Korra's POV

The Waterbender willed the water around him and threw a water whip at me that I barely managed to evade. I pulled out the duo blades and blocked the various ice attacks he sent towards me. Two water tentacles wrapped themselves around my wrists and forced me to drop the blades before slamming me against a pillar.

I huffed as I got up. It was time to end this. I took a deep breath and spun around until I formed a sphere out of pure air, willing it towards the councilman. I could see his mouth drop as the attack came towards him, leaving him wide open. He grunted and got back up but I threw a series of air punches that kept him away from me.

I quickly ran towards the bags, grabbing them and the swords before making an air tornado that sliced through the roof. I went up to the second floor again and noticed the police force was coming in, Mako at the lead. I cursed again and went in the opposite direction.

When I reached the room I used Airbending to close the doors but Mako somehow managed to get in. I held back a growl. I really didn't want to fight him, and he was making this so damn difficult. I simply pulled out a blade and threw it at him. He was pushed back as the blade went through his scarf, nailing him to the door.

I looked back at him before creating an airscooter and landing with no problem on the ground. When I looked up I saw that Mako had gotten out of his restraint and was looking down at me. I took one last look at him before running off.

Mako's POV

I couldn't believe this. The Blue Spirit was in fact real and both Korra and Tarrlok had been telling the truth. I guess the Chief had been right. There is a first time for everything. The next thing that definitely took me by surprise was that this Blue Spirit creature was an Airbender. There were only four Airbenders left. Five before Korra lost her Bending. I couldn't believe that any of them could be this creature.

"What happened?" Lin asked as she came through the door.

I took my gaze off the masked figure's retreating figure to look at her. "The Blue Spirit was here," I said.

"I know that!" she snapped. "What happened?"

"It-uh, it-" I began, not knowing exactly how to tell her. I mean, I was still processing it all.

"Get on with it!"

"The Blue Spirit is an Airbender."

The Chief raised a brow at this. "What?"

"That thing can Airbend," Tarrlok repeated as he came inside the room. "And it took the money."

"Which way did it go?"

"Towards Avatar Korra's Ball," I informed her.

Lin nodded. "Let's move!" she barked.

Lin's POV

I couldn't believe what I'd just heard. The Blue Spirit, as all my men referred to the masked creature, was an Airbender. I clenched my jaw at this. Tenzin would have a lot of explaining to do next time I saw him. I hoped, for his sake, all of his family was accounted for tonight. I marched inside the Ball and ordered for the music to be turned off.

"Search the entire building, basement included. Find it!" I commanded as Mako and I went towards the Avatar. "Republic City Police!" I announced. "The party is over."

Everyone began to boo but I could frankly care less. I got on the stage and spotted the Sato heiress and I walked over to her.

"Well I am surprised to find you here," I told her.

The raven haired girl simply smiled before her friend came to her rescue. "Chief Bei Fong," she said. "It's a private party."

"Someone just stole forty thousand yuans from Councilman Tarrlok. Know anything about that?"

She shook her head. "I've been here all night," Korra replied. "I've been out of town for…a while, you know?"

"Yeah, well he just got attacked by the nut job with the mask," I said. "You know the one that saved your rear not too long ago."

"The Blue Spirit? Did you catch'em?" the Avatar asked. I simply clenched my jaw. She laughed and shook her head. "I'll take that as a no. But here, let me help you," she added before looking at the crowd. "Hey everyone! Has anyone seen some freak running around with a blue mask?"

The crowd began to laugh and shouted a 'no'. I stepped forward towards the stupid girl. I was no one's laughing stock. I saw the Sato girl looking nervous. She must've noticed her friend was walking on very thin ice. Korra looked back at me evenly.

"Everyone else might buy this little act of yours, but not me," I told her through my clenched teeth. "I'll be keeping a close eye on you."

"As you wish," she simply replied, that small smug smile on her face.

Asami's POV

I didn't know if it was just me or if Korra had been gone a long time. I went around the ballroom, asking everyone if they had seen her to no avail. Then suddenly Chief Bei Fong and her Metalbenders come in, saying that someone wearing a blue mask might have come inside here. That same someone was the one who supposedly had saved Korra and I at the warehouse when we were kidnapped. I was suspicious of that. Of course, I hadn't lied. I was a little dazed but I could almost swear I had…no. I doubt Korra would have the necessary skill to take on six people. Not to mention, she wouldn't have...killed someone...right?

"Some coincidence, huh?" I said to Korra. "You asking to have the Ball here, Tarrlok getting robbed across the street and by the same person that rescued us at the warehouse."

My best friend let a small smile appear before she leaned closer to me, a casual movement that wouldn't draw attention. "If I were you, Asami," she began. "I would just be glad to be alive."

I shuddered a little at her tone before turning to look at her. This was not the Korra I knew. This was someone else. "What happened to you in the Boling Rock?" I asked my voice barely above a whisper. I was afraid to ask. I really was. Whatever had happened in that prison...I'm not sure I wanted to know.

"A lot," Korra replied, walking away from me.
