The Spirit Walker ( A Legend Of Korra Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - The Plan

     "Sit down." Korra said, gesturing to her bed. "Are you hungry?" Anya shook her head as she sat down. Korra chuckled. "I only asked that because I have a secret stash of snacks in here." She said. Korra opened her bottom drawer and pulled out a seaweed cookie. "You sure?" She asked. Anya nodded. Korra chuckled again. "You know, you don't have to be so shy all the time." "Can't help it." Anya mumbled. "Well, I heard when you and Jinora were explaining to Tenzin about what happened when you got kidnapped." Korra explained. "It didn't sound like you acted shy in front of the kidnappers. Why is that?" Anya sighed. "I couldn't be shy then." She said. "If I was, then something bad would've happened to me and Jinora. I couldn't let that happen." "So you're confident when you need to be." Korra realized. "That's good. You're strong." "Yeah, I guess." Anya said quietly. "Exactly how strong do you think you are?" Korra questioned. Anya looked up at her. "Listen," Korra started. "I have a plan to take down The Outsiders. I'm going to need some help though. It's going to be dangerous." Anya smirked. "What's the plan?"

      It was the day of the Pro Bending Championship. Korra, Bolin, and Mako were in the locker room getting ready. "You sure your arm is good bro?" Mako questioned. "I'm fine Mako!" Bolin replied. "And I'm really excited for this." "Relax." Korra told him. "Bolin won't push himself too hard. Right?" She looked pointedly at Bolin. "Yeah." Bolin replied. "Totally." "Fine." Mako said with a sigh. "Come on, we have a match to win."
    The ring announcer stood in the middle of the platform. "Welcome to the Pro-Bending Championship!" He exclaimed. The crowd cheered. "Introducing, The Future Industries Fire Ferrets!" The crowd cheered again as Mako, Bolin, and Korra walked out onto the platform, smiling and waving. "And, The Red Sands Rabaroos!" Mako and the Rabaroos firebender shook hands, and the two teams were off! What an explosive start! Welcome folks, I'm Shiro Shinobi and I'm your announcer for tonight's game! The Ferrets quickly advance into Rabaroo territory and are holding nothing back. Nice sprawl there by Mako. Bolin strikes, Ula dodges, and all three Rabaroos are down. The Fire Ferrets easily take round one! Korra smiled. "We're on fire tonight!" She exclaimed. "Yeah!" Bolin agreed. "We took that first round in less than five minutes!" The bell rang to signal the start of the second round. The Rabaroos are looking for payback and they go straight after Bolin. With his recent shoulder injury, the Rabaroos must be looking for an opportunity to take him out. Their hope is short lived as Korra comes to his defense and water-whacks Umi back into zone two! The Ferrets are on fire tonight and they win round two! The lights flickered as the bell rang to start round three. Just some minor electrical problems folks, nothing to worry about! The refs say we're clear to go on! "That was strange." Tenzin said. "I'm sure it's fine, Dad." Jinora told him. Anya just stayed focused on the match. She knew what was happening. With the Rabaroos down two rounds they'll need a knockout to win, and with the way the Fire Ferrets are playing I don't see that happening. These Ferrets are working together like a well-oiled bending machine! Bolin passes Adi back into zone two and the Ferrets get the green light to advance. The Rabaroos are just fighting to stay at their feet at this point. Out goes Adi, and Ula, and Umi! The Fire Ferrets win! Mako, Korra, and Bolin stood in the middle of the ring as the trophy presenter came down. "Citizens!" He exclaimed, "Your champions! The Future Industries Fire Ferrets!" The presented handed over the trophy and the prize money. The three teens were celebrating when suddenly the lights shut off, except for on the bending platform. Audible gasps could be heard from the spectator seats. "What's going on?" Ikki asked. A long, thick wire lowered down into the middle of the arena. Suddenly people started sliding down it. The first guy who came down pushed the trophy presenter into the pool below. He was wearing all black clothes. His hoodie had a silver symbol on the back. "The Outsiders." Tenzin realized. He looked to his family. "You all stay here. I'm going to find Lin." Mako went to make a move on the guy, but as soon as he raised his fist he heard, "You attack me, and we'll kill everybody here." Mako stood back with Bolin and Korra, not wanting to risk innocent lives. The man grabbed the microphone. "Welcome everyone." He spoke. "I hope you enjoyed the match. You should take into consideration that we waited until after the match to do this." As he spoke, more people were coming down the rope behind him. "We are known as The Outsiders. We are a group who's main purpose is to protect the health and well-being of all of Republic City's citizens. That is... it's citizens who fit our requirements." While he was talking, some of the people coming down the wire walked over to Mako, Bolin, and Korra. "Get down on your knees and put your hands behind your heads. Now." He ordered. "If you try anything, we'll kill you." The three teens obeyed. Korra looked around. Not counting the man speaking, who appeared to be the leader, there were five other people down on the platform. "If I could get two of them out of the ring, maybe Bolin and Mako would be able to handle the other two." She thought. Hoping as much as she possibly could, Korra got up quickly and pushed two of the members into the pool surrounding the platform. Luckily, Bolin and Mako saw this opportunity and used it to each grab one other person. Bolin successfully got his off the platform, Mako's however was stronger and had no trouble staying on. The leader was no longer speaking, he was too fighting. Anya looked at Jinora. "We have to help Korra!" She exclaimed. Jinora nodded without hesitating. Without a word, she grabbed Anya, jumped off the balcony, and used her airbending so that they landed on the platform. They could hear Pema and the other kids screaming their heads off at this, but they ignored it. The two started to help the other teens, but quickly found that the members of this group were stronger than them. One of them got his arms around Anya. "Pull her up!" The leader yelled. "No!" Anya yelled, kicking. It didn't do her any good. Halfway up the wire, she started to panic. This wasn't part of the plan.

Two days earlier

      "Just jumping to help after I mention dangerous, huh?" Korra asked, laughing. Anya smirked again. "I like to take risks." Korra smiled. "Have you heard about the attack at the Pro-Bending arena that happened a few years ago by Amon and the Equalists?" She asked. Anya nodded. "This will play out something like that." Korra explained. "I heard from an inside source that the Outsiders are going to attack the day of the Championship match. Their method of attack is just like Amon's. The only chance we have of finding anything out about them is to get them to take us back to the headquarters." "So, you want us to get captured?" Anya questioned. "Exactly." Korra replied. Anya brought her knees up to her chest and folded her arms over them. "I know this might be hard for you." Korra said. "But don't worry. I'll be with you the whole time, and I won't let anything happen to you." "Promise?" Anya asked. "Promise." Korra replied.

     This wasn't part of the plan. "Korra!" Anya called out. Korra turned around and her eyes widened in shock. "No!" She exclaimed. "Anya!" Bolin called. He tried to use an earth disk to knock out the Outsider holding Anya. The earth disk fell to the ground as Bolin was hit on the back of the head. "Grab him and go!" The leader called. "We have to get out of here!" Anya could see two men grabbing Bolin and pulling him up the wire. "No!" Korra called. "Anya!" Korra's blood curdling cry was the last thing Anya heard before she was pulled into the airship.

Anya: Are you kidding me? I got captured again?

Me: You have a knack for getting into trouble. It's not my fault.

Anya: Well, you created me so it kinda-

Me: Anyway, I won't be posting for two weeks because I'm going camping-

Anya: Oh great.

Me: -so have fun being kept in suspense. Bye guys!
