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 X: Endgame

The Arena is fully protected by the equalists, everywhere are banners and posters of Amon, his supporters crowded into the area. The trio are now back with their disguises and their arms behind their back. Wan nods, giving the signal that it's time, they sneak inside the rally. Amon rises from the podium as the crowd cheers out in adoration.

"Thank you all for joining me on this historic occasion! When I was a boy, a firebender struck down my entire family and left me scarred. That tragic event began my quest to equalize the world-"

"What an amazing story, Surely it couldn't be a lie!" Wan yells out sarcastically, Amon's eyes widen as the trio takes off their masks, revealing themselves. Korra then adds insult to injury by saying, "We know, Amon, or should I call you Noatak?" Amon's eyes narrow under his mask, Lieutenant quickly looks for orders from Amon. "Should we take them out?" he suggests, Amon takes a step forward, glaring at the trio and raising his hand. "No." Then he turns to the crowd. "Everyone calm down, we have nothing to fear from the Dual Avatars. Let's hear what they have to say." Wan points at Amon, leaning on the rails "Amon isn't the man that you think he is!" He announces, "The spirits didn't give him the power to energy bend and if the spirits weren't angry why would they bring two avatars into the world!?"

"He uses bloodbending to take people's bending, Amon is a waterbender!" Korra finishes, the crowd gasps and begins to murmur among themselves. "Could it be true?" one man whispers, "That's crazy," another turns to his wife.

"You're desperate, Dual Avatars. Making up stories about me is a pathetic last resort."

"Okay, since you wanna play that game!" Wan yells, "I have proof that you're a blood bender and a hypocrite beyond wild imagination. The only thing that can grant energy bending is a Lion turtle and the only person that can truly take someone bending is The Avatar. Doesn't it sound awfully strange that a boy from a farm somehow with no spiritual connections would get energy bending?" Amon smirks under his mask, "You've always been clever, Avatar Wan. I'll give you that, however, your theories are incorrect." Amon unveils his hood and unties the back strings that hold his mask to his face. He gently takes it off, revealing his scarred face. While Korra and Mako gasp, Wan's eyes narrow, trying to get a better look at it. "Tarrlok wouldn't lie about something like this."

"The Dual Avatars are lying!" a man cries out as Amon places his mask back on his face,

"Well they don't believe us!" Korra yells at Wan, who continues to glare and is somewhat deep in thought. "We said what we had to. Let's get out of here," Mako urges. Once he turns around he sees equalists behind them spinning their bolas ready to attack.

"I wouldn't leave yet, Dual Avatars. You'll miss the main event."

Wan's eyes widen, and he makes a small gasp as he sees a part of the stage rise with Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo tied to each pole and gagged. "No!" Wan screams, "I thought they got away, we saw them get away!" Korra says in disbelief, Amon then raises his hand, "Tonight, I rid the world of airbending, forever."

Wan shakes his head, he is in a state of rage and shock. He clenches his fists tight. "I won't allow you to do this!" Wan roars, his muscles getting tense. "You're welcome to come down here and try to stop me," Amon says to Wan mockingly, Wan's fists are engulfed with flames, his fire grows hotter as his anger begins to take hold.

"Gladly."

"We need to stop him." Korra turns to Wan, whose very aura tells her everything she wants to hear. "He's trying to bait you both," Mako says quietly, however, Wan ignores it completely, "We need to save them!" Korra protests, Amon then turns to the airbenders as he begins walking towards them. "The Dual Avatars need to be reminded of the power I possess." Mako generates lightning and directs it towards Amon, who rolls over and dodges it. Korra and Mako run vertically on the walls using their firebending to keep themselves balanced while Wan flies with his cloud and lands on the stage, avoiding all attacks on him, targeting Amon and the equalists with hot bursts of enraged flames, getting them away from the air benders, Korra and Mako join him. Korra ungags Tenzin and with a flame on her finger, she melts the chains. The crowd disperses, running out of the arena.

"Where are Pema and the baby?"

"In prison."

"Beifong?" Korra asks as she breaks the chain with her legs. "I don't know." Once free he goes into the battlefield, helping Wan and Mako as Korra frees the kids. Wan makes a large stream of air, knocking Amon off of the stage and smashing him onto a wall. The group run backstage and into a hallway. "That should distract him." Wan's gaze turns to Tenzin. "We'll make a diversion, you run!" The master Airbender turns to his children in a hurried manner. "Let's go get your mother and the baby."

Mello raises his fisted hands yelling, "Prison break!"

Amon opens the other door and the group goes their separate ways, Wan airbends Amon back which works temporarily, Korra bends a wall of fire to buy them time. Amon jumps through the firewall and he scans the room the trio entered, then his ears pick up the doors swinging slightly.

He enters the room, Wan hears Amon's footsteps near Korra's hiding place, Wan begins to close his eyes, sweating as his hands tremble in fear. Then his adrenaline rushes through him as he hears Korra cry out in pain. Wan rushes out of his hiding place, attacking Amon with everything he can and so does Mako. They both surrender to Amon's bloodbending as Korra has. He raises them up then slams the three down and makes Korra go in a kneeling position. "No" Wan shouts in horror. "No no no!" Wan repeats over and over, Amon's hand presses on the back of Korra's neck. "No!" Korra cries out. "Korra!" Mako cries out, Amon presses his finger on her forehead. Wan's heart sinks to his stomach, he is beyond words and he is gripped with horror. His mouth goes completely dry as he hears Korra's voiceless cry. Amon lets her go, letting her body slump face down to the ground.

"I told you I would destroy you."

Amon moves on, walking towards Wan. "What did I tell you-" before he finishes he is stopped by a door opening. He turns his head, standing behind him is Lieutenant who is lost for words at the sight, "Everything the Avatars said is true, isn't it? I just saw you bloodbend them." He furiously takes off his mask and steps on it aggressively as he takes out his kai sticks, preparing to attack. "You hypocrite, I dedicated my life to you!" He advances towards Amon, however, he is bloodbended up in the air. "You've served me well, Lieutenant." With that he kills the man and casts him aside. Amon's attention goes right back to Wan, who struggles to break free. "As I said before, I will destroy you both."

Wan screams, Amon's eyes widen under the mask as Wan breaks free of his control and blasts a powerful gust of wind and fire powerful enough to make Amon lose consciousness. Everyone in the room is freed of his control. Wan scoops Korra up, bridal style. Mako follows after Wan, the two men run out of the room and into the hallway.

Korra looks up at Wan. "Wan, my bending" she mumbles. He replies, "It's going to be okay, we need to get out of here-"

Wan and Mako freeze, making Wan lose his grip on Korra, sending her sliding, and she stops on a nearby corner. Amon again paralyzes Mako and throws Wan up and down like a rag doll. Amon forces the Amnesic avatar to assume a twisted kneeling position.

"I'm impressed. No one has ever gotten the better of me like that. It is almost a shame to take the bending of someone so talented. Almost." Wan closes his eyes as the bloodbender's tight grip is on his neck.

"I'm sorry, Korra" He whispers, his voice full of regret and terror, Amon's thumb is near his forehead

"No!"

Wan feels a gust of wind that makes Amon once more lose his grip on Wan and Mako. Amon is thrown back, flying. Wan's eyes sparkle with joy, he feels his heart flutter. "Korra, you can airbend!"

Amon grounds himself and looks up, he is bewildered at this turn of events, "Impossible." Korra glances down at her hands, "I can airbend?" She stands up straight and proclaims, "I can airbend!" Korra pouches blasts of air with a fury like no other, Amon attempts to dodge but nothing avails. He slides to the end of the hallway, and he groans, reaches out using his bloodbending and stops Korra's next attack. Korra struggles, Wan stands at the same time Korra breaks free of his grip.

"No.. you...don't!" The dual avatars roar in unison, Korra kicks, and Wan punches an enormous gust of wind that throws Amon out the window; his mask falls off as he plunges to the sea. His supporters gasp and rush to see what happens.

Amon's mask floats up from the sea, Korra and Wan embrace, and they help each other walk to the broken window, Mako grips his arm and they look down at the people protesting, Wan sighs as one man says, "You bending tyrants!"

"Evil Dual Avatars!" Wan closes his eyes when he hears a burst of water, he looks up to see Noatak bend a water spout, gasping for air, as his scar is washed away. The crowd gasps, "He's waterbending!"

"He is a bender!" another calls out, "I can't believe it"

"The Avatars were telling the truth"

"Hypocrite!" a woman screams, Noatak's enraged gaze turns to Wan and Korra who reciprocates it. Noatak jumps in the water, Mako attacks with blasts of fire which the waterbender dodges. "He's not getting away!" Wan jumps from the window, he airbends a cloud and chases after Noatak.

"Wan!" Korra cries out, Wan flies at the highest speed that he can get, following the bloodbender. Wan attacks with blasts of fire, trying to hit Noatak, the other man rises out of the water, attacking the amnesic avatar with ice daggers. Wan dodges, he bends a water whip grabbing Noatak by his arm, still chasing him. Noatak uses his left arm to make another set of daggers that scrapes Wan's right leg, Wan cries out in pain consequently losing his cloud and plunging in the water.

Wan emerges above the water, gasping for air. He scans the area for Noatak but finds nothing, he slams the water in a fit of rage.


Noatak emerges from the trap door to Tarrlok's prison, and the councilman glances up. "Noatak." The other man walks to his prison. "It's over, brother. I'm sorry for what I had to do to you." Tarrrlok sighs deeply and adverts his eyes from his older brother. "Our father set us on this path; fate caused us to collide. I should have left with you when we were boys."

Noatak opens the cell door. "Leave with me now. We have a second chance. We can start over, together. Please, you're all I have left in the world." Tarrlok glances up in awe and gets up, hugging his brother. "I accept."


At Republic City's bay, Dual team Avatar, Tenzin's family, and Lin wait for the united forces to show. Wan limps to Korra and hugs her. "I couldn't get him, I'm sorry," The amnesic avatar regretfully says. "I'm just glad that you're okay, you had me worried there," the female avatar embraces him again. "Yay, Uncle Bumi's here!" Ikki announces cheerfully; on the ship, Bumi yells, "Waaaa-hoooo!" and claps his hands. Wan stares at the man with a surprised expression. "Huh, I guess General Iroh was right, he is crazy, The exact opposite of Tenzin."

Tenzin sighs to himself, and mutters, "Great, now I have to entertain my brother."

Meanwhile, in the middle of the sea, the two brothers are in a speed boat, Noatak is driving. "The two of us together again, there's nothing we can't do!" Tarrlok sits in the back confused and angry, he glances at the electric gloves and back at his older brother. "Yes, Noatak."

The older man smiles, then chuckles, "Noatak. Hmph, I had almost forgotten the sound of my own name." Tarrlok takes a glave from his left side and unscrews the lid to the gas, he closes his eyes and breathes in steadily. "It will be just like the good old days." He places the glove on top of the opening, Noatak smiles as a tear rolls down his cheek. "Yes. it will be."

Tarrlok electrocute the full tank and the boat explodes, taking the two brothers with them ending the tragedy of a story.


A few days later, Wan frantically bounces his legs in the waiting room, he is praying that everything will be okay. The door slides open, and Katara steps out, then closes it. Everyone in the room stands to wait for the elder waterbender to speak. "I've tried everything in my power, but, I cannot restore Korra's bending," The elder says regretfully. Wan shakes his head in denial. "Try again, you're the best healer in the world, please!"

"I'm sorry, there's nothing else I can do. Korra can still airbend, but her connection to the other elements has been severed."

Wan's hands go over his mouth, his gaze is on the ground, he doesn't know who he is, how can he help the entire world on his own- Korra slides the door open, walking out. She then places a hand on Wan. "You will be a great Avatar," Korra says with a broken heart. "I can't do this alone," Wan's eyes swell up with tears, Korra's hand leaves his shoulder as she walks out of the room. Wan tries to reach out, but she is gone too soon. Wan sits down and he is trembling in fear; Mako rushes out of the house and follows Korra. "Korra, wait!'

Korra turns her head to the side. "Go away." Mako grabs her hand before she can continue to walk, "I will, but I just want you to know, I'm here for you." Mako's hands crease Korra's chin she pulls back. "Wan is the avatar now, I mean, go away, back to Republic City. Get on with your life," she retorts, "You don't need to do me any favors." Mako stops her once more, "I don't care if you're the Avatar or not. Listen, when Tarrlok took you I was losing my mind at the thought of never seeing you again, I realized ...I love you, Korra."

Korra runs off and jumps on Naga, "I can't." Naga runs off, Tenzin puts his hand on Mako's shoulder. "We need to be patient with her. It will take time for her to accept what has happened"

Korra, with Naga, finally arrives on a cliff above the sea, Korra hops off of Naga's back and the polar dog bear waits for her. Korra walks further to the edge, she looks down; tears fall from her eyes and roll down her face. Korra finally breaks into a sob, as she sits down hugging her knees an older man walks next to her and waits. Korra wipes some of her tears, she is aware of the person. "Go away Tenzin, I want to be left alone."

"But you called me here." Korra peeks up at the new voice and turns around to see Aang. "Aang?" Korra stands up and Aang smiles, "You have finally connected with your spiritual self."

"How?" Korra asks. "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." Behind Aang is the entire Avatar cycle, Aang's hands touch Korra's heart and forehead, restoring her bending. Korra opens her eyes, "Wait! Who is Wan, do you know his memories?"

"All within time Korra," Aang says, "When the time comes, he will know the truth of his past.'' Korra closes her eyes once more and smiles, "Okay." With that Aang and all the avatars disappear. Korra's eyes snap open, glowing pure white; she bends all four elements. Once she exits the avatar state she turns to see Mako smiling at her, Korra jumps up and hugs Mako. "I love you too." They share a passionate kiss. The two ride back on Naga, Wan runs out of the house. Korra then jumps out and hugs Wan tightly. "You're not going to face anything alone."

"Wait, why?" Wan asks, "Didn't you-oh! You got your bending back!" Wan cheers, hugging her again, picking her up, Korra laughs as Wan spins her around. "This is great news!" Wan drops her, Korra coughs as Mako and her hold hands. "Korra was incredible, she entered the Avatar state." Wan fist bumps Korra. "Aang restored by bending," Korra explains, Wan's eyes widen in awe. "Woah, can you restore people's bending?"

Korra shrugs, "Worth a try"

Later on, Korra uses the technique that Aang showed her to restore Lin's bending. Korra's eyes glow and light emits from her thumbs as she uses energy bending. When Korra has finished, Lin gets to her feet and simultaneously lifts several large rocks into the air at once. Wan just smiles while everyone else is in awe. "Thank you," lines bow, Korra nods in acknowledgement. Tenzin smiles as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm proud of you, Avatar Korra."

Korra smiles brightly as her eyes sparkle with pride.


A man paces across a plain. All throughout the area streams of water flowing and rocky formations all across make a Yin and Yang symbol, which is enclosed by a chain of mountains. Two bubs of light, one light blue, and one deep purple. In the center of it all is a tree with no leaves and as old as time itself, inside it is a spirit, it is red and its markings dark red.

"Vaatu." The man bows, "I just got word that-"

"The human that locked me up in this prison is back from the dead. This is good news, I can truly kill him by my own means."

"It's said that he has no memory at all of his past," The man adds. Vaatu chuckles, "Thus he has no memory of our battle, see to it that he never will. If he has no memory of anything that happened ten thousand years ago, he and the other avatar will be easier to manipulate and soon I'll have the keys to my freedom, and I'll destroy them and Raava. And you, Unalaq, will be my Avatar."

Unalaq smiles then nods, "And your era will begin gloriously." Unalaq returns to the physical world, he has six and a half months until Harmonic convergence comes.
