"Korra and Asami?" Zakeo wondered who those two people were. "Avatar Korra? She was the waterbender for the team." It was obvious that he was on the less informed side of the matter.

"They were.... in the spirit world? So that means... that they both are the avatar? How does that work.. do they both get 2 elements or do they bend them together?" He tilted his head, letting the blood in his brain sit on one side.

"Party!!!!!" Lei shouted as she went to the middle and started to dance. Li stood their with his face in his palm "I don't know her. Just saying" Li said as he pointed at Lei. "Hey Li why don't you and Lei show us your bending you learned?" Mako said as he put his hand on Li's shoulder "Sure can you prepare a small cup of water for me?" Li asked as Mako nodded and went to fill a glass with water. Mako came back with the glass of water "This enough?" Mako asked as Li grabbed the glass "This is perfect" Li said as he walked over to the middle and whispered in Lei's ear, telling her what they are doing. Li and Lei got into position as Li nodded a Mako to get everyone's attention. Mako clapped his hands a couple times "Alright can I have everyone's attention please? Li and Lei are gonna prove for a solid fact that they are both the avatar's by performing a second bending they learned aside from earthbending!" Mako said as Lei began to firebend she shot small flames from her fists and feet in order to not catch the house on fire while Li took the water from the glass and began to waterbend. He gently moved the water in front of him as he sent a cold wind from his mouth to freeze the water in the shape of a Lion-Turtle and handed it to Liang. Li and Lei got in position next to each other and bowed as they had finished.

Kailani smiled at the Avatars and clapped quietly. "Impressive. So you two have learned all of the elements?"

Kailani smiled at the Avatars and clapped quietly. "Impressive. So you two have learned all of the elements?"

"Not all of them" Li said "I only know waterbending and Lei only knows firebending aside from our usual earthbending" he added as he went to sit down in a nearby chair. Lei went straight back to dancing after she did her part of the task.

Kailani nodded.
"You need to find an airbender." She blushed, forgetting her formalities. "oh, sorry. My name is Kailani. I'm from the Northern Water Tribe."

"Pleasure to meet you Kailani, I'm Li" He said as he pointed to his sister [b]"The goof over there is my younger sister Lei." he added "Only by ten minutes!" Lei called out to her brother. Li giggled at his sister's response, he loved hearing her react like that. Li's face went from happy to concerned as what Iroh said was racing through his mind.

Lani tilted her head in concern by the look on his face.
"Li, are you okay?"

Li looked at Kailani was he scratched his head [b]"It's something Iroh said in the spirit world. 'You have a very long journy ahead of you both. However, the journey of you two must not be made alone, for danger is in the journey ahead.' I still don't understand what he meant. I'll have Lei with me and she'll have me." He said. What Iroh had said bugged him. He just couldn't figure it out.

Kailani nodded and smiled.
"Well, I think it is quite easy to understand." she put her hands in her sleeve. "He means you need allies."

"Yeah maybe you're right. Allies. Who is gonna join us on this journey though? We don't even know anyone that would go with us, heck we don't know anyone but our parents." Li said "We're fully alone on this journey. All we have is each other.." Li added as his tone of speaking went slightly depressed. Bolin who was still searching for his movies perks up as he hears the phone ring. "Hello? Oh ok one minute. Mako it's for you!" Bolin said as Mako walked up and took the phone. "Hello? Yes? Ok? Wait. What!" Mako cried as Bolin jumped in the air at his sudden shouting. "What's up bro?" Bolin asked "It's the Police they said a firebender named Shen-Wu is rampaging through Republic City looking for the Avatar! Mako said.

Kailani smiled up at him. "I will be there for you two, if you want. I am new here and could use some friends." She turned her head towards Mako, listening to what he said. She turned back to Li. "That's your cue."

The water dragons stuck together. When the duo avatars did their little display she watched carefully. Mainly to the waterbending, it was a little sloppy, and nowhere near perfect but it still proved that they were in fact, both Avatars. "C'mon guys lets go properly congratulate the Ferrits for their victory." She stated and headed toward Mako and Bolin. "Hey, that was a great match Ferrits. We didn't get a chance to congratulate properly afterward." She smiled. "Yea congrats, but we are going to beat you next time. The champion title will be ours." Dmetric said, half serious half joking. Jess just nodded from behind her teammates remaining quiet.

@LostDestiny "Thank's Water Dragons." Mako said as he panned his view from Luta to Dmetric "Yeah don't think it will be that easy." He added. @2b3heart "Anyways this girl is right, if Shen-Wu wants the Avatar then you should both go out there. Mako said as Li shook his head "That's what he wants Mako he wants us to go running out there to save the day. I have an idea." he says as Mako looked confused "We'll challenge him to an Agni Kai. It's an old firebending tradition from when Avatar Aang was around. A lot of firebenders today still do it as a way of dealing with arguments. Lei will go in to fight in the Agni Kai but when Shen-Wu has his guard down you, Bolin, and I will attack head on." Li said as Mako nodded in agreement "Sounds like a good plan, Li" Mako said.

Liang had blushed ever so slightly as she had been handed the ice statue of a Lion-Turtle. Her friends began immediately teasing her about it - making her blush even more. After a moment of listening to the conversation the former firebender coughed politely and bowed her head meekly at Li. "I... I'm Liang. I-if you didn't catch my name before." She straightened up and managed to gather her composure as she pointed at her friends with her thumb "The big lug of an earthbender over there is Gen and the prettyboy is Shin."

Gen did his best to seem as much uninterested in the situation as he possibly could - it was one of the ways he seemed to entertain himself. "That plan of yours doesn't sound very... avatar-ish..." He smiled very faintly and shrugged. "It's still a good plan though." He hastily added as he got a nasty look from Liang.

Shin shook his head a bit apologetically "I can't depart on a silly adventure - I got things to take care of at the north and..." He smiled his most charming smile. "...I'm just too rusty to fight after 8 years of resting on my laurels." He got a bit disappointed look from Liang and just shook his head "Sorry, captain. I got a kid to look after back home." He ruffled Liang's hair and gave her a little hug.

Liang pouted quite adorably as she was being hugged and shook her head. "Well even if the two of you aren't going to help I sure as heck am!" The black haired woman made a slightly goofy pose. "I don't care if I can't firebend anymore! I've leared a thing or two about chi-blocking and I sure as heck ain't going to let someone wreak havoc on this place!" She gave the two avatars and the rest of the people a bit sheepish little smile, adjusted the prosthetic to behind her back and meekly added "Umh... If you folks accept my help that is. Umh... because... umh... I'd like to help."

Gen sighed and stepped to stand next to Liang. "Damnit... I'm not going to leave the city, but as long as we are here... I don't see any problem in giving you a hand." He glanced over his shoulder at Shin - who's charming little smile had been replaced by a slightly annoyed grimace. After a little staredown the waterbender sighed, lifted his hands to the air and smirked "Fine, fine, twist my hand will you..." He stepped to stand on the other side of Liang. "As long as the trouble stays in Republic City I'll lend you a hand - besides I can't really let Liang get in to trouble, now can I?"

Liang wiped something from the side of her eye and smiled. "Oh, Y-you guys..." She again gathered her composure and gave both of her friends a quick little slap at the back of their heads "Don't make me worry like that, damnit!"

@Marcus XVI "Actually it's a fake plan. I was just kidding." Li said "Why would you joke at a time like this?" Mako yelled "To lighten the mood. What I'm actually gonna do is fight him head on with Lei" Li said as Lei high fives him. "Anyone that is coming along for an adventure afterwards meet us at the docks." Lei said as she grabbed Li's arm and ran outside "We'll be back soon! Li said as him and Lei used Earthbending to create pillars to launch them in the direction of Shen-Wu.



In Republic city Shen-Wu is shooting bolts of lightning at the buildings to destroy them. Each bolt causing each building to crumble. Shen-Wu saw a man who was trying to gather up his potatoes from his cart and grabbed him by his collar. "Where is she? Where is the Avatar?!" He yelled "I don't know I'm just a simple potato merchant!" Potato guy said as Shen-Wu tossed him high into the air "My potatoes!!!!" the man cried as Li swoops in a grabs him placing him down on the ground and to safety. "Get to safety" Li said as the potato guy ran off and Lei lands next to Li. "Whop are you two?" Shen-Wu said "We're the Avatars" Lei said You're both the Avatar? Impossible! Never in the years of the Avatar has there been two avatars!" Shen-Wu said "We're the first twin Avatars!" Li said as Shen-Wu looked a bit closer at them "Wait you both look very familiar. Yes now I remember, you both look like those two earthbenders I killed!" He said as Li and Lei's eyes widen. "W-What did you say?" Li asked "Yeah you look like this earthbender couple I killed on my way to Republic City. He replied "No...no you can't..." Li said "They can't be dead. They can't be." Lei added, their eyes began to get a faint white glow "Nooooooooo!!!!" They both cried as their eyes went a complete white and the earth around them began to tremble. They have gone into the Avatar State. My work here is done Shen-Wu said as he slipped out while they were distracted.

Kailani thought it best that she didn't follow the Avatars. They needed to do this on their own. But an adventure did sound fun. She thanked the two Fire ferrets for the party and decided to head to the docks.

Liang sprung in to action immediately and ran after the twin Avatars. Her friends followed quickly behind her without asking a word.

The trio managed to reach Li and Lei just as Shen-Wu was making his escape. "You two! Get that guy! Just go, I'll look after the Avatars!" The black haired woman exclaimed with notable worry in her tone.

Shin and Gen did their best to catch the fleeing firebender, but unfortunately he was too fast for them.

Liang took a deep breath to calm herself down - she had read stories about the previous Avatars and had at least some idea how dangerous the Avatar State was. "Y-you both n-need to c-calm down..." She stated a bit nervously. The former firebender knew she had to be extremely quick if she'd need to rely on chi-blocking. "Please... c-calm down. Th-there are civilians out here and they might get hurt..." She did her best not to let her growing panic show.

Oh, Jin did so love a party.

Parties were so easy to work, it was like being handed money on a plate. Full of distracted people who were full of wine, and even food small enough to sneak into a pocket. This was no different.

She didn't know what the party was for, and she didn't really care. All she knew was that they had money to spare. While working the crowd, plucking coins from drunk pockets, she heard snatches of conversation about pro-bending and Avatars. She was almost sure there was only supposed to be one Avatar, but that could be considered when she was gone, safe and richer.

Jin was wearing a servant's uniform and cap. The cap was tugged down low to hide her deep, dark blue eyes, and the uniform was just loose enough to make her shape anonymous. People like this didn't look at servants. This costume made her effectively invisible, and all because those rich idiots were blind to people who worked for a living. She had plenty of coins tucked into the small pouch around her waist, surrounded by cloth so they didn't jingle. Ah, if only every heist were a party, then she'd be fat and happy. Well, perhaps not fat.

There were still plenty of people who struggled from morning to morning. Even decades after the old Avatar disappeared, the destructive effects of the defense against the Earth Empire remained. There were people who'd lost homes, work, family, their whole lives gone in moments. Some never recovered. It was something that upset Jin, deep in her belly. Wasn't the Avatar supposed to help people? Instead, the people who had lost it all were just forgotten about. Meanwhile the Avatar rubbed elbows with CEOs and princes, Presidents and movie stars, and let people starve. Then she just walked away from it all.

To be honest, Jin couldn't care less if the Avatar never came back. The world was far better off without one.

A commotion outside called the attention of the partygoers. Jin knew she'd stand out once the crowd was focused on something else. It was time to make an exit. She picked up a mostly empty tray, and started moving toward the back.

Lei had heard Liang's voice and manage to calm down, however Li was still in the Avatar State "They're dead! No they can't be! Face it they're gone! No they can't be I wont believe you!" Li called out. What Lei didn't know was that much like Avatar Korra, Li was facing the Anti Li in his mind. Only he could see the Anti. "I won't believe you! I wont!" Li said "It's too late, they're gone! Face it you couldn't save them! Just like you couldn't save Lei!" the Anti said. "Li, snap out of it! Focus on mine and Liang's voice! I know it's hard to believe but even if they are dead, you have me and you have everyone that would come on the adventure with us! Kailani, Liang, Maybe even Luta, Akito, and Zakeo too!" Lei called out hoping Li could hear her.

Liang took a deep breath. She wasn't quite sure how Li would react to what she was about to do - after all the Avatar State was the ultimate defensive measure. The black haired woman lowered her hand and very cautiously approached Li from behind. "Li, listen to me." Her voice was calm and kind - like that of an older sister that tried to comfort the younger offspring who were in trouble or in need of a hug. "For now you need to let it go and accept what has happened. No matter how horrible it feels." The former firebender pulled Li in to a very gentle one armed hug and closed her eyes - as if she was expecting to everything to end at the moment of contact. She didn't know why she was acting the way she was - taking in to consideration how scared she was, but it felt like the right thing to do. "Li... please..."
