Someone gave me the prompt of Korra going into the Avatar state, but I looked back through the reviews and couldn't find it. I'm so sorry. Whoever sent me that prompt, here is your chapter :)
Her anger is so strong, burning through her like fire. Tears make her vision blurry, until she can no longer see her surroundings, until her chest is squeezing with the effort of not sobbing, because sue has to be strong now, she has to keep fighting-
And then she sees the electricity arching towards her, crackling like fire and lightning never can-
And she screams. A horrible, earsplitting screech that is so loud it makes the people surrounding her cover their ears. But she can't hear it. Fire is burning in the pit of her stomach, earth is trembling under her feet, air is swirling all around her head, and water is circling her palms. She has never felt this alive, or this furious.
Raw, unchecked power flows through her, tingling across her entire body. She clenches her eyes shut-
The energy has reached her head. It flares up, burning hot. And in her mind, comes the shouts and cries of a thousand voices. Her eyes snap open, and guided by an instinct and power she never knew she had, her body moves, flows, and the elements respond.
Fire arcs from her feet with a quick of her heels, earth slips and stabs at her command, water explodes from it's cage in her palms, and air carries her upward, higher than she ever thought possible.
Distantly, she hears people screaming, pointing, pleading. But she doesn't care.
Her emotions are so strong that she can't bear to keep them in-she shouts and kicks and bends. Power burns through her whole body, and the voices scream louder in her head, but strangely, she doesn't mind them. Because they're her voice really. They share her rage and pain and frustration, and-
Slowly, slowly, the power leaves her, tingling back from her head, along her arms, until finally, it reaches her toes. She sinks back to the ground, water falling back to it's source with a faint splash, the fire flickering out existence, the earth ceasing it's wild rippling.
She collapses against the ground, feeling lightheaded and disoriented.
When she blinks her eyes open, and sees Tenzin's concerned expression, the emotions come back, not as strong as before. They do not burn through her with wild power. They ache and tear at her until she wants burry herself in the ground and never come out.
"Korra?" He says softly. "Can you hear me?"
She bursts into tears and buries her head in her arms, not even caring that the whole city may be watching. She barely feels Tenzin's arms coming around her before blackness washes over her vision, and she slips into unconsciousness.
