[In a house, in the Snowey Mountains in the outskirts of Republic City, the basement] Tarrlok: *bloodbending Korra into a box of pure platinum* I'm sorry it had to happen like this.*he puts her into the box and locked the door shut before walking away* Korra: *sits down and starts meditating* Come on. Come on. [The next morning; in the Republic City Council Hall] Tenzin: *enters the hall* What happened here? Lin: I have no clue at all. Suru: *she looks down and sees a lightning glove on the floor next to a female sized hole* It seems like a fight has happened, and it involved Korra. Tarrlok: *enters the room* I know what happened. Last night, Korra and I fought against the Equalists. They overpowered us and took her. Tenzin: *his eyes open widely* Lin: Tenzin, do you know a way that we can find her? Tenzin: Hmm… The Moral Compass! We have to go let Korra's friends out of jail. Tarrlok: We aren't doing that! Suru: Sorry, sir, but we have to if we want to have a chance at defeating Amon. Tarrlok: I said no, and that's final! Lin: Why would you try to stop us unless it wasn't the Equalists who took her. It was you! Tarrlok: *slowly taking steps back whilst sweating* No, it couldn't be me… Tenzin: Yes, it could since you are the only supposed witness! Tarrlok: I… I… *he puts his hands out and bloodbends the three of them* Suru: *forcing her body to walk* I won't allow that to happen… Tarrlok: *lifts their bodies up and drops them into the ground, knocking them out* You idiots! *he runs out of the building* [Meanwhile, in the Republic City Prison] Alee: *meditating in his cell* Bolin: *watching him from his and Mako's cell* Uhm What is he doing? Mako: I don't know. *he sighs* Alee: *links his mind with Korra's mind* [In Korra's mind, it shows a memory from 42 years ago] Lee: *stretches his arms* You know sometimes I wonder why we still fight. We're like 40. Karu: *he enters the Republic City Council Hall* We have to run this trial fairly. *he looks at Toph* Toph. *looks at her finger* I see you took off your marriage ring. I didn't know you didn't care that much. Toph: *faces him* Yeah. I couldn't 'see' it anywhere. Besides, we don't even live together anymore. Sokka: *walks towards them* Come on, guys. We have a trial to get to. Aang: *walks into the room* Lee: *smiles* The GAang is back… minus Katara. Aang: *smiles* She is busy. Toph: Yes, she is Twinkle Toes. Aang: I'm 40, don't you think it's about time you stop with the nicknames? Toph: *shakes her head* [The trail of Yakone begins] Sokka: *standing on his council platform* Mr Yakone. You're a criminal known for his feats. You're convicted of trying to take iver Republic City and killing the Avatar. We understand that you're a water bender, and yet you caused serious problems for the Council men, Lee, and Karu. It was only with the help of the police that we were able to capture you. Yakone: *smiling in his seat and his hands handcuffed* I have done nothing wrong. I was just a businessman trying to make ends meat. Lee: I'm married to a psychopathic firebending genius who has taught me how to lie. And that man right there is lying. *he sees Azula in the audience and waves at her* Azula: *blows him a kiss* Sokka: I suppose you know that you're guilty without a shadow of a doubt… Yakone: *even with his hands cuffed he telepathically bloodbends everyone in the hall before walking over to Toph and forcing her to uncuff him* I'll be back for you all! *he runs out of the hall* Aang: *chases after him* Get back here, Yakone! Yakone: *turns and starts bloodbending Aang and forcing him to go downwards* I won't ever give up Avatar! Republic City will be mine! Aang: *struggling to move* I… can't… *he enters the Avatar state and breaks free from the bloodbending* I can't let that happen. *he punches Yakone down with airbending and traps him with earthbending* Yakone: *looks at Aang in fear* No, I'm not… Aang: *places his thumb and his index finger on top of Yakone's forehead and taking away his bending* [Korra enters her mindscape] Korra: *opens her eyes and looks at Alee* Alee? Alee: *looks at her with a smile* Hey. I'll find you, okay. Korra: *holds onto Alee* Tarrlok can bloodbend. Alee: It's fine I've got my grandpa, Lee's, ambition by my side… Korra: *kisses him in the lips* Alee: *kisses her back* [They both wake up from their different locations] Korra: *stands up as she hears someone enter the room* Who's out there. Tarrlok: It's only me. I'm wanted by the stupid council… Korra: Was Yakone your father? Tarrlok: *nods and sighs* Yes, he was. His idea of taking over was meaningless and not thought of properly, so i wanted to take over from inside. But no threat. I'll start over. I'll do it over and over again until I rule over this city. *he hears footsteps upstairs, and he runs there* Who's here!? Amon: *he stands there along with his subordinates* Tarrlok: *his eyes open in horror* Amon! *he stretches out his arms and starts bloodbending them, but he can only drop the subordinates* Amon: *forcing his body to endure as he steps closer to Tarrlok and knock him down* Now. *he places his thumb and index finger on his forehead and takes away his bending* Tarrlok: *screams in pain* Amon: Destroy the house and kill the Avatar. *he walks out of the house* [The subordinates all go ahead and start blowing up the house] Amon subordinate¹: *goes to basement and opens Korra's box* Get ready to die… *he opens the box completely and sees she's not in there* She's not in here… Korra: *from behind she kicks him into the box before limping out of the house* Amon: *enters the back of a truck with Tarrlok in arms as it drives away* Korra: *throws a weak punch as she falls onto the ground* Naga: *goes up to her whilst whining* Alee: *he gets off the back of Naga and picks up Korra* Korra: *opens her eyes* Alee… *she closes her eyes and goes outcold* [Later that night in Republic City] Korra: *opens her eyes and sees Mako* Mako… Mako: *places his hand on her face* It's okay. I'm here.
