On the fifth day of the trip to rush valley Korra, Ed, Al, and Asami left to go back to central and continue with their "regular schedules." However on the way back the train had an uneasy feeling looming over it and with good reason. The Homunculi were closing in on a new target.


"Something doesn't feel right..." said Korra staring out the window.

"I was just thinking the same thing... Something familiar, but wrong..." he answered darkly.

"Do you think its them, Brother?" said a concerned sounding Al.

"The Homunculi? I hope not Al..." said Ed.

"Now that you mention it Ling's a Homunculus isn't he?" asked Korra.

"Yeah but Ling's different he's just a carrier not a Homunculus himself Greed is the Homunculus but Greed has to piggyback on Ling because Greed has no physical body" explained Ed.

"Yeah kinda like me and Raava I suppose."

"What is Raava?" inquired Al.

"Not a what but a who," answered Korra "Raava is the spirit of absolute peace, light, and order. Raava has been locked in an eternal battle with another spirit Vaatu the spirit of absolute chaos, darkness, and destruction." after taking a breath she continued "Whenever one gets defeated it is reborn out of the other. Its also how I've had a few hundred different lifetimes before this one right now. My first lifetime was 10,000 years ago in my world, I was a man named Wan back then, he was the first of many lifetimes I no longer have any sort of connection to because my uncle and Vaatu merged into one, then ripped Raava out of me and beat her therefore breaking the connection I had to my other selves. I am the only one since Wan to have no one but Raava to look to for advice, but I suppose only having Raava isn't so bad." finished Korra with a little smile.

"Well damn... sounds like your even older than granny Pinnaco" said Ed.

"Yeah well... Hey that's not very -" started Korra but the train started to rock violently and unexpectedly.

"Shit" said Ed.

"Well Al, looks like you might be right," said Asami "lets keep them away from as many civilians as possible guys" she continued as she reached into her bag and pulled out the glove she kept from the Equalist movement.

"Right, lets do this" said Korra and Ed together.
