We're back on chapter seven where we discover the origins of the first Avatar.
REMINDER: I DO NOT OWN LEGEND OF KORRA OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.
At Bhanti Island, Korra, Kaori, Dr. Franceschini and the three tribesmen walks toward the Bhanti Village Temple. An old woman inside the temple who turns around from over her shoulder, revealing the three tribesmen entering the temple.
"So, in the future, how and when did my uncle gains that much power to cause a spirit apocalypse?" Korra asked Dr. Franceschini.
"Well, he and his partner are going to free a very powerful dark spirito from its prison. And when they do; the world will fall into buio, that means darkness in Italian. That is why we brought you here. To find Raava." Dr. Franceschini said before he gives Korra a sleeping pill. "This can put you in deep sleep. When the ritual begins, you'll speak to the first Avatar. With my machine, we can watch the first Avatar's origini. Can you do it, Avatar Korra?"
"I'll do it." Korra said before he takes the sleeping pill. She lays on the table. She got in deep sleep and then she starts chanting the name. "Raava. Raava. Raava."
"Will it work, Doc?" Kaori asks.
"It will, my bambina." the Doctor answered.
"The waters will help her reach her Avatar Spirit." the shaman said.
Dissolve to a cave with a large hole in the ground, where light shines up from below. The Sages lower Korra into subterranean spirit waters.
At the cavern below, constructed by hexagonal rock formations. As Korra is lowered down.. The large pool of water is lit with light shining up from below. Underneath the water, Korra touches the surface, the hammock keeping her face above water. In the water, As she opens them, she is in a dreamworld, surrounded by a purple light. She is looking at her own image, engulfed in a blue light.
"Who are you?" Korra asked.
"I am you." Korra's image said.
Korra's image ripples and is replaced by Aang's. "I am always you as you are all the Avatars."
Aang's image ripples and changes into Roku's. "In order to alter the future the Doctor feared, you must regain your connection with your Avatar Spirit."
Roku's image ripples and changes into Kyoshi's. "If you don't, darkness will engulf the world. You will die, and our era will end."
"How do I regain my connection?" Korra asked.
Kyoshi's image ripples and changes into Kuruk's. "Return to the beginning. Find Raava." Korra is pushed away from Kuruk by a strong current of water and bubbles. She frowns in discomfort as her body flips around, but the current quickly stops. Korra turns around and sees Wan, the very first and original Avatar in front of a circle of light. Cut back to a frontal shot of Korra.
"Are you Raava?" she asked.
"No, but I can help you find her. My name is Wan, and I will show you how I became the first Avatar."
Everything fades into a street and Wan is now running with a confident grin and a bag in his hand. It shows in the screen of Dr. Franceschini's machine.
"It worked!" he shouts in joy. "Now, we shall see."
One the screen, three very similar looking men, the Chou Brothers, one short, one medium sized, and one tall, each holding a guan dao glaive of a matching size as they chase after Wan.
Little Chou raises his spear. "Nobody steals from the Chou Brothers!"
"Really? Because I just did." Wan said.
"You're dead, Wan." Big Chou said before Wan jumps on a railing.
Wan turns around to salute the Brothers mockingly before letting himself fall backward, off the railing. "Actually, I feel quite alive."
The Chou Brothers run up to the railing. Wan drops in from above, face first, and grabs hold of a clothesline, which breaks his fall and swings him back up. Wan hides in an alcove as the Chou Brothers come crashing down screaming, tearing all the clotheslines down with them. The three brothers land hard on the ground, a sheet floating down upon them. Wan lands on them to cushion his fall and runs away. Wan runs with a grin plastered on his face, then he runs over a bridge, scaring a flock of birds in the process to take flight. The Chou Brothers run onto the bridge after him.
"Hey, stop!"
The birds drop droppings on the Chous, causing them to slide to a halt. brothers, only their mouths uncovered, stare angrily to their side.
Wan drops down on a roof. He jumps toward a wooden bar, around which he turns and somersaults off on the next roof. He runs it down, jumps on a lower located roof on which he tumbles. He jumps again to another roof, but starts to slow down to a walk. At a downward angle of a balcony, Wan slides down the roof tiles of a last house and lands on the balcony. On ground level, he sits down and rummages through the bag with his left hand, his tongue sticking out in anticipation. He pulls out a roll, but just as he is about to take a bite from it, Big Chou lands, and his two brothers appear from behind him. The Chous catch up with Wan, who is seen in the reflection of Big Chou's blade.
"He-he-hey, fellas! Wan looks at his roll sadly for a moment. You're just in time for lunch!" he said as he throws a piece of food in Big Chou's face leaving a red mark on his nose and jumps over him, but is tripped by Middle Chou, subsequently falling on the ground.
Little Chou crouches down to Wan smiling. "I told you no one steals from us."
Big Chou takes Wan by the collar and easily lifts him in the air with one hand while glaring at him. Wan nervously laughs at him. A screaming Wan flies by, having been thrown off the wall. He disappears behind a tree. Wan comes flying in and lands in the mud, rousing the interest of a nearby standing moo-sow. He sits erect, disgustedly wiping the mud out of his face. Disheartedly, he looks to his right where the animal is sniffing at him.
The entire city slowly panning down. A tree house is visible among the tree branches of the surrounding forest. The city's houses panning down to the forest and eventually the tree house as Wan enters it. From the inside out, revealing a young man named Jaya sitting on the ground on the left, watching Wan climb through the door.
Jaya sighs while Wan walks in, digging into his shirt to take out some food. "Did you steal from the Chous again?"
"Yeah, and I got to nothing show for it except a few dirty rolls and a whole lot of bruises." Wan said sadly before he hands Jaya a roll. Jaya smiles and walks over to a figure who is shadowed. "Hey, Yao, I got some food for you. "
Yao, a branch-like hand reaches out to grab the roll to reveal a disfigured old man who appears partly quasi-treelike. Yao eats the roll, closing his eyes and smiling in delight. "Mmm. Delicious! Thank you, Wan." he said.
Two skunk squirrels, a peacock pigeon, and a woodpecker lizard enter the house as Wan sits down in front of them. The animals from over Wan's shoulder as they all look at him and his roll.
"You guys are hungry, too, huh?" Wan tears small pieces from his roll and feeds it to the animals, who all eat happily.
"Wan, you should eat."
Wan sighs. "They need it more than I do. He crumbles the rest of the roll. Besides, I'm tired of eating scraps.' Wan takes a cup and teapot from a nearby table and pours some tea for himself. If only there was some way to get into the Chous' food cellar. "We'd be eating like, well, like Chous."
"If Chou the Elder catches you sneaking into his palace, you'll end up dead. Or worse, he'll banish you to the Spirit Wilds." Jaya said.
"No, don't get banished. You don't want nothing to do with those spirits. They'll get inside ya, scramble up your mind, turn you into this, a monster!," Yao moans as he buries his face in his hands and turns away, forlorn.
"Don't do anything crazy, Wan. You just gotta accept the world is the way it is. Some people have power. Some people don't. And you don't." said Jaya.
Wan sips his tea and appears to be thinking. He looks away and smirks. "Not yet, anyway."
Meanwhile at the city square. A group of huntsmen are making an announcement for volunteers. Wan came by.
"Are you strong? Are you fearless? Do you have what it takes to battle the spirits? Then join the hunt."
"Count me in."
Wan raising his hand. A shoulder shot of the huntsman from behind Wan as the huntsman gives Wan a scrutinizing look, before laughing.
"We're going to be out in the wilds for a week. You wouldn't last two seconds." the huntsman said.
Wan smugly smirks and crosses arms. I can handle myself. He quickly drops the smug expression. "We all get fire, right?"
"Yeah, but do you know how to use it?"
"Well, not exactly, but I…"
A second hunter walks into the frame and puts a hand on Wan's shoulder. "Ah, let him come. Not like we got any other volunteers lining up."
The huntsman smiles. "All right. Welcome to the hunt."
Outside the city. The hunting party is walking up to the lion turtle. At a cliff, they stop, and the huntsman blows on his horn. The lion turtle emerges upon hearing the call.
"The lion turtle." Wan whispered.
"Great guardian of our city, we are venturing into the Spirit Wilds to bring back food for our people. Please, grant us the power of fire."
The lion turtle raises its claw. "The power is yours to keep until your return."
"You're first, kid."
"May the element of fire protect you against the spirits," the lion turtle said.
Wan tests out his newly-received ability if firebending by punching in front of him. The firey blast he creates sends him tumbling backward.
Off screen, Dr. Franceschini got amused. "Of course, that's how benders existed. 'Four lion turtles of elements'." Dr. Franceschini said. "Why didn't I figure that sooner as a child? But, what about the creation of the Avatar Cycle?"
Back on screen, Wan comes to a stop among the other hunters while the head huntsman steps forward.
"Just make sure you aim at the spirits, not us, okay?"
Sure thing."
"Everyone, stay close. Spirits love to pick off stragglers." the huntsman said.
"Uh, guys? I don't think I can do this." Wan said with a trembling voice.
"Now, quit your whining. We haven't even seen a spirit yet." said the huntsman.
"I think I wanna go home."
The huntsman walks up to Wan. "I knew you were nothing but a sniveling coward. Go give your fire back to the lion turtle, and don't ever show your face around me again." He shoves Wan back and turns around to continue on.
A sad-looking Wan with the hunting party leaving behind him. He looks after them over his shoulder, though as he faces forward again, him and his frown shifts into a smirk. He walks away while slightly raising his right fist in confidence. Back at the tree house as Wan returns. Inside the tree house, Jaya was playing Pai Sho with Yao.
"Wan, you're back."
Yao starts rubbing his stomach. "What goodies did you snatch for us this time?"
Wan starts demonstrating his ability to firebend by extending his hand, causing a small flame to appear in his palm much to Jaya's surprise. Yao yelps in shock and crouches back into a corner, shielding himself. Wan closes his palm, extinguishing the flame.
Jaya turns from surprise to accusing. "What did you do? You can't steal from the lion turtle."
"Really? Because I just did."
Meanwhile, at the city at night. Wan and his friends as they make their way to the Chou estate.
"You know it's forbidden to bring the power of the element into the city." Jaya said. Please, go back to the lion turtle and return the fire.
"Jaya, it's time to stop being so afraid of the Chous and show them we have the power to change things." Wan said.
He takes out his mask from his bag and put it on. He turns to leave. The rest of the group follow his example, though their masks are all the same, save for Jaya's. At the Chou family's palace, the group having gathered before its gates. Wan steps forward.
"Hey, Chous! Open the gate, and let us in."
On the balcony, Chou the Elder is walking toward the railing, his three sons in tow. He stops and looks down.
"What are those filthy peasants doing here?" Chou the Elder asks as the brothers stop as well, a short distance behind their father.
"Don't worry, Father. We'll take care of them." Big Chou said.
The Chou brothers turn around, leaving their father to continue to look down. The brothers exits. As Wan lowers his head from looking up to looking to his front. Over the group's head as the Chou brothers emerge from the palace's gates. The line up before the doors, which close immediately again.
Wan points at them. "Hand over all the food you're hoarding, and we won't give you any trouble." He wipes his hand down, emphasizing his threat.
Big Chou laughs with his brothers. "You're not getting past us." He raises his spear. "We have the weapons." Then he points it toward Wan. "You're powerless." Wan crosses his arms; smugly. "Powerless, huh?"
The Chou brothers all raise their weapon toward the group and slide in a battle stance. As they charge the group, Wan raises both his hands and his left knee. He takes a good step forward and thrusts his hands toward the incoming brothers, firebending at them. The brothers jump out of the way to either side of the blast, sliding over the floor. The blast crashed against the palace's gate. A the gate as the fire consumes it and breaks it open, leaving the group standing right in front of the open door.
Wan gestures to the others. "Follow me!"
The group runs through the broken doors. They reach the courtyard. On ground level as Wan surges forward to breaks down the door to the food cellar with his firebending. As soon as the fire dies down, the other raiders run op to the now wide-open building.
Wan gestures toward the door. "Grab as much food as you can." The villagers all run inside the shed.
Jaya runs up to Wan. "Maybe you're right." Wan turns to Jaya; the first raiders return with big bags swung over their shoulder. "Maybe we do have the power to change things."
Palace guard approached. "Stop right there!"
Wan turns to see over his right shoulder. The Chou brothers approaching with ten armed guards.
"Looks like the Chous found backup." Jaya said.
"Get everyone out of here. I'll hold them off."
As Jaya turns to run with the other raiders, Wan surges forward. Wan leaps forward and scatters the troops with a powerful firebending blast. He throws another blast to keep two soldiers at bay. A soldier comes at him with his spear aimed at Wan's chest. Wan grabs hold of the weapon and uses it to turn and swing his attacker against Big Chou, who was standing behind him. He uses his own momentum to keep on turned and hurl the weapon away. As his back is turned to the camera, Little Chou seizes his moment and jumps onto Wan, clasping on tight. Wan tries to toss his assailant. He firebends in a circle to keep the four people surrounding him at bay. He manages to throw Little Chou, though the guy held on to Wan's mask and took it with him. The smallest brother is rolling over the ground. Little Chou comes to a halt. He sits up on his knees and immediately raises his hands in defeat.
"No, please! Have mercy!" Little Chou begged.
He looks up and find that it is Wan looming over him with a fire ball readied in his right hand. Little Chou got shocked and surprised.
"Wan?"
Wan's resolve wavers and he snuffs out the fire in his hand as well as the fiery circle surrounding them. As soon as the way is cleared again, Wan is instantly tackled to the ground by two guards jumping at him from his left. Little Chou regains his composure and gets to his feet. Wan has being held and pulled to his feet. They are surrounded by the soldiers and the two other Chou brothers.
Little Chou crosses his arms and leans in toward Wan. "Even when you have the power, you're afraid to use it." he said smugly.
Wan who angrily looks down on Little Chou, but slants his eyes to his left in a sad defeat.
Outside the city in front of the lion turtle, as Wan, the Chous, and soldiers stand on the outcropping before it. Wan, is held by his arms by a soldier standing on each side of him, with the Chou family standing in front of the lion turtle.
"Tell me who else was involved in the rebellion, and I might take mercy on you." Chou the Elder demanded.
" I'm not telling you anything."
"Then, you've left me no choice. Wan, you are hereby banished."
The guards start to push Wan toward the lion turtle. "Yeah! And give back the fire you stole." Little Chou said.
"No! Wait. Great lion turtle, I am sorry for stealing the fire from you, and I accept my punishment. But please, I need to be able to protect myself in the wilds." Wan begged for mercy.
"Never again may you return to this city." The lion turtle said that made depressed Wan. "But I will allow you to keep the power of the element."
Wan is being shoved out of the city. He looks back at his city one more time before hanging his head in sadness and walks away to the Spirit Wilds as the sun sets. At the walls, as Yao and Jaya watches him leave.
"Bet he doesn't last till morning." Yao said sadly.
Wan walks down a path in the forest far, between two tree trunks in the foreground. Wan nervously hikes along and flings fire at any spirit he thinks is a threat. He backs up into a tree and hears a shrill voice.
Wan shivers in fear and quickly waves his fire around to see who the voice is. "Hey, watch where you're stepping, human!"
"Who said that?" Wan asked
"Down here!" Wan looks down. On Wan's foot as a small blue frog slides out from under it. "How'd you like it if I started walking all over you?"
Wan who sighs in relief. "You're just a little frog."
The frog spirit grows in size much to Wan's shock. In a deep voice. "Who's little now?" It tries to stomp Wan with his foot but Wan dodges it in time.
Wan runs off screaming as the frog spirit tries to whip him with his tongue. As he looks back as he walks backward to a Venus flytrap. The plant suddenly eats him. It lifts its mouth while Wan tries to get out of there by punching through but to no avail. He finally gets out by firebending inside the flytrap's mouth that burps him out, along with a large cloud of smoke, and Wan quickly runs away. The dark night sky before tilting down to the tree tops. Three green, tadpole-like spirits fly before the ground level. A tiny green spirit with a puffball body, bird-like legs, and a long beak lands on the ground and jumps off. Wan runs and falls down on his back, catching his breath. Wan collapses on the grass out of exhaustion. Much to Wan's surprise, the grass underneath him appears to be alive and swiftly wraps itself around him, dragging him into the ground. He narrowly escapes with firebending, scorching a patch of the grass, frantically climbs out, and runs off while panicking. The sky as night turns into day. There be a sleepless and weary Wan. His appearance haggard, covered in dirt and having dark circles under his eyes from a lack of sleep. He is visibly shaken, looking left and right for any signs of danger. Wan's lower body from the side as he trudges onward. He stops once his stomach growls and makes his way over to a tree that he believes to be carrying fruit. He tries eating it only to discover that it is a nest of hornets.
Wan has surrounded by buzzing hornets; running in zig-zags all over the place. "Get off me! Get off me!"
Wan runs away and right off a cliff and painfully tumbling it down. He is thrown off an outcropping and falls further down. On ground level as he slides to a halt, groaning and looking all disheveled. As he looks up, he sees a peaceful looking oasis with fruit trees. He walks over to it, but as he attempts to cross the bridge, a spirit appears out of nowhere in front of him and shoves him back.
The aye-aye spirit crosses his arms. "You are not welcome in my oasis, human."
"Please, help me. I'm starving and I haven't slept all night." Wan begged. "Not my problem." The aye-aye spirit said.
Wan firebends at the spirit. "Let me pass." The spirit widens his eyes in surprise for a moment before turning angry.
"You dare use fire against me?" The spirit blinks out of sight only to reappear behind Wan with a mocking face and grabs him. "Now, be gone with you!"
He throws Wan to a bush. Wan walks out of the bush with the aye-aye spirit blinking while looking annoyed, followed by an uninterested expression as the spirit walks away. Wan hangs his head in defeat and walks away. Wan walks away depressed. Wan turns with a confused look for a moment which changes to one of surprise. A parade of spirits marching in. Wan hides in a bush in fear. The spirit parade going to the oasis. The spirits are relaxing, given Wan a surprised face. He smiles as an idea forms. He emerges from the bush disguised as a bush spirit, joining in an attempt to enter the oasis. The spirits pass by. Wan approaches the spirit. The aye-aye spirit narrows his eyes at Wan in suspicion.
"And who might you be?" he asked.
"I am Bushy, the Bush Spirit. And I would like the enter your oasis." Wan said overly dramatic.
Aye-aye spirit raised an eyebrow puzzled. "Very well "You may pass." As Wan walks by, the spirit widens his eyes in surprise and sniffs. "Wait a second." He grabs Wan's head. "Something stinks." Then he pulls off Wan's mask. "I knew I smelled a human!"
Wan's face turns blue and sweats nervously before shrugging nervously with a very big, sheepish grin. The aye-aye spirit picks up Wan and throws him in the water.
Wan is sitting in the water, soaked, as his disguise scatters. "Come on, let me in, just for a little while."
"No! Go back to your lion turtle."
"Believe me, I'd love to go back home. But I can't. I was kicked out." Wan said.
"That's too bad." a spirit said. "Poor human." another spirit said.
"Don't pity him. He's just like every other human: ugly, destructive, and lacking any respect for nature." the aye-aye spirit said.
"Who are you calling ugly, 'Ugly'?"
The aye-aye spirit looks surprised for a moment with the other spirits turning and looking at him before frowning in annoyance. "Mmm."
"If you can't go back to your city, then you should go live in another one." the spirit said.
Wan got shocked. "What? There are other lion turtles?"
The aye-aye spirit gets annoyed. "'There are other lion turtles?' Of course, there are, dozens of them! Boy, you humans are stupid, too."
"So which way to the nearest lion turtle city?"
The aye-aye spirit pretends to be thinking. "Hmm. I think it's on the other side of none-of-your-business valley." He laughs at his own joke, looking to the other spirits for approval. Wan frowns in irritation.
"Real funny. You know what? I don't need your help. I'll find it myself."
He turns around and walks away. Wan takes a few steps and suddenly falls into a deeper part of the pond, disappearing from view. One of the kind spirits, a tall green one with four arms, a white, mask like face, and leaves for hair, waves goodbye.
The second friendly spirit waves his hand. "Good luck!"
Dissolves to a far wide shot of Wan, who keeps walking until he comes across a cat deer caught in a net. Wan, intent on cooking the animal, produces a flame in each hand, but decides against this idea as he approaches the animal, who is giving him a sad and pleading stare.
Wan sighs. and walks toward the cat deer as it growls once more. "It's okay. I'm gonna get you out of there."
Wan climbs the tree to cut down the net that is holding the cat deer. However, before he can take action, the four hunters he was supposed to join earlier arrive.
"Finally, we caught something." the huntsman said. "Get it down."
He and the hunters start jogging toward it. Wan steps out from behind the tree trunk and onto the branch. "Back off." he said.
"Wan? What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm saving this animal." Wan said.
"That animal's our dinner. Now, get out of the way." the huntsman demanded.
"No!" Wan said as he jumps out of the tree while firebending at the hunters and a chase through the Spirit Wilds commences, with Wan using the many dangers of the forest to his advantage. "Ahh! He-help! Help!" He is dragged under by living grass. Wan runs past a tree with hornet nests, grabs two, and flings them at the hunters. The fourth hunter is swarmed by insects. Get 'em off! Get 'em off!" He is dragged off into the air. "Ahh!"
Wan runs on, evading the fire blasts the last two remaining hunters throw at him, until he is hit. The force of the blast catapults him in the air, where he smacks against a branch and falls barely conscious on the ground, enabling his pursuers to catch up witch him.
"Well, looks like you're all out of tricks, Wan." said the huntsman.
The aye-aye spirit appears behind the huntsman and possesses the second hunter, who starts partially transforming into the spirit's likeness.
"I. Really. Hate. Humans!"
Huntsman is assaulted by his possessed comrade. "No, no!" He runs away screaming in fear.
The aye-aye spirit leaves the hunter's body. The man groans, but upon noticing his deformed hands, starts feeling up his face. Realizing he now looks partly like an aye-aye, he runs away screaming as well. The aye-aye behind him watches him go with a uninterested look. "I don't know what in the Gates of Hell he's screaming about. He's better looking now."
The aye-aye spirit carries Wan back to the oasis and places him in spirit water, which heals Wan's wounds. "I feel great. What's in this water?"
"It has special healing properties."
The friendly spirit hands Wan a piece of fruit. "Thanks." Wan said as he takes a bite out of the fruit. "So what did you do to that hunter?"
"Spirits are able to take over a human body for a short time. If I stayed in there any longer, I would've killed him, which I did consider." the aye-aye spirit said.
"Well, thanks for saving my neck. But why'd you do it?"
"I saw you save the cat deer from those hunters. I've never seen such an act of selflessness from a human before."
Told you I wasn't like the others." Wan said as he pets Mula and stands up.
"Guess I underestimated you, human." the aye-aye spirit said.
"Are you off to find another lion turtle city?" the second friendly spirit asked.
"I was. But I think I've had enough of humans for a while. I've decided to stay here and learn the ways of the spirits." Wan said.
"What a great idea." the first friendly spirit said. "That'll be fun." the second spirit said as well.
"Oh, now, now, hold on. A human living with spirits? It's never been done." the aye-aye spirit said.
"First time for everything, right?" Wan asked.
"Hmm. I guess we can try it. I've never had a human as a pet before. I think I'll call you 'Stinky.'"
"The name is Wan."
"Stinky is more accurate."
Meanwhile, at the fire lion turtle city's square as the huntsman returns alone. "What happened in the wilds?"
"Where are the others?"
"Gone. Spirits took them." As the huntsman speaks, Jaya and Yao are watching, looking amazed. "They were protecting that kid, Wan, like he was one of their own."
"Did you hear that?" Jaya asked before Yao turns slightly to Jaya, who smiles. "Wan's still alive."
Back at the Spirit World, a white dragon flying in the air in a figure-eight motion. It swoops downward and the camera follows it toward ground level. Wan is firebending and performing the Dancing Dragon technique, as the dragon flies right. Wan's spirit friends are in the background, including the giant frog spirit. They clap and cheer for Wan as he moves out of frame. Wan has continuing the form, with the dragon flying. Wan turns and bends fire, while at the same time the dragon swoops. The dragon's body fills the frame and once it passes, the scene transitions to a shot of an older Wan, his hair now longer and hanging, and with a scruff of hair on his chin. He is in a battle stance in front of the oasis. The hunters standing on the other side of the bridge, whom Wan wards off by redirecting their fire.
"And the way Wan moves fire, it's like nothing I've ever seen." the huntsman said in an amazed tone. "He uses it like it's an extension of his body."
The huntsman frowns and readies to attack. The hunters throw their fire. The fire reaches Wan who redirects it and throws it to the ground near the hunters, making them fall over. They stand up and run away. Wan, standing in front of the oasis watches them run. The spirits show up and gather around him cheering. Wan downs cup of tea given to him by one of the spirits in victory.
Meanwhile, back at the fire lion turtle city, an older Jaya with a short beard and mustache and Yao standing before a crowd of townspeople in the foreground in the forest outside the city.
"Wan has proved that with the power of fire, anyone can survive in the wilds. aid We don't have to live under Chou the Elder's rules anymore, so I say we leave this city and start over. Who's with me?"
The crowd cheers. They all receive firebending from the lion turtle before leaving toward the Spirit Wilds.
Back at the spirit world, leaves Wan at the Spirit Oasis. The cat deer has a traveling pack and a saddle. Wan scratches its neck, and it tilts its head and purrs. Wan mounts Mula. "You ready to go, Mula?"
"You sure you want to leave?" the aye-aye spirit asked.
"Yes. It's time I see the rest of the world and find the other lion turtle cities."
"I'm proud to call you my friend, Stinky."
Wan chuckles lightly. "Thank you for everything." Wan and Mula leaves to the other lion turtle. "Goodbye, everyone."
"We'll miss you." the spirit said.
Wan rides away from the oasis. Several nature through which Wan travels, covering the passage of a day, until he reaches a stream where he encounters a parade of spirits running away in the same direction.
"The all-powerful spirits are battling!"
"They're gonna wipe out the entire valley!"
Wan goes to investigate what is causing the stampede. He reaches a clearing where two large spirits, a black and a white one, are locked in battle, destroying their surroundings as they go. Off screen, Dr. Franceschini got surprised of what he saw.
"It's them. Raava and Vaatu." Dr. Franceschini said.
On screen of his machine, Wan runs up to them and firebends at them, drawing the spirits' attention.
"Stop, or you'll destroy everything!" Wan said. "This doesn't concern you, human!" Raava the Light Spirit said.
"It does when the lives of spirits and animals are in danger."
"If you're a friend to spirits, then use your fire to help me break free." Vaatu the Dark Spirit said. "Don't involve the human. This is between us." said Raava.
"Please, save me. She has tormented me for ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years? Let him go!" Wan shouts confidently
Wan firebends at the spirits, but is tossed aside by Raava. As he emerges out of the bushes again, he notices that the two spirits are only connected with one another by one tentacle. He firebends at that connection, severing it. As soon as they're separated, Vaatu flies away to rest atop a nearby mountain, while Raava screams and shrinks slightly.
"Thank you, human. You have performed a great service for the spirits." Vaatu said before he flies away.
"Do you realize what you've done?" Raava asked furiously.
"Yeah, I helped a spirit who was being bullied by you." Wan said.
"You are gravely mistaken. I was keeping him under control." she said bluntly.
"And what gives you the right?" Wan asked angry.
"You don't even know who I am, do you?"
"Should I?"
"Yes. My name is Raava. That spirit you freed is Vaatu. He is the force of darkness and chaos. I am the force of light and peace. Since the beginning of time, we have battled over the fate of this world. And for the past ten thousand years, I have kept darkness under control and the world in balance, until you came along."
"So, by freeing Vaatu, I let chaos into the world?"
"Precisely. The human and spirit realms are headed toward annihilation, and it's all your fault." Raava said sharply.
The visions changing to one of Korra, who still lies in the water.
"Raava. I found you."
Dr. Franceschini and Kaori looks at Korra. "She's found her." said the Italian scientist.
Chapter 8 will be coming soon.
