Ch 14 epilogue
At the South Pole, they left the ship and headed into a hut. The squad brought the MRAP, loaded with all the weapons and munitions left over from the war. Needless to say, everyone was surprised to see an armored vehicle pulling up against the compound.
"Wait." Tonraq said, seeing the 4 special ops soldiers.
"Shit." Price said, and pulled out his M4, racking the bolt.
"The four of you helped my daughter?" Tonraq asked.
"Yes. If it wasn't for us, she'd be dead." Ghost said.
"You have my thanks and gratitude. I've heard about what happened in the city. Thanks the sprits you 4 were around to protect Korra." Tonraq said.
"Thanks, sir. It's what we do." Yuri said.
All night, and well into the day, Katara tried everything to heal Korra, but nothing was working. Defeated, Katara walked outside to meet everyone. Katara noticed the worn out tired looks. These people had been to hell and back.
"I'm sorry. I can't restore Korra's bending. Her connection to the 3 elements has been severed." Katara said.
Korra walked out into the room, and saw everyone. Unable to speak, Korra walked out of the compound, and got on Naga.
"Korra, wait a minute!" Asami said, running out, but Korra was long gone.
Asami watched as Naga disappeared into the distance. Asami ran after Korra, hoping to find her before she did anything drastic.
Korra stood on the ledge, contemplating suicide. As much as she wanted to jump and die, she couldn't take the final step. Korra collapsed on her knees and sobbed.
"Not now, Tenzin." Korra said, seeing air nomad clothes next to her.
"But you called me here." A different voice said.
Korra looked up and saw her predecessor.
"Aang. How…"
"When we hit our lowest point, we're open to the greatest change." Aang said, who put his thumb on Korra's head.
With her eyes glowing, Korra saw all the previous Avatars lined up behind Aang, giving Korra all their bending knowledge.
"Aang, wait. 4 soldiers came from a different world. Can you put them back?" Korra asked.
"I can. But this world, and there's will be forever connected to each other. What they're capable of doing, is less than 1% of what their world is capable of doing. If you want to take that risk, I'll open the southern spirit portal." Aang said.
"I'll take that risk." Korra said.
Aang snapped his finger and Korra saw a bright upright yellow beam of light appear in the far horizon.
Still in the avatar state, Korra rose on a water spout, unleashing water, earth, and fire. She was back.
Settling down on the snow, she turned around and saw Asami. Korra ran towards her and captured her in a kiss.
"I love you too." Korra said, affirming their relationship.
Approaching the southern water tribe temple, Korra announced that she could now restore bending, and her own bending was restored by Aang.
Lin kneeled in front of Korra, who put her thumb on Lin's forehead. Korra entered the avatar state, and restored Lin's bending.
Standing up, Lin lifted the 6 earth stones in front of the temple, showing that she too, had her bending restored.
"Thank you, Avatar Korra." Lin said.
Korra turned to the four soldiers, and talked to them.
"Guys, I have to show you something."
Korra led them to the now open spirit portal.
"Déjà vu." Makarov said.
"You saw this before?" Korra asked.
"Just before we left. We were investigating a disturbance in northern Russia. We saw this exact thing." Price said.
"Drive thru here, and you'll return to your world." Korra said, pointing to the portal.
"Korra, it's been a hell of a time working with you. If you ever need us, come visit us." Ghost said.
"Thanks, guys. If it wasn't for you, republic city would have fallen. And I'd be dead. Or worse." Korra said.
"Wait a minute. Where do I go to find you?"
Price and Makarov scribbled down the headquarters of their organizations.
"Hereford, England. Moscow, Russia." Korra said, reading the names.
Korra watched as the MRAP raced into the portal, disappearing.
Moscow, Russia.
The squad was called into a meeting with their leaders.
"Where the hell have you been? You four have been gone for 6 weeks! The MRAP is shot and scorched up, you all look like you've been to hell and back." A colonel said.
"Sir, we got one hell of a story." Yuri said.
