by tents. Asami is watching in amusement as Bolin plays with Pabu. "You two were gone a while," Mako spoke looking at the two benders walked over
"We were doing reconnaissance," Naruto spoke before the homeless guy Gommu he and Korra met appeared between them.
"Welcome back! Hope you worked up an appetite, 'cause dinner is served."
Later, Gommu is stirring a pot of stew and pouring some into a dish.
"Thanks so much for letting us hide out with you the past few days," Korra replied as the teens sat at a tree log cut into a table.
Gommu Hands a bowl of stew to Korra. "Honored to oblige. My associates and I heartily oppose Amon's so-called 'Equalist' policies. We got benders and non-benders living together down here, but do you see us fighting'? No siree; we've figured out how to harmoniously co-exist."
Bolin smiled as he lifted a spoon to his mouth. "You are a wise and noble hobo." He said before eating. "Mmmm. This is the best-tasting street gruel I've ever had. Seriously!"
"I culled it from the finest dumpsters the city has to offer!"
Asami, who already has the spoon in her mouth, her eyes close and open a couple of times as the top half of her face turns green. She spits the food back into the bowl and coughs. Composing herself, she surreptitiously puts the food on the floor behind her before Pabu crawls up behind her and eats from the bowl.
Later, Korra in her original clothes sat against a sleeping Naga before hearing footsteps. Looking to her right, she saw Naruto on his vest and black pants.
"Can't sleep either?"
Korra shook her head and sighed. "No, I have this awful pit in my stomach."
"Me too," Naruto said as he sat beside her.
"It's so crazy. A few months ago we were in the South Pole and I was practicing for my firebending test, and now we're in the middle of an all-out war."
"I know, but you're the most loyal, brave, and selfless person I've ever known."
"I think you're pretty incredible too, but... you already knew that," Korra said before Naruto pulled her onto his lap.
"I do know that." He replied with a smile.
Placing his left hand on her hip, Naruto pulled Korra to him for a kiss. As they made out, Naruto moved his hands on her sides pushing her shirt up revealing she has a six-pack and the bottom of her chest bindings. They broke apart before Naruto looked at her abs and smiled before she put her shirt back down.
Air Temple Island.
Airships fly around the Statue of Aang as Amon's mask is on it with the Equalist flag on his staff while fog covers the island. On a platform, Amon is waiting before the Lieutenant drags a blindfolded man up to him. The man is forced to his knees and has his blindfold removed as Amon approaches. "You will now be cleansed of your impurity. Amon moves to stand behind the man, who watches with fear, and removes the man's bending; the policeman collapses and falls over from exhaustion. "Next."
The Lieutenant nods and walks over to get the next victim, revealing a long line of benders, blindfolded and hands bound, including the White Lotus sentries.
Dawn.
Team Avatar is hiding in a drainage pipe looking out to sea and around the edge of the city.
Mako then motioned for them to walk out. "Coast is clear."
The five-run out of the pipe and climb an access stairway to an observation deck above. They crouch by the railing as Bolin scans the bay with a telescope before Korra speaks up. "Once the United Forces arrive, we need to be ready to help in any way we can."
"They're here!" Naruto spoke as he saw ships coming out of the fog.
"Wait a second... Where are the Equalist airships?" Korra asked just before they heard an engine roar.
They then hear an explosion followed by more blasts before Korra leaps off the edge and uses waterbending to pull herself into the bay, and she begins to swim toward the conflict. The others looked up to see a group of flying objects can be seen in the mist, which resolved themselves into two fleets of biplanes.
"Where does Hiroshi find the time to keep inventing new evil machines?!" Bolin yelled out as the planes flew across the bay, as Hiroshi piloted one.
They saw bombs being dropped down from them onto the ships. In the water, Korra dodges two torpedoes that were dropped and hit the side of a ship.
BOOM!
The explosion forces Korra back but she swims to the ship again. She sees bombs dropped as explosions come off the ships. She then emerges from the underwater and looks at the planes, while they destroy the remaining ships. The planes fly around until one gets hit with firebending, forcing the pilot to eject. Iroh and two other firebenders use their bending to take down the planes, successfully hitting one.
Korra dives back into the water, and waterbends a massive waterspout, and bends out a large ice spike to hit a plane down. "Aah!"
However, the damaged plane hits the waterspout and Korra falls into the water where she bends a torpedo into the air and hits another plane. She emerges once more and swims to the closest ship.
Iroh comes up from a hatch to start firebend at the remaining planes, taking them down one by one but the last plane drops a bomb in front of him as he throws fire out as a shield.
BOOM!
The explosion causes him to fall into the water, unconscious. Korra grabs and brings him to the surface. "It's all right, I've got you.
"Avatar Korra? You saved my life. Thank you."
Korra nodded as she waterbends them away from the wreckage.
Underground.
Korra's using her healing abilities on Iroh's wound who looked up at the others. "I was prepared to deal with Sato's mecha tanks, but not these new high-speed aircraft."
Korra nodded as she moved the water to another wound. "I know. Every time we think we have an advantage, Amon outsmarts us."
"No matter what our plan is, he always has a better one." Bolin poke up as Iroh sighed.
"Amon is winning so far but we're not out of the fight yet."
"I like this man's confidence. So how are we not out of the fight?" Bolin asked the General.
"The second wave of reinforcements is on the way. But I need to warn them. Do you still have a way to get a message out?" Iroh asked standing up
"I know just the man for the job," Korra said before going to Gommu, who went to the radio equipment and turned it on.
"And who is the recipient of this top-secret message?"
"Commander Bumi. Second division of the united forces."
"Tenzin's brother?" Korra asked Iroh who nodded.
"Yes. A bit of a wild man but the bravest Commander you'll ever meet."
"Ready, sir!" Gommu spoke before looking down to a telegraph key.
"Fleet ambushed and destroyed by Equalist aircraft. Retreat to the red sand island until my signal. Do not approach the city until you receive the all-clear." They then went to a large map before Iroh continued. "Now comes the hard part. We need to ground those aircraft otherwise Bumi's fleet will never be able to retake the city."
"They flew in from this direction. The airfield must be somewhere over this Mountain range." Mako explained moving a finger over the edge he was standing at.
"Everyone get ready. We leave at dawn."
Later, Naruto was at a table working on a leather bracer with a metal device on the bottom before putting it on his right arm and tightened it.
"Wait."
Naruto looked back to see Korra was talking to the others near him. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going with you tomorrow."
"What? Why not?" Mako asked the Avatar who sighed.
"I'm sick and tired of hiding from Amon. It's time I face him."
"That's not a good plan. We need to stick together." Iroh spoke up as he took a step forward.
"I'm not waiting for him to hunt me down. My gut is telling me it's time to end this. On my terms."
"Korra, this is not a mission you should be handling alone," Iroh said before Naruto stood up.
"She won't be. I'm going with you."
"You don't have to do that."
"Yes, I do. We'll have a better chance with two multiple benders facing them."
"(Sigh.) My grandfather would respect the Avatar's instinct. So will I." Iroh sighed as he placed his hands on his hips.
Dawn.
"Korra, Amon is a nasty dude. Be careful." Bolin said to Korra who was in her Equalist disguise.
"I will. Good luck."
Naruto was hugging Asami before kissing her. Pulling back, she turned to walk away, pulling her coat up so Naruto could stare at her ass in her tight pants before Korra broke him out of his daze. "If you're going into the mountains you should bring Naga. Take good care of Bolin for me." Naga licked Bolin at that before the two left.
"Good fortune and success to you, Valiant heroes!"
Once the two got outside, they started waterbending the sea to form a tunnel for them to walk to Air Temple Island. Once getting on the island, the two put on their masks and climbed up the cliff before seeing a blimp tied on top of the temple with Amon walking in it. "There's Amon!"
"We need to get into the temple," Naruto said as they walked to the temple. "Then, when he returns…"
"We ambush him."
They walked to the steps before hearing a male voice. "What are you two doing here?"
Turning, they saw the Lieutenant standing behind them. "Uh, we were just transferred." Naruto lied as he stared at the Lieutenant.
"Well, you're getting transferred again. Amon wants extra security at the arena today."
"The arena? For what?" Naruto asked, glancing at Korra.
"The rally. You should have been briefed about this."
"We'll be there, sir!" Korra bowed before the Lieutenant turned to walk. She then elbowed Naruto before whispering. "I know another way in." They then slowly walked to the wall under the temple and Korra went to a square wood door.
"When did you find this?"
"Meelo showed it to me," Korra said as they crouched and walked into a room. "Let's hide in the attic."
They went to a ladder and went up to the attic. "Uh, we're not alone up here," Naruto said as he got up first and saw Tarrlok in a cell.
"Tarrlok?"
"I don't suppose you're here to rescue me?" Tarrlok asked as he sat against the back wall.
"We had no idea you were here. Are there other prisoners on the island?" Korra asked as the two took off their masks.
"No, I'm the only one."
"And what makes you so special?" Korra asked, having Tarrlok look up at her.
"I'm Amon's brother. Amon is from the northern water tribe. He is a waterbender and a bloodbender just like I was."
"What?!"
"Did you know this all along?" Naruto asked, walking up to the bars.
"No, not until after he captured me," Tarrlok explained before Korra spoke up.
"How did your brother end up becoming Amon?"
"It all began with my father, Yakone... With the help of his former gang, he escaped prison and underwent surgery to change his appearance. He assumed a new identity and settled down in the northern water tribe. That's where he met my mother, a warm, caring woman. Before long, they started a family together." Tarrlok explained before chucking as he continued.
"Heh! Amon was the firstborn under the name Noatak. I was born three years later. Noatak was a good-natured kid always looking out for me. Those were the good years before my brother and I discovered we were waterbenders. At first, we were excited by our new abilities but our training brought out a different side of my father."
"Even back then my brother wanted everyone to be treated fairly and equally. When I was seven my father took me and Noatak on a hunting trip far away from our home. He told us his true identity was Yakone Republic city's most notorious crime boss and that he was once a bloodbender of rare skill. The good days were behind us. Every full moon our father took us on another supposed "hunting" trip where he secretly trained us in bloodbending."
"We kept the truth from our mother. A few years later my father taught us to bloodbend anytime without the need of the full moon. We practiced constantly and I hated every minute of it. I had no stomach for manipulating helpless animals. My brother, however, seemed to revel in his newfound power. He was a prodigy mastering my father's psychic bloodbending technique by the time he was 14."
"Even though Noatak was my father's favorite it wasn't any easier for him. He carried the burden of all Yakone's expectations and demands. Something changed in Noatak over the years. The loving brother I once knew became cold and detached. Our father pushed us to extremes and one day he made us bloodbend each other. Noatak turned on our father for trying to lay a hand on me and ran off without me as I didn't want to leave our mother."
"My father and I searched for days but we never found a sign of Noatak. We thought he perished in that storm. My mother was never the same after the loss of my brother. My father stopped training me. With Noatak gone his hopes for revenge withered and he passed away a few years later." Tarrlok finished as the others stared at him.
"That's the second saddest story I've ever heard," Korra said before Tarrlok sighed.
"Avatar Korra I am truly sorry for all that I did to you. I thought I was better than my father but his ghost still shaped me. I became a soldier of revenge just like he wanted me to be and so did my brother. The revolution may be built on a lie but I think Amon truly believes bending is the source of all evil in the world."
"How did you figure out Amon is your brother?" Naruto asked, putting a hand on the bar.
"When he took my bending the sensation was somehow familiar. I later recognized it as my brother's bloodbending grip."
"So he somehow uses bloodbending to take people's bending?" Korra mused as Tarrlok clasped his hands.
"I don't know how he does it, but then again I've never encountered a bender as strong as Noatak."
"How in the world do we beat him?" Korra asked, having Naruto look over.
"Any attack we throw at him he'll redirect with his mind. That's how he's been able to challenge any bender."
"So much for our ambush. If we stay here, we're toast. But there's another way to beat him." Korra said, turning to face her boyfriend.
"How?"
"This whole time Amon has been one step ahead of us. But finally, we have the advantage... We know the truth about him. If we expose him as a bender in front of all his supporters... At the rally... We could take away his true power."
"But why would they believe us? All he would have to do is stand there and take our attacks and show his followers he's right. I don't think he's stupid to use bloodbending with an audience watching."
"(Sigh) Thank you for your help," Korra said to Tarrlok before Naruto turned to leave. "We can't just leave him here."
"Go," Tarrlok said, standing and grabbing the bars. "Amon can't know that anyone spoke with me. Defeat him. Put an end to this sad story."
The two nodded and left through the door they came up through.
To Be Continued.
