My friends, we have a celebration to well, celebrate...OVER 100 REVIEWS, BABY! I seriously never expected the story to get so much reviews. It really means a lot to me that you all enjoy the story and I can see how.

Alright, this chapter is mostly about what happens after Mako volunteers. The next chapter is the first part of the trials.

I saw a lot of reviews about how he said he volunteered was like the Hunger Games and I seriously wasn't aiming for it. xD I just tried to think of what could be said if you were to step up for it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra. The rights to that belong to Nicklelodean and Michael Dante DiMartino and Byran Koneitzko. I only own the plot idea and this story.

Pairings: Makorra, Bosami, slight Masami and Borra.

Summary: Mako is the world's most charming treasure hunter; he's got the looks, he's got the talent and the goofy sidekick (His younger brother Bolin). During a raid they encounter Korra, who seems to be Mako's equal and Asami, Korra's beautiful but deadly partner-in-crime. They seem to both be looking for the same treasure. To find it, they'll have to join forces and with the evil Amon on their tails, it isn't going to be pretty.

All was quiet as the entire tribe turned to the stranger that had just volunteered for the trials. They looked at him. His skin wasn't the dark tan complexion they all shared but a tone that was a step away from being pale. Their eyes were aquamarine and his were a golden-brown color. His hair was a black mane of a mess, being spiky in the fringe area and theirs was brown or dark-brown and styled in their own customs.

Korra stared at Mako with wide eyes and he just looked at her. Tonraq chuckled, "So be it then. This newcomer shall participate." He turned to the clan, "Three days time until. I have that much time to prepare for the trials. Dismissed." He turned and disappeared into his hut.

"Mako!" Korra flung herself into his arms and he stumbled back to catch her, "Don't do this...people have died in these trials." She began crying, her head burried into his chest.

Mako's face kept it's steely look but he sighed, "Korra, I have to try. I don't want you to be married to someone you don't like."

"But you should be focusing on the hunt.." She mumured.

"Actually, this is helping it." Bolin spoke from behind Korra.

"How?" Korra let go of Mako, wiping the tears from her face.

Bolin crossed his arms, "Think about it, the note said the tribe leader has the paper...so, if Mako wins..."

"We get the paper.." Mako finished, pausing for a moment.

Bolin smirked, "Exacto-mendo. We just gotta make sure your ready for these trials." He looked at Korra, "Know anything about them?"

She sighed, "No, my parents never told me about them. Their just really dangerous...that's all I know." She cringed slightly.

Mako hugged her, "I can do this. I have the skills to withstand this." He smiled to assure her.

"For now, we best get you used to this place, Mako." Bolin mumured, "You gotta know what the people act and most importantly, check out the competition." He grinned and grabbed his brothers arm, "Let's go check it out!"

"But I don't wann-agh!" Mako was pulled away before he could object.

"Hmm...let's see." Bolin mumured, peeking out from a rock, "There's that guy who glared at you." He nodded at the tall fighter, "Beefcake by the look of him." He grinned, watching as the volunteer trained with other hopefuls.

Mako rolled his eyes, watching, "I can fight better than that. I'm pretty strong to."

Bolin looked as a guy ran into him only for him to fall back, "I never saw that happen when you fight someone."

"Oh go stick your head in a hole." Mako muttered.

"I'll pass, bro." Bolin replied smoothly.

"Shouldn't I be training? Instead of watching Godzilla in his human form?" Mako turned to him, the thought of actually trying to practise popping into his mind.

"Your choice, I guess. I'm not forcing you to watch."

Mako sighed, "Why are you so happy?"

"Because." Bolin said.

"Because what?" Mako asked, irritated.

Bolin grinned, "Because I know you'll win."

Mako paused before he smiled lightly, "Thanks, Bo.."

"No problem. Just remember you're fighting for your woman!" Bolin punched his brother in the arm.

"We need someone for you to fight for Asami." Mako smirked.

Bolin blushed brightly, "M-Mako!" He said a little too loud.

This alerted the others attention and Bolin shoved his brother out and into view.

"Hey, it's the outsider." Godzilla smirked, cracking his knuckles, "What do you want, Shortie?"

Mako groaned, rubbing his head, "Nothing."

"Hit him, Karu." One of the people by his side urged him with a grin.

"Why hit him when I can just pound him to the ground during the trials?" He smirked, bending down to Mako, "Better start practising, Shrimp. I'm not so nice out in the battlefield."

Mako glared at him, standing up, "Trust me, you should be the one practising." With that said, he turned and walked away.

Bolin followed him, "Dude, you shoulda hit him!"

"If I hit him, he'd probably go whine to Korra's dad and I'd get kicked out and my chances ruined.."

"Good point." Bolin yawned, "Let's go find Korra and Asami." He lead his brother away.

"Grr...stupid Karu. I just wanna-" Korra shook her fists violently-, "Y'know?" She asked the others.

"Damn straight." Bolin nodded, "He seems pretty annoying. How do you know him?"

"We knew eachother as kids." Korra sighed, "He was a stupid show-off who had the biggest obsession with me."

"He had a crush-" Bolin was about to speak.

"Obsession." Korra corrected, "Man...it was so weird." She laid her head down, "I just want this to be over with.." She sighed.

Mako hugged her, "Don't worry, I can do this."

Asami nodded, "He has a better chance than tons of guys here."

"Though that Karu guy looked super strong-"

"Bolin!" Asami hissed, signalling for him to shut up.

"But your better, bro." Bolin uneasily grinned, "You can do anything!"

Mako sighed, "Thanks, Bo..." He looked at the sky, "But I don't know what to expect of these trials...I just have to try and be ready for whatever is to come."

Bolin smiled, "I'll be glad to help you train."

"Thanks, Bo." Mako repeated, but this time his tone was more cheerful.

"And even if you lose, we can always run away."

Korra chuckled, "Right..."

"I'm serious!"

Everyone then laughed at Bolin.

Sorry for the long wait. Chapters will only be up once a week because I have exams coming up.

This would have been up earlier today but I fractured my leg and I got caught up in the hospital. They took like five hours before they examined my leg and even I could tell it was fractured. So that's what happened. Total bummer and all.

Next chapter shall be the beginning of the trials. PM some ideas for them 'cause I only have the first one planned out.
