I apologise that this chapter came out a little late but I've had a few problems with writers block and having the internet cut off. I hope you enjoy these last few chapters, I may also be doing a sequel.

Korra had enough of waiting and immediately went to get Naga. Mako, Bolin,and Asami were already there waiting and looked right at her. Surprised she looked between them and then barked. "Don't try and stop me! I-"

"We're not going to." Asami stepped forward and offered her arm. "We're going with you, we stick together right?"

Korra smiled and placed her arm against Asami's. "Right, let's go."

Asami took a satocycle while Korra and the boys sat on Naga's back.

Meanwhile in the centre of republic city, Amon stood in front of the city hall and was seeing to the benders who had been lined up to be 'cleansed' of their impurity. Mao was kept behind him, she had yet to be seen to but was kept under a watchful eye by the lieutenant and other chi blockers.

She glared at Amon's back as he moved through the benders one by one, taking very little time to remove their bending.

The sound of crashes and yells caught more then just Mao's attention and her expression lightened when she saw the large white polar bear dog and the satocycle leap over a group of the chi blockers and right in front of Amon.

Korra leapt off the dog and began marching towards them.

"Amon let Mao go right now!"

"Or what? Avatar? You are in no position to bargain for this girl...Unless you plan to hand yourself over?" A few chi blockers chuckled and held Mao back as she tried to stand.

Korra looked at her and then sent a massive bolt of flames towards them, the chi blockers fled but Amon remained where he was, unscathed. "If you continue to fight Avatar your friend will loose more then her bending."

Mako and Bolin fought their way to Korra while Asami kept watch at their backs.

Korra ground her teeth and glared at Amon, she looked at Mao who was shaking her head furiously for her not to give in.

Korra nodded to her then looked at Amon. "I would never hand myself over to you when so many other people need me."

"Such a pity." Amon turned and Mao was pulled to her feet and brought towards him, however the smirk on her face made Korra smile. Just as Amon raised his hand to take away her bending her foot shot up and brought the concrete slab up with her. It struck his hand away and while he was distracted she threw herself forward and head-butted him in the gut, knocking him back.

This sparked the equalists into attack and team Avatar began throwing everything they had to keep them at bay. Amon caught Mao before she could run to Korra but his hand never touched her, she just froze mid step and walked back, no one seemed to notice till his thumb was placed right over her third eye, she let out a chilling scream and dropped to the floor like a lifeless rag doll.

Korra and the others stopped and stared at what just happened and the equalists took advantage of it, swarming in around them and keeping them occupied. "Last chance Avatar, stand down and I will let her live, along with the benders you see behind me. Don't you want them to be released?"

Korra yelled and ran at him with her fists flaming, she almost got to him when her muscles all suddenly seized up, it felt like thousands of needles and hooks were trying to pull her skin off.

The others tried to get close but the chi blockers wouldn't let them get anywhere near Amon.

Korra was pulled up close to that horrid mask of his and tried everything to release herself from his hold. "Say goodbye to your friend Avatar."

"Amon you monster! Let her go!"

He chuckled darkly and started squeezing her tighter, the sound of engines overhead made him look up, Korra tried but only just caught the wing of a plane passing over very close. Amon growled and threw Korra away to get out of the way of a falling bomb himself.

Dust started to fly everywhere, dirt and rubble falling around the area.

Everyone was running around wildly to avoid it and fight off anyone who tried to take advantage of the situation. Mako, Asami and Bolin ended up back to back and managed to defend themselves, Korra caught up with them nursing a bruised arm and ribs. "Has anyone seen Mao?" they all shook their heads and the plane turned around again, general Iroh leapt out and landed near them while the plane crashed into the steps.

"General!" They were so glad to see him but he looked pissed. He began marching towards Amon with Korra and the others in tow. They still couldn't see anything through the smoke, dust and flames. Everything was bathed in a horrid orange glow, ashes and dirt flew upwards from the heat and small rocks still fell from the sky every now and then.

A figure emerged out from the smoke, all black and ghostly at first but as he stepped closer they could see that his arms were shaking from fury. His hood had been blown back and blood dripped from under the half shattered porcelain mask, making him look ten times more terrifying, and his face was completely lacking any old scar tissue.

They moved to charge but his eyes opened horrifyingly wide and his arms were whipped up on front of him, fingers curling into claws. The whole team had the sensation of every muscle cramping at once and painfully so, but he wouldn't let them pass out, oh no. "You have no idea of what you are dealing with, none of you could even dream of standing a chance against me!"

Korra managed to turn her head and glared at him. "Who are you! Besides a sick bastard!"

Amon twisted his wrist making Korra scream in agony as her body was pushed and pulled into awful looking poses.

"My father was Yakone, I am his first son and his superior in every way. Soon all of republic city and the world will be under my thumb, but first I need to deal with you." He growled and just as he began lifting them off the ground his head was knocked forward, the rest of his mask shattering on the floor.

Behind him Mao stood with her fists raised and didn't let him recover before another kick slammed into his back, forcing him to the floor. Amon released his hold on the team and brought Mao high up into the air and pulled all her limbs down while her back arched into an almost impossible arc.

"I did warn you Avatar that I would take your friend's life if you failed to obey me. Now you can watch as she dies right in front of you. This will be your last chance to surrender."

blood dripped to the floor from Mao's mouth and nose but she turned her head to stare at Korra who reeled back as she saw the girl's face soaked with tears of pain and contorted with suffering. Not wanting to look she hung her head. The others and Amon stared at her, then as she began to walk towards him he smirked and began to chuckle, the others shouted and called Korra back but she wouldn't listen.

Mao was trying to say no but blood blocked her throat from making much noise at all, only coughing more up onto the floor several feet below. Asami looked away and Bolin held onto her, not wanting to see either. Mako kept his eyes on Korra, waiting to rush towards her if anything went wrong. She couldn't be giving up, not now.

When she stood right before him he looked down at her, lowering Mao slightly till she was laying on the ground, but still unable to move. "Is this your surrender avatar?"
