Welcome back to the next chapter.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE IN REVIEW!!! I'm serious you don't seem to understand how important reviews are to writers or authors (whichever you prefer) like me.

REVIEW!!!

SuperSaiyajin4Vegeta: I already explained it to you, so no need to write it here.

I don't own anything aside from my OC's and some other stuff I might add.


Let's roll.

In a Red Lotus hideout the four strongest members were planning out their next move.

"I did not expect the Avatar to be this strong." Zaheer said clutching his chest in pain, the Avatar sent him flying through a building while breaking several ribs.

"Forget the Avatar, have you seen what her boyfriend did. That Lightningbending and Kaze no whatever. What even was that." Ghazan exclaimed.

"A Raiju child." P'Li added. "The Children of the Raiju, the only true Lightningbenders."

"Great. As if it isn't hard enough already." Ming-Hua snarled.

A slow clapping was heard from the hallway, emerging from it was a young looking man, Water Tribe clearly, long dark-brown hair. Others knew him as Minuano.

"Cut yourself shaving? I expected something more from the four of you." Minuano said, instinctively dodging a combination of the four elements.

He jumped forward with insane speed, his foot planting Zaheer's head into the ground. As he landed he bended backwards dodging a water blast. He spun around catching Ghazan's fist and throwing him into a nearby wall. Faster than the human eye can see he drew his blade and held it to Ming-Hua's throat while holding P'Li underneath his foot.

"I could end your lives here and now." Minuano stated, a smirk gracing his lips.

"But that's not what I'm here." He says, sheathing his Muramasa while releasing P'Li from his grip.

"I'd like to offer my services." Minuano stated shocking everyone in the room.

"Why do you wish to help us?" Zaheer asked, consciously still ready for an attack.

"The boy you mentioned. The Shinigami. I want to fight him, but only him. I don't care about the others." Minuano said. "And it seems sticking with you, I'll have a better chance at meeting him."

"What? You got some personal business with him?" Ghazan asked.

"It's none of your business."

"You are welcome to join us." Zaheer said as Minuano nodded and walked away.

As Minuano left Ming-Hua turned to Zaheer. "Are you kidding me? How can you trust that guy."

"I said nothing about trust." Zaheer began. "Think about it, with him taking care of the other one, the Avatar will have to focus on us all by herself."

"Yeah. We can deal easily with the other buffoons in their group." Ghazan said.

"Let's say the kid beats this guy. What would stop him from killing all of us?" P'Li asked.

"No worries. I have a plan for the Avatar's boyfriend." Zaheer said smirking.


Driving across the mountain-side in a jeep were Team Avatar. Byakko was flying around with Naga on his back both tracking Aiwei's scent.

"I never knew you could drive?" Korra asked her boyfriend who was driving the car with her sitting on the passenger seat next to him, and Mako, Bolin and Asami on the seats behind them.

"After the Equalist Revolution I asked Asami if she could teach me." Kanan explained.

"And he did a lot better than you." Asami told Korra.

Kanan chuckled. "She's good in other professions."

"Pleasuring you?" Asami teased, smirking.

Both lovers gained a red hue to their faces.

A couple of minutes later the team reached a small desert town. They entered a nearby bar for clues and for refreshments.

Kanan spotted his likeness on a poster on a wall.

"Wanted posters." Kanan pointed out.

The others turn to see that there were wanted posters on the wall of all of them.

"Wanted by the Earth Queen for crimes against the kingdom." Mako read. "This is because we took her airbenders, isn't it?"

"They weren't hers to keep!" Korra said. "I swear if I ever see her pinchy little Queen face again, I'm gonna-"

"Um, guys?" Asami said, staring at the rest of the bar's occupants as they stood, reaching for their weapons.

Kanan stepped forward, the bar's occupants ready to attack.

Korra and the rest sighed as they all though in unison. "Are they trying to get themselves killed."

As Kanan kept walking towards the bar counter the occupants were dropping unconscious, one after the other. Kanan left some of them alone.

"I suggest you lowlifes leave us in peace." Kanan stated calmly.

He approached the barkeeper and described Aiwei to him. The barkeeper said that such a man had stopped by and left shortly after.

They followed the road for nearly another hour. Byakko keeping a watch for any danger with Naga still sniffing around. Naga stopped, sniffing at a boulder.

"Naga found something!" Korra called out, the others climbing out of the jeep.

Korra moved the stone out of the way, exposing a vehicle, and Naga nudged her with her nose. "Oh, uh, sorry. I forgot to bring treats, but...good girl."

She shook the loose skin of Naga's head and Naga whined miserably about not getting a treat, so Kanan pulled a chunk of seal jerky out of his travel food and tossed it into the air, Naga catching it and waging her tail, tongue hanging out.

"Good girl, Naga." Kanan smiled, rubbing her belly.

Naga licked him and he smiled, turning to the others.

"This must be Aiwei's jeep." Asami said.

He can't have gone far." Mako said, looking over the cliff where they could see a small rundown town called the Misty Palms Oasis in the distance. "Bolin, and I will investigate the Misty Palms Oasis."

"Oh, I love it when you act like a cop!" Bolin grinned.

"I'll come too." Korra said.

"No." Mako held his hand out. "You and Asami stay here with Kanan in case he comes back and not alone."

They nodded and the two of them left. Kanan jumped up to sit on the nose of Aiwei's jeep. After a moment, Korra sat next to him, leaning on his shoulder.

"You alright?" Kanan asked.

"I'm just frustrated." Korra sighed. "What does Zaheer want with me? What's his plan?"

"I don't know. But it doesn't matter, because he will never get you." Kanan said gripping Korra's hand.

Korra smiled, kissing him before setting her head back down. Asami began to search the car, and after a few minutes, handed Korra a piece of paper.

"Xai Bau's Grove, sundown." Korra read. "This must be where and when Aiwei is going to meet Zaheer!"

"You've traveled the world Kanan. Ever heard of that place before?" Asami asked.

Kanan shook his head. "Can't say I have." Kanan turned to Byakko.

"Hey Byakko ever heard of a place called Xai Bau's Grove?"

The Liger thought for a moment before shaking his head. "No sadly not."

"It's okay."

Asami opened a map, Kanan and Korra moving out of the way as she spread it out over the nose of the jeep, looking it over. Kanan concentrated for a moment when a blue spectral serpentine dragon surrounded him.

Korra and Asami looked in awe at the spirit it seemed.

"This is my spirit guardian." Kanan explained. "Every living being is born with one."

"Do you happen to know where Xai Bau's Grove is?" Kanan asked his spirit dragon.

The dragon looked at the map before pointing it's tail at the South Pole.

"No, there's no place called Xai Bau's Grove in the South Pole." Korra said with Kanan nodding.

The dragon tapped it's tail at the same place again.

"It's at the South Pole."

"It's in the Spirit World!" Korra and Kanan exclaimed in unison.

"Thanks pal." Kanan said stroking the back of the dragon.

"So, his body's going to be here somewhere, undefended." Korra thoughtfully said.

"We found Aiwei hiding in an Inn." Mako said, walking over.

"That's great." Korra said.

"We found something too." Asami said, holding out the piece of paper with instructions on it. "It looks like Aiwei is going to meet Zaheer at some place called Xai Bau's Grove. And thanks to this big guy..." She gestured at the spirit dragon that was circling Kanan. "... we know that's in the Spirit World."

"Let's go kick Aiwei's door down and finally get some answers." Korra said cracking her knuckles.

"No." Mako shook his head. "Once Aiwei knows we're onto him, we lose our advantage. I say we wait until he goes to the Spirit World, and then go in. Once he wakes up and doesn't warn Zaheer about us, we can force him to tell us where to find Zaheer."

"As much as I'm itching for a fight, I can't argue with your idea." Kanan stated.

Korra nodded in response.

The spirit dragon dissappeared as everyone headed into the small town and to the Inn, where they would rent a room for the night.

"Good afternoon," Mako greeted the woman working the counter. "We'd like a room on the ground floor, across from 1-0-2 please."

"Forget it." The woman said. "The last time a bunch of teenagers came in here they trashed the whole room."

"We found you!" A deep voice shouted suddenly, everyone turning to the door.

Team Avatar instinctively took their fighting stances.

"Hey, no bending in here!" The woman behind the counter yelled. "Take it outside!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!" The guy said, walking forward, hands raised placatingly. "We're not here to fight you! We're here to meet Nuktuk!"

Kanan groaned loudly, dispersing Masamune, as the woman opened her "quiver" and pulled out a rolled up poster advertising Bolin's mover. She unrolled it, walking forward and holding it and a pen out.

"We're your biggest fans. Could you make it out to Lily and Macao?"

"Uh, I'd be happy to." Bolin said, taking the pen and poster, trying and failing to force a smile as he signed. "Always love meeting my fans."

As he signed, the woman stepped up practically against his side, biting her bottom lip and stroking the two strands of hair framing her face, glancing between him and the poster several times. Just as he finished, she pulled out a doll vaguely resembling Bolin dressed as Nuktuk.

"I made this Nuktuk doll for you." She whispered creepily, holding it out and squeezing it, the doll making a squeaking sound.

"Aw, it's...cute." Bolin said, smiling.

"Why didn't you tell me your friend was a mover star?" The woman asked. "I'd be happy to rent you any room in the Inn!"

After getting a key for the room next to Aiwei's, the fans finally left. Kanan snatched the Nuktuk doll from Bolin and threw it to Naga, who happily caught it with her jaws.

"My Nuktuk doll!" Bolin said, sobbing dramatically. "Why!?"

"Naga looked bored and I hate your stupid mover." Kanan said walking towards their room. "Let's go."


They all headed to their room, squeezing Naga in first, Naga instantly laying down on the bed and rolling onto her back, taking up half the room alone. The rest of them squeezed in anywhere they could and Kanan gave Mako a knowing look, Mako grimacing. Bolin was sitting against Naga's side, getting smacked in the face every couple seconds as Naga happily chewed the doll, tail wagging along in time with the squeaks. Asami was sitting in front of Naga's head by the door, Pabu was curled up on top of the dresser beside her, Mako was standing at the window, careful to stay out of sight as he watched Aiwei's door, Korra was seated on a box in front of the window to watch as well. Kanan was sitting in front of the bed, scratching Naga's belly a couple of times.

"I thought stakeouts were supposed to be exciting. This isn't. At all!" Bolin said as he looks in the highest bedside table drawer. "Ooh, I wonder if there's any snacks in here."

"Hey, look! A Pai Sho board!" Bolin said, holding it up. "Mako, you want to play?"

"Kind of busy here, bro." Mako said.

"I'll play." Asami took his offer for a game.

"No offense but I learned street Pai Sho from Shady Shin, and I'm pretty good. So it wouldn't really be a fair game." Bolin smirked.

"So? I learned to play from my dad, the diabolical genius." Asami said before turning serious. "I'll destroy you."

"Well, looks we've got ourselves a Pai-Shodown." Bolin joked, nobody laughing at his pun as they sat up their boards. They exchange a couple moves, but Asami stops and thinks on one of her turns. "Don't mean to rush you, but let's speed things up a bit."

"Why?" She asked, genuinely surprised, "This game is all about slow, methodical strategy."

"No, it's not." Bolin said. "This is a fast-paced, edge of your seat, game of chance! Don't think. Just go."

"I don't know what Shady Shin taught you, but it wasn't the real Pai Sho."

"Oh really? I think Mr. Rulebook might disagree with you." Bolin told her as he picks up the rule book and began to read it out loud. "The origins of Pai Sho date back over ten thousand years. It is a game of both strategy and chance. Wait, how can it be both?"

"It depends on your opponent's decisions." Kanan added. "There's a chance they do something that ruins your strategy."

"Let me see that." Asami said, taking the book and starts reading from it. "There have been countless variations of Pai Sho through the centuries and each culture has its own rules and variations of the game."

"That's no help at all." Bolin said, turning Korra. "As the Avatar, you need to standardize these Pai Sho rules."

"Okay, I'll put that on my to-do list." Korra said sarcastically. "Right after bringing back the Air Nation and taking down the group that tried to kidnap me."

"That's cool." Bolin said. "Whenever you get to it."

"Assuming we do find Zaheer, what then?" Mako asked.

"Then I make him talk." Korra told him.

"It's not like he has been locked away for thirteen years and never broke." Mako pointed out. "Don't think five teens are going to make him talk."

"Electrocution." Kanan added. "Even Zaheer can only take so much pain, right? So I'll just keep shocking him until he cracks. Or dies. Basically a Win-win situation."

"You're not a torturer." Korra said.

"Spy on them." Mako cut in. "If Aiwei and Zaheer think they are alone, they talk more freely. Then we'll find out who they are and what they want."

"That's just like Pai Sho!" Bolin said, having the rule book in his hand. "In order to defeat your opponent, you first have to know your opponent."

"Then I guess I know you pretty well." Asami said, making a winning move.

"Best two out of three." Bolin said.

"No. Now it's my turn." Kanan said taking his seat.

"And just so you know, I've played Pai Sho with my uncle since I was a child. Air Nomads are really, really patient." Kanan added as Asami moved the board.

Kanan and Asami's game lasted for almost two full hours before Asami finally beat him one move before he beat her.


The sun had started to go down, but Aiwei hadn't left him room yet. Korra growing impatient by the second. She looked over to Kanan to see his eye twitching out of annoyance foe waiting so long.

She stormed out of the room with Kanan and went over to Aiwei's room. The others just followed.

Catching up with her just as Korra and Kanan busted down Aiwei's door with two powerful kicks.

"It's over, Aiwei! Where's..." She shouted, but to their surprise, they found Aiwei meditating on his bed.

"Is he sleeping?" Bolin asked. "Because that's a weird way to nap."

"He's meditating." Kanan said as he moved Aiwei onto a chair and restrained him.

I'm going in after him." Korra said, sitting down beside Aiwei.

"I'm going with you." Kanan said sitting next to her. "We can't be sure, if this isn't a trap.

"We'll watch him in case he wakes up." Mako said. "Be careful!"

Kanan and Korra nodded, before meditating.


Korra opens her eyes, and sees that they successfully passed into the Spirit World. Kanan though looked slightly different, his claws were out and there were two purple jagged lines, one underneath both eyes, four of his teeth were sharp fangs, two upper front row teeth and two lower front row.

"What's with that?" Korra asked.

"Not really sure." Kanan said looking over himself. He tried retracting his nails but they stayed as they are.

They look ahead and see Aiwei standing on a nearby hill in front of another tree. Zaheer materializes across from him.

"What happened back in Zaofu?" Zaheer demanded to know. "You told me we wouldn't have any problems getting the Avatar? Because of you, we've all been compromised."

"No, any evidence was destroyed when my library burned."

"Good." Zaheer said. "Your physical body is in the Misty Palms Inn. Like how we had told you if the plan went south?"

"Yes, like I agreed." Aiwei said. "But there is no need to worry. I was not followed."

"You left a loose end." Zaheer said angrily, grabbing a hold of Aiwei and teleport himself and Aiwei, before he teleport back to the tree, this time alone. "It seems Aiwei was mistaken. He was followed."

"That's right." Korra said. "We knew he'd lead us straight to you. Now, what did you do with him?"

"He'll be spending eternity in the Fog of Lost Souls, which just leaves the two of us plus a surprise third one." Zaheer said, sitting down. "None of us has our bending, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll answer whatever questions you have. You deserve that much. What would you like to know?"

"Don't be so sure." Kanan said and unstable looking amount of lightning forming around his hand.

"Chidori!" Kanan lunged at Zaheer who barely dodged the dangerous attack. As Kanan prepared for a fight, spirits encircled them.

"Stop this." Zaheer told Kanan. "I understand your wish to kill me, but the spirits here don't like the commotion."

Kanan reluctantly dispersed the Chidori.

"First off, who are you people." Korra demanded to know. "And why do you keep trying to take me?"

"We are part of a secret society, dedicated to restoring freedom to the world." Zaheer said. "We are the Red Lotus."

"The Red Lotus?" Kanan asked. "Any relation to the White Lotus?"

"We are what the White Lotus was meant to be." Zaheer continued to explain. "But after the Hundred Year War, the White Lotus lost its true purpose. It's members came out of hiding and openly served the Avatar. They became nothing but glorified bodyguards who served corrupt nations. So a great man named Xai Bau broke from the White Lotus and began his own society."

"And how does that explain why you tried to take me when I was a kid." Korra pointed out.

"That was Unalaq's idea. Yes your uncle was part of the Red Lotus. I met your uncle when I was a teenager, after we had joined the Red Lotus. We learned about Raava and Vaatu, and how Avatar Wan foolishly severed them, disrupting the balance of the world forever." Zaheer explained.


In the physical world, Team Avatar is watching over Korra and Kanan. Mako glans out of the window, his eyes widening in fear when he saw who was approaching.

"I don't know how." he said, turning to the others, "But Water Arm Lady, Lava Guy and some samurai found us."

"What!?" Asami said, standing up. "We need to get Korra and Kanan out of here."

Bolin nods, carrying Kanan and placing him on Naga, as Mako did the same with Korra moments before the wall and door were sliced apart.

"Mind if I cut in." The swordsman said with a smirk.

Minuano looked around and spotted the Shinigami wasn't here.

"Where's the Shinigami?" He calmly asked.

"You're not getting him or Korra." Mako exclaimed.

"Yeah, you have to get through us first." Bolin added, as the two brothers took their stances.

Minuano pouted and sat down crossing his arms and legs.

"No fun. I'll only fight against the Shinigami." Minuano said, looking like a child who was not allowed to open his present.

The two brothers look confused, as Ghazan and Ming-Hua sigh.


At Xai Bau's Grove in the spirit world, where the three where still having a conversation.

"So all along, you and my uncle planned to use me to open the portals and release Vaatu?" Korra asked. "That's why you tried to take me when I was a kid?"

"Yes, and with members of the Red Lotus as your elemental masters, we could've taught you so much." Zaheer said. "All I wanted was to show the Avatar a better path for the world..."

"I want what you want: to restore balance to this world." Zaheer said.

"I don't think our ideas of balance are the same." Korra said.

"Are you sure about that?" Zaheer asked. "You kept the spirit portals open. But why stop there? Bringing the spirits back should only be the beginning. And what about you Hitokiri, you fight for what you believe and don't let governments or nations stop you, just like your predecessors."

"The idea of having nations and governments is as foolish as keeping the human and spirit realms separate. You've had to deal with a moronic president and a tyrannical queen." Zaheer explained, "Don't you think the world would be better off if leaders like them were eliminated?"

"Killing is not the right answer." Korra said. "You can't murder people and call yourselves the good guys."

"Why not?" Zaheer said. "Your governments do it all the time. Just like your boyfriend."

Korra turned to Kanan and realized what she had just said, the hurt expression on his face saying everything.

"And didn't you yourself Kanan say, "The monarchies are finished. They were finished a while ago, but they're still making the corpses dance." Zaheer repeated Kanan's words. "Think about it, they put the small thief in prison, while the big thief lives in a palace." Your exact words."

"True freedom can only be achieved when oppressive governments are torn down." Zaheer said. "The natural order is disorder. Do you know who once said, "New growth cannot exist without the destruction of the old"?"

"Guru Laghima." Kanan replied, much to Zaheer's satisfaction.

"That's right. Wise Guru Laghima." He said. "An airbender."


Outside of the hotel, Ghazan overwhelms Mako with his continued attacks of lavabending, Bolin attempted to give his brother breathing space but his earth was deflected by Ming-Hua's waterbending.

Mako runs near a wall and jumps to avoid a blast of lava that melted the wall on impact. He was thrown upwards, but Ming-Hua used her waterbending to launch herself towards him, gripping his ankle and bringing him down into the ground.

Gripping a hand full of black hair, she slammed Mako's head down hard against the ground, putting him out of commission.

Turning around, Ghazan used his earthbending to throw Bolin backwards and into the pool. As he swims towards the surface, Ming-Hua traps him in a sphere of water and brings him up to the surface.

She relinquished her control, allowing Bolin to fall to the ground, gasping for air. With one last blow to the head, the young earthbender too fell unconscious.


"You know, being locked away for so many years, I was beginning to lose hope." Zaheer said, back at Xai Bau's Grove, before standing up. "But when I awoke with airbending, I knew I would be the one to destroy the old world and plant seeds for a new world to flourish."

"Zaheer, please." Korra pleaded with him. "As an airbender, you could help make a positive difference in the world, instead of destroying it."

"You're a very smart young woman, Korra." Zaheer said. "But you must realize that once change begins, it cannot be stopped, not even by the Avatar."

"Enough with your philosophical bullshit!" Kanan yelled. "I don't care what you want with Korra, but if you even touch her, I'll slaughter your entire organization if I have to." Kanan finished in an eerily calm tone.

"You'll have that answer soon enough." Zaheer said. "The Red Lotus should have you by now. See you in the physical world." His spiritual body starts to leave Xai Bau's Grove.

They both realize what he meant and leave the Spirit World.


Kanan woke up back in the physical world, he noticed he couldn't move. He noticed he was tied up completely with thick chains around his arms, not allowing almost any movement.

Opposite from him was Asami, tied to the wall with cuffs.

"Good morning." Asami greeted.

He looked around to find Korra in the same cell, tied up by a strait jacket, chains and several other restraints.

"Asami, are you okay?" Kanan asked, and she nodded. "What happened?"

"Well Zaheer didn't capture us." Asami explained. "The Earth Queen's forces did."

"Where are we?" Korra asked.

"I'm not sure. They are taking us back to Ba Sing Se."


On the observation deck of the Red Lotus airship, Minuano was meditating it seemed, the other members of the Red Lotus sitting in the nearby lounge area.

"The Earth Queen's army snatched up the Avatar before we could." Ghazan explained to Zaheer and P'Li.

"But we figured we could find a use for these two in the prison deck." Ming-Hua said, referring to the captured Mako and Bolin.

Zaheer nodded. "They can be used as bargaining chips later down the line."


On the Earth Kingdom Airship, the trio of Korra, Kanan and Asami where still locked in their prison.

Kanan used his sharp claws and cut through the chains binding him. With a couple of swings the restraints of the others were cut.

"Wow. Those things sure come in handy, huh." Asami remarked about Kanan's claws. "You don't even need to cut your nails."

"It was hard to get used to at first." Kanan said retracting the nails.

Korra walked over to the metal door, taking a stance and metalbending it of its hinges.


At the destroyed Earth Queen's Palace, courtesy of Kanan, the Earth Queen asked. "When are the Avatar and the Hitokiri scheduled to arrive?"

"The air ship already left Fort Bosco and should be arriving in a few hours." Gun replied.

The Earth Queen was pleased. "Excellent, bring them to me as soon as it lands."

Gun nodded. "Yes your majesty, but first there are some people here who captured all of the Avatar's friends. They also say that they have information of the whereabouts of your missing airbenders."

"Send them in." The Earth Queen stated.

The Red Lotus entered and threw Mako and Bolin before the Earth Queen.

The Earth Queen raised and eye brow. "This had better not be a ploy to raise the bounty just like the information you say you have on my airbenders."

"We do not want a bounty for any of them. We just prefer to do a thorough job. These two are simply a thank you gift for taking the time to talk with us." Zaheer assured.

The Earth Queen was happy. "How very magnanimous. So, where are my airbenders."

"Your majesty, that is what we wish to discuss. We can tell you exactly where your airbenders are once you hand the Avatar and the Hitokiri over to us." Zaheer replied.

"Who told you I have the Avatar or her boyfriend?" She asked.

Zaheer smiled. "How I know is of little consequence. What is important is that if I found out, then others will to. It would end up putting you a difficult position."

"Is that so?" The Earth Queen questioned.

"The Avatar's imprisonment would make the other nations turn against you. Cause quite the international incident. If you let me take her today, then no one would be able to say that you ever had her in the first place. You would then get your airbenders back without the other nations interference. We both win." Zaheer offered.

"What do you plan on doing with the Avatar and the Hitokiri if I saw fit to grant such a request?" She asked.

"All I can say is that I have business with them, but they will no longer trouble you. I can assure you of that." Zaheer stated.

The Earth Queen thought it over. "I find these terms agreeable. Gun, escort these people to the chambers until the Avatar's arrival." Gun led the Red Lotus away. "Send these two to the dungeon."

The Dai Li opened the ground, and everyone fell in.

As much as the Earth Queen wanted the Hitokiri to suffer for what he did to her castle, she would get the airbenders instead of him.


Kanan kicked off the roof of the crashed airship, crawling out of it first before helping Asami and Korra out of it.

"I think you might have been a little over-aggressive with the airbending." Asami said looking around the wreckage, she picks up the radio phone which has broken into two. "Also, you broke the radio."

"Sorry, but it's not my fault this airship's a hunk of junk." Korra protested.

"Well it was a Cabbage Corp ship." Asami said. "Great morale, but shit craftsmanship."

Just then some of the crew climbed out.

"Is everyone all right?" Korra asked.

"Like you care." One of the crew members said.

"I'm sorry. But I couldn't let you take me to the Earth Queen as a captive. There are dangerous forces at work that you don't know anything about." Korra said.

"More dangerous than being stranded in the desert?" Another one of the crew members said.

"Yes." Kanan said.

"Don't worry." The captain said, emerging from the wreckage. "I've radioed Ba Sing Se before we went down. We just need to sit tight. Somebody will be here to rescue us."

"I'm not waiting around for that." Korra said. "We need to get out of here now."

"I called Byakko. He should be here in a couple of minutes." Kanan responded.

"You're not going anywhere." The captain told them. "You're prisoners and it's our duty to transport you to the Earth Queen."

"You do realize she's the Avatar and he's the Shinigami, a Hitokiri as well." Asami said taking a seat on the sand. "You don't wanna fight them."

"I'm kinda thirsty." Kanan said.

"I doubt you're gonna find anything here." Korra remarked.

"You underestimate my skills." Kanan said before focusing and then clasping his hands as a gigantic amount of water shot from the ground, creating a small oasis.


That's it for this one.

I also gotta say Zaheer's views are simply hypocritical. One of the many reasons why this show was a fucking disaster.

See ya.
