Part 8
Korra got down on one knee, her head dropping. "And I hereby name you the Leader of the Benders Mafia," Tenzin tapped a staff on each of Korra's shoulders, and finally on her head. "Code name: Amir," he finished. Korra raised her head, facing the large crowd. "Do the Benders Mafia accept Avatar Korra, who moved up through our organized ranks, to be your leader?" Multiple hands, all with four fingers in the air, rose. Korra stood up, being accepted. She held her hands out as Tenzin gave her the staff, bowing. It was all the colors of the elements, white, blue, green, and red.
Korra walked to the podium to her right. "I, Amir, thank the Benders Mafia for choosing me to be the new Leader. I also thank Tenzin, who has taught me to fight with pride, humility, and my bending. I will rule with an iron fist, and will stay calm through all specialties. With the roar of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire, we will stand alongside Raava. We are the Acts of Nature!"
"The Benders Mafia!" Everybody else finished with her, raising up four fingers, and putting their right hand over their hearts in a 'C' shape. This resembled the four elements, and the force of their hearts coming together as one. Korra spotted Mako and Bolin in the crowd. They smiled, and she gave them a small nod. The newest members.
Everybody disbanded to their jobs as Korra bowed to the large group. Then Tenzin showed her to her office, which was pretty big. He left her to get use to the large area, and get settled in. That was one year ago.
"Amir!" Korra looked up suddenly, hearing her assigned name. Asami, who was sitting in a chair next to Korra, also looked up.
"What?"
"The body that was found in the fire-"
"Stop!" Korra busted upright, slamming her hands on her desk. Fire came out underneath them. "Asami, please leave the room," Kora said, slightly turning her head to the taller girl.
"Don't go too hard on him," Asami put her hand on Korra's shoulder, and Korra nodded at her.
When Asami left the room, Korra motioned to the chair in front of her desk, sitting down in her own. "I had to get her out of the room, while we're talking about the fire," Korra explained, and the man sat down.
He slid the folder he was holding across the desk to Korra. It had pictures and further police reports in it. "The body they found," the man said. "It was a woman."
Then Korra remembered something. "I don't remember Asami's mother dying when I was there, and Mako and Bolin never told me about the her death," Korra said, mostly to herself.
"They ran tests, and our cams caught who the tests said it was," he said.
"I can guess," Korra said.
"Yasuko Sato," he said.
Korra stated silent, but the door didn't. "No!"
Korra stood, opening the door for Asami. The man walked out as Asami walked in to the room, tears streaming down her face. "Asami, it's oka-"
"No it's not! How long have you known?"
"I found out when you did. Can't you remember when I was kicked out of your mansion? How young we were? I was never aware of when or if your mother died!"
Asami stayed silent, tears still streaming down her face. She looked at her feet, and Korra stepped closer to her. "I'm sorry," Asami said, wrapping her arms around Korra's neck.
"I am too. I shouldn't have went off like that, especially to you," Korra said, hugging the taller girl.
"Amir!" A woman outside the door said.
Korra motioned her head to the seat Asami was sitting in before, and she readjusted her uniform. "What?" Korra sauntered to her own seat, plopping down.
"It's about-"
"I swear if I hear one more mention of the fire again I'm gonna light your rooms on fire!"
"It's about the assignment Mako and Bolin went on," the woman stayed behind the door.
"Come in," Korra sighed. The woman, taller than Korra but shorter than Asami walked in. She had dark brown hair and brown eyes. A fire bender. "What is it?"
"They were attacked by the police. Before you took out the officers memory, he told his comrades of Bolin, and they put up pictures. Bolin's in danger," she finished.
"It had to be Bolin," Korra said to herself. She rose, walking to her armor stand.
"What?"
"Bolin can't protect himself. He's a lover, not a fighter. Asami, you and I are going to get him ourselves," Korra said.
"There's one more thing," the woman said. Korra turned and looked at her questioningly. "Mako has been captured as well," she said.
"Size Asami for armor, and gather the best benders of The Acts of Nature. You will be our leading general, beside me. Is that understood, Bruna?" The woman flinched at her name, but bowed at the honor.
"And I will size Asami immediately," she informed Korra.
Korra nodded the two out of her office, and put on her armor, along with gathering her weapons.
\(Three Hours Later)/
Korra stood, Asami behind her, looking out to the army Bruna created. Over half of the Benders Mafia's secret 'monsters' have been recruited for this mission. And by monsters, the people are literally benders who have learnt the extra possibilities like metal bending, electric bending, and even blood bending. But blood bending was only to be used in emergencies. They are also trained by Tenzin and Korra herself, so they are incredibly skilled. Korra stepped up to a podium, her armor moving silently along with her. Only Asami reacted to the sudden movement, while the 'monsters' looked up simultaneously. Their helmets matched their bending, all with the imprint of Raava on the sides. The Acts of Nature.
"You are the best of the best. The Acts of Nature," Korra started, and the monsters cheered. "We are going to finish what the Blues started. They have taken my friends Mako and Bolin, Fire and Earth, Hard and Soft. And they are our family. We will rescue them, and take down the Blues who have crossed the lines, crossed the borders that we have created through peace. And now, that will be their downfall. With the roar of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire, we will stand alongside Raava. We are the Acts of Nature!"
"The Benders Mafia!"
They all held up four fingers, putting a 'C' over their hearts. Korra, on the other hand, held up her sword, which was white, except for the tip, which was blue. Asami did the same, following Korra's lead. "We are heading to the police headquarters! Let's move throughout the rooftops, shadows of the monsters we are!"
The large group moved out, jumping to get to secret exits in the ceiling. "So how am I getting there?"
"You and I are going a different way than all of them. Remember Erin?"
Asami smiled, and made her way to the limo that Korra drove to the police HQ.
\(At the Police HQ)/
Korra knocked on the door, and a different officer answered this time. He opened the door fully this time, and Korra bowed, perfectly as rehearsed. "We are here to-"
"Erin!" Asami said loudly, and scornfully. Korra came up from her bow, a terrified look to her face. "You NEVER speak before your mistress," Asami said, giving Korra a devilish look.
"My apolo-"
"Never!" Asami didn't let Korra speak, not that she could in her scared state. She then turned to the officer. "Hello. I am Asami Sato, and this is Erin, my bodyguard and butler," Asami introduced herself as Korra bowed, then rose again. The two started talking about the cars again as Korra spotted the Benders Mafia.
She nodded to them, and half of them went into the air vents, and the other half spread throughout the area. "Then you can come in," the officer said, and Korra snapped to attention.
"Erin, come," Asami commanded, treating Korra like a dog. Korra followed, still a little petrified from Asami's outburst.
"I-is she trained?"
"Of course. If you don't train them, they won't behave," Asami said casually. The officer stared at Korra, who only looked ahead.
"Why are you two wearing armor?" Korra looked down to see a little boy who was pulling lightly on her cape. Asami's red one was untouched.
"You see, Erin and I are very important people. If we are to wall around with no protection, it would be dangerous," Asami explained, smiling. The officer apparently didn't care about their outfits. "Also, it's close to Comic Con," she added.
"Oh," the boy said, as he ran to play with his friends.
Then an explosion was heard, followed by yelling and screaming. The Benders Mafia has started their attack.
