The Dual Bender

Chapter 44: Occurrences

Your POV

Damnit, why am I so tired already? I know I've conditioned myself better than this. I look up and see he has a sword in each hand. He charges and begins swinging them wildly at me, I'm barely able to dodge a few of his swings. I stomp and send myself flying backwards away from his barrage. I land hard and feel something a clang of metal. My knee starts killing me again. I look down and see my kneecap on the side of my knee... shit. I hold my breath and hit it back into place. As I do Amon charges again, I try to duck under but fall onto my bad knee. He raises his swords above his head and swings down. I bring my claws up to block it, sparks fly as the metal collides. I close my eyes from the sparks, then feel the force behind his swords disappear. I look up and see he's getting up from the ground, I look to my right and see Korra staring at him with glowing eyes. Her eyes cease glowing and she runs over to me.

Korra: "M/N!? Are you ok?!" I grunt as I sit up.

You: "Yea, thanks for the save." I say as she helps me to a stand.

Korra: "Stay here, I have to go finish him." She says, I nod and lean against the wall. But as she's walking towards him I see him reach for his pocket, and pull out something silver, a dagger.

You: "Korra!!!" I run and jump in front of her as he throws it. I feel a pain in my already busted arm. I hit the ground on it and drive it further into my arm, it twists and carves deeper into my arm when it hits the metal of my bone. I push myself up with my good arm and turn towards Amon. "You... bastard..."

Amon: "No, you are the bastard. You are a monster that should not exist!" I release my claws and stomp, creating a pillar beneath me and launching me towards him. I sink my claws into his chest forcing him into the side of the building. "You... Will pay... One day... one day..." I contract my claws as he falls. Then I do the same as everything goes dark.

*TIMESKIP*

Your POV

I wake up and see a woman in a lab coat standing above me. Then she morphs into Rue and I see needles everywhere. I release my claws and try to cut them down. Until I hear a scream. The scene changes... I'm lying on a bed, with a woman huddled into the corner, I notice she has 3 small cuts on her arm. I look down and see my claws were out on my right hand, while the left was all bandaged up. As I sit up she pushes herself further into the corner.

You: "Hey, I'm sorry about your arm, I-I didn't mean to do that." I say as I retract my claws. I notice the small cut they make in my knuckles doesn't heal. I sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed, immediately feeling nauseous and dizzy.

Woman: "Be careful, I wouldn't move too fast if I were you. You lost a lot of blood during the fight. I'm surprised your still living."

You: "I've been through worse." The woman raises her eyebrow at me. "Just trust me." I say holding my hand up.

Woman: "Oh, I trust you, no one has scars like those unless they've been through quite a bit." She walks over and wraps a sling around my shoulder then puts my arm into it. "Your arm is badly injured. The blade cut and twisted through an old scar you had from before. It already was full of scarred tissue. And this blade not only cut, but twisted its way deeper into your arm. It also cut through quite a bit of muscle, so moving it at all will cause an immense amount of pain. I recommend you wear the sling for 3 weeks and ice it every night judging by what Korra said about you healing rather quickly." I shake my head lightly, but stop quickly when I feel nauseous again.

You: "I can't anymore, how would a normal person heal from this?" She looks at me confused.

Woman: "A normal person would have had their arm removed because of artery damage..."
