We're back on chapter twenty.

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


Meanwhile, at Mako's residence. Korra gets agitated about her meeting with Raiko.

"He won't help us!" Korra snapped.

"Korra…" Mako tried to calm her down.

"I can't believe the President is doing nothing! H-he doesn't even care!" she said.

"I'm sure he cares, but he can't just tell his people to go fight a battle at the South Pole that has nothing to do with them." Mako said.

"How could you take his side?" Korra asked exasperated.

"What's with you and sides? Why do you always think I'm working against you?" Mako asked agitated.

"Well, you're not helping me! I'm trying to get troops to the South. So, what the hell are you doing?" Korra asked.

Mako stands up. "I'm doing my job."

"Well, excuse me, officer. Don't let me stand in the way of you writing tickets. I'm just trying to save the world." Korra said sarcastically with anger.

"Well, you wouldn't have to if you didn't keep messing it up!" Mako said angrily.

"I can't talk to you when you're like this." she said angrily before she storms off and slams a door.

Mako sits back down in the couch with his arms crossed with irritation.

"You're the one who's like this!" Mako snaps angrily.


Meanwhile, at the harbour, Asami was walking, but gets cut off by Korra.

"Hey! In a hurry?" Asami asked in an annoyed tone.

"Sorry, I have to talk to Varrick." Korra said.

"Yeah, me, too." said Asami.

Korra and Asami enters Varrick's yacht. There were stray arrows everywhere. An arrow nearly hits Asami, but Korra pulls her out of the way. Both girls turn to see a blindfolded Varrick holding a bow, while Bolin and Zhu Li stand next to him.

Varrick removes his blindfold. "Oh, hello! See? I told you I could do it."

"Sorry I ever doubted you." Bolin said.

"We can't wait for the President to act. We need those troops now." Korra said.

"And my company is about to go under. I have to find a way to make some sales." Asami said.

"Right, okay. Got it. Idea storm! Get the supplies!" Varrick ordered Zhu Li. "You're about to get an inside look at how Varrick Global Industries stays at the forefront of imagination innovation, or 'imagivation'! That's trademarked, pal."

He takes a chili pepper, while Asami and Korra glance at each other with unsure looks. Brainwork requires increased circulation.

He eats the chili pepper and reddens. "Let's do this!" Varrick hangs himself upside-down. "Okay, here come the ideas. Fast and furious. Pink mint lemon tea. Radio for pets. Uh, hand shoes. Hold on a tic. We don't need the President to go to the South. We just need the troops! Let's go straight to them! If there's one thing I know about troops, it's that they love fighting."

"I know General Iroh. He might be willing to help us." Korra said.

"A man on the inside. Perfect! And you need to sell some mecha tanks. I know some people who need them. We'll ship 'em South."

"That's perfect! You'll be making money for your company and you'll be helping to defeat Unalaq." Korra said.

"It's true. If you can't make money during a war, you just flat-out cannot make money." Varrick said.

"It's dangerous on the seas right now, but I'm willing to try if you are." Asami said.

"It'll be crazy risky, but I love crazy risky! End storm!" Varrick said before he wings himself upright with a spin. "Zhu Li, get those other ideas to research and development. I want prototypes by next week." Zhu Li runs off.

"I don't understand why it's so hard to get Republic City to support the South."

"Don't worry, I'm already working on that. As soon as people see this, they'll be lining up to fight Unalaq." Varrick said. "Zhu Li, do the, uh… the thing." he ordered Zhu Li before she turns on the projector.

"Don't freak out. It's not real." Bolin said.

"I had a film crew documenting the entire Northern invasion."

The screen shows troops amassing at the harbour. Troops waterbending, followed by Eska, who notices the camera.

Bolin covers his face in fear, while Pabu jumps off. "Ahhh!"

Korra and Asami got startled.

"Sorry. I keep doing that." Bolin said.

"We're gonna cut this footage together with scenes we shoot of our superstar Bolin here playing a Southern Water Tribe hero battling the evil Unalaq. No one will root for the North after they see 'The Adventures of Nuktuk: Hero of the South'!"

Bolin flexes his muscles, brightly. "I'm Nuktuk! What do you think?"

Varrick grabbed a cane and a hat.

"Who's gonna fight for friends and freedom?"

"Nuktuk!"

"He's the biggest, baddest, bendingest man I know"

"Who protects the icy tundra?"

"Nuktuk!"

"Battling Northies out there in the snow"

"When Unalaq starts trouble, he'll punch him in the mouth"

"He's Nuktuk, the hero of the South"

"Hm-hm"

Varrick jumped on the desk.

"Nuktuk!"

"That's our guy"

"He can fly to the sky"

"He's got brains"

"No pains, no gains"

"Who's gonna give Unalaq a fall?"

"Nuktuk!"

"He's the greatest hero of all"

"Uh-huh"

Korra and Asami was amazed with Varrick's idea of Bolin being an actor in Varrick's film.

"Who's everyone's best friend?"

"Nuktuk!"

"Who will never let the world end?"

"Nuktuk!"

"As a hero, he's sworn an oath"

"He's Nuktuk, the hero of the South"

Varrick jumped from the desk and dances.

"As a hero, he's sworn an oath"

"He's Nuktuk, the hero of the South"

"Yeah!"

Bolin clapped at Varrick who was bowing.

"Thank you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. You've been a wonderful audience."


My, Varrick can sure dance and sing, right?

Chapter twenty-one is coming.
