Prologue: The New Avatar
A/N After getting my sister to read "Tales of Ricki" and realized how many mistakes I made, I'd decided to make a version two (V2) of my story with less errors. Anyway, enjoy and please tell me whether or not you prefer this version or the original version. Thanks you.

Almost a year after the death of Avatar Korra, the society known as the White Lotus began their search for the new Avatar. With knowledge that the next avatar would be born an Earthbender, the members of the White Lotus search proximity in the Earth Kingdom. Searching from the wall of Ba Sing Be to the busy street of Republic City to every, single, little villages found. After almost six years of constant searching, three members of the White Lotus walk into the small village of Rai, located high in the mountain side.

Morsi:
As my friends and I exited the back of the wagon, we look at the small village of Rai. The village was smaller than expected. There were only about 20 small houses, each align in a row of five. Each house was brown, with a few windows, and a garden.

The village itself was located in a rocky terrain, with a few trees in the surrounding area. Nearly out of view was a small, narrow steam.

"Welcome to Rai", said the farmer who drove us here. He then started tending to his two ostrich horses.

"Hmm", I said to myself. "So this is where the avatar live, uh?"

"Yup", reply the farmer, chuckling.

"Little Richi been earthbending for about two years now. After learning how to earthbend, he quickly learn how to firebend, airbend, and waterbend. The kid’s a natural."

"That's assuming even if this "little Richi" is the avatar", commented Lzuara, another member of the White Lotus.

"It is worth checking", Materic declare. He was the third member of our little party.

"After all, we haven't found the avatar anywhere else."

Ignoring both Lzuara and Materic, I walk toward the farmer.

"Where does this Richi live?"

"He live on the other side of town, second house from the left."

"Thanks you."

I took from my pocket some coins and give them to the farmer. I then turn around and started walking toward the village, with Materic and Lzuara follow behind.

During the walk through Rai, we past a few families that were planting some rice crops and some kids that were playing with a small, leather-covered ball.

"No technology", Materic said. "This place is odd-fashion."

"Rai is located high in the mountains, with very few trails here. Even flying here is danger."

We continue on our walk through Rai until we arrive at the house.

I knock lightly on the wore-down door.

Torie:
Trying my best to clean the house, I stop when I heard a knock at the door. I went to open the door. When I did, I saw two old men and one old woman. They all wore a blue robe, covered by white lines. Close to the top was a long piece of white cloth, with the picture of a white lotus on it. Once I saw the clothing, I instantly knew who these three were.

"Hello", I said.

I brush some dust off my light green dress, move my raven-black hair aside, and stood tall with praise.

"I am Torie."

"Hello Torie", reply the elderly man standing in the middle.

The man was tall, muscular-build, and has a layer of gray hair covering the back of his bald head. Along with the small mustache and beard on his round head, he has a sharp nose and eyes that show little expression.

"I am Morsi."

He then turn toward his friends.

"These are my friends, Lzuara and Materic."

I look at Lzuara and Materic.

Lzuara was tall, thin, and has long, beautiful, gray hair. Her face was oval-shaped, with a sharp nose and eyes that show little expression too.

Materic was a medium-height man, a little fay, and has neatly combed, gray hair. His face was circle-shaped, with a slanted nose and eyes that show at least a little expression.

"We are all members of the White Lotus. We have come to your humble village in search of the new avatar, and have heard rumors about your son, Richi."

"Yes", I reply. "I know who you all are. My family and I have been waiting for you to arrive for so time now. If you'll follow me, I'll take you to the new avatar."

I walk out the door, pass the members of the White Lotus, and toward the back of my house. As we reach the back of my house, I lead the three toward my own wagon.

"Where is Richi", Morsi ask.

"He is training now. I will show you to him."

The three were confuse at first but eventually got on. I slowly drove them to Richi's training ground.

Torie:
I watch the empty wasteland, waiting for Richi to reappear. Even since he learn how to earthbend, he been digging tunnel all over the wasteland. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprise if Richi was earthbending an entire city down there. He always did have a playful mind.

While watching the wasteland, thinking a small part of the wasteland actually move a bit, I was disturb by the sound of ostrich horses.

I turn around to face my beautiful wife running toward me. As we collided, we hug and kiss.

After the kiss, I look up and notice she has bought people with her.

"Let me guess", I started, my wife standing aside.

"You're all members of the White Lotus. And you're all currently looking for our son, Richi."

Instead of replying, the three simply nodded.

Deciding it would be best if I did not comment, I introduce myself.

"Hello. My name is Torr. I'm Richi's father."

Morsi:
Richi's father, Torr, was a tall man. He was quite build, and has a oval-shaped head with a round nose and chin. He also has long, dark brown hair.

"Hello", I said.

"I am Morsi. These are my friends, Lzuara and Materic."

I move aside so Lzuara and Materic could greet themselves.

"Hello", they both said.

"Hello", Torr reply.

"As you would have guess, we are looking for your son, Richi."

Looking around, I didn't see Richi anyone.

"Where is your son?"

For so reasons, Torr and Torie started to giggle.

"Did I say something funny?"

Still giggle, Torie answer.

"No", she said.

Trying her best to stop laughing, she walk toward the empty wasteland.

"RICHI!!", she yell, her voice echoing through the wasteland. "WE HAVE GUESTS!!!"

Within seconds of Torie's shouting, the ground below us started shaking. Lzuara, Materic, and I all started to stumble around, trying our best to stay standing.

All of a sudden, far from us, the ground exploded. Giant pieces of rocks and dust clouds came flying out.

After awhile, admits all the rocks and dust, a shadow came flying out.

"WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!", yell the shadow, who was now firebending.

A long steam of red and orange flames came shooting out from both his sides.

The shadows flew around for a long time before stopping. As the shadow stop firebending, he started to fall. He just kept falling, and falling, and didn't at all use his firebending.

Instead, he line up his body as straight as possible. Now, he was falling even faster, and still, he wasn't firebending.

When it look like the shadow was going to crash into the ground, he instead waterbended from the nearby steam. He waterbended part of the steam, making some of the water hover. The hovering water acted as a sort of "landing tube". He fell right through the "landing tube" and quickly slid right through the whole things. He landed safely on the shore beside the stream, dry.

After spending a few minutes celebrating and cheering, little Richi finally notice us and started running toward us.

About halfway through, Richi spun around and made a sort of air ball. He then jump onto the air ball and within a few minutes, he was standing in front of us.

"Impressive", I thought.

"Already, little Richi can earthbend, firebend, airbend, and waterbend."

"Hey mom. Hey dad. Are these the guests I heard you yell?"

"Yes Richi, they are", reply Torr.

Turning from his parents, he offer us a handshake.

"Hello", Richi said in a playful voice.

"Hello", I reply, shaking Richi's hand.

"Is there anything I can help you three with?"

Richi:
I watch as the three elders before me then got down on their knee. They place their fist against their palm and bow.

"Richi", said the elder man in the middle.

"We are all members of the White Lotus. For the last seven years, we have seek you out."

I slowly nod. I knew what was coming next.

"We are humble to serve Richi. For you are the next Avatar. You are Avatar Richi."

I couldn't help but smile as my parents walk up to my side.

"Sure took your time finding me, huh?"

Chapter 1: Not Ready Yet

A/N Enjoy and Please Leave a Review

8 Years Later, Hidden Camp in the Earth Kingdom

Richi:
I stood on the arena's wall, looking into the large, empty stone field. Making sure no one was around, I started earthbended. I started stomping my foot on the floor and started moving my arms around.

Out from the arena's ground came large, stone blocks. By the time I was done, almost the whole arena was cover in stone blocks.

"Okay", I said, placing my hands at my hips.

"Well, that's a job well done."

I then turn around to face the many rows of empty stone seats.

"ZUA!", I shouted, cupping my hands around my mouth.

"THE ARENA IS READY! COME OUT!"

Waiting a short while, a spirit suddenly appear on my shoulder. The spirit was small, chubby, and pale yellow. He had four little, pudgy arms with two little, pudgy legs. Along his two tiny, black eyes, he also had leaves on his ears which he use to fly around.

"Hi Richi!", Zua said, falling on my shoulder.

"Hi pal!", I reply, tickling him in the stomach.

He laugh a bit, swinging his arms and legs around.

For the last eight years, Zua has been my friend. I met him when my family and I were moving here. We were in a wagon crossing a desert when I saw him not to far away. Apparently, he was exploring the human world when we found him. He seem so lonely, I invited him along for the trip. During the trip, however, we bonded and become friends. Now, almost everyday, he come and visit me. We play games, have lunch, and sometime just relax.

"So", I started, "What do you think of the arena? Do you think it'll work?"

Zua took a quick peek behind him.

"Wow!", he shouted in a high-pitch voice.

Taking off, he flew into the maze of stone blocks, disappearing among them. Waiting awhile longer, I close my eyes and started counting.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

I kept on counting until I reach 20.

"Ready or not, here I come!"

Using my firebending, I flew into the air before landing directly in the maze of stone blocks.

"Okay Zua", I said, clapping my hand.

"Here I come."

I started walking aimlessly around, keeping an eye out for my little spirit friend.

Zua:
Watching from a distance, I saw Richi fall into the maze of blocks. He landed almost right in the center of the maze. Hoping to surprise him, I quietly but quickly flew toward him. I landed on the block nearest to him, staying low so he couldn't see me.

"HERE ZUA!", he shouted, cupping his hands around his hand.

"YOU KNOW JUST AS WELL AS I DO YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!"

"Excellent!", I thought. Richi is overconfident. Maybe I could use that to finally best him at this.

Waiting a short while later, I ran from one end of the block to the other, gather as much speed as my short legs could grant me. I then jump off the block, hoping to surprise Richi.
"Here I can!", I told myself.

Falling fast, I thought I was finally going to surprise Richi, beating him in the game, but just before I could even touch a speck of his hair, he quickly turn around and caught me in an air ball. Strong winds surrounded, stopping me from leaving.

"I Win!", Richi scream.

"That's 32 games for Richi! 000 for Zua!"

He then made a zero with his thumb and index finger. Seeing this, I let a small sigh. I couldn't be mad at Richi. After all, I'm the one that said winner would earn bragging rights.

"Okay", I said, giving Richi a few more minutes of bragging right.

"You win, I lost. Now can you please let me out?"

"Not before I do this!", Richi said.

He started making the winds surrounding me to go even faster. I started spinning around like crazy. I couldn't control myself, even with my ear.

"aaaahhhh! Not funny!"

Morsi:
Watching Richi and Zua from a distance, I lower my head, cover my eyes, and sadly shook my head.

"This is sad", I said.

"Not really", reply a voice suddenly.

A little startle, I quickly turn around and prepare to firebend.

"Hey!", said Torie, holding up his hand.

"Easy Morsi. It's me. Torie."

"Hm", I murmur angrily, "You should know not to sneak up on me like that. I have... "issues"."

"Yeah I know. You don't have to tell me about your "issues"

Torie then patted me on the back.

"So, what isn't my son doing this time?"

"He isn't practicing!", I scream, "If I may, as the new Avatar, he should be practicing how to talk with his past lives and how to enter the Avatar state! Instead, he just keeps on playing game with that spirit!"

"May I remind you", Torie started, "That Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra didn't spend all their time training and practicing. They hung out with their friends, went on exciting adventures, and still managed to become a full Avatar. Beside, this is how Richi practice. It's how he always practice.

Even back at the village."

Before I could think of a reply, someone from behind spoke.

"Excuse me Mr. Morsi", said a member of the White Lotus.

"But we have visitors."

"Visitors?", Torie and I repeated.

"Yes. Two visitors, both female, wearing Water Tribe clothes, claiming to be from Republic City."

"Republic City?", I thought, "They must be here for Richi."

"Let they in", I said, "Please show them to the dining room."

"Of course", reply the member. He bow before me, then walk away.

"Come", I said to Torie.

"We have guests. They must be hungry, considering we're quite a way from Republic City."

"What about Richi and Zua?", Torie ask, looking back at the pair. They were both still in the maze, only now they chasing each others.

"He'll come", I reply, "After all, he can never resist deep-fry honey buns."

"Was that a joke?"

Richi:
"Hey Zua", I said suddenly, "Do you smell that?"

Both of us stop chasing each other and smell the air.

"Deep-fry honey buns!", we both yell.

Quickly earth-bending the arena back into it's original state, Zua hop onto my shoulder and I quickly ran to the kitchen. Mom doesn't make her famous deep-fry honey buns a whole lot. The reasons is because it take awhile. First, mom must get fresh honey from the near-by farmers. And by near-by, I mean almost 15 miles away. After getting the honey, she must prepare the buns. This take about two hours. It take about two hours because she like to harvest the wheat herself. She head to the garden we have in the back of the camp, harvested all the wheat, and then start to make her even famous sauce. It is a long, hard process. Now I think know how she make the sauce but I do know it take a long while. Anyway, after all of that, she deep-fry them in a boiling pot for about 30 minutes. And now after all of that, which is nearly four hours, the deep-fry honey buns are ready.

"Sorry!", I shouted as I quickly flew through the stone hallways of the camp, trying my best not to hit any of the White Lotus members on the way.

"Excuse me! Pardon me! PLEASE GET OF THE WAY!"

After a few bumps here and there, Zua and I finally arrive at the dining room. The dining room was a small, yet long room made completely out of stone. There wasn't really much in the dining room, other than the earthbended table, seats and a few wall decoration. Once in the dining room, I stop. Because there, right before me, were was an entire plate full of deep-fry honey buns.

Ignoring everyone else, I reach over the one of the buns, but before I could grab it, my mother slap me in the hand.

"Ouch!", I scream, pulling my hand back.

"Stop right there, young man!", yell my mother, her eyes practically glowing red.

"What have I said about guests!?"

"Guests?", I repeated.

Looking to see who was at the table, I notice two faces I never seen before, sitting kind of close to me actually.

"Richi", my mother started, "These two are our guests; Mian and her daughter, Kaixsin."

I took another look at Mian and Kaixsin. Mian was a tall woman, with long, light-brown hair tied into a ponytails. Her skin was a light tan color, and her round face was accompany by black, happy eyes. She wore a tight, blue dress with pictures of waves woven into them.

As for Kaixsin, she was a little shorter than Mian, almost my height. Her raven-black hair were tied into small, thin strands that hung close to her pleasant, ocean-blue eyes on her also round face. She wore similar clothing to Mian, but instead had picture of the full moon on her blue dress.

"Let me guess", I said, tapping my finger against my chin before drawing circle in the air with it.

"You two are from the... Southern Water Tribe., right? And you came here for... Hey wait! How did you two come here?! I thought this was a "hidden camp"."

"Actually Mian and Kaixsin are from Republic City", interrupt Mori, who was sitting a little further away from me.

"Though they do have family in the Southern Water Tribe. You were right about that."

"Yeah?", I said, still wondering about the whole "hidden camp" thing.

"Anyway", Mori continue", They are here because President Cocaneta of Republic City send them here. She contacted members of the White Lotus in Republic City and convince them to tell her the location of the hidden camp. Why, I don't know."

"It is because Republic City is in danger", Mian said. All of a sudden, those same happy eyes vanish from her face and were replaced with the eyes of worry.

"Of lately, Republic City has been under attack by these...-"

"He will not go!", Mori scream suddenly.

"Richi will not go to Republic City! That is my final word!"

"HEY!", I scream, "If there's trouble in Republic City, then I should go! It's my job as Avatar after all. To ensure peace among the four nation."

Ignoring me completely, Mori turn to Mian and Kaixsin.

"Please forgive me", he said, his voice returning to normal, "But Richi will not be able to help you. Your trip was a waste and I'd very much appreciated it if you two could please leave."

"Whoa!", Kaixsin said, standing up. A sudden fire appear in her eyes.

"We're not going here. We came here to get the Avatar and that is what we're going to do!"

"No you are not", Mori reply calmly.

"Well then we'l-"

"Kaixsin, please!", whisper Mian.

Her fist clench now, Kaixsin "calmly" brush herself off and return to her seat. Now her mother started talking.

"If I may", Mian started, "Why can't the Avatar came to Republic City? Has he not learn to master the four elements yet?"

I was about to yell that I had mastered the four elements already, but Mori stop me.

"Sadly he has not. He does know how to bend them but mastering them is a different story. And beside, Richi has never once manage to talk with any of his past life. Nor enter the Avatar State."

Hearing those words, I lost it.

"AAAARRRGGHHHH!", I scream, suddenly tossing a fireball at Mori.

The huge, flaming fireball I threw quickly travel through the air, flying pass everyone and everything on the table. Just before it could hit Mori though, he caught the fireball in his hand and slowly and calmly split it apart. The fireball disappearing almost entirely afterward.

"How is that for not mastering?!", I yell, my eyes burning with rage.

"Poor", reply Mori, scornfully.

"That attack could have hurt anyone here. It a miracle you didn't. And as it's target, you forget it was I who help to improve your firing bending. Very disappointing, Richi. Very disappointing. And not only so, but you have also made a mess"

My eyes still burning, I look around the table and sure enough, Mori was right. I had cause a mess with my outburst. The foods that was once neatly place on the tables had been scatter everywhere. Puddles of soup were leaking off the table. The plate of fried duck I didn't notice before was now on the floor, and mom's deep-fried honey buns on some of the members of the White Lotus.

My eyes now returning to normal and feeling ashamed, I quickly said sorry and went to my room. I travel through the hall of the camp for awhile until I arrive at a plain, stone wall. I stomp my foot on the ground and lifting my hands up before swiftly dropping them. A small part of the wall then open, allowing me to enter my small, dark room.

As I enter my room, I felt onto my bed and let out a sigh.

"Well that was interesting", said a voice suddenly.

"Aaaaahhh!", I scream, getting off my bed and ready to attack.

"Hey easy", said Zua, flying out from one of the corner of my room and landing on my bed.

"Uh...Zua", I said, giving him a little slap on the head.

"Sorry Richi", he said, "But you move so fast through the hall, I lost my grip."

"Oh, sorry", I reply, "I didn't notice."

"Yeah", Zua reply before continuing.

"After you left me, I flew toward the dining room and that when I saw you toss a fireball at Mori. What happen?"

"He won't let me go to Republic City!", I scream, the rage returning.

"He didn't think I'm ready! But I know I'm ready! I been practicing for almost 10 years now! I know how to bend all the four of the elements! And what threats could be so dangerous I would need to enter the Avatar State anyway!?"

Zua:
Richi continue to scream at me for a little while longer before stopping and falling back onto his bed.

"Richi", I said, walking to him.

"What Zua?", he said. I could barely hear him since his face was buried in the bed's blanket.

"You know Mori only has your best intentions at heart. After all, he himself made a promise to Avatar Korra to watch over you. And he want to keep that promise!"

All of a sudden, Richi jump from his bed, scaring me a little.

"I know what I'm going to do!", he scream.

He then ran over to a stone drawer and pull out some of his earth kingdoms' clothes and an old, torn knapsack.

A little curious, I flew onto the top of the drawer. By the time, I got there, Richi has shove most of his clothes into the knapsack.

"Where are you going to do?", I ask.

"I'm running away Zua", Richi said excitedly. "I'm running away and heading to Republic City."

30 Minutes Earlier

Kaixsin:

"Do you really think this work", I ask, following my mother into the hidden camp.

"Yes", my mother replied. "The avatar will help us. After all, it is the duty of the avatar to maintain peace and balance."

I roll my eyes.

Republic City is in the middle of a war. Benders from every nation, along with nonbenders were all fighting. Not against each other but against something else. That "something else" has been attacking businesses and important building in the city. As time pass, the attacks have been more and more threatening. The mayor suggested we ask the avatar for help. My mother volunteer to ask the avatar and she ask me to come along.

As we enter the camp, we were approach by one man and one woman. They were both tall, young, and wore the White Lotus uniform.

"Greeting", one of them said. He then place his fist against the palm of his hand.

"I am Mmont of the Earth Kingdom."

He then introduce his partner.

"This is my partner, Kasi of the Earth Kingdom. We are most humble to be in your present."

"Thanks", my mother reply. She place her fist against her palm.

"I am Mian of the Southern Water Tribe."

Mother then look toward me.

This time, I place my fist against my palm.

"I am Kaixsin of the Southern Water Tribe."

The two members of the White Lotus nodded.

Mmont then spoke.

"We understand you want to see the avatar. We-"

"We need to see the avatar", mother interrupt.

"...Yes. We understand you need to see the avatar. We are to escort you to the dinner room. There you will meet Avatar Richi."

"Thanks you."

The four of us started walking toward the dinner room.

As we enter the dinner room, I first notice the long, brown table in the center. It was simple, covered with beautiful, blue tables cloth. Along with the blue table cloth, there were vases filled with flowers.

"Not bad", I thought.

Mother and I sat down while the members remain standing.

"Avatar Richi will be here shortly. Along with his parents and other members of the White Lotus."

"Thanks you", my mother said.

After waiting awhile, a woman enter the room with us. I guess she Avatar Richi's mother, since she was wearing Earth Kingdom clothes.

"Hello", the woman said. "I'm Avatar Richi's mother, Torie. I just want to said its an honor to have you here."

"Thanks", I said.

Torie then smile.

"Are you hungry? I could go prepare a meal. It's almost time for supper."

"Okay. Thanks you."

Torie then left the dinner room. She return later with plates filled with steaming foods.

"Please enjoy", Torie said.

I look toward my mother. She nodded and I grab a deep fry sweet bun.

As other members of the White Lotus started entering, I has to finish my sweet bun fast.

After the room was almost full, Avatar Richi arrive. Or at least, I think he was Avatar Richi.

Avatar Richi was a young man. He wore Earth Kingdom clothes, and has black hair that was messy. With him was another member of the White Lotus, a tall man in Earth Kingdom clothes, and a little, yellow spirit.

As Avatar Richi enter the room, he instantly notice the deep fry sweet buns and reach for them.

Before Richi could reach them, his mother slap his hand.

"Ouch", I thought.

Richi took back his hand, and his mother look at him angrily. Richi quickly took back his hand, and Torie look at us.

I guess Richi wanted to make up for his act because he turn toward us.

"Hello", he started, offering us a handshake.

"Hello", we both replied. Mother and I shook his hand.

"I am Richi of the proud Earth Kingdom."

Richi then bow.

When Avatar Richi bow, we both smile.

I think mother smile because of Richi's polite manner. I smile because I notice mud in his hair.

"May I ask who you two are?"

Instantly, mother and I started laughing.

Through the tears in my eyes, I could see Avatar Richi standing there, looking confuse.

Once we were finish laughing, mom finally spoke.

"You don't recognize us?"

"Should I? I admit sadly, I do forgot people quite easily."

We laugh again.

"You mean you don't recognize your own daughter and granddaughter?"

Avatar Richi must be really confuse now.

"What?"

Before I know it, the spirit beside him yell.

"Wait! Aren't you Avatar Korra's daughters?!"

"Yes", replied my mother.

"I am Mian of the Southern Water Tribe and this is my daughter, Kaixsin of the Sothern Water Tribe. I am Avatar Korra's daughters and Kaixsin is Avatar Korra's granddaughter."

"So... what does that have to do with me?"

Once again, the spirit beside him help him. He gently tap Richi's shoulder, before whispering to you.

I didn't hear what the spirit said, but he must have inform Richi of the reincarnation cycle of the avatar. I didn't know for sure until Richi that he has a daughter and granddaughter.

"Oh. I get it now. I have a daughter and a granddaughter. Wait. Is that bad?"

"No", said the old man seating himself at the table.

He offer a handshake to us.

"Hello. I am Mori of the Fire Nation and of the White Lotus."

"Hello Mori. I am Mian of the Southern Water Tribe and this is my daughter Kaixsin of the Southern Water Tribe. We have came to your camp in search of the avatar."

"Huh", Richi said.

"Why do you need my son", Torie ask.

"It's about Republic City. There has been troubles concerning the people of Republic City and the President Cocaneta believe that the only person who can help is the avatar."

Before anyone could said anything, Mori yell.

"Absolute not. Richi is not ready to travel to Republic City. Not yet."

"Will someone please explain to me what going on?"

"What do you mean by "not yet"? He already know how to airbend, waterbend, earthbend, and firebend. He is ready."

"He may know how to bend all four elements but he has not yet master them. He hasn't even been able to enter the avatar state."

"He doesn't need to enter the avatar state. He just need to come with us to Republic City to restore peace. That is the avatar's duty!"

"Okay", Avatar Richi yell, shooting fire toward the ceiling.

"Can someone please tell me what going on?! What is this about Republic City and troubles and about me entering the avatar state?"

Everyone slowly look at each others.

"He doesn't know", I ask.

"Know what?"

"About Republic City. There have been attacks on stores and houses in Republic City. The polices there haven't found a connection between the attacks."

Richi then turn toward Mori.

"Mori, did you know about these attacks?"

Mori remain quiet for a while before answering.

"Yes. I knew about these attacks. I also knew about the president, and how he attempted to contract you. I stop him and told him that you weren't ready yet."

"What? As the avatar, it's my duty to help maintain balance and peace."

"Yes it is but still, you're not ready. Not ready to face real threats."

"You don't get to tell me whether I'm ready or not!"

Richi quickly turn around and started leaving the dinner room. His spirit friend follow after me.

Avatar Richi's mother was about to get up and follow after him but the tall man stop her. I has actually forgotten about him. He must be Avatar Richi's father.

"No", he said suddenly. "I think it be best if we give Richi a little time alone."

Torie stood still for awhile, before turning to Mori.

"Why", she ask. "Why not yet?"

"Because Avatar Korra entrusted me with the duty of protecting the avatar til he really. And that is exactly what I will do."

Before anything could happen, Mori quickly left the dining room.

"Well", I said. "That was exciting."

Richi:

"It not fair", I shouted, bursting into my room.

My room was small and plain, square-shaped with my bed in one corner and a stone desk next to it.

Upon entering my room, I jump onto my bed

"Avatar Korra may have entrusted Mori with the responsibility of taking care of me and all, but that doesn't mean trapping me in here!"

Zua came in flying after me, landing on the other side of my bed.

"What do you think Zua? Am I right for wanting to go to Republic City and help the people there or is Mori right for protecting?"

Instead of answering me right away, Zua just stood still, scratching his chin with his little arms.

"Honestly", Zua reply, "I don't know."

"What?! Come on Zua! This is a simple question! Who is right?!"

"Richi. Listen to me, okay?"

As Zua said that, I started feeling worry.

"Okay. What do you want to tell me?"

"I think you and Mori are right. As the avatar, you have to help people and maintain peace and balance. But at the same time, Mori is also right. You may have learn how to bend all the elements but you haven't really "master" them yet."

"Hey! I thought you were going to be supportive here!"

"I am begin supportive. It just that Republic City isn't that safe. I been there before."

"Zua, I know about the threat at Republic City. That why I NEED TO GO."

Zua then let out a small sigh.

"Okay. Let said that maybe it is best that you go to the city. How do you plan on getting there? Walking take too much time, you can't afford a boat ride, and you don't have an aircraft or flying bison."

"Don't worry Zua. I have a plan. I just need a few things."

"I afraid to ask...but what do you need?"

"Air nobles clothes, a medium pack, a few supplies, and pen and paper."

"Air nobles clothes?"

"I may be the earthbending avatar but I prefer to use airbending."

Zua simply shrug.

"Maybe you should wear normal clothes instead of air nobles clothes. It help you blend in more since air nobles usually isolate themselves."

*sigh*

"Okay. I wear regular clothes. Anyway, once it's late enough, we'll put my plan into action. For now, get some sleep Zua."

I then place my head on my pillow and started to go to sleep.

Before falling fully asleep, I heard Zua saying he got a bad feeling about my plan. I hate to admit it, but even I got a bad feeling about my plan.

*later that same night*

*snoring*

I was peacefully sleeping, when I started to feeling something. Something weird. It felt like someone was throwing rocks at my stomach.

"Argh. What?"

I open my eyes and saw Zua, jumping on my stomach.

"Zua? What are you doing?"

"Remember the plan? You wanted to sneak out so you could go save Republic City."

It took me awhile before I actually remember what Zua was talking about.

"Oh yeah. The plan. *yawn* Well. Might as well start now."

I slowly got out of my bed and started getting everything I needed. I first went to my closet. If I was going to fit in, I need city cloth.

"Okay", I said. "What do I have?"

Upon examining my options, I knew I has to change my plan. All the cloth I have were Earth Kingdom clothes. Wearing that type of clothes and going to Republic City would make me an earthbender, yet I didn't really see any other option.

"Look like I going to be an earthbender."

I grab a few sets of cloth and went to put them on my bed. I then reach down and grab a medium, brown pack from under my bed. I quickly stash my cloth in my pack.

"I got my pack and a few sets of clothes. Now I just need those supplies and a pen and paper."

"Come on", Zua said quietly. "We have to move."

"I know Zua. If we don't, we be late."

"Late?"

"Part of the plan. Anyway, you get the pen and paper while I get some foods and water from the kitchen."

As we left my room, Zua and I split up.

I quietly enter the kitchen and quickly grab all the foods and water that could fit in my pack.

Once done, I went to find Zua.

It didn't take me long to find Zua. Mainly because I knew where we kept the pen and paper and because Zua couldn't hold them both.

"Hey Zua", I whisper. "Need some help."

"No", Zua his hand was a pen. He attempt to grab a piece of paper but stumble around instead.

After watching Zua mess around a little longer, I decide to help him. I grab a pen and paper and started writing.

After I was done, I place the note in the dining room.

"Come on Zua. We have to move fast."

Zua:

As I watch Richi place the note on the table, I notice bits of tears in his eyes.

He then turn around and face me.

"Come one Zua. We have to move fast."

"Okay", I reply, "But how? The White Lotus guard all the entrances and exits of camp."

"I know. That why I going to make a new exit."

Richi then started walking toward the camp's arena.

As we enter the large, empty battlefield, Richi started earthbending.

He jump right into the center of the arena and bend a hole into the earth.

"Fly in Zua. We going to Republic City."

I shook my head before flying into the hole with him.

As we both enter the hole, Richi close it and begun to earthbend us a passage. Eventually, we got outside.

"Okay", I said. "Now what?"

Richi didn't reply instantly since he was fixing the hole we use to escape.

"Well. Now we're heading toward the dock. Hop in."

Richi then open his pack.

"What? Why?"

"Because the boat leaving for Republic City leave soon. And you can't that fast. I, however, and airbend fast."

Before I could said anything, Richi grab me and shove me into his pack.

"Sorry Zua but we don't have that much time. Hold on!"

Richi airbend himself an air ball and we quickly move toward the dock.

After begin trap in Richi's pack for what felt like ever, Richi let me out.

"Ahhh", I said. "Did you ever wash that pack?"

"I think so. I mean, it doesn't look that dirty."

I was about to comment on how the pack may look clean but smell like a pile of rotten meats when I notice something.

"Hey Richi", I said. "We're meant to be going to Republic City, right?"

"Yeah", Richi reply.

"So why aren't we on a boat?"

"Because the boat already left the deck. It over there."

Richi pointed toward a large, fancy ship, leaving the dock.

"Oh no", I said.

"What do we do now? The boat gone."

"Relax Zua. This was part of the plan."

"This was a part of your crazy plan."

"Yeah. I just need you to hold this."

He then handed me his pack. I could barely hold it.

"Fly to the ship. I met you there."

Richi then jump into the water. Using waterbending, he quickly travel underwater.

"Hey! Wait up! I can't fly that fast!"

Richi manage to get to the boat fast, while I struggle not to fall into the water. After some time, Richi and I were both on the boat.

I handed Richi his pack.

"Thanks for carrying my pack."

"Thanks for making it some heavy."

"No problem. Anyway, now that we're done, it time to enjoy and trip. Next stop, Republic City."

I couldn't help but smile. I flew back into Richi's pack and took a nap. The pack may smell but it was comfortable enough to smell in.

"Wake me up when we're there."

Before I could fall asleep, I heard Richi call me a "lazy spirit".

"I ain't lazy", I reply. "I just tired from carrying a heavy pack."

Both of then laugh.

5: Chapter 4: First Day at Republic City

A/N Enjoy and Please Leave A Review

Richi:

*A Few Days Later*

*chewing sound*

Since I didn't exactly "pay" for passage along the ship, I has to sleep in the cargo hold, among all the boxes.

I was munching on an apple in the cargo hold when Zua sudden appear before me. Normally, a person were be surprise by a spirit appearing before them, but then again, Zua been doing this trick since we first met.

"Hey Zua", I said. "You want something to eat?"

I reach into my sack and pull out another apple.

"Sure", Zua reply, happily taking my apple. He then sat beside me.

"How much longer do you think it be before we reach Republic City", I ask.

"Not much longer", Zua reply, taking a small bite of his apple. A little bit of apple juice fell from Zua's mouth.

"How much longer is "not much longer"?"

"I don't know. Maybe about half a day longer."

"Swell", I commented, placing my apple down.

"You know Zua. You are lucky. You are a lucky, little spirit."

"How *chewing* am I *biting* lucky?"

"You can go into the spirit world and explode. I'm struck in a cargo hold."

Zua stop eating for a bit.

"You can go into the spirit world too."

"Yeah I know but who going to watch my body. If I go into the spirit world, there a chance I may be discover by one of the ship's employee."

"I guess you're right."

Zua went back to eating his apple. I also continue to eat my apple.

I was about to take a bite of my apple when the ship started to shake. Both Zua and I drop our snack.

"What going on", Zua yell.

We then heard the ship's fog horn go off.

"So much for "half a day", I remark.

I grab my sack and open it wide for Zua to enter. He went into the sack and I close the opening.

"Okay. Now all I have to do is wait."

Lucky for me and not Zua, I didn't have to wait long. The doors to the cargo hold open, as workers begun to come in and take boxes out.

As soon as I saw an opening, I went for it.

"Excuse me", I shouted, running through the the surprise workers. I easily escape the cargo hold and was outside fast. Before I could get any farther from the ship, I turn around to face them.

"Listen", I shouted. "I just want to said sorry for begin a stowaway among your ship but I kind of has to. So again, sorry for begin a stowaway, but I be sure to recommend you to everyone and anyone I met."

After I was done thanking the employees and passengers, I turn around and use earthbending to launch myself away.

By the time I was done launching myself away from the ship, I has somehow ending up on the roof of a building.

"Yes", I said, hopping around and raising my arms. "Republic City! Here I am!"

My celebration was stop when Zua started punching my back. He then pop out of my sack.

"Hey! Be quiet! You don't want people knowing the avatar here, do you?"

"Sorry Zua, but it's my first time begin here. Unlike you would been here plenty of time."

"I only been here once", Zua said, raising one of his four arms.

"Well still. You been here more time than I have. Anyway, give me awhile to enjoy and sights of Republic City."

I let Zua out of my sack before standing at the edge of the building. I saw the many beautiful sights of the city.

I saw many different buildings. Some of them were short, but most of them were almost as tall as the sky.

"Amazing", I thought.

The streets below me were filled with all sort of people and automobile. I saw people wearing fire nation clothes, people wearing water tribes clothes, and even people wearing air nobles clothes.

The automobiles I was seeing fast and amazing. Every single automobiles was different. I saw a long, blue automobile. Next to it was a short, red one. Behind the red automobile was a fat, white one.

"Where get can buy one of those?"

Zua:

As Richi continue admiring Republic City, I started to think.

"What to do now? We're in Republic City with no money or any friends."

I thought about finding the two women who were at the camp earlier, but we don't know where to find them.

I wanted to ask Richi what to do but he was still busy looking at Republic City. After letting Richi stare at the city a bit little, I flew up onto his head.

"Sorry about this Richi but it time to go."

"What? Oh, sorry Zua. I guess now that we're here, it's time to stop those attacks Mian and Kaixisin mention."

"Okay. How?"

"...*clearing throat*... I don't know."

"What?!"

"I just realize I didn't plan this far ahead. I only plan for escaping the camp. Nothing else."

I lower my head in shame.

"So now what do we do? We have no money, the only people who know where we are are across a ocean, and we have no idea where Mian and her daughter are."

Richi look like he was going to said something but before he could, we heard yelling.

We look down toward the street. Close to the end of the street were some bender. They were attacking a shop.

"That must be one of the attack", Richi yell. "Yes! New plan! Defeat benders and question them!"

Before I could said anything, Richi jump off the edge of the building, and started sliding down the side.

When he got close to the street, he launch himself right between the bender and store.

Richi:

"Okay", I said, getting into a fighting stand. "Stop right now or have your butt kick. Your choice."

Now that I was closer, I could see what type of bender the attackers were.

There were three of them. The first attacker was a water bender. He wore a long, blue robe. The robe look like it has picture of waves on it.

The second attacker was an earthbender. He wore a simple, tan shirt and pant.

The last attacker was a firebender. He wore a red coat, with some red short.

"Who are you", the firebender ask.

"I am the ava...I am some random kid who want you three to leave this store alone."

After I was done talking, the three bender look at each other with confuse faces. After they were done looking at each other, they laugh. Now it was my turn to look confuse.

"HAHAHA! That's funny kid", said the earthbender. He was still wiping tears from his eyes.

"But do you know who we are?!"

"...No. Not really."

The reply made the benders laugh even more.

"We are the Triple Threat Triad! The most feared gang this side of Republic City!"

"Triple Threat Triad", I repeated. "You three don't look so threaten. Not at all"

As so as I said those words, the three instantly stop laugh. Now, they were angry.

"Oh yeah", shout the waterbender. "Well let us show you why we're called the Triple Threat!"

He pull back his robe to show a brown water bottle. He took off the cap and started bending the water at me.

Thinking fast, I stomp on the ground and a large, pillar of stone appear before me. It shield me from the waterbender's attack.

Shock by my quick reaction, I punch the stone pillar and it ram right into the waterbender. He flew right into another store across the street.

"Opp", I said. "Sorry! My fault! My fault!"

The next person to attack was the firebender. He jump forward and place his two fists forward. Two steams of fire come rushing toward me. Pretending to be hit, I fell down onto the ground.

With me on the ground, the firebender rush to me.

"Think we're threatening now", he said, pointed his fists at me.

"Nope. Still don't see what you're called the Triple Threat."

I spread out my legs and arms and sink into the ground, leaving an outline of myself in the ground.

"What?!"

I pop up from the ground behind the firebender, wearing a suit of stone.

The firebender, hearing me, turn around and unleash a power steam of firebending. With my new armor, I was able to survive the firebending. Once he was done, I grab his neck collar and punch him right in the head. Still time, he fell onto the ground, and I don't think it was pretend.

I turn toward the final bender.

"Okay. It's me versus you. Earthbender versus earthbender."

Now really angry, the earthbender started his attack by stomping hard on the ground. Rocks then came from the ground. He begun to hit the rocks. They came flying right toward me.

To counter, I rush forward to punch the rocks. The rocks broke at soon as I strike them. This fight between me and the earthbender continue until he ran out of rock. Seeing an opportunity, I charge him, readying an attack.

Hoping to stop me, the bender started flipping his hands up and down. Pillars of stone came bursting from the ground. I simply jump over the pillars, and once I did, I slid down toward the ground. I then quickly removing my rock armor and toss it at the earthbender.

He fell down, defeated and cover in stone.

"Wow", I said. "These are the attacks everyone is worry about? This is whole lot easier than when I first learn how to bend earth."

"Richi", I heard someone yell.

"Argh! What!? Who!?"

I look around before seeing Zua fly around.

"Richi! Sorry to stop you but we have to leave!"

Zua then flew back into my sack.

"What? Why?"

Zua pointed up.

I look up and saw two long, black airship. Huge doors at the end of the ship begun to open. A group of people, who seen to be working some sort of metal armor, came falling out of the airship. The people use some sort of "metal cables" to latch themselves onto wires above.

"Metalbender", Zua whisper.

"What?"

"Metalbenders are the polices of Republic City. They use cables to arrest the criminals of the city."

"Kind of pointless now, don't you think? In case you haven't notice, the criminals are knock out."

Looking up again, I saw how the metalbender use the wires and their metal cables to landed around me.

"Stop right there", one of them yell.

"Okay", I reply. "Hi. Caught the bad guys for you."

The metalbenders all look past me and at the knock out benders.

"Huh. Excuse me? By chance do any of you know where I can find a "Mian of the Southern Water Tribe"? I'm new here."

Everyone around me just cross their arm. Well, except for the few metalbenders who went to arrest the Triple Threat Triad members.

I was feeling a moment of glory when all of a sudden, it ended.

"You're under arrest", the metalbender in front of me declare.

"What? Why? What did I do?"

"Property damage. From the look of it, you did more harm than help."

"No I didn't. All I really did was break a store window."

"Still. You're under arrest."

The metalbender then attempt to trap me, using the metal cables. With no other choice, I smash my hands into the ground and a large platform of rocks came up. The metal cables hit the platform instead of me.

"Sorry. As much as I want to visit the city's jail, I really have to find Mian."

I then started use the platform to escape. It begun to surf across the streets of Republic City, with me and Zua on it.

"You do know you're just making thing worst, right?"

"Yeah, I know Zua. But what can I do about it."

6: Chapter 5: Unexpected Friends

A/N Enjoy and Please Leave a Review

A man is simply driving through the streets of Republic City. He look up and smile. To him, it's is a wonderful day. Then, the ground start shaking. He step hard on the brake as a large piece of stone rush past him.

Richi:

"Have we lost the metalbenders yet", I ask, sliding my feet against the surface of my stone platform.

Zua peek out from my pack, the wind rushing against his tiny, leaf ears.

"No! They still follow us!"

I look behind us and saw the groups of metalbenders zapping across the wires.

"Wow! You think they can teach me how to do that?!"

"Depend on how they feel after this!"

"Well, in that case, hope none of they hold grudges! HAHAHAHA"

Hoping to stall the metalbenders, I turn around and kick some rocks toward them from my platform.

My hope was quickly lost when the metalbenders caught the rocks and threw them down.

"Did I mention metalbenders are also earthbender", Zua said.

"No", I shout. "Would have been helpful if you told me earlier.

Still focus on the metalbenders chasing us, I saw how two of them jump from the wires and onto the ground.

The two then then place a foot behind them and place the hands forward. They then quickly pull their hands back.

Two stone pillars came of the ground in front of me. Before I could react, I crash right into the stone pillars. While my platform shatter into smaller pieces, I fell down onto the street.

"Ouch. That hurt."

Since I was down, the metalbenders quickly surrounded me. They then unleash their metal cables on me, tying me up. I couldn't use my bending as long as I was tie up.

"Surrender now", yell a metalbender. "You're completely surrounded and you can't bend."

I was about to yell, saying how I won't surrender, but before I could, someone has toss a couple of cans at us. The cans then let out a thick clouds of white smoke.

"What going on", yell the metalbenders.

Distracted by the smokes, the metalbenders fail to notice a person running toward them. The person sneak up behind the metalbenders and started fighting them. He was even bending. He punch one in the face and knock him out. After knocking out one metalbender, he ran up to another metalbender and kick him right in the head.

"Zua! Do you know what going on?"

"No. I can appear see through the smoke."

After seeing the nonbender defeat a few more metalbender, a second person jump in before me.

"Get down", the person yell.

Without haste, I jump onto the ground.

"Axa! Get down!"

The person who was beating metalbender then jump onto the ground.

The person in front of me then started firebending. Fires shot out from her hands as she started forming a circle. She repeated this process until she clap her hands together and stretch them out. The circle of fire spread out, hitting all the metalbenders. They lost their balance and free me.

"Get us out of here", the two yell.

"A please would be appreciate", I murmur to Zua before making a hole in the ground.

The three of us jump inside and I close the entrance. Finally, Zua and I has lost the metalbenders.

We got out a few streets away from the metalbenders.

After I was done catching my breath, I face my saviors.

It turn out my saviors were two girls. The girl closer to me, the nonbender I think, was medium-height, has long, black hair in a ponytail, and wore a green shirt and dress. Her shirt was little, yellow pads on both shoulder.

Her partner, and my other savior, was tall, with her dark hair in two pigtails. She wore a dark red jacket and pant. The jacket has picture of flames on it.

"Uh...Thanks", I said. "for rescuing me. Mean a lot."

"No problems", reply the nonbender. "Happy to help another fellow runaway."

"...Yes. Yes, I am a runaway. I ran away from home."

"What", said Zua.

I "gently" bump him with my elbow.

"Just go along with it", I whisper. "These two may be able to help us in finding Mian."

"Who are you talking to", ask the firebender.

"No one! No one at all! Just talking to myself!"

I shove Zua deeper into my pack.

"Sorry pal."

I then turn around to face the girls again.

"Okay. Uh...*clearing throat*...*cough*...So...So my name is Richi. What are your names?"

The nonbender was the first to start.

"Hello. My name is Axa. This is my sister, Zurain."

"Hi", Zurain simply said, raising her hand a bit.

"Hello."

"So", ask Axa. "What did you do that got you in so much trouble with the police?"

"Oh, I just took out a few members of the Triple Threat Triad. Still don't know why they called the Triple Threat?"

"Wait", interrupt Zurain. "You defeat members of the Triple Threat. How?"

"I use earthbending. Anyway, if those are the attacks everyone in Republic City is worried about, then wow. This city must not be filled with strong bender."

The sisters look at each other for a bit.

"Attacks? What attacks? By who?"

"An... acquaintance of my told me about attacks that been happening here in the city. Neither of you two know about the attacks?"

Again, the sisters look at each other.

"There has been attacks on Republic City but it doesn't have anything to do with the Triple Threat. In facts, its didn't involve any of the triad in the city."

"What? So those guys weren't part of the attacks."

"No. They were just doing all they always do."

"Get their butts kick?"

"No. Steal money from honest, hard-working people."

"Hm. I was close. But beside the point, if the triads ain't responsibility for the attacks, then who is attacking Republic City?"

"Robots" Zurain said suddenly. Believe it or not, I actually forgot about her for awhile.

"Robots are attacking the city."

"Robots?"

Zurain look up and down the streets before speaking.

"Follow us."

"Where are we going?"

"Home."

7: Chapter 6: The Bending Bots

A/N Enjoy and Please Leave a Review

Zurain:

Richi, Axa, and I all walk toward our house, an old, abandoned warehouse by the dock.

The warehouse was large, with rusty pieces of metals everything. The windows were all broken, the inside was a mess, and since it was by the dock, it stink of rotten fish. Yet despite all of these, Axa and I can still called this warehouse home.

We all enter the warehouse through the side door. When Richi enter, I has expected him to insult our home, but instead, he said something completely unexpected.

"Awesome", he shouted. "This place is awesome."

"What?"

"What what? This place is awesome. I mean, despite the mess and rotten fish smell, it not bad."

"Okay."

"This kid is weird", I though.

Richi:

"How is this place "awesome", ask Zua from my pack.

"I mean...-"

"Zua, this warehouse may not be in it's most prime state, but I bet to these two, there not a place anywhere else they want to live. Beside, I trying to polite."

I then turn away from Zua to Axa and Zurain.

"So. How long have you two live here?"

"Almost 10 years", said Axa.

"Wow. Really?"

"Yeah really", declare Zurain. "You got a problem?"

"No. Just, I mean, where do you sleep?"

I look around the warehouse once more.

"I don't see any beds."

"Second floors", said Axa. "We keep the ground floor looking like a mess so no one get to interested, but as for the second floor, we got all the comforts of home."

"Beds", I ask.

Axa nodded.

"Sofa?"

Axa nodded.

"Fine", I thought. "It's time to think of unless things."

"What about a huge painting? Not for hiding anything but just for decoration."

Once again, Axa nodded.

"What about-"

"We have everything and anything you can think of", said Zurain suddenly.

"Beside, didn't you come here to learn about the robots attacking the city?"

"Actually no, you invited me here to tell me about the robots. Remember?"

*sigh*

"Yeah. Let talk upstairs."

"Sweet."

The three of us quickly went up some steps, through an offices and into an old, broken down door.

Through the old, broken door was a whole new room. Completely different from the rest of the building.

The room was big, with two medium-sized beds in one corner. The wall of the room was painted white, with about three different painting on one wall. Close to the beds were two desks, along with a door.

"What in that door", I ask.

"The hallway leading to the bathroom and kitchen", Zurain reply.

"Wow. When you said you and your sister have every home comfort I could think of, you won't kidding."

"No we were kidding. Anyway, sit down and we'll you about the robots."

Wanting to learn about the robots as fast as I could, I just sat right down in the floor.

"You know we could go and sit in the kitchen, right", ask Axa.

"I know but I really wanted to hear about the robots sooo..."

"So about the robots", said Zurain sitting on one of the bed in the corner.

"The robots were originally small, thin, and nonbender. They started attacking the city a few months ago. At first, it was-"

"Wait! What do you mean by "nonbender"?"

"When the robots first attack, they couldn't bend. Now, they can."

"The robots can bend?! That impossible!"

"Yeah, impossible. Why don't you try telling that to all the people who nearly died fighting them?"

Zua:

Despite begin in a Richi's pack, I could almost sense his feeling of shock. While he was at the camp practicing and playing, people here were dying, trying to protect their home and the people they care about.

"Back to the point", Zurain said, ignoring Richi's sudden change.

"At first, it was just small groups of them. Attacking small shops around the city. The metalbenders could were able to defeat them easily. Now, the gotta stronger. The robots are tall, muscular-build, and can bend any of the elements. They also now attacking major buildings. Police station. Homes of some of Republic City's most important families. Even the building where President Cocaneta work."

"Hey", shouted Axa. "A thought just occur!"

"What is it", ask Zurain.

"Why do you care about the robots so much?"

"Oh! I...A friend of my was wounded by the robots. I was wondering if you knew something about them that I didn't."

"Really? Who your friend?"

"His name is Zua. He and I have been friend for almost ten years."

"Thanks for dragging me into this", I murmur to Richi.

While Richi and girls kept talking, I started to munch on some more foods in his pack. During my search, the ground started shaking.

"Hey", I shouted. "What going on?!"

Richi was trying to get up while the ground was shaking, but as he was, he stumble around and was about to fall. Thinking fast, I fell out from Richi's pack.

As I fell out from Richi's pack, the girls scream.

"What is that", Axa yell.

Zurain was about to shoot me with fire but before she could, Richi got back on his feet.

"No", he said.

"Relax! Calm down! He's a friend! A small, little, chubby, spirit friend ."

"Hey, I am not chubby", I declare.

"And beside, we have bigger issue! Like what going on?! What is the ground shaking?!"

"It's another attack", reply Zurain.

Everyone rush out the room and look out a broken window. We saw many large pillars of stone rush out from the ground.

"Richi, look up there!"

We all look up and saw that sky was filled with police airships. Metalbenders were constantly jumping out from the airships. They must be battling the robots.

"Let go", Richi said.

Richi and I were about to leave when Axa stop us.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to help the metalbenders. If it is true and these robots are as powerful as you said, then they need my help!"

"Why? What are you? The avatar?"

"Nope! I am not the avatar! But that doesn't mean I can just leave those people to fight the robots themselves! Those robots are a threat to the city! Now, let go!"

Axa and Zurain look at each other for a bit.

"No", Zurain yell.

"What? You don't want to help."

"It's not our problem."

"Not our problem"! This threaten the whole city! The city you two live in! This is everyone's problems!"

"Let the polices handle it! They be okay!"

"Fine! If you two don't want to help, then I go alone. Come on Zua!"

Richi then left the warehouse, with me following along. He never even look back at the girls or the warehouse.

Richi:

It was complete chaos when I finally reach the fight. The metalbenders were trap behind a walls of stone. Ever once in awhile, they were lower their wall to toss rocks at the enemies. Zurain wasn't joking.

The robots the polices were battling were huge and muscular-build. They were sliver colored, with a weird symbol on their chest. Many of them were earthbender, trying to destroy the police's defense wall. A few were airbending and firebending.

As I enter the fight, one of the robot saw me and push me away with his airbending. I flew back, my back hitting the ground hard.

With me down, the robot who attack me charge toward me and jump high into the sky. Before he could do anything, I smash my fist into the ground and pick up a small boulder. I quickly threw it at the robot and it fell down onto the street, defeated and destroyed.

"Well that one evil robots defeated" Zua said.

"Yeah. But a whole lot more undefeated", I reply.

Thinking with haste, I dash toward the robots. As I got closer, I leap into the air and landed hard on the ground. My landing send waves of earth into the robots and they all stumble around.

With the robots stumbling around, I quickly started to took down as many robots as I could. I stomp on the ground and many small boulders come out from the ground. I kick and punch them toward the robots, and the robots who were strike were destroyed automatically.

Despite quickly destroyed many of the robots, they were still many. The robots who remain then notice me and begun to attack. Before I could even defense, I was attack by air, water, earth, and even fire.

*whoosh* *splash* *rumble* *burning*

No matter how hard I try, I could barely stand. I was constantly getting blow away by gusts of a wind, splash by some water, hit by rocks, or even burn by fire.

After what felt forever, I suddenly wasn't getting attack anymore.

I couldn't see clearly, with the waters and dirt in my eyes, but from the look of it, someone has stop the robots from attacking.

At first, I thought it was Axa and Zurain who could to help but I was wrong. The robots were begin push back. By both the metalbenders and someone who was waterbending. I look behind me and saw Kaixsin, with the metalbenders.

Kaixsin:

"What is Richi doing here", I thought as I bended water from a nearby steam.

I turn the water into an ice spike and threw it at one of the robot. The ice spike went right through the robots, destroying it in the process.

I kept on repeating the process until one robot copy me. It waterbended some water into an ice spike and threw it right toward me. Lucky for me, a metalbender saw what was about to happen and stop it. She use her metal cable to grab at the ice spike and threw it right back at the robot. It went right through the robot's chest.

"Thanks Chief!"

"No problem."

We went back to fighting the robots.

Eventually, we were able to fend the robots off. We destroyed many, but a few escape.

"Follow them", command the chief.

She and the metalbenders all follow after the escaping robots, leaving me with Richi.

Looking at Richi, I knew he would need some healing. Taking some more waters from the steams, I use it to heal his bruises.

"Oww-Ahhhhh", Richi said. "Wow. That feeling better."

"Yeah", I reply. "When I started learning waterbending, my mother also teach me healing. She learn from my grandmother, and my grandmother learn but Katara."

"Katara? Who mean Avatar Aang's wife?"

"Yes. Avatar Aang's wife."

"And your grandmother? Avatar Korra?"

*chuckle*

"You don't listen that well, do you?"

"I try and listen but something, my mind just stop and ignore everything. Isn't that right, Zua?"

The same little, yellow spirit from before appear from his pack.

"Yeah. Trust me. You have to tell Richi the same thing about five times before you can be certain he actually remember it."

*chuckle*

"Hmm. Well, try and listen this time, will you?"

"I try but I not making any promise."

"Is that the best you can offer?"

"Yeah, it kind of is."

"Fine. Anyway, I learn how to heal people from my mother, Mian, who learn from Avatar Korra, my grandmother and your previous incarnation."

"Tell me about her."

"Who?"

"Your grandmother. She sound like an interesting person."

"Yeah, thought I never really met her. She die before I was born."

"Oh, really?"

Yeah. Anyway, back to the story, Avatar Korra learn from Katara, Avatar Aang's wife, who was the best in the world."

After I was done healing Richi, I help him to his feet.

"Thanks you for healing..and for story time."

"Welcome. So, what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean what am I doing here? I'm here to help with the attacks. By the way, it would have been helpful if you and your mother told me about the robots who can bend!"

"Sorry. But back to you, what are you doing here? From what I heard, Mori would rather bring back the 100 Years War than let you out of the camp."

"Okay, let be clear about two things. One, Mori would not want to bring back the 100 Years War, despite begin from the Fire Nation. Two, he just want keep his promise. Korra ask Mori to protect the next avatar, me, and he promise her him do his best. After all, he and Korra were friend."

"Yeah well, he can't protect you forever."

"Try telling him that. I actually has to runaway just to help."

"What?!"

"Wait! Did I just said runaway?"

"Yes you did", Zua said.

"You runaway!"

"I has to! I has no other choice and it sounded like you really needed my help."

"Well, do you at least have a plan? I mean, you're in Republic City with no money and no friends."

"Don't worry. Zua and I do have a plan."

"Okay. What your plan?"

Instead of saying anything, Richi just stood still. With his mouth open.

"Well, until you and Zua do form a plan, there someone you want to meet."

I grab Richi's hand and started pulling him along.

"Wait! Who are you going to meet?"

"Oh, someone you may and may not know."

"What?"

"Just follow me. You'll see."
