Author's Note: I'm sorry if the ending is a bit too much WHAT THE GOAT for you. I don't own the legend of korra of Avatar or Avatar: the last airbender so there.

CHAPTER TWO: STOWAWAYS

HIGHTON

Dang. If Michi wanted to knock me out, all she had to do was TOUCH one of the lumps of my head, not do a super pro-bending kazam K.O. smack down on the forehead. I opened my eyes. Or at least I think I did. It was pitch-black either way. Dangit Michi, I thought. You and your kung fu classes have turned me blind.

I heard snoring beside me. I turned over and saw the unmistakable silouhette of Michi, comfortably lying on the soft ground. I felt it and realized it was covered in hay. I tried to stand up but ended up bumping my head. On the exact same place Miss Hiy-ah rained a superpunch down on me. And then I realized something.

We were in a box. And the woozy feeling in my stomach told me we were sailing.

"Michi!" I hissed.

"Huh, whozzat," she mumbled sleepily.

"Michi, this is the police," I said in a deep voice.

Instantly her eyes snapped open.

"I didn't- Oh, Highto. sorry 'bout knocking you out. I had to, it was the only way to get you to stop nagging me," She explained hastily.

"Yeah, yeah. Where are we?" I asked, not even implying about how she escaped.I wasn't surprised at all.

"I think I should be asking the questions," Michi replied. "You're an airbender, and you didn't tell me?"

"I never knew! If I knew I was an airbender I would have gone to the Avatar!"

"Hmph."

"Now that your question session is done, where are we?"

"On a boat," She drawled, knowing exactly what I meant.

"Michi, c'mon."

"Fine! But if you freak out, I'm knocking you out...again. We're on a trip to Ba Sing Sae."

"What! What! Who-Why-" Michi drawed her fist back in a menacing gesture.

"Okay! Okay! don't knock me out!" She threw her fist forward.

"No,no, don't don't!" I yelled.

"Shhh!" Michi shushed.

"Oh, don't tell me we're stoaways."

She didn't say anything.

"So what is this, a box?"

"Yep," she replied smugly. "They think they're smuggling explosives."

"Smuggling? We're on a criminal ship?!"

"It was the only one that didn't go by inspection!" She retorted.

"Oh, Spirits." I lay back down again, letting the hay engulf me. Then I realized what caused all of this in the first place. "Michi, sorry, I knew you're just trying to protect me. But do you know who those men where?"

"No, Highto." Michi sat up. "But let's focus on our top priority. Rescuing the others is later.

I grinned. She was already on board with the unspoken plan. But as quick as it appeared, my grin faded away.

"What do you mean "top priority?" I still couldn't see Michi, but a could see her fist raised, a sure sign I was going to freak.

"We have to find the Avatar."

"Michi?"

"Yeah?"

"Punch me."

When Michi slapped me awake, I noticed that we had stopped moving. Michi mouthed we're here and I nodded. All of a sudden, a felt as if someone was carrying the box. I almost yelped but Michi clamped her hand over my mouth. The person who was carrying the box seemed to not notice how heavy the it was. After a while of lightness, we were harshly set down on rough ground. I heard a deep voice say to leave the boxes here. I took that as a sign to escape, but as quickly as a rose Michi shoved me back down again.

"They say that to make sure no one's hiding in the boxes, they're way to lazy to check," she whispered. I nodded once more without asking how she knew that. Michi knew a lot of strange things, a sign of an exceptional thief. I heard the people on the ship whisper to each other and the unmistakable sound of a boat leaving harbour. Then quietly Michi opened the top of the crate. I thought I would be blinded by the sudden burst of light, but when I opened my eyes, All I could see were stars in the night sky. Michi had already climed out and I followed her. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. After a day like mine, I could use a little rest. I looked around, Michi doing the same. I saw that we were at a deserted harbour, broken houses around the area. There was a road that led down to a festive area (or atleast more festive than here) where citezens were walking with their children. They soon dissapeared from sight. I guessed where we were was a shady neighbourhood.

I saw a couple of kids notice how we came out of the box. The oldest seemed to be our age,with long brown hair and green eyes. and she stepped forward. But before she could say anything, Michi said:

"We're stoaways looking for sleep, where can we find some?"

She looked surprised at first but then pointed towards the road that I was looking at before.

"Deserted airship that way," She said tersely.

Michi took my hand and sprinted down the road before the girl could say anything else.

"Michi, wha-"

"It was a kidnap. I saw three guys on the rooftops around us."

I said nothing, wide-eyed. Was I glad Michi was with me. "So where is this 'deserted airship?' And what is an airship anyways?"

"She was probably telling some truth about that. Oh, an airship is this prototype Future Industries created.

"So where is it? And why is it only in Ba Sing Sae?"

"Probably down here somewhere. I dunno."

"There!" I exclaimed. "Where?!" Replied and excited Michi.

"Right there!"

I was pointing to a huge device that looked like an oversized..well...just oversized. It looked like a curved ship with no sails. That had green glass in the front, With no wood on it like normal ships, but instead iron. PIcture a ship, then expand it until its huge, then replace wood with yellow metal and green glass in the front, Then turn that upside on the harbour. "How are we supposed to get in there?"

Michi took out here favourite toy since she was five. Her knife.

"Oh."

She ran towards it and jumped. And when Michi jumps, she freaking does a super flying canon jump that's about ten feet in the air. She used her knife and shattered a whole through the front glass, but somehow there was no noise. She looked down at me and whispered:

"Do one of those super airbending jumps!"

"I don't know how!" She took some rope out of an unseen belt and threw it down at me. I grabbed it and she hoisted me up.

Remember what I said earlier? About me being afraid of hights? Well, I almost passed out looking down. "Don't be a wuss!" I heard Michi hiss at me. I was so realived when we went inside the airship that I almost collapsed. I heard Michi chuckle and a flushed. But it wasn't noticable due to the fact that I had light brown skin.

"WHO'S THERE! I HAVE A LAYWER YOU KNOW!"

"Bumi, wouldn't you want to tell them the fierce part of your life?"

"Oh yeah! I CAN BEAT ANY EARTHBENDER IN A ROCK THROWING CONTEST!"

As soo as we heard the voices Michi and I hid. But then I saw a gust of air sweep us into the light. I saw two men, one with a weird yellow and red robe and air nomad tatoos with a beard, and a light brown-haired man wearing a red jacket and brown pants with an even bigger beard. They seemed to still be arguing. Michi and I tried to go to the shadows again, but the tatoos noticed us and yelled:

"Who cares whether or not he was a non-bender! Who are you?" He asked, adressing us.

"Umm...my names Highton and this is Michi- Michi?" I realized my sister wasn't there.

Then I saw her drop from the shadows, knocking out both of the men in one kick. They fell to the ground. All of a sudden six other people came out of the rooms that were lined up in the walls. One I recognized as the avatar, but Michi didn't seem to. She moved forward with cat-like grace and dodged a blast of fire from on of the guys with a brown jacket and black hair that stuck up madly at the front, karate chopping his temple,knocking him out. I felt the urge to help. I had to aid my sister. I willed a blast of air but nothing happened. Looking, I saw Michi battling another girl of the same age, who had long black hair and purple lipstick. It was like nothing I've ever seen before, a ninja battle to end all ninja battles. But the other benders were closing in on her.

Finally the avatar threw a gust of wind and Michi fell to the ground. "Michi!" I yelled.

"ARGHHH!" I was terrified but furious. terefurious. I slashed my hand in the air and a slice of air came out, more powerful than anything I've ever seen. Everyone was knocked back, even me, because of the force of the blast. I smashed my fists together, then twirled around and pushed my hands forward. I had no idea what I was doing, but it seemed to work,because I giant circular wind beam escaped my fell to the ground, but one of the benders, no older than me, jumped up and ran towards me. I did the same move, something I picked up on the danse lessons radio station, but he dived and sliced his ankle, which made a line of air that hit my feet with such force I fell over.

As I lay there, on the brink of unconsciousness, I saw the boy walk towards me. His face was familiar.

"Kai?" I asked.

WHAT THE GOAT?! Haha tell me whatcha think and spread the word!
