Haru was currently in hot pursuit of an Equalist hostage vehicle. The group had kidnapped ten people had been kidnapped, all benders. The police had been aware of the group for some time but this was the first real illegal activity that they had committed.

"Come on bud, let's get in front of them, "Haru said, cranking the pedal, the tail obliged and the two rocketed in front of them.

Haru looked back to the car, if he made a roadblock the car could flip and people could get hurt, same if he went for the driver.

"But take out the wheels, and it stops moving altogether." Haru thought. Slowing their speed, Toothless brought Haru alongside the van, he then shot out his cable onto the wheel, and he then did something stupid.

He hopped off Toothless' saddle and planted his feet onto the ground. The front and back weeks snapped off the hinges, the van skidded to a stop with sparks flying.

Toothless landed on top of the van, as the kidnappers got out he smacked one of them away with his tail. Another one was about to escape into an alleyway, but Haru recovered from his stunt and made a wall between the man and alley, he then shot a chunk of rock at his head. Hitting its mark the man fell unconscious.

Meanwhile Toothless was trying to open the door to the van.

"I got it bud." Haru said, using his metal bending to rip the doors off. Backup arrived a few minutes later.

"This is a first, literally." Haru said as he and his mother sat inside her office.

"I agree, they aren't denying anything, in fact it's as though their feeding off this." Lin said as she stamped an arrest warrant.

"Well what better way to get more people on your side than drawing sympathy from the families of the people we arrested." Haru said staring at the glass of water in his hand. Lin nodded in understanding.

"It's an old tactic, but it's still effective." Lin said.

I don't know what they're up to but it's going to happen soon. I've looked into it as many times as I could but…" Haru trailed off.

"But what?" Lin asked with tension.

"I just don't see how Amon is going to do it! Unless he's planning genocide for benders, I just don't see how he is going to fight something that is out of our control. That's what's frustrating me!" Haru said with a growl.

Lin stared at the boy. She knew that he had done some undercover work to find out what Amon and his men have been up to, but sadly Haru had found little to nothing and couldn't look any further since his identity was discovered. But it was because of that, the mole was found in the police department.

"How much time do you think we have till they start whatever it is their planning?" his mom questioned.

"Minimal, a day to a few days tops." Haru said as he threw the papers on the table and drank his tea in one gulp.

"And I'm in more of a position to go with the former due to my knowledge of Amon."

"How do think Korra will fit into this?" Lin asked.

"Korra is a big player in this game. When she arrived the Equalists movements increased to twice as much as before. So my theory is Korra will be playing a role soon and it probably won't be good." Haru said as he looked serious towards Lin.

"This is not good. I should tell Tenzin, I'm sure he would want to discuss this with the council. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled." Lin said

Haru nodded, "You don't need to tell me twice."

Toothless was flying Haru over the bay quickly; it wasn't until recently until Haru realized that Toothless had been slowly becoming faster. It now took only 5 minutes to get to the island instead of 15.

By the time they got there he was just in time to see Mako and Korra about to leave.

"Hey!" he called from the air, the pair landed beside the two.

"What's up?" he asked.

Korra looked to Mako, "We could use the help. And he's the police so he could always get some backup right?"

Mako seemed to consider this.

"Uhhhhhhh, can you guys fill me in?" Haru asked.

After they filled him in on the situation Haru agreed to help inside the boundaries of the law.

"So your best friend is a Polar-bear dog, somehow that makes sense." Mako said as they rode on the street.

Haru looked at him skeptically "But the guy on the back of a dragon isn't shocking at all?" he asked, Toothless seemed to nod in agreement.

"I read the newspaper." he put simply as they continued on. Haru had suggested that they stick together, better to coordinate that way.

They eventually arrived at Republic City square.

"Well, this is his usually hang out." Mako said as he dismounted from Naga. Toothless, Haru and Korra followed him.

Mako eventually made his way to a group of kids.

"You guys seen my brother around today?" Mako asked.

One kid with a hat spoke up, "Perhaps…but my memory is a little…foggy. Maybe you could help…clear it up?" He said as he stuck out his hand.

Haru stepped forward to the kid.

"Listen here Skoochy this is police business, you are going to tell us everything you know or I'm going to tell your mother about you skipping school again." Haru said

"Hey come one Mr. Beifong, please don't tell!" Skoochy begged.

"I'm waiting." Haru said tapping his foot.

"Okay, okay. Around noon he was performing some kind of monkey rat circus and then Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash. Bo took off with him in his hot-rod. I heard that The Triple Threats, the Red Monsoons, and the Agni Kai's, all the triads are muscling up for something real big. Now that's all you're getting out of me." Skoochy explained.

Mako looked shocked.

"See was that so hard." Haru chuckled. He took the money from Mako and gave it to Skoochy.

"Now take this and get home before I change my mind." Haru threatened. Skoochy called his friends to follow him as he left. Korra turned to Haru.

"Was he lying?" she asked.

Haru shook his head, "Nope, he told the truth and Bolin seems to be in some serious trouble. As I had reports stating the triads were up to something." He said.

"Sounds like a turf war's brewing' and Bolin's about to get caught right in the middle." Mako said seriously.

They were heading towards the Triple Threat Triad's HQ when all of a sudden Naga started chasing a fire ferret.

"Whoa Naga!" Korra said as she pulled the reins.

"That's Pabu!" Mako exclaimed as Pabu ran up a street sign.

"No Naga, Pabu is a friend, not a snack." Korra commented.

Toothless crooned at Pabu and Pabu squeaked back and tapped noses with Naga, and then jumped onto the polar bear dog and climbed up Mako's shoulder.

"We got to hurry." Mako said in distress.

They made it to the HQ and Haru put his hand to the ground.

"There's no one in there. The Triple Treats would have guards outside too. There is some activity going on in the back though." Haru said as they rushed inside and head through the back door.

As they exited the back door they saw a bunch of Equalists and a large truck, which just so happened to have Bolin tied up and gagged in the back of it.

"Bolin!" Cried Mako as he tried to run to the truck.

Two Equalists on motorcycles threw a canister that released a green gas.

"Toothless!" Haru called. "I'll stay on the van from above you guys try to get to it from behind!"

"Naga, come!" Korra said as she and Mako ran out of the gas and jumped on Naga's back.

They soared into the air and followed the van.

"Same as before bud!" he shouted over the wind, Toothless nodded as Haru cranked the fin into place. But before they could get close enough, two chi blockers threw bolas at the dragon.

Unfortunately one hit home and the two were brought down. The two crashed onto the ground.

The two chi blockers got off their bikes to finish him off.

Toothless was wound so now Haru had to deal with them by himself.

"Hey guys remember me?" he smiled.

"Traitor!" One of the chi blockers yelled. He charged him.

Haru danced around the Equalist and raised a small earth column at his foot, off balancing the chi blocker, and then a fist size rock flew up from the ground and hit the Equalist in the face, causing him to stagger a bit. Haru then elbowed his staggered opponent that sent him rolling on to the ground. He followed up with an earth line, making him fly further.

The second chi blocker was about to attack but a plasma blast stopped them

Though Toothless was tied up his mouth was free.

"It's your move." Haru grinned.

Both chi blockers got to their bikes and left. Haru immediately ran to Toothless.

A dragon's skin can withstand rock but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Haru inspected Toothless and saw a nasty cut on his paw. He couldn't go after them knowing that his best friend was in pain.

After minutes if trying to treat his wound Korra and Mako arrived.

"Haru! Are you alright? We saw Toothless go down and..." Mako asked but was interrupted as Korra rushed past him to check on Haru.

"Are you hurt? Is anything broken? What were you thinking?" Korra asked as she looked him over, when she was sure he wasn't hurt too bad she encased him in a hug.

"Okay, breathe. Try not to focus on the two things pressing against your chest." Haru thought as he loosely returned it.

"I'm not the one who needs help." he turned to his friend in the ground; Korra used the water from a puddle to heal the wound.

"He'll be alright. But we need to find Bolin." Mako said pacing.

"But where can we look?" Haru thought out loud.

Korra gasped, "I have an idea!" she said.

As the three sat down Korra reeled in the events of earlier.

"What the hell is wrong with me!? First I can't stop thinking about him then I hug him!? she thought,

"Sooo, how do you guys know the triple threats?"

Mako seemed caught off guard by the question.

"Uhh, back when we were kids, me and Bolin did some stuff for them."

Korra shot straight up, "Whoa wait, are you guys criminals?" Korra shouted.

"No!" Mako said.

"I'd know if they where criminals, if anything they're...goombas." Haru said. Mako sent him a look.

"Hey I'm just saying, it's better than what some of them turn out to be." Haru said raising his hands in defense.

"We used to run numbers for them, that's all." Mako said.

Korra still held her gaze on Mako, "Can I ask how your parents died?"

Mako let out a sigh, "They were struck by a fire bender when I was 8." he said drawing his scarf over his mouth.

"Mako…" Korra said with worry.

Mako pulled his scarf to cover his mouth, "Bolin is the only family I have left. If anything happened to him…" he trailed off.

"We'll find him." Haru said.

Haru had been on a few stakeouts in his time as an officer, but he learned how to keep himself awake long enough. He was currently sitting against Toothless, trying to avoid his wounded arm. Korra had gotten up to get some food for the two of them since Mako had dozed off. He gave her enough for six of them.

"You alright bud?" he asked his friend. He gave a rumble in response.

"You guys are pretty close." Haru looked to see Korra with two bags and drinks in an earth tray.

"You still got some questions about him?" he asked, almost everybody had wanted to know about Toothless in some way, he even wrote a paper on it and gave it to the newspaper. Sold out by the afternoon.

"Actually I want to know more about the guy who rides him." Korra said, handing him his food and drink. Haru was surprised.

"What's there to know? My mom and dad met, dad died, I was born, I found Toothless, and I'm a good Earth-bender, what else is there?" he asked.

Korra rolled her eyes, "I mean like you personally, what's your favorite song? How old are you? What's your favorite color for crying out loud?" Korra cried out in frustration.

Haru was albeit a bit surprised, Toothless was his only companion for a time, and his mother knew everything that he did.

"My favorite color is green, I'm 19, and I don't listen to a lot of music." he said.

Korra smiled, "Not exactly what I meant but it's a start." she said, giving him a light punch to the arm.

As the moments dragged on, the two started having trouble staying awake. Haru was about to get up and start walking when something slumped against his shoulder. It was none other than Korra who had drifted off to sleep.

"If I wake her up she'll probably kill me. He thought, but if I don't wake her up she might just shrug it off. Haru contemplated.

Before he could make up his mind, Toothless' wing encased them, forming a blanket. Well that settles it. Haru thought before dozing off. Meanwhile Toothless was trying hard not to smile.

The next morning

"Equality now! Equality now! We want equality now!"

Haru slowly opened his eyes to see morning had come...and Korra was leaning on his shoulder.

Wait what!? Haru thought before the two sprung away from each other.

"I...uh..." Korra attempted.

"Excuse me Mr. and Ms. Lovebird but I think that's our guy." Mako said pointing to the man on the table.

"Non-benders of Republic City! Amon calls you to action! Take back your city! It's time for the-" The protester gasped as he saw Haru and Korra approaching him.

"It's you again!" He said as he started to talk into his megaphone, "You cannot silence me Avatar!"

Haru, not liking a megaphone in his face slapped it out of his hand and it broken when it hit the ground.

"Qua what have I said about putting a megaphone in my face?" Haru asked menacingly.

Qua gulped, "To not to Lieutenant Beifong."

Haru smiled, "Right. Now, a friend of mine was taken by a group of chi blocker yesterday. Maybe you can provide some insight for me?" the blonde asked nicely.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Qua said stubbornly.

Haru just stared at the man and it unnerved him. It was like he was looking into his soul.

"You really need to stop lying Qua. What would your parents say?" Haru said with a predator-like smile.

"Don't talk about my parents." He said paling a bit.

"Oh, that's right." Haru nodded in understanding.

"They were big supporter of Avatar Aang weren't they? And you were always getting into trouble in order to get attention for yourself by opposing the majority opinion. And what better way to get attention then be a protestor for the Equalists. You have a bit of a record, don't you? Most of it is petty crimes, but the shame of having a son that opposed the very man they supported. Tsk tsk." Haru said as he grabbed a few flyers and started to walk away, but turned to face Qua one more time.

"You're like a lost koala sheep that's just following a trend or something. Do most of us a favor and stop being an attention seeking child."

Mako and Korra just blinked and followed him.

"Hey? What happed to asking about Bolin?" Mako asked.

Haru held up the flyers he took.

"Whatever is going down, it's going to happen at 9 P.M. at the location on the back of these flyers." The earth-bender said.

They both looked in shock.

"How did you know there was a map on the back of them?" Korra asked curiously.

Haru sighed as they sat on a bus stop bench.

"I did some undercover work to find out some things about Amon and got in pretty high ranked in his chi blocker squad. I meet him a few times also. So I know how he operates things." Haru said

"That's how you know how to fight them!" Korra said in awe.

"Yes and it is a useful talent to learn. As I infiltrated his group, it turned out that he had a mole in the police department. The mole found out I was there and I was nearly captured by him personally but I managed to fight him off evenly until my backup arrived and he fled. We later found the mole, who was a very flirty secretary." Haru explained

One could see the look of respect on Mako's face. He had heard things about Amon and one was that he was a ruthlessly good chi blocker. For Haru to hold his own against the masked man was definitely a testament to the man's skills.

Korra just really wanted to have a spar with Haru with earth-bending now.

"Anyway, let's turn these flyers over and connect them." Haru said

"Like a puzzle?" Korra asked with amusement.

"Yep." He nodded.

"Let's see, there are four different images. So if we do this…" Mako said as he connected the images and put it towards the bus stops map, "and bingo, we got it." Mako said happily.

"Nice. There's a police safe house on the way for undercover operations where we can get some clothes to disguise ourselves in." Haru said as he walked to Toothless.

"Meet me at the corner of Kuruk and Roku!" he shouted as he took off.

After picking up the cloths he met the others and changed into the cloths, Haru wore a brown trench coat and hat to conceal his identity. The three traveled down the street looking for anything that looked like a hideout. Toothless was jumping roof to roof to avoid being spotted. They some people head into an old warehouse.

"This looks like the place." Mako said as they walked toward the entrance. Haru almost didn't notice Korra's arm encase his.

They stood in the audience and heard a voice over the ringing through the building.

"Please welcome your hero! Your savior! Amon!"

The crowd cheered as Amon and his guard rose from the stage.

Amon walked up to the mike on stage and cleared his throat.

"My quest for equality began many years ago. When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich and none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for a fire-bender that extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did…that fire-bender took my family from me. Then…he took my face. I've been force to hide behind a mask ever since." Amon said and paused.

"As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City."

The crowd boo'd.

"And if she were here she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world, but she is wrong! The only thing bending has brought to the world is suffering. It has been the cause of every war in every era. But that is about to change. I know you have been wondering what is the Revelation? You are about to get your answer! Since the beginning of time, the spirits have been guardians of our world and they have spoken to me!"

The crowd gasped.

"They say the Avatar has failed humanity! And that is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make equality a reality. The power…to take a person's bending away, permanently!" Amon said menacingly.

"That's…impossible. There is no way." Korra said in denial.

"This guy is insane." Mako responded.

"Not really." Haru said. "Avatar Aang removed Fire Lord Ozai's bending towards the ending of the 100 year war. From what I found out, an ancient spirit had taught it to him. I wonder if Amon came in contact with that spirit or maybe another that showed him how to do it. It would explain how he would get rid of benders much better than the plans I thought up he would do." The auburn muttered to them.

"Now…for a demonstration." Amon said, "Please welcome, 'Lightening Bolt' Zolt, leader of the Triple Threat Triad and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City."

The crowd boo'd at him.

"Ah boo yourself!" the tied up triad leader shouted.

Another four benders sat nearby surrounded by chi blocker, one happened to be Bolin.

"There's Bolin." Korra said and she was about to rush the stage until Haru grabbed her shoulder,

"Are you nuts? We need a plan to extract Bolin without getting Amon and those chi blockers on our tails afterwards."

"Alright Haru, but think fast." Korra said trusting Haru.

"Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing none benders, but his reign of terror is about to come to an end! Now, in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending." Amon said.

Haru watch the 'battle', if one could even call it that, end very quickly as Amon pressed his thumb to Zolt's forehead and then pushed the fire-bender to the ground.

Zolt tried to get up and shot a fireball at Amon, but nothing happened.

"Wha-what did you do to me?" Zolt asked in fear.

"Your fire-bending is gone…forever." Amon told the now ex-fire-bender.

Amon turned to the crowd, "The era of bending is over. A new era of equality has begun!"

The crowd started to cheer wildly.

"Any idea's yet?" Korra asked Haru as Mako waited for the game plan.

"Yes. Mako, I need you to get as close to the stage as you can. I'm going to create some cloud cover when it's Bolin's turn. Korra you get my back as I clear a way for Mako and Bolin to run through. Then we jump on Toothless and get out of here. Got it?" Haru asked.

They nodded.

"Good." Haru said as Mako slowly advanced towards the stage.

Haru saw that Mako was close enough and raised his hands and foot into the air and stomped hard, thus creating a large dust cloud that filled the entire building.

The crowd started to panic and run about as Mako jumped to the stage and threw a chi bender who was going to recapture Bolin into the distance and grabbed his brother's hand as they ran to Haru.

The cloud cover slowly died and some chi blockers surrounded both Korra and Haru and the blonde raised a large pentagon wall and pushed the walls forward and Korra did the same.

Haru saw Mako and Bolin as they stopped right next to them.

"Alright, we got to bulldoze our way out of here. Everyone grab on to me!" Haru ordered

The group did as instructed and Haru created an earth wave and rode it outside.

"Get on Toothless while I block them off!" Haru instruct and he made a large earth wall that blocked off the entire alley way from the chi blockers.

Haru stood on top of the wall he made and looked right at Amon.

Nothing was said between the two, but the message was clear.

'We will meet again and fight once more.'

Haru jumped down and headed home.

Air Temple Island

Korra, Haru and Toothless walked down a hall in the temple silently till they saw Tenzin and some White Lotus sentries.

Tenzin turned to see them and looked relieved.

"Thank goodness. I was just about to send out a search party. Are you both alright?" the air master asked with concern.

Korra just shook her head.

"Did you find your friend?" Tenzin asked.

"Yes, we did. But we found out how Amon is planning to deal with benders." Haru said

"We were at an Equalist rally. We saw Amon. He can take peoples bending away, for good!" Korra said.

"That's, that's impossible. Only the Avatar has ever possessed that ability." Tenzin argued.

"We saw him Uncle Tenzin. With our own eyes, we saw it." Haru stated.

Tenzin sighed, "I believe you both. I don't know how Amon has achieved this power, but this means the Revelation is more dangerous than ever." He said as he looked at the city in the distance.

"No bender is safe."
