Avatar: The New Era [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 8: Memories

A/N: Flameo, Hotmen! It's been a long time since I updated. Well, things started to slow down since our finals is going to end tomorrow! I'll be posting another chapter on Saturday to make up for the long break :D but anyways, here is a very short chapter to show you how Book 1 will go! ;)

"Get them in the E.R.!" a nurse shouted in front of the hospital's entrance. Doctor's we're running around, trying to check for injuries among the Agni Kai patients.
"Hang in there, Tokku. I don't want to lose my only friend." Tears dripped down Kurana's eyes as she watched the waterbender get rushed in the emergency room. Several hours have passed and the running doctors lessened by the minute. The Avatar was sitting right next to The Chief, not saying a single word to each other, when a soft warm voice broke the silence.

"Why the long face, sweetheart?" an old woman stood in front the two.
"Asami!" Kurana's eyes filled with joy as she stood up and hugged the woman who took her in "It's so nice to see you! How are you doing?"

The CEO returned the hug "I've been doing great, I recently passed on the 'Sato throne' to Bolin's daughter. So now...I have my whole life to stay by your side." She smiled and brushed the Avatar's hair out of her face. Kurana let out a tiny squeak and hugged her stepmother again.

Asami waved at Mako and was returned with a nod. "I heard the news from one of my White Lotus Sentries, who were these men?" Asami finally asked.

"Well..." Mako looked at her "we honestly have no details as of now. They're anonymous and the police records don't show any man named, Hakoro. He wasn't a criminal. He's new." The Chief stated with anger in his words.

"Alright then, I'll leave the police with the investigation. But to make sure the safety of everyone, I'll have several Sentries around Kurana and the station." The former CEO's motherly attitude took over.

"No. We can't just let Sentries roam around outside the building, the Xhu Fu would think of us as a high priority target." Mako protested.

Asami pinched the bridge of her nose "Okay, I'll leave 3 Sentries around Kurana. Since she still havent finished her training."

The Avatar smiled and glanced at Mako "About that...Sifu passed me as a student! I'm a firebender now!" Asami jumped and gave the young girl a kiss on the forehead "Oh my! This is great news! But still, young missy, the Sentries will be on your tail." The older woman placed her hands on her hips but smiled afterwards. Kurana pouted and crossed her arms.

The doctors told the trio that the Agni Kai Triads are still unconscious but they will fully recover soon, however, there is one person who wasn't asleep. The doctor guided Mako, Asami and Kurana towards a room in the end. A young man with several gashes and burns was lying down the bed facing towards them.

"You're awake!" The Avatar rushed towards the man and hugged him. The man squinted his eyes to see who was with him and he immediately saw the Chief and Asami.

"Damn it! How many weeks do I have to stay inside bars, Chief?" Tokku blurted out ignoring the woman hugging him.

"Don't worry, I have other plans for you. For now, why don't you take a look who's by your side." Mako grunted.

The waterbender turned his head to his side and saw the woman he met at the market. "Is that you, K-Kurana?"

"Hey, how you doing? I didn't know you were in the Triads." She placed her hands on top of Tokku's.

The young man blushed "Uhh...I'm fine...wait, what are you doing here? Were you in the fight earlier?" He asked.

Kurana nodded "I was with Mako when he was asked to go to a an emergency with the Agni Kai. Then, this police officer saw you and I told them to immediately get you in the ambulance." she gripped his hand tighter.

Tokku stared lovingly at the young woman's eyes when a cough broke the staring. "Erhmm...Mako and I will go outside and leave you two with some privacy." Asami winked at Kurana, who's cheeks turned pink. Before Asami headed out she turned around to face the waterbender "You know what, you kinda look like Master Kai!". Mako tugged on Asami's sleeve to drag her out of the room.

"Hey! They were starting to get cute together!" She growled and her eyes gleamed with sweetness.

"Enough of that! Let's talk about the incident at the warehouse. I kinda figured out something." The Chief placed his hands in his pockets and started tapping his foot.

"I was thinking of what that Hakoro guy said. He was saying that they were going to take back what was rightfully theirs. I thought about it for a long time then, it hit me! He was a firebender and what did the fire nation lose?" He asked Asami.

"...the land..." Asami's eyes widened at Mako's keen idea.

"Correct. He wants to take back Republic City for the sake of the fire nation."
