Shiro Shinobi: [Narrating a newsreel.] After a hundred and seventy years, there are new airbenders in the world and Bumi is one of them! So too is the mysterious Zaheer, who escaped from his prison thanks to his new ability. Now banished from Republic City, Korra made it her mission to find the new airbenders. Will she and Tenzin be able to bring back the Air Nation?
Air Temple Island
We see an airship preparing to land at Air Temple Island. Air Acolytes pull the airship in with ropes. Kya, Pema, Tenzin, Rohan, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, Bolin, Bumi, Zakai, and Korra all stand together, as the airship lands. The doors slide open and Asami is seen standing just inside the vehicle.
AsamiDid someone order a fully equipped Future Industries airship?
Korra: It's perfect! Thanks Asami.
Asami: I figured if we're going to Ba Sing Se to search for airbenders, we should do it in style.
Zakai: Asami... I'm so in love I could kiss you.
This made Korra extremely jealous as she stares at Zakai with a glare he didn't see.
Meelo:Yay, airship!
Ikki: [Using her Airbending in Making an air scooter.] I wanna see!
Ikki scooters up the ramp of the airship. Follow by Meelo and Poki his Flying Lemur bat pet.
Meelo: C'mon, Poki.
Poki climbs onto Meelo's head. Meelo then makes an air scooter and follows Ikki up the ramp into the airship.
Kya: While you guys are gone, Pema and I will hold down the fort.
Kya picks up Rohan and bounces him gently up and down.
Kya: [In a cooing tone to Rohan.] Who's excited to spend some time with your Auntie Kya?
Rohan vomits on Kya's chest.
Kya: [Disgusted.] Oh!
Pema: Aw, he likes you.
Kya waterbends the vomit off of herself. As they look behind the Ramp we see Mako as he decides to go along as well.
Korra: Mako, I'm so glad you're here.
Mako: Of course, Korra. [Suddenly self-conscious.] Avatar. Avatar Korra. [Stands up very straight, begins to speak in a very professional tone.] Once I received your message I proceeded to contact various locations within the Earth Kingdom as ordered by you, the Avatar.
Korra[Sarcastic.] Right, the Avatar thanks you for your loyal service. Did you find any more leads?
Mako: There are reports of airbenders popping up all over the Earth Kingdom. I marked the villages on this map. [Takes off the map slung over his shoulder.] You guys can take it with you.
Korra: Actually, I was kind of hoping you could come, too.
Mako: Really? Uh, it's probably better if I sit this one out.
Korra: I know things have been weird between us since we broke up, but you're a part of Team Avatar, and we can't do this without you.
Mako: I'm sorry, I can't.
As Korra and Bolin and Zakai look at Mako as he leaves as they feel bad their missing one Team member short we see Pema and Tenzin say their goodbyes as Zakai looks over them.
Pema: [Kisses Tenzin on the cheek.] I'll miss you, sweetie.
Tenzin: I'll miss you too. Once we find the airbenders, I'll send word. You can join us at the Northern Air Temple then.
Ikki and Meelo come down off the airship on their air scooters, visibly disgruntled with jealousy.
Ikki: Hey! How come Jinora gets to go with you but we don't? That's so not fair!
Meelo: Yeah! What this girl said! Not fair!
The adults look worriedly at each other.
Zakai: Because if airbenders show up here, they're gonna need some guidance from the two of you. It's a very important job.
This was enough for the two children to love that idea much to the Adult's surprise that Zakai had came up with that Idea for them.
Ikki: Really? Me, a teacher? [Begins to spin and jump in place.] Yay!
Meelo: Those maggots will bow to me!
Tenzin: Go easy on them, son.
Zakai: [Chuckles.] You should Listen to your father. Excuse me.
Zakai then stars running much to Korra surprise.
Korra: Where are you going?
Zakai: Just trying to keep Team Avatar together. Come along Bolin.
Bolin immediately liking that idea followed Zakai down the stairs as Korra simply smiles at Zakai for being so much different then before, he was usually moody but nowadays he more outgoing, Protective, friendly, and more supportive of everyone around him. Korra could not believe how much time she had gotten to know the real Zakai.
Near the Air Temple Docks
We see Mako was heading towards the boat but then, Zakai and Bolin stop him from leaving.
Bolin: Mako, wait a sec.
Mako[Turns to face his Brothers.] Korra already asked, bro. I can't just leave Republic City. I have a life here, and a job.
Zakai: So living under your desk is living life? That's not a life that's scraping by. I should know, I was in that situation. But this is something more important then your job not that it isn't important but this seems to a bit more then catching criminals.
Bolin: Yeah! And what's a more important job than helping the Avatar rebuild an entire civilization?
Mako: It's not just that. [Turns away and faces the city.] I feel like I've been drifting apart from everyone.
Bolin: Well, drift back, we need you! C'mon Mako, we're going to Ba Sing Se, where Dad grew up. What if I meet our grandma for the very first time, and she asks me [Imitating an old woman.] "Where's your sweet brother?" and I have to say "I'm sorry, Grandma, he had some really important police paperwork to file" and she starts to cry those grandma tears, and is like [Imitates his grandmother again and grabs Mako's shoulders.] "Mako! Why? Why? I can't go on, I ca--" [Suddenly changes back to his normal voice.] and then she dies.
Zakai: That is dark. But he does have a point. What if you guys met your family. It might be good for you to figure out your roots. Who knows maybe I can meet my mother's side of the family.
Mako: Okay, all right, [Pushes Bolin off.] I'll come with you. I guess I gotta call Beifong. She's not going to be happy.
Zakai: Ahh, no worries I'm sure she'll be fine without you for a couple weeks.
Back to the Airship
We see the airship leaving Air Temple Island. Kya, Pema, Ikki, and Meelo all wave to their departing family members.
Meelo: Bye! We'll miss you!
Bumi, Asami, Korra, Tenzin, Jinora, Bolin, Zakai and Mako wave back through the green-tinted glass window of the airship. On deck, Naga puts her head over the railing and allows her tongue to hang out, as she feels the wind on her face. Oogi comes up next to her and does the same.
Interior Airship
We look to the interior of the airship, where the group sit around a table with the map in the center of them.
Mako: As of now, these are the towns where we've gotten reports about airbenders. It looks like we can hit up most of them before we get to Ba Sing Se.
Korra: We're going to bring the Air Nation back from the brink of extinction after nearly two hundred years.
Tenzin: And it's all because of you, Korra.
As they smile at Korra Zakai suddenly had a chill much to everyone looking at him Weird.
Asami: Is something wrong?
Zakai: I don't know. I just had a chill, usually means that something bad is going to happen.
Bolin: Well you are standing under a vent.
Zakai then looks up and Bolin was right as we see cold air from the out come inside.
Zakai: Oh. Nevermind then.
Zakai then moves away from the Vent as he smiles at everyone there but how would he know that his chilling feeling would be actually right.
In the Middle of the Ocean
We see a large boat made entirely of wood in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean. Two White Lotus sentries stand in the two guard towers built to watch over the single wooden cage on the main deck. Inside the cage is Ghazan, a man with long black hair and blue tattoos on his back and arms, and who is currently doing pull-ups using the wooden braces of his prison. A speed boat decorated with the White Lotus emblem and colors heads toward the wooden boat.
White Lotus sentry: Finally. Our shift change is here.
The two sentries make their way over to the stopped speed boat. To their surprise, there is only one White Lotus member in the vessel.
White Lotus sentry: Hey! Where are the other guards?
The White Lotus sentry in the speed boat looks up and shows his face it was Zaheer.
White Lotus sentry: [Surprised.] Zaheer?!
Zaheer uses airbending to propel himself out of the speed boat over the White Lotus' firebending attack. He knocks the two sentries overboard with an airbending attack.
As more sentries start coming out of the guard tower, Zaheer blasts two more overboard. A third sentry waterbends at Zaheer, who dodges out of the way and avoids a firebending blast as well.
Ghazan tries to watch what is happening through the many wooden beams of his cage. Zaheer avoids another waterbending attack and jumps on top of Ghazan's cage. He jumps down and throws a handful of rocks into Ghazan's cage.
Ghazan smiles. Zaheer knocks over another sentry and launches himself up onto the platform between the two guard towers. In his cage, Ghazan earthbends the rocks in a constant circle. He heats the rocks up to the point where they become lava and forms a five-pointed shuriken with it.
Ghazan slices the wall of his prison using the lava and kicks a section of the wood out, knocking down one sentry. As Ghazan exits his prison, he knocks a sentry overboard. Zaheer and Ghazan clasp hands.
Zaheer: It's nice to see you again, Ghazan.
Ghazan: Thanks for busting me out. Where did you pick up the new skills?
Zaheer: I have Harmonic Convergence to thank for that. I was given a gift. I believe it's a sign that our path is a righteous one.
Meanwhile In the Earth Kingdom
We see a Airship flying over a rural village as we see Team Avatar, Bumi, Tenzin, and Jinora as the Townsman show up to greet them more so from Avatar Korra.
Townsman: Avatar Korra! Oh it's such an honor to have you come to our humble village.
Korra: Thanks.
Tenzin: I hate to get down to business, but is the airbender here now?
Townsman: Kuon and his family will be joining us shortly for a special dinner. Please, right this way.
The Mayor's House
We see Korra's party, the mayor, and Kuon's family seated down at a table filled with a spread of food.
Townsman: Kuon has been the talk of the town ever since he's got airbending; he's like a local celebrity.
Tenzin: I just want to say it's an honor to meet a fellow airbender.
Kuon: Oh, I still think of myself as a simple farmer. Who can airbend! [Airbends a pie into Bolin's face.] Oh, I'm so sorry! I still don't have any control.
Bolin: No worries! I love pie. And so does Pabu. [Pabu licks his face and drags the pie away.]
Tenzin: Well, you're so much more than just a farmer now. Harmonic Convergence changed everything. You represent the future of a culture that is being reborn. You're going to help us rebuild the Air Nation.
Kuon: I'm gonna do what now? The only thing I'm planning to rebuild is my barn.
Tenzin: But you must come with us to the Northern Air Temple.
Kuon: Well, I can't do that. I have a family and a farm.
Tenzin: Of course you can come. This is of the utmost importance. Your wife will understand
.
Kuon's wife: Wait, what? No, I do not understand.
Kuon's daughter: Daddy, where are you going? Why does the bald man want to take you away?
Kuon's wife: No one's going to take Daddy away, sweetheart.
Korra: Actually, this bald man does want to take him, but it's for an important cause. Your dad is an airbender, and he should learn about his culture.
Kuon: I think there's been some sort of misunderstanding. I'm not going with you. I might be able to airbend, but I'm no Air Nomad, I'm no monk.
Townsman: Okay, maybe we should just have some dessert huh? Who's up for dessert?
Tenzin: Sir, you must understand, you're an airbender now, and there are thousands of years of culture you must learn about, skills you must master.
Kuon: You expect me to abandon my entire life? My family? [Stands.] No! No sir, I'm not going anywhere with you and I think it's best that you leave.
Much to Tenzin shock that he just wanted to be a Farmer and not part of the Air Nation.
At Night
We see the Airship flying at night where we look in the interior where Team Avatar is having a meeting.
Korra: In my head, I saw that playing out very differently.
Asami: Maybe we should have stayed and tried harder to convince him to join us.
Bolin: Or we could have thrown him in a potato sack and forced him into the ship.
Zakai: We're not kidnapping people. People don't kidnap other people.
Bumi: Actually...[Reading while on the couch.] That's how they got me to join the United Forces.
Zakai: Maybe this is what my chilling feeling is about. Maybe we should con people into getting people to join the air nation.
Tenzin: No, we can't coerce people, or throw them in potato sacks. They must come freely. But not to worry, there are plenty of other airbenders out there who will be happy to come with us once they find out what the Air Nation is all about.
Zakai: So we're going to con them right?
Tenzin: NO!
As Tenzin express his idea on conning people to get them to join people was wrong we see a Map of the Earth Kingdom and the Airship that was now a cartoon. The airship is shown moving across a cartoon version of the world map to indicate the crew's journey, with all of the crew depicted as chibi heads of themselves.
First EarthVillage
The scene changes to the back view of a mother and her young son standing at an open door.
Tenzin: When your son becomes a master, he'll have tattoos all over his body, just like me.
Door slams in front of Tenzin as the mother protects her son from him.
Cartoon Map
We go back to see all the Chibi characters and their cartoon ship go to their next destination.
The Second EarthVillage
Tenzin was Addressing a gourmand as he was chewing on a drumstick.
Tenzin: There's nothing more nutritious than our vegetarian diet. [Door slams.]
Cartoon Map
We see them going on the next sighting as the Chibi faces start to change from a smile to mildly worried looks as they haven't gotten anyone to join.
The Third Village...
We see Tenzin talking to a Fashionista as he tries to tell her the wonders of being in a Air nation.
Tenzin: I can tell that you're going to love wearing our ancient airbender robes. They're very breathable. [Door slams.]
Cartoon Map
The Forth location and now the Chibi team Avatar was now getting even more worried as they have not met one that was willing to go with them.
Forth Village...
Tenzin: [Addressing a fourth new airbender.] You'll never have to worry about your worldly possessions again, because you won't have any.
The Door slams and only Tenzin's head can be seen through the diamond shaped glass panel on the door as he looks disappointed.
Fifth Village...
Tenzin: You'll get to shave your head. [Door slams.]
Sixth Village...
Tenzin: Your best friend will be a giant bison! [Door slams.]
Cartoon Map
By this point the chibi crew all look glum, with tears flowing from the eyes of Bolin and Bumi. The view zooms in on the chibi Bolin before fading to an image of the real Bolin...
Reality
As we see sitting in the airship's interior with the rest of the crew and looking depressed. As Zakai was taking Tape measurements of Tenzin body.
Tenzin: Ugh, I really thought I had that last guy. Who doesn't want a bison as their best friend? [Turns to Zakai, Annoyed.] What are you doing?
Zakai: Taking height measurements.
Tenzin: Measurements of What?
Zakai: Oh, just a little project I'm working on. And by the way good on you for finding that Fashionista I got some interesting fabric I bought from her.
Tenzin: [Silently to himself.] At least someone's happy...
Bumi: It's okay Tenzin, I still want to be an airbender.
Korra: Okay, we've tried it your way, and people just don't seem to be responding. It's time for a little tough love.
The Next Village
We see a mother opens the door, revealing Korra, Zakai, Bolin and Mako waiting outside.
Ryu's mother: Oh, are you the Avatar?
Interior of the Ryu Family House
Ryu's Mother: When my son got airbending, my husband and I were so happy. We thought this could open a lot of doors for him, maybe he could finally move out of the basement. [Chuckles.]
Korra: [Chuckles with the mother.] How old is he?
Ryu's mother: He's twenty-two, and you know, still just to figuring his life out.
Zakai: Well, We have a great opportunity for him. We're looking for airbenders to join us at the Northern Air Temple.
Ryu's mother: Ah, that sounds wonderful! I'll get him. [Authoritatively.] Ryu! Get up here!
Team Avatar exchange thumbs up gestures with one another. Ryu enters the living room.
Korra: [Outstretches a hand.] Hi, I'm Korra.
Ryu: So you're like the Avatar or something. Big deal.
Ryu didn't seem very active as he must've been a lazy person to not want a lot in life.
Zakai: [Whispers To Korra.] Do you want me to knock him out?
Korra then elbows Zakai as he grunts and rubs his gut in pain.
Korra: Uh, I just wanted to talk to you about an opportunity.
Ryu: Yeah, I heard you talking to my mom, and I'm not interested. [Walks back.]
Zakai: Ok. Let's try this again.
Zakai grabs Ryu by the collar, airbends a chair out from under a table, and throws Ryu into it. As Korra, Mako, and Bolin see Zakai threatening him and practically forcing him to join.
Zakai: You're an airbender now and you have a responsibility as a citizen of the world.
Ryu: Whatever. I didn't ask to become an airbender, you know.
Korra: [Scoffs.] Well, I didn't ask to be the Dark Avatar, Korra didn't ask to be Avatar, but we are, and I'm helping my friend fulfilling her duties.
Korra was a bit saddened by that as she looks down as she seemed to want something more between the two.
Ryu: So? You don't have to.
Zakai: Yes, I do have to.
Ryu: No, you don't.
Zakai: Yes, I do!
Ryu: No, you don't.
Zakai: [Frustrated.] Why... you... [Calm.] Korra take over before I lose my cool.
Korra did what Zakai said and took over as she starts to tell him why she needs to do this.
Korra: Sorry about Zakai but he's right. If I didn't embrace my role, then our entire world could be thrown into chaos. Think about that! Is that what you want?
Ryu: Isn't Zakai the Dark Avatar?
Korra: Yeah.
Ryu: Is he trying to throw the world into Chaos?
Korra: No. He's chosen not be that Avatar anymore.
Ryu: Then I'm not going to be part of Air-bending nation. I honestly don't mind if the world is in Choas.
Zakai: That's a terrible thing to ask for!
Ryu: So what? Who cares?
Zakai: Everyone cares!
Ryu: I don't care.
Zakai: [Slams table.] Yes, you do!
Ryu: No, I don't.
Zakai: [Angry.] THATS IT! You're about to care, you little slacker, because you're coming with us! [Grabs Ryu by the collar and drags him out of the house.]
Much to everyone surprise as usually Korra would be the one to drag him out.
Ryu: Stop pulling on my collar! You're stretching it out! Mom, are you just gonna let her take me?!
Ryu's mother: I think it's a great opportunity. Just try it for a week and see how it goes.
Ryu: No! Let me go!
Ryu releases a blast of airbending from his hands, propelling himself back into the house; Zakai is left at the door, holding on to the two halves of his ripped jacket.
Zakai: That's it! I'm going to--
Zakai tries to walk back into the house but Mako and Bolin each grab him by the arm and start to pull him away. As Zakai struggles before Korra was a bit weirded out by Zakai angry outburst.
Mako: Zakai, enough! Let's get out of here!
Bolin: So nice to meet you! Good luck with your son!
Korra: Um... Sorry he's not usually this angry. [To Ryu.] Also get out more maybe you'll enjoy life even more.
Korra then goes with Zakai, Bolin, and Mako as Ryu Mother pushes him off of her.
In another Prison
Somewhere in a Volcanic part of the World, we see a prison littered with White Lotus sentries. We look down to show several levels of catwalk around the inner edges of a large octagonal building. The structure is positioned above a vast pit of lava. A single cage suspended with wires rests in the center of the building, floating high above the bubbling lava below. The small cage is braced with metal bars and holds Ming-Hua, a woman with long, black hair and no arms.
White Lotus sentry #1: We're under attack!
White Lotus sentry #2: Look out!
Ming-Hua looks up in interest and sees a large blast of fire from one of the White Lotus. Two sentries are thrown off of their platforms with blasts of airbending. Up on the platform, Ghazan throws a barrel out over the cage.
Zaheer, dressed as a White Lotus member, slices the barrel open with airbending and water gushes out. Ming-Hua spins and waterbends the falling water into a pair of tentacle-like arms, occupying the space where her nonexistent arms would normally be. She knocks open the door of her cage and begins to climb. She launches herself up to a platform and throws a White Lotus member off. Ming-Hua dodges a fire blast and propels herself to a higher platform using her "arms".
She lands on the second-to-highest platform and freezes the end of her water arm into an angled piece of ice and uses it to hook the neck of a White Lotus and hurl him off of the platform. She simultaneously grabs another White Lotus member and slams him hard on the metal platform. Zaheer and Ghazan run up behind her.
Ming-Hua: I never thought I'd be so happy to see your ugly mugs again.
Ghazan: Great to see you too, Ming-Hua.
Ming-Hua: [Turns to Zaheer.] I'm flattered. You busted me out before that girlfriend of yours.
Zaheer: We're getting her next.
Ming-Huh: What about our student?
Ghazan: Yeah, you haven't heard anything about him have you?
Zaheer: I have. But we're getting him last.
As ominous as that was who was this Student that they were talking about as all three smile.
In the Airship
We see Team Avatar are in a room with a large table surrounded by filled chairs. In the chairs are Korra, Tenzin, Bumi, Bolin, Asami, Zakai and Mako. All of them look very disheartened.
Zakai: I guess I went a bit overboard on the tough love area.
Mako: Ya think? You nearly tried to kill him.
Zakai: He Didn't even care about himself! I was just trying to scare him! I just don't like it when someone says it's fine for the world to end when it was nearly destroyed a few months ago?
Korra: In which you actually saved as well.
Zakai: You saved the world. Everyone gonna think that I'm a monster that nearly destroyed the world.
Zakai then gets up and leaves the group as everyone sees him leave the group.
Zakai: I'm going go to train.
As he left the Room everyone was depressed even Korra as she feels bad for him
Tenzin: [Dejectedly.] Well, I guess we should just go to Ba Sing Se and try our luck there.
Korra: I don't know what to do. I just thought more people would be excited about coming with us.
Bumi: Well, maybe you gotta do more to get them excited. You need to add a little razzle-dazzle.
Bolin: Yeah, razzle-dazzle! We could put on some sort of airbending street performance!
Bumi: I was gonna say we could cover Tenzin's robe in sequins, but that's even better!
Korra: It sounds ridiculous, but it might work.
Tenzin: I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Bolin: Yes! That is the kind of enthusiasm I like to hear!
Seventh Village
As we see the airship flying close over an Earth Kingdom town, made up of sandy-colored rocks. A small crowd has gathered to watch the airship.
Bolin: [Up on the airship speaking through a megaphone.] Come one, come all to witness The Amazing Airbenders! The airbending show that will leave you breathless ... with wind! First up, the tattooed master himself, you know him as the son of Avatar Aang, he shaves every hair on his head, every single day!
Tenzin takes his shirt off and turns to face the audience.
Bolin: It's the one, the only guy with an arrow pointing to his nose, Tenzin!
Tenzin airbends a large wheel and drives it around in front of the awed crowd. The crowd begins to cheer as Tenzin stops in the middle of the half-circle created by the audience and throws his hands up in the air.
Bolin: Now, now, ladies and gentleman, ladies and gentleman, please be quiet. I have some serious news. We've heard that an escaped firebending convicts has been spotted near here. [Crowd begins nervous murmuring.] Now, I don't want to panic anyone, but if you see a one firebender with with a red scarf-As we see Mako and Zakai as the two were part of this Charade as a Crowd member spots Mako.
Crowd member: I see him! He's right there!
Mako: [Very stiffly.] I am the escaped convict, and you will all reap my fire.
Zakai: [Very Menacing.] And I am his Brother! We are the Flamio Brothers and we demand that this town pay us with their belongings! [to Mako.] Show them we mean business brother!
Mako pauses before letting out a small blast of fire from his fist into the air. The whole crowd gasps.
Bolin: [Crowd continues to mutter.] Oh no! Who will help us?
Korra: I will. With my airbending skills!
Korra catches Mako and Zakai in an airbent tornado. She lets Mako and Zakai go and he falls, but she catches Mako and Zakai with another airbending blast and brings him up in another tornado.
Mako[slightly panicking.] Ah! Hey! Let me go! This is not what we rehearsed! Korra!
Zakai: Hey! This isn't that bad! Hey I can see our hideout from here!
Mako: Not Helping!
Korra laughs and turns to Asami, who also starts to chuckle at Zakai as he was laughing like a kid. Oogi soars through the air and does a barrel roll.
Bolin: With the power of airbending, even this beast can float! [Whispered.] Like a feather. [Bumi begins to show off some air blasts.] Look what can be done in only a few short weeks of practice!
Jinora flies over the crowd on her glider. The whole crowd frightfully gasps.
Bolin: No no, don't worry folks. She might be young, but she is in full control!
Jinora softly lands on the peak of a tall fountain. The entire crowd begins to cheer.
Bolin: Ladies and gentlemen, if you, or anyone you know is an airbender, please, send them our way! Master Tenzin and Avatar Korra would love to teach them all they know!
Korra shrugs and smiles at Tenzin. The crowd begins to disperse. Then a young boy by the name of Kai, runs up to the group.
Kai: Hey! Hello. If you're looking for airbenders, you just found one.
Kai proceeds to demonstrate his airbending abilities.
Kai: I wanna join you guys.
The group becomes excited.
Bolin: Get outta town!
Korra: We got our first recruit. [To Kai.] Just to be totally clear, we're going to be heading to Ba Sing Se, then the Northern Air Temple to live as nomads and rebuild the Air Nation. All that sound good to you?
Kai: Yeah, Ba Sing Se, rebuild the temple, Air Nomad what-do-you-do, I'm in. Let's go right now.
Bolin: [Bolin jumps in the air.] This is going to be so great! [To Kai.] You going to love it, er ... ah ... real quick, what's your name?
Kai: Kai. So when do we hit the road?
Tenzin: Hang on a second Kai, where are your parents? We can't have you come with us without their permission.
Kai: [Looking down.] My parents are ... gone. [Korra looks at Tenzin.]
Zakai: You're an orphan?
KaiIt happened about a year ago. My home town was raided by outlaws, but my parents fought back against them. I was so scared, but they told me not to worry they would protect me, and they did. My parents saved me and the entire village, but they died in the fight. Mum and pap meant everything to me, they're were my whole life. [Bolin starts to shed some tears.] Ever since then, I've been on my own and on the run. Those same outlaws are still after me.
Bolin: Well, you don't have to be on the run anymore, [Looks at the rest of the group.] right guys? Tell him.
Tenzin: I'm so sorry about your parents. I know we could never replace them ... [Puts his hand on Kai's shoulder.] but we are here for you.
Korra: We'll keep you safe, come on.
Bolin: [Wraps his arm around Kai's shoulder.] When you board this airship, you're going to leave your old life behind and start a new path. That's big brother advice. Just think of me as your big brother. [Kai smiles at Bolin.]
After everyone boards the airship, Mako stops and walks away from the group. He stares out a window and sees a group of motorcyclists in official-looking uniforms pulling to a stop outside their airship.
Mako: Guys! I think we got trouble.
The whole group turns around, the lead motorcyclist gets off his motorcycle and takes his helmet off. He walks up to the airship and takes his glasses off.
Mystery Man: Release the boy, or we'll take him by force.
The leader of this group clenches his fist as his buddies each earthbend a rock from the ground and get into a fighting stance.
Kai: The outlaws! They're after me ... Uh, let's get out of here. [Grabs on to Korra's arm.]
Korra: We are not running away from anyone.
The airship door opens to reveal Korra standing at the top.
Korra: [Addresses the Outlaws.] If you want Kai, you'll have to go through me!
The outlaws launch their rocks at Korra, who jumps out of the airship's door and destroys the rocks with airbending, before rolling on the ground and airbending at the outlaws, knocking them all over. The leader of the outlaws soon gets back up and earthbends at Korra, who dodges the attack and knocks down the lead outlaw with her own earthbending move.
Korra: Your days of harassing an innocent boy is over. You outlaws are going to prison.
Outlaw Leader: Outlaws? Innocent boy? I'm a sheriff [He looks at his badge before looking up.] and these are my deputies, and this kid is a thief. [Korra opens her eyes wide in surprise.] Whatever he told you was a lie, we've been chasing him for months.
Korra then realized she's been tricked by Kai.
Korra: Where's Kai?
Korra turns around, failing to see Kai or Mako among the group.
Mako: Right here.
Everyone looks to where Mako was as he was walking toward her, holding Kai with one hand and a sack with the other.
Mako: Right here, I found him slipping away.
Kai: I was just going to the bathroom.
Mako: With your stash of gold?
Mako throws the sack toward the sheriff. When it hits the ground, jewelry and gold spill out.
Kai: I told you, I found this on the road.
Mako: Enough with the lies kid. I want the truth.
Earth Kingdom sheriff: The truth is, he's the outlaw. He spent an entire life in an orphanage, got adopted by a real nice family six months ago, and how did he repay them? By taking their entire life savings. We've been after him ever since.
Korra: Is that true?
Kai: The person who stole that stuff was the old me. Once I got airbending, I changed. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like airbending choose me for a reason, like I'm a new person. I'm sorry! Please, you have to listen to me.
Bolin looks sad as Zakai looks down in thought as if thinking about his past. As the sheriff and his deputies start to take him away, along with the sack of gold.
Bolin: Are, are you taking him back to the orphanage?
Earth Kingdom sheriff: No, he's headed to jail.
Zakai: Wait! You've got the family's life savings, now let us take Kai.
Much to Tenzin disagreement and Korra was shocked at his sudden selfless act as she felt it was nice of him.
Tenzin: Do you really want our first member of the Air Nation to be a liar and a thief?
Zakai: Korra. Please, he just needs some guidance. Who better to give it to him than us?
Earth Kingdom sheriff: Do you want this boy or not?
Korra: He's under your responsibility.
Zakai: I'll take care of him as if he were my little brother.
Korra: Alright. You heard him Tenzin. Can he come with us?
Tenzin: [Strokes his beard and thinks for a while.] Yes, you can release the boy into our custody.
The sheriff's deputies let go of the Kai's hands. He smiles and runs to hug Zakai.
Kai:Thank you!
Zakai:Don't make me regret it.
Bolin and Jinora approach him; she smiles toward him and Bolin hugs Zakai and Kai.
Bolin: Welcome to the family, little bro.
As Korra smiles at Zakai as he agreed to watch over him as she realizes that Zakai loves to protect others even getting angry enough to try and beat a shut in that didn't care for life. Zakai was honorable, Kind, Brave, Selfless and cares for others then himself. Even if he tells others that he's a villain or evil it was actually a facade and he would never actually hurt anyone unless they were bad men.
As Jinora hugs Bolin, Zakai, and Kai. Bumi goes and hugs Tenzin, much to his annoyance. The sheriff and his deputies drive away from the scene. As the group goes back onto the airship, Mako stops Kai, turns his head around to better look at his face, and bends down.
Mako: I just want you to know that I'm going to be watching you, kid. I know exactly what you're all about, 'cause I've been there before. You don't have me fooled.
Mako stands up and moves back from Kai, who in turn backs away from Mako.
Kai: Woah! Hey, lighten up. [Putting his hands in his pockets.] I'm turning over a new leaf, making a change. [Starts walking into the airship.] Don't you worry about me.
Jinora: Hi, I'm Jinora. [Blushing, while Tenzin passes her by to enter the airship.] If you need any help with airbending, I could show you what I know.
Kai: Thanks, that's real nice of you. [Smiles at Jinora.]
Tenzin: [Jinora looks in surprise.] Jinora, we're leaving now. [Jinora walks into the airship and smiles at Kai.]
The scene zooms out and shows the whole Future Industries airship.
Ming Hua's prison
We see a desert terrain, which has a fence and volcano nearby. We zoom into the prison and shows Ming Hua's empty cell, before going up to show a White Lotus sentry and an elderly Zuko standing on the higher tier of the prison.
White Lotus sentry: They came out of nowhere. [He bows his head down.] I'm so sorry, Lord Zuko.
Zuko: How could you let this happen?
White Lotus sentry: They caught us by surprise, and Zaheer is an airbender now.
Zuko: [Alarmed by the revelation.] No! This can't be. [Looking at the White Lotus Sentry.] Do you have any idea the power these criminals possess? Individually, they can take down any bender. [Looks down in fear.] Put them all together, they could take down the entire world. And now you're telling me that their leader is an airbender?
White Lotus sentry: We can track them.
Zuko: We don't need to track them, I know exactly where they're going. [As he and the White Lotus Sentry walk out of the prison, the shot fades to white.] Notify the new chiefs of the Northern Water Tribe that an attack on their prison is imminent, [The white fades out to reveal Druk, Zuko's dragon.] and send word to Lin Beifong in Republic City. The Avatar must be protected.
Zuko's dragon lowers its neck and Zuko gets on it.
White Lotus sentry: Where are you going?
Zuko: [Mounting Druk.] To stop them.
Druk roars and flies off into the distance.
A/N: This is not good Zaheer has gathered two people one Earthbendsr, one Waterbender and now their heading towards the forth one and now their looking for their student after the fourth one. Also individually they can take down any bender on their own but together can take the world down. I'm worried about Team Avatar new enemies.
