Chapter 1 - Pilot
Korra
Vaatu's weakened form lies on the ground in front of me. Doubled over, I struggle to suck in air. The fight took everything out of me.
"You got him Korra!" Bolin yells from behind me. Unalaq is beside him, swallowed up to the neck in rock. The five of my friends had no trouble taking him out, and I managed to defeat the evil spirit.
I guess he's right. It is over.
"Not yet" Raava says weakly "The prison."
The prison! The Tree of Time used to contain Vaatu previously was destroyed during the fight. All that remains is a stump and a few hundred shards of wood. "What are we going to do?" I ask.
"I… I don't know" Raava replies.
Hearing the ancient spirit doesn't have any ideas is kind of discouraging. I could leave him here and close the spirit portals but that's only a temporary solution. Vaatu could find a way out or terrorize the spirit world. Plus I think the two worlds should remain linked. A sudden idea ran through my head. The thought of it made me shiver.
"What If I merged with Vaatu?" I ask.
"What!? I have no idea how you're body will respond to being merged with both of us" Raava exclaims.
"It's the only option we have" I grab hold of the evil spirit. I form a wave of water and surf to the nearest portal as Vaatu's diminished body flails behind me. My eyes are set on the beam of light, arm stretched towards it. There was no telling what will happen to me, but I'm not afraid. This had to be done. My hand made contact with the current of energy. I half expected nothing to happen but that was not the case.
I feel electricity run through my veins. It's painful but at the same time, exhilarating. Vatuu, slightly struggling, is sucked into me. I double over as the world around me spins. It worked. I did it. The world steadies for just a moment, and I see my friends in the distance running towards me.
"Korra!" Mako yells for me.
I smile. I take a step forward and the world goes black.
