The Dual Bender

Chapter 47: Kuvira's Arrival/The Vision

Korra: "Raiko, you should get to somewhere safe where Kuvira can't get to you." He nods and some guards escort him out. I lead M/N to where everyone else is.

Bolin: "M/N!" Bolin screams as he runs up and hugs him.

You: "Alright, alright, good to see you too Bolin."

Korra: "So, we need a way to cut through platinum, anyone got any ideas?" I ask them. A few minutes later Asami snaps her fingers.

Asami: "Got it! Plasma saws!" Varrick seems just as excited as her.

Varrick: "Yes! Wait... How are we going to get a plasma saw onto that thing?"

Asami: "Well... We could attach them to those prototype hummingbirds we have."

Varrick: "Yes! Excellent thinking Asami! But will they be strong enough? We'd have to cut down size and power in order to keep the hummingbirds mobile."

You: "How long would you need?" He asks them.

Asami: "Hmm, I don't know, depending on how small the saws are... I'd say a couple minutes, most likely around two." He nods.

You: "I can guarantee you one, you'll have to find a way to get the other." She nods.

Lin: "I'm going to go get someone to help with this." We all nod and she walks out. Although who would know more about this than Asami and Varrick...?

Your POV

I walk out onto the top of the building to get some air. That thing I did in the vision Valek showed me... It was possible, "you wish it would happen like that." It was possible, and I'm guessing it was the key to me beating him, but I have to figure out how to do it. And I only have 10 days to find it.

Korra: "M/N? Is something wrong?" I turn back to face her and shake my head. "What is it? Did you have another nightmare?" I nod and look down.

You: "We have 10 days Korra... I have to fight Valek in 10 days..." I look up and see her standing there with wide eyes.

Korra: "Hey, let's just get through this Kuvira thing first. And remember M/N, you won't be fighting him alone." I knew it, I knew she was going to say that.

You: "No."

Korra: "No? No what?"

You: "I'm fighting him alone, I'm sorry, but I've seen what happens if you fight... I'm not letting that happen."

Korra: "What?! But you said yourself that you can't beat him!"

You: "And your right, I can't. But I'll be damned if he lays a finger on any one of you."

Korra: "M/N, our best chance is together." I shake my head.

You: "And it may be. But it's our best chance to beat him, not to survive. I can't win, but I can kill him."

Korra POV

What? He's going to kill him without beating him?

Korra: "How do you plan on killing him without winning the fight?" He sighs and looks back out across the city.

You: "I'm going to blow him up... By making myself into a bomb." Wait, what did he just say?

Korra: "How are you going to make yourself into a bomb?"

You: "I learned a while back how to make a small one with spirit energy, I'm going to make one with all of my energy, then grab him, and, well, it's self-explanatory."

Korra: "No, I won't let you do that. You have to at least try." He laughs and turns back to me.

You: "Well duh. You didn't think I was throwing in the towel already, did you?" He says continuing to laugh. "Come on, we should get back to the others." He slings an arm around my shoulder and we walk back inside. When I get inside I'm surprised to see Hiroshi working on the hummingbirds.

Korra: "What's he doing here?" I ask Lin.

Lin: "I figured he'd know more about this than anybody else, and we need all the help we can get." Then I hear the thumping in the distance. I look up and see M/N already standing over by the window.

Korra: "She's here." Then he looks back at me with a somewhat scared impression on his face. "What? What is it." He points out the window. I walk over and see... Kuvira's weapon aimed right at us! "Everybody get out of here!" I scream.

Asami: "What?! What about the hummingbirds? There are only hope of getting inside that thing to take it down!"

Korra: "We'll have to find another way! The hummingbirds are useless if we're all dead!" Everybody begins running out of the room, except M/N, who takes a step back from the window and gets into a fighting stance. "M/N!? What are you doing?! We need to get out of here!" As I finish the beam fires. I see his pupils begin to glow a bright F/C again. Then he sends a wave of fire through the wall. It meets the beam head-on, I can see him struggling to hold it off.

You: "Korra! Get everyone back here and get the hummingbirds outta here!" I nod and run to go get everyone else, when I get back though, I see M/N on a knee completely out of breath.

Korra: "M/N?! Are you ok?" I say running up to him, I pull his arm around my shoulder and help him up.

You: "Been better." He says smiling. "Let's hurry up and get these things working."

*TIMESKIP*

Your POV

I'm standing on top of the building again, watching Kuvira's weapon wreak havoc upon the city.

Asami: "Hey M/N, they're ready." I nod and follow her back down.

Korra: "Alright, Asami and Hiroshi in one, Varrick and Zhu Li in the other. I notice Zhu Li has a large ring on her finger. Had she always had that? I shrug it off and throw on my jacket. "M/N, Mako, Bolin, Sue, Lin, Wei and Wing, and myself will distract her while you guys try and get through. Try and find a blind spot on it." Everybody nods and we head out. But as soon as we get to Kuvira one of the hummingbirds starts malfunctioning.

You: "I thought you guys tested them?" I ask Korra.

Korra: "We did, I don't know what happened I'm not a tech wiz!" I shrug but nod, it's not worth arguing about right now, maybe later. Sue, Bolin, Lin, Wei, and Wing begin earthbending buildings down on top of it. Korra and I begin attacking it any way we can. I see one of the hummingbird's land on its leg.

You: "That's not exactly a blind spot!" I yell, barely dodging a section of wall it threw at me.

Korra: "We'll have to make do!" Then I see the hand begin to swing down on them.

You: "Korra!!"

Korra: "I Got It!" She waterbends ice onto it... and it holds for a solid 30 seconds before breaking, then it swings down again, I see one of the parachutes launch, but don't see the second. The hand continues to swing down. I groan and take off towards the machine. "M/N!!?" I land next to it and catch the hand, I look over and see Hiroshi looking at me with his jaw dropped.

You: "Hurry Up Please!" I yell at him, he snaps out of it and begins working again, the hand pulls away, only to swing down again, I stop it again, but I can feel my stamina draining quickly. Then I hear the clang of metal, I look over and see a hole in it. He nods at me, then fly's off, but as he does the machine knocks him out of the sky and onto the ground, then a building knocks into this machine, I see Hiroshi crawling out of the hummingbird, only to have it step right on him, I look away, and up to the head of her weapon. She killed him, I didn't even know him, yet I knew how devastated Asami was going to be. That's it... no more mercy from me.
