Lost : Esacpe from the Spirit world

Amity's intro

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years passed, and me, Willow and Gus discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Luz. And although her airbending skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone.

But I believe Luz can save the world

Prelude

The shot opens to Luz on a hill sitting with her hands covering her ears. The camera pans in and Luz wakes up.

"What happened? Where am I?" Luz asked

(Off-camera.) "You are in the Spirit World." a voice said

(Looks up and smiles.) "Prince Loe!" Luz said

The shot changes to show the spirit Loe floating in front of the moon. The camera pans toward him.

"Luz, your Avatar Spirit has been injured. If you don't act fast, you will lose your connection to your past lives …" (Shot changes to Luz looking concerned.) "and the Avatar Cycle will end." (Shot changes to a side shot of Loe.) "You must find your previous four past lives and reconnect with them." Loe said

(Camera pans to her.) "How do I do that?" Luz asked

(Off-camera.) "You will find them here, in the Spirit World. But be careful ... Koh will try to steal your face." (Frontal shot of Luz, whose eyes widen in concern. She subsequently relaxes her face to show no emotion.) "Be careful about what spirits you talk to." (Frontal shot of Loe.) "Some will help you, but others work for Koh, and they will trick you." (Camera pans out as Loe fades away.) "Good luck, Luz." Loe said

Fade to black.

Chapter 1: Avatar Moku

The shot shows a geyser of fire come out from the ground. When the geyser suddenly stops, the camera shows Luz standing behind it, and slowly pans in.

(Yelling.) "Moku, where are you?" (A geyser goes off in the trees behind her. She looks around and slowly walks forward. Suddenly, a geyser goes off right in front of her.) Aaahh!" Luz screamed

(Suddenly appears from inside the geyser. Bowing.) "Hello Luz." Moku said

"I'm sorry, Moku ... I tried to master the Avatar State ... but I failed." Luz said

"Mastering the Avatar State takes much spiritual discipline and patience." (Frontal shot.) "I learned this the hard way." Moku said

The camera fades to white and shows an aerial shot of Crescent Island. Moku's blue dragon flies toward the volcano.

"Where are we going?" Luz asked

The shot changes to a closer shot of the volcano as Moku's dragon flies down to the temple.

"To the Fire Sage's temple. One-hundred-fifty-four years ago …" Moku said

Cut to inside the temple. Luz and Moku are standing in the corner as spirits, while Kaja and a younger Moku sit on the floor meditating.

"Concentrate on your breath ... Clear your mind of all thoughts …" (Split screen showing Moku on the bottom and Kaja on the top.) "Enter the Avatar State …" Kaja said

A message appears on the bottom of the camera: "Fun Fact: Fire Sage Kaja is Fire Sage Shyu's Grandfather" before fading out. Frontal shot of Moku.

(Thinking.) "Inhale ... and exhale ... I think my leg is falling asleep ... clearing my mind ... I hope we're not eating komodo chicken for lunch again …" (Sweating and gritting his teeth.) "Arrggh, concentrate!" (The camera shakes as he tries to concentrate. He finally stands up.) "I can't do it! I've been in retreat for five months and I'm no closer to mastering the Avatar State than when I arrived!" Young Moku yelled

(Camera cuts to outside the temple.) "But I was impatient, so I decided to use the winter solstice sun to help me …" Moku said

Cut to inside the temple. Moku meditates on the floor as a beam of light moves close to him.

"What are you doing?" Luz asked

"I'm trying to enter the Avatar State using the spiritual energy from the Sun." Moku said

The shot shows a red crystal from which the beam of light emanates. Frontal shot of Moku as the circle of light falls on his face. Moku opens his eyes, showing he is in the Avatar State. The camera pans back to show the spirits Luz and Moku watching the scene.

"You did it, Moku! You mastered the Avatar State!" Luz said

"Well, not exactly …" Moku said

Luz looks toward the camera, which pans back to show Kaja.

(Peeking from behind a door.) "Moku, what did you do?!" Kaja asked

Cut to an outside-view of the temple. White light emanates from the windows before the roof explodes and a pillar of light beams up into the sky. Cut to Moku standing in a ball of air as he slowly lifts himself from the ground.

(His spirit speaks to Luz.) "I was stuck in the Avatar State." (Kaja protects himself from the winds.) "I could see my body, but I couldn't control it." (The volcano on the island erupts.) "Luckily, Fire Sage Kaja was wiser than I, and he knew how to break the Avatar State's hold on me." Moku said

Kaja raises the red crystal and directs the beam at Moku's face. Pan in toward Moku as he exits the Avatar State.

"What happened?" (He collapses and the camera fades to black. Cut to Moku kneeling on the ground as Kaja stands next to him.) "Cough! Cough!" Young Moku coughed

"Looks like we have a lot more training to do ... after you rebuild the temple." Kaja said

Moku looks up and smiles sheepishly.

(His spirit speaks to Luz.) "I see my own impatience in you, Luz. Do not be too hard on yourself. You will master the Avatar State, as I finally did." (Camera fades to Moku riding away on his dragon.) "Look for Avatar Kyoshi in the place where Hei Bai sleeps!" Moku said

(Camera fading to black.) "... what?" Luz asked

Chapter 2: Avatar Kyoshi

The shot shows Hei Bai sitting among a bamboo forest and nibbling on a piece of bamboo.

(Off-camera, excited.) "Hei Bai!" (Hugging Hei Bai.) "Moku told me I'd find you here!" Luz said

"Rraaaawww!" Hei Bai roared

(Stops hugging him.) "I'm happy to see you too. I don't suppose you've seen Avatar Kyoshi around, have you?" (Camera fades to black and cuts to Luz riding on Hei Bai. Pointing.) "There she is!" Luz said

Cut to Kyoshi standing in the bamboo forest as Luz stands near Hei Bai. She smiles at her.

"It's nice to see you, Luz. Sorry about the whole 'wrongfully accused of murder' thing back in Chin Village." Kyoshi said

"That's okay." Luz said

A box fades onto the bottom of the screen, reading "Fun Fact: Kyoshi lived for 230 years, making her the oldest Avatar in history", before fading away.

"After Chin the Conqueror died, I helped the world live in balance. I accomplished a lot of good, but I also made some mistakes …" (Fade to white and cut to Ba Sing Se.) "One of my greatest challenges was dealing with a peasant uprising in Ba Sing Se." Kyoshi said

Cut to the Royal Earthbender Guards defending the Royal Palace from the peasant mobs.

"Down with the Earth King!" an angry peasant yelled

Cut to Ba Sing Se's Upper Ring.

(Voice-over.) "The peasants felt that the Earth King's role was outdated and that he did not represent their interests. So they stormed the Upper Ring." (Cut to outside the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace, where the peasants topple a statue.) "The peasants destroyed priceless historical artifacts and buildings - anything that represented the 'old government'" (Cut to the inside to the throne room.) "The Earth King summoned me to help him end the revolution." Kyoshi said

Cut to a close-up shot of the Earth King. A box fades on top of the screen with the words "Fun Fact: The 46th Earth King is the current Earth King's great-great-great-great grandfather", before fading away.

"I don't care how you do it, but I want you to squash those unruly peasants!" the 46th Earth King said

"I won't do it." Kyoshi said

(Stands up.) "How dare you defy your King!" (Pointing.) "Guards, arrest Avatar Kyoshi!" the 46th Earth King said

Five of the Earth King's guards surround Kyoshi, who plants her feet on the floor and sends the guards flying away with her airbending. Cut to Kyoshi standing before the Earth King at his throne. He leans away from her in shock as she points one of her fans at him in a threatening manner.

"How dare you defy your Avatar! Are you ready to make a compromise?" Kyoshi asked

(Timidly.) "Yes …" the 46th Earth King said

"I don't like this revolution either. But everyone in this Kingdom must have a voice if balance is to prevail over tyranny. So I propose this - you will listen to the peasants' grievances and I will protect your interests and Ba Sing Se's cultural heritage. Agreed?" Kyoshi asked

"Agreed …" the 46th Earth King said

Cut to Kyoshi observing a line of earthbenders.

(Voice-over.) "I immediately set to work training an elite force of Earthbenders …" (Cut to her elite force scaling a wall.) "They would be silent, precise …" (Cut to a closer shot of the wall, where a member of her elite force grabs onto it with a rock glove.) "and feared by all." (Cut to her elite force standing in rows.) "They became known as the Dai Li." Kyoshi said

Cut to Luz as the flashback ends.

"You trained the Dai Li? But they're the worst, most corrupt Earthbenders in the world!" Luz said

"I thought I was doing the right thing by creating a group that protected cultural history. I had no idea what they would become. Luz, our actions always have an effect, sometimes positive, sometimes negative ... and sometimes not for many lifetimes." (Cut to her helping Luz onto Hei Bai.) "Hurry! You must find the Waterbender Avatar who came before me." Kyoshi said

"But I don't even know his name!" Luz said

"His name is Avatar Kuruk." Kyoshi said (She fades away.)

Fade to black.

Chapter 3: Avatar Kuruk

The shot shows Luz riding through the Spirit World on Hei Bai.

(They pass a faceless monkey spirit.) "We're in the Realm of Koh, Hei Bai ... We better be careful." (a man lands in front of them and Luz screams.) "Aaahh!" (Falls off Hei Bai and lands in some mud.) "Koh took your face and replaced it with a bear's face!" Luz said

(Lifts his head to show that he is wearing a polar bear's skin hat.) "Relax kid. I'm not going to hurt you." (Helps Luz stand up.) "I'm Avatar Kuruk! Nice to finally meet you. Now tell me, have you seen a beautiful woman with long, brown hair around here?" Kuruk asked

"No, who is she?" Luz asked

"She's my wife." (Closes his eyes. Fade to him as a young Avatar.) "When I was a young Avatar …" (Camera pans out to show his younger self lifting a boulder with one hand while an earthbender stands beside him and lifts a boulder with two hands.) "... I traveled the world, challenging other benders to tests of strength …" Kuruk said

(Speaking inside the flashback and pointing at the camera.) "I challenge you to an Agni Kai!" Young Kuruk said

The shot changes to show him pointing at a Fire Nation civilian.

"Uh, I was just going to the store." a Fire Nation civilian said

Cut to the Eastern Air Temple.

(Voice-over.) "I loved impressing people with my bending prowess. Especially girls." Kuruk said

Camera pans down to show Kuruk creating an air funnel with lotus flowers inside to impress a group of Air Nomad ladies.

"Bet you girls have never seen a lotus tornado before!" Young Kuruk said

"It's beautiful!" an Airbender girl said

"I love you, Avatar Kuruk!" another Airbender girl said

Cut to Kuruk riding a wave on a surf board.

(Voice-over.) "I was arrogant, proud, and boastful ... I never thought about settling down until I met the love of my life." (Cut to the Northern Water Tribe.) "We met during the New Moon Celebration, when the sister tribes would come together as one." (Cut to Kuruk standing amid three women and looking past them.) "It was love at first sight." (Cut to a woman.) "Her name was Ummi. She was from the Southern Tribe. And she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen." (Cut to Ummi and Kuruk sitting together in front of the full moon.) "With Ummi in my life, I decided to change my irresponsible ways and settle down." Kuruk said

Cut to Kuruk offering Ummi a betrothal necklace.

"A betrothal necklace?" Ummi asked

"Ummi, will you marry me?" Young Kuruk asked

"Yes!" Ummi said

They kiss. Cut to the Spirit Oasis.

(Voice-over.) "We were to be married in the Spirit Oasis. But on the day of our wedding, tragedy struck." Kuruk said

Ummi glances down at the spirit pond and falls in.

"Ummi! No!" Young Kuruk said (Swims into the spirit pond.)

(Voice-over.) "Ummi fell into the spirit pond, as if some unseen force pulled her in." Kuruk said

(Standing in the middle of the Spirit Oasis as Tui and La circle him.) "She's gone …" Young Kuruk said

(Voice-over.) "She didn't drown. She disappeared into the Spirit World ... Koh took her to punish me for my past mistakes." (Cut to Luz and Kuruk in the Spirit World.) "Every year, on the anniversary of our wedding, I traveled to the Spirit World hoping to save my wife from Koh. But I failed." Kuruk said

(Glances to the side.) "I'm sorry. I know how that feels." (Her eyes widened.) "Wait! I've seen her!" (Cut to Luz's flashback of Koh using Ummi's face.) "Koh still has her! When I was in Koh's lair, he showed me Ummi's face!" Luz said

(Determined.) "Thank you, Luz. My search is not over yet. I will keep hunting Koh until Ummi and I are reunited." (Runs away.) "Hurry! Avatar Yangchen is waiting for you!" Kuruk said

Fade to black.

Chapter 4: Avatar Yangchen

The shot shows Luz and Hei Bai standing at the top of a mountain.

"Hello? Avatar Yangchen? Anyone here?" Luz asked

(Fades in front of Luz.) "It's an honor to meet you, Luz." Yangchen said

"It's been such an amazing experience to meet my past lives." Luz said

"And what did you learn by meeting them?" Yangchen asked

"Well ... I realized that no Avatar is perfect. They all struggled and made mistakes. Like me." Luz said

"Very wise." Yangchen said

"But it made me wonder - why is the Avatar Spirit a human in every life? Wouldn't it be better if the Avatar was an all powerful spirit that never died?" Luz asked

"I don't think so." (Amity, Gus, Willow, Eda, Camila, Boscha, Lilith and Kaldo fade onto the camera.) "The Avatar must be compassionate towards all people ... and the only way to do that is to live with them." (Fade to a sand sailer dragging Appa away.) "The Avatar must experience sadness …" (Camera pans to show Luz with tears rolling down her face. Cut to Luz in the Avatar State in the crystal catacombs.) "Anger …" (Cut to Luz, Amity and Gus penguin sledding.) "Joy …" (Cut to Team Avatar reuniting with Appa.) "and happiness." (Cut to Yangchen.) "By feeling all these emotions, it helps you understand how precious human life is ... so you will do anything to protect it. If you were an all powerful spirit living on the top of some mountain, you wouldn't have much in common with an ordinary person. So the Avatar continues to take human rebirth." (Kuruk, Kyoshi, and Moku appear behind her.) "And with each life, learns what it means to be human." Yangchen said

"Now that I've reconnected with all of you, does that mean the Avatar Spirit is okay?" Luz asked

(The three Avatar spirits behind Yangchen fade away.) "Yes, but your physical body is still injured. You need time to heal." (Puts her hand on Luz's forehead tattoo and both of their Air Nomad tattoos glow.) "And unfortunately, it seems your ability to enter the Avatar State has been disrupted. You won't be able to rely on your past lives to help you. You must rely on your friends and family. And when you wake up, you won't remember this journey to the Spirit World. It will be like a forgotten dream." (Fading away.) "Until we meet again, Luz." Yangchen said

Fade to the words

"The End" with a black background.
