It was probably only an hour, but it felt like ages had went by before Korra felt the truck stop. The door opened and a harsh yellow light washed in, blinding the trio for a few seconds. Korra, Mako, and Bolin's legs were freed and they were pushed out of the truck, but not before getting a collar snapped around their necks. The chi-blockers also removed the cloth preventing the group from talking.
Both Mako and Bolin expected Korra to start streaming curses or yell, but she was silent. Instead, she attempted to use her earthbending. However, the moment the first crack formed at her feet, the collar buzzed and shot off flashes of light. The girl let out an agonized cry and fell to her knees, panting. It was a shock collar.
"Best not be doing that, sweet heart," one of the blockers said, lifting Korra's chin. She snapped her teeth at his fingers, missing by a split second's time. The man yanked her to her feet and shoved her over to the boys. Keeping her head down, she walked on as they were taken into a large building.
Mako and Bolin stopped as Korra was brought into a rather large room. She looked at them, her eyes showing nothing but defeat. "Korra-" Bolin began, but was cut short as they were prodded in the back by the equalists with them. "Keep going."
The boys exchanged one last look at Korra before walking down the hall. The man with Korra pushed her to the ground and chained her wrists so she couldn't stand up. Then he left, closing the door behind him, leaving her in darkness once again.
A voice sounded in the darkness; "My dear, dear Korra…"
Korra's head snapped up, her breathing suddenly shallow. She looked around at the darkness, trying to locate him. Then a light flickered on and there he was.
Amon.
The Avatar began to bend on instinct, but forgot about the collar, resulting in her getting shocked. Amon just watched. The girl slumped forward, panting for a few seconds before looking up at him.
"What are you going to do with Mako and Bolin? Where's Naga? Let me go!" she cried, her voice shaking with fear. Amon walked over to her. She shrank closer to the ground as he came closer. "Oh, you'll soon find out," he told her before snapping his fingers. More lights turned on, and Korra was now staring at a glass wall.
Through it she could see Bolin, Mako, and Naga. They saw her too. Naga went ballistic a second later, and Korra saw a blue light travel through the thick chain the animal was attached to and flinched when she let out a wail and fell to the ground, breathing heavily. "Naga! Please, don't hurt her!" Korra begged, looking up at Amon.
"She's the least of your worries, young Avatar," he said, waving back at the glass. The girl turned back slowly, afraid of what she'd see. She barely had time to scream before both Mako and Bolin were electrocuted. She heard their cries and turned away until it stopped. When she looked back, they were both slumped against the wall, but breathing she noted thankfully.
"Now, let me tell you why you're here." Korra whipped her head around to look at Amon, forgetting he was there for a moment. "W-what are you-"
"Let me tell you," he repeated. "I'm going to break you, Avatar." He walked around her slowly and continued, "I'll break you and then you'll go into Avatar State. And do you know what I'll do then?" Korra swallowed and watched him pace around her, sweat running down her face.
He was going to kill her. And Mako, Bolin, and Naga had to watch.
