Korra looked up, her eyes glowing brightly, she had finally opened herself to the Avatar state, there was no other option. Amon reeled back in surprise and then tried to contain her with blood bending. The team watched wide eyed as the elements began to swarm around their friend, cutting wind orbited her, rocks began to cling to her body like armour and fire engorged her hands and feet.
She walked forward calmly as if nothing could hold her back, Amon turned to run but she was behind him in an instant and her fist drilled into his spine. He shot forward, rolling and skidding along the floor, and before he could even try to get up her flaming fists shot rapid fire towards him.
He managed to scrape himself away and ran towards the docks.
Korra followed, her feet not even touching the floor any more. The team followed using Naga and Asami's satocycle. They had trouble keeping up but kept them both in sight.
The Avatar sealed Amon in a pyramid of rock and her palm shot a cutting vortex of air at his head, scratches appeared on his face but he was otherwise unharmed. She got closer but he managed to free one arm and sent a tidal wave from the ocean towards Korra who breezed through it like it was nothing more then a strong wind.
Panicked he pulled the water back and dragged himself into the sea, disappearing into the blackened waves.
Mako jumped off of Naga and ran towards her as she made to follow Amon, or Noatak as they found out when he admitted who he was. He pulled her arms back, ignoring the fire flickering up his arms from her. "Korra he's gone..we won..you have to calm down!" She stayed still for a long while, the others watched apprehensively as the two remained in place.
The wind began to subside and the flamed died out. The rocks dropped off Korra's body and she fell back into Mako's arms. He held her gently and pulled her up bridal style in his arms.
She looked up at him looking like she had no more energy left to spare, he smiled at her and she smiled a little back. "Mako..where is Mao? We gotta find her.."
"We will, I promise."
Republic city was looking little worse for ware but the people seemed happy, non benders and benders all helped to patch up the damage caused by Amon and the equalists. Korra, Mako and Bolin were flattening the torn up streets, Bolin and Korra would flatten the stone, then she and Mako would melt the rock so not even a crack was visible. Asami and Iroh were handing out water to the workers who were helping out and her Sato-mobile was playing the radio. The news announcer put out another message asking the city if they saw Mao anywhere to report it immediately. It had been over two weeks now and not a single sign of her.
When the team got back to the city hall they found the spot where she'd been laying void of her body, just a small puddle of blood remained and a bloodied footprint. They first thought that she'd gone to find them, others said she was kidnapped. Councilman Tarlock had also escaped prison somehow, a few people said a spirit appeared near his cell then the next minute he was gone.
Korra sat by the Sato-mobile and Asami handed her a bottle of water,which she drained in moments then looked down.
"Don't worry Korra I'm sure Mao is fine. She was brave and strong, hey she even knocked that lying good for nothing in the head. I'm sure a girl like that can handle herself."
Korra looked up with a half smile. "You really think so?"
Asami smiled and nodded, Mako came over to re-assure her too. Bolin was being fawned over by some of Tahno's old groupies and he was loving the attention. Korra almost laughed watching him show off. She still had yet to give Tahno his bending back, something she found she could do after entering the avatar state.
Once they had their break they got back to work repairing the city under the watchful eye of Tenzin and Lin.
Epilogue
Somewhere in the middle of the earth kingdom, a large dark grey truck was roaring along the road, sending dust out behind it. The door at the back started slamming open and closed as it was jostled over bumps in the road, the two men in the front wearing identical expressions of disappointment and seething anger. Neither said a word but they both had a goal in mind for the next city they would reach.
The engine began to putter and finally breathed it's last breath in a loud gasp. The men glared at the front of the vehicle and the younger of the two got out to investigate what was wrong.
Clinging to the undercarriage was a female, her face masked and eyes glowing with steel hard determination, hell bent on revenge. The girl dropped from the axles and silently made her way into the front of the truck, opening the door to face the man left inside.
I know this ending chapter is rather short but I have not yet completed a good fanfiction so the more practice I get the better I will be. I hope you all had a good time reading this, feel free to criticise if you think it would help me in future fictions, or just leave reviews and tell me what I did good. I do think this could use a sequel but before I start that I'd like to try my hand at some one shot pairings. Thank you all for reading this far.
