The White Lotus has honored my family by coming. Thank you.
SSenna
Welcome. [a shield falls off the wall in the background]
WLWhite Lotus Leader
We have investigated many claims, both here and in the ... Northern Tribe. All have turned out to be false.
SSenna
Then you should be happy to know your search has come to an end.
WLWhite Lotus Leader
What makes you so sure your daughter is...the one?
SSenna
Korra, please come in here.
[Korra enters by Earthbending the wall away]
I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!
[After watching Korra face her Firebending test]
KKatara
She's strong.
WLWhite Lotus Leader
She lacks restraint.
Woo-hoo! Hey, why all the doom and gloom, people? We should be celebrating! Three elements down, one to go!
FMFirebending Master
You're getting ahead of yourself as usual, Korra. We haven't decided if you passed your Firebending test yet.
WLWhite Lotus Leader
And ever since you were a little girl, you've excelled at the physical side of bending and completely ignored the spiritual side. The Avatar must master both.
I... haven't ignored it, it just doesn't come as easy to me. But that's why I should start training with Master Tenzin immediately. He's Mr. Spiritual!
Naga! You should've seen it. I kicked some Firebender butt, and I passed!
[over radio] I'm so happy to be here! Thank you, Republic City!
[over radio] Alright, that's all the questions we... [Radio is turned off by Lieutenant]
LLieutenant
Amon, how do you want to handle this?
[staring at a giant map of the Avatar world] So, the Avatar has arrived early. It looks like we'll have to accelerate our plans. [he turns to face the Lieutenant]
So my mother informed my that you've never been able to airbend before.
Yeah, but I don't know why. The other elements came so easily to me, but every single time I've tried airbending [sticks out her tongue] nothing.
It's perfectly alright, you just need to be patient. Often the element that is most difficult for the Avatar to master is the one most opposite to the Avatar's personality. For Aang, it was earthbending.
Well, I'm about as opposite an airbender as you can get.
That was a 2000 year old historical treasure. What... What is *wrong* with you?!
?
TToza
Hey, what are you doing in my gym?
Uh, I was just looking for a bathroom, and got lost.
TToza
Ah, the old "I had to pee" excuse. You know, I'm sick and tired of you kids sneaking in without paying. I'm taking you to security.
Korra': No, wait--
There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you. It's alright, Toza, she's with me.
Yeah, I'm with him.
So, you see, we're together.
Well not "together"-together. More like friends.
Right, friends. No, no, I didn't mean to imply-
Oh, you implied it.
I've been immersed in bending my entire life and I never learned how to move like that. It's like there's a whole new style here. Think you could show me a few tricks?
Ab-so-lutely.
Right now? Come on, Bolin.
Just ignore him. Yeah, I can show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my Earthbending would translate to your Waterbending, but we'll figure it out.
Won't be a problem. I'm actually a earthbender.
I'm sorry. No, no, I didn't mean to assume... cause I was just figuring, with your Water Tribe get-up, that you are a Water Tribe... gal
No, you're right. I'm a waterbender and a firebender.
Hm, I'm very confused right now.
You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot.
Both are true.
No... way! The Avatar!
Ugh! I can't bend... I can't bend!
Calm down; it'll wear off. Those guys were chi blockers. They're Amon's henchmen.
Amon? That anti-bending guy with the mask?
Yeah. He's the leader of the Equalists.
What do they want with the Triple Threats?
Whatever it is... it can't be good. I can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!
(touches his arm) Mako. We are going to save your brother. I promise you.
My quest for equality began many years ago. When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich and none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for the Firebender who extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did that Firebender took my family from me. Then, he took my face. I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since. As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City. And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world, but she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought is suffering. It has been the cause of every war in every era, but that is about to change. I know that you all have been wondering "What is the Revelation?" You are about to get your answer. From the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me. They said the Avatar has failed humanity, which is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make equality a reality; the power to take a person's bending away, permanently.
(to Mako) That's impossible- there's no way!
This guy's insane.
Now, for a demonstration. Please welcome "Lightning Bolt" Zolt, leader of the Triple Threat Triad and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City.
ZZolt
(in response to the booing crowd) Ah, boo yourself!
(sees Bolin among the captives) There's Bolin.
Wait! We can't fight them all. We need to be smart about this.
Then come up with a game plan, team captain.
Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing non-benders, but his reign of terror... is about to come to an end. Now, in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending.
ZZolt
(grins) You're gonna regret doin' that, pal!
ZZolt
What... what did you do to me?!
Your firebending is gone... forever. The era of bending is over. A new era of equality has begun!
What do you think of my little operation here?
It's very impressive Mr. Sato.
Please, call me Hiroshi. So, I understand you're dirt-poor.
Uh...
Young man, it is nothing to be ashamed of. I too came from humble beginnings. Why, when I was your age I was a shoe-shiner and all I had to my name was an idea: The Sato Mobile. Now I was fortunate enough to meet someone who believed in me and my work ethic. He gave me the money I needed to get my idea of the ground and I build the entire Future Industries empire from that one selfless loan.
Dad, stop bragging. Just tell Mako the good news.
What good news?
Well, my daughter passionately told me all about your hard-earned success in the Pro-Bending Arena, and about your team's current financial stumbling block. Now I'd hate to see you lose your chance at winning the championship, just because you're short a few yuans. That's why I'm going to sponsor the Fire Ferrets in the tournament.
Are you serious?
He's serious. My dad is going to cover your ante for the championship pot.
That... that is good news!
There's just one catch; you all have to wear the Future Industries logo on your uniforms.
I'll tattoo it on my chest if you want, sir!
I see Tarrlok's gifts are getting more and more extravagant.
(practicing her airbending maneuvers) Yeah. That guy really doesn't know how to take no for an answer.
Korra... are you doing all right?
Yeah! I'm... fine.
Why don't you take a break? (he sits down, Korra joins him) I'm glad you turned down Tarrlok, but I just wanted to make sure your decision was for the right reason.
I'm just really... focused on my airbending right now, is all.
(unconvinced) Right, that's... what you said. You know, it's okay to be scared. The whole city is frightened by what's been going on. The important thing is to talk about our fears, because if we don't, they can throw us out of balance. (stands and walks away) I'm always here for you, if you want to talk.
This is my daughter Asami.
It's lovely to meet you. Mako told me so much about you.
Really? Because he hasn't mentioned you at all. How did you two meet?
[oblivious to tension] Asami crashed into him on her moped.
Avatar Korra has bravely answered the call to action. With the two of us leading the charge, Republic City has nothing to fear from Amon and the Equalists.
JJournalist
Question for the Avatar: Amon remains at large. Why have you failed to locate him?
You wanna know why? Because Amon is hiding in the shadows like a coward. [grabs the microphone] Amon, I challenge you to a duel. No task force, no chi blockers, just the two of us tonight at midnight on Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing, if you're man enough to face me.
