Scenes with Vaatu 5

[to Raava and Vaatu] Stop, or you'll destroy everything!

This doesn't concern you, human!

It does when the lives of spirits and animals are in danger!

Vaatu

If you are a friend to the spirits, then use your fire to help me break free!

Don't involve the human! This is between us!

Vaatu

[frantically] Please! Save me! She has tormented me for ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years? [attacking Raava] Let him go!

[Wan weakens Raava's grip on Vaatu. Raava swats the young man away. Vaatu pulls further from Raava, until only one tendril holds the two spirits together. Wan, recovering, sees this and uses his firebending to separate the two spirits. Vaatu flies away from Raava, and stands atop a nearby mountain to address Wan.]

Vaatu

Thank you, human. You have preformed a great service for the spirits. [Vaatu flies away]

[to Wan] Do you realize what you've done?!

Yeah. I helped a spirit who was being bullied by you!

You are gravely mistaken. I was keeping him under control.

And what gives you the right?

You don't even know who I am, do you?

Should I?

Yes. My name is Raava. That spirit you freed is Vaatu. He is the force of darkness and chaos. I am the force of light and peace. Since the beginning of time, we have battled for the fate of this world, and for the past ten thousand years, I have kept darkness under control and the world in balance. Until you came along.

So, by freeing Vaatu, I let chaos into the world?

Precisely. The human and spirit realms are heading toward annihilation, and it's all your fault.

[cut back to Korra in the present day]

Korra

[quietly] Raava, I found you.

Vaatu

[Emerges from the spirit portal] Are you ready for our final battle, Raava? Thanks to our friend separating us, I think this time, I may be rid of you once and for all!

Before you get to her, you'll have to go through me!

Vaatu

[scoffs] No human can stand against me!

Haven't you heard the legends? I'm not a regular human anymore.

Vaatu

[To Wan] I lived ten thousand lifetimes before the first of your kind crawled out of the mud! [Blasts Wan] It was I who broke through the divide that separated the plane of Spirits from the material world! [Blasts Wan again] To hate me is to give me breath. To fight me is to give me strength. Now prepare to face oblivion!

Vaatu

The Harmonic Convergence is about to begin! The Era of Raava is over!

[As the Harmonic Convergence begins, Wan fuses his soul to Raava's spirit, becoming the first Avatar]

We are bonded forever.

[Entering the Avatar State, Wan makes quick work of Vaatu, trapping him inside an elemental sphere and imprisoning him within the Tree of Time]

This is your prison now, and I will close the portals so no human will ever be able to physically enter the Spirit World and release you.

The spirits must stop fighting with humans and return to their home in the Spirit World. I will teach men to respect the spirits so that balance will be maintained. I will be the bridge between our two worlds.

LTLion Turtle

The world is entering a new age. Our time protecting mankind is over. We will no longer give humans the power of the elements.

Different groups of people must learn to live together. This is my mission: to use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace.

[At the end of his life, and elderly Wan is lying alone on an abandoned battlefied and has one last conversation with Raava]

I'm sorry, Raava. I failed to bring peace. Even with Vaatu locked away, darkness still surrounds Humanity. There wasn't enough time.

Don't worry, we will be together for all of your lifetimes, and we will never give up. [Wan dies, and a glowing wisp leaves his mouth. The screen fades to white and a baby is heard crying.]

[Cut back to Korra in the present day. Her eyes glow white as she briefly enters the Avatar State and wakes up.]

Korra

I remember.

FSFire Sage

Do you know who you are?

Korra

My name is Korra. I'm the Avatar.

Unalaq

The Avatar is dead... and we cannot open the Spirit Portal. I have failed you, Vaatu.

Vaatu

You have not failed me... yet. The Avatar still lives.

Unalaq

...How do you know?

Vaatu

Even though my connection to Raava was severed, I can still feel her presence.

Unalaq

I'll find her.

Vaatu

The Avatar will find you. She has just entered the Spirit World.
