Chapter 1

Tonight, her hit was the temple. Those were really a hit or miss. It would either be loaded and she would make a nice amount of yuan or she would have completely wasted her night. The fire bender used her bending to fly over the water that separated the city and Air bender island. As she landed on the shore, the twenty-five year old woman pulled her mask over the bottom half of her face and bounced in to action. She pulled a pair of Sais from off her side and stabbed them in to the side of the temple and started to scale the side of the building. It didn't take her long to reach the top window of the building.

Balancing herself on the Sais, Kyo looked in to the window. A few guards had gathered themselves at a table listening to a radio. It seemed her timing was good, as moments later another guard poked his head in to the room and motioned them to follow him. Taking this opportunity, Kyo slid the window open and climbed through, landing on the wood floor silently. She made her way across the room and opened up the closet door. It didn't surprise her to see that there was nothing but a couple coats hanging in there. Shutting the door, Kyo crept to the other door in the room and cracked it a good inch, peering through. On the other side of the door was a hallway and across from her, a flight of stairs and another door. Hearing that there was voices coming from behind the first door, she silently went for the stairs, making her way down them as quietly as she could.

Halfway down them, Kyo heard another voice that was quickly coming up towards her. The thief's dark eyes shot around the area, trying to find away to either hide or escape. She didn't imagine that going all the way back up the stairs was to good of an idea, not with more guards up there, so it looked like leaving wasn't really an option.. Looking up she saw that there was rafters on the roof. That made things a bit easier. Kyo scaled up the walls as quick as she could, and pulled herself up on to one of the rafters. She had barely made it up in time when a girl in water tribe clothing walked underneath her, followed by two boys and another girl with really long dark hair. Two boys who she recognized to be from the fire ferrets. A bit weird to see a pair of pro benders on Air Temple Island. But it was also weird to see a somewhat familiar looking girl in water tribe clothing.

It must have been karma trying to scare her, because the four of them had to stop directly underneath of where Kyo was perched. She couldn't help but roll her brown eyes at that. The group below her spoke in angry tones, while the girl with long hair stood there silently. All Kyo caught was something about betraying, secret factory and bad fathers. Or something along those lines. Finally the other girl spoke up.

"I'm sorry Korra..."

Wait... Korra? Kyo narrowed her eyes at the group of teenagers. 'You have to be fucking kidding me.' She thought to herself with a scowl set on her face. She needed to get out of here. Kyo pealed her eyes away from the teenagers and began a silent journey to the top of the stairs, via rafter. But apparently not quite enough. One wrong foot placement and the wood underneath her foot let out an ungodly creak that just seemed to echo. Almost immediately the chubbier of the group's head snapped up and made eye contact with Kyo and a look of surprise spread across his face.

"Guys! It's another equalist!" He practically screamed pointing a finger at the woman. The other three's heads snapped upwards, and their faces all contained the same expression as the earth bender guy had. The four instantly went in to battle mode and the next thing she knew, Kyo was having fire sent her way.

She wasn't doing this shit tonight. Four against one? That wasn't even fair. But apparently she wasn't getting a choice in the matter. A water whip wrapped around the rafter that she stood on, snapping it in half. The thief dropped from her position on to the stairs, managing to keep her balance and not go tumbling down backwards. As more fire was sent her way, Kyo bended fire right back at them, making it collide with both Korra and the other fire bender's flames. Turning her head slightly, Kyo saw that the other girl was right behind her, wearing one of those snazzy little gloves that all the chi blockers seemed to wear. The ones that could electrify the living shit out of you.

"No you don't, princess..." Kyo spoke to her, using the wall to flip herself over the woman and shoot her flames from the bottom of her boot.

"Since when do equalists bend?" Korra asked out loud, to no one in particular. Kyo rolled her eyes. Korra had always been stupid. In eight years, nothing much had changed. In what way did she look like one of those damn equalists? She managed to get down to the bottom of the stairs and started running towards the nearest window to get out when a large gust of wind from a very little person sent Kyo flying across the hall and in to a wall pretty hard, knocking the wind out of her.

"Take that, evil doer!" The little boy (with the oddest shaped head) shouted as she landed on her hands and knees. Kyo managed to roll out of the way as another gust of wind, and fire came at her at the same time.

"You fuckers certainly play fair don't you?" She cussed at them, trying to catch her breath as she stood up again and started running towards the little boy again, while clutching her stomach with her arm. Each hit sent towards her, Kyo managed to narrowly avoid and were only to be returned with her own blasts of fire.

"Meelo! Get out of here, it's not safe!" Korra yelled to the little boy, who obediently leaped out of the way, but not before sending one more blast of air towards Kyo... In a fart formation...

The thief wasn't lucky enough to dodge that hit and was sent flying through the window and out towards the dark looking ocean below. Her eyes widened, as her long black hair came loose and she came closer and closer to the rocky water. Not even a second later she hit the water with a splash.

While she managed to hit the water without being skewered, she ended up bashing her knee pretty good on the sides of one the rocks.

To say the least, that had been unsuccessful. And Kyo was pissed. She had been doing this for long enough, this could have been easy. But apparently karma wasn't just trying to scare her. Karma was full out trying to get her. That's what you got when you tried to steal from a fucking temple.

While it had been a long and somewhat painful swim back to the city shore, Kyo had managed to make it without drowning, or being eaten by some unknown creature that could possibly lurk the waters. But now she was wet, cold and angry. And to top it off, she had to walk all the way home with a very bruised knee. Fun stuff. Kyo angrily pulled the mask off her face and let it hang around her neck like a scarf, and started her 'journey' through the streets of Republic City. Being as this was a large city, there where all those scumbags that lurked the nigh, and the even more adoring, bending gangs. Half of them where notorious for raping unsuspecting citizens and leaving their dead bodies lying in some gutter.

Kyo wouldn't be surprised if more at least half the back alleys in this city had, had a rape happen in them. She really should have been prepared for what happened next. As the thief limped down a grungy alleyway, she was surrounded by a group of four or five men. Looking up to see them properly, Kyo saw that four where men and one was a woman. Just when she thought her night couldn't be any better.

"What do we have here?" One of the men spoke in a deep and somewhat rough voice. The others smirked and gave a slight laugh. The big guy that had spoken, pressed her up against the wall, with one arm on the wall over her head, and the other one by her shoulder. His face was uncomfortably close to hers and she could smell alcohol and weed in his breath. Lovely.

Kyo didn't say a word. Her eyes stared down the man as she raised a hand to his chest and shoved him away from herself. The man's mouth formed an 'O' for a brief minute, but was soon replaced with a cocky little smirk.

"This one seems a little feisty! So should we have some fun to night, guys?" The other members of the little gang let out a chorus of cheers. One of the men let out a wheezy laugh. "Then fun there shall be..." He turned back to Kyo with a suggestive smile on his face. Roughly he grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against the wall, making her smash her head. Kyo was just loving this night more and more. As her vision became blurry and a splitting pain erupted from the back of her head she felt his calloused hand that wasn't currently doing anything went down and grabbed her thighs and continued moving up from there. At his touch, Kyo squirmed and tried to wiggle out of his grasp. Her small fist managed to hit him in the ear. He just smacked her across the face and then eagerly grabbed the front of her shirt black shirt and ripped the top buttons open.

Kyo gasped for breath and grasped his hand as she looked over the big guy's shoulder. The others, including the girl, were so close that she could smell their breaths too. The apparent leader, let go off her and then looked at the girl. "Mika, care to make this easier for us?"

She grinned at him and opened up some sort of pouch full of water. "Sure boss!" The woman water bended the water out and it quickly clamped around Kyo's wrists pinning them to the wall and then freezing them, so that she was held in place.

Everything seemed to be happening so fast, and Kyo was too tired for this shit and was feeling absolutely wretched. Her guess was she had a concussion. The impact between her head and the wall had been hard enough and Kyo was certainly experienced in that feeling. Looking at her frozen hands she started heating them up in an attempt to melt the ice. Several hands where on Kyo as she growled and kicked her legs at them, trying to her best to keep them at bay only to have her head grabbed and smashed in to the wall behind her, once more.

It was almost miraculous when a black figure shot out of no were and sent the leader flying and crashing in to a dumpster. "What the hell?" He shouted, with a string of curses following behind his exclamation. The Mika woman rushed to his side like a puppy, and the other men let go of Kyo looking around in surprise, trying to figure out what just happened.

Kyo squinted in to the dark trying to figure out what had just happened, but much to her despite her vision started to dim and her eyelids felt like they wade two tons. She couldn't pass out. The harder she tried to fight it, the heavier her eyes felt.

The figure came back again, and it didn't take him long to have them all on the ground looking half dead. The leader stood up again and fire came out of his fists and he started chucking flames towards the hooded savior, who dodged them like they were nothing. He continued to charge at the leader and threw him back in to the dumpster, making that Mika woman scream.

At one point before Kyo finally passed out she was the man look at her. He was wearing an all too familiar mask. When she saw it, the first thing and words to come out of her mouth were, 'Are you shitting me?' Then everything went black.
