Chapter 9
MAKO POV
Korra and Asami were awesome. At first I thought they wouldn't make it to the finals but now I think they will win, they have to. It would make things so much easier. They would know the truth about me and Bolin and our relationships would become so much stronger. When the finals are over Korra will finally know the truth for I will be the one who will be announced as the big boss and congratulate the winners on their rightfully deserved spot at the triple triads. I just hope that Korra will stay with me when she knows who I am but I think she will, I mean like, she is also part of the underworld of Republic City so I think she won't have a problem with me being the leader, the big boss. But first, the finals.
BOLIN POV
Asami was in the final. I couldn't believe it. She was an awesome fighter, not something I expected. She seemed so girly and sweet but when she fights she is so badass. And hot! I couldn't keep my eyes of her during her matches. She defeated more than 10 guys and now she is so close to winning this tournament. It was time for her match to begin. She had to go against another girl, she was about Asami's age and looked kind of the same only then a water tribe version of Asami with brown hair and blue eyes. Both girls went to their corners and got ready for the match to begin. The bell rang. The water tribe girl sprinted towards Asami, ready to hit her with her fist. But Asami quickly ducked and the girl ran in to the ropes on the side of the platform. Asami stood still, waiting for the girl to come at her again. And that happened fast. After the girl ran into the ropes she turned around quickly to launch herself at Asami. Asami dodged her again and the girl started to become tired. She leaned on her knees with her hands and looked down, catching her breath. Not such a smart idea afterwards because Asami saw her chance and tackled the girl onto the ground and simply sat there on her, her hands holding the girl's wrists above her head. It seemed like the match was over but then Asami made a mistake, her grip loosened. She tried to recover quickly from this but the girl was already gone from underneath her. The water tribe girl ran to a corner and stayed there. The crowd started to cheer 'Qíng, Qíng, Qíng'. The girl started to get confident again. She threw punches towards at Asami with everything she had, so much passion and soul were in her fighting and that made her such a worthy opponent. But Asami, as smooth and quick she was, dodged every single punch Qíng threw at her. All but one. Qíng had made a surprise attack by using her other fist than her punching fist. It caught Asami off guard and sent her to the ground. Qíng quickly sat on Asami and held her hands just like Asami had done. Qíng was positive she had won but had forgotten about one thing, Asami was ten times stronger and had a better technique. It didn't take Asami long to get underneath Qíng. Asami started to threw punches at Qíng. Qíng dodged some of them but most of them were a direct hit. Qíng kept standing, knowing that if she touched the ground the match would be over. The water tribe girl started to walk backwards, losing her confidence just as quickly she had gained it again. The crowd had another favourite as they started shouting 'Asami, Asami, Asami'. Qíng started to trip over her own feet and Asami started to help her and let her trip over her left foot while she kept punching. Qíng fell backwards onto her back on the ground. Asami got on top of her and knowing she had lost, Qíng yelled the words that ended the match 'I yield! You have won!'. I was so happy, I ran out the room and ran to Asami. I hugged her and kissed her with all my power. She smiled a small smile at me. I leaned towards her ear and whisper that I was proud of her and that I would take her out to celebrate when this was over. Her smile grew and I picked her up and got her to a separate room. I stayed with her for the rest of the time holding her hand. A few minutes later she was all done and we quickly got back, seeing Korra already fighting on the platform against her opponent.
MAKO POV
This was the most exciting moment of my life. That was my girl fighting and she was awesome and badass and sexy and my heart felt like exploding watching her move the way she did. Her opponent was very good, also very formal. I had heard of him. His name was Zhànshì. He was a soldier who got fired because he got in a lot of fights and he always killed his opponents or he got them badly injured or disabled. I hoped this wouldn't turn out that way. Zhànshì was a very big soldier, he had broad shoulders and muscles that were as hard as metal. And then I do not mean the metal that you can bend, I mean the unbendable metal. Korra was having a hard time defeating him but she was at the winning hand. I was in between places, a part of me wanted to watch the fight to see her win but another part of me seemed to know that she was gonna get hurt at some point and did not want to look any longer. I was going to watch, I had to. Otherwise people were gonna think I was soft and I also needed to know when I had to stop the match or when to run to her to help her. I watched the match with a close eye. Korra was water bending a giant wave and Zhànshì was busy freezing her feet to the ground so her wouldn't get washed away, smart idea. Korra released the wave and I thought for a moment that the whole arena would get washed away. The water dripped down to the drain beneath the platform and Zhànshì quickly unfroze his feet. Korra seemed to have put a lot of her energy in that last attack and I was worried. The soldier got into a formal stance and decided to do the octopus move, he threw icicles at Korra, only to get evaded by her. He released the water and bended it into a giant whip and lashed it at her. She tried to avoid the whip and it looked like she did it but when Zhànshì had bended the water back into the drain I could finally see the damage. Korra was bleeding from her stomach, it wasn't a big wound but there was some blood. She had to finish this fight quickly because if she didn't treat the wound quickly she would lose too much blood. I saw her grab at her stomach and winced at the pain. I wanted to run towards her but I knew I couldn't. He didn't do anything the rules, not that there were a lot of rules. Korra toughened up and got into a stance. She bended water only Zhànshì couldn't see it, she bended the water behind his back and surprised him with a wave crashing onto him. He washed away and almost fell off the platform but unfortunately he recovered just before he would fall and got onto his feet. He summoned a great amount of water and made a giant sphere over the platform. He held the water there for a few moments and I saw Korra sighing, knowing that she had lost. He turned the water into icicles and lashed at Korra. I screamed at Korra that she had to win and because I did that everything else seemed like a blur. One moment Zhànshì sent icicles at Korra, next thing I know she is lying on the ground. She didn't move anymore.
Another Author's Note: Cliffhanger! You guys probably hate me right now, sorry guys!
I know I made up names but here are the meanings of the names;
Qíng is chinese for passion. I thought it was appropriate because she fought with so much passion and soul.
Zhànshi is chinese for soldier. He is a soldier after all :)
My next chapter will be updated in I think two weeks, sorry it will take so long but I have a lot of tests this week at school -.-
See you next chapter!
