Chapter 10

Kyo stood there with wide eyes as she watched at what happened before her. Amon was... blood bending? That would have to mean he was a water bender... And that meant that he was a hypocrite! Well, that didn't actually bother her at all. You see, this whole, 'revolution' thing, it was really no concern of hers. She was completely neutral in this entire thing. And Kyo could also see where he had been getting at.

The woman hadn't been born in a cardboard box. She had seen what quite a few benders had done to none benders. But being Kyo, and somewhat of an ass, she hadn't bothered to do anything about it. Just like everyone else. Except for her goodie-goodie sister. You had to love Korra. But you have already heard this rant, haven't you?

She glanced at the lieutenant beside her and he looked right back. Then the stupid mustache guy decided to make his presence known.

"Amon! Everything the Avatar said is true, isn't it?" He spoke up, walking towards the man. Kyo stood still and watched her powerless little sister collapse on the floor. Amon kept his back turned to them. "I just saw you blood bend her!" The lieutenant pointed an accusing finger at his leader. The masked man slightly turned and looked in their direction. Mr. Mustache Man pulled his mask off and smashed it, under his foot. "You traitor! I dedicated my life to you!"

Call her weird and rude, but despite the current situation, she wanted to chuckle as the lieutenant pulled out his snazzy, little electric rods and charged towards Amon. But the attack didn't go as planned. Lieutenant was lifted off the ground in an awkward and somewhat painful looking position in the air. The man grunted in pain and Kyo could hear his blood swishing around inside of him, making awful crunchy sounding noises.

It didn't look like she was noticed by Amon yet. But if she was, would he do the same to her? Because it would both mentally and physically hurt her if he did. But that was just judging from what she saw right now. For the physical part anyways. Kyo new for a fact that it would definitely hurt mentally.

"You served me well, Lieutenant." He spoke, slowly curling his fingers. The cries from the mustache man turned in to a sharp gasp, and he was thrown towards a bunch of wooden poles. Then he carelessly turned and started to blood bend that one fire bending kid. Mako, or something like that. But this attack didn't last long either. The brat shot lightening right at Amon.

Kyo's blood ran cold at the masked man's scream. "Hey!" She yelled obnoxiously, quickly darting towards the three of them and sending a wave of hot white and blue flames towards that Mako person. As she did, Amon went flying over her head and in to the wall behind her. Mako sent a couple punches of fire towards Kyo, but she easily dodged them. They hit the wall with Amon and sent a pile of wood and other crap, landing on top of him. Then he turned and ran towards the limp Korra.

The woman looked in wide eyes at were Amon had landed and then shot a cold and deadly look to the boy and her sister. She sent her own lightening towards him, but Mako turned and managed to redirect it back at her. The shock made her collapse on to the ground on her knees, rather than be thrown backwards like Amon had been. "What's the matter with you?" He shouted towards Kyo as he ran and picked up Korra. "She is your little sister!" And then he ran passed her and out the door.

Kyo breathed sharply and fell forward on to her hands. While that had hurt, Amon's had been a lot worse. She glanced over her shoulder, through her long dark hair at the rubble. Forcing herself up on to her feet, the fire bender ran over to her hypocritical lover and started pulling pieces of wood off of him.

The masked man gave a painful grunt as he stood up, with the help of Kyo. The woman placed a hand of the side of his porcelain mask. "Are you ok?" She asked looking up at the taller man with big, worried, brown eyes.

Amon placed a hand on hers and gently pulled it off, allowing her fingers to trail down the side of it. "I'll be back." Was all he said before he turned and ran off after the two teenagers. "Stay here! I mean it." He commanded, glancing at her over his shoulder.

Stay here? And do what? What was that man even worried about, anyways? That a couple of teenagers, one of them useless, were going to hurt her? Or did he just think that she would be a pain in the ass... Because that would be offensive. And that better not have been the case.

But Kyo decided that she would wait here. For a little bit. Originally, the woman had planned to wait about three minutes, but then she heard shattering glass, and "Oof!" From Amon. So three minutes turned in too just barely over one, and she ran out the door.

"What did you do?" She shouted at her exhausted looking younger sister, as fire grew lit up on the tips of her fingers, one by one. Korra said nothing, but Mako, tired as he looked too, charged at her, with fire in his eyes... and fist, for that matter.

He swung a fiery punch towards her, and Kyo bent backwards in a way so that she dodged it. With her own hand practically on fire, the thief flipped back all the way and landed on her feet and then swung on at his stomach. She hit him and sent the boy flying backwards in to the wall. But Mako bounced back and both kicked and punched, a bunch of waves of fire at her.

The fire bender dodged most of them, and rather gracefully to boot, but was hit by one that slammed her in to the wall and made her both, hit her head rather hard, and slouch to the ground. All she needed was the ice and this would seem familiar.

Unable to currently move right at this moment, the woman watched as Korra and Mako went to the broken window and looked down. She could hear a mob of people yelling up at them and then a loud whirl of wind and water. From her position, she could see an unmasked and un-hooded Amon, on the top of a tall, spinning pillar of water. She was feeling rather extremely worried about that man. That usually masked man. But at the back of her mind, she couldn't help but think that his plan had really backfired on him. It was sickening what could happen when you were angry and on the verge of drowning, wasn't it?

Mako then started shooting blasts of fire at him, and she saw him dive down towards the water. That horrid fire bender brat, (That wasn't herself, may she add), continued shooting long blasts of fire towards the water, but she couldn't see what happened. Kyo assumed that he had managed to get away. Hopefully, not burned. But even if the man did get burned, she still hoped he got away.

With dangerous and narrowed eyes, she glared at the two hugging. Like said before, the woman was neutral in this entire battle. But she really wanted to seriously injure the two teens, standing a little ways away from herself. Kyo was well aware that this was Amon's fight. But she was so sick of Korra. Everyone loved Korra. Korra was so special. It was always about that wench.

Kyo stood up slowly and shot a large wave of fire at the two of them, followed with an angry growl.

The masked man easily dodged that stupid child's attacks from under water, and he was quickly out of shooting range from them. Amon headed towards Air temple island easily, but not without worrying about Kyo. He had seen her slouched body when he had accidently unveiled himself. He knew that seeing as the Avatar was her sister, then she probably wouldn't do much to her. All she could do was air bend now. So Korra probably wouldn't be able to do something like take her bending away. He hoped. But like said before... She wouldn't do anything to her sister, not even that. Besides, Kyo hadn't done anything horrid enough to receive a punishment like that. Well, as far as he knew she hadn't. Anyways, Kyo could take care of herself. Amon was sure of it.

But what if Kyo had thought that he got killed or something? He would let her know that she was ok. Or he would try to.

Amon reached the island and quickly went up to the attack, where his brother was sitting, messy haired in a cell, slouched over. His boots clunked against the wood floor, causing Tarlock to look up with a surprised expression. It turned to a glare though.

"Noatak." He greeted coldly.

Amon stood in front of him, pulled his hood off, and looked down at his younger brother. "It's over brother. I'm sorry for what I had to do to you..."

Tarlock sighed and looked away from him. "Our father set us on this path." He spoke bluntly. "Fate caused us to collide." The ex-water bender looked back up at him. "I should have left with you when we were boys."

Amon, (slash Noatak), unlocked the door and let him out. The usually masked man felt many mixed, and unpleased emotions bubbling inside of him. He was annoyed with himself for revealing everything and screwing up all his plans. He was mad at the Avatar. He was somewhat worried for Kyo. And Amon felt totally defeated.

"Leave with me now. We have a second chance, and we can start over together!" He held the door open. "Pease... You're almost all I have left of the world." Maybe he was all he had left now though... What did Kyo think of him right now?

All she could do was cry. So that was exactly what Kyo did. And she really hated doing it too. The woman felt weak when it happened. She had been arrested for apparently being on the enemies' side, even when she knew he was lying. She had also been arrested for gang involvement, apparently illegal gambling, and theft. Somehow Korra had recognized her from the air temple that one night. Shortly after that, news spread around that Amon and Tarlock had been killed in an explosion while escaping the city.

Honestly, she should have expected that something like this would happen. Kyo never got the happy endings. And she wasn't just feeling sorry for herself. It was true. But you guys already know the rant. Kyo felt very alone and empty suddenly. She had never ever even gotten to tell Amon that she loved him. Why hadn't she done that?

The woman sat alone, in the corner of her dark cell and sobbed in to her arms and knees.

Don't worry, this is not the ending =D

And sorry... Probably no smut in this story.
