after a generation of peace and rebuilding the Zhang Gan Jin decided to restart the ceremonial games of Redemption between there peoples, and for the first game in (they have no idea how long *Wink*) they both invite avatar Korra to referee. She accepts letters from both tribes. but ohh the Irony! there are suppose to be 2 referees one for each side, and with each tribe thinking the Avatar will be THERE referee and so tensions that had been faded if not disappeared, begin to resurface.
When Korra got the first letter from a group of people called the Gan Jin she thought it was interesting that they wished to have her referee a cultural match called “Redemption” that hadn’t been played in nearly 200 years. Then she received a letter from the Zhangs a week later.
Korra was slightly confused, assuming the two groups were the same from the way they described themselves in the letters, but again she agreed.
It was only as she, and her friends, arrived that Korra realized the issue. They were two groups were to separate cultures that coexisted, not one cohesive group.
What happened next could only be considered chaos.
The two groups launched into an argument and to Korra’s exasperation, Mako and Bolin somehow got dragged into it.
“I’m just saying the Gan Jin asked first,” Mako yelled. “It pays to be prepared.”
“But that doesn’t change the fact that Korra promised the Zhangs she’d referee for them,” Bolin argued back.
“There’s only one of her, the Gan Jin have the greater claim to her refereeing,” Mako pointed out.
“Says who?” Bolin asked.
“Says the rules of first come first served!” Mako said.
“That’s a stupid rule,” Bolin said.
“Guys,” Korra interjected, “stop, why do you two even care?”
Bolin opened his mouth before deflating. “Actually, that’s a good point, I have no clue why we started arguing,” Bolin said. Mako shrugged behind him.
“I have an idea,” Asami said. “What if there are three judges? Mako clearly favors the Gan Jin and Bolin clearly favors the Zhangs, then you play the impartial one.”
Korra considered the idea before suggesting it to the two groups. Korra was surprised at how easily they agreed.
For a game being played by two small children it was the most aggressive game she’d ever seen and she was a former pro-bender.
Korra wasn’t stupid enough to tell them who won, and just called it a tie before vowing to never talk to these people ever again.

To the brave soul who dared send it a prompt based on the most hated episode of Last Airbender, this literally made me laugh so freaking hard when I saw it.
