The Legends of Korra chapter 1 & 2

The legends of Korra is a sequal to Avatar the last airbender. Korra is a seventeen year old girl. Katara is Korras waterbender teacher. Tenzi is Korra's airbender teacher. He teaches Korra, who is the Avatar, how to control her use of all the elements. The 4 elements are earth, fire, water and air. Korra goes to Republic City to train with Tenzin. Naga is Korra's polarbear dog and her animal guide. Korra and Naga's arrival in Republic City, they roamed the city, finding out for themsleves just how unequal it was with its unequal division of wealth and rampant street crime. After successfully thwarting members of the Triple Threat Triad Korra found herself approached by the metalbender cops on charges of destruction of private and city property. After an unsuccessful runaway attempt, she was brought to the police headquarters where she was founded by displeased Chief Lin Beifong. Although Tenzin managed to persuade Lin to drop all of the charges against Korra, Lin made it clear that she would be watching Korra to make sure she does nothing wrong. Even though Tenzin had promised to send Korra back home again, she managed to get him into letting her stay, when she now realized that Republic City needed its Avatar. She was allowed to stay and practice on her airbending training at Air Temple Island under Tenzin's supervision. Her choice to be a residence at Air Temple Island was announced during a press conference in front of the City Hall in Republic City. Korra said, "Avatar Aang meant for this city to be the center of peace and balance in the world," and that she would work hard to complete that goal. Korra found herself struggling with handling the freedom of her element uses and eventually destroyed a 2,000 year old antuiqe Air Nomad training tool when she got frustrated and caght it on fire. Korra continually got frustrated in not being able to airbend, and  that Tenzin would not allow her to attend a pro-bending match which was something she wanted to watch since she was a child. Unwilling to sit still and on the island, she snuck off at night so she could  attend a match at the arena. While arriving, Korra was caught exploring the arena's gym by Toaz, but Bolin saved her from getting in trouble who said she was with him. Korra followed Bolin and was guided to the playing area where she was introduced to Bolin's brother, Mako. She stayed for the match, and became excited about the Fire Ferret Team. After the match, Bolin taught her some of the basics, and Korra proved herself to be a natural. When the Fire Ferrets' waterbender, Hasook didn't appear for the final match, Korra was excited at the chance to take his spot and compete. When she went in she said that she was a waterbender and she hit a player off of the side of the ring and got a foul and also blocked a hit by earthbending, which gave away that she was the Avatar. Korra was still able to be in the competition only if she waterbended. When Tenzin found out that Korra was there, he ordered her to return to Air Temple island immediately. She was able to saty by stating that it was important for her, as the Avatar, to learn modern-style bending, something that pro-bending could help her with. As she was struggling with the rules and the pace of the game, Korra slowly got the feel of it. Korra started applying some of her airbending lessons by moving around  like "a leaf in the wind", proving to Tenzin, who was still watching, that his teachings weren't all useless to her. This sudden change of movement from Korra won the match for the Fire Ferrets. This victory got the team to be able to access to the official pro-bending championship tournament. Korra then permanently replaced Hasook as the waterbender on the Fire Ferrets.

That's all I have now. Look for other updates on legends of Korra!
