Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Before anything else, I just want to say as of this moment canon has officially been thrown out the window! There will be major changes happening from this point onward. Now then, here we'll be seeing how bad things have gotten in Republic City, where Tenzin, his family, and the Krew have gone, where Naruto, Korra, and Jinora are, and getting a look at what Azula's plan is along with a new(?) enemy. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Lin scowled as she looked over several reports of destruction, fighting, and riots happening all over Republic City. Unable to believe how fast things have spiraled out of control.
Three days have passed since the attack on the Pro-Bending Arena by the Equalists, now known as the Erasers, along with the appearance of Carnage. Along with the entire city now knowing who was in the suit, with the situation worsening at the fact the Avatar not only knew who Carnage was, but was dating him as well.
She had already gotten word from Tenzin that Korra and Naruto were out of Republic City, and as much as the police chief wanted to put that kid in the deepest, darkest cell she could find. She had to admit, it was probably a smart move for them to leave. Even more so, with Tenzin getting his family and the Avatar's friends to one of the Air Temples, given what happened the next day.
The newly named Erasers had begun openly attacking benders and even non-benders in the street, destroying anything and everything to do with bending or anyone who sides with benders. With her officers doing the best they could against them, but had some difficultly facing those with electrified weapons, turning their armor and cables against them.
With it only getting worse, when Hiroshi Sato unveiled his newest weapon, the Mecha Tanks. Large, mechanized suits that are outfitted with various weapons, with them being even more dangerous by being made of pure platinum.
A metal so pure and devoid of earth fragments, that not even her mother could hope to bend it. Luckily, they were able to find a few weaknesses in them, with Waterbenders being able to pour water into the pipes to stall the tanks, while Earthbenders were able to knock them off balance. And while they couldn't bend them, with enough pressure, they could punch through the armor into the cockpits.
Even so, things were still getting worse, even more so with the Triple Threat Triad and Red Monsoons now fighting over the territory of the Agni Kai Triad. The third Bending Gang having mysteriously vanished during the attack at the arena.
So, in short, Lin had to deal with Bending Gangs, the Erasers, and running the city's militia. All while making sure she didn't spread her officers to thin.
"Chief, we just got another report, the Red Monsoons and Triple Threat Triads have begun fighting down in the Dragon Flats borough!" Said an officer, rushing up to Lin.
"Send a team of officers there, now! Capture as many of them as you can!" Lin ordered, with the officer saluting, before going to get a team together.
'Tenzin, you better send help soon.' Lin thought, knowing they needed to get help fast, before this civil war began spreading outside of Republic City.
*City Hall*
Meanwhile, outside City Hall, a crowd of Erasers and their supporters had gathered outside on the steps, after they had managed to take over the building. With Neji standing at the front on a wooden stage, with several people lined up, bound and gagged with nooses around their necks.
"Take a good look at these people, traitors to their own kind! These people who still choose to support the Avatar, even after learning she was helping that monster, Carnage! And those who supported Avatar Aang, when he did nothing to help make things better for non-benders! All of them are traitors and they'll die, like traitors!" Neji declared, making the Erasers and supporters cheer, glad to see such people being punished for refusing to join them to get rid of benders.
"Wait! Wait sir please! Those two, those are parents!" Someone said, running to the front of the crowd and pointing at two elderly people.
Neji immediately narrowing his eyes at the person, recognizing them as a protester, who's been around since before the Equalist movement began under Amon. Personally, Neji found him to be an annoyance that leeched off the Equalists, and now the Erasers. Only wanting to be the center of attention, while using them and the Anti-Bending mentality as a means to get it. The Eraser leader now seeing his chance to not only deal with the traitors, but the annoying leech as well.
"Your parents have been dedicated supporters of Avatar Aang, since he was still alive. They've betrayed their own people by supporting benders!" Said Neji, while pointing his pike at them.
"Th-they're just confused, sir! Please, give them time and they'll join us!" The protester said, not wanting his parents to die, even if he didn't like that they supported the Avatar.
"So you're saying you support their beliefs and support the Avatar as well?!" Neji demanded, while aiming his pike at the man, who paled in fear.
"Wh-what?! N-n-no, I-I w-wo-would n-ne-never support benders! Or the A-Av-Avatar!" Stuttered the protester.
"Then you won't say anything else and let them die!" Said Neji, before going over and pulling the lever, causing the platform beneath the people to drop out, as they fell down before the ropes caught them as their swung limply in the air.
"NO!" Screamed the protester in horror at watching his parents die.
"Seize the traitor! If he chooses to mourn the deaths of those who support the Avatar, he can die along with them! The same goes for anyone that dares try to defend people like them!" Neji said, while pointing at the swinging bodies, as the protester tried running only to be grabbed by two Erasers.
"N-no pl-please! I-I'm n-no-not a tr-tra-traitor!" The protester begged as he was forced onto his knees.
"You've already shown yourself as one by daring to speak in the defense of those that support benders and the Avatar. And like them and all the rest, you will die." Said Neji, while taking aim at the protester with his pike.
"NO, PLEASE! Someone please help me, I'll do anything! Help me Avatar-" The protester cried out for someone to save him, even begging for the Avatar to save him, only to be silenced when Neji threw his pike straight through his chest.
Jumping off the stage, Neji grabbed his pike and looked into the protester's eyes. Having purposely missing anything vital, to avoid giving him a quick and painless death.
"Fun isn't something one considers, when cleansing the world. But this…" Neji said, while smirking as he ripped his pike out and let the protesters body hit the floor.
"…does put a smile on my face." Said Neji, pleased at dealing with the traitors and with the annoyance.
*Northern Water Tribe*
Within his office in the Northern Water Tribe, Unalaq thought over everything he's learned.
Not only was a civil war currently raging on in Republic City, but his niece, the Avatar, was now missing. Along with the now revealed host of the Spirit of Blood, Xiě. Though unlike his former allies in the Red Lotus, he didn't care about Korra or Xiě's host. No, what Unalaq cared about was becoming the new Avatar by merging with Vaatu.
'And this only proves that Avatar Wan and all his reincarnations have failed both humanity and the Spirits. I will be the Avatar this world needs and bring true balance and order to it. And with Korra now missing, I'll need to speed up my plans to open the Spirit Portals and free Vaatu in time for Harmonic Convergence.' Unalaq thought, knowing without Korra around to open at least one of the portals, he needed to find some other way to try and open them, if he hoped to become the Dark Avatar.
Or perhaps, he could locate Korra himself and being the benevolent uncle he is, help her bring order back to Republic City. Which will go a long way in making her trust him. But no matter what, he needed to find a way to get the portals open.
*Western Air Temple*
After leaving Republic City, Tenzin and his family, sans Jinora, the Krew, and Ty Lee had headed for the Western Air Temple, being welcomed and given housing by the Air Acolytes there. With Tenzin immediately contacting Lin to hear about the situation in Republic City. Only for the Airbending Master to hear how bad things have gotten since they left, and was prepared to head back to help in any way he could.
Only for Lin to all, but order him to stay at the Western Air Temple.
"What are you talking about Lin?! I'm needed in Republic City!" Tenzin argued, knowing he couldn't sit by and do nothing, while Republic City falls into chaos.
"You are needed with your family, Tenzin! If things continue as they are, I can't risk you coming back here. You are the only adult Airbender and Airbending Master left in the world, if something happens to you, then the Air Nomads will die along with you. The best thing you can do right now, is stay with your family and ensure the Air Nomads continue to exist by training your children. If you want to help, find another way to do so. But if I see you back in Republic City, I'll arrest you myself!"
The line was then cut, making Tenzin sigh, but he also couldn't argue with Lin's reasons. If something happened to him, then there would be no one left to train Ikki and Meelo. And while Jinora has learned everything he has to teach her; she isn't an official Airbending Master and he couldn't put such a responsibility on her.
"She's just like Toph was, when we were younger. Only much more serious." Katara stated, seeing that Lin had inherited Toph's no-nonsense attitude, but was also much more serious than the blind Earthbender was, when they were teenagers.
"Well, were you and Ty Lee able to contact anyone, mother?" Tenzin asked, the two having tried getting in contact with their other allies around the world, with both elders nodding.
"Yes, I was able to get in contact with Bumi. He and General Iroh will be making their way to Republic City with their fleets to assist the Metalbenders, and hopefully contain the fighting. I was also able to contact Kya as well, who's thankfully near where Bumi's fleet is docked and will have her picked up, so she can help with the wounded." Katara said, much to Tenzin's relief, knowing help will soon arrive in Republic City.
As while his brother could be rather wild, he's still a commander in the United Forces for a reason.
"I also managed to get in touch with Zuko. He said that he, Mai, and Jin will be coming here to help in any way they can." Said Ty Lee, glad for the chance to see Zuko and his wives again after so long.
"Good, their help will be much appreciated. Were you able to get in touch with anyone else?" Tenzin asked, only for them to shake their heads as they sighed.
"No. We would have contacted Toph, but she hasn't been seen since she started traveling the world, and we have no means to contact her. And everyone else…have been gone for a long time now." Katara said sadly, knowing that Sokka, Suki, Aang, Appa, and Momo have long since passed away, leaving no chance at a full reunion of the original Team Avatar.
"They're still here with us, even if it's not physically. Besides, I doubt Suki would even let Sokka anywhere near a fight, if they were still here." Said Ty Lee, putting a hand on Katara's shoulder, with the Waterbender nodding in agreement.
Knowing her brother, he'd be more than ready to fight and save Republic City, but Katara that knew her sister-in-law would tie him down and make sure he didn't go and get himself hurt.
"Well, what's important, is that we managed to get what help we can, both for ourselves and for Republic City. As there was something else Lin told me." Tenzin said, getting their attention.
"What else?" Ty Lee asked, wondering what else could have happened.
"The Agni Kai Triad has mysteriously vanished from the city, leaving the Triple Threats and Red Monsoons to fight over their territory. Maybe it's nothing, and they simply left to stay out of the fighting. But after everything that's happened, I'd prefer not taking the chance that something else may be going on." Answered Tenzin, with Katara and Ty Lee nodding in agreement, knowing from experience that if something strange happens, it usually means something big will happen later.
Now they could only hope another crisis doesn't pop up, at least until Republic City was safe.
*With Bumi*
"Bumi! It's good to-what…are you wearing?" Kya asked as she boarded her brother's ship, only to stop short when she saw what Bumi was wearing.
"It's the new uniform for the United Forces for when we head to Republic City." Said Bumi, who proudly as he stood in front of his sister wearing armor…made completely out of rubber.
"…Okay, I'll bite, how's that going to help?" Kya asked, knowing Bumi could be rather unorthodox in his planning, but even she had to think this was strange, even for him.
"Simple, from what we've heard, these Erasers consist entirely of non-benders that only use Chi-Blocking and weapons provided by Hiroshi Sato. With this new armor, their Chi-Blocking will bounce right off of us, while their electric weaponry won't have any effect, because rubber doesn't conduct electricity." Explained Bumi, grinning at his idea, with Kya nodding slowly, seeing how that it made sense in the way that most of his ideas made sense.
"Okay. But what about the Firebenders? I doubt they'll be able to Firebender in that, or create lightning." Said Kya, while crossing her arms.
"I thought of that too, and talked with General Iroh. Firebenders will be outfitted with plastic armor, which will also protect them from electricity and provide some protection from Chi-Blocking. As for lightning, they'll still be able to redirect the electricity from their weapons." Bumi replied, as the Waterbender sighed, but nodded.
"Alright, let's just get going." Said Kya.
"YEAH! Cause after this, I'm retiring and spending time with my family!" Said Bumi, planning on this being his last mission before he retires from the United Forces.
'I'm sure Tenzin will love that.' Kya thought, knowing if Bumi retires, he'll no longer have any responsibilities keeping his crazy side at bay, anymore.
Though she supposes it'll be nice for her and her siblings to be back together again, especially if it means messing with their baby brother.
*With Korra, Naruto, and Jinora*
Meanwhile, after leaving Air Temple Island and Republic City, Korra and Jinora had ridden Naga to the south of the United Republic, stopping when they reached a large forest. Soon being able to find shelter in a cave, where they laid Naruto down until he woke up.
With Korra and Jinora currently working on the Avatar's newly awakened Airbending.
"You're doing pretty good Korra, despite just gaining Airbending." Jinora said, having seen Korra was already making good progress on using her Airbending.
"I'm just glad I'm finally able to put all those lessons to use." Replied Korra, before rotating her arms, gathering wind before condensing it into a ball, which she jumped on.
The Avatar grinning at managing to successfully create an Air Scooter, having seen the Airbending kids make them before, and was excited at getting the chance to ride one herself.
"This is awesome! No wonder you guys love making these, so much!" Korra said, while riding around on the Air Scooter, with Jinora looking at her in worry.
"Uh, Korra, maybe you should wait to try the Air Scooter! It's a really advanced technique, and it can also be-"
*BANG*
"Ouch…" Korra muttered, when she crashed into a tree after losing control of the Air Scooter.
"-hard to control for first timers." Jinora finished while wincing, since even she and her siblings had some trouble when they first learned to make Air Scooters.
With Korra groaning as she stood up, seeing that even when she's finally unlocked Airbending, she's still having trouble learning it.
Though suddenly, their attention turned to the cave when they heard Naga barking, with the two girls quickly rushing over and inside, only to be relieved and happy to see Naruto was awake.
"Naruto!" Korra said, before rushing over and hugging him tightly, making Naruto stumble back as he caught her, about to say something, only for Korra to kiss him
"Oh, sorry! You just woke up and I was just really happy to see you awake, that I wasn't thinking and just acted. And I…it's just really good to see you up again." Said Korra, before pulling back, figuring that Naruto was still trying to compose himself after being unconscious for so long.
"No, no, it's fine. I'm just glad to see you're safe. And it's good to see you too, Jinora." Naruto said, smiling at the young Airbender, with Jinora returning the smile before hugging him.
"I'm glad to see you're alright, Naruto. We were really worried with how long you were unconscious." Said Jinora, with Naruto patting her on the head, not seeing the annoyed looks that Jinora and Korra were giving each other.
After leaving, Jinora had felt some jealousy towards Korra at seeing how close she stayed by Naruto, with it only growing after seeing her kiss him. While Korra also noticed how worried and concerned Jinora was for her boyfriend's condition, much more than a normal friend would be. With the Avatar suspecting that the Airbender may possibly have a crush on Naruto, something she wasn't all that happy about. But didn't say anything about it, doubting she had to worry, though was still annoyed.
"I'm fine, it's not the first time this has happened, and I doubt it'll be the last. But where are we, anyway?" Naruto asked, confused as to why they were in a cave.
"Well that's…kind of complicated…" Korra said, before she began explaining everything that happened after Carnage was released, with Naruto only sighing when he heard how many people died and that it's now common knowledge, that he's Carnage, along with what happened after.
"I'm sorry that happened, if I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone with you to the match." Said Naruto, but even he knew that if he hadn't gone with Korra from the start, he would have rushed off to help her as soon as he learned of the attack.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. You couldn't have known something like this would happen, or know it'd result in the talisman being broken. The only thing we can do now, is prepare and try to make things better, when we return to Republic City." Korra said, with Jinora nodding in agreement.
"Korra's right. While it was shocking to learn just what Spirit you held, and even a little scary, you aren't at fault for what happened. What matters is staying safe until help arrives in Republic City." Added Jinora.
Looking between the two, Naruto couldn't help but nod, before they headed outside.
"I also went ahead and hunted a couple animals that you could drain the blood of; both to help you regain your strength, and to put into a few pouches for later." Said Korra as she and Jinora resumed her Airbending training, while motioning to a small pile of animals she went out and hunted.
Having been thankful that she was trained to hunt by her father, given it was part of life in the Southern Water Tribe.
"Thanks, it'll be useful to have, since who knows how long we'll be gone." Naruto replied, before going over and making a small stone stool, before he began extracting the blood from the animals and placing it in the pouches, with Jinora being a little unsettled at the sight, given her vegetarian upbringing as an Air Nomad.
Though she knew not everyone had such an upbringing like her, and that a vegetarian lifestyle wasn't for everyone. Especially someone like Naruto, given how important blood is for him to keep his strength up and act as sustenance from being Xiě's host.
"Naruto, were you unconscious because of Carnage? Since you don't have the talisman anymore, should we be expecting him to make an appearance?" Korra asked, not sure if she'll be able to access the Avatar State again, not even expecting to access it before, but was glad she did to help suppress Carnage.
"No, surprisingly, I haven't heard anything from Carnage after you helped push him back. But I know I'll hear from him eventually again, I always do." Naruto answered, knowing it was rare for Xiě to not say or do anything, but knew the Dark Spirit would be back.
Korra nodded, thankful they wouldn't have to deal with Carnage as well, while Jinora couldn't deny her curiosity and questions she's wanted to ask, since learning the exact Spirit that Naruto had inside him.
"Naruto, would it be alright if I asked you some questions, about being Carnage's host?" Jinora asked, with Naruto glancing at her before nodding.
"Sure." Replied Naruto, not seeing a point in denying her request, since she already knows.
"Does drinking blood do anything else for you besides provide sustenance and help keep Carnage sated? And is being able to shoot webs an assimilated ability, like with your Earthbending and Firebending?" Jinora asked.
"In order, it depends on the blood I drink. Like if I drank a benders blood, I'd gain their bending ability or their power would be added to my own bending. Drinking blood also keeps me at a hundred percent. The more blood I drink, the longer I can keep going without resting, eating, or sleeping. As for the webs, yeah that's another ability I gained, since I also get the abilities of certain animal blood I drink. Such as strength from a goat gorilla, sense of smell from a shirshu, speed and reflexes from mongoose lizards, and the webs I gained from spider cats, monkey spiders, wolf spiders, and other spider-based creatures." Naruto explained, much to Korra and Jinora's amazement, before their faces turned green and sickly in disgust and discomfort at hearing that he ate spiders.
"You actually ate spiders?" Korra asked, disgusted at the idea of eating anything with spider in its name.
"It was that or people." Naruto replied with a deadpan expression, not having enjoyed it either, but knew it was necessary to not hurt anyone, plus he did get some useful abilities from it.
The girls nodded, before they resumed their Airbending training, while Naruto continued draining the blood from the animals. Before he caught Naga looking at him intently, her eyes darting to the animals he'd already drained before back to him.
"Go for it." Naruto said, with the polar bear dog eagerly digging into the drained bodies, with her tail wagging happily at the meal.
*Later*
After some time, Naruto had finished draining all the blood from the animals, along with drinking some of the blood he drained to help regain his strength. While Korra and Jinora finished with the Avatar's training for the day. With the three soon taking off on Naga to keep moving, just in case they would have been followed or tracked by anyone from Republic City.
Though as they rode, Naruto frowned as he felt something off.
"Korra, stop for a moment." Naruto said, with the Avatar looking at him in confusion for a moment, before nodding and had Naga stop moving.
Getting off the polar bear dog, Naruto walked forward a few feet and looked around, frowning in confusion.
"What's wrong Na-" Jinora said, only to be cut off when a spiked chain burst out of the ground and wrapped around Naruto, while two figures wearing and black grey camouflage clothing, rebreathers, one large, clawed gauntlet on their right and left hands respectively, and horned headbands jumped out of the trees.
"One down…" Said one
"…two to go." The second said as they pulled their gauntlets, which the chains were attached to.
Only to suddenly find themselves unable to move, as Naruto looked at them with an unimpressed look.
"You two must be a special kind of stupid." Stated Naruto, not believing these idiots would actually attack him, given it's likely spread far enough for people to know who he is, along with how they saw him with the Avatar and an Airbender.
His point being proven, when Korra raised her arms, causing a pillar of earth to shoot up and slam into one of the attacker's heads. While Jinora released a blast of air at the second attacker, throwing them back into a tree. With Korra then freezing the chain, allowing Naruto to break free.
"Who are these guys?" Korra asked, frowning at the sudden attack.
"Their names are Gōzu and Meizu, otherwise known as the Demon Brothers. They're a pair bounty hunters and Waterbending Assassins, known to use poison and poison-laced weapons in conjunction with their bending." Naruto answered, having become familiar with such people during his isolation.
"Bounty hunters? Why would they be after us?" Questioned Jinora, worried at the idea of bounty hunters being after them, as Naruto walked over and searched the two, before eventually finding a wanted poster of him.
"They're after me." Said Naruto, while showing them the poster, much to Korra's anger.
"Are you kidding me?!" Exclaimed Korra, angry that her boyfriend now had a bounty on his head, before kicking Meizu in the head in her anger.
"As much as I don't like it, I guess it should have been expected after he was exposed." Said Jinora, frowning, while Naruto stomped on the ground, causing the Demon Brothers to sink in up to their necks, leaving them trapped.
While he and Korra would be more than able to kill them, they weren't going to for Jinora's sake, given her upbringing as an Air Nomad who are against killing.
"There's nothing we can do about it, except trying to stay out of sight." Naruto said, with the girls nodding in agreement, before they got back on Naga and rode off, now knowing they had to be extra careful on who sees them.
*Unknown Location*
"Uh, Lady Azula, if you don't mind me asking, we were wondering…what exactly is you plan?" Asked one of the triad members, as they all stood within Azula's base, with the former Princess of the Fire Nation having removed her mask and lowered her hood, as she looked down at her newly acquired subordinates.
"Simple, I'm searching for a way to get back what was lost to me." Azula said, confusing the triad members.
"Uh…the Fire Lords throne?" Said one, only to duck when Azula launched a fireball at his head.
"I don't care about the throne! My niece and grandnephew can keep it. No, what I want is to regain my youth, my power, everything that I lost to time." Said Azula, while looking at her aged body with a scowl.
"And how do you plan to do that?" One of the triad members asked, none of them having heard any legends or stories of a way to regain one's youth.
"There are many stories and legends in this world, some even older than the Avatar. Many have been lost, but I found a place that had the secrets I desired. The legend of the Fountain of Youth, said to have the power to reverse the aging process and return one like myself to the prime of my life." Azula explained, shocking and amazing everyone at the existence of such a thing, which could render someone practically immortal.
"And…and such a place exists?" One asked, with Azula nodding with a smirk on her face.
"It does, but it's location has since been lost. Luckily, I was able to retrieve enough information to help locate it. Unfortunately, I had a rather trying encounter with a Waterbender, who was also seeking the fountain to restore her own youth." Azula said as her smirk turned into a frown.
"How tough could one old Waterbender be?" Questioned someone, not seeing how an elderly Waterbender could be a problem, only to wither under Azula's warning gaze.
"You've never encountered a Waterbender, like her." Stated Azula, knowing she'd need to find the fountain first, before the Waterbender did.
Otherwise, she doubted anyone would be safe.
*Foggy Swamp*
Meanwhile, hidden deep within the Foggy Swamp, was an old and decrepit hut, one which every occupant in the Swamp knew to avoid if they wanted to live.
Within the hut was a hunched over figure wearing a tattered cloak, before the person held up their shaking hands, showing they were decaying and even beginning to fall apart. The person let out a wheezing breath, as she focused as her hands soon stopped shaking.
"I don't…have long…I need the…fountain…I must…find…the…fountain…" The woman wheezed, knowing it won't be long before her body gives out.
The woman then looked into a cracked mirror, revealing her face was beyond ancient and withered, her eyes being milky and cloudy, her cheeks being sunken and hollow, and looking as if her body was breaking down. Though despite this, those who know the woman would still be able to recognize her as Hama, the thought to be believed creator of Bloodbending.
Despite being well over a hundred years old, Hama was still alive due to having learned several abilities she gained from her Bloodbending. One such being the secret to Bloodbend without the need of the full moon, something she had passed on to her second student, Yakone. One who fully embraced Bloodbending, unlike Katara.
While she managed to keep herself alive, by combining Bloodbending with Healing, in order to keep her body functioning and moving, attaining a form of immortality. But it's only a temporary thing, as eventually, her body will just give out, despite her best efforts. It's even got to the point, where she can no longer Bloodbend anything or anyone, having to focus it entirely on maintaining her dwindling life-force. But it doesn't mean she's helpless, since she was still being able to Waterbend, thanks to her learning how to Dual-Bend in her incredibly long life.
Something, Hama is incredibly grateful for, given her encounter with Azula in their search of the Fountain of Youth. Along with her ongoing feud with the Swampbending Tribe and Toph herself, who's taken residence in the Swamp.
Unfortunately, she knew that she didn't have long, perhaps a month at most, possibly two if she pushed herself hard enough. But Hama knew her age will soon catch up with her, but she wouldn't quit until she found the fountain. Though she couldn't even search for it herself anymore, as if she went out and was unable to find it, it's unlikely she'll be able to make another trip.
No, she needed to wait for someone else to locate the fountain, before going to its location herself. She only had one chance left, and she wasn't going to waste it.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Lin is trying to hold Republic City together while dealing with the ensuing conflicts and civil war, along Neji really going off the deep end in his Zero Tolerance for all things bending and those that support benders and the Avatar. Before we then see Unalaq scheming to get the Spirit Portals open and release Vaatu. Then we see everyone at the Western Air Temple, with Tenzin having to stay there for his own safety, being the last adult Airbender, while Katara was able to contact Bumi, Kya, and General Iroh to aid Republic City, while Ty Lee contact Zuko, Mai, and Jin (the latter who Zuko both married since he deserves some happiness in his life along with both being good for him) to come and help them. Then seeing Kya and Bumi, seeing some of his crazy, yet somehow effective, ideas to combat the Erasers. Next we see Korra and Jinora practicing Airbending before Naruto wakes up, with us seeing the budding rivalry between the two girls, before Naruto drains the blood of some creatures Korra hunted while Jinora asks him some questions. With the three soon setting off only to ambushed by bounty hunters Gōzu and Meizu, who are taken down quickly, while knowing they'll have to be extra careful. Then we get a look at Azula and learn about her plans to locate the Fountain of Youth to de-age herself back to her prime, along with getting a look at a new enemy, Hama! Who is still alive by combining Bloodbending and Healing to extend her life, having learned several secrets of Bloodbending along with being the one who trained Yakone. With her being at the end of her rope and needing to find the fountain as well before she expires. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
