Gaining the Advantage

Tenzin was walking through the courtyard and then Korra came to him.

"Tenzin, can I talk to you?" Korra asked.

"Of course. Are you still feeling alright?" Tenzin asked.

"Yeah, I just…want to tell you about this vision I had." Korra said.

"What is it?" Tenzin asked.

"When I was trapped in that box, I tried to meditate, like you said, but when I did, I couldn't master it. It didn't feel right, so I started thinking about my friends and much they mean to me. When I did, I felt peace in me and then I started talking to Aang and asked for his help. Has this ever happened?" Korra asked.

"I'm not sure. Maybe you just meditated differently, but whatever happened, I'm glad you're still alright?" Tenzin said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Just then Lin comes out.

"You wanted to see me?" Lin asked.

"I'll leave you two alone." Korra said leaving.

"Lin, um…I-I need to ask you a favor. It would mean the world to me…but I-I know it could be a potentially awkward situation; furthermore…" Tenzin was cut off.

"Just spit it out already!" Lin said impatiently.

"Will you stay and watch over Pema and the children while I meet the council? With everything that has happened lately, I want to be sure my family is in safe hands." Tenzin said.

"What about our son?" Lin asked, "Surely he can protect the kids and Pema."

"Kota is tending to Asami," Tenzin said, "it is regarding the whole Mako and Korra incident."

Lin later sighed and smiled at Tenzin, "Of course I'll help, old friend." Lin said placing her hand on Tenzin's shoulder.

"I didn't realize you two were OUT here." A voice said and they see Pema holding Meelo.

"Pema, yes. Lin has agreed to help out around here and keep an eye on things while I'm away." Tenzin said.

"Thank you! I could use the extra pair of hands. Would you mind giving Meelo a bath? He's filthy." Pema said giving the youngest Airbender to Lin who is reluctant while Meelo sticks his tongue out and blows a raspberry.

"This is not what I signed up for!" Lin yelled at Tenzin while holding Meelo away from her.

"Thank you, Lin!" Tenzin called while mounting on Oogi who flew off.

"I gotta poop! Really bad!" Meelo said, making Lin quickly metalbend a cable around him to avoid touching him while making a disgusted face and walks off.

'With Kota'

Kota and Asami were sitting together by the caves with Jinora and Ikki. The girls were tending to the bison calves while Kota was tending to his bison, Shorty.

While Asami was tending to the bison calves with Kota's sisters, Jinora decided to spark a conversation.

"So, how long have you known Koko?" Jinora asked.

Asami looked to Kota who was petting Shorty on his nose, "I've known Koko for over 13 years," Asami said, "why do you ask?"

"Just wondering," Jinora said, but Ikki later blurts something out.

"She wants to know if you like Koko or not!" Ikki said. Jinora glared at her sister but later looked to Asami who was looking at Kota once again. "To be honest, I've liked your brother. Despite how crazy he can be at times," Asami said, "But, he's caring, responsible, supporting, and he has always been there whenever I needed to talk, but I don't think I'm ready for another relationship yet."

The two sisters nodded as they later saw Kota walking to them, "What's going on here?" he asked in a teasing manner.

"We were talking about girl stuff," Jinora asked.

"Ahh, is that so?" Kota smirked as Ikki jumped into his arms and Jinora used airbending to sit on his shoulders. "Surely you guys weren't talking about me were ya?" Kota asked. They all shook their head and he knew they were lying, but he decided to let it slide. He put his sisters down and Jinora got off his shoulders, "Now beat it you two," he said in a joking matter. The two sisters giggled and skipped out of the caves, leaving Kota and Asami alone. She looked around the caves and was impressed with how Kota made it.

"I'm still impressed," Asami said, "You made this cave when you were 7 years old, how old were you when you started to earthbend?"

"Well, I was almost 6," Kota said, "when Dad found out I was an earthbender, I was trained under my mother and Dad would take me to Zaofu to train with Aunt Su and Grandma Toph whenever she was there."

"Apparently, your Seismic Sense is on par with your grandmother's. Is that true?" Asami asked.

Kota gave her a smile, "Well… from an early age, Dad tried to instill in me the importance of meditation and detaching myself from the world. He would tell me that the key to meditation was to focus inwards and ignore all distractions and stimulation from the outside world. But, I found that by doing the opposite of how Dad told me, by completely giving in to my earthbending in order to focus on the world around him, I was able to achieve a level of Seismic Sensing that Dad, Mom, and Aunt Su believed was on par with even grandma's. When I am in a state of meditation, I wasn't just 'seeing with my feet' anymore. I was able to FEEL every bit of earth within my range of observation as if it was a part of me."

Asami looked at Kota in surprise, she never saw him talk in that way. She knew he was smart, but his time during the United Forces proved that it really changed him. "I've never heard you talk that way before," Asami said.

"A lot has changed," Kota said, with a smile. He looked at Asami and held her hand, "I'm really glad you're here."

Asami smiled and held his hand back, "Me too."

'With Tenzin'

Tenzin lands onto the roof of city hall and gets off Oogi and walks around the dome where several workers are cleaning glass windows and they nod as Tenzin walks by but then stops as he hears electricity fizzing and ducks a surprise attack as an electric disk flies over his head and spins around to see another electric disk coming at him but it misses as he lands on his feet as the workers take out electric gloves and bolas revealing they are Equalists.

The Equalists attack Tenzin who dodges and Airbends himself into the air with an air spout sending the Equalists flying backwards against the concrete wall by a gust of wind but they hold onto their bolas as they are trapped by Tenzin's powerful wind making them release their grip and are sent flying onto a nearby rooftop and Tenzin lands back on the ground.

Just then the door opens revealing the page who comes running for the Airbender.

"Ah, I'm so relieved to see you!" The page said.

"The other council members. Are they alright?" Tenzin asked.

"I'm afraid not. Just received word from Chief Saikhan. They've all been captured." The page said, making Tenzin shocked.

"This can't be happening." Tenzin said.

"The leadership of Republic City is in your hands now." The page said holding his hand out to Tenzin but then they hear a sound of explosions nearby and run at the edge to see bombs falling onto the city from airships. "Oh, this is a tragic day!" The page said.

'With Kota'

Kota was walking down and stopped as he saw Mako coming out of Korra's room. Mako stopped and glared back at Kota, "What?" Mako said.

"You know why I'm here," Kota said.

"Look," Mako started, and he knew why Kota was in front of his face, "I know why you're here and I have no excuse but-"

"Be happy I'm not doing anything to you," Kota said, "Why did it take your brother to have Asami find out about you and Korra?"

Mako saw how mad Kota was and knew he had to be careful about what he would say, "Well…"

"Don't give me that," Kota said, bitterly, "I thought you would man up and own up to your actions, but it had to take your brother. Who I remind you is or I should say WAS less competent than you. Shit man, you don't know how much I want to fucking strangle you right now."

Mako felt the ground shake and looked to Kota, he realized that Kota was unintentionally creating an earthquake due to his rage.

"But, you know what? I won't do anything to you, for Asami," Kota said, he calmed down and the ground stopped shaking. He later turned away and walked out to see his mother, "What happened?" Lin asked.

Kota's angry expression was still painted on his face as he walked to his room, "Someone pissed me off."

Outside Lin, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and White Lotus sentries see Equalist airships flying over the city.

"Alright, kids, time to go inside." Lin said and the kids so what she says and Korra, Kota, Mako, Bolin, and Asami come running out.

"We heard explosions. What's going on?" Korra asked now, wearing her parka.

"Republic City is under attack." Lin said, making them shocked.

"Dad's still out there." Kota said.

"Then let's go," Mako said.

Kota, Mako, Asami, Bolin, and Korra went to the bison and the four sat on the passenger's sattle while Kota got on the bison's neck.

"Shorty, yip-yip!"

'With Hiroshi'

Meanwhile at an airship Hiroshi was looking at a photo of him, his wife, and Asami as a child. He later pulled out another photo and looked at a pre-teen Asami and a pre-teen Kota in formal attire as if they were at some formal event. He later tucked them away in his jacket pocket and joined Amon who was watching the city from the windows at the front of the airship.

"I've dreamed of this day for so long." Hiroshi said.

"Yes, the time has come for the Equalists to claim Republic City as their own." Amon said and they looked down at the city.

'With Krew'

Meanwhile from across the bay of Republic City as smoke rises and sirens are going off while explosions are occurring again the gang arrive at the docks and use Tenzin's boat to reach the city and they later disembark from the boat and begin finding the car and Kota's motorcycle.

"Where did you say you parked the car?" Asami asked.

"It's right around here somewhere. There it is!" Korra said pointing at the parked car which it hit a lamppost causing a dent and it's over the sidewalk.

"Wow, nice parking job." Asami said sarcastically.

"Hey, you guys were arrested and left me alone with the car. I made it very clear; I don't know how to drive." Korra said.

"All things considered, you did a great job. How are we gonna pay for all these parking tickets?" Bolin asked, removing the tickets from the windshield but Mako takes them, crumples them up, and then burns them with his fire making the younger brother gasp.

"Relax, the city's under attack. The police have more important things to worry about." Mako said.

"He's right about that," Kota said.

Asami takes her electric glove from the trunk of the car and puts it in her right hand.

"This should come in handy." Asami said.

Everyone gets in the car and Mako is about to sit in the front seat next to Asami who glares at the Firebender.

"Why don't you sit in the back, next to Korra?" Asami suggested bitterly.

"I think I will." Mako said in the same bitter tone and sits at the back while Kota looked at Asami, "How about Mako drives the car while Asami rides with me," Kota suggested.

Asami got out of the car and sat behind Kota, wrapping her arms around his torso, while Mako sat in the driver's seat.

"Is everything okay?" Korra asked.

"Yeah, everything's terrific." Mako said sarcastically and bitterly.

Kota looked behind his shoulder to see Asami with a depressed face, "Hey," Kota said, "Chin up, woman."

Asami looked up and smiled, "Thank you for that."

"Of course," Kota said back.

Meanwhile in the police headquarters in the control room Saikhan is in the control room.

"Chief! Air unit seven was just taken out by an Equalist airship. They crashed into the harbor." A telegraph operator informed.

"Send a river rescue unit!" Saikhan ordered.

"Chief, all the river rescue ships have been sabotaged!" A female operator informed.

"What?!" Saikhan asked shocked.

Just then Tenzin arrives.

"Chief Saikhan." Tenzin said.

"Tenzin, am I glad to see you. I was afraid you'd been captured too." Saikhan said.

"I'm the only council member left. What's the status?" Tenzin asked.

"Amon has launched simultaneous attacks across the boroughs. The police are trying to regain control, but we're spread too thin." Saikhan said.

"I need to send a wire." Tenzin said stroking his beard.

"To whom, Councilman?" The male telegraph operator asked.

"The general of the United Forces." Tenzin said.

Meanwhile in the halls of the police headquarters people run in both directions and smoke pours out of the air vents and people start coughing and fall.

"Councilman, you wire has been sent." The male operator informed.

"Chief, the phone lines just went dead!" The female operator said making both Tenzin and Saikhan shocked and just then an alarm goes off and the power goes out silencing the alarm.

Saikhan turns on a flashlight and gives one to Tenzin and they search the room and Tenzin sees smoke coming out from a vent.

"Saikhan, the vents." Tenzin said and Saikhan Metalbends the vents shut as people in the room are coughing. "We need to evacuate immediately. Everyone stay close to me." Tenzin said as the hallways are filled with smoke but Tenzin creates an air dome around him, Saikhan, and the workers and they later reach outside as Tenzin stops his Airbending but then mecha tanks arrive. "Not these mecha tanks again!" Tenzin said

The mecha tanks hold up magnetic arms and pulls the Metalbenders' uniforms and two Metalbenders are caught with the magnets but Tenzin tries to save Saikhan from being pulled with an air current but Saikhan gets captured as well.

Three mecha tanks deposit the uniforms into a truck while another mecha tank fires a pincer cable at Tenzin who Airbends at the cable and it wraps around the mecha tank but two more mecha tanks fire at Tenzin who deflects them with his Airbending but a mecha tank charges a pincer cable knocking the Airbender against a wall but Tenzin uses his air wheel to break the fall but he finds the trucks holding the metal cops and Saikhan driving away.

"Saikhan, no!" Tenzin said and then looks up to see a burning police airship falling from behind a building and also sees telegraph operators being captured by Equalists on city hall steps and Tenzin's vision starts to become blurry as a mecha tank gets close to him.

'With Kota'

Meanwhile Kota was driving his motorcycle with Mako following him, they were driving as fast as possible until they arrive at city hall which was being attacked by mecha tanks.

"Those bastards have my Dad," Kota said, seeing a truck of Equalists taking hostages and Tenzin is among them.

Mako hits the gas pedal and Bolin creates two ramps with earthbending making the car rise into the air. Kota got off the motorcycle and carried Asami bridal style as he earthbended a column to launch himself and Asami towards the Equalists.

The mecha tanks begin to attack them by unleashing extension cables at Mako and they electrocute him making the firebender scream in pain as electricity surges through his body but Kota platinumbended some shards through the cables breaking them and release Mako and then Kota delivers a powerful roundhouse kick at the mecha tank knocking it down but another mecha tank fires a cable at the earthbender, getting him in the gut making him fall to the ground, but he rolled down safely and recovered quickly.

With the earth ramp Korra runs up to one of the tanks and then delivers a water strike into the tank's exhaust outlet making it not attack allowing Bolin to unleash an earth pillar under the tank knocking it down.

Asami electrocutes Equalists taking Tenzin but two more Equalists are behind her but Kota delivers punches and kicks and then delivers strikes with shards with platinum, defeating them and Tenzin wakes up.

"Dad, you okay?" Kota asked.

"Yes, thank you." Tenzin said to his son.

Tenzin then joins the fight and against the last mecha tank and Kota gets in a Southern Praying Mantis stance with his eyes closed.

He turned to his left and shot out three earth columns and then followed another attack, making branches of earth sticking out of them. He later reversed the motion and made an earth line to his right at a mecha tank and then levitated several small rocks and tried to compress them. He then proceeds to firing the compressed rocks at another tree and ripped holes into one of them. He later ran to another tank and grabbed the cable as he starts wrapping it around the tank, allowing Korra to knock it down with waterbending.

Above an airship Hiroshi watches the fight via telescope and is disgusted.

"Tenzin has escaped once again. I can't stand to see Asami fighting alongside those… benders!" Hiroshi said, but he later looked to see the son of Tenzin protecting Asami and his expression softened. 'At least Kota is protecting her.'

"You will have your daughter back." Amon said.

"What about Kota?" Hiroshi said.

"Once I purify his bending, I will hold my promise to not harm him," Amon said, "then he can live a peaceful life with you and your daughter."

The mecha tanks are finally defeated and they are broken down.

"I dunno about you, but I dig this Team Avatar power!" Bolin said.

Kota chuckled and put a hand on his shoulder, "You got potential, kid. Maybe after this is over I can teach you a thing or two."

"Yes, thank you!" Bolin exclaimed in excitement, looking forward to training under a Beifong who happens to be the grandson of Avatar Aang.

"Are you alright, Tenzin?" Korra asked.

"I'm fine, thanks to you kids. Another moment later, and I would have been on my way to Amon." Tenzin said.

"Uh, guys… look." Mako said pointing at Air Temple Island and there are Equalists airships heading for it.

"Oh, no…" Tenzin said horrified.

"Shit…" Kota said, sharing his father's expression.

'At Air Temple Island'

The lieutenant hatches open the door of the airship and he and a group of chi-blockers look down as a metal hook and a cable fire from above their heads and attach to the temple's stone steps and chi-blockers use harnesses to slide down the cable to the island and White Lotus sentries guarding the island charge forward to confront them.

Meanwhile Lin sees airships and prepares herself to fight the Equalists and Pema, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo stand with her.

"Everyone, hide inside and remain calm." Lin said but then Pema starts screaming in pain. "Pull it together, Pema! Didn't I just say 'remain calm'?" Lin asked.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Ikki asked.

"The baby's coming!" Pema said shocking them.

"Oh, no!" Jinora said.

"Not now, baby!" Meelo said.

Two female Air Acolytes rush over to Pema and lead her inside.

The White Lotus sentries watch as chi-blockers run up the steps and they start bending at them with their own elements as a cable from a second airship buries itself in the steps below them and more chi-blockers swing down and follow the lieutenant as Lin stands ready.

The lieutenant and a group of chi-blockers race up the steps and charge at Lin who uses her cables to take down two chi-blockers before grabbing another one with the cable but then an Equalist runs up to her but she intercepts with an earth column and then bends out another earth column and shoots it to an Equalist's face and then Lin slams the ground creating three earth columns sending the Equalists into the air.

Meanwhile Pema is in bed as an Air Acolyte puts a cloth on her forehead.

"The children, where are they?" Pema asked.

"Don't worry. They're in the other room, totally safe." A female Air Acolyte said.

Back outside Lin is fighting the lieutenant who intercepts her cables with his batons and sends a current through them to knock her over and the lieutenant stands over her and raises his electric kali stick.

"Stay away from my big brother's mom!" Jinora yelled from behind while flying with her glider and then used it to blow wind at the lieutenant away over a nearby roof.

"Jinora, you shouldn't be here!" Lin said.

Just then Ikki arrives on her air scooter and knocks several Equalists over.

"Get off our island!" Ikki yelled, knocking more Equalists and joined Jinora and Lin.

"Girls, you need to get back inside THIS instant!" Lin yelled.

Just then Meelo jumps down from the roof.

"Taste my fury!" Meelo yelled, farting on an Equalist's face knocking him out.

"Meelo, be careful!" Lin called but Meelo sends three air blasts from his hands and rear and then makes a small air shield around himself to send remaining Equalists flying and makes an awkward face. "Never mind." Lin said.

Later the Equalists are bound in a row in front of Lin, the Air children, and the White Lotus sentries.

"Take these Equalists and lock them in the temple's basement!" Lin ordered and the White Lotus obeyed. "Nice work, kids." Lin said.

Just then Oogi comes down to the courtyard.

"Dad!" Jinora cheered as Oogi lands and they get off the bison.

"Oh, thank goodness you're alright!" Tenzin said, hugging his children.

"We caught the bad guys." Meelo said, climbing onto Tenzin's shoulder and pulling on his father's head.

"You let them fight?! Do you realize what could have happened?" Tenzin asked.

"I would have been toast if it weren't for your kids. You should be proud. Like with our son, you taught them well." Lin said and Tenzin smiles at his children who smile back. "Go on, be with your wife." Lin said.

When Tenzin ran off, Kota and the Krew were riding on Shorty as he came down.

"Koko!" the three younger siblings of the earthbender hugged Kota as he landed down.

"I'm glad you guys are okay!" Kota said as he hugged his siblings.

"You four may want to see Pema," Lin said, "you may have a new sibling."

Tenzin ran down the hall when he heard crying.

"Pema!" Tenzin says and arrives at the room where he finds Pema holding a newborn baby.

"Tenzin." Pema said.

"I'm here, Pema." Tenzin said, sitting next to his wife.

"Our new son." Pema said handing the baby boy to Tenzin who carries him.

"Hello." Tenzin said and Kota, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo peer into the room. "Come, meet your new brother." Tenzin said.

"A brother? Well, it's about time." Meelo said.

"I'm here, you know?" Kota said to Meelo.

"Welcome! I'm Ikki, and this is Jinora and Meelo. This big guy is your big big brother Koko! He is an awesome earthbender," Ikki said, pulling Kota closer to them, "we have a super great family and we're so happy that you're a part of it." Ikki said.

"What're you gonna name him? Can I pick?" Jinora asked.

"We already chose a name." Pema said.

"Rohan." Tenzin said. He later looked to his eldest son with a smile and handed Kota the baby. Kota looked at Rohan as the baby smiled.

"Hey little guy, I'm Koko, your big big brother," Kota said. He looked to Asami who was next to him and her heart melted as she went closer to Kota and his new baby brother. Lin looked at the two and smiled, thinking that those two would make a great couple and would have an amazing family.

Kota later looked to Lin who rubbed his hair gently as she remembered those memorable times that he was so young.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt, but... more air ships are coming." Korra said in sadness.

"Everything's not going to be fine, is it Koko?" Ikki asked in a sad tone.

Kota shook his head as he handed his newborn baby brother back to Tenzin.

Everyone exits outside to see more airships heading their way.

"What do you want to do, Tenzin?" Korra asked in worry.

Tenzin sighed heavily, "I need to protect my family and get them as far away from this conflict as possible." He said as he looked at Lin and Kota, "If Amon got his hands on your brother and sisters... I hate to even think of it." He said to Kota.

"If you're leaving, then I'm going with you." Lin said.

"But-" Tenzin tried to argue, but Lin cut him off.

"No arguments, you and Kota's siblings are the last air benders. There's no way in the world I'm letting Amon take you're bending away." She stated in defiance.

"Thank you Lin." Tenzin said as he turned to Korra.

"Korra, I want you and the rest to leave the island and hide for the time being." Tenzin said.

"I'm not giving up." Korra argued

"I'm not asking you to. I have sent word to the United Forces. They will be here soon and once my family is safe, I will return. With the reinforcements we can turn the tide in this war." Tenzin reasoned.

"What your saying is... we need to be patient." Korra said in a dejected tone.

The monk rested a hand on her shoulder, "Your learning well." He said

Korra gave him a small smile as they prepared to leave.

Korra hugged Tenzin while he returned it.

"Stay safe Korra."

"You too." She said back.

He later pulled back and went to Kota and Lin.

"Mom, take care of Shorty," Kota said

Lin looked to his son and smiled, "Of course."

He later looked to his father, "Aunt Su said you and everyone else is more than welcome to take refuge in Zaofu for the time being."

"Thank you," Tenzin said to his son.

Kota later looked to his mother, "I know you and Aunt Su aren't on good terms, but can you be a little bit laxed?"

Lin sighed, "Alright…"

The three got in a group hug.

"Stay safe for us," Lin said.

"Will do," Koda said.

Lin and Tenzin later looked at their son with a smile.

"We love you, son," Tenzin said.

"Love you guys too," Kota said back with a smile.

Lin and Tenzin let go of their son and went on to the bison with Lin getting on Shorty.

"Oogi, yip-yip." Tenzin said and the bison took off with the air acolytes on another bison.

"Shorty, yip-yip," Lin said, making her son's bison fly off as well.

Airships started to follow the flying bison, but one remained behind.

Chi-blockers jumped down the railing cable attached to the island and the White Lotus Sentries guarded Korra and the rest.

"Go, we'll hold them off." One of them ordered and the group started to run.

"Guys climb on." Korra said as Mako, Bolin, Kota, and Asami jumped onto Naga.

"Mustache guy!" Bolin exclaimed as the Lieutenant came sliding down the mountain side.

Naga jumped into the air as the Lieutenant did and batted him away with one of her paws as he fell down the cliff and into a tree.

'Ouch I bet that's gonna leave a mark.' Kota though as he cringed from seeing that fall.

"Nice one Naga." Korra compliment.

They jumped into the water and Koda and his riders followed as they latched onto Naga's saddle and Korra water bent an air bubble around them as they headed for land.

'With Tenzin'

Tenzin and his family are flying away but then an Equalist airship comes and attacks and shoots a giant net at Oogi but Lin and shorty flew behind them and metalbends her cable to destroy the net and then wraps her cable around the rope and then looks at the family with sad eyes as they look at the airship with fear.

She later looked to Shorty and petted him, "Stay with Tenzin, okay?"

Her son's bison roared and she later looked to Tenzin and his family.

"Whatever happens to me, don't turn back!" Lin yelled. She later looks at Tenzin one last time with a sad smile, "Tell our son I love him."

"Lin, what are you doing?!" Tenzin asks but Lin jumps off Shorty and reels herself up and lands on the airship.

Lin starts ripping off a large section of the airship's metal skin and an explosion occurs and the ship starts falling into a harbor below but Lin catapults herself to the next airship and starts ripping apart the airship but then Equalists come and wrap their bolas around her and she is electrocuted and is now unconscious and the family look back shocked.

"Koko's mom is my hero." Meelo said in admiration.

"Yes, she is." Tenzin said sadly as Oogi kept flying with Shorty following behind.

'At the High Seas'

A cultured looking man in a red military uniform stood at the top of a ship.

"General, I just received a wire from the Avatar and former Admiral Beifong. The Avatar said Amon and his forces have gained control of the city. While Admiral Beifong has stated that he managed to get most of the civilians to safety. How do you wish to respond?" The crewman asked.

"Tell them we will be arriving in three days time and I look forward to winning back Republic City... together." The man commented.

"As you wish General Iroh." The soldier said saluting, but looked worried, "Also the Admiral sent along a personal message."

"What does it say?" Iroh asked

The soldier gulped, "This is his words not mine sir. Ehem, 'to his Royal emoness the Third, move your ass you slowpoke.' End of message sir."

Iroh sighed and said, "Yep... that's Admiral Kota for you." As he palmed his face, 'I am not emo.' He thought to himself.

'With Lin'

It was raining heavily as Lin was brought in front of Amon after she had been captured while taking down an Equalist airship.

She looked ragged as she looked up to see Amon looking down at her like he was about to pass judgment.

"Tell me where the Avatar is and I'll let you keep your bending while leaving your son out of it." he said

"I won't tell you anything you monster." Lin answered with a sneer.

"Very well then, you've made your choice." Amon said as he walked behind her and held her head as he pressed his thumb to her forehead.

Lin closed her eyes as Amon took her bending.

She fell to the ground and with her last breath before she passed out, she said, "I'm sorry Kota..." as she thought about her son.

'With Krew'

Korra looked as Air Temple Island was taken over and Mako placed a hand on her shoulder.

"C'mon Korra, we gotta get going." Mako said and Korra nodded.

The group had a good look at the island as they saw it getting taken over.
