What SHOULD Have Happened In TLOK Chapter 3: Book 1:Ep5-6, a legend of korra fanfic

What SHOULD Have Happened In The Legend Of Korra Book 1

Here's another installment yall. This time I will really try to keep up a regular update schedule. With also a side note, in the first scene of the last installment came from the "Republic City Hustle" short clips which show Bolin and Mako's pre-probending days when they were with the Triple Threats still. Also I hope you are all being safe during this outbreak as I took leave from my warehouse job due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I own nothing, all rights go to Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Nickelodeon and Viacom. Now on with the show!

Korra was on top of a ladder filling a cage with various fruits with Jinora is holding the ladder steady. Three flying lemurs climb down from above to eat the food as Korra climbed down.

"So, how's it going with the tall, dreamy firebender boy? You've been spending a lot of time together lately." Jinora asked teasingly.

"Oooh, yeah! Tell us all about the magical romance." Ikki chimed in.

"What? Listen to you two. I'm not interested in Mako or any romantic stuff. Besides, he's all into that prissy, beautiful elegant rich girl...But let's just pretend for a second that I am interested in him, what would I do?"

Jinora brightened up at the question. "I just read a historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general son who's supposed to marry the princess. You should do what she did."

Korra got excited. "Tell me!"

"She rode a dragon into battle and burned down the entire country. Then she jumped into a volcano. It was so romantic." Jinora said, hands clasped together and smiling wistfully.

Korra stood there, perplexed."Uhhh.."

"No, no, no!" Ikki protested. "The best way to win a boy's heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets that makes true lovers sprout wings and fly to a magical castle in the sky where they get married and eat clouds with spoons and use stars as ice cubes in their moonlight punch, forever and ever and ever!" The young girl finished with a quick spin in the air, slowly floating back down.

"The volcano is starting to make more sense to me now." Korra heard laughing behind her and they turned to see Pema standing in the path.

"Oh, hey Pema... Uh, how long where you standing there?"

Pema chuckled. "Long enough. But trust me, I know what you're going through. Years ago I was in the exact same situation with Tenzin."

Ikki gasped in surprise, Daddy was in love with someone else before you?

"That's right." Pema said, winking.

"So what did you do?" Korra asked.

"Well, for the longest time I did nothing. I was so shy and scared of rejection, but watching my soul mate spend his life with the wrong woman became too painful. So I hung my chin out there and I confessed my love to Tenzin. And the rest is history."

The Ikki and Korra reacted with joy at hearing this, but Jinora had a puzzled look on her face. "So wait, you actually-oh no."

Pema looked confused. "What is it?"

"You said that Dad had already been in a relationship before he met you, right?" Pema nodded. "And you say for a long time you stayed away because you were afraid he wouldn't return your feelings, right?"

"Yes. I don't know what you're getting at-"

Jinora pinched her nose. "Mom, think about it. He already was in a relationship with someone, in other words he was already "getting into someone's zone". And the reason you stayed back for as long as you did was because of your own fears and concerns? It wasn't because of the fact that it is kinda a shitty thing to try to break up people who are romantically involved?"

Pema glared at her eldest child. "Watch it young lady! I'll have you know your father and Lin were already having problems before I-."

Jinora continued on. "No wonder Beifong always has a stick up her butt! You straight up jacked her man from her! Andif they were already having issues, that just makes it worse because if they were having problems it doesn't automatically mean they are gonna break up, at least permanently. Conflict is present in even the best relationships but alot of times they can just be ruts people are going through. But you crowbarring yourself between them during a tough time in their relationship, was a pretty shitty thing to do.

Pema stood there, still glaring and then began to stomp away before turning back and screaming ''For the record, you wouldn't be here otherwise, you little b%$# !''

Here's another way this particular part could have gone;)

Korra was on top of a ladder filling a cage with various fruits. Jinora is holding the ladder steady. Three flying lemurs climb down from above to eat the food as Korra climbed down.

"So, how's it going with the tall, dreamy firebender boy? You've been spending a lot of time together lately." Jinora asked teasingly.

"Oooh, yeah! Tell us all about the magical romance." Ikki chimed in.

Jinora brightened up at the question. "I just read a historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general son who's supposed to marry the princess. You should do what she did."

Korra got excited. "Tell me!"

"She rode a dragon into battle and burned down the entire country. Then she jumped into a volcano. It was so romantic." Jinora said, hands clasped together and smiling wistfully.

Korra stood there, perplexed."Uhhh.."

Korra stood there, not heeding much mind to Ikki's sugar-coated fantasy and still gaping at the eldest airbender child. Jinora raised an eyebrow at this. ''What?''

''Well, I mean, it's a bit concerning that you're only 10 years old, and you find what that character did to be romantic. I mean, the whole burning down a country bit is bad enough considering that's what Fire Lord Ozai himself tried to do decades before to the Earth Kingdom. But then there's the whole committing suicide by jumping into a volcano. Do your parents know about this?''

Jinora's eyes shifted left and right. ''My parents don't know alot of things...

Bolin and Korra were in a Water Tribe-based restaurant, both slurping on a bowl of green sea noodles. ''So, how do ya like it?'' Bolin asked with his mouth full.

''Mmm. It's delicious! And totally authentic. Man, I didn't realize how much I missed Watertribe grub.''

''That's great, 'cause this is my favorite joint. See? You love Watertribe food, I love Watertribe food. Just another reason we are so great together.''

Korra slurps up more noodles. ''They are good noodles.'' She then looks behind Bolin to see a group sitting farther back in the restaurant, one with flamboyant-looking dark hair, his gaze on her. ''Hey, who's that creepy guy over there that keeps glaring at us?''

''That's Tahno and the Wolfbats. The reigning champs three years running. Don't make eye contact.'' Korra ignored the advice, looking up at Tahno and glares at smirked as one girl whispered something to him. He stands up and the girls giggle, then signals his group to follow him to Korra and Bolin's table. ''Uh-oh, here he comes. Now don't mess with this guy. He's a nasty dude.'' Bolin looks back to see Tahno approaching. He gasps and tries to calmly eat his noodles. Tahno walked up to Korra.

''Well, well, well, if it isn't the Fire Ferrets, probending's saddest excuse for a team. Tell me, how do a couple of armatures like you luck your way into the tournament? Especially you, Uh-vuatar.''

Korra huffed in annoyance and Tahno leaned in very close to her). ''You know, if you'd like to learn how a real pro bends, I could give you some private lessons.''

Korra stood up to him, glaring. ''You want to go toe to toe with me, pretty boy?

''Go for it. I'll give you the first shot.''

''Korra, don't. He's just trying to bait you. You hit him, we're out of the tournament.'' Bolin whispered seriously.

Korra and Tahno both stared each other down for a few seconds, before she brought her hand to her mouth and whistled, blowing Tahno's bangs and making him flinch. Naga's head then bursts the shutters open and she roars. Tahno stumbles back, he and his group frightened. One of his teammates holds him steady while he composes himself and fixes his hair. He raises his hands up and smirks before turning and leaving with his group. Korra and Bolin then begin laughing.

''I've never seen someone harass Tahno like that. You are one of a kind Korra.'' Bolin said. He then heard someone clear their throat behind them. The two turned to see the owner of the restaurant standing there with crossed arms and a displeased look on his face ''Bolin, I'm afraid you and your friend are gonna have to leave.''

The two looked at each other, then back at Narook. ''Why?'' Korra asked.

Narook's eye's widened before he threw his arms outward. ''Why? Because you just caused a disturbance in my business by threatening someone with what's essentially a tamed wild animal! You really thought I was just gonna stand in the background and not do anything about that? Now, get lost!''

Mako sits on the steps outside of the pro-bending arena. Korra approaches the entrance and Mako stands up, hands in his pockets. ''What kind of game are you playing?''

''Uh, probending. We've got a quarter-final match.''

''No, I mean with Bolin. You got him all in a tizzy and I know you're only using him to get back at me.'' Mako said, his expression serious.

''I am not. We're just having fun together. What do you care anyway?'' Korra said, pointing at him.

''I'm looking out for my little brother. I don't want to see his heart get broken.''

''Wait a second. You're not worried about him, you're jealous. You do have feelings for me.''

Mako pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. ''Ok, let's backtrack a bit. The other night, after we won that match against the Rabaroos. We went into the locker room, you built up to finally revealing your feelings for me, and I gently turned you down. Then Asami came in and not long after that Bolin. You following me?''

Korra scoffed, ''Yeah I didn't lose my memory. What's your point?''

''My point is you had just spilled your guts about how you felt you and I were meant to be together, and then barely a minute after I told you I didn't feel the same way, Bolin comes in and blows your ego up with all sorts of praise, and then you're ready to jump on his d*&% when you were just convinced you were in love with me? So yeah I am worried about my brother, and why would I have feelings for someone who can be so damn sleazy?!''

Korra's pointed finger drooped and she looked down, pondering a retort. ''Well-well when you're with her you're thinking of me!''

Mako rolled his eyes, ''Korra, please get over stop trying to score with my brother and focus on scoring this match.'' he said, heading back into the stadium.

Here's Episode 6 yall;)

Korra, Mako and Bolin quickly barged through the doors of City Hall. Inside all the council members sitting at the table inside. Upon seeing them Tenzin quickly stood up. ''Korra, you shouldn't be here. This is a closed meeting.''

Korra walked forward, undeterred. ''As the Avatar and a probending player, I have a right to be heard. You can't cancel the finals.''

''I know winning the championship means a lot to you but as far as I'm concerned, we need to shut the arena down.''

''What about the rest of you? Tarrlok, there's no way you're backing down from Amon, right?''

Tarrlok stood up, exchanging glances with the airbending councilman. ''Actually, Tenzin and I agree for once.''

''The council is unanimous. We're closing the arena.''

Mako and Bolin cried out in protest. ''I... I don't understand.'' Korra continued. ''I thought you of all people, would take a stand against Amon.''

''While I am still committed to bringing that lunatic to justice, I will not put innocent lives at stake just so you and your friends can play...a game.'' Tarrlok said condescendingly.

Mako stepped forward and raised his finger to the waterbender. '' Probending might only be a game to you, but think of what it means to the city. Right now the arena is the one place where benders and non-benders gather together in... in peace. To watch benders-''

''Beat each other up! In peace! It's an inspiration to everyone!'' Bolin said enthusiastically.

''I appreciate your naive idealism, but you're ignoring the reality of the situation.''

''The reality is, if you close the arena, you let Amon win.'' Korra said.

''Yes! Exactly what she said. Yes.'' Bolin chimed in.

''I'm sorry but our decision has been made. This meeting is adjourned.'' Tarrlok picks up his gavel to strike it down. Just then a metal cable shoots forward and smasches the gavel into pieces before Tarrlok can bring it down. Everyone looks to the entrance to see Cheif Beifong standing there, the cable retracting into her arm with a sharp winding sound and spark.

''I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with the Avatar.''

''You do?'' Tarrlok said.

''Yeah... you do?'' Korra repeated, equally confused.

''I expected this kind of cut and run response from Tenzin, but the rest of you? Come on, show a little more backbone. It's time that the benders of this city displayed some strength and unity against these Equalists.''

''We must prevent the conflict between benders and non-benders from escalating into all out war! The council is not changing its position.'' Tenzin countered.

''Now, just a moment, Tenzin. Let us hear what our esteemed Chief of Police has in mind.'' Tarlokk said. Tenzin huffs, crossing his arms and turning away angrily.

''If you keep the arena open, my metalbenders and I will provide extra security during the championship match. There's no better force to deal with the chi blockers. Our armor is impervious to their attacks.''

Tenzin thought for a second, and then spoke up. ''Well even with that, I'm afraid you are still very vulnerable.''

Lin looked at her former lover with a scowl. ''Just what are you getting at?''

''Well, when Korra had come back from saving her friends from Amon's rally, she told me not just about his ability to take away someone's bending. She told me how those two had been incapacitated by an Equalist using electrified batons. And I think we all understand the basic scientific fact that metal,aka what your armor is made of, is an excellent conductor of such.''

Lin huffed, ''According to the Avatar's statement, he was the only one at the scene to have any such device.''

Tarrlok facepalmed. ''Lin, come on. As a police officer, neigh the chief, you should know better. Amon clearly is stepping up on taking more aggressive action considering his new power, the chi blocking camps I've personally raided and this recent blackmail. It would seem well within the reach and means of the Equalist to mass manufacture similar devices and train their forces in the use of them. Just one of them could take out two young professional probenders at once wearing regular clothes, and was only stopped by a cheapshot by the Avatar.''

The other council members began to murmur, before then nodding their heads to the two rivals. ''Then our decision remains unchanged, the arena remains closed.'' The Fire Ferrets slumped over in defeat, and Lin cursed under her breath storming out.

Here's another way that scene could have gone, y'all.

Korra walked forward, undeterred. ''As the Avatar and a probending player, I have a right to be heard. You can't cancel the finals.''

''I know winning the championship means a lot to you but as far as I'm concerned, we need to shut the arena down.''

''What about the rest of you? Tarrlok, there's no way you're backing down from Amon, right?''

Tarrlok stood up, exchanging glances with the airbending councilman. ''Actually, Tenzin and I agree for once.''

''The council is unanimous. We're closing the arena.''

Mako and Bolin cried out in protest. ''I... I don't understand.'' Korra continued. ''I thought you of all people, would take a stand against Amon.''

''While I am still committed to bringing that lunatic to justice, I will not put innocent lives at stake just so you and your friends can play...a game.'' Tarrlok said condescendingly.

''Beat each other up! In peace! It's an inspiration to everyone!'' Bolin said enthusiastically.

''I appreciate your naive idealism, but you're ignoring the reality of the situation.''

''The reality is, if you close the arena, you let Amon win.'' Korra said.

''Yes! Exactly what she said. Yes.'' Bolin chimed in.

''I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with the Avatar.''

Tarrlok rubbed his hand before glaring at the chief. ''Excuse me, but you do realize you could have potentially sliced my hand off or given me a f*&^ton of splinters?! A simple announcement of your presence would have sufficed.''

Lin blinked a couple of times before shrugging and replying. ''Well, I like to make an entrance.''

In a secret Equalist facility, several trucks are being loaded with crates, Amon looking down from a balcony. The Lieutenant then approached him from behind. ''We just got word. The council defied your threat. They're keeping the arena open.''

''Perfect. Everything is going according to plan.''

''Although…''

Amon turned to his second in command. ''Although what?''

''Well I know we have all of these new shock gloves that Sato made for us, and I get their use for this mission. They're easily concealable and pack a punch. These prods I have, why aren't these standard issue among our troops?''

The Lieutenant could tell Amon wore a puzzled expression beneath the mask. '' I mean, maybe whoever is behind the happenings of our world has somehow made it fate that I'm the only one to possess this specific weapon as if to note me as someone of importance or status within our organization.

''Your point?''

''My point, is that I was easily able to incapacitate the Avatar's friends who were both notable bending athletes and would have captured them if not for her hitting me with that cheap shot.'' At this, he rubbed the right part of his lower ribcage. ''But anyway, considering acrobatics and hand-to-hand abilities are already instilled in our troops, it would really be a shame to not equip our troops with this going forward, especially since it provides more reach and various angles of attack, which would be very advantageous fighting a bender.''

Amon put his hand to his chin for a moment. ''I really don't see how I didn't consider this especially if I am planning an all-out war. After this operation, let that be one of the first things you teach the next batch of recruits. You serve me well, Lieutenant.'' Amon said, placing his knuckles against his cheek. The Lieutenant grasped his fingers and nodded before walking off.

At the pro-bending arena, several police boats patrol the surrounding bay, and a few zeppelins fly over the arena. Inside of the arena the police search the stands with flashlights. One metalbender cop nods and gives a signal. ''All clear, Chief.''

Lin stands at the top of the stairs overseeing the sweep. Tenzin approaches from behind. ''How is the security sweep going?''

''Fine.''

''They've checked underneath the stands?''

''Yes.''

''And you have enough officers to cover all points of entry, and are your metalbenders instructed to sense any weapons or devices that may include metallic components in them? Korra did say one of the Equalist she and her friends fou-''

''I have the skies, the bay and every nook and cranny of this place covered and I'm prepared for any possible countermeasure. Now leave me alone and let me do my job.''

And that's it for this installment yall. I got this out a bit later than I wanted but I was going through a mental health tuff over some past personal stuff, but I'm doing better now. I'm really liking doing this series so far, and give thanks to daveshan, author of the original WSHH in Avatar series, for being a good consultant. Until next time, peace!
