It was a cloudy day in Republic City.
Korra was asleep in her bed, with Mako sitting to the side watching over her.
Mako placed his hand on hers, unaware that Asami was at the door watching them before leaving with a sad expression.
Meanwhile, Tenzin entered his room, where Pema was sleeping with the children. He sat on the side of the bed and put his hand on his pregnant wife's belly.
Soon after, they woke up.
"Daddy, you're home. We waited up for you. Is Korra okay?" asked Jinora.
"Yes, she's fine, sweetie." said Tenzin before hugging his middle daughter.
"I was scared. I thought she wasn't coming back." said Ikki.
"I'm sorry you were scared, but everything is going to be fine now. I promise." said Tenzin.
Meanwhile, Littlefoot arrived in a room where the rest of the gang was gathered.
"How's Korra?" asked Ducky worriedly.
"She's fine. She's still resting." said Littlefoot.
"Good. Now can you explain us where you went?" asked Cera.
"Before I left that square with you, I met Naga. She told me she knew how to find Korra." said Littlefoot.
"And why didn't you warn us?" asked Chomper.
"I wanted to, but we didn't know the situation Korra was in and there was no time to waste. In fact, if Naga and I hadn't gotten to where she was, things might have gone worse." said Littlefoot.
"Me guess all well that ends well." said Petrie.
"What about you? What have you been up to?" asked Littlefoot.
"Well, first we managed to rescue Lin's agents who were captured by the Equalists, but after that we found out that it was Tarrlok who actually kidnapped Korra and not the Equalists like he told us happened." said Ruby.
"Not only that. But it turns out that Tarrlok was a bloodbender." said Cera.
"Bloodbender?" asked Littlefoot.
"It's a horrible bending technique. He made our bodies stop and move the way he wanted them to." said Ducky as Spike groaned in fear.
"It horrible. Me never wanna experience that again." said Petrie.
"I see." commented Littlefoot frightened at the thought of such a bender and thankful he didn't meet him along the way.
Later, Team Avatar Dinosaur, Tenzin, Pema, and Lin were in the dining hall, where Korra was gorging herself on food.
"Hihi. She's eating like Spike usually does. Yep, yep, yep." commented Ducky.
"Mmm. Mmm. The food tastes amazing, Pema. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again." said Korra.
"We're so thankful you're home safe." said Pema.
"The one you should be thanking is this little longneck. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here." said Korra stroking the head of the longneck next to her.
"It wasn't just me. It was Naga who led me to you." said Littlefoot.
"I'm still very grateful to you." said Korra with a smile.
"She's right. You were very brave for going and save her all by yourself." said Pema getting up to pick up the dishes.
"Let me help." Asami said getting up to help the pregnant woman.
"Korra, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened." said Tenzin.
"Well, first off, Tarrlok isn't who he says he is. He's Yakone's son." said Korra revealing her discovery, leaving the two adults dumbfounded.
"Who is Yakone?" asked Ducky.
"One of the biggest crime bosses there was in Republic City. He always managed to escape the law, but in the end, Aang, Toph and Sokka managed to catch him and convict him, but before he could be locked up, he escaped by using bloodbending to take them all down. Fortunately, my father managed to catch him in time and snatched his bending power from him." said Tenzin telling the story of the former bloodbender.
"Did you not know that Tarrlok was the son of that man?" asked Ruby.
"These aren't things you usually ask people. Besides he fooled us all pretty well." said Tenzin.
"And how did you know that?" asked Chomper to the Avatar.
"Aang told me." said Korra.
"What? You were able to talk to my father?" asked Tenzin in surprise.
"Well, not exactly. I heeded your advice about meditating on the visions I've been having and that's what I found out." said Korra recounting what she did during her imprisonment.
"Anyway, that would explain how Tarrlok was able to bloodbend us without a full moon." said Lin.
"But how did you escape? And where's Tarrlok?" asked Tenzin.
"Yes, I wanna give him a lesson for what he did to us." said Cera.
"Amon captured him, and took his bending." said Korra revealing the fate of the waterbender councilman.
That surprised everyone present.
"Well, at least he no longer bloodbender." commented Petrie trying to see the good point of that.
"What?" asked Tenzin surprised by the revelation.
"Yeah, he showed up out of nowhere. He almost got me, too." said Korra.
"Then it was a good thing Naga and I got there in time." said Littlefoot.
"This is very disturbing news. Amon is becoming emboldened. Taking out a councilman, almost capturing the Avatar… I fear Amon is entering his endgame." said Tenzin, making the members of Team Avatar Dinosaur nervous, as that meant a big battle was coming soon.
Soon after, Asami was in the kitchen helping Pema in cleaning cutlery.
"AGH!" groaned Pema in pain.
"Pema, are you all right?" asked Asami with concern.
"The baby is… just kicking, really hard, is all. I'm fine." said Pema.
"Should I get Tenzin?" asked Asami.
"No reason to worry him, it's nothing." said Pema.
At that moment, Mako came into the kitchen with a teapot.
"Can I get some hot water? Korra needs more tea." said Mako.
"You're a firebender. Boil it yourself." said Asami reluctantly, confusing the firebender.
Pema turned her gaze to both teens and immediately understood what was going on.
"I'm... gonna step out in case you two wanna talk." said Pema leaving the kitchen with an 'Ow!' expression.
"Is there something we need to talk about?" asked Mako with confusion.
"I've noticed how you treat Korra. How you acted when she was missing. You have feelings for her, don't you?" asked Asami with a frown.
"What? No! She was taken by a crazy bloodbender! How did you expect me to act?" asked Mako.
"I like Korra. But you've been keeping the truth from me this whole time." said Asami.
"The truth? About what?" asked Mako still confused.
"You're really going to make me say it?" asked Asami.
"Yes! Because I don't know what you're talking about!" said Mako eagerly to know the reason for the conversation.
"The kiss, Mako. I know." said Asami, to the firebender's surprise.
"I… Well I… Bolin told you, didn't he?!" asked Mako.
"Don't blame your brother or the kids for what you did." said Asami.
"Wait, they knew too?" asked Mako with small surprise.
"Don't change the subject. Do you have feelings for Korra or not?" asked Asami.
"Look, things are crazy right now. Can we deal with our relationship problems later?" asked Mako wanting to leave that topic for another time.
"Well there might not be any relationship to worry about later." said Asami coming out of the kitchen very angry.
"Asami!" said Mako before lowering his head in disappointment for not knowing how to sort out his feelings.
Later, Tenzin was outside, planning to leave when he stopped to talk to Lin, who was behind him.
"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,..." began Tenzin not knowing how to ask such a favor of his old friend.
"Spit it out already!" said Lin wanting to know what that favor will be.
"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." said Tenzin.
"Of course I'll help, old friend." said Lin with a smile and putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I didn't realize you two were out here." said Pema arriving on the scene with Meelo sleeping in her arms.
"Pema! Y-y-yes, Lin has agreed to help out around here and keep an eye on things while I'm away." said Tenzin.
"Thank you! I could use the extra pair of hands." said Pema just as Meelo woke up and passed him to Lin. "Would you mind giving him a bath? He's filthy."
Tenzin and Pema each went their separate ways, leaving poor Lin with Meelo.
"This is not what I signed on for!" exclaimed Lin.
"Thank you, Lin! Oogi, yip yip." said Tenzin slapping the reins of the flying bison, sending it flying off toward the city.
Lin stared in disgust at the child she would have to babysit.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the city, the councilwoman was getting ready to go to the meeting while her husband was reading the newspaper.
"Do you know where my keys are? I can't find them anywhere!" said the councilwoman.
"No, dear." said the husband without taking his eyes off the newspaper as the councilwoman went through her purse.
"Oh, found them!" said the councilwoman happy to have found them.
"Good, dear." said the husband without emotion.
"Don't wait up for me; this council session will probably go late into the night." said the councilwoman putting her keys away.
It was at that moment that someone knocked on the door.
"The door, dear." said the husband without looking away from the newspaper yet.
The councilwoman opened the door, only to find the lieutenant with another Equalist soldier, but they were without their suits, so she wasn't able to identify them.
"We're here to fix a spider-rat problem." said the disguised lieutenant showing an extermination device.
"But I didn't call an exterminator." said the councilwoman.
Suddenly, the lieutenant pointed the device at her, giving her an electric shock that knocked her down before the two equals entered the house.
"Dear?" asked the husband without realizing what was happening.
Meanwhile, Oogi flew up to the roof of the city hall. Tenzin headed for the door, ignoring the cleaners who were cleaning the glass of the building's dome.
Suddenly, Tenzin felt a tingle that made him duck in time to dodge an incoming electric whip disc before leaping to the side to dodge two others.
As it turned out, those cleaners were equalists who lunged to attack Tenzin.
The airbender threw an air disc at them, but then two cleaners threw ropes that wrapped around his wrists and pulled on them to immobilize him. The third cleaner jumped to kick him in the head, but Tenzin jumped to the side to dodge it.
The cleaner landed on the ground and tried to attack him again, but Tenzin dodged all of his attacks while the other two tried to immobilize him by pulling on the ropes binding his hands.
In the end, Tenzin rose up spinning in circles on a tornado that hit the cleaner while dragging the other two with it. With the wind from the tornado, he knocked one down while the other two lost their grip on the rope and flew off onto the roof of another building.
Just as Tenzin landed, undoing the tornado in the process, the council messenger arrived on the scene.
"Ah, I'm so relieved to see you!" said the council messenger approaching the airbender.
"The other council members. Are they all right?" asked Tenzin.
"I'm afraid not! I just received a call from Chief Saikhan. They've all been captured!" said the council messenger, leaving the airbender aghast.
"This can't be happening." said Tenzin in horror.
"The leadership of Republic City is in your hands now." said the council messenger.
Tenzin was left pondering the situation he was in when suddenly explosions began to sound throughout the city.
Flying through the air were several Equalist airships.
"It is a tragic day indeed!" said the council messenger in horror and despair.
On the island, Lin and the young airbenders also saw the explosions and enemy airships in the city.
"All right, kids, time to go inside." said Lin.
As Jinora and her siblings returned inside the temple, Team Avatar Dinosaur came running to the scene.
"We heard explosions, what's going on?" asked Korra.
"Republic City is under attack." said Lin, causing the team to gasp in horror.
"Oh, no. Tenzin is still out there." said Chomper.
"We have to go help him." said Ruby.
"No, kids. You have to stay here." said Korra.
"There's no way I'm staying here while there's trouble." said Cera.
"This isn't just a battle. This is a war. You aren't prepared for such a thing." said Lin.
"Maybe not. But like we told Korra, even if this isn't our world, we won't let Amon destroy yours." said Littlefoot.
"We like Republic City very much and we will fight to protect it. Yep, yep, yep." said Ducky as Spike snorted as a sign that he wanted to fight.
"That why we train so hard." said Petrie.
"It won't be easy. It looks like the Equalists are more armed than ever and we may run into some mecha tanks." said Mako.
"We've faced those things before. We know how to fight them." said Cera.
"Will you be all right, Asami? After all, your father will be participating in this war, just on the bad side of this war he'll be participating." said Ruby.
"I am. Don't worry." said Asami with determination, even though she might get to face her father.
"Spike, Petrie and I will be in charge of guarding the island in case of an attack by the Equalists." said Ducky.
Spike nodded in agreement.
"Me airbender. Tenzin's family be like me family and me protect them." said Petrie.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Korra still a little worried that her dinosaur friends would be involved in that war.
"We are, Korra. We'll all fight together." said Littlefoot with a smile that the Avatar returned.
"Okay. Team Avatar Dinosaur, let's go!" shouted Bolin pointing at the city with a smile.
Meanwhile, on an Equalist airship, Hiroshi Sato was looking at an old photo of his family with nostalgia and regret, as he still felt hurt at having to fight his own daughter.
He put the photo away and stood next to Amon.
"I've dreamed of this day for so long." said Hiroshi looking out the window of the airship with the masked man.
"Yes, the time has come for the Equalists to claim Republic City as their own." said Amon.
While the city was still under enemy attack, a ship carrying Korra, Mako, Bolin, Asami, Littlefoot, Cera, Chomper and Ruby arrived at the port and they quickly disembarked.
"Where did you say you parked the car?" asked Asami looking for Team Avatar Dinosaur's vehicle at the same time as the others.
"It's right around here somewhere." said Korra before looking to the side to find what they were looking for. "There it is." said Korra pointing in that direction where they saw the team vehicle that had crashed into a stop pole, along with several traffic tickets.
"What a way to park." said Cera sarcastically as she and the others reached the vehicle.
"Hey, you guys got arrested and left me alone with the car! I made it very clear I don't know how to drive." said Korra trying to defend herself from her little car accident.
"Remind me to give you driving lessons when this is all over." commented Asami.
"I will." said Korra.
"All things considered you did a great job!" said Bolin before grabbing the tickets from the vehicle. "But how are we going to pay for all these parking tickets?"
His answer came as Mako took the fines and burned them with his firebending.
"I don't think we should worry about them when they're attacking the city, so we shouldn't worry about them." said Ruby.
Asami opened the rear trunk to take out her electrified glove and put on.
"This'll come in handy." said Asami before sitting in the driver's seat.
Mako was about to sit in the front passenger seat when...
"Why don't you sit in back? With Korra." asked Asami grudgingly.
"I think I will." said Mako with a frown.
Needless to say, Korra was worried about how Mako and Asami's relationship was going.
Mako sat next to her with the rest of the gang while Bolin sat in the passenger seat.
"Everything all right?" asked Korra with concern.
"Yeah, everything is terrific." said Mako sarcastically.
Asami reversed the vehicle before steering it forward down the road.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Saikhan was coordinating the situation.
"Chief! Air unit seven was just taken out by an Equalist airship. They've crashed into the harbor!" said a member of the communications team.
"Send a river rescue unit." ordered Saikhan.
"Chief, all the river rescue ships have been sabotaged!" reported another member of the communications team.
"What?" asked Saikhan surprised at how the situation was getting worse.
Just then, Tenzin entered the room and addressed the police chief.
"Chief Saikhan." said Tenzin catching the police chief's attention.
"Tenzin, am I glad to see you. I was afraid you'd been captured too." said Saikhan.
"I'm the only Council member left. What's the status?" asked Tenzin.
"Amon has launched simultaneous attacks across the boroughs. The police are trying to regain control but we're spread too thin." said Saikhan.
Tenzin stroked his beard as he thought of a solution.
"I need to send a wire." said Tenzin.
"To whom, Councilman?" asked the first member of the communications team.
"The general of the United Forces." said Tenzin seeing that there was no solution but to ask him for help.
In the corridors of the police station, the policemen were running from one side to the other when, suddenly, smoke came out of the vents and began to cover the corridors. The policemen began to cough from the smoke before falling unconscious on the floor.
"Councilman, your wire has been sent." said the first member of the communications team.
"Chief, the phone lines just went dead!" said the second member of the communications team, to the surprise and horror of the police chief and the airbender.
Suddenly, the police station alarm began to sound before the lights and alarm went off, leaving the room in darkness.
Saikhan grabbed a pair of flashlights.
"Catch." said Saikhan tossing the other flashlight to Tenzin and turning them on to give the place some light.
That's when the same smoke from before started pouring out of the vent.
"Saikhan, the vents." warned Tenzin before the police chief quickly used metalbending to close the vent, though there was still a bit of smoke in the room, so there were a couple of coughs.
Tenzin turned around to shine the flashlight on the door, only to find that smoke was coming in from the bottom.
"We need to evacuate immediately. Everyone stay close to me." said Tenzin.
Outside the room, Tenzin was leading the group out of the room through the smoke-filled corridors while creating a dome of air to protect them.
They finally made it out of the commissary, but when Tenzin undid the air dome, he and the others gasped in horror as they found themselves surrounded by several mecha tanks, with three of them carrying some sort of platform in their right hands.
"Not these mecha tanks again!" exclaimed Tenzin in frustration.
The mecha tanks holding the platform raised the arms that held them and suddenly the policemen were drawn to them, signaling that they were some sort of magnet.
Tenzin quickly created a rope of air with which he grabbed Saikhan before he reached the magnet and they began a tug-of-war game between the magnet and the airbender.
But unfortunately, the magnet's strength was superior to Tenzin's and he ended up unraveling the air rope, causing Saikhan to be pulled towards the magnet.
The mecha tanks that trapped the policemen put them into a van and Tenzin got into position to fight the other mecha tanks.
One of them launched a grappling claw, but Tenzin neutralized it with an air bullet before launching a pair at the mecha tank, managing to push it back. Two other mecha tanks launched their grappling claws, but Tenzin blocked them with airbending as the commissary officers retreated.
One mecha tank advanced toward Tenzin and tried to strike him, but the airbender jumped to dodge it. However, the mecha tank took advantage of that to throw a grappling claw at him that grabbed him and pushed him to crash into the wall and drop him to the ground, but he was able to cushion his fall with airbending before he fell to the ground.
He raised his head and groaned slightly as he watched the van holding the cops drive away.
"Saikhan, no!" groaned Tenzin.
He then turned his gaze to one side to see a police blimp being shot down before turning his gaze to another side to see a group of Equalist soldiers emerge from another van to capture the officers with their bolas.
Tenzin felt desperate as he had no more strength to fight, they had captured and shot down the entire police force in the city and the Equalists were slowly winning.
Before he fell into unconsciousness, he saw in a blur as the mecha tanks approached him.
Soon after, Team Avatar Dinosaur vehicle was speeding through the streets until it reached city hall.
In the middle of the drive, Bolin created a pair of ramps for the vehicle.
"Jump!" shouted Asami as they all exited the vehicle which used the ramps to launch itself toward the battlefield, knocking over a pair of mecha tanks in the process.
Team Avatar Dinosaur launched themselves into battle against the remaining mecha tanks advancing towards them.
One mecha tank threw its grappling claw at Mako and grabbed him, shocking him with electricity in the process, causing him to groan in pain, but Mako endured the pain, grabbed the rope, and used lightning generation to absorb the electricity and throw him back at the mecha tank, disconnecting it in the process.
Bolin erected a block of earth beneath him which he used to dodge a grappling claw from another mecha tank before creating a huge block of earth which he threw at it, knocking it down in the process.
Korra grabbed the surrounding snow to create two water whips as she advanced towards the mecha tank that threw its grappling claw at her, but Korra dodged it with a leap as she continued to charge towards it. Using the ramp Bolin created earlier, she jumped over the mecha tank and while in the air, she introduced water into its exhaust pipes, causing it to short-circuit and then, slammed her fist into the ground and used earthbending to erect several earth platforms underneath the mecha tank that knocked it down.
Littlefoot ducked to the side to dodge a blow from the mecha tank and then created on the tip of his tail a whip of fire with which he began to strike the mecha tank, knocking it back with each blow. Littlefoot continued to strike with the whip until, following a trick of Doc's, he rolled the whip between the mecha tank's legs and with a strong tug, caused it to stumble and fall backwards.
Cera created a wall of earth that blocked a grappling claw and then hurled it toward the mecha tank which recoiled in the process. She then caused the ground beneath one of the mecha tank's feet to slide to the side, causing it to stumble, which it used to create a stalagmite, lift it up and hurl it towards the mecha tank, driving it into its body before it fell to the ground.
Chomper threw several fireballs at the mecha tank advancing towards him, but they didn't work. The mecha tank tried to hit it, but Chomper stepped aside before launching such a at the cockpit through its mouth powerful flare that the mecha tank had to back up. Quickly, Chomper swung his arms in a circular position before pointing his right arm at the mecha tank, launching a lightning at it, disabling it in the process.
Ruby used waterbending to turn all the snow around her into water to create several icicles of ice to throw at the mech tank, but they all shattered on impact before the mech tank threw a grappling claw at her, but Ruby dodged to the side to dodge it. Next, Ruby used waterbending to throw a huge drop of water at it, which froze shortly after, encasing the mecha tank in ice.
A pair of Equalist soldiers were carrying Tenzin, who was still unconscious to the van when the first one received an electric shock from Asami. Several Equalist soldiers rushed forward to fight her, but Asami proved agile enough to engage each of them and knock them down with her electrified glove.
"Ugh. Thank you." said Tenzin having woken up from his unconscious state before launching himself into battle.
Mako and Littlefoot were engaging the last mecha tank, throwing fireballs at it while dodging its blows. The mecha tank threw its grappling claw at the incoming airbender, but he dodged it before getting underneath the mecha tank and throwing a blast of wind at it so hard that it sent it flying into the roof of a building.
The entire battle was being watched by Hiroshi through a telescope.
"Tenzin has escaped once again. I can't stand to see Asami fighting alongside those benders and those filthy creatures." said Hiroshi to the masked one.
"We'll capture them before long and you will have your daughter back." said Amon.
Back on the ground, Team Avatar Dinosaur managed to take down all the enemies.
"Are you all right?" asked Korra to Tenzin.
"I'm fine. Thank you, kids. Another moment later and I would have been on my way to Amon." said Tenzin.
"We weren't going to leave you in the hands of those guys." said Littlefoot.
"Uh, guys… look." said Mako pointing to the horizon, where they could see an Equalist airship approaching Air Temple Island, much to the Airbender's horror.
"Oh no." said Tenzin in horror.
"Ducky and the others are there!" said Chomper.
"And Tenzin's family too!" said Ruby.
"We have to get back as soon as possible! Quickly!" said Korra before they all ran with all their might to get back to the island and save Tenzin's family before it was too late.
The entrance ramp of the island's airship opened to reveal the lieutenant along with several Equalist soldiers. Suddenly, the airship fired a grappling rope that snagged on the floor of the island and the soldiers used it to lower themselves down.
The White Lotus sentries saw that and rushed forward while Lin, Ducky, Petrie, Spike and Tenzin's family also watched from another side of the island.
"Everyone, hide inside and remain calm." said Lin.
Suddenly, Pema started screaming in pain.
"Uh... Me think that not be remaining calm." said Petrie.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" asked Ikki with concern.
"The baby's coming!" cried Pema to the great surprise of everyone present, as that was neither the time nor the place for such a thing.
"Oh, no!" said Jinora.
"Not now, baby!" said Meelo.
"This isn't the time to break the shell! No, no, no!" said Ducky remembering the explanation they were given when they asked about Pema's pregnancy.
Two air acolytes quickly took Pema to a room so she could rest, leaving the children, the dinosaurs, and the former police chief behind.
The White Lotus sentries stood at the top of some stairs as the Equalist soldiers rushed toward them. As they climbed up the stairs, the sentries proceeded to launch water, earth, and fire attacks at them, but suddenly, a grappling rope from another airship crashed in the middle of the stairs, down it came more Equalist soldiers and among those who came down, was the lieutenant.
Lin, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike stood in the middle of the square, patiently waiting for the enemy.
"I thought I told you to hide." said Lin to the dinosaurs.
"I'm sorry, but there's a baby on the way now and we won't stand back while they attack the island. No, no, no." said Ducky.
"We consider this place our home too and we defend it." said Petrie.
Spike nodded before shuffling his feet on the ground.
"Hmm. I guess I should have expected that from you." said Lin with a small smile.
There was an ominous silence for a few more seconds until they saw the lieutenant arrive with several Equalist soldiers.
Quickly, Lin threw two metal ropes that grabbed two Equalist soldiers and then slammed them into each other before tossing them aside.
One soldier tried to attack it, but Spike stepped forward and erected an earth block that hit it before erecting another block from the first block to send it backwards. He then created two blocks of earth which he threw at a pair of incoming soldiers, knocking them down in the process.
Ducky threw a drop of water at a soldier's head which he froze shortly after, encasing it in ice. She then created a water whip with which she grabbed the soldier by the leg and threw him at another incoming soldier, knocking them both down before striking another soldier with the whip.
Several soldiers lunged towards Petrie, but he passed between them like a leaf in the wind and when he got behind them, he threw a stream of air at them that knocked one down and before the others reacted, Petrie launched, with a flap of wings, a pair of wind waves that hit them and knocked them down.
Lin entangled one soldier with her metal rope before throwing him at another soldier. She then erected a block of earth from the ground to strike another and, with a groan of effort, slammed her palm into the ground, erecting three blocks of earth that struck three soldiers.
While the fighting was going on, Pema was in a bed being tended to by two elderly air acolytes.
"The children, where are they?" asked Pema with concern.
"Don't worry. They're in the other room, totally safe." said an elderly air acolyte woman.
Lin threw two metal ropes at the lieutenant which he wrapped around his electrified sticks before shooting an electric shock through the ropes which hit Lin, making her scream in pain before falling to her knees.
The lieutenant advanced a couple of steps before the three dinosaurs stepped in front of him.
"Pick on one of your own kind, bully!" said Ducky preparing to fight along with the others.
The lieutenant smiled at the failed attempt to intimidate him and readied his sticks to strike.
"Stay away from my dad's ex-girlfriend!" said Jinora flying to the stage with her glider before landing on the ground and throwing a wind wave with her staff that launched the lieutenant across the building.
"Jinora! You shouldn't be out here!" said Lin.
At that moment, Ikki appeared on a large air scooter with which she knocked down a couple of soldiers.
"Get off our island!" demanded Ikki as she hit more soldiers with her air scooter which she undid before standing next to the former police chief and her older sister.
"Girls! You need to go back inside this instant!" said Lin having stood up and getting ready to fight.
A couple of soldiers prepared to fight, but then...
"Taste my fury!" shouted Meelo launching himself at them from above and hitting a soldier with a blast of wind from his butt.
"Meelo! Be careful!" shouted Lin worriedly at the young airbender, but Meelo was able to knock down several soldiers with powerful gusts of wind before creating around him a wind sphere which he blew up to hit two incoming soldiers. "Never mind." said Lin defeatedly.
"Well done, guys. You have been great. Yep, yep, yep." said Ducky.
Spike took to licking Jinora as a sign of thanks, making her giggle.
"Haha. That's enough, Spike." said Jinora before pushing the spiketail away. "We weren't going to stand still in front of these invaders."
"Besides, if you can go and fight, so can we." said Ikki.
"We're small, but we're bullies." said Meelo pulling muscle (which he didn't have) with his arms.
"You take words out of me mouth." said Petrie with a small laugh.
Later, the group were with the White Lotus sentries and in front of them were the bound and defeated soldiers.
"Take these Equalists and lock them in the temple's basement! Nice work, kids." began Lin congratulating the young airbenders when they heard the growl of a flying bison.
"Dad!" exclaimed Jinora happy to see her father and running to where he was going to land with her siblings behind.
Oogi landed in the middle of the spot and the rest of Team Avatar Dinosaur and Tenzin got off him, with the airbender hugging his children soon after.
"Oh, thank goodness you're all right!" said Tenzin thankful that his children were safe and sound.
"We caught the bad guys." said Meelo who stood over his father's head.
"You let them fight? Do you realize what could have happened?" asked Tenzin angrily to his old friend.
"Hey, if it hadn't been for them, we wouldn't tell. No, no, no." said Ducky.
"Your children very strong." said Petrie.
Spike nodded in agreement.
"You should be proud. You taught them well." said Lin with her arms crossed.
Tenzin glanced at his three children, feeling quite proud of how strong and skilled they had become.
"Go on, be with your wife." said Lin as Tenzin and his children went inside the temple.
"Why? Has something happened with Pema?" asked Korra curiously.
"Oh, it's just that the baby is coming." said Ducky.
"What?!" asked the rest of Team Avatar Dinosaur in shock.
"Really? Well, what a time to have another baby." commented Cera.
Inside the temple, Tenzin was walking quietly when suddenly he heard a baby crying, causing him to start running with extreme concern.
"Pema!" said Tenzin worried for his wife.
Soon after, he arrived in the room where she was resting and a smile of pure happiness graced her face when she saw her fourth child in her arms.
"Tenzin." said Pema looking at her husband who sat next to her as she continued to look at the baby in her arms.
"I'm here, Pema." said Tenzin.
"Our new son." said Pema before passing the baby to Tenzin who stroked the baby's chin, making him open his eyes and look at him.
"Hello." said Tenzin greeting his new son.
At that moment, Jinora and her siblings peeked through the door, which their parents noticed.
"Come, meet your new brother." said Tenzin.
"A brother? Well it's about time!" commented Meelo as he and his sisters entered the room and walked over to see their baby brother.
"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." Ikki said to the baby who smiled as he looked at his older siblings.
"What're you gonna name him? Can I pick?" asked Jinora to her parents.
"We already chose a name." said Pema as she and her husband shared glances.
"Rohan." said Tenzin with a joyful smile.
The whole scene was being watched by Lin, Korra, Mako and the gang, who were smiling at the family reunion.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt." began Korra getting the family's attention. "But more airships are coming." said Korra to the family's concern.
"Everything's not gonna be fine, is it, Daddy?" asked Ikki.
Tenzin took a look at his children, his wife and his newborn son and came to a tough decision. All to protect them all.
Outside the temple, Tenzin, Lin, and the rest of the team met up with Bolin and Asami who were contemplating something in the sky, which was a pair of equalist airships heading for the island.
"This is bad. With two ships full of Equalists we've had enough, but we don't know if we can handle another two." said Ruby.
"What do you want to do, Tenzin?" asked Korra.
"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." said Tenzin.
"If you're leaving, then I'm going with you." said Lin.
"But..." began Tenzin trying to deny the former police chief's offer.
"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." said Lin with firm decision.
"Thank you, Lin." said Tenzin before focusing on the Avatar. "Korra, I want you to leave this island and hide for the time being."
"I'm not giving up!" said Korra indignantly at the airbender's request.
"We will fight to the end." said Littlefoot.
"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." said Tenzin explaining his intentions.
"What you're saying is, we need to be patient." said Korra.
"You're learning well." said Tenzin with a small smile which Korra returned.
Later, Team Avatar Dinosaur stood in front of a pair of flying bison, Tenzin and Lin's family standing atop one of them as the airbender bade them farewell.
Korra gave her airbending master one last hug.
"Stay safe, Korra." said Tenzin with his hands on the Avatar's shoulders before turning his gaze to the gang. "You stay safe too, children."
"We will, Tenzin." said Littlefoot.
"You too." said Korra.
"Tenzin, if we're leaving, we'd better do it now." said Lin before Tenzin climbed on top of Oogi.
"Oogi, yip yip." said Tenzin causing the flying bison to take flight along with the other flying bison.
Team Avatar Dinosaur stood and watched as the flying bison flew away, but unfortunately, the equalist blimps had also arrived and began to chase them as a third blimp stopped over the island before firing a grappling rope that snagged right where the team was standing.
Down the rope came a pair of Equalist soldiers, but White Lotus sentries stood between them and the team.
"Go! We'll hold them off!" said one of the sentries.
"Everyone, climb on!" said Korra as she and the rest of the humans on the team climbed on top of Naga. "Let's go, girl!" said Korra as the polar bear dog bolted away from the site with the gang at her side, leaving the sentries behind who were completely surrounded by the Equalist soldiers.
As Naga and the gang ran down the mountain, Bolin spotted something worrisome.
"Mustache guy!" exclaimed Bolin pointing to a spot where they saw the lieutenant sliding down the mountainside and jumping towards them.
"Leave him to me!" said Cera before using earthbending to propel herself towards him and hit him with her head, sending him to the beach below.
"Nice hit, Cera!" said Korra congratulating the threehorn.
"Thanks, I've been wanting to do that to him for a long time!" said Cera.
After that, Naga and the gang jumped into the water and Korra created around everyone an air bubble that would allow them to breathe as they swam away from the island, straight to the city.
Meanwhile, Oogi was flying as fast as he could with the intention of getting away from the pursuing blimps, but the blimps were going even faster than he was.
"They're gaining on us!" reported Lin.
"Faster, Oogi!" said Tenzin slapping the reins of the bison which sped up the flight.
Suddenly, one of the airships shot out a retractable net, but Lin destroyed it with a metal rope before tangling her rope with that of the net and standing up.
Lin looked at the family who looked worriedly at the scene in front of them. Then Lin changed her worried expression to one of pure determination.
"Whatever happens to me, don't turn back!" said Lin.
"Lin, what are you doing?!" asked Tenzin turning his head to look at her with a frown, not liking what she was proposing.
Lin ran across Oogi's back before jumping off of him and using the metal rope to swing and launch herself onto the airship's roof. She then used metalbending to shatter the metal roof of the airship, causing an explosion that caused it to fall.
She then used metalbending to launch herself at the other airship and proceed to do the same to it, but in the process, a boleadora wrapped itself around her and her legs, causing her to fall before suffering an electric shock that knocked her unconscious.
It was then, when the remaining airship turned around and retreated, a thing that was seen by Tenzin and his family, who looked shocked by the sacrifice of the former police chief.
"That lady is my hero." said Meelo.
"Yes, she is." said Tenzin regretfully.
Thanks to what Lin did, Oogi was able to get much further away from the area.
At the entrance to the city sewer, Team Avatar Dinosaur stood watching sadly as the Equalists took over Air Temple Island.
Mako put his hand on the Avatar's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.
"Korra, we should get moving." said Littlefoot before the team went into the tunnel, with Mako having his arm around Korra, which annoyed Asami.
That night, while it was raining on the island occupied by the Equalists, Lin was forced to kneel on the ground and when she raised her head, she saw in front of her Amon, the lieutenant and several Equalist soldiers.
"Tell me where the Avatar is and I'll let you keep your bending." said Amon offering a way out.
"I won't tell you anything, you monster." said Lin.
"Very well." said Amon before standing behind Lin, who closed her eyes, preparing herself for what was coming, and placing his left hand on the back of her neck and his right hand on her forehead, thus snatching her bending powers from her.
After that, Lin fell unconscious to the ground.
The next morning, a man was on a boat looking at the horizon.
Shortly thereafter, another man approached him from behind.
"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?" the man asked.
"Tell her we will be arriving in three days' time. And that I look forward to winning back Republic City, together." said the first man.
"As you wish, General Iroh." said the second man with a military salute before walking away.
The camera zoomed out, showing, not only the ship General Iroh II was on, but also many other ships nearby, heading for Republic City to help Team Avatar Dinosaur and take on Amon.
