Hey guys,
thank you for taking your time to read my story. this chapter is a little big and I think that it also could be split into two chapters but I was just to lazy to do so. I finally joined the Canon Storyline. Also I changed writing tenses from present progressive to simple past (hopefully without any mistakes) because I realised that I just messed things up a lot while writing and because it seemed kinda dumb to me now. I will be rewriting the first three chapters soon. Also please take your time to write reviews. The main reason for (at least German) TV to be total shit sometimes is the one-sided flow of Information. If you don't communicate with me about what to do better and stuff this fanfic will not be as good as it could.
Sorry for letting you wait, I had a lot of school stuff to do like course tests, having to hand in my seminar paper (do I use the plural there or not? Please tell me via Private Message or Review.) and a lot of homework.
rant
Bah I hate writing Canon. I watch an episode, think about how I could involve myself, then read the transcript, then watch a tiny part of the episode again then write it and then watch the Episode again to make sure I didnt mess things up. Man this is frustrating. Lucky me the story lines split and I can skip some parts.

I (still) don't own anything of TLOK or anything.
I've had a weird dream. I dreamt of being in the universe of „The Legend of Korra". I dreamt of racing through the streets together with Kai trying to get rid of some policemen or so. I dreamt of being a light-bender. I dreamt of sleeping in the mud with nothing but an empty sack as a blanket. Wait a minute...
I woke up. I hadn't dreamt. I lay in the mud wearing now dirty green robes with an empty sack covering me as a blanket. It was still dark. I saw Kai is still sleeping and didn't want to wake him up. I took a stick and wrote „be right back" into the ground. Then I smeared the message with my foot. 'Different alphabet' innerly slapped myself. 'learn other alphabet' I added to my mental TODO-list.
While walking through the streets in the dark, I had a few problems seeing. Back at my home universe I would be illuminated by street lamps. I don't like them. The night deserves darkness. I also noticed it to be unusually quiet. Even for such a late (or was it early?) hour. There were no late-night-parties annoying me with their hardly tolerable music, no tire squeal from a motorcyclist meaning to have to keep everyone awake in a range as big as the rubber would allow it to be, no kids that were burning their New Years Eve fireworks at Easter.
I was alone. I got the entire city just for myself. I felt free. I wanted to just hop from one roof to another denying gravity, denying exhaustion, denying the risk of a pair of painfully broken legs if I missed a jump. I looked around and searched for a nice house to climb up. I found one really fast - a relatively small stone building giving me access to his slightly higher neighbors. I searched for a way to get up there. I saw that it had a flat roof so I only had to get my hands over the edge of it to be able to pull myself up. Suddenly I stood on top of the roof. With surprise I stepped back and fell. I stood back up and checked, if I got any serious injuries. Luckily I only had a few bruises on my hands and my knees. Just pain, nothing serious.
'I just light-bent myself up there!' I realized. Ecstatic by this insight, I focused on the edge of the building again. After a few seconds of concentration I finally stood on top of the house. Again.
After that, I wanted to know how far this newly learned technique could transport me. I looked up and searched for a nice looking cloud to focus on. After a few seconds of searching the stupidity of this idea hit me like a punch to the chest. 'You almost teleported yourself into the infinity of space or would have fallen to death from that cloud you idiot.' I gave me a mental punch to the forehead. A hard one.
I search for another target to teleport myself to. The surrounding houses block my sight. I focus on the highest of them and in the blink of an eye I ascend a few meters. Once again I teleport myself to the next higher building. This time however I cant just 'jump' to the next higher one for two reasons. First things first there is no higher building around anymore. Second because I am blinded by the sun rising in front of me. Scratch that distance test of the teleport, this sunrise is too beautiful to miss. I sit down at the edge of the roof letting the sun blind me and feel how the cold of the night is slowly substituted by the warmth of that incandescent orb of gas.
After sunset passed I look around to check out what the city I landed in looked like. It was built on some sort of plateau in a sandstone range of mountains. The shape of the city was a half circle. On the flat side there was a cliff. Behind it I only could figure out the vague shapes of even more mountains in the mist. Right next to the cliff was a market place of some sort. Well it was an open plane with a fountain in the middle. However I cant see any stalls. Seems like most of the traders are operating on the market place where I tested out my pick-pocketing „skills". The arc of the half circle is circumscribed by a natural wall of rocks. Behind the wall I can only see more Mountains made out of sandstone.
Behind the cliff I saw an airship with propellers on the side. That must be the air-benders ship. I had to go back to Kai. I looked around searching for the bakery where Kai and I found a place to sleep. 'Gary don't even think about it!' I found the bakery pretty quickly, it was just a few hundred meters away.
In the blink of an eye I was there. I jumped down the roof, walked around the building just to find a deserted sleeping place. I teleport to the roof of the bakery from where I go to my sunrise place again. I look at the cliff and see that the airship has arrived and a crowd has formed. I transport myself into a street about 100 meters away from the cliff market place. By the time I arrive their the show has already begun.
„I will" I heard Korra „with my air-bending skills." „So poor..." A familiar voice whispered nearby, perfectly synchronizing with my thoughts. I turned my head towards the owner of that voice to see Kai trying to hide laughter at how cheap this show was. „Still better than living on the streets." I whispered to him. „You got a point." he replied. Seeing a a blur of red and yellow approach me I ducked to make room for Jinora flying with the use of her air glider. I watch her doing a few tricks before she uses the staff as a rotor to land on a pillar. 'Let's test how spontaneous you can react kiddo' I thought. I teleported on top of that column. „Sorry, comes first serves first" I say. She noticed me to late and knocked me off the pillar. I immediately light-bent myself back up and return the favor of knocking the other one off. She used her glider staff to stay in the air and looks straight into my eyes. „Could you let me have this spot? My arm is getting tired." „Alright there you are." I got back to the ground.
The crowd broke up and I saw Kai walking towards the group. „Hey, Hello. If you are looking for air-benders you just found one." he said and showed off some of air-bending skills. „Lets make two out of them." I add appearing next to Kai. „So, what do you have?" Korra asks, arms folded. „Well it's not exactly air-bending, you know." God how I hate it when my voice fails me. „I am a light-bender and I was..." „A LIGHT-BENDER?" Tenzin cut me off. „Light-bending is an extinct form of air-bending, barely any knowledge is retained of this. It's rather a myth, a legend." „I can prove it if you want to" with these words I teleported on top of the airship. „But.." I stood on the pillar „you can also" I was back in front of Tenzin. I leaned to the right to look past him. „take my word for it." I finished my sentence, standing on the top end of the airship's ramp. I looked over my shoulder to be given the sight of seven completely confused looking humans. „Now when are we leaving?"
„Whoa calm down first we need permission of your parents." „My parents are... gone." Kai answered, a bit sad. „You are an orphan?" Bolin asked full of sympathy. „It happened about a year ago." Kai told. „My home town was raided by outlaws, but my parents fought back against them. I was so scared, but they told me not to worry they would protect me, and they did. My parents saved me and the entire village, but they died in the fight. Mum and pap meant everything to me, they're were my whole life. Ever since then, I've been on the run. Those same outlaws are still after me."
„I am extremely sorry for you Kai, must be a terrible situation you are in." „I'm so sorry about your parents. I know we could never replace them ..." Tenzin put his hand on Kai's shoulder „but we are here for you."
„And what about you other-guy-I-don't-know? Are your parents OK with this?" Bolin asked me. „First of all my name is Michael. And about my parents it is a bit complicated but... I also lost them. very recently." I slowly said, my head sinking. „However they are not dead, they are just not around at the moment." I added. I heard motorcycles behind me. The familiar sound of engines rattling and the familiar squeak when stopping."Release the boy or we'll take him by force!" „The outlaws! They are here... Uh let's get out of here" a frightened Kai urged to leave. „We are not running away from anyone." „Korra, let me draw their fire, you take them out." I said turning around to face four henchmen and their leader.
The henchmen were firing rocks at us and Korra got out of the way quickly, pushing herself up via air-bending. I stood there and waited for the projectiles to reach me. I took one small step to the left to avoid the first rock, jumped over a second , punched a third into the ground just before it hits me and blinked past a fourth one. I saw Korra using an earth wave to take out two henchmen. The other two of them were also taken out by her with an air wave. Just the leader was still on his feet „I got this one" I demanded. Korra understood and backed up. I blink on top of the airplane and jump down. He shoots a barrage of rocks to the position where I am going to land. Just before I hit the ground I blink directly over him and use the impact to knock him out.
„Your days of harassing an innocent boy are over. You outlaws are going to prison." Korra walked toward their leader. „Outlaws? Innocent boy? I'm a sheriff! And these are my deputies. And this kid is a thief. Whatever he told you was a lie. We have been chasing him for months." The surprised avatar turned back „Where is Kai?" I wasn't surprised to see Mako dragging him back.
„I told you I was going to the bathroom..." „With a stash of gold?" „I told you I found this on the road." I appeared by Kai's side. „Wanna talk about poor?" I teased him, only to make him try to elbow me while being held on the metaphorical leash by Mako.
„I don't know what you are referring to and honestly don't want to. Just tell me, this time without lying, who are you and how are you related to these people." This time the sheriff opened his mouth. „The truth is, he's the outlaw. Lived on the streets as an orphan his entire life, got adopted by a nice family 'bout six months ago and the only thing that came to his mind was to steal their entire life savings. We've been after him ever since." „Is that true?" Korra didn't want to believe it. „The person who stole that stuff was the old me." „The person who returned it was..." I throw in „oh wait, it wasn't you. Sorry for cutting you off, carry on." he shoots me a glare. „Once I got air-bending, I changed. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like air-bending choose me for a reason, like I'm a new person. I'm sorry! Pleaseyouhavetolistentome." he panicky says being dragged away by the police.
„Are you taking him back to the orphanage?" Bolin shyly asked. „No, he's headed to jail." the sheriff replies. They continue to drag Kai away. „Wait, you got the family's life savings, now let us take Kai." Korra stops them. „To you really want the first member of the Air Nation to be a liar and a thief?" Tenzin questions. I scowl. „Hey you could always define him to be the second." Tenzin and Korra immediately shot me glares. „That's not the point, sorry. Well in my opinion he just needs a bit of guidance. And I think you are definitely a person who can do this."
„You want this boy or not?" The sheriff urges. Tenzin takes a moment before formulating an answer. I can already see the gears in his head turn. „Yes. You can release the boy into our custody." "Thank you!" Kai hugged Korra. "Don't make regret it" she warmly replied. Now that the little-bro-hole in Bolin's heart was filled he joined the embrace. I just quickly went into the ship searching for a nice place to sit down and not destroy anything.

So how did you like this (very long) chapter?
I am more than satisfied with this one. Please review/follow/favorite this chapter/story/story. I would really appreciate it.
Also I need some Ideas how to explain the I-am-from-another-universe-thing. I still have no idea how (and when) to get that done.
Thanks for reading
bye *waves*
