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 VIII: Turning The Tides

Wan finally, after a long day, gets his well-deserved nap, regaining his strength with every hour. Tarrlok was taken by Amon. The dawn finally graces Republic city, Wan yawns, and is greeted by a huge pile of food- rice, and veggie dumplings. Korra is already digging in, Wan sits down and begins to eat. "Morning," Wan takes a bite of his dumplings. "Wow, this is good, Pema."

Pema stands up, taking Korra's clean plate. "Thank you, we're so thankful you're both home safe." Asami stands up and helps Pema with the plate, "Let me help". Both Pema and Asami go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes. "Korra, Wan, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened."

"Well, you already know Tarrlok is Yakone's son," Wan starts, crossing his arms, "Aang managed to contact both of us through visions."

"Amon took Tarrlok and took his bending," Korra finishes, her face turning serious, "I'm wondering how he showed up, it's like he just pops out of nowhere," Wan complains, rubbing his temples, "He's becoming more unpredictable and it scares me." Wan sighs as he tries to relax from what has happened but him capturing them was close for comfort, too close.

Tenzin glances at the two with a worried expression. "This is very disturbing news. Amon is becoming emboldened. Taking out a councilman, almost capturing the Avatars, I fear Amon is entering his endgame."

Pema and Asami in the kitchen continue to wash dishes, then all of sudden Pema doubles over in pain, holding her stomach. Asami quickly grabs Pema's shoulder, asking, "Are you okay Pema?" Pema merely smiles and nods, she picks herself back up slowly. "The baby is kicking really hard, I'm fine."

"Should I get Tenzin?" Asami asks, concerned. Pema waves her hand, closing her eyes. "No reason to worry him, it's nothing." Mako walks through the doorway carrying a teapot. "Can I get some hot water? Korra needs more tea."

"You're a firebender. Boil it yourself!" Asami yells as she continues to wash her plate. Pema and Mako glance at her in confusion, Wan stops his travel to the kitchen and leans up against the wall.

"I'm- gonna step out in case you two want to talk," Pema says, smiling as she walks out the room, but she grimaces as she leaves. On the way she sees Wan and chuckles, "You are too much, Wan," she gently slaps him on the shoulder.

Wan shrugs, smiling sheepishly. "I can't help it." Pema shakes her head. "Well, don't get caught, young man."

"I won't." Wan leans in again, hearing the argument unfold,

"Is there something we need to talk about?"

"I've noticed how you treat Korra. How you acted when she was missing."

Wan's mouth widens as he hears a dish being dropped in the sink as well as a wet rag.

"You have feelings for her, don't you?"

Wan nods like he's responding to Asami, and mouths, 'Yes, he's a playboy, leave him!'

"What? No! She was taken by a crazy blood bender! How did you expect me to act?"

"Wan acted very differently than you did and is closer to Korra then we are." Wan blinks and chuckles to himself silently.

"I like Korra, she's great. You've been keeping the truth from me this whole time." Wan extends his hands dramatically and mouths, 'Thank you!'

"The truth? About what?"

Wan facepalms and shakes his head disapprovingly.

"Stop acting dumb! You're really going to make me say it?"

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

"The kiss, Mako. I know."

Wan's mouth drops in shock, he leans in closer to hear the rest of the argument.

"I- Well I- Bolin told you, didn't he?!"

"Don't blame your brother for what you did. Do you have feelings for Korra or not?"

Wan puts his hands up in the air and comes back to the wall.

"Look, things are crazy right now. Can we deal with our relationship problems later?"

"Well, there might not be any relationship to worry about later."

"Ooo," Wan mumbles, pretending to walk into the kitchen as Asami walks out and Mako follows behind her. Wan whistles as she makes the hot water with the left teapot, then brings it back to Korra. He sits down next to her, pouring her cup and pouring his. Everyone nearly leaves the table Korra glances at him. "Is something wrong?" Wan sips his tea and shakes his head, then puts his cup down. "This is the most drama I've ever seen and I'm amnesic."

"Wait- I'm lost."

"Let's just say Asami knows." Wan continues to sip his tea to Korra's shock, "How-"

"The chatterbox of Dual Team Avatar," Wan answers as he once again puts his cup down on the table. Korra facepalms. "Bolin, right?" Wan chuckles a bit, "Wan, thanks for saving my butt." Wan simply smiles "I got captured too y'know."

"Yeah, but you were on to Tarrlok way before," Korra points out, then she blushes slightly. "I'm glad I have you on my side."

"I'm glad to have you too Korra," Wan blushes, then they both hear a loud explosion, they quickly stand up and rush outside. Next to them is Dual team Avatar who heard the explosion as well. "We heard explosions, what's going on?"

Lin answers solemnly, "Republic city is at war."

Dual Team Avatar quickly gets out of the boat and at the bay, Wan is overwhelmed by the explosions and sirens, but keeps his head up. "Where did you two park the car?" Asami asks. Wan's finger goes up as his mouth opens. "Ugh-" Korra points in the car's direction, it has crashed into a pole and has tons of tickets. "Wow, nice parking job," Asami sarcastically remarks.

"Hay! You guys got arrested and left me and Wan alone with the car! I made it very clear I don't know how to drive."

"She tried her best, I guess," Wan smirks, teasing her a bit. Korra visibly slumps, shaking her head. Bolin takes a ticket from the windshield, and looks at it. "How are we going to pay for all these parking tickets?" His brother takes the tickets from his hand and burns them to Bolin's horror, and he gasps. "Relax, the city is under attack. The police have more important things to worry about." The team hops in the car despite it being completely wrecked, Mako sits in the front with Asami, who in response glares at him. "Why don't you sit in the back? With Korra."

Wan glances downwards as his eyes widen a bit and he looks side to side, he is tempted to tell them not now but the drama was kinda interesting to him Korra says absolutely nothing Mako then huffs then says "I will." He moves to the back then Bolin moves to the front, The dual avatars remain silent as Asami starts the car. "Wow, " Wan says under his breath, Mako stares at Wan, who looks back and shrugs. The car backs up and Asami turns the wheel and steps on the gas. Once she spots something, she drives around a corner. Bolins bends two earth ramps beside the car. "JUMP!"

Dual Team Avatar jumps off of the car before the car slams into the mecha tanks by the ramp, four mecha tanks surround dual team Avatar. The benders of the team attack, the mecha tanks try to grab each one, however they evade their attacks. Wan sends blasts of air in rapid succession, while the benders attack the metal tanks. Asami goes for the equalists that try to put Tenzin in the back of the trunk, she ambushes them, electrocuting them with her glove. More come her way and she dodges them with ease. Tenzin gets up and nods at Asami. "Thank you." Tenzin then rushes to help Mako and Wan. Tenzin positions himself under the mecha tank and bends a sharp stream of air launching the tank up, and it lands on the city's hall dome. The Amnesic Avatar's mouth drops in awe and shock. Korra runs up to Tenzin asking, "Are you all right?"

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

Wan then turns his head and his eyes shoot open in terror. "We've got a problem." Tenzin glances out to Yue's bay as he sees an equalist airship headed towards Air Temple island. "No," Tenzin says in horror. "We need to get back to the island!" Wan yells. Tenzin then blows a silent yet high pitched whistle signaling Oggi.

Tenzin and Dual Team Avatar make it back to the island, they all dismount and the Airbender master runs to his children, hugging them tightly. "Oh, thank goodness you're all right!" Mello climbs on his father's shoulder then pulls on his head. "We beat up the bad guys!" Tenzin glances to Lin who crosses her arms, "You let them fight? Do you realize what could have happened?"

"I would have been toast if it weren't for your kids. You should be proud. You taught them well."

Tenzin looks at all of his children and smiles.

"Go on, be with your wife."


"Rohan," Tenzin smiles, Wan simply watches with a smile on his face. Even in the darkest of hours there is still some hope and light left, and he hopes that someday he'll find his own light in the darkness. Korra then walks in with a saddened look, "I'm so sorry to interrupt, but more airships are coming." Tenzin glances down at his newborn son, Ikki says worriedly, "Everything's not gonna be fine, is it, Daddy?"

Wan's heart aches at that moment, he averts his gaze then leaves the doorway to go outside with one mission in mind, that has been there from the very beginning but now clear as day for the first time in his remembered life. Protect his home and family.

Amon may have turned the tides today but tomorrow is a new day and he will fight back, till he loses his bending or dies, his deep copper eyes filled with an unbreakable determination that will not waver, he looks up at the sky as more airships approach the island. Tenzin approaches the younger man, his hand touches his shoulder which startles Wan for a moment. "I already told Korra to leave the island."

"I know, we have no choice, all we can do now is wait and strike at the right time."

"I already sent word to the United Forces, I want you and Korra to protect each other."

"I understand," Wan embraces Tenzin with a strong hug, "Stay safe." Tenzin pats his back gently and smiles slightly. "You too, Wan." The two men part. "Tenzin, if we're leaving, we'd better do it now," Lin calls out, Tenzin rushes to his sky bison that his family and Lin are already on the back of. "Oggi, yip yip!" Oggi flies off, leaving the island. Two airships chase after Oggi while another one attacks the island, it shoots a cable near the team, Dual Team Avatar take their stances but the white lotus guards get in front of them. "Leave, we'll hold them off," one guard yells. Korra whistles, calling Naga, once she arrives she climbs on. "Everyone, get on now!" Dual Team Avatar complies. "Let's go, girl!" Naga runs away from the equalists, Wan glances up then sighs, annoyed by Lieutenant. "Incoming!" Lieutenant slides down to attack them but Naga, even with five passengers on her back, attacks him with her right paw, smacking him down to the ground as they run past a cliff.

"Nice one, Naga!"

Naga runs to the pier and swims, Korra and Wan bend a large bubble around as they swim to safety. They emerge from the water near a huge drain pipe, they all get off of Naga and watch air temple island getting raided. Wan hugs Korra from her shoulder, pulling her close. "We'll find a way."

Korra embraces Wan and the other avatar closes his eyes, Mako places his hand on Korra's shoulder, saying, "Let's get moving." Korra nods as he escorts her inside the tunnel, Asami looks disdainfully at them but Wan's hand lands on her shoulder. "You okay Asami?"

"I'm fine," Asami glances at Mako and Korra, who are walking beside each other. "He isn't good enough for you or Korra. I knew he was playing you both."

"Why don't you stop her then?"

"Korra makes her own choices, if she wants Mako, that's her business," Wan says as he crosses his arms. "I think you'll be good for Korra," Asami starts. Wan chuckles at the thought, "Nah, we're just friends, besides, she's aiming for Mako even though Mako is technically with you-"

"Not anymore." With that, Asami walks deeper into the tunnel and Wan follows. He looks back at his home with a heavy heart, then moves forward.
