Chapter 14 – The God and the Avatar

Mountainous Region, Outside Republic City

Thor's chariot, which was pulled by divine goats instead of ostrich-horses, carried the newly named Avengers across the sky, never hitting a thing. They saw a camp, it had Equalist flags across its tents, Thor made the goats go down unto the earth avoiding the tree line, and landing a few meters outside the camp.

"Look, its Amon's air ship." Mako said as he pointed at an air ship that was close by, its markings different from the other air ships under Amon's control.

"The camp is that way, let's finish this." Thor said as he led the team through the snowy forest.

When they past the bushes and trees they saw that the camp was just an entrance to something bigger, an airfield. Airfields were something that had been designed to store airplanes, newly created vehicles by Future Industries.

"An airfield." Asami said. "That means my father is here too."

They all advanced further in, the camp was abandoned. They must be inside the airfield's control tower. From what it looked like, Amon hadn't had time to reveal his trump card, and his chance was ruin once the Asgardians appeared.

They continued on, and entered the airfield. There, there was dozens of airplanes and some mecha tanks.

"Destroy those planes; we don't want them to use the technology." Asami said.

Thor threw his hammer at four of them, while Mako used lightning to destroy two and Bolin bending two huge chunks of rocks at the rest.

"I'll look for Amon." Korra said. "It ends today."

"Be careful." Thor said to her, she nodded to assure him. Then she ran inside the control tower.

"Benders!" A voice through a speaker said. It was Hiroshi Sato inside a modified mecha tank, this one had runes written on it.

"Dad!" Asami yelled in anger.

"I can't stand seeing you with these benders, Asami. But when I am through with them, you will understand." Hiroshi said.

"Nay, villain." Thor said as he stepped forward, his divine cloth shining bright. "You will face Thor instead."

"No Thor, he's my father. I will deal with him." Asami said.

"Art thou sure? His tank has runes written on them, they are magic based." Thor told her.

"I'll find a way to stop him." Asami said as she ran and went inside another mecha tank.

Mako walked to her side, and took a fighting stance, sparks coming out of his fingertips. Thor saw this, they were closing loose ends.

"Bolin, we should assist Korra, they have a score to even." Thor said, Bolin understood what he was saying and then went inside the control tower.

Inside the tower was something else, it looked much bigger than from the outside, more spacious. They walked through the hallways then they were stopped by two massive individuals.

"Storm Giants!" Thor said with surprise in his voice.

"Well, would you look at that brother? A god fully dressed up for the party." One storm giant said.

"Aye, and he has a mortal pet as well." The other more replied.

"Hey, I am not anyone's pet!" Bolin yelled at them, they laughed even harder. "Go Thor, I am taking on these cretins."

"Bolin, these are Storm Giants, art thou sure?" Thor said with concern. Storm Giants were a race of giants that shared the realm of Jotunheim with the Frost Giants, unlike the latter the Storm Giants were smaller and considerably weaker, but their power surpassed any mortal and some lower gods.

"Don't worry Thor; they are barely taller than me. I'll show them who actually the pet is." Bolin said with a confident smile in his face while cracking his knuckles.

Thor couldn't change his friend's decisions, so he took off, running so fast that the giants couldn't stop him.

"Alright, who's first?" Bolin said as he prepared for battle.

Deep Inside the Control Tower

As Thor went on to look for Korra, he thought on something strange. How could Amon, a mortal, summon the giants of Jotunheim? Then it occurred to him, the Destroyer, the magic spells and now giants, it had to be Loki.

That mischievous fiend, it was him who controlled the mastermind; the God of Mischief was behind Amon's insurrection. Possibly to cause chaos and destruction, and to kill Thor in the process, but he never expected for the Asgardians to step in and Odin saving Thor's soul from Hel. Reckoning would come to him when the moment called for it, for now he had to stop Loki's human puppet, Amon.

Thor reach the top of the tower, he still wondered how could Korra have gone through the giants in the first floor, he got his answer.

"Ah, welcome Thunder God. I see that you defeated the Destroyer, I was aware of it once the Lieutenant's body went…well dead." Amon said, he had Korra in his hand.

"What have you done!?" Thor yelled with anger.

"I have merely debended the Avatar, you see?" Amon said as he let Korra go, she fell on the floor.

Thor walked forward towards Amon, the mortal did not show fear.

"Your tricks won't work on me, bloodbender." Thor said, Amon was not surprise of him knowing his secret. "My divine blood is unbendable."

"That may be so…" Amon continued. "…but I don't need to." He walked towards a wall; from it he grabbed a staff.

"A gift from Loki, God of Fire." Amon said. "Now we are evenly matched."

Amon's body was surrounded with a green aura, magic and spells were casted onto his very being. He removed his mask, revealing a scarred face, full of burns.

"Let's finish this." Amon said as he raised his magical staff in a battle position.

"Aye." Thor said as well, taking an Asgardian battle stance.

They both rushed at each other, striking each other with their weapons. Amon's wounds kept healing thanks to the staff while Thor's armor seemed to resist the impacts. Their fight broke through the walls of the tower; they fell down into the airfield below, creating a crater.

Amon stood up, still powered by the magical staff of Loki, while Thor floated down to the ground, his armor still flawless. Thor noticed that Asami and Mako still fought the enraged Hiroshi Sato.

"Since my power comes directly from Loki himself…" Amon said. "That means that my bending has been blessed with Asgardian Magicks, correct?"

"What art thou talking about?" Thor said as he narrowed his eyes.

"It's better if a show you!" Amon said as he did bloodbending motions with his arms, Thor began to felt something.

"It cannot be!" Thor said as he began to lose control of his body. He was thrown into the air, and back inside the tower. He landed next to the semi-unconscious Korra.

"This can't be…" Thor said as he felt restricted from moving his limbs.

"It can be." Amon said as he floated back into the highest part of the tower. "It is fitting for you to be defeated by a mortal; this will teach the gods to not challenge humanity."

"What…you do is…wrong…extremes never…fix anything!" Thor could barely say.

"They do and I will show you. I am going to destroy you." Amon said as he placed his hand on Thor's face. "I am going to bend the blood in your brain and I am going to stop it from flowing."

Korra lifted her head up to see what was going on, she saw that Amon with a powerful green aura was bending Thor's blood, and now was about to destroy his brain. Korra stood up and with a loud cry she released the only bending ability she hadn't reached, Air.

"Nooo!" Korra yelled as she punched the air releasing a powerful blast of centralized wind onto Amon's back pushing him off Thor. The impact was so great that it made Amon drop the staff, canceling his power.

"Impossible." Amon said with surprise, he tried to bloodbend Korra once again but she resisted.

"No you won't!" Korra said as she did an air kick move, blasting Amon through the hole in the wall, making him fall into the airfield below. Nothing could have survive that fall from great height.

Thor stood up, feeling better now that the magical bloodbending grip was off him; he walked towards the hole and looked down. He saw Amon's body on the snow accumulated ground. His face had landed on soft snow with his body had hit hard on the pavement. He was dead.

Thor turned around, to check on Korra.

"Korra…thou bending…" Thor said

"I…" Korra couldn't say anything for she had lost her bending except the newly unlocked Airbending, but she was now a bendingless Avatar for all intents and purposes.

She hugged Thor, for she needed him now.

On the airfield below, Mako and Asami had managed to defeat Hiroshi and his super mecha tank. Bolin walked out of the first floor of the tower, his clothes ripped but he had triumphed over the giants.

"Well, that took a little more than I had expected." Bolin said as he stood next to his brother. Asami came out of her mecha tank.

"Once the soldiers arrive, they will take my father to arrest him" Asami told them. She felt really bad that it had to come to this, but it was the right thing to do.

Thor floated down folding Korra with his left arm. Apparently, they had beaten Amon.

"You guys okay, where's Amon? " Mako asked.

"He's over there." Thor pointed at a body at the base of the tower.

"Oh…" Mako said as he noticed. He walked towards Amon's corpse to see the evil man behind this war.

When he moved Amon to see his face, he saw the face of a man in his late thirties. Mako saw that the paint that he apparently had on had been washed off by the snow. Now they could prove that Amon was not who he said he was and that his name was actually Noatak and a bloodbender.

"Korra, you don't look so good." Asami said.

"Amon…he took my bending away." Korra said with a sad voice.

They gasped, the Avatar had been debended.

The South Pole, a week later

Now that the fight was over, the team headed to the South Pole to see if Katara could restore Korra's bending. She couldn't, for the damage was already done. Korra felt horrible and ran outside the house. Thor followed behind her; he was now in his normal attire.

"Korra stop!" Thor said.

"Leave me alone." Korra responded as she rode Naga away from the compound.

"It's better that you leave her alone to think. This has been hard for her." Tenzin said, he had stayed in the South Pole with his family and Lin incase the war came to them.

Thor understood what Tenzin said, but he needed to do something.

On the edge of a cliff, Korra sat at. She was thinking on how now the world had an Avatar that couldn't bend the four elements, that her most favorite thing in the world was now gone. She felt useless.

"Korra…" A voice was heard behind her, it wore blue boots with some golden decorations.

"Not now Thor, I want to be alone." Korra responded to the soft voice.

"But I am not my son." The voice said back.

Korra eyes widened when she heard what the man said, now with a grizzlier sound to his voice. She turned and around…

"Hail Avatar, I am Odin the All-Father." He was Odin, Thor's father and the most powerful being known in the universe.

"Odin…I thought…" Korra said confused.

"That I was still in the slumber of the gods?" Odin said. "I had awakened a week ago, but I have seen all your deeds, Avatar."

"And as a showing of my appreciation for saving Midgard, for loving my son and for showing great bravery, I give you your powers back." Odin said as the heavens ripped in two by Odin's own hands, divine light was casted on to Korra.

"I, All-Father Odin, give thee Avatar Korra thy powers back, and have made a special place for thee in Valhalla!" Odin exclaimed. "Tell my son, Thor Odinson, that he needs not to worry for all of Loki's wrongdoings have been corrected, for he can stay on Midgard and return to Asgard anytime he wishes!"

And with that Odin disappeared, and the heavens returned to their normal state. Korra stood still with her eyes close, still feeling her powers coming back. Then she opened them…they were glowing white.

She had unlocked the Avatar State and thanks to Odin she had also mastered it in a few seconds being able to control all the elements around her once more, and now including air. She stopped and floated back down, Korra now felt the true power of the Avatar, but then she heard Naga licking something. She turned around…

There stood Thor looking at her; he was astonished that his father had given her back her power. They ran to each other, Korra jumped on Thor, while he held her. They kissed passionately.

"I'll never leave thee, Avatar Korra." Thor said as they once again kissed, hopefully the hard trials of war on Earth have finally over, with Asgard once again watching over the mortal world it will enter into an era of peace and prosperity.

The End?

Earth's Orbit

"What a planet full of life and energy…" A voice said as it watched the blue planet rotating. It was silver in skin and rode on what it looked to be in a silver board of surf. They had called him by many names, "The Raider of The Spaceways", The Silver One and among other names.

"My master will surely enjoy this world's energy, even though it pains me to see these people die after such deeds…" He said.

"…but it is my job as his loyal subject, as his herald." He finished saying, he entered the planet's atmosphere, his silver figure shined through the morning sky above the city.

"This world must die because….

….GALACTUS MUST LIVE."
