After rewatching the Legend of Korra, specifically the pro bending episodes, I feel like it would've made much more sense for Toph to have invented pro bending instead of becoming a cop/chief of police. I can understand why her developing a school to teach metal bending would be an aspect of her future, but a cop? Not so much. Considering her past as the Blind Bandit, creating pro bending makes much more sense for her character.

AVATAR: TLA/LOK universe “sequel AU” concept
AU takes place several avatar cycles after Korra
In the year 2000, the world has undergone a massive transformation and is a far cry from the one known in the days of the Four Nations. The once-divided nations of the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads have united under a single banner, forming [unnamed country], a progressive society that has largely abandoned its ancient traditions. Bending—once revered as an essential skill—is now in a regulatory grey area (regulated; either licensed, suspended, or exiled), seen as irrelevant in the age of technology. The Avatar, once the world's protector, is now nothing more than a forgotten relic of history, their role reduced to a mere tradition. It is a society where the ancient traditions have been abandoned in favor of rapid technological advancement.
When Sozin's Comet unexpectedly returns years ahead of its predicted path, it brings with it a cosmic anomaly that disrupts the natural balance of all four elements. The comet’s influence creates global chaos:
Fire becomes uncontrollable, causing wildfires and spontaneous flames.
Earthquakes rattle cities, weakening infrastructures.
Water floods coastal cities and causes unpredictable tides.
Air storms destroy weather patterns, leading to violent, erratic tempests.
The comet’s arrival also shatters the delicate peace between the coexisting physical world and Spirit World, awakening once-dormant spirits and causing widespread spiritual disturbances.
The Avatar, the latest in the Waterbender line and is no one but just a typical high schooler in every way, is ill-prepared for such a crisis. A world-saving hero that no one expects because they’ve been ignored their whole life. Someone who prefers to have an Algebra test rather than deal with a world-ending crisis. Untrained and inexperienced, they are thrust into a world where bending is forbidden and the Avatar’s spiritual connection is weak. With the balance of the world in jeopardy, the Avatar embarks on a journey to rediscover bending, reconnect with lost traditions, and confront the growing chaos.
(Excerpt from lore written by burymenot)
Note: This is a concept developed by my digital arts class, in collaboration with myself, that we got way too invested in, and so we must release this hyperfixation in public lol
Team Avatar
Tumblr media
Zen, 17 (Avatar from the Water tribe)
He is the incarnation following the unscrupulous air nomad Avatar Khando, widely reviled for being a menace to society. He led a renegade faction of the Freedom Fighters, who were more extremist in their methods. This unflattering reputation further soured the reception towards the next Avatar. (written by clygerdoodles, who is a friend I roped into this AU lol)
Zen is the titular Avatar, master of Four elements & meant to bring balance to the world. He is in his last year of high school, living a typical teenage life in a quiet neighborhood together with his parents and pet (otter-platypus) Shin, content with a life of mediocrity ever since his unceremonious announcement as the Avatar. When called to fulfill his traditional duty, he reluctantly accepts the responsibility, having feelings of doubt bothering him every now and again.
Thrust into a chaotic world that suddenly needs an Avatar after some cycles of indifference, he faces many challenges that questions his principles and world views, hardwired by history and his own upbringing. While he strives hard to exceed the expectations placed upon him despite his unpreparedness, deep down all he wants is to live a normal life like others. (Written by jnzn.art)
Tumblr media
Jia Zhang, 17 (Avatar’s bestfriend)
With one parent being a famous Mover star, and the other being a top socialite, Jia’s parents barely spend time with her and as such, she is spoiled rotten, if only to prevent her from complaining about them on social media and ruining their reputation.
Daughter of extremely wealthy and successful parents, Jia is someone used to getting what she wants. Besides her snobbish personality, she is also loud and catty, which makes most of her classmates dislike her. She has an unbridled obsession with Avatar lore and became notorious for her many product orders from Avatarland, always looking forward when she will receive her next parcel. Born an earthbender, she instead appropriates waterbender customs, all because the current Avatar is from the water tribe.
As the self-appointed bestfriend of the Avatar, she is ever supportive of him and he is one of the few people she acts cordial with. She accompanies Zen on his training journey across the world, oftentimes paying for the group’s expenses with no questions asked. Always feels unappreciated and useless, as her ideas are usually shot down or talked over by others and isn’t assigned in serious roles in the team dynamic. (Written by kuramaru)
Tumblr media
The Twins (Children of current head of the White Lotus)
Kyna, 18 (potentially talented airbender)
Bubbly and down to earth, Kyna is the more approachable one between the twins. Unlike her brother, she prefers to go out with friends and traveling to different Air Temples. At home, she dutifully fulfills her responsibilities in the household, leading her to be considered the “favored child.” Despite that, she has a close relationship with Kai, and loves to pester him, much to his annoyance, but would sometimes help him in his tech endeavors.
Trying to live up to her namesake, she learned airbending at a very young age but has yet to master it. Touted as talented, yet plagued by laziness. She wants to earn her master tattoos yet spends more time reading scrolls or watching documentaries about the art rather than practicing it. When presented with the opportunity by her father to accompany the Avatar on his training journey, she jumps on the chance, relishing on the thought of traveling the world. (Written by Mikay C)
Kai, 18 (tech savvy non-bender)
Kai is someone who is not interested with his Father’s work in the White Lotus nor in his sister’s involvement with Team Avatar. In fact, he aims to graduate from high school and finally pursue a degree in Robotics Engineering. Deeming their duty to the Avatar more important, his father convinced him through bribery, buying him tech he so badly wants just as long as he tags along with the Team. Also, he cares too much about his sister to leave her alone.
His personality consists of him being distant most of the time, always appearing cool and mysterious, but is actually emotionally repressed and easily irritated. He is tech savvy and a self-identified gamer, preferring to shut himself in his room studying robotics and tinkering, or play games the whole day. (Written by KeziartS)
(The students assigned these roles didn’t fulfill some of their requirements, hence the minimal art from them directly 😔)
Tumblr media
Zhihan, 21 (Lost heir to the Fire Nation throne)
She is the heir to the Fire Nation royal family, their lineage difficult to trace when the monarchy collapsed after the relatively short reign of Iroh II. The fact is revealed to her by her Uncle Ikigai, whom she doesn’t have the best relationship with, believing him to be her father’s killer. Ultimately, her ‘princess’ status is something she doesn’t have it in her to really care about.
A college drop-out who opted to be a cast member in Avatarland, a theme park located at an old Fire Nation temple. Along with her cousin Zar, they live in poverty, being overworked and underpaid in their jobs as performers, so they would often stage scams on unsuspecting tourists in order to get by. Self-serving and ignorant to a fault, but not without morals. She mostly comes off as friendly and endearing, and uses that natural charm to commit petty theft or lie her way out of trouble. Never having formal combat training in Firebending, she is at the very least, aware of the basics, and mostly uses it in her performances akin to party tricks.
Somewhat apologetic for causing a rift between two members of Team Avatar, she leads them to her uncle Ikigai, one of the firebending masters listed to help train Zen. Consequently, she is forced to accompany them the rest of the way, acting as the ‘legal guardian’ for Team Avatar, but only after striking an agreement with them that she is to be compensated.
(The character was supposed to be one-off, like the Cabbage guy, but my students kept adding roles and traits to her and since I go along with what they say, she eventually became a fleshed out character I got attached to 😭)
Tumblr media
Enola Baolan, 19 (Book 1 antagonist)
She is branded as the child of traitors, a title she inherited through no fault of her own, but because the United Republic of Nations’ leaders labeled her parents as such, for their groundbreaking invention on technology capable of mimicking bending abilities to a certain extent.
Enlian, who uses “Enola” as an alias, is a non-bender with a troubled past, born in Ba Sing Se to earthbending parents who specialize in metalbending. After her parents were “banished” by the government for their inventions, she is orphaned at a very young age. She lived with many foster families, enduring both kindness and neglect. She worked odd jobs through the years, such as a mechanic at Teo’s workshop and as a courier at Kuruk Express, earning enough wage for modest living conditions.
Once she discovers the truth about her parent’s disappearance, she finds their hidden laboratory, collecting their notes and working prototypes, and vows vengeance against their oppressors. Though she cannot bend, she compensates for it with sheer tenacity and tactical ingenuity, paired with utilizing her parent’s prized invention, the Earth Gauntlets, makes her a force to be reckoned with.
Initially masquerading as a bender of all elements, she acts as the foil to the Avatar. She challenges Zen’s views, who believes himself a beacon of balance, but for Enola, he is the enduring symbol of a flawed system. (Written by burymenot)

Hey guys!
In light of Redbubble’s new “artist tier” set up, I was debating on getting rid of my shop, since I haven’t put much effort into it. But I’ve decided instead that I’m going to keep it, and start uploading designs more regularly and advertise it. So please, take a look at my shop! I have AtLA and LoK merch and queer merch, well as some other stuff, with more to come!
Here’s a few things I have available:
https://www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/Galaxy-Deer-by-badcrowcreation/115084128.EJUG5
And more! Be sure to check out my entire shop:
I’m still adding existing works to my shop, and soon I’ll have fresh new designs too! The designs are available across a wide range of products, so please have a look and see if anything catches your eye.
Thanks!

Avatar: Legend of Korra Fanfiction - Korra x OC Male Reader.
(DISCLAIMER’S: I DON’T OWN THE LEGEND OF KORRA IP OR IT’S CHARACTERS! & THIS IS A NON CANON FANFICTION THAT ISN’T CONSTRAINED BY THE LIMITATIONS OF THE OFFICIAL AVATAR LOK CANON & ANY ATTEMPT’S TO SILENCE THIS FANFIC IS A BLATANT VIOLATION OF MY FREE SPEECH RIGHT’S!)
Book: 2 Chapter: 1 Meltingpoint Raid!
Three years later-
White Lotus Guard POV:
“Every action also has an equal & opposite reaction, Varrick’s Third Law.” My instructor says as he’s giving me tour of the prison & I replied with a simple “ uh hm.” answer as he continues as we’re on our way to check on the prisoner “if you want take a break i break your legs by Earthbending rock spikes through your knees! Action, Reaction.” I sigh “I get it, no breaks!” “THAT’S RIGHT, NO BREAKS! & you know why?!” “Because if you give breaks nobody will be here to listen to your long winded speeches?” “NO!.. It’s our job’s to keep our prisoner locked up at all times!” As we arrive at the giant prisoner cell door I curiously ask “What could this prisoner have possibly done to warrant us never taking any breaks?” “Well ’AS YOU KNOW!..”- “Actually I don’t know, that’s why you’re telling me.” -“DO NOT INTERRUPT YOUR SUPERIOR WHEN HE’S MONOLOGUING!” Sighs “Yes sir, sorry sir.” “AND DO YOU SIGH WHEN YOU RELUCTANTLY KISS MY A!”- “YES, SIR!” “THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR! Now, where was I? Ah yes, the prisoner’s committed horrific crimes. He’s murdered several World Leaders, assaulted & murdered dozens of innocent gua!-” As he finally finished his monologue he noticed that I dozed off to sleep & just sighed “Sometimes I wonder why I even bother. WAKE UP YA FLATWORM-MAGGOT!” “WHA-W-WHAT! So what were you saying? Sorry I must’ve of dozed off..” “Ugh I was saying..”- *DING!* “What the?”- *BOOOOOOM!* *BOOOOOOOOOM!* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!…*
Everything’s hazy & my ears are ringing. I start to regain my sight as see that everyone’s else is dead on the floor & I see a hooded slender looking phantom slicing up my new recruit.
Tumblr media
(Author note: sorry for the bad quality drawing, it been drawn on a smartphone.. ☹️)
Third Person POV:
The phantom then walks over to & opens the giant prison cell door, the prisoner asks the intruder “You’re interrupting my meditation?..” then the mysterious phantom breaks the prisoner’s chained restraints & asks the prisoner “Early Parole.-“ The surviving White Lotus Guard interrupted the phantom by shouting “NOT IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!” As he makes a move to try & earthbend the prisoner slices the guard’s head clean off with his chains, spraying out tons of blood all over the phantoms suit he quickly wipes the fresh blood off of his face as resumes to ask the prisoner “So.. you interested?..” then the prisoner steps out of dark cell to reveal it’s Zaheer & simply replies “I’m In.”
Tumblr media
Korra’s POV:
“I can’t do this, it’s too much!” Ikki says “Don’t give up!” Then Jinora says “You can go on, I believe in you Korra!” I close my eyes & try to eat another final few mini cabbage balls in my bowl before my opponent finishes his, as I eat the first one Meelo quickly shouts “REMEMBER, BE THE CABBAGE BALL KORRA!” I nearly vomited all 19 of them straight back out after hearing that but I managed to swallow them all down & proceeded to eat the next one as my opponent just eats his second last cabbage ball, then I eat the final cabbage ball I struggled at first but barely managed to swallow it down then my opponent attempted to eat his while he had managed to eat his final cabbage ball at first he ultimately fails to actually swallow it & he vomits all 21 of his cabbage balls onto the floor. Then the announcer blows his whistle & says “& OUR VERY OWN AVATAR TAKES & CLAIMS THE TITLE CABBAGE BALL CHAMPION & IS THE WINNER OF THE CABBAGE CHARITY FESTIVAL THAT HAS BEEN GRACIOUSLY SPONSORED BY BOTH CABBAGE CORP & SATO INDUSTRIES! NOW GIVE A ROUND OF A APPLAUSE FOR A NEW CHAMPION EVERYBODY!..” & everyone starts to clap & cheer.
I then wave to the crowd as I made my way through the upper level of the main foyer, then when once I was out of sight I covered my mouth & started running through several corridors accidentally bumping & pushing over several Cabbage Corp staff in a race against the clock until I reached the back entrance to the building & rushing through the back garden to a secluded cliff side balcony to finally vomit up all 21 cabbage balls over the ledge of the balcony, as I finished & started feeling better I hear a familiar voice “Great job holding your cabbage balls Korra, I couldn’t even make it past ten Cabbage Balls.” I turn around to see none other than Tenzin is the one who just said that, my widened as I say “Tenzin the Airbending master has got ..jokes?!” Tenzin chuckles as he remarks “Contrary to popular belief I do have my fun side, if you consider swallowing Cabbage Balls for charity fun?..” he said with a snickering smirk. I roll my eyes at his immaturity then say “Your kids have changed you, you never used to not be an uptight stick in the mud.” “WHAT’S THIS ABOUT ME BEING A STICK IN THE MUD?!” He fumingly shouted as his face turned dark red “..& THERE’S THE TENZIN THAT WE KNOW & LOVE!” Then we both laughed.
Then his family arrives & the all kids scream “KORRA!” Simultaneously as they tackled me into a huge group hug. Then Meelo soils the mood as he says “See, I TOLD YOU that you can be Cabbage Balls!” Then my stomach churns & I immediately rush over to ledge of the balcony to vomit again, once I was finished I turned around to see everyone else giving Meelo the look as Ikki punches his shoulder & just says “Really, ..soo not cool bro!” Meelo shrugged as he confusingly says “What?!..” Pema then says “Congratulations Korra, you actually beat Tenzin’s record.” “Thanks Pema, I really do appreciate your.”- I then see a certain familiar smirking brunette woman standing behind them & i excuse myself from the group to follow her as she approaches the nearest corridor corner she slides her hand along the corridor wall as looks back & winks at me with her devious smile she playfully rushes to the nearest secluded storage room as I followed her I mumbled under my breath “hm, She always did love a chase..” then playfully give chase follow her to the Storage Room & as we enter Asami locks the door behind us & we started deeply passionately kissing each other until she recoiled back sarcastically saying “Ugh Cabbage balls Breath!” I jokingly said “You want some more leftovers?!” & I put my cabbage coated tongue out show her as she predictably retorts in playful disgust “EEWWW YOU DISGUSTING MONSTER!” We both then just laughed then Asami asked seriously “Nah but seriously, are you feeling alright after swallowing all of those?”- “Don’t you dare finish that sentence & I’ll be just fine okay?” “Uh Sure Korra, I hope you’re still hungry enough for our weekly dinner date?” “Oh you bet babe, just as long as it’s a smaller meal this time for obvious reasons..” “Of course.” She said with a smile & a small giggle. “Have I ever told you how adorable your giggles are?” “Heh, Definitely not enough times. Let’s go..”
As we exited the storage room we a familiar voice remark “You know you guys are being way too literal with the whole Coming Out of the Closet thing when you both are literally exiting out of an actual closet together?” We both giggled as we hugged both Mako & Bolin & happily greeted them “Hey you two it’s been too long!” “Yeah we’ve been wondering what you guys have been up to the past few years..” “You know what we’ve been doing.” Mako said “I know but that’s just work, what have you guy’s been up to outside of work?” “Oh well I don’t have anything really going on, just work I guess.” “You know it’s unhealthy to spend all of your time working?..” “Yeah I know, but when there’s always someone in need I have to help..” “what about you Bolin? Have you & Opal been thinking about finally tying the knot yet?” “Oh, uhh..”- *BOOOM!…* everyone tumbles over “Is everyone okay?!” Mako asked then both Bolin & Asami nodded as I said while also nodding “Yes Mako, we’re fine.” I then quietly checked with Asami “Are you alright?” “I’m alright Korra.” “Good.” Then an Alarm goes off throughout the building, a intercom message starts playing which is oddly narrated by the Pro Bending narrator (“This is an Emergency Cabbage Corp announcement Cabbage Corp is 100% under the attack! I repeat Cabbage Corp is 100% under the attack! Could everyone please safely evacuate the building before I piss my pants again! This is NOT a drill! THIS is a drill!” *Jackhammer Noises**STATIC*) Bolin quickly remarks “Hey where’d he go? I was about to go get the popcorn!” Asami confusingly remarks “Not the time Bolin!” “Oh come on you can’t say that listening to that guy’s voice doesn’t want to make you sit back, kick your legs up & just eat some popcorn?!” “You can’t be seriously be?!- Yeah okay, me too.” then I tell them “Focus guys, we need to get the civilians out of here before someone gets hurt. I’ll go check on Tenzin & his family to see if they’re all okay, I’ll meet you all at the main hall!” I quickly pecks Asami on her lips as she tells me “Be carful Korra.” “No worries darling.” Then run off.
I then arrived back to where Tenzin’s family was before the explosion to check on them as I arrived I see chief Beifong is with them & I concerningly asked “Is everyone alright?!” “We’re all fine Korra, but we all have bigger problems.” “What’s happening?” Beifong explains “It’s Tokuga, he’s returned & is attacking the building.” “Okay, get get everyone out of here & we’ll handle it.” “Got it, you all heard the Avatar. Let’s go!”
Tokuga’s POV:
“How long do we have before we’re in the Vault?!” “Just a few minutes sir!” “Good, everyone else kill everyone who tries to reach us!” a Sarge looking fellow replied “YA GOT IT CHEIF! ALRIGHT YA NANCIES, YA HEARD THE MAN NOW LET’S HUSTLE ON THE DOUBLE!” Then everyone got into their positions ready for a fight.
Third POV:
The room was quiet, too quiet then the barricaded double doors burst open with a lot of smoke filled the area then as the dust clears there’s the Avatar standing in the middle of the doorway cracking her knuckles. As she says “Alright fellas, who’s first?” soldiers then shout “OPEN FIRE!” She then Earthbended up a rock barricaded in front of herself, then metalbends the bullets lodged into the barricade right back into their guns causing them to explode in the soldiers hands *BOOMS* “ARRGH!” She then airbends them all back away from the door causing them the runaway back into the foyer towards the Vault screaming “RUUUN!” “AH OH SPIRITS!” “I DON’T WANNA DIE!” Asami, Bolin & Mako all run in to meet Korra & tell her “Everyone’s out, it’s just us & them..” Korra simply said “Good.” Bolin shouts “THIS IS GONNA BE FUN! TEAM AVATAR BACK AT IT AGAIN!” Then Team Avatar heroically changes into the army of mercenaries & attacks in unison.
Then a wave of pure WATER, EARTH, FIRE, AIR all sweep through the foyer area. The soldiers started getting cat & mouse chased all throughout the room with a few soldiers hiding behind a wall puffed out as the sarge says “Come on guys let’s keep moving on double or in this case on the Quadruple!” “I think we should fight, otherwise they’ll just start picking us all off on by.-“ *CRASH* & a metal bended improvised glove tears through the wall & grabs the talking soldier by the neck plate as he shouts “ONE!..” then is pulled into the wall disorienting him before the whole wall is sent flying into him pushing him into the opposite wall then Avatar Korra water whips another soldiers left leg pulling him into the air sending him flying into the downed soldier knocking them both out, as the sarge cocks his soo called shotgun Bolin Earthbend his feet into tripping him over causing him to miss at point blank range then he Earthbended to coat the bottom of his boots & sidekicks Sarge square in the head, sending him into the wall a sniper rifle soldier tries and fails to shoot Bolin from a far not realising that Korra metalbended the bullets out of the way then argratingly shouted “Son of a rotten Spirit! Why can’t I even hit anything with this stupid faulty Sniper-rifle?!” The Sniper narrowly dodges a blast of fire to the face as Mako jumps & lands right in front of him & retorts “It’s not the tool, it’s the man!” Then shoots a fireball at him, he ducks out of the way then flicks a switch on his rifle then his Weapon starts charging up with electricity as he starts minalikly  laughing as he pulls the trigger Makos eyes widened then as the rifle fires a blast of pure electricity he manages lightning bend & redirect it at the soldier blasting him outside of the building then more guards started showing up shooting at him & on instinct he quickly moves arms in a figure eight motion & as the tips of his two index fingers on both of his hands connected he conquered up a translucent energy shield that inveterated every bullet that flew through his shield, he & all of the soldiers goes wide eyed at this spectacle they just witnessed then as he felt a charge buildup from each bullet that he incinerated he just reversed the figure eight & punches the shield forward into the soldiers stunning then all “Holy spirits, I WANNA DO THAT AGAIN!” Then more soldiers show up to get their asses handed to them, a guard is knocked off the catwalk & down to the ground landing on & knocking out a soldier who had Asmami at gunpoint & dead to rights then shocks a soldier’s rifle behind her causing the rifle to conduct electricity & blows up the gunpowder inside of it in the soldiers face uses the electrified rifle barrel as an improvised stun baton beating up every soldier she came across then sent a electrified stunned soldier towards Korra & she Airbended him in a concrete road block landing balls first into it cracking the area with his not so thick layered groin pad as he painfully stutters “W-wh-Why d-didn’t you just k-kill me?!..” as he falls to the ground unconscious.
Tenzin’s POV:
“Alright everyone is safely evacuated, we have to-“ *BOOM!* we see person shoots out the side of building into the side alleyway next to the building then Rohan just started charging off after them Pema Shouts in terror “NOO.. HUN, COME BACK!” “NO ROHAN, GET BACK HERE! I started chasing after him before he gets himself hurt..
Third POV:
Back inside the building the fighting intensifies & some of the soldiers started to panicking “Oh my Spirits, oh my spirits, oh my spirits! Oh sweet A RIFLE!”- “Hey uhh, I hate to say this but that’s my rifle.” “WHAT?! There’s literally hundreds of rifles on the floor, just pick up any rifle.” “But i bring that rifle with me everywhere I go, I sleep with that rifle in my arms every night!” “Dude, it doesn’t matter just pick up another rifle!”- *WHIP* “ARRGH!..” he shouted as he was water whipped into his friend who he was bickering with by Korra then she turned to the lonely soldier with only a small firearm & he drops it saying “Oh screw this I need to get a bigger weapon!” & turns to run while barely dodging the armada of waterbending attacks. As he turns the corner he runs into another soldier who just escaped from the rampaging Asami mowing down everyone else as he asks “What in spirits do we do?!” “I don’t know, I’ve never seen soo many powerful benders in one room before!-“ he looks at his comrades energy weapon & asks “Wait do you know how to use that thing?!” “My Energy Sword? F%CK yeah I know what it is, what’s wrong with just swish, swish, stab? It’s a energy sword dude it’s not a frickin SATO Fighter Plane!” “Just come on over & help me!”
Asami’s POV:
The soldiers were being completely beaten by all four of us a fireball nearly hit us to get our attention, we turned to the source & see a Fire bending soldier grab a small device from his belt then suddenly lightning bends to charg it up with electricity revealing it as an energy sword & shouted to us “HEY SWEET CHEEKS REMEMBER ME?! STEP AWAY FROM THE IDOT’S” As Korra goes to attack I stopped & sternly said “No Hun, he’s mine!” Which made Korra’s eyes widen as she cautiously stepped back to watch what’s about to unfold. Then the two of us circle each other then we started exchanging blows between his energy sword & my new stun baton then we started locking weapons then he tried taunting me “What’s this pussy baton sissy crap?! where’s your energy sword? Having trouble getting it up? Don’t worry it happens to everyone.” “Ugh, don’t you ever just SHUT UP!” I then frustratingly break the clash by kicking him straight up into his nuts “Ow! Son of a Bitch!..” then I headbut his face & spin kick him in the gut sending him back a few feet then he slips & falls backwards into pallet of barrels of black paint as he gets up he then realises he’s now covered in black paint “Ugh, what in spirits is this Black Stuff anyways?!” “Trust me, it’s an improvement.” I retorted he then gets real mad as he says “Alright that’s it, come here!” Then as they were about to charge at each other a massive metal crate container fell right between the two then they heard another not so bright soldier from the catwalk above shout “YES, I SAVED MY FRIEND! Oh wait, I saved my friend..” “Hey what gives you idiot?! I was meant to distract the SATO chick so Jeff Could kill the rest of the Benders take so we can take her hostage!” & we all turned around to see a soldier with some kind of shoulder mounted weapon frantically trying to load it up while shouting in a panic “YOU JUST RATTED ME OUT YOU SON OF A BITCH!” Then as he finally manages to fire it he shoots out a literal small Rocket Propelled Grenade at us! Which Mako then jumps in the air to quickly firebend the rocket flames to redirect & orbit the rock around him & right towards the soldier that just shot it in the span of a couple of seconds then as the rocket is about to hit the soldier he shouts “OH SPIRITS!”- then the rocket blows up the platform right below him, sending him flying into the air towards Team Avatar where Korra then metalbends her grapple around his legs he shouts “OH SPIRITS!” again & she swings him right towards Bolin who punches him towards the energy sword bending soldier with a Earthbending coated fist & as he smashes into the energy sword soldier couldn’t help himself from shouting “THAT WAS AWESOME!”- *SMASH!* “URGH!”
Soldiers POV:
We’re now closing in on the Avatar’s location & meddlesome band of friends then the catwalk above us comes tumbling down into the area in front of us creating a huge dust cloud. The dust clouds created from the collapsed catwalk rubble blurred all of our visions as we arrived we see a blurry black figure sluggishly trying to stand up then the figure turns towards us & says “Oh, it’s you guys..” we can’t tell if they’re friendly or not & at point we don’t care then max says “There’s the Avatar, get ‘em!” “We then hear them shouting “WHAT?!” our of pure confusion, then me & max start beating them up & we’re winning?! As they’re cowering & not trying to fight back & this person is trying to tell us something but it’s while as me & max are also shouting random stuff at them like “take that!, this isn’t as hard as I thought, yeah suck it blue eyed bitch!” We also heard some one from our team snickering & laughing at the spectacle in front of them. Then Jeff gets up & tells us “Hey, hold on a minute guy’s!” I back off but Max then gets this supposed Avatar into a headlock then starts repeatedly punching them top of their head as Jeff shouts at us stop “Max! Stop!” “Why?!” “I think that’s Alex not the AVATAR!” Then Alex managed to mumble out “See.., eye tol’ you guy’s same team!” Max then punches him one last time while confusingly looking at Jeff try to process what just happened which knocks him out of the headlock “Ow what was that for you idiot?!” “Eh sorry, force of habit!” Then Alex frustratingly shouted “WHAT THE F#CK JEFF?! You sit there & watch me get pounded by these two idots?!” “What? no! I was knocked out until after they started double teaming you!” “Wait than who’s snickering & laughing at me?!” Then a shadow figure next to me eyes lit up & I said “Oh son of a bit!”- *KICK!* “OW MY NUTS!” & a few other silhouette’s attacked us revealing themselves to be Team Avatar, knocking us out of the smoke cloud & against the wall & while the dust cloud was finally starting to clear up we all started to stand up & get our footing then Max says “Ugh She’s kicking our asses fellas, & yet I’ve never hit a girl at all in my life!” & I said “Yeah we noticed, You should try harder!” Then the smoke finally cleared up revealing Team Avatar & they started walking towards us “Oh no, here she comes again!..” I said in a panic & I frantically grabbed whatever i could find as a weapon which unfortunately for me was a Traffic Cone. “Screw it, desperate times call for desperate measures!..” then we charged into battle..
Tokuga’s POV:
“What’s your status?!” I asked the vault driller “We’re in!” “Good! Extract the Artifacts & prototypes, I’ll keep them busy & take them down a peg or two..” a shadowy figure said hidden behind the both of them in the catwalks then he sees the fly off as he sinisterly smirks.
Bolin’s POV:
The last soldier was on the ground defenceless screaming “PROTECT ME CONE!” As Korra kicked him the nuts soo hard that he went flying back several feet away into the wall knocking him out *KICK!* *SMASH!* “Damn that poor souls doesn’t even have anything left!” Mako comments “Yeah even I felt that one from here..” As we finish off the last of guards a shadow started looming over the entire room then a shadow man lands in front of us with a black hooded shadow leather, red lined costume & I confusingly asked “..& who are you supposed to be?!” & he just says with distorted reverby voice “I am..-“
Tumblr media
“PHANTOM BISON!”
& simply say “WHAT THE F%CK IS WITH THIS GUY?!” Then he suddenly shoots out two grapple ropes that seemingly created a whole bunch more of this mad man & as they started charging at us everything’s suddenly enveloped in endless darkness. We all cautiously stood up against each other back to back to avoid being separated then multiple Phantom Bison’s emerged from the darkness & swarmed us we tried fending them off as long as we could but soon enough they quickly started overwhelming us then as everything felt hopeless I get an idea & Lavabended a wave of lava then Earth bended myself a stone surfboard & rode the title wave of pure Magma Awesomeness & shouted “SURFS UP! Follow me everyone!” Then Mako shoot’s himself forward into the air using his firebending fists to basically fly while Korra air shooters herself along the wall with Asami holding onto her for dear life & suddenly the Phantom Bison’s glowing blue eyes widened as the tide was literally turning against him then he quickly grappled himself away & sharply turned around as his shadow duplicates were being engulfed by the lava tidal wave he then shouts “WHAT THE F%CKS WITH THIS GUY?!..” as he’s desbratly trying to escape the lava tidal wave. Then he suddenly gets a massive speed boost out of nowhere escaping the lava wave as wave finally dies down & losses it’s momentum which causes my stone surfboard to crumble apart I managed to leap off at the last possible second managed to stick the landing, everyone else quickly followed suit & all landed right next to me with their own badass posses. He retreats behind another wave soldiers who looked just as unprepared & incompetent as last group of soldiers, then he closes the blast doors behind them locking them out with us, one of them looks up & shouts up to the Catwalk while shouting “HEY ASSHOLE! REMEMBER WHEN WE SAID NOT TO HELP US?! FORGET THAT WE NEED HELP US! RIGHT NOW!” Then a metal shipping container drops from the crane above us then it seemingly squishes us since everything goes dark then we hear the soldiers prematurely celebrating shouting “MY SPIRITS, I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT WORKED!” Then a pair glowing eyes appear & suddenly everything lights up again revealing the Korra’s in the Avatar state to catch & lift the shipping container up revealing the massive crater that was caused by Korra’s sheer iron will to catch that container which caused the metal flooring to cave in under the pressure & when the soldiers saw that container moving up the soldier immediately says “OH CRAP, THAT DIDN’T WORK!” Then comment “I totally knew it wouldn’t work. I don’t know if you bad guys are aware but Avatar Korra’s a bit of a Badass!” Then once they see Korra climb up out of the Crater while still casually lifting a shipping container & stares down into the soldiers eyes staring into their souls the soldiers relent & say in a blind panic “ARE YOU F#CKING KIDDING ME?! RUUN!..” & as those poor soldiers desperately tried to escape their fates Korra throws the large shipping container directly at the soldiers & into the barricaded door completely destroying the blast door.
As the door blasts open Phantom Bison is waiting for us & immediately grapple whips at Korra which was a bad idea since in the Avatar State Korra instantly catches the grapple with her right hand & effortlessly yanks him towards herself to finish him off with her mean left hook to his face, as she’s moving her fist towards his face he does the same as he’s approaching Korra. Then as their fists make contact with each other’s faces there’s suddenly a blinding bright flash of light that comes out of nowhere.
Korra’s POV:
After a sudden blinding bright white light flashes in my face I’m suddenly seeing this horrible image of a seemingly war torn street completely completely engulfed in flames with an ember filled smog floating all around me obstructing my vision, I feel my body’s covered in dirt, soot which is burning into my open wounds, then as the ember smog finally clears I see the entire street floor covered in bodies, Men, Women, Children, Entire Families all dead. I then look down to my feet & see a dead Red Lotus Commander with his throat slit wide open gushing out blood down his lifeless body, I feel myself holding something in my left hand I looked at my hands & see their completely covered in blood with a bloodied Grapple blade resting in the palm of my hand. I then heard several Satomobile engines closing in the distance, I then started to panic, dropped the grapple blade onto the dead body below me & couldn’t think of anything else to do other than just make a run for it. Then as I started making a break for it my ankle gets snared by the same grapple blade I just dropped tripping me over to the ground with a loud earth shattering *THUD!* I rolled over onto my back & as I sit up I see Red Lotus Corpse rising up onto his feet then the grapple starts to pulling me towards the standing Red Lotus Corpse I started to frantically try to get the grapple rope off of my leg but all of my efforts were in vain as the grapple finished dragging me towards the corpse it turns towards me reveal a face I’ve never seen before but is still feels somewhat familiar with block void where his eyes should be. His soulless gaze sends waves of shivering dred as he says with the same demonic voice as Phantom Bison’s voice. “You did this to me!” He says as black smoke emanates from his bloodied clenched fists as he raises them up to show me then proceeded to say “YOU DID THIS TO ME! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOOOU! ABANDONED!.. ME!…” The void that filled his eyes streaks down his cheeks & as they reached the bottom of his chin the void spreads across & covers his entire face & in a flash of inverted brightness he turned into Phantom Bison his illuminated eyes creates a blinding *FLASH!* & suddenly for a brief second I see my child self laughing & smiling from another child’s perspective smiling then in a another *FLASH!* I wake up in a cold sweat.
I’m trying & failing to get back up onto my feet as I see everyone else seemingly to be knocked out cold then I see the Phantom Bison barely standing while he’s walking over towards me with Grapple Blades in hand as he says “Alright- Avatar ..You & you’re ‘Team Avatar’ friends have all had your fun.”- I then see his metal cable launcher’s so I tried to metalbend them to stop him but ‘nothing happens’ this makes me realise that it’s pure platinum & thought ‘I-i can’t stop him! Who’s this guy?!” as my eyes widen at this horrifying revelation Phantom Bison takes a deep breath then proceeds to say *Deep breaths* “But this parties over.” He says as he winds his arm back for one final swing I then think quickly as he’s attempting to finish me off. I quickly Earthbended up a small stone wall between us to block it at the last possible second then push my arms forward & pushed him back a few feet with the said stone wall..
Then Bolin wakes up & & starts hurling Lava throwing stars at him he’s able to send him back a moment longer before Phantom Bison takes a deep breath, Bolin throws his next Lava Throwing Star, then he seemingly catches & redirects it directly back towards Bolin?! He thankfully is able to block it with some earthbending but the collision creates a small explosion sending Bolin back into the wall knocking him out on impact I attempted to push him back with airbending then I’m suddenly forced onto the ground with a sudden giant gust of wind without being able to move I looked up to see what’s causing this only to see someone from the roof catwalks seemingly flying down towards us then as they got closer I realised who’s approaching & I shouted in a raspy voice in terror“N-No!.. It can’t be?!” & see that it’s none other than ZAHEER himself slowly descending towards the ground.
I heard a familiar voice that isn’t Zaheer to my right say “Hello there Avatar Korra, how’s your wonderful family?!” I turn to see who said that & it’s the man who started this attack Tokuga himself staring at me with his ugly mutatedly grotesque sinister grin & he turns to look at Zaheer & says “Took you long enough, how hard is it to shave off both a whole head of hair & a full beard?” “I don’t need to explain how important recon work is.” “Well then don’t keep us suspense, we got what we came for now is it finally clear to evaluate?” “Of course, now what are we going to do about her? Being the major threat that she is we can’t just let her go..” “If we take her hostage we won’t be able to hold her for long & if we take her lover she’ll tear our whole empire down.” “Then we take her smart mouth friend.” Phantom Bison said which prompted Tokuga to say “The Cop Man will be a problematic hostage to keep in line.” “I’m not talking about him.” Phantom Bison says as he & new friends are all giving me a knowing sinister smirk that sends shivers down my spine.
Tumblr media
As Tokuga snake arm grabs & picks up Unconscious Bolin I’m desperately trying to get up & trying to stop them while shouting “NO! S-STOP! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!” only for Zaheer to increase his power keeping me stuck to the ground completely unable to move. Then Phantom Bison walks up to me hits me with the handle of his grapple blade while remarking “Lights Out Avatar.” *WHACK!*
Tenzin’s POV:
As I finally catch up to Rohan I say “There you are Rohan, we have to get outta here!”- then I hear grunting noise from the rubble just ahead of us then I see massive hole in the side wall of the now burning Cabbage Corp building, as I look back at pile of rubble I see a Red Lotus Soldier sluggishly emerging from said rubble. Then he sees us then for the next few seconds we’re staring at each other like a Cheeta-Stag caught in headlights, then he makes the first move & starts to firebends several fireballs towards Rohan, I block them just in time & counter airbended him with small spheres of concentrated air towards him. He blocks a few of them with fireballs but the spheres he didn’t manage to block I made them orbit & continuously spinning around him turning into a dust devil. He tries to firebend but can’t conquer up any flames or even a single spark, then I smirk & make a snarky remark “Having performance issues?!” & I speed up the Dust Devil’s rotation drastically causing him to lose his ability to breathe then he starts flying upwards until he’s a few stories high in the air then I airbend a strong down draft slamming him straight down into the ground in hopes of knocking him out. As I hesitantly approached he shoots out a small bolt of lightning at me I try & failed to block it & I was hit square in the chest sending me back into the factory wall. Then he gets up while sinisterly remarking “Did you forgot old timer that Lightning ..always cuts through air!..” Then as starts to lightning bend a glass bottle hits & shatters into pieces as it impacts him in the back of his head causing him to miss his shot of lightning he tried to finish me off with.
He turns around & looks towards the direction it came from only to see a rolled up poo filled diaper ball get thrown square in the face. He instantly started vomiting the poor guy *EXESSESIVE VOMITING!* “UGH.. CRAP!” then once he regains his barings he sees the person who did it is none other than my son Rohan who’s now in stitches very loudly laughing at him, not wearing any pants & has just thrown his diaper at this Firebending psycho making him look embarrassed for a moment making me laugh a little. He then yells in aggression “YOU’RE A DEAD LITTLE RUNT!”- I then tried to stop him but he kicks in the stomach sending me back into the wall & he just started punching me in the face & kicking my stomach while I’m down & as he’s about stomp onto my face to finish me off I heard a heard Rohan scream “NOOOOOAAAR!..” *WHOOSH!..* the Sh#t Faced Red Lotus Soldier is flying straight through the pile of rubble further down the alley & crashing into a Satomobile truck full of Cabbages.
I got up & looked towards my son not caring that he’s half naked while saying with pride & shock “Rohan, ..You just AIRBENDED!” Rohan then shouts in excitement “YEAH! I BLOW WIND JUST LIKE DADA!..” he then goes ahead to blast small bursts of wind in all directions in celebration. I quickly muttered to myself “My Spirits, I’ve just created a monster.. A monster of enthusiasm.” *BOOOM!* I turned around to see the source of the blast only to see Tokuga with some hooded guy & my least favourite person “Zaheer?! No! It’s impossible! You’re supposed to be locked up!” “You should know by now Tenzin that Chains can’t hold me!”
We then hear a strong gust of wind behind us, I turn & see it’s the Fleet of Airbenders wingsuiting towards us with Ryu, Kai & my brother Bumi being amongst them while Opal is leading the charge. As she & the rest of the Airbenders land Bumi quickly hands me a pair of pants for Rohan since it’s not his first flashy rodeo while remarking “I couldn’t find any diapers. So here’s the next best thing..” I sigh & swiftly put them on him as Opal giggles as she tustles his hair then the rest of the Airbenders surround this cursed Sinnister Trio while she sternly shouts “We’ve got you all surrounded, just give up!”- then her facial expression suddenly turns from stern to panick as this hooded man brings out a knocked out Bolin over his shoulder from the burning Cabbage Corp Building then Opal absolutely losses it & charges after them with godly speeds while furiously shouting “AAARRRGH!..” Then Tokuga smugly remarks “So long Team Avatar!.. HEHEH!” Then a massive hurricane emerges down from the clouds above & surrounds them then vanishes & Opal just screams “No! NO! NO!.. BOLIN!…” Opal then starts to break down crying while hugging her stomach, Bumi then comforts her & tries to reassure her “Don’t worry chief, we’ll get him back..” then Kai asks “Hey, where’s Korra & the others?!”
A couple of hours later-
Korra’s POV:
As I started regaining consciousness I jerked up, sat up in a cold sweat gasping as I shouted “NO!” Asami then immediately hugged & calmed me down reassuring me “It’s okay Korra we’re safe now!” “Not everyone, they took him. They took Bolin..” we then see the Cabbage Corp building completely engulfed in flames as the CEO arrives in his Satomobile & rushes over to the front of the burning building then drops to his knees while screaming “NOOOOHOOHOHOOHOOO!.. MY CABBAGE CORP WAREHOUSE!..” then Mako walkover to us as Opal follows “That Phantom Bison is a dead man, if those thugs lay one hand on him!” “We’re getting him back Mako I promise.” “& I’m coming with!” Opal bluntly chimes in “What?” Mako says “I’m not asking..” She says with a ‘Don’t eff with me!’ look in her eyes..

The Myth of Y/N (Korra x Reader) Part 21
After months of waiting, the myth has returned.
Thank you all for your patience. I really appreciate it :)
I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECRUITING
Y/N'S POV
SLAM!
"I win...again."
Ugh.
I glance up at my opponent who just kicked my ass.
My best friend, Korra. She has a cocky grin on her smug face, teeth shining in the blinding sunlight. Her hands are crossed on her chest to further emphasise her arrogance.
Arrogance well deserved because she has kicked my butt so many times that I've lost count.
It's been a while since we made the brochures for the recruiting airbenders to join the reborn Air Nation. Since then, we've been travelling across the Earth Kingdom and visiting village to village, town to town, for said recruiting. So far, we've had no new members. The best we've had is some taking our brochures and promising they will think about it. It's better than nothing, I suppose. Still, it's disappointing.
We are currently on our way to yet another village. As of now, Korra is teaching me some airbending moves.
And, by "teaching", I mean kicking my ass.
"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up." I tell her with a sly smile. "You've defeated me again Sifu Korra."
Humming in acknowledgement, Korra lifts her chin up in superiority. "You still have much to learn, my student."
I snort. "Clearly."
Korra's smugness transitions to simple joy as she walks over to me and outstretches her palm to me. I grab her hand and she effortlessly pulls me upward to my feet.
All jokes aside, Korra is a good teacher when she wants to be. She has taught me some of the basics of the motions and techniques airbenders often use. She has also shown me some tricks she herself has used.
"Seriously, though, you did good." My best friend assures me. "Much better start than my training under Tenzin."
Heh. Yeah, her training had a...rocky...start. I can't believe how quick everything has gone.
"You can say that again." I speak. "Still, it is kind of humiliating landing on my butt for the millionth time."
Korra cocks her head to the side, smirking again. "So are you saying you don't want a rematch?"
"Now, I never said that." I reply, sending her a smirk of my own. "Let's go one more time."
With a nod, Korra walks a good distance away from me until we are at the opposite ends of the balcony. She then raises her arms with her palms stretched wide open in a fighting-ready pose.
"Ready?"
I get into a similar pose and take a deep, long breathe. Then, I let go.
"Let's do this."
Korra charges.
With our previous spars, I end up lunging forward as well and begin our spar. I have been acting too aggressive, something an Air Nomad shouldn't be unless necessary. However, my losses have been good lessons on how my best friend fights. Fighting side-by-side with her is a much different experience than actually fighting her. Korra is a bolt of lightning. She desires to end the fight as soon as possible with the deadliest attack. She is quick and relentless. Precise and deadly. I have been foolish to try and match her in that territory. If I am to defeat her, I need to be smarter and more patient.
And that is what I do. As Korra charges at me and produces an air cannon with a throwing punch, I dodge and twirl around her. I be like the leaf and move like the wind.
Korra isn't affected, though, and quickly twirls with a low air kick in an attempt to knock me to the grown.
But I know better.
With a backflip, I easily dodge the attack and as soon as I land on my feet I twirl and rapidly launch an air strike with my arm. Korra dodges with a roll and sends me another blast. Again, I dodge with a twirl.
The spar lasts like that for a while. A synchronised dance of twirls and strikes of wind, rolls, and flips, and more. I know if I try to attack Korra head-on I will lose. She has been trained in fighting her entire life. I may be skilled, but my friend is beyond me Maybe one day I can match her skill but for now I have to be very careful.
"You gonna start attacking, now?" Korra goads, trying to throw me off balance.
She can be so predictable sometimes.
I don't answer her question. I just simply smirk, silently telling her that this isn't going to be like the previous times.
Her eyes narrow slightly in concentration. We both slowly circle each other, trying to analyse and discover any flaws in our stances. I just need to wait for the right moment. Knowing Korra, she is going to get impatient and act irrationally eventually when a fight goes on for too long. She's going to try and do something risky and hope it will pull off.
And it seems like its going to happen at any moment.
Finally, after a moment that felt like an eternity, Korra makes her move. In a blink of an eye, she charges once more and she's ready to twirl and unleash a powerful storm of wind to send me flying to the edge of the balcony.
NOW!
As soon as she begins to twirl, I rush forward with all my might and as she finishes the twirl and unleashes her attack, I drop to my knees and bend backwards and slide right underneath her attack and get right up and close to her. Just before Korra can even register what is happening, I do a quick twirl of my own from below and produce enough wind to knock her balance and causing her to fall to the floor and to ensure she doesn't get back up I straddle her with my knees and pin both her hands to the wooden floor.
"I win." I tell her with a cocky grin, though my smugness is tainted with panting that betrays my tiredness.
Korra is just as bad. Her eyes are absolutely wide, threatening to pop out of her sockets, and is panting just as hard too. Sweat is on her face.
"So, I see." She tells me, sounding breathless.
I then realise that her face and I are inches apart. We are so close that I can feel her fiery breath on my face, engulfing my cheeks into flushed flames. I've never been so up close to her like this before.
"Uh, guys?"
SHIT!
Snapping out from my trance I lunge backward to give Korra some space, all the while standing up and turning to the source of the voice.
It's an eyes wide Mako.
Fuck.
"Yes, Mako?" I ask him, trying to sound nonchalant. I'm failing miserably.
The firebender blinks a few times but then snaps out of his little trance. "We've just arrived at the village."
Oh, really? Sweet!
"Awesome!" Korra exclaims excitedly. She seems to be unfazed by what just happened.
Wait? Did anything really happen? I mean, we were just sparring.
But we DID get really close.
Well, duh, we were sparring. It was bound to happen.
Ugh, think about all of this later. Focus on the task.
"Y/N, you okay?" Korra asks me, noticing that I have been very quiet. Shit, I was too focused in my thoughts to pay attention on what was going on.
"Yeah." I assure her, giving her a smile. "Sorry, just zoned out. Let's find this airbender."
I walk past the two and at the corner of my eye I notice Mako giving me a look. I'm not sure what kind of look he is giving me, but it is making me feel uneasy.
When I reach to the exit of the airship, I see Tenzin waiting by the door. He clearly looks slightly anxious after recruiting no new members. I see him holding the brochure in his right hand.
"Hey, Tenzin." I speak up, getting close to him. "You all right?"
The airbending master jumps slightly at the sound of the voice and turns to me, smoothing out his robes in an attempt to disguise his worry. "Yes, Y/N. I'm fine. Just getting ready."
I breathe tightly through my nose. He may be an Air Nomad but he can be as stubborn as an earthbender sometimes.
"Tenzin." I start, my voice calm and soft. "How about I try this one?"
My suggestion clearly wasn't what he expected as his eyes go wide in surprise. "What?"
I take a step closer. "I know how much this means to you. Really, I do. I know you want this to succeed. But what we're doing so far isn't working. They probably find you intimidating. How about I try? I'm sure meeting a fellow airbender, not an Air Nomad, might make them warm up to me more."
My mentor strokes his beard during my explanation. He seems to be reluctant to agree. "I don't know..."
"Please, Tenzin." I plead. "It's worth a shot."
"I agree." Korra announces as she walks to my side. "I trust Y/N. Do you?"
Tenzin nods. "Of course, I do."
"Then trust them to do this." My best friend tells him, a reassuring smile on her face.
We stand in silence for a few seconds, my friend and I gazing at the airbending master who has his eyes towards the floor. Eventually, he focuses his attention on me.
"Very well." He relents, giving me a small smile. He passes me the brochure and I take it with joy. "The airbender has been reported to live near the centre of the village."
"Thank you, Tenzin." I thank him, displaying my gratitude. "You won't regret this!"
After giving Korra a nod as a silent form of praise for the help, I walk down the metal ramp that leads me to the entrance of the village.
The settlement is nothing much. Just a collection of homes surrounded by a green field. It's much different than my village back at the Southern Water Tri-
-No. Don't think about them right now.
Shaking the intrusive thought away, I begin my search. I avoid the curious glances from the villagers and listen to the details Tenzin gave me. Reaching to the centre, I glance at the various buildings in my vision.
Now what?
Well...I guess I have to be one of those annoying salesmen and knock on doors. Great.
And I do just that, knocking door to door, asking if the one who answered if they or their relatives have recently been gifted with airbending. Most of them give me a flat out "No" and slam the door in my face. Very kind people.
Now, I'm at the very last house. This has got to be the one.
Taking a deep breathe and letting it out in a smooth action, I raise my right hand and knock on the door gently three times.
Please let this be the one. Please.
After a few seconds, the door quickly opens, and I am greeted by the sight of a middle-aged woman. Her eyes are a dim emerald, have light wrinkles on her forehead, and has slightly greying black hair that reaches just below her shoulders.
"Can I help you?" she asks me in a disinterest tone. Her voice is deep and formal.
"Hello!" I greet her, ignoring her detached tone, and put on a wide grin. "I am affiliated with Master Tenzin, son of Avatar Aang, and the new Air Nation. We have gotten reports of an airbender located in this very village. Do you know this individual?"
I notice that when I bring up the Air Nation, I see her left eye twitch for a split second. This must be the house.
Despite my kindness, however, it seems the woman doesn't like what I'm saying. "I do not. Have a good day."
She begins to close the door and crush my hopes once more but then I hear the sounds of footsteps behind the woman.
"Mother?" a young feminine voice speaks out. "Who is it?"
The older woman reluctantly opens the door wide and steps to the side and a new person enters the picture.
She's far younger than her mother, most likely around my age, and has emerald eyes far brighter than the other. She has a small, but jolly, smile on her lips. Her jet-black hair stretches down to her waist, and she wears simple green Earth Kingdom clothing.
"Hello there." I greet to her. "I am affiliated with the Air Nation. We've heard that an airbender has been sighted around here. Do you know this person?"
Her eyes lit up in recognition and excitement. "Yeah, that's me!"
Yes!
I grin. "Awesome! I, too, am an airbender. We are looking for new recruits to join the new Air Nation. We were wondering if you would want to join us."
To my delight and relief, the woman grins to my offer. "I would love to!"
"Eshah!" her mother quietly scolded her. "We've talked about this."
"Come on, mother!" the younger female, Eshah, exclaims. "I'm eighteen!"
"That doesn't matter!" she whispers angrily. "I will not let my only child run away to become some monk!"
I frown slightly at the woman's words. This situation is all too familiar.
"You were born in the Southern Water Tribe, you grew up in the Southern Water Tribe, and had practiced Southern Water Tribe traditions. And now you are abandoning your culture for another!"
No. Not again.
"With all due respect, ma'am." I begin cautiously, trying to stay calm and patient. "Your daughter is an adult. She can make her own decisions."
A rageful glare is the mother's response to my words. "You stay out of this! I will not let you indoctrinate my daughter!"
Indoctrinate?!
"Ma'am, we are not a cult." I tell her with a neutral expression. "We just want to rebuild the Air Nation after its near extinction. This can be a real positive force for the world!"
"You can rebuild your culture all you want!" she exclaims. "But not with my daughter involved!"
I clench my right fist tightly as an attempt to restrain myself.
"You are trying to abandon your tribe, and your mother and I will not tolerate such a betrayal."
Stay calm, Y/N. Stay calm.
"They're right, mother!" Eshah snaps back. "I'm an adult! This is my life! I want to join them and help the world!"
"Why are you so interested in these nomads?!"
"You would know if you actually bothered to care!"
"Don't you dare!"
I can feel the tension between the two women. It's clear they've had history.
"I will dare! You've never really known me at all!"
"I know that I'm doing what is best for you!"
"Bullshit! When have you ever cared what's best for me!"
Okay, I really should try to calm them down. I glance at the mother. "Ma'am, I don't want to cause problems in your family. However, if your daughter wishes to join us then-
My words are interrupted with the slamming of the door right in my face. I can hear the arguing continue from the inside, but their words are muffled.
Great. Just great.
I unclench my right fist and sigh heavily and slowly, releasing the tension that was slowly building within me during my short exchange with that woman. Then, I begin walking back to the airship.
The way Eshah looked so excited. The way her mother refused her to join the Air Nation. It reminded me so much of my parents...
I guess I'm not the only one dealing with parent issues.
"WAIT!"
Huh?
I turn back around, and I see Eshah rushing and stopping before me. She is panting slightly from running but she has determination painted across her features.
"I'm coming with you."
What?!
"Wait, really?" I ask, completely shocked. "But your mother..."
"I don't care." She simply states. "We were never close anyway. When I got airbending, I was so excited. And what you said about making my own decisions and rebuilding the Air Nation gave me the courage to simply walk out."
Really? Our short exchange left that much of an impact on her? She left her mother just like that? Without hesitation? All because of my few words?
"Well, uh, good!" I respond, stretching my hand out. "Welcome aboard. I'm Y/N."
She gladly takes my hand. "Eshah."
During our walk back to the airship, I hand her the brochure and explain the life of an Air Nomad while she reads through it. She seems to be very engaged in the topic as she nods and hums in encouragement and even asked me a few questions. When we finally reach to our destination, Tenzin and Korra are waiting by the entrance. When they see me and our newest member, I can see bright smiles form on their lips, eyes lit with excitement.
"Eshah." I begin when we finally reach them. "This is Master Tenzin, leader of the Air Nation, and Avatar Korra."
"Welcome, Eshah." Tenzin greets her, excitement underlying his formal tone. "It is an honour to meet you."
"It is great to have you." Korra adds on, equally excited.
Before they can say anything else, however, I hear a loud gasp to the side of me and in a blink of an eye I see Eshah up and close shaking hands with Tenzin and Korra very quickly. In the midst of it, I hear excited squeals and statements.
"Oh my god, you are the Avatar! I'm a huge fan!"
"You're the son of Avatar Aang, right? So cool!"
"I always wanted to meet you two!"
"Am I dreaming? I've got to be dreaming!"
I was not expecting that. Clearly, Korra and Tenzin weren't expecting this display of excitement either as their eyes are wide open.
When Eshah finally calms down she stands back slightly and begins rubbing the back of her neck, clearly shy at what she just did. "Oh, uh, sorry. I can get carried away sometimes."
"Well, we're glad you're eager." Korra tells her, chuckling while she does so.
"Indeed." Tenzin agrees. He then gestures to the airship. "Let's welcome you aboard."
"Okay!" Eshah replies. Just before they start walking, the airbending master sends me a gratitude look and nod as a silent "Thank you." Then, they begin advancing towards the ship.
I begin walking as well but abruptly I am pulled into a tight and fierce hug by Korra.
"Thank you." She tells me, sounding so relieved. "You've helped us so much with all of this."
I reciprocate the affection. "Of course. You know how much this means to you and Tenzin. Plus, helping rebuild the Air Nation is the right thing to do."
She pulls back from the hug and gives me a smile. I smile back. The atmosphere is nothing but full of warmth and safety.
"Korra, Y/N." Tenzin's voice emits from the entrance. And, like that, the moment is over.
As we walk back into the airship I see Tenzin and Eshah standing by the rest of the group, the latter full of excited faces.
"Everyone, this is Eshah." Tenzin introduces to them. "She is going to be joining the Air Nation."
"Hello!" the young woman greets with a little wave. "It's nice to meet you all."
I can hear the tsunami of introductions and greets from the crowd. They all sound so relieved that we finally had some success.
I observe the scene playing out with a small, but strained, smile. I am happy. Really, I am. But that whole situation with Eshah and her mother has really shaken me.
She so easily left her mother. She just up and left without a second thought. She pursued her dreams which has probably ruined her relationship with her parent.
As I observe the young woman, all I can hear is the angry declaration of my father.
"The next time we talk, you better tell us you are not joining the Air Nation. If not, don't contact or visit us ever again."
Eshah left her old life behind so easily with such confidence.
Could I do the same?

And that's it!
I hope you all enjoyed it!
Once again, thank you all so much for your patience.
Feedback is appreciated!
See you all in the next chapter :)

So I have an OC that is a foggy swamp tribe waterbender who lives and works in Republic City as the Fire Chief and is a love interest for Lin. I thought of this dialogue and cackled.
Shu (The Fire Chief): Will you marry me? Lin *tearing up*: 10-4
