**Chapter 1: The Quest for Gold**

The sun had set over the bustling streets of Republic City, casting a warm orange glow over the friends as they gathered in Korra's living room. Mako, Bolin, Korra, Asami, Tenzin, and Opal were all huddled around the TV, their eyes fixed on the screen as they eagerly awaited the start of a new game: Blooket Gold Quest. "Alright, let's get started!" Korra exclaimed, grinning at her friends. "I'm going to be the best, you guys just watch." The group chuckled and began to browse through their phones, searching for their usernames. Mako was Sharkbrowss, Bolin was NukTuk, Korra was Avatar, Asami was simply Asami, Tenzin was Tenzin, and Opal had chosen her own name. Kuvira, who had arrived unexpectedly, smiled sweetly as she revealed her username: GreatUniter. Opal scowled, her eyes narrowing at the sight of Kuvira's username. "Ugh, really? You think you're the great uniter?" she muttered, her voice laced with disdain. Kuvira ignored Opal's jab, her eyes fixed on the screen as the game began. The objective was simple: collect gold and defeat enemies to rise to the top of the leaderboard. But as the game progressed, the friends found themselves becoming increasingly invested. "Yes! I just got a golden sword!" Mako shouted, pumping his fist in the air. "Nice try, Sharkbrowss," Korra teased, "but I'm still in the lead." Asami rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "You're not going to let us win, are you, Avatar?" Korra grinned mischievously. "Not a chance. I'm the Avatar, after all. I'm used to being the best." Tenzin chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I think we're all in for a surprise, my friends. This game is more challenging than it seems." As the night wore on, the competition grew fiercer. Bolin's NukTuk was hot on Korra's heels, and Kuvira's GreatUniter was steadily climbing the ranks. Opal's anger towards Kuvira only fueled her determination to beat her. But as the gold poured in and the enemies grew stronger, the friends' banter began to turn into fierce declarations of victory. Alliances were formed and broken, and strategies were hatched and discarded. Korra's eyes gleamed with an intense focus as she surveyed the battlefield. "I'm not going to let anyone take the top spot from me," she declared, her voice low and determined. Asami raised an eyebrow. "Korra, it's just a game. Don't get too carried away." But Korra was beyond reason. She was in the zone, her Avatar senses on high alert as she plotted her next move. The others watched in a mixture of amusement and concern as Korra's competitive streak took over. Kuvira, however, seemed to be enjoying the intensity, her eyes gleaming with a ruthless determination. The game was on, and only time would tell who would emerge victorious. But one thing was certain: only one could be the champion of Blooket Gold Quest.
