Here is the new chapter I bet you people wanted to see, so here you go.
Book 1: Air
Chapter 10: Gaining the Upper Hand
It's early morning in Air Temple Island and Pema, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo are sleeping together in one bed and Tenzin enters the room and sits next to the side of the bed and places his hand on his wife's stomach and both Pema and Jinora open their eyes.
"Daddy, you're home. We waited up for you. Is Korra okay?" Jinora asked.
"She's fine, sweetie." Tenzin said picking up Ikki who is now awake.
"I was scared. I thought she wasn't coming back." Ikki said.
"I'm sorry you were scared, but everything's going to be fine now. I promise." Tenzin said.
"What about Sasuke? Is he okay too?" Jinora asked.
"He's fine as well. He was arrested, but he somehow escaped and found Korra." Tenzin said.
"That's great." Jinora said.
Later everyone is at the dining hall and are eating food while Korra is gorging down Pema's food.
"Korra, slow down. The food's not going anywhere." Sasuke said.
"Sorry, but I haven't eaten in twenty-four hours. In case you forgot, I was trapped in a metal box." Korra said.
"I didn't forget. You told me on our way back." Sasuke said.
"The food tastes great, Pema. I'm starting to feel like myself again." Korra said.
"We're so thankful you're home safe." Pema said and then starts standing to get the empty dishes from the table.
"Let me help you." Asami said helping the pregnant woman and they go for the kitchen.
"Korra, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened." Tenzin said making the Avatar a brief moment to recollect her thoughts.
"Well, first off, Tarrlok isn't who he says he is He's…Yakone's son." Korra said shocking both Lin and Tenzin.
"Yakone? Who is that?" Sasuke asked.
"I remember my father telling me about him when I was young. He was one of Republic City's most notorious crime lords. He was known for his unusual Bloodbending abilities." Tenzin said.
"I think I read about it once. It's an ability only learned by Waterbenders that allows them to control blood within a person's body, right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah. Katara learned that ability too, but she hated it and made it illegal." Korra said.
"It all makes sense. So, that's how Tarrlok managed to Bloodbend us without a full moon." Lin said.
"But how did you escape and where's Tarrlok?" Tenzin asked.
"Amon captured him and took his bending." Korra answered shocking them even more.
"What?!" Tenzin and Lin asked shocked.
"So, Tarrlok was next to fall. Can't say he got what was coming to him." Sasuke said.
"Yeah, Amon just showed up out of nowhere and he almost had me too, but that's not the worse part." Korra said.
"There's more?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes. Amon wants to capture you too, Sasuke." Korra said making everyone gasp in shock and Sasuke is also shocked.
"Me?! Why would Amon want with me?" Sasuke asked.
"No doubt he wants you for whatever powers you have. The eyes turning red, making lightning, shooting fireballs from your mouth, transforming into a winged monster and make black lightning. He thinks that by getting rid of me, you won't have anyone so you'll have no choice but to obey him." Korra said.
"So, basically, to him, I'm just a slave, who has no choice but to serve him." Sasuke said.
"But, Korra, how did you figure all that out?" Tenzin asked.
"While I was locked up, I somehow connected with Aang's memories." Korra answered.
"This is very disturbing news. Amon is becoming emboldened, taking down a councilman, almost capturing the Avatar. I fear Amon is entering his endgame." Tenzin said and everyone looks at each other worried.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Pema and Asami are washing dishes but then Pema doubles over and cries in pain.
"Pema, are you alright?" Asami asked placing her hand on Pema's shoulder.
"The baby is…just kicking, really hard, is all. I'm fine." Pema said.
"Should I get Tenzin?" Asami asked.
"No reason to worry him. It's nothing." Pema said.
Just then Mako walks into the kitchen carrying a teapot.
"Can I get some water? Korra needs more tea." Mako said.
"YOU'RE a Firebender. Boil it yourself." Asami said washing dishes in a bitter tone making the Firebender confused.
"I'm…gonna step out in case you kids want to talk." Pema said walking out while having a worried expression.
"Is there something we need to talk about?" Mako asked and Asami gives him a stern look.
"I've noticed how you've been treating Korra. How you acted when she was missing." Asami said dropping the plates and washcloth into the sink. "You have feelings for her, don't you?" Asami asked.
"What? No! She was taken by a crazy Bloodbender! How did you expect me to act?" Mako asked.
"Don't get me wrong, I like Korra and I'm grateful for her generosity, but you've been keeping the truth from me this whole time." Asami said.
"The truth? About what?" Mako asked.
"You're seriously going to make me say it?" Asami asked.
"Yes! Because I don't know what you're talking about!" Mako said.
"The kiss, Mako. I know." Asami said making Mako shocked.
"I…well…I… Bolin told you, didn't he?" Mako asked.
"Don't blame your brother for what you did! Do you have feelings for Korra or not?" Asami asked in an angry tone.
"Look, things are crazy right now. Can we deal with our relationship problems later?" Mako asked placing his hand on the heiress' shoulder who angrily swatted it away.
"Well, there might not be any relationship to worry about later." Asami said walking off.
"Asami!" Mako called but groans in anger as she's now gone.
Outside Tenzin is walking through the courtyard and then Korra comes to him.
"Tenzin, can I talk to you?" Korra asked.
"Of course. Are you still feeling alright?" Tenzin asked.
"Yeah, I just…want to tell you about this vision I had." Korra said.
"What is it?" Tenzin asked.
"When I was trapped in that box, I tried to meditate, like you said, but when I did, couldn't master it. It didn't feel right, so I started thinking about my friends and much they mean to me. When I did, I felt peace in me and then I started talking to Aang and asked for his help. Has this ever happened?" Korra asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe you just meditated differently, but whatever happened, I'm glad you're still alright?" Tenzin said placing hid hand on her shoulder.
Just then Lin comes out.
"You wanted to see me?" Lin asked.
"I better go find Sasuke." Korra said leaving.
"Lin, um…I-I need to ask you a favor. It would mean the world to me…but I-I know it could be a potentially awkward situation; furthermore…" Tenzin was cut off.
"Just spit it out already!" Lin said impatiently.
"Will you stay and watch over Pema and the children while I meet the council? With everything that has happened lately, I want to be sure my family is in safe hands." Tenzin said.
"Of course I'll help, old friend." Lin said placing her hand on Tenzin's shoulder.
"I didn't realize you two were OUT here." A voice said and they see Pema holding Meelo.
"Pema, yes. Lin has agreed to help out around here and keep an eye on things while I'm away." Tenzin said.
"Thank you! I could use the extra pair of hands. Would you mind giving Meelo a bath? He's filthy." Pema said giving the youngest Airbender to Lin who is reluctant while Meelo sticks his tongue out and blows a raspberry.
"This is not what I signed up for!" Lin yelled at Tenzin while holding Meelo away from her.
"Thank you, Lin!" Tenzin called while mounting on Oogi who flies off.
"I gotta poo! Really bad!" Meelo said making Lin quickly Metalbend a cable around him to avoid touching him while making a disgusted face and walks off.
Meanwhile in the courtyard Sasuke is punching at a tree that has a picture of Amon on it and is delivering a flurry of punches and roundhouse kicks at the picture and then delivers a strong punch at the tree destroying it and knocking it to the ground and Sasuke breathes heavily.
"Sasuke?" A voice asked and Sasuke turns to see Korra walking to him. "There you are. I've been wanting to talk to you." Korra said.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm sure you can't get Amon out of your mind, huh?" Korra asked.
"No. I can't stand him." Sasuke said.
"Are you scared of him?" Korra asked.
"No. I'm not scared of him." Sasuke said.
"It's okay to be. I mean, you know how I went through. I denied being scared, but I am." Korra said.
"I guess I'm a little scared of him. Not just about him wanting to take me away, but willing to take you out to do so." Sasuke said.
"It's okay. Everything will be fine." Korra said placing her hand on Sasuke's head.
"And if it's not? If anything happens to you, it will be because of me. I won't forgive myself if that happened." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke, no one's gonna take you away and I'm not going anywhere. Amon's been planning to destroy me long before he even knew about you, so it's not your fault. It's okay to be scared, because I am too, but we can't let that keep us from doing what we need to do. I'll always be there for you." Korra said.
"Yeah. We'll stop Amon together." Sasuke said.
"That's my boy." Korra said.
Meanwhile in Republic City in a house a Fire Nation representative of the council is pacing around the room while her husband is reading a newspaper.
"Do you know where my keys are? I can't find them anywhere." The Fire Nation councilwoman said.
"No, dear." The husband answered still reading the newspaper and is uninterested.
"Oh, found them!" The Fire Nation councilwoman said finding the keys in her purse.
"Good, dear." The husband said still uninterested.
"Don't wait up for me; this council session will probably go late into the night." The Fire Nation councilwoman said.
Just then a knock on the door is heard.
"The door, dear." The husband said still uninterested.
The Fire Nation councilwoman opens the door to find two men in exterminator uniforms in front of the doorstep.
"We're here to fix the spider-rat problem." One of the men said smiling a sly smile while holding up a hose and poison can.
"I didn't call an exterminator." The Fire Nation councilwoman said but then she gets electrocuted by the spray hose and she falls to the ground.
"Dear?" The husband asked this time worried.
Meanwhile Tenzin lands onto the roof of city hall and gets off Oogi and walks around the dome where several workers are cleaning glass windows and they nod as Tenzin walks by but then stops as he hears electricity fizzing and ducks a surprise attack as an electric disk flies over his head and spins around to see another electric disk coming at him but it misses as he lands on his feet as the workers take out electric gloves and bolas revealing they are Equalists.
The Equalists attack Tenzin who dodges and Airbends himself into the air with an air spout sending the Equalists flying backwards against the concrete wall by a gust of wind but they hold onto their bolas as they are trapped by Tenzin's powerful wind making them release their grip and are sent flying onto a nearby rooftop and Tenzin lands back on the ground.
Just then the door opens revealing the page who comes running for the Airbender.
"Ah, I'm so relieved to see you!" The page said.
"The other council members. Are they alright?" Tenzin asked.
"I'm afraid not. Just received word from Chief Saikhan. They've all been captured." The page said making Tenzin shocked.
"This can't be happening." Tenzin said.
"The leadership of Republic City is in your hands now." The page said holding his hand out to Tenzin but then they hear a sound of explosions nearby and run at the edge to see bombs falling onto the city from airships. "Oh, this is a tragic day!" The page said.
Meanwhile Korra is in her room with Sasuke and just then Mako comes in.
"Uh, hi." Mako said.
"Hi. What's up?" Korra asked.
"Nothing, I was just wanna see if you were okay." Mako said.
"Never better. Well, physically. Not emotionally…" Korra said.
"You're worried about Sasuke, huh?" Mako asked.
"Of course! I can take Amon wanting to get rid of me, but…if anything happened to Sasuke…" Korra stops talking and starts tearing up. "You have no idea how much he means to me." Korra said.
"Actually, I do. I've seen the way you care about him and how much he cares about you, even though he can be a brat. To be honest…he means a lot to me too." Mako said.
"I do…?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah. You're my friend too, Sasuke. No… You're like a little brother to me, next to Bolin and even he and Asami feel the same way about you. I won't let anything happen to you." Mako said placing his hand on Sasuke's head.
"Guess you're more than just a brooding bad boy. You do have a heart." Korra said.
"Yeah, I do. Though, Sasuke can be a grumpy, broody brat, I know he has one too. He just doesn't like showing it." Mako said.
"You just described yourself too, loser." Sasuke said small smiling.
"Thanks, brat." Mako said smiling back ruffling Sasuke's hair much to the Uchiha's annoyance.
Just then an explosion occurs outside from the window making the three look outside.
"Now what?" Sasuke asked.
"Let's take a look outside." Korra said as they run out.
Outside Lin, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and White Lotus sentries see Equalist airships flying over the city.
"Alright, kids, time to go inside." Lin said and the kids so what she says and Korra, Sasuke, Mako, Bolin, and Asami come running out.
"We heard explosions. What's going on?" Korra asked now wearing her parka.
"Republic City is under attack." Lin said making them shocked.
"Tenzin's still out there." Sasuke said.
"We have to find him! Sasuke, stay here with Lin." Korra said.
"No." Sasuke said.
"What?" Korra asked.
"I'm coming along too!" Sasuke said.
"Are you sure?" Korra asked.
"Yes! I know you're trying to protect me, but I'm NOT staying hidden away like a coward. I'm NOT letting you face Amon alone!" Sasuke said and Korra sighs.
"Even if I did refuse and tell you to stay put, you'd do something reckless and disobey anyway. Fine. You can come." Korra said.
"Glad we understand each other." Sasuke said.
"He's just as stubborn as you are." Mako said.
"Guess he's been hanging out with me too much that it's been rubbing off." Korra said and they start moving.
"Wait!" Lin called making them stop. "I'll probably regret this, but here." Lin said taking out a bag and throwing it at Sasuke who catches it and looks into the bag.
"These are…" Sasuke stops talking.
"Yes. Your weapons that I confiscated for a while. I figured you would need these back, so I guess now is the time, but promise me you'll use them for good and not kill anyone." Lin said.
"No promises." Sasuke said making Lin sigh in annoyance.
"You REALLY are stubborn. Just be careful." Lin said.
Meanwhile at an airship Hiroshi and Xiba are looking at a photo of him, his wife, Asami as a child, and Xiba as a baby and then snaps the photo shut and tucks it away in his jacket pocket and they join Amon who is watching the city from the windows at the front of the airship.
"I've dreamed of this day for so long." Hiroshi said.
"So have I! These stupid benders are gonna get what's comin'!" Xiba said.
"Yes, the time has come for the Equalists to claim Republic City as their own." Amon said and they look down at the city.
Meanwhile from across the bay of Republic City as smoke rises and sirens are going off while explosions are occurring again the gang arrive at the docks and use Tenzin's boat to reach the city and they later disembark from the boat and begin finding the car.
"Where did you say you parked the car?" Asami asked.
"It's right around here somewhere. There it is!" Korra said pointing at the parked car which it hit a lamppost causing a dent and it's over the sidewalk.
"Wow, nice parking job." Asami said sarcastically.
"Hey, you guys were arrested and left me alone with the car. I made it very clear; I don't know how to drive." Korra said.
"All things considered, you did a great job. How are we gonna pay for all these parking tickets?" Bolin asked removing the tickets from the windshield but Mako takes them, crumples them up, and then burns them with his fire making the younger brother gasp.
"Relax, the city's under attack. The police have more important things to worry about." Mako said.
"He does have a point." Sasuke said.
Asami takes her electric glove from the trunk of the car and puts it in her right hand.
"This should come in handy." Asami said.
Everyone gets in the car and Mako is about to sit in the front seat next to Asami who glares at the Firebender.
"Why don't you sit in the back, next to Korra?" Asami suggested bitterly.
"I think I will." Mako said in the same bitter tone and sits at the back while Bolin sits next to Asami.
"Is everything okay?" Korra asked.
"Yeah, everything's terrific." Mako said sarcastically and bitterly.
Asami backs away the car a bit quickly before a passing car comes by.
"Car! Oh, wait we're good." Bolin said.
Asami starts driving the car really fast.
Meanwhile in the police headquarters in the control room Saikhan is in the control room.
"Chief! Air unit seven was just taken out by an Equalist airship. They crashed into the harbor." A telegraph operator informed.
"Send a river rescue unit!" Saikhan ordered.
"Chief, all the river rescue ships have been sabotaged!" A female operator informed.
"What?!" Saikhan asked shocked.
Just then Tenzin arrives.
"Chief Saikhan." Tenzin said.
"Tenzin, am I glad to see you. I was afraid you'd been captured too." Saikhan said.
"I'm the only council member left. What's the status?" Tenzin asked.
"Amon has launched simultaneous attacks across the boroughs. The police are trying to regain control, but we're spread too thin." Saikhan said.
"I need to send a wire." Tenzin said stroking his beard.
"To whom, Councilman?" The male telegraph operator asked.
"The general of the United Forces." Tenzin said.
Meanwhile in the halls of the police headquarters people run in both directions and smoke pours out of the air vents and people start coughing and fall.
"Councilman, you wire has been sent." The male operator informed.
"Chief, the phone lines just went dead!" The female operator said making both Tenzin and Saikhan shocked and just then an alarm goes off and the power goes out silencing the alarm.
Saikhan turns on a flashlight and gives one to Tenzin and they search the room and Tenzin sees smoke coming out from a vent.
"Saikhan, the vents." Tenzin said and Saikhan Metalbends the vents shut as people in the room are coughing. "We need to evacuate immediately. Everyone stay close to me." Tenzin said as the hallways are filled with smoke but Tenzin creates an air dome around him, Saikhan, and the workers and they later reach outside as Tenzin stops his Airbending but then mecha tanks arrive. "Not these mecha tanks again!" Tenzin said
The mecha tanks hold up magnetic arms and pulls the Metalbenders' uniforms and two Metalbenders are caught with the magnets but Tenzin tries to save Saikhan from being pulled with an air current but Saikhan gets captured as well.
Three mecha tanks deposit the uniforms into a truck while another mecha tank fires a pincer cable at Tenzin who Airbends at the cable and it wraps around the mecha tank but two more mecha tanks fire at Tenzin who deflects them with his Airbending but a mecha tank charges a pincer cable knocking the Airbender against a wall but Tenzin uses his air wheel to break the fall but he finds the trucks holding the metal cops and Saikhan driving away.
"Saikhan, no!" Tenzin said and then looks up to see a burning police airship falling from behind a building and also sees telegraph operators being captured by Equalists on city hall steps and Tenzin's vision starts to become blurry as a mecha tank gets close to him.
Meanwhile Asami drives rapidly as possible until they arrive at city hall which is being attacked by mecha tanks.
"Damn, mecha tanks." Sasuke said.
"And they've got Tenzin!" Korra said seeing a truck of Equalists taking hostages and Tenzin is among them.
Asami hits the gas pedal and Bolin creates two ramps with Earthbending making the car rise into the air.
"JUMP!" Asami shouted and they all jump out of the car before it fly and crash into a mecha tank knocking it into the ground as the car bursts into flames.
The mecha tanks begin to attack them by unleashing extension cables at Mako and they electrocute him making the Firebender scream in pain as electricity surges through his body but Sasuke uses his kunais to slash through the cables breaking them and release Mako and then Sasuke delivers a powerful roundhouse kick at the mecha tank knocking it down but another mecha tank fires a cable at Sasuke getting him in the gut making the Uchiha fall but Mako quickly rushes in and grabs him.
"You okay?" Mako asked.
"Y-Yeah…" Sasuke said and gets back on his feet.
With the earth ramp Korra runs up to one of the tanks and then delivers a water strike into the tank's exhaust outlet making it not attack allowing Bolin to unleash an earth pillar under the tank knocking it down.
Asami electrocutes Equalists taking Tenzin but two more Equalists are behind her but Sasuke delivers punches and kicks and then delivers strikes with his kunais defeating them and Tenzin wakes up.
"You okay?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, thank you." Tenzin said.
Tenzin then joins the fight and against the last mecha tank and Sasuke throws shurikens at the exhaust outlet allowing Tenzin to unleash an air blast from underneath sending it into the sky and it lands on a building while Sasuke runs from the tanks' cables and then manages to grab the cable and starts wrapping it around the tank allowing Korra to knock it down with Waterbending.
Above an airship Hiroshi watches the fight via telescope and is disgusted.
"Tenzin has escaped once again. I can't stand to see Asai fighting alongside those…benders! And that annoying Uchiha boy is causing nothing but trouble like they are. What's worse is that he's siding with those benders!" Hiroshi said with scorn.
"You sure you want to have him?" Xiba asked.
"He has excellent promise. He's the one with the right amount of power to make mine invincible and accelerate our dream of equality." Amon said.
"But he's with the Avatar! You said it yourself, he appears to only be bound with her!" Hiroshi said.
"For now. He will soon be…reeducated and then you will have your daughter back." Amon said.
The mecha tanks are finally defeated and they are broken down.
"I dunno about you, but I dig this Team Uchiha Avatar power!" Bolin said.
"Not that name…" Sasuke said face palming.
"Are you alright, Tenzin?" Korra asked.
"I'm fine, thanks to you kids. Another moment later, and I would have been on my way to Amon." Tenzin said.
"Uh, guys…look." Mako said pointing at Air Temple Island and there are Equalists airships heading for it.
"Oh, no…" Tenzin said horrified.
"Dammit." Sasuke said.
The lieutenant hatches open the door of the airship and he and a group of chi-blockers look down as a metal hook and a cable fire from above their heads and attach to the temple's stone steps and chi-blockers use harnesses to slide down the cable to the island and White Lotus sentries guarding the island charge forward to confront them.
Meanwhile Lin sees airships and prepares herself to fight the Equalists and Pema, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo stand with her.
"Everyone, hide inside and remain clam." Lin said but then Pema starts screaming in pain. "Pull it together, Pema! Didn't I just say 'remain calm'?" Lin asked.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Ikki asked.
"The baby's coming!" Pema said shocking them.
"Oh, no!" Jinora said.
"Not now, baby!" Meelo said.
Two female Air Acolytes rush over to Pema and lead her inside.
The White Lotus sentries watch as chi-blockers run up the steps and they start bending at them with their own elements as a cable from a second airship buries itself in the steps below them and more chi-blockers swing down and follow the lieutenant as Lin stands ready.
The lieutenant and a group of chi-blockers race up the steps and charge at Lin who uses her cables to take down two chi-blockers before grabbing another one with the cable but then an Equalist runs up to her but she intercepts with an earth column and then bends out another earth column and shoots it to an Equalist's face and then Lin slams the ground creating three earth columns sending the Equalists into the air.
Meanwhile Pema is in bed as an Air Acolyte puts a cloth on her forehead.
"The children, where are they?" Pema asked.
"Don't worry. They're in the other room, totally safe." A female Air Acolyte said.
Back outside Lin is fighting the lieutenant who intercepts her cables with his batons and sends a current through them to knock her over and the lieutenant stand over her and raises his electric kali stick.
"Stay away from my dad's ex-girlfriend!" Jinora yelled from behind while flying with her glider and then uses it to blow wind at the lieutenant away over a nearby roof.
"Jinora, you shouldn't be here!" Lin said.
Just then Ikki arrives on her air scooter and knocks several Equalists over.
"Get off our island!" Ikki yelled knocking more Equalists and joins Jinora and Ikki.
"Girls, you need to get back inside THIS instant!" Lin yelled.
Just then Meelo jumps down from the roof.
"Taste my fury!" Meelo yelled farting on an Equalist's face knocking him out.
"Meelo, be careful!" Lin called but Meelo sends three air blasts from his hands and rear and then makes a small air shield around himself to send remaining Equalists flying and makes an awkward face. "Never mind." Lin said.
Later the Equalists are bound in a row in front of Lin, the Air children, and the White Lotus sentries.
"Take these Equalists and lock them in the temple's basement!" Lin ordered and the White Lotus obey. "Nice work, kids." Lin said.
Just then Oogi comes to the courtyard.
"Dad!" Jinora cheered as Oogi lands and they get off the bison.
"Oh, thank goodness you're alright!" Tenzin said hugging his children.
"We caught the bad guys." Meelo said climbing onto Tenzin's shoulder and pulls on his father's head.
"You let them fight?! Do you realize what could have happened?" Tenzin asked.
"I would have been toast if it weren't for your kids. You should be proud. You taught them well." Lin said and Tenzin smiles at his children who smile back. "Go on, be with your wife." Lin said.
Tenzin runs down the hall and he hears crying.
"Pema!" Tenzin said and arrives at the room where he finds Pema holding a newborn baby.
"Tenzin." Pema said.
"I'm here, Pema." Tenzin said sitting next to his wife.
"Our new son." Pema said handing the baby boy to Tenzin who carries him.
"Hello." Tenzin said and Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo peer into the room. "Come, meet your new brother." Tenzin said.
"A brother? Well, it's about time." Meelo said.
"Welcome! I'm Ikki, and this is Jinora and Meelo. We have a super great family and we're so happy that you're a part of it." Ikki said.
"What're you gonna name him? Can I pick?" Jinora asked.
"We already chose a name." Pema said.
"Rohan." Tenzin said.
Korra, Sasuke, Mako, and Lin watch from a near doorway.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but more airships are coming." Korra said.
"Everything's NOT gonna be fine, is it, Daddy?" Ikki asked.
Outside the gang all see incoming airships.
"What do you want to do, Tenzin?" Korra asked and the Airbender sighs.
"I need to protect my family and get them as far away from this conflict as possible. If Amon got his hands on my children…I hate to even think about it." Tenzin said.
"If you're leaving, then I'm coming with you." Lin said.
"But…" Tenzin was cut off.
"No arguments! You and your family are the last Airbenders. There's NO way in the world I'm letting Amon take your bending away." Lin said.
"Thank you, Lin. Korra, I want you and Sasuke to leave this island and hide for the time being." Tenzin said.
"I'm NOT giving up." Korra said.
"I'm not asking you to. I sent word to the United Forces, they will be here soon and once my family is safe, I will return. With reinforcements, we can turn the tide in this war." Tenzin said.
"What you're saying is…we need to be patient." Korra said dismayed.
"You're learning well." Tenzin said placing his hand on the Avatar's shoulder.
"If you're going, then Sasuke should come with you." Korra said.
"No!" Sasuke said.
"Look, Sasuke, you've done great and fought hard and I know we're strong together, but I can't put you in any more danger." Korra said.
"Actually, Korra, Sasuke will remain safe with you." Tenzin said.
"But, Tenzin…" Korra was cut off.
"Me and my family will be safe. I may not know much of Sasuke's abilities, but I'm certain of one thing…you two found each other for a reason. I know that together with your friends, you can defeat Amon." Tenzin said.
"Then, it's settled." Sasuke said.
Lin, Pema, and the children get on Oogi and before Tenzin could join he hugs Korra.
"Stay safe, Korra." Tenzin said.
"You too." Korra said.
Just then Jinora hugs Sasuke.
"What's that for?" Sasuke asked.
"Please, stay safe for me." Jinora said as a tear starts to drop.
"I'll be fine. Just stay safe with your family." Sasuke said and Jinora blushes a little.
"I will. Beat up Amon and teach him a lesson." Jinora said.
"He'll get what's coming to him." Sasuke said and Jinora gets on Oogi.
"Sasuke, I know you and Korra will be there for each other. Promise you will be in one piece." Tenzin said.
"I will." Sasuke said.
"Tenzin, if we're leaving, we'd better do it now." Lin said and Tenzin Airbends himself on Oogi.
"Yip, yip!" Tenzin said and Oogi starts flying off and Korra sadly watches them leave.
"They'll be fine, Korra." Sasuke said but then they see the airships coming their way and metal cables start coming down and make contact to the ground and more Equalists come down.
"Go, we'll hold them off." One of the White Lotus sentries said and Korra gets on Naga.
"Everybody get on!" Korra said and they all get on the polar bear-dog and Naga starts running off.
"Mustache guy!" Bolin yelled pointing at the lieutenant who slides down the slope and jumps to attack but Naga jumps and delivers a slapping strike with her paw.
"Nice one, Naga!" Korra said.
"Stay close!" Sasuke said as Naga jumps into the water and Korra bends an air bubble around them as Naga paddles deeper into the water.
Meanwhile Tenzin and his family are flying away but then an Equalist airship comes and attacks and shoots a giant net at Oogi but Lin Metalbends her cable to destroy the net and then wraps her cable around the rope and then looks at the family with sad eyes as they look at the airship with fear.
"Whatever happens to me, don't turn back!" Lin said.
"Lin, what are you doing?!" Tenzin asked but Lin jumps off Oogi and reels herself up and lands on the airship.
Lin starts ripping off a large section of the airship's metal skin and an explosion occurs and the ship starts falling into a harbor below but Lin catapults herself to the next airship and starts ripping apart the airship but then Equalists come and wrap their bolas around her and she is electrocuted and is now unconscious and the family look back shocked.
"That lady is my hero." Meelo said.
"Yes, she is." Tenzin said sadly as Oogi keeps flying.
Meanwhile the gang are now at a drainage pipe near the bay and Korra watches in dismay as Equalist airships raid Air Temple Island.
"Korra, we should get moving." Mako said and they walk deeper into the tunnels and Asami looks at them with disdain before joining them.
"Mako, thanks for saving Sasuke for me." Korra said.
"Don't mention it. I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to him." Mako said.
"I would have done the same to you." Sasuke said.
Meanwhile Lin has her hands tied behind her back and is forced to kneel in front of Amon as rain is pouring from the dark sky.
"Tell me where the Avatar and that boy are and I'll let you keep your bending." Amon said.
"I won't tell you anything, you monster!" Lin said.
"Very well." Amon said walking behind her as Lin closes her eyes ready for what will happen and Amon places his thumb on her forehead and Lin gasps in horror as her bending is being taken away and as it's over Lin falls to the ground unconscious and the Equalists drag her limp body away. "Find the Avatar and discover where she's hiding!" Amon commanded.
"We'll do our best, sir, but we don't know where…" The lieutenant was cut off.
"FIND HER! I don't care what it takes. Find her and that boy and bring them to me!" Amon commanded and the lieutenant salutes.
"Yes, sir. We'll do our best." The lieutenant said.
"You better." Amon said looking at the city. "I WILL find you, Avatar, even if I have to tear this city upside-down to do it and that boy WILL be mine!" Amon said.
Meanwhile a ship is sailing for Republic City and a man walks over to another man who is wearing a strapping Fire Nation outfit.
"General, I just received a wire from the Avatar. She says Amon and his forces have gained control of the city. How do you want to respond?" The man asked.
"Tell her we will be arriving in three day's time and that I look forward to winning back Republic City, together." The general said.
"As you wish, General Iroh." The man said saluting and walks off.
Another chapter finished. I hope this chapter was worth the wait for you, and I'll doing another one soon, but remember, PLEASE do NOT send my any update requests via review. I thought I made myself clear on that. Jut don't do it and there won't be problems. Thank you. Anyway, I'll see you in the next chapter. See ya then and take care!
