Hello Everyone, sorry if this chapter seems a little small and simple compared to the last chapter. Now let's start part 11.
Book Air Part 11
Ghost types in the closet
Republic City Park
It has been a few days since the battle and Amon has turned the city upside down. Mecha-Tanks stood in front of City hall, troops patrolled the streets, their flags were hung all over the city. And they defile Avatar Aang's statue by putting an Amon mask and their flags on it. Needless to say the people of this city we're not happy about this benders and non-benders alike. In the Park of Republic City Hiroshi was trying to give a speech to the city about how they have saved this city, but it wasn't going so well.
"It is a glorious day, my Equalist brothers and sisters. Amon has torn down the tyrannical bending government! He has declared bending illegal. And he has the Avatar and the Beastmasters on the run. Our great leader has a vision for the future one day soon, bending will no longer exist and we will live in a world where everyone is finally equal! The United forces are on their way right now to try and stop that dream. But we will Prevail!" Hiroshi said to a crowd of people.
"I hope they stop you, you mad men." A man said as he threw a rotten piece of fruit at Hiroshi. "Yeah you have done more damage to this city then any bender." A woman yelled. "The only tyrant around here is Amon." Another man yelled. "The Trainers were right Amon doesn't care about us he only wants power for himself." A man yelled. Soon the entire crowd started to yell at Hiroshi. All saying how they are the true tyrants of this city. Hiroshi left the stage in a rage. "Those Beastmasters, they're ruining everything!" Hioshi said as he left the crowd.
Meanwhile in the back of the crowd two boys and two girls in Equalist uniforms started to walk away from the crowd and into the back of the park away from the crowd. Soon they made it to a big rock and one of the girls earthbend the rock out of the way. Revealing a secret tunnel. Then all four of them jumped into the tunnel. Once they were in the girl earthbend the rock over the tunnel hiding it.
Once they were in the tunnel they took off their mask revealing Korra, Mako, Dakota, and Lily, "Well that went well." Lily said as they started to walk. "Can you believe Hiroshi? "The Avatar and the Beastmasters on the run." we're not running from anyone. Let's go back up there and knock some heads. They'll never know what hit them." Korra said to everyone. "Korra, relax, you heard those people. We have support in the city and we have back up on the way. The best thing we can do now is wait for the moment to strike." Dakota said to Korra.
"He's right. General Iroh's coming with an entire fleet of battleships. And the city is on our side. Once Iroh gets here it will be Amon who's on running." Mako said to Korra. "I hate this "being patient" stuff." Korra said to everyone. "We know Korra. Let's just get back to camp." Lily said as they continued to walk down the tunnel. Soon they made it to an underground camp where Lucas and Asami were watching Bolin play with Pabu. While Zoey was looking over the Pokemon seeing how everyone was doing.
"Welcome home guys." Lucas said as he noticed Korra. Mako, Lily, and Dakota, walk into the camp. "You four were gone a while." Asmai said to Mako as they all got up and walked to them. "We were doing reconnaissance." Mako said to Asmai. "Whatever." Asami said to Mako. "Anyway, report. What's the news from the surface?" Zeoy asked them. "The city is full of troops and Mecha-Tanks." Dakota said to Zoey. "Any good news?" Lucas asked them. "Yes they haven't finished fixing their Airships yet. And we have people that support us in the city. Once General Iroh gets here we should be able to drive Amon out or capture him." Lily said to Zoey. "That's if Hiroshi does have any more tricks up his sleeves." Zoey said to Lily.
"Welcome back! Hope you worked up an appetite, cause dinner is served." The Hobo Korra and Lucas met on their first day in the city said before dragging them to a pot. "Thanks so much for letting us hide out with you the past few days." Korra said to the Hobo. "Yeah thanks." Lucas as bowls of soup started getting passed around. "Honored to oblige. My associates and I hardly oppose Amon's so-called "Equalist" policies. Even before you Trainers started to face him." The Hobo said to everyone.
"Really?" Zoey said to the Hobo as they all got a bowl of soup. "Yeah, just look at us. We got benders and non-benders living together down here. But do you see us fighting? No, sir-ree. We've figured out how to harmoniously coexist." The hobo said to everyone. "You are a wise and noble hobo." Bolin said to the Hobo. "Enough talk let's eat." Dakota said to everyone as they started to eat. "Mmm. this is the best tasting street gruel I've ever had seriously." Bolin said as everyone took a sip of the soup.
"I culled it from the finest dumpsters the city has to offer." The Hobo said to Bolin making Asami, Lucas, Lily, Zoey, and Dakota stop eating. Then they all opened their mouths and let the soup fall back into the bowl. With their faces turned green. When no one was looking Asami hid the bowls behind her. And Pabu started to eat some of the soup. But the Trainers realized that they got nothing better to eat as just poured it down their throats trying to ignore what it was. Soon all four of them passed out with their faces turning purple.
Later that night Lucas woke up from the soup and saw Korra seated next to Naga and Mako walking to her. "Can't sleep either?" Mako asked Korra as Lucas got up and walked towards them. "No I have this awful pit in my stomach." Korra said to Mako. "Me too." Mako said as he took a seat next to Korra. "Sure it wasn't the soup," Lucas said with a joke tune in his voice as he sat next to them.. "Lucas I'm being serious." Korra said to Lucas. "Ok, ok, what's wrong?" Lucas asked Korra.
"It's so crazy. A few months ago I was in the south pole, practicing for my fre bending test. And now I'm in the middle of an all-out war." Korra said to them. "And a few months ago I was bored wondering what to do. Then I got sent here and I met you Korra. And we have become great friends with a lot of cool and interesting friends." Lucas said to Korra placing a hand on her shoulder.
"He's right I know. We didn't even know each other then. And now I can't imagine my life without you in it Korra. And Lucsa you and your friends saved me and my brother more times than I can count and for that I'm grateful. You five are the most loyal, brave and selfless people I've ever known." Mako said to Korra. "I think you're pretty incredible too, but you already knew that. And Lucas thank you for being my first real friend." Korra said to Mako. "And I must thank you both for all the adventure you gave us. You two are some of the best friends a person can ask for." Lucas said to them.
Then Mako and Korra stared into each other's eyes. "I should probably try to get some sleep." Korra said breaking eye contact. "Me too. Good night" Mako said as he got up and walked away from Korra. "Then good night everyone." Lucas said before returning back to sleep. "Good night." Korra said to Mako and Lucas as she tried to get some sleep.
Republic City Air Temple Island
On Air Temple Island Amon was taking the bending of every bender they captured during their attack. Each bender acted in defence to Amon before they had their bending taken away. All ways saying the same thing. "The Trainers will bet you." Which made Amon mader and mader every time he heard it.
Soon The Lieutenant brought a police officer to Amons feet. The police officer looked at Amon with furry in his eyes. "You will now be cleansed of your impurity." Amon said to the officer as he got behind the officer. "The Trainers will bet you." The Officer said as before Amon took his bending away and he fell to the floor. "Next." Amon said to The Lieutenant, trying to hide the rage in his voice. Then The Lieutenant brought another bender.
Republic City Docks
It was a foggy morning and everyone was under the docks looking around to see if the coast was clear. "Coast is clear." Mako said as they ran out of a sewer drain. "You four stay here." Daktoa said to the only Pokemon they brought. The Pokemon they brought were Garchomp, Altaria, Dragapult, and Golurk. Soon they made their way to the streets looking for the General Iroh's fleet. Bolin was the only one with a telescope so everyone else had to use their eyes. "Once the united forces arrive, we need to be ready to help in any way we can." Korra said to everyone. "They're here." Mako said to everyone. "Finally." Dakota said as they started to see the ships in the fog bank.
On the boat General Iroh was looking around for any sign of trouble. "Hmm. Amon had to know we were coming. So why aren't we meeting any resistance?" Iroh said looking around. "Wait a second. Where are the Equalist?" Korra asked everyone. "Then Mako started to look around the docks. "I don't see any Mecha-Tanks either." Mako said as he took a telescope out of Bolin's hands.
"Maybe their hiding in the city after all we did destroyed all, but one of their Airships. So maybe they plan to ambush them in the city." Lily said to Korra and Mako. "No that's not it. We're missing something?" Lucas said as he started to look around. What they didn't know was that Amon planted underwater mines. "Something's not right." Iroh said before one of the mines exploded. Soon more mines started to explode all around the ships. "It's a trick!" Iroh said to his men.
On the docks everyone watched as the mines went off. Then Korra jumped off the dock. "Korra be careful." Lily said as Korra hit the water. Once Korra was in the water she used her waterbending to help her get to the ships. "Water and earthbenders, detonate those mines!" Iroh ordered his men. Soon a low buzzing sound filled the air. "What is that sound?" Iroh said as he went outside. Korra then surfaced from the water. Then the buzzing sound got louder. "That's not a good sound." Zoey said as she looked up into the sky. "What now?" Mako said, looking through the telescope.
Then a lot of fighter planes came out of the clouds. These planes were small and fast. They had two wings on it one above the other connected by steel rigging. They had three engines, one in the front and two on the upper wing. And they had a good amount of torpedoes on them.
"Oh no!" Zoey said as they noticed the planes. "Where does Hiroshi find the time to keep inventing new evil machines?" Bolin asked everyone. "He probably made those after the battle. After all those are a lot faster and are smaller than an Airship." Lucas said to Bolin. "That would explain why they haven't been fixing their Airships. They have been working on those." Zoey said to Lucas.
"Their heading for the ships." Lily said looking at where they're going. "Dragapult, Garchomp, Golurk, Altaria, get up there and take down as many planes as you can." Lucas said to them. "Dragapult / Garchomp / Golurk / Altaria." The said waiting for their Trainers to get on their backs. "No go without us. We only get in the way." Zoey said to the Pokemon. "Dragapult / Garchomp / Golurk / Altaria." They all said, as they were worried about their Trainers. "Go we'll be fine." Lily said to them. "Dragapult / Garchomp / Golurk / Altaria." They all said before nodding and flying to fight the planes. "And watch each other back up there." Dakota said to the Pokemon.
While the Pokemon headed to the planes they were dropping bombs on to the ships below. Soon the ships started to take a lot of damage. Korra went back under water. Then the planes started to fire torpedoes at the ship. Korra used her water bending to them but the exposing of them hitting a ship pushed her away from the ship. Then another plane fired a torpedo at the ship. "Incoming!" A crew man said as the torpedo hit the ship.
Up in the sky the Equalist were feeling confident about the battle that they didn't notice Dragapult, Garchomp, Golurk, Altaria coming straight for them. Drgapult strikes first; he used Steel wing and then his fins turn long and silver and cut the rigging holding the wings together. "AAAAAAAH." The pilot of that plane said as he went down. Then Golurk came up to two planes and used Fire Punch and smashed the upper wings of those planes sending them crashing into the water. Altraia was next; she fired a Dragon pulse at a few of the bombs that they had just dropped. The attack made the bombs explode early making the plane spin out of control before crashing onto the water. The Garchomp used an Iron Head crashing through as many planes as he could.
"It's the Beasts, Squad A take them out, Squad B focus on those ships." A pilot Equalist said over the radio. Soon half the planes started to focus their attacks on the Pokemon. While the other half continue to attack the ships. "We got some cover and took out those machines." Iroh said to all of his men. Soon all the benders on the ships started to attack the planes taking a few of them down.
Korra saw this and decided to help. Her waterbend a volume of water under her to have a better view of the battle. She saw one plane close to the water and made a pillar of ice right in front of the plane. Then the plane crashed into it and crashed into Korra's water column. Korra then Screamed as she started to fall. But before she could hit the water Altaria caught her. "Altaria?" Altaria asked Korra as she flew just above the water. "Thanks Altaria." Korra said as a Plane fired a torpedo at them.
Korra then jumped off Altaria's back and into the water. Then she waterbend the tornado right back at the plane making it crash into the water. Meanwhile Iroh got into one of the crows' nests on his ship and started to launch fire attacks at the planes and bombs. Even though the Pokemon were taking out as many planes down as they could, the ships had taken too much damage and started to sink. Then three planes were heading to Iroh. Iroh launched multiple fire attacks at the planes and took out two of them. But the last one was able to dodged Iorh's attack and send a bomb right at him.
Iroh then used a fire attack to make the bomb explode early. But it still exploded right in front of him and sent him flying. But Golurk was able to catch Iroh before he crashed into anything. "Guy's let's go." Korra said to the Pokemon. "Dragapult / Garchomp / Golurk / Altaria." They all said they all dived into the water. Underwater Korra made an air bubble around everyone's head. "It's all right. We've got you." Korra said to Iroh as she rode Altraia while they swam back to the sewer drain. "Avatar Korra. You saved my life. Thank you." Iroh said to Korra. "You should thank Golurk for saving you." Korra said to Iroh before she used her waterbending to push them to the sewer drain.
Soon everyone went back to the camp to heal Iroh. "I was prepared to deal with Sato's Mecha-Tanks, but not these new high-speed aircraft." Iroh said to everyone while Korra was healing him with her waterbending. "They're called fighter planes. They always strike hard and fast." Zoey said to Iroh. "But how can we beat them, everytime we think we have an advantage, Amon outsmarts us." Korra said to Iroh and Zoey. "No matter what our plan is he always has a better one." Bolin said to Iroh
"But we have been able to counter him. After all, Dragapult, Garchomp, Golurk, and Altaria were able to take out a lot of them." Lily said to Korra and Bolin. "But a handful of them got away and who knows how many more planes Hiroshi's got." Zoey said to Lily. "Not helping Zoey." Lucas said to Zoey. "She's right though. Amon is winning so far, but we're not out of the fight yet." Iroh said to everyone. "I like this man's confidence." Bolin said to Iroh. "Me too. Now what's the plan?" Dakota asked Iroh and Lucas.
"Yeah what's the plan and how are we not out of the fight?" Bolin asked Iroh and Lucas. "A second wave of reinforcements is on the way. But I need to warn them. Do you still have a way to get a message out?" Iroh asked them as Korra finished healing him. "We do, but it's a little odd." Lucas said to Iroh. "But he's just the man for the job." Korra said to Iroh as she led the way to the Hobo.
"And who is the recipient of this top-secret message?" Hobo asked Iroh as he plugged in some cables into an electrical box. "Commander Bumi. Second division of the united forces." Iroh said to the Hobo. "Tenzin's brother?" Korra said to Iroh. "Tenzin has a brother?" Lily said to Korra. "Yes. A bit of a wild man. But the bravest commander you'll ever meet." Iroh said to Lily and Korra. "Why does that give me relief and a bad feeling in my gut." Lucas said to Iroh.
"Ready, sir!" The Hobo said to Iroh as he got ready to send Iroh's message. "Fleet ambushed and destroyed by Equalist aircraft. Retreat to Red Sand Island until my signal. Do not approach the city until you receive the All-clear." Iroh said to the Hobo. Then the Hobo sends the message to Bumi. "Ok so what's next?" Lily asked Iroh. Now comes the hard part." Iroh said, pulling out a map. "We need to ground those planes, otherwise Bumi's fleet will never be able to retake the city." Iroh said as everyone started to look at the map.
"The first thing we need to do is figure out where they came from." Lucas said as he stayed on the map. "They flew in from this direction. The airfield must be somewhere over this mountain range." Mako said, pointing to some mountains. "Most likely, it's a big enough area and there're not many people up there, so it's easy to hide a base." Zoey said to Mako. "Everyone get ready. We leave at dawn." Iroh said to everyone.
"It's time to take down my father." Asmai said before she left. The last two to leave were Korra and Lucas. "Wait." Korra said to everyone. "What is it Korra?" Lucas asked Korra. "I'm sorry, but I'm not going with you tomorrow." Korra said to everyone. "What?" Mako said to Korra. "Why not?" Asami asked Korra. "I'm sick and tired of hiding from Amon. It's time I face him." Korra said to everyone. "Korra, that's crazy even if we knew where he was. You can't take him alone." Lily said to Korra.
"She's right. That's not a good plan we need to stick together." Iroh said to Korra. "I'm not afraid of him and I'm not waiting for him to hunt me down. My gut is telling me it's time to end this. On my terms" Korra said to LIly and Iroh. "Korra, this is not a mission you should be handling alone." Iroh said to Korra. "She won't be. I'm going with you." Mako said to Iroh and Korra. "I'm going with Korra too." Dakota said to everyone. "Me three." Lily said to everyone.
"You three don't have to do this." Korra said to them. "Yes I do." Mako said to Korra while making Asami sad. "Yeah where friends and you don't abandon friends in their time of need." Lily said to Korra. "Plus knowing Amon he's got a trap for you." Dakota said to Korra. "My grandfather would respect the Avatar's Instinct. So will I." Iroh said to Korra. "Then we'll split up Korra, Mako, Dakota, Lily, and their Pokemon to go deal with Amon while the rest of us goes after those planes." Lucas said to everyone. "Sounds like a plan. We'll leave at first light." Zoey said to Lucas.
The next Morning everyone was getting ready to move out. Mako, Korra, Lily, and Dakota, were already in their Equalist uniforms and all the Pokemon were returned to their Pokemon, to their pokeballs. "Love you, little bro." Mako said to Bolin. "Love you back, big bro." Bolin said to Mako. "Korra, Amon is a nasty dude. Be careful." Bolin said to Korra. "I will. Good luck" Korra said to Bolin as she hugged him.
"Keep your eyes open for any trouble. Amon is a tricky one." Lucas said to Dakota. "The same can be said to you." Dakota said to Lucas who did a fist bump. "Be safe all of you." Lily said to Zoey. "You two." Zoey said to Lily. "If you guys are going into the mountains, you should bring Naga." Korra said to Lucas while petting Naga. "Thanks Korra, we'll take good care of her." Lucas said, joining Korra and helping her pet Naga.
"Asami. I'm sorry things got so messed up between us. But whatever happens today, I want you to know how much I care about you." Mako said to Asami. "I care about you too." Asami said as she gave Mako a kiss on his cheek. "Alright everyone let's move out we have work to do." Zoey said to everyone. "Come on let's go." Dakota said to Korra, Mako, and Lily. then they all started to move through the tunnels. Meanwhile Zoey let Golurk out of his Pokeball and hopped on his back.
While Lucas did the same thing with Dragapult. Soon Bolin, Asami, Iroh, and Pabu got on Naga's back. "Let's move out." Lucas said as everyone left the camp. "Good fortune and success to you, valiant heroes and noble Pokemon." The Hobo said as everyone in the camp watched them leave.
Republic City Air Temple Island
Once Korra, Mako, Dakota, and Lily got to the sea, Korra waterbend them into an air bubble and walk at the bottom of the sea to Air Temple Island. Once they got to Air Temple Island they put on their masks and started to walk to the temple. Once they got in sight of the Temple they saw Amon entered the only airship Amon had left from the top of the Temple. "There's Amon!" Korra said to everyone. "We just missed him." Dakota said as the Airship started to leave. "We need to get into the Temple. Then, when he returns." Mako said to them. "We ambush him." Korra said to Mako. "Ok let's go." Lily said as they started to move to the Temple.
On their way to the temple The Lieutenant saw them. "What are you four doing here?" The Lieutenant asked them. "Uh, we were just transferred." Mako said to The Lieutenant. "Well, you're getting transferred again. Amon wants extra security at the Arena today." The Lieutenant said to them. "The Arena? For what?" Mako and The Lieutenant. "And why does he want extra security?" Dakota asked The Lieutenant. "The Rally you should have been briefed about this." The Lieutenant asked them.
"We'll be there, sir!" Korra said to The Lieutenant. Then The Lieutenant started to walk away from them. "I know another way in." Korra whispered to everyone. Soon they started to sneak to a hidden entrance. Once they got in they made their way to the tower. "Let's hide in the attic." Korra said to everyone. The first one up the ladder was Dakota. "Ah guys you might want to see this." Dakota said as he reached the attic. "Uh, Korra we're not alone up here." Mako said to Korra. Then Korra noticed Tarrlok in a cell.
"Tarrlok?" Korra said as they took off their masks. "What's he doing here." Lily said as she hid behind Dakota. "I don't suppose you're here to rescue me?" Tarrlok asked them. "No after what you did to us. This is where you belong." Dakota said to Tarrlok, bagging the bars on Tarrlok's cell. "Dakota calm down." Mako said to Dakota. "Tarrlok, we had no idea you were here. Are there other prisoners on the island?" Korra asked Tarrlok. "No I'm the only one." Tarrlok said to them.
"And what makes you so special?" Korra asked Tarrlok. "Maybe he's just Amon's trophy." Dakota said to Korra. "No I'm not his trophy. I'm Amon's brother." Tarrlok said to everyone, shocking them all. "Amon is from the northern Water Tribe. He is a waterbender and a bloodbender, just like I was." Tarrlok said to everyone.
"What?" Korra said looking at everyone. "Did you know this all along?" Mako asked Tarrlok. "No, not until after he captured me." Tarrlok said to Mako. "How did your brother end up becoming Amon?" Korra asked Tarrlok. "Yeah Tarrlok you need to tell us everything you know." Dakota asked Tarrlok. "It all began with my father, Yakone." Tarrlok said to them.
The Past
The first image was of Yakone in a hospital. "With the help of his former gang, he escaped prison and underwent surgery to change his appearance." Tarrlok said as his father had his face changed. "He assumed a new Identity and settled down in the northern Water Tribe." Tarrlok said as the next scene turned into Yakone dragging a sled into a small village. "That's where he met my mother. A warm, caring woman. Before long, they started a family together." Tarrlok said as the next memory Yakone and his wife watched a young Tarrlok and young Amon playing.
"Amon was the firstborn, undr the name Noatak. I was born three years later. Noatak was a good-natured kid, always looking out for me." Tarrlok said as young Amon pulled young Tarrlok out of some snow. "Those were the good years, before my brother and I discovered we were waterbenders." Tarrlok said as the next memory showed them practicing waterbending at night. "At first we were excited by our new abilities, but our training brought out a different side of my father." Tarrlok said as his young struggled with a ball of water.
"Tarrlok you better shape up or you'll be out here in the cold all night until you get it right." Yakone yelled at Tarrlok. "I'm trying but-." Young Tarrlok said to Yakone, but was interrupted by Yakone. "Try harder! Your brother was never this sloppy." Yakone yelled at Tarrlok, making him drop his ball of water. "Dad, he'll get it. He just needs time." young Amon said to Yakone. "Don't talk back to me, son. Ever!" Yakone yelled at Young Amon.
"Even back then, my brother wanted everyone to be treated fairly and equally. When I was seven, my father took me and Noatak on a hunting trip, far away from our home." Tarrlok said as the memory showed them walking through a blizzard. "He told us his true identity was Yakone, Republic City's most notorious crime boss. And that he was once a bloodbender of rare skill." Tarrlok said as the memory turned into them setting around a fire.
"What's bloodbending?" Young Tarrlok asked Yakone. "The most powerful and feared form of bending in the world. It was declared illegal, thanks to that coward Katara. Our family has the strongest line of bloodbenders in history. You boys have this power inside of you. And I will teach you to master it." Yakone said to his son's. "What happened to your bending, dad?" Young asked Yakone.
"The Avatar stole it from me. That's why I brought you out here- to learn your destiny. You two will become bloodbenders of the highest order. When the time is right you will claim Republic City- and you will destroy the Avatar. You must avenge me. That is your purpose in life." Yakone said to his son's. "The good days were behind us." Tarrlok said as the memory turned to them in front of a hurd of animals. "Quick question was your father mad or crazy?" Dakota asked Tarrlok.
"He was both. Every full moon, our father took us on another supposed "hunting" trip, where he secretly trained us in bloodbending." Tarrlok said to Dakota. "We kept the truth from our mother." Tarrlok said as young Amon started to bloodbend on one of the animals making it groan in pain. "Stop! You're hurting it!" Young Tarrlok said to young Amon. "Toughen up, Tarrlok. You'll need a thicker skin for this." Yakone said to Young Tarrlok as young Amon stopped bloodbending the animal and they all ran away. "Very good, son. Very good." Yakone said to young Amon placing his hand on his son's shoulder.
"A few years later my father taught us to bloodbend anytime, without the need of the full moon." Tarrlok said as the memory turned to them looking at a pack of wolves. "We practiced constantly, and I hated every minute of it." Tarrlok said as he bloodbend the pack of wolves making them go side to side whining with every motion. Soon young Tarrlok let the wolves go and they ran away. "I had no stomach for manipulating helpless animals. My brother, however, seemed to revel in his newfound power." Tarrlok said as young Amon just looked at the wolves and started to bloodbend them pulling them to him.
"He was a prodigy, mastering my father's psychic bloodbending technique by the time he was 14." Tarrlok said as young Amon made the wolves spin, fly into the air, and make them bow to him all with his eyes. Young Tarrlok was shocked at the sight of the wolves. While Yakone had a big smile on his face. "That's the way it's done. That's what you need to strive for." Yakone said to young Tarrlok.
"Even though Noatak was my father's favorite, it wasn't any easier for him. He carried the burden of all Yakone's expectations and demands." Tarrlok said as the memory changed to young Amon looking out over a cliff and young Tarrlok looking at his brother. "Something changed in Noatak over the years. The loving brother I once knew became cold and detached." Tarrlok said as the memory turned to them standing across from each other with their father standing next to them in a blizzard.
"Our father pushed us to extremes. And one day, he made us bloodbend each other." Tarrlok said to them. "Oh dear Arceus." Lily said to Tarrlok while covering her mouth. "Noatak, go." Yakone said to young Amon. Then young Amon just looked at his brother and started to force his lips against his wills. Young Tarrlok screamed as he was forced to the ground. But Young Amon just stared at his brother with cold eyes. "Excellent." Yakone said to young Amon who finally stopped bloodbending his brother leaving him patting on the ground.
"Tarrlok! Your turn." Yakone said to young Tarrlok. "No, I won't do it." Young Tarrlok said to Yakone. "Bloodbend your brother, Tarrlok." Yakone said to young Tarrlok. "That felt awful! I don't want to do that to anyone! I never want to bloodbend again!" Young Tarrlok said to Yakone. "You're a disgrace, a weakling. I'll teach you a lesson, you insubordinate-. unh!" Yakone said to young Tarrlok but was stopped when young Amon who was using his bloodbending on Yakone.
"Stay away from him." Young Amon said to Yakone. "How dare you bloodbend me!" Yakone said to young Amon struggled to talk. "What are you going to do about it? You're the weak one." Young Amon said as he used his bloodbending to hurt his father. "You always say bloodbending is the most powerful thing in the world, but it isn't, the Avatar is. He took your bending away. What could be more powerful than that?" Young Amon said to Yakone, scaring young Tarrlok.
"I made you what you are! You're mine!" Yakone said to young Amon, still struggling to talk. "We're your sons, not your tools of revenge! Let's go. We can run away from him, forever." Young Amon said to Yakone and young Tarrlok. "Run away? But what about mom? We can't just leave her." Young Tarrlok said to Young Amon. "He was right about you. You are a weakling." Young Amon said to young Tarrlok.
Then young Amon bloodbend his father away before running away from both of them. "Noatak! Don't leave, please! Noatak!" Young Tarrlok said as young Amon ran into the blizzard disappearing from sight. "My father and I searched for days, but we never found a sign of Noatak. We thought he perished in that storm." Tarrlok said as the memory turned to one where they went home without young Amon. "My mother was never the same after the loss of my brother." Tarrlok said as his mother noticed young Amon was not there and she became sad.
"My father stopped training me. With Noatack gone, his hopes for revenge withered, and he passed away a few years later." Tarrlok said as the memory turned to one of a quiet and sad family.

Tarrlok finished his story and everyone looked at him with sadness in their eyes. "That's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard." Korra said to Tarrlok. "Avatar Korra, Trainer Dakota, Trainer Lily. I am truly sorry for all that I did to you. I thought I was better than my father, but his ghost still shaped me. I became a soldier of revenge, just like he wanted me to be. And so did my brother." Tarrlok said to Korra, Dakota, and Lily. "I can never forgive you and your brother for what you two have done to us. But I am sorry that you two had to go throw that as a child." Dakota said to Tarrlok.
"Thanks Dakota. The Revolution may be built on a lie, but I think Amon truly believes bendung is the source of all evil in the world." Tarrlok said to them. "How did you figure out Amon is your brother?" Mako asked Tarrlok. "When he took my bending, the sensation was somehow familiar. I later recognized it as my brother's bloodbending grip." Tarrlok said to them. "So he somehow uses bloodbending to take people's bending?" Korra asked Tarrlok. "How is that even possible?" Dakota asked Tarrlok.
"I don't know how he does it, but then again, I've never encountered a bender as strong as Noatak." Tarrlok said to them. "How in the world do we beat him?" Korra asked everyone. "We can't. Any attack we throw at him he'll redirect with his mind. That's how he's been able to challenge any bender." Mako said to Korra. "So much for our ambush. If we stay here, we're toast." Korra said to everyone.
"There's gotta be something we can do?" Lily said, rubbing her chin. "But there's something we can do. We have another way to beat him." Korra said to everyone. "How?" Mako asked Korra. "Yes please tell us." Dakota asked Korra. "This whole time, Amon has been one step ahead of us. But finally we have the advantage. We know the truth about him. If we expose him as a bender in front of all his supporters." Korra said to them. "At the Rally." Mako said to Korra. "His loyal supporters will realize that he lied to them." Dakota said to Korra. "Then they'll leave him." Lily said to Korra.
"We could take away his true power." Korra said to them. "And undermine this whole Revolution!" Mako said to Korra. "And Amon will be all alone surrounded by the people that he lied to and hate benders." Dakota said to Korra. "Then we will finally capture Amon." Lily said to Korra. "Korra it's a crazy plan but it just might work." Dakota said to Korra.
"Thank you for your help." Korra said to Tarrlok. Tarrlok just nodded his head as they started to move. "We can't just leave him here." Korra said to them. "Go. Amon can't know anyone spoke with me. Defeat him. Put an end to this sad story." Tarrlok said to them, grabbing the bars of his cell. "Tarrlok I hope you find the peace you lost when you were a child." Lily said to Tarrlok as everyone went down the ladder. "You Trainers are sure something else." Tarrlok said to himself as the door to the attic closed and he was left all alone.
