OPENING:

SHIRO SHINOBI (V.O.)
Zaheer has been unleashed! After

traveled across the Spirit World,
but to no avail. They later engaged
in a conversation with the
airbending menace, Zaheer, only to

the Fog of Lost Souls and is
attacking Jinora in an act of rage.
Will Korra be able to escape her
prison and save Jinora before it's
too late?!

BOOK FIVE: PEACE

CHAPTER TEN: SPIRITUAL AMENDMENTS

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / FOREST

Jinora runs through the forest in terror as the surroundings are dark and menacing. She hides behind a tree heavily panting and hyperventilating. She slowly looks around the tree only finding a clear path.

She looks back in front. Zaheer is right in front of her with a menacing expression.

She screams and blasts wind in front of her only to have him disappear. She hears an echo of laughter over the forest. She looks from side to side completely scared.

ZAHEER (O.S.)
HA HA HA HA! I can't believe how
easy it is to take on you! When I
was facing against your father, my
allies and I had no problem beating
him to a pulp! But I'm not going
to be as merciful to you as I was
with the Earth Queen. I'm going to
make sure you have an excruciating
and painful DEATH!

Jinora screams and runs off through the forest. Zaheer continues to laugh maniacally.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / FOG OF LOST SOULS

Korra runs through the fog and stops to bend over catching her breath.

KORRA
Come on! How long is this mist?!

She spins around and airbends herself high into the air. While high up, she still sees nothing but fog. She falls and softens her landing on the ground.

KORRA (CONT'D)
No! This can't be!

She moves her hands around in circles and blasts air in all directions. The fog is blown away momentarily but immediately settles back.

She then tries to wave her arms around and waterbend, but to no effect.

KORRA (CONT'D)
It's not made of water! I don't get
it!

She holds her hands to the side of her head.

KORRA (CONT'D)
I can't be stuck here! I have to
save Jinora! She needs me. The
world needs me!
(doubtfully)
... but it doesn't need me anymore.

Her eyes widen and she starts freaking out.

KORRA (CONT'D)
AHH! What's going on?! What am I
saying?! Of course the world
needs me!... but the world is at
peace and no one needs the Avatar.
Nothing matters anymore. It's over.

She starts struggling and gripping her head harder.

KORRA (CONT'D)
AGH! UGH! NO! What's happening?!
I can't control what I'm saying!
Am I going insane?! I GOTTA GET
OUT OF HERE! AAAAHHHHH!

She screams and thrashes her arms everywhere and trows fire in all directions. She continues this and throws her fists to the side bursting out fire while she screams and breathes fire upward.

The fire she makes dies down and she holds her pose. She slowly drops down on her knees and lands on her hands. She starts to cry.

KORRA
(sobbing)
Jinora... I'm so sorry... I can't
do it... I failed you...

She sobs bitterly and moves her arms inward and cries with her head down.

As she continues to cry, a man with dark red robes and a hood approaches from behind her. He leans over and gently holds her shoulder. His voice is that of a kind young man.

WAN
(softly)
Hey... are you okay? What's the
matter?

Korra sniffles and wipes her face still looking down.

KORRA
(sobbing)
I... I'm lost... I don't know where
I am... my friend is in danger...
and it's all my fault...

He crouches next to her and holds both her shoulders comfortingly.

WAN
It's okay. Don't cry... you're just
in the Fog of Lost Souls. Lots of
people get lost in here and they
loose sight of who they are... but
I know that you will make it out.

Korra sniffles some more.

KORRA
How?

WAN
Because you're the Avatar... and
you will never loose your way. You
will always find the light within
yourself. Raava will always be with
you.

Korra turns a bit to the side.

KORRA
Who are you?

He holds her and moves her up on her feet.

WAN
Someone you know from ten thousand
years ago.

She looks up at his face and she sees what he looks like. She smiles with amazement and her eyes flood with more tears.

KORRA
Avatar Wan!

She wraps her arms around him and he hugs back warmly.

KORRA (CONT'D)
I finally found you!

WAN
It's good to see you again, Korra.

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / FOREST

Jinora holds up her hands up in an airbending stance. She fearfully treads through the forest. She turns from side to side carefully. Her breathing is hard and afraid.

Zaheer is slowly revealed to be floating above her. He dives down and she looks up right at that moment. She leaps forward as he slams his fist on the ground. He moves up a flies strait at her. She blast some air at him but he swerves around it and grabs Jinora from the middle. She screams as he speeds through carrying her outside the forest.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / FIELDS

Zaheer flies out and curves high into the air. He holds Jinora and throws her at a downward incline to the ground. As she gets close to the ground, she makes a shield of wind below her and barely lands on her feet.

Zaheer loops around in the sky and zips toward her. She creates a massive section of wind below her and rides on it along the ground. He curves right before hitting the ground and trails along chasing Jinora. She races away while turning around and throwing blasts at him only to evade them while flying.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / FOG OF LOST SOULS

Korra stands in front of Wan who puts his hood down.

KORRA
How did I find you? I've been
trying so hard to contact my past
lives. How did I do it just now?

WAN
Actually, you didn't find me. I
found you. I've been in the Fog
since your battle with Vaatu.

KORRA
Are the other Avatars here too?

WAN
Yes. We spawned here since your
connection was severed, and we've
been lost just like every other
soul here. We've been waiting for
you to finally find us.

KORRA
All this time, you've been in the
Fog of Lost Souls? I can't believe
I never thought of coming here.

WAN
(lighthearted)
It's understandable. No one really
likes being stuck in this place. I
can't blame you for not coming here
first.

KORRA
So... how do I get out of here?

Avatar Kuruk appears behind Wan.

KURUK
You must accept your identity and
purpose. Never forget who you are.
You are the Avatar.

Avatar Kyoshi appears from Korra's left behind her. Korra turns back toward her.

KYOSHI
As long as there is life, you will
be needed to maintain balance in
the world.

Avatar Roku appears from Korra's right.

ROKU
Even during times of peace, you
will always be relevant to purge
the world of darkness.

Avatar Aang appears behind Korra. She turns around to him and beams with happiness.

AANG
As long as you keep sight of the
light within you... you will
always... find the light... in the
dark.

Her smile changes to concern as she looks down. She toughens up with determination and looks at Aang.

KORRA
I need to save Jinora. Will you all
help me?

The part of the fog behind Aang is lifted and Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and all the thousands of Avatars are standing there. All their eyes light up and their spirits morph and stream right into Korra. She has her arms out as the Avatars all fly into her. She has her eyes closed as they all finish.

RAAVA (O.S.)
We are now all united.

Her eyes spring open and the light of the Avatar State glows. She holds out her arms and the fog swirls a circle surrounding her that increases rapidly in size. The entire fog vanishes and Korra is lifted into the air by her massive airbending power.

She looks over to a horizon across the Spirit World. She charges and blasts herself across the world at full speed.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / FIELDS

Jinora continues to speed away from Zaheer while attacking him with gusts. In one movement, she circles her arms around and blasts a sphere in all directions.

Zaheer flies straight into the sphere and disappears right before he touches the edge. He reappears inside and flies straight to Jinora. He grabs her and they both disappear.

They reappear next to a tree at the edge of the field. He slams her onto the ground. As she is immobile, he grabs her and holds her against the tree with one hand. He holds back his other hand as a fist.

ZAHEER
Now you will pay for ruining my
plans, Jinora of the Air Nomads.

Right as he is about to strike with his hand, Korra flies across in the Avatar state and grabs him pulling him away from his grip of Jinora who lands on her feet.

Korra still flies with Zaheer in her grasp. She flies up and holds him up with airbending to throw him straight down to the ground. He slams straight down and his spirit mostly disintegrates. He reforms and struggles to get up. Korra descends in front of him and traps him in a vortex of wind. They slowly ascend into the air.

When Korra speaks, it is as if a thousand voices are speaking at once.

KORRA
ZAHEER! YOU HAVE BROUGHT SUFFERING
AND CHAOS INTO THE WORLD! YOU WILL
NEVER AGAIN ENTER THE SPIRIT WORLD!

She circles her arms and blasts him all the way across the world. He screams as he is thrown across.

INT. ZAHEER'S PRISON

Zaheer wakes up while levitating and is thrown backwards slamming onto the ground. He sits up and growls angrily.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / FIELDS

Korra descends and turns around to face Jinora. She lands and exits out of the Avatar state. She runs up to Jinora and they both hug happily.

KORRA
Jinora! Are you all right?

JINORA
I'm okay. I knew you would save me.

KORRA
I'm just glad you're safe.

She steps back and smiles in anticipation.

KORRA (CONT'D)
Jinora... there's someone I want
you to meet...

She moves to the side and Aang is revealed behind her. Jinora gasps in amazement.

Aang looks at her and smiles warmly.

AANG
Hello, Jinora.

She steps up hesitantly and makes nervous vocal noises.

JINORA
Oh my gosh... Aang? Is it... is it
really...?

He nods still smiling.

Jinora's hands quiver as she looks up at him in complete awe and wonder.

JINORA
(stuttering)
I can't belie- I just- I can't
even- how did you- I mean... I...

Aang just simply laughs kindly.

AANG
It's great to finally meet you, my
child.

Jinora pauses nervously, then suddenly wraps her arms around him. Aang hugs her back and caresses her hair with his hands. Tears stream down her face.

JINORA
I can't believe it's you! I never
thought I would actually get to
meet you!

AANG
It's truly a wonder to see what
you've become. I couldn't be more
proud of my own granddaughter.

Korra is looking at them smiling with satisfaction.

Jinora looks up at his face.

JINORA
How come you look so young? I
thought you would be much older.

AANG
I am the way Korra remembers me
from the visions she saw of me.

She nuzzles against him with tears still in her eyes.

JINORA
I have so many questions... I don't
know where to start.

Aang wipes away her tears with his hands.

AANG
Anything you want to know, I will
answer. I have all the time in the
world.

EXT. SPIRIT WORLD / NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PORTALS

Aang walks across the blue wastelands with Jinora walking at his right and Korra at his left.

JINORA
(to Aang)
I've always wanted to know... since
you were raised by the monks and
you never knew your parents, did
you ever feel like you were missing
them? Did you feel lonely? Did you
even know who your parents were?

AANG
(happily)
It's funny you should ask that. I
never knew my parents, but I never
felt like I was an orphan. The
monks were basically my caretakers
and essentially my parents. Monk
Gyatso looked after me as a son. I
didn't really miss my parents, but
there's some part of me that was
kinda curious as to who they were.

Korra raises her hand.

KORRA
I have a question. I was always
sheltered in the South Pole for my
Avatar training as opposed to
traveling around the world. You
didn't order the White Lotus to do
that to me, did you?

AANG
(laughing)
What? Are you kidding? Of course I
didn't do that! I don't know what
was going through their minds, but
it was stupid. I am so sorry they
did that to you, Korra. Traveling
the world is the best part of any
Avatar training! I'm telling ya,
you missed out on a lot of fun
adventures!

Korra laughs happily.

KORRA
Ha ha! I'm glad you understand me.
You're so different from your son,
Tenzin. He never let me do much of
anything fun during my training.

AANG
(teasingly)
Oh, Tenzin is always like that! He
never knows when to just have fun.
Funny thing is that since I see and
experience everything you do, I
knew what it was like being
sheltered in the South Pole, and
when Tenzin was training you, it
was like he was being my father.

All three of them laugh.

They stop walking right in front of the Tree of Time.

AANG (CONT'D)
We're here.

KORRA
The Tree of Time?

JINORA
Grandpa Aang, why did you bring us
here?

AANG
I figured that if you both were
curious about my past, it would be
best if I were to just show you my
actual memories.

He walks on past them. Korra and Jinora look at each other and beam with excitement. They run up and catch up with Aang.

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / TREE OF TIME

Aang walks inside and Korra and Jinora follow and stand next to him.

KORRA
So what memories are you going to
show us, Aang?

AANG
You two are my successors. If you
are to carry on my will and lead
the world into this new age, you
must first learn some things about
your past.

The entire inside floods with images all around. They show sequences of all of Aang and his friends' journeys and adventures when he was a kid. [Sequences from the first three seasons of Avatar are shown in these memories.]

All of the memories match with Aang's words.

AANG (CONT'D)
One hundred seventy-four years ago,
the Fire Nation started a war with
the entire world and used Sozin's
Comet to wipe out my entire people.
I ran away from home and was
helpless to stop them. I entered
the Avatar state and was sealed of
from the world for one hundred
years. Raava had preserved me, and
I was woken up by Katara and Sokka.
With the help of all my new
friends, I traveled across the
world to master the elements and I
defeated the Fire Lord by the time
the comet arrived again. The war
was over. With the help of Fire
Lord Zuko, we sought to bring the
world into an era of peace and
harmony.

The memories disappear and entire surrounding changes into a bright blue sky.

Korra and Jinora gaze around in complete wonder. Aang looks back at them and smiles.

AANG
The memories I want to show, you'll
find quite interesting.

They zoom over in the sky to a village in the Southern Water Tribe.

EXT. SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE - DAY

Korra, Jinora, and Aang become blue astral projections within the memory world.

Korra and Jinora's spirits look around and the town with several houses under construction.

(JINORA)
The Southern Water Tribe!

(KORRA)
It's my hometown! But it's before
many of the places were
constructed!

She looks over to the giant palace with missing sections.

(KORRA)
Look! It's the palace!

(AANG)
This was during the time we were
rebuilding the Southern Water Tribe
as one of the great nations of the
world.

Up from above a sky bison flies in. Korra's spirit looks at it wide eyed and excited.

(KORRA)
Appa!

Appa flies over and lands in front of a certain house. Aang, age 26, leaps off of him and enters the house.

INT. KATARA'S HOUSE / PRACTICE ROOM - DAY

In a circular room, Katara, who almost 9 months pregnant, is standing and slowly bending a stream of water with several students around the room bending their own stream of water.

Aang walks into the room behind Katara. She looks behind and smiles.

KATARA
Aang! You're home!

She puts down her stream of water. She moves over to Aang and they embrace warmly.

KATARA (CONT'D)
I missed you, sweetie. Welcome
home.

AANG
I missed you too, Katara.

They look at each other and kiss.

AANG (CONT'D)
Am I interrupting you?

KATARA
Of course not. My students have
been doing well.

AANG
Then is it all right if I join you
all?

KATARA
Absolutely.

He gets into the circle with Katara and he waterbends his own stream as well as her.

INT. KATARA'S HOUSE / KITCHEN - DAY

Aang and Katara walk over to the kitchen area.

KATARA
How are things in Republic City?

AANG
It's been great. I just got
permission to create an island near
the city. I'm going to build a new
Air Temple just for our family.

KATARA
That sounds wonderful, Aang. I'm
looking forward to living there.

AANG
Do you think we can leave soon?

KATARA
I don't know. I don't think I'm
currently in a condition to travel.
I think that I might be having the
baby soon.

AANG
Speaking of which, how is the baby?

She looks down and gently moves her hand across her belly.

KATARA
It's been kicking a lot. Quite a
jumpy baby. I think this one might
just be an airbender.

AANG
Really?! Let me feel it!

He puts both of his hands on her belly and moves them around. After a moment, Katara jumps with surprise.

KATARA
Oh! I feel it! Right here!

She puts her hand on his and moves it to the front of her belly. Both of them start laughing with delight.

AANG
(laughing)
Wow! You're right! It's like a
leaping hog-monkey inside you!

They laugh for a bit. She turns her head to kiss him on the lips as he rubs her belly.

Korra, Jinora, and Aang's spirits are watching across the room. Korra and Jinora smile endearingly.

(KORRA)
It's so wonderful. You both were a
such a romantic couple.

(JINORA)
Gran Gran used to be so beautiful,
even while she was pregnant.

(AANG)
Even when I see Katara now through
Korra's eyes... she never stops
being beautiful to me.

EXT. SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE / KATARA'S HOUSE - NIGHT

During a stormy night, a White Lotus sentry walks up to the house and knocks on the door.

Katara opens the door and looks at the sentry anxiously.

KATARA
The White Lotus? Is something
wrong?

Aang walks up to the door.

SENTRY
I have some troubling news to
deliver to Avatar Aang.

He hands over a scroll to Aang who opens it up.

SENTRY (CONT'D)
One of our high ranking members,
King Bumi of Omashu... has passed
away.

Aang and Katara's eyes widen in devastation.

KATARA
(softly)
Oh no...

The sentry bows to them.

SENTRY
I am terribly sorry.

He walks away to the village.

INT. KATARA'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Katara closes the door with tears in her eyes. She looks back to see that Aang has already walked over to the kitchen.

Aang sits at a chair and pauses. Then tears start to flood to his eyes. He lays his face in his arms flat on the table and sobs quietly.

Katara sits next to him and holds his shoulders with tears still in her eyes.

KATARA
(quietly)
Aang... I'm so sorry...

He gasps, whimpers, and continues to cry while covering his face. Katara holds him closely.

(AANG) (V.O.)
On that day... I had lost the last
true friend from my childhood. He
was 125 years old. At that point, I
felt like everything I had known
from my time... was gone.

INT. KATARA'S HOUSE / BEDROOM - DAY

(AANG) (V.O.)
A few days later, our first son was
born.

Katara is holding a baby in her arms with several Water Tribe midwives around her.

Aang sits next to her and looks at his son endearingly.

(AANG) (V.O.)
We named him Bumi, after my old
friend.

EXT. SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE - DAY

Aang is flying on Appa with Katara in the saddle holding the baby.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Soon, we left the Southern Water
Tribe to start our new family in
Republic City.

EXT. REPUBLIC CITY / SHORE - DAY

Aang and Katara walk up to the edge of a shore near the developing city. They stop and look across at the enormous open bay. Katara is holding the baby.

(AANG) (V.O.)
It was there that I made our home
outside of the city grounds. So I
made an island in the bay to keep
watch as the United Republic of
Nations developed.

Aang spins and leaps into the air and onto the water. He throws his arms back and rides the water with great speed. He speeds over to a middle point and creates a vortex around his waist lifting him high up.

He closes his eyes as his tattoos glow. His eyes spring open glowing in the Avatar state. He steadily moves his arms up and raises a massive amount of land from the water. Huge waves are spread across the water as the land formation rises.

After the land mass ha appeared, he flies across and waves his arms around bending specific areas to make a balanced formation.

He slowly lands on the island and exits out of the Avatar state looking around and grinning.

AANG
Yeah... that should do it.

Several boats are seen cruising across toward the island.

(AANG) (V.O.)
On that day, I had the Air Acolytes
start construction of the temple on
our new home... Air Temple Island.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - DAY

The Acolytes are scattered all around moving equipment and wood around and building the temple framework which only is built a few stories from the ground.

Aang walks around observing the construction.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Within a few short years, we had
completed the temple.

Katara walks up to Aang holding Bumi, now 1 year old, in her arms. Aang turns to them excitedly, picks up Bumi, plays around with him and throws him high up with airbending, catches him, and repeats throwing him up as Bumi coos and laughs.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Our family was living at a time of
peace, and I was eager to rebuild
the Air Nation...

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - DAY

Katara walks into a room to see Aang leaning against the window seeming disappointed and looking outside. He sadly lowers his head into his hands.

(AANG) (V.O.)
... but when Bumi was 3 years old,
we realized that he was not a
bender, and my dream for the new
Air Nation had become more distant.

Katara walks over him concerned and puts her hand on his arm. He doesn't look at her and slowly walks away and out of the room. Katara tears up while looking at him walking away.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / HALLWAY - DAY

As Aang is walking down the hall, 3-year-old Bumi runs up to him laughing playfully. Aang doesn't notice him and keeps on walking. Bumi stops and looks at him seeming confused.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / COURTYARD - DAY

Aang is sitting on the short stairs next at the walkway looking saddened. Bumi runs up to his side and cuddles up with him.

Aang looks over at him and pauses for a moment. He then smiles and grabs him playfully. He laughs along with his son.

(AANG) (V.O.)
But despite his shortcoming, Bumi
was still my son, and he meant the
world to me.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / FIELD - DAY

Aang, now 30, is running around with Bumi, age 4, chasing each other around and playing. Katara watches them with content while she is pregnant.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Even though Bumi wasn't an
airbender, I could still see the
spirit of airbending in him. For
the first time in my life, I saw
myself... and I was a normal kid...
just like I had always wanted.

Bumi runs up to Katara and hugs her with his head next to her belly. Aang walks up to them as well.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / BEDROOM - NIGHT

Katara is sitting in a chair holding her baby girl. Aang leans right next to her, and Bumi steps up next to them to look at the baby.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Not long after that, we had our
baby girl, Kya; named after
Katara's late mother.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / KITCHEN - DAY

Katara is giving baby Kya a bath in the sink and playing with her happily.

(AANG) (V.O.)
We later found out that Kya was a
waterbender, but I didn't mind
that. It made sense that Katara
should have a successor of her own.

Aang walks up to them and plays with Kya as well. Kya abruptly sneezes and the waters from the sink sprays everywhere. Aang and Katara are covered in soap bubbles and they laugh.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / TABLE ROOM - DAY

Aang, Katara, and Kya, age 4, walk into the room up to the table. Katara is pregnant and holding Kya's hand. Bumi, age 7, runs through the door excitedly, but then trips over and falls on his arms.

Katara turns around frantically and crouches next to Bumi to pick him up.

KATARA
Bumi, be careful! You'll end up
hurting yourself!

BUMI
(happily)
Who me? Nah! I'm indestructible!

AANG
(chuckling)
You sure are, son.

Aang and Bumi sit on one side, and Katara and Kya on the other. Katara gasps slightly and looks at her belly. She smiles and feels it.

KATARA
Kya! Quickly! Your baby brother is
moving!

Kya excitedly moves over and puts her head against Katara's belly. After a brief moment, she smiles brightly.

KYA
YAY! HE MOVED! HE MOVED!

BUMI
About time! He never moves!

AANG
Hold on a second, Katara. How do
you even know it's even a boy?

KATARA
(teasingly)
Oh... mother's intuition.

BUMI
I bet he's going to be an airbender
like Dad.

Kya gasps and looks up at Katara hopeful.

KYA
(excited)
He's going to be an airbender?

KATARA
Now, now, kids, we don't know for
sure whether he is an airbender.

AANG
Really? What ever happened to your
intuition?

KATARA
(sarcastically)
Oh "ha ha". Very funny, Aang.

She looks at both kids.

KATARA (CONT'D)
Look. I know we all want the new
baby to be an airbender, but we
can't keep our hopes too high. Even
if he's not, we still have to love
as a member of our family.

Kya pouts sadly.

KYA
But... I still am going to be a big
sister... right?

Katara giggles and cuddles with Kya.

KATARA
That's right, Kya. You are going to
be a big sister!

BUMI
(to Aang)
But he has to be an airbender...
right, Dad?

Aang considers for a moment.

AANG
You know what, Bumi? I think you
might just be right.

He stand up and walks over to Katara and Kya.

AANG (CONT'D)
It's a slim chance, but I think
this might just be it. It's about
time we have a new airbender in our
family.

He crouches next to Kya and kisses her on the forehead.

KYA
So... he is gonna be an airbender?

Aang nods happily.

AANG
Yes, Kya... I guarantee it.

Kya jumps up and down excitedly.

KYA
YAY! HE'S AN AIRBENDER!

Katara laughs and smiles.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - DAY

The whole family poses for a photograph in front of a camera and photographer. Aang and Katara are standing next to each other with Bumi standing at Aang's right. Kya is standing on a small table in front of them and Katara is holding a baby in her arms.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Soon, my son Tenzin was born. He
seemed like my last hope for the
future of airbenders... and at
first... I thought it was lost.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / COURTYARD - SUNSET

Aang is standing out in the middle of the courtyard looking off at Republic City. He sighs sadly and looks down.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Tenzin was different from my other
children. He was quiet and not very
active, and he showed no signs of
airbending.

Tenzin, age 3 with short black hair, peers out from behind a pole on the porch. He looks over at Aang looking concerned. He steps out onto the stairs. Suddenly he trips over and screams.

Aang turns back terrified and runs over.

AANG
TENZIN!

Right as Tenzin is about to fall face first on the stairs. He waves his arms and blows himself back up with air and tumbles back on the porch.

Aang runs up to him with a shocked expression. Tenzin looks up at him confused.

TENZIN
Daddy? What happened?

Aang slowly starts to brighten up with sheer excitement and joy. He starts to laugh and get progressively more excited.

AANG
(stammering)
I-I can't believe it! You're-
You're an AIRBENDER!

He picks him up and continues laughing with joy. Tenzin smiles back at him. Aang looks over to the side.

AANG
KATARA! BUMI! KYA! COME QUICK!
TENZIN IS AN AIRBENDER.

Katara runs up with Bumi, age 10, and Kya, age 7, next to her. She smiles and with excitement.

KATARA
OH MY GOSH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

She runs up to Aang and Tenzin and hugs them. Bumi and Kya join with their group hug.

(AANG) (V.O.)
From that moment on, my life had
changed and I was no longer the
last airbender. Anything was
possible at that point.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / FIELD - DAY

Aang is speeding around on an air scooter with Tenzin on his shoulders. Both of them laugh as they speed around in circles.

Bumi sees them and runs up excitedly, but as he gets closer to them, they speed off in a different direction not noticing him.

(AANG) (V.O.)
However, my enthusiasm for Tenzin
caused me to ignore my other
children. I'm sorry to say that I
never found time for them any more.

Bumi looks down with disappointment as Sokka walks up to him and holds his shoulder.

SOKKA
Hey kid, why the long face?

Bumi looks up at Sokka and starts to tear up a bit.

BUMI
Uncle Sokka... Dad never plays with
me any more. It's because I'm not
an airbender. I wish I was too.

He looks down and wipes his face sniffling briefly.

Sokka gesture teasingly and limps his wrist.

SOKKA
(teasingly)
Pfft! Let them blow all the air
they want! You don't want to join
their pointless bending games.
There's nothing fun about it.

He crouches on his knee and turns Bumi toward him.

SOKKA (CONT'D)
I'll let you in on a secret that
all benders never tell us non-
benders... We can do anything a
bender can.

Bumi brightens up with hope at Sokka.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / COURTYARD - DAY

(AANG) (V.O.)
Several years later, when Tenzin
was 8, he was ready for me to start
his nomadic training.

Tenzin, age 8 with no hair, peers out from the door skeptically. He then walks out on the courtyard. Kya, age 12, jumps out at him and startles him.

KYA
(mocking)
Hey, mister airbender! Looks like
Dad finally shaved your head. You
always did act like an old man. Now
you look like one too!

He holds back and pouts.

TENZIN
(annoyed)
I'm not an old man, Kya. It's an
airbender tradition.

KYA
Since Dad is finally teaching you
airbending, how 'bout we have a
rematch?

She bends out the water from her pouch.

KYA (CONT'D)
Bet I won't water-whip your butt
this time!

TENZIN
No! Leave me alone!

He sternly walks away up to the porch. Bumi, age 15, jumps off the roof and stands in his way.

BUMI
(mocking)
What? You're too chicken to fight a
girl?!

TENZIN
No! Airbenders are not supposed to
fight anyone!

BUMI
You know you're never gonna master
airbending if you don't fight. And
if you don't master airbending,
Dad's gonna take away your bending
forever!

He holds up his thumb near Tenzin's forehead. Tenzin dodges runs the other way frightened.

TENZIN
AHH! STOP! DON'T SAY THAT!

Aang sternly walks up to the three kids from outside.

AANG
Kya! Bumi! Knock it off!

Tenzin runs up to Aang's side looking scared.

AANG (CONT'D)
Stop making fun of your brother!
You know how sensitive he is.

Tenzin looks up to Aang with a fearful expression.

TENZIN
Dad! Bumi said you would take away
my airbending if I don't get better
at it!

Tenzin glares up at Bumi intensely. Bumi shrugs indifferently.

BUMI
Come on. It was only a joke.

AANG
(angrily)
Bumi! That's not funny! Do you both
realize how important Tenzin is?!
He represents the future of an
entire culture, and you're just
putting him down by making him
afraid of failure?! SHAME ON YOU!

He kindly kneels down in front Tenzin.

AANG (CONT'D)
(softly)
Come on, Tenzin. We need to start
packing.

He looks over to Kya and Bumi sternly.

AANG (CONT'D)
You two, get back in the temple.

He gets up and walks away with Tenzin. As they are walking, Tenzin looks back at his siblings. Kya sticks out her tongue and Bumi makes a goofy face. Then they both walk inside.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / FIELD - SUNSET

Aang finishes up packing on Appa and leaps down to Katara and Tenzin. He hugs Katara and kisses her. Katara kneels down to Tenzin and smiles with a tear in her eye.

KATARA
You look just like your father when
I found him in the iceberg. I know
that you will soon be an airbending
master just like him.

She hugs him endearingly and he starts to tear up.

KATARA (CONT'D)
I'll miss you so much, Tenzin.

TENZIN
(sadly)
I'll miss you too, Mom.

She lets go and he climbs up on Appa. Aang leaps up in front and whips the reigns.

AANG
Appa, yip-yip!

Appa takes off as Katara, Bumi, Kya, and the rest of the Air Acolytes wave at them.

Tenzin waves back with tears in his eyes.

(AANG) (V.O.)
That day, we set off on his long
training. We traveled all across
the world as well as back home. It
was a hard time for Tenzin to
leave.

EXT. SOUTHERN AIR TEMPLE - DAY

Appa flies in toward the Southern Air Temple with Aang and Tenzin riding on him.

(AANG) (V.O.)
We traveled to all the Air Temples
so that Tenzin could learn his
history and culture. Our first stop
was my old home in the Southern Air
Temple.

They land on a platform high up in the temple next to a statue. Aang jumps off the side of Appa and lands softly. He looks up at Tenzin.

AANG
(enthusiastically)
Come on, Tenzin! You can jump off,
can't you?

TENZIN
But what if I hurt myself again?

AANG
You can do it. I believe in you.

Tenzin hesitates for a moment, then jumps off. He bends some air underneath him with his hands, but is momentarily caught off balance.

TENZIN
(falling over)
Whoa- UH! AHH! OOF!

He lands face first on the ground. Aang walks up and lifts him on his feet.

AANG
That was much better. I think
you're getting the hang of it.

TENZIN
(disappointed)
Dad, why am I so bad at airbending?

AANG
(chuckling)
Tenzin, you're not bad at
airbending. You just need more
practice. There's nothing wrong
with that. Even I didn't master all
the elements instantly.

He stands up and walks up to the statue.

AANG (CONT'D)
This man here... was my teacher,
Monk Gyatso. He taught me
everything I know about airbending
and our culture. And now I'm going
to pass down his wisdom... to you.

Aang turns around and walks up to the railing and Tenzin walks up next to him. They look across at the Air Acolytes all around the temple and the sky bison and lemurs flying around.

AANG (CONT'D)
Look at all of this... my son. One
day, we will no longer be the last
airbenders, and the temples will
once again be filled with people of
our kind. Your descendants will be
the new Air Nomads, and you will
lead them into the new age.

Tenzin looks up at Aang concerned.

TENZIN
Dad, if you're an airbender, why
can't you lead the Air Nation?

AANG
Because as the Avatar, my duty is
to the entire world and to every
nation. Your duty is to restore our
people.

He tilts his head slightly downward.

AANG (CONT'D)
One day, I will no longer be in
this life.

He looks down to the side at Tenzin.

AANG (CONT'D)
When that time comes, I need you to
instruct the new Avatar in
airbending and keep the cycle
alive.

Tenzin looks down worried.

TENZIN
But what if I fail?... What if I
can't bring back the airbenders?

Aang puts his hand on Tenzin's shoulder.

AANG
I know how you feel, my son. I also
felt pressure when I first had to
be the Avatar and fulfill my
responsibilities to the world...
It's a curse we both share.

He kneels down next to him, smiles and looks into his eyes.

AANG (CONT'D)
But, I have no doubt that you will
one day be strong enough to take on
your responsibilities and protect
the world.

Tenzin looks at Aang hopefully.

TENZIN
Do you really think I can do it?

Aang nods his head.

AANG
You will. I have complete faith in
you.

Tenzin smiles and they both continue to look out at the temple.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Despite my encouragement, Tenzin's
training was more difficult that I
could have imagined.

EXT. MOUNTAINS - DAY

Aang is circle walking with Tenzin on a green cliff side.

(AANG) (V.O.)
For some reason, airbending was
very hard for Tenzin to understand.
I realized very quickly that
airbending was never a natural
element to him.

Aang performs one technique where he moves spins his arms above his head and swirls wind around him. Tenzin attempts to replicate the movement, but looses control and the power of the wind knocks him off balance causing him to fall over. Aang sighs and picks him back up.

The spirits of Aang, Korra, and Jinora are watching them as they practice.

(AANG)
It took a long time for Tenzin to
develop the airbender's instinct. I
can't tell you how many times we
drilled through the same forms.

(KORRA)
(sympathetically)
Wow. And I thought I had a hard
time learning how to airbend.

(JINORA)
I can't believe I never knew Dad
had such a hard time learning. I
was always under the impression it
was natural to him.

(AANG)
Tenzin has never been the best at
expressing himself. It sometimes
takes a while for him to understand
things he is unfamiliar with.

EXT. FIELD - DAY

Aang and Tenzin are in front of a herd of bison. Aang nudges Tenzin forward who is holding and apple. He skeptically walks up to one of the bison calves.

(AANG) (V.O.)
It wasn't just airbending, but also
other aspects of our culture and
environment were difficult for him
to adjust to. Even for something as
simple as meeting his bison...

The baby bison looks at Tenzin. Tenzin flinches and holds out the apple. The bison charges at him playfully. Tenzin screams as it knocks him over and licks him. He cringes in fear.

Aang laughs, gently moves the bison off, and helps Tenzin on his feet. He holds out his hand toward the bison and Tenzin does the same. The bison slowly moves up to his hand and he pets the calf.

Both Tenzin and Aang smile at each other.

(AANG) (V.O.)
... but as time went on, he did
eventually warm up, and I was
starting to see him becoming a true
airbender.

EXT. KYOSHI ISLAND / BAY - DAY

A giant elephant-koi emerges from the water. Aang is riding along its fin with Tenzin holding his side. Both of them are laughing as they speed across the water.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Through all the times we left home,
I took him to my favorite locations
in the world.

EXT. EMBER ISLAND / BEACH - DAY

Both Aang and Tenzin are working on a large sand castle. Aang moves his arms and earthbends a large amount of sand on the castle. Tenzin airbends himself up onto the higher point of the castle pats down the post.

(AANG) (V.O.)
As an Air Nomad, I had never had
more fun in my entire life, finally
being able to share my adventures
with someone of my own kind...

EXT. EMBER ISLAND / MEADOW - SUNSET

Aang leaps across the open field and hills while Tenzin chases him and leaps after him. They laugh and chase each other using airbending.

(AANG) (V.O.)
... and we made the greatest
memories together.

At one moment, Tenzin charges forward and tackles Aang. They both fall over and roll down a hill. They stop rolling and embrace while still laughing happily on the ground.

(JINORA)
It's a shame that Uncle Bumi and
Aunt Kya missed out on this.

Aang's spirit closes his eyes and tilts his head down sadly.

(AANG)
One of my greatest regrets is that
I didn't spend more time with my
other children. If I could go back
and fix that... I would.

He turns around and his face hardens.

(AANG)
(frustrated)
How could I be such a horrible
father to Kya and Bumi?

(KORRA)
Aang, you weren't a horrible father
to them. You were just... really
focused on helping Tenzin to carry
out your legacy. If anything, I
think Tenzin needed all that
attention. It really helped him to
be a stronger person.

Aang looks back at Korra and smiles.

EXT. MOUNTAIN SIDE - DAY

Aang and Tenzin are on a peak holding their staffs. Aang takes out his glider and flies over a long distance to land on another peak across the ravine. He turns back to Tenzin.

AANG
(calling out)
Tenzin! Come on! You can make it
over here!

TENZIN
(hesitating)
Dad! I don't know if I can do it
yet!

AANG
Oh come on! You've been able to fly
around every other time we
practiced. Just let go of your
fear.

Tenzin steps up to the edge of the cliff. He looks down at the steep ravine. He gulps and takes out his glider. He takes off and starts to fly over to Aang.

AANG
Awesome, Tenzin! You're doing
great!

Tenzin smiles as he is flying on his glider. Suddenly, an eagle swoops by and tears one side of his glider fin. He starts veering out of control and spins down to the ground.

TENZIN
AAHHH! DAD! HELP ME!

AANG
NO! TENZIN!

Tenzin speeds over to a nearby patch of grass and airbends a shield beneath him. He crashes softly into the ground. in front of a cave. He hears a deep echo from the cave. Suddenly, a saber-toothed moose-lion charges at him. He screams and starts frantically running off in fear.

TENZIN
DAD!

AANG
TENZIN! HOLD ON! I'M COMING!

He leaps off his peak and glides over to the area. He retracts and slides off a mountain edge.

Tenzin is being chased by the moose-lion when two other ones appear in front of him. He stops and tries to leap over to the side with airbending to avoid them, but one of their antlers swings and hits his leg injuring him. He screams as he crashes near an edge.

Tenzin is now cornered by the three moose-lions. He panics in complete horror. They all charge at him and he flinches, but Aang leaps in front of him and and blows an air shield blowing them back a bit.

The moose-lions charge at him again and he attacks them with large bursts of earth and yells fiercely. When the center moose-lion charges, he spins and firebends a giant fire shield in front of them. Aang directs a fierce and angry
scowl at the moose-lions.

AANG
(shouting)
GET AWAY FROM MY SON!

The moose-lions run away in fear. Aang disperse the flames in front of him. He looks back at his son with concern.

AANG
Tenzin! Are you hurt?!

Tenzin burst out crying on the ground. Aang immediately runs up to him and holds him tightly.

TENZIN
(sobbing)
DAD! I WAS SO TERRIFIED! THEY COULD
HAVE KILLED ME!

AANG
Shh. Tenzin. It's okay. You're all
right. I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.

Aang has tears in his eyes as Tenzin continues to cry. It starts to rain around them.

MONTAGE - TENZIN'S TRAINING

(AANG) (V.O.)
Over the years, Tenzin had advanced
in his training. He had soon become
an even better master than I had
expected.

- At age 12, Tenzin and Aang are flying across the sky on their gliders with complex maneuvers.

- At age 15, they practice very complex airbending techniques in a circle.

- Tenzin maneuvers through the spinning gates in the bagua circle with complete natural spiral movements.

INT. AIR TEMPLE

Tenzin is wearing a robe in front of an audience of Air Acolytes, Katara, Bumi, and Kya.

(AANG) (V.O.)
By the time he was 17, I deemed him
to be a true airbending master.

Aang takes off Tenzin's hood and reveals his arrow tattoo. The audience applauds.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - EVENING

(AANG) (V.O.)
All of my old friends and their
families had come to celebrate
Tenzin's ceremony.

Aang is talking and laughing with Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, and Suki in one area. Tenzin is walking around one area seeing Kya, Bumi, Princess Izumi, Sokka's twin children who are a boy and a girl dressed as Kyoshi warriors, and Lin who is angrily chasing her kid sister Su.

Lin stops and sees Tenzin ahead. He walks towards her and smiles. She smiles back nicely and blushes looking off to the side.

(AANG) (V.O.)
Tenzin also met up with Lin, who
was his friend since they were
young children and fell in love.

INT. CITY HALL - DAY

Aang, age 64, and Tenzin, age 32, are sitting at the table with other members of the council and talking.

(AANG) (V.O.)
As the years went by, Tenzin moved
his focus to helping Republic
City's development. And I realized
that he was naturally gifted in
politics, soon becoming a member of
the city council when he was 32.

EXT. REPUBLIC CITY - DAY

Aang and Tenzin are walking through the city importantly.

AANG
So. It looks like you're turning
out to be a great councilman.

TENZIN
It certainly does, Dad. I feel as
though I should spend most of my
time helping to maintain stability
in Republic City. It is desperately
in need of guidance.

AANG
(humorously)
Well in that case, maybe you should
settle down and find a girl to
marry. There are plenty of girls in
this city for you to meet.

TENZIN
Dad, what are you talking about? I
don't need to search for a girl.
I'm already dating Lin.

AANG
You are? I haven't seen you dating
her in a while.

TENZIN
Well, we... we've been very busy
with our different careers and we
haven't had much time to spend
together.

AANG
Come on! That's no excuse. Let's go
get her some flowers.

They walk over to a girl at a nearby flower stand.

AANG
Excuse me, can I have some of your
best flowers?

The bright young girl giggles and smiles at both of them.

PEMA
Good day, Avatar Aang. Good day,
Councilman Tenzin. Coming right up!

She pulls out a bouquet of various flowers and hands it to Aang. He hands her some coins. Aang and Tenzin begin to walk off. The girl looks nervous.

PEMA
(hesitantly)
Um... e-excuse me... Councilman
Tenzin?

Tenzin stops and turns back to her.

TENZIN
Yes?

She fiddles with her fingers and blushes.

PEMA
Are you still dating the chief of
police?

Tenzin looks at her strangely.

TENZIN
Uh, yes, I am.

The girl's face turns to disappointment and she looks down.

PEMA
(sadly)
Well... then I hope it goes well
for both of you.

Tenzin seems a bit confused.

TENZIN
Oh... um... thank you.

He walks off. The girl resumes her work sadly.

Korra's spirit looks at her curiously.

(KORRA)
Wait. Is that Pema?

Jinora's spirit gasps.

(JINORA)
(happily)
Oh my gosh! You're right! It is
Mom! That's so romantic!

Tenzin catches up with Aang.

AANG
Hey, Tenzin, did you see the way
that girl was looking at you? I
think she likes you.

TENZIN
What? That's ridiculous.

AANG
I don't know. Maybe you should talk
to her some more.

TENZIN
Dad, why are you telling me this? I
already told you, I'm with Lin
right now. Besides, that girl is
far too young for me. And why do
you keep pressing this on me
anyway?

AANG
I'm just hoping that soon you'll be
able to start a family and continue
the line of airbenders.

TENZIN
Dad, you don't need to worry about
that. I have everything under
control.

AANG
Are you even sure that you and Lin
are happy together?

TENZIN
(frustrated)
What is your problem with Lin?!

AANG
Nothing.

TENZIN
It's because she's a bender, isn't
it? What about you and Mom? You
didn't have any problems marrying
her even though she's a bender.

Aang puts his hand on Tenzin's shoulder.

AANG
Look, Tenzin, when your mother and
I got together, we weren't...
necessarily thinking about our
future. I just... don't want you to
make the same decisions without
fully thinking things through.

Tenzin sighs sternly.

TENZIN
I know you're just looking out for
me, but I can make my own
decisions. I know what I am doing.
Lin and I are in love, and I'm
absolutely certain we're meant for
each other.

He takes the flower bouquet and walks off. Aang looks down sadly.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - EVENING

Aang flies in on his glider and lands near the temple. He hears some arguing behind the walls. He sidles next to a wall and listens in on the argument.

LIN (O.S.)
(angrily)
You think you can just give me a
nice bouquet and pretend everything
is all right!

TENZIN (O.S.)
Lin! Please! You have to calm down-

LIN (O.S.)
Don't you EVER tell me how to
behave! You ignore me for several
weeks and only just now begin to
talk to me?!

TENZIN (O.S.)
I'm sorry, Lin! I have my duty to
Republic City to-

LIN (O.S.)
Oh! YOUR duty?! What about MY
duty?! I have to lock down the
craziest nut-jobs in the entire
city to prevent anyone from getting
hurt, and you're saying that
sitting around all day at council
meetings talking about nothing but
boring politics is more significant
than MY job?!

TENZIN (O.S.)
(frustrated)
It's not like that! I have to deal
with the pressures of keeping the
stability of the nation as well as
rebuilding an entire culture!

LIN (O.S.)
And that automatically makes it
more important than our
relationship?!

TENZIN (O.S.)
You know what?! YES! I've had it
with you! You're always so
impatient and angry at me! I can't
rebuild the Air Nation with you
yelling at me all the time!

LIN (O.S.)
Well if that is all that's
important to you, then let's see
how you like it!

Lin screams and Aang hears the whip of a metal cable. Suddenly, he hears crashes and smashes of wood. He cringes awkwardly.

TENZIN (O.S.)
LIN! NO! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING!

An even louder smash is heard. Aang continues to cringe.

TENZIN (O.S.)
THIS IS MY FATHER'S TEMPLE!
PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!

Another enormous crash is heard that rumbles the whole area. Aang runs in the courtyard and sees the temple structure, the pavilion, and everything else completely in pieces.

Lin retracts her cables and walks off angrily.

LIN
Try rebuilding the Air Nation
without my help!

Aang looks over at Tenzin in the middle of the wreckage. He slowly turns his head from Lin's direction over to Aang's with his jaw dropped. Aang just looks at him sadly.

Tenzin appears completely devastated and bursts out into tears. He collapses on the ground sobbing into his hands. He whimpers and cries without any reply.

Aang walks over to him and kneels over in front of him. Tenzin looks up at him with a face full of tears in complete fear in his eyes. Aang just stares at him for a moment.

Aang immediately wraps his arms around Tenzin as he continues to cry. They hug each other.

TENZIN
DAD! I'M SO... SORRY! MY WHOLE
LIFE I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT A
DISAPPOINTMENT TO YOU! YOU ARE AN
OLD MAN, AND I'VE LEFT YOU WITH NO
GRANDCHILDREN! I'VE DESTROYED YOUR
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!

Aang starts to have tears come from his eyes.

AANG
Tenzin... You have never... been a
disappointment to me. You have
constantly surprised me all your
life... You have done more good for
me than you know... I love you, my
son...

They continue to embrace each other.

EXT. REPUBLIC CITY - DAY

Tenzin is walking through the city and passes by the flower stand. Pema walks out and runs up to him nervously.

PEMA
Uh... T-Tenzin?

Tenzin turns back to her.

TENZIN
Yes?

He quivers and hesitates.

PEMA
Um... I, uh...

TENZIN
Is there something you need?

She immediately stands up straight.

PEMA
Tenzin, I just wanted to say that I
love you and I always have!

She quivers with embarrassment. Tenzin pauses for a moment in surprise.

TENZIN
Oh... you... you really think that
way about me?

Pema closes her eyes and nods awkwardly.

Tenzin smiles and walks up to her.

TENZIN
That's very nice of you. I'm glad
you feel that way.

He moves he chin up with his hand. She looks up and sees him smile endearingly. She smiles back with hope in her eyes.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - NIGHT

A wedding is taking place with a large audience. Tenzin and Pema are standing at the alter. They kiss each other and everyone applauds. Aang slowly claps his hands and smiles warmly.

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / FIELD - SUNSET

Tenzin, age 34, is happily walking through the field with Pema, age 19.

Aang, age 66, walks in from one side and approaches them.

TENZIN
Hey, Dad. It's good to see you.

Aang holds his head with his hand and groans. He slowly drops to the ground and collapse.

TENZIN
Dad?! DAD!

PEMA
OH NO!

They run up to him and lift him off the ground.

INT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND / BEDROOM - NIGHT

Aang is lying on the bed with several acolytes and medics surrounding him. Bumi, Kya and Katara are standing nearby. Katara is sobbing while Kya holds her.

Tenzin and Pema walk into the room sadly. Tenzin looks over to one of the medics.

MEDIC
I'm sorry, sir. We don't know
why... but he is dying. There's
nothing we can do.

Tenzin's eyes flood with tears and he rushes up kneeling next to Aang at his bed.

TENZIN
Dad! Please! Don't give up!

Aang turns his head over to him looking frail.

AANG
(weakly)
I'm sorry, Tenzin... It seems my
true age has finally caught up with
me.

TENZIN
Dad! I can't let you go! I still
don't have any children for you to
see.

AANG
It's okay... my son... I have no
doubt that you will rebuild our
nation.

He weakly holds up his hand to him.

AANG (CONT'D)
When I go... make sure you train
the new Avatar in airbending.

Tenzin holds his hand crying.

TENZIN
I will, Father.

Aang smiles at him.

AANG
(quietly)
Remember... You... are my son...
You are the hope for future
generations of airbenders... You
are... the last... airbender...

Aang slowly shuts his eyes and his hand goes limp. He remains completely still and lifeless.

Tenzin sobs bitterly over on Aang's body.

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / TREE OF TIME

Aang, Korra, and Jinora watch the vision of Tenzin crying over Aang's body. Korra and Jinora both have tears in their eyes. The vision disappears and everything goes white.

Korra sniffles and looks over at Aang.

KORRA
That was so amazing... thank you
for showing this, Aang.

Aang just smiles at her.

AANG
Wait... there's still more I want
to show you...

The whole scenery changes again and Korra and Jinora look forward in anticipation.

INT. SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE / HOUSE - DAY

Korra and Jinora's spirits look around at the room.

(KORRA)
Wait... where is this?

(AANG)
Just look...

Korra and Jinora look down.

Katara is sitting next to Tonraq. Both are next to Senna in bed.

(KORRA)
Mom? Dad?

Tonraq is holding a crying newborn baby and hands her over to Senna.

TONRAQ
Look Senna. It's our new baby girl.

Senna holds the baby and looks in her eyes tired and happy.

SENNA
Korra... she's so beautiful...

Immediately, Korra's spirit starts to cry tears of joy.

(KORRA)
That's... that's me...

She covers her mouth with her hands and balls out crying.

(KORRA) (CONT'D)
(crying)
Oh my gosh! That's- That's me!
THAT'S REALLY ME!

She whimpers and continues to cry into her hands. Jinora tears up as well and smiles. Aang's spirit holds Korra and Jinora's shoulders.

(AANG)
There's one more memory I want to
show you. This one is very
important to me.

The whole scenery morphs around again.

EXT. SOUTH POLE / TRAINING GROUNDS - DAY

Aang, Korra, and Jinora's spirits see Korra, age 9, practicing waterbending next to Katara.

(KORRA)
Wait. This was during my
waterbending training with Katara.

(JINORA)
Oh my gosh, Korra! You were so
cute!

Young Korra is bending a stream of water. She starts out slow, but then starts swinging it around rapidly and throws the stream forward.

KORRA
YES! I'm the greatest waterbender
of all time!

Katara chuckles happily and holds Korra's shoulders.

KATARA
(laughing)
Now Korra, calm down. We have some
visitors to see you.

Korra strikes a fierce pose and looks around.

KORRA
Who dares come to the presence of
the Avatar?!

Katara points over in one direction. Korra looks and sees Oogie land nearby. Tenzin and a pregnant Pema walk up with Jinora as a toddler at age 2.

(JINORA)
My goodness! It's me!

(KORRA)
(laughing)
Now who's the adorable one?

Tenzin, Pema, and Jinora walk up to young Korra.

KORRA
Tenzin! You're here!

Tenzin smiles warmly.

TENZIN
It's good to see you again, Korra.

I want you to meet our daughter.

He looks down at their little girl Jinora who is timidly holding his cloak.

TENZIN (CONT'D)
Jinora... this is Korra.

Jinora hides behind Tenzin shyly looking at Korra.

PEMA
(sweetly)
Come on, Jinora. Don't be shy. Say
hello to her.

Jinora slowly starts to walk towards Korra. Korra bends over in front of her with an enormous adorable smile.

KORRA
(loudly)
My name is Korra! What's yours?!

Jinora flinches a bit.

KORRA (CONT'D)
Don't worry. I'm friendly.

Jinora slowly starts to smile.

KORRA
All right! Check out my awesome
Avatar powers!

She holds her fist up and bursts a stump from the ground throwing Jinora high up in the air screaming. Tenzin and Pema are struck with complete terror.

TENZIN
NO! JINORA!

PEMA
MY BABY!

As Jinora is falling, she starts laughing and slowly descends to the ground with airbending. She lands softly on the ground. Tenzin and Pema sigh with relief.

TENZIN
Oh, thank heavens.

Korra and Jinora's spirits laugh.

(KORRA)
I remember this! Jinora, this was
the first time we met each other.

Jinora's spirit looks over to Aang's spirit.

(JINORA)
Grandpa Aang, why are you showing
us this memory?

(AANG)
Because this was the first time I
ever saw you. When I met you
through Korra, I knew that my dream
for the future would soon truly be
realized.

She smiles brightly at Aang.

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / TREE OF TIME

They fade back to the Tree of Time and Aang looks at both Korra and Jinora.

AANG
Throughout Tenzin's life, I was
always pressuring him of the fate
he was destined to live up to. I
didn't realize that I shouldn't
have been so demanding of him to
fix the world. I should have just
let him do it naturally.

He walks up to them and holds both of their shoulders.

AANG (CONT'D)
Now, because of the two of you, the
world is now filled with
airbenders. I am so proud of the
both of you.

Korra and Jinora look at him confused.

KORRA
Wait. Both of us? What do you mean?

JINORA
Yeah. Korra opened the spirit
portals during Harmonic Convergence
causing the airbenders to appear. I
did nothing at all.

Aang laughs softly.

AANG
Oh, Jinora. I think you did so much
more than you realize. Let me show
you something that you're both
familiar with.

The whole scenery changes again.

EXT. REPUBLIC CITY - HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

The giant spirit Korra is facing off with Unavaatu. Unavaatu shoots an enormous purple laser beam that blasts right into Korra and throws across the water. She lands on her back into the water.

Aang, Korra, and Jinora's spirits are floating in the air.

(KORRA)
This was my battle with Vaatu
during Harmonic Convergence!

Unavaatu Moves his arms in circles and bends some spiral streams around Korra lifting her into the air. The dark purple energy rises up almost completely consuming Korra.

UNAVAATU
(loudly)
With you out of the way, I will be
the one true Avatar!

A sphere of light descends from the sky lowering in front of Korra, revealing to be Jinora.

(JINORA)
Look! There I am!

As Jinora moves down in front of Korra, she holds a ball of spirit energy. She opens her arms and the spirit light spreads all across the entire area.

Korra and Jinora's spirits look around as the light becomes blinding. It spreads like a wave all across the world passing by everyone. They see certain individuals in the city absorb the light into them without noticing.

EXT. EARTH KINGDOM VILLAGE - HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

Kai is looking around among the crowds where the sky is purple with green aurora beams. They see the bright yellow light coming in the horizon. It speeds right by them and they cover their eyes. As Kai covers his eyes with his arms, the light passes through him and he absorbs the energy into himself.

EXT. ZAOFU / BEIFONG ESTATE - HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

The golden light passes over the city of Zaofu watch as the Metal Clan watches. They all cover their eyes. The energy passes through Opal and she absorbs it into herself.

INT. HIGH MOUNTAINS / ZAHEER'S PRISON - HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

Zaheer is meditating in the middle of his cell. A small bit of light peaks through the shut doors. Suddenly the light passes into his cell and Zaheer absorbs the light without making any moves. After the light passes, he opens his eyes and grins.

EXT. REPUBLIC CITY - HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

The has passed by and giant spirit Korra is in the middle of pulling Raava out of Unavaatu's chest.

Jinora's spirit just looks over the city and horizon and slowly drops her jaw. She holds her mouth open and Korra's spirit looks at her with complete shock.

(KORRA)
Jinora...

The whole scenery fades to white.

INT. SPIRIT WORLD / TREE OF TIME

They fade back to inside the tree. Aang walks up to Jinora. She looks up at him completely dazed and surprised.

JINORA
You mean... that energy shift
causing all the airbenders... that
was me?!

Aang simply nods his head smiling warmly.

AANG
Because of Korra opening up the
Spirit World... and Jinora's
light... non-benders across the
world have received the ability of
airbending. Both of you have made
my greatest dream come true. And
you have restored balance to the
Air Nomads... and to the world.

He puts his hand on their shoulders.

AANG (CONT'D)
Since you are both my successors...
I offer you my wisdom... continue
my work in this world... and
sustain this era... of peace.

He starts to vanish from them. Jinora holds up her hand worried.

JINORA
Wait! Grandpa Aang!

He completely disappears from their sight.

They hear a bison call from outside the tree. They turn around and see Pepper fly straight toward them. Jinora beams with happiness.

JINORA (CONT'D)
Pepper!

EXT. AIR TEMPLE ISLAND - DAY

Korra and Jinora fly back to the Air Temple and see Tenzin and Pema in the courtyard. They look up and see the bison land in front of them. Korra and Jinora leap off and run up to them.

TENZIN
Jinora, Korra, you're back.

Jinora slams into Tenzin wrapping her arms around him and squeezing him with tears coming from her eyes.

JINORA
(quickly)
DADDY, I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU MEAN THE
WHOLE WORLD TO ME! I MISSED YOU
SO MUCH!

Tenzin hugs her back and looks at her a bit baffled.

TENZIN
Jinora? Are you all right?

Korra runs up to him.

KORRA
Tenzin! I have some great news!
I've now have regained my
connection with my past lives!

Tenzin looks up at her.

TENZIN
You have?! That's wonderful!

KORRA
I've got more great news! We found
out what cause the airbenders to
appear during Harmonic Convergence!
It was Jinora's light!

Tenzin's eyes widen in surprise.

TENZIN
What?!

Jinora lets go of Tenzin.

JINORA
It's true! When I helped Korra
revive Raava, I also created the
energy shift that caused people to
gain airbending.

Tenzin slowly turns his head to Jinora in complete shock. He then suddenly wraps his arms around Jinora tightly and she hugs him back. Tears instantly fill his eyes.

TENZIN
After all these years... my
father's dream for the future has
finally been realized...

He lovingly caresses Jinora's hair.

TENZIN (CONT'D)
... but only now have I realized
myself that... you... are his dream
for the future.

Tears continue to flow from their eyes.

TENZIN (CONT'D)
(sobbing)
I love you so much, Jinora.

JINORA
(sobbing)
I love you too, Daddy.

EXT. AANG MEMORIAL ISLAND - SUNSET

Jinora walks on the island and looks up at the giant statue of Aang. She smiles at him. She looks behind her and sees Kai. He pauses for a bit and then smiles. Both Kai and Jinora run up too each other and embrace. They gaze into each other's eyes and kiss romantically as the sun sets in the horizon.

INT. ZAHEER'S PRISON

Zaheer is meditating floating off of the ground in the lotus position. He opens his eyes when he hears muffled sounds of fighting and struggling behind the metal walls.

Some brief grunts are made with smashing and blasting. For a moment everything is silent. Zaheer squints his eyes with curiosity.

The door slowly opens and he sees the feet of one man. As the door lifts up more, three others are shown behind the man. All four men are completely shown wearing black robes. When the door is completely open, they walk inside.

Zaheer is shocked when he sees the man in the front's face. He is and old man with streaks of black in his grey beard on a scowling face with dark tan skin.

ZAHEER
It can't be... Rukhirim?!

Rukhirim removes his hood.

RUKHIRIM
Zaheer... my young friend.

Zaheer glares at him angrily.

ZAHEER
It's impossible! You were dead!

RUKHIRIM
Perhaps not as dead as you thought.
Death is merely a rite of passage
into new life.

Zaheer lunges toward him fiercely with chains stopping him in place. He stops right in front of Rukhirim who doesn't flinch and has no reaction.

RUKHIRIM
A free spirit like yourself chained
to the immobility of the ground...
What a fitting prison for you.

Zaheer growls at him.

RUKHIRIM (CONT'D)
I have no need to explain my
intentions; you already know what I
am going to do.

ZAHEER
You can't defeat the Avatar! She is
far too powerful! Not even you are
strong enough to stop her!

RUKHIRIM
You assume far too much, Zaheer.
And yes, I've heard about your
failures with destroying Avatar.
That is why I am using it as an
example for my own plans to
succeed.

ZAHEER
Then why are you here?! Do you
honestly think I am going to help
you?!

RUKHIRIM
I don't... but the offer is still
stands if you wish to join me.

He holds up his hands and bends the metal cuffs open falling off Zaheer.

ZAHEER
You've made a grave mistake.

Zaheer hits his fists together and airbends a massive wave. Rukhirim naturally lifts an earth shield but his three accomplices are knocked over.

Zaheer make an aerial loop and jets straight towards Rukhirim.

Rukhirim lowers the earth shield and simply holds up his hand.

Zaheer heads straight at him but stops motionless a few centimeters from Rukhirim's hand. He grunts struggles from Rukhirim's control. Rukhirim holds up both of hands and bends Zaheer around holding him straight up.

Zaheer continues to struggle and gasp.

RUKHIRIM
So pitiful of you... I have trained
and waited so long for this time...
I will be the one to bring new
order and establishment to the
world... and I will crush anyone
who opposes me... then once I get
to the Avatar... everything will
fit into place.

He clenches his fist intensely and a enormous combination of SNAPS and CRACKS are heard. He holds his arm down and Zaheer's lifeless body thumps on the ground.

Rukhirim walks out of the room with the three hooded men following him. The two metal doors slam down shut.
