Water.

Earth.

Fire.

When I was 16, I learned that I could control all three elements, and that it was my duty to keep the world in harmony and balance.

But before I could do that, I had to learn to control the final mystical fourth element: Air. But those who know of it died a long time ago.

The chief of my tribe told me that someone still lives who knows the art of Airbending, but he lived in Republic City, where crime and hate for the benders grow strong.

So I journeyed to the city, hoping to find the last piece of my destiny.

I am Avatar Korra, and I am ready to take on the world.


*crack*

The Fire Nation ship breaks through the ice and arrives to the Southern Water Tribe.

The front gate opens, and Fire Nation soldiers walk down.

"She's back!"

"She's back!"

"Korra's back!"

Korra steps out of the ship, glad to be back to her home.

"Korra! Did you learn Firebending?" ask her young admirers.

"More than that." says Korra.

She unleashes lightning into the sky!

The tribe cheers in excitement and awe!


The angry mob yells in anger and hatred!

Korra and Meelo run towards a dead end.

It has a building under construction, it's steel girders still visible.

"What now!" says Meelo.

Korra looks at the building.

"We are going to have to take the elevator!" says Korra.

He grabs Meelo, and Earthbends a column under them, launching them on top of the steel girders.

"Whoa,whoa,whoa!" yells Meelo, losing his balance on the thin steel slab, but Jorra grabs him before they could fall.

"Thank you, Korra." says Meelo, but Korra is already moving to the upper girders.

The angry mob gets to the base of the building.

"They are up there!" yells an angry man.

Korra and Meelo hop from girder to girder until they reach the top of the building.

They have nowhere else to go now.

An angry citizen commanders a crane holding a steer girder, and sends it towards Korra and Meelo!

"Looks like we are about to get hit with something…" says Korra.

Korra Earthbends the street in front of them to rise up and create a walkway for them to run to the next buildingtop!

Korra and Meelo run out of there before the steel girder smashes into the top of the building, sending it crumbling down!

The angry mob run away from the crumbling architecture!

"They got away!" says an angry person.

The mob stops shouting, and disappointed, they walk home.


"Chief?" asks Korra as she enters the tent for the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe.

"Welcome back Korra!" says the Chief.

"I have learned to bend all the elements, except one." says Korra.

"I know." says the Chief with a sad tone, as she sits down in front of Korra.

"How will I learn to bend Air?" asks Korra.

"I don't know if you can." says the Chief.

"But you know someone that can teach me!" says Korra.

"He and I are no longer in touch." says the Chief.

"But you must tell me where he is." says Korra.

The Chief thinks it over, and finally agrees.

"I'll tell where he lives." says the Chief. "But he left for a reason."


Korra and Meelo run over rooftops after rooftop.

"I think we left them eating our dust, literally." says Meelo.

"Alright." says Korra.

They stop running and take a breather on top of a building.

"So, you are the Avatar, huh?" says Meelo. "What brings you to Republic City?"

"I have to master my last element." says Korra.

"You seem to know all of them." says Meelo.

"Not air." says Korra.

"Air? Good luck with that! There's no such thing as Airbenders anymore. They died out a long time ago, I think it was like in the War." says Meelo.

"Yeah, they did." says Korra, disappointed.

"So what are you going to do?" asks Meelo.

"I…don't know. For the first time in my life, I don't know what to do next." says Korra.


"Sir, there was a riot on the Southern side of the city this morning." said the Mayor's assistant.

"A riot?" said Mayor Sho. "About what?"

"They were chasing some benders." said the assistant.

"Benders, huh? What did they do this time?" said Mayor Sho.

"The riot was for a robbery committed earlier in the morning by a gang of benders, which ended up in the deaths of two unidentified civilians." said the assistant.

"Unbelievable. They have to be stopped." said Mayor Sho.

"I agree, sir. But we can't just make bending illegal. Not without a probable cause." says the assistant.

"Two people are dead in a robbery." says Mayor Sho.

"But that isn't enough to banish benders." says the assistant.

"We will have to make our own probable cause." says Mayor Sho.

"Our own?" says the assistant.

"I can't let this happen again, and I will stop it in any way I can. I protect the people!" says the Mayor. "We are going to have to frame them…."


Korra and Meelo chill at the Jasmine Dragon.

"So how are you going to get your friends out of jail?" says Korra, drinking tea.

"I'll think of something." says Meelo, still very stressed.

"Calm down." says Korra.

"How can you be calm? We were just being chased!" says Meelo.

"It's important to stay calm at all times. You get your emotions get a hold of you, you lose your way." says Korra.

"Yeah, but not all of us are the Avatar, girl!" says Meelo.

"Doesn't matter, it should work fine for anyone." says Korra.

"Yeah, well, most people's lives are too busy for that kind of thing." says Meelo.

"That's not true, it just seems that way because the other stuff just seems more interesting to us." says Korra.

"So, you traveled all over the world, all the nations, learning the elements, meeting people, going in adventures, and this is your final challenge, the big city?" says Meelo.

"Pretty much." says Korra.

"Shame about there being no-one to teach you Airbending." says Meelo.

"Yeah." says Korra, while sipping on her tea, secretly spying over Meelo's shoulder to see Tenzin also sitting in the shop on a table, also drinking tea.


"She was a great leader, with a great life." says a speaker.

It is the funeral for the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe.

Korra and the rest of the tribe mourn her as she is covered up in the traditional hide.

"I promise you, I will find him." says Korra.


Tenzin walks to his apartment alone.

He finds Korra in his front door, waiting for him.

"You again!" says Tenzin.

"Maybe you don't want to be my Airbending Master, maybe you don't believe in me, or what your heritage represented, but I thought you should know." says Korra.

"Know what, Miss 'I am the Avatar'?" says Tenzin in a very dry mood.

"Your mother has passed away." says Korra.


The tomb of the Chief lay in the snow.

Chief Katara of the Southern Water Tribe

谁带来了部落回到生活。

"What will you do now?" asks her friend.

"I am going to go to Republic City, and try to bring him back to what he could have been." says Korra.

"What about learning Airbending?" asks her friend.

"Some things are just….more important." says Korra.


"It's true, isn't it? You are the Avatar." says Tenzin. "I have to teach your Airbending."

Korra looks down.

"I…can't." says Tenzin.

"Why not?" says Korra.

"My father thought me everything he knew. But there's one problem…." says Tenzin.

Korra looks at him.

"I can't Airbend." says Tenzin.
