And the winner is...
Hiccup watched as his newly declared girlfriend, which was still hard to believe, shoot water at a picture of Tahnno. Mako and Bolin where doing the same, "We got this in the bag, wolf bats are going down!" Bolin said proudly, the team had improved drastically within the span of the week, Hiccup had been getting 'tutored' by Mako and in turn taught Bolin some moves he came up with.
"Yea, you guys are at the top your game lately, in sensing a dire urge to while the smirk off that pretty boy's face." Hiccup said grinning, "Put in a few shots for me please." Mako smirked, "So what's your beef with him, jaywalking?" Hiccup shook his head, "Nah, he just finds ways to slip through the raindrops, annoys the hell out of me." he said as the team took off their training pads. Korra smiled and pecked him on the lips. Ever since they started their relationship the two had been taking slow and steady, especially since neither had been in a relationship before, as she drew away the radio began to draw static, "Greetings, citizens of Republic City."
The room fell dead silent, "I have tried to reason with the leaders of republic city, but they have no listened. So I will will deliver a ultimatum, if the council does not shut down the pro-bending arena, than we shall do it ourselves. Long live Equality!" The radio cut off. Hiccup turned to the others, "Town hall?" he asked the trio.

As the four arrived at city hall the three rushed straight into main chambers. "I OBJECT!" Hiccup shouted, all heads turned to the four, "Sorry, I've always wanted to say that." he says apologetically, "I take it you all heard Amon's announcement." Tenzin said, Korra marched towards the council, "You guys can't seriously be thinking of giving into his demands!" Bolin joined her, "Yea, we've been trained all season for this!" he exclaimed, Mako nodded in agreement, "Yea, the pro-bending arena is one of the only places where benders and non-benders can both find peace. If you guys do this your just giving Amon more leverage!" Hiccup joined the trio, "Tarrlock,you of all people should be against this."
The waterbender shook his head, "I'm sorry but it's just to dangerous, we the council of republic city declare that the arena shall be closed." as he was about to slam the gavel, a cable shot out from behind the teens and shattered the gavel, "I agree with the avatar." a voice said, the four turned to see Lin retracting her cable, "I can't believe all of you, at least my son is willing to show some spine." Lin said joining her son, Hiccup smiled. "We cannot endanger the lives of innocents just to try to stop Amon!" Tenzin argued, Hiccup then had a idea, "We don't have to," everyone looked at him skeptically, "if we put some officers in the audience, they'd easily take down them if they showed up. Plus with all the cops in general, you'd have to be crazy, stupid, or both, to try anything." Hiccup reasoned, Tarrlock considered this, "Are you willing to risk that?" he asked, "Absolutely." Hiccup said with a steel gaze.
After the council agreed in the matter, the meeting adjourned and the group exited the room, "Are you sure this plan of yours will work? We're risking alot here." Lin asked, Hiccup shook his head, "I'm not entirely sure, but it'll have to do." he said. Neither noticed Korra's approach, "I'd like to thank you for supporting us. It means alot." she said, Lin gave her a glare, "The only reason I'm doing this is to catch that madman. What I said still stands." she said walking off. After she left Korra let out a sigh of frustration, "What is her deal? Did she hate Aang or something?" Tenzin shook his head, "No, as a matter of fact him and Lin got along famously, plus Hiccup." he said. Hiccup grinned, "Maybe it's the fact that her and a certain airbender she carried a flame for broke up with her." Korra's jaw dropped and Tenzin's face went red. She looked at the monk "WHAT! You and BeiFong?!" she exclaimed, he sighed, "Yes, she took it very...very hard. Now if you two excuse me, I'm going to coordinate with her on the security detail." he said rushing off.
Korra turned to Hiccup, smirk on her face, "Details. Now." he shook his head, "Couldn't if wanted to. Mom never talks about it. Was before I came here." he said. As the two exited the building, Korra's arm wrapped around his, "Speaking of Lin, how do you plan on telling her about us?" she asked nervously, Hiccup paled a bit, "Uhhhhhhhh, vary, vary, vary gently." Korra rolled her eyes, "You have no idea do you?" Hiccup nodded. Toothless and Naga's heads rose as the two approached, "Look, even if my mom isn't your biggest fan, I know that she'll be happy for me. Besides, I think she'll just has trouble accepting the fact that her son is growing up." he said, gripping both her hands. Korra smiled at the fact that Hiccup was willing to do that just so they'd be together. After giving each other a kiss goodbye, Hiccup darted off on Toothless towards home.

Hiccup along with Lin looked into the stands, it had took some doing but him and his mother had placed the officers in every section of the arena. Now all they needed to do was wait, "Alright, so the trap is set and the bait is ready, so now we just hope the prey doesn't show." Hiccup said, Lin nodded. "So all we need to do is wait and if your little girlfriend can draw them out." Hiccup's eyes bulged out of head, he took a breath and look to his mother, "Okay yes, but the only reason I didn't tell you was so that you wouldn't kill her. And the fact that you don't like her came to mind."
Lin put a hand on her head and let out a sigh, "I'm not mad." she said. Hiccup was now a bit worried, "Okay mom your starting to scare me, are you okay?" Lin nodded, "It's just...are you happy?" Hiccup was taken back by the question, "Yea of course." he said as though trivial question, "Good. Hiccup I know that it was hard growing up without a dad.." he looked down, "And we both know that it was hard when it was just you and me around. What I'm saying is...you should know that what you have with Korra is a good thing. And no matter what you shouldn't trade anything in the world for it." she said placing a hand on his shoulder. Hiccup smiled, "I will mom."

Korra was suffering from nerves. Her hands where shaking and her fort was tapping against the floor, Mako and Bolin where showing signs as well. Hiccup felt a tad of pity, he applauded the three for being able to preform in front of a crowd, it was something that he wasn't fond of. Suddenly he remembered something, digging into his pockets he found what he was looking for, "You guys want some gum?" he asked, the three took it generously, "So nervous?" he asked Bolin gave him a look, "No not at all." Mako rolled his eyes, "Look there's nothing to worry about, me and the rest of the force are here if anything goes sideways, plus you guys got the avatars watching your backs." Korra smiled, "Yea. We got this!"

Hiccup's vision slowly came back to him along with what happened before. Looking onto the stage he saw that Korra and his mother had regained conciseness and was...hanging on a cable? Please don't drop her. He thought as he stood, shooting out his cables he joined the two as he joined them on the roof.
After going through the hole in the ceiling he took in his surroundings, Korra was shooting a large fireball into the blimp and his mother was fight the lieutenant and another equilist, drawing his arm blades he charged for Amon's second in command just as he was about to strike. Blocking his attack with the blades, he brought his leg up and sent a blast of air at the man, making him stumble, "Glad to see you up." Lin said as she charged at the foot soldier. Facing his opponent Hiccup said, "Walk away and no one else will get hurt." the Lt. charged. "Fine." swiping his arm the metal of the roof created a wall, the Lt. vaulted over and brought his electrified batons down, Hiccup sidestepped but one still connected with his shoulder, shrugging it off, he swiped his blade at the man's arm, he cartwheeled out of the way. So close quarters is his strong suit, alright Hiccup thought as he retracted his blades. Shooting fire at him Hiccup began to move in close. Before he could move further through he saw from the corner of his eye Korra fall from the airship's retrieval line and fell towards the hole. Thinking fast he sprinted towards the hole, as she fell through he jumped off and shot his cable on the edge if the roof. reaching out he could almost grab her, he then shot fire out from his feet and accelerated fast enough to catch up with Korra.
Hiccup wrapped his arm around her midsection, and her arms found those way around his neck. Suddenly the cable tensed and the two snapped back in midair. The cable swung towards the stands as Hiccup reeled the line in, unfortunately the two managed to roll on top of each other. Korra looked down at a slightly dazed Hiccup, when she realized she was basically straddling him, her face turned beat red, along with the man underneath her, "I...cable...fall... I got nothing." Hiccup said, Korra smiled, laying down beside him she looked up to see Lin descending from the roof, "I told her before the game started, and she's happy for us." Hiccup said. Korra looked over and gave a heartfelt look, then gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Knew you could do it." she said. Hiccup's smile disappeared, "But Amon still got away." Korra griped his hand, "And that's the last time." she said looking into his eyes, Hiccup nodded with a determined look on his face.
AN: OH MY GOD IT'S HERE, AND IT KICKS MORE ASS THAN EVER! Sorry had to get that out of my system, and I also apologize for taking so LNG to get this up, and for it being so short, and may not be accurate. Look I'm gonna level with all y'all, I really want to get to the six month interval and book 2 (That will be a different story) so I am really really really really really sorry if the chapters are curt and short. The one after the next might be since Tarrloxk *cough* dickhead *cough* is in that chapter. Also for those of you who saw the premiere, wait a sec, SPOILER ALERT! Anyway, Unauq or whatever his name is, seems to be the bad guy, now I for one am getting a bit tired of the repeated bad guy being a waterbender, but do you guys think he'll be the villain or is he just misguided? One last thing, after book 2 ends I'll make another story that fallows the Dragons: riders/defenders series so we will all have something to read during the wait. Don't forget to fallow, favorite, and Review.
