Korra's POV

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Jason and I walked around the fair, mostly sightseeing though sometimes he would want to try a game or get on a ride. We were resting on a bench, the little Firebender on my lap while he played with his stuffed Fire Ferret. I couldn't help but smile at this. He just looked so…happy. And it was contagious.

"Korra?"

"Hmm?"

"Want to know why I wanted a Fire Ferret?" he asked. I nodded. "Because you played for the Fire Ferrets and I want to Pro Bend for them too when I grow up," he answered matter of factly.

I couldn't help but blink a few times before slowly smiling. "How'd you know I played for the Fire Ferrets."

"Mako told me," Jason answered with a dimpled smiled.

I smiled back, shaking my head. Of course Mako had told him.

Then a loud explosion cut through the air. I was immediately alert, picking Jason up in my arms as I searched the fair, trying to figure out where the blast had originated. That's when I saw it. The Ferris wheel was in flames, the people aboard it were screaming for help as the ride threatened to fall and cables snapped from the heat.

I made my way towards them but then remembered that Jason was still in my arms. He was looking around, terrified as the people around us ran for their lives, away from the burning attraction. I turned to Howl and gave the boy to him. I couldn't let anything happen to him. He was my first priority.

"Take him back to the island," I ordered, having to tell to be heard. "I'll stay and help."

"Korra, you can't do this alone," the sentry replied, taking the boy.

"That's an order, Howl," I answered sternly. And he reluctantly nodded. "I'll be back soon, okay?" I told Jason, shifting my attention to him. "Be a good boy for Howl."

"Korra!" he yelled when I turned away. "Korra, please don't leave me!"

"I'll be back soon," I answered. "I promise."

He shouted my name again as I ran into the crowd. I knew he was terrified, I was too but I needed to make sure he was safe. His voice rang in my ears and his little tear stained face kept flashing in my mind but I forced myself to focus.

I would get back to him. I had to.

Lin's POV

The explosion took me by surprise. One minute I was having a descent conversation with Tenzin and the next there was a loud boom shattering the festive atmosphere. I turned to find the Ferris wheel on fire and my eyes widened in horror as I watched the people jumping from their basket, trying to escape the flames. The mass of people began to move away from the ride and then several other explosions were heard.

"Lin, where are you going?" Tenzin asked.

"I need to get the people off the Ferris Wheel!" I answered. "Tell my men to secure the perimeter and help get these people out of here as calmly as possible!"

He gave me a quick nod and I made my way through the crowd but was stopped by the sight of a familiar Firebender. My former officer was helping get the people out of the fair as quickly as possible while maintaining order. I made my way to him, grabbing his arm to make him look at me.

"Chief Bei Fong," he said, clearly surprised. "I'm sorry I just had to help and- "

"Come with me," I ordered, cutting him off, watching as the cables on the Ferris wheel snapped, letting it tilt. "I need you to get with my other officers and stop it from tilting, at least until I evacuate everyone."

The Firebender didn't say anything to this, his attention on the contraption. This only served to infuriate me. I didn't have time for him to be day dreaming.

"Are you listening?" I snapped.

He nodded and I turned to see what he could possibly find interesting. My eyes widened. Korra, the Avatar, was climbing down the Ferris wheel with several kids in her arms and on her back. Once she hit the ground she asked them to leave before making the climb one more time.

Well I'll be. Didn't see that coming.

"Do you know what to do?" I asked.

"Yes," he answered.

"Good. Then do it," I replied before using my metal cables to climb up the ride.

I reached a couple soon enough and wrapped the cables around them, slowly lowering them down. When they were on the ground I continued to climb, checking every basket for survivors but finding none. I had to wonder if the girl had saved them…or if they had jumped out themselves. I turned my head to find her getting a kid when the piece of metal she was holding broke off, causing her fall a few feet before she grabbed on to another bar.

"Hold on!" I yelled, making my way towards them.

"I got it, Chief," she yelled, securing her hold on the piece of metal as the child clung to her back.

The heat was starting to become unbearable as I made my way to them when another explosion was heard and I knew this time the ride was going to fall. I saw the bar she was holding onto snap, leaving her hanging. I wrapped my cables around a bar and swung towards her but before I could reach her, her grip failed and she went down. I closed my eyes, looking away but still hearing the child's scream.

When I finally looked I saw that she had fallen on a tent causing it to sink down from her and the child's weight. I quickly swung down, ordering my officers to move, knowing the wheel would be coming down any second. I made my way to the tent where my former officer was already searching for his ex-teammate.

"Is she…?" I asked.

Instead of answering he lifted something in his arms and it took me a moment to realize it was the child she had been holding, surprisingly unharmed. One of my officers took the crying girl and wrapped her up in a blanket as they took her to get medical attention. I continued to make my way around to find the young Avatar lying on the ground, catching her breath, but also unharmed.

"Well that was a stupid thing to do," I growled. "Your job is to stay out of our way, not get in it."

"You're welcome, Chief," she simply answered, grabbing the Firebender's hand to lift herself up.

I scowled at that but to be honest I was kind of glad she had helped. If she hadn't…the casualties would have been a lot greater.

A clapping sound was heard and we all turned to find Amon, apparently amused by our rescue methods.

"Well done, Chief Bei Fong," he said. "Well done. I see that the city is safe in your hands."

"It was you, wasn't it?" I asked. Of course I already knew the answer.

"I warned you that I would stop at nothing," he said. "The Revolution has begun. The Era of Bending will be over soon." With those words a rope dropped down, carrying him up to a blimp.

I growled at this before throwing my metal cables around another rope, intending to follow him, but that didn't work out. A current went through my body and I was forced to crumble to the floor. I looked up and found a large amount of Amon's men around us. I cursed.

The girl and my former officer wasted no time in fighting back and I had to admit that I was surprised she was able to hold her ground so well. The Avatar fought expertly, avoiding being touched and I had to admit I was slightly impressed.

"Chief, go!" Mako yelled. "We can hold our own!"

I nodded at him and began to follow the blimp, trying to find a way to get on it. When I spotted the rope I had been previously holding I threw the metal cables around it, pulling myself up. I was almost inside when yet another explosion was heard.

Korra was on the ground next to my officer who was unconscious, Lieutenant walking over to them. The girl somehow managed to stand up, fighting to protect her fallen teammate only to be pushed onto the ground. I turned away and looked up, noticing how close to the entrance I was before sighing.

"Stupid girl," I muttered before flinging my metal cables to the tallest building to swing down again.

I reached them just as Lieutenant was going to finish them off and I threw the cables around him and smashed him against a nearby booth. I went over to the Firebender to find him already coming to while the girl struggled to lift herself up. I walked over to her, seeing how much damage was done to her. Her arms were burned and her back was too. It was a miracle she was even coherent.

The girl was tough, I'd give her that.

I offered my hand and she took it, only to pull me towards her, making me fall. I turned around, ready to give her a piece of my mind when I saw her putting up a fight with Amon's right hand man. She grabbed him by the collar and threw him over the edge, and into the water before staggering back.

Mako quickly went over to her, lifting her up. I stood up and walked over to her. She looked really beat up, her face covered with the soot from the fire just like my former officer.

"Let's go get you some medical attention," I offered.

"Just take me home," the girl answered tiredly, leaning against Mako.

"If that's what you want," I answered with a shrug. We walked over to the docks in silence and I finally sighed, pushing my pride down when we reached the boat. "Thank you," I finally said. "You actually helped."

She laughed lightly, shaking her head. "Thanks for helping me out."

I shrugged in response. Maybe the Avatar wasn't as bad as I'd thought.
