Extremes Are Met

It's morning in Air Temple Island and Kota and Korra are having a sparring session with Kota charging at the Avatar and delivering some swift punches and roundhouse kicks making Korra dodge every attack and unleashes firebending and then earthbending. She was using some new techniques Kota taught her but he dodges both fire and earth and delivers a downward strike sending Korra back, but she uses an earthbending to skid and stop the sliding and throws three fireballs from both hands and then from her right foot but Kota quickly dodges every fireball and then delivers a punch making Korra grab Kota's fist but Kota delivers a roundhouse kick surprising Korra who quickly Firebends and they're both on the ground.

"You're really good with your fighting techniques, Kota." Korra said.

"And you're more aggressive with your bending, as usual." Kota said, getting up.

"How come you don't earthbend?" Korra asked.

"You can't just rely on bending all the time," Kota said, "What if you are chi-blocked or fighting against someone who can dodge your projectiles?"

Korra thought about what Kota just said and later nodded, "Got it, thanks for the spar..."

Kota nodded, "Of course. Come on, it's about time Mako, Bolin, and Asami arrive at the island." Kota said as the two started moving. He, Korra, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo arrive at the docks looking out for a boat and they later see a boat coming their way.

"There they are!" Ikki yelled, she pulled her older brother's leather jacket as the boat arrived at the dock.

"You're finally here!" Ikki said excitedly.

"Glad you could make it." Kota said as the three got off the boat.

"Thanks," Mako said with a smile.

"Welcome to Air Temple Island. Your new home." Ikki said.

"Yes, welcome to my domain!" Meelo said.

"Well, aren't you a sweet little monk child," Bolin said smiling and Pabu jumped off of Bolin's shoulder and went for Naga.

"What's that fuzzy creature?" Meelo asked, looking at Pabu.

"That is a fire ferret, buddy," Kota said.

"An arboreal mammal common to the bamboo forests of the central Earth Kingdom." Jinora said, adding information to her brother's answer.

"He's CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!" Ikki shouted excitedly while running past Jinora who covers her ears from her sister's shouting while Kota laughs as Ikki tries to run for Pabu who hisses and runs away from the excited Airbender.

Just then Meelo Airbends himself on Naga.

"Yip, yip. Fly sky bison!" Meelo said, pulling the polar bear-dog's ears making Kota laugh, amused at his brother's antics.

"Thanks for sending the Air Acolytes to help us with the move." Mako said.

"Yes, they've been amazing. Such tireless workers." Asami said as they watched the Air Acolytes carrying too many bags off the boat.

"I thought you were bringing a few things." Korra said.

"I guess it would've been worse." Kota said.

"Well, anyway, everyone here wants you to feel welcome." Korra said.

"Come on." Kota said as he started leading the group through the docks.

As they walk Meelo smiles at Asami.

"You're pretty. Can I have some of your hair?" Meelo asked, making Mako laugh at this.

"Looks like I have some competition." Mako said in a joking manner.

"Better keep up, champ," Kota said, adding onto Mako's joke.

Mako smirked at Kota, "He clearly has your charms."

"And now for the grand tour. The flying bison sleep in the caves Koko made down there. That's the temple Grandpa Aang built. And that's the greenhouse where we grow vegetables we eat." Ikki said showing the right where the caves are, the buildings, and to the left for the greenhouse.

"Any questions?" Kota asked.

"I have a couple of questions. Is this an all vegetarian island? Is that where you train Airbending? Do we have to wear Air Acolyte clothes? Do we each get our own sky bison? How old was Kota when he made those caves? And the final question, how many trees are on this island?" Bolin asked.

"Yes, yes, no, no, 7 years old, 10,552." Ikki answered all the questions, making everyone except for Kota shocked.

"So, where are we gonna be staying?" Mako asked.

"You're a boy. Boys have to stay on the boy side." Meelo said.

"I'll be happy to take you to the men's dormitory." Jinora said.

"I'm a boy." Bolin said.

Jinora walked off with the brothers and Kota looked to his younger brother, "Meelo, come with us so we can help Mako and Bolin settle in after our sister is done showing them around?"

"We shall meet again soon, beautiful woman." Meelo said, leaving with his big brother.

"Ikki and I will be happy to take you to your room this way." Korra said as she started leading Asami.

Korra, Asami, and Ikki are walking down the corridor of the woman's side and everything is quiet.

"Asami, did you know Korra likes Mako?" Ikki asked, making the Avatar have a shocked face while thunder roars and explosions occur in the background behind Korra.

"Oh, uh... No. I was completely unaware of that." Asami said.

"Well, let's move on!" Korra said grabbing Asami by her arm and they go down the halls while opening the doors to a different room allowing Asami to enter first and then follows her in and before Ikki could come in Korra quickly slams the doors in the Airbender's face.

"Hey!" Ikki yelled.

"Run along, Ikki!" Korra yelled through the doors making Ikki become angry as her eyes become comically white and begins growling and snarling and clawing like a cat but then pouts and walks off.

In the room and they look around it.

"So... this is your new room. I know it's a little rustic compared to what you're used to." Korra said.

"I think it's really charming. The best part about it... nothing here reminds me of my father. I want to thank you and Koko for your hospitality." Asami said.

"Of course." Korra said and just then there is a knock on the door. "Ikki, I swear, if you don't leave us alone, I'm gonna..." Korra cuts herself off as Tenzin and his older son enter the room, making the Avatar shocked and embarrassed. "Uhhh, hey you two. Come right in." Korra said, trying to regain her composure.

"Good day, ladies. Asami, welcome to the island." Tenzin said.

"Thank you for having me." Asami said bowing and Tenzin bows back.

"You know Koko, you had always wanted to take me here," she said.

Kota chuckled, "You're right about that. I was going to take you to the bison caves to hang out with Shorty."

Asami smiled and followed Kota out of her new room to the caves.

Tenzin looked to Korra, "Korra, Beifong's replacement, Saikhan is going to be inducted as the new chief of police later. I think we should both be there." Tenzin said.

...

Kota and Asami were at the caves, hanging out with the bison. Asami and Kota were sitting together, "When was the last time we hung out like this?" Asami asked.

"When things didn't become a shitshow..." Kota said with a chuckle. Asami giggled at this and sighed, "You're right about that."

Asami was petting a small bison calf while Kota was tending to his bison, Shorty.

"Thank you," Asami said.

Kota looked to her with a bewildered expression, "What did I do?"

"You've been there for me ever since Mom died and have looked out for me," Asami said, "You were there when I cried, when I needed comfort, everything."

"Sounds like you prefer me over Mako, when it comes to who is or was the better boyfriend," Kota said with a chuckle, making Asami giggle at his comment, "I almost forgot why we broke up," Asami said.

"I left to join the United Forces," Kota said with a smile, "I thought I was going to stay with the forces for a long time, but I learned a valuable lesson. It is that I can enjoy doing things I like while maintaining an image. There is also the fact that I don't have to in my grandparent's footsteps, though I do love to do so." Kota sighed, "What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to live under your father's shadow of being an Equalist. Sure you are his daughter, but you're Asami. An amazing, strong, talented, and beautiful girl I can ever ask for a friend," Kota said with a warm smile. He later looked in Asami's direction only to be tackled with a hug by the said girl who wrapped her arms around his neck. He hugged her back as she snuggled into his chest, "Thank you..."

"Of course," Kota said back.

"Do you think if-"

"Don't think about it," Kota interrupted Asami.

"Ooooo," they looked to see Ikki teasing them, "Koko and Asami, you two are so cute together!"

"Beat it Ikki!" Kota told his sister, making her giggle as she skipped away.

...

'With Korra'

At Republic City and outside the police headquarters a large crowd is standing in front of the new chief Saikhan who is standing near a podium and with him is Tarrlok.

"It was an honor serving under Chief Beifong for so many years and I wish her a speedy recovery. It is with great humility that I take her place as the new Chief of Police. Republic City is facing a threat like none the world has ever seen, but there is one man who's been effective against Amon's revolution, Councilman Tarrlok. That is why for all matters involving the Equalists, I will report directly to him. The police department will lend any and all available resources to the councilman and his task force, until we quell this insurgency." Saikhan announced slamming his fist down on the podium.

"What is that weasel-snake Tarrlok up to now?" Korra asked, looking at Tarrlok with disdain.

After the announcement the crowd starts to disperse and Tenzin walks toward Tarrlok who is shaking hands with the Fire Nation Councilman.

"Tarrlok, I don't know what you did to get Chief Saikhan in your pocket, but I highly doubt it was legal." Tenzin said.

"Oh, Tenzin. Always the conspiracy theorist. Did you ever consider that Saikhan simply recognizes my talents and wants what best for this city?" Tarrlok asked, making the Airbender grunt in disgust as Korra glared at Tarrlok with hate. "Well, Avatar Korra. Long time, no see. Now that your little pro-bending distractions are over, I look forward to your return to my task force." Tarrlok said.

"Ha! Forget it! There's NO way I'm rejoining your vanity project." Korra said, crossing her arms.

"That is unfortunate to hear. I'm sure you'll come to your senses as you have in the past." Tarrlok said.

"Like I said, forget it, bub. You know, Tenzin's been right about you all along. You played me, you played Beifong, and now you're playing the new chief too. Well, I got news for you. You need me, but I DON'T need you! I'm the Avatar!" Korra said.

"You're not, in fact, the Avatar. You are merely a half-baked Avatar in training. That reminds me, how is your Airbending going? Made any significant progress?" Tarrlok asked and Korra looked down with no answer. "I didn't think so."

Later Korra and Tenzin are riding on Oogi through the city with Tenzin piloting the sky bison while Korra is sitting on the saddle.

"I don't understand what's wrong with me. I've memorized nearly all the practice forms, but I still can't produce a single measly puff of air! I'm a failure." Korra said.

"No, you're not. You just need to work through this Airbending block." Tenzin said.

"Amazing advice. I'll get right on that." Korra said sarcastically.

"I wasn't finished yet. You see, Aang not only has his bending teachers, but also his past lives to call upon for guidance. Have you ever made contact with your past lives?" Tenzin asked.

"No, of course I haven't. Didn't you get the memo from the White Lotus? I'm a spiritual failure too." Korra said.

"You may have made a connection without realizing it. Perhaps something you mistook for a dream?" Tenzin asked.

"Maybe. I had a few weird hallucinations, but I hardly remember them." Korra said.

"And did you see any previous Avatars in these visions?" Tenzin asked.

"I saw Aang. It seemed like he was in trouble, but you know what really surprised me was that all of this started that night after Amon ambushed me and knocked me out. Even so, I could still hear Kota's voice and I felt him. Maybe he even helped trigger the visions in some way." Korra said.

"Then, Tarrlok is wrong. He said Kota's a distraction to you, but I believe he's helped you grow stronger. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it does seem that what you two share runs even deeper than just a brother-sister relationship." Tenzin said and Korra is shocked.

"That's been buzzing around my head for a long time now. What do you think it means anyway?" Korra asked.

"I'm not sure. I urge you to meditate these visions. I believe Aang's spirit must be trying to tell you something." Tenzin said, stroking his beard.

...

Just then Oogi returns to the island and Korra jumps off the saddle.

"Hey, Korra. How was your meeting with Saikhan?" Kota asked but Korra walked away while ignoring him.

"What's wrong with her?" Bolin asked.

Later at night Korra is sitting at the edge of a cliff and is looking at the Aang statue and begins crying.

"Korra! You out here?" A voice called and it sounds like Mako.

"I think she's here." Another voice said and it's Kota.

"KOOOORRRA!" Bolin called.

Just then Pabu comes out from the bushes and climbs on the Avatar's shoulder for comfort and Kota, Mako, Bolin, and Asami come.

"There you are." Kota said.

"Are you okay?" Bolin asked.

"I'm fine." Korra answered.

"Come on, what's wrong? You can tell us." Mako said.

"How am I supposed to save the city when I can't even learn Airbending? I'm the WORST Avatar ever! I feel so..." Korra was cut off.

"Alone? Like the whole world is against you because you're not Grandpa Aang? And when you try your hardest, it's not enough and you're scared of letting everybody down?" Kota asked and Korra cries harder.

"Kota, you're the only one who truly understands how I feel, no matter how bad of an Avatar I am!" Korra said.

"Bullcrap!" Kota said.

"Kota." Mako said.

"What you're saying about yourself is not acceptable." Kota said. He later sighed, "When I was 6 years old, my father had me train with the gates. I didn't even know if I was an earthbender until I threw a 600-pound boulder at it. So take it from me, a child who disappointed his father, just because he thought his first son would be an airbender." Kota said, "You're not a failure, you are amazing."

"He's right. Korra, you're amazing." Asami said.

"Yeah and remember, Aang hadn't mastered all the four elements when he was out battling the Fire Nation. He was just a little kid." Mako said.

"And he wasn't alone either." Kota said.

"Yeah. His friends helped him. Look, the arena might be shut down, but we're still a team. The new Team Avatar." Bolin said, he later looked to Kota, "with you to be the leader."

"Why me?" Kota asked.

"It's obvious, you are the grandson of Aang, Katara, and Toph. You have been through the most out of everybody in this group, it would make sense for you to be our leader," Asami said.

"I'm with her," Korra said, "you are the living blood of three members of Aang's team including Aang himself."

Kota looked to his friends and sighed, "Well we can't turn our backs now. We've come this far already since we first met and it's time we keep it going." Kota said, "Fine, I'll be the leader."

"Yeah! We've got your back, Kota! We can save this city together!" Mako said and they all get into a circle and place their hands in the circle.

"Let's do it!" Korra said placing her hand on the others.

Just then Meelo comes flying down while passing gas on their hands.

"Yeah, let's do it! What are we doing?" Meelo asked.

"What a way to ruin the moment, dude," Kota said to his brother, laughing with everyone else.

...

Everyone gathers looking at the city.

"Get ready, Republic City. You're about to be patrolled by Team Avatar!" Bolin said.

Just then Asami comes in wearing her driving outfit and wearing an Equalist glove.

"Asami, you know how to accessorize with your outfits." Mako said.

"I figured one way to fight Equalists is to use an Equalist weapon." Asami said, making electricity from the glove.

Kota walked out with his platinum gauntlets, making Bolin's eyes shine, "You're a metalbender?"

"Not just a metalbender," Kota said, "a platinumbender."

Everyone's eyes except for Korra's were wide in shock. Kota called for his bison and Shorty came, "Let's roll guys," Kota called, having the rest of the four come and sit on the passenger's saddle. "Shorty, yip-yip!" Kota later snapped the reins and the bison flew them all to the garage.

Asami drives out in a sleek Satomobile while Kota drives his motorcycle out. "Think this'll do?" Asami asks and Korra, Mako, and Bolin get in.

"Let's go!" Korra said as Asami drives the Satomobile following Kota.

The new team Avatar begin patrolling the city and keeping their eyes open for any Equalists and they're listening to the radio with police reports.

"My dad had police scanners installed in all of his cars. I guess I know why." Asami said.

"Calling all units, level 4 alert! Jailbreak a headquarters, officers down, electrocuted, chi-blockers and Equalists are still at large armed and dangerous! Last seen heading east!" The radio said.

"Alright Krew, help me out!" Kota said.

"Crew?" Mako asked in confusion.

"Yeah, but with a K instead of a C for Korra, Krew." Kota shouted.

"We should make T-shirts later." Bolin suggested.

"We'll talk!" Kota said.

Mako stood up and launched an arc of lightning at one cycle and Bolin sent a barrage of rocks at the other.

Now it was just them and the truck.

"Korra! Bolin! Help me make a semi-loop de loop ramp!" Kota ordered

The Avatar and the other earthbender nodded and all three made a large loop and the truck drove right up it since it had nowhere else to go and flipped on its back after it tried to stop.

Kota shifted his armor off his face and whooped, "Nice!" he cheered and jumped off his bike and captured those trying to get away with Korra and the rest helping.

The press arrived to take their pictures with the captured Equalists just as Tarrlok and his task force arrived.

"Avatar Korra, what do you think you're doing?" Tarrlok asked angrily as he stormed up to her.

"Oh, hey, Tarrlok. Nice of you to show up finally. Here, we captured the escaped convicts for you." Korra said.

"What you did was tear up the city and impede the real authorities in their pursuit of these criminals." Tarrlok said.

"That's funny. I didn't see your task force of the cops the whole time." Kota said in a smug manner.

"If it wasn't for us, they would have gotten away." Korra said inspecting her nails and she and Kota give each other a fist bump.

"This is your final warning. Stay out of my way! And keep your brat in check!" Tarrlok said leaving.

"Wimp..." Kota said.

"I couldn't agree more." Korra said.

The next day at city hall all the Councils are having a meeting.

"Republic City stands as a beacon of freedom, but the Equalists are using that freedom to tear it down. The law I have proposed would make it illegal for anyone to be a member of the Equalists or even be associated with them. It also puts into effect a curfew, ensuring all non-benders are in their homes by nightfall." Tarrlok announced making Tenzin flabbergasted.

"This is going too far, Tarrlok! You can't punish all non-benders for the actions of a few!" Tenzin protested.

"That kind of cowardice will cause our city to fall into Amon's hands. We must pass this law. All in favor?" Tarrlok asks, raising his hand first and the rest of the council agree while Tenzin sighs in anger and Tarrlok smirks and slams his gavel.

...

Unknowing to them Kota is spying on them and is shocked to hear what Tarrlok just said.

Later Kota returns to the group and tells them what happened at the council meeting.

"He WHAT?!" Korra asked shocked and angry.

"Tarrlok is passing a law that non-benders have to be on curfew." Kota said.

"Tarrlok's gone too far this time!" Korra said.

"As if this war between benders and non-benders wasn't horrible enough. Now they're treating all non-benders as if they have no rights." Asami said.

"The council is supposed to help the city, but now they're helping influence this crazy war." Mako said.

"What do we do?" Bolin asked.

"We have continued stopping the Equalists from having their way, then we'll worry about Tarrlok later." Kota said.

"Sounds good to me. Anything to stop this battle between different factions." Korra said.

Later at night Team Avatar continue patrolling the city and they later stop at a bakery and are having dumplings but just then the radio starts going off.

"All available units please respond to the 56 hundred block of Dragon Flats Burol! Equalists have taken to the streets, consider them armed and dangerous and proceed with caution." The radio said.

"Finally, something to do." Kota said, eating his dumpling.

They go for the car and Asami is in the driver's seat while Kota sits next to her while Bolin sits next to him and Mako goes for the car.

"After you." Mako said, opening the back car door.

"What a gentleman. Thanks." Korra said, getting in the car and sit at the back seat and Mako sits next to her making Asami watch this through her rearview mirror and has visible jealousy and then starts driving the car.

They arrive at a neighborhood that's cut off from electricity and all the houses are dark and nobody's home.

"Why is everything dark?" Kota asked.

"Maybe they forgot to pay their electric bills?" Bolin suggested.

"I don't know..." Korra said but then they see a large crowd of people who are non-benders and are protesting at Metalbending cops who are holding them back behind a blockade.

"Wait, these people aren't armed or dangerous." Asami said.

"It doesn't look that way." Korra said.

"Then, what's going on?" Kota asked.

"All non-benders return to your homes immediately!" A metal cop standing on top of a police truck ordered with a megaphone.

"Yeah, as soon as you turn our power back on!" One of the bystanders yelled and the other non-benders yelled again.

"Why would they cut their power?" Kota asked.

"Disperse, or you WILL be arrested!" The metal cop with the megaphone called.

"You benders can't treat us this way!" A woman yelled and she's holding a baby.

"Mommy, look! It's the Avatar and Kota Beifong!" The little girl said and the non-benders turned to see the gang.

"Please help us. You're our Avatar too." The woman said.

"I'll see what I can do. I promise. I'm gonna put a stop to this." Korra said.

Kota looks around and sees someone.

"I think HE'S the source of the problem." Kota said pointing at the figure and they see Tarrlok talking to the police and so he goes over to the councilman.

"Tarrlok, you need to turn the power back on and leave these people alone!" Korra demanded.

"Avatar Korra, you, Beifong, and your friends have no business here." Tarrlok said.

"We're NOT going anywhere. You don't have the right to treat these innocent people like criminals." Korra said.

"This is an Equalist rally! There is nothing innocent about it!" Tarrlok said.

"These people are NOT Equalist, you idiot!" Kota yelled.

"They're just normal people, who just want their rights back." Asami said.

"They are the enemy! Round up all the Equalists!" Tarrlok commanded and the metal cops start Metalbending the blockades and removing the legs and begin to force people back while coiling the blockades and then the cops slam their feet creating large mounds of earth to rise from the ground making the people scream.

"STOP!" Korra shouted as she and Kota earthbended the mounds down allowing the people to escape, making Tarrlok angry but he sees Asami and uses his waterbending to wrap her arm with water and drags her to the cops.

"Hey! Let me go!" Asami yelled.

"Asami!" Kota cried.

"You're under arrest!" Tarrlok said as the cops placed handcuffs on her.

"What? You can't do that!" Mako yelled.

"Actually, I can. She's a non-bender out past her curfew and her father is a known Equalist conspirators." Tarrlok said.

"Let her go!" Mako yelled.

"Arrest him and his brother!" Tarrlok orders and the metal cops launch their cables at the brothers wrapping their torsos making them struggle to break free but to no avail and they are being pulled by the cops.

"That's it! I'VE HAD IT!" Kota shouted as his eyes turned silver and his hair turned silver too. An aura shined around him, making Tarrlok shake.

"What is this?!" Tarrlok asked with a hint of fear, making the other's think the same thing.

Kota lets out a huge roar while shooting white energy out of his mouth. He later looks to the officers and then starts attacking the other cops with brutal punches and kicks and then fires multiple boulders with his earthbending. He later turns to Tarrlok who tries to waterbend at the Beifong, but Kota delivers a powerful kick to Tarrlok's stomach sending him to the police van and Kota roars with rage once more with his aura flaring, but then Kota breathes heavily slowly reverts back to his normal state; unconscious while Korra rushes over.

"That boy is THREAT to our community! He's a MONSTER! He's as dangerous as Amon!" Tarrlok yelled.

"No he's not! He's trying to help these people!" Korra yelled.

"The grandson of Avatar Aang is worsening the situation. Take those children and put that monster away!" Tarrlok commanded and the metal cops escorted the brothers and Asami into the police van while the remaining metal cops tied up the unconscious Kota with metal cables and also tied up his hands and feet.

"Tarrlok!" Korra yelled, levitating two rocks ready to strike.

"Unless you want to join your friends in prison, I suggest you put those down and go back to the Air Temple." Tarrlok said.

"Korra, listen to him! Don't do it." Mako said.

"We'll be alright!" Bolin said as he's pushed into the police van along with Mako and Asami.

"Take that brat to a different van. I want him locked up in a different cell." Tarrlok ordered and the metal cops forcefully dragged Kota into another police van.

"Don't worry! I'll call Tenzin. He can get you out!" Korra called and both of the van doors closed.

"So sad to see your little Team Avatar broken up. You had a good run." Tarrlok said.

"This isn't OVER, Tarrlok!" Korra yelled.

"Oh, I believe it is. As for that monster brat..." Tarrlok stops talking.

"If you touch ONE hair on his head, you'll regret it!" Korra threatened.

"Why defend such a monster? You saw the damage he's caused." Tarrlok said as he and the cops drive off and Korra watches the van Kota is in, driving off and she's heartbroken.

...

Later at police headquarters Tenzin finds Korra struggling to get an officer to talk to her.

"I came as fast as I could. Are your friends alright?" Tenzin asked.

"I don't know. These knuckleheads won't tell me anything!" Korra said, "and I'm sorry about Kota."

"It's not your fault. I'll take care of this." Tenzin said and he found Saikhan by the counter. "Saikhan, a word if you please." Tenzin said.

"Councilman Tenzin. I'm pretty swamped at the moment. Can't this wait?" Saikhan asked.

"No it cannot. My son and three of the Avatar's friends were wrongly arrested tonight. I'd like you to release them immediately." Tenzin said.

"They're not going anywhere. They were interfering with police business, plus your son assaulted my men and a member of the council." Saikhan said.

"They were only trying to help because your so-called police business was rounding up innocent people and claiming they were Equalists. They should be released too!" Korra said.

"All Equalist suspects are being detained indefinitely. They'll be free if and when the task force deems they are no longer a threat." Saikhan said.

"Those people are entitled to due process under the law." Tenzin said.

"You'll have to take it up with Councilman Tarrlok." Saikhan said.

"Oh, I plan to. First thing tomorrow morning." Tenzin said, before he could take off he looked at Saikhan, "What about my son?! What does Tarrlok plan to do with him?"

"That information is classified." Saikhan said but Korra grabs him by the collar.

"Listen, bub! If ANYTHING happens to him, so help me, I will..." Korra was cut off.

"Korra! I know you're worried about Kota as well as I, but calm yourself." Tenzin said.

"Fine. But you're the WORST Chief of Police ever!" Korra said, grabbing Saikhan by the chin.

"Calm down, Korra." Tenzin said leading the Avatar away and they start to leave but Tenzin stops and turns to Saikhan. "But you really ARE the worst! Ever!" Tenzin yelled and they left the station.

Back at Air Temple Island in her room, Korra is on her bed crying in her pillow and Naga comforts her.

"I'm NOT waiting until morning. I'm going to have a talk with Tarrlok myself! I'll get my friends back! C'mon, Naga! Let's go save our friends!" Korra said getting off her bed.

Korra is riding on Naga through the city and it's snowing and Korra arrives at city hall and she looks at the building determined.

"Wait here, girl." Korra said and Naga hugs sadly. "Don't worry. I'll be okay." Korra said and she went for the building.

In Tarrlok's office Tarrlok is working on some paperwork and his page is at his side but just then the window opens allowing cold air and snow to enter the room blowing papers everywhere and they see Korra standing by the window with a look of anger.

"You and I need to talk." Korra jumps into the room and confronts Tarrlok.

"Are any of the council members here?" Tarrlok asked his assistant.

"I believe everyone has gone home for tonight." The page answered.

"Then you should do the same." Tarrlok said.

"Are you sure, sir?" The page asked.

"Leave us." Tarrlok said in a stern tone making the page do what he says. "You obviously have something on your mind? What is it?" Tarrlok asked.

"Don't you see? You're doing exactly what Amon says is wrong with benders. You're using your power to oppress and intimidate people." Korra said.

"And you don't?" Tarrlok asked.

"Of course not!" Korra said.

"Isn't that what you came here to do? Intimidate me into releasing your friends? See, that's what I admire about you, Korra. Your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. It is a quality we both share." Tarrlok said.

"You and I are NOTHING alike!" Korra yelled.

"Look, I'll make you a deal. You fall in line and do what I say, and I'll let your friends go." Tarrlok said.

"Is that why you arrested them? To get to me?" Korra asked.

"I need your answer." Tarrlok said.

"What about Kota? What do you plan to do with him?" Korra asked.

"I plan on killing him nice and slowly..." Tarrlok answered.

"I won't let you kill him!" Korra demanded.

"If you give me your word and do as you're told, I'll reconsider." Tarrlok said.

"No." Korra said.

"I thought you cared about that brat." Tarrlok said.

"More than YOU! I also know this is not what he wants. You're able to manipulate anyone, but not ME! I'll free Kota myself and Mako, Bolin, and Asami!" Korra yelled.

"You will regret your decision." Tarrlok said looking at his fancy waterfall.

"You're just as bad as Amon." Korra said, making Tarrlok's eyes widen.

"I've tried working with you, Avatar, but you've made it impossible." Tarrlok said, turning around and then bends a small stream of water from his waterfall at Korra who barely dodges as it cuts a small portion of her hair.

Korra earthbends at Tarrlok forcing him back and causes him to hit his back and then fires a fire blast from her fists at Tarrlok who protects himself with a water dome around him and then thrusts his hands forward and firing several ice darts at Korra but she flips back to dodge them and tries to punch at the ice darts but one catches her on her side making her cry out in pain and then shields herself with her arms to protect herself and then thrusts her hands forward and Earthbends a wall behind Tarrlok into him making the man fly through the wall and into the council chamber.

Tarrlok lands on the ground and tries to right himself but he trips over the railing and starts to fall but he grabs the railing and his hair is now loose over his face and coming from the hole in the wall is Korra with her hair now a mess and torn clothes.

"Still think I'm a half-baked Avatar?!" Korra demanded as she earthbends, making Tarrlok fall to the ground below and the Avatar jumps down and punches the ground while landing causing a giant hole around her and breathes heavily and walks over to Tarrlok who is quaking in fear. "What're you gonna now? You're out of water, pal!" Korra yelled walking for Tarrlok who moves away in fear and the Avatar begins Firebending two flames in her hands and starts charging at Tarrlok but then she stops.

Tarrlok raises his hands up and Korra's arms begin moving under his control making Korra cry out in pain and then Korra is forced to her knees by Tarrlok's movements.

"You're in my way, Avatar! You need to be removed." Tarrlok said and Korra continues to struggle.

"You... You're a... bloodbender?!" Korra asked, shocked.

"Very observant." Tarrlok said.

"It's not a full moon. How are you doing this?" Korra asked.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." Tarrlok said as he Bloodbends to lift the Avatar in midair and throws her against a pillar and then lands hard on the ground.

Later Tarrlok takes Korra to a vehicle and she's tied up.

"Where are you taking me?!" Korra demanded.

"Somewhere no one will ever find you, but don't worry, I won't kill you. Say goodbye to Republic City, Avatar. You'll never see it again." Tarrlok said but Korra fires a blast of fire from her mouth screaming in fury but Tarrlok closes the door and starts driving the car and leaves the city.

"You can't do this! LET ME OUT!" Korra shouted but Tarrlok kept driving out of Republic City despite the Avatar's cries.
