Alright I loved that most of you liked my story, so I shall continue you it. It will contain the next episode (episode 6) "And The Winner Is...". So here is chapter 2.
–
The Blood Dragons exited the arena. They removed their helmets and continued to walk in an orderly fashion of a triangle. "Congrats guys." The earth bender boy smiled. His eyes were green and his charcoal-colored hair stuck out in a 'all directions' spike. He had a rather slim body for an earth bender but he wasn't in bad shape.
"Remember Doman, we're not here for the fun. We're here on lookout not to play this stupid game that brings shame to bending." The fire bender of the group scowled and narrowed her eyes at him. Her eyes were the traditional golden eyes of fire benders but her hair was a bright shade of red that was slightly wavy. Her body was slender and had nice-shaped curves.
Doman gave her a sad look and her eyes softened and she gently leaned over and kissed his cheek. Doman then gave her a huge, cheesy grin. Fola stifled a small giggle at them, though she didn't turn around. "Give him a break Tin-Tin. It's not everyday you are granted to be in one of the biggest tournaments in bending." Fola smiled at her 'teammates'. Tin-Tin rolled her eyes before muttering something coherent under her breath, most likely bad-mouthing probending.
"Shh... Here comes our rivals." Fola said while making the word 'rivals' sarcastic. As on queue the Fire Ferrets came around the corner of the stadium. The two teams stared at each other, seeing which one would blink first. Korra cleared her throat, "Great match..." She muttered. "Thanks." Fola said quietly. "So Fola... you're a probender..." Bolin asked awkwardly. Fola almost had to stomp on Tin-Tin's foot before she scoffed at what Bolin said.
"Yeah, that a problem?" Fola forced a grin. "Uh nope, nope. Not at all." Bolin quickly answered. "Well that it?" Fola asked. "Uh yeah." Bolin said and stepped aside so the other team could leave. The Blood Dragons went back to walking in a triangle and walked away from the Fire Ferrets. As soon as they were out of earshot, Mako cleared his throat.
"Something is not right about them... I can feel it." Mako muttered. "Yeah but we can't do anything to them, they haven't done anything... yet." Korra answered. "So Fola's kind of pretty." Bolin dropped 'the bomb', he really wanted to say more but decided against it. Mako and Korra both looked at him wide eyed. "Um... well I'm going to bed." Bolin stammered and quickly walked away before his teammates could say anything. Korra and Mako nodded good bye at each other before splitting ways.

In a dark room you could here a radio being played. "You are listening to to 'The Music Hour'! Brought to you by Cabbage Corp, Republic City's trusted name in technology for over 50 years." The announcer said cheerfully. The radio starts to broadcast static before changing to a dark voice.
"Good morning, citizens of the Republic City. This is Amon. I hope you all enjoyed last night's probending match because it would be the last. It's time for this city to stop worshiping bending athletes as if they were heroes. I am calling on the council to shut down the bending arena, and cancel the finals or else there will be severe consequences." The radio goes back to static.
"Perfect that's our golden ticket." An elderly woman's raspy voice could be heard. "Yes Master Rea." A familiar voice said. "Go you know what you must do." The elderly woman ordered. You could here someone turn around and open a heavy metal door. "So Amon decided to go with a more forward response. This is becoming interesting." The woman said.

Fola stood at the front doors listening to the Council bicker among each other. They were about to be unanimous and vote for shutting down the stadium before Korra and her team started heading towards the mains doors of City Hall. Fola cursed under her breath and quickly hid in the shadows so she wouldn't be seen by the Fire Ferrets. Korra quickly opened the door to the Council meeting. Fola couldn't hear much was going except arguing. She tried getting in a better hearing range. "The arena... open... luck... finals." She heard Tarrlock say. 'Perfect.' Fola thought and walked away before being seen by anyone.

The arena was well guarded with Beifong's elite. "You gotta give them credit. They're pretty impressive with coordination." Doman whistled.. "Yeah, whatever. They'll just get in the way though." Tin-Tin growled. The Blood Dragons quickly headed into the arena.
"The anticipation is palpable as we are just moments away from the championship match... but it seems one of the teams have fallen sick and will not attend the match. Though fans do not worry a construction crew edited the arena so the three teams can face each other! Will the Wolfbats' ferocity help them repeat as champs? Or will the underdog Fire Ferrets serve up a surprising bowl of smack down soup? Or maybe the Blood Dragons blow away both teams before the first round." Shiro Shinobi announced. The Blood Dragons and the Fire Ferrets were already in their places preparing for the fight.
"Introducing the challengers, the Future Industries Fire Ferrets." Shiro said. Their fans cheered as they escalated onto the arena. "We're on Pabu." Bolin whispered to his ferret. The ferret quickly did his little dance. The Blood Dragons raised an eyebrow. "So that was... interesting." Tin-Tin muttered. "Shut up Tin-Tin, it was cute." Fola rolled her eyes at Tin-Tin. Tin-Tin bit her tongue from say anything else.
"And the other challengers, the Blood Dragons!" Shiro announced. They were escalated to the arena as well. They didn't wave or look at their fans as they cheered them on. "And their opponents, and the three timed champions. The White Falls Wolf Bats!" Shiro announced. The Wolf Bats wore fancy masks and capes and howled at their fans while fireworks went off. The fans howled and screamed back.
"Wow, that looked and sounded really stupid." Doman muttered. Tin-Tin and Fola giggled at him. "The champs and the challengers face off at the center-line and here we go!" Shiro yelled and the bell rang for the match to start. The Wolf Bats focused on the Fire Ferrets sending them back but were unprepared when the Blood Dragons maintained control on the Wolf Bats.
The Wolf Bats used a lot of dirty tricks and knocked the Fire Ferrets back. But the Fire Ferrets remained cool and even got for single combat. The referee spun a dice, that had two sides for each team, for the teams to do 1x1 combat or 1x1x1 combat. The red side, or the Fire Ferrets, won the roll. "I got this." Korra said narrowing her eyes at Tahno, who just grinned wickedly. Fola, Korra, and Tahno walked to the center before they were escalated. Korra was impressive and quickly sent Tahno over with a little 'help' from Fola. She looked over at Fola before attacking her. Fola dodged her attacks but Korra was persistent. Fola smiled and stopped. Korra took the opportunity and pushed her other with some water bending. Korra looked shocked as Fola flew over the side. Bolin and Mako cheered at Korra but she was still a little disturbed by Fola's feigning attempt.
The third round quickly began. The Wolfbats did a bit more cheating by combining water and earth plates and sending it six different ways. The Fire Ferrets and the Blood Dragons were quickly sent into the water. Shiro announced the Wolfbats were the winner but not happily.
Some of the 'fans' did not cheer or boo, they were pulling ouy objects out of locations like popcorn bags. You could see electric shocks across the arena. Everyone looked shocked and they quickly panicked.
The Blood Dragons swam out of the water to the edge. "Dirty tricks." Doman muttered and coughed up some water. "I think the Fire Ferrets are still under..." Fola looked down but quickly looked up see the electric going through the stands.
"Folks there has been some electrical disturbances in the stands. The metal bender cops are dropping like bumble flies. They appear to be masked members of the audience wielding strange devices on their hands," Kiro said as a masked member opens the door to his commentary room, "One of them is in the booth with me right now, folks! He is leveling one of those glove devices at me now and I believe he is about to electrocute me. I a m currently wetting my pants." Kiro said fearfully before the Equalist electrocutes him.
The Wolfbats were starting to get scared. "What's going on ref?" Tahno asked scaredly. "I don't know!" The cheating referee yelled back. Amon and a few of his other guards appeared on the arena. "Alright you want a piece of the Wolfbats? Here it comes!" Tahno yelled and the Wolfbats started trying to attack Amon that came onto the stage.
Amon evaded the attacks against him. Though they didn't last long against the Equalist. "Wait, please don't do this! I'll give you the championship pot. I-I'll give you everything please just don't take my bending." Tahno pleaded in fear. Amon ignored his begging and placed a finger to his forehead, taking away his bending.
After a while the Wolfbats were thrown off the arena Amon quickly began his speech. "I believe I have your attention, benders of Republic City. So once again, the Wolfbats are your pro-bending champions. It seems fitting that you celebrate three bullies who cheated their way to victory because every day, you threaten and abuse your fellow non-bending citizens just like what the Wolfbats did to their opponents tonight. Those men were supposedly the best in the bending world and yet it only took a few moments for me to cleanse them of their impurity. Let this be a warning to all of you benders out there: if any of you stand in my way, you will meet the same fate.Now to my followers, for years the Equalists have been forced to hide in the shadows but now we have the numbers and the strength to create a new Republic City. I'm happy to tell you that the time for change has finally come..." Amon began his speech. Very soon, the tyrannical bending regime will be replaced by fair minded Equalist government. You and your children will no longer need to walk afraid, it's time to take back our city. For centuries, benders possessed an unnatural advantage over ordinary people but thankfully modern technology has provided us with a way to even out the playing field. Now anyone can hold the power of a chi-blocker in their hand. My followers and I will not rest until the entire city achieves equality and once that goal is achieved, we will equalize the rest of the world. The revolution has begun!" Amon finished.
The guards behind him stood stoic until something caused them to grunt. Their bodies fell to the ground and their head were lifted and forced down, knocking them out instantaneously. Amon looked at the guards but he didn't seemed to phase. He looked back out into the crowd and noticed that the electrocutions had stopped.
"We should have known." A voice said behind Amon. He looked behind him to see three robed figures. Each had a different color robe; blue, green, and orange. They all had blood red masks that covered up their entire faces. Amon didn't respond to the three robed figures. The one with the green robed looked below them. "Hm?" He could feel something but it was to late. The arena was detonated with explosives. The three figures jumped out of the way as the floor below them started to crumble to the ground.

"Tenzin!" Lin whispered sharply at the unconscious man. The Equalists were still surrounding them. Watching their leader's speech. Lin noticed someone standing behind her. The Equalists quickly and suddenly fell to the ground. They lifted their heads and quickly smashed their own skulls against the ground. Lin looked up to see two robed figures with blue robes and blood red masks behind them. She quickly got up and nodded her appreciation at the robed figures. Before shooting her steel rods out to fight the Equalists.

So I hope it wasn't that bad. I was using the script for this episode considering I haven't worked my characters to well into the story. Though the next chapters will be less script and more AU.
