We're back on chapter sixteen.

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

Meanwhile, at the prison, inside Tonraq's cell which Korra and Senna entered.

"Honey, are you all right?" Senna asked.

"I'm fine."

"Good, let's bust you out of here right now." Korra determined.

"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." said Tonraq calmly.

"Fine. I promise."

At Korra and her parents' house. Inside the house, Senna was standing before the sink, crying. Korra was watching her from a distance, before approaching her mother.

"It's okay, Mom." Korra said consoling.

"I-I hate feeling so helpless." Senna said before she wipes off tears.

"I know." Korra said before she gives an angry and determined look.

At a cliff where a Satomobile was being driven. Hotah was driving the car. He glances in his review mirror. The mirror reveals Korra riding Naga behind his car, gaining on him fast. His eyes widen in surprise. Hotah's foot shows him flooring the gas pedal.

Korra and Naga, however, manage to catch up and knock the Satomobile, causing it to lose control and slamming to the side of the cliff. Naga knocks off the door, while Hotah looks in fear. Korra pulls him up and slams him against the side of the Satomobile.

"What do you want?" the terrified Hotah asks.

"It's not about what I want. It's about what Naga wants." Naga growls in anger. "And she'd like you to let my father out of prison." Korra threatened.

"I-I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. I was just following Unalaq's orders."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Korra asks enraged.

"I-I've said too much." Hotah said.

Korra throws Hotah into Naga's mouth. "Unless you wanna be Naga's afternoon snack, you'd better keep talking."

"I-I've worked for your uncle for years! He said he needed everyone to think the trial was fair." he confessed.

"So Unalaq told you what to say?" Korra asked.

"Yes! Every word." Hotah said.

"Then why did he have you free my mother and change your sentence?" Korra asked.

"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."

"What do you mean, he got my father banished?" Korra asked with a shocked face.

"Uh… Nothing!" Hotah said.

Korra looked at Hotah with a warning. "Keep talking."

Meanwhile, back to Varrick's mansion.

"Unalaq's a liar and a traitor!" Korra said to her friends.

"I've been trying to tell you that from the get-go." Varrick said.

"What happened?" Mako asked.

"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."

"Unalaq wanted your dad out of the way so he could become chief. It was a setup." said Mako.

"Just like the whole trial. I can't believe I trusted him. I'm busting my father and the rebels out of jail. I need your help." Korra said.

Mako gets unsure. "If you do this, there's no going back." Mako said.

"I know." Korra said. "Will you help me or not?"

"Of course, I'll help." Mako answered.

"Me, too." Asami answered, too.

"Count me in!" Varrick answered.

The door opens, revealing both Bolin and Pabu dressed up like Eska. Bolin's hair stands up awkwardly.

"God, I don't even want to know.' Mako said uneasily.

"So I'm guessing the breakup with Eska didn't go well?" Asami asked.

Bolin smiles sarcastically. "Oh, no, no, the honesty thing worked out great. So great she decided we should get married!" he said in anger.

"Sorry that I ask." Asami said.

Korra got slightly amused. "I'm pretty sure the guy is supposed to give the girl the betrothal necklace." she said.

"I guess Eska didn't get the memo." Bolin said.

"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."

Later, at the prison. A guard was patrolling the interior, where an earthbending move causes him to fall into a trench. Sparks fly out of the trench as the guard was electrocuted. The unconscious guard was lying, while Asami, Mako, and Korra climb up the trench.

"My dad's in there." Kora said, before she opens the cell door, only to find it deserted. "Where is he?"

Unalaq appeared. "I'm sorry, Korra. You'll never see your father again."

"Where's my father?" Korra demanded.

"On a ship headed to the Northern Tribe. He'll serve out his sentence there." Unalaq said.

"Bring him back. Or I'm taking you out and the rest of your army." Korra demanded again.

"Remember who you are. As the Avatar, you cannot threaten war. You must remain neutral, or our tribes will never find unity." Unalaq said.

"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. You are just like Sarlaq."

"I am nothing like Sarlaq. He hated me. He threatened to take away everything I care about. I won't let him hurt you and our family." Unalaq said. "All I've ever wanted is to help you realize your destiny."

"Well, I don't want your help anymore." Korra said.

"If you start a war, the dark spirits will annihilate the South. And even I will be powerless to stop them." Unalaq tries to reason.

"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 said before she turns away.

"And why would I do that?" Unalaq asked bluntly.

"Because you still need me to open the Northern portal." Korra said.

"No, I don't. You've served your purpose."

An enraged Korra throws three fire blasts at her uncle, which Unalaq neutralizes with waterbending. Unalaq throws an arc and a blast at Korra. Korra manages to stop the frozen arc, but was pushed off by the frozen blast. Mako assists Korra with a fire kick.

Unalaq manages to dodge the kick and pushes Mako off with a water blast to the face. Unalaq throws another water blast at his niece, but she manages to catch the blast and pushes his against the wall with an air blast.

"If we get to Varrick's boat, we can still save your father." Mako said.

"Let's go." Korra said before Team Avatar exits the prison, while Unalaq looks on.

Chapter seventeen will be coming soon.
