I do not own Star Wars The Clone Wars or Legend of Korra.

After the briefing, Korra stared out the window. The blue streaks of hyperspace were helping to take her mind off of things. She was going to war. She had fought many times before, but this time she didn't have her team. She didn't know the enemy, or what they were capable of. Or what they were willing to do to reach their goal.

"You alright?" Korra looked over as Cody stood beside her. "You look kind of lost."

Korra chuckled a bit. "You have no idea." She said mostly to herself. "I guess, I'm a bit scared."

Cody looked beside him. From the few interactions he had had with Korra, he had thought of her as a confident and capable person, but he understood her meaning. Everyone was scared of something. "Of what?"

"Failing." Korra admitted truthfully. It was comforting to her how truthful she could be around everyone. No one had any expectations of her. No one knew what she was capable of or what she should be capable of. "Ever since I started being the Avatar all I've done is mess up. I've gotten myself and my friend almost killed on more than one occasion. I've messed up so many times and made things worse more times than I care to admit. What if I'm not meant to be helping people?"

"You want to. That's good enough isn't it?" Cody looked around at his brothers working on officer duty. He was sure a few of them resented having to work a few rotations out of armor. "And your alive now. I bet your friends are as well. To me...it sounds like you didn't mess up too badly."

"But I did." Korra looked down at her hand. She remembered what it felt like to try and bend after Amon had taken that away from her. "On my own I'm nothing but a screw up. And...I've never really been good on a team."

Cody placed a hand on Korra's shoulder. "I think you'll find this team is a bit different than other teams you've been on. We're all brothers here and we don't leave a brother behind."

"We're coming out of hyperspace." One of the officers announced. Korra watched as the blue streaks vanished and a planet rapidly enlarged as they approached it. Nearby was also some wrecked ships and one republic cruiser that was heavily damaged.

"Ahsoka, this is Obi-wan. May we begin our landing?" Obi-wan asked as he observed the battle scene in front of them.

"Yes Master. You're clear for ground assault." The reply came in from their allied forces.

Obi-wan shared a look with Master Windu. "I'm not even going to ask where the rest of Anakin's fleet is. Or why he's in an escape pod."

"That's probably for the best." The sheepish reply came back.

They began their approach of the planet. "Let's get to the hanger." Cody spoke as the jedi led the way towards the gunships. They would need to secure a landing zone before the cruisers could land.

Korra followed Cody as they made their way towards the hanger. Korra pulled her jacket off and tied it around her waist. Judging by the look of the planet, she would be more comfortable in her tank top. She double checked how well attached her communicator was on her cuff. Hopefully it wouldn't get damaged.

"Would you like some armor?" Cody asked. He had thought she would have some sort of protection under her large jacket, but she had nothing. He wondered how she had not been cold the lest time he saw her. Especially if all she had under her jacket was a tank top.

Korra shook her head. "Nah. It'll just slow me down. I need a large range of motion to be able to bend properly." She recalled her old training armor and how little it actually protected. "The condensed style can work with armor, but I'm more used to having none."

They got onto a gunship and waited as Obi-wan finished speaking with Master Windu. "If you take the city of Nebat we'll have our landing zone."

Obi-wan nodded as he got onto the gunship with his commander. "Then it's time to meet the locals." He replied as the doors closed and they flew out of the hanger.

Korra looked out between the slots in the door as they flew above the planet surface. She could see a lot of rocks and dirt with very little trees or plant life. "Is all of Ryloth like this?"

"There are forest, but they're not widespread." One of the clones that had his helmet off spoke up.

Korra gave Waxer a nod. She recognized the two from before. Plus she had overheard their names. "Guess I won't be using water bending too much. Earth bending would probably be best. Keep the fires to a minimum."

"Earth bending?" Boil asked while giving the girl a confused look.

"Yep. It means I can moves rocks and dirt. Sand as well, but that's a bit trickier." Korra explained. "Oh, metal bending too." She added remembering her newest bending ability. "There's also lava bending, but I can't do that. At least I don't think I can. Honestly I've never tried." Korra had never thought to try lava bending. Or asking Bolin how he did it.

"Do try to keep damage to a minimum, Korra." Korra looked up as Obi-wan spoke. "We are here to aid the Twileks, not destroy their homes." Obi-wan looked around at the men in the gunship with him.

Cody stepped forward, taking the pause as his cue. "That means we'll be taking it back the hard way. Minimal destruction with blasters and droid poppers only. No rockets or detonators." He looked around, getting a nod from his men. "Check your aim and be mindful of the locals. Understood?"

"Yes Sir!" The men chimed around Korra as the ship gave a bit of a jerk. She supposed they were within range of whatever long range weapons the enemy had.

After a moment or two they got a call from General Windu on the cruisers. "We can't risk landing the larger transports until you take out those guns."

"Pull back." Obi-wan told his fellow general. "We'll handle the guns." The transmission with General Windu ended and Obi-wan looked to his troops. "Who's up for a challenge? We're not getting any reinforcements until those guns are out of commission."

Korra smirks and cracked her knuckles. "Bring it on." The doors to the gunship slid open as they prepared to drop off the troops. Korra couldn't help wishing she had her glider to be able to fly through the air on her own, but she doubted she could keep up with the gunship.

Once the ships touched down the clones rushed into the forest and scattered among the trees. Korra followed behind them, keeping close to the group. As a broken wall came into view, droids began shooting at them. Korra ducked behind a rock as the shots came close to her position.

"That bunker is going to be a problem." Cody complained beside her as he took cover. General Kenobi was behind a tree beside the commander. "General?"

Korra looked over at the bunker once the shots moved form their position. The droids were made of metal, so she should be able to bend them. "I got this." Korra stepped up onto the rock before leaping off the rock with a push of air under her feet.

It only took one more push of air to land her perfectly between the two droid positions. Korra reached up and grabbed onto the clumps of metal above her. She pulled them down and across, smashing all the droids to bits. Korra turned and looked back at the troops as she turned her com on. "Taken care of."

"Nicely done Korra." Obi-wan spoke over the com. "We'll join you as soon as we can."

Korra walked over to the wall and looked down. It would be a tricky climb. She swung her legs over and landed on the ground. She took a few steps back as she judged the height and difference.

"What are you doing?" Cody asked as he watched Korra calculate.

"Working." Korra nodded as she determined she had enough room. She took a wide step out to center herself. She took a deep breath as she reached out to her sides. She took a lunge forward as she pulled her hands forwards as well. Like dominoes resetting themselves after falling, layers of stone stood up and formed stairs for them to climb. Korra straightened up, proud of her work. "Much better." Korra remarked as she walked up the stairs and back among the piles of droids bits. "So, what's next?"

Obi-wan chuckled a bit as he climbed the stairs next. Many of the men were stunned to see what Korra could do. "Next will be the guns. We need to know what the droids have in store for us." He stocked his beard as he thought of what to do next. "Cody, send your best men to scout ahead."

"Yes Sir!" Cody replied before turning to the men gathered around. "Waxer. Boil."

Korra stuck close to General Kenobi as Cody organized men to scout ahead with himself. Obi-wan pulled up a holographic map of the city they had just entered. "This city is vast. The droids could be stationed anywhere." The jedi stroked his beard as he studied the map.

Korra thought for a moment as she studied the holo-map. There was an earth bending technique that allowed the bender to see anyone or anything touching the earth. She herself had never tried it, but she had seen it used on a few occasions. How hard could it be?

"I want to try something." Korra spoke up as she walked out to the center of the road. It would be too much of an effort to take off her shoes just to use one technique, but in theory it just had to be a point of contact between her body and the earth. So a fist or hand should work just as well as her foot. She knelt down and placed her hand down, focusing on what she was about to do. This would either work, fail, or possibly destroy the surrounding area. She hoped it wouldn't be the latter.

Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, Korra raised her hand and smacked it down onto the ground. Almost as if she was feeling the inside of a dark box, she got a faint sense of her surroundings. Imprints of the soldiers standing on the ground, the buildings close by, and the empty road ahead.

Korra shook out her hand as she stood up. "What did you see?" Obi-wan asked curiously.

"Nothing other than ourselves. It had a limited range though." Korra admitted sourly. "I haven't done that before. It's suppose to be much clearer and go a lot further. At least that's what I've seen with it." Obi-wan nodded. Now they waited for Cody to return with his scouting team.

It was an hour or so until Cody returned with some news. They had contacted General Windu and were discussing what to do going forward. "They are using the captured villagers as living shields for their canons." Cody explained as he populated the map with the canons and highlighted where the civilians were.

Obi-wan frowned as he observed the map. "This will make things difficult, but I still have a plan that just might work."

"Getting those villagers out of harms was is our first priority." General Windu iterated. "I have faith in you, Master Kenobi."

Obi-wan turned to Cody. "We'll hit the with everything we have and clear those hostages."

"Sounds like a blast." Korra commented nonchalantly. They started packing things up and preparing for the battle ahead. It was only when they started heading out that Korra noted something off. "Where's Waxer and Boil?"

Cody looked around, noting the two weren't present. "They've been gone a while." He was worried now. He tried their coms, but he wasn't getting a signal.

"A problem?" Obi-wan asked, having sensed worry and unease.

"Waxer and Boil aren't responding." Cody reported. This may put a damper on their plans. Especially if they ran into trouble that the rest of them weren't aware of. "Sargent, use the high power generator to reach Waxer and Boil." The clone in question nodded.

"For now, let's get moving." Obi-wan advised. "They'll catch up."

The city was silent as a grave as they moved along the road. Korra didn't find it comforting. What if the droids were just silently waiting somewhere. She rubbed her hand, contemplating trying the earth bending move again.

"Nervous?" Korra looked over her left shoulder as Cody spoke up.

"Maybe." Korra walked up to a stone pillar in the center of the road. Maybe she needed a smaller, more firm surface area on her body. "I'm going to try again."

"Try what?" Cody asked as he watched Korra square up to punch the pillar.

Korra closed her eyes as she took a deep breath to clear her mind. She pulled her hand back from the pillar before striking it. It was different this time. This time it felt like a bell ringing. Korra could clearly see the pillar and herself. She could see Cody behind her with his head cocked to the side. General Kenobi was walking at the front of the squad. Then further ahead she could make out something running one thin feet. It looked like an oversized flee and they were moving fast.

Korra pulled her hand off the pillar. "We have inbound!" She called out ahead of her towards the jedi. "Some sort of oversized bug thing."

Everyone tensed as they waited for threat to arrive. It was silent as they all took defensive stances. Then there was a thrumming and drumming of running. These things were big. When the first creature rounded the corner, Korra thought they were fleas of some kind.

"Fire!" Cody shouted before the squad attacked the creatures. Their skin was thick and they were fast, making them rather difficult to kill. Even Korra was having a bit of trouble lobbing rocks at them. They managed to kill one, but the creatures had killed a few of them. "These things are tough." Cody commented from beside Korra.

Korra looked over to the corpse of a creature. "But they're organic." She reached out to the creature and pulled the water out of it. She managed to get a decent ball of water out of the desert bug. "Home advantage." She grinned as she started using a water whip to corral to creatures back. They were hard to kill, so might as well try to trap them.

Korra paused as she felt a wave of calm move passed her and towards the creatures nearby. She watched with the men as General Kenobi reaches out to the creatures and drew them to him. They didn't attack, but seemed drawn to him. Korra slid the water into her water skin as the jedi drew the creatures into a dead end in the rocks.

"The bridge." Obi-wan spoke up from the other side of the creatures.

Korra looked up at the bridge at the entrance. She grabbed onto the bridge and pulled it down. Then grabbed onto the surrounding rocks and slid two more blocks into place, making the wall taller.

The jedi flew over the wall, having easily jumped over it. Obi-wan dusted himself off as he got up from his landing. "Neatly done Korra." He commented as he collected his lightsaber from Cody. "Now then-" They were all back on alert as the sound of metal on stone echoed around them.

Korra spotted a nearby sewer grate jiggling. With a stomp she sent it flying upward and held it suspended in the air, ready to use it as a weapon if necessary. They all waited tensely until Obi-wan deactivated his saber. Then Waxer and Boil climbed out of the hole in the ground. Korra tossed the sewer lid aside.

Cody let out a sigh as he shook his head. "Where have you two been?"

"Sorry sir." Waxer spoke up. "We got a little side tracked." He trailed off as he looked down and behind him and Boil. A small Twilek peaked out form behind Boil's legs.

Korra watched the child curiously as Obi-wan knelt and spoke with the girl in her native tongue. "She says she can lead us through the tunnels to the prisoners." Obi-wan looked back at Cody and Korra. "We're going to need a diversion."

"Mora than happy to help with that." Korra placed her hands on her hips. "Sneaking around's never been my strong suit."

Korra and Cody snuck around with their team until they were in position. General Kenobi, Waxer, Boil, and Numa were using the tunnels to sneak close to the guns. The two kept their eyes out to try and spot the Jedi.

"You leading?" Cody asked Korra while scooping out the hostage situation.

"I'm following you Commander. Just point me at the droids that need scrapping." Korra knelt down and looked at the droids in the courtyard. "So, how showy should I make this?"

Cody got distracted from answering as he spotted the General. "There they are." He looked over at Korra. "Make it as showy as you want."

Korra gave the soldier a smirk. "Alrighty then." She cracked her knuckles before uncorking her water skin. "Then let's start the show." She ran out as she pulled the water out and towards droid, wrapping the liquid around it's head before freezing it. Korra whipped the droid to the side knocking it into another before melting the water and pulling it back to her. She then moved into her more compact form from pro-bending, proceeding to fire ice shards at the droids.

It took the droids a moment to realize it was the republic attacking. The jedi with them was unfamiliar and she used powers they did not have stored in their memory bank. However, they were more adaptable than their previous counterparts. They rallied themselves and began their counter-attack.

Korra switched to metal bending as her water evaporated. Th metal was also useful for blocking the red shots the enemy fired at them. As she crouched behind cover with Cody she looked at one of the scorch marks. "What did you say those shots are made out of?" She asked the Commander.

"Plasma. They're plasma bolts." Cody informed her as he took shots between taking cover. He looked over at the woman beside him. "Why? What are you thinking?"

Korra hadn't heard about plasma before, but it was obviously something very hot. "Maybe fire bending." Korra thought for a moment before stepping out from behind cover. She pulled up scatter droid parts to block shots from the droids. As a tank floated around a corner, Korra took a deep breath to center herself. There was a chance this would kill her, but that was kind of how she did things.

"Korra!" Cody shouted at her through the coms. "Fall back! Now!"

Korra ignored the clone as she focused on the tank. She threw the droid parts at it, hoping to provoke it to fire. It worked and the tank fired at her. Korra stepped aside, hoping to catch it in a side stance, but the shot flew past her. Korra frowned, she couldn't draw any fire from it. In fact, it felt like water almost.

"KORRA!" Korra looked back at Cody as he shouted at her from their line far behind her. "Watch out!"

Korra felt the hairs on her neck stand up as she turned, a red bolt heading for her. She held her hand up on reflex to block the shot. The plasma splattered around her, but not touching her. Korra grunted at the uncomfortable heat around her. She pulled the plasma around her as she would water and threw it back at the tank, splashing it with the superheated liquid.

Korra let out a breath as she realized she had done it. Albeit on accident, but she had done it. She gave a cheer at her own accomplishment, then realized she was surrounded by droids. "Crap." Korra whispered as she tried to find an opening.

She got one as blue plasma bolts started firing on the droids. Korra pulled air around her into a wind tunnel, shooting her into the air. She used more air to slide back towards the ground, knocking droids around as she went. Korra looked around as she touched the ground, the droids were taken care of.

"What were you thinking!?" Korra was shocked as Cody yelled at her. "Did you even think before you stepped out in front of that tank?!"

Korra scratched the back of her neck and looked to the side, not able to look at Cody. "Well, I had an idea. And it worked, didn't it?"

Cody sighed heavily as he placed his head in his hand. "Next time, warn me. That was something I would expect General Skywalker to do. Rex can handle that stress."

"It's no fun with two impulsive people." Korra replied as she finally looked over at Cody.

Cody shook his head. "I think you need to look up the definition of fun." He checked his holo-com for updates. "Looked like General Kenobi was successful. Let's regroup with the General." It was easy for Cody to gather all the men and for them to begin heading for the cruisers that were landing. No doubt the General would be somewhere around there.

Well that was fun. And I give you Plasma bending(sort of). It's just controlling a source rather than making it herself. So at like beginner/novice level.

For the scene when she blocks the shot, just picture the block Katara used against Hama, but it wraps around her rather than away form her.

And no I am not trying to ship Korra with Cody(or any of the other clones) at the moment. It might turn into that, or i might do a different pairing. I'm really not sure.
