Chapter 7: Fight for the spirits
it was early in the morning on air temple island Korra was staring out her bedroom window. The turtle duck spirit was floating beside her head "avatar Korra are you all right, you seen upset about something". Korra sighed, "I have to go to the other spirits they can't stay in the woods anymore , at least until Raiko decides otherwise". "But the other spirits like it there so much I don't think they ever want to leave".
"Well hopefully I can get them back there as soon as possible" . Korra walked out of her room and through the hallways. As she walked she saw Zuko and Jason walking towards her. " Are you sure there's nothing you can do my lord". "Raiko is president I'm afraid I have no authority over what he does". Jason notice Korra walking towards them "Korra are you going to get the spirits?".
"Yeah I figure I should get them sooner rather than later". "Jason why don't you go with her you are good with spirits". " Very well my Lord". Korra and Jason started towards the outside of the temple. Tenzin, Bumi, and Kya were all in the sky bison pens with the air acolytes giving them their lunch.
"You know I forgot how cute these sky bison can be when they're just little things" Kya 's said as she cradled a baby sky bison. "Remember how happy dad was when he found there were more sky bison still alive". "I think appa was even happier". Tenzin helped an air acolyte lay some hay in front of one of the female bison. "There you go Terra eat up".
"Tenzin", he turned and saw core with Jason approaching them. "Korra, Jason is everything all right?". " Well that depends on your definition of all right. We need to use one of the sky bison to get to the woods,we have to get the spirits out". "Wait what!? Why are you going to tell the spirits to leave?". "Raiko decided he doesn't like the idea spirits living in the united Republic".
"Are you kidding me so he can just decide if they stay or go?". "Apparently he can". "This is ridiculous, I'm going to have a word with him later"." We need to move the spirits out of there before he does something stupid like send the police after them". "Jason's right knowing Raiko he might just try it".
"You're right, Terra just ate so she can take you good luck you two". Korra and Jason dropped onto the sky bison's back after two of the air acolytes put a saddle on her. "Let's go Terra Yip yip". Terra flapped her tail towards the ground and took off towards the wooded areas outside the city.
As Korra got closer to the wooded areas she started to feel that something was wrong. It was as if Raava was telling her something was wrong with the spirits. Jason began to notice Korra was looking more agitated. "Korra are you all right?". "I don't know I just feel like something's wrong. Like the spirits are in some kind of trouble".
"That's not good, we better get there quick". Terra continued towards the wooded areas when Korra and Jason saw something they were afraid would happen. Men wearing uniforms similar to Tarloqs task force were standing by to trucks at the end of a road that led them into the wooded areas.
"Terra set us down there". The sky bison landed directly in front of the police officers and allowed for passengers to get off. Korra and Jason went up to the officers who seemed very concerned that they were there. "What's going on here why the police in the woods like this". "Were not police were members of a task force working for president Raiko. May I ask what are you doing here avatar Korra?".
"I'm here to help the spirits leave until Raiko decides if they can stay, that's what he wanted me to do". "You don't have to worry about that avatar Korra we've already taken care of it". " What? What do you mean you took care of it?". "Raiko thought it would be better if we did it in case you changed your mind. We're here to give the spirits a safe escort in case somebody tries to hurt them".
Both Korra and Jason had a gut feeling he was lying to them. "Really you mind if we see some of the spirits just to make sure I mean she is the avatar she knows best if the spirits are all right". "That won't be necessary our men have already told me the spirits are in a safe place until this matter is solved". "Really because I want to see them". "I assure you the spirits are".
Moments later the truck the man was standing in front of shock as something heavy hit it. Korra heard a grunt as the truck shook and looked behind it to see a large wolf lion spirit trying to fight off two metal Bender's trying to restrain it with chains. "What the?". The spirits saw her and screamed out "avatar Korra help us these men are trying to take us prisoner".
Korra grab the man by the collar of his uniform and pulled him close "tell your men to stand down now!". The second officer whipped a chain out of his armor and wrapped it around Korra's palms. "Avatar Korra stand down or face the consequences".
Now enraged Korra whipped her arms in the other direction using her whole body and a little bit of air bending to gain momentum. The force hurled the metal Bender over her body and into a tree. As the first officer tried to grab Korra Jason snatched his arm and used his own force to flip him over his body and onto the ground.
"Remember when you said you'd fight by my side if Raiko sent men after the spirits". "Yeah, I stand by what I said"Daniel tossed two of his sacks of water to Korra and the sprinted forward to help the spirits. They both blasted the two metal Bender's who were restraining the wolf lion with water.
When the two metal Bender's hit the ground the wolf lion seized the opportunity and grabbed the chains attached to the metal Bender's armor. whipped the two policemen into two trees and roared in victory. "Thank you for saving me avatar Korra but the others are still in danger".
"Have any of them been captured?"." A few of them yes, the others are still fighting them or hiding". "Show us where". The lion Wolf spirit led them deeper into the wooded areas and to a hill. Korra saw some of the larger spirits were fighting off several of Raiko's task force.
The task force was made up of metal Benders, fire Benders, regular earth benders , and some non benders carrying large staffs with electric shockers at the end similar to the gloves used by the equal lists.
Some of the smaller spirits were trying to flee, but a few of them got restrained by the task force members. A small spirit that was being dragged away in a net by three task force men. Korra raced forward and blasted two of them with fire bending. The third one turned to face her and stomped his foot to the ground bringing up a large rock. The offender hurled three rocks forward at Korra.
Korra got into a defensive stance and used her own earth bending to cover her fore arms in solid rock than smashed the incoming rocks. She threw her arms forward using the Dragon dance technique her fire bending teacher had taught her. The earth Bender threw up a few rocks to protect himself but Korra's fire bending was so strong that it tore through the rocks and continued hurling the earth Bender back.
Korra got the net off the small spirit and helped it up "please help the other spirits"." I will, now get back to air temple island". The spirit flew up and over the trees. A larger spirit had two metal benders holding four metal chains around his arms and two men shocking it with electric staffs.
The two men wielding electric staffs were both knocked away from the spirit with small waves of water that came from Jason's water bending. Two fire Benders quickly came to back up their men and threw their fists forward unleashing bursts of fire at Jason.
Jason water bent his water around him extinguishing each burst of fire that came at him. When they stopped he hurled a burst of water at the first fire Bender knocking him to the ground. As he tried to get up Jason brought the water back around that hit him in the back of the head forcing his face into the dirt. The second fire Bender resumed his barrage of fire blasts as Jason brought his water back to protect him from the fire.
When all of the fire was gone Jason whipped his water forward like a tentacle and wrapped around the fire Benders leg. He pulled the fire Bender forward bringing him to the ground, and when the man tried to get up Jason hurled the second burst of water at him but throws it into a block of ice. The ice broke apart in the man's face knocking him out cold.
Another two men wielding electro staffs tried to sneak up behind Jason. But from years of combat training and experience it was easily able to detect them. When one of them thrust his electric staff forward Jason lurched to the side and grabbed the electric staff with his other hand. Heat pulled the man forward and bashed him across the face with the edge of his elbow.
The only task force members wearing armor were the metal Benders, Jason still had his Imperial guardsmen armor on so when his elbow hit the task force man he was knocked out cold. The second man thrust his electro step forward but Jason delivered a powerful kick to the center of the staff breaking it in half.
The man couldn't believe what he saw as he stared blankly had his now destroyed weapon. Jason lunged forward and used the tips of his fingers to chi block the man. One of the two metal Bender's let go of the spirit and whipped his chains around Jason's arms. As the metal Bender pulled Jason forward he water bent his water in his other water pouches and cut the chains and half.
When he was free Jason hurled his water forward and into the metal bender's armor , then froze it. Jason unfroze the water then hurled it out of the armor tearing apart and knocking out the policeman. The one remaining metal Bender was not able to restrain the large spirit alone. He broke free of the chains and hurled the metal Bender into a tree.
Many of the other task force members turn their attention away from the spirits and towards Jason and Korra. "Stand down or we'll place you under arrest". "I don't want to hurt you, but I'm not going to let you do this to the spirits". "Very well, arrest them". The earth benders and fire Benders came forward and started attacking.
Korra used her air bending skills to avoid many of the incoming blasts of fire and rock. When she was clear she unleashed a typhoon of wind hurling the three of the task force members back into trees. As three of the metal Bender's whipped chains out at Korra and Jason. Jason tossed another sack of water to Korra and they both water bent the water at the chains breaking them in half.
After the chains were broken they continued water bending and knocked the three metal Benders to the ground. Two of the large spirits charged forward avoiding incoming bursts of fire and rock. They smashed into several of the task force members and hurled a few others to trees.
Another spirit of a large serpent evaded incoming bursts of fire and entangled one of them with his tail. He hurled the fire Bender into the other two knocking him to the ground. The leader of the task force looked around at his forces getting wiped out by the avatar and the spirits. "Retreat!". The task force members rushed back to the trucks and tried to get away.
"They've got spirits trapped in those vehicles, stop them!" One of the spirits said. Korra rushed forward with Jason trying to hit the trucks. Korra used her air bending to speed up and then blasted the nearest truck's tires. The driver lost control in the truck crashed into a tree. The driver and the man sitting in the passenger seat got out and started running as fast as they could.
Jason got to the back of the truck and slashed the doors open with his water bending. There were several spirits inside trapped in nets and cages. Korra tried to catch up with the other trucks but they had all gotten away by the time she had dealt with the first one.
"Jason started freeing the other spirits when Korra came back to the crashed truck. "They got away with a lot of spirits to". "It's all right it's not like we don't know who took them". "Avatar Korra we must free those spirits" the lion Wolf spirit said. "We will but first we need to get to Tenzin and Ursa they need to know about this.
Jason freed the last spirit in the truck and then got out. "She's right it would be foolish to just go charging in their without a plan". "Very well then let's get back to air temple island".
Mako was at his desk at the police station going over some more files he got from internal affairs. "Attention everyone can I get your attention". Mako and the other police officers turned to see chief Bei Fong looking very annoyed standing next to Lieut. Tanron. "I am very happy to congratulate Lieut. Tanron on his new promotion to captain".
"What?" , Tanron walked back at his office that now had captain written on it. Mako got up and went over to Bein Fong before she went into her office. "Chief what happened when I see being promoted to Capt?", "This was my doing Mako it came in from the department of justice". "You don't think this has anything to do with this the corruption do you. I mean Don Carlo goes missing under his watch, he brushes the entire thing under the rock and now he's promoted to Capt.". "I think this has everything to do with that Mako. I just can't seem to get enough evidence to internal affairs".
"Oh come on, you're chief of police". "That's what's really bothering me, my authority is being undermined it every day". Suddenly the phone in Bei Fong's office began to ring. She written answered it and stayed in there for less than a minute then came back out. "That was president Raiko, he wants us to arrest avatar Korra and fire Lord Ursa".
