Nuktuk: General Iroh taught redirection! If we redirect our energies through each other we can connect to Raava! I've studied and meditated for this, but I need all of you to trust me! It's the only way we can stop Jorru!
Aiko: I believe you, Nuktuk...You guys we have to try!
Ma'treya: Angi, whatever happens...I love you.
Angi: I love you too...

Jorru: I AM THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE HUMANS AND SPIRITS! THE ONE WHO RESTORES BALANCE TO THE EARTH! YOU DARE BETRAY AND CHALLENGE ME?! I'LL DESTROY YOU, AND ANYONE WHO STANDS IN MY WAY! AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE AVATAR!
FOUR YEARS EARLIER
"They always told me I was special. Ever since birth I was meant for something...More. The White Lotus elders showed me the relic of my past life and from that moment on, I would learn to master all the elements. But I won't settle for simply mastering them. So that the Avatar cycle will never be broken again, I must become stronger. I must become...the most powerful Avatar, that ever lived."
BOOK ONE
SUBSTANCE
Aiko: Fire. Air. Water. Earth. The Avatar has always been the only one who could restore balance in our world. Then, Avatar Korra had a vision at the Tree of Time and revealed to us a prophecy. The next Avatar in the cycle would one day become overtaken by Vaatu, and that four benders would be chosen to stand against the corrupted Avatar. But before Korra could tell us how they could stop him, her soul departed to the Spirit World and closed the portal. People tell me to give up hope. But I believe, Jorru will bring balance once again.

*over radio* ETA TO DROP, FIVE MINUTES
April: These new airships smell like...wet, hog monkey.
Faith: First of all, they're called VTOLs, and I think that's probably because we've been in the field for two weeks and we're already on mission again.
Song Lee: Why can't you girls ever see the positive side of things? This is a great opportunity to assist the Freedom Fighters. Plus, they're paying us handsomely.
Asuki: Alright ladies, you know the drill. The target is Varrick Industries R&D. As much as I'd like to go weapons free on that facility, it's strictly reconnaissance on our part. You will only go live if attacked. Once we're boots on the ground we'll secure the DZ, then rendezvous with local resistance and let them handle the rest. Remember, only go loud if we take defensive posture. Any questions?
April: Are we there yet?
Asuki: Okay then. Masks on, Kyoshi Warriors.
*voice over radio* BAY DOOR OPENING. PREPARE OXYGEN MASKS. STARBOARD SIDE, CHECK. PORT SIDE, CHECK. CLEAR RAMP ON GREEN LIGHT.
Song Lee: Yay, this is my favorite part!
April: 'Bout time. Any long on this hunk of junk and I would've barfed.
Faith: Just thank the spirits your altimeter is functioning properly. Remember when you jumped last time?
April: Ugh, don't remind me. Soon as I get back to the airfield, I'm taking a bath, then sleeping. R&R for days...
