I yawned widely. It was really early in the morning. Korra and I were at the arena training with Mako and Bolin. Well, they were training. I was watching.

"Why do we have to train so early in the morning?" Korra complained.

"We're the rookies. So we get the worst time slot." Bolin said. They were throwing a weighted ball around to each other.

"You're the rookiest of us all. We need to get you up to speed if we want to win the championship, so deal with it." Mako said throwing the ball to Korra.

"You deal with it!" Korra said throwing ball to him extremely hard, sending him tumbling back. I walked over to help him up. As soon as he got up, someone else walked into the gym.

"Here are my hard working street urchins!" This man was extremely well dressed. He walked over to Korra. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Avatar Korra."

"And you are…"

"Butakha! The owner of this lovey establishment." Mako and I walked over to join them. "Here are your winning for the last game." He handed Mako a stack of cash. "Wait, but first you owe me for the avatars new gear, the use of gym equipment, rent on your apartment, and a personal loan for groceries." Piece by piece he took the whole stack of money away. "Oh one more small item of business. You'll need to come up with your share of the champions' pot. You'll need about 30,000 Yuan." All of our jaws dropped.

"30,000 Yuan!" Bolin said.

"You'll need it by the end of the week, or else the Fire Ferrets won't be able to compete in the championship. Sorry kids." He left the room.

"You wouldn't happen to have a secret avatar stash of money?" Bolin asked Korra.

"I'm broke." She said emptying her pockets...Nothing.

"Wait! I got it!'" Bolin took his fire ferret, Pabu, of his shoulder. "I've been training Pabu to do circus tricks, we could put on shows! People would love to see that!"

"C'mon Bolin, we need serious ideas. I'll think of something. I always do. C'mon Bolin, we should go." He picked up his bag. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek, then left. Bolin fallowed him.

"Come one Korra, we should get back to the island. You have air bending training." Korra nodded.

We went back to the Island; Korra was finally starting to master the boards after about five hours... I was sitting by the pond just playing with the water, streaming it over my head, making it fly in different directions. I was thinking. I didn't even want to come to Republic City. I only came here because I thought Korra would need me. If I didn't come I would have never meet Mako.

"Kalani!" I dropped the water on my face when I heard Korra shout me name. "Did you hear me?"

"What?"

"What are you thinking about Kalani? You seem distracted." Ikki said coming over a dancing around me.

"She's probably thinking about Mako." Korra teased I blushed madly.

"Who's Mako?" Ikki asked.

"Kalani's new boyfriend." I bended some water in Korra's face. "She's crazy about him."

"Shut up!" I bended more water in her face.

"Oo! Is that him?" Ikki asked. I turned around to see Mako walking toward us. I was about to walk up to him but Ikki got to him first.

"You're cute. Are you Mako? Are you Kalani's new boyfriend? Why do you make her crazy?" I ran over to her, grabbed her and covered her mouth.

"Hey Mako." I said blushing. He was blushing too.

"Hey, have you seen Bolin?"

"No, not since this morning. Korra have you?"

"No, not since practice."

"Do you think something's wrong?"

"I don't know, Bolin has a knack for getting into too stupid situation."

"Let us help you look." Korra suggested.

"Yeah, we can take Kavi and Naga." I said letting Ikki go. She ran away giggling.

"Who are Kavi and Naga?"

"My best friend." Korra and I said at the same time. Korra and I both whistled and Kavi and Naga came running over.

"Mako, this is Kavi." I said as Kavi walked over to me. "I met him when he was a cub." Kavi sniffed Mako a little, and then turned away. "Kavi. Sorry, he can be a little stuck up." I jumped onto his back. I took Mako's hand and pulled him on with me. Kavi growled a little. I felt Mako wrap his arms around my waist.

We ran into Republic City. We ran up and down the streets looking for any sign of Bolin.

"Over there, by the Fire Lord Zuko statue. Bolin likes to hang out around there." Mako said.

We walked over there and dismounted our animals. We walked over to a bunch of kids playing around.

"Have you guys seen my brother today?" Mako asked approaching one of them.

"Perhaps. My memory is a bit foggy, maybe you can help clear it up. " One of them said. Mako handed him a dollar.

"Your good, Skoochy. Now tell me."

"Yeah, I've seen him."

"When?"

"This afternoon, He was preforming some sort of monkey rat circus. And then…" He extended his hand. Mako handed him another dollar. "Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash. Bolin went in his ride with him. The Triple Threats are rustling up something big. That's all you're getting out of me." He said running away.

"Mako, what's going on?" Korra asked.

"Sounds like a turf war brewing. And Bolin is caught right in the middle. Come on, we need to go to the Triple Threat Triads HQ's. Maybe he's there." We got back on Kavi and Naga and sprinted the way Mako showed us.

"The Triple Threat Triads? Those Yahoos got me sent to jail after I fought them. Why would Bolin be mixed up with them?"

"I don't Know but-Whoa!" Kavi jerked unexpectedly. He started running in a different direction. Korra fallowed him. Kavi stopped.

"What is it Kavi?" He wouldn't open his mouth, he had something in it. "Spit it out." He whined then spit out a red blob, covered in his spit. Then it moved. Wait, It was Pabu! Pabu shock off spit from his fur, then climbed up Kavi onto Mako's back.

"Bolin must be close. Let's go!" Mako said pointing forward. He directed us to this building. We got off, and walked up to it. "This is strange. There are no guards here. We need to sneak in." Mako and I ducked to the side. But Korra, completely ignoring him, banged the door down. The whole place was disserted.

"Bolin? You in here?" We heard an engine rev. We all ran out to the back, and saw some men in satomobiles. In a large truck the doors weren't closed, we could see Bolin being held captive in the back. We tried to run after him, but these men in strange masks fired a weird gas at us. We got lost in it. When it cleared away, we had lost them.

"I can still here the engines. Let's go! Kavi!" I called, Kavi came running over. Mako and I jumped on, while Korra jumped on Naga. And we started chasing down the men.

We caught up to them. Two of the guys on motorcycles stopped abruptly. They threw ropes around Naga and Kavi's legs tripping them and we all fell off. We got up quickly and got ready to fight. Damn. There was no water around. The guys in weird mask surrounded me. Use the water around you. What does that mean? My arms involuntarily went back and sliced forward. Water hit them straight in the stomach. There is water all around you, learn how to use it! I involuntarily kept on moving bending the water. Water Vapor! That's it. I was bending water vapor. But how? One came a little too close to me. Don't let them touch you! I involuntarily turned around with my hands in front of me. The guy stopped in his tracks. Move your hands down. I moved my hands down, and brought the guys to his knees. The feeling was I exhilarating, it was like he was under my complete control. He is. I clenched my hands into fist; I could feel his body go limp. I dropped his body. Very good Kalani, don't worry he's not dead, but still very good. I turned around to see Mako and Korra tied up, but it seems the Naga and Kavi did some damage too. They growled at them, forcing the men to retreat. They grabbed their friend's body and drove away.

I ran over to Mako and Korra and starting untying there ropes. Korra shot up and tried to bend.

"I can't bend!" She screamed. What? These people could take peoples bending away?

"Calm down, it's only temporary. Those guys were chi blockers. Amon's henchmen." Mako explained. Amon…that sounds familiar. There was a poster of him in the central park when we first got here.

"That Anti-Bending guy?" Korra asked.

"Yeah, he's the leader of the Equalist."

"What do they want with the Triple Threat Triad?" I asked.

"I don't know but it can't be good."

"Maybe we should go to where we say that protester Korra."

"Yeah, in the park." We rode all the way to the park, and stopped under a tree near the fountain. We decided to stop there and wait.

"Why are we here?" Mako asked.

"When Korra and I first came to the city we saw an Equalist protester here. He mustknow something, it's the only lead we have." I explained.

"Okay…"

We sat down and waited. I could see how uneasy Mako looked. He wasn't taking this very well at all. I placed my hand on his.

"We'll find him Mako." I smiled at him.

"I always told him never to go back to the Triple Threats, he didn't listen. Now look at the mess he got himself into!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Korra chimed in. "What do you mean by 'go back'?"

"Bolin and I used to work for them after our parents died…"

"Are you like some kind of criminal?" Korra asked, slightly panicked. Please, don't let him be a criminal!

"No." Mako asked sound offended. "Things were hard and did whatever I could to protect my brother. I only ran numbers for them."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Bolin's the only family I have left. I don't know what I would do if I lost him." I kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't worry, we'll find him." We waited for a while, we eventually fell asleep.

"Equality now! Equality now!" I woke up from the shouting, it was morning. I felt Mako's arm around me, my head was rested on his chest.

"Get up, love birds." Korra said who was already standing. "The protester is back." Mako and I got up and walked over to him.

"It's you again!" He yelled through his microphone. "You cannot silence me avatar!" Korra smacked the microphone out of his hand.

"My friend got captured by some chi blockers. Where did he take them? I know you know."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"I think you do." Korra earth bended under him, sending him, his podium, and a bunch of flyers into the air. We grabbed all grabbed one.

"Witness the revelation..." Mako read. He stormed over to the protester. "Alright where is this revelation." He grabbed him by his collar and held up two fingers and they started sparking.

"Alright! Alright, just don't hurt me. It's in an old warehouse in the east part of the city. Now please let me go!" He dropped him.

"Let's go." Mako said.

We sprinted down the streets, to the said location. There was a giant man guarding the entrance.

"This is a private event. No one gets in without an invitation." He said crossing his arms. We all looked at each other apprehensively. An invitation? Maybe the flyer. It's worth a shot.

"You mean this?" I pulled out the flyer. The man smiled at us.

"Welcome to revelation brother and sisters."

"Thank you." We all said and walked inside. A whole mob of people were inside. These people all must be non-benders…And they hate real benders. The crowd started roaring. A man walked to the microphone on the front of a stage. It was Amon. He started speaking, his voice sent chills up my spine.

"Greetings my brothers and sisters, when I was a boy my family and I lived on a small farm. Then one day a fire bender attacked us. He killed my parents and burned my face, forcing me to hide behind this mask. As you know the avatar recently arrived in Republic City." The whole crowd booed. We gulped. "She's here, flaunting her bending with her bender friends. Trying to silence us! Is it fair?"

"No!" The whole crowd shouted.

"Is it equal?"

"No!"

"You're right, and the spirits know that. That's why the spirits blessed me with a power. A power that will begin the era of equality! The power too…take away bending…permanently." The whole crowd gasped. No. No. No. Kill him. KILL AMON. My hand almost jerked forward but I stopped it. It couldn't be true. They only person who could take peoples bending away were the avatar!

"To demonstrate my new power, I would like to introduce some people." Several people walked on to the stage in ropes. Bolin was one of them! I elbowed Mako, and then pointed to Bolin. He started walking toward him, I stopped him.

"We need to be smart about this." I looked around the room. I grabbed Korra over. "There is water flowing through those boilers over there. Korra if you can go make some cover Mako and I can grab Bolin."

"Okay." Korra left. Mako and I pushed our way to the front of the crowd as Amon continued to speak.

"These people abuse there bending. Use it for games, or to steal, maybe even to kill." He pulled one person to the front. "This is Lightning Bolt Zolt, The leader of the Triple Threat Triad. He uses his bending to harass non benders out of money. I thought it would be appropriate for him to lose his bending first." The crowd cheered. Amon untied Zolt's hands. "Try fire bending, go on." Amon stood in front of him.

"I'll show you fire bending!" Zolt shot lightning at Amon. But Amon somehow managed to get behind Zolt, and bring him to his knees. He was moving faster than the lightning! Amon place one thumb on his forehead and one hand on the back of his neck. All the while the lightning was still shooting. After mere seconds you saw the lightning dwindle into blue flames, then to red, then to just smoke coming out of his fingertips. Oh my god. It was true…I had a horrible pit in my stomach. Where is Korra and the cover?

"You have now been cleansed of you impurity." Amon said blankly. Steam erupted in the room, thank you Korra!

"Let's go!" Mako said, as we hid in the steam. No. Kill Amon. My legs started involuntarily walking. No. Stop! My arms extended, my legs kept walking. I could see Amon's mask revealing it's self from within the fog. I locked eyes with him. His eyes widen in shock. Then something happened, it was my mind…inhaled. It was like a gasp. I got light headed.

"Kalani!" I felt arms wrap around me then sweep me off my feet. I started kicking and screaming as the person ran. We went outside. "Kalani, Kalani! Calm down it's me." It was Mako. He set me down. He was with Bolin; they were both staring at me. "Kalani! What's wrong with you? It's like you weren't yourself! You were about to have your bending be taken away!" Mako snapped at me.

"I-I'm sorry." I had this unsettling feeling my throbbing head.

"It's fine. I'm just glad you're okay." He said coming down and hugging me. "You look a little pale…"

"I'm fine…" We got up and my knees were slightly shaking. Korra came running over.

"Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah." We all said exhausted.

"We should all get going… Before more Chi blockers come." Korra said. Korra and Bolin went on Naga, and Mako and I went on Kavi. We dropped Mako and Bolin and the Arena, and then we went to the island. Tenzin was waiting for us.

"Thank goodness." He took both of us into his arms. "I was about to send out a search party. Are you two okay?" Neither of said anything. "Did you find your friend?"

"Yeah…And we went to an Equalist rally, and saw Amon." I started.

"That's impossible." He said. I thought it was impossible too. I also thought it was impossible for voices in your head control you and attempt to make you kill someone! I guess not…Next time Kalani…Next time…

A/N He guys. I just wanted I just wanted to clarify something. Kavi is a polar leopard which is a fiction animal, not a snow leopard. I just realized it might be confusing so just wanted to clarify that. Here's a picture of what Kavi would most likely look like I DID NOT DRAW THIS, ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE ARTIST. fs70/f/2012/161/0/8/polar_leopard_by_ R&R -Shay
