We're back on chapter thirteen.

REMINDER: I DO NOT OWN LEGEND OF KORRA OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS.

Back to the Southern Water Tribe, where Korra was riding back to her home. She enters and finds her mother seated.

"Did Dad send you to talk to me?"

"Your father doesn't know I'm here." Senna said before Korra sits beside her. "Korra, what's going on between you two?"

"Ask Dad."

"I've tried, but he won't talk about it. Honey, it breaks my heart to see our family being torn apart like this." Senna said.

"You want to know what's been going on? I found out Dad's been lying to me my whole life. Unalaq told me everything; how Dad and Tenzin kept me trapped down here while I trained; how Dad got banished from the North. And how evil my other uncle Sarlaq tried to overthrow my grandfather"

Senna gets upset. "So, the truth is out."

"You knew? And you never said anything." Korra said.

"We were trying to keep our family together, to give you a normal childhood." Senna said.

"Mom, I never wanted a normal childhood. All I ever wanted to be was the Avatar. But everyone keeps holding me back, even my own parents! Unalaq's the only one who believes in me."

"That's not true, Korra." said Senna.

"No? Then why is everyone in the South turning against me, when all I'm trying to do is help them?" Korra asked bluntly.

"The problems between the North and the South started long before you were born. You can't expect to undo them in a day."

"So I should just sit back and let the Water Tribes go to war?' Korra asked.

"No, but this situation might be out of your control. Varrick's been plotting a rebellion against Unalaq. He asked your father to join, and…"

Korra stands up and spoke: "Dad is part of a rebellion?"

"I don't know, but I don't want you getting caught in the middle of it." Senna said.

"It's too late, Mom. I'm already in the middle of it." Korra said before she leaves the house.

Senna runs out to door. "Korra! Wait!"

Later, at the interior of the palace, where Korra runs in.

"Uncle, Aunt Malina!" She stops, and notices Northern troops tied up and unconscious. "Oh, no. Uncle? Aunt Malina?"

She runs and stops at a corner and watches a masked rebel carrying an unconscious Unalaq and Malina while three others stand guard.

"Dad, don't do this." Korra begged.

"Turn around, Avatar, and pretend you didn't see anything."

"No. Leave Unalaq and Malina, and go. I'll tell him I tried to stop you, but you escaped. We can still avoid a war." Korra begged.

"No, we can't."

The rebel traps Korra within an ice wall while they escape. Korra punches a gap within her enclosure and pursues the rebels. While the rebels were running down a flight of stairs, Korra freezes the handrails and slides down in front of them.

"Get him out of here!"

The rebel leader runs away. Korra tries to follow, but was blocked by an ice wall.

"We're all part of the same tribe. I don't wanna hurt you!" Korra said.

The rebels prepare to attack Korra, but she dodges their offenses. Korra leaps up and grabs a banner while evade the rebel's offenses. She runs up a pillar and tosses the banner against two rebels, using airbending to ensnare them.

Korra continues dodging the remaining rebels' offenses and grabs the rope of one of the rebels and kicks another rebel, slamming him unconscious on the staircase. She ties the rope around the rebel's wrist and swings him to a pillar, knocking him out.

Korra runs out of the palace to see the rebel leader leaving.

"Dad, stop!" She waterbends at the snowmobile, causing it to change course and crash.

"Why did you do this, Dad?" Kora removes the rebel's hood, revealing him to not be Tonraq. "What? Who are you? Where's my father?"

The rebel leader spoke: "He wouldn't help us. He's a traitor, just like you, Avatar Korra."

Unalaq and Malina awakens.

Meanwhile, back to the palace, where the rebels were led away in handcuffs.

"Thank you for saving our lives." said Malina.

"I'm just glad I got here in time."

"Find Varrick. I want him to freeze in prison with the rest of these traitors." Unalaq ordered his troops who were leading the rebels away.

"Wait, you can't just lock them away. That will only make the South angrier." Korra said.

"You mean you want them to go free, Korra?" Malina asked.

"No. But let them stand trial for what they did. Every Water Tribe citizen deserves that right." Korra said.

"Very well. I will respect the Avatar's wishes in this matter." Unalaq said.

"Thank you, Uncle." Korra said.

At the Southern Water Tribe village where Korra rides back to her home and opens the door to see her parents eating. Tonraq and Senna look up to her, smiling.

"Is it okay if I come in?"

"Of course. We heard what happened." Senna said. "Are you okay?"

Korra gets her tears up and hugs her father. "I'm so glad you weren't there, Dad. I don't know what I would've done."

"I had no idea how far Varrick was willing to go. My brother and I have our differences, but I would never attack him."

"I'm sorry for thinking you had anything to do with the rebels. And for all the pain I've caused you and Mom." Korra said.

"I'm the one who should apologize. After I saw the Southern Lights return, I was so proud of you. I never should've held you back." Tonraq said.

"When your father and I found each other, all we wanted was to live a simple life and raise a family. But, then we discovered you were the Avatar, and simple was over. We knew one day the world would need you, and you wouldn't need us anymore." said Senna.

"Mom, Dad, of course I still need you." Korra said before he hugs her parents.

Then Tonraq sees Unalaq walking in.

"We weren't expecting you, Unalaq." Tonraq said.

Four soldiers enter the room. "Tonraq, Senna, you are under arrest and will stand trial." Unalaq said.

"Trial? For what?" Tonraq asked.

"For conspiring to assassinate me."

Korra and her parents were looking in shock and disbelief.

I know it's fun adding Unalaq's wife to this story. I just felt like it, that's all.

Chapter fourteen's coming.
