Hello everyone welcome, sorry for the late post. I had to think about how I wanted the Trainers to act towards Korra in this chapter and I have classes to worry about and my job has started back up so things have been busy around here and let's not forget the isle of armor comes out on 6/17/20, so I was playing that to that. Now on to part 2.
Book Spirit Part 2
The Southern Lights Of The Legends
The South Pole
Things have been tense after Lily, Olivia, Tenzin, and Tenzin's family left the south pole. Dakota, Lucas, and Zoey have all stopped talking to Korra. And whenever she tries to talk to them, they use their bending to leave or have their Pokemon get rid of her. Mako, Bolin, and Asami tried to talk to them, but they didn't want to talk about it. This happened for a day. Until Unalaq told Korra that she needed to meet him at the palace stables for spirit training in the morning.
As soon as the sun started to rise Korra got on Naga's back and went to go see Unalaq. "You're early." Unalaq said to Korra, as she arrived at the stables. "What can I say? I'm pumped up to learn that Unalaq spirit fighting." Korra said trying to act like the last few days haven't happened. "I'm not here to teach you to fight spirits. I'm here to help you begin your spiritual training. And your fight with your friends have made you have a spiritual imbalance. Which is why we're going to one of the most remote places in the world. The long-Neglected spiritual center of your tribe: The South Pole." Unalaq said to Korra.
"You're gonna train me at the South Pole?" Korra asked Unalaq. "We will do more than just train. By neglecting the Spirits, the people of the South have brought darkness upon themselves, now it threatens to destroy our tribe. And Arceus can not help us. It is up to us to set things right. The Southern Water Tribe depends on you." Unalaq said to Korra. "A dangerous trip to the south pole? Count me in." Korra said to Unalaq. "Not just you. Dakota, Zoey, and Lucas, as well. I believe that a spiritual journey with them will help restore your spiritual balance." Unalaq said to Korra.
"But they have been avoiding me. How can I convince them to go?" Korra asked Unalaq. "You have to convince them. Without them, you will never reach your full potential, and you must hurry we're running out of time to help the south pole." Unalaq said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
The Southern Air Temple
After a day of flying, Tenzin and everyone with him arrived at a temple built on top of a Mountain with stone columns around it, all covered in lush green vegetation. "There it is, the Southern Air Temple isn't it magnificent?" Tenzin said to everyone, turning to see how everyone was taking in the sites. And while most had excited or happy looks on their faces. Lily was still sad and hiding in Altaria's feathers, with Olivia trying to comfort her with a worried look on her face. This made Tenzin worry too.
Soon Oogi landed on one of the open areas of the temple, where they were met by the Air Acolytes of the Temple, who were carrying some boxes. "Master Tenzin, Welcome." An Air Acolyte said as they all started to get off Oogi. "Good to see you again, Abbot Shung." Tenzin said to the Air Acolyte. "Is there anything you need? Water? Dandelion Greens? Ah, perhaps you'd like to re-center yourself by meditating in the gardens." Abbot Shung asked Tenzin. "No, thank you. I'm fine." Tenzin said to Abbot Shung.
"And you must be the honorable Pema. Please, Accept these gifts." Abbot Shung said, opening one of the boxes. "This is an ancient airbender head shaver, we've refurbished just for you." Abbot Shung said, giving Tenzin a windcim looking thing. "Oh… Okay." Tenzin said to Abbot Shung, while looking at the gift. "And Pema, these Flowers once filled the mountainside. Now they can brighten up your room." Abbot Shung said, giving Pema a giant bouquet of flowers, covering her face. "That's… Sweet? You didn't have to." Pema said to Abbot Shung trying to hold the flowers.
"Nonsense. Whatever you need is yours. Anything for the mother of the next generation of airbenders." Abbot Shung said as they looked at the Ikki and Jinora. "No! That gift is mine." Ikki said, pulling a book out of the hands of one of the Air Acolytes. "You don't even like to read." Jinora said to Ikki. "Naah." Ikkia said, sticking out her tongue.
"Yep, those are the world's next generation of airbenders." Pema said to Abbot Shung. "Mommy, Daddy, Look. I finally got a lemur. I'm gonna name him Poki." Meelo said to his parents, jumping on to Abbot Shung's head. Then Poki got free and started to fly away. "Poki, come back!" Meelo said going after Poki. "Speaking of the next generation. Where is Lady Lily? I can not tell you how much we all wanted to meet her." Abbot Shung asked Tenzin. "She's tired from the flying. I'm going to take her to her room." Olivia said to Abbot Shung as she and Altaria walked to them, with Lily still in Altraia's feathers.
"Ah Olivia it's been too long. You have grown into a fine young lady just like your mother. I know she would be proud of you." Abbot Shung said to Olivia. "Thank you Abbot Shung. Now if you could excuse me I have to take Lily to a room." Olivia said as she and Altaria started to walk into the temple. Then Bumi got of Oogi's back and unloading the supplies.
"Excuse me, a little help here." Bumi said to s female Air Acolytes that was sweeping. "Sorry, I thought you were the servants." The Air Acolyte said to Bumi and Kya. "We're Tenzin's brother and sister." Bumi said to the Air Acolyte. "Avatar Aang had other children? The world is filled with more airbenders?" The Air Acolyte asked them, dropping her brom. "We're not airbenders." Kya said to the Air Acolyte. "Oh. I'm so sorry." The Air Acolyte said to Kya and Bumi bowing to them.
The South Pole
It was noon and Lucas, Zoey, and Dakota were eating their lunch on a cliff overlooking the sea. They were all lost in thought, that they didn't notice Korra riding Naga towards them. Korra then stopped Naga a few feet away from them and got off Naga's back. Korra then walked slowly to them. "Hey everyone." Korra said to them. This made them stop eating and put their food down.
"What do you want?" Dakota asked Korra. "I'm going to the South Pole. And I want you three to come with me." Korra said to them. "Why, so you can freeze me on the way there." Dakota said to Korra. "Or buried me in rocks." Lucas said to Korra. "Or set me on fire." Zoey said to Korra. "I won't do that to any of you guys." Korra said to them. "Really? Because you blow Lily away. Both hurting her and you insulted the culture of the airbenders." Lucas asked Korra.
"That was an accident, I didn't mean to do that." Korra said to them. "Well you did. So why should we join you?" Dakota asked Korra. "Because Unalaq said that our fighting made me spiritually imbalanced. And the only way to fix it is if we travel to the South Pole together." Korra said to them. "You're still listening to Unalaq?" Zoey said to Korra. "He's only trying to help me become the best Avatar I can be." Korra said to them. "If by "best Avatar I can be" you mean betting up and driving away the people that care about you. Then I don't know why you need Unalaq to teach you. You're doing such a fine job yourself." Dakota said to Korra.
"No that is not what I mean. I just felt like I wasn't going to be a good Avatar. With my father and Tenzin locking me away." Korra said to them. "Well have you ever asked why they did that? No. You have been so focused on what they did you never even thought about why." Zoey said to Korra. "I'm sure they were just being over protective." Korra said to them.
"Yeah because they care about your safety. But I guess that doesn't matter to you. Come on guys let's go, I lost my appetite." Dakota said as he, Lucas, and Zoey got up, leaving their food, and started to walk away. "Guys wait, I need your help." Korra said to them, making them stop.
"You know Korra. It was on a clif like this one, where we told you that we are family and that we will have your back. But know we see that you don't care about family, about friends, about us. All you want is a fight. And we will not just stand around and wait for you to start attacking us like you did to Lily. We would have traveled the world with you and helped you save it. But you choose power over family. See you later Korra." Lucas said before they let Garchomp, Golurk, and Dragauplt out of their Pokeballs, hopped on to their backs, and flew away.
Korra then dropped to her knees looking at remaining food. Then Naga came over and started to nuzzle Korra. "Naga what am I going to do?" Korra hugged Naga. After some time Korra hopped on Naga's back and went to meet Unalaq. On the way Korra invited Mako and Bolin to join her hoping that they would be able to help her instead of Lucas, Dakota, and Zoey.
Unalaq got on Korra's case about failing to convince them to go, but he said they had to leave so there was no time for them to come around. So they started to pack some supilse on Naga and some Arctic Camels with the help of Desna Eska and. "Hey Mako where is Bolin?" Korra asked Mako as they finished packing. "He said he'd be here, but I can't worry about it. I have to make sure we have everything we need for a safe trip." Mako said to Korra. "Thanks, Captain Expedition, but we'll be fine." Korra said to Mako. "Are you fine? Things have been tense these last few days?" Mako asked Korra. Korra didn't respond, she just looked down.
Then they hear the sound of engines coming to them. Soon Tonraq, Dakota, Lucas, and Zoey came riding some snowmobiles with some supplies on it. Unalaq walked to them. "Tonraq, what do you want?" Unalaq asked Tonraq. "Dakota, Lucas, and Zoey told me you're taking Korra to The South Pole. We're coming." Tonraq said to Unalaq. "Absolutely not. While Lucas, Zoey, and Dakota are welcome. You're a distraction to Korra and a hindrance to what needs to be done." Unalaq said to Tonraq.
"My daughter is not going without me. She needs some to watch after her." Tonraq said to Unalaq. "And we're only here to help Tonraq. If he goes so do we." Dakota said to Unalaq. "Dad, why do you always think you know what best for me? And why are you three helping him and not me?" Korra asked them.
"Because they're misguided. The sad truth is it's men like your father who have put the spirit world out of balance. And has blinded others from doing what needed to restore that balance. He's ignored my warnings in the past and hasn't learned since. Which is why I want Zoey, Dakota, and Lucas, to travel with us." Unalaq said to Korra. "What happened in the past?" Korra asked Tonraq.
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that Unalaq is leading you all into a death trap." Zoey said to Korra. "She's right it doesn't matter. What matters is the Everstorm." Tonraq said to Korra. "The Everstorm?" Mako asked them as he got on an Arctic Camel. "It's a massive blizzard that's battered the South Pole for decades." Tonraq said to Mako. "And while we're still mad at you we're not going to let you walk into that." Lucas said to Korra. "I'm coming, unless you think you can stop me." Tonraq said to Unalaq.
The two brothers just stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. "Guys! Hey, wait for me!" Bolin said, breaking the silence, as he drove in riding a snowmobile with a sidecar on it. Then they all notice a big thick coat on Bolin. "Check it out. I'm traveling in style." Bolin said as he askedelty started his snowmobile. "Whoa! Okay, I'm sorry. Still getting used to that throttle." Bolin said as his snowmobile stopped.
"Bolin, what are you wearing?" Lucas asked Bolin. "And where's you get the ride?" Mako asked Bolin. "Varrick. He's awesome. He also gave me this fancy snowsuit. It's inflatable with an internal heater, emergency beacon, and food ration pouch. I mean, if I get lost, I can survive in this thing for, like, like, a month. Who wants some freeze-dried cucumber-quats?" Bolin said showing off his coat to everyone and pulling out some food. But no one said anything.
"Nobody? Did I interrupt a conversation?" Bolin said as Pabu popped out of Bolins coat and took the food before going back into the coat. "No, the conversation is over. Lucas, Zoey, Dakota thank you for coming. And dad, come if you want. Just don't interfere with my training." Korra said as Naga started to move. Then Eska walked to Bolin. "Does this sidecar have the capacity for two passengers?" Eska asked Bolin. "Sure does. But, uh, who's gonna drive?" Bolin said to Eska, patting the seat of the sidecar.
A few minutes later Bolin was driving the snowmobile with Eska and Desna in the side car. "Well, what do you know? Looks like-." Mako said as he pulled up to Bolin, but was interrupted by Bolin. "Go away, Mako." Bolin said to Mako.
In the front Korra was talking to Unalaq with Lucas, Dakota, and Zoey behind them, with Tonraq behind them. "So once we get to the South pole, then what happens?" Korra asked Unalaq. "You will open an ancient spirit portal." Unalaq said to Korra. "I'm sorry. What now?" Korra asked Unalaq. "At the South Pole, there is a portal that connects our world to the spirit world. It is also how the energy from the Arceus dimension flows to both our world and the spirit world. But it has long been closed." Unalaq said to Korra. "And that's why the evil spirits are attacking?" Korra asked Unalaq as they stopped.
"There are no evil spirits. There is light and dark in them all. But when they're unbalanced, The darkness takes over. If you can open the portal in time, balance will be restored, by letting Arceus energy flow back into the spirit world restoring it to the way it was long ago." Unalaq said to Korra. "What do you mean "in time"?" Korra asked Unalaq. "There's a reason the Glacier Spirits Festival ends on the Winter Solstice. That's when the spirit world, the Physical world, and Arceus dimension are close together. Only then can the avatar open the portal. But at your current state you'll need the help of Dakota, Lucas, and Zoey. To open the portal." Unalaq said to Korra.
"The winter solstice is tomorrow." Korra said to Unalaq. "Exactly. And we can't afford to wait another year." Unalaq said to Korra. "But I don't think that Zoey, Lucas or Dakota will follow me into that strom." Korra said to Unalaq. "They have to. If we want to restore balance. They have to go with you." Unalaq said to Korra as they started to move again. Then behind them a dark spirit showed up but only Naga noticed it and started to growl.
"Easy, Naga." Korra said, trying to calm her down. "There's something out here." Zoey said as they looked around and noticed some Dark Spirits. "What are those?" Bolin asked everyone. "Dark Spirits." Korra said as Lucas, Zoey, and Dakota pulled out a Pokeball. Then the Dark Spirits disappeared and Naga stopped growling. "Let's keep moving. We have to find a safe place to set up camp." Tonraq said to everyone. "Agree this way." Dakota said putting his pokeball away and leading the way.
Soon they were in a small cave surrounding a fire, and setting up some tents. "Uncle, why do you think the Dark Spirits are following us?" Korra asked Unalaq. "Can we not talk about Dark Spirits, please?" Bolin asked them as he snuggled up to Eska. "What's wrong with him?" Zoey asked Mako. "My brother doesn't like ghost stories." Mako said to them. "Don't worry. I will protect you, my feeble turtle-duck." Eska said to Bolin. "Thank you." Bolin said to Eska.
"Sadly, this isn't a ghost story. This is real." Unalaq said, making Bolin pull up his coat hood and pull it shut. "What are you talking about?" Zoey asked Unalaq. "The spirits are angry because he's here. Haven't you ever wondered how Tonraq ended up in the south pole? Why has he never taken any of you to visit his homeland in the north?" Unalaq said to everyone. "No and I don't care. Plus we have more important things to worry about." Dakota said to Unalaq.
"He's right Unalaq, this is not the time." Tonraq said to Unalaq. "You're right. You should have told her and Dakota a long time ago." Unalaq said to Tonraq. "Told us what?" Korra asked Tonraq. "I left the North pole because… I was banished." Tonraq said, surprising everyone.
"You were banished from the North? Why?" Korra asked Tonraq. "Because I almost destroyed the entire tribe." Tonraq said to them. "How did you do that?" Zoey asked Tonraq.
The Past
'20 years ago, I was a general in the Northern Water Tribe, sworn to protect my people.' Tonraq said to everyone as the sense changed to a young Tonraq standing in front of a platoon of water tribe soldiers.
Then young Unalaq came in riding a giant goat. "Brother, we're being attacked." Young Unalaq said to young Tonraq. Soon they all ran to the capital that was under attack by some barbarians. The barbarians started to destroy some of the buildings and scare the people. Then Tonraq and his soldiers came and started to use their waterbending to fight back. Soon the barbarians started to run away.
'I drove them out of the city and deep into the frozen tundra.' Tonraq said as his younger self went after the barbarians and Young Unalaq watched them leave with a worried look on his face. Then the sense changed to young Unalaq standing above a forest in the middle of hills of ice and snow.
'We tracked them deep into an ancient forest.' Tonraq said as his young self and his soldiers found some tracks. 'Many believed this forest was created by Arceus and was the home to spirits, and the barbarians retreated there because they thought we wouldn't attack on such hallowed grounds.' Tonraq said as his young self gave orders to his soldiers. 'They thought wrong.' Tonraq said as his young self and soldiers used their water bending to send a giant wave through the forest and attacked the barbarians.
The next sense was of young Tonraq taking the last barbarians as prisoners and of the forest completely destroyed and downed with water. 'We captured the barbarians, but in the process, we destroyed the forest.' Tonraq said as his young self and his soldiers left the ruined forest.
'I didn't realize the consequences of what I had done.' Tonraq said as the scene changed to his young self sleeping in a bead. Then young Tonraq woke up to the sound of a monstrous hissing. Then young got out of bed and ran to the balcony of his room. 'By destroying the forest, I unknowingly let loose angry spirits.' Tonraq said as young Tonraq saw giant dark spirits attack the North Pole.
Young Tonraq then got to the streets and tried to fight them but it wasn't working. 'They threatened to destroy everything. The entire city.' Tonraq said his young self dodged a few attacks from the dark spirits. Then young Unalaq started to do his spirit bending trick and started to calm the spirits. Soon all the spirits turn yellow. The next sense was of young Unalaq leading them back to the ruined forest where they disappeared. 'Unalaq was able to guide the spirits back to the forest, but by then, the damage had been done.' Tonrag said as the scene changed to the palace of the North Pole.
'For being the cause of so much devastation, my father banished me from the northern water tribe in shame.' Tonrag said as the scene changed to his young self sailing away from the North Pole. 'That's when I came to the South and started a new life.' Tonraq said as the story ended.
The South Pole
Everyone just looked at him not knowing what to say. "Whoa. so you were supposed to be chief, then he became chief. No wonder you guys don't like each other." Bolin asid as Zoey and Mako hit Bolin. "Ow! What? Isn't that what happened?" Bolin asked them. "No. They don't like each other because they both can't get over something that happened 20 years ago." Zoey said to Bolin as Korra stood up.
"I can't believe you kept this from me." Korra said to Tonraq. "I was protecting you from the shame I brought on the family." Tonraq said to Korra. "Why do you keep hiding things from me and then telling me it's for my own protection? I'm tired of you protecting me." Korra said to Tonraq. "Ok that enough Korra." Dakota said he got up. "Why aren't you mad that he hid that from you?" Korra asked Dakota.
"Because he made a mistake? No. And he didn't want to talk about it. I am trying to see things from his perspective. While you only think of yourself and refuse to learn anything that doesn't hurt people." Dakota said to Korra. "That's not true Dakota." Korra said to Dakota.
"Yes it is, you drove Tenzin away because you didn't want to learn what it means to be an airbender. You attack Lily, a woman that would never hurt you. All because she was trying to help you because the best Avatar you can be." Dakota said to Korra.
"I didn't mean to attack her, it just happened." Korra said to Dakota as Lucas stood up. "Just happened? JUST HAPPENED!? Nothing just happens. You attacked her because you were upset that you got beaten by that spirit. And because you were sick and tired of people trying to help you and keep you safe." Lucas said to Korra. "Keep me safe they lock me in a fortress until I run away." Korra said to Lucas as she stated to get a little mad.
"They just care about you and want to keep you safe like any parent or friend would. Not that you would understand that. You only think of yourself and how your life was hard. Never once thinking about how there are people out there who grew up just like you, but never had the conferts and power you have." Dakota said to Korra. Making her mad and then she left. "Korra." Tonraq said to Korra as she walked away.
What they didn't know was that the top of the cave they were in, it warped for a few seconds and that Giratina saw the whole thing. 'This girl will be the end of all of us. I have no choice, but to remove her before she can open that portal.' Giratina thought as the cave turned back to normal.
The Southern Air Temple
At the Southern Air Temple Tenzin was leading his kids and Lily to the Avatar statue room. "Wow. the statue room." Jinora said as they entered the room. "That's right, Jinora." Tenzin said to Jinora. "Tenzin do I have to be here?" Lily asked Tenzin as she started to hug herself with tear stains in her eyes.
"Yes Lily. Because this is the most sacred place in the entire Southern Air Temple. Here you will find statues of every Avatar who ever lived." Tenzin said to Lily. "That's why I don't want to be here." Lily said as she started to shake. "I don't feel ok here." Lily said as she closed her eyes trying to hold back some tears. Tenzin noticed this. "I understand Lily, you can go." Tenzin said to Lily. "Thanks Tenzin." Lily said as she started to leave. Then Tenzin noticed he was missing Ikki and Meelo.
"Jinora where are your brother and sister?" Tenzin asked Jinora as Meelo and Ikki rood past them on air skates. "You can't catch me. I'm the greatest air skater of all time." Meelo said to Ikki who was behind him. Meelo was so focused on Ikki that he didn't notice that he was about to crash into Lily. And he did. This made the both of them crash into the wall of the statue room. "Meelo! Lily!" Tenzin said, running to see if they were okay.
While Tenzin was doing that Jinora walked to Avatar Aang's statue. Then as she stared at the statue she noticed that the statue was looking at something. She then followed Aang's eyes and saw that he was looking at another Avatar.
The South Pole
Back in the South Pole everyone was moving again. But everyone was still upset about what happened in the cave. "Korra, you have every right to be mad at me, but I don't want you to make the same mistake I made. I should have never gone into that forest, and we shouldn't be going to the South Pole now. Spirits and the Physical world should remain separate." Tonarq said to Korra. As he rode his snowmobile beside her.
"Dad, it's my job to be the bridge between the spirits and the physical world, and I finally have a chance to live up to my potential." Korra said to Tonraq. "Yeah and all you have to do is burn every other bridge that you have made with the people you care about. Do you even know what we're doing here?" Dakota said as he got next to Korra on his snowmobile.
"He's right you don't even know if what Unalaq says is true." Tonraq said to Korra. "You two want proof? Look to the sky. Where I'm from the spirits are at peace and they light up the dark." Unalaq said to Tonraq. "The Northern Lights." Korra said to Unalaq.
"Yes. There used to be lights in the south as well. But during the 100 year war, the south was thrown out of balance and the lights disappeared. When the war ended, the north helped to rebuild you physically as a nation. But we have not rebuilt you spiritually. Now the spirits no longer dance in your skies. Instead, they rampage in the Everstorm." Unalaq said to Korra.
"That doesn't prove anything. Auroras are just mantic waves combined with light from the sun. And I'm sure the Everstorm is just a blizzard formed from strong winds and the land trapping it." Zoey said to Unalaq. "Uh everyone I think we're here." Mako said as they noticed the raging storm that was the Everstorm.
Despite the obvious danger they all still headed into the Everstorm. On the walk they heard the sound of something hissing. "Is that what I think it is?" Bolin asked everyone. "Porably." Lucas said to Bolin. "We must keep moving." Unalaq said to everyone. Then the spirits roared. "It's too late for that." Dakota said as he, Lucas, and Zoey grabbed their Pokeballs.
"Oh, man. I really don't like this." Bolin said as he started to freak out. "Bolin, just stay calm. There's no reason to-." Mako said as a spirit burst out of the snow. "Panic!" Mako said as the spirit tore off Mako's supplies and stole it and more small Spirits started to attack, targeting their supplies. "Now there is. Orbeetle, Dragapult come on out." Lucas said letting Orbeetle and Dragapult out.
"Decidueye help us." Dakota said, letting Decidueye out. "Golurk you to." Zoey said, letting Golurk out. "Orbeetle/ Dragapult/ Decidueye/ Golurk." They all said as they got out of their Pokeball. "Golurk/ Dragapult uses Phantom Force none stop." Zoey and Lucas said to Golurk and Dragapult. "Golurk/ Dragapult." They said as they disappeared into purple energy. At the same time Naga went after some of the spirits, knocking Korra off her back. On the ground Knorra noticed one of the Dark Spirits popped out of the snow and was about to strike her.
Tonraq got in front of Korra and used his waterbending to make an ice wall but it didn't work. Then Tonraq noticed a Dark Spirit heading for Korra. " Korra, Look out!" Tonraq said as he used his waterbending to get Korra out of the way. He then tried to hit the attacking Spirit, but it dodged Tonraq attack and struck him sending him into a snowbank. Then the spirit tried to attack Tonraq again, but Golurk and Dragapult appeared and punched the spirit sending it flying before disappearing again.
"Orbeetle use Shadow Ball none stop." Lucas said as he fired a rock at one of the spirits. "Orbeetle." Orbeetle said as he started to fire back to back Shadow Balls hitting a few of the Dark Spirits but missing a few of them. "Decidueye use Spirit Shackle." Dakota said as he started to use water whips. "Decidueye." Decidueye said as he shot a few of the spirits pinning them. "This isn't going well." Zoey said as she fired a few bursts of fire at the Dark Spirits. Then one of the spirits got into the engine of Bolin's snowmoldie.
"Oh, it's in the engine!" Bolin said as the Dark Spirit messed with the engine making the snowmobile go wild, with Bolin, Eska, and Desna still on it. "Bolin got off the snowmobile." Lucas said to Bolin as everyone else tried to push the Dark Spirits back. But it wasn't working so well. The benders' attacks were doing anything and the Pokemon were freezing, so they were slowing down.
Korra then tried to do Unalaq's Spirit bending, but instead of using calm water like Unalaq. Her's were wild and the spirit inside turned partly white before going back to purple. The Dark Spirit then attacked Korra and pushed her to the ground. Once Korra was on the ground, the Dark Spirit jumped on top of her, and was about to finish her. But before it could Unalaq finally did his Spirit bending and all the spirits disappeared.
Once they were gone Mako helped Korra up. "Is everyone one okay?" Mako asked everyone. "We are all ok, but the Pokemon are freezing." Zoey said as she used her firebending to try and warm them up. "But we have another problem." Lucas said as he pointed to a hill with a rock wall on the top. They all turned to see Bolin, Eska, and Desna, heading straight into the rock wall at high speeds with Bolin screaming.
"I can't stop it." Bolin said, trying to stop the snowmobile. Then Eska and Desna stood up and grabbed Bolin. "I'll save you." Eska said as she and Desna jumped off the snowmobile before it crashed. Then Eska and Desna let go of Bolin. Once Bolin hit the hill his coat then inflated and Pabu came out of Bolin's coat. "I'm a raft!" Bolin said as they went down the hill. Meanwhile Eska and Desna waterbend some ice around their feet and they slide down the hill. Soon all of them were at the bottom of the hill and Mako helped Bolin stop.
"Uh, can someone pese deflate me?" Bolin asked everyone. Then Eska waterbend three ice spikes into Bolin's coat, defeating it. "Thank you." Bolin said to Eska. "Well that one problem was solved. Now onto the next problem." Lucas said as they looked at their ruined supplies. "Oh, great. There goes our equipment. Now what are we supposed to do?" Mako asked everyone.
"There's only one thing to do. We have to turn back." Tonraq said to Mako. "I agree with Tonraq. We can't continue like this. We need to head back before anything else happens." Dakota said to everyone. "No. The solstice is tonight. We're so close." Unalaq said to Tonraq and Dakota. "Close to what? Dying!?" Dakota asked Unalaq. "He's right. This mission is too dangerous. We're leaving." Tonraq said to Unalaq. "No, dad. You're leaving." Korra said to Tonraq, surprising everyone.
"Korra." Tonraq said to Korra. "If you want to go then go. I'm still going to the Everstorm." Korra said to Tonraq. Tonraq didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and walked to his snowmobile. Then Lucas, Zoey, and Dakota, started to follow Tonraq. "Where are you guys going?" Korra asked the trainers. "We're going back." Dakota said to Korra. "Why?" Korra asked them. "Because you don't care. About your father, about us, or about anything, you just want to fight. And we want no part of it." Dakota said to Korra.
"No, I only want to help the South." Korra said to Dakota. "You don't care about the south. You're only here to learn how to fight Spirits. You don't care about our people. Well I do. And I also care about my Pokemon. The Pokemon that are freezing because you thought Unalaq, a man that has been mean to your father and the entire Southern Water Tribe since he got here. Was the perfect teacher for you. And he is. He's teaching you how to be a selfish person." Dakota said to Korra.
"Dakota, Lucas, Zoey. if you go with Tonraq. You'll be attacked by Dark Spirits. After all he is the one attacking them." Unalaq said to them. "Are they attracted to him? I don't believe that. The Dark Spirits attacked the ships away from the south pole. The Dark Spirit at the festival was only interested in Korra. And the attack just now looked like an ambush, more than a search and destroy." Dakota said to Unalaq.
"Dakota brings up a point something is going on around here. It's almost like they're taking orders. There's something else going on here. We need to head back to town and try to figure things out" Zoey said to Unalaq. "We don't have time, we have to open the portal now." Unalaq said to Zoey. "Why is it so important to open the portal now? If that battle showed anything, it is that you need to give Korra more Spirit training before she has a chance of opening that portal." Lucas said to Unalaq.
"She can open that portal, we just have to get there." Unalaq said to them. "Well then you can do it without us." Dakota said to Unalaq as they started to leave. "Lucas, Zoey, Dakota, I want you to stay with Korra and have her back." Tonraq asked them. "Why, she wouldn't have ours?" Zoey asked Tonarq. "Because I know that she will be safe with you three here." Tonraq said to them.
"Fine, but only to keep I don't like this." Zoey said to Tonraq. "Out of respect to you and your wife housing Dakota and Ninetales I will do it." Lucas said to Tonraq. "I won't. She wants you gone. She hurt the woman I love. And now she wants us to walk into a death trap. I can't follow someone who cares very little about everyone else. Besides, no one should travel through this frozen wasteland alone." Dakota said to Tonraq.
"Fine, Tonraq and Dakota will leave and the rest of us will continue moving forward." Unalaq said to everyone. "But Unalaq you said I needed Dakota's help to regain my spiritual balance?" Korra asked Unalaq. "At the moment Dakota is only making it worse. I was hoping that this trip would restore your friendship. But it seems it has only made things worse. Our only choice is to move forward. Let's get ready to leave." Unalaq said to Korra.
Soon everyone salvaged what they could from the ruined supplies and returned the Pokemon to their Pokeballs. What they didn't notice was that Giratina was watching them and was getting madder. Then Mako walked up to Tonraq as Dakota put the stuff they salvaged on the back of their snowmobiles. "Don't worry, sir. I'll help Lucas and Zoey keep an eye on Korra for you in Dakota's place." Mako said to Tonraq.
"Thank you, Mako." Tonraq said to Mako, shaking each other's hands. "Alright Tonraq let's go." Dakota said to Tonraq, as Korra just looked at them with an angry look on her face. "Goodbye Korra. I hope getting rid of the everyone that cares about you was worth it." Dakota said to Korra, before he and Tonraq left them.
"Let's open this portal and lead your father, Dakota, and the entire Southern Water Tribe in the right direction. We don't have much time." Unalaq said to Korra. "Then what are we waiting for?" Korra said as everyone started to move. Eska and Desna tooked Mako's Arctic camel and were pulling Bolin in the broken sidecar of his Snowmobile. This made Mako ride Naga with Korra.
"So, what exactly were you and my dad talking about?" Korra asked Mako. "Nothing. He was just worried about you, that's all." Mako said to Korra. "You know, sometimes I wonder whose side you're on." Korra said to Mako. "There aren't any sides." Mako said to Korra. "Yes there is. One Korra's Ego and the other side is everyone who cares about her." Zoey said as she passed Mako and Korra.
"What is she talking about?" Korra said looking at Zoey. "She's talking about how, we all just want to help however we can. But you were mean to everyone and you attacked Lily when all she wanted to do was help you. You have to trust that we're here for you." Mako said to Korra. "We've arrived." Unalaq said as they found themselves in front of a forest completely covered in ice.
"Trees frozen in ice." Korra said, looking at the frozen forest. "It's just like the sacred forest Tonraq destroyed in the north." Unalaq said, looking at the forest. "So what do I do?" Korra asked Unalaq. You, Lucas, and Zoey must find your way to the heart of the forest where the dormant spirit portal lies. From here, you three are on your own." Unalaq said to Korra. "Wait a second. There's no way they're going in there by themselves." Mako said to Unalaq. "Yeah, if they go we go too." Bolin said to Unalaq.
"Only the Avatar and the Trainers go, the rest of us will stay here." Unalaq said to them. "But why us?" Lucas asked Unalaq. "Because I was hoping that you Trainers and Korra would have made peace before we got here. But you three haven't, so now only by working together can Korra open the portal." Unalaq said to Korra. "But I don't have any connection with the Spirits. In fact, it seems like they hate me." Korra said to Unalaq.
"You have to believe in yourself like I believe in you. And you must work together with Zoey and Lucas." Unalaq said as Korra lowered her head. "What is it?" Unalaq asked Korra. "I guess I'm just so used to people telling me how to do things that I forgot what it was like to have someone trust in me." Korra said to Unalaq. "Korra, all the past Avatars live on inside of you. Let them and your friends guide you. Let them help you find the light in the dark." Unalaq said to Korra while they looked at the forest.
"Wait here." Korra said to Mako and Bolin. "You guys ready?" Korra asked Lucas and Zoey. "No." Both of them said to Korra. "Why not?" Korra asked them. "Korra. Me and Zoey always believe in you. We always trusted you, but as soon as Unalaq showed up. You started to hurt the people that care about you and drove them away. And know you expect us to walk into that frozen forest." Lucas said to Korra. "Come on guys we need to do this. It's the only way to restore balance in the Southern Water tribe." Korra said to them.
"Well come The Reverse Dimension or high water were not moving." Zoey said as they crossed their arms and turned away from them. "What's that?" Lucas said as they noticed a pool of black sludge starting to form behind them and the ground started to shake a little. "Is it another Dark Spirit?" Bolin asked as everyone turned to the black pool, and he started to get scared again. Then two giant red eyes appeared out of the black pool. Soon something started to rise from the pool, scaring Naga and the Arctic camels.
The thing was giant, it's body was made of some kind of black slime it had a big head, a big and long neck, six legs, a tail, and had something wrapped around it's head, neck, and legs. Finally it had two giant spiky wings with six red spikes on them. It took Zoey and Lucas a few seconds to figure out what it was and they started to get scared as it let out a roar.
"Unalaq please do something." Bolin asked Unalaq, as he started to completely freak out. Unalaq said nothing just just started to do his spirit bending trick. "That's not going to work." Zoey said as the water wrapped around the thing and started to glow yellow. But it wasn't working. Then the thing flapped its wings and roared, breaking the water. "But how? That always works on Dark Spirits." Korra said looking at the thing. "Because that's not a Dark Spirit. It's something much, much worse." Lucas said to Korra. "If it's not a Dark Spirit then what is it?" Mako asked Lucas.
"What I am doesn't matter. What matters is getting rid of that fool before she kills us all! Now hand over Korra and I'll let you all live." The thing said to them with a commanding and erie voice. "We won't be handing her over to you." Mako said as he got ready to fire a bolt of electricity at the thing at the thing. "MAKO! WAIT!" Lucas yelled. But it was too late. Mako fired the bolt of electricity at the thing. But the thing easily dodged it. "What it dodged it." Mako said as Bolin tried to throw two big builders at the thing.
But then the thing fired two Shadow Balls and turned the boulders to dust. Then Unalaq and his kids tried to make a thick wall of ice in front of the thing. But the thing just flapped its wings and sent a giant burst of purple air at them, starting the wall into a million pieces. "It would seem that you all wish to die with her. Very well." The things said as black and peuple energy started to gather in its mouth.
"EVERYONE RUN INTO THE FOREST NOW!" Zoey Yelled to everyone. "What why?" Korra asked them. "JUST GO!" Lucas Yelled as he used his earthbending making the ground under them rise then he pushed them all into the forest. "INOMING!" Zoey said as the thing fired a biant back and purple beam at them. Zoey then grabbed Lucas and used her firebending to send the both of them into the forest dodgin the attack. "Zoey, Lucas even after all she has done. You still protect her. You two haven't changed a bit." The thing said as it disappeared.
Inside the forest everyone was in a big area that was completely covered in ice. Where Lucas and Zoey were catching their breath while everyone wondered what just happened and what was that thing. "We... should be… safe... for a… little while…" Lucas said to everyone. "We… need to… move… he won't… give up… that easily." Zoey said to everyone. "He? You two know him?" Korra asked them. The two didn't say anything, they just looked at each other.
"You do know him. Tell us what that thing was." Korra said to them. "Ok his name is Giratina. The Renegade Pokemon. This Pokemon is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours, where common knowledge is distorted and strange." Lucas said to them, surprising them.
"That was a Pokemon?" Korra asked them. "Yes. But what you all faced out there was just a fragment of his power." Zoey said to them, surprising them even more. "What you gotta be kidding. That thing easily beat us, and it didn't even use its true power?" Bolin asked them. "I'm sure I could have handled him if you two didn't pull me out of the fight." Korra said to them. "Korra, Unalaq told you about how Arceus is the master of the Creatures. Well Giratina is part of the trio that is right behind Arceus in power. He is called the master of Anti-matter." Lucas said to everyone.
"Then why is he after Korra?" Mako asked them. "Simply, she is a threat to Giratina." Zoey said to Mako. "How am I a threat to him?" Korra asked them. "I don't know. But he chose now to attack. It's probably because you were going to open that spirit portal and upset the balance of his dimension?" Lucas said to Korra.
"What do you mean?" Korra asked Lucas. "Legends said that Giratina stays in his dimension and only leaves to get rid of anyone or anything that is a treat to it." Lucas said to Korra. "How is me help restore the south, a threat to his dimension?" Korra asked them. "It's not helping the south is the problem. It's opening the portal that's the problem." Zoey said to Korra. "How is that the problem?" Bolin asked Zoey.
"Legends say that Giratina's dimension is a filter for time and space. So if you disrupt the natural flow of time and space. You disrupt the energies in Giratina's dimension, polluting it and making Giratina mad." Lucas said to Korra "But the spirit portal is a natural thing; how can it disrupt time and space?" Unalaq asked them "It's what's behind that portal that will disrupt time and space." A voice said surprising everyone.
Then Giratina appeared out of nowhere, charging at them. "LOOK OUT!" Lucas said as he and Zoey pushed Korra out of the way. This made Giratina crash into the wall breaking the wall. Soon the entire place started to collapse. Giratina then disappeared and everyone then ran into some tunnels separating the group. With Lucas, Zoey and Korra going deeper into the forest while still pushing Korra, and everyone else heading out of the forest.
"Where are we going?" Korra asked Lucas and Zoey. "Anywhere, but here." Zoey said to Korra. "Yeah we have to keep running." Lucas said to Korra. "No we don't, we can take him." Korra said to them, stopping them. "Brave words form a fool, but if you want to face me then here I am." Giratina said as he reapered in front of them and fired a Shadow Ball at them. Lucas then notices a tunnel next to them and quickly pulls the girls down the tunnel, dodging the shadow ball.
This made Giratina mad. Giratina then disappeared again. "Giratina why are you doing this?" Lucas asked Giratina, looking around for him. "Because the Avatar is nothing, but trouble. We should have ended her the first time we met." Giratina said to them. "Wait? We met before?" Korra asked Girnatina. "That doesn't matter. What matters is getting rid of you before you break our worlds again." Giratina said to Korra. "What do you mean "again"?" Zoey asked Giratin, as Giratina reappeared and fired a Hyper Beam at them. Making them go down a different tunnel.
Then Giratina disappeared and started to talk again. "It was her first life that destroyed the balance. It was her second to last life that got the Airbenders killed. Her last life that our world was plage by people like those stupid Team's, as well as driving the people of Aether Paradise and Macro Cosmos crazy." Giratina said to them. "What?" Lucas and Zoey, surprised by Giratina's words.
"The Avatar hasn't brought balance to the world. She and all of her past lives have only fixed the messes they made." Giratina as he reappeared and fired a Shadow Ball at them. But they dodged it and it broke the floor dropping them through a hole in the floor. "No not that why." Giratina said as he disappeared again
They rolled down the hole and landed in an underground area. "Where are we?" Zoey asked as she rubbed the back of her head. "And why is it so bright down here?" Lucas asked looking around. "Guys, look it's the spirit Portal." Korra said as they noticed a glowing white cypher in the middle of the area with glowing red and orange roots wrapped around it all buried in ice.
"Amazing." Korra said, walking to the portal. "Korra, wait I don't think we should open it." Lucas said to Korra. "What why?" Korra asked him. "You heard Giratina. There's something bad behind that portal. We should just leave it and get out of here." Lucas said to Korra. "But Unalaq said that if we want to help restore the south we need to open it." Korra said to them. "We'll find another way, one that doesn't involve us being chased by a Legendary Pokemon." Zoey said to Korra.
"No I have to do this. It's my job as the Avatar to restore balance. And that's what I'm going to do." Korra said as she started to channel a large amount of fire at the ice. "Korra, stop, we can't stay here we have to go." Zoey said to Korra. "No, I'm finishing this. You two go if you want. Just like Dakota and Lily." Korra said to them, focusing on the ice. "Korra they didn't leave you, you drove them away." Lucas said to Korra as she intensively lit her fire.
The Southern Air Temple
Meanwhile Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo were asleep in one of the rooms in the Air Temple. Then Jinora's eyes started to open. Soon half asleep Jinora walked into the statue room and walked to the highest point of the room where she found and opened a door. Then she fully woke up as she walked into the room. In the room were five really old wooden statues. With four statues, two male statues and two females around one male statue in the middle. with a faded symple on the floor. There were and they were all wearing robs but the paint on the statues has completely faded out.
Behind one of the males was a giant turtle with a broken tree and some rocks in it's back. Behind one of the females was a big lizard with six orbs on it's back and had two spikes on both if it's arms, it's tail was also covered in spikes but all the spikes were broken. Behind the other female was a creature with a long neck and a broken flower around the end of its neck. Another of the male had a big creature with what looked like big leaves and a big flower on it's back. And the last male had some kind of spirit wrapped around him as he stood on what looked like a dragon with spikes on the back of its neck, shoulder, and wings. It's wings were rigide and it had two horns on its head. Finally there was what looked like fire at the end of it's tail and coming out of the side of its mouth.
"What Avatar is this? And who are all these people? And what those animals I never seen anything like, them in my books." Jinora said, looking at the statues.
The South Pole
Back in the South Pole Korra finished cutting through the ice, but the roots around the portal kept healing the damage Korra did to them. "Why can't I get rid of these roots." Korra said as she tried to burn them again. "Korra we need to go. Giratina will be here any second now." Lucas said to Korra. "You're wrong I'm already here." Giratina said he appeared behind them.
"Nowhere to run! Now Avatar! Let's finish this!" Giratina said as he charged up another Hyper Beam. "Fine with me." Korra said as she entered her Avatar state and got ready to fight Giratina. Lucas and Zoey then looked at each other and knew what to do. They grabbed Korra, who was still in the avatar state, and pulled her into hole with the portal in it, dogging Giratina Hyper Beam.
"NO!" Giratina yelled as Lucas touched an orange root and Zoey touched a red root. Soon both of their eyes started to glow green and the roots moved out of the way. Allowing Korra to touch the portal directly. That single tap was enough to break the portal open. Soon a pillar of light burst out of the portal sending everyone out to hole and landed on their backs looking at the sky. "NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Giratina said as his shadow self broke apart. Soon the light reached the sky and started to split, covering the sky in a vibrant green light. And the ice covering the forest and the Everstorm started to disappear.
"The spirits dancing in the sky." Korra said as they got up. "Ok so maybe I was wrong about the auroras here." Zoey said to everyone. "Well it looks like Giratina gone." Lucas said looking around for Giratina. "Good redens come on let's go." Korra said leading the way out of the forest. "Zoey do you have this feeling, that we just made a mistake." Lucas asked Zoey. "Yeah. I do." Zoey said to Lucas as they started to follow Korra out of the forest.
The Southern Air Temple
Back in the room with the wooden statues. Jinora watched as the statue in the middle started to glow yellow, with the dragon under him glowing black and blue. Then the to male statues around the middle one started to glow orange and blue, with the two females glowing white and red. And their animal behind then started to glow green.
Then symbols the floor started to yellow revealing an X with two half circles going through the side of the X, revealing the stute in the middle in the center of the X and the other four statues at the ends of the X. Jinora was speechless. She was amazed at the sight of all the statues.
The South Pole
Back at the forest Mako, Bolin, Unalaq, Eska, and Desna, where waiting outside for Lucas, Zoey, and Korra in wonder at the sight of the aurora. "I can't believe it." Mako said to Bolin. "It's beautiful." Bolin said, whipping away a tear, as Unalaq cracked a smile.
Meanwhile Dakota and Tonraq stopped driving and looked at the aurora. "She did it." Tonraq said to Dakota. "But at what price?" Dakota said as he started to move on. With Tonraq following Dakota a few seconds later.
Soon Korra, Lucas, and Zoey, came out of the forest. "Hey, Korra, Lucas, Zoey you're back!" Bolin said as he hugged them, this annoyed Eska. "Hey their back." Bolin said to everyone, before he hugs Korra. Then an ice wall came up and grabbed Bolin. "Wha-huh?" Bolin said as he was dragged and turned to Eska. "Why are you initiating physical contact with another woman?" Eska asked Bolin, who just gulped and laughed nervously.
"What happened to that thing?" Mako asked them. "Giratina is gone, we don't know what happened to him." Zoey said to Mako as Korra walked to Unalaq. "Everything you said was true." Korra said to Unalaq. "Avatar Korra, you have taken the first step in bringing balance back to the south, and soon, the whole world." Unalaq said to Korra before Mako hugged Korra up and spinned around. "You never cease to amaze me." Mako said to Korra.
"Thanks. By the way, I'm really sorry for being a total pain. Things were really stressful and confusing. It's hard being the Avatar." Korra said to Mako. "It's harder being the Avatar's Boyfriend." Mako said to Korra. Then Korra turned to Lucas and Zoey. "Lucas, Zoey. I'm sorry for everything. You all were right. I have been a bad friend these last few days. But even though you two hated me, you still saved me, so thank you." Korra said to them.
The two of them looked at each other and then sighed. "To be fair we haven't been the best friends either. So we're sorry for that." Lucas said to Korra. "So are we good?" Korra asked them. "No, broken bones and buildings can be healed and fixed. But broken trust, broken friendship, that takes a long time to heal. It may be awhile before we can completely trust you again. But if you work at it? That it will be stronger than before." Zoey said to Korra.
"Come on, it's time to head back." Unalaq said to everyone. Soon everyone mounted up and started to head back to the city.
The Prime Dimension
In the Prime Dimension Arceus and the Legendarys were all looking at Giratina who was in the middle of them. "Giratina what have you done!" Arceus asked Giratina. 'What we should have done a long time ago." Giratina said to Arceus. "What is he talking about?" Mewtwo asked Arceus. "I'm talking about the fact that the Avatar is nothing, but a problem maker. You suffered because of the Avatar's choices." Giratina said to Mewtwo.
"Is that true?" Mewtwo asked Arceus. "Yes it's true. But if not for those choices. You would be with us and our world wouldn't be what it is today." Arceus said to Mewtwo. "Yeah I like the world we have. It's so much fun and I have a cool sibling." Mew said hugging Mewtwo. "But what about the Avatar? Are we going to do nothing as she let's Vaatu out? She already opened one of the spirits portals." Giratina said to everyone.
"A portal that she only found because you chased her and the others through the forest." Kyurem said to Giratina. "And the only reason it opened was because to dodge you attack Lucas and Zoey had to pull Korra into the only safe spot in that area which happened to be the hole with the portal in it." Zamazenta said to Giratina. "And while admit, that we should remove the person who caused all this ourselves. The problem is you're trying to take out the wrong." Yveltal said to Giratina.
"Enough!" Arceus yelled to everyone, making them silent. "What's done is done. So we just have to wait and hope that the Avatar and the Trainers can come back from this." Arceus said to everyone. "Are we still not going to help them?" Solgaleo asked Arceus. "Only if they need it, and while they are shaky at the moment. They don't need it." Arceus said to Solgaleo. "As for you Giratina. If you try anything like that again without my say so. I will lock you in the Reverse Dimension, and remove your windows to the other dimensions. Is that clear." Arceus said to Giratina. "Crystal, Arceus." Giratina said before everyone left the Prime Dimension.
The South Pole
After a day of traveling everyone arrived at the edge of the city. When they got there they saw a lot of warships with the symbols of the Northern water tribe on them sailing into port and soldiers entering the city. "What are all your Northern troops doing here?" Korra asked Unalaq as she got off Naga's back.
"Opening the spirit portal was only the first step in getting the southern water tribe back on its righteous path. There's more difficult work to be done before our two tribes are truly untied." Unalaq said to Korra, making her worry. "I knew that we made a mistake." Lucas said to Zoey. "Yeah a big one." Zoey said to Lucas as they watched the South get invaded by the North.
