A/N: Things are getting very weird I wouldn't believe Zakai change in personality would cause him to be Angry at this.
"Civil Wars, Part 2"
Newsreel
Shiro Shinobi: [Narrating a newsreel.] Tensions between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes have reached a breaking point. After Chief Unalaq's troops took over the South, Varrick incited an uprising. But Korra stopped the rebels from abducting her uncle. Enraged by the insurrection, Unalaq arrested the rebels and Korra's parents, accusing them of conspiring to assassinate him. Will Korra be able to save her parents and prevent civil war?
Shiro Shinobi: [Narrating a newsreel.] As Zakai return from the South Pole changed him into a different person, He is adding more fire to the breaking point of the Northern and Southern Watertribes. What has happened to him to make him revel such hatred between the two tribes?
Southern Watertribe; Korra's Parents home
In the Southern Water Tribe, outside of Tonraq and Senna's house, Korra's parents are being loaded into a prison truck. Korra and her parents exchange worried gazes.
Korra: [To Unalaq.] You're making a mistake.
Unalaq: I wish it hadn't come to this. But your parents held meeting with the rebels, right here in their home.
Korra: [In disbelief.] I can't believe you're doing this to your own family.
Unalaq: Rest assured, I've appointed Judge Hotah to oversee the trial. He is the most fair and honorable man I know.
Korra: Uncle, my parents had nothing to do with the men who attacked you.
Unalaq: I'm sure you're right. So we should have nothing to worry about.
Korra: [Unsure.] I hope so.
Varricks Mansion
The scenes cuts to inside of Varrick's mansion, where Asami, Mako, and Bolin are waiting.
Asami: Where's Zakai? Where's Varrick? We should've closed our deal an hour ago.
Bolin: Would you relax?
Bolin and was relaxing on the Couch as he is eating food and responding to Asami.
Bolin: This place is great. [Closes his eyes in delight.] And the best part about it, Eska doesn't know I'm here.
Soon the door opens and we see Zakai as Pabu and Bolin look to the door.
Asami: Zakai there you are! Where have you been?
Zakai: Here and there. You know looking around currently we're finding a traitor.
Mako: We?
Right behind Zakai we see Eska, Desna, and several Northern Water Tribe soldiers enter the room.
Bolin: [Stands up in shock.] Ee-yah. [To Eska.] I wasn't hiding. Hey, hey-hey, hey.
Eska: I'm not on the hunt for you. [Slightly narrows her eyes.] Currently.
Desna: We search for Varrick. Our father wishes him to stand trial.
Asami: What did he do?
Eska: He is a traitor to the Water Tribe, along with our aunt and uncle.
Asami: What?
Mako: Korra's parents were arrested?
Desna: Yes. Your powers of deduction are impressive.
Bolin: [Points to Mako with his thumb.] Yeah, he's a cop.
Northern guardsman: [To the twins.] Varrick's not here.
Eska: Very well. Desna, let us continue our search elsewhere. [To Bolin.] Boyfriend! Bow to me when I exit.
Bolin: [Bolin kneels and bows to Eska.] Yes, yes, my sweet koala otter.
Eska: You are so cute when you grovel.
Eska leaves, behind Desna and the soldiers as Zakai was the last one to leave but Asami then calls out to Zakai.
Asami: Zakai what are you doing?
He then looks at the three with an indifferent look on his face.
Zakai: What? I'm just doing what I'm told to do?
Asami: We'll Varrick is no Rebel. I thought you were helping me with Future Industries?
Zakai: I don't remember agreeing to that?
This shocked Asami as he looked confused as if he didn't actually remember that.
Zakai: Anyway I gotta go you keep the peace.
This confused the trio as they look at each other and at Zakai odd behavior to keep order and followed the rules and not helping them out as he leaves and closed the door on them.
Bolin was still kneeling as he looks up at Where Zakai was standing.
Bolin: That ... was weird.
Mako: Zakai would never work for anyone unless he is getting something in return.
Asami looks down in sadness before looking at Bolin and talk about Eska.
Asami: [To Bolin.] Don't let her treat you that way. Stand up for yourself.
Bolin: I tried to break up with her, but Mako gave me terrible advice. Thank you, Mako. [Bolin crosses his arms.]
Mako: Wait, how are your girl problems my fault?
Asami: Bolin, you need to be honest with her. Tell her how you really feel.
???: [Greatly muffled.] Honesty is for fools, kid.
The trio widen their eyes in surprise and looks around to find that voice actually belongs to Varrick as they look around.
Bolin: Varrick?
Varrick: [Voice still muffled.] If you want to ditch this girl, then make yourself scarce. Disappear, like I did.
Asami: [To Varrick.] Where are you?
Varrick: [To Asami, muffled.] Somewhere Unalaq will never find me.
His head appears from the stuffed platypus bear's mouth as was was disturbing and Not to mention Animal Cruelty.
Varrick Inside Ping-Ping! How we doin'?
Mako: The coast is clear. You can come out.
Varrick: No way, mister. Not until I know it's absolutely 157% safe.
Zhu Li's hand appears in the bear's mouth with a cup of tea, Varrick takes it and responds.
Varrick: Ah! Thank you, Zhu Li.
Asami: Your assistant's in there too?
Varrick: [To Asami.] Zhu Li never leaves my side.
Varrick takes a sip of the tea, but spits it out in disgust. To Zhu Li irritatingly with his vein shown on his head.
Varrick: Yuck! Pyugh! Pyuck! You forgot the honey!
Camera pans to the bear's center mass.
Zhu Li: [Muffled.] Sorry, sir. There isn't any in here.
Varrick: No honey? We're in a bear for crying out loud!
Mako: [To all.] I'm gonna go see how Korra's doing.
Mako walks out as Varrick has something for Bolin as he wants his help.
Varrick: Bolin, I got a little something for you 'round back.
The platypus bear's tail lifts up, and a stack of paper yuans falls out even more disturbing.
Bolin: [Bolin picks up the money.] Wow!
Varrick: Now listen up. Unalaq's rigged this trial, no doubt about it. So I need you to make sure my trusty rebels stay out of prison.
Bolin: [Stands, holds up the wad in his hand.] What's the money for?
Varrick: [Varrick blurts out with a laugh.] Bribery, of course! There's always someone willing to look the other way for a few yuans.
Bolin: I think I catch your drift, Varrick-bear.
As he smiles at him with a raised eyebrow.
Meanwhile at the Southern Air Temple
Cut to the Southern Air Temple, where Tenzin continues his search.
Tenzin: Ikki! Ikki, where are you?
Then Two ring-tailed winged lemurs land on Tenzin, annoying him.
Tenzin: Shoo! Go bother someone else. You two are worse than Kya and Bumi.
Ikki: [Shouting.] Okay, everybody here?
Tenzin: Ikki! Oh, thank goodness.
Ikki: [Tenzin walks into a cave.] Juniper Lightning bug, paws off the table!
We cut to Ikki seated around a raised platform with four other sky bison calves.
Ikki: This is going to be a civilized breakfast. Daddy always says a blessing before we eat, so ...
Then a calf stumbles over another.
Ikki: Be quiet and listen up!
The two calves look at Ikki. Cut to Tenzin running to the entrance, but stops.
Ikki: We are thankful for this super yummy food and for being the best-est new friends in the world.
Ikki continues as Tenzin smiles.
Ikki: But we are most thankful because Meelo and Jinora aren't here, because they stink.
Tenzin is saddened by this and frowns. Where we cut to Tenzin's point of view, where Ikki turns to see her father.
Ikki: Oh! Hi, Daddy. I guess you found me. Do I have to go now?
Tenzin: Actually, is there room for one more?
Ikki: Uh, sure. You can sit next to Blueberry Spicehead.
Tenzin: [Sits down, while the calf looks at Tenzin.] Nice to meet you, Blueberry Spicehead.
Ikki: And that's Princess Rainbow, and that's Twinkle Starchild, and that's Juniper Lightning Bug. They're my new brothers and sisters.
Tenzin: New ones, huh? Can they be my new brothers and sisters too?
Ikki: Maybe, but only if they say it's okay. [Leans in to the bison calf sitting to her left, and starts to listen to it.] Uh-huh, uh-huh. No, no, he's nice. They say it's okay.
The camera pulls back from a wide shot of the tea party.
Back at the Southern Watertribe; The Southern Palace
Cut to the Southern Water Tribe palace, followed by the interior of the courtroom. Cut to the rebels and Korra's parents, who will stand trial, before switching to a worried Korra and Mako as Bolin sits next to Asami.
Bolin: We're good to go. I gave all the money to some guys over there. I told them to "take care of it", and then I winked.
Bolin was Pleased with himself, he winks at them and laughs confidently.
Bolin: Pretty sure they got the message.
Cut to two shady-looking characters, who count the money with a smile and smile back at Bolin with thumbs up. Bolin returns the gesture while the gavel is hammered, and Asami facepalms at Bolin for being ... Bolin.
Law clerk: This trial will now come to order! Judge Hotah presiding.
Cut to Hotah, a serious-looking old man, settling into the judge's chair at the center of the dais.
Bolin: [Realization.] Man! I should have paid him!
Asami: [Annoyed.] Yeah, you think?
As Bolin looks worried. As Zakai was there as well as he had a evil Smirk as he looks at the Judge as he stares at Zakai in fear before going back to the Trial at hand.
As Zakai starts them off.
Zakai: I was just outside when the meeting took place when I heard what was going to happen I thought to tell Unalaq as he said he would take care of it.
A little while later we see Unalaq give his statement to the Judge.
Unalaq: I was asleep in my chambers when the rebels attacked. They overpowered me, and the next thing I remember was waking up in the snow after Avatar Korra had saved me.
Then Hotah then talks to Korra.
Hotah: According to Zakai and Unalaq's testimony, you attended a meeting where Varrick tried to incite a civil war. Is that true?
Korra: Yes.
Hotah: And where these men present at that meeting?
Korra: Well, yes, but -
Hotah: And where exactly did this meeting take place?
Bolin: Objection!
Hotah: Quiet down out there! I'll ask you one more time. Where did the meeting happen?
Korra: My parents' house.
Hotah: And who led this meeting?
Bolin: Your honor, if I may?
Hotah: May what?
Bolin: May I ... declare a mistrial?
Hotah: [To Bolin.] Sit down!
He sits down scared as he went back to Korra.
Hotah: [To Korra.] Varrick and your father led the meeting, didn't they?
Korra: [Defensively.] My parents are innocent!
Hotah: I've heard all I need to. I'll return shortly with my decision.
Judge Hotah leaves. Korra spouts a worried expression.
Somewhere else
Cut to a room where Eska is standing and Bolin enters.
Bolin: Hey there, Eska, I was wondering if we could talk.
Eska: I grant you permission to speak freely.
Bolin: [Nervously.] Oh, good, because I just need to be honest with you. You know, when we first met, there was this crazy spark. But I'm starting to feel like that spark is fading.
Eska: I agree. It is as if a great chasm has formed between us and nothing can bridge it.
Bolin: [Relieved.] Oh! Oh, yes! I'm so glad you understand!
Eska: Nothing, that is, except marriage.
Eska shows Bolin a betrothal necklace with a skull pendant, while sporting a menacing grin and widened eyes. Cut to Bolin's eyes going wide with fear, as she promptly ties it around his neck before dragging him toward her by the necklace.
Eska: We will wed at sunset. You may express your joy through tears.
Bolin[Laugh-Cries.] Oh, no, I can't - [Coughing as he is being dragged away by the necklace.] This is really tight.
The Courtroom
Cut back to the courtroom. All the defendants are now standing before Judge Hotah.
Hotah: Senna, please step forward.
Senna steps forward and looks worriedly at her husband.
Hotah: I have found you ... innocent. You are free to go.
A guard removes her handcuffs and she runs to Korra to hug her.
Senna: Korra!
Hotah: On the charge of treason, you are all found ... guilty. The punishment for this crime ... is death.
Cut to a shocked Mako and Asami, who stand up. Cut to Korra and Senna, who look on with utter shock and disbelief. Cut to Tonraq, who closes his eyes and bows. Cut back of the courtroom, where Zakai then gives out a evil smirk before he leaves and then Hotah leaves as well before Korra stops him.
Korra: You can't do this!
Hotah glances at Korra as did Zakai as he had a confused look to him as well.
Korra: You take their lives, and I'll take yours!
Hotah stops and his eyes widen in shock as then Zakai then prepare to fight Korra with his bending but Unalaq then came in and stopped Korra.
Unalaq: Korra, calm down. I'll talk to him.
He walks up to Hotah as to talk to him.
Unalaq: I know I promised to respect whatever decision you made, but I must ask you to reconsider. Show these men and my brother mercy.
Hotah: Very well. I'll change their punishment. Your lives will be spared, but you will live them out in prison.
Rebels and Tonraq heave a sigh of relief as they leave to go to prison.
Korra: Thank you, Uncle.
As Zakai sees this he shakes his head and leaves as Korra sensed Zakai by the doorway and exit the room as she grows even more concerned for his new behavior.
Meanwhile back at the Southern Air Temple
Cut to the cave where Tenzin and Ikki are in. Ikki plays with the bison calves by bending a ball of air which they chase, while Tenzin is petting another calf.
Tenzin: You like that, don't you, Blueberry Spicehead? [Cooing.] Yes, you do. [Calf snuggles against Tenzin.] You know, I could get used to it here. No one's yelling at me or telling me I'm delusional.
Ikki: We should have Uncle Bumi and Aunt Kya come visit. I bet they'd like it too.
Tenzin: Let's not. They'll only spoil our good mood.
Ikki: What do you mean? Aunt Kya is super nice and pretty and always asks me how I'm feeling, and Uncle Bumi is, like, the funniest person in the world.
Tenzin: But what about Meelo? He's hilarious too, you never know what's going to come out of his mouth. And Jinora can be so sweet and gentle.
Ikki: [Scowls.] And mean. And bossy. [Saddened.] Being part of a family is hard, huh, Daddy?
Tenzin: I couldn't agree with you more.
The calf which Tenzin is petting awakens and flies out of the cave with its siblings, where they reunite with their parents.
Ikki: But, I guess the nice part about a family is they'll always be there for you.
Cut to a calf biting its sibling's ear and both tug before chasing each other.
Ikki: Even though Twinkle Starchild and Princess Rainbow fight, they still love each other.
Tenzin: That's very wise of you, Ikki.
Ikki: We should probably head back, huh?
Tenzin: I suppose. We can't hide in this cave forever.
Holds Ikki's hand as the two head back to where everyone else is.
Ikki: Don't worry, Daddy. We'll come back and visit Blueberry Spicehead. I know you really bonded with her.
Tenzin: Yes, I'd like that.
Southern Watertribe Prison
Cut to an exterior of the prison, cut to Tonraq's cell which Korra and Senna enter.
Senna: Honey, are you all right?
Tonraq: I'm fine.
Korra: [Determined.] Good, let's bust you out of here right now.
Tonraq: Korra, no. Saving me would start a war. If fighting were to break out, the North would crush the South. I'll be all right. Just promise me you won't do anything rash.
Korra: Fine. I promise.
Korra's Parents House
Cut to the land where Korra and her parents' house is located. Cut to the interior, where Senna is standing before the sink, crying. Korra is watching her from a distance, before approaching her mother.
Korra: [Consoling.] It's okay, Mom.
Senna: I-I hate feeling so helpless. [Wipes off tears.]
Korra: I know.
The camera zooms in on her face as she gives an angry and determined look.
Somewhere else
Cut to a cliff where a Satomobile is being driven. Cut to the interior, where Hotah is driving the car.
???: Hi there.
He soon noticed Zakai in the back seat as he looks scared.
Hotah: I did what you and Unalaq asked what do you want from me?
Zakai: Well, for starters we can't have you blabbing off to the Avatar so Unalaq sent me to kill you with an unfortunate ... Unfortunate accident.
Hotah: What?
Zakai: Yep and ... you have got to be kidding me.
Soon Hotah looks in his review mirror. A close-up of the mirror reveals Korra riding Naga behind his car, gaining on him fast. His eyes widen in surprise.
Soon Zakai then buster out the window and blasts Korra with fire as she quickly dodged it on Naga as she was shocked to see Zakai but changes to Anger and comes in closer.
Zakai: [Threatening.] If you want to live longer I suggest you put your foot to the pedal!
A quick close-up of Hotah's foot shows him flooring the gas pedal as he then firebends some more at Korra and Naga.
Korra and Naga slow down to dodge, however, they manage to catch up and knock the Satomobile, causing it to lose control and slamming to the side of the cliff with Zakai flying in the air and land on the snowy ground unconscious as Korra then went to find rope in her saddle back but finds Zakai's Necklace as she then pockets it and then tied up Zakai and puts him on Naga's saddle. Naga then knocks off the door, while Hotah looks in fear. Korra pulls him up and slams him against the side of the Satomobile.
Hotah: [Terrified.] What do you want?
Korra: [Threatening.] It's not about what I want. It's about what Naga wants.
Naga then growls in anger.
Korra: And she'd like you to let my father out of prison.
Hotah: I-I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. I was just following Unalaq's orders.
Korra: [Enraged.] What are you talking about?
Hotah: I-I've said too much.
She then throws Hotah into Naga's mouth in order to then get more information.
Korra: Unless you wanna be Naga's afternoon snack, you'd better keep talking.
Hotah: I-I've worked for your uncle for years! He said he needed everyone to think the trial was fair.
Korra: So Unalaq told you what to say?
Hotah: Yes! Every word.
Korra: Then why did he have you free my mother and change your sentence?
Hotah: He's trying to keep you on his side. But he also wants your father out of the way. Just like when he got your father banished. Even he was there to make sure everything was going smoothly.
Soon Hotah points at Zakai as he was still unconscious as Korra couldn't believe it.
Korra: [Shocked and Saddened.] What?! [Angry.] You're lying! Zakai would never do this! He would never go along with this! He wouldn't do this to me!
Hotah: [Fearful.] I swear it's the truth! He even tried to kill me to keep me from telling anyone the truth.
Korra face was shocked and saddened by Zakai's betrayal she just couldn't believe this as she had trusted Zakai since Amon came in, she then turned angry and then went back to Unalaq and her father.
Korra: [Close-up on Korra's Angry face.] You're going to tell me everything starting with how, "he got my father banished"?
Hotah: [Fearthing.] Nothing! I'm not telling you anything!
Korra: [Threatening.] Oh, your going to Keep talking.
We zoom in on Korra's furious expression. As she Menacingly looks at him.
Southern Air Temple Island
Cut to the Air Temple Sanctuary, where Bumi is looking at a statue of his father, Avatar Aang.
Bumi: Uh ... Hey there, Dad. You're looking well. [Apologetically.] Look, uh, I'm sorry I didn't turn out to be an airbender like you hoped. But I've tried my best to keep the world safe. Hope I made you proud.
As he we smiles we see the camera Panning to Kya standing at the entrance.
Kya: Of course he'd be proud of you, Bumi.
Bumi: Kya! I-I was just, [Wipes Aang's statue.] uh ... cleaning off Dad's statue. [Chuckles and coughs.] It's so dusty in here.
Kya: Come here. [Hugs Bumi.]
Bumi: [Hugs back his sister.] Thanks, Kya. You always know when I need a hug.
Meanwhile back at the Southern Watertribe; Varrick's Mansion
Korra: Unalaq's a liar and a traitor!
Varrick: I've been trying to tell you that from the get-go.
Mako: What happened?
Korra: I found out the truth about my dad's banishment. Unalaq hired the barbarians to attack their tribe. Then he told them to hide in the spirit forest, knowing my dad would go after them.
Mako: Unalaq wanted your dad out of the way so he could become chief. It was a setup.
Korra: Just like the whole trial. I can't believe I trusted him and Zakai.
This shocked everyone there as they now know that Zakai is helping Unalaq with the unification of the two tribes and got Korra's father thrown in Prison.
Korr: I'm busting my father and the rebels out of jail. I need your help.
Mako: If you do this, there's no going back.
Korra: I know. Will you help me or not?
Mako: Of course, I'll help.
Asami: Me too.
Varrick: [Raises Ping-Ping's paw.] Count me in!
The door opens, revealing both Bolin and Pabu dressed up like Eska. Bolin's hair stands up awkwardly.
Mako: I don't even want to know.
Asami: So I'm guessing the breakup with Eska didn't go well?
Bolin: [Sarcastically smiling.] No, no, the honesty thing worked out great. So great she decided we should [Scowls in anger.] get married!
Asami: Sorry.
Korra: [Slightly amused.] I'm pretty sure the guy is supposed to give the girl the betrothal necklace.
Bolin: I guess Eska didn't get the memo.
Varrick: Look, the only way to deal with crazy women is to lie big and leave fast. Lucky for you, Varrick's got your back. Now, gather 'round Ping-Ping. Let's talk plan.
Korra: Wait before we talk about a plan to help my father. There is someone else I need to talk to.
Meanwhile with Zakai
We see Zakai awake and in Varricks pantry by as he was put there as a prisoner as he is tied up real good in chains and gaged and is put on a hook as Korra then comes in and talks to Zakai she removes the gag and the two then look at each other as Zakai smiles evilly and Korra looks at him with anger.
Zakai: Well, you going to tell me what your plans are or ...?
Korra: No, I just want to know why betray me?
Zakai: That was always my mission, I befriended you only to end your life.
She looks at Zakai as she couldn't believe that when they first met he was only to betray her as she looks away before asking him an important question.
Korra: So everything was a lie?
Zakai: [Smiles.] Yes. All in order to defeat you.
Korra then looks down and turns around.
Korra: [Coldly.] Well, goodbye then Zakai. I hope we never see each other again.
She then walks away and closed the door on Zakai as he smiles evilly at her. As behind the door she slid down on the door and felt terrible she then breaks down and tears escape from her eyes as she touched them and then wipes them off as Mako comes in sees her crying. Before she wipes them and stand back up and act indifferent.
Mako: Korra are you ok?
Korra: I'm fine?
Mako: Are you sure? Did he say why he did th–
Korra: [Angry.] I said I'm fine! The sooner we save my dad, the sooner we can leave.
As Korra looked hurt as Mako sensed that what Zakai said seemed to hurt her but just leaves it at that and continues with their plan to save Korra's father.
Cut back to Zakai we see his eyes turn Red as he closed them as he seemed to be in a meditating state when suddenly he unlocked the lock with his mind as the lock falls to the ground as Zakai smiles and did it again with another lock and another as he then exited the room and smiles evilly.
Southern Watertribe Prison
We see a guard is patrolling the interior, where an earthbending move causes him to fall into a trench. Sparks fly out of the trench as the guard is electrocuted. Cut to the trench, where the unconscious guard is lying, while Asami, Mako, and Korra climb up the trench.
Korra: My dad's in there.
She opens the cell door, only to find it deserted.
Korra: Where is he?
Unalaq: I'm sorry, Korra. You'll never see your father again.
We see Unalaq as he looks grumpy and angry as Zakai shows up beside Unalaq with a evil Smirk as Korra, Asami, and Mako look on the other side.
Korra: Where's my father?
Unalaq: On a ship headed to the Northern Tribe. He'll serve out his sentence there.
Korra: Bring him back. Or I'm taking you out and the rest of your army.
Unalaq: Remember who you are. As the Avatar, you cannot threaten war. You must remain neutral, or our tribes will never find unity.
Korra: You don't want unity. You want power. You've always been jealous of my father, haven't you? You got him banished so you could become chief, and I bet it just killed you to learn he was the Avatar's father. No wonder you kept trying to take me away from him.
Unalaq: All I've ever wanted is to help you realize your destiny.
Korra: Well, I don't want your help anymore.
Unalaq: If you start a war, the dark spirits will annihilate the South. And even I will be powerless to stop them.
Korra: I'm done being manipulated by you. You're going to bring my father back, then you and your troops will return to the North.
She Turns away as Zakai then puts a hand on Unalaq as Unalaq looks at him and notice his eyes are Red before stopping Korra.
Unalaq: And why would I do that?
Korra: Because you still need me to open the Northern portal.
Unalaq: No, I don't. Zakai here will take care of it now. You've served your purpose.
An enraged Korra throws three fire blasts at her uncle, which Zakai neutralizes with Waterbending from Unalaq waterskin bag. As Zakai protect him and then throws an arc and a blast at Korra. Korra manages to stop the frozen arc, but is pushed off by the frozen blast. Mako assists Korra with a fire kick. Zakai manages to dodge the kick and pushes Mako off with a Air blast to the face. Unalaq then joins the fight by throwing a water blast at his niece, but she manages to catch the blast and pushes Zakai and him against the wall with an air blast.
Mako: If we get to Varrick's boat, we can still save your father.
Korra: Let's go.
Zakai then stands up and was prepared to go after them when Unalaq stops him.
Unalaq: Wait. Let them go.
Zakai looks at him but otherwise listens as he then helps Unalaq up on his feet and Team Avatar exits the prison, while Unalaq and Zakai looks on.
Meanwhile with Team Avatar
Cut to the Southern Tribe city, where Bolin is "guiding" Ping-Ping with a leash, while Pabu sits on the platypus bear. They are subsequently stopped by a solider. Cut to Varrick's point of view, as he opens Ping-Ping's mouth.
Northern soldierYou have a license for that animal?
Bolin: [Nervously.] Uh, you fellas seen a traveling circus come through here?
Varrick: [Whispers.] Zhu Li, do the thing.
Ping-Ping lifts its tail and yuans drop out from it.
Excited man: That platypus bear is pooping money!
The passers-by pick up the yuans, while Bolin and Ping-Ping rush into Varrick's yacht. (Pretty disgusting but if you could poop money we would be rich though.) Varrick, still in his disguise, starts operating the yacht. Korra, Mako and Asami enter the yacht.
Bolin: Where's your dad?
Korra: On a ship headed north. Think we can catch up to it?
Varrick: Sure, once you get us past our friends from the North.
The scene zooms out to reveal Northern battleships forming a naval blockage.
Korra: If only we had a plane to get me close to those ships. I could waterbend them out of the way.
Varrick: A plane? Well, why didn't you say so?
Varrick presses a button, causing a biplane to emerge from a hatch. The wings unfold.
Mako: Um, why do you have a plane on your boat?
Varrick: In case the boat sinks, of course.
Asami: But there's no runway. How are we supposed to take off?
Varrick: Zhu Li! Take a note: "Build runway".
Zhu Li: [Muffled.] Yes, sir.
Korra: I have an idea.
Cut to the biplane, the engine of which starts stirring. Asami, in her pilot outfit, puts on her goggles, while Korra and Mako take up position on the plane's wings. Korra gives Asami a thumbs up and Asami starts operating the biplane, which starts moving forward.
Korra: Now!
Korra and Mako firebend to provide a boost for the biplane to take off successfully. Cut to the biplane and the yacht approaching the blockade. Cut to Korra, who enters the Avatar State and waterbends a gigantic wave, pushing the battleships out of the way, leaving a gap for the yacht to escape. Korra exits the state and smiles. Cut to the helmsman, who spots Varrick's yacht and notices Bolin hugging a platypus bear, which is operating the boat.
Helmsman: Captain, you'll never gonna believe this.
Cut to the biplane and the yacht successfully escaping the blockade. Cut to Korra on the biplane on a lookout in the vast sea. She notices a ship.
Korra: There! My dad's on that ship!
The biplane flies to the ship. As it approaches, the battleship crew members look up at the fast approaching biplane.
Korra: Jump!
Korra, Asami and Mako depart the biplane. The biplane continues its course before crashing on the sides of the battleship before exploding. Cut to the troops looking at the explosion. Cut to underwater, where Korra, Asami and Mako swim to the surface before entering the battleship via a waterspout. On landing, Korra uses her two water whips to throw the distracted crew members overboard. A stray crew member tries to escape to the door, but Korra freezes him against a wall.
Korra: Where are the prisoners?
The crew member looks off in fear. Cut to the side of the battleship, where Tonraq and the rebels are escaping.
Tonraq: Korra, this is crazy. You promised me you wouldn't do anything rash.
Korra: I had to. I'll explain later.
Northern troops attack the rebels with waterbending, but Korra and Mako neutralize it with firebending. Varrick's yacht approaches and everyone jumps on board. Korra throws a final fire blast before the yacht departs.
The Southern Air Temple
Cut to the Southern Air Temple, where Tenzin and Ikki return to the family.
Pema: Sweetie! [Walks quickly forward.] You're okay! Oh! [Hugs Ikki.] I was so worried!
Pema then Casts a look over her shoulder to Jinora and Meelo.
Pema: Do you have something you wanna say to your sister?
Meelo: Ikki, I'm glad you're back.
Jinora: Yeah, sorry we made fun of you.
Ikki: Thanks. Wanna play airball?
Jinora: Sure!
Meelo: Yeah!
Then the air Siblings then run away as Tenzin walks to his.
Tenzin: [Walks to his siblings.] I wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday. I've worked so hard to celebrate Dad's legacy that I may have overlooked the parts of him that were less than ideal.
Kya: And we're sorry for dumping our frustrations with Dad out on you.
Bumi: Yeah, you didn't deserve that.
Kya: I thought you two might wanna see this. [Shows family photo.] Mom gave it to me before we left.
Bumi: That is one good-looking family, huh?
Tenzin: That's one happy family. [The three siblings smile with pride.]
On Varricks Yachts
Cut back to Varrick's yacht, where Korra and the rebels are standing on the hatch.
Korra: So once I knew the truth, I couldn't sit by and do nothing.
Tonraq: [Saddened.] My own brother betrayed me. And our entire tribe.
Rebel leader: What's our next move?
Tonraq: I've been running from my past for too long. It's time to put my brother in his place.
Rebel leader: You have our support, Chief Tonraq. [Rebels put their fist to their heart.]
Korra: [Puts her fist to her heart.] Mine too. I'll be proud to fight alongside you, Dad.
Tonraq: No, Korra.
Korra: [Eyes widen with disappointment.] But you said the South doesn't stand a change against Unalaq's forces. I can help. [The camera pans slowly around the two of them as they talk, flanked by Tonraq's men.]
Tonraq: The best way for you to help is by getting the president of the United Republic on our side. The South can give Unalaq a good fight for a while. But we'll need the United Forces in order to win this war.
Korra: [Glances down sadly before looking up at Tonraq; determined.] All right, I'll get you all the help you need. I love you, Dad. [Hugs her father.]
Tonraq: I love you, too.
The South Pole
Tonraq and the rebels return to mainland via an ice raft. Tonraq looks on at the yacht. Cut to Team Avatar in the yacht.
Bolin: I really need to thank you, Korra.
Korra: For what? I started a civil war.
Bolin: Exactly! Now Eska and I are officially broken up.
Varrick: Oh, looks like we have company! And not the fun kind!
Soon everyone looks to the horizon, where there is a gigantic wave.
Mako: What is that?
Bolin takes the telescope from Varrick to take a better look. He gasps before rubbing his eyes for a second look. Cuts to Bolin's view, where he sees an enraged Eska with smudged make-up rushing toward them with waterbending.
Bolin: That would be my darling Eska. Quick question: is this thing fast enough to get away from my crazy waterbending ex-girlfriend?
Varrick: Why do you think I built this boat?
Cut to the yacht speeding away to the horizon and quickly away from the scary Ex-girlfriend.
A/N: Zakai betrayed everyone he cared for. As it seemes now Zakai and Unalaq are working together. What has happened to him that made him go down a dark path? Find out in the next chapter: "Peacekeepers"
