Republic City
Lin and Kanan wore their new Police Force uniforms designed by Shisui and Kanan. They wore double layered leather armor with rubber as the second layer, metal cable belts layered with rubber, rubber soled boots, and strips of metal placed were it made them look respectable.
Kanan had ditched his staff, but unlike his mothers, or the other members new uniforms, his had two strips of bulky metal on his arms. Shisui and Sasuke wore their Shinobi styled uniform. The reason these four were together was because they were out to rescue the captured metal benders.
"Alright, after logical assumption and narrowing it down, we think we've found where a large majority of the Equalists operate." Kanan stated as he and Lin led Sasuke and Shisui down to the tunnels. "See the tire tracks which lead inside?"
Sasuke nodded. "It's a safe bet that it's the Equalists since the gang members aren't known for their use of motorcycles."
Shisui stared at the tracks before turning to Lin. "Do you think the four of us will be enough for this chief?"
"I'm positive." Lin stated. "To many going in might alert the Equalists. With a small team of our most skilled, we have a good chance of rescuing the men if they're down there. Unless any of you have any more questions, we'll begin."
No one did, so they entered the underground tunnels.
Underground Tunnels
Lin, Kanan, Shisui, and Sasuke were walking along the tunnels when they heard motorcycles approaching. Lin signaled for everyone to hide, and they did just that. From their hiding place they observed a section of the wall open allowing two Equalists inside.
The group ran over and Lin metal bent the lock on the inside before bending it open allowing them in. She led the way as the four of them ran through the secret tunnel. They came upon one many Equalists bases.
They hid as an Equalists pulled in and got off a tram. "Everything was delivered to the prison sir."
"That must be where they're keeping our men." Kanan whispered.
Shisui whispered, "We need to get down that tunnel."
The group snuck onto the tram and moved down the track only to jump off near the end letting it ride in to get the attention of the guards. Kanan sent out his cables ensnaring and capturing them both. The group then continued into the prison.
Lin looked at Sasuke and Shisui. "You two, keep an eye on them." She and Kanan continued to the stairs where Lin used seismic sense to get the layout of the area. "They're here."
Lin and Kanan continued up the stairs and towards the cell blocks when they were confronted by two Equalists getting ready to throw bolas.
"I got this." Kanan declared.
The two metal strips on his arms deployed into full shields which he metal bent of his arms and into the guts of the two Equalists slamming them into the walls. He returned the shields and they returned to metal strips.
Lin nodded and patted his shoulder. "Good job."
They moved to a cell and Lin bent an opening as she and Kanan walked in to see the men.
"Chief Beifong and Deputy Chief Kanan?" One of the men questioned unsure of themselves.
Lin looked away. "I'm to late." She looked at the man. "That monster already took your bending, didn't he?"
The guard nodded sadly.
Lin sighed and shook her head. "I'm so sorry we didn't find you sooner."
Kanan said, "We here now, and we're going to get you out of here." They both walked out. "Let's move"
The men followed them as they returned to Sasuke and Shisui. The moment they arrived, the alarm went off.
"We need to get out of here." Sasuke stated.
Everyone ran to the tram and it sped off as they were followed by a tram full of Equalists.
"Shisui, cover me." Sasuke declared.
Shisui nodded. "You got it."
He began throwing shuriken and weaving hand signs. "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Every shuriken Shisui threw, turned into ten while Sasuke built up lighting.
When Sasuke was ready, he stepped forward. "Chidori Senbon!"
He threw out senbon comprised of lighting nature hitting multiple points on the tram. This shocked not only it but every member aboard. They all fell unconscious as the tram came to a stop.
Lin stared ahead which showed Mangetsu, Kyoshi Warrior, Equalist soldiers, and mecha tanks waiting for them. "We got more company. She bent down some metal from above creating a new path. "Hold on."
They moved up it and Lin bent a whole through the roof getting them back into the main tunnel. Kanan then bent them an escape route. The mission had been a success and the men were free.
Air Temple Island, Evening…
Sasuke, in his police uniform, met up with Korra, Bolin, Mako, and Asami. Asami wore her headband as a belt, Bolin had his on his forehead, and Mako wore his around the right arm. After a week of training, it was time for Team Uchiha Avatar to patrol the city.
"Alright, let's do this." Korra stated pumped.
"Slow down Korra." Sasuke stated. "We still need transportation, and there's no way Naga can support us all."
Asami smiled. "Don't worry because I got the perfect transportation."
"If it's what I think it is, I'll need to grab my motorcycle." Sasuke stated.
Republic City:Garage
Korra, Bolin, and Mako waited as two doors opened. Asami came out of one in a car while Sasuke exited the other atop a police issue motorcycle.
Asami wore an an Equalists glove on her left hand. "Think these will do?"
Mako smiled. "I like Team Uchiha Avatar's style."
Mako, Bolin, and Korra hopped into the car as Sasuke pulled up alongside them. They then drove off
Korra leaned forward. "So, I've been meaning to ask, what exactly did Sasuke grant you two, Bolin and Asami?"
Bolin smiled. "Sasuke said he has a lot of faith in me, so he gave me this Blood Line Limit he said was super powerful. It's an Advanced Release that combines earth and water natures. It's called Wood Style."
Asami said, "He thought about giving me something called the Byakugan but ended up deciding on the Sharingan which came with a fire nature."
Korra nodded. "Wow, that's pretty cool."
Sasuke said, "Coolness has nothing to do with it Korra." Sasuke stated as he pulled up next to them. "I merely gave them Blood Line Limits I thought they could handle and use well."
"Calling all units, please respond to the 5600 block of Dragon Flat's Borough. Equalists have taken to the street. Consider them armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution." The police radio on Sasuke's bike and Asami's car had picked up a police broad cast.
"I'll get us there quick." Sasuke sped ahead of the car and turned on his sirens.
Dragon's Flat Borough
Everyone of Team Uchiha Avatar noticed that the entire section of the city was without power.
"This isn't right. If Equalists have taken to the streets, you wouldn't turn off the power." Sasuke thought.
Both vehicles pulled up to the scene to find Tarrlock and Lin arguing in the distance. There were metal bending police in a line, but they seemed rather uncomfortable to be here. Kanan was standing on a truck trying to calm the people.
Kanan held up his hands. "Everyone, please calm down. We are doing everything within our power to get your electricity back on. Just return to your homes, and I promise we'll have this sorted shortly."
The team approached and Asami said, "Hold on a second, these people aren't armed or dangerous."
"Sure, doesn't look that way." Korra agreed.
"You say you'll turn our power back on, but it's been an hour now. How long do we have to wait?"
"Mommy look, it's the Avatar."
"Please, you have to help us. You're our Avatar to."
Everyone looked at her, so Korra stepped forward. "Please everyone, just stay calm. I'm going to put an end to this."
Team Uchiha Avatar walked over to Lin and Tarrlock.
"Tarrlock, you've gone to far." Lin stated. "Turn their power back on immediately."
"I won't do that Lin." Tarrlock stated. "These people are Equalists, so you only need to worry about doing as I say."
Lin said, "Tarrlock, that new rule you implemented is only in effect concerning non-benders. It gives you no right to shut down their power. You're either going to turn in back on and leave or you will be arrested immediately."
"You don't have the guts." Tarrlock threatened. "You do this, and you can kiss your career good-bye."
Lin looked at Sasuke. "Officer Uchiha, arrest this man in the next three seconds unless he decides to turn the power back on and leave."
"Yes, Chief Beifong." Sasuke stated as he started approaching Tarrlock while counting. "1, 2…"
Tarrlock grit his teeth and clenched his fist. "This isn't over Beifong." He walked away. "A new law will be in place before you know it, and there will be nothing you can do." He walked past Korra and Sasuke. "You two better not interfere if you know what's good for you."
"That guy is the worst." Mako stated.
Bolin nodded. "I couldn't agree more."
Lin walked over to the team. "First thing in the morning, he's going to work to make this all legal. Knowing everyone on the council, all but Tenzin are going to continue rolling over and accepting whatever laws he makes."
"As much as I don't want to suggest it Lin, the force may need to make a bigger stand." Sasuke stated.
"I couldn't agree with you more Sasuke." Lin walked away. "Be at City Hall tomorrow at 10. The force will show Tarrlock that we won't stand for his laws any longer. We stand with the people not the higher ups."
"Right chief." Sasuke followed her. "I'll tell Shisui as well."
Korra just stared after Tarrlock knowing this all had to end before he made things worse than they already were.
Air Temple Island, Later…
Korra stared out her window as a gentle snow fell. Sasuke was still with Lin at the police station and Shisui had been called in as well meaning no one should notice as she left the island.
Korra roused Naga. "Come on Naga, let's go."
Republic City, Near City Hall
Korra got off Naga. "Stay here girl. I won't be long." Naga nuzzled her. "Don't worry, I'll be alright."
Tarrlock's Office
Tarrlock's office had a massive waterfall behind him as he worked on some papers. The assistant to the council stood nearby in case he needed anything. Their attention was drawn to the window as the Avatar opened it entering the room.
"You and I need to talk." Korra declared firmly as she approached the desk.
Tarrlock didn't take his eyes off her, but he did address the assistant. "Are any of the other council members here?"
"I believe everyone had gone home for the night." The assistant replied.
"Then you should do the same." Tarrlock suggested.
"Are you sure sir?" The assistant asked worried.
Tarrlock ordered, "Leave us." Once the assistant was gone, he addressed Korra. "You obviously have something on your mind. Spit it out."
"Don't you see?" Korra questioned. "You're doing exactly what Amon says is wrong with benders and only helping the gangs fuel their hatred for us. Your using your power to oppress and intimidate people."
Tarrlock smirked. "Oh, and you don't?"
Korra was taken aback. "Of course not."
"Isn't that what you came here to do?" Tarrlock questioned. "Intimidate me into stopping the valuable work I do in stopping the Equalists. See, that's what I admire about you Korra. Your willingness to go to extremes to get what you want. It is a quality we both share."
"You and I are nothing alike." Korra declared.
"Look, I'll make you a deal." Tarrlock stated. "You fall in line and do what I say. In return, I'll ease up just a bit on the non-benders."
"Is that why you're taking such drastic actions against them?" Korra questioned. "To get to me?"
"I need you answer." Tarrlock stated.
Korra shook her head. "No, you may be able to manipulate most of the council to get what you want, but it won't work on me."
Tarrlock stood and turned to the water. "You will regret that decision."
"You need to be stopped because you're just as bad as Amon and Yakone." Korra stated firmly.
At the mention of Amon, Tarrlock became angry, but the comparison to Yakone caused a dark look to come into his eyes.
"Yakone." His face became enraged. "I tried to work with your Avatar Korra, but now I see that you need to be removed. You've always just been in my way."
He shot out a crescent of water at Korra destroying his desk in the process. Korra just barley dodged it before sending up earth at Tarrlock slamming him into his waterfall. She fired two streams of fire from her hands, but the councilman bent a ball of water around him blocking it.
When she was done, he sent out multiple chunks of ice that Korra dodged until she was pressed up against the wall. They began to hit her even as she used her fist to punch them apart. The Avatar threw up an earth wall before earth bending the stone behind the waterfall.
It slammed into a surprised Tarrlock knocking him out of the office and over the railing which he gripped with one hand stopping himself from falling. Korra stepped out of the hole she made before destroying that section of the second floor sending Tarrlock crashing to the ground.
Korra jumped down creating a crater in the floor with her earth bending. "What are you going to do now?" She approached Tarrlock. "You're all out of water."
Tarrlock still had that dark look in his eyes as he jumped to his feet and moved his hands, like he was bending, causing Korra to stop in her tracks. "I'm not as out of water as you think, Avatar."
Korra was shocked. "Y-You're blood bending!?"
"Very observant." Tarrlock stated.
"I-it's not a full moon." Korra stated. "How are you doing this?"
"I don't have to explain myself to you." Tarrlock stated.
The councilman then used his control over Korra to smash her into a wall. This made her come in and out of consciousness which resulted in her seeing more of Aang, Toph, Sokka, and the guy who looked like Yakone.
Parking Lot
Korra came to find herself in the back of a truck, and Tarrlock ready to close the doors. "Where are you taking me?"
"Somewhere no one will find you." Tarrlock stated. "If your brother is as stubborn as you, he'll be joining you there soon enough."
Korra got to her knees angry. "Don't you dare touch Sasuke!"
Tarrlock ignored her. "Say good-bye to Republic City Avatar because you'll never see it again."
Korra fire bent from her mouth prompting Tarrlock to hurry and slam the doors closed. He then got into the driver's seat and started to make his way out of the city while Korra screamed and thrashed in the back.
Cabin on a Mountain, Basement
Tarrlock opened the door and blood bent Korra down the steps before setting her inside a metal box and stopping.
Korra tried to rush out, but Tarrlock slammed the door shut. "Tarrlock!" She punched the box as Tarrlock left her. "You can't keep me in here forever!"
Air Temple Island: Tenzin and Lin's Room, Morning…
Tenzin and Lin were asleep when the phone began ringing.
Lin eventually tapped Tenzin's chest. "The phone's next to you Airhead." She was tired. "Pick it up already."
Tenzin sat up. "Yes dear." He grabbed the phone and stood up "Councilman Tenzin here." He was shocked by the news. "What? We'll be there soon." He put the phone down and turned to Lin. "Get Asami and Kanan. I'll get Sasuke to get Bolin, Mako, and Shisui."
"What's wrong?" Lin asked.
"Korra's been kidnapped." Tenzin replied.
That got Lin out of bed. "What are you doing standing around. "She walked to their closet and grabbed her clothes and armor. "We got to get moving."
Boys Dormitory
Sasuke threw Mako, Bolin, and Shisui's doors open. "Get up you three!" Sasuke was worried and he wasn't going to stand around talking this out. "Korra's been kidnapped, so we need to move now!"
Bolin jumped out of bed utterly shocked and devastated. "What!? No, she can't be gone!"
"No talking you three." Sasuke demanded. "Get dressed and meet us at Oogi immediately!"
He walked away from the doors as the three boys quickly got ready.
Outside
Sasuke walked outside only for Asami to run up to him dressed. "Sasuke, Lin just told me. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
"I'll be okay once I have my sister back." He started walking. "Come on, we need to meet up with Kanan, Lin, and Tenzin now."
City Hall
Tenzin, Lin, Kanan, Shisui, Sasuke, Asami, Bolin, and Mako entered the devastated City Hall. Officers were already there as were people with cameras taking pictures of the scene. An electric glove and bola were lain about. The group approached Tarrlock who was being treated.
"What happened?" Tenzin asked. "What was Korra doing at City Hall."
Tarrlock motioned for the water bender to stop and stood before them. "As I told Officer Saikhan, Korra came to my office late last night. She was upset on how I've been handling non-benders. We talked for a bit before the Equalists attacked.
I tried to protect the Avatar, but we were outnumbered. Then I was electrocuted. When I came to, the police had arrived, but Korra was gone. I'm so sorry. Lin, you should mobilize the entire police force. We must find the Avatar."
"The Equalists…" Tenzin stated. "We need to…"
Sasuke stepped forward to confront the councilman not buying his sorry excuse for a story at all. Shisui stood right behind him in full support
"Is there a problem Shinobi?" Tarrlock asked.
"I'll stay there's a problem." Sasuke stated firmly. "If you think for a second that I buy your words, you're mistaken. If the Equalists attacked, and the police didn't get here until you supposedly woke up, then what stopped them from taking you?"
"They were only after the Avatar and wanted me out of the way." Tarrlock replied.
"Really?" Sasuke questioned still disbelieving him. "I was there the night the night Korra confronted him on Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Amon himself said he wouldn't take her bending because benders would see her as a martyr.
No, he's saving her for last." Sasuke crossed his arms. "It's very convenient that they just left you here when the Equalists would love to take you. The man causing so much suffering for the Non-benders.
What of your task force which have been raiding Equalist's training camps? Must be quite easy to get your hands on their equipment. You got the motive, the means, and the opportunity to take my sister. So, where is she?"
Everyone behind him could see the logic in Sasuke's arguments, and it was becoming quite easy for each of them to see how this could have been Tarrlock's doing.
"I'm shocked you'd accuse me of such an evil act Sasuke Uchiha." Tarrlock stated. "The Equalists are to blame, not I."
Tenzin stepped forward. "That doesn't answer the many good points Sasuke has brought up against you Tarrlock. If you weren't behind this, surely you'd have better words to persuade us of such."
"You are all coming to ridiculous leaps in logic." Tarrlock defended.
The assistant, on the second floor, spoke up. "Sasuke Uchiha is right!" Everyone looked at him. "Tarrlock took her. I was here when Avatar Korra arrived, but Councilman Tarrlock ordered me to leave. I was on my way out when I saw him bring the Avatar down to the garage."
"That's a lie!" Tarrlock angrily shouted. "Everyone knows you're nothing but a squeaky voiced liar!"
Lin crossed her arms. "Why did you wait until now to come clean?"
"I was terrified to tell because Tarrlock is a blood bender!" The assistant shouted. "He blood bent Avatar Korra!"
Everyone in the room stared at Tarrlock in shock, but they quickly recovered with many of them getting ready to fight.
Sasuke even drew his real blade. "Where is my sister Tarrlock!?"
Tarrlock stared at the room on edge before Sasuke rushed him only for the councilman to blood bend everyone. Shisui and Sasuke were no strangers to pain, so they were at least able to stay standing as everyone else was brought to their knees before being forced into unconsciousness.
Tarrlock began fighting them harder. "Why won't you two go down!?"
"We're Shinobi Tarrlock, and while this is painful, we've both felt worse." Shisui declared.
"Just tell me where Korra is and maybe I won't plunge my sword into your chest!" Sasuke shouted as his blood began to boil.
"You will never find her Shinobi." Tarrlock declared. "You may have a different way of fighting then a bender, but clearly you two can't use them when you're busy fighting me off. So, just surrender already."
Raava spoke up worriedly. "Sasuke, please calm down. You don't know what your trying to do. Fighting this in your current state isn't good."
Deep blue Chakra began to rise off of Sasuke as his anger at Tarrlock and drive to find Korra kept him fighting through the blood bending. No matter how much pressure Tarrlock exuded, and even though Shisui had been forced to his knees, Sasuke continue to stay standing.
"I will not calm down Raava! He has my sister, and I'm going to get her back even if my bones shatter. I am Sasuke Uchiha, and this guy is nothing compared to a true Shinobi!" Sasuke was able to clench his fist as the deep blue Chakra increased. "Tarrlock, you bastard!"
"Just fall unconscious already!" Tarrlock angrily shouted.
Blood fell from the sides of Sasuke's mouth and from both eyes even though the Mangekyo Sharingan wasn't active and any problems in that area had been fixed. His whole body felt like it was threatening to tear apart on him.
Still, the Uchiha stood his ground, and slowly white flame markings spread all over his body from three, white tomoe which had appeared on his neck. The deep blue Chakra has subsided as Sasuke slowly began to take steps towards Tarrlock.
Tarrlock was utterly shocked that someone could completely ignore his blood bending. "What?" He began to take steps back. "What are you?"
More blood kept coming from Sasuke as Raava tried to get through to him. "Sasuke, please stop! You aren't ready for this!"
Sasuke ignored her as he addressed Tarrlock. "I am Sasuke Uchiha. Brother of Korra, Sage of this world, and defender against Shinobi who wish harm. Most of all, I am a Shinobi!"
He grabbed Tarrlock's arm and lifted him into the air. "This strength!"
Sasuke smashed the Councilman into the ground hard before picking him up and smashing a fist into his face. Tarrlock was knocked straight into a pillar which cracked on impact. The councilman coughed up blood.
Sasuke moved far faster than before grabbing Tarrlock by the throat. "Now you listen to me Tarrlock, you're going to tell me where Korra is or I will kill you."
Tarrlock was utterly terrified, so he nodded. "It's a mountain near Republic City!"
Sasuke wiped some blood from his mouth. "You're coming with me, so I know exactly where she is." He slammed his hand on the ground. "I'm not even certain this will work, but it's worth a shot." He called out, "Summoning Jutsu!" A large, white see through hawk appeared. "You're not Garuda."
The Hawk looked around before focusing on Sasuke. "No, I am not this Garuda, but your power called me here human. Most impressive. For that reason, I will help you with whatever you need. My name is Glace."
"You'll do then." Sasuke stated.
Shisui, who was saved from going unconscious, approached Sasuke. "Whoa, Sasuke are you okay? What's going on with you right now? Is this that Raava you were talking about? Is this the curse mark?"
Sasuke looked at Shisui before managing a smile. "Don't worry Shisui, I'm still me with my rage being directed at Tarrlock." The Uchiha coughed up blood himself, but he had a mission to attend to. "Just see to everyone else because I'm going to get my sister."
Sasuke jumped onto the hawk spirit, with Tarrlock in tow, and Shisui sighed before nodding. "Alright, just come back in one piece. I don't think Korra wants you dying to save her."
"I've been through worse than this pain." Sasuke then looked at Glace. "Fly straight to the ceiling. I'll break it so Tarrlock and I can get through. Then, we're looking for the closest mountain range."
"You got it human." Glace stated.
Glace flew up and Sasuke threw an exploding kunai setting it off once it reached the glass. A huge hole was created while Shisui quickly activated his Susanoo to keep the people on the ground safe.
Skies
Glace flew high into the air before spotting a mountain range in the distance and flying towards it. At this point, blood from within Sasuke began to make wounds to pour forth from, but he remained standing and kept his hold on Tarrlock.
Raava kept trying to reason with him. "Sasuke, your body wasn't ready to handle this. Let go of my power."
"No! Not until Korra is safe." Tarrlock seemed to be getting ideas, so Sasuke punched the councilman in the gut just hard enough to wind him. "Don't think about it Tarrlock. You try anything, and I'll snap your neck."
With that warning, Tarrlock stopped as the hawk spirit flew on.
With Korra, Same Time…
After hours of trying to force her way out and calling for help, Korra fell to the ground exasperated. In the end, she decided to meditate as Tenzin had suggested. She saw Aang meeting with Toph to stop the Yakone of old. He was arrested.
She stopped meditating to marvel at the fact that she finally connected with Aang before getting back to it seeing a courtroom scene which included Yakone, Sokka on the council, Aang, and Toph. She then saw that he was found guilty.
This prompted Yakone to blood bend the entire room into unconsciousness including Aang. The gang leader then tried to get away, but Aang's Avatar State roused him. He gave chase subduing Yakone and taking away the blood bender's bending.
Korra opened her eyes now aware of what Aang had been trying to tell her. "Aang, this whole time you must have been warning me of not only Yakone, but Tarrlock as well."
The Cabin
Glace landed and Sasuke jumped down with Tarrlock. "Thank you spirit. You can return if you wish or just fly above the cabin. I don't care which." Glace flew into the air and Sasuke dragged Tarrlock along as he kicked the door open and moved inside. "Where is she?"
"The bookcase." Tarrlock stated. "Behind the bookcase. Key in my coat's inner right pocket."
Sasuke walked up to the shelf and pushed it clear from the hidden door before kicking that down. He pulled out the keys from Tarrlock's pocket and continued to drag the councilman along as they moved down the stairs.
"Korra!" Sasuke shouted.
Korra stood in her cage surprised to hear him. "Sasuke, is it really you?"
Sasuke reached the bottom of the stairs, coughed up more blood, and threw Tarrlock into the wall of the room. "Stay there if you know what's good for you councilman."
Sasuke walked up to the box and unlocked the door opening it to see Korra. "You're alright, little sister." The Uchiha fell to his knees, but he was not going to let the power go until they were safe. "I'm glad."
Korra covered her mouth in shock at seeing the injured state of her brother. "Sasuke!" She ran out and crouched by his side with tears in her eyes. "What happened? Why are you hurt like this?' She noticed Tarrlock and became enraged. "You did this to him, didn't you?"
Tarrlock stood up holding his sides, but he knew better than to make a move. "I didn't do that to him Avatar. Your brother over there got those weird flame designs on him which seemed to inflict self-harm. Thanks to you two, my life is a disaster."
"So, your little blood bending secret got out." Korra stated. "Well, I also know how you blood bend without a full moon. You're Yakone's son."
"I know what you're thinking, but there's no way the Yakone who runs the Red Monsoons can be my father. My father died a long time ago. Even still, I was his son, but to win Republic City, I had to become someone else.
My father failed because he wanted to rule form the rotten under belly. My plan was perfect. I was to be the city's savior, but you two… You two ruined everything." Sasuke got to his feet slowly before walking over to the councilman. "Stay away from me!"
Sasuke punched his gut once more causing him to keel over in pain.
"Sasuke, you shouldn't be moving with your injuries." Korra stated worriedly.
Sasuke grabbed Tarrlock's collar as he continued to bleed. "I'll stop moving once we're back in Republic City." He dragged Tarrlock back to the stairs. "Come on, we're taking this bastard to answer for all his crimes."
Sasuke began to climb back up the steps forcing a worried and concerned Korra to follow. When he reached the top, the Uchiha immediately stopped upon seeing Amon, Kyoshi Warrior, and a squad of Equalists. There was one other who swung an axe at his head.
Sasuke immediately ducked, dropping Tarrlock in the process, before a large hammer slammed into him sending The Uchiha through the wall of the cabin. Sasuke screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. The white flame marks finally receded before he passed out.
Korra worriedly shouted. "Sasuke!"
Mangetsu held the weapon, Helm Splitter, as he looked out the hole. "I thought you said he'd be more difficult than this Amon."
"I wouldn't underestimate him Mangetsu." Amon stated. "The injuries he sustained were severe, yet he was walking until you attacked him."
Mangetsu looked away from the downed Shinobi. "Please, not even a Seven Swordsman could get up after that. Not with those preexisting injuries." He turned to Korra. "So, this is the Avatar and that must be Councilman Tarrlock. They're who we're here for, right?"
"I'm in no condition to fight and neither is Sasuke." Korra thought before noticing that Tarrlock was trying to get up and failing. "As much as I wouldn't want it, he's not able to fight either. What do we do?"
"The Shinobi to." Amon stated. "knock them out while we collect the Shinobi."
Tarrlock forced himself to his feet and did what bending he could creating a dome of ice that shot up from the ground catching Amon and his men off guard. The only one not captured was Mangetsu who was away from them.
"As much as I now loathe Sasuke Uchiha and Avatar Korra, I still dislike you more Amon." Tarrlock panted as Mangetsu moved to attack him only to be met by a wall of ice. "Just run Avatar. I'll stay behind."
Mangetsu struck his axe into the wall cracking it before slamming the hammer portion into the blunted side of the axe smashing the entire wall down.
Tarrlock grunted and brought in snow from outside turning it into spears. "Just go Avatar!"
The dome was cracked, and they heard the people inside trying to break out. Korra spared one last look at Tarrlock before running outside and scooping up Sasuke's body.
Sasuke screamed in pain as Korra started to run from the building. "Sorry Sasuke, please just bear with it."
The ice dome was smashed down behind them and Amon burst forth from the house chasing after the two of them. Korra made it to a steep section of the mountain and immediately knew what she had to do.
With the little energy she had, there was only so much bending she could do. Korra jumped down and landed on her feet before using her bending to slide down the mountain while clutching Sasuke close to her.
Amon moved to follow only for Glace to come down and beat his wings fast knocking Amon back. The hawk spirit soared back into the air as Amon stood. He moved to the edge and looked down, but all traces of Korra and Sasuke were gone.
He grunted before walking back to the house where he found Mangetsu with his foot on an unconscious Tarrlock's back. Korra was tripped up by a root in the ground, but she turned her body to protect Sasuke taking the brunt of the impact.
She collided with a tree and snow covered both her and Sasuke. "Sasuke… I… I'm trying." Korra was panting as she slowly tried to rise but was finding it difficult to even get to her feet. "I won't let us, die out here."
Fortunately for them, a certain Polar Bear dog had been tracking Korra and ran over to the two of them happy to see both Sasuke and Korra. He licked both their faces, but Sasuke gave no reaction as he was out cold.
"Naga, you came looking for me." The Avatar pet the polar bear dog. "Good girl."
She managed to put Sasuke in the saddle before struggling on herself. She had Sasuke behind her and held him tight to her back with one hand while gripping the saddle with the other. No matter how tired she was, she wasn't going to let go of either as Naga began the trek back to the city.
Republic City: City Hall, Evening…
Shisui had situated everyone more comfortably before worrying about Korra and Sasuke. He had been hoping, the entire time, that they were okay. Finally, his mind was partially taken off that as everyone else began to stir.
"Wait, where's Tarrlock?" Bolin asked.
Asami worriedly asked, "Where's Sasuke?"
Shisui approached the group. "Sasuke bested Tarrlock's blood bending and took him to get Korra back. I couldn't leave you all like this or I'd have gone with them."
"That would be great; however, it's evening now, and they aren't back." Mako stated.
Lin nodded. "I'll need to mobilize the entire force to look for them and Tarrlock."
"In the meantime, I'll pick up Sasuke's trail." Kanan stated.
Tenzin nodded. "We'll come with you."
"I'm saying we certainly should do that; however, Sasuke summoned some strange hawk and had it fly him and Tarrlock out of here. Also, Tarrlock said he took Korra to some mountains near the city."
"That narrows where we need to search." Kanan stated. "Let's go."
So, everyone moved to find the Shinobi and Avatar.
Republic City, Streets
Oogi flew by overhead and Mako saw Naga with Korra and Sasuke on her back. "They're down there."
Oogi landed and Naga stopped as she recognized the sky bison. Everyone jumped off to see Korra's strong grip on the saddle and Sasuke despite her weakened state.
"Korra and Sasuke, thank goodness." Tenzin stated relived.
"Where's Tarrlock?" Lin asked. "How did…"
Korra said, "Please, help Sasuke."
"Give them some space." Bolin stated as he pushed through with Asami.
Asami saw Sasuke and immediately ran to him. "Sasuke, he really is in bad shape." Bolin grabbed Korra and Asami grabbed the unconscious Sasuke. "Korra, I'll make sure he makes a full recovery."
Korra sighed relived. "Thank you."
Asami and Bolin carried the injured back to Oogi.
Bolin looked down at Korra. "I was so worried about you Korra. Are you okay?"
Korra smiled up at him. "I'm fine." She closed her eyes and leaned into the earth bender's chest. "I'm glad you're here."
Both brother and sister were laid gently on the sky bison's saddle next to each other as their respective, interested. partners sat next to them.
