Chapter 38: The Necklace Takes Control

"Korra, what are you thinking?" Tenzin asked after seeing Xian go flying through the air.

"What am I thinking Tenzin? I'm thinking that she used Asami as bait, our good friend just so that she could lure that piece of crap here. I'm thinking that she used us, she used all of us. I want him captured as much as anyone else but I would never use people to do so. She is no better then her good for nothing sister as far as I'm concerned." Korra now has tears streaming down her face. "Just leave me alone Tenzin." Korra picked up Katara's body as well as Mako's and set them against the wall. Quickly she felt Mako's pulse and found he has one. 'Thank you Master Katara.' Korra then grabbed onto her chest feeling it burn.

Asami and Bolin just stared at Korra with sad eyes. Tenzin had to disagree with what Korra did but he couldn't blame her. He was ready to throw her into the ocean. Everyone stayed so silent that Korra's soft cries and gasps could be heard.

Soon a boat came up to the island and off stepped Iroh. He walked up the steps until he reached Tenzins home. He looked over at Korra who is crying from the sounds of it. A giant rock pillar is aimed at Republic City. Near it lays a dead bloody body. "Tenzin, what's going on?" Iroh asked from behind.

Tenzin turned and found Iroh behind him. "Let's just say that there are a few deaths, one being my mother."

Iroh's eyes grew wide and then he looked over at Korra. "I'll let the Avatar have this night to herself then." With that said, Iroh walked off.

The next day and Mako woke to find Korra next to him but he couldn't figure out why they're outside. He grabbed Korra in a hug which woke her up. "Sorry love, I didn't mean to wake you."

Korra looked up in Mako's eyes slowly and then smiled. "I" Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Katara's dead body. Korra fell silent and then leaned into Mako's chest.

"Korra, what happened last night?" Korra stayed silent not wanting to talk about it. Mako nodded and then hugged Korra tighter. He looked down at Korra and then noticed something. "Korra, are you pregnant by chance?"

Korra looked at Mako oddly but replied. "No why would you say that?"

"It's just that your eyes are white. I could be wrong but doesn't that mean your in the Avatar State?" Mako said with a gentle smile on his face.

Korra reached down to touch her stomach. 'I couldn't be right? Sure we did it on our wedding night but I couldn't be after just once right?' Questions ran through her head wondering if she isn't still angry about last night. 'Then again my chest burned last night after the fight. Still, it burned when I first fused it with myself. It's just a delayed effect is all.' Korra tried to tell herself that she isn't pregnant but she couldn't shake the feeling that she is. "I suppose that I am." That was all Korra could manage to say. "I don't understand how it could possibly know that quickly though. It's only been what, a little less than a week since we." Korra cut herself off.

"So what are we going to do about Sukra then?" Mako asked.

"I fight him and take him out." Korra stood up and looked toward Republic City and then her chest began burning again. This time it really began burning, tears started to form in Korra's eyes from the pain. She could feel the necklace moving as if it is trying to leave her body. Eventually it became too much and she finally screamed out loud. Tenzin and everyone else on the island heard her scream. Korra fell to her knees while holding onto her chest. Soon she couldn't breathe or move. She began to sweat profusely and then she became completely engulfed in fire. The four elements then began swirling around her body. Mako stared at Korra unable to help. He tried but when he got close, the heat became too much for him. The others came out of the building in time to see steam coming off of Korra.

"Mako, what's going on?" Tenzin ran over with the others behind him. "What's going on with Korra?" Tenzin asked as he tried to get close but found the heat too much.

Korra's clothes then began burning off of her and her body began to glow completely white. Her body began rising into the air and when she turned around, she appeared to be wearing a wet suit that covers her from top to bottom. The only thing visible is her eyes and mouth which are also white. The only thing different from the rest of her is the necklace that glows white, green, red, and blue. Korra then spoke in a deep scary voice, however, her smile betrays her voice. "You must not follow me, I will fight Sukra and end this today. My mind has been cleared and I can see more then I ever thought possible. I will return." With that, Korra flew off quickly using the air to keep her up.

Everyone watching this became speechless. Nothing could be said at this point; everyone is quiet and it stayed so until Asami turned and threw up.

Korra's mind raced as she did, seeing through the elements to find Sukra. 'My feelings want you dead but my mind and heart is too close to Aang.' That was the only thought that went through her head as she searched for Sukra. She knew that one way or another, Sukra would be found, his bending will be taken, and all will be well. That is her only focus now, nothing would interrupt her task. Soon she found Sukra and she smiled as she had a speed boost from the wind.
