Clar woke up in his room to sun shinnig to his eyes. It was told that firebenders gain their bending from the sun, and that they would always wake up with the sun. For that apperant reason, Clar sometimes thought that he may have been like Firebender because he has always woken up to the first light of day.
After stopping a bank robbery in progress the night before, Clar later on found himself going across the city saving any citizen in need. All the way from a attempt of murder to bringing a kitten down from a tree. The victims of these events were baffled to see an unlikely savior that would not only stop to save them, but also make sure that they would be safe from there on out. People were starting believe that this Gangbuster maybe appart of it, while some may have thought that the Avatar was responsible.
Clar looked at the newspaper that was dropped off in his door. He looked to the front page and saw in bold letters, 'New Guradian Watches and Saves.' Clar's eyebrow raised when he saw the title. He read the aurthor that wrote it and he wasn't too surprised to see Lan Loin to be typed below the title. She had shown some interest in Clar's actions as the Gangbuster, but appearntly now she gave him a new name. She had quotes of different civilians that Clar saved, like the young woman that he saved from being attacked by those three men. Lan was able to connect to the dots that this new savior that was saving people the night before was the same man who busted a gang opperation.
'Lets just hope she can't see that Clar Kenta is Gangbuster and now Guradian,' Clar thought to himself.
Just about one hour later in the Pro-Bending gym...
Korra had just finished training with Mako and Bolin in the early morning hours. After apoligizing to Tenzin for yelling at him the night before, it turned out he was actually imprised at her movements in the match. He told her that through the pressure and combat of Pro-bending, she was able to click in on her movement as an Airbender which was a reason to how she did much better.
As she was just removing her gear, Mako and Bolin gained some bad news that they needed to pay a toll fee to participate in the upcoming tournament. It wouldn't be bad news if they were already consdered top notch professonal players, but they were still the rookies and the pay was still not enough. Korra walked over to the brothers to discuss on how they were going to solve their problem.
"I don't suppose you have a secret Avatar savings stashed somewhere," Bolin asked Korra.
"Sorry, I never was given money. Things seem to be provided to me," Korra anwered.
"Why don't you ask your reporter friend for some help. After all we gave him that exclusive. But besides that plan, we need to come up with another way in getting money," Mako said.
"Oh guys, I got an idea! I've been training Paabo to do circus tricks. Now people well pay money to see that," Bolin suggested as he held up his pet Fire Ferret.
"Come on Bolin, we need to be serious here," Mako said.
"But I was serious."
30 minutes later...
Korra walked off the shuttle to an apartment complex. The night she was talking to Clar, Clar gave her an address to where he lived in case of anything. Not only was Korra there to ask for Clar's help, but also to apoligize for yelling at him as she was angry towards Tenzin.
She knocked on the door, and after a few seconds Clar opened the door surprised to see Korra.
"Hey," Clar said.
"Hey. Listen before I say anything else, I need to apoligize for yelling at you last night. I was angry with myself and I took it out on you Tenzin and you," Korra said with guilt.
"Don't worry about it. You were angry, and people tend to lose themselves when they are felled with rage," Clar said with forgivness.
Korra smiled, but then her eyes wondered around Clar's apartment as he allowed for her to enter. She noticed a perfect shade of red cloak. She also noticed an ensignia on it. It outlined with black, and it was a shape of a diomand with a shape of a serpant. Clar noticed what was it that Korra was looking at, and he cursed at himself for leaving his cloak out in the open like that.
"Is that the blanket that your parents found you with," Korra asked.
"Yes," Clar answered as he picked it up and placed it out of the public's view.
"What does that symbol mean?"
Clar stopped and thought to himself. Even he didn't know the answer. "I don't know. I looked accross every book of language or hyroglyphics, but I still haven't been able to find out where tht symbol orginated from. Huh, kind of shows one bit that I'm not from this world, doesn't it? Anyways, is there any other reason to why you came to my meanwhile 'Fortress of Solitude'?"
"Well I came to also tell you that I'm offically a team member of the Fire Ferrets."
"Really! What does Tenzin have tosay to that?"
"It turns out he actually saw me play last night, and he was impressed because it turns out I started playing better because I startedusing Airbending tactics and movement," Korra said.
"So that's how you saved the game."
"Besdies that, there is an issue with money. The team needs to pay toll fee, and Mako insisted I ask you if you can help."
"How much do you guys need."
"Errr... $30,000 yuons."
"Wheew. I may have alot of powers, but gaining money isn't one of them."
"That could be solved if ou can pull a little heist on one bank."
"Korra you know I don't go that route."
"I'm just joking."
"Maybe I can... listen."
"What?"
Through his hearing he could hear a tire popping and the viechle was going at a speed that lost control and was just about to crash into a fueling station in the city limits.
"There is going to be an accident. I need to go, I'll contact you soon," Clar said as he quickly changed into a dark blue clothing and placed the red cloak over himself as if it were a hood.
"Don't you think you need my help?"
"No, I don't think it's the right time to show that the Guaridian and the Avatar are already aquainted. Please lock up before you leave," said before he ran off.
"Guess I'll see you soon," Korra said even though Clar wasn't there to hear her say it.
After saving the family from the crash site, Clar then found himself trying to keep out of the reach of the police. It seems that Chief Be Fong really didn't wan't to have any vigilantes in Republic City.
He was able to lose the police, but he needed to keep a low profile through out the night if he wants to help more people.
"Is this what that man in Oth-Yen goes through? Because this is diffenitly not my style," Clar talked to himself.
It was already late night, and it was good thing Periek gave Clar the weekend off from work. Soon already, Clar found himself in Suicide Slums. When he got there, he heard roaring sounds of engines going off. He looked to what it was and in alley way, and saw a truck and a group of motercycles driving out in great speed. The next viechle was going to surprise Clar even more. The last thing that came out of the alley was a Polar-Bear Dog, and Korra and Mako were riding on it.
Mako, while on Naga, shot fire blasts at the motercycles. The drviers, turning out to be Equalist radical henchmen, manuvered and threw bolas at Naga's legs that made Naga fall and Korra and Mako to fly into the air and land hard on the ground.
From other nights, Clar ran into a few Equalists and they seemed to show great violence towards benders that they resort to kidnapping or even murder. He had to save Korra and Mako.
Korra and Mako were ready to combat against the Equalist henchmen that decided to take them out. The Equalists seemed to think that this would be an easy victory for them, but then a man in a red cloak and hood landed between them and the benders.
Korra realized who it was that landed right in front of them, and she was relieved to see Clar show up in a time like this. Mako was surprised to actually see the mystery hero known as Gangbuster who is now named the Guardian. The Equalists didn't know what they were going up against, so they made a wise decision in trying to retreat, but they were stopped by Clar's great strength and speed. Clar easily knocked them out cold, and then turned to Korra and Mako.
Thanks to the shadows from the hood he was wearing, the change of eye color thanks to his fire vision, and precise muscle control in altering his voice, Clar was able to unrecognized by Mako.
"Are any of you alright?"
"Yeah, thanks for the hand back there," Korra answered
"What happened?"
"They kidnapped my brother and a few other guys. And those Equalist punks are going to tell me where they took my brother," Mako said with anger as he walked towards the knocked out Equalists. Although, Clar, or, The Guardian got in Mako's way.
"Let me handle it."
The Equalists woke up to see the Guardian wearing a hood and red eyes glowing. They had a twinge of fear going accross their body.
"You kidnapped those people. You're going to tell us where they took them."
One Equalist who seemed already too scared then said, "I'll talk, just don't hurt us okay."
"Speak."
"Amon, our boss, he wants to..." *BANNG* *BANNG*
The Equalists were shot dead by blackpowder harpoons.
"SNIPER!"
Clar gave out the warning, as Korra summoned up an earth wall that can cover her, Mako, and Clar. Clar decided to look where the shot came from. With his superior eyes, he found the shot point, but the sniper was gone.
"Stay here," Clar told Korra and Mako.
Clar got to where the sniper was. When he got there, he found two harpoon gun shells. They had an ensignia on them and it said, 'Deadshot.'
It seems our heroes have come upon a problem, and it is not just money issue. One of them has been kidnapped by racist fanatics, and there maybe a new menace in Republic City.
I'll update soon. Ohh and please leave a review an stop by my other stories and leave reviews for them. I update sooner, the more I'm encourged.
