A/N: If you saw what happened last Chapter then you can tell that Zakai is developing some sort of Crush on Korra but it seems that Mako being there for her is sorta making things difficult.


Newsreel

Shiro Shinobi: [Narrating a newsreel.] Amon's revolution grows stronger by the day. First, he attacked the bending arena! Then it was discovered that Hiroshi Sato was the mastermind behind the Equalist gloves and mecha tanks! And most recently, Amon ambushed Councilman Tarrlok, took his bending, and nearly captured the Avatar as well! Everyone is on edge, wondering where will Amon strike next?While Amon told Zakai who is family is and how he could easily shrug off Bloodbending and use it to control blood of others. But the Zakai has been contemplating on what to do, should he follow in his grandfather footsteps? Or should he be a hero of justice? But the fact remains how will his friends react when they figure out he's Yakone's Grandson.


"Turning the Tides"


Air Temple Island; The Courtyard

Naga and Pabu are seen curled up in a courtyard on Air Temple Island.


Inside The Mansion; Guest Room

Cut to a shot of Korra lying asleep in bed with her hair all undone, as Mako watches over her. He holds her hand, while Asami watches silently from a doorway. She looks down sadly and leaves.


Hallway

Unaware that Zakai was around the corner and walked away when he saw Tenzin enter his room as Zakai moves up he opens the doorway a little as he looks inside the room.


Tenzin Room

Cut to Tenzin entering his room, where his wife and children are all sleeping in one bed. He sits next to the bed and places his hand on Pema's stomach, as both she and Jinora open their eyes.

Jinora: [Sits up in bed.] Daddy, you're home. We waited up for you. Is Korra okay?

Tenzin: Yes, she's fine, sweetie. [Picks up Ikki as she wakes up, and embraces her.]

Ikki: I was scared. I thought she wasn't coming back.

Tenzin: [Fatherly.] I'm sorry you were scared, but everything is going to be fine now. I promise.


The Dining Hall

In the dining hall at Air Temple Island, Korra chows down on food while sitting at a table with Bolin, Zakai, Mako, Asami, Tenzin, Lin, and Pema.

Korra: Mmm. Mmm. The food tastes amazing, Pema. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again.

Pema: [While standing up to retrieve Korra's cleaned plate.] We're so thankful you're home safe.

Asami: [Standing up to assist Pema.] Let me help.

Zakai: [Also standing up to assist Pema.] Me too.

Tenzin: Korra, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened.

Korra: Well, first off, Tarrlok isn't who he says he is. He's Yakone's son. [Tenzin and Lin appear shocked as Zakai looks at their faces with a pained expression.]

Lin: It all makes sense now. That's how Tarrlok was able to bloodbend us without a full moon.

Tenzin: But how did you escape? And where's Tarrlok?

Korra: Amon captured him, [Close-up of her serious face.] and took his bending.

Tenzin: [Shocked.] What?

Korra: Yeah, he showed up out of nowhere. He almost got me, too. And if Zakai hadn't found me I think I would've been frozen to death.

Lin: Speaking of which how did you survive Tarrlok Bloodbending? When he knocked us out you were gone what happened?

Everyone was looking at Zakai as he then decided to tell the truth about himself. (Still partially though.)

Zakai: [Sighs.] Well for the most part as Tarrlok used his Bloodbending on everyone there I actually barely felt it so I decided to play along with the Unconscious routine and follow him which it led me to his place along with seeing Amon and his Equalist's. As I planned to bust out Korra she got out herself and ran away. As the Equalist's left I immediately decided to climb down the slope and that's where I found lying in the snow and tried to keep her warm and carried her until Naga found us.

Korra: [Awe.] You carried me through a storm?

Zakai: Yes I did, but only for a quarter mile of it Naga deserves Taking us back to the city.

Lin: That still doesn't answer my question: "How did you not go unconscious like the rest of us?"

Zakai: Because... because my parents, my father, he ... he was a Son of Yakone.

This shocked everyone there as well as Korra.

Korra: Wait, your the Grandson of Yakone?!

Zakai Nodded his head.

Bolin: Ok, this is a lot to process. Zakai, is the grandson of Yakone, is your father Tarrlok?

Zakai: What?! No, all I know is that my father, Pesres, was a son of a Waterbend Instructor and from the Northern Watertribe but moved down to Republic City where he met my mom. He and her opened a Pawn Shop where Benders and Non-Benders paid to buy or sell things. That's all I know all of, I know you all are going through a lot and questioned my actions and purpose but let me say this. I'm not Yakone, I actually want what is best for this City and I really think the Avatar can help us especially now. Since Amon took down Tarrlok with little ease. It seems that Amon is closing in on Republic city and I think we're coming to the endgame.

Soon he leaves to go wash up dishes and Tenzin agrees with Zakai on this one.

Tenzin: I agree, this is very disturbing news. Amon is becoming emboldened. Taking out a councilman, almost capturing the Avatar ... I fear Amon is entering his endgame.

Bolin, Korra and Mako exchange glances of concern.


The Kitchen

Soon we see Zakai come in and hold his dish out and is ready to clean.

Zakai: Sorry I'm here late I needed everyone attention to what I was saying to them.

Asami: It's ok.

Cut to Asami and Pema washing dishes in the kitchen. Pema suddenly doubles over and cries out in pain.

Asami: [Grabbing Pema's shoulder in concern.] Pema, are you all right?

Pema: The baby is ... just kicking, really hard, is all. I'm fine.

Asami: [Close-up of her concerned face.] Should I get Tenzin?

Pema: No reason to worry him, it's nothing.

Mako walks into the kitchen carrying a teapot.

Mako: Can I get some hot water? Korra needs more tea.

Asami: [Angrily.] You're a firebender. Boil it yourself.

Asami continues washing her dish as Mako, Zakai and Pema stare at her with confusion.

Pema: [Brightly.] I'm- gonna step out in case you two want to talk. [Grimaces as she leaves.]

Zakai: I uh, I'll go with Pema. [Grimaces as well and leaves.]

Mako: [Confusedly.] Is there something we need to talk about?

Asami: I've noticed how you treat Korra. How you acted when she was missing. [Drops dish and washcloth in the sink and turns to face him.] You have feelings for her, don't you?

Mako: [Defensively.] What? No! She was taken by a crazy bloodbender! How did you expect me to act?

Asami: [Puts her hand to her chest.] I like Korra. [Moves it away from her chest and turns away slightly.] But you've been keeping the truth from me this whole time.

Mako: [Confusedly.] The truth? About what?

Asami: [Angrily.] You're really going to make me say it?

Mako: Yes! Because I don't know what you're talking about!

Asami: The kiss, Mako. [Close-up of her face.] I know.

Mako: [Shocked.] I- Well I- [Sighs; angrily.] Bolin told you, didn't he?!

Asami: [Just as angrily.] Don't blame your brother for what you did. Do you have feelings for Korra or not?

Mako: Look, things are crazy right now. Can we deal with our relationship problems later? [Places his hand on hers.]

Asami: [Yanking her hand away; somewhat coldly.] Well there might not be any relationship to worry about later. [Marches out of the kitchen.]

Mako: Asami! [Groans in frustration.]


In the Courtyard

Cut to Tenzin walking through a courtyard, as Lin comes up from behind.

Tenzin: Lin, um, I, I- I need to ask you a favor. It would mean the world to me ... but I-I know it could be a- a potentially awkward situation; furthermore, - [Lin interrupts.]

Lin: Spit it out already!

Tenzin: Will you stay here and watch over Pema and the children while I meet with the council? With everything that has happened lately, I want to be sure my family is in safe hands.

Lin: [Puts her hand on Tenzin's shoulder.] Of course I'll help, old friend.

Zakai And Pema walk up, as she is holding Meelo.

Pema: [With suspicion.] I didn't realize you two were out here.

Zakai: [Amused.] Yeah, very interesting situation out here.

Tenzin: Pema! Zakai! Ye- yes- yes, Lin has agreed to help out around here and keep an eye on things while I'm away.

Pema: Thank you! I could use the extra pair of hands. [Gives a laughing Meelo to Lin.] Would you mind giving him a bath? He's filthy.

Meelo sticks out his tongue and blows a raspberry at Lin, while continuing to laugh.

Lin: [As Tenzin mounts his sky bison; yelling out to Tenzin angrily while holding Meelo away from herself.] This is not what I signed on for!

Tenzin: Thank you, Lin! Oogi, yip yip.

Tenzin takes to the sky on Oogi. Lin turns her head back to Meelo, who is picking his nose.

Meelo: I gotta poo! [Lin holds him farther away from herself.] Really bad!

Meelo grunts and Lin quickly metal bends a cable around his waist to avoid touching the soiled child. Lin makes a disgusted face and hurriedly carries him away as Zakai chuckled at Lin's misfortune.


Meanwhile in Republic City; The Fire Nation representative of the United Republic Council Home

Cut to a large house in Republic City, before cutting to a room inside. The Fire Nation representative of the United Republic Council is pacing nervously about the room, while her husband is absorbed in a newspaper.

Councilwoman: Do you know where my keys are? I can't find them anywhere!

Husband: [Reading the newspapers; uninterested.] No, dear.

Councilwoman: [Pulling them out of her purse.] Oh, found them!

Husband: [Uninterested.] Good, dear.

Councilwoman: Don't wait up for me; this council session will probably go late into the night. [Hears a knock at the front door and rushes to answer it.]

Husband: [Uninterested.] The door, dear.

The councilwoman opens the door to find two men in uniforms standing on the front step, one of which is actually Amon's Lieutenant in disguise. He quickly gives a sly smile before looking normal.

Lieutenant: We're here to fix a spider-rat problem. [Holds up spray hose and poison can.]

Councilwoman: I didn't call an exterminator.

The Lieutenant electrocutes her with the spray hose, which is actually disguised Equalist equipment. Both step into the house as a thump of her body collapsing onto the ground can be heard.

Husband: [Worried.] Dear?


Meanwhile with Tenzin

Cut to Tenzin landing on the roof of City Hall on Oogi. He dismounts and walks around the dome, where several workers are cleaning the glass. They nod at each other as Tenzin passes. He walks a few steps further, but pauses as he hears the fizz of electricity. He ducks in surprise as an electrified disk spirals over his head, and spins midair as another barely misses him. He lands on his feet as the Equalists in disguise drop to the ground and seize his wrists with bolas. Tenzin dodges their attacks, and airbends himself high into the air with an air sprout. The Equalist who was still standing on the ground is flung backward against the concrete wall by a gust of wind; he slumps down against it. Switch to a looking up short of Tenzin riding his air spout and the two Equalists holding onto their bolas for dear life as they are spun around. Unable to hold on any longer, they release their grip and are flung onto a nearby rooftop. Tenzin lands back on the ground as the door opens and the council page comes out.

Council page: Aah! [Covering his face as the wind dies down, and lowers his arms.] Ah, I'm so relieved to see you!

Tenzin: The other council members. Are they all right?

Council page: [Looks worried.] I'm afraid not! I just received a call from Chief Saikhan. They've all been captured!

Tenzin: This can't be happening.

Council page: [Holding his hands out toward him.] The leadership of Republic City is in your hands now.

Tenzin and the page hear the sound of nearby explosions and run to the edge of the roof to see bombs falling onto the city from airships.

Council page: [Grabbing head and wailing.] It is a tragic day indeed!


Meanwhile at Air Temple Island

Cut to Air Temple Island. Lin and Zakai are standing in the courtyard with Tenzin's children and the White Lotus sentries, as the Equalists airships fly in overhead.

Lin: All right, kids, time to go inside.

Korra, Mako, Bolin and Asami rush in to see what is going on. Jinora, Ikki and Meelo walk back into the house.

Korra:We heard explosions, what's going on?

Lin: Republic City is under attack.


Meanwhile in Amon's Airship

Cut to Hiroshi Sato, looking at a photograph of himself, his wife, and Asami as a child. He snaps the picture shut and tucks it away in his jacket pocket, before walking toward Amon, who is watching the city from the windows at the front of the airship.

Hiroshi Sato: I've dreamed of this day for so long.

Amon: Yes, the time has come for the Equalists to claim Republic City as their own.

Hiroshi Sato turns and looks at Amon.


Meanwhile with Team Avatar; Near the Bay

Cut to Republic City from across the bay, as smoke rises and sirens and explosions are heard. Korra, Mako, Bolin and Asami get off of Tenzin's boat and run off the dock.

Asami: Where did you say you parked the car?

Korra: It's right around here somewhere. [Looks around and spots the car.] There it is.

Team Avatar runs to the Satomobile, which has crashed into a pole.

Asami: [Sarcastically.] Wow, nice parking job.

Korra defends herself on her "terrible" parking job.

Korra: Hey, you guys got arrested and left me alone with the car! I made it very clear I don't know how to drive.

Bolin: All things considered you did a great job! [Grabs the parking tickets off the windshield.] But how are we going to pay for all these parking tickets?

Mako: [Mako grabs the parking tickets out of Bolin's hand, crumples them up, and burns them. Bolin gasps in horror.] Relax, the city is under attack. The police have more important things to worry about.

Asami: [Asami opens the trunk and takes out an electrified glove.] This'll come in handy. [Opens the driver's side door and sits down. Mako goes to sit next to her. Asami looks at him disdainfully.] Why don't you sit in back? With Korra.

Mako: I think I will. [Asami starts the car.]

Korra: Everything all right?

Mako: [Turning his head to the side; sarcastically.] Yeah, everything is terrific ...

Bolin: [As Asami backs up very fast.] Car! Oh, we're good.


Republic City Police Headquarters

Cut to outside police headquarters before switching to a control room inside.

Male telegraph operator #1[To Saikhan.] Chief! Air unit seven was just taken out by an Equalist airship. They've crashed into the harbor!

Saikhan: Send a river rescue unit.

Female telegraph operator: Chief, all the river rescue ships have been sabotaged!

Saikhan: What?

Tenzin: [Opens the door and enters.] Chief Saikhan.

Saikhan: Tenzin, am I glad to see you. I was afraid you'd been captured too.

Tenzin: I'm the only Council member left. What's the status?

Saikhan: Amon has launched simultaneous attacks across the boroughs. The police are trying to regain control but we're spread too thin.

Tenzin: [Strokes his beard pensively; to the clerks.] I need to send a wire.

Male telegraph operator #2: To whom, Councilman?

Tenzin: The general of the United Forces.

Cut to the halls of Police Headquarters, as people run in both directions. The camera pans up to the air vents, where smoke pours out. Amid the smoke, people cough and fall over.

Male telegraph operator #2: Councilman, your wire has been sent.

Female telegraph operator: Chief, the phone lines just went dead!

Saikhan and Tenzin glance at each other as an alarm goes off. The power goes out, silencing the alarm. Saikhan turns on a flashlight.

Saikhan: Catch. [Throws another flashlight to Tenzin.]

They both search the room with their flashlights. Tenzin notices smoke coming out of a vent.

Tenzin: Saikhan, the vents. [Saikhan metalbends the vent shut as the people in the room begin coughing.] We need to evacuate immediately. Everyone stay close to me.

We see a smoke-filled hallway, where Tenzin walks down with an air dome to protect Saikhan and his workers.


Outside the Police Headquarters

Cut to the headquarters' entrance, where Tenzin's party escapes the smoke and Tenzin stops airbending. Everyone in Tenzin's party gasp and the camera show an aerial view of six mecha tanks surrounding the entrance.

Tenzin: Not these mecha tanks again!

The mecha tanks hold up magnetic arms that attract the metalbender's police uniforms. Two metalbender officers get captured with this magnetism and Tenzin tries to save Saikhan by pulling on him with an air current. However, the magnet is too strong and captures Saikhan.

The three mecha tanks deposit their metalbender officers into a truck. One mecha tank fires a pincer cable at Tenzin, but he airbends the cable down and continues attacking the mecha tank. Two mecha tanks fire cables at Tenzin, who once again deflects them with airbending. A mecha tank charges toward Tenzin and fires a pincer cable at Tenzin, knocking him against the wall of police headquarters. Tenzin uses an air wheel to soften his fall. He looks up and the camera changes to his point of view, as he sees the truck drive away.

Tenzin: Saikhan, no!

Tenzin looks up as he sees a burning police airship falling out of sight behind a building. He sees the telegraph operators being captured by Equalists on the City Hall steps. His vision blurs and goes black as the mecha tanks close in. Cut to an aerial view, as six mecha tanks surround Tenzin and close in. Cut to a street, where Asami drives around a corner and floors the gas pedal. Bolin earthbends two ramps in front of the car.

Asami: Jump!

Team Avatar bails out of the car before the ramps launch it into the air and knock one mecha tank into another. The four mecha tanks close in on Team Avatar. Mako, Bolin, and Korra engage the tanks with their bending. A mecha tank is attacked with fire, while the one to its left fires a cable, only to be knocked back by a stone slab. The first mecha tank fires a cable at Bolin, who dodges it by launching himself away. Mako attacks a mecha tank, only to be grabbed by a cable and electrocuted. Mako grabs the cable and redirects the electricity at the mecha tank. The electricity courses through the tank as its lights go out and it slumps on itself. Korra melts the nearby snow into two water streams and dodges one of the cable and runs up one of Bolin's ramps and bends the water into the exhaust pipes of another mecha tank. It begins malfunctioning and Bolin uses earthbending to knock it over. Two Equalists have just carried Tenzin to a truck and set him down when Asami electrocutes one from behind. She takes out five more Equalists as they attack her, nimbly dodging their attacks before electrocuting them. Tenzin groans and stands.

Tenzin: [To Asami.] Thank you.

Tenzin joins Mako, who is dodging a mecha tank's attacks. Tenzin positions himself beneath the tank and airbends it high into the air, sending it flying into the dome of City Hall.


Amon's Airship

Cut to a view of the battle through a spyglass, before cutting to Hiroshi in Amon's airship.

Hiroshi: [To Amon.] Tenzin has escaped once again. I can't stand to see Asami fighting alongside those benders.

Amon: We'll capture them before long and you will have your daughter back.


Back with Team Avatar

Cut to Korra rushing up to Tenzin.

Korra: Are you all right?

Tenzin: I'm fine. Thank you, kids. Another moment later and I would have been on my way to Amon.

Mako: Uh, guys ... look.

He points down the street, where an Equalist airship can be seen arriving at Air Temple Island.

Tenzin:Oh no.


Equalist Airship

Cut to the airship as the hatch opens and the Lieutenant and a group of chi-blockers can be seen inside. They look down at the island as a metal hook and cable fires from above their heads and attaches to the temple's stone steps. The chi-blockers use harnesses to slide down the cable to the island. The White Lotus sentries are watching and charge forward to confront them.

We cut to Zakai and Lin standing in the courtyard, as Tenzin's family watches from the balcony.

Lin: Everyone, hide inside and remain calm. [Pema screams in pain; Lin turns around to face her.] Pull it together, Pema! Didn't I just say "remain calm"?

Ikki: [To Pema, who is leaning over with her hand on her stomach.] Mommy, what's wrong?

Pema: [In pain.] The baby's coming!

Jinora: [Putting her hands over her mouth.] Oh no!

Zakai: [Outstretched his hands and placed them on his head; panicked.] The Baby's Coming?!

Meelo: Not now, baby!

Two Air Acolyte midwives rush to help Pema and lead her inside, leaving the kids watching in concern. Cut to the White Lotus sentries watching as the chi-blockers run up the steps. They begin bending at them as a cable from a second airship buries itself in the steps immediately below them. More chi-blockers swing down, followed by the Lieutenant.

We see Lin standing guard in the courtyard, as Zakai grabs a glider staff and twirl's it around and stand next to Lin as he looks at her and nods and she nodded back as the two hear booted feet running. The Lieutenant and a group of chi-blockers race up the steps and charge. Lin uses her cables to take out two chi-blockers, before grabbing another Equalist with the cable. An Equalist runs up to her, which Zakai Intercepted with an earth column. As he then used the staff to blast a couple of Equalist's. Lin bends out a earth column and shoots the projectile to an Equalist's face. Zakai then used Fire Bending and made an Arc as it freaked out everyone there as Lin groans and slams the floor, creating three earth columns that send the Equalists flying into the air.


Inside the Air Temple

Cut to Pema in bed, as an Air Acolyte puts a cloth on her forehead.

Pema: The children, where are they?

Air Acolyte woman: Don't worry. They're in the other room, totally safe.


In the Courtyard

Cut to Lin fighting the Lieutenant. He intercepts her cables with his batons, sending a current through them to knock her over.

Zakai: Chief!!

Zakai then stands in front of her and faces the Lieutenant as he raises his electrified kali sticks both ready to fight until he sees Jinora flying in from behind the Equalist's.

Zakai: Jinora?

Jinora: [Flying in from behind on a glider.] Stay away from my dad's ex-girlfriend and Korra's Boyfriend! [She uses her staff to blow the Lieutenant away over a nearby roof.]

Zakai: [Comically Shocked.] BOYFRIEND?!?!


Zakai's Mind

we cut to see inside Zakai's mind as he screamed inhumanly as lightning and fire rain down the sky and his face was shocked at what Jinora said as he put his hands over his head in horror.

(A/N: Still funny to me.)


Reality

Soon Zakai was shocked in real life as he then blushed and corrected Jinora.

Zakai: [Embarrassed and Blushes]. She's not my Girlfriend! She's... my Rival. Yeah, nothing Romantic just Rivals!

As an Equalist tries to attack from Behind Zakai then 180 degrees hit him in the face and punches him in the chest in a quick succession and then jump kicks him in the chest and then used his staff to then hit an Equalist from his side in the knee as he kneeled before him as then Zakai then broke the staff with the Equalist head as the force from his knee knocked him out cold.

Lin: Jinora! You shouldn't be out here!

Ikki: [Arriving on an air scooter and knocking several Equalists over.] Get off our island! [Knocks down several more Equalists and joins Lin and Jinora.]

Lin: Girls! You need to go back inside this instant!

Meelo jumps down from the roof.

Meelo: Taste my fury! [He farts on an Equalist's face, knocking him unconscious.]

Lin: Meelo! Be careful!

Meelo sends three other blasts from his hands and rear, and makes a small air shield around himself to send the remaining Equalists flying. Close-up on Meelo, who has a drip of snot in his nose and an awkward slow motion face.

Lin: Never mind.

Zakai then sees an Equalist behind Jinora as he then used Waterbending from the nearby pond and hit him unconscious. As everyone there was shocked he could do four elements.

Lin: So... you can use the four elements.

Ikki: Wow, really? You can do four Elements like Korra?

Moments later we see the Equalists bound and in a row in front of Zakai, Lin, the children, and the White Lotus sentries.

Lin: [To the head sentry.] Take these Equalists and lock them in the temple's basement! [To the children.] Nice work, kids. [Oogi's grunt is heard and the kids rush out to the center of the courtyard.]

Jinora: Dad!

Ikki: You won't believe this but Zakai can water bend, Fire Bend, Air bend, and Earth bend Isn't that cool.

Oogi lands and Tenzin and Team Avatar dismount. Tenzin embraces his children.

Tenzin: Oh, thank goodness you're all right!

Meelo: [Climbs onto Tenzin's shoulder and pulls on his father's head.] We caught the bad guys.

Tenzin: [To Lin.] You let them fight? Do you realize what could have happened?

Lin:We would have been toast if it weren't for your kids. [Folds her arms.] You should be proud. You taught them well. [Tenzin looks over his shoulder at Meelo and down at Jinora and Ikki.] Go on, be with your wife.


In the Air Temple

Cut to a hall, which Tenzin runs down, when he hears the cry of a baby.

Tenzin: Pema! [Walks into the room with Pema holding a baby and smiles.]

Pema: Tenzin.

Tenzin: [Sits down on the bed and puts his hands on his wife's shoulders.] I'm here, Pema.

Pema: Our new son. [Hands the baby to Tenzin.]

Tenzin[Puts his finger on the baby's chin and it coos.] Hello. [Meelo, Ikki, and Jinora peer into the room.] Come, meet your new brother.

Meelo[Walks into the room with his sisters.] A brother? Well it's about time!

Ikki: [To the baby.] Welcome, I'm Ikki, and this is Jinora and Meelo. We have a super great family and we're so happy that you're a part of it.

Jinora: What're you gonna name him? [Puts her hands together in excitement.] Can I pick?

Pema: We already chose a name. [Rests her head on Tenzin's shoulder.]

Tenzin: Rohan.

Zakai, Lin, Korra, and Mako watch the scene from near the doorway.

Korra: [Takes two steps forward; sadly.] I'm so sorry to interrupt, but more airships are coming.

Tenzin looks down at Rohan.

Ikki: [Worried.] Everything's not gonna be fine, is it, Daddy?

As Tenzin looks around he couldn't help but be worried as he looks at his newborn whimpering as he wanted to touch his fathers face.


Back outside the Temple

Cut outside to Bolin and Asami. Korra, Tenzin, Lin, Zakai and Mako join them and they look at the incoming airships.

Korra: What do you want to do, Tenzin?

Tenzin: [Sighs.] I need to protect my family, and get them as far away from this conflict as possible. If Amon got his hands on my children ... I hate to even think of it.

Lin: If you're leaving, then I'm going with you.

Tenzin: But-

Lin: No arguments. You and your family are the last airbenders. There's no way in the world I'm letting Amon take your bending away.

Tenzin: Thank you, Lin. Korra, I want you to leave this island and hide for the time being.

Korra: [Determined.] I'm not giving up.

Tenzin: I'm not asking you to. I sent word to the United Forces. They will be here soon. And once my family is safe, I will return. With the reinforcements, we can turn the tide in this war.

Zakai: Live to fight another day.

As he sums up what Tenzin is saying.

Korra: What you're saying is, we need to be patient. [Sighs.]

Tenzin: [Puts his hand on Korra's shoulder.] You're learning well. [Korra brightens up. Cut to Korra embracing Tenzin, as he and his family prepare to leave.] Stay safe, Korra.

Korra: You too.

Lin: Tenzin, if we're leaving, we'd better do it now.

Tenzin: [Airbends himself onto Oogi.] Oogi, yip yip!

The sky bison fly away from the island, as Korra and the team look up at them. Two Equalist airships begin to chase them, as more airships invade the island. One airship shoots out a cable near the team and Equalists come down on the island. The White Lotus guards run in front of Korra and her friends and take their stances.

White Lotus sentry #1: Go! We'll hold them off!

Korra: [Leaps onto Naga.] Everyone, climb on! [Mako, Bolin and Asami hop onto Naga as Zakai is being carried from the by the jaws of Naga again as he shows a displeased look.] Let's go, girl!

Zakai: Next time... I get to ride up top.

Naga runs away as more Equalists come down and encircle the White Lotus sentries, spinning their bolas as they begin to fight. As Team Avatar runs away, Bolin looks up and points at the Lieutenant.

Bolin: Mustache guy!

Lieutenant slides down the slope and jumps off to attack them. Naga jumps up and uses her right paw to smack the Lieutenant off of the cliff face as they run past.

Korra: Nice one, Naga!

Zakai: It would be better if I wasn't covered in Drool.

As everyone looks at Zakai comical misfortune as drool was getting on his clothes and face as he groans from Naga as everyone smiles at him.

Naga runs to the pier and jumps into the water. Korra waterbends a large water bubble around them as Naga swims to safety as Zakai then floats a bit and grabs Naga's tail as it was a bit better then in front of her Mouth.


Meanwhile in the Sky

The camera pans up to show Republic City under siege. Cuts to Oogi trying to evade the Equalist airships, but they are coming closer to them.

Lin: [To Tenzin.] They're gaining on us!

Tenzin: [Cracks his reins.] Faster, Oogi!

Oogi speeds up, but an Equalist airship shoots out a large net at them. Lin metalbends her cables to break the net apart and wraps her cable around the rope. She stands and looks at the family with sorrow as they look at the airships in fear. She looks away before turning back at them.

Lin: Whatever happens to me, don't turn back!

Tenzin: [Turns his head to Lin.] Lin, what are you doing?!

Lin runs and jumps off Oogi, reeling herself up and landing on the airship. She takes her stance and rips off a large section of the airship's metal skin. There is an explosion and it begins to fall into the harbor below. Lin metalbends a panel to catapult herself to the other airship. She begins to rip apart the airship when Equalists come up behind her. They wrap their bolas wrapped around her body and feet, electrocuting her into unconsciousness. The last airship turns back as the family gazes at it in shock.

Meelo: That lady is my hero.

Tenzin: [Sadly.] Yes, she is.

Oogi then flies to safety.


Meanwhile back with Team Avatar

Cut to a large drainage pipe near the bay, where Korra and the team watch in dismay as Air Temple Island is raided. Mako places his hand on Korra's shoulder.

Mako: Korra, we should get moving.

As Zakai looks at them before closing his eyes in sadness and then Mako escorts Korra into the tunnel. Asami looks disdainfully as Zakai looks at Asami.

Zakai: Asami we need to go.

She then looks at Zakai as he gestured her to follow before she too, walks with them into the tunnel with Zakai look at Air Temple Island and in Disdain as he follows them into the Drain.


Meanwhile at Air Temple Island

Cut to an Equalist airship hovering over Air Temple Island, where it is raining. The camera pans down to a group of Equalists. Closer shot of Lin kneeling in front of Amon.

Amon: Tell me where the Avatar is and I'll let you keep your bending.

Lin: [Defiantly.] I won't tell you anything, you monster.

Amon: Very well. [Walks behind Lin. Dignified, Lin closes her eyes and Amon takes away her bending.]

Lin falls to the ground, unconscious.


Meanwhile with the United Forces Navel Fleet

Cut to Iroh, general of the United Forces, standing at the bow of a ship.

Messenger: General, I just received a wire from the Avatar. She says Amon and his forces have gained control of the city. How do you want to respond?

Iroh: Tell her we will be arriving in three days' time. And that I look forward to winning back Republic City, together.

Messenger: [Saluting.] As you wish, General Iroh. [Hurries away.]

The camera pans back to show the United Forces fleet.
