(Korra X Male reader)
'We were shamed, Noatak was no longer the leader of the cult and I no longer had power in the council... So I am going to ( or already have by the time you receive this letter ) blow up our boat. So we will both be dead. So do...
Ko glared at (Your name), crossing his arms. "Then take me with ya! I know this desert betta' then anyone!"
"But... I'll be doing some dangerous wor-"
"Like wha'? That won't phase me!"
"Well... I- fine." (Your name) murmured with a sigh, "It would be good to have a bit of company for once."
Ko's glare turned into a wide grin, and with a large jump into the air, he whooped with glee.
...
Ko had decidedly tied (Your name) to the sand crafts mast in order to keep him 'safe', but (Your name) was sure that the man was getting a little too much humor out of the entire situation.
"Are we there yet?" (Your name) whined, if only to get on Ko's nerves.
"...(Your name), we have only been travelling for five minutes."
(Your name) gave Ko a small smirk, before closing his eye's and exaggeratedly sighing. "Your so slow Ko. This is taking FOREVER!"
Ko tried to seem serious, but there was a twinge of a smile on his lips. "Try sand bending this craft and your fat ass. Trust me, its not as easy as it looks."
(Your name) opened his eyes again, giving Ko an eye roll. "Its only the badge that's holding me down..." Old man Kanto had given (Your name) a broach that had a gold border, emerald within the border and a golden flying boar in the middle. It was a fine piece of Jewelry to say the least.
Ko rolled his eye's again, "While you got your fancy broach, Kanto gave me his guitar, and for him to do that is a true honor."
(Your name) couldn't help but agree, as the older man was always seen playing the instrument. "Yeah, he must really like you in order to give you hi- HOLY SPIRIT SHIT!!!"
Ko quickly glanced around and let out his own shriek as he noticed the the giant shark zooming towards them at a rapid pace. "Hold on!" He exclaimed as he started to sand bend at full speed.
"Wha-" It wasn't hard for (Your name) to hold on, after all, he was tied to the pole. He gritted his teeth as he watched the shark coming towards them, coming further and further out of the sand. "GO FASTER KO!"
"I'M TRYING!" and indeed he was, moving his arms in faster motions, eye's fully concentrating. He slowed down his bending, much to (Your name)'s dismay.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" (Your name) yelled, suddenly fearing for his life. So this was how it was. He was going to die with his first ever friend as they get gobbled up by a sand shark. "I -"
"SHUT UP!!!" Ko exclaimed, and just as the shark was just about to come upon them, Ko vividly moved his hands, causing several sand spikes to to impale the shark from the side. The Shark let out a pained roar as it quickly dived back into the sand, and Ko grinned slightly, and started up the sand raft with another surge of speed. "Yeah boy! Woo whooo!"
(Your name) was gaping in shock, his pallor as pale as a sheet. He turned towards Ko and watched him with wide eye's. "Is that a normal tactic?"
"Naw mate, the usual tactic is to try and ride away. But I'm more of a head on sort of person-" Ko groaned as he felt a slight rumble underneath the craft. "Okay, so Mr Sharky is angry... and he's underneath us."
Just as the words left his mouth, a force threw them into the air, craft and all, and (Your name) suddenly noticed that Ko had some rope tied around his waist and to the exact same pole that (Your name) himself was tied to, watching as gravity took over and Ko and the entire ship started to fall, the young man waving his arms in some trained motion.
As they fell towards the sharks opened mouth, Ko suddenly sand bended enough of the sedimentation from the ground that it formed some sort of barrier in the sharks mouth, preventing them from falling in. Ko was still bending as he fell face first onto the deck, his bending falling for only half a second (if that) before strongly reforming in full force. The shark tried to close its jaw but to no avail, and started to sink into the sand. It reared its gigantic head, trying to shake off the sand bender- but Ko merely planted his feet firmly to the deck with the use of sand, which slithered over the sides of the ship and towards his feet.
Ko then shocked (Your name) when what he could only assume were spikes of sand penetrating the sharks mouth. At least if the creatures screams were anything to go by. It shook its head even more so, falling faster and faster, and before they were taken into the sand with the creature, Ko sand bended them out of the mouth- landing heavily on the sand and speeding away.
(Your name) would never see Ko-Lek the same way again, and a small smile formed on his face- both out of relief and in awe. Ko was a force to be reckoned with.
Ko looked towards (Your name), whipping perspiration off his brow with a grin. "I wasn't delegated to the Chiefs sand sailor for nothin'."
And (Your name) couldn't agree more.
