Oh my god, it's really over T-T. The season is over, I teared up a little. The end between Mako and Korra was kind of upsetting but hopefully in the next season there's a SLIGHT hint of romance between Mako and Korra but not get together? If you get what I mean, like flirting. No love triangles or anything of the sort though. It'd be good if the characters got to develop more. Ahhh I'm excited! Ok, enough of that discussion let's go on with the story.
-AT KORRA'S HOUSE-
"You can come in and sit down while I shower and change. My parents aren't home anyways, they're at work," Korra offered as she got out of the car.
"I don't know maybe I should stay in here and wait," Mako said as he cut off the engine.
"Oh, come on, Mako, its cold and I don't want you to freeze, firebender or not," she stood there, not leaving until he gave in.
He sighed. He knew she wouldn't take no for an answer and stepped out of the car. He saw her close her door with a triumphant smirk on her face. 'Stubborn girl.'
They stepped inside and handed him the remote," Here, you can watch some TV while you wait, or play some video games. My Xbox is in the bottom shelf over there by the TV. Enjoy."
She went up to her room, leaving Mako alone in the living room. He took a moment to glance around when he spotted a picture album on one of the tables. 'Well, she's not here to snatch it away. I could take a small look.'
He picked it up and sat down on the couch. The first page he opened up to was a picture of Korra as a newborn and her parents on each side of her. 'She had some chubby cheeks.' He flipped to the next page and saw a picture of a baby Korra wearing a blue dress lined with fur along the edges. Her hair up in a tiny ponytail at the top. He kept flipping and admiring the small family pictures when he came across one that took him by surprise.
It was Korra wearing a simple, yet elegant, light blue strapless dress. There was swirled silver beading on the bodice and more adorn throughout the dress. The style somewhat comparing to that of the dress Cinderella wore. On her neck was a crystal blue necklace that matched her silver drop earrings. Her hair was curled and sitting atop her head was small crystal tiara. What surprised him the most was the make-up. She was wearing make-up. This couldn't be the Korra he knew. He may not have known her for long but he knew enough that Korra wasn't the type to wear all this. In the top right hand corner were the words "Korra's Quinceanera". Well, that explains it.
He put the album back in its proper place and picked up the Xbox remote. He looked over the games Korra had, "GTA, FIFA, Need for Speed, Mortal Kombat, Sims… Just Dance 3?" He hesitated a bit before popping the game into the system. He looked through the song choices and finally decided on "Moves Like Jagger." The song started and his body started moving. What Mako didn't know was that he had an audience watching him.
Korra had just gotten finished getting ready when she heard the song. She slowly crept downstairs and stopped halfway to see Mako dancing along to the song. Korra had to admit, his was a good dancer. He wasn't just moving his hands like most do; he was moving his whole body. Each move was done perfectly and he would add in his own from time to time. He moved so smoothly, she wished she could dance as half as good as that.
The song ended and he sat down, "How isn't she ready yet?"
It was time to come out of hiding," Oh, I've been ready."
He turned around to see her leaning against the railing," How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to see your performance. You're a pretty good dancer, Mako," she said as she walked down the stairs.
A slight blush came to his cheeks," Oh, uh, thanks. So, we ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's go."
-AT THE PARK-
"Um, what are we doing at the park?"
"Just need to take care of some business. You can sit down while I handle it. I won't take long," she shrugged her shoulders and sat down as he left.
Mako took out some money from his pocket and walked towards the fountain where a boy in tattered clothing stood.
"You got the money?" he asked.
"Here you go, Skoochy, $30. Thanks for the tip."
Skoochy took the money from his hands and started counting," Did ya find your brother?"
Mako looked down in disbelief, "I did, but I didn't get there in time. Amon's henchmen got a hold of him and the Triple Threats."
Skoochy's eyes went wide," Amon? Must be planning something pretty serious."
Before Mako could say anything more he heard yelling coming from the other side of the park.
"Police! I'm being oppressed! I'm being oppressed!"
"Oppressed my ass!" that was Korra.
He ran in her direction and saw her grabbing a man by the collar. She let him go and put some flyers into her pocket before running off," Let's scram."
They stopped running after reaching the closest bus stop and plopped down onto the ground. Korra took the flyers out of her pocket and laid them out," Why wouldn't they put locations on these?"
He picked up the flyers and took a closer look at them. They were for Amon's rally," Probably because they don't want just anyone waltzing in to their big "Revelation", whatever that is. I bet the information is hidden on here somehow. Look at the backs. There's four different images."
"So, it's a puzzle?"
"Yeah, of a map!" he grabs four of the flyers and places them next to the city map, trying to match the flyer with the map," bingo! This must be where it's going down!"
"Looks like Amon is getting a few special guests tonight."
-LATER ON THAT NIGHT-
"This is the place."
Here they were standing in front of an old abandoned factory as they fixed their disguises. Mako adjusted his toboggan while Korra tucked her hair in her beanie.
"You ready?" she asked him.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Let's go get, Bolin."
As they entered the building they were stopped by the doorman," This is a private event. No one gets in without an invitation."
"Uh, invitation?"
"You mean this?" Mako hands the doorman the invitation and the doorman waves them off.
"The Revelation is upon us, my brother and sister."
Once they were inside, they were surprised by what they saw. There was such a large crowd talking amongst each other.
Mako looked around the room to see if he spotted his brother," I knew a lot of people hated benders, but I've never seen so many in one place. Keep your eyes out for Bolin."
Both of them were making their way through the crowd to get closer to the stage when the announcer began to speak.
"Please welcome your hero, your savior… Amon!"
There, in the middle of the stage, Amon began to rise from trapdoor along with the Equalists lined up behind him. The crowd cheers and claps while Amon walks up to the microphone.
"My quest for equality began many years ago, when I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich, and none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did, that firebender took my family from me. Then, he took my face. I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since. As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City. And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world. But, she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world, is suffering. It has been the cause of every war in every era. But that is about to change. I know you have been wondering, "What is the Revelation?" You are about to get your answer. Since the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me. They say the Avatar has failed humanity. That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make Equality a reality. The power to take a person's bending away. Permanently."
Korra took a moment to process his words. He said she? The Avatar was a girl, and she was here in Republic City. Why hasn't she come out to public yet? Is she hiding? Is she waiting for the right time to come out of hiding? What is her plan? And then she remembered what else he had said," That's impossible. There's no way you can take away a person's bending."
Amon steps away from the microphone," Now, for a demonstration. Please welcome, Lightning Bolt Zolt., leader of the Triple Threat Triads and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City."
One of the Equalists comes out with a tied up Lightning Bolt Zolt. The crowd begins to boo and hiss at the notorious bender," Ah, boo yourself!" The guard comes back with four more and forces them on their knees. There at the end of the line was a terrified Bolin.
"There's bolin! Come on!" Korra starts walking to the front but Mako pulls her back.
"Wait, we can't fight them all. We need to be smart about this."
"Then come up with a game plan, Mr. Hat Trick," Mr. Hat Trick? Where did that name come from?
"Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing nonbenders, but his reign of terror is about to come to an end. Now, in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending," Amon steps back a few paces to bring space between each other.
Zolt readies himself," You're gonna regret doing that, pal."
Zolt immediately fires at Amon, but Amon dodges the attack easily. Zolt comes closer and fires another shot at him which Amon again dodges. Zolt fires shot after shot, Amon dodging each one until he ducks behind Zolt and twists his wrists away from him. Amon grabs Zolt's neck and placed his thumb on this forehead. Lightning starts to circle around them and soon enough stops. Amon lets him go and Zolt falls to the ground unconscious.
"Wha… What did you to me?" Zolt chokes out.
"Your firebending is gone. Forever. The era of bending is over. A new era of Equality has begun," the crowd cheer and applauds their fearless leader," Now, to take of the rest of the monsters."
"Please, tell me you have a plan," Korra whispers.
"I might. You see those machines over there? They're powered by water and steam. If you can create some cover, I can grab bolin without anyone seeing. Then, we duck out of here," before Korra disappears into the crowd he taps her shoulder," Good luck."
"You too."
Korra carefully walks over to the side exit and runs through the hallway. She comes across a machine and tries to leak air out of it by turning the wheel on the machine, but it wasn't enough. She starts looking for something to hit the machine with but couldn't find anything so she starts kicking it as hard as she can.
"Come. On. Why. Won't. You. Mess. Up. Or. Something."
She grew frustrated with the machine and punched the wall in anger, "Got damn it!"
Right after, the walls caved in on the machine and the steam cloud grows bigger and bigger," Um, good enough for me." She overheard voices down the hall and decided it was time to take her leave.
"Um, hello, Amon, sir. I think there's been a big misunderstanding," Bolin backs up each time Amon gets closer to him.
The steam reached its way into the meeting room, clouding everyone and everything.
"bolin, you all right?"
Bolin jumps into a fighting stance but is relieved when he see's who it is," Yes! Mako! I love you!"
"Let's save the hugs for later. We have to get out of here."
(Well you saw the show you should know what happens with the whole fight scene. Sorry I didn't write it guys! Just trying to get something out there for you guys after not updating for a long time. Again I apologize for the inconvience!)
-CUT TO THE THREE AT THE PARK-
The dynamic trio now lay on the ground panting, trying to catch their breath.
"Thanks. Thanks a lot guys. I love you guys," Bolin huffs out.
"No. Problem," the two reply in unison.
After they catch their breath they sit up and look at one another. Korra breaks the silence.
"Guys, if Amon is able to take bending away, what does that mean for us?" Korra was more concerned about this than she should be. Something was telling her that something needed to be done but what? She felt the need to find a way to protect the people of Republic City from this madman but why?
"Guys."
"Yeah, Bolin?"
"I'm hungry."
Again I am so sorry guys. I have been pretty busy with all these papers and exams this semester. Just trying to get a chapter out for you guys to read. I am very sorry if it's not that good but please feel free to review.
