Book Five: Resurrection
Chapter Nine: War
Days pass by and the gang approaches close to the southern water tribe. "Korra you okay?" Korra looks over to see Asami still in her Pajamas "You're up early, Varrick said we wouldn't be leaving until a couple hours from now."
Korra sighed. "I know, it's just after what they did to Tenzin and the island, who know what they might do here."
Asami walked over and held Korra. "Hey, don't think like that. Everything will be fine, we'll get them."
Korra held Asami's hand around her and smiled a bit "Thank you, Asami." She turned around and gave her a deep felt hug. She then looked into her eyes, Asami leaned in and layed her lips on hers. "I'll go get ready." Asami whispered as she walked back into her room. Korra looked back over to rail "I'm so sorry Tenzin." She said trying to fight her tears.
An hour or two pass by and Bolin comes into the room where Korra, Asami and Varrick were gathered "Well then, guess everyone was ready besides me, huh?"
Varrick turns to Korra "Well, if were going to go up against those monsters we need a plan, it's also very likely that they have quite the army riding with them."
Korra thought to herself. "Well, it will be a bright early morning by the time we arrive so we should attack the two dragon by surprise." Korra suggested.
"What if dragons don't need sleep?" Bolin said while sitting down.
"The kids got a point." Varrick sat into a chair pointed backwards.
"Snow storms, we'll travel by snow storms." Asami exclaimed turning the heads of the gang. "During this time of year there are usually snow storms."
"How do you know that?" Bolin asked.
"Haven't you read a book before?" Asami replied sarcastically. "We'll camouflage ourselves and use it to our advantage." Asami explained.
Korra smiled a bit "Yeah, that may just work."
Varrick thought to himself "Right, so you two will clear the way leading to these big deadly beast, and I'll launch the surprising blow from my Spirit Buster and bam, we have at 'em!" Varrick exclaimed with various hand gestures.
Asami thinks to herself and sighs "Well, if I still had my glove I'd probably be of more help to you guys, huh?" Korra began looking back realizing she forgot to grab it from the man in that ally a few days ago.
"Oh, Asami you don't need a glove to deal some damage!" Bolin added on "Yeah I've seen you kick butt tons of times before without it." Asami smiled.
"Well, its settled in one hour we will arrive and the plan begins!" Varrick smiled as he yelled.
Meanwhile in an area a far off from republic city groans could be heard from the back of a wagon. "Woah, there slow your roll, Xun." Night Walker gets off from his Ostrich horse and ties it to a near by tree. He walks over to the back of the wagon, he listened to muffled moans as he lifted up a cover revealing the sisters. "Right so rise and shine! I would have got you breakfast but I bought an Ostrich horse from a shady smuggler instead, hoping it would lay eggs…"
One of the sisters got up and started to get up. "What...where…" Ulva muttered.
Night Walker took a step back. "Look, I tried to get you guys to follow, but you wouldn't cooperate, you forced my hand I had to…" He was cut off by her launching an Ice spear barely missing his cheek, the other sisters began to wake up in response. "Look, I've got the medication okay, in fact I've left a ton of it in the little shack where we met in the beginning! I just need you to.."
He was cut off again by Anju "What follow your orders?! Track down the Avatar again, or maybe your precious masters so you can hide behind his safety." Ulva jumps off the wagon. "What makes you think we would listen to another one of your, slick, twisted, schemes."
Ayumi sat up "You, lied to me and threw me off into the sea."
Night Walker reached out his arms "Okay I will admit in the heat of the moment I thought you were the waterbending one!"
The three looked at each other and rushed at him. Anju Began to launch stones of all different sizes, while Ayumi got in close for some firebending attacks. Night Walker dodged back and metal plates began to mold into a long wide sword and a suit of heavy armour around him.
From behind him Ulva exclaimed "Looks like with the money you get from manipulating your workers you've managed to make quite the tin can."
Night Walker smirked "Yeah, I had the time to make a few adjustments to my design." He charged forward moving to the side having Ulva and Ayumi strike at each other and break the rocks Anju was bending. He rushed in close and swung his sword at Anju struggling not to get hit. Ayumi jumps in and tries to burn him from above but he blocks with his sword exposing his body. Ulva bends the water out from the plants around her and sends a fleet of sharp ice crystals at him. He quickly swats them away with his swords and grips his blade. Suddenly, plating was removed and his sword was a long and thin blade, he rushed in towards Ulva with immense speed and went in for a couple quick blows, he was interrupted by a boulder thrown into him by Anju. Ayumi moved in close and began to hit him with a fist full of fire. Night Walker jumps back and smirks watching as the three get closer together in front of him.
"It almost brings tears to eyes, how good you've become." Anju smirked
"Almost huh, lets make that a reality shall we?" Ayumi kicks a blast of fire at him forcing Night Walker to dodge into a boulder Anju emits from the ground. With a large stream of water Ulva whips Night Walker a couple feet away. He regains his footing and quickly rushing in for another blow, Ulva whips him sideways and Anju crashes an earth pillar into him Ayumi goes in for a couple blows to the chest with no hope due to his armour, Night Walker clenches his blade and it turns curved and a bit wider like a katana.
"Are we getting that tough for you, snake?" Ayumi shouted.
Night Walker scoffed "3 on 1 is hardly fair and all but I believe I can make this work." Ulva turns to Ayumi and both nod at each other.
The both rush in dodging and leading in with combos pushing night walker back into a stream. Ulva goes in for a punch but slips past him. Ayumi sends a wave of fire forcing Night Walker to guard, Ulva then submerges him into water and freezes him right where he stands. Anju with great focus bends the edge of a cliff side down on him almost crushing her sister with him.
"Hey, be a little carefull next time you could've had me squashed with the like of him!" Ulva exclaimed a bit agitated.
"Well maybe if actually trained often, you would have been quick enough to get out of that predicament." Anju yelled getting into her face.
"Guys we really shouldn't be…" Ayumi was cut of by the sound of both sides of the great large stone falling apart. The sisters look over to see Night Walker walking slowly towards them chuckling mildly. His armour began changing into a model more lighter and fitting, easy to move in. Ulva gritted her teeth and began to launch spears of ice at him which he kept breaking with ease.
"I'm tired of these games!" Ayumi shouted.
Ulva rushed a stream of water at him and Ayumi lightning bent at Night Walker causing him to kneel down from the pain.
"Wow, thats um new…" Ulva gulped. Anju threw a barrage of small but quick stones rushing in like bullets. A wave of dust covered the area and the sisters coughed "Did we, get him?" Anju exclaimed choking on the dirt.
Ayumi squinted her eyes to look over at the rubble and saw Night Walker begin to get up, He clenched his sword and it's slowly began to fold back and mold into something longer with a blade beginning to curve at the end, his armour began to mold into a cloak but somehow had the flexibility of fabric. His blade fully formed into a Scythe that pierced the winds apart as he spun it.
Ayumi stood there in shock and began to take a few steps back "He...Used it…" She stuttered.
Ulva got on her guard and carefully watched his movements "The trump card appears." Ulva muttered.
Night Walker looks over at the three with an emotionless expression "Game over." He muttered. In seconds, he rushed in.
Ulva immediately dodged out the way tripping from his tremendous speed. She gets up to see Ayumi and Anju collapsed on the ground With Night Walker spinning his Scythe in the middle. Ulva began to slowly tread back into the water "They say, the last thing you hear before you realize it's over... is the sound of a scythe piercing the air around it." Ulva stuttered.
Night Walker slowly walked towards her silently, not even his footsteps could be heard. "The also say, in that form, you become almost something entirely different, on the inside." She stuttered, trying to buy her more time but he walked on regardless. She smirked and looked at the water built up behind her and back over, he was gone her smirk immediately turned into a shocked expression and before she knew it, she fell to the ground.
Groans where heard and the sisters wake up tied to a tree with Night Walker petting his Ostrich Horse. "You know to be completely honest with you, I can understand your great distrust with me."
Ulva scoffed and chuckled "This cynical speech again."
Night Walker smiled and thought to himself. He then began to speak. "I never wanted you to do anything, He went over to Xun and pulled a bag strapped to him and placed it in front of the sisters wide open "See, medicine. And not that weird stuff those merchants give you. These are all natural no strange disorienting side effects. You were the first to follow me down this path so for you I will fulfil my promises."
The sisters confused stared at him cautiously and anxiously
"I had my own motives for working for those... powerful forces. Doesn't mean I should take you three prodiges down to get there."
Ayumi looked over and deep into his eyes "What made you change?" She asked.
Night Walker laughed a bit to himself "People are just fascinating, so filled with wonder." He looked over and shook his head "Never mind it." He threw a dagger close by her and got on his Ostrich horse. "Well, you're far enough from Republic City to escape back to your homes and there should be no records of you left at the police HQ." He began to trodd off on Xun, he pulled out a pendant from his pocket "I was never really good at saying goodbyes anyway…" He waved from behind and into the cluster of trees before him.
Ayumi almost saddened grabs the blade and begins to cut the ropes loose releasing her and her sisters.
Meanwhile miles away Korra and her friends land on shore close by the Southern Water Tribe. Asami, Korra and Bolin, wearing white heavy coats and goggles, nodded at each other and put on their white hoods, walking into the wintery storm.
"We shouldn't be too far from my village. I just hope my parents are safe." Korra muttered. She looked over to Asami. "How are you doing?"
Asami held her arms from the cold winds. "I'll be fine. It's Varrick you need to worry about. That huge hunk of platinum stomping around might attract too much attention."
"That's not the case. Varrick will wait there for the signal. Besides, they probably won't hear him through this snowstorm. " Korra replied.
Asami looked at her confused. "Signal?"
Bolin smirks as he explains the signal to her. "Once we find the dragons I'll call Varrick on this here walkie talkie and yell…'RUBBER BABY BUGGY BUMPERS'!" Asami sighed and looked at Bolin as if he were insane.
"Was that the signal!?" Varrick called in his amplified voice.
Bolin called back. "No! Just a test! Good job!"
The group push their way up a snowy hill, "With this plan we will be sure to…" Bolin paused gazing open what lied before him, Korra and Asami come up behind him and see an army of Plague members and the two beasts nearing her village.
Alpha paced around in front of his army. "Well, Chief Tonraq, It appears that you now have no choice but to approach me." He shouted.
A plague member walks up to him from behind and speaks in his ear. "Uh, sir? I don't think they can hear us in this storm…"
Alpha grits his teeth and growls at him. He quickly grabs his face and jolts him with lightning, burning his face.
Muffled screams sent the rest of the army shuddering as the Plague member holds his burning face in agony.
Alpha brushes off snow from his arm and turns to his army. "I have just been informed that all this talk and no action is pointless. We have the element of surprise on our side." He points to the house. "Find the chief! Bring him to me!"
Bolin stumbles reaching for his talkie "Abort! Mission has been compromised!"
A cracky scrambled voice came through "Wa….Tha...Signa…"
Boling grabs the talkie with both hands "No!, Abort!"
The voice came back through "You….wor..fast ki…"
Varrick puts down his walkie talkie and and looks at Zhu Li. "Initiate operation: Pest control."
Zhu Li looks up at him. "I thought we called this 'Operation Spirit Buster'."
"That too! Let's roll!" Varrick presses a button and launches forward zooming past Bolin and Korra plundering through the crowd of Plague members.
Alpha turns and sees a giant robot stomping towards him. "What in the…"
Omega pushes him out of the way and gets caught in the mech's grip. "Gotcha now, ya overgrown iguanadile." Varrick pressed many buttons from the control panel inside. A big blast of spirit energy blasted from his chest at Omega pushing Varrick back through more Plague members and launching the dragon through the snow.
"Well, thats one way of taking care of things." Asami sighed looking over at the mess.
Omega was launched through the village braking through several houses. The rest of his army tries to throw ropes around the mech's arms to pull him down.
Alpha puts his hand out in front of him and groans as he tries to metalbend the machine. The machine pulls the Plague members in the air. They land on top of Alpha with a thud. Varrick fires a blast of spirit energy towards Alpha. He tumbles out of the way, barely missing the blast. He throws a fire jab, but his flames are immediately extinguished but the cold winds of the storm around him.
Varrick launches a metal wire from his wrist gauntlet, wrapping around the dragon and pulling him towards the mech. The inventor grabs him with his palm and calls to Zhu Li. "Hit the lights!"
Zhu Li flipped several switches and a huge volt of electricity surges through Alpha's body. Just then Omega charges at the mech again and grabs it's leg, tripping it over.
Alpha falls to the ground and watches and Omega spins the robot around and tosses it farther out into the village. The robot lands on the snow with a boom, blowing a cloud of snow around it. Sparks fly all around inside the mech as Varrick and Zhu Li grunt from the impact.
"Iknik! We're taking some serious damage!" Zhu Li yelled.
Varrick pulled some more levers and pressed a button. The mech leaped back up. "I got it. I'll be more careful. Wait...did you just call me…"
Omega bent the snow into water and covered the mech in ice. Alpha grinned and charged his fingers with electricity. Varrick looked down on Zhu Li and yelled. "The pulse! Now!" Zhu Li nodded and pushed a red button. A blast of violet spiritual energy blew apart the ice surrounding the mech along with the dragon brothers across the field.
The blast was heard from the chief's home in the center of the tribe. "Somethings going on out there!" Tonraq grunted.
Senna grabbed his arm. "It's just a snow storm Tonraq. You know how common they are in this time of year."
Tonraq looked on as he listen closely. "It's not just a snowstorm."
A boulder smashed through their wall and through the hole they saw the spirit mech firing back at the dragons. Tonraq looked to his wife. "Stay here and hide. I'll go handle this." Tonraq grabbed his helmet and ran outside his home to see the chaos that unfolded before him. An army of invaders battling a giant robot along with the Southern Watertribe forces.
Alpha takes his concentration off of Varrick's mech and notices the chief leaving his home and grinned. "Chief Tonraq! You finally show yourself!" He shouted from the distance.
Tonraq yelled in reply. "Who are you! Why have you come here!?"
Alpha launched himself in front of Tonraq and whispers. "We've come for your head."
Korra and Asami looked on as they noticed Alpha talking to Tonraq. "No!" Korra gasped.
Asami wiped the snow off her goggles and squinted her eyes. "What is it? What do you see?"
Korra took off her goggles and jolted up. "They've found my dad!" She slides down the hill and air glides to the battle. The Avatar blasts all the Plague members in her way with a typhoon of wind and snow as she soared her way to Alpha and Tonraq. She finds them in the middle of a struggle.
Alpha chucks a huge boulder at the chief only to have it sliced in half by water.
Tonraq Bends the water into ice, piercing Alpha's face. The dragon chuckles and shakes it off. He raises a column of earth and spin kicks it, causing it to slowly fall towards the chief.
Tonraq tries to hold it up with ice and stop it from destroying the nearby houses and harming the tribe's people. Alpha notices his chance to kill him and lights his hand with electricity. He then sprints towards Tonraq, but before he could land the final blow, Korra rushes in and blows the dragon away, smashing him through a wall. She then bends the earth column and tosses it into the sea. "Korra!" Tonraq looks at her stressed, having to focus on his daughter and a powerful foe.
Meanwhile, Varrick fires another blast of spirit energy at Omega. The dragon side steps, just barely grazing the beam and traps the mech in ice using the water from the sea behind it.
Varrick begins to panic "He's going to push us into the sea! Zhu Li, the thing!"
Zhu li pauses for a moment "We don't have anything to protect of from the sea sir, with the weight of this mech we will sink instantly."
"What!" Varrick starts to hyperventilate pressing a bunch of buttons around him, waiting for some sort of response from the mech.
Before the mech could act, Omega snarls as he charges at it full speed. He rams against its chest with tremendous force, shattering the ice and sending it crashing into the water. Varick looks up to find a small switch and flips it ceiling the mech as it plunges into the water.
"Sir, the levels indicate we have enough oxygen to last us 7 hours."
Varrick sighs in somewhat relief "Well, Zhu Li looks like were going to sit here for a while."
Omega looked on as the mech plunged deeper into the bottom of the sea.
Alpha begins to strike lightning in all directions, Korra and Tonraq begin to dodge trying their best not to get shocked.
"Tell me, Avatar! How did you manage to escape the vines along with your girlfriend!?" Alpha grunted.
Tonraq flinched looking back at Korra "Girlfriend?"
Korra, caught of guard, sighed. "Um, can we please do this another time?"
Korra rushes in for Alpha as Tonraq shouts "Korra!"
Korra began to bend ice spikes at the dragon, dodging any other lightning strikes.
"Ah, the black haired one you almost left to starve!"
Korra shocked shouted "What, No I.."
She was cut off by alpha bending a boulder at her pushing her back towards her father. Tonraq shocked coming to a realization. "You mean Asami?"
Korra quickly began bending a barrage of ice towards Alpha. Tonraq begins bending with her causing Alpha to stumble a bit. "I had no idea, when did this happen?"
Korra looked over at him frustrated. "We are being attacked by a killer dragon spirit, and you're more concerned about my relationship choices!?"
She began to bend larger chunks out of frustration. Alpha grabs ahold of himself and lightning bends in between the two causing Korra and Tonraq to dodge in the same direction loosing a bit of their footing. Alpha sends another boulder, Tonraq quickly gets in front of Korra and bends a large ice wall to protect them.
Half of the wall breaks and Tonraq looks over at Korra a bit angered "I am your father! It's my job to be concerned!"
Korra quickly respond "You never reacted this way when I was with Mako. What makes Asami so different" Tonraq began to look around flustered trying to find the right words.
Alpha then charges at the ice wall, Korra and Tonraq quickly get up and dodge back onto their feet. Tonraq charged in at Alpha going in for a blow to the face, but Alpha takes the hit and earth bends a rock pillar towards him. Korra grits her teeth and quickly begins to bend ice and rock blows at Alpha.
Omega Begins to walk through the middle of the village only to find Bolin and Asami rushing in towards him.
Bolin quickly chucks a rock at the dragon. It shatters against his head. Bolin grunts with pride. "Bull's-eye!"
Omega slowly turns around and snarls, baring his razor sharp teeth. "Oh my…" Bolin muttered fearfully.
Asami rushes in "Cover me!" she shouted.
Bolin, shocked, quickly moved in closer to bend rocks at Omega before he could touch Asami. She leaped to Omega and tried to sweep him by the leg.
With Asami realizing her attacks were doing little to no effect, she slowly moved back to Bolin who was slowing Omega down with his stones.
Omega melted a large amount of snow and froze it again to make a slippery ground for Bolin and Asami to get a hold of. Asami slipped her way towards Bolin and flashed him two Plague tubes she had attached to her belt. "Keep him busy for a minute!"
Bolin nodded his head in agreement. Asami got up and rushed her way to the right. Omega air bent her towards a wall of a building nearby. Bolin earth bent a stone platform for him to stand on and launched pillars at Omega.
Asami pulled out a tube and through it at Omega, smoke quickly swarmed around him, and he began growl. He bent the smoke around him with air noticing Bolin and Asami were out of sight.
"Hey, Over here!" Bolin shouted at the beast. Omega looked over and before he could lift his fingers, a voice said from behind him "Gotcha!" he immediately swung back and launched Asami backwards into the snow. He looked under him to see another tube and an explosion went off under him.
Bolin grinned and balled his fist at the large cloud of smoke. "See, I told you Asami you don't need that glove to kick butt!"
The smoke cleared by Omega's air bending and Bolin's expression quickly dropped. Asami looked up and gripped her fist "Dang it!" She muttered.
Bolin rushed to Asami. "If only Korra were here to do her spirit bending thingy..."
Asami grunted cutting him off "It probably doesn't work like that Bolin!" Bolin looked up at Omega "Well it did for bum-ju, and he turned back into his adorable blue bunny self."
Omega began to snarl thinking to himself.
"And look at that evil dragon thing! Maybe he can be a Bum-ju too!"
Omega looked off confused. "Evil….What...Is...Evil" He grunted in a confused patchy tone.
Bolin looked over to Asami who shrugged her shoulders. "Uh...'evil' is doing bad stuff to good people...just for fun." Bolin muttered still shocked by Omega's voice.
Omega walked up to him slowly, causing him to shake a bit. He towered over him and asked in a deep raspy voice. "I...did...bad stuff?"
Bolin cleared his throat. "Y...yes! You hurt me and my brother the other day remember?" Omega tilted his head in curiosity. "And now his legs broken because of it!"
Omega flinched a little from Bolin's shout. "I...hurt you? Break his leg?" Bolin frowned and nodded. "I am…." Omega grunted softly. "Alpha...said...it the right thing...to do…."
Bolin put his hand on his hips and poked his chest. "He's been giving you orders, that's what he's doing!" Asami looked on in shock.
"Alpha...my brother. Not order….me around." Omega mumbled questioning himself. Omega looks to the ground, then at Bolin. He turns to Asami and sighs. He bumps pass Bolin and walks off grumbling to himself.
Alpha rushes in towards Korra and charges at her. Tonraq furiously slashes ice spikes into Alpha's face, causing Alpha to grab hold of his eyes and stumble.
Korra and Tonraq go in for a final blow, just then Alpha grabs them and foces them to butt heads, and threw them onto the snow knocking them on the edge of consciousness.
Alpha begins to chuckle "Ah yes this is wonderful. Father and daughter, fighting their last battle together! On the brink of death!" Just then, Omega arrives flustered. Alpha notices him and smiles. "There you are. I'm sure you made short work of that blasted contraption." Omega nods slightly. "Now Omega...kill him." Alpha points to Tonraq staggering in the snow.
Omega sighs and shakes his head, his eyes shut. Alpha looks at him with a stern look. "Serve the justice they deserve. Kill him!" No response from Omega. Alpha grunts and snatches Tonraq by the neck and pulls him away from Korra. He traps her in earth and drags Tonraq to the edge of the sea.
Korra watches in blurred vision as she tried to move and struggle. "N...no...stop! Dad!"
Tonraq grunts and coughs. "Korra, it's gonna be alright...just...remember.." Alpha holds him up and hangs him above the water. Tonraq struggled and grunted "You aren't just the avatar….you are my daughter….I'm so proud...to have raised such an amazing woman. Please...take care of your mother...I love you…." Alpha then dropped him in the water and charged his fingers with lightning.
Korra shook her head in disbelief. "No...please….STOP!" Alpha shot a bolt of lightning in the sea along with Tonraq, electrocuting him to death, with the earing sounds of his screams echoing on into the distance. Korra gasped and tears filled her eyes, as she sobbed in pain.
Alpha continued to strike the water with his lightning until Omega grabbed his wrist. Alpha looked up at him. He stood still and chuckled under his breath. "Right. Dont want to over do it." He walks towards Korra, wiping his hands on his chest. "Now you know our pain, Korra. You shouldn't feel too bad...you're next!"
Korra's eyes began to light up, and the rage inside her swept up with immense pressure.
She breaks free from the rocks, blowing them all around her. They slightly fly past the dragons as Korra taps into her Avatar state, unleashing a whirlwind of air and snow.
Alpha looks up at her as she levitates in the air with her wind. She lifts two large boulders from the ground and throws them at the dragons with great force. They shatter on impact with the ground as Alpha and Omega leap to safety.
Korra begins to flood in a barrage of stones, and a wave of fire too powerful for the snowstorm to extinguish. Omega blocks the attack and Alpha rushes in charging electricity. Korra swats him away, and rushes in towards Omega with a fist full of fire, Omega staggered while taking the hits and bended a wall of ice to separate the two of them. Alpha rises from the snow and lets out a huge roar, Korra looks over and bends a blast of water pushing Alpha towards her. She brings up an earth pillar knocking him right in the chin. She uses her bending to smash him into the ice wall Omega put up between them, Omega stumbles to get up and Korra airbends the both of them to the ground covering them into the snow.
Alpha rises and begins to aim his fingers towards Korra, she began to slowly walk towards him building a large earth pillar blocking any lightning strikes Alpha could conjure. Alpha rushes in and fakes an attack to bend a pillar into Korra's stomach pushing her back. Alpha lights his fists with fire and launches a barrage of punches.
Bolin begins to help Asami up and helps her walk towards the outskirts of the village.
Asami grunted "We need to regroup and…" Bolin dropped Asami and looked over to see Korra dodging and breaking rocks Alpha was bending. Omega was sitting on the sidelines confused if he should try anything, holding his head as if he had a migraine.
"Uh asami!" Bolin shouted pointing to the scene.
Korra began to bend air and water keeping Alpha from keeping a good footing on the ground. She covered Alpha in water and froze him in ice, she then bent the air around her and lifted herself towards the sky pulling a large boulder above him. The ice containing Alpha begins to crack but before he could break free Korra slammed the great boulder onto him.
Korra gently floats down and the ground beneath her begins to cave in, Alpha grabs her leg and slams her down into the deep hole. His mouth begins to exhaust flames, Korra shouts and bursts flames from her mouth in an attempt to get him off.
An inferno of flames arose from the hole as Alpha emerged. "Omega, what are you doing just loathing there! Come and help me, now!"
Omega stood up slowly walking up to him. He steps in front of him like a tower. "No…."
Alpha's jaw drops. "What...what do you mean no!?" Alpha shouted.
Omega clenched his fist. "No more killing! No more...telling Omega….what to do!"
Alpha shook his head. "Perhaps you've forgotten our mission. We must avenge our father's death and end the legacy of the Avatar once and for all!"
Omega growls. "We...doing….bad stuff...to good people! Enough hurting!"
Alpha breaths heavily with pure rage. "Then you're useless to me!" He engulfs his fist in flames and strikes Omega in the heart sending him tumbling backwards.
The army of plague members gasped in shock as they beared witness to this scene. Some mumbled to themselves, unsure of what to think and began to fight amongs eachother bursting into a maddening chaos of discord. Just then Korra arises from the ditch into the air and bends a tsunami behind her.
Korra washes the dragons outwards farther into snow, violently rocking them back and fourth. She freezes them into a spiral above her and smashes a great pillar flattening them both out.
Omega begins to reach out gasping and Korra swats them both back over to the other side with her airbending. She slowly began to descend to the ground and land the final strike Bolin rushes in and steps in front of Omega "Korra, Wait!" he exclaimed.
She twisted her ice spear to Alpha knocking him into the sea.
Korra fell down and landed into Asami's wet soaking coats arms. Asami could not find the right words to put together and Korra began to stumble back up and began to cry into her shoulder.
Bolin sighed and looked back at Omega and back at her and frowned. Hours later, the sun began to set with Asami trying her best to comfort Korra, and Bolin mumbling off in his own disappointment. He looked around "Where's Varrick?"
Omega suddenly stood up and limped to the side of the village towards the ocean, Bolin followed. Omega lifted one hand and swayed it from side to side, drawing a whirlpool carrying the spirit buster mech along with it up from the sea. The mech fell with a stiff slam. The top hatch was popped open and both Varrick and Zhu Li emerged. "Oh, surface! I will never leave you again." Varrick gasped.
The gang looked on as the rest of the Plague members dispersed and left the village onto unknown whereabouts.
Tonraq's body floated above the water and drifted towards the village. Omega scooped him up and lifted him in his arms. "Is he really….?" Bolin muttered. Omega looked at him with a saddened look on his face. He slowly shut the chief's eyes.
Bolin froze with grief as Omega made his way through the village along with the others. They looked over to one of the buildings to see Korra crying onto Asami's shoulder, while she was speaking with Korra's mother. Her mother looked over to see the body Omega was holding and she began to burst into tears as well.
Every resident in the village leave from their homes and gathered around the now fallen chief and his family.
Off from the distance Plague members shouted argued and turned on one another trying to rush into boats and head their way home.
Only silence was heard throughout the Southern Water tribe.
