"Whatever happens to me, don't turn back," Lin says before jumping off Oogie and heading up to the Equalists airship. She lands and metalbends the ship's hull clean off and damages it and it starts to fall to the water. She uses the hull and metalbends it and it catapults her to the second airship. She begins to take off the hull again when two Equalists come out of the hatch and throw two binding ropes that wrap themselves around her arms and chest and her lowers legs, which then shock her. She falls unconscious.


Lin wakes up and sees herself in a type of cage. She realizes that its wood and she will not be able to bend her way out. She resigns herself to sitting on the floor and rest so when the doors open she'll be able to fight her way out. Hours pass and finally Lin hears a door open. The door opens and to her dismay, there are over 10 Equalists and at least half storm into her tiny cell before the door is closed and locked again. The Lieutenant is among the ones who entered the cell.

"If you try to fight, we will use force." They all have their weapons ready but Lin doesn't care. She is going to fight. She nods in mock agreement and puts her hands out in front of her. The Lieutenant binds her hands together and orders for the cell door to be opened. As soon as she clears the doorway, she turns and kicks the Lieutenant in the stomach. She then steals one of the weapons and shocks whomever she can. Lin takes off in a sprint for the door. Attempting to run and unbind her hands proves to be a very difficult challenge and she cannot unless she stops running. She makes it up a level and into the main area of the airship. There however she runs into 30 guards all waiting for her. She sticks her weapon out, ready to fight but the Lieutenant comes up behind her. Totally surrounded and with nothing to bend she realizes she is unable to win this fight.

"Drop the weapon," The Lieutenant orders. "Now!" He yells and Lin realizes she has no choice and drops the weapon. "Very good, now get on your knees." He orders and Lin looks at him and spits in his face. The Lieutenant calmly walks over to her and she stands taller and straighter and prepares for the inevitable pain she is about to feel. He shocks her and while she attempts to stay upright, she eventually falls to the ground. Her hands are rebound tightly in front of her and she is half dragged off the airship and onto Air Temple Island.


She is dropped to her knees and she has no energy to fight anymore. Amon walks out and stands in front of her. The cool drizzle feels nice on her immensely warm body due to the numerous shocks. "Tell me where the Avatar is, and I'll let you keep your bending," he offers and Lin knows he's lying. Something her mother taught her.

"I won't tell you anything, you monster," Lin retorts back.

"Very well," Amon says and calmly walks towards her. Lin resigns her fate and closes her eyes. She doesn't feel him lift her head back or feel his finger on her forehead. Her last thought was of her mother and how she had failed her. The energy leaves Lin's body and she falls to the ground.


Lin wakes up in a metal prison cell. The wooden box would have been less insulting but Lin knew this was just additional torture for her. She will not cry. They cannot break her. Two Equalists walk in. "On your knees," They order again. Lin disobeys. They shock the metal bars and she backs away from the electricity. They open the doors and they both come at her and she easily disarms them and shocks them both. She escapes from her cell and sneaks out down the stairs. She looks around and sees no one, which is odd. That's when she hears his menacing voice coming from behind her.

"You can try to escape but there is no where to go. You will not be able to get off this island with or without your bending." Amon says and Lin looks up and sees several guards running towards them. She turns to face Amon and sees several guards coming from that direction as well. She drops her weapons and faces Amon.

"I will never tell you anything," she says and Amon just walks away. One of the guards shocks her and she falls to her knees. Her hands are bound behind her back and she is led back to her cell. They do not unbind her hands as they throw her to the ground and slam the door. She moves herself into a sitting position and she eventually falls asleep.
