Hello there, welcome to the next chapter of Avatar: Immortal Dragon.
The last one did pretty well, so I hope this one is going to be just as good. Now on to the reviews.
girani4: Why would Genji need a bachelor's decree... oh, you mean him being single. Don't worry, I got a story like that planned.
luizd5433: No, Genji doesn't hate Toph.
BIRDOFHERMES: Yeah, I mean ship Genji and Asami in the context of this story. Canon pairings I ship Korra and Asami as well. I'm going to be honest about Genji being Lin's dad, I'm not pulling a Ruin Johnson, though there might be a twist later in book 3. It would be funny to see Genji act like a dad.
Guest: Happy you do.
yummyyogurts: Yeah, that is one of the reason I wanted to do this story first, because my next Avatar story would have been another KorraXOC (Which this technically is but it's not the primary ship). There really aren't a lot of AsamiXOC stories on this site... And I just found out there are more MakoXOC stories...
Chris: Both good ideas, will try to fit the flashback in there somewhere.
Spiral-Voltron-Zero0Q1: Thanks my dude.
Nexue R: Welcome aboard! Happy you like it.
And now story time.
Holding a small black box in his hand, Genji stood outside Lin's office, having been staring at the door for nearly fifteen minutes now. He hesitated for another five, before swallowing the lump in his throat and rasping his fist on the door. Hearing her muffled voice telling to come in, he did so to find Lin sitting behind her desk.
But upon seeing him she immediately shouted, "Get out!"
"No! Wait! I come in peace." Genji said holding up his hands as a sign of surrender, "This time I come for something really important! Something world shattering!"
"What?" Lin said annoyed, "Did you car got impounded?"
"Please! We all know I would go on a rampage if it was." Genji said as he walked up to her desk, "So uhm... Lin. How are you..."
"Busy." she said shortly, "Get to the point."
"Right... So it might be a chance that Asshat..." Genji said a bit uneasy, "Kanto... Isn't your dad."
"What." Lin said flatly.
"Yeah... There is a chance that... You and me are related." Genji said, rubbing the back of his head, "So in other words. Lin, I might be your father."
"Are you drunk!? What kind of drugs have you been taking that makes you spew such nonsense!?" Lin said hotly standing up and slamming her hands on the desk, "All Shashou's are infertile.! There is no way your my father!"
"That's a common misconception, we're basically sterile, like 99.9%. They are rare, but children of Shashou have existed. Me and Toph where sexually active, like really active, around the time you should have been... You know" Genji said placing the box down on the desk, "I preformed a modified version of the 'Genome Test', we used it to test which version of a monster we where hunting. But now it will show if we are related. That's why I needed your hair, though any genetic material could have worked. The vial is either going to be glowing red or blue. If it's red, we are related..."
"Even if we are. What makes you think I want to be related to you!?" Lin said, having to suppress the urge to not launch Genji out of her office with his box or to destroy his face with her fist, "Y-Your a mutant. A freak. A useless relic of a bygone age! You where never there! So why would I want or need you now!?"
"I..." Genji said, not sure what to say as he turned around, "I leave it up to you." and with that he left the office.
In the evening, Korra and Ichiro where sitting on his sofa after dinner, two glasses and a bottle of wine sitting on the table, cuddled up close to each other as music played from the radio.
"This is nice." Ichiro said content.
"Yeah, it is." Korra said with a smile, cuddling up against his muscular chest, "So how was work."
"The usual... After I got that promotion to Head Detective it's been a lot of desk work and giving orders to others." Ichiro said a bit annoyed, "I had a lot more fun when I was still just a detective, I at least got into the field. The most action I get these days is stretch my legs walking to the lunch room."
"At least you get to go out on cases." Korra said, "All I do is train all day. It's like Tenzin's totally forgotten how we beat Amon."
"Well, me and Genji did. But you helped." Ichiro said teasingly, "You know, it is weird. I have gone over it in my head, and I can't help but wonder why they are keeping you locked up."
"Thanks. At least someone is in my corner." she said, placing a kiss on his mouth, "I'm happy your coming on the trip."
"Always wanted to go see the Air Temples. See a bit of the culture from the other side of my family. Not that mom told me a lot about her side of the family." Ichiro said casually, "And spending time with my girlfriend is also a nice bonus."
"Maybe I can teach you a bit of airbending. Korra style." she said with a smile, "Before we go on your dad's study trip, we're gonna have some real fun in my home town at the Glacier Spirits Festival."
"My dad..." Ichiro said a bit uneasy, "Still feels strange."
"It must be... I can't imagine..." Korra said, feeling she had been a bit insensitive to her boyfriend.
"It's alright." Ichiro said, not really bothered by it as he stood up, "It's getting late, should I drive you back home?"
"Oh, already?" Korra said, surprised how fast the time went, "Actually, I had been thinking... Maybe I could spend the next again and maybe... We could take our relationship to the next level."
"What do you... OH." Ichiro said in realization, "I-If your sure..."
As if to confirm his question, Korra jumped up and fortunately enough, Ichiro acted fast enough to catch her bridal style. "Take me." Korra commanded her detective, placing her lips against his.
Ichiro carried her towards the door leading to his bedroom, as they still made out with each other.
He dropped her on his bed, Ichiro still atop of her, ravaging the others lips as Korra kicking off her boots. Ichiro grabs the back of her head while giving gentle bites on her neck along with some rather gentle licks on her ear, this causes her to moan loudly.
Their hands moved over the others body, slowly began to remove their upper body clothing. Once his shirt was off, her eyes trailed down to his muscular chest, falling upon the bulge in his pants, letting her know he was just as ready.
"Oh my..." Korra said with a blush, she was left in only her underwear before she began to kiss him with her tongue invading his mouth.
Ichiro and Korra were about to continue taking each others clothes off when the ringing of the doorbell interrupted their attention.
"Of all the..." Ichiro snarled under his breath, "I'll be right back."
Grabbing his shirt from the ground and threw it on as he walked out of the bedroom and back through the living room.
With the unbuttoned white fabric covering his body, he opened the door slightly to see his mother, though she seemed angry... more than usual.
"Good, your home." Lin said as she walked past her son and into his apartment.
"...Hello to you too mother." Ichiro said, slightly annoyed, "This is really a bad time..."
"I can't believe him! Leave it to him to make up such a sick prank!" Lin began to rant as pacing around the room, "It's completely asinine!... It must be a joke right... Although it would completely explain her behavior! They act exactly the same!"
"Mother!" Ichiro shouted loudly finally getting her attention, "What are you talking about!?"
"I... Right." Lin said, seemingly composing herself, "You have no context. Genji came to my office, not sure why but his drugged up ass now believes he's my father."
"Genji is your dad?" Korra said, having emerged from the room, wearing one of Ichiro's shirt which was a few sizes too big for her, covering enough to leave it a question if she was wearing underwear or not.
"Korra?" Lin said surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"Well... Me and Ichiro where about to make a grandchild for you." Korra said casually, "But back to why your here, Genji is your dad?"
"Maybe all the drugs and booze has gotten to him. But he believes he's my dad, he even has done some sort of Sashou test to confirm it. Blue if it wasn't a match, red if it was." Lin said with a scoff, "And before you make a smartass remark, yes it was red."
"By the spirits... My greatest fear has become reality..." Ichiro said horrified as he sat down, "I'm related to Genji!"
During the morning of their trip towards the South Pole at Air Temple Island. The Airbending Family, Korra, Ichiro, Asami, Mako and Bolin where waiting at the docks. The loud horn of a ship was sounded as a modest luxury yacht comes pulling in.
On starboard stood a proud Genji wearing a set of black sunglasses, "Hey ma, if you could see me now! Arms spread wide on the starboard bow!" he shouted as he spread his arms, "Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow! With vector in my veins, anything is possible!"
The stairs where lowered and at the top of it Genji came up to meet them, "Genji is captain of the party boat!" he yelled loudly, "Arr!"
"That's uncle Genji for you." Bumi said impressed as they walked aboard, "Where did you get this?"
"Won her in a game of Pai Sho. She used to be named 'Titanic', but I found that sounding very ominous for some reason." Genji said tapping his chin, "Wanted to rename it 'The Black Pearl' but apparently that name is already taken and you can't steal the name of a ship by killing the owner. So I went for 'The Asami'."
"What?" Asami said surprised.
"It makes it sound classy." Genji said with a pinching his index and thumb together in a circle, holding his other fingers up.
"Can we see where Grandpa Aang was born?" Jinora asked excitedly, her father as they walked on deck.
"How many lemurs can I have?" Meelo chimed in.
"I wanna get tattoos!" Ikki said excited, "But instead of arrows, I want lightning bolts!"
"You can't get lightning bolts." Jinora pointed out, "That doesn't make any sense."
"Doesn't make sense." Genji said getting an approving look from Jinora, "But sound fucking awesome!" and he high-fived Ikki..
"Please, Genji." Tenzin said placing his hand over his face, "Don't curse in front of the children."
"Why the fuck not!?" Genji said.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Meelo said happily as he began to run around.
"That's why." Tenzin said exasperated.
During the boat ride, after the kids went to sleep, Team Avatar was sitting in the lounge area, taking some drinks and playing a boardgame Genji found in one of the cabinets.
The board was laid out on the table with a big spinning wheel in the middle, which could land on taking a shot, a dare, a truth card or traitor card which would force another player to drink or make another player take a dear.
"Alright." Asami said picking a card from the truth pile, "If you had to choose one person in this room to die, who would it be?"
"Mako!" Genji said immediately and pointing at the young man, "Men should be able to face their death head-on.
"Bit hypocritical coming from you..." Ichiro muttered into his glass, "The guy that can't die."
"That's fine. I'd kill you, too, Genji!" Mako said annoyed, "I'd kill you just for fun, even if I didn't have to!"
"Okay, why don't we play another game." Asami said a bit uneasy as she turned to her friend, "Right, Korra?"
"I'd kill Mako too." Korra said while nodding after thinking about it, much to Genji's amusement.
"All right, that's great." Mako muttered, "You know what? I don't want to play this game anymore."
"Why Mako? What is it about this game..." Genji said as he leaned in until his face was right next to Mako's, "That frightens you?"
"I'm not frightened, Genji!" Mako protested spinning the middle and managing to land on traitor, "You know what? Fine. I dare you to... Smash that vase over your head!"
"What? That vase!?" Genji said pointing at it, "No problem!"
Without missing a beat, Genji stood up and grabbed the vase from the nearby table before smashing it down over his head with great force, shattering it on impact so shards of porcelain rained everywhere.
"By the spirits..." Bolin muttered shocked, "You're bleeding."
"You see how easy that was, Mako? You see how easy that was!? I never cower in the face of danger." Genji said, blood dripping down from atop his head as he turned to Asami, "Is it my turn now!?"
"Yes, it is." Asami said slightly terrified.
"I dare Ichiro..." Genji said pointing to the detective, "To strike me!"
"What?" Ichiro said sitting up, "Why are you suddenly going after me?"
"I'm feeling an energy from you... like you wanna fight me, man." Genji said, holding out his arms, "So, hit me."
"No." Korra said immediately grabbing a hold of her boyfriends arm, "We're done."
"Come on!" Genji taunted with his arms wide, "Hit me!"
"No, don't." Korra warned him.
"Fight him, Ichiro!" Mako shouted.
"What is happening!?" Bolin said frightened.
Ichiro shot up from his seat and with a wide but powerful swing of his trained arm, he punched Genji right in his jaw.
"Yeah!" Genji shouted feeling a little dazed but alive, "Feeling better? Want another go? Grandson?"
"You asked for it!" Ichiro shouted as he charged Genji, slamming him into the wall. But as he did, Genji managed to reverse their position and lock Ichiro in a headlock who was struggling to get out.
"It's okay." Genji whispered, "Go to sleep."
"Let go of him, Genji!" Korra shouted as she comes rushing over, "What the fuck is your problem!?" as she managed to wrestle her boyfriend free from his grandfather.
"I don't have a problem, Twinkle Toes." Genji said placing his hands on his hips, "What's your problem?"
"We are going to bed." Korra said, "You're a dick."
"Not a small one either." Genji said with a laugh, "Well, this has been an unfortunate turn of events... At least let me fix you a night cap. Yeah." But as he turned around to the bar, Ichiro had his hand firmly gripped by Korra as she led him out and towards their bedroom.
The following morning, 'The Asami' docked at the South Pole and once the stairs where lowered, the airbending children excitedly greet Katara and her daughter Kya, who are awaiting them on the dock.
The children all gather around Katara and hug her waist. "Oh... you've all gotten so big." Katara said.
"We missed you, Aunt Kya." Jinora said.
"Oh, I missed you, too. Your father doesn't bring you to visit nearly enough." Kya said before looking up at her little brother, "He's probably scared I'll beat him up like when we were kids." she lightly punches Tenzin's arm playfully.
"I'm not scared of you..." Tenzin muttered, slightly timidly, "...anymore." as he rubbing his arm.
"I pay to have seen that!" Genji said with a laugh as he came over.
"Uncle Genji!" Kya said as she threw herself at him as he embraced her in a bear hug, lifting her off the ground, "I was so happy to hear from mom that you where alive."
"It's good to be back." Genji said as he placed her back on the ground, "I still remember that little girl who would sit on my lap. Now look at you, you've grown into a beautiful woman."
A bit further behind them, where Korra hugging Tonraq while Ichiro stands behind her and Senna stands to the side.
"You remember Ichiro." Korra said, gesturing behind her to her boyfriend.
"It's good to meet you again, sir." Ichiro said, holding out his hand.
"I hope you're not getting my daughter into anymore trouble up in the city." Tonraq said sternly as he crossed his arms.
"I try to keep her out of it as much as possible." Ichiro said seriously as if talking to his police chief, "But you know your daughter, sir. She is very strong willed. If she sets her mind to something, there is no stopping her. She also attracts trouble very easily."
"It's a gift." Korra said with a smirk, gripping his hand.
"Then I suggest you return it." Ichiro said with a smile.
Tonraq laughs and shakes the detective's free hand. Just as a large and ornate Water Tribe ship docks on the other side of the pier. IT was even bigger than Genji's ship and the crowd claps and cheers.
"Compensating for something." Genji muttered irritated.
"The great chief of the Northern Water Tribe comes to grace us with his presence." Tonraq said sarcastic, "Hooray."
Senna looks at him and puts an assuring hand on his arm, "Just relax." she said as her husband looks down on his wife, "Tonraq, he'll be gone soon enough."
A tall water tribe man flanked by a set of twins, depart the ship walking down the plank to the pier, accompanied by guards.
"Oh, hello." Bolin said upon seeing the two, putting on a flirtatious smile, "Who are the lovely ladies?"
Korra glances at Bolin with an amused smile, "That's Eska and Desna." Korra said, "The chief's children."
"Correct me if I'm wrong, which obviously I'm not." Genji said pointing to the twins, "But Desna is a guy."
"That he is." Korra said.
"What?" Bolin said as his eyes widen in surprise; "I mean, of course I knew... So which one is Desna?"
"If you feel a sausage in the pantry." Genji said, patting him on the back, "You got the wrong one."
Before Bolin could ask for more advice, Unalaq and his group approaching Korra's group, where the chief bowed towards the Avatar, "Good to see you again, Avatar Korra." he said.
"Good to see you too." Korra said with a bow.
Unalaq then turned to Korra's dad, "Tonraq." he said coldly.
"Brother." Tonraq said back in the same tone. Mako and Bolin who worriedly look at each other, surprised with the tone the two brothers use to address each other.
That afternoon, the group was accompanied by Unalaq over the festival grounds, where many tents for games and good stalls where standing.
"It's a shame the Southerners have abandoned all connections to the spirits." Unalaq said shaking his head, "Even during the most hallowed times."
"I've always loved the Glacier Spirits Festival. Eating cotton candy, playing games." Korra said looking around with a smile, "It's fun."
"Yes fun. This festival used to be a solemn time of fasting and meditation." Unalaq said looking around the festival, "Now it's just a chance to watch some rube try to stick an entire arctic hen in his mouth or get wasted as soon as possible."
The group stops and looks in the direction to see Bolin trying to stuff a whole arctic hen inside his mouth and is attempting to swallow it, while Genji was in quick succession downing entire mugs of strong Water Tribe alcohol.
Upon hearing them, Bolin's eyes widens as turns to face the group and shrugs, "What?" Bolin he said closes his eyes and clenches his fists in delight, "Oh, it's so good."
"I witness the the old festival." Genji said as he walked over with two mugs, "It was boring as fuck! It changed for the better!"
"I highly doubt you witness it." Unalaq said dismissively, "Besides, aren't you a bit too young?"
"I'm much older than I look." Genji said, downing a mug.
"Right. Well try telling that to the sailors who are being attacked by angry spirits in southern waters." Unalaq said with a frown, "Some traditions have purpose."
"I call bullshit on that!" Genji shouted, "Such spirits would have attack long before now."
"Wait." Korra said surprised, "Spirits are attacking ships?"
"I'm surprised the Avatar doesn't know about that." Unalaq nodded, "Apparently you haven't been given all of the information you need. It would be my honor to instruct you in the spiritual ways of the Water Tribe."
"I wouldn't mind learning about fighting spirits." she said glancing at Tenzin, "Airbending is getting pretty boring."
"Tenzin is Korra's instructor." Tonraq said at once, "He can give her all the training she needs."
"So you've said." the chief said unconvinced.
"It's not my place to question." Ichiro said diplomatically, "Isn't it up to Korra to decide who trains her?"
"Oh, you know who you should ask to train you?" Bolin suddenly said, "Genji!"
"Why would this... man." Unalaq said dismissively, "Be fit to train the Avatar?"
Genji held up a finger as he downed his last mug in one go, "Because I'm a Shashou of the Dragon Qiyue Ren." he said once his mug is empty.
Unalaq smile faded, "You mean to tell me..." he said, "This man is a Shashou?"
"Oh yeah!" Bolin said, his usual grin stretched across his lips, "Not just any Shashou! He's Genji Chirayus, also known as the Immortal Dragon!"
"That is me!" Genji said with a laugh and a slight bow.
"I see..." Unalaq said.
But something caught Genji's attention, he noticed something in the Northern Chief's eyes, as if he was this new knowledge had unnerved him.
"I see." Unalaq said, "I would like to speak more with you Mr. Chirayus. During the festival dinner perhaps?"
"No thank you." Genji said shaking his head, "I rather spend it with my nieces and nephews."
Later that day, Genji let the way to a large, white ship where the meeting would take place he had promised Asami he would introduce to a potential business partner.
"Thank you for introducing me to Varrick." Asami said, "He is one of the richest men in the world, and he controls the entire global shipping business."
"Oh really!?" Genji said with wide eyes, "I had no idea!"
"Well I didn't." Bolin said, as Pabu sat on his shoulder as he had been dragged along, "And why am I here?"
"Because as I remember you wanted to be a Shashou, and it looks more impressive if I have a though looking bodyguard. With emphasis on 'looking'. It's all to help Asami." Genji said as they began to board the yacht, "Just stand there, be pretty, don't say a thing and follow my lead."
"No problem! I am great at being pretty." Bolin said with a mock salute, "Man, this is nice! I got to get into this whole business thing."
Inside the meeting room in the yacht. Varrick is sitting on a cushion, his eyes closed and his fingers pressed against his head in concentration with a look of extreme focus on his face while his assistant, Zhu Li, sits beside him, writing on a notepad.
He is surrounded by a number of other people who are all looking at him intently. He stops suddenly, a massive smile on his face, "Did ya see that?" he said, spreading his arms, "Levitation! I was a foot off the ground! Is that incredible or what?"
His audience begins clapping and murmuring among themselves as Varrick stands, his cloak falling from his shoulders as he does so, and bows. Genji just sit with his hands in his pocket. Asami claps with a polite smile as Bolin scratches the back of his head.
"He wasn't really floating..." Bolin whispered, "Right?"
"Even I can see that." Genji said, "And I'm drunk and possibly on some sort of drugs."
A shocked Asami gasps and puts her head in her hands in embarrassment, the stunned audience gasping and looking at Bolin as a shocked Varrick looks up at Bolin as well.
"Oh, I think they heard us." Genji said when he noticed.
The inventor stands up and walks over, stopping in front of Bolin, while putting his hands on his hips and intimidatingly gazing at him, "Are you saying I wasn't levitating?"
"Uh..." Bolin said nervously, looking to Genji for his lead. He gave him a two thumbs up, "...no?"
Turning back to his audience, Varrick shouted, "Well, why didn't anyone tell me? Now I look like an moron!" before pointing at a man in a red hat, who is also on a pillow, "Swami, you're fired!"
The man looks up to Varrick and glares at Bolin before bowing his head and retreating up the steps behind Varrick.
"I like you, kid, you're a real straight shooter, just like me." Varrick continue, "Genji, he's with you?"
"That he is!" Genji said proudly, "He's my apprentice."
"A good choice!" Varrick laughed, "And of course you have a beautiful lady at your arm! That's the Genji I know!"
"Bolin is a man... Oh, you mean Asami." Genji said, "No, she is a potential business partner."
"That one way to impress her!" Varrick continued, "But first you gotta check out that other venture I was talking about! Zhu Li, do the thing!"
The assistant stands up and starts a projector. A moving image of an ostrich horse appears on a screen behind Asami and Varrick.
"What kind of magic is this?" Bolin said impressed.
"It's science not magic." Genji corrected him, "For magic you need to apply eyeliner."
"And it's old garbage! That's the past! Shut it off, Zhu Li!" Varrick cut in, as Zhu Li turns off the projector, "Imagine watching this! Ginger, come over here and do your poses!", he gestures toward to his left.
"Oh hello." Genji said with an interested smirk as a beautiful red haired woman, Ginger, in a white fur coat, who walks toward them. She drops her shawl and strikes a number of poses, as lights flash behind her.
Bolin looks wide eyed and drooling, until Varrick gets in the way of his view.
"Spectacular! And, we tell a story; there's romance, action, some funny animal stuff for the kids. You know, whatever! Thanks, Ginger, go rest your gams." Varrick said leaping forward and sits between Genji and Asami, "How about that tiger shark? We're gonna do big business with these movers as I call them."
"Varrick is right, this is a big opportunity." Genji said, before gesturing to Asami, "About cutting her in..."
"Stop!" Varrick said, pointing to the ceiling, "She is in."
"I-I am?" Asami said as Varrick took her hand and shakes it.
"If Genji vouches for you, your awesome in my book! We'll hammer out the details of our ship line deal at the royal feast tonight." Varrick said, turning to his audience, "Now, who wants a rocket boat ride?"
Varrick's guests exclaim their approval before leaving the room.
"Is that how business usually goes?" Bolin asked confused.
"It is for Varrick." Genji said, before Asami happily hugs him and places a kiss on his cheek, "What did I do to earn that!?"
"Because your the best." she said happily.
"That's common knowledge." Genji said with a smirk.
Twelveth chapter, not much action again but a bit of world building and a bit of relaxation. Hope you enjoyed.
Seeing as a lot of you ship Genji and Asami, what would there shipname be? Genami? Asanji?
