MakoKorra!
He's got the Spirit of Light!
[Cut back to Jinora, Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi in the Spirit World]
What are you talking about? How do you know?
It's Korra. [Jinora hands her father a butterfly spirit] This light spirit will guide you out of the Spirit World. [She begins to fade away] I have to go help.
Jinora, wait! [she vanishes]
[Back in the physical world, Unalaq and Vaatu grow to enormous size, shocking Korra, Mako, Bolin, and Desna and Eska, who look on in horror. Unalaq and Vaatu, now known as Unavaatu, speak in unison]
UUnavaatu
Now, ten thousand years of darkness begins!
[Using the spirit lights, Unavaatu teleports away, sending out a shockwave that knocks out everyone present]
Whew, I'm getting hungry. [gasps] We might have to hustle up a little breakfast with the old fruit stand scam. Come on. You remember how it goes. I push you into the stand, you scream, I pretend to faint.
Mako
I don't want any part of this. Besides, look at this fruit. It's disgusting. We don't want to steal this.
TTu
Hey, you trying to steal my fruit?
Mako
No, I just said I don't want any of this rotten fruit.
TTu
Oh, you too good for my fruit? This is the best fruit on the block.
Mako
So you want me to steal it?
TTu
Just try it, buddy. [Flexes his arm muscle, kisses it] Go ahead.
I'm confused. Are we stealing the fruit or not?
TTu
I knew it, thieves! [tackles Mako and Bolin]
Mako! Bolin! You're okay. Where have you been?
We chased Kai... Train... Slipped away... Lower ring... Slept in trash pile... Met our family... Grandma, tears... Mako's scarf... Earth queen lying.
Mako
The Earth Queen's been secretly taking airbenders and forcing them into her army.
She was lying. I knew it I swear, the next time I see her...
I just got word from Lord Zuko and Tonraq.
Why is Lord Zuko with my dad?
Zaheer and the others have escaped.
Because Zaheer is an airbender now.
All right, hold on. Will you quit ignoring me and tell me what's going on? Who's Zaheer? Why is my life in danger?
Shortly after we found out you were the Avatar, Zaheer and three others attempted to kidnap you. Luckily, your father, Lord Zuko, Chief Sokka, and I were there to stop them. We apprehended the criminals and locked them away in prisons designed to impair their abilities.
So that's why you and my dad sheltered me away.
It was for your own safety.
Mako
Why were they trying to kidnap Korra?
We spent 13 years interrogating them, but they never broke. To this day, no one knows what their motive was.
Sorry we're late, everyone.
Great question, Asami. I mean, what are any of us doing here? Wow. Food for thought. Anyhoo, how's our company doing?
You mean my company? Future Industries reverted back to me after you plotted to abduct the president.
Allegedly plotted to abduct the president. Never convicted.
Mako
Uh, that's because you escaped prison.
No, the universe decided to set me free. So I looked up my old friend Suyin here, pitched her a few ideas, and bam! We're in business together.
Varrick's heading up my new technology division.
I've seen the future, and the future is magnets! I'm working on a high-speed rail that'll revolutionize transportation and shipping as we know it. But that's not all! I'm...
All right, enough! I'm trying to keep the Avatar safe, and you're harboring a criminal?
Ease up, Lin. Sure, Varrick's made a few mistakes in his past, but that doesn't mean he should pay for it the rest of his life. My chef was a pirate, but now he's a culinary master. People change.
You haven't. [storms out]
Um, so what happened to you two? Where have you been?
Mako
We were captured by Zaheer and taken to Ba Sing Se. We were there when the Earth Queen was overthrown.
What? How did you escape?
Mako
Zaheer let us go.
What? Why would he do that?
Because he wanted us to find you and deliver a message.
Mako
Zaheer's on his way to the Northern Air Temple, as we speak. He says he's gonna wipe out the new Air Nation, and everything in it... unless you turn yourself over to him.
(angrily) Zaheer's threatening innocent lives just to get to me!
Mako
(darkly) He's already taken out the Earth Queen. I don't think he bluffs.
Drop your staff and surrender yourself! (long pause) Don't make me come get you!
(via radio) Mako! What's going on?
Mako
They're here, but so is the lavabender!
Tell Ghazan to let the Airbenders go!
Not until you turn yourself over. This isn't a negotiation! (long pause, Zaheer raises his radio) Wipe them out!
No! Wait! I'm coming. (she walks towards them)
(into his radio) Stand down.
(smirks) And don't bother trying to Metalbend out of these. They're platinum. (she pushes Korra towards Zaheer)
(to Ghazan, via radio) We have her.
It's okay, Tenzin. We're about to get you out of here-
Mako
(deflects her attack with Firebending and grabs his radio) Korra! It was a trick, they're not here! Don't turn yourself over!
(to Zaheer, furious) We had a deal!
Mako
(to Lin, via radio) Chief, get Korra outta there, now!
(to her team) Go, go, go!
