(stunned) Bumi, how did you manage to take out this entire encampment on your own?
I did it all with my trusty flute, and... ah, never mind, you wouldn't believe it anyway.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Your time has come! I'm locking you away for another 10,000 years Vaatu!
Jinora's spirit, do you hear me? It's your Uncle Bumi.
Ah, this isn't working. We can't just randomly wander the spirit world, call out for Jinora, and expect to find her!
We just need to employ the simple rules of tracking. First we locate her footprints... then we follow them.
Do you even know what spirit footprints look like? Do spirits even leave footprints? Face it, your tracking skills won't work in the spirit world. Let me try something. [sits down and meditates] Ommmm... Jinora is over there. I feel a lot of spiritual energy coming from that direction.
We're in the spirit world. There's spiritual energy in every direction!
[after fusing with Vaatu] We are now one! Now a new age of spirits and humans shall begin and I will lead them into it as the new Avatar!
Well I'm the old Avatar and my era is not over yet!
We're walking in circles! I've seen that same spirit mushroom five times!
That's not the same mushroom.
SMSpirit Mushroom
Yes, I am.
See? Even it knows we're lost.
Oh, sure, listen to a fungus over your own brother. [they hear a noise]
What's that?
Mushroom, is that you?
SMSpirit Mushroom
Nope. Wasn't me.
What kind of prison doesn't have any bars or walls? We could walk right out of here.
The fog of lost souls is a spirit prison for humans. I read about it in an ancient text. The fog is actually a spirit... that infects your mind and slowly drives you mad, imprisoning you in your own darkest memories.
How long can you be trapped in here?
ZZhao
I am Zhao the Conqueror! I am the Moonslayer! I will capture the Avatar! I am Zhao the Conqueror! I am the Moonslayer! I will capture the Avatar!
Hopefully we're not trapped in here as long as that guy.
ZZhao
[sees Tenzin] You! You're him! The last airbender!
No! Get off me!
ZZhao
You've grown... but I will still defeat you! [Bumi and Kya pull him off Tenzin and throw him back] Come back, Avatar! Face me! I am Zhao the Conqueror! I will capture you! Victory will be mine!
[after being trapped by Eska and Desna] Please, let us out.
His groveling is pathetic.
But I do enjoy the sweet scent of desperation.
Come on! Your dad has become an evil monster. He's trying to bring on eternal darkness! Why would you protect someone who doesn't care about you at all?
Father was going to let me expire when we tried to open the northern portal... Perhaps we should rethink our position.
Yes!
No. Don't listen to him. His words are poisoning your mind. [Bolin starts crying] What's with this outburst of emotion?
I'm sorry, I can't help it. It's just so sad... that I'll never get to be with you again.
What? Explain yourself further.
Eska, I've always loved you, and I've always wanted to be with you... but now that the world is ending, I'm never gonna get that chance.
We could have been together, but you left me at the altar.
I was scared! I was scared of my true feelings for you. I should have never left you! I'm sorry. And I'm sorry that we'll never have a chance to rekindle the dying ember that was our love into a... Big fire of love flames.
[kisses Bolin, then releases him and Mako} You'll never defeat my father. But should you survive, perhaps we can spend eternal darkness together.
Wow, that was the best acting I've ever seen. You completely fooled her!
[insincere] Yeah, right, that... that was acting.
[deadpan] They will certainly perish.
Korra this fight is not yet over.
Raava?
Yes Korra
Vaatu cannot win. So do not give up!
RRoku
Do not give in at all costs!
KKyoshi
Do not give in to 10,000 years of darkness and chaos.
RARaava, and all past Avatars[all together]
For you are the one true Avatar!
KWKorra[with Raava's voice encompassing her own]
Darkness cannot win. You cannot win!
[Tenzin is slowly being driven mad by his own fear]
I am the son of Avatar Aang. I am the hope for future generations of airbenders. I am the son of Avatar Aang!
Hello, my son.
Dad, I've failed you. I am no spiritual leader, and I've let the world down. I'll never be the man you were.
You are right. You are trying to hold on to a false perception of yourself. You are not me, and you should not be me. You are Tenzin.
Tenzin': I am not a reflection of my father. I am Tenzin. I am Tenzin!
Korra!
He's got the Spirit of Light!
[Cut back to Jinora, Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi in the Spirit World]
The world is in trouble.
What are you talking about? How do you know?
I can feel it.
What happened?
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]
General Iroh, are your ships in position?
IIroh
[over the radio] Yes, Mr. President, but I need to know what kind of enemy we're dealing with.
UUnaVaatu
It's time to take back the physical world!
IIroh
FIRE!
Monster attack!
Were you able to stop Unalaq and Vaatu?
No. They fused, then Vaatu ripped Raava right out of me and destroyed her. Vaatu won.
[scared] No. I am too young to live through ten thousand years of darkness! Korra, can't you talk to one of your past lives or something?!
When Vaatu destroyed Raava, he destroyed my connection to the past Avatars too.
If that's true, then -
The cycle is over. I'm the last Avatar. [Tears up] I'm so sorry, Tenzin. [She starts crying]
[To Tenzin] She needs you now, more than ever.
The other Avatars may not be able to help you anymore, but perhaps I can.
[resigned] No one can help me now.
I know I haven't been the best mentor to you. But I realized it was because I had a lot of spiritual growth to do myself. There may still be a way for you to stop Vaatu.
How?
Let go of your attachment to who you think you are, and connect with your inner spirit.
Haven't you heard anything I said? Raava is gone. I'm not connected to her spirit anymore.
I'm not talking about Raava. Raava is not who you are. Come with me, I need to show you something.
Why are you showing me Vaatu's prison?
Because this tree had a history long before it held Vaatu. This is the Tree of Time, and the legends say its roots bind the spirit and physical worlds together.
And you think this tree can help me somehow?
Yes. I have read that long ago, the ancients would meditate beneath this tree and connect with the great cosmic energy of the universe.
These are my memories.
The Tree of Time remembers all. Korra, the most powerful thing about you is not the spirit of Raava, but your own inner spirit. You have always been strong, unyielding, fearless.
Avatar Wan.
Before he fused with Raava, he was just a regular person.
But, he was brave, and smart, and always wanted to defend the helpless.
That's right. He became a legend because of who he was, not what he was. He wasn't defined by Raava any more than you are.
Everyone in Republic City is in danger!
You have to help them, Korra.
How? They're half-way around the world.
Do as the ancients once did. Connect to the cosmic energy of the universe. Don't bend the elements, but the energy within yourself.
[pause] You really think I can do this?
I have no doubt.
[hugging Tenzin] Thank you for not giving up on me.
I'm proud of you.
You will always hold a special place in the organ that pumps my blood.
Now that you're bonded with Raava again, are you also reconnected to your past lives?
[pause] No. I think that link is gone, forever.
I see. Why don't you close the portals, then we'll head home.
Maybe I shouldn't.
What do you mean?
What if Unalaq was right when he said the Avatar shouldn't be a bridge between the two worlds? What if Avatar Wan made a mistake when he closed the portals? What if humans and spirits weren't meant to live apart? [to Tenzin] Well, what do you think I should do?
[places his hand on Korra's shoulder] I think you should trust your instincts. There is nothing else I can teach you. You are the Avatar. Whatever your decision, I support you.
