Link and Jinora standing on top of the tall stone pillars, both smiled at each other, as the other stood below Tenzin, Meelo, Iikki, and Lucy looking up.
"Now time you two can see stood the longest, begin!" Tenzin shouted
"Yes master." Lincoln said as Jinora nodded in agreement.
Suddenly Jinora started to lose balance and fall down.
"WHOA!" Jinora said.
Lincoln flew down and caught Jinora, carrying her bridal style. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Jinora said blushing.
Suddenly Korra came in looking frustrated.
"Hi Korra, how's practice?" Lucy asked
"Apparently we have to pay thirty thousand yuans for the championship pot or we're out of the tournament." Korra said.
"What?! That's crazy." Lincoln said coming down and letting go of Jinora.
"Is there anything you can do Tenzin?" Lucy asked
"Is not our nomad's problem Lucy," Tenzin answered
"Perhaps Korra could work at the dancing dragon for awhile." Lincoln said.
"Well my father always told me that despite me being the avatar I got to make a honest living." Korra said
"You should tell Mako and Bolin needed a place to stay," Jinora replied.
"They're fine staying at the arena." Korra said.
"Are sure they not lying," Link said looking at Korra. "If out of the tournament, means out of the arena,"
"Mako is getting a job at the power plant." Korra said.
"Not enough get pay rent, I worried about Bolin," Lucy said looking down. "The way he is might do something foolish,"
"Lucy I'm sure Bolin Is fine." Lincoln said.
Bolin, whose look changes to a determined one as he glances to the side. In Central City Station. The scene pans down Fire Lord Zuko's statue to reveal someone sitting at its base while people are passing him by. He is wearing a flashy jacket and a fake mustache, while Pabu is standing on a little can, wearing a bright lime green jacket. He excitedly speaks to the passersby while making wide motions with his arms. "Come one, come all. To see Pabu the fantastic fire ferret as he crosses the Ladder of Peril," He gasps; and whispers dramatically. "Upside down!"
Pabu continues to clean himself by licking his paws. "Psst, psst." The moment Bolin signals Pabu, the ferret jumps on the plank and starts walking across it on his front paws. Bolin softly cheers him on. "Big finish, buddy. Stick the landing." Pabu flips off and lands on one front paw.
"Ta da!" Someone throws a coin in Bolin's cup. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen! You are too kind! Seriously, too kind! You can come back here and put money right in this-" Shakes his cup, and his excitement vanishes as he hears that there is little money inside it." Okay, that's fine, that's fine." The single coin that is in the canister. "One yuan down, 29,999 to go."
3m ago"Hey, Bolin. Is that you?"
Bolin is dejected. "Oh, hey there, Shady Shin."
Shady Shin gets out of his car and walks toward Bolin. 'Heard you're a big-time pro-bending player now. Not bad."
Bolin scratches his head. "Uh, thanks."
Shady Shin looked at him. "So listen. I got an offer for ya. Lightning Bolt Zolt is lookin' to hire some extra muscle."
Bolin is unsure of that offer. "Uh, I don't know, Shin. Mako told me to stay away from the Triple Threats."
Shady Shin mildly irritably. "Pfuh, your brother ain't the boss of you." He made a sly smile. "It's just a little security work. Nothin' crooked."
Shady Shin reaches into his pocket, takes out a wad of cash, and tosses it into Bolin's cup. Inside the can shows Bolin staring at the money with wide eyes and gasps in awe. He shakes his head and gasps even louder, while nearly sticking his head in the can.
Shady Shin frontal shot; smiling confidently. "You game?"
/
Someone generating lightning, switching to a broader site shot reveals that at least six fire benders are standing next to each other and generating lightning to shoot at the coil in front of them. A bender when a construction whistle goes off. The person takes off his mask and reveals himself to be Mako. He sighs and wipes his forehead. 'Hope Bolin not doing anything foolish, time to go home,'
/
The Pro-bending Arena in the evening. The arena's attic serves as Mako and Bolin's home, as Mako comes up a stair and enters the room.
Mako was carrying a bag, called out to his brother. "Bo, I'm back!" Lift the bag. "Picked up your favorite dumplings!"
Mako sags down exhaustedly on the couch as he spoke. "Hey, I found some work down at the power plant." He reaches inside the bag. "Made some decent money." Then eats a dumpling, looks down at the empty apartment; and calls with his mouth still full. "Bolin?" Then he wondered what was taking Bolin so long. "You here, bro?"
He glances around, he looks over his shoulder, his point of view shows that he is looking out the window at Air Temple Island, and is a bit amused. "Huh, I bet the little lovebird is making a house call."
Mako stands up and walks toward the stairs he just climbed up.
/
At air temple island Lincoln was feeding his red wing lemur ruby when Jinora approached him.
"Oh hey Jinora." Lincoln said.
Jinora ribs her head. "Lincoln, can we hang out together?"
"Sure." Lincoln said.
"I just want to say thanks for saving me from falling today." Jinora said blushing.
Lincoln smiled at her. "No problem, you welcome me first when I first came to Air Temple."
Jinora smiled small, and both walked side by side chanting to each other.
Meanwhile lucy was watching Korra train with ikki.
"Korra has improved." Lucy said.
"Oh yeah, she passed through the gate without touching them," IKiki replied
Lucy then noticed Mako approaching.
"Korra Mako is here." Lucy said.
Lucy spotted the fire bender, the two airbender sisters smiled at her before suddenly leaning a bit to their left to look behind her. The scene switches to show that Mako is approaching.
Jinora smiles at this. "Ooh, he's cute. Korra, is that the handsome firebender boy that drives you crazy?" [kki jumps next to Jinora to have a better view.
Korra was still bent over and panting with Mako approaching behind her. She looks wide-eyed at the girls, glances back, and sees Mako.
Ikki spoke. "Does he drive you crazy in a bad way, or does he drive you crazy like you like him?"
Korra glares at her and Jinora with embarrassment; she quickly raises the earth underneath the sisters, catapulting them into the air. Mako pulls up to her, so she turns to face him and clears her throat. Switch to a frontal shot of Korra as a giggling Jinora and Ikki softly land behind her using airbending. Korra tries to act cool. "Ahem. Oh. Hey, Mako."
Mako looked at her. "Have you seen Bolin?
Korra in sarcastically. "Nice to see you, too." Pauses for a moment while glancing to the side "And no...I haven't seen him since practice. Think something's wrong?"
Mako shakes head. "I don't know...Bolin has a knack for getting into stupid situations. He sighed as looked at them. "See you later."
Korra briefly glances down, but quickly raises her hand as she calls after Mako.
Lucy spoke up. "Maybe we can help, Bolin is always nice to us, so why not we can help you find him,"
Mako raises his hand to brush them off. "Nah. I got it."
Korra grabs his arms; gently. "Hey, cool guy, let me help you. We can take Naga."
Mako turns to intrigued. "Who's Naga?"
Korra proudly points to herself. "My best friend. And a great tracker."
Lucy turns to both girls. "Pretty sure she trying so hard,"
"Yup/Totally," They said as Lincoln floated down the front of them.
"We join them," Lincoln turns to Jinora. "Cute huh?"
Jinora nervously. "Oh well, you see...oh..."
/
Mako and Korra ride on Naga through the streets of Republic City at night while Link flies with Lucy on his back, searching in the sky.
Mako looked down. "Your best friend is a...polar bear dog, somehow, that makes perfect sense."
Korra looked at him. "I'll take that as a compliment, city boy."
They both smile while Lincoln and Lucy secretly watch this from the sky, at the Fire Lord Zuko holding up a flame. Naga pulled up at the base of the statue, Mako and Korra as they looked around. Load of several citizens chatting and hanging out on the square, all of them come together.
Mako looked at this. "Well, this is his usual hangout." Gets off Naga and walks up to some street kids pushing each other around and laughing. "You guys seen my brother around here today?"
Skoochy looked at them. "Perhaps. My memory's a little ..."foggy". Leans closer while casually rubbing his nose. "Maybe you can help "clear it up"."
Both Korra and Mako were about to do something but Lincoln spoke in deadpan. "Huh, Lucy?"
Lucy held up her hand, and created an ice blade, targeting them. "Answered our question or you guys needed a healer,"
The kids get scared of the goth one. "He doing some rat monkey circus here and then..." He leaned in and spoke. "Shady Shin showed up and flashed some serious cash."
That makes a worried-looking Mako. "Bo took off with him in his hot rod. [Cut back to Skoochy. "The Triple Threats? The Red Monsoons? The Agni Kais? All the triads are muscling up for something really big. Now that's all you're getting outta me!"
Skoochy promptly turns around and runs off. Broad frontal shot of Mako and Korra, as Skoochy's friends pass the scene, running after him as they run from the scary goth.
Korra looked at Mako. "What's he talking about?"
Mako glanced over his shoulder at Korra. "Sounds like there's a turf war brewing." He is more serious; looking forward again. "And Bolin's about to get caught right in the middle of it."
Several trolleys ride by, and as they pass, Naga is revealed, carrying Korra and Mako on her back, while Lincoln and Lucy follow them, who had been waiting to go on.
Korra talked while riding. "So where are we headed?"
Mako shouted as Naga ran toward a bridge over a river. "The Triple Threat Triad's headquarters. Hopefully, Bolin's there, and nothing's gone down yet."
Korra looks back at Mako. "The Triple Threat Triad? I beat up some of those yahoos when I got into town. Why would Bolin get tangled up wit-" The rest of Korra's sentence is cut off when Naga suddenly shoots forward. The polar bear dog dashes through the street, taking a sharp right turn in pursuit of a running fire ferret. "Whoa, Naga!"
Lucy was shocked to see a fire ferret. "It's that..."
Lincoln shouted. "Follow Pabu!"
Korra pulls the reins to halt her mount, to no avail. Naga turns around the corner of a building, the ferret waiting for them. The fire ferret runs down a street and climbs a street light as Naga approaches.
Mako, the fire fetter perches itself on a street sign. "It's is Pabu,"
Korra pulled on the reins. "No, Naga! Pabu's a friend, not a snack."
Naga calms down and starts panting, her tongue out of her mouth. Pabu who has slid down the pole, and brings his nose forward to touch Naga's, before jumping on her head and running down her back to climb onto Mako's shoulder, who briefly smiles at the animal.
Mako looked at this. "We gotta hurry."
The foggy sky, the full moon hidden behind three slim clouds. The shot pans down; Korra, Mako, Lincoln, Lucy, and the animals are standing outside the Triple Threat Triad headquarters.
Mako looked at this. "Something's not right." He approaches the door cautiously with Pabu still on his shoulders. "They're usually thugs posted out front. We better be cautious."
He presses his back against the doorpost and peers into the door window while signaling to Korra that it is safe to come up. As he slinks back into the shadows, Korra casually strolls toward the door, Lincoln holds his staff while Lucy holds up her water, forsaking any sneaking up. The front door and the double doors are being kicked out of their hinges by Korra. The small party enters the empty room, looking around. The building is strangely empty and the furniture is broken.
Mako looked around and whispered. "Bolin? You in here?"
Lincoln looked at the back. "GUYS!"
A truck's engine roars outside and Korra and Mako promptly run out the back. As they crash through the door, they're just in time to witness a truck and five motorcycles drive off. The back of the truck, its doors still open. In a moment, Bolin and Shady Shin, both tied down and gagged, sitting inside the truck. A masked individual closes the doors. a shocked-looking Mako and Korra who run after the strangers even Lincoln and Lucy saw what's in the truck.
Mako shouted the best as he could. "Bolin!"
"Let's get them!" Lincoln said.
Just as Lincoln, Lucy, Mako, and Korra run after the vehicles, two masked figures on motorcycles pull out smoke grenades and toss them at the incoming four, Lincoln holds up his staff and makes a swing with a small fan on the tip cause the grenades fly up in the sky. The grenades explode with a bright flash and produce thick, heavy, green smoke, effectively halting their pursuit for some seconds. The masked figures take notice of the grenade effects and drive off with screeching tires. They quickly pull away and turn a corner, smoke in their trail. All of them looked through the small smoke trail.
Korra glared at front. "Naga, come!"
Korra starts running in the direction the motorcyclists took off in, Naga races as she passes, and Mako starts to run after them as well. The adjacent street Naga with Korra and Mako on top comes dashing out of the smoke-filled alley, Lincoln and Lucy going down with them. While moving along with Naga's strides, and cut to a still shot as the truck they're chasing drives off into the distance, the motorcyclists in tow. The truck and its pursuing party, Lincoln, Lucy, Korra, and Mako, the latter sending a fire blast at the masked motorcyclists, who swerve to avoid it. Korra as she brings up her arms, before following the cracks in the earth her earthbending move has produced. A motorcyclist, avoids the first big crack, before being catapulted into the air by an earth ramp created by Korra. The rider lands safely and continues to follow the rest of the escaping party. They dash out of the alley and swarm into an open square. The two of the motorcyclists fall back, one swerving to the left and the other bringing her motor to a spinning halt while throwing a bola at the incoming Naga. Lucy created a water whip that hits the bola to make it get out of Naga's way.
"Nice one Lucy!" Korra shouted as
They look up and the scene switches to the two masked motorcyclists, who elegantly twist in the air to land on opposite sides of Mako and Korra to fight them, who at this point, have gotten up. The female rider wastes no time and runs for Korra, who ignites her right fist and sends a large fire blast at the incoming attacker. The female as she elegantly avoids the blast by jumping over it, twisting several times in the air, and continues her run for the Avatar. She initiates a hand-to-hand combat with Korra, the chi-blocker aims for Korra's head, but the Avatar averts the course with her left hand.
'Guess her style is useful,' Lincoln thought
She retaliates with a fire blast, which her opponent ducks under. The Avatar throws another fire punch with her left hand, but the chi-blocker leans back to dodge it, knocking Korra's hand to the side. Korra uses her sideways moment to spin around in a full moon fire kick, though the masked fighter evades the blast by moving to her left. Korra aims a high-fire kick at the chi-blocker's head, who reciprocates that move and curls her leg around the Avatar's and pulls it down, creating an unguarded opening to Korra's right side. She delivers about four punches to the Avatar's side and arm and backs away. Frontal shot as Korra staggers with a grunt, as her right side has gone numb.
Mako looked at this. "What's that?"
Lucy sees this and is shocked. "That's chi blocking!"
She grabs hold of her right arm with her left one, her eyes big in wonder about what just happened to her. Korra's look changes to one of determination, the two as Korra madly charges the masked female with her left hand ablaze. The masked woman avoids the blast, flips over a low-aimed fire arc, and jumps to avoid a fire blast aimed at her feet. At the back, encircling the fighters, while the two women run toward each other. As the camera turns, glimpses of Mako and his opponent pass the r*. Korra aims two more fire blasts at her attacker, but to no avail as she dodges.
Mako, spins into view, grunting in pain as he finds his right arm immobilized. He briefly clutches it, but quickly focuses again on his male attacker, who comes at him again. Mako as he aims a wide fire-fueled swing at his opponent, who easily ducks under it, twirls behind Mako's back, and quickly delivers several punches to his unguarded left side. Korra's side receives the same quick punches to her left side. Korra's attacker jumps up and kicks the staggering Avatar back with two feet to the chest. As Korra falls backward, to a back-shot of Mako who is also being flung backward. He lands roughly on the ground with a heavy thud and a groan; Korra lands right before him with a similar grunt of pain.
Lincoln and Lucy do a little teamwork; the boy does staff style sending two females away as making a twirl so fast makes a living tornado. Lucy makes use of the water from fountains to create large water whips, she is thankful her brother blocks many attacks that come at her, and she uses water blasts left and right to the enemies.
A scared-looking Mako and wondering Korra, before cutting to the female masked rider, who is approaching them while twirling her bola around her menacingly. A reveals her male counterpart performing the same action, of a wide-eyed Korra, before switching back to their incoming aggressors. As one of the masked figures prepares to throw the bola, his concentration is broken by a loud growl and he looks to his right. Naga jumps up through the air, teeth bare and growling. The enemy widens to show how the polar bear dog drives off the attackers from her owner and friends. Naga as she growls viciously. Pabu jumps off her back, and runs before her, following Naga's example and squeaking at the attackers. Both rides briefly eye each other before jumping up, hurling more smoke grenades to cover their exit. They both ride out of the smoke on their motorcycles.
Lincoln, Lucy, Korra, and Mako as they slowly push themselves up. Pabu crawls up Mako's leg and onto his shoulder while Korra drapes her arm around Naga's head and allows her pet to pull her to her feet. Lincoln holds onto Lucy to keep her safe, then Korra as she curiously eyes her hands, and raises her arms, punching out in an attempt to bend.
Korra sees her bending won't work. "Ugh, I can't bend." Tries again; desperately and slightly panicking. "I can't bend!"
Lucy looked at her. "Calm down, it'll wear off." Korra turns to a calm, but stern-looking Mako. "Those guys were chi-blockers, experts stealing benders bending."
Mako pulls his right glove tighter. "They're Amon's henchmen."
"That anti bending mask man?" Lucy asked.
Korra looked. "Amon, right?"
Mako looked at them. "Yeah, he's the leader of the Equalists."
Korra realized. "What do they want with the Triple Threats?"
Mako a sigh. "Whatever it is," stares off in the direction the Equalists took off. "can't be good..." touches his forehead; frustrated. "Urgh, can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!" He crosses his arms in frustration.
Lincoln looked at him. "Look, Bolin tries to help you, in a way that causes something so...this,"
Korra looked at Mako and put her hand on his shoulder. "We are going to save your brother." She made a close-up of Mako. "I promise you that."
Korra and Mako ride on Naga through another street of the City in search of Bolin. They are in the vicinity of a deserted bridge, and Naga walks up to a lit trolley station. Naga walking through another street, vanishing in the fog. Switch to a side shot of the duo atop Naga, who is panting heavily, even though both Lincoln and Lucy grow tired and sleepy.
Korra looks tired. "We've been out all night." Naga stops. "No sign of him."
Mako even grew tired, Pabu is asleep on his neck."We've gotta keep looking. But where?"
They both turn in another direction, eyes closed in disappointment. Suddenly, Korra erects herself and her eyes spring open. "Huh!" Determinedly turns to others. "I have an idea!"
With a determined look on her face, she pulls Naga's reins and they start moving again.
/
Fade to an overview shot of Republic City Park, covered in morning fog. They pull up at a fountain, and the shot switches to a close side-view of Naga as she bends over to drink. Pabu climbs on top of Naga's head and takes a drink, too. Cut to a frontal shot of Korra and Mako who are sitting by the fountain; Mako has his eyes closed, and Lincoln and Lucy sleeping back to back.
Korra only deadpan. "The first day I got into town, I ran into an Equalist protester." She points to the target. "Look, over there."
Mako opens his eyes and turns to Korra. "And you think they'll know where Bolin is?"
Korra is slightly disappointed. "It's our only lead right now."
Korra, Lincoln, Lucy, and Mako are sitting with their backs against Naga's side; the polar bear dog is resting underneath a tree at the side of the fountain. Pabu is asleep atop Naga's saddle, Mako has his eyes closed and arms crossed, and Korra is looking around, slightly uncomfortable. Eventually, she turns to them.
Korra side shot; unsure about the brothers. So, why is Bolin running around with the Triple Threat Triad, anyway?"
Mako is uncomfortable; evasively. "Well, we ... we used to do some work for them back in the day."
Lucy is shocked. "Excuse me?!"
Korra dismayed look on her face. "What? Wha- Are you some kind of criminal?"
"Yeah why would you work for the triad?" Lincoln asked.
Mako looked at them. "You don't know what you're talking about. I just ran numbers for them and stuff. We were orphans out on the street; I did what I had to do to survive and protect my little brother."
Lucy looked down. "I'm sorry. It must have been really hard."
Korra asked carefully. "Can I ask what happened to your parents?"
Mako sighs looked up at the sky. "They were mugged, by a firebender. He cut them down right in front of me. I was eight."
Korra spots Mako and pulls his scarf over his mouth. "Mako..."
Mako made a frown when the scarf went down. "Bolin's the only family I have left. If anything happened to him..."
Lincoln looked at him with a smile. "We will found him,"
"Yeah." Lucy said reassuringly.
Mako smiled at that.
The next morning everyone was asleep and were woken up by a protester speaking.
He shouted. "Nonbenders of Republic City ...
Mako and Korra, showing the protester in the distance; pointing to him. "That's the guy."
The protester stopped as he shouted. "Amon calls you to action! Take back your city! It's time for the..." He gasps as Korra walks up to the podium, a close-up of Korra's determined and unamused expression. Mako and Korra, pull up at the table on which the protester stands, with a frightened civilian sitting next to him, not using the megaphone. "It's you again!" then speaking into the megaphone and pointing at Korra. "You cannot silence me, Avatar!"
Korra promptly swats away the megaphone under a squeal of the protester.
Korra glares at the protester while clenching his fists. "Shut your yapper and listen up. My friend got kidnapped by some chi-blockers. Where'd they take him?"
The protester uncooperatively crossed his arms. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Korra looked at him threateningly. "Oh, I think you do."
/
Korra lifts her leg and slams it down with a half-moon kick. The earth underneath the table rises, catapulting it into the air and throwing the protester off. Shot to a ground view of the airborne table that flips in the air. Leaflets with a picture of Amon are thrown off and rain down upon the area. The leaflets fall upon everyone, the protester and his friend still lying on the ground. The protester as he starts to pick up the leaflets, has a dismayed look on his face. Mako grabbed one of the papers out of the air and examined it.
Mako Panning up shot of the leaflet. "Witness the Revelation tonight, nine o'clock,". Turning to the protester. "What's this "Revelation"?
The Protester irritably. "Nothing that concerns the likes of you two!"
The protester squeals as Korra grabs the hem of his shirt and pulls him up. She spoke. "You better believe it concerns us. Spill it."
The Protester were frightened. "No one knows what the Revelation is! And I have no idea what happened to your friend." Then arrogantly. "But if he's a bender, then my bet is he's getting what's coming to him."
Lincoln looked at him. "You wanna her send to the ocean?"
The Protester sequel in front. "Mother,"
Mako [Slight air view.] Where's it happening?
At the sound of a whistle, Mako and Korra turn to their left. They turn around and reveal a policeman, running toward them, while blowing his whistle again.
The policeman sees this and shouts. "Hey! What's going on over there?"
Protester pointed at them. "The Avatar's oppressing us. Help!"
Korra tossed the protester away. "Let's scram!"
They run off, but Mako quickly snatches up a handful of leaflets before vaulting on Naga; Korra was already perched upon the animal, with Pabu sitting in front of her. As soon as Mako's on, Naga takes off while Lincoln begins to fly with Lucy.
/
Mako and Korra sitting on a bench while Lincoln and Lucy sitting on the ground, underneath the bridge. Korra holds one of the leaflets, while they're both looking at several others spread out over the floor. There hangs a map of the city next to Korra on the wall.
"Wherever this event is I bet that's where they have Bolin." Lincoln said.
Suddenly Lucy's stomach growled.
We should probably get some food before the event," Lucy said little embarrassed.
"We should probably get some food before the event," Lucy said little embarrassed.
Lincoln sighed as looked at them. "Well, one place to fill our stomach,"
/
They entered the dancing dragon, Mako little impressed by this restaurant, and the smell of the food was good.
"Dad we're here." Lincoln said as Lana and Lynn came up.
"No way! Mako?!" Lynn said noticing the fire bender.
"Oh, Lynn is fan of yours Mako," Lucy state looks at her sister who rushed to Mako.
"Ok." Mako said as Lincoln hold Lynn back.
"Lynn nows not the time." Lincoln said.
"Come on, just needed some questions answer," Lynn whined
"No, we're starving," Korra state
"Plus we got some important work to do later." Lincoln said.
"What is it?" Lana asked hugging pabu.
"We trying to find Bolin," Lincoln answered
"We believe Amon is planning to do something to him tonight at a rally." Korra said.
"Dudes that sounds dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this?" Luna asked.
"We make we're careful, not make a single mistake," Lincoln said
Later that night the group arrived at a warehouse and saw a lot of non benders.
"Wow the equalists have a lot more supporters than we thought." Lincoln said holding Lucy close.
Some people just don't know what life about," Lucy annoyed
Suddenly they saw Amon rising from the platform.
"Gasp his aura is more evil than I thought." Lucy said
Amon emerges from a trapdoor in the stage with a line of Equalists behind him under loud approving cheers of the crowd. A spotlight is turned on, illuminating the Equalist leader.
Korra's eyes him slightly shocked, and back to Amon as he walks up to the microphone, the people still cheering loudly for him.
Amon looked at the audience. "My quest for equality began many years ago." He takes the microphone out of his stander. "When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich, and none of us were benders." He of the listening crowd. "This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father."
Amon as he walks to the right on the stage. "One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did, that firebender took my family from me. Then, he took my face." The crowd gasps in astonishment; a very close shot of the mask he wears. "I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since."
All of them exchange a glance; and cut back to Amon. "As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City."
Korra and Mako as the crowd boos; Korra hides her face in Mako's red scarf that she's wearing. "And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world. But, she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world is suffering." It has been the cause of every war in every era." In the audience, Korra grits her teeth in anger. "But that is about to change."
They look surprised; cut to a back-shot of Amon. "I know you have been wondering, "What is the Revelation? You are about to get your answer."
Lincoln, Lucy, Korra, and Mako exchange a worried glance. "Since the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me. They say the Avatar has failed humanity."
Korra sports a look of anger again; and cuts back to Amon. "That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power..." They exchange a glance and Korra nods. "...that will make Equality a reality. The power to take a person's bending away...Permanently."
."What?!" Lincoln said in shock now holding Lucy closer to him.
"He can't do that right?" Lucy asked.
Mako glared deeply. "This guy's insane!"
Amon looked at her. "Now, for a demonstration. Please welcome, Lightning Bolt Zolt."
An Equalist guard leads the tied-up man onto the stage; a frontal shot of the hostages.
"Leader of the Triple Threat Triad, and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City."
Lincoln knows that guy. "He almost shoots his lightning at me when flying in the sky, but I dodge it quickly."
The crowd boos, making Lightning Bolt Zolt angry, looked to the crowd; annoyed. "Ah, boo yourself!"
Equalist guards lead four more tied-up benders onto the stage, forcing them to their knees, Bolin being the last of them. Bolin is anxiously looking around with a scared expression, the gang having horrified looks on their faces.
Korra looked at the stand. "There's Bolin."
Korra determinedly starts walking to the front but is pulled back by Mako and Lincoln.
Mako talks to her. "Wait, we can't fight them all. We need to be smart about this."
Korra looked at him. "Then come up with a game plan, team captain," in a harsh tone.
"Looked, something happening," Lucy spoke pointing down.
Amon spoke to the entire stage. "Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing nonbenders. But his reign of terror is about to come to an end." Now, in the interest of fairness," The Lieutenant takes off the rope-binding Lightning Bolt Zolt. "I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending."
Amon moves away from Zolt and the Equalist guard pushes Zolt in the opposite direction Amon took to bring some space between the two fighters.
Lightning Bolt Zolt spoke arrogantly. "You're gonna regret doing that, pal."
Lightning Bolt Zolt immediately directs a fire blast at Amon. He as Amon nimbly dodges every blast that Zolt throws at him, gradually coming closer. Amon dodges the rounds of fire blasts and switches to a Zolt who surges forward while generating lightning. He fires the bolt at the Equalist leader who ducks underneath it, grabs hold of Zolt's wrist, and twists it around and away from him. The lighting crashes into the stage, before hitting the ceiling as Amon turns his hands further away. Zolt as his neck is being grabbed by Amon's hand. The two men, lightning still shooting out of Zolt's fingers, as Amon moves his hand from Zolt's wrist to his forehead. Zolt's forehead as Amon places his thumb in the center; Zolt's face is contorted in fear. Korra and Mako as they watch the scene on stage, basking in an eerie blue light, emanating from the lighting charge. Zolt's right eye, Amon's reflection is visible in the pupil. The crackling lightning changes into a large fire blast, and stops entirely. The two men of Amon let go of Zolt, who collapses weakly onto the ground. Amon takes a few steps back and Zolt attempts to firebrand at Amon to no avail; he crashes back to the ground before the feet of the Equalist leader. The crowd gasps even the gang is shocked.
Lightning Bolt Zolt is saddened and shocked while looking at Amon. "Wha ... what did you do to me?"
Lincoln and Lucy are in shock.
"This can't be." Lincoln said in fear.
"His bending..." Korra replied seeing the thug going down.
Amon looked down on him. "Your firebending is gone. Forever."
The audience gasps as Amon looks at them. "The era of bending is over. A new era of Equality has begun!"
The crowd cheers madly, and the other captured benders, one of the Equalist guards releases the second captured bender, Shady Shin, and kicks him forward to face Amon. "Ugh, no!"
"We have to get Bolin out of there!" Lincoln said.
"I think of an idea, see those machines?" Lincoln states Looking toward the machines on the walls; voice-over. "They're powered by water and steam. If you create some cover, Mako can grab Bolin." Look at the teenagers. "Without anyone seeing. Then, we duck out of here,"
Korra smiled at the boy. "Works for me...the man of the plan," He taps Mako on the shoulder as he moves to walk away. "Mako, good luck." They shake hands.
Mako shook her hand. "You, too."
Korra emerges at the side of the pleased crowd, carefully moving through one of the side exits. She ran through a hallway filled with machines. She and Lucy stop; Korra turns a big red wheel on the machine. With a grunt of effort from Korra, the wheel turns, releasing one small air leak.
Korra whispers to Lucy. It's not enough.
She bends over and squats down, turning a small red wheel, causing another minor air leak.
The doorman spots them. "Hey, you two!"
Korra stands up to see the doorman approach her, his size filling up the entire hallway, blocking any possible exit in that direction.
Back at the meeting, Mako makes his way to the front of the crowd as Amon is taking away Shady Shin's bending. An earthbender and Bolin, eye each other in fright. The bender is grabbed by the collar and pulled to his feet. He gasps, and Bolin is left for last.
The doorman goes to them. "What you two doing here?"
Korra looked at him. "Uh ... looking for the bathroom?"
Korra cracks an innocent grin. The doorman as he takes out a wrench Korra's and Lucy's eyes, which have switched from a look of faked innocence to a look of focus. The wrench is twirled around in the doorman's hand, before switching to a broad shot of the hallway as the man attacks Korra. She nimbly ducks under his swing and evades his next attack, coming up behind him. He turns around and aims an overhead swing at her, but Korra evades it again, making him hit the pipes.
"So much for not getting caught." Lucy said.
/
Mako is in the crowd, watching Amon remove another bender's bending. He turns to his left, looking at where Korra and Lucy disappeared.
Mako is impatient. "Come on..."
Korra and Lucy duck underneath another violent swing of the doorman's wrench that hits the pipes instead, denting them...now hatless Korra takes off Mako's scarf and uses it to tie around the doorman's hand as he aims another swing at her. Wider shot as Korra used the scarf to pull the man into a turn, flinging his entire body into the machine, Lucy knocking off all the vents that were holding down the steam. Through three open pipes, steam pores out and fills the room. Ground, frontal shot as Korra looks at the steam.
Lucy smiled at Korra. "Nice one Korra,"
Korra lightheartedly. " Thanks. This should be enough."
/
A frightened Bolin as an Equalist guard moves toward him. As the Equalist starts to fumble at his ropes, Bolin anxiously looks back, whimpering softly. Once he is free, he is pulled on his feet and thrown forward. He stumbles forward on the stage while the bender Amon just took care of slumps down in exhaustion. Amon as he slowly turns around under the loud cheering of the crowd. Bolin, who has the fingertips of his hands pressed together as he addresses Amon.
Bolin is scared. "Uh, hello, Amon, sir." Attempts a goofy grin; switch to a back-shot of Bolin to show Amon. "I think there's been a big misunderstanding."
Amon moves forward and Bolin slightly backs up.
/
Korra and Lucy, water bending the steam behind her, a focused look on their face. The moment they have enough, she directs it all in front of her with a powerful swipe of her hand.
/
Bolin almost gets grabbed by Amon but...an explosion to his left makes him duck for cover; under screams of the crows, steam starts to pour into the meeting room. A shocked Bolin as he looks at what is going on. The room from behind the stage, steam engulfing everything in its path, clouding everyone and everything, all thanks to Lincoln twirling his staff. Several civilians backed up from the incoming steam, turning around and making a break for it. Amon standing amidst the steam; backs away, vanishing completely. Bolin, who is looking around him, has a focused look on his face. He slowly backs up but is grabbed from behind by an Equalist, much to Bolin's shock. Mako emerges out of the steam from behind the Equalist, grabs hold of him, and throws him away over his shoulder. The Equalist is flung far away from the brothers. Mako and Bolin as Mako turns to his brother.
Mako looked at his brother. "Bolin, you all right?"
Bolin shouted. "Yes!" Clasps his hands in relief, before extending them for a hug. "Mako! I love you!"
Bolin moves forward in an attempt to hug his brother, Mako seizes him around his neck and drags him off into the steam.

Outside the factory where a door is being flung open, scaring off several birds. The two brothers emerge from the balcony exit and run over to a ladder; switch to a ground shot as they start descending it, Bolin being the first. An aerial shot of the balcony shows another person emerging from the door and running over to the ladder. Mako looking up changes to a ground shot from his point of view to show an Equalist fighter, the Lieutenant, twirling his kali sticks and slamming them into the ladder, sending an electricity charge through it. Mako and Bolin scream in shock and pain and fall, landing with grunts. The Lieutenant jumps down from the balcony, his kali stick charged, and he lands and immediately releases the charge, forcing the brothers to jump away. First Bolin, followed by Mako, as they erect themselves, having pushed themselves out of the way of the Lieutenant's attack. Mako raises his fist and goes on the offensive, launching a fire jet at the crouched Lieutenant from his left fist. Frontal shot of the Equalist as he runs off to avoid the blast. He attacks Mako with his kali sticks, electricity trailing behind them as he rapidly swings them around. With a few fast hits, Mako is floored, and the Lieutenant turns to Bolin.
Bolin flips over and uses his momentum to hurl a slap of earth at the Lieutenant with a grunt of focus, who jumps up, twirling out of its path. He does a similar evasive maneuver to avoid the second block a grunting Bolin threw at him, before charging the earthbender. Frontal shot of an alarmed-looking Bolin; switch to a back-shot of him as he conjures up a large earth wall to protect himself. The Lieutenant performs a round-off, before back-flipping and somersaulting over Bolin's wall. He lands behind a shocked Bolin, who quickly turns to face him, and after delivering several quick hits with his charged kali sticks, the Lieutenant jabs him with the two electrified kali sticks and electroshocks him until he falls to the ground unconscious.
The Lieutenant looked down on them. "You benders need to understand, there's no place in the world for you anymore."
Then suddenly hearing a roar, looked up and saw Lincoln come down, slam down, and create a huge wind that sent the Lieutenant and his army far.
Lincoln shouted twirling his staff. "And you guys need to learn your place!"
"Way to go brother." Lucy said.
A pillar of rock shoots up beside the Lieutenant and thrusts him brutally against the building. He slams hard against the metal, his two Kali sticks are knocked out of his hands, and he falls onto the ground. As he tries to get up, the camera switches to his point of view to show Korra standing there in an earth-bending pose, Lucy lands, going to her brother.
Korra glared at them. "I wouldn't count us out just yet." The Lieutenant collapses; Korra whistles on her fingers. "Naga!"
Naga barks and immediately comes running from behind a building, jumping down the last of the ramp. Korra walks over to Mako as he struggles to get up and helps him to his feet. The alley as more Equalist fighters storm the area from the balcony. Korra and Mako ascend on to Naga. Bolin sits up, slightly dazed, though he screams in fright and moves his hands protectively before him as he looks up. Naga runs up, grabs Bolin with her teeth by his collar, and drags him off.
Bolin bounced along with Naga's strides. "Hah ... Oh ... Yah ... Stop ... I want ... to be ... on ... your back ... please!"
The Lieutenant wide shot as Naga runs off in the distance; kneeling and pointing at the escapees. "The Avatar. That's her!"
Several Equalists immediately run after them. The shot moves up, revealing Amon standing on the balcony, overlooking the situation, his hands folded casually behind his back.
Amon spoke to his army. "Let her go." The Equalist fighters stop; he puts his hands on the balcony railing. "She's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power."

Lincoln Lucy and Korra returned to the air temple where Tenzin Jinora and a couple of white lotus guards waited for them.
Jinora ran to Lincoln and hugged him.
"I was so worried for you." Jinora said.
Lincoln hugged back. "Thanks, I'm tired and hungry,"
Tenzin looked at them. "Thank goodness." Korra stops. "I was just about to send out a search party." Putting his hands on her shoulders. "Are you all right?" Korra turns away from him and shakes her head, grabbing her arms in concern. "Korra, what happened? Did you find your friend?"
Korra nodded. "Yes, but ..." spoke in a stronger voice. "I was at an Equalist rally" She turns to Tenzin. "We saw Amon."
Tenzin looked at her. "What?!"
Korra responds seriously. "He can take people's bending away. For good."
"He almost got Bolin." Lucy said.
"He trying to rid of world of benders," Lincoln responded
Jinora gasped at this.
"This is troubling." Tenzin said.
"What do we do?" Lucy asked.
Tenzin sighed and spoke to everyone. "I don't know how Amon has achieved this power, but this means the revolution is more dangerous than ever." Everyone turned to Korra and Tenzin who looked out at Republic City. Then everyone on a lit Republic City. "No bender is safe."
Lincoln thought holding Jinora's hand. 'Pretty sure no one be safe from him,'
