Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Tahno and Ming both attack Korra, who gets pushed back into zone three, and the Wolfbats advance. Mako sends out a firebending blast but misses.
"Oh ... a splash-and-clash sends the Avatar to zone three as well."
Mako moves in front of Korra and attempts to fire Bend to protect the Avatar from the triple elemental attack, but both get pushed out of the arena. The bell rings as the Wolfbats gather together.
"It's a knockout! The Wolfbats win the championship for the fourth year in a—-" The announcer halted his words.
The Wolfbats turn around to celebrate their victory. Seemingly oblivious to Korra's save
"Hold on a second, folks!"
Cut to Korra as she clings to the edge of the stadium, holding Mako by the collar.
" Scratch that! The Ferrets are still alive, but just barely."
Korra holds Mako, swinging to throw Mako up onto the arena as she falls and Mako firebends at Tahno, sending him flying and knocking him down as Ming and Shaozu look at him in surprise.
Tahno stands, infuriated, as the bell rings. Mako winks at him smugly while in a fighting pose.
What an unbelievable move! These Ferrets aren't just bending the elements, they're bending my mind.
Tahno glared and growled.
"The underdogs survive to see round two!"
In their break, the Fire Ferrets huddle together before round two.
"What's wrong with these refs?" Korra exclaimed angrily.
"They've been paid off; it's the only explanation. Someone wants us to lose." Mako replied.
"If the Wolfbats are gonna fight dirty, then so should we." Korra declared but Mako wasn't in agreement with her.
"No, we can't! The refs have it out for us. If we're gonna win this thing, it has to be fair and square."
"Argh, that's no fun but ... all right."
Back to the match. The blind referee started round 2.
Mako firebends, only for it to be blocked by Shaozu. Korra water bends at Ming, who blocks it with fire bending. Bolin sends a disk to Tahno, who blocks it with water bending. Tahno waterbends twice at Korra, who dodges and blocks them.
"The opening salvo is a brutal call as both sides give it their all."
Korra starts to water bend, but her right foot gets iced. Tahno kicks her back with water bending.
"But once again, Tahno sneaks in a little ice to get the upper hand."
Bolin sends an earth disc at Shaozu, sending him back. Ming attempts to block a fire-bending blast with a disk but is sent backward. Mako dodges three firebending blasts that were aimed at his head.
"Wowzers! Those look like illegal headshots to me!"
Mako dodges another blast to the head. Bell rings. All players are still on the arena floor.
"Round two will be decided with a tie-breaker!" The announcer declared.
Since it was a tie-breaker, as the rules go, a coin must be tossed to determine how the round will go. As such the referee held a coin and tossed it in the air.
The coin landed back onto his hands revealing its facing heads.
"The Fire Ferrets win the coin toss. Which element do you choose?" The blind referee asked Korra. The latter looked back at her in disgust before saying.
"I'm taking this one. Let's go! You and me, pretty boy!" She pointed at Tahno.
Stepping forward he said: "Thought you'd never ask."
The other team members move away from the center as the center elevates itself with Korra and Tahno in the middle, preparing to fight. Korra and Tahno move around for the first strike.
"Come on, little girl. Give me your best shot." Tahno, the cheater provoked.
On the sideline, Jiran gritted his teeth.
"Never let me see you on the street, Tahno or so help me God I will fucking kill you…" Jiran muttered under his breath. He was starting to get infuriated by Tahno's attitude.
Inside his mind an inner monologue was happening, and Tahno's blatant disrespect to the avatar just further pushed his motivation for his secret goal.
Back to the match.
Korra narrows her eyes and water bends at Tahno. Tahno dodges it but gets hit under the chin by a stream of water. The scene rewinds to show the replay from a farther distance. Korra had sent the first stream of water as a distraction and used her leg to water bend the final blow.
Tahno had attempted to retaliate after Korra's first shot, but Korra's surprise hit to his chin caused his water-bending jet to quickly lose form. Tahno collapses out of the ring and the bell rings.
"Round two goes to the Fire Ferrets!" The referee announces finally having a semblance of vision.
And then with that win on Korra's side, another round began. The final round.
To start, Ming blocks a water blast with a disk before launching another. Shaozu and Tahno both launch their attacks. Cut to Bolin as he dodges a water blast and launches a disk forward. He is hit by a water blast and sends another disk forward.
"The Wolfbats fly out of the gates, swinging with bad intentions."
Shaozu jumps over him and sends out a fire blast.
"The challengers are showing a lot of heart but the champs are starting to find their rhythm now."
Tahno runs and jumps off a pole to dodge an oncoming disk and launches his water blast.
"Can the Ferrets hang in there with the best,"
Ming flips forward and launches a disk at Korra.
"especially when the best is frankly getting a little help from the refs?"
After being hit by the disk she is narrowly missed by another. She launched her water blast at Tahno who blocked it.
"It's all down to this final round!"
Mako punched, sending out multiple quick-fire blasts.
"Mako is leaving it all in the ring"
Ming launched a disk forward before bending up another to bring it behind his back.
"but it looks like Tahno and Ming are up to more shenanigans!"
Ming breaks the disc into Tahno's water and Tahno waterbends the broken disc into three blasts, quickly knocking Bolin and Mako off the arena.
In slow motion, Korra is hit by the water and manages to stay grounded until the rocks reach her and knock her off the arena.
"Oh, this has gone too far! That water had rocks in it!" The announcer shouted.
"Knockout!" The referee announced.
Furiously while waving his hands Tenzin shouted;
"Oh, come on! Those were illegal headshots! Open your eyes, ref!"
"Well, folks it's a controversial call but the Wolfbats notch a nasty knockout to win the match"
"For the fourth year in a row, they'll be crowned tournament champions." He announced with a sigh.
"I barely broke a sweat! Anybody else wanna scrap with the champs?" Tahno took off his helmet and smugly said.
With that, Korra and the two brother's efforts have gone in vain.
However, it seems that this was not the end of the night. On the sideline, Jiran; beside Tenzin, swept his gaze landing on a seemingly normal guy in the background who was putting on an equalist mask slowly.
A small smile crept up his face.
