20 Chapter 20

Chapter 20:

"Okay, that's enough training," Jiran said as he walked off. Not even a drop of sweat was shredded from him as he easily defeated the three expert benders.

"I think I have given enough assistance, Korra, I'll go back to the Air Temple Island" He said and then he opened the window of the gym with a slight gust, he turned around giving them a wink before jumping out while giving them a peace sign.

"He knows that ordinary people use doors, right?" Bolin tried to joke off his destroyed pride but his joke fell flat.

"He didn't even sweat!? Is this how weak we are to him…?" Mako shouted and Korra answered.

"It's not that we are weak… it's just that he is too strong…" With that realization in mind, Korra and the rest continued their training.

One Week Later

Let me give you a brief summary of what happened.

First of all, Korra's team, the Fire Ferret won three match reaching the final bracket of competition; however in mid-battle the edgy equalist dude Amon announced that the final match of Pro Bending should not be continued as these barbaric sports were against the equalist's will.

This causes a huge rift among the people, those who want it to continue and those who don't. It was gaining so much controversy that the council itself had to step in.

The council discussed whether the pro-bending final fight should still be continued, there was a lot of opposition but eventually they conceded because of Korra.

And so here we are today, watching the fight between Korra's Fire Ferret and the Wolf Bat.

"I don't have a good feeling about this, Tenzin '' Jiran said to Tenzin who was watching the match besides him.

"Me too, those Wolf Bats are looking very suspicious, like they bribed the referee or two" Tenzin said while narrowing his eyes to the opposite team.

"That's not what I'm talking about" Jiran sighed, muttering those words under his breath.

"It's starting!" Tenzin exclaimed.

The announcer started speaking, gaining everyone's attention.

"The anticipation is palpable as we are just moments away from the championship match"

" Will the Wolfbats' ferocity help them repeat as champs? Or will the underdog Fire Ferrets serve up a surprising bowl of smackdown soup?" He said excitedly.

The Fire Ferrets are preparing themselves for the championship as the ring announcer comes up to the stage, light beaming down on him as the spectators cheer.

"Introducing the challengers, the Future Industries Fire Ferrets!" He announced pointing at Korra's team.

After being introduced Korra and the rest waved at the cheering crowd.

The Fire Ferrets cosplayers cheer as the Fire Ferrets come to the arena. Hiroshi and Asami are sitting in the V.I.P. section as Asami blows a kiss to Mako and winks at him. Mako does the same to Asami.

Korra noticed this but strangely instead of being jealous she felt regretful, 'I wish Jiran could do that to me' is what is in her mind.

Back to the announcer:

"And their opponents, the three timed defending champions, the White Falls Wolfbats!"

Their opponent came to the stage, Bat-masked Wolfbats with purple capes howling and spreading their winged capes while fireworks go off all around the arena. The Wolfbats' fangirls cry and howl in support. There are three players on Wolfbats' side, Tahno, Ming and Shaozu.

Jiran cringed at their crappy costume and what's more, the smugness on their faces was anger inducing.

"The champs and challengers face off at the center-line and here we go!"

The Wolfbats instantly move toward their opponents and Tahno attempts an uppercut on Korra with his waterbending fist. Korra moves back to barely dodge it and backflips, only to be hit by a waterbending blast from him.

"Tahno tries to clean the Avatar's clock with some dirty water boxing."

Mako firebends and misses while Ming takes two earth disks and kicks them to Mako, followed by two more, which is enough to force him back to zone two.

Ming shakes off Mako's attack and returns the favor.

Shaozu flips forward while Bolin kicks some earth disks toward him. One of his disks bounces off the side ropes and hits Shaozu, knocking him against the fence.

"Shaozu gets fancy, but Bolin ricochets a disk off the ropes and says 'No, thank you sir!"

Tahno looks at the Fire Ferrets in slight irritation for that. Shaozu runs out the way of Mako's fireball just in time.

"The waterbenders slug it out, looking evenly matched."

Tahno waterbends a prolonged stream of water at Bolin, forcing the earthbender into zone three.

"Tahno gets a little too worked up and unleashes a deluge on Bolin that would certainly elicit a foul."

The center of the ring lights up and the Wolfbats are allowed to advance.

"Or apparently not."

"What's the big idea, ref? That was a hosing foul!"

Referee signals it was not and Mako looks at him in anger.

"I told you Jiran, there's something fishy going on here!" Tenzin on the sideline exclaimed at Jiran who remained spectating the match.

"And the Wolfbats advance despite Tahno exceeding the waterbending time limit."

The match continues as Korra begin to waterbend, only to be hit by Tahno's own attack.

Bolin launches a disk at Tahno, who dodges, as Korra rolls to the side. Mako dodges a disk from Ming and begins firebending back at him.

"A questionable call by the officials!"

Ming lifts up a disk under Mako's foot, tripping him forward, before launching another disk at Mako, sending him back into zone three.

"Ming trips up Mako with another dirty trick!"

"Oh come on, refs! There was some funny business in that last play!" Tenzin shouted.

The Ferret brothers are backed up to zone three and the Wolfbats smell blood.

Tahno freezes the water when Bolin jumps back, causing him to slip, get hit by a fire blast and fall out of the arena. The crowd boos.

"Looks like Tahno snuck in an illegal icing move but once again there's no call."

Tahno and Shaozu both attack Korra as Mako rolls out of the way of an oncoming disk and attempts a fire blast back.

"I don't know what match the refs are watching but it's obviously not this one."
