Red. The only thing that Mako could see was red. He then realized that the scarf from his deceased father was in his face and he took it off, only to find Korra about 30-40 feet in the air. He then remembered. Amon said something and Korra screamed, which probably triggered the Avatar State. Mako just stood there in shock.
"Bro! If you don't mind, do you think that you can help us get out of this ice so that we can go and help Korra get out of the Avatar State?" Bolin shouted. Mako snapped out of it and with a few plucks, he threw medium-sized flames.
at the ice, causing it to melt instantly. Mako and the others gathered together to think of a plan on how to help Korra.
"What should we do?" Asami asked.
"Well, one of us is gonna have to go up to Korra, get sucked up, and try to snap her out of it. So, who wants to volunteer?" Mako replied. As expected, Bolin and Asami took a step back, indicating that Mako had to do it.
"Why is it that you guys want me to do the hard stuff? This especially?" Mako asked pretty annoyed.
"Well, you're usually the one who always manage to quickly take care of these situations without getting a single scratch on you." Asami stated.
"But, the most important reason of why you have to do this is because of Korra. You have a special bond with her that Asami and I always notice. Let's not forget that when Korra was abducted by Tarrlock, you freaked out and tried to find her. You even shoved us to the side after we found her. You're probably the only one who can be able to help her at this point." Bolin stated. Although he was shocked that his own little brother managed to say something so detailed and accurate, Mako knew that he had a point. He did have a special bond with Korra and he didn't want to lose that due to Amon.
"Wish me luck" Mako said with a smile and with that he ran towards Korra.
"Good luck!" Bolin shouted. Mako instantly regretted what he just said. He finally made it to Korra and was trying to figure out how he was gonna reach her. Then it hit him. He used firebending to make a booster rocket that managed to send Mako up to Korra's height. Mako jumped and managed to get a hold of Korra's shoulders.
"Korra, listen to me! You have to snap out of it! Everything is going to be okay!" Mako said loudly and firmly. Korra, who was still in the Avatar state, managed to reply in her normal voice.
"You don't know that! Amon might win and we'll all die, and it'll be all my fault!" Korra replied, with tears forming in her glowing eyes.
"Amon is not going to kill us! And even if he does, which he won't, it's not going to be your fault! We're going to live and we're going to be together!" Mako shouted back.
"But Amon said that he was going to kill you. Just thinking about it made me lose it 'cause I just love you too much to lose you." Korra said, finally causing the tears to spill out.
"Well he won't kill me. I promise." Mako said with a smile. Korra must've calmed down because she managed to place her and Mako back safely on the icy ground. However, her eyes were still glowing.
"Korra, nobody is going to hurt you on my watch, okay? You'll be safe with me." And with that, Mako kissed Korra on the forehead, which finally caused Korra to completely come out of the Avatar state since her eyes were no longer glowing. Korra quickly embraced Mako and he returned the hug. He was so relieved to have Korra back that he started to cry a little bit. Asami and Bolin watched this with smiles on their faces.
"Mako and Korra. I'm so happy for them." Asami said with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah. Who knows you may even start dating a certain general by the name of Iroh." Bolin said in a teasing way, causing Asami to blush.
"Great. I'm busted." Asami murmured sarcastically under her breath.
