Earth

Fire

Air

Water

Only the Avatar master of all four elements can bring balance, however, something unprecedented occurred, two Avatars exist at the same time. Wan and Korra, Wan, however, lost his memory and must relearn what it means to be the Avatar at this time and find who he is.

Book I: Air

Chapter VII: When Extremes Meet

Wan rushes out of his room; he accidentally trips on a male air acolyte. He quickly regains his balance and helps the other man up. "Sorry about that!" He yells as he hurries out, panting as he gets to the teenagers and the Airbender kids. "You're late," Korra teases, the amnesic man just ignores her. "Welcome to Air Temple Island," he says, catching his breath.

The group laughs at Wan's entrance. "I ran as fast as I could," he says, smiling a bit. "So I guess everything is going smooth?"

"Yeah, some air acolytes handled their stuff." Korra points with her thumb. "That's good. Well Ikki, let's begin the tour" Ikki grins as she nods, ecstatic. She begins to walk them around the island. The girl is hard to keep up with but manageable. Bolin tries to mimic her at a fast pace.

"I have a couple of questions, is this a vegetarian island? Is that where you train airbending? Do we have to wear Air Acolyte clothes? Do we each get our own sky bison? And the final question, how many trees are on this island?" He bends down to look at Ikki, the girl thinks for a moment then answers. "Yes. Yes. No. No. Ten thousand five hundred and fifty-two." Everyone is silent momentarily. "So, where are we going to be staying?" Mako asks. "You're a boy," Meelo starts. "Boys have to stay on the boys' side."

"Except Wan, he stays two rooms from Korra," Ikki adds. Wan blushes, rubbing the side of his neck. "I kinda want to be close to her in case anything happens," Wan explains. Jinora puts her hands together and smiles. "I'd be happy to show you to the men's dormitory." Jinora and Mako, and lastly Bolin, walk away.

Korra then kneels to Meelo's height, asking, "Why don't you go with the boys too?" Meelo then turns to Asami, smiling and showing his missing teeth. "We shall meet again soon, beautiful woman." With that, he runs after the bending brothers and Jinora.

"Wan, Ikki and I will take you to your room. This way," Korra says to Asami, gesturing. They walk through the empty corridors. Ikki rushes near the nonbender women, giving a matter of fact tone to her voice when she asks,"Asami, did you know Korra likes Mako?". Wan's eyes shoot wide open, then he glances at Korra who stops in her tracks as her eyes widen in horror. She glances at Asami and Ikki in panic. "Wow, kids, they are something." The amnesic avatar chuckles a bit as Korra processes what the younger girl said.

"Oh, uh, no. I wasn't completely aware of that," Asami says, a bit shocked. Korra grabs Asami's arm and drags her further along the corridor. Wan holds in his laugh for a while as Korra slides the doors open and moves to the side, gesturing to Asami to enter the room. As Asami and Wan enter, Ikki walks up to the room to follow, but Korra goes in after Wan and turns to the door, glaring at the Airbender girl. Then she slams the doors shut in front of her making her step back hurriedly.

"Hey!" She cries.

"Run along, Ikki!" Korra yells through the door as Wan starts bursting out laughing. "And what's so funny Wan?" She glares at Wan, who composes himself quickly at the realization of Korra's anger.

"Nothing, nothing!" Wan puts his hands up, defending himself. Korra then sighs and scratches her head awkwardly. She turns to Asami. " Here's your room."

"I know this is a little simple compared to what you're used to," Wan adds. Asami smiles a bit at the man."I think it's really charming." She paces to the window, looking out at the bay. "And the best part about it- nothing here reminds me of my father." She turns her head back to look at Korra and Wan.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Then the trio hear someone bang on the door. Korra turns as she points at the door, irritated. Wan again holds in his laugh as Asami's eyes widen at Korra.

"Ikki! I swear, If you don't leave us alone, I'm gonna-" Before she can finish, Tenzin slides open the doors. Wan busts out laughing at Korra's embarrassment. Korra shoots a glare at Wan then smiles back at Tenzin nervously.

"Uh, Tenzin! Come right in." Tenzin sighs then walks toward them, "Good day, everyone. Asami, welcome to the island." Asami bows down in acknowledgement and so does Tenzin. "Thank you for having me."

Tenzin then turns his attention to the Dual Avatars. "Beifong's replacement, Saikhan, is going to be inducted as the new Chief of Police later. I think we should all be there." Wan frowns as he sighs, exasperated. "I have to see Tarrlok, don't I?"

"I'm afraid so, Wan."

"Great." Wan pinches his nose as he composes himself, oh how he loathes Tarrlok with a burning passion. He lowers his shoulders in defeat. "Let's just get this over with."


At Police Headquarters, a large crowd is standing at the front with Saikhan at the podium. The councilmen, policemen and the Dual Avatars stand in a line behind the new chief. Wan tries to keep a straight face, but in reality, all he wants to do is punch Tarrlok's smug face.

"It was an honor serving under Chief Beifong for so many years and I wish her a speedy recovery. It is with great humility that I take her place as the new Chief of Police. Republic City is facing a threat like none the world has ever seen but there is one man who's been effective against Amon's revolution, Councilman Tarrlok." Tarrlok nods his head as reporters take his picture, Wan quickly scowls at him, averting his eyes back to the front.

"That is why for all matters involving the Equalists, I will report directly to him." Korra, Tenzin, and Wan turn their heads to Tarrlok with surprise. "You have got to be kidding," Wan and Korra mumble in unison.

"The police department will lend any and all available resources to the councilman and his task force" Wan tries to remain calm and breathes in, using the breathing techniques that Tenzin taught him. Saikhan slams his fist down on the podium hard, making Wan lose his peace again, alarming him a bit. "Until we quell this insurgency."

Korra whispers to Wan, "What is that weasel snake Tarrlok up to now?" Wan just sighs, relaxing his shoulder, "Same as always, wanting a trophy for absolutely nothing," Wan shrugs as they gaze at Tarrlok with disdain. After the crowd disperses prior to the inauguration, Tarrlok gives Homura a handshake, then bows after them in their direction. Tenzin walks towards Tarrlok, then accusingly says, "I don't know what you did to get Chief Saikhan in your pocket but I highly doubt it was legal."

Tarrlok simply waves him off, chucking a bit. "Oh, Tenzin. Always the conspiracy theorist." Tarrlok puts his right hand on his heart giving Tenzin a smug grin. "Did you ever consider that Saikhan simply recognizes my talents and wants what is best for this city?"

"What talent?" Wan murmurs as he and Korra walk up right next to Tenzin. Both are aggravated, particularly Wan. "Well, Avatar Korra, Avatar Wan. Long time, no see. Now that your little pro-bending distractions are over, I look forward to both of your returns to my task force."

Wan chuckles in his face, "You really think we care about your little vanity project? Our answer is no, as usual."

"That is unfortunate to hear, but I'm sure both of you will come to your senses like in the past." Tarrlok says, a bit surprised, but nonetheless unbothered.

"Come to our senses?" Wan deadpans as he rolls his eyes. "Really? because I thought we were already in them." Korra huffs, then she then points at Tarrlok. "You know, Tenzin has been right about you all along. You played me, You tried to play Wan, you played Beifong, and now you're playing the new Chief too."

"Well, I got news for you. You need us, but we don't need you. We are the Dual Avatars." Wan high fives Korra, smirking. Both feel that they have beaten Tarrlok's games. Tarrlok momentarily pauses then smirks, "You, Korra. You're not, in fact, the Avatar." Korra's expression grows confused and Wan's eyebrows arch a bit.

"You are merely a half-baked Avatar in training, which reminds me, how is your airbending going?" Wan clenches his teeth and fists, and Korra's eyes widen at the shock and hurt of what Tarrlok is saying. It was like Tarrlok whips out a knife and jabs it towards her, aiming below the belt, and she gasps in pain as it stabs her. Tarrlok thrusts the knife deeper into her,saying "Made any significant progress with that?" Korra looks down in defeat. Wan then steps up, giving a reassuring hand to Korra. "I'll handle him," Wan whispers, then he looks up at Tarrlok.

"How's catching Amon, is your task force making progress with that Tarrlok?" Wan says with the same attitude. Tarrlok's eyes widen in alarm and he smirks "Well,-"

"Your task force is a joke. Don't flatter yourself, you're not as talented as you think Tarrlok. Just because the new chief kisses the ground you walk on doesn't make you less of an idiot." Tenzin was in shock at Wan's insult. Wan folds his arms, Tarrlok tries to say something again but Wan glares at him "I'm not finished!" He yells, "I may have memory loss but from my recent memory, I know that you're pathetic and sad. Let me be the one to remind you, You're not that special."

"Hum, might I ask. Why are you here, again? Isn't there supposed to be one avatar?"

"Why are you here?" Wan smirks, "Oh, so you're attacking my sense of existential crisis! Ha, sit down before you hurt yourself Tarrlok. I wasn't insulting you, I was only describing you, and my descriptions aren't as two-faced as you which in of itself is ugly. So, let me slow this down for you since you're quite the man-child. If I ever hear you speak to Korra like that again, I'll personally and gladly Put. You. In. Your. Place."

Everyone is silent, Tarrlok is in shock, then he composes himself, enraged at Wan's comment. Wan smirks a bit, "Going to cry? I know that hurts your fragile ego," he taunts as he puts on a compassionate facade.

He glares at Wan, as he goes eye to eye with the Avatar, "If you both will not be part of my task force, then you best stay out of my way." With that, he leaves.

Korra and Tenzin are in shock, Wan hugs Korra over her shoulder. Korra smiles softly, a bit sad, but she is overjoyed to hear Tarrlok get insulted like that. With that, they leave to go back home on Oggi. "I don't understand what's wrong with me. I've memorized nearly all of the practice forms, but I still can't produce a single measly puff of air!" Korra rants. Wan sits beside her, rubbing her back as she downcasts, "I'm a failure"

"No you're not, you just have to break the wall," Wan ensures her, patting her back. Korra turns to Wan. "He's right Korra," Tenzin adds.

"Amazing advice, I'll get right on that," Korra sarcastically says, sighing a bit, while Wan still rubs her back. "Yeah, I know. That comment hurt...Badly." Wan compassionately averts his gaze. Tenzin adds on to that, "You see, Aang not only had his bending teachers but also his past lives to call upon for guidance. Have you ever made contact with your past lives?"

Korra huffs again, annoyed. She says, "No, of course I haven't. Didn't you get the memo from the White Lotus? I'm a spiritual failure, too."

"Wan, Have you?"

"No. I can't really contact my 'past lives'...or even know my own."

"Humm, You may have both made a connection without realizing it. Perhaps something you mistook as a dream?" Wan's eyes widen, and Korra begins to think. "Maybe. I had a few weird hallucinations, but I hardly even remember them."

"Speaking of that, I had a childhood memory." Tenzin turns around towards the two with his eyes widening "What? Wan, Korra. Did you see anything of importance? Did you see any previous Avatars in these visions?"

Wan sighs as he rests his head on his palm saying, "No." Korra says a bit softly, "I saw Aang. It seemed like he was in trouble. What do you think it means?"

"I'm not sure, but I urge you to both meditate. Korra, I believe Aang's spirit must be trying to tell you something."


Wan looks out on the bay, meditating. This place always gives him peace of mind. He exhales as he opens his eyes to see the night sky. Then, his ears pick up sobbing noises. He stands up and follows them to see Korra crying her heart out, sitting on the ledge on Air Temple Island.

"You okay?" Wan asks, Korra peeks up and tries to wipe her tears. "I'm fine," Korra smiles, but Wan shakes his head. "I know you're hurt by what he said." Korra can't hide it anymore; she sighs, then puts her arms out. "I can't do anything right! I can't airbend, I can't contact Aang! I feel like Tarrlok is right, I am half baked." Wan pats her leg. "You're just trying to find yourself, like me."

"How are we supposed to save this city when I can't even learn airbending? I'm the worst Avatar ever."

Wan then helps her jump down and gives her a big bear hug, she hugs back. "Don't let anyone try to crush your spirit, I know that you'll break through it and be the best Avatar and partner ever," Wan smiles, crying a bit too.

"Korra!" The Dual Avatars look up at the new voice, Pabu comes out from the bushes, his head peeks out and chirps. Wan chuckles a bit as Pabu runs toward Korra and climbs on her shoulder, licking her tears. "Korra."

The trio have finally found Korra and Wan. "There you are. Are you okay?" Bolin asks as he reaches down to get Pabu again. "Yeah, I'm fine… now." Korra smiles a bit, still a bit sad but alright. "I'm guessing Wan helped you a bit huh?" Asami adds. Wan nods, wiping his own tears. "Yeah, we just had a talk."

"I just feel like...I'm the worst Avatar"

"No that's nonsense, you are amazing!" Asami gasps, giving Korra a boost of confidence. Wan arm hugs Korra. "Yeah, and remember, Aang hadn't mastered all of the elements when he was battling the Fire Nation. He was just a little kid! " Mako adds on, "And he wasn't alone! He had his friends with him. Look, the arena might be shut down, but we're still a team, the new Team Avatar!" Bolin opens his arms.

"Actually, Dual Team Avatar. If we count Wan being an Avatar too," Mako says. Asami hums. "Or Team Avatars?" She muses. Wan huffs a bit jokingly and says, "I'm just making things complicated aren't I?"

"No! Of course not," Bolin chuckles awkwardly, then he whispers, "You kinda are though…" Wan chuckles a bit. "Well it doesn't matter what our name is!" Bolin announces in a dramatically hopeful way. "Dual Team Avatar is a yes for me," Korra interrupts, "Dual Team Avatar it is!" Bolin announces. "We got your backs," Mako says, "We can save the city together." One by one the Dual team Avatar put out their hands on top of each other. Korra finally puts her hand down. "Let's do it!"

Meelo suddenly descends on their hands, farting loudly by his airbending. Everyone looks in horror and disgust at the boy, he then lands and raises a hand up in the air. "Yeah let's do it!" He yells, then he blinks and lowers his hand."What are we doing?"

Dual Team Avatar chuckles heartily. "I'm going to need to wash my hands now," Wan says off the bat. Later on, the team prepares for their first equalist hunt. "Get ready, Republic City. You are about to be patrolled by Dual Team Avatar." Bolin pats his bicep. Korra punches her palm and very enthusiastically says, "All right, Lets ride."

"We are not riding Naga, there are five of us," Wan remarks as he stops the Team from getting on Naga, Korra visibly slumps, a bit disappointed. "Yeah, all right. Any other suggestions?" Asami flips her hair, then she places her hand on her chin. After she thinks for a second, she says, "I think I have the answer."

The garage opens to reveal a brand new Sato mobile, the car revs its engines and drives out of the garage. Asami smiles a bit now with her racing glasses. "You think that'll do?"

Dual Team Avatar smiles as they hop in the car. Korra, Wan and Bolin are at the back while Mako sits next to Asami, the firebender pleased with the "I like the Dual Team Avatar style."

With that, Asami changes gears and drives off.


Dual Team Avatar drives around in the heart of the city, the team's attention is on the radio as the scanner starts up with the police, communicating with each other. Asami turns the radio up, then her face turns bitter. "My dad had police scanners installed in all of his cars. I guess now I know why." Dual Team Avatar listens, then Asami stops the car as a truck and several Equalist motorcyclists rush through the traffic. "Well, it looks like we found them," Wan says. "Let's get 'em!" Korra yells, pointing to her left. Asami pushes on the gas and changes gears. A bunch of cars move out of the truck's way as it pushes through, with the Dual Team Avatar in pursuit. Asami pushes the gas harder, trying to keep tails with the truck. "Korra! Bolin! Wan! Give me a ramp! Now!" The trio complies, earthbending a massive ramp that sends them flying. Mako lightning bends and aims for the equalist motorcycle, the chi blocker falls to the ground. Bolin strikes with his own set of earth darts, hitting another one. The rest of the chi blockers use smoke gas to blind them, the amnesic avatar quickly bends the smoke making it clear for Asami to see again. She makes a sharp turn to the right. "They don't know we made the turn. Okay, get ready!" Asami once more changes gears to speed up the car. She rams the equalist, flinging them into the air before landing on top of the bonnet. The fight is quick and swift. Afterward, the two avatars and their team are taking photos in front of the captured equalists. Wan catches a glimpse of the angry councilman walking towards them. "Go ahead, gloat," Wan smirks, Korra does the same and nods.

"Avatar Korra, Avatar Wan, what do you think you're doing?"

"Your job- Oh wait.." Wan mocks and Korra adds on with, "Oh, Tarrlok. Nice of you to show up finally. Here, we captured the escaped convicts for you." She puts her hand out, Wan hugs Korra by the shoulder. "We did all the hard work."

"What you two did was tear up the city and impede the real authorities in their pursuit of these criminals!" Tarrlok yells, Wan imitates a yawn and places his hand over his mouth. "Like what you did, flooding buildings and tearing up the city? Oh, sorry about that, at least we did the job and not just smile at the press."

"Wan, isn't that strange?" Korra starts, Wan turns her, placing his hand on his left cheek. "What is it?" Korra places her finger on her chin raising an eyebrow. "I didn't see Tarrlok's joke of a task force or the cops the whole time." Korra shrugs innocently, mocking Tarrlok in the process. "Oh! Is that right?" Wan says a bit too loud, then glares at Tarrlok. "If it wasn't for Dual Team Avatar they would have gotten away. So much for putting you in charge of catching Amon, it's almost like putting a Hog-monkey in charge of a military. Just Incompetence." Tarrlok points to the two in an unknown fury, "This is both of your last warnings. Stay out of my way!" Wan smirks as he turns back and drives away.

"I say that went well," Wan says as Dual Team Avatar smiles victoriously at Tarrlok's fury.


The next night, Dual Team Avatar waits for the next police scanner, eating take-out dumplings. Wan takes a huge bite of one, humming in delight, then the radio scanner starts buzzing, getting the attention of the team. "All available units, please respond to the fifty-six hundred blocks of Dragon Flats borough. Equalists have taken to the streets, consider them armed and dangerous. Proceed with caution." The team hops into the car, and Bolin jumps in the front with Asami. Wan jumps in the back, then Mako lets Korra go in first, saying, "After you."

"What a gentleman, thanks!" Mako helps her into the car, Asami adjusts the mirrors, narrowing her eyes at Mako and Korra. She changes gears and drives off to Dragon Flat borough. Once they make it, police are everywhere and it is pitch dark. "Why is the power off?" Korra asks. The car stops and Asami takes off her glasses. They see hundreds of non-benders protesting the police in anger, they are being held off by a blockade of metal.

Shakan then speaks through a microphone, "All non benders, return to your homes immediately!"

"Yeah, as soon as you turn our power back on!" one man yells, then the rest cry out in agreement

"What is going on?" Wan gasps as rage starts to boil in his chest at the injustice, he steps out of the car, confronting the chief. Korra and the team follow. "You benders can't treat us this way!" a woman yells at the chief, then her younger child tugs on her shirt. "Mommy, the Avatars!" The people turn to Wan and Korra, "Please, help us! You're our Avatars too!" she pleads. Wan turns to Korra. "I've had enough with Tarrlok," He murmurs. Korra can already tell that he is at his threshold of keeping himself from hurting the other man. She nods in agreement, then she and Wan go past two metal benders. "Everyone, please stay calm. We're gonna put a stop to this," Korra announces. Dual Team Avatar finds Tarrlok talking to another task force member, he turns to see Korra and Wan. "What are you doing, Tarrlok?" Wan says as calmly as he possibly can, but his voice has a furious undertone that no one in the world ignores. "You and your playmates shouldn't be here, Avatar Wan. this is none of your business."

"Taking people's rights is my business." Wan retorts, trying to not hit the man in the jaw. Korra steps beside Wan and points at the councilman. "You don't have the right to treat these innocent people like criminals!"

"This is an Equalist rally." Tarrlok points at the people, saying, "There is nothing innocent about it."

"I don't see any weapons!" Wan finally reaches his point of rage, he can no longer hide his anger. "You're just saying that because you want power over people, you're proving what Amon says about benders!" The veins pop out of his fists as he holds himself back from throwing a punch, Asami joins in standing up to the water bender. "They're not Equalists, they're just normal people who want their rights back." Tarrlok furiously turns to the trio and spits, "They are the enemy! Round up all these Equalists!" Tarrlok commands the cops, they comply as they begin to earth bend the ground beneath the protesters, raising them up to load in the trucks. People begin to flee in panic. "Enough!' Wan yells as with all his might, he earth bends the people back down, letting them go free. Tarrlok snarls at Wan, then with water snatches Asami by the hand and puts cuffs around her wrists. "You're under arrest!"

"What? You can't do that!" Mako exclaims, Tarrlok then smirks a bit as Asami is taken away by his task force. "Actually, I can. She's a non-bender out past curfew and her father is a known Equalist conspirator."

"Let her go!" Mako yells, Tarrlok then points to Mako. "Arrest him and his brother!" The cops metal bend the coals around their wrists and pull them towards them. "Tarrlok!" Korra earth bends two huge rocks, one on each side. "Unless you and Wan want to join your friends in prison, I suggest you put those down and go back to the Air Temple."

Korra feels a hand on her shoulder, Wan shakes his head. "He's not worth it. I understand you want to hurt him as much as I do." Korra sighs, then drops the rocks, listening to Wan, then Tarrlok. The brothers are loaded up on the truck. "We'll be alright" Bolin calls out, Wan then yells, "We'll try to get Tenzin on this!"

"So sad to see your little Dual Team Avatar broken up. You had a good run," Tarrlok smirks. Korra walks up to him but Wan holds out his arm to block her from charging. "Let's go," Wan says to Korra, with that they leave the scene and get in the car, Korra, unfortunately, having to drive. Tarrlok then turns to Wan with an all too familiar smug face. "No witty remarks, Avatar Wan?"

"No, I'd be wasting my breath." Korra changes gears and presses the gas a bit too hard, driving off. The Dual Avatars speed through a little too fast until they somehow, by a miracle, hit a porchlight near the Yue bay, making the lights and alarms go off. "Great driving Korra," Wan sarcastically sighs, closing his eyes and resting his elbow on the edge of the door. Korra jumps out of the car and kicks it. "Every time we have an upper on Tarrlok he keeps beating us!" Korra yells as she paces around the block. "Tarrlok is power-hungry garbage that won't stop trying to control us!"

Wan just listens, nodding his head and reflecting on what happened. "Can we go home?" Wan says in the midst of Korra's rant, the female avatar sighs and relents, "Yeah." Wan gets up from the car and closes the doors, him and Korra taking a long walk to the port of the island.

Wan and Korra wait in the police headquarters for Tenzin, Wan paces around, almost meditating to keep himself from lashing out. Korra does that for him, banging on the. counter, trying to get the person in the back's attention. "Hay!" Tenzin walks up to the two. "I came as fast as I could. Are your friends all right?"

"Well, we don't know," Wan starts but Korra then yells, "These knuckleheads won't tell us anything!" Tenzin then places his hand on both of their shoulders and sighs, "I'll take care of this." He then spots Chief Saikhan, who sees him and tries to avoid him. However, Tenzin confronts him. "Saikhan, a word please." Saikhan sighs then faces the Airbender. "Councilman Tenzin, I'm pretty swamped at the moment. Can this wait?"

"No, it cannot. Three of The Dual Avatar's friends were wrongly arrested tonight. I'd like you to release them immediately."

"They're not going anywhere. They were interfering with police business."

"Oh so police business is taking people's rights and rounding them up like cattle just because they are non benders?" Wan sasses, rolling his eyes in the process, "They should be released, too." Korra adds on, "All Equalist suspects are being detained indefinitely. They'll be freed if and when the task force deems they are no longer a threat."

"They weren't a threat in the first place dimwit!" Wan yells, losing his temper, Tenzin's eyes widen, "Those people are entitled to due process under the law!"

"You'll have to take that up with Councilman Tarrlok." Wan's mouth widens in momentary shock, then he grits his teeth. "Oh I plan to," Tenzin says, raising his finger. "At the council meeting, first thing in the morning!"

"Lin was so much better than you," Wan mumbles. Korra grips the chief's chin over the counter "You are the worst chief of police ever!" She moves his head up and down, Wan smirks, "Bootlicker."

"Korra, calm down." Tenzin pulls Korra from the chief. "I'll get this sorted out, we just need to be patient," He says to Korra, then he turns his attention to Saikhan. "But you are really the worst, ever!"


Korra looks out of the window, watching small bits of snow fall down. She can't stand it, her being responsible for this happening to her team. She puts her boots on and sneaks out of the island with Naga. She has to confront Tarrlok, on her own. The female avatar busts open the window and steps into Tarrlok's office, over his desk is a huge decorative waterfall with a sign. Tarrlok glances up to see Korra waiting for him, he turns to his pager. "Are any of the other council members here?"

"I believe not sir, everyone has gone home."

"Then you should do the same," Tarrlok says as he narrows his gaze at Korra. "Are you sure sir?"

"Yes, leave us." The assistant complies, leaving the two alone, bowing. "We need to talk," Korra says sternly. "Where is your partner, Avatar Wan?" Tarrlok asks, his eyebrows arched, Korra scoffles, "None of your business, this is between me and you, Wan isn't involved." Tarrlok sighs, "You obviously have something on your mind? Spit it out."

"Don't you see? You're doing exactly what Amon says is wrong with benders. You're using your power to oppress and intimidate people!" Korra retorts. Tarrlok tilts his head to the left. "And you don't?" Korra is taken back by this, then she grinds her teeth. "Of course not!"

"Isn't that what you came here to do? Intimidate me into releasing your friends? See, that's what I admire about you, Korra. Your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. It is a quality we both share."

"We are nothing alike!"

"Look, I'll make you a deal. You and Wan fall in line and do what I say and I'll release your friends."

"So you did that just to get to me and Wan?"

"I'm waiting."

Korra pauses for a moment then glares at Tarrlok. "No, I won't bow down and be your puppet." Tarrlok stands up and turns his back to Korra. "You will regret that decision." Korra clenches her fists then points at the older man, "You need to be stopped, you're just as bad as Amon!" Tarrlok's eyes widen, enraged. "I've tried to work with you, Korra, but you've made it impossible." He turns around and bends a sharp stream at Korra, who barely dodges it. She rolls over and earth bends at Tarrlok, making him lose his balance and hit the wall. Korra shoots a blast of fire, Tarrlok protects himself with a dome of water and begins shooting icicles at the Avatar. Korra punches them with her fist but one catches her shoulder, Korra makes a wall to protect herself as Tarrlok sadistically keeps throwing the ice darts. Korra earth bends the wall behind the waterfall, sending Tarrlok flying back, he catches himself with a railing, Korra then walks towards Tarrlok, towering over him. "Still think that I'm a half-baked Avatar?" She earth bends the wall around, making Tarrlok lose his grip and fall.

Korra jumps off and lands, hitting the ground and creating a hole in it. She gets up, panting heavily and completely consumed with anger. Tarrlok moves away in fear. "You're all out of water, pal." Korra ignites flames in her palms and begins to charge, however a strange force stops her in her tracks, her flame dissipates, Korra can't move no matter how hard she tries, she is pushed to her knees as Tarrlok stands, bending her. Korra's eyes widen as she grunts and screams in pain. "You're in my way Avatar, and you need to be removed." Tarrlok smirks rather sadistically at Korra's agony.

"You're a bloodbender!?" She manages to speak, Tarrlok chuckles, "Very observant." Korra screams again as she feels her limbs being twisted, not too much to break them but enough to hurt. "It's not a full moon...how?"

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." With that he moves her up and flings her to the side of the wall." Korra faints at the agony of the hit and the bloodbending, Tarrlok then moves her to the back of a truck, she opens her eyes to find he has bound her with rope. "Where are you taking me?"

"Somewhere that no one will find you, say goodbye to Republic City, Avatar Korra. You'll never see it again!" Korra screams as she unleashes fire from her mouth, Tarrlok quickly closes the door. Korra closes her eyes as she feels the truck moving. "Wan, please, save me."

Wan slides open the door to Korra's room, his eyes widen to see that the other avatar is gone.

"Korra? Korra!"
