Hello everyone, Superiornite here. This has to be my longest chapter so far due to the advice I took from MegaBob452. This is to you MegaBob452, I really appreciate the advice and review. To Ashbringer36 and i am the hope of the universe, I really am thankful for your welcoming reviews and encouragement. To Aztec 13, I was inspired by those stories that you had stated, so I might follow along with them.
Disclaimer: I don't own Legend of Korra nor Superman. I wish I could, therefore I would... hmm... I don't know. Just do stuff.
Clar waited silently as he looked out the airship. He has been on many air balloons that were used to help with the fumeigation of the crops, but he had never been on a airship before. The ride wasn't as impressive, but it was the view that amazed him even more. Through the window, he got to see the morning sun rise that was shinning on the city that he had pin pointed as his first distination. Republic City. The city was filled with skyscrapers, patrol airships, satomobiles, and lots more than what his home town, Smallstone, could carry.
"Sir, we're now about to land in the airship station of Republic City."
Clar looked up at the young attendent and answered, "Yes, thank you for reminding me."
It wasn't long till the airship had landed, and let all the passengers exit. Clar was now free to stroll around the city. He was even more amazed by the view when he was on the streets. The buildings were so tall, that he thought that even with all his strength he may not be able to make it over one with a single bounce. He then remembered a sight that he had to see with his own eyes. Followed the street signs that had simple directions to some of the top tourist attractions.
The signs led him to the bay, and he looked and saw Avatar Aang.
The statue looked the same as it did in the books he read about Avatar Aang. Clar really admired Avatar Aang as a hero who saved the world more ways than once. At some points, he even related himself to the prevous Avatar.
He took one good glance of the statue, and made plans to visit the Memorial Island that held that large statue.
Then came a feeling that he still feels despite his physical durability; an empty stomach. The last time he ate was before the airship ride over to Republic City. So now his next objective was to pin point a place where he could find something good to eat.
He kept walking around until he found a food stand that was selling meats of different varietys. Clar enjoyed the Cow-Hog beef his mother used to cook for the family in special occasions. To enjoy a little something from home, he decided to have some meat that was harvested from his region of the counrty.
He looked at the different selections and was just about to say what he wanted, until a polar bear-dog bursted in through the side of the stand. It seemed to be more hungry than Clar because it was just about to take a chomp out of the food choices.
That was, until he heard, "No Naga. Wait."
Clar then saw a young woman who had to be around the same age as he was. From what he could see from the outfit she was wearing she had to be of Watertribe. Her skin was dark-toned, but eyes were as blue as a clear ocean.
"Excuse me, this'll only take a second." The watertribe girl said to Clar as she cut in front of her. Of course Clar didn't mind so much.
"We'll have one of everything," the girl said to the food stand lady.
"That'll be twenty-eight yuans," the food stand lady said.
"Err. I don't have any money."
At that moment, Clar didn't even know what came over him, but he had to help her out. Not just because it was the right thing to do and he would do it for anyone else, but he had a strange feeling about the girl. He couldn't put a finger on it, but he still took action.
"I'll pay for it."
The girl looked back at Clar at a surprised gesture, but she smiled in a thankful manner.
The food stand lady gave out the food that Clar payed for, and both Clar and the girl and her polar bear-dog went on their way.
"Thanks for buying the food for us. I don't know what Naga and I would've done to get food."
"No problem. Although you should have some money if you're going to be in a city like this."
"Yeeah. I was sort of an a hurry to get here."
From the way she said that, Clar was able to tell that she was a run away.
"What is a girl like you from the Watertribe doing here?"
"I'm here for... studys."
"Really? Oh I should at least introduce myself. My name is Clar-Ken."
The girl smiled and introduced herself, "I'm Korra."
As they kept chatting while walking, they heard a yelling voice from a speaker chantting out as if he were trying to start a rally.
"ARE YOU ALL TIRED OF LIVING UNDER THE TYRANNY OF BENDING? FOR TOO LONG THE BENDING ELITE OF THIS CITY HAVE OPRESSED US NONBENDERS. JOIN THE EQUALISTS AND HELP AMON BRING DOWN THE TYRANNY OF THIS CITY."
Clar was surprised to hear such a banter of a topic like anti-bending. He didn't notice Korra was about to speak up against the man.
"What are you talking about? Bending is the coolest thing in the entire world."
The man standing on the table looked at her and answered back.
"Let me guess, you're a bender. I'm also guessing that you're probably wanting to use your bending to knock me off this stage."
"I'm actually thinking about it," Korra said as she crossed her arms to her chest.
Clar cringed as he heard Korra say that. 'She did not just say the one thing that that man wanted her to say.'
The protestor then used that to his advantage, "THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CITY. BENDERS THINK THAT THEY COULD JUST PUCH US NONBENDERS AROUND AND OPRESS US."
With that said, the people that were gathered around premises agreed to what the protestor had just stated with the proof of the threat Korra made. They all started to boo at Korra.
Korra was then stuttering to defend her case.
"Wait... I'm not opressing anybody... you... You're opressing yourselfs."
It was right there that Clar had to step in and defend pro-bending.
"Hold on there just minute there. Now you said something about, 'bending elite of this city,' is that correct?"
The protestor arched an eyebrow as he saw another pro-bender supporter challenging his stand.
"Yeah, what of it?
"Is the speaker unaware of the roster of the high council leaders. If you look at the background again you may notice that only 3/5 of the council are benders."
"Well that maybe true, but they still out number the rest of the council that aren't benders."
"If you look back in your history books, the ratio of the benders to non-benders are constantly back and forth for the majority of the council in the past. And if we look to other nations like the Earth Kingdom and the Southern Watertribe, their leaders happen to be non-benders as well. These aren't just some councils that run those nations. Only one man has superior power in either the Earth Kingdom or the Watertribe, and that one man happens to be a non-bender. Even they have issues of unfair treatment to the residents of those nations. So your arguement of benders being the oppressors is flawed because there are other countries that have non-benders as their leaders and they still have the same exact issues that you claim only fall under the blaim of benders."
Right after Clar finished his defense, the protestor seemed to have lost his tongue for he had nothing to say to counter what Clar said. The protestor was not the only one in awe, but also Korra who was just stareing at Clar. She was amazed at how Clar was able to win an arguement that she unintintionally fueled to be more in favor on the opposite side. Clar smiled as he already knew he won the arguement. He then turned to Korra, who quickly shifted her gesture from awe to her regular gesture.
"Shall we move on," he asked her.
"Gladly," Korra happily responded as she walked beside Clar and still led Naga with her.
As they walked through the city, both two newly acquainted young adults had a friendly conversation about each other and what brought them to Republic City. Korra already told Clar that she was headed to Air Temple Island for her "studys." Clar told her about his life goal in traveling the world and observing every culture he visited. Although, Clar still didn't have the tendancy in telling his new friend about his "gifts". He was afraid that if he told her about them she might not understand and just leave without looking back. The most he did tell her was that he was an earthbender, but he was born with a abnormality that disabled him from controlling any earth. Instead he was only able to lift up, carry any earthly based objects with ease. In other words, his earthbending was moved to enhance his strength. She was quite intrigued by it, so there was no worrys there.
As they were walking, they saw three men who were tormenting a shopkeeper.
"I'm sorry. Business has been running slow. Please, take one of my products for payment."
One of the men wearing red lifted up his leg and dropped it down with a blaze of fire to burn the shopkeeper's product he was pointing at.
A man wearing blue who was right beside the firebender said, "My friend here is not a music lover. Give me the money or else.."
"Or else what buddy?"
The three gangsters looked back to see Korra and Clar looking staight at them as if they were trying to play hero. They laughed unimpressed at Korra and Clar's display of heroism.
"You two maybe new here. This is Triple Threat Triad territory, and you two are going to end up in the hospital."
Clar then spoke up, "If you three just walk away, nobody has to go to the hospital."
Feeling insulted by the fact that they were not afraid him, the gangster in blue responded, "Who do you think you are?"
Korra answered as she was cracking her knuckles, "Why don't you come and find out."
The gangster in blue, turned out to be a waterbender, summoned a whip of water out from his concealed pouch and threw it towards Korra.
Clar already knew that Korra was a waterbender, so there was no need for him to try and block the water. Korra easily intercepted the water and threw it back at the gangster's head which was then frozen. As the gangster stumbled foward, Korra puched him aside towards hot rod. He fell head first and the ice shattered.
The other two looked at what Korra had done to their main man. The big gangster who was an earthbender gave out a yell as he was about to sumon out earth. Clar took a step, as he was going to make it seem if it was earthbending force that would allow him to push the man hard. The earthbending gangster felt the air knock out of him, and was pushed back so far until he hit the pole behind him.
The firebending gangster was the only one lift standing, and he was terrified now that his buddies were easily taken out by two common tourists. He gathered all the fire he could get out, and he launched it all at Clar and Korra.
Clar didn't expect for the firebender to launch such a great wave of fire. It happened so fast that he needed to grab Korra and cover her from the fire with his own body.
Korra didn't expect for Clar to grab her and cover her with his own body to protect her from the fire. As the fire hit Clar, she was terrified that Clar may get fatally wounded from the burns he was getting. She got out of Clar's grasp, and quickly went in to neutralize the firebender.
Clar noticed that Korra had just went into the fire, and that the fire had just died down. He looked back in fear, worried that Korra may have goten hurt, but to his surprise he found her perfectly fine with the firebender thrown into a shop.
Korra turned back towards Clar so tat she may try to tend to the burns he got from trying to protect her from the fire. When she turned, she saw Clar standing tall as if he were not felling any pain. She could see that some of his clothes were burned, but he didn't have any burns on his skin.
The both of them were staring at each other surprised to see that their significant other was fine with no fatal burns. Although as they were about to ask each other if they were all right, the gangsters were making their fleeing attempt on their hot rod.
Clar and Korra were back to reality as they saw the hot rod try to make run for it. But then Korra moved foward, "You're not getting away."
To Clar's surprise, he saw her summon earth below the hot rod which knocked it off the street.
'Did she just earthbend,' Clar asked himself.
Then Korra looked back at Clar and was going to ask him if he was alright from the fire, but yet again there was another disturbance from sirens.
The both of them looked up and saw a police airship was just above them, and metalbenders jumped down while using their grapples to slow their fall.
The metalbending police apprehended the gangsters, but then the leader of the police squad walked up to Korra and Clar and said, "The both of you are coming with us to police headquarters."
Clar and Korra bothed gasped.
The Last Son of Krypton has finally met the Mistress of All Elements. They have made their first encounter with Equalist supporters, and have had a little scuffle with the criminals of Republic City. Now they're being enforced to be taken to police headquarters. Well they find out the truth about each other? Find out next in the next chapter I'll soon update.
Please leave a review.
Until next time, Superiornite out.
