"You are crazy. You need to get yourself checked." Iroh started approaching Mako. Mako took a big gulp. "You are sick Iroh. You just witness crew in a gore and bloody mess." Iroh pushed his chest against Mako's. Iroh guided Mako all the way back to the round table. Iroh had his torso pressed tight into Mako's. A sheet of paper couldn't fit in between their bodies. Iroh had his face so close Mako's. Iroh had his lips so close to Mako's.

"So how about it?" Iroh asked. They had just done it a few minutes ago, Mako thought. How Iroh could still have it in him, Mako thought. Mako knew he didn't have it in himself; however, Mako was still going to try. Mako surrendered. Mako bends backwards resting on the round table. The round table where it all started. Iroh pressing in tight to Mako. Chest to chest. Groin to groin. Mako could not resist. Mako nods his head in approval. When Mako nodded his head in approval Iroh swiftly stood up and continued his search for the certain panel. Mako with his eyes closed, stayed on the round table. Iroh shuffled through papers. Mako realized what he was hearing and opened his eyes.

"Uhmm. What are you doing?" Mako asked in confusion

"Proving a point." Iroh answer back

"The point being?"

"I can resist you."

Mako's jaw drops in disbelief and awe. Mako's mouth was wide open. Mako simply couldn't believe the tease, the turn of events, and the deception. Iroh finds the panel. He turns around to find Mako with his mouth wide open. "Mako close your mouth. I already told you we are not doing anything!" Iroh mocks him.

Iroh and Mako headed to the ladder and climbed it up to the deck. Iroh notices two boats surrounding the ship. Mako send four waves of flames to pirates that were nearing Bolin. An earthbender can't do much on a metal ship. Iroh was sending rays of lightning to the pirate boats that surrounded his ship. His aim was rough but still effective. Korra would send streams of water left and right. Tenzin, Jinora and Kai were slicing wind and blowing pirates off the deck. Mako was defending Bolin. Iroh was defending Asami. All Asami had was her towel. It seems she came up for the pool afterwards. Team Avatar was succeeding. All was looking good until, Boom, the ship suffers yet another hit, blown from a pirate cannons. The ship was in bad shape. The ship began to sink. The remaining crew was throwing themselves overboard. The crew. The pirates. Even Team Avatar. Except for Iroh. Korra and Asami had jumped in. Tenzin, Kai, and Jinora had jumped in. Mako and Bolin were running to the edge. Mako stops and notices Iroh in the center of the starboard. Bolin jumps in without Mako. The ship was closing in the mouth of the sea. "General Iroh! C'mon!" Mako yells out. Iroh remained silent. Iroh had a blank stare on his face. "Mako jump!" Bolin yells out. Mako stared at Iroh. Mako wanted to shout to Iroh. Words couldn't come out of Mako's mouth. Mako came to understand Iroh's petrification. Mako wanted to pick Iroh up and force him overboard. Mako could see from Iroh's face that Iroh wasn't going to leave his ship behind. Mako turns around and looked for water to dive in. Mako felt a tenderness in his heart. For Iroh it was just physical but for Mako it did get emotional.

Team Avatar was in the water. Everyone tried swimming to land. Land was too far away. Korra enters the Avatar state. Korra brandishes the water and launches herself out of the water and creates a piece of frozen plot on her way down. Everyone climbs on top of it. Korra twirls her arms slowly, bending the water, and shifting the waving to move her piece of frozen plot. She guides the plot and heads for the closes land she could see. An afforested land in what looks like the Foggy Swamp. Mako looks back at the ship and watches the water create a vacuum and consuming it whole. Mako knowing that Iroh went down with the ship. Mako feels a heaviness in his heart.

On the sinking ship

"Maybe I should have paid more attention to the travel route. Sigh. The very pirates I was trying to avoid were the pirates I ran into. Sigh. Maybe I should've listened to Mei Li when I had the chance. Sigh Maybe I should have fooled less with Mako. Sigh. It is true. I simply could not resist." Lastly said Iroh.
