Avatar: The New Era [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 10: Nightfall

The fighting ceased. Everyone was tying up the footmen when Mako looked around to check if Kurana and Tokku was still there. He found no trace of them, only the raven-haired woman was there. Asami heard loud thuds from a distance "What's that? An earthquake?" She looked at the surrounding officers to check if anyone was earthbending.

"Sifu Mako!" a familiar voice rung behind him. Kurana was riding on top of a giant armadillo-lion and Tokku was nervously wrapping his arms around the Avatar.

The Chief stood in astonishment "Wh-where did y-you-"

"Get this guy? He saved me from a bunch of Xhu Fu guys." Kurana interrupted.

"SHE'S CRAZY! THAT THING SMASHED ONTO A VAN!" The young waterbender shouted.

Kurana and Mako laughed at the frightened boy. The Chief noticed that the creature was biting on a block of ice that had a head sticking out of it. The armadillo-lion lowered his head and dropped the frozen man on the ground as the two riders unmounted from his back. He signaled his men to take the frozen man to custody.

"What happened to you two?!" Asami yelled at the back, running towards her adopted daughter. Kurana stumbled on an unexpected hug from Asami. She giggled and returned the hug back

"Okay, mom. Don't freak out. I...uhh...I kinda was kidnapped-" she scratched her head.

"WHAT?! TOKKU!" the raven-haired woman gave the waterbender a menacing look "I TOLD YOU-"

"MOM! He saved me." the Avatar held her panicking mother's hand.

Asami calmed down "Okay. I'm sorry, sweetie. I was just so worried about you." she hugged the younger girl again.

A cough disturbed the reunion of the mother and daughter "Can you please explain to me why you brought back this gigantic armadillo-lion?" Mako pointed at the beast.

"Oh right! His name is Soma and he's staying with me." Kurana gave the Chief a cheerful smile.

"Wh-what?! You can't even fit that inside the quarters!" The Sifu protested.

"She can stay at my house...if you want" Tokku said while caressing Soma's head.

Asami raised a brow "What?! Of course not! She's not staying with you alone!"

"Who said I was living alone?" Tokku smirked

"Don't worry, mom. It's gonna be like a sleepover! Since I haven't experienced that...at all..." Kurana trailed off

"Ugh...okay" the raven-haired woman pinched the bridge of her nose "but I'm going to send a few sentries with you."

Kurana pouted "Fine."

"Okay, don't make this hard. Tell me where we can find Hakoro" a police officer was interrogating the man arrested.

"WHAT?! YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN STOP US?! DON'T YOU GET IT?! YOU CAN NEVER WIN!" The chained-up man laughed hysterically.

He paused and a nasty grin crept among his lips "He's everywhere. He knows your next move. The Xhu Fu's Eyes are all around you. Victory is neigh."

The police officer punched the man and strapped a metal plate across his lips. He went out of the interrogation room and before he could close the door, the man muttered.

"I'll...uhhh...tell y-you a little so-something, boy..."

The officer turned around "I'm listening."

"Warrior's Isle"

"Chief! We got something."
