An uneasy air settled in the hallway as three men walked through the pro-bending arena Katsu looked down at the probending protective gear, "Mako are you sure about this?" the young man asked holding the helmet in his hand.

"Katsu that last match screwed up my arm, your are the only fire bending substitute we know. You have this okay." Mako stated as they reached the door he reached forward with his good arm. " The three of them entered the room and saw Bolin inside standing with a girl. She was wearing clothes from one of the water tribes.

"Ah! I would like you to meet my brother Mako and my great friend Katsu." Bolin stated a big smile on his face.

Mako looked at Korra his face stone cold before pulling his brother close and whispering, "Bolin why would you have one of your crazy fan girls in here before our match again?"

"Mako no need to be rude, It's nice to meet you miss...?" Katsu offered his hand.

She took and shook it, "Korra." she turned and looked at Mako, "I heard your last match on the radio."

Mako just shook his head as he looked out at the arena.

"You'll have to excuse him, when it comes to the matches...even when he isn't in them he likes to focus." Bolin explained. "Alright I got to go, wish me luck! Not that I need." he laughed as he walked to the arena.

"It was nice meeting you Korra." Katsu smiled as he walked into the arena as well.

"Good luck! Knock them out!" Korra shouted.

"It's one to one as we enter the final round, the Fire Ferrets are really feeling it missing their captain for tonight's match."

The alarm sounded as Katsu leaped back, he watched as water flew towards Hasook hitting him in the leg as he was in the air causing him to fly into Bolin crashing into both of them. Katsu jumped forward and manage to grab Bolin's leg as an earth disk crashed into Hasook causing him to fly into the water below. The force of the blow forced both Bolin and Katsu into the second zone. Katsu focused in as he focused on dodging the incoming earth disks and water, bobbing and weaving as leaps over one last earth disk he sees Bolin strike first, hitting the Tigerdilos' waterbend in the chest knocking him back to the into their own zone. Katsu quickly leaps in the air striking both of his hand forward as a quick strike of fire hits the earth bender into the fire bender allowing Bolin and Katsu to advance into Tigerdilos' zone one.

"Bolin go for it!" Katsu went all out as he struck out his fire hit all around the Tigerdilos, causing smoke to cover the field. Bolin leaped up sending two disks forward knocking their water and fire bender off the platform and into the water.

"Oh Yeah!" Bolin cheered as he was struck by a disk sending him tumbling off of the edge.

Katsu quickly ran to his left as he slide under the disk that was sent flying at him. As he skids across the ground he punched with his right hand hitting the man in the chest knocking the last Tigerdilos' bender off the edge.

"And the Fire Ferrets have won!"

Bolin cheered as he got back into the box, "Yes! One more win and we are in the tournament!"

"Bolin you need to focus when you are out there!" Mako ordered.

"Yeah, I'm sorry but Katsu handled himself fine." Bolin said with a snap of his fingers. "So Korra, what did you think Bolin got's some moves right?" he asked.

Korra gripped him by the shoulders, "What did I think?! That was amazing!" she cheered pushing him back.

Mako pulled Hasook aside. "What was that?! You almost caused us the match!"

"We won didn't we?! Get off my case!" he growled storming out.

"Mako you gonna be fixed for tomorrow?" Katsu asked.

"Yeah, my arm will be fine by then. Thanks for subbing in for me." Mako said shaking his friends hand.

"Wait you are just going to leave?" Korra asked looking at Katsu.

"Well I have to, Mako will be better plus someone need to get home and take care of my little sister." he answered as he gave a soft wave. "I'm sure we will meet again."

Katsu smiled as he stepped outside of a small store, a bag of food in his hand, his brown hair a little messy. Looking up he saw a small girl running towards him her shirt a little to big as her sleeves were over her hand. "KATSU!" her voice cried a she hugged his leg.

"Mitsuko? What are you doing out so late?" Katsu asked as he patted his little sister on the head. She pointed behind her as two large men stood there.

"You cost us a lot of money..." the first grumbled.

The second drew out a small dagger as he stepped towards Katsu.

"Mitsuko run back to Gran gran's house!" Katsu ordered as his sister let go of him and started to run. Suddenly a small wall of earth crashed up through the ground stopping Mitsuko. Katsu dropped the bag and readied himself for a fight.

"You should fight fair if you are going to fight!" A voice yelled as Korra suddenly leaped down and landed next to Katsu.

"What are you doing here?" Katsu asked.

"Protecting my friend." she stated as she stomped sending a rock up from the ground and into the jaw of the man with the dagger. Katsu quickly ran forward and kicked his foot forward as fire struck the other man sending him skidding across the road. The two men then ran as fast as they could away.

Katsu turned to Korra and looked her in the eyes, "Thanks....but I thought you were a water bender?"

"Well I am." She answered.

Mitsuko pulled on Katsu's arm. "She's the Avatar!" she was amazed as she looked at Korra.

"Yup I sure am." She said a smirk on her face.

"Wow that is cool." Katsu said. "Oh and this little one is Mitsuko."

Mitsuko smiled, "Hi."

"So will I see you at Mako and Bolin's match tomorrow?" Korra asked.

"I will try, hopefully I can." Katsu answer.

Korra smiled and shook her hand. "Oh shoot I need to get going sorry to cut this short."

"Bye Korra!" Mitsuko smiled as she waved. Katsu silently waved as well as he lifted his sister up and put her on his shoulders.

Korra laughed softly as she watched the pair walk away.

Katsu couldn't sleep as he sat in his small room and looked out the window, 'I'm not need tomorrow but it would mean a lot if I show up and support my friends.'

"Katsu...." Mitsuko yawned as she opened his door.

"What's wrong? Have a nightmare?" he asked as he looked over at her.

"No...will I ever learn to bend?" she asked as she crawled on to his bed and sat next to him.

"Sweetie of course you will, it just takes time. Plus we don't know what element you can bend, it's not fire like dad's was...so you must have mom's.." Katsu stated.

"But we never knew mom...." she mumbled.

"Hey we will find your element and I'm sure you will be a great bender!" he said as he hugged his little sister. "Now you need your sleep."

"Okay...I'm coming with you tomorrow to visit them." Mitsuko said a soft smile on her face.

"You want to see Bolin again don't you." Katsu teased.

Mitsuko's face suddenly turned red. "NO I DON'T!"

Katsu just laughed as Mitsuko stormed out of his room.

---

Katsu and Mitsuko arrived early as they waited in the box, "Hi Mako, hi Bolin!" she cheered.

"Well if it isn't my number on fan." Bolin smiled as he walked up and hugged Mitsuko.

Katsu pulled Mako aside, "How is the arm?"

"It is alright, thanks for stepping in yesterday." He said.

"Hey you would have done the same for me." Katsu replied.

Mako looked up, "Where is Hasook?!"

"He isn't here?"

"No." Bolin mumbled as he set Mitsuko down.

The door opened as Korra walked inside, "Woah what's wrong?" she asked.

"Hasook didn't show up." Mako stated.

The door opened again, "You have two minutes to get a third!"

"They have one!" Korra stated as she walked towards the locker and pulled out the uniform.

Korra had the uniform on in a moment as she and Bolin rushed out, Mako was close behind them.

Katsu and Mitsuko watched the match as it began and saw as a giant stream of water flew from under the platform and knocked one of the Platypus Bears into the water below. Mitsuko face palmed, "She has no idea what she is doing."

"I'm sure she will have it, just give her a bit."
