The legend of Korra: The Sansar Returns

Chapter 5

The night was calm as I laid in my bed fast asleep. Until suddenly I heard a noise coming from outside. My eyes popped open as I shoot up in my bed alert. Soon after, an Equalist chi blocker breaks through the window, while two more break in through the door. I then, quickly jump out of my bed and kick a downward fire arc through the air. I kick another arc in the air toward them. Unfortunately the chi blockers dodge it and closer after me, but I blasts two shots of fire to keep them at bay. The chi blockers avoid her attacks, while one leaps up in the air while spinning like a top in an attempt to kick my from above, but I blocks the hit with her arm, and fires several fists of fire. While I was distracted from keeping two of the chi blockers away, fox masked chi blocker somersaults and uses his electric whip and electrocutes me. Then out from the shadows, Amon slowly comes forward. Reaching his hand toward my face.

Immediately I awoke as sweat drops beaded down from my face. I place my hand over my chest, trying to calm myself down.

Later that morning

Inside City hall the representatives were seated around a "U" shaped table sharing in discussion about the recent events throughout the last few days.

"There is a madman running around our beloved city, threatening to tear it apart." Tarrlok spoke, "We need to create a task force whose sole mission is to find Amon and bring him to justice."

Tarrlok was appointed as the chairman of the United Republic City council a year ago. From the Northern Water tribe, he was smart, fair minded, and well like by the general public.

"Absolutely not." Tenzin opposed, "A move that aggressive would only further divide benders and nonbenders."

"I'll have to agree with Councilman Tenzin," agreed Lady Haruka delegate Councilwoman from the Kyoshi Island district. Second oldest daughter to Sansar Amaya and Haru, she's seen diplomacy first hand as she became the first female delegate of Kyoshi Island to serve. "Think about the impact it would bring to all none benders, it will only bring more chaos."

"Tarrlok, I'm inclined to agree with your proposal, but who would even head up such a task force?" questioned a Fire nation Council member.

Tarrlok stood and bowed, "It would be my honor and privilege to accept such a duty."  

Haruka narrowed her eyes, unconvinced by his proposal, "This is just another one of your ploys to gain more power, isn't it?" Tenzin questions accusingly, pounding the table lightly. 

"All I'm trying to do is help. Think back, forty-two years ago, Republic City was threatened by another dangerous man. Yakone. Your father and Lady Haruka's mother weren't afraid to deal with him head-on."

That didn't sit well with Tenzin as he stood up from his seat, "This.. is a completely different situation, and how dare you compare yourself to Avatar Aang and Sansar Amaya!" he said angrily, pointing an accusing finger at Tarrlok.

"Amon is not going to stop with the bending triads." Tarrlok said as he turns to look at the other three representatives,  "Eventually, he will come for all us benders. Our friends, our families. Vote for this task force and I will stop Amon before it's too late. All in favor?"

Tarrlok raises his hand and the Fire Nation representative raises her hand as well. After a brief glance at each other, the Southern Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom representatives also raise their hands. Leaving Tenzin and Haruka with their hands down. With that, Tarrlok slams a gavel down on a platform to close the meeting and smiles mischievously at Tenzin and Haruka.

Later that evening

Korra and I were busy practicing airbending stances. Suddenly the radio that was playing light music becomes static,
