Turning the Tides
I don't own Digimon or Legend of Korra
After Korra and Sora had been found by the others, everyone returned to Air Temple Island and Korra was put in a room to rest while Asami sat by her bed holding her hand gently, meanwhile Sora was sleeping in her room with Mako on the bed beside her with his arms around her.
Tenzin walked into his room and smiled gently as he saw Pema and his three children sleeping in the bed, he sat in a chair by the bed and placed his hand on Pema's stomach and felt the baby inside kick. "Daddy…" Jinora mumbled sleepily opening her eyes to see her father which woke Pema, Meelo and Ikki up. "We waited up for you, is Korra ok?"
"Yes, she and Sora are both ok now." Tenzin said picking Ikki up as she hugged him.
"I was so scared, I thought she wasn't going to come back," she said softly.
"I'm sorry you were scared, but I promise everything is going to be ok from now on." Tenzin told her gently. Later that morning, Korra who now had some bandages around her injuries from the bomb blast was sitting at the table hungrily chowing down on the food in front of her with Sora, Mako, Bolin, Asami, Pema, Lin and Tenzin around her.
"Slow down before you choke Korra," Asami told her gently as Korra swallowed a large chunk of bread she tore off a roll and nodded.
"Ok," she said turning to Pema. "The food tastes amazing Pema, I'm finally starting to feel better." She said.
"That's a relief," Sora said resting her head on Mako's shoulder. "So, what happened when you were held prisoner by Tarrlok?" she asked her friend who cleaned her plate of food before Pema and Asami took the empty plates to the kitchen.
"Well, I took Tenzin's advice and meditated on those visions I was having, and I saw memories from Aang's life. Tarrlok isn't who he says he is, he's Yakone's son." Korra explained shocking everyone.
"That explains how he could bloodbend everyone without a full moon, but where is Tarrlok now?" Lin asked her.
"Amon captured him and took his bending." She answered.
"What?" Tenzin whispered.
"I don't know how he found us, but he did. He took Tarrlok's bending and almost captured me as well, if it wasn't for Naga, Mushu and Sora I doubt I'd be here right now." Korra replied.
"This isn't good. Amon is becoming emboldened, attacking a councilman and nearly capturing the Avatar. I fear he is entering his endgame." Tenzin said grimly, meanwhile in the kitchen Asami and Pema were cleaning the plates when Pema gasped and held her stomach.
"Pema!" Asami exclaimed in worry.
"I'm ok, the baby is just kicking really hard is all." Pema reassured her with a smile.
"Should I get Tenzin?" Asami asked her.
"No need to worry him about it, I'm sure it's nothing." Pema answered as Mako walked into the kitchen holding a teapot.
"Hey Asami, Korra wants some more tea. You want to get it for her this time?" he asked Asami who smiled and took the teapot.
"Sure," she said before filling the teapot up with water and she set it on the stove to boil, she noticed Mako's expression. "Are you ok?" she asked him.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Mako asked leaning against the counter, Pema who saw the look between them both gently took the teapot from Asami once she took it off the stove.
"I'll go take this to Korra for you," she said gently.
"Thanks Pema," Asami replied as the pregnant woman left the kitchen and Asami turned her full attention to Mako.
"You've been more overprotective of Sora than usual. What's wrong?" she asked and he sighed.
"When Lin told us that Amon took Korra and Sora I thought my world was about to end. I thought I wouldn't see Sora again. I was scared, really scared that I lost her. When her father was here, he asked me to look out for Sora. I thought I let him, Sora, and her family down. I thought that I failed. So, when we found her and Korra, I was so relieved to see that she was okay, that Korra was okay. I don't want to lose her again and feel so helpless like that again." he answered.
Asami smiled softly at him and hugged him and he hugged his friend back. "I know how you feel, when Korra was kidnapped I was so worried. But they're both back now and they're alright." She told him.
"Yeah, but I'll feel a lot better once we take down Amon." Mako said making Asami laugh.
"Agreed." She said and both left the kitchen. A few minutes later, Tenzin and Lin walked into the courtyard where Oogi was and Tenzin turned to his friend.
"Lin, I have a favour to ask you. I know it's a lot to ask on short notice, and it may seem awkward…but I uh…" he said nervously making Lin sigh.
"Oh spit it out already Twinkle Toes, what is it?" she asked him.
"Will you please watch over Pema and the children for me? With everything that's happened recently, I would like to know that my children are in safe hands while I meet with the other council members." He answered.
"Of course, I'll look after them old friend," Lin said with a smile and Tenzin nodded before he saw Pema walk into the courtyard with Meelo in her arms.
"Oh so here you two are," she said with a frown.
"Pema, Lin has agreed to stay and help with things around here." Tenzin told his wife who nodded.
"Good, she can give Meelo a bath. He's filthy." Pema said handing Meelo over to Lin who blinked and held Meelo as far from her as she could.
"I did not sign up for this." She told Tenzin who climbed onto Oogi.
"Thank you Lin, Oogi, Yip Yip." The Airbending said and his Sky Bison flew off heading for Republic City, Lin groaned and looked at Meelo who was picking his nose.
"I gotta poo, really bad." He said with a grin before he scrunched up his and Lin's eyes widened before she ran off to the bathroom before Meelo could soil himself.
A few minutes later Oogi landed on the roof of City Hall and Tenzin took notice of the three men cleaning the glass dome as he walked past, he narrowed his eyes before his beard stood on end and he ducked as an electrified bolo narrowly missed him, he spun around as the three men jumped off the glass dome and two threw ropes at his wrists while the third tried to kick him in the face but he leaned back and began spinning around creating a tornado of air beneath him and the two Equalists holding onto the ropes were spun around before they lost their grip and landed on the opposite building's roof while the third was sent flying into the wall and was knocked out.
"I'm so relieved to see you alright sir," Tenzin turned to see the assistant to the council running onto the rooftop.
"The other council members, are they alright?" he asked.
"I'm afraid not, I just received a report from Chief Saikhan, they've all been kidnapped. The leadership of Republic City is in your hands now." The assistant told Tenzin before explosions began happening throughout the city as a fleet of Equalist airships began to float over the city.
"This can't be happening," Tenzin whispered shocked at what he was seeing while at Air Temple Island Lin and the three Airbending kids also couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Alright you three, time to go inside." Lin told the kids who nodded and headed inside as Sora, Korra, Asami, Mako and Bolin ran out.
"What's going on?" Sora asked looking at Republic City to see the Equalist airships dropping more bombs on the city.
"Republic City is under attack," Lin answered, the five friends shared a look and ran to the dock and took a boat across the bay.
"Where did you say you parked the car?" Asami asked once the boat had docked and they got off.
"It's right over there," Korra answered pointing to the car which she had crashed into a lamp post and it had several parking tickets on the windshield.
"Wow…nice parking." Sora told her friend as they ran to the car.
"I made it quite clear I can't drive," Korra replied with a pout.
"When this is all over I'll teach you," Asami told her kissing her cheek making her blush. "But are you sure you're up for this, you're still hurt."
"A few scratches and bruises won't stop me." Korra reassured her, Sora grabbed the parking tickets and burnt them to ash in her hands making Bolin's eyes widen and he gasped.
"We've got bigger problems then stupid parking tickets, let's ride." She said jumping into the back seat along with Mako and Bolin, Asami and Korra got into the front of the car and they sped off to fight the Equalists.
In another part of Republic City at the Police Station, the situation wasn't good in the command room. "Chief, Air Patrol Unity 7 just crashed into the harbour engaging an Equalist Airship." One person told Saikhan.
"Send a rescue unit at once." Saikhan told him.
"Chief, the rescue unit boats have all been sabotaged," another person replied and Saikhan punched the desk.
"Tell the closet team to the crashed airship to commandeer a civilian vessel and go." He ordered. "Did you send that wire to the General of the United Forces yet?" he asked another person.
"Yes sir, I sent it the moment you told me." They replied as Tenzin ran into the room and Saikhan sighed in relief.
"I'm glad to see you weren't captured Tenzin, it's utter bedlam here. Equalists have attacked all areas in the city, I'm trying to counter everywhere but we're spread too thin." He told him.
"I see, I need to send a wire." Tenzin said.
"If you mean to send one to him, I've already done it." Saikhan told the Airbending master who nodded.
"Chief, the phone line just went dead." Someone told Saikhan as an alarm blared briefly before the power went out.
"They're hitting us next," Saikhan said taking out a flashlight and tossing it to Tenzin before grabbing another one and both looked around the dark room as gas began to pour in through the vents.
"Saikhan, the vents!" Tenzin shouted and the chief of police closed the vents with Metalbending, but more gas began to pour in from under the door. "Everyone stay close to me, we have to evacuate." Tenzin told everyone in the room and soon they were walking through the hallways of the police station with Tenzin creating a dome of air around the group, so they could breath.
They made it outside the building only to be surrounded by six Mecha Tanks all equipped with giant magnets, three of the Mecha Tanks held their magnet arms out and the Metalbenders including Saikhan were pulled towards them and then thrown into a truck, Tenzin sent gusts of air at the Mecha Tanks knocking them back as they moved towards him and the other people behind him, he kicked away several cables fired by the Mecha Tanks until one hit him and threw him into the wall and he then landed hard and fell unconscious.
The Mecha Tanks advanced towards him until Sora and the others came screaming around the corner in their car, Bolin made a ramp of earth and everyone jumped out of the car as it ran up the ramp and crashed into two Mecha Tanks destroying them in explosions.
"Tenzin!" Sora shouted seeing Tenzin get tossed into another truck by Chi-Blockers and she ran over before a Mecha Tank got in her way, she drew her meteor blade swords and sliced the Mecha Tank's legs and arms off with ease, another fired its claw at her and the cable became electrocuted making her grit her teeth, she grabbed the cable and redirected the electricity back at the tank as a bolt of lightning shorting out the tank before it exploded sending chunks of metal everywhere.
Korra melted two piles of snow into large streams of water and she jumped into the air behind another Mecha Tank and forced the water into the exhaust pipes behind the tank causing it to seize up and Bolin knocked the tank over with his Earthbending.
Asami ran over to the truck that held Tenzin and the Chi-Blockers guarding moved to stop her but she dodged their strikes and using her electric glove she electrocuted all of the Chi-Blockers with ease and smirked.
"Tenzin are you ok?" Sora asked running over to help him out of the truck as Mako and Korra took down the last Mecha Tank sending it flying into a building.
"I'm fine, thank you kids. Another minute longer and I would have been on my way to Amon," Tenzin said with a smile.
"Don't celebrate just yet," Mako said making everyone look at him as he pointed back to Air Temple Island where an Equalist Airship was floating above.
"No," Tenzin whispered in worry.
"We've got to get back there." Sora said and everyone ran off towards the island. Meanwhile, Lin and Tenzin's kids were outside looking at the Airship as it launched a large cable at the island and several Chi-Blockers began zip-lining down.
"Everyone go inside and stay hidden, stay calm." Lin said before Pema shouted in anguish. "Pema, what's wrong?" she asked turning to see the woman holding her stomach.
"The baby's coming!" Pema shouted as she began sweating heavily.
"Not now baby!" Meelo shouted angry at the bad timing his new brother or sister had decided to come out.
"Get her inside now!" Lin told two Air Acolytes before running off followed as two women helped Pema inside while her kids shared a worried look. The Equalists led by the lieutenant ran up a flight of stairs onto the island, before they heard a roar as Mushu flew in and squashed three Chi-Blockers under his feet before swatting another one away with his tail, he breathed a stream of flame at the other Equalists who were sent flying by blocks of earth Lin brought out of the ground. More Chi-Blockers flipped over the dragon and headed towards Lin.
"Get off our island!" Ikki shouted heading towards the Equalists on an Air Scooter and she sent several to the ground as Jinora flew in on her glider and sent a stream of air from her staff at another Equalist sending him into a wall.
"Feel my fury!" Meelo shouted jumping off the roof and he landed butt first on an Equalist and farted a gust of wind sending the Chi-Blocker down before he began sending jets of air at the last few standing Chi-Blockers as the Lieutenant ran towards them only for Mushu to slam his foot on him and snarl baring his sharp teeth.
"Mushu no!" Jinora shouted to the dragon who looked over at her and the others before snarling and lifting his foot off the lieutenant before slamming his tail down on the Equalist rendering him unconscious for the time being.
"Good dragon," Ikki said as Mushu walked over and he purred gently. Lin smiled at the sight before she heard a growl and looked up to see Oogi approaching the island and the sky bison landed.
"Aunt Lin, thank goodness you're alright," Sora said jumping off the bison and hugging the Metalbending while Tenzin hugged his kids.
"I wouldn't be if it wasn't for Tenzin's kids," Lin said with a smile before looking at her old friend. "You taught them well." She said and Tenzin smiled with pride. "Now go and be with your wife," she told him and he ran off inside the Air Temple and heard his newborn child for the first time.
"Pema," he said waking into the room and he saw his wife holding their new child in her arms. "I'm here,"
"It's a boy," Pema whispered as she handed her newborn son to Tenzin who looked down at his son who had green eyes just like his mother.
"Hello there," he said softly before he and Pema saw their other children standing by the door. "Kids, come and say hello to your new brother."
"A brother, about time." Meelo said with a smile as he jumped onto the bed with his sisters as their new brother cooed and looked at them.
"What're you going to name him, can I pick?" Jinora asked her parents.
"We already picked out a name," Pema answered gently.
"Rohan," Tenzin said with a smile as Sora, Korra and Mako walked into the room with Lin and smiled at the scene.
"I hate to ruin the moment, but more airships are coming." Sora said grimly. "You guys need to leave now, if Amon captures you he'll put on a big show about taking your bending." She told them and Tenzin nodded and a few minutes later they finished loading supplies onto Oogi and another Sky Bison.
"I'm going with you," Lin told Tenzin who was about to object. "You and your family are the last of the Airbenders, I won't let Amon be the one to wipe them out." She said sternly.
"Alright," he replied stepping aside as Lin climbed onto Oogi as Sora pulled Tenzin into a hug.
"Be safe Tenzin, try to make for the Fire Nation. My parents can help," she told him.
"I'll try, Saikhan managed to contact the United Forces, a fleet is on the way." Tenzin said making her eyes widen.
"My brother's coming?" she asked.
"Yes, General Iroh is coming." Tenzin answered with a smile.
"Brother?" Mako asked Sora who nodded.
"Yep, my older brother. Iroh the second, named after my great great Uncle Iroh." She told him.
"Great, get to meet your brother. Not how I planned to meet him though," Mako muttered causing Sora to giggle and kiss his cheek.
"Don't worry he's gonna love you." She told him.
"Tenzin, if you want to leave do it now." Korra told Tenzin as she saw the other airships heading towards the island.
"Alright, Korra you and the others need to go and lay low for a while. I'll return once my family is safe." Tenzin told her.
"You want us to be patient and wait for a better time to act?" Korra asked and Tenzin nodded with a smile.
"You're learning well." He answered making Korra smile. Tenzin jumped onto Oogi and he flew off with the other Sky Bison following them, Sora climbed onto Mushu with Mako while Bolin and Asami jumped onto Naga with Korra and both animals ran off.
"Moustache guy!" Bolin shouted seeing the lieutenant who had recovered from Mushu's tail whack and he jumped off a cliff towards the group only for Sora to fire a bolt of lightning from her fingertips at the Equalist hitting him and he screamed as he was electrocuted, he then fell down a cliff and landed with a thud in some bushes.
"Nice shot." Korra told her friend who nodded, Naga and Mushu ran to the pier and jumped into the water and Korra bent a large bubble around the two animals allowing them to breath as the two animals swam away.
Meanwhile Oogi continued flying as fast as he could with two Equalist Airships gaining on them. "They're gaining on us!" Lin shouted as one airship fired a net at the bison, but Lin used her metal cable to cut the net in pieces and she wrapped her cable around the net. "Whatever happens to me, don't turn back." she told Tenzin who turned to see her jump off the bison and she pulled herself up to the airship.
"Lin!" Tenzin shouted in worry. He watched as she ripped a large chunk of the airship apart causing part of it to explode and it began falling to the sea, Lin then used her Metalbending to jump off the falling airship on to the second one, as she began ripping the second airship apart an Equalist jumped out of a hatch and threw a bolo at her wrapping her arm and she fell down as it electrocuted her into unconsciousness.
"That lady is my hero," Meelo said as he and the others watched the second airship turn and head back to Republic City.
"Yes, she is." Tenzin whispered as Oogi continued to fly off. Back at Republic City, Sora and the others were standing at the entrance of a sewer drain looking at Republic City as the Airships continued arriving at the Air Temple Island.
"Amon is going to pay for all of this." Sora whispered and the others nodded walking off further down the sewer drain.
Later that night at Air Temple Island, Lin was brought to her knees in front of Amon and she glared at the terrorist with defiance. "Tell me where the Avatar and Princess Sora are, and I will let you keep your bending." Amon told her.
"I'll tell you nothing you monster." Lin replied.
"Very well," Amon said walking behind Lin and he placed his thumb to her forehead and Lin's eyes widened as Amon took her bending away and she slumped to the ground as Amon smirked behind his mask.
The next morning the United Forces Fleet was making its way to Republic City. "General Iroh, Princess Sora's just sent us a telegram. How do you wish to respond?" a solider said running over to the man standing on the deck of the lead battleship.
"Tell my sister that we will be there in three days' time and that I look forward to winning Republic City together with her and the Avatar. Also mention that I can't wait to meet this Mako that she's been dating in person." General Iroh the Second replied and the soldier nodded and ran off back to the communications room as the fleet of battleships continued its journey to Republic City.
