Chapter 3: Brothers and enemies return at once

Korra's POV

"and with that, i will end the trails of today"

Tenzin called as he slapped with the little hammer on his desk. I looked up with a shock now, realizing that i had missed the whole trail. as soon as i heared thatwe could go for now, i went outside. today was the end of the thirt week. that means today was the day my brothers would return too the mortal world! I nearly runned all the way to the harbor. Some ships that had helped General iroh take back the city were still lying there, waiting too be repaired. some of them were too broken to me repaired and they would soon be towed away to the open sea, there they would let them sink, so no one can steal their ideas for this kinds of ships.

When the boat reached the dock of airtemple island, i got out and walked to the beach. Tui and la had told her they would appear on the beach after three weeks. So if that was true, that means... She looked over the beach, searching for the dead bodies of her beloved brothers... but she saw nothing...

"Korra, are you all right?"

Mako called from behind me. I jumped when i heared him calling me. I hadn't heard him coming up behind me.

"yeah, i was just... thinking..."

Mako placed a hand on my shoulder now and looked at me with a worried look.

"you mean the warning they gave you right? the warning for that new enemy"

I nodded and looked at the beach with a sad look. Tui and La had been very clear about the new enemy. he would reveal himself at thesame time she would get her brothers back, and he would be awfully strong, even stronger then noatak was...

"I'm a bit worried about what they said... that this enemy is even stronger then noatak... this fight can even get worse then last time..."

Mako kissed me on my cheek and looked at me with a stern look.

"whatever will come on our path...whatever we have to do to save the world... I will be with you"

we share a small kiss, that got interupped because I got a strange feeling in my stomatch. The feeling that danger was lurking near. I looked around but i saw nothing...

I looked around for a while but i didn't saw a thing, that was strange. I wanted to turn to Mako to ask him if he had see something strange, but just when i wanted to ask him i saw that he was frozen! he was still standing in the kissing position and didn't moved anymore. After that i saw something that was even more frightning. I was still standing there with him! The me that was looking around at the moment was blue and seeing trought.

"what on earth is going on here?"

I asked myself aloud. Just when i wanted to investigate, i saw too lumps lying on the beach. I quickly ran to them, knowing who they were. But when I saw them lying there.. i had to gasp. they were nearly they were almost unrecognizable. they were covered with blood and wounds, and they were missing limps. I knelt at the mangled bodies of my brothers and began to cry softly. I already knew i had lost my brothers , I knew Tarrlok had end the legacy of our father, but I didn't had to cry when i first heared it.

but now that i saw their bodies, now that i was sure their lived had ended. Now i had to cry... I took their hands began to sob louder. this was all unfair... why did Tarrlok had to take only their lived? why didn't he took her with them?

"Noatak! Noatak! youre em! Try to get us if you dare!"

The voice of her 4 year old brother Tarrlok suddenly echoud threw her head.

"look Tarrlok! look Noma! i can waterbend AND snowbend!"

the Voice of a very young noatak called this time. she smiled when she heared this. She now remembered how noatak had showed them his snowbending trick. that was also the first time their father had seen him waterbend.

"Don't do that tarr! If daddy finds out you are waterbending inside again, you will get in serious trouble again!"

that was my own voice when i was 10 years old! i realized the moment i heard the voice. at that same moment a memory from my youth. The moment my life ended for ever.

-flashback-

Noma was standing in a circle with her brothers. they both looked at her with a frightend look. Their father had just told them to bloodbend each other!

"noatak! go!"

Yakone said with a stern look to his eldest son. Noatak nodded and started to bloodbend Tarrlok. The little boy cried it out in pain.

"STOP IT NOA! NOAAAAA! YOUR HURTING HIM!"

Noma cried as she pulled at the parka of her twin in an attempt to stop him from hurting their little brother. Noatak looked at her with a cold look before he finally stopped. Behind him, Tarrlok was huffing and puffing to catch his breath.

"Noatak! i didn't said you can stop"

their father said with a icy tone. Noatak looked at Noma with a slight smile before he turned to his father and nodded. But instead of bloodbending his little brother, he bloodbended his father.

"how dare you bloodbend me you little...!"

Yakone tried to break free from the bloodbending grip of his eldest son, but it was no use. Noatak was too strong.

"Noatak! You can let me go now!"

Noatak let go but he immidiatly stepped in front of his twin sister and younger brother. Yakone got up and walked to his kids. Noma wanted to hid behind the back of her twin, but she suddenly didn't felt afraid anymore. Just like someone had changed all her fear and pain for determination and hatred towards her father.

She stepped in front of her brothers and opened her hands, ready to waterbend. But in stead of water, a blast of fire came from my hands. The blast hit my father full in the stomatch and he fell backwards into the snow.

"Noma... How in the world?"

Both Tarrlok and noatak looked at her with a shocked look. Yakone didn't had to take very long to piece together she was the new avatar.

"BOYS! DESTROY YOUR SISTER! SHE IS THE AVATAR! SHE IS THE REINCARNATION OF AVATAR AANG!"

Noatak now looked at his father with a shocked look. He coudn't mean that! she was eldest daugther! Why did they suddenly had to destroy her? because she was the avatar!? how fair was that!?

"Noma! Run for it! we hold him back! "

Noatak screamed as he started to bloodbend their father again. Yakone screamed it out in pain and frustration because his plan didn't work. Noma run away as fast as she could.

"NOMA! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! NOMAAAAA!"

Tarrlok screamed. I didn't saw ore heared more. I runned away as fast as i could. suddenly I stepped on a piece of ice that could not handle my weight. the ice broke and suddenly I was in the water.

"HOLD ON NOMA! I'M COMING FOR YOU!"

Noatak screamed as he jumped into the water to get his twin sis. but she had sunk to deep, and noatak couldn't reach her anymore. he tried to get back to the surface, but his parka pulled him down.

"this isn't good! Noatak is going to drown because of me! i have too do something"

with those thoughts in mind, Noma suddenly entered the avatar state. She felt herself rise into the air, and noatak with her as well...

Noatak's POV

He got onto the survace just in time. He gasped for breat and looked up. But when he did so, he only saw a huge iceberg. his sister was no were to see anymore.

"was she still in the water?"

Noatak looked down but he didn't saw his sister sink anymore. So she had to be around here somewere. Noatak walked around the iceberg, hoping his sister was playing a game with him. But she wasn't.

"wait a second! that iceberg wasn't here when i got down!"

he thought as he studied the iceberg. There was nothing strange to see, it only appeared that there was someone inside of it! Maybe that was were Noma was now! He suddenly rememberd the Story his father had told him once. The avatat had been trapped in a Iceberg for 100 years! Maybe that was going to happend this time as well!

"HOLD ON NOMA! I WILL FREE YOU!"

Noatak cried as he tried to waterbend the iceberg. strangely enough this Ice turned out to be match stronger then i had hoped for. There had to be some way to break it! but how!? Suddenly he felt tears run down his face. This was al their fathers fould! if he hadn't orderd them to attack her, this had never happend!

"I...I hate benders! If we were al equal! then this world would be a lot better!"

I sobbed as i looked at the iceberg with my twin sister in it.

"Noma! i will come and get you as soon as i Know how too free you from this blasted curse!"

with this words, Noma's vision faded and she felt in a deep sleep...

20 years she got locked up into the ice berg. After that she got found by the people who are her parents now. frankly enough, she forgot about her brothers and their awfull father. But that was worth it! she became the avatar and got a normal family and normal friends for that! But that felt not right, something deep inside her always told her something was missing, something very important...

-end of flashback-

when I looked up i was korra again, but besides the bodies of my brothers Tui and la were also here now. they looked at me with a kind smile.

"it is time avatar korra"

Tui simply said as he streched his arms out to my brothers,who immidiatly started to glow.

"today you will have your brothers back, but you will also face a great danger"

La said as she pointed to the place Republic city was located. I followed her gaze and nodded. i knew were she was talking about. and I knew that it was my duty to save the world again!

"Noma...what... what's going on?"

I looked up when two little boys were standing at the place were my brothers had been a few minutes ago and gasped in amazment. The Men she knew were gone. Instead of that there were 2 little boys standing in front of her, both wearing a parka. The eldest around 10 years old and the youngest around 7 years old. Noatak was still wearing his ponytail while Tarrlok weared 2 little ponytails on his back.

"nothing to worry about boys, your going to be fine from now on"

I said as i hugged them. Tui and la looked at the trio with a kind smile. They knew what Noma had been thought, so they knew this was a very touching moment for them. so they better leave them be for the moment.

"Noma, why are you looking so... old... we used to be twins right?"

Noatak asked not quit understanding what was going on right now.

"maybe she was sick and tired of being your twin and she wanted to be dad's twin instead!"

tarrlok joked as he gave Noatak a playfull push.

"Is that true Noma?"

Noatak asked a bit unsure. he was not someone who was quick to cry. But the idea that Noma was rather someone else's twin sister, tears came into his blue eyes.

"ofcourse i wanted to stay your twin Noatak...But... I got locked up into a iceberg and... you guys grow up before i had the change too..."

Korra started, but before she could tell them eveything about there past. La pulled out her hand to stop her. Korra looked up to her with big eyes. When she remembered that she couldn't tell her brothers the truth yet, she quickly coverd her mouth and nodded.

"boys, what happend in your past doens't matter for now, The fact is that we need your help in this time and at this place, Your sister Noma is now known as Avatar Korra. And she will need your help too defeat a new enemy that is even stronger then the last one"

The boys looked at each other with a stunned expresion. They didn't know were this spirits were talking about. And Noma was suddenly korra? what was that all about?

"don't worry boys, it will all come back to you in a few weeks"

La said when she saw the boys look at each other with a stunned expression on their faces.

"what does that mean?"

Noatak asked, still not understanding what was going on.

"That means, you will remember more about what happend the past few days when you wait"

tui said as he gently took the hand of La.

"It it your duty to protect them from now on Avatar Korra, Be carefull with who you trust on your secret, and good luck"

With these words the both spirits dissapeared and Korra felt Mako's arms around her again. Mako looked at her with a stunned look when he let go of her.

"korra, what's the matter with you?"

He asked a bit worried. I smiled at him and looked at the spot behind him.

"nothing, i have just seen the spirits of Tui and La and they... they... are back"

I whispered to him with a little wink, hoping that he would get the hint. At first Mako didn't seemed to get it, But after a few seconds he realized what i just had said and turned around. Noatak and Tarrlok smiled at him ad waved at me, I waved back as i run to them and gave them a little hug.

Just when i wanted to explain eveything to Mako, Tenzin came running of the stairs.

"MAKO! KORRA! COME QUICK! WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM!"

he shouted as he looked at them with a white face. I froze in my tracks, knowing all too well what this means. Our new enemy had made his big appearence... we quickly got inside and listent to the radio.

-Radio message-

"good evening, equalists... This is your new leader Geri.. "

"I know that the equalist movement has been torn down when that fool Amon betrayed you all, but i believe his idial was great"

"Benders don't have to force us to do things againts our will and we will not give up! "

I hope to give you all the power to continue your quest for equality and join me to finish were we started once!"

-End radio message-

I looked at Tenzin and my brothers with a look of pure horror. The revolution would just go on? Like it has never stopped? I looked at tenzin, and saw that he had become like a dishcloth. so white So he was just as scared as I am.

"what, what are we going to do now Tenzin?"

I asked with a soft voice. I knew that, if i had raised my voice, he could hear that my voice was trembling as well.

"We have to get to the Counsil right now!"

Tenzin said with a stern voice.

"we have to think of a way to stop him BEFORE it is too late!"

with this Both Korra and Tenzin left the room. Leaving a confused Noatak and Tarrlok behind...
