A/N: A gift for Hayley (sherbies on tumblr), because damn if she didn't make me love this (spiritual-possession) before it was canon. Unedited but - daaang this was pretty fun to write. ;)

The sky was blac- no, it was crawling. Mako can only stand with Bolin and Asami, watching as endless dark spirits come out of the spirit portal. He pressed his teeth together.
This wasn't good.
"Guys!" Korra shouts, appearing from the bottom of the portal. They run to her and take cover between the fallen trees as the spirits fly above them.
"What happened?" he asks. Korra breathes hard, catching her breath as she presses her hand into the dead tree bark.
"I don't know, I-" she blinks and looks to the sky. "I couldn't find Rava in time. She couldn't stop him."
Asami leans forward. "Well now what do we do?"
"I-"
Korra is cut off from the screech of spirits, their glowing eyes preying down on the group. They dive down and Korra bends the water from the snow, bends it around their bodies, makes it glow gold–
But it's too late.
She's knocked aside, blown away from the spirits force and suddenly she hears themscreaming as the spirits enter their bodies, dark purple energy tangling their limbs and there is nothing she can do to stop it. She stands but her knees are too weak to support her, her arms too heavy to rise but she has enough strength to lift her head, only slightly, as the spirits touch her skin, tightening their grip and glaring at her with glowing eyes that should be green and gold–
–and then there is a cry. A shrill, high-pitched noise and they collapse, the spirits fly into the sky. She catches them as best she can but she can't hold them all. They lay at her knees in the dirt with open mouths and blank eyes, dark etchings of the spirits scarred onto their skin in webs and crooked lines akin to the branches of the trees around her.
Korra breaths, touches the hair on their head and hangs her own.
There was nothing anyone could do. Not anymore.
:Fin:
Short and sweet. This was fun to do. :)
