Chapter 2: Trip to Cappy Town

(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Korra or Kirby!)

We finished the song on a high note.

“And the crowd goes wild, and many people scream Tone Benders!” Kanji said.

“I know right, this song rocks!” Kuzon said, “Although while we played this my brain hatched an idea for another song.”

“Whoa dude, one idea at a time,” Anana said laughing.

“You’re right,” Kuzon said.

He looked at his watch.

“Well time to go deliver some stuff to Cappy Town,” he said, “Let’s call it a day.”

“You sound real good Kuzon,” I said packing up my keyboard and guitar, “By the way. Who’s this Korra person?”

“What?” He asked.

“I heard you talking in your sleep and heard this name ‘Korra’,” I said.

Kuzon got up and said, “She’s a childhood friend from years ago.”

“Well looks like she and the Avatar share the same name,” Anana said.

“I’m sure you’ll see her again soon,” I said, “Friendship is forever.”

“Thanks,” Kuzon said, “Coming Kanji?”

“You bet,” Kanji, I gotta pick up my girlfriend anyway.”

Kuzon and Kanji were taking a bus to a neighboring city in the Earth Kingdom, Cappy Town.

People were greeting him as he walked by.

“Hey its my two favorite customers!” Said someone.

It was Chef Kawasaki.

“Hey chef,” Kuzon and Kanji said in unison.

“Two Kawasaki steaks on the house coming up!” He said passing them two steaks.

“Thanks man,” Kanji said.

The two of them were walking to the King’s castle.

“So how was your date yesterday with Cidney?” Kuzon asked.

“It was a blast,” Kanji said, “Thanks for hooking me up with those tickets, Cidney loves those guys.”

“Don’t mention it,” Kuzon said.

“I think its time you found someone too dude,” said Kanji nudging his shoulder, “At this rate you’ll be the only guy in our band who’s single.”

“Well I…. You know that wasn’t very funny,” Kuzon said.

A spark of lightning appeared to his left and then his right.

“What the….” He said.

“BOO!” Someone said scaring him.

It was Kanji’s girlfriend Cidney DeVille. She was gifted with the ability to thunderbend and she refers to herself as if she were more than one person.

“Well, looks like our lightning actually can scare people,” she said laughing.

“I wasn’t scared, I had…. Allergies to thunder,” Kuzon said.

“Yeah sure,” said Cidney not believing him, “So what are you guys up to?”

“Just delivering some goods to Uncle Dedede,” Kuzon said.

“The King?” Cidney asked.

“Well he’s not really my uncle,” Kuzon said, “Just an uncle/father figure since…. You know.”

“Yeah,” Kanji said, “But they’re up in heaven watching you grow up to be a great man.”

“That can’t bend,” said Kuzon, “I’m still kinda jealous that my friends can bend an element.

“Your sister can’t bend an element,” corrected Cidney.

“True,” said Kuzon.

I was heading to the office where my Uncle Wenyan was speaking with the president.

“….And so with the upcoming campaign coming up we’ve got to make sure you’re represented as a hero,” he continued.

I had a poster hoping that he would be able to make it.

“Mr. Wenyan, you’re niece is here,” said someone.

“Tell her I don’t have time to talk right now,” he said.

“Can’t you make some time?” I asked.

“Saria I’m in the middle of an important conversation,” Uncle Wenyan said.

“More important than me?” I asked.

“Not exactly, but you know what I mean,” he said.

“Uncle, my band and I are participating in the Battle of the Bands competition and we were hoping you could come,” I said.

“Again with this music nonsense?” Uncle Wenyan asked, “Why can’t you realize that music is a waste of time?”

“That’s not the point,” I said, “There are a lot of people that think I can make a career out of music.”

“Well those people are wrong,” Uncle Wenyan said, “These past few events have been occurring and bringing our city into ruin because of the Avatar, and President Raiko is doing all he can to keep us all in order.”

“But…” I said.

“There are people with bigger careers that will make what you can do absolete,” he said, “In this reality, playing music is a JOKE!”

I was hurt by those words.

“You’re never gonna come to my gigs are you?” I asked.

“No,” he said.

He continued his conversation with the president.

But I didn’t care as I was excited to tell my bandmates about it.

Kuzon made his way to the king’s throne.

“Uncle Dedede?” He asked.

The king approached him.

“Kuzon, why I haven’t seen you since…. I can’t say it enough, I’m so sorry about your brother,” he said.

“He use to bring me up here to see Earthbenders at work,” Kuzon said, “About earlier….”

“Water under the bridge,” said King Dedede, “Is there anything you need?”

“No just stopping by while I did my errands,” Kuzon said.

“Well anytime you need someone to talk to I’m right here,” said King Dedede as he smiled.

Back at Republic City someone was sharpening their weapons.

One of his men approached the room.

“I expect some good news,” he said.

“Lord Tokuga, We managed to find the locations of the materials we need for your plan,” said the henchmen.

“Excellent,” Tokuga said facing him, “We will commence soon enough.”
