This is chapter eighteen.
REMINDER: I DO NOT OWN AVATAR OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.
At the Ba Sing Se Military Factory, in the manager room, Prime Universe Ghazan was paying chess with his Balance Universe counterpart while Prime Universe Ming-Hua were checking security on the screen. KorRaavu had recruited Ming-Hua and Ghazan from the Balance Universe.
Ghazan was losing to his Prime Universe counterpart at the game. It was his move. He takes his time, moving round the board and checking things from various angles. Finally, he tentatively makes a move. He looks at his counterpart bluntly with a smirk.
Prime Universe Ghazan moves almost immediately. "Checkmate."
"Ooohh!" Ghazan was frustrated. "Again?"
"Obviously you're not well suited for chess as me back in your universe, perhaps pro-bending would be more your speed." Prime Universe Ghazan said bluntly.
"Just reset the board." Ghazan said.
"It must be humbling to suck on so many different levels." Prime Universe said teasingly.
"Shut up, you." Ghazan said annoyed.
Prime Universe Ming-Hua was annoyed. "I don't know why you two would play this game while we're watching out for intruders."
"This me beats me in this game twice." Ghazan said. "This time, I'll win."
"Please. You're bad at this game in your universe." Prime Universe Ghazan said while resetting the board.
Prime Universe Ming-Hua turns to her Balance Universe counterpart. "Are you sure you don't want KorRaavu to restore your arms?"
"I like these better. Ch'rell and his gang make them strong when Ghazan and I worked for him." Ming-Hua said. "They're really damn good."
"Whatever you say." Prime Universe Ming-Hua said.
Prime Universe Ghazan finished resetting the chess board.
"This time, I'll get it right." Ghazan said. "And you'll eat your heart out. Bo…"
Ming-Hua slams the table with her robot hand in anger.
"For Christ's sake, Ghazan. I've said it once, and I'll say it again: No more of that goddamn 'Booyakasha' catchphrase!"
"Ok, ok." Ghazan said with his hands up in defence before Ming-Hua walks off. "Jeez."
Meanwhile, at the Royal Palace, Squad A was sneaking through the entrance. There were guards patrolling the palace. Then, two Dai Li were guarding the power system of Ba Sing Se in a chamber.
With silent move, the squad of the Red Lotus enters the room, sneak attacked them and knocked them out.
"Pass me a dagger." the Red Lotus member ordered before the other member gives him a dagger.
He cuts the wires of the powerline, and that kills all the power in Ba Sing Se. Every light in Ba Sing Se was shut down one by one.
The other members and the Korras saw the opportunity.
"That's our cue. Let's go in." Korra said before they run to the factory.
In the manager room, Prime Universe Ghazan was winning chess again.
"Checkmate." he said.
Ghazan gets very angry. "You are one cheating counterpart!"
Prime Universe Ghazan gets confused. "How was I cheating in chess?"
"I… uh…" Ghazan stutter for a second to answer that question. "I don't know. Rematch again."
Then the lights were out. The villains were alert of it.
"What's going on?" Ming-Hua wondered.
"The power's out!" Prime Universe Ming-Hua said.
Lotus Universe Korra and Asami entered the room.
"The city has been intruded! The rebels are here!" Lotus Universe Korra said.
"Everybody, to the Colossus!" Lotus Universe Asami said.
The multiversal villains runs to the mecha giant.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory where the Colossus was, the Prism Universe Red Lotus were battle KorRaavu's soldiers. Prism Universe Zaheer and Tenzin uses airbending to create a vortex and knock down two guards. The multiversal Avatars went in their Avatar States to fight the soldiers.
The Korras uses each bending until the soldiers were all knocked out. They leave the states.
"Well, that's the last of them." Fairytale Universe Korra said.
Prism Universe Unalaq placed the spirit bomb onto the giant weapon. "Ok, the bomb is ready."
"Good. Let's leave this place and blow that thing up." Korra said before a blast of lightning missed her.
The rebels looked and saw the Lotus Universe counterparts of Korra and Asami, and the Ming-Huas and Ghazans. The Ghazan and Ming-Hua were holding laser guns.
"Hello, Avatar. Did you miss us?" Ghazan asked tautly.
"You're getting payback for taking away our bending." Ming-Hua said darkly.
"Let me guess, KorRaavu got to you goons, too?" Korra asked annoyed.
"Yeah, she did." Ming-Hua said.
"What's in it for you, money?" Korra asked.
"Just one more chaos to cause, then we get our retirement." Ghazan answered.
"KorRaavu orders us to bring you rebels to her. You won't get away from us alive." Lotus Universe Korra said before getting ready to firebend.
"Oh, yeah? Try it." Korra said in battle mode before she and her good counterparts were ready to bend.
The good Korras, the Red Lotus, and KorRaavu's multiversal allies charge at each other. Lotus Universe Korra uses firebending to attack the Korras, but they equally blocked it with waterbending, making an icy wall.
Ghazan and Ming-Hua blasts the icy wall to melt it, then they were hit by Prism Universe Tenzin's wind. Prime Universe Ghazan lavabends the floor, but the rebellion jumps.
The rebellion exists the factory while the villains were following them.
"Don't let them escape!" Lotus Universe Korra shouted.
Ghazan and Ming-Hua blasts with their laser guns, but Korra uses earthbend to block the guns with rocks. The weapons were about to blow.
"I hate this job." Ghazan said annoyed before the guns exploded, making him and Ming-Hua flew to the wall and got knocked out.
Prism Universe Zaheer flies above and attacks Prime Universe Ghazan and Ming-Hua, then Prism Universe Unalaq knocks them out by hit their heads together.
Lotus Universe Asami tried to use electricity on Fairytale Universe Korra, but she dodges and knocks her out with earthbending.
Lotus Universe Korra was worried. "Asami!"
She charges at Fairytale Korra with combustionbending, but she dodged the attack. Prime Universe Korra lifts a big rock and throws it to her Lotus counterpart, but she starts chanting.
"Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become wind."
She was able to use airbend to fly the same way as the Zaheers in each universe.
The Korras were surprised. "What the hell?" they said in union.
Korra tried to do the same as her counterpart, but she wouldn't fly. "Shit!" she snapped in frustration.
"What? You think reciting Laghima's poem would be that easy for the Avatars to fly?" Prime Universe asked bluntly.
"Yeah, I thought that's your Zaheer's point of letting go of one's earthly tether." Korra said.
"I'll bet KorRaavu does that, too." Fairytale Korra said.
"Less talk, more fighting." Lotus Universe said.
Lotus Universe Korra enters her Avatar State right before the good Korras enters theirs. It was one on three. They all fought in their battle. Together, the good Korras uses airebend to blow Lotus Korra away.
Prism Universe Unalaq pulls out the trigger for the bomb. "Time to blow this weapon up."
He pressed the button, then the bomb explodes the Colossus and the factory. The rebellion shelters themselves from the explosion.
"That's one Colossus destroyed. That was too easy." Korra said.
"This is only the beginning." Prism Universe Unalaq said.
"The two Colossuses still remains, and getting ready for the invasion." Prism Universe Zaheer said. "It would be the longest war we're having."
"Not as long as those things are destroyed." Korra determined. "We can still win this, for the peace of this universe."
Prism Universe Tenzin puts his hand on the Balance Avatar's shoulder. "I know we will."
"One down, two to go." Raavu's imprint said.
"And for now on, Zaheer, you could teach us Korras Laghima's poem." Prime Universe said.
"My pleasure, Avatars." Prism Universe Zaheer said. "But first, we must leave."
The rest of the Red Lotus escaped Ba Sing Se, including the Prism Universe Unalaq, Tenzin and Zaheer and the Korras. Lotus Universe Korra and Asami, Ghazan and Ming-Hua and their Prime Universe counterparts survived and were recovered from the fight.
"The Colossus is destroyed." Lotus Universe Korra said. "Now there are only two lefts."
"We'll have to report it to KorRaavu." Lotus Universe Asami said.
"This Dark Avatar is not gonna like it." Ghazan said worriedly.
"I hate to someone who fails her." Ming-Hua said.
Chapter nineteen will come eventually.
