Republic City; from a distance it looked like something out a painting of a utopian society. From the distance you couldn't see the enemy. A heavily cloaked figure was brooding to himself about Republic city was listening in to radio transmissions from the police. A new transmission was now being broadcasted.

"All available units converge on Equalist camp at Bryan Street," Lin Beifong on the radio announced with an aggressive tone. The figure leapt from the building top towards Bryan street.

At the site, Mako, Korra and several police officers were planning their attack. Beifong permitted Korra to join the strike force much to Mako's dismay.

"Alright everyone listen up!" Beifong was explaining in her commanding voice. "This is the big one, the heart of the remaining equalists. Your mission is to take down as many as possible. But be aware, their new leader is said to be here. So be extremely careful if you come across him."

Everyone paired up for extra protection. Mako teamed up with Korra obviously. They stormed the hideout with lightning force, quite literally. Mako and two other fire benders fired multiple shots of lightning to throw everyone off. Thankfully no one was hit by it. The plan was to stop them with as little harm as possible dealt to them. The teams headed inside.

Mako and Korra led the charge. Korra gathered up as much water as possible for fighting. The walked down a long poorly lit hallway. Korra was able to sense vibrations in the walls and hallways using her earthbending. Korra felt vibrations coming from the room up ahead.

"There, that one," she whispered while pointing to a door. The group of cops gathered behind the two. The water benders of the group created a huge volley of water in a ball, ready to flood out the room. The sergeant of the group held up his hand with three fingers pointed.

"On my mark," the sergeant ordered. "3... 2... 1!"

The entire group stormed the room. To the luck, the entire room was filled with equalist members; chi blockers.

"We have you out numbered and over powered, surrender now," the Sergeant declared. Just before the main equalist was about to speak the lights went dark. Everyone of both sides went crazy. Mako did the sensible thing a created a flame in his hand. What he did not expect was the six-foot behemoth standing in front of him. Mako and the other cops looked up at the figure. In about eight seconds the figure moved and took out every single cop and equalist member. Mako threw various fire fists only to catch glimpses of the cloaked figure. Korra did not fair much better but was able to get back on her feet quickly. The lights came back on to reveal both equalist members and cops battered and beaten. Mako's wrist was possible broken from the fight. Korra was about to tend to him but was caught off by a crashing sound from the hallway. She ducked out and froze in fear. About fifteen ahead of her was the six-foot figure holding the equalist leader of that group by the neck two feet in the air. The figure himself had a long black cape and pointy ears from the top. Korra immediately thought of a bat. The man dressed as a bat was interrogating the leader.

"Where is he!?" He growled in a gravely voice to the equalist.

"Why would I tell you anything," the equalist said with obvious fear. The figure dressed as a bat lifted him up higher. "I only met him once a few weeks ago. Honest! He told me to train them and that was it! I never met spoke with him after that. I don't think he's still in the city anymore."

"Tell me more!" the figure demanded.

"Stop!" Korra yelled out from across the hallway. The black cloaked figure turned to see Korra throwing fire fists at him. The figure dropped the equalist and pulled up his cape. The fire fists dissolved in the cape. Dragon scales, Korra thought to herself. The figure ran away from Korra down the hall.

"Oh no you don't!" Korra proclaimed as she darted after the man. She took a stance and began to earth bend the stone floor beneath her to throw off the figure's footing. The man dressed as a bat pulled out some sort of device that shot a hook connected to a wire pointed to the ceiling. Within a split second he avoided the earth bending attack and was ascending to the ceiling. In the next split second the man through a dart like object at Korra. Korra bended a small rock to protect herself from the dart but the sheer force of impact knocked her off her feet. She got back up only to see the figure running away again.

"Stop!" she ordered chasing after him. She saw him approaching a ladder at the end of the hallway. Korra airbended towards the man. Her attack was successful and the man fell off his feet, Korra got in close.

"It's over," she proclaimed, as a smile of victory creeped up her face. The man looked up and Korra got a good look at his face, or rather his mask covered face. She startled back a little bit at what she saw. The man wore a mask in the shape of a bat's head. He had ears pointed up a few inches. The mask went down to about his nose, leaving only his mouth and chin exposed. Lastly there was his eyes: pure white. Something was covering them to make his eyes appear that way, but it was an utterly haunting sight to behold. The figure struck, delivering three clean hits to Korra's abdomen, left shoulder and right side of her face. Korra fell to her knees, she never felt this week since Amon took her bending away from her. The man stood up and pined Korra against a wall.

"What are you!?" Korra demanded in fear.

"I'm Batman!" the figure proclaimed. That was the last thing Korra heard before all everything went black.
