[Back at Xiao Jun's tower, a tortured Kiro slowly stands up even after the scarring he had endured by Xiao Jun]

[Xiao Jun noticing this] Not a good idea, buddy. Haven't you had enough?

[Nearby, Amos, a loyal member of the Red Lotus and someone who has grown to care for Kiro, watches in silent alarm. He knows the kind of pain Xiao Jun can inflict, and he can see the toll it has taken on Kiro.]

[Amos, whispering, urgent: Kid, stay down… it's not worth your life doing this.

[Zyna and Hok watch this, worried for their friend would get eventually killed as Kiro refuses to yield. He knows he has a purpose, something to prove—to himself, to Xiao Jun, and maybe even to Saito, wherever he is. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he manages to stand tall, blood dripping from his wounds but his spirit unbroken.]

[Xiao Jun, disappointed] Well that's a shame… you really were a great miner. [Xiao Jun prepares to execute Kiro for his defiance]

[EVAC then sensed a breach coming from outside the building] We've got a breach! Protect Xiao Jun!

[An android then knocked out Kiro, while the other protect Xiao Jun from danger]

[The train with Maya and the Red Lotus as they prepare themselves for EVAC and his forces]

[Maya] They spotted us. It's about to get bumpy.

[Baashi] You heard the young lady, eject.

[Red Lotus member] Come on! Move out!

[The battle ensures and there many casualties from both sides.]

[alarm blaring] [Janek] There's too many. We have to abort! [Maya, worried that Xiao Jun's forces are beating their forces and reinforcements might not come.]

[Maya] We're not gonna make it. [However, the miners came to help, led by Saito, using their Jet boots and drills to defend themselves against Xiao Jun's androids.] Whoo-hoo!!!

[Saito] Metal to the pedal, fellas! Let's break some rules!!!

[Maya] Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about, Sai!!!

[Saito defeats dozens of androids, until he faces EVAC in a one on one battle, ending with Saito spinning EVAC's head 180 degrees and it opens up, revealing to be full of a million eyes.]

[Saito, terrified] WOAH!! That's intense!

[EVAC] You can't win, miner. I see everything. [Saito then has an idea after hearing EVAC's words.]

[Saito] That's right! You do! Except the tower we're about to crash into.

[EVAC, after hearing Saito's words, jumps off the train, while Saito enters the train by breaking the front window, which the train crashed into the tower and sent Xiao Jun flying while rubble fell down on him.]

[alarmed chatter] What's going on?

[electronic charge]

[Saito] Hey! [Destroys couple of Androids] What has he done to you? Your sticker...

[Kiro, distant] This is nothing… compared to what I'm gonna do to Xiao Jun.

[Amos, after noticing Baashi and Janek exiting the train] Baashi! Free the prisoners!

[Baashi then proceeds to free the prisoners which included Zyna, Hok, Amos, Xaolon and Kiro]

[Saito] I know how to stop him. EVAC is the answer!

[Kiro, rejects his plan.] I'm doing this my way.

[Saito] KIRO!

[Hok, after being freed] Yes!! [An android tries to kill Hok, and uses Ice on his hands to defend himself, which broke the android's fingers.] WOAH!! Look guys!!! I have Ice gauntlets!!!

[Zyna fighting alongside Maya against many of Xiao Jun's forces]

[Hok] Hey Zyna! Ice gauntlets! They appeared when this guy… [The android then attempted to kill Hok, before he unexpectedly summoned knives made of ice coming from the gauntlets which decapitated its head] Ice knives?! I have Ice knives!!!

[Zyna, surprised] Woah! You really have cool abilities!

[Hok, excited for his new abilities, then pronounced his nickname with a deep voice] The Blizzard Wolf!!!

[Meanwhile while the miners and the Red Lotus fight against Xiao Jun's army, Kiro grows desperate to locate Xiao Jun]

[Kiro, furious] WHERE'S XIAO JUN?!?!?!

[Xiao Jun uses firebending to strike back at Kiro and Saito. Maya then noticed that Xiao Jun uses technology to replicate all bending moves and controlling gravity which he uses to replicate Earthbending]

[Maya] Wait a minute, his bending is artificial. He's using gadgets!

[Xiao Jun] You pathetic little twits! Did you really think that you could knock down everything I've built?!

[Saito] It's over, Xiao Jun! You can't escape the truth!

[Xiao Jun] What truth? That I hired bloodbenders to remove the bending from your newborn bodies?! Forced you to mine so that I could pay off the Oni and live like a king?! None of that matters, BECAUSE THE TRUTH... IS... WHAT... I... MAKE IT!

[Using his technology, he created an armor made by a mix of iron and tungsten. Then used Spirit Energy to shoot spirit beams.]

[Saito] Uh oh… INCOMING!!!

[The group then hide themselves to avoid being turned into dust, all the while Kiro cover himself and used a Spirit Blaster and used the remains of the destroyed androids to form an armor.]

[Zyna] He is so strong!!

[Maya] Seriously?! He is just using technology!

[Saito] I got an idea, but we would need EVAC.

[Zyna] EVAC? The creepy android?

[Saito] He is basically a living database, we would need his memories to expose Xiao Jun.

[Hok] Good plan though, but where is he?

[Out of nowhere, EVAC ambushes Maya outside the tower; pummelling her in a furious rage after nearly being crushed between a runaway train and a tower.]

[Maya] Found him! [yells]

[Hok] Well, that was quick.

[Saito, using his radio to communicate with Maya] Maya! Do not break him. Bring him to the broadcast station. We'll meet you there.

[Maya, strained from her fight with EVAC] Easier said than done, Sai!

[yells]

[grunts]

[Saito] I said, don't break him!!!

[Maya, knocking out EVAC] Relax! I'm being very gentle.

[Zyna] I'm helping Maya out, see you at the broadcast station.

[Saito nodded in agreement, only to turn back to see a group of androids aiming at Saito, before being saved by Hok using his ice knives.]

[Hok] Sai! Sai look! I have knives! Made of ice!

[Saito] I can see that.

[Hok] I'm gonna cut these guys. Watch. Come here!

[Saito] You can jab them later. We got to go.

[Hok] Yeah!

[Meanwhile at Xiao Jun's tower, Kiro helps Amos to get up.]

[Kiro] For the record, I still don't trust you. I just want to bring Xiao Jun down.

[Amos chuckles] Fair enough.

[Xiao Jun then proceeds to attack them both.] Can I confess you something Amos…? What I did to Zaheer before I executed him? He was already a broken man… a shame Zaheer never realized his dream, but I got to benefit from it. That's why after I killed him, I took a valuable trinket for myself… the necklace of Guru Laghima.

[Amos, enraged by the details of Zaheer's death, directly faces Xiao Jun with Kiro] Flank him!

[Both then started to fight against the False Avatar, who proved to be stronger by the technology of his armor, and subdued both Amos and Kiro]

[At the broadcast station, Hok used his Ice knives to cut the doors which follows a destructive ruckus in here and terrorizing the broadcasting staff, which Saito, Maya and Zyna confronted him for this.]

[Saito] Dude! What the heck are you doing?!?! They're not the bad guys!!!

[Zyna] And why did you cut the door?

[Hok, in denial] What? No, I didn't… That was an… I… It was already like that. [Threatening the staff] Right?

[Staff members, terrified for their lives] Yes, that's right. That's right, yes. Yeah, it was already like… Yes. Mm-hmm.

[Saito then activates the console to transmit EVAC's memories to Republic City.]

[Announcer] Attention, Republic City. Stand by for a live transmission from Avatar Xiao Jun.

[Amos grunting in pain tried to Earthbend, only to be subdued by Xiao Jun.]

[Xiao Jun, arrogantly speaking] What's wrong, Amos? Rise up!

[Saito's group then connected EVAC with the console, which caused the android to start transmitting video evidence of Xiao Jun's true nature to the whole city.]

[Xiao Jun, via recording] That's why after I killed him…

That's why after I killed him, I took a valuable trinket for myself…

trinket for myself…

What truth? That I hired bloodbenders to remove the bending from your newborn bodies?! Forced you to mine so that I could pay off the Oni and live like a king?!

[Back at his tower, Xiao Jun notices his voice transmitting to the city, which made him realize to his horror that he has been exposed for his heinous crimes.]

What truth? That I hired bloodbenders to remove the bending from your newborn bodies?! Forced you to mine so that I could pay off the Oni and live like a king?!

I'm working my miners as hard as I can.

I swear I will get you the rest!

I'm working my miners as hard as I can.

[The citizens of Republic City witnessed Xiao Jun bowing down to the Oni]

I swear I will get you the rest! [crowd gasps]

I'm working my miners as hard as I can, I swear…

[Miner] Liar!!!

[crowd protesting]

We trusted you!

Traitor!

[Maya] Sai! We did it.

[Xiao Jun was too focused on how the citizens of Republic City now see him as the traitorous fraud he truly is. Kiro gets up and hellbent in anger attacks Xiao Jun.]

[Kiro screaming in rage, subdues Xiao Jun, and punches him while they fall off the tower, with Saito and the group witnessing it.]

[Saito] KIRO!!!

[Xiao Jun tried to escape from Kiro by using his technology, only for Kiro to break it and land on the Heart of Republic City, all the while the citizens bare witness to a possible public execution. Kiro uses his spirt cannon to kill Xiao Jun, who quickly dodges the blast, which hit a nearby building, almost endangering many innocent lives.]

[Xiao Jun, pleading for his live to be spared.] Kiro please. We could lead Republic City together. Don't do this!

[Kiro ignores his pleas as he prepares himself to execute Xiao Jun, but Saito stops him from doing so.]

[Kiro] What are you doing?!

[Saito] It's over Kiro. Now everyone in Republic City knows the truth.

[Kiro] SO DO I! He took everything from us! I have to do this!

[Saito] No you don't! Rebuilding our world cannot begin with an execution.

[Kiro] He deserves to DIE! Can't you see that?!

[Saito] We're better than this. Don't be like Xiao Jun.

[Kiro, calmly yet furiously] Sai... you need to move out of my way, before I move you myself.

[Saito] Kiro, listen…

STOP...!

[Kiro pushes back Saito before knocking him out. Recharges his spirit cannon and attempts to kill Xiao Jun, only for Saito taking the bullet from him, much to the horror of Kiro, Maya, Hok and Zyna. Saito almost falls to the Spirit portal, only for Kiro to rescue him.]

[Kiro] No! No, no, no, no, no! Why... why did you do that!? WHY!?

(His distraught expression slowly turns to anger, all the while the Spirit Energy from his armor corrupts itself from a color purple to a color red.)

[Saito, weakly] Kiro… noo…!

[Kiro] (He slowly looks down... and looks at Saito with glowing red eyes) I'm done saving you.

[Kiro lets go of Saito to fall into the Spirit Portal, with Maya, Zyna and Hok's reaction to seeing their best friend killed and mercilessly dropped by their other best friend. Maya can only scream silently in anguish as she lunges for Saito's body as if to try and catch him, while both Zyna and Hok have to hold her back.]

[Kiro turns his sight on a wounded Xiao Jun while trying to escape his wrath, some androids came to assist him.]

[Kiro screams angrily as he launches into pursuing his vengeance.]

[Saito's lifeless body went to the Spirit World and fell down to a river where it leads to the Tree of Life, while Kiro battles his way to outright murder Xiao Jun, using Bonebending to twist his limbs and gouging out his eyes, much to the joy of the Red Lotus and the horror of his former friends as they witness their own friend murdering in cold blood the False Avatar, and rips out the Spirit energy core from Xiao Jun's armor.]

[Kiro] The Age of Avatars has ended! No more false prophets! Fight back, and you will never again be deceived! Rise up!

[As the Red Lotus cheer on Kiro, Maya, Hok and Zyna became terrified of his own transformation into an anarchist.]
