Chapter 14: Out of the Past
In Haru's dream,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Haru was flying on Toothless with Korra behind him. They were laughing and cheering as they flew through the clouds. Haru felt happy, he looked back at Korra and saw the same happiness in her blue eyes. He leaned in to kiss her, but then she turned into mist and disappeared.
"Korra?" His eyes widened with surprise. He turned to Toothless and he too turned to mist.
"TOOOTTHHLESSS!" he screamed.
Now Haru was falling through the sky, yelling and screaming, he panicked and called out for Toothless, but the dragon didn't come. As he was falling, and the ground was coming faster, he looked around and saw a figure dressed in dragon scale armor falling beside him.
"Hey you! Help me!" He called to figure.
The figure looked at him. Haru couldn't see the figures face, it was covered by a dragon-like helm with no visor, but he could see the figures eyes, one was gold and the other green.
The figure reached into the sides of its pants and pulled out his arms. A sort of webbing from his wrist to ankle was pulled out and the figure began to fly away. Haru was a surprised as he was scared.
"Where are you going!? Help ME! Please!" He called for the figure to save him, but it was too late. He was nearly upon the ground, he had to think fast. He reached down and took a deep breath ready to hit the ground.
"Here's goes nothing!" he said bracing himself.
As he made contact he sunk deep into the Earth and a big mushroom cloud of dust formed after the impact. There was a whole where he landed and suddenly the hole turned into a whirlpool of earth and rose out of the ground, it pointed up like a drill and Haru came out at the tip.
"I'm alive? I'M ALIVE!" Haru shouted as he looked at his body surprised he was in one piece. He looked around and saw he was in the middle of a swamp. He crawled out of the mound he was on and began walking around. There was fog, bugs, and heat clouding his senses. He could hardly breathe, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and exhaled. Once he opened his eyes, he felt cooler, the bugs were gone, but the fog remained.
"What I wouldn't give to be an airbender." Haru sighed. As he journeyed deeper into the swamp he couldn't help but feel he was being watched. Something dark would dash away just out the corner of his eyes. He stomped his foot to sense everything in his proximity, but there was nothing out the ordinary.
"I must be losing my mind." He said holding the bridge of his nose. Suddenly he heard the laughter of a woman. He got into a stance and looked around, he looked up a tree and saw a dark figure crouched, but he couldn't see because of the fog.
"Show yourself!" he ordered. The fog cleared and Haru's eyes widened when he saw who it was.
A woman with long black hair and golden eyes, sat in the tree. She had a sort of dark eyeliner on her eyes and she was wearing typical Fire Nation clothing. She looked at Haru with a smirk.
"Heather! What are you doing here?" Haru asked ready to strike. Heather got up and stood on the branch.
"That's for me to know and you to find out!" Heather said as she shot out a blast of fire at Haru.
Haru used and mud puddle to block the blast, once the smoke cleared he gave chase to Heather who was jumping treetop to treetop while looking back a Haru with a smirk as he tried to keep up.
Haru used earthbending to jump into the trees and used his cables to swing after Heather.
Every time he thought he was catching up to her she disappeared. He stood atop a tree looking around to see if he could catch a glimpse of Heather. He then heard her laughing and gave chase when he saw her. This time he was sure to catch her. As she hoped through the trees, he began calculating her pattern and prepared for her next jump.
When Heather was in mid jump Haru threw a rock at her, clipping her legs and knocking her off balance. She hit her head on a branch and fell to the ground hard.
"Oh crap, Heather!" Haru said with worry, he didn't mean to hurt her. As he got closer he reached to grab her to see if she was okay. Heather quickly swung her arm up blasting fire at Haru's hand, burning it.
"AAAAHHH!" he yelled in agony. Heather stood up and looked at him with a smirk. He glared at her with betrayal and anger in his eyes.
"Pathetic, you always seem to fall for my tricks." Heather said in demeaning manner.
"DAMN YOU!" he yelled clutching his hand in pain.
"Aw Haru baby, you don't mean that." She said wagging her index finger. "it was just a joke."
"You have a twisted sense of humor!" Haru seethed.
"You're no fun." Heather pouted childishly. She turned away and ran off. Haru reached out with is other hand.
"Wait!" he called after her, but she was gone into the fog.
"DAMMIT!" he said slamming his fist. Haru inhaled sharply at the pain in his hand. He looked at the burn and it was pretty bad. He covered his hand in mud to cool it down and hardened it with earthbending.
"That should do it for now." He said to himself. Suddenly he heard the crying of a child. He looked around trying to pinpoint the sound, but it sounded like it was coming from everywhere.
Haru ran around looking for the crying child. The fog became thicker and the crying was disorienting. His ears were ringing, he couldn't think all he could hear was the crying, it was maddening. He ran around looking for the child frantically. Figures were dashing around him out the corners of his eyes.
Haru was feeling paranoid, he kept running, looking back to see what was following him, he turns back to his front and BAM! He ran right into a tree and fell on his back, hard.
As he laid there on the ground all he could hear was white noise, the throbbing pain on his head pounded into his brain. He clutched his head and struggled to get up. As the white noise disappeared he could still hear the child crying, but this time it was clearer. He looked up and saw the child.
He slowly made his way to the crying boy.
"H-Hey." Haru said softly. The boy looked up and backed up fearfully.
"Hold on now, don't be scared I'm not gonna hurt you." Haru said assuring as he reached out to the child. The boy had black unruly hair, his eyes were familiar to Haru, one was gold, the other green.
"What's your name?" Haru asked. The boy didn't answer.
"My name's Haru, are you lost?" Haru asked. The boy nodded his head. "What happened?"
"I-I lost my m-mommy." The boy said sheepishly.
"I'm sorry to hear that bud. Hey, I have an idea, why don't you come with me and I'll help you find her? Sound good?" the boy shook his head.
"Mommy says not the talk to strangers."
"That's good your mom is smart for telling you that, but I'm a police officer, see?" Haru showed the boy his badge. "Did your mom tell you to ask help from police officers?"
The boy nodded.
"Well I'm here to help you, okay? You can trust me." Haru said holding out his hand. They boy was warry of Haru, but he slowly stepped forward and held Haru's hand. Haru slowly brought the boy in close, they boy hugged Haru.
"It's okay, it's okay everything is gonna be okay." Haru said rubbing the boy's back.
Suddenly there was a terrible noise that echoed through the swamp.
"Mr. Haru what was that noise?" The frightened boy asked.
"I don't know bud, but let's not wait and find out."
The sound of trees falling was coming closer to their direction. Haru carried the boy in his arms and began to run forward, away from the falling trees. As he ran, he looked back and saw a gigantic dark shape coming towards them, the tall trees falling in its wake. Haru ran faster, his legs burning.
The dark figure roared once more. Haru looked back and saw the figure shoot a giant blast of fire. Haru quickly jumped to the right, clutching the boy tightly as the fire blast shot past them at great speed.
Haru looked up and saw that the path of the fire had incinerated everything in its path, he was happy to be alive, but scared.
"What the hell did that?" He asked. He looked back and the dark figure was upon them. Haru saw a blood red dragon the size of a small mountain standing before him. It had spikes all over its body, a jagged frill and six eyes, three on each side of it's horned face. At the top of it's head he could see a man with dark skin, long black hair, and a black cape.
"Oh Spirits! Who are you?"
"I AM YOUR DOOM!"
The voice seemed to be coming from the dragon and the man atop it.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR CROSSING ME BEIFONG!"
"I don't even know you!"
"THEN LET ME SHOW YOU!"
The red dragon gathered a huge amount of green gas in its mouth. Haru's eyes widened and he bolted away with the boy in his arms. The dark man laughed as the dragon spewed the fire. Haru ran with all his might to escape the fire, but it wouldn't stop coming. The boy in his arms began to cry, Haru was fearing for his life, was this how it was going to end? Was this his fate? He asked himself. As the fire began to close in on him, a pair of black wings enclosed him and the boy.
End dream,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Haru woke up sweating from the dream he just had, he looked around and saw that he wasn't in a hospital like he was expecting, but in someplace unfamiliar. He tried to get up, but his arms were restrained in chains.
"The hell?" Haru said as pulled on the chains, but for some reason he couldn't bend them, he tried again, but still no movement. He had become frantic and pulled with all his strength. The chains would not budge.
The door to the room opened and to his surprise Hiroshi walked in with some Equalists. A taller and buffer Equalist with an axe stood beside him.
"Oh good, you're awake." Hiroshi said with a smile.
"What is this!?" Haru asked incredulously.
"Calm down Haru, you were injured in a bombing."
"A bomb!? What the hell are you talking about!?" Haru yelled as he wriggled violently. Suddenly he felt his legs, there was something off about them, he looked and saw part of his left leg was missing. He froze, memories of the day in his office came back to him, the sound of doctors echoed in his head, he remembered.
"Haru I know this is shocking to you, bu—"
"Amon did this to me." Haru said blatantly, cutting Hiroshi off.
"Haru, no—" Hiroshi began, but Haru wasn't finished.
"AMON DID THIS TO ME YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL KILL HIM!" Haru roared as he thrashed violently. He was pulling so hard on the chains that the bolts were coming loose and his arms turning purple.
"Sedate him." Hiroshi ordered. The Equalist grabbed Haru, but he punched and kicked one in the private, knocking him down, the others quickly hit Haru's pressure points to immobilize him and gave him a shot with a medical needle. Haru tried to move, but he couldn't move at all, not even to speak. Hiroshi pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed looking a Haru. Haru stared at him venomously.
"I know that you must hate me son, but please listen. Amon did not plant that bomb in your office, that was someone else. When you were in the hospital recovering Amon took your bending and had you moved here far from Republic City." Hiroshi explained.
Haru's eyes widened at what Hiroshi said. Amon took his bending? And then kidnapped him? Oh he was so gonna tear Amon a new one when he gets out of here. But where is here? Hiroshi said they're not in the city. Where was Korra, his mom and Toothless? They wouldn't let this happen, unless Amon did something to them. Haru continued to listen to Hiroshi.
"Amon agreed to spare your life because I asked him to. Once Amon purifies the world of bending everyone will be equal and things can go back to the way they're supposed to be. No more bending. Me, you and Asami can be a family."
Haru growled angrily at Hiroshi, he tried his best to move but, he only made his face turn red. Hiroshi shook his head.
"I know it will take some getting used to, but you'll see." Hiroshi said as he ran his hand through Haru's hair. Hiroshi got up and left the room. The buff Equalist stayed behind.
Haru slowly but surely began to regain movement of his limbs. Once the paralysis wore off he sat up and looked at the Equalist.
"You know I'm going to get out of this? Bending or no bending." Haru stated.
"That's why Amon assigned me to you." The Equalist said crossing his arms as he leaned on the wall.
"Oh really? You sure you can handle a Beifong?" Haru smirked
"My sister has, so it can't be that hard." The Equalist replied.
"What? Your sister?" Haru said confused. The man laughed and began to take off his mask. Once it was removed Haru gasps in shock.
"Dagur!?" he said incredulously.
"Hello, brother." Dagur smirked slyly.
Air Temple Island (Next morning)
As Tenzin and Pema sleep the telephone begins to ring. Meelo, who is sleeping between them, sits up, rubs his eyes, and crawls over his father's face to answer the phone, waking him up in the process. He picks up the phone.
"Who is this? It's six in the morning! This better be important!" Meelo said in annoyance. Tenzin sits up and takes the phone from a cranky Meelo.
"Councilman Tenzin here." Tenzin answered, the person on the other line began to speak and suddenly Tenzin's eyes widened with shock at the news he just received.
"What?!" He shouted.
City Hall
A photographer is taking photos of the damages in City Hall. Tenzin arrives, he takes note of the while the camera, through the lens of a photo camera, zooms in on an electrified glove and several Equalists weapons. Cut to Tarrlok, who is having his arm wound healed by a male healer.
"What happened? What was Korra doing at City Hall?" Tenzin asked walking towards Tarrlok.
"As I told Chief Saikhan, Korra came to my office late last night. She was upset that I arrested her friends. She asked me to release them and ... that's when the Equalists attacked. I tried to protect Korra, but we were outnumbered. Then, I was electrocuted. When I came to, the police had arrived from the hospital. But Korra was gone I'm so sorry." Tarrlok said downcast.
"The hospital?" Tenzin asked confused.
"Last night Chief Beifong was kidnapped by Amon."
"What? How can that be!?" Tenzin asked in complete shock.
"Asami Sato witnessed Amon and some Equalists escape out the window with the Chief and drive away in a truck. It's possible they planned to take him and the Avatar at the same time. Until we find out where they have him, I will be acting chief." Saikhan replied.
"Chief Saikhan, mobilize the entire police force. We have to find the Avatar and Haru Beifong." Tarrlok ordered.
Lin's Hospital room
Lin had woken up and turned on the radio to listen to the news.
"We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you this special report. Late last night, Equalists attacked both City Hall and the Republic City Hospital."
Lin sits upright, startled by what she just heard. An attack on the hospital? How did she not know? She begins tuning the radio to listen more closely.
"Both Avatar Korra and Chief of Police Haru Beifong have been captured. Details are still coming in, b-"
Lin switches off the radio. Shock and tears form on her eyes. First her son is attacked by a bomb, now he was kidnapped? This was too much.
There is a knock on the door and Asami walks in.
"Asami."
"Aunt Lin I'm so sorry." The girl said giving her the older woman and hug.
"Please tell me what happened."
"It was late, me and the others were heading home, but I wanted to sit with Haru for a bit. When I walked the bed was empty and…" Asami wiped tear, but her sadness quickly turned to anger.
"I saw Amon and Heather standing at the window." Asami said angrily. Lin was astonished by this news.
"Heather! She's back!?" Asami nodded her head.
"She's an Equalist, I saw her. She was wearing the same clothing as them." Asami recalled.
"That little hussy!" Lin snarled. She tries to slowly get out of bed.
"Once I get my hands on her I'm gonn—Ugh!" Lin is cut off by a sudden burst of pain and holds her arm. Asami holds her.
"Aunt Lin you're in no condition to move." Asami warned her. Lin waved her off.
"Like hell I'm not! My son is out there being held captive by a maniac. I am not going to sit here in sorrow and you can't stop me!" Lin argued.
She gets out of the bed and slowly, she crosses the floor to a cupboard and opens it, revealing her Metalbending Police uniform arranged inside. She stands in her underclothes with her back to the cupboard and metalbends her uniform onto her body. She glances down at the police insignia on her chest and tears it off, before putting on a long coat.
"Let's go find Haru and Korra and bring them home." Lin said firmly.
Unknown Location
Inside a basement There is a big metal box, Korra, who was put inside of it by Tarrlok, was pounding against the door. Inside of the box as Korra throws her body onto the box, attempting to make the door budge. She grunts and groans.
"Somebody!" She pounds on the door with her arm. "Help! Please!" her poundings soften. Korra pants as sweats drips down her cheek. She slides down to the floor against the door, tired from banging.
"Please." She begs weakly, she closes her eyes. Suddenly Korra hears Tenzin's voice echo in her head.
"I urge you to meditate on these visions."
Korra opens her eyes.
"I believe Aang's spirit is trying to tell you something."
Korra gets seated in a lotus position and she brings her fists together to meditate. She takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes. She concentrates hard searching her mind and then there's a flash of light.
_
Flashback,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We see the back of an adult Aang's head. He hears some foot steps behind him and turns his head to see Toph and a few men with her, dressed in metalbender cop armor.
"What are you doing here, Aang? I told you I have this under control." Toph says with frustration.
"Under normal circumstances I wouldn't get involved, but if what those victims said is true we're not dealing with a normal criminal."
"Fine." Toph relents as she turns around and waves at Aang to follow. "Follow me, Twinkletoes."
Aang furrows his brow at the nickname.
"Toph, I'm forty years old. You think you could stop with the nicknames?"
"'fraid not." Toph chuckles as she walks away. Aang shakes his head and follows Toph.
The vision changes to what looks like a fancy restaurant. A water-tribe man is sitting at a table while a couple of bodyguards stand in front of it. Aang, Toph and the rest of the cops walk into the restaurant.
"It's over." Toph states as she points a finger at the man. "You're under arrest, Yakone."
The man now known as Yakone, closes his eyes and has his head down.
"What is Republic City coming to?" He asks as he opens his eyes and lifts his head up. "Used to be a man could enjoy his lunch in peace." He smirked.
Toph metalbends a spool of wire out and it catches Yakone's wrist, making him slightly lose his hold on his chopsticks. Toph yanks him up, turning the table over. A cop subdues Yakone and turns him around to cuff him.
"What's the big idea?" Yakone asked offended by their hastiness.
"We have dozens of witnesses, Yakone. We know what you are." Aang replies. The other cops arrested his bodyguards as well.
"Take him away." Toph ordered her officers. They begin to drag everyone away, but Yakone struggles.
"I've beaten every trumped-up charge you yahoos have brought against me, I'll beat this one too." Yakone smiles devilishly at Aang as they drag him away.
End flashback,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Korra opens her eyes and gasps in surprise.
"Whoa. I finally connected with you, Aang." She smiled looking up to the light. "But, what are you trying to tell me? A way out of this box would be nice."
Korra takes in another deep breath and returns to meditate.
With Haru
Haru was face to face with a man with red hair, gold eyes, a three-claw slash tattoo over his left eye.
"It's been awhile Beifong." Dagur smirked. Haru thrashed in anger.
"You bastard how dare you show you're your face!" Haru seethed.
"Aw come on! You're not still mad, are you?"
"What do you think!?" Haru asked wide eyed.
"Ok, so me and Heather used you to get a little police intel. That shouldn't change anything." Dagur said brushing it off.
"You two nearly cost me my job, my mom's reputation!"
"Ugh! Get over yourself. Beifong this and Beifong that. The whole world doesn't revolve around you, ya know."
"That's not the point and you know it! You betrayed me! Heather betrayed me!" Haru emphasized.
"Trust me she's been beating herself up over it since. Me, I could care less, but she really felt bad." Dagur recalled.
"Yeah right. You two only care about yourselves. Why are you even here? Aren't you a firebender?" Haru asked confused.
"Was a firebender. I've been purified by Amon and soon the whole world will be equal." Dagur replied. Haru looked at Dagur strangely.
Dagur noticed this. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.
"I knew you were crazy, but this just takes the cake." Haru said raising a brow.
"I AM NOT CRAZY YOU LITTL-!" Dagur stopped himself, he took a deep breath and exhaled. "Things have changed since we last met Beifong. Me and Heather have changed."
"Changed? Is she an Equalist too?" Haru asked.
"Yep. She hasn't been the same since we last met, I think she still has feelings for you."
"I've changed too Dagur, I'm not the same naïve police rookie from before. And this is what I have to say to Heather's 'feelings'-" Haru spat on the floor at Dagur's feet.
Enraged Dagur went and grabbed Haru by the throat and squeezed.
"If I had my bending I'd roast you alive for disrespecting my sister! You have no idea what she's been through because of you Beifong! But for her sake I won't kill you." Dagur let him go and Haru coughed as he composed himself. Dagur left the room and locked the door.
When Dagur left Haru laughed to himself as he held keys in his hand. Haru had taken them while Dagur was choking him.
"Same old Dagur." Haru said to himself.
City Hall
Tenzin was in his office taking phone calls while Lin, Asami, Mako, and Bolin walked into his office. He looked up in surprise.
"Excuse me, I have to go. Call me back the minute you hear anything." Tenzin said hanging up the phone. He turns to Lin, still surprised.
"Lin? Wh-wh-what are y- What are y- You should be in the hospital!" Tenzin exclaimed.
"I couldn't stand by and let my son and his girlfriend get kidnapped." Lin argued. Asami walked up the desk.
"Do you have any leads?" Asami asked worried.
"I've been on the phone all morning, but nothing yet." Tenzin said sadly.
"We need Naga. She can track Korra." Mako stated.
"I'm afraid her polar bear-dog is missing as well." Tenzin replied.
"What about Toothless? Where is he?" Asami asked.
"I don't know, last I seen he was…the Hospital!" Lin realized. They all rushed out city Hall to find the dragon.
Hospital.
Oogi was flying over the City with everyone in the saddle they hovered over the Hospital.
"There he is!" Bolin pointed.
Everyone looked and saw a black shape on the roof of the hospital. The sky bison lands and everyone disembarks. Lin rushes over to her son's dragon with the others in tow.
"Toothless!" Lin knelt by the dragon and listened for a heartbeat. Lin's eyes widened.
"He's alive!"
Everyone sighed with relief. Mako narrowed his eyes when something on Toothless caught his eye.
"Look." Mako pointed. Lin looked and saw a dart sticking out of Toothless' foreleg. She pulled it out and then sniffed it.
"Dragon nip?" Lin said confused. Asami grabbed the dart and inspected it as did Tenzin. Bolin was confused.
"Uh, what's Dragon nip?" he asked.
"It's a special grass Haru used to subdue Toothless." Lin explained.
"It looks like someone used a highly concentrated solution to knock him out to get to Haru." Asami said looking at Lin knowingly.
"Heather." Lin said narrowing her eyes.
"Haru's ex-girlfriend? She's back?" Tenzin said shocked. Mako and Bolin were at a loss for words. Lin nodded.
"She's an Equalist, Asami saw her and Amon take Haru last night. She's the only other person that could possibly know how to subdue Toothless." Lin explained.
Asami knelt down and tried to nudge the dragon awake.
"Come on Toothless wake up." Asami used water from a puddle and splashed it on Toothless face. The dragon groaned deeply.
"That's it Toothless, wake up! We need your help finding Haru." Asami goaded.
At the sound of his rider's name Toothless' eyes shot open and he tried his best to stand. He flared his wings and stretched letting out a roar. The other's smile as the dragon regained consciousness. Toothless' vision came back to focus, and he saw his rider's mother and friends. Lin walked forward a patted him on the head.
"It's alright Toothless." Lin smiled.
Toothless looked around and realized his rider was not there, he quickly jumped down the Haru's room window and saw the bed empty. He let out a loud roar that echoed through the city. He then jumped back onto the roof walking around panicked. Lin waved her arms to catch the dragon's attention.
"Toothless calm down! Everything is going to be fine, but we need to focus and find Haru." Lin assured the dragon.
Toothless slowly calmed down, his eye slits soon turned to orbs as he heaved deep breaths. Lin placed a hand on his snout.
"Alright now that we have him under control, where do we start looking for the Equalist?" Tenzin asked.
"My guess is that the Equalists are hiding underground." Lin said placing her hands on her hips. "In the maze of tunnels beneath the city."
"Underground. Just like my father's secret factory. Figures." Asami said crossing her arms angrily.
"Yeah, yeah. That makes sense. When those chi-blockers had me in their truck, in sounded like we drove into a tunnel." Bolin recalled. Mako was in deep thought, then he looked up in realization.
"I know where to start looking. Come on."
"I'll take Toothless." Asami said. "Come on boy." Asami waved. The dragon followed the teens. Lin and Tenzin stayed back for a moment.
"Wherever Amon is keeping Haru and Korra, I bet that's where my officers are too." Lin said hopefully.
"Let's bring them all home, Lin." Tenzin said placing his hand on her shoulder.
Alleyway
Oogi and Toothless land in an alleyway. Asami hops off Toothless while the others disembark from Oogi. Mako looks around for clues.
"The truck with Bolin took off down this alley." Mako turns his head back towards the group and points. They run down the alley and they soon reach an intersection and stop as they walk around.
"Which way?" Asami asked.
"Hmm. This way kinda smells familiar." Bolin said aloud.
Toothless stepped forward and began sniffing around, he suddenly darts to the right and runs. The other follow as quick as they can. Toothless jumps down a slope into a canal. The other slide down and follow.
"There!" Mako exclaimed. Toothless stood before a gate at the end of the canal, clawing at it. Lin takes a closer look, catching the sight of tracks.
"Motorcycle tracks."
"Haru must be in there somewhere." Asami said worried.
Toothless became impatient and prepared a plasma blast.
"Hold Toothless!" Lin ordered. The dragon immediately stopped charging the blast and grunted.
"We don't want them to hear us coming." She said. Lin steps back, raises her arms upwards and the metal grates slide up.
"Toothless you stay here. We'll be back" Lin said to the dragon. Toothless crooned and did as he was told, he watched them enter the dark tunnel.
The group walked into an intersection of tunnels. Mako uses firebending to light the way..
"Let's try this way." Asami pointed. Mako extends his hand to stop her.
"And what if Haru's not down there?" Mako suggested. Asami turned to him harshly.
"Then we pick another tunnel until we find him!"
Asami clenches her fist with determination and proceeds to walk down the tunnel, the rest follow. Mako looks a little hurt, by her attitude. The tunnel takes a curve, Mako turns to Asami.
"Hey are you okay?" Mako asked.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Asami replied.
Before Mako could say anything else the sound of an engine echoed down the tunnel. Everyone looked back to see motorcycle headlight coming their way.
"Hide!" Lin said sharply.
Mako extinguishes his flame and everyone runs towards a pillar on the side of the tunnel.
As the Equalists come closer, one then flips a switch on the dashboard of their motorcycle. Lin and the others turn away at the sound of a door opening. Sure enough, they see a part of the tunnel wall flip inward, revealing a hidden passage and both Equalists drive in and the door closes behind them.
Lin is shocked at first and then a look of determination comes over her face as she runs out from behind the pillar, the others follow her. They all stand before the wall, Lin closes her eyes and reaches her hand upwards to touch the wall. She rubs the wall with her hand, using Metalbending to feel the inner mechanics of the door. She then pauses her hand in the middle and she rotates it to the right. The wheel valves on the other side of the door twist and shift. Lin pushes her palm up and the wall flips upwards. Lin then gestures into the passage and the group runs in as the wall flips shut.
They all were inside of a secret Equalist base. They saw motorcycles, giant trucks in the foreground and a group of Equalists loading things into a tram. They all hid behind a wall and listened.
"That tram goes to the training camp." The Equalist pointed to the right. The tram car goes down the tunnel. The Equalist turns around as another tram drives in, the rider steps off.
"Everything was delivered to the prison, sir." The female Equalist said. They both walked away to an office. As the others looked on Tenzin narrowed his eyes.
"That's where they must be keeping Korra and Haru." Tenzin suggested.
"We need to get down that tunnel." Lin stated. She looked to see if the coast was clear. Once she saw no one, she waved her hand and runs into the open and the others quickly follow her. They all hop onto tram and Asami drives it down the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel two Equalists stand guard. An alarm sounds and blinks red at the end of the tunnel and the two Equalists look towards the inside of the tunnel as the tram rolls out. The Equalist looked confused as it is revealed that the tram is empty. The tram comes to a stop and the front lights turn off. Both Equalist walk towards the tram.
"It's empty." One said. The looked at him.
"Yeah. I can see that." The other replied in a snarky tone.
Metal cables shoot out from the tunnel behind them and wrap around their chests as they are pulled into the tunnel screaming. There is clanging and banging. The Equalists are already tied up and propped against a door, knocked out. Bolin and Mako standing in front of them while Lin walks up the stairs and Asami is already waiting at the top of the stairs.
"You two." Lin turns towards Mako and Bolin and points to the unconscious Equalists. "Keep an eye on them."
Lin retracts the metal sole of her shoe and she stomps hard into the ground with her bare foot. Shock-waves roll out from Lin's foot throughout the room and facility. She feels corridors with jail cells as the shock-waves move through it. Suddenly Lin opens her eyes.
"My officers are inside." She said looking up.
"What about Haru and Korra?"
"I don't see them yet." Lin replied.
Lin continues walking up another flight of stairs while Asami and Tenzin follow after her. They walk down a long hall with jail cells on both sides, Asami looked inside for any trace of life but they were all empty.
They all make a right into another hall and they see two Equalists at the end of it. Alerted to their presence, the Equalists got into attack positions as they swing their bolas above their heads. As they throw their bolas, Tenzin airbends a powerful blast of air, knocking the Equalists backwards against the wall. Lin passes them by onto the next hall. Asami runs forward, rips the mask off one of the Equalist and grabs the front of his shirt, holding her chi blocker glove to his face.
"Haru Beifong and Avatar Korra, where are you keeping them?!" Asami yelled as electricity crackled in her glove.
While Lin was searching the cells, she finds one and look in with shock. She walks closer to the bars to reveal the metalbender cops all seated despondently on their beds. Lin metalbends the bars aside loudly and the cops turn towards her as she walks into the cell.
"Chief Beifong?" the man said solemnly. Lin head droops slightly with sadness.
"I'm too late. That monster already took your bending, didn't he?" she asked. The cop nods silently, looking away shamefully.
"I'm so sorry." She shakes her head sadly. She stood up straight. "Come on, let's get you out of here."
Lin walks out as the cops get off the beds and follow.
We return back to Asami with her hands on the Equalist's collar as she pushes the Equalist up against the wall forcefully.
"I know you have them. I saw Amon take Haru and I know he must've had Korra taken too. So where are they!?" Asami threatened as she brought the glove closer to the man's face.
"Yes, it's true Amon took the Chief, but he never told us his location. And we don't have the Avatar, the Equalists didn't attack City Hall. Tarrlok's lying."
Asami puts the Equalist back on the ground.
"What?" Asami looks up to see Lin and the now freed officers.
"I scanned the entire prison. Korra and Haru aren't here."
"This doesn't make sense. If they have Haru, but not Korra then why would Tarrlok make up a story about getting attacked?" Asami asked confused. Tenzin looked up in realization, then anger as he furrowed his brows.
"Because he has Korra. He fooled us all!"
Suddenly an alarm goes off, echoing throughout the prison. Asami, Tenzin, Lin and the officers run to the tram car where Mako and Bolin are waiting frantically.
"Let's go, people!" Bolin hollered.
Asami hops behind the wheel as everyone gets on and immediately drives down the tunnel. As they speed down the tunnel, Mako turns around and notices a tram catching up to them from behind. Mako was about to attack, but Bolin places a hand on Mako's shoulder and steps in front of him. He brings his hands out to the sides, clenches his fingers and brings them down. The walls of the tunnel collapse they all heard the Equalist tram colliding into the rubble.
"Try to chi-block that, fools!" Bolin jeered as an officer and Mako smile at him.
While everyone was hanging on for dear life, Lin looked forward and was shocked at what she saw.
"We got more company." Lin warned. Up ahead at the end of the tunnel, the Lieutenant, a massive group of chi blockers and a couple of mecha-tanks were waiting in position for them. The Lieutenant's kali stick sparked with electricity.
Lin looked at the ceiling to see a metal rail. She begins make elaborate movements with her arms towards the ceiling, causing the rail to snap down onto the track.
"Hang on!" Lin shouted.
The tram moves up the make shift rail towards the ceiling. Lin earthbends a hole in the ceiling and the tram sails through the hole, into the air and lands roughly on the ground. Everyone groans but they are all alright. Lin gets out of the tram and earthbends a hole in the ceiling and sunlight shines in.
With Korra
Korra is inside the metal box still meditating. A bead of sweat drips down her forehead as she concentrates.
Vision,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Korra stood in the pew of a courtroom, this must be Yakone's trial. Everyone's eyes were on the prosecutor.
"Yakone has ruled Republic City's criminal empire for years-" The prosecutor stated as she looked at the criminal lord. Yakone was grinning evilly as Avatar Aang sat behind him.
"-yet he has always managed to stay out of the law's reach. Until now." She turns to the council. "You will hear testimony from dozens of his victims and they will tell you Yakone has maintained his grip on the underworld by using an ability that has been illegal for decades. Bloodbending." She finished.
An adult Sokka who sat on the council frowned with suspicion. Yakone's attorney stood up and walked around the table towards the council.
"The prosecution's entire case is built upon the make-believe notion that my client is able to bloodbend at will, at any time on any day. I remind the council that bloodbending is an incredibly rare skill and it can only be performed during a Full Moon. Yet the witnesses will claim that my client used bloodbending at every other time except during a Full Moon. It would be a mockery of justice to convict a man for a crime that is to commit." Yakone attorney explained.
Yakone still sat smug, handcuffed to the table. There were mutters in the crowd and among the council. Aang looked on a serious look on his face.
The vision fast forwards to the council walking back into the courtroom, towards their seats.
"Councilman Sokka will now deliver the verdict." The
bailiff announced.
Sokka stood up at the council table and cleared his throat.
"In my years, I have encountered people born with rare and unique bending abilities." He smiled slightly.
"I once bested a man with my trusty boomerang who was able to firebend with his mind. Why, even metalbending was considered impossible for all of history until our esteemed Chief of Police, Toph Bei Fong, single handedly developed the skill." Sokka gestured to Toph, he then turned toward the audience.
"The overwhelming amount of testimony and has convinced this council that Yakone is one of these unique benders and he exploited his ability to commit these heinous crimes. We find Yakone guilty of all charges and sentence him to life in prison." Sokka announced hitting the gavel.
At this, Yakone's attorney balls up the scroll in his hand, throws it away and bangs his hand against the table angrily. Yakone stands up and the attorney looks towards him. He closed his eyes and sighed, then suddenly his eyes open wide and they dilate unnaturally.
Suddenly Sokka yells in pain as his arm is bent slightly backwards. He begins to close his eyes and spasm. The whole council begin to spasm in the seats. Toph she metalbends a cable from her side. Yakone's eyes look to the side and cocks his head.
Toph drops the cable. and she begins to spasm and groan in pain. Yakone as he laughs and looks backwards. Aang was reaching towards Yakone, but he too was shaking and groaning in pain. The rest of the audience are spasming in pain as well. Yakone has managed to bloodbend everyone without using his hands.
Vision ends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Korra has a pained expression on her face and she breathes rapidly to concentrate.
City Hall
It's sun down at City Hall. The rest of the council are standing inside when Tenzin walks in with everyone else.
"Thank you all for meeting us on such short notice." Tenzin stated. Lin made eye contact with Saikhan and nodded.
"Chief."
"Lin."
"Have you news of Avatar Korra?" a voice said from behind. Tenzin, Lin and everyone turned around to see Tarrlok walking towards them. Tenzin stepped forward.
"We do. You kidnapped her, Tarrlok." Tenzin pointed. Tarrlok was surprised and stepped back.
"I am shocked you would accuse me of such an evil act. I already explained. Equalists attacked and took her."
"But there were no chi-blockers here last night. (points to Tarrlok again) You planted the evidence, didn't you?" Tenzin pressed on.
"That is a ridiculous accusation." Tarrlok said defensively.
As all this was going on, the council page stood on the second floor, clutching a pillar listening to their conversation.
"It's true!" the page yelled.
Tarrlok and everyone turned around to the page.
"He took her. I was here when Avatar Korra arrived last night but Councilman Tarrlok ordered me to leave. (Cut back to the page) I was on my way out when I saw Tarrlok bring her down to the garage.
"That is nonsense! Every knows your nothing more than a squeaky voiced liar!" Tarrlok shouted in anger.
"Why did you wait until now to fess up?" Lin asked with her arms crossed.
"I was terrified to tell because…because Tarrlok is a blood bender!" the page shouted, "He blood bent Avatar Korra! He even said that he was the one who blew up Chief Beifong's office!"
Everyone gasped. Lin's eyes went wide at that and she snarled at Tarrlok as her body was shaking from pure rage.
"TARRLOK!" Lin shouted as she charged at him with her metal blades but was stopped in mid-strike as Tarrlok was not only blood bending her, but the rest of the group.
He slowly started to bring them to their knees and then knocked them out as he fled City Hall.
Haru
Haru had used the keys to unlock the chains a free himself. He the broke the bed frame to use the wood as a makeshift crutch. He used stuffing from the pillow to cushion the bottom of the stick so that it wouldn't make noise when he walked.
He made his way to the door and quietly unlocked and opened it. He winced when the door creaked, but nothing happened, he peeped into the hall and it looked like he was in a regular house.
Haru quietly limped to a nearby window and looked out to see a desert wasteland that seemed to stretch for miles. How was he going to escape this place? Where was he to begin with? The Si Wong Desert? Without his bending, plus his injury, he was at a big disadvantage.
Haru turned around to leave, but when he did there was a young boy standing before him. Haru gasped, not because he was startled, but because this boy looked just like the little boy from his dream, same colored hair and eyes. Haru slowly put his index finger to his lips, gesturing the boy to stay quiet.
Much to his surprise the boy ran down the hall screaming.
"Uncle Dagur! Uncle Dagur! The bad man left the room!" the boy screamed.
Haru panicked looking around to escape but there was none, the walls were thick and bare. He tried to enter some of the rooms, but they were locked shut. This was just his luck.
"Beifong!" Dagur called.
Haru looked up and saw Dagur standing at the end of the hall, the young boy standing behind his leg.
"Give up, there's no escape!" Dagur said stepping forward. Haru backed away.
"Like hell there is!" Haru exclaimed.
Haru quickly limped toward the window and jumped through it, breaking the glass and falling onto the sandy ground, he quickly got up and spotted a stable of some sort, he hopped over to them as fast as he could. Just as he was about to open the doors, he felt a pain in his shoulder. He looked and saw a dart sticking out of it. He turned around and saw Dagur with a crossbow in his hand. Haru's vision went blurry and he fell, but before he passed out he heard a roar come from the stables, but not just any roar. That was the roar from a-
"Dragon." Haru slurred as he passed out.
City Hall
Tenzin layed unconscious on the floor. Lin walked over to him and slapped his face.
"Wake up."
Tenzin awakens with a gasp and sits up albeit slowly. Mako helped Asami up as she held a hand on her head. Bolin sits up on screen and flails his arms around disoriented
"Uuugghhh, man. I had this awful dream that Korra was taken by this evil bloodbender. So weird." Bolin said dazed. Asami and Mako look at each other then back to Bolin.
"Bolin, that really happened. He knocked us out." Asami reminded. Bolin became shocked.
"Are you serious?! Where is he? Is he here right now?" he asked looking around.
"Tarrlok is long gone. I'll alert the whole force." Chief Saikhan said to Tenzin and Lin.
Saikhan and the other councilmen turn away and walk away. Back to the group,Bolin places a hand on his shoulder and attempts to rotate it to loosen the sore muscles on his shoulder.
"We've only been out for a little while. Maybe we can still pick up Tarrlok's trail." Lin stated.
"It could lead us to Korra. Let's go." Tenzin said about to walk off.
"What about Haru? We have to find him." Asami said worried.
"Don't worry we'll make Amon pay." Lin reassured the girl. Asami nodded. With that they all left City Hall
With Korra.
Vision,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
While everyone is struggling under Yakone's Bloodbending grip, the evil criminal smiles maniacally as he has his palms upward and he flexes his fingers. He looks towards Toph with deep concentration and makes her grab a bunch of keys off a fellow cop. She gasps in pan as Yakone levitates her towards him. Her hand is outstretched with the key as she unlocks Yakone's cuffs, they fall to the floor.
Yakone massages his wrists and moves them around. He then moves his arms upwards, clenches his hand and Toph and a cop fall unconscious. Suddenly everyone in the room drops unconscious including Sokka and the council. Yakone looks back to see Aang's hand is still outstretched towards him, gasping in pain. Yakone brings his hand up, levitating Aang into the air.
"Yakone, you won't get away with this." Aang struggled to speak.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Republic City is mine, Avatar. I'll be back on day to claim it." Yakone smiled evilly.
Yakone brings his hand back and tosses Aang is forward against the steps and he is knocked unconscious. Yakone runs out of the courtroom and onto an ostrichhorse carriage he slaps the reins and the animal runs down the road.
Back with Aang, the wind blows around his robes and he wakes up glowing with the Avatar State. The glow fades and Aang looks furious. Aang bursts out onto the street angry and standing atop a huge swirling air ball and moves after Yakone.
Yakone's carriage speeds down an empty street and Aang is hot on his tail. Aang proceeds to move his air ball across the buildings. Yakone looks to the side in shock.
Aang makes elaborate movements with his arms and sends an air slice towards the carriage. The air slice severs the reins and the carriage spins off balance. The ostrichhorse keeps running but the carriage falls on its side toward the ground and skids a distance. Aang nears the carriage and circles it.
Suddenly Yakone extends his arms upwards and brings them in. Aang gasps and his body lurches forward and collides with the ground. Yakone jumps out of the carriage and walk towards Aang. Yakone's hair is in a slight mess and he loosens his collar.
"This time I'm going to put you to sleep for good." He said moving his arms around rapidly.
Aang spasms once more and a sickening crunch can be heard. His arms contort in an unnatural position. Yakone levitates Aang's body upwards and Aang continues to groan in pain. His body slowly spins around and his arms and knees are bent in very awkward angles. Aang's wrist as it bends backwards and Aang screams in pain.
Beads of sweat drip down Yakone's face as he looks on with deranged look in his eyes. Aang's neck begins to twist in a weird angle but then his eyes flashes into the Avatar State and he has broken free of Yakone's bloodbending and air is swirling fiercely around him. Yakone is surprised and puts his arms in front of his face to shield him from the wind.
Aang drops down earthbends a cone around Yakone and contains him. Yakone struggles and Aang's steps toward him. His right thumb is placed on the middle of Yakone's forehead while his left is placed on the middle of his chest just under the collarbone.
"I'm taking away your bending for good."
"NOOO!" Yakone yells as he tries to shake free. Aang's arrows and eyes flash. Yakone gasps with his eyes wide open. Aang's arrows and eyes stop glowing and he steps away from Yakone with a sigh.
"It's over."
End Vision,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Korra opens her eyes with disbelief as she comes out of the meditation.
"Aang, this whole time you were trying to warn me about Tarrlok." She said wiping the sweat from her face.
Suddenly a door opens. Korra stands up and listens to footsteps coming down the stairs. Tarrlok stood before the metal box.
"My life is a disaster now thanks to you and your little boyfriend." Tarrlok said with a sneer as he approached the box.
"So your little bloodbending secret's out?" Korra smiled smugly. Tarrlok seethes and looks away from the box.
"And I know how you bloodbent me without a Full Moon. You're Yakone's son." Korra stated.
"I was his son." Tarrlok said in a low tone, "But in order to win Republic City; I had to become someone else. My father failed because he tried to rule this City from its rotten underbelly. My plan was perfect, I was to be the city's savior, but you…you and that boy Beifong ruined EVERYTHING!" he shouted in anger.
"Tarrlok, the jig is up, and you have nowhere to go." Korra stated.
"Oh no." Tarrlok steps away and heads towards the stairs. "No, I'll escape and start a new life, and you're coming as my hostage." Tarrlok said walking up the stairs.
"You'll never get away with this." Korra shouted banging on the box.
Tarrlok opens his eyes in shock when he reaches the top of the stairs to see Amon, the Lieutenant and three Equalists waiting for him.
"Amon!" He said with surprise.
Korra looked up in surprise. Tarrlok looked towards the Equalists as the chi blockers swing their bolas and the Lieutenant whips out his kali sticks.
"It is time for you to be equalized." Amon stated in a calm voice as the chi blockers prepared to strike.
"You fools." Tarrlok said smugly preparing to attack.
The chi blockers move towards Tarrlok and they attempt to swing their bolas but their bodies are bloodbent and the bolas swing off course.
"You've never faced bending like mine."
Everyone except Amon crumples to the floor. Amon walks towards Tarrlok easily.
"Huh?" Tarrlok is surprised by this.
He re-positions his stance and lets out a shout, but Amon keeps walking, he slows down slightly, struggling against Tarrlok's hold. Amon's legs spasm a little but he shrugs it off and walks forward without hesitation. Tarrlok looks at Amon fearful and steps backwards.
"What? What are you?" Tarrlok whispered fearfully. Amon keeps walking towards Tarrlok.
"I am the solution." Amon simply answered as he quickly grappled Tarrlok down and took his bending away as he screamed in pain.
The Equalist got up as Amon picked up Tarrlok.
"I'll take care of him; you four will retrieve the Avatar. Do not underestimate her; electrocute the box to knock her out before you open it." Amon commanded as walked outside carrying Tarrlok.
"My pleasure." The Lieutenant answered as he and the other walked down the stairs.
Inside the box Korra looks up with desperation. She looks around the box for an escape, then she looks at her arm band and touches her sleeve.
The Equalists stop in front of the box and wait for the Lieutenant who is still walking down the stairs. As he steps off the last step, he takes out his kali sticks.
"It's payback time." The Lieutenant smirked. He jabs his kali sticks sharply on the box and proceeds to electrocute the box. Korra is heard screaming.
"AHHHH!" Korra shouted in mock pain as she hung from the bars in the ceiling of her cage by one of her arm bracers.
After a few moments the Lieutenant stepped away, "Open the box." He ordered two chi-blockers who complied.
They opened it to see Korra knocked out in the cage.
"Tie her up." He said and just as the two chi-blockers were about to grab her, the Sergeant with an axe saw her movements and stepped back just in time as Korra unleashed a fire blasting kick at them.
They jumped out of the way and readied their weapons just as Korra slammed the ground and caused them to lose their footing and bought herself some time to get upstairs.
The Sergeant was already up and ran after her and came out just in time as she saw Korra launch icicles at Amon as she ran away and Amon followed joining her in the pursuit.
Korra seeing the chi-blocker and Amon she fled down the hill.
Amon stopped at the end of the steep hill and the Lieutenant joined him a moment later.
"I thought I told you not to underestimate her?" Amon questioned in a disapproving tone.
"Don't worry sir I'll get her." With that, the female Sergeant jumped down the slope in pursuit of Korra.
Korra was using her water bending to propel herself down the hill of snow and saw the chi-blocker still chasing her. She was using a flat piece of wood to sled down the hill towards Korra at a frightening speed.
"Ahh, can't you guys just leave me alone!" She shouted at the woman chasing her and sent some icicles at her, but she dodged them with grace and was gaining on her.
"Watch out for that tree root Avatar!" the woman shouted and Korra looked in front of her just in time to see the root and jumped it avoiding a wipe out.
She came to a stop and got into her stance as she breathed heavily as the masked woman came to a stop about twenty feet from her.
The chi-blocker raised her hands and axe in the air in a surrendering manner and spoke calmly, "Relax, I'm not gonna hurt you Avatar Korra." She spoke in a smooth tone.
"Yeah right." Korra said in a deadpanned expression.
" If I was going to hurt you I would have. I'm on your side Avatar, I have proof." she said.
"Oh? and what is that?" Korra asked sarcastically. The woman lowered her axe, Korra became tense and hostile.
"Drop the axe!" Korra ordered. The woman complied.
"If you check my right pocket you'll see the symbol of the Beifong flying-boar. I am the police informant within the Equalist." She stated.
Korra blinked at that.
"You can restrain me while you check." She said as she lowered his arms and stood still.
"…Okay, but no funny business." Korra said in a threatening tone.
"Whatever you say." The woman shrugged.
Korra raised her hands and encased all but the woman's head and neck in ice. She walked up to her melted the ice by her right thigh and pulled a piece of paper from her pocket.
Korra opened the paper and her eyes widened at the sight of the Beifong family's symbol of the flying-boar.
"You're really on our side." Korra said in slight shock.
"Told ya, now that you know, how bout you melt this ice before I freeze to death?" The woman deadpanned.
"Um yeah, just a sec." Korra said as she melted the ice.
"Come on let's go, we have a lot of ground to cover to reach the City." She said picking up her axe. As she started walking her hand went through the pouch hanging from her hip. She pulled out a ration bar and tossed it to Korra.
"I thought you might be hungry." She said.
And true enough, Korra's stomach growled.
"Hehe, thanks." She said as she took a bite. The bar was frozen, but it soon softened in her mouth, it tasted like peanut butter.
Korra followed the informant and started to ask some questions.
"So…how do you know Haru?" she asked.
"We ran through the same information circles and decided to work together since we were the best in the field, though I knew his name, I went by a codename whenever we exchanged information." she answered.
"I see, so that's why he has that whole spy network going on for him. What's your codename?" Korra asked.
"Windshear."
"That sounds so cool." Korra admired.
"Thanks, I thought of it myself." The woman sounded happy at the compliment. "So, are you and Haru a…thing?" the woman sounded hesitant, but Korra didn't notice.
"Yeah he's my boyfriend." Korra smiled at the thought of Haru. Memories of the beach flashed through her mind. She hoped he was doing well in the hospital.
"Interesting." The woman stated.
They both stopped in their tracks and turned to the sound of barking. They saw a polar bear dog heading their way through the snow.
"Naga, you came looking for me. Good girl." Korra said as she stroked her polar bear dog.
Naga turned and started to growl at the axe-wielding chi-blocker, but Korra wouldn't allow that, "No Naga, she's a friend." She said to her companion who stopped growling.
"Cute, we should be able to get back faster." she commented as Korra mounted Naga.
"Yeah, hop on!" Korra said in a happy tone and the woman jumped behind her on Naga's back. They rode off through the forest.
Republic City
Tenzin, Lin, Mako, Bolin, were flying above the city on Oogi while Asami was on Toothless. They were searching the ground when they suddenly hear a howl echo below.
"That sounds like Naga! Down there!" Mako pulled Oogi into a turn. When they landed they saw Naga with not only Korra, but an Equalist!
"Korra!" Tenzin said in fear.
Lin and everyone else got into a defensive stance ready to attack the Equalist. Korra got off Naga and held her arms in the air to stop them.
"Whoa! Hold on she a friend!"
"A friend?" Asami asked as she got off Toothless. Everyone else was confused.
"She's the police informant that was working with Haru."
Everyone seemed to calm down, Lin stepped forward narrowing her eyes at the supposed informant.
"Who are you?" Lin asked skeptically. The informant got off from Naga and stepped forward with a bow.
"I'm Agent Windshear." The woman responded. Lin growled in impatience.
"That's not what I meant! Who are you!?" Lin said angrily.
"Since you asked so nicely." The woman answered.
The Equalist took off her mask and the group looked to see a beautiful young woman with long black hair like Asami's. She was about Haru's height, a slender curvy build, she had gold eyes and wore black eyeliner.
Mako and Bolin, both blushed a little at the sight of her.
"I am Heather, it's a pleasure to see you again…Ms. Beifong." Heather said with a smirked.
