Before my waterbending training was done I already knew what I wanted to use my newly acquired skills for. To push the world into a state of balance, something the Avatar was clearly not capable of doing. I was able to learn about all the different chis, where they were in the body, and what they did for each one of us. I learned about the fundamentals of blood bending, exactly how waterbenders moved their bodies, and exactly what was manipulated in the body of the victim.

It's very easy to explain why waterbending is the most important element needed to invoke change, humans are water, after all. With just a basic understanding of waterbending, you can manipulate the human body, of yourself, and others in so many different ways. I'm sure all of you here tonight are wondering exactly what I mean, and I will be more than willing to show you!

-POV Change-

A much older Amon stood on a stage in front of a crowd of people gathered together all looking at the stage, taking in every word that Amon had to say. At certain points there were cheers and sighs, depending on the mood of what was being said by Amon, it was clear everyone was there to see and hear him. He had an effect on the crowd, almost like they would agree with anything he said.

Amon waved someone over from the side of the stage, a man walked towards him from just off stage. Now on stage in front of all the people, he dragged along a man who was tied up. "This man was brought to us from none other than the Fire Nation, ladies and gentlemen. His name is Lee." Amon said, then the crowd began to go nuts. Amon picked up where he left off, "Now you may be thinking, isn't Lee the name of the man that killed Amon's family? And that would be exactly correct, they share a name because this IS the man who killed my family!"

After Amon revealed this information to the crowd they started to go absolutely crazy, not a single person in the crowd wasn't into what was going on in front of them. Amon began to speak again, "Ladies and gentlemen please calm down." Amon was cut off by a member of the audience who yelled "Execute Lee!" Amon shook his head and continued "We won't be executing anyone here tonight, instead I will reveal to you the manipulation that I spoke of earlier, on mister Lee."

Lee yelled "What a great leader you have! Fighting a man while he's tied up!" Amon shook his head, "Nonsense mister Lee. You're going to be untied and have ample opportunity to fight back and keep what is most precious to you, but if you can't… I will take what is more precious to you, just like you did to me." Amon walked to the left side of the stage, and the man who brought out Lee took him to the right side and untied him.

Instantly after Lee was untied he shot a fireball at Amon, which Amon was easily able to side step as he simultaneously rushed at Lee. Lee could easily see that Amon dodged the attack and was quickly coming at him, so he tried to stop him by shooting a stream of fire at Amon. Amon was easily able to jump over the stream, and by this point was behind Lee, Amon took his leg and kicked Lee's feet out from under him, bringing him to his knees.

While Lee was on his knees Amon took his head and bent it so it would face the ceiling, and lastly Amon placed his thumb on Lee's forehead. Of course all of this was done in a quick seamless motion, as if he had been practicing to find the most effective way. Lee's pupils dilated for a brief second and then went back to their normal state, after this happened Amon let go of Lee as he fell face down on the stage. Amon said "You've been equalized." and then walked back to center stage. The crowd cheered loudly.

Lee weakly got up and tried to bend a fireball at Amon but nothing came out, suddenly he had a strong look of defeat on his face. "Wh- What have you done to me?!" He yelled with what little energy he had left. Amon looked at Lee and then back to the crowd, "I have taken your bending away." he said as the crowd erupted into the loudest they had been all night. Amon continued "But, this was not done in revenge. My goal is to do to every bender, of air, water, earth and fire what we all just witnessed done to Lee, then and only then will everyone truly be... Equal."

Amon walked off the stage, the crowd still cheering as loudly as when Lee's bending was taken away. Lee remained on the stage, defeated both physically and mentally. The cheers of the crowd continued on for quite a few more minutes, and Amon could hear them all, even though he was backstage. After another short time the building cleared, the only people who remained were Amon and his proclaimed equalists, and Lee.

Amon walked back onto the stage and looked directly at Lee, who was on his knees looking down, being sure not to lay eyes on Amon. "I would like to thank you for what you did to me and my family all those years ago. Without you none of this would be possible. I will make sure to give you the credit that you deserve once true equality is finally achieved." Amon stood there waiting for a response, after he didn't get one he shrugged and continued "Maybe one day you will realize why bending is a curse to all of us and you are the cause, and the beginning of something greater."

NOTE:Thank you for reading this Fan Fiction, this will be the last chapter of Actually Amon, but don't worry there will be a sequel that me and my friend (MattAttacked)are going to collaborate on! Keep an eye out for that on our collaborative page AtkdWrites.
