We're back on chapter 11.
REMINDER: I DO NOT OWN LEGEND OF KORRA OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.
Oogi flies toward the Eastern Air Temple carrying Korra, Tenzin, Bumi, Kya, Franceschini, Kaori and Jinora's spiritless body. Ikki is laughing and riding on an air scooter near Pema and Meelo as Oogi comes in for a landing.
"Dad's back." Meelo said.
Pema approaches the flying bison, looking confused. "Where's Jinora?" Tenzin lifts up Jinora's inanimate body, upset. "No!"
Pema drops the flowers she was holding. Shot of the flowers hitting the ground. Pema runs over to Tenzin.
Tenzin hands Jinora's body to Pema. "Her spirit is trapped in the Spirit World, but she's going to be all right."
"How could this happen? Pama asked.
"It was all my fault. I should have never let Jinora enter the Spirit World without me. I couldn't protect her."
"I'm so sorry, Pema. I tried to save her, but Unalaq tricked me." Korra said sadly.
"Don't worry, honey, I'm not going to stop until our little girl is back safe with us."
Meanwhile, at Republic City, at prison where Mako is being kept with police airships flying overhead, Mako is inside his cell sitting on his bed. The cell door opens suddenly by Beifong. "You've got a visitor."
Bolin enters the cell as Beifong steps away from the door. "Mako!" he said while running in the cell and hugs his brother.
"No bending!" Beifong warned.
"Hey. What are you doing here, Bolin?"
"I believe you, Mako! Sheng told me Varrick is behind this the whole time. He's trying to make the Republic to go to war with the Northerners. And since you're on him, he framed you!"
"I knew it." Mako said. "So you, Sheng and Asami are okay then?"
"For now, I think." Bolin said. "But I don't think Korra isn't." Mako's expression darkened. "I just thought that you'd still care about her." Bolin continued. "I mean, it's only been a week since you broke her heart and sent her away."
"I didn't send her away. She went on her own." Mako said stubbornly.
"Whatever you say." Bolin said. "I know you hooked back up with Asami almost, but I didn't think your girlfriend of half-a-year was so…""
"GET to your point, Bolin. I do care for Korra. She's just hot-heated and she won't listen to reason. All her paranoid beliefs led to the Water Tribes' civil War."
"No, she's the goddamn Avatar!" Bolin shouts "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE INSTEAD OF RATTED HER OUT…"
"Hey, hey, calm down. You're gonna cause a prison riot here." Lin said before she entered Mako's cell. But he's right, Mako. I know you've sworn an oath, but you can't just betray her. her uncle was using her to try to take over the Southern Water Tribe. We believed that Korra is the only one who can stop him."
Mako turned his back to them and faced the rear stones of his cell. "Then let her. she's the goddamn Avatar. She doesn't want a convict ex-boyfriend to help her." Mako said bitterly.
"Korra's missing! I heard Eska, who is my ex-girlfriend and her brother tried to capture her, but I think a giant dark water spirit might have eaten her!" Bolin cried.
"What? She-she's not dead, is she? She can't be dead!" Mako said, whirring around to face Bolin with his eyes wide and his face pale.
"I hope not. But, I know she's alive." Bolin said.
"You really think Varrick is behind these attacks?" Beifong asked.
Bolin nodded.
"Well then, we'll need evidence against him." Lin said.
"Varrick must be stopped! When will he kidnap the President, Bolin?" Mako asked his brother.
"On the big finale for 'Nuktuk: Hero of the South' at the Pro-bending Arena, tonight. But Sheng's got an idea to stop it. And you'll come with me, big brother."
Bolin, Mako and Beifong exits the cell.
At Wolf Cove. Rebels view the capital city from atop a nearby mountain. A ship from the Fire Nation came.
"Fire Nation. They came to help." said the rebel leader.
"It's time to take back what is ours! It's time to take back our city!" said Tonraq.
"Yeah!" the rebels cheered.
Rebels bend sheets of ice on which they slide down the mountain. Northern Water Tribe soldier in a nearby watchtower notices them and rings a warning bell. Northern reinforcements are being mobilized.
Meanwhile, at Pro-bending Arena, before cutting to a large poster of Ginger and Nuktuk hanging above the main entrance. A crowd of people as a Satomobile limousine arrives.
Children having their picture taken with Juji and Roh-Tan. "Say 'Nuktuk'!"
First Sheng steps out of the limo, then Bolin, and Ginger step out of the limo, arm-in-arm; cut to a side shot of the two walking into the arena. "There they are folks. Sheng Ichiro the best actor there is. And the sweethearts of the big screen, and Republic City's most famous couple, Bolin and Ginger."
Bolin walks inside with Ginger. "Wow, that was fun! And did you hear what Shiro said? We're Republic City's most famous couple."
"Bolin, you're a doll, but you're as dumb as the rocks you bend. We are not a couple." Ginger said.
"That's not what Shiro said!" Bolin shouts as Ginger walks away. "Stay focus now, buddy." Sheng said.
As Bolin and Ginger entered the Arena. Sheng walks to Mako, who is wearing a trench coat, a hat, and glasses. "Okay, here's the plan: You stay here and keep an eye on Varrick's goons. And when you saw them, stop them. Chief Beifong will take care of Varrick."
"Got it. And… thanks for believing me, Sheng."
"No problem, Mako. It's not just I care about Raiko, but I do this for my wife and my kids." Sheng said bravely before he entered the Arena.
Gang shoving a Varri-cake in his mouth outside of the arena, including Lu. Lin Beifong steps into the shot from the side. "Stop stuffing your mustaches with Varri-cakes and get to your post!"
Gang stands at attention with Lu. "You got it, boss."
"You two are the pinnacle of refinement." Beifong said sarcastically. "I hope Sheng's plan would work."
Raiko steps out of the limo. "This star-studded event just keeps getting star-studdier folks. President Raiko just arrived, and they're being greeted by entrepreneur extraordinaire Varrick." Shiro said. Varrick approaches them.
"There he is, my most honoured guest." Varrick handshakes Raiko's. What do you think?" The two walks forward. "No expense has been spared, I brought in the finest entertainers from Ba Sing Se, and the best food from around the world. Heck! I even had this red carpet imported from the Fire Nation! They make the best red stuff over there. Fact! All right, picture time."
"Varrick, you didn't have to do all this for us." Raiko said.
"I wanted to. Mr. President, I knew that you were a man of exquisite taste. And that's why I know you're gonna love this mover!" Varrick said.
"Varrick, I know what you're doing, and I doubt your propaganda is going to change my mind about going to war with the Northern Water Tribe." said Raiko.
"Oh, I think you'll be surprised how persuasive I can be."
Inside the arena, where the playing area has been fitted with speakers and a giant screen. On a open booth where President Raiko is seated. Pan to the left of the booth to show two more VIP booths; Bolin, Sheng, Ginger, and Asami occupy the left booth, and Naga and Pabu are in the right one. The animals' booth, where a waiter serves them food. On the playing area where Varrick is standing in the darkened arena, with a spotlight shining on him.
"Thank you all for coming for the finale of 'Nuktuk: Hero of the South'! You know, when I first started this project there were a lot of naysayers out there. 'You can't make pictures move' they said. 'You can't take some knucklehead earthbender and make him a star' they said." Varrick said which made the crowd laugh. "'You can't teach a polar bear dog to speak' they said. Well, they're wrong! Thanks to the magic of the movers, our furry friends have found their voices, and you'll be shocked to hear what they have to say. They speak of the injustice that is happening in the Southern Water Tribe right now." He stares at Raiko's booth. "My hope, is that their words, and this epic mover, will inspire a real life hero to rise up, and help." Raiko glances uneasily. "Thank you again, enjoy the show!" The screen lights up, revealing Nuktuk held by a bird on the shoulders.
"When last we left our hero, he was captured by the Evil Unalaq's dastardly pet bird. Amazingly, with the power of his whistling, Nuktuk escaped." A whistling Nuktuk, followed by the far shot where the bird drops the hero. "And decided to seek out council."
A seal lion growling, with Nuktuk kneeling in front before a fish is thrown to the animal.
"Thank you, wise sage. I will travel to Republic City and seek help." said Nuktuk
At Republic City, at the President's office, where Nuktuk enters the room to find Sheng, as President Raiko working with chemicals.
"Have a seat, I'm just working on a cure for the common cold. No longer will my citizens suffer from the sniffles." he said.
"Mr. President, there's something more important than the sniffles right now. I need your help to stop the Evil Unalaq." Nuktuk said.
"Did you say 'help.? If there is one thing I love doing, it's helping people."
"Hmm. That guy didn't voted for me." Raiko said bitterly.
"I think this is your best mover yet." Asami said. "I just wish Mako was here to see it." Bolin sadly.
Meanwhile, a small boat carrying four men in Northern Water Tribe armor pulls up alongside the arena and the three soldiers begin to climb up to the arena. Mako sees the men and follows them. Lu, who is licking the icing off of a Varri-cake, with his and Gang's backs to the window. Lu starts licking the cake. "Mmm. I like to eat the top of the Varri-cake first." he said. "I just try to shove the whole thing in my mouth at once." Gang before attempting to stuff the cake into his mouth.
Lu laughs. "I love our job."
They turn and see the four soldiers in the window. The soldiers knock the detectives out and bind and gag them in a locker, leaving the icing and saliva from their Varri-cake on the floor. Back to the screen; Nuktuk is chained to the wall while three automatons approach him.
"Northern Water Tribe automatons! No!" he shouts.
"Bee bow bop, Nuktuk cannot stop Unalaq, must destroy Nuktuk."
Roh-Tan stops between Nuktuk and the automatons and growls at the machines, forcing them to retreat. Juji joins in the growling, before freeing Nuktuk by firing laser beams from his eyes.
Nuktuk starts rubbing his wrists. "Haha! Arhg!" He retreats from an approaching automaton before throwing water at the machines, causing the machines to short circuit. "Looks like you forgot that water, and automatons, don't mix."
"Bee bow bop, oh no, circuits no working." The automatons breaks down.
"Hahaho!" He high-fives Roh-Tan. "We did it! But wait, where's Juji?" A belly-up Juji who is coughing, while a spotlight shines over him.
"Nuk-no!"
Nuktuk picks up Juji. "You can't die Juji! Not on my watch!"
"It's okay, Nuktuk. At least... I got to be your friend." Juji said. Before he licks Nuktuk's fingers before dying. Roh-Tan cries.
"Juji!" Nuktuk shouts in sadness.
Bolin sadly exits the booth. "Bolin where are you going?" Sheng whispered. "No, this is a new plan: Bolin being Mako's back up."
At the balcony of the arena, where Asami approaches Bolin. "Are you okay? It seems like this mover is really getting to you. You do know Juji's not really dead?"
"Of course, I know. Juji's fine. He comes back to life in the end when the doomsday device shifts the polarity of the Earth. Oops. Spoiler. Sorry." Bolin said.
"Then what's wrong?" Asami asked.
"I guess I just miss my friends. Everything is going so well for me, but it feels empty without everyone around. Korra's gone, Mako's in jail, you're doing... business-lady stuff. Team Avatar's fallen apart."
"I know. Things have changed to much since we first met." Asami said. "Why don't you come back in and finish watching the mover with me?"
"You go ahead. I need another another minute." Bolin said. As Asami leaves, there's a docked speedboat. "That's my cue."
At the back of the arena, where Bolin walks to Mako. "There you are, Mako."
"Bo, what are you doing here? I thought you had to stay at the booth." Mako said. "You'll need my help, big bro.'
Mako and Bolin walks tto the area where Lu and Gang were and Bolin slips on the cake that was dropped earlier, though manages to maintain his balance by stopping into a split. They hear banging on a nearby locker and opens it. They see Lu and Gang gagged and bound inside. Bolin removes Gang's ropes over his mouth to enable him to speak.
"They're after the President!" Gang shouts.
"Not if on our watch." Mako said before he and Bolin runs."
At Raiko's booth where the President is watching the mover.
"You're too late Nuktuk." Evil Unalaq shows Nuktuk his doomsday device. "Soon, my doomsday device will shoot this block of ice into the Earth's core, freezing the entire planet, and I will be ruler of Ice Earth!" He laughs diabolically.
"I don't think so." said Nuktuk.
Raiko is pulled backward by an unseen figure who have his hands clasped over Raiko's mouth in order to restrain them from making a sound. Revealing the figures to be the Northern soldiers, who are now busy tying up the already gagged President. The President's guards are slumped unconscious against the wall next to the door. As the soldiers finish their job and turn to guide the presidential couple to the door, Mako and Bolin barges into the booth, knocking the door out of the wall in the process.
"We don't think so." Bolin said.
One of the soldiers sends a water blast in Mako and Bolin's direction. The two brothers acrobatically flips out of the way. As they lands, Bolin uses his momentum to dislodge a slab of rock from the wall behind him and hurls it at his attacker. As the waterbender is hit square in the chest and thrown out of the booth, into the pool. The man plunges into the water, screaming. The people gasp and turn toward the direction of the noise. Lin, who also turns around with suspicion. Mako and Bolin punches the floor, crackling the ground with an earth wave which throws the three remaining waterbenders against the ceiling. When they land on the floor, Bolin throws another punch straight forward. The three soldiers are thrown out of the booth after each being hit by a rock. They land with heavy thuds on the metal bridge which allows access to the playing field from the players' locker. Inside the booth where Bolin has untied the President.
"Mr. President, get back, we're here to help." Bolin said.
Without hesitation, they run to the edge of the booth and humps down. They lands in a crouch, Bolin start ripping the sleeves of his suit as he lands. He stands up and tears his sleeves off completely, a determined look adorning his face. Mako and Bolin cracks their neck and walks forward. As approaches the three assailants standing on the arena.
"Looks like there's no where to go." Mako said.
A waterbender attacks Mako and Bolin with water from the playing area, but they manages to dodge the attack. The audience gasp in fear. Mako and Bolin engages the trio, before focusing to Lin and her officers. "Secure the President and call for backup immediately!" she ordered.
The officers run off for reinforcements. On the playing area where Mako and Bolin avoids the attacks. Mako firebends one out, and Bolin bends out three earth discs and each disc at a waterbender. One of them got hit and is incapacitated. The remaining two waterbenders continue attacking. The brothers dodges one of the waterbender's attack, while Nuktuk avoids Unalaq's attack in a similar fashion. Mako and Bolin attempts to attack one of them, but is thrown aside by a water hose by the other bender.
"Bolin, look out!/Nuktuk, look out!"
Bolin and Mako runs to the speaker on the right, before changing course to avoid an attack. When attacked on the other side, they stop at the center and bends out two entire stacks of earth discs. The waterbenders throw hoses at Bolin, which he blocks using the stacks, while Nuktuk hides from Unalaq's attack from behind a pillar. Bolin waits for the moment before throwing the stack at the waterbenders, which successfully hit them. Bolin throws discs from the stacks to the waterbenders, while Nuktuk continues throwing streams of water.
"Good shot, bro."
Shiro Shinobi sees the fight. "This is unbelievable! Bolin and his brother are bending two full stacks of earth disks at once, which would normally be illegal, but then again, he's fighting three waterbenders, so all rules are out the window!"
Back to the dust filled arena, where Bolin bends out an earth disc and knocks out one of the soldiers. He knocks out another soldier. The other soldier waterbends and prepares to attack the brothers, but they dodges the attack and Mako firebends to shield himself from another water blast. "He's yours, Mako!" Bolin shouts.
Mako fights the last soldier one-on-one, with both fighters circling each other while dodging each other's attacks. Mako leaps and firebends at the soldier, knocking him out to a nearby speaker.
"Tell us who sent you!" Mako demanded.
"It was Varrick, please don't hurt me!" the soldier confessed horrified.
Bolin and Mako and turns to look up at Varrick, who is now worried. "I think this is our cue to exit."
Lin blocking the exit with four officers standing behind her. "Where do you think you're going?"
Varrick eyes the surroundings uneasily. Back on the arena, the soldier attempts to attack Mako, but Bolin retaliates in time and slams a disc to his stomach, tossing him into the pool, while Unalaq is defeated.
"It's a knockout!" Shiro Shinobi said enthusiastically.
The audience, Sheng and Asami, who cheer at Mako and Bolin. Bolin turns and waves back at the audience with Nuktuk.
Meanwhile, back at the Southern Tribe at night, on the streets where Northern soldiers retreat from the rebels and the Fire Nation soldiers.
"They're falling back!" Tonraq said.
A low howl is heard. The rebels and the fire troops turn to see dark spirits perched on the walls of buildings, with Desna and Eska standing on the roof. They turn around to see Unalaq riding a large dark spirit. Unalaq, followed by one of Tonraq.
Back to the arena where Varrick and Zhu Li were led into a police truck. A reporter takes a picture.
"Varrick's plan was to kidnap you and blame it on the North. Then Republic City would have no choice, but to join the war on the side of the South." Lin said.
"I can't believe Varrick would do something like this, and no one saw it coming." Raiko said.
Mako approaches. "I did, sir." Raiko looks proud of Mako.
"You got a great officer on your hands."
"He's one of the best. And he makes a great detective." Beifong said.
On the entrance where many reporters are taking pictures of Bolin and Sheng. Ginger runs up to the beaming Bolin and kisses him, taking him aback. When the kissing stops, Bolin looks on dreamily.
"I can't believe my boyfriend is a real life hero!" Ginger said.
Bolin got confused. "Boyfriend? Wait, stop. I thought you said we weren't a couple."
"You really are as dumb as those rocks. Of course, we're a couple." Ginger said before she kisses Bolin.
"See?" said Sheng. "I told you she would fall for you whatsoever."
Asami came to Bolin. "Bolin, you and Mako saved the President! And you proved Mako was right all along. We have to go tell him what happened."
"Yeah!" Bolin returns to kissing Ginger, which Asami responds by clearing her throat. "Oh, you meant right now."
Bolin turns up to see Oogi descending to the Arena. Korra jumps off the bison and approaches the President. "President Raiko!"
"Avatar Korra? What do you want now?" Raiko asked bitterly.
While Korra, Tenzin, Kya, Bumi, Dallas and Kaori walk up. "Look, I know I've asked for your help before, but things have changed. Unalaq doesn't just wanna take over the South anymore. He wants to destroy the whole world."
Bolin, Asami, Mako, Sheng and Beifong looks in shock, and Raiko as well; secretly glad to hear that the spirit portal is opened.
"Unalaq is going to destroy the world? He really does have a doomsday device?" Bolin asked in fear.
"He's trying to release a powerful dark spirit during Harmonic Convergence, which is only a few days away. If he succeeds, the world as we know it, is over."
"Hi, Sheng Ichiro. Bolin's told me much about you. Then he got upset about Mako break up with you, and he dates Asami while you were gone…" Sheng explains, but stops himself. "What?" Korra asked before she angrily glance at Mako. "Uh, I never meant to tell you that, but…" Sheng tries to say something.
"Forget it. Sir, we desperately need your help." Korra said.
"I'm sorry, Korra, but my answer is still no." Raiko said before Korra, the scientist, his assistant and Aang's children widen their eyes in shock. The angry look on Korra's face when he said no again. She never thought she'd hated him more.
"There are lives on the line! And my daughter is one of them! Raiko, you must reconsider!" Tenzin yelled angrily.
"I'm aware that lives are on the line. And that's precisely why my troops are staying here. If the world is going to be thrown into chaos as you claim, I need to protect my citizens. I'm sorry."
"Sir, Nuktuk needs your help. I know you love helping people." Bolin tries to reason with Raiko.
"Son, I appreciate you saving my life and I'm a big fan of your work, but my decision is final." Raiko said.
"But Unalaq is going to destroy everything, including Republic City." Korra snaps. "Do you really want my family to die!?"
"Korra, my decision is final. I will not send my troops to the South." Raiko said before before he walks off. Korra gets really angry, she uses firebend on Raiko. Raiko gets on fire; he screams in fear and agony. Everyone was in shocked about Korra firebended Raiko.
"Korra, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Mako snapes angrily.
"Oh, now you're still on his side?" Korra said sarcastically in anger.
"I've had it with you thinking I'm on everyone's sides! You can't just firebend the President!"
"First you ratted me out, then you broke up with me, and now you're dating Asami again?! I should have known you never cared for me!" Korra yelled making Asami feel guilty and sad.
"We're not having this conversation right now! You're under arrest for attacking President Raiko, after I check on him!" Mako yelled back before he runs to Raiko, who is lying face down on the stairs. Two waterbenders uses waterbending to put out the fire on Raiko.
"Mr. President, are you alright?" Mako asked before he kneels to Raiko. He turns Raiko around and sees a melted face, but there is robotic body and face.
"Sir." He rips off what remains of Raiko's suit. "You… Huh?"
Everyone sees Raiko as a robot lying down the ground.
"Raiko is a robot?" Korra asked in shock. "Sheng, Varrick should have thought about you doing a robot Raiko." Bolin said to Sheng, who looks at him uneasily.
"That doesn't make any sense." Asami said. "How did a robot got elected as President?"
Suddenly, a panel in Raiko's stomach opens. Two eyes appeared in the dark inside the stomach.
Bumi gasped in shocked and fear. "President Raiko's…" A girl's head with tiny, spider-like robotic legs comes out of robot Raiko's stomach. "A girl's head with spider legs?!" This is no ordinary head, but none other than the Fire Princess Azula, daughter of Ozai and sister of Zuko.
Bolin screams in a high-pitched voice in fear. "AAAAAHH! It's the former Fire Princess Azula! That's the same one who… who…"
"Who was the crowned princess of the Fire Nation, head of the Dai Li, leader of the Fire Warriors, and who conquered Ba Sing Se in the name of my father, the previous Fire Lord Ozai those centuries ago." Azula confessed evilly.
"Azula?" Tenzin went in shock. "One of Dad's sworn enemies?" Bumi went in shock as well. "The President was actually her this whole time?" Kya asked in shock.
"Wh-what happened to you? Why are you a head?" Korra asked.
"Well, Korra, a long time ago, when Avatar Aang found me, I vowed revenge against him and my brother. We've had a minor battle. He used waterbend on me, leaving me frozen in ice. Oh, I was trapped in that ice for so long. I prayed for someone who can save me. But, on that day before the Equalist Revolution, I was defrost at last. I was free, but my body wasn't very lucky. I had some scientists removed my head from my weak body, planted these robot spider legs. I've waited for you to defeat Amon while I seek alliance at the Northern Water Tribe, then I found Unalaq. He plans to free Vaatu from his prison and I volunteered to his plans."
"You're Unalaq's partner." Dallas said. "You got that right." Azula said back.
"But, why the Raiko scheme?" Korra asked.
"As Max A. Raiko, I got elected as President of the United Republic to lure you to Unalaq's trap to open the portals. And now, they are opened, Vaatu will be free during Hamonic Convergence. And I will rule the nations and finally have my revenge!"
"Not if I could help it." Mako said before he tries to grab Azula, but she makes lightningbending out of nowhere and used it on Mako, who got in pain and falls down the ground and Azula blast off with fire out from her robot neck of her head and lands on a police truck.
"How can you lightningbending like this?!" Tenzin asked.
"Those scientists may have removed my head, but I can still firebend and lightingbend with my mind and even in a robot body. You're all fools for me to toy with. And Mako, I heard you broke up with the Avatar that day you told me everything. That really cracked me up! After all, you did sworn an oath! Hahahahahahahaha! See you all in the new era! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She blasts away while laughing evilly.
"Never should have saved that guy." Bolin said before he flinches. "I mean, girl."
Mako felt shocked and guilty for what he had done. "I can't believe it. I-I ratted my girlfriend out to Avatar Aang's dangerous enemy ever. What have I done? It's all my fault! If I hadn't told Azula everything about Korra's stunt, this never would have happened."
"That's in the past." Dr. Franceschini said as he puts his hand on Mako's shoulders. "You mean the present or the future?" Kaori asked.
"Doesn't matter. The point is, if Unalaq and Azula frees Vaatu, the world will turn into darkness."
"I won't let that happen." Korra determined. "If you guys need help, I'm here for you." Asami said. "Yeah, me too." Bolin replied.
"And me." Mako determined. "Azula's gonna pay for tricking me."
"Sheng, you'll send several troops to come with us and several troops shall stay here for protection just in case." Korra said.
"Me? But I'm not the President. I'm just an actor." Sheng said.
"But you'll make a great President." Korra said. "Can you do it for us?"
Sheng looks unsure, but shows a serious, brave face. "Yes, I can. President Sheng Ichiro reporting for duty." Sheng salutes to Korra and Korra salutes back. "Beifong, come with me. We'll send several battle ships to fight the Northerners." Sheng and Beifong walks off.
"We need to figure out how to deal with Unalaq and Azula." Tenzin said.
"I think I know just the man to talk to." Bolin said.
At a lavish prison cell where Varrick is detained. The businessman turns to look at his guests. Theprison cell is filled with lavish decorations and amenities.
"Guys, hey, what do you think? Varrick Industries built this prison, and I had this cell made special. I had a feeling I'd end up here one day." Varrick said. "Zhu Li, c'mon, we got guests! Whip up a pot of that green tea I love!"
"Yes, sir."
"Zhu Li's in prison with you?" Korra asked. "Of course! I don't go anywhere without my assistant. Do you?" Varrick said while Zhu Li is pouring tea.
"We're not interested in your tea. And this isn't a friendly visit." Mako said in an annoyed tone.
"Don't tell me you guys are still mad about everything that happened. I did some good things, too. Korra, who warned you about Unalaq? I did. Bolin, who got you into the movers? I did. Asami, who saved your company? I did. Mako, who got you thrown in jail!? I did! Oh yeah, guess that was a bad thing."
"You stole everything from me, and you tried to kidnap the President. Those are pretty bad, too. Until he turns out to be Aang's deadly foe, who came back as a disembodied head with spider legs." Asami said.
"I wasn't going to hurt him. I just needed to start a war. Well, a bigger war." Varrick said. "Wait, Aang's deadly enemy came back as a disembodied head with spider legs? Which one?"
"That would be 'Fire Princess Azula'." Mako answered which made Varrick dropped his jar.
"I don't believe it. I was a campaign contributor for 'THE Fire Princess AZULA'!" Varrick said in shock. "And I tried to KIDNAP HER!"
And we're gonna end the war and stop her and Unalaq. Where's all the stuff you stole from Asami?" Bolin asked. "It's all on my battleship." Varrick said.
"You have a battleship?" Korra asked. "Of course,I do! I bought the first one they made! Named her the 'Zhu Li'." Varrick said before he sits down.
"You named your battleship after your assistant?" Bolin asked in confused.
"Yup. They're both cold, heartless war machines."
"Your tea, sir." Zhu Li said before Varrick grabs his tea.
"Look, I'm truly sorry for the mess I caused." Varrick said apologetically. "I just wanna save the Southern Tribe. Let me make it up to you, take Zhu Li." Everyone looks on in silence before Varrick talks again. "My battleship, it's yours, and everything on it."
Korra is smiling. "It's not the fleet we were looking for, but it's the next best thing."
"All right! Team Avatar is back in business. Haha!" Bolin said ecstatic.
Bolin grabs Korra by the shoulder and pulls her toward Mako and Asami, where the four share a group hug. Korra looks at Varrick.
"And Varrick… I'm not mad at you at all. I'm glad you tried to kidnap Raiko, and I should have known it was Azula all along." Korra said before she walks to Varrick's cell and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Korra." Varrick smiles.
At the Zhu Li, where Korra is standing at the deck, looking out into the vast ocean.
Mako walks up It's okay. We're going to stop Unalaq and Azula, and get Jinora back.
"I'm not talking to you." Korra said bitterly before she walks away from Mako, who is sad. She walks to Kaori. "I hope my dad's all right.
"I'm sure he's fine." Kaori said.
Meanwhile, back at the Southern Tribe, where Tonraq is attacking a dark spirit perched on a wall. The spirit jumps off to avoid the attack and slams on the ground, knocking off a rebel and a Fire Nation soldier with its tail before charging at Tonraq again, where he retaliates with a water blast, dissipating it. He turns, only to be knocked back with a water stream. A rebel assists with a stream, but gets knocked back. The assailants are Desna and Eska. Tonraq dodges the attack and retreats behind a pillar for cover. He braces himself to shield from another attack.
"Get the men and fall back." Tonraq ordered. "What about you?" a rebel asked.
Tonraq shields himself from another attack before noticing his brother walking with attacking soldiers and a dark spirit.
"I'm going to end this, right now. Go."
Tonraq bends an ice wall, separating the twins. Desna dodges before bending out an ice shield, only for Tonraq to destroy it. Tonraq runs across the alley and attacks two soldiers before freezing the other two.
"Hello, Tonraq. Looking for me?" Unalaq asks wickedly.
Tonraq bends a massive stream at Unalaq, who stops it with an ice shield. In the mist, Unalaq attacks Tonraq with a massive ice block, throwing him some distance.
"Brother, I'm too strong for you." Unalaq said.
"You're no brother of mine. You betrayed me, you had me banished!" Tonraq said.
"Yes! I did." Unalaq replied with a evil grin.
Enraged, Tonraq charges at Unalaq with waterbending, only for his momentum to be stopped by Desna and Eska.
Unalaq walks down the stairs toward Tonraq. "Stop! He's mine." Unalaq's children stop bending and step back.
"You are not the true chief." Tonraq said. "I am. And you will bow to me." Unalaq said back.
Unalaq bends the snow beneath him, slamming Tonraq against an ice wall. Tonraq bends out a stream, which Unalaq catches and spins into a circle. As Tonraq charges, he uses the stream to form ice structures, which Tonraq manages to dodge and counter. Unalaq bends out a large stream, which Tonraq dodges at the last minute before protecting himself with a wall and attacking Unalaq. Behind the wall, he rides an ice sheet and charges toward Unalaq. Before Tonraq can land the final blow, Unalaq knocks him off with an ice pillar. He approaches Tonraq and demolishes all the ice structures, before freezing him. He smirks in victory while Tonraq closes his eyes, bracing himself for the impact. Unalaq bends out a stream, shattering the ice and knocking Tonraq out.
"Now that I've defeated you, your daughter is next."
OMG, President Raiko is really Azula in disguise! And she's now a head! Can Korra beat Vaatu, Unalaq and Aang's worst enemy of all?
Let's find out on Chapter 12.
