Shiro Shinobi: The Equalists are on the attack! The Lieutenant and his chi blockers invaded Air Temple Island and forced Tenzin and his family to flee! In the daring escape, Lin Beifong sacrificed herself and saved the airbenders, but she was captured and Amon took her bending away. Now, Team Avatar is in hiding as they await help from General Iroh and the United Forces.

Republic City

Republic City is filled with several Equalist airships while at City Hall, with Equalist airships and mecha tanks around it. Hiroshi Sato is standing on the front steps, addressing a large crowd.

Hiroshi Sato: "It is a glorious day, my Equalist brothers and sisters! Amon has torn down the tyrannical bending government!" He said as an aerial shot of the Pro-bending Arena with mecha tanks around it. "He has declared bending illegal..." He said as on Aang Memorial Island and the statue of Aang wearing a large Amon mask; Equalist banners are from Aang's staff and Air Temple island is covered in fog. "...and he has the Avatar on the run. Our great leader has a vision for the future. One day soon, bending will no longer exist and we will live in a world where everyone is finally equal! The United Forces are on their way right now to try and stop that dream. But we will prevail!" He shouted out a the crowd cheers loudly in response. Near the back, two chi blockers look at each other, one male, the other female, before they turn and walk away. They push aside a clump of bushes in Republic City Park and enter a small clearing with a large rock in the center. One earthbends the rock aside, revealing a hole, and both jump inside as the rock slides back over. Cut to the chi blockers, who have removed their masks and revealed themselves to be Korro and Y/n, walking down a dim hallway.

Korro: "Can you believe Hiroshi?! "The Avatar's on the run". I'm not running from anyone! Let's go back up there and knock some heads; they'll never know what hit 'em." He said angrily as he turns to go back to do that before Y/n placed her hand onto his shoulder..

Y/n: "Relax. General Iroh's coming with an entire fleet of battleships. Then Amon will be the one who's running." She said honestly as Korro frowns knowing that she was right.

Korro: "I hate this "being patient" stuff." He said seriously while he made Y/n scoff a laugh before both turn and walk on.

Asamir, Mako and Bolin, who are sitting on crates. Asamir is watching in amusement as Bolin plays with Pabu. Asamir glares as he hears Korro and Y/n approaching, before he, Mako and Bolin stand up and walk over to greet them.

Asamir: "You two were gone a while." He questioned suspiciously towards Y/n.

Y/n: "We were doing reconnaissance, Asamir." She said honestly annoyed with his additude towards her.

Asamir: "Whatever." He said irritated towards Y/n as Gommu thankfully broke through the tension that Mako, Bolin and Korro were seeing.

Gommu: "Welcome back! Hope you worked up an appetite, 'cause dinner is served." He said as he is then seen stirring a pot of stew and pouring some into a dish.

Korro: "Thanks so much for letting us hide out with you the past few days." He said honestly as he smiles towards Y/n. "Y/n wasn't kidding when she said she knows a friend who can help us out." He said as he alongside Y/n, Mako, Gommu, Bolin, and Asamir sitting at a table. Y/n and Asamir hold bowls of stew.

Gommu: Hands a bowl of stew to Korro. "Honored to oblige as well help out a friend of our dear helper here." He said as he gives a bowl to Bolin and fills it with stew before ruffling Y/n's hair. "My associates and I heartily oppose Amon's so-called "Equalist" policies." He said as a view of the alley is shown. "We got benders and nonbenders living together down here, but do you see us fightin'?" He said before he wraps his arms around himself. "No siree; we've figured out how to harmoniously co-exist." He said honestly as Y/n laughs softly before she eats gratefully.

Bolin: "You are a wise and noble hobo." He said as he eats some stew. "Mmmm. This is the best-tasting street gruel I've ever had. Seriously, and I've had my little sister's best cooking." He said honestly as Y/n playfully punches his arm.

Gommu: "I culled it from the finest dumpsters the city has to offer!" He said honestly as Asamir, who already has the spoon in his mouth. He eyes close and open with small beady eyes as the top half of his face turns green. He spits the food back into the bowl and coughs as he surreptitiously puts the food on the floor behind him while Pabu crawls up behind him and eats from the bowl.

Later that Night

Korro sitting next to Naga as he hears footsteps and looks up to see Y/n walking toward him.

Y/n: "Can't sleep either, Korro?" She asked Korro honestly knowing the last few days have been difficult for them all.

Korro: "No, I have this awful pit in my stomach." He said honestly towards Y/n before he pats the spot next to him for her to sit down.

Y/n: She smiled and quitely sits next to Korro. "Me too." She said honestly as she pulled her jacket closer to her body to keep her warm. "Especially after what happened to me a few days ago when you went missing." She said honestly before looking up at Korro. "What about you? You know you can tell me anything, Korro." She said honestly towards him.

Korro: He shrugs his broad shoulders as he spoke up. "It's so crazy. A few months ago I was in the South Pole practicing for my firebending test, and now I'm in the middle of an all-out war." He said as his false happy tone of voice became sad.

Y/n: "I know, we didn't even know each other then but now, I can't imagine my life without you in it." She said honestly as Korro looks down at her with a surpised face. "You're the most loyal, brave, and selfless person I've ever known, Korro." She said honestly as her cheeks flush with a light pink tint.

Korro: He gulps nervously as his cheeks turned a bright red tint of blush while he looked at Y/n. "I think you're pretty incredible too, but ... you already knew that." He said honestly as he and Y/n look at each other, but Y/n looks away abruptly.

Y/n: "I should probably try to get some sleep." She said honestly before standing up from the floor to walk over towards her sleeping area beside her brothers.

Korro: "Me too. Good night, Y/n." He said honestly

Y/n: "Good night, Korro." She said back quitely to nor wake up anyone as Korro leans back against Naga's side, looking sad.

Next Day at Republic City

Air Temple Island as airships fly overhead. Amon is waiting on a platform as the Lieutenant drags a blindfolded man up to him. The man is forced to his knees and has his blindfold removed as Amon approaches.

Amon: "You will now be cleansed of your impurity." He said as he stands behind the man, who watches with fear, and removes the man's bending; the policeman collapses and falls over from exhaustion. Turns to the Lieutenant. "Next." The Lieutenant nods and walks over to get the next victim, revealing a long line of benders, blindfolded and hands bounded, including the White Lotus sentries, waiting for Amon to strip them of their bending. Cut to the island as seen across Yue Bay through thick fog the next morning. Team Avatar is hiding in the drainage pipe.

Y/n: Stepping out and beckoning to the others. "Coast is clear." She said as the five run out of the pipe and climb an access stairway to an observation deck above. They crouch by the railing as Bolin scans the bay with a telescope.

Korro: "Once the United Forces arrive, we need to be ready to help in any way we can." He said seriously as Mako spoke up.

Mako: "They're here!" He said as Bolin gasps and places the telescope to his eye again.

Bolin: "Whoops!" He said as he flips telescope around while through the telescope view, Bolin catches sight of a dim shape through the mist of the battleships steaming into the harbor, before cutting to General Iroh at the head of one.

Iroh: "Hmm...Amon had to know we were coming. So why aren't we meeting any resistance?" He said as across the bay, Korro and Y/n felt like something wasn't right.

Korro: "Wait a second ... where are the Equalist airships?" He questioned as Y/n snatches the telescope from Bolin and runs to the end of the deck, scanning the city alongside Korro.

Y/n: "I don't see any mecha tanks, either." She said seriously as she turns to look at Korro in concern who looks back the same way at her while underneath the water beneath one of the battleships; bubbles and an underwater mine are floating up.

Iroh: "Something's not right." He said as an explosion on a nearby ship interrupts him, followed by more blasts as mines float up. "It's a trick!" He shouted out as Team Avatar watching the explosions from the deck. Korro leaps off the edge and uses waterbending to pull himself into the bay, and he begins to swim toward the conflict. As Iroh, speaking over a loudspeaker. "Water and earthbenders, detonate those mines!" He ordered pulling back from the speaker. "What is that sound?" He questioned as he runs out of the control room and on deck, where a buzzing sound can be heard in the sky. Korro surfaces and looks up as Team Avatar on the deck as Mako points the telescope toward Republic City.

Mako: "What now?" He questioned seriously while the team watch as coming out from behind the skyscrapers, a group of flying objects can be seen in the mist, which resolve themselves into two fleets of biplanes as Team Avatar were wide eyed in shock.

Bolin: "Where does Hiroshi find the time to keep inventing new evil machines?!" He shouted out angrily as well confused as the planes were now flying across the bay, and a close-up on Hiroshi Sato, who is piloting one. He pulls a lever and bombs were drop from the underside. Ships are bombarded, causing major damage on board. One plane drops down two torpedoes and Korro dodges them only for them to hit the side of a ship. The explosion forces Korro back but she swims to the ship again. More planes drop down torpedoes to hit their targets.

Male sailor: "Incoming!" He shouted out as the explosion forces the sailors up in the air. A plane dives in to attack, but firebenders firebend into the cannons and shoot the planes. Korro emerges from the underwater and he looks at the planes, while they destroy the remaining ships. An earthbender tries to bring them down but he is forced back by the bombing. Planes fly around until one gets hit with firebending, forcing the pilot to eject. Iroh and two other firebenders use their bending to take down the planes, successfully hitting one. Korro dives into the water, waterbends a massive waterspout, and bends out a large ice spike to take a plane down. However, the damaged plane hits the waterspout and Korro falls into the water where he bends a torpedo around into the air and hits another plane. He emerges once more and swims to the closest ship. Iroh comes up from the hatch to firebend the remaining planes, taking them down one by one but the last plane drops a bomb in front of him. He uses firebending to shield himself, but the explosion causes him to fall into the water, unconscious before Korro grabs and brings him to the surface.

Korro: "It's all right, I've got you." He said seriously swimming back towards the shore.

Iroh: "Avatar Korro? You saved my life. Thank you." He said honestly as Korro waterbends them away from the wreckage.

Republic City: Hideout

At their hideout, where Korro begins uses his healing abilities on Iroh's wound as Y/n was right behind them to help with her own healing.

Iroh: "I was prepared to deal with Sato's mecha tanks, but not these new high-speed aircraft." He said seriously as Korro was moving water near Iroh's other wounds as Y/n began .

Korro: "I know. Every time we think we have an advantage, Amon outsmarts us." He said seriously

Bolin: "No matter what our plan is, he always has a better one.

Iroh: "Amon is winning so far, but we're not out of the fight yet." He said confidently.

Bolin: "I like this man's confidence! So, how are we not out of the fight?" He questioned happily..

Iroh: He stands up, clutching his wound. "A second wave of reinforcements is on the way, but I need to warn them." He said seriously as he looks towards Korro. "Do you still have a way to get a message out?" He asked as Y/n spoke up..

Y/n: "I know just the man for the job." She said smirking mischievously as she helped Gommu setting up a telegraph machine while Iroh and Team Avatar stand behind him.

Gommu: "And who is the recipient of this top secret message?" He questioned Iroh.

Iroh: "Commander Bumi." He said as Gommu cracks his fingers. "Second division of the United Forces." He said seriously.

Korro: "Tenzin's brother?" He asked honestly shocked.

Iroh: "Yes, bit of a wild man, but the bravest commander you'll ever meet." He said as Gommu spoke up.

Gommu: "Ready, sir." He said as he begins to tap out the telegram as Iroh speaks.

Iroh: "Fleet ambushed and destroyed by Equalist aircraft. Retreat to Red Sand Island until my signal. Do not approach city until you receive the all clear." He said as Gommu finishes the telegram. As Y/n sets up a map of Republic City on a table. "Now comes the hard part. We need to ground those aircrafts. Otherwise, Bumi's fleet would never be able to retake the city." He said seriously before Y/n points at the map.

Y/n: "They flew in from this direction. The airfield must be somewhere over this mountain range." She said seriously towards General Iroh.

Iroh: "Everyone get ready, we leave at dawn." He said as they walk out of the room as Asamir lingers momentarily.

Asamir: "It's time to take down my father." He said somewhat bitterly as he catches up with them.

Korro: He lingers behind the group. "Wait, I'm sorry, but I'm not going with you tomorrow." He said seriously as Y/n freezes at what he said.

Y/n: "What? Why not?" She asked Korro just as seriously.

Korro: "I'm sick and tired of hiding from Amon. It's time I face him." He said seriously as Y/n looked at him with wide eyes.

Iroh: "That's not a good plan. We need to stick together." He said honestly towards Korro.

Korro: "I'm not waiting for him to hunt me down. My guts tell me it's time to end this, on my terms." He said seriously.

Iroh: "Korro, this is not a mission you should be handling alone especially if you have a Guardian." He said seriously as Y/n spoke up.

Y/n: "He won't be." She said seriously as she walks up to Korro and Asamir has a look of surprise on his face. "I'm going with you, Korro." She said seriously

Korro: Looks over at Y/n worried. "You don't have to do that." He said honestly as he looked down at her..

Y/n: "Yes, I do especially not just as your friend but as your Guardian." She said honestly as Iroh looked at her in pure shock. "I don't know what that voice was but I'm not letting you go alone." She said honestly as Asamir looking on with shock and sadness as he glances to the side. While Iroh with a hand on his chin, deep in thought.

Iroh: "Hmm...My grandfather would respect the Avatar's instinct." He said honestly as he moves his hand down and looks to Korro. "So will I." He said seriously.

Republic City; Next Morning

Y/n is shown wearing Equalist clothing in the hobos' hideout as Bolin and Mako walk up to Y/n and they hug.

Mako & Bolin: "Love you, little sis." They said seriously while in the background, Gommu sniffles and cries at the scene.

Y/n: "Love you back, big brothers." She said honestly as she and her siblings walk up to Korro, who is standing next to Naga.

Bolin: "Korro, Amon is a nasty dude. Be careful." He said as Korro nods..

Korro: "I will." He said honestly before he hugs Bolin and Mako. "Good luck. If you're going into the mountains, you should bring Naga." He said seriously as he hugs Naga. "Take good care of Mako and Bolin for me and N/n." He said seriously as Naga licks Bolin and Mako while Y/n walks towards Asamir.

Y/n: "Asamir." She said softly as Asamir turns around to face her. "I'm sorry things got so messed up between us, but whatever happens today, I want you to know how much I care about you." She said honestly as Asamir caressed her face gently.

Asamir: "I care about you, too." He said before he kisses her on the lips and then runs towards Mako,, Bolin and Iroh while Korro walks next to Y/n and they walk away. Asamir jumps onto Naga's back, joining Mako, Pabu, Bolin, and Iroh.

Gommu: "Good fortune and success to you, valiant heroes." He said as Korro and Y/n walk to a large sewage pipe of which they walk out of as they continue walking into the sea and Korro waterbends a large bubble so they can breathe while underwater.

Air Temple Island

Now at the shores of Air Temple Island. Korro and Y/n walk out of the sea and Korro stops waterbending the bubble. They put on their chi blocker masks and climb up the rocky shores until they saw an Equalist airship, which Amon boards.

Korro: "There's Amon." He said seriously towards Y/n.

Y/n: "We need to get into the temple. Then, when he returns..." She whispered towards Korro.

Korro: "We ambush him." He said seriously as they walk toward the temple, but stop when they hear a voice from behind them.

Lieutenant: "What are you two doing here?" He questioned the two.

Y/n: "Uh, we were just transferred in." She lying to the man.

Lieutenant: "Well, you're getting transferred again. Amon wants extra security at the arena today." He told the two 'Equalists'.

Y/n: "The arena? For what?" She questioned seriously confused.

Lieutenant: "The rally. You should've been briefed about this." He said seriously

Korro: He bows to the Lieutenant. "We'll be there, sir." He said as the Lieutenant walks away before whispering to Y/n. "I know another way in." He said as they scoot to the side slowly and stealthily to another part of Air Temple Island. Korro lifts a wooden panel on a wall and they climb in.

Korro: "Let's hide in the attic." He as they climb up through the attic's trapdoor while Y/n sees someone familiar to them.

Y/n: "Korro, we're not alone up here." She said as  they see Tarrlok sitting on the floor, locked behind bars.

Korro: "Tarrlok?" He said as he and Y/n take off their chi blocker masks for Tarrlok to see it is them.

Tarrlok: "I don't suppose you're here to rescue me." He asked as Korro walks up to the cell.

Korro: "We had no idea you were here. Are there other prisoners on the island?" He questioned the former councilman.

Tarrlok: "No, I'm the only one." He said honestly towards The Avatar.

Korro: "And what makes you so special?" He questioned as Y/n glared at the locked up man.

Tarrlok: "I'm Amon's brother." He said honestly making Korro and Y/n gasp as across the bay of Republic City and a view of Aang Memorial Island with the bay shrouded in fog. "Amon is from the Northern Water Tribe." He said honestly in his cell looking outward at Y/n and Korro. "He's a waterbender and a bloodbender, just like I was." He said seriously as he lifts up his head.

Korro: "What?" He asked surprised as an equally shocked Y/n glance at each other and back at Tarrlok before Y/n takes a step forward to Tarrlok's cell.

Y/n: "Did you know this all along?" She questioned Tarrlok seriously whom had bent his head back down.

Tarrlok: No, not until after he captured me." He said honestly towards the two.

Korro: "How did your brother end up becoming Amon?" He questioned Tarrlok.

Tarrlok: "It all began with my father, Yakone." He began telling they two about his backstory along side his brother as the scene fades to a smiling Yakone sitting in a hospital. A surgeon is standing in the background and he walks toward Yakone, who lies down on a pillow. "With the help of his former gang, he escaped prison and underwent surgery to change his appearance." A doctor cuts off Yakone's facial bandages to reveal his new face. All the bandages fall off and Yakone now looks younger and has darker hair. "He assumed a new identity, and settled down in the Northern Water Tribe." He said as the story showed some snowy hills in the Northern Water Tribe. "That's where he met my mother, a warm, caring woman." He said while in the story the woman looks up at Yakone while she was sewing up a warm coat and slightly blushes. Yakone, though a bit surprised at first, in turn smiles at her. "Before long, they started a family together." He said as Yakone and his wife standing outside a home, a boy runs in front of the camera, laughing, followed by his younger brother. "Amon was the firstborn, under the name Noatak. I was born three years later." He said as the young Tarrlok plays with his older brother and attempts to tackle him, but falls into the snow. Noatak helps him out of the snow a cheers him up as he tears up. They laugh at one another. "Noatak was a good-natured kid, always looking out for me. Those were the good years." He said honestly as the story faded to the night sky, under which Noatak and Tarrlok practice waterbending with floating globs of water. "Before my brother and I discovered we were waterbenders. At first we were excited by our new abilities, but our training brought out a different side of my father." He said seriously.

(I'm not doing the whole story; honestly made me cry first time I saw this episode)

Tarrlok: "My father and I searched for days, but we never found a sign of Noatak. We thought he perished in that storm. My mother was never the same after the loss of my brother." The scene fades from Tarrlok's mother to Tarrlok's reflection on a plate then to a depressed Tarrlok. "My father stopped training me. With Noatak gone, his hopes for revenge withered." He said as Yakone stands up and leaves the table. "And he passed away, a few years later." He said as the scene fades from young Tarrlok to older Tarrlok telling the story to Y/n and Korro.

Korro: "That's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard." He said honestly as Y/n wiped her eyes free of tears while Tarrlok spoke up.

Tarrlok: "Avatar Korro, I am truly sorry for all that I did to you. I thought I was better than my father, but his ghost still shaped me. I became a soldier of revenge, just like he wanted me to be. And so did my brother. The revolution may be built on a lie, but I think Amon truly believes bending is the source of all evil in the world." He said seriously as Y/n looked over at him.

Y/n: "How did you figure out Amon is your brother?" She questioned as Tarrlok answered her honestly.

Tarrlok: "When he took my bending, the sensation was somehow familiar. I later recognized it as my brother's bloodbending grip." He said seriously

Korro: "So, he somehow uses bloodbending to take people's bending."

Tarrlok: "I don't know how he does it, but then again, I've never encountered a bender as strong as Noatak."

Korro: "How in the world do we beat him?"

Y/n: "We can't. Any attack we throw at him, he'll redirect with his mind. That's how he's been able to challenge any bender." She said seriously as Korro paced the floor.

Korro: "So much for our ambush. If we stay here, we're toast. But there's another way to beat him." He said seriously.

Y/n: "How?" She asked Korro as he told her.

Korro: "This whole time, Amon has been one step ahead of us. But finally we have the advantage. We know the truth about him. If we expose him as a bender in front of all his supporters..." He said til Y/n spoke up getting an idea of his plan.

Y/n: "At the rally." She said seriously while smirking.

Korro: "...We could take away his true power!" He said seriously

Y/n: "And undermine this whole revolution!" She said extremely proud.

Korro: He smiled at Y/n before he looks to Tarrlok. "Thank you, for your help." He said as Tarrlok nods his head and shifts his eyes. Y/n starts to leave, but Korro stops her. 'We can't just leave him here." He said seriously as Y/n looked over at Tarrlok.

Tarrlok: He stands up as he looked down at the Avatar and his Guardian. "Go. Amon can't know anyone spoke with me." He saidseriously while he grabs the cell bars. "Defeat him. Put an end to this sad story, Avatar and Guardian." He said as Korro's and especially Y/n's eyes widened at his words. "I knew whom you were young lady since the moment I saw your fire Color. Be careful both of you." He said seriously as Korro and Y/n nods at him before they run towards the trapdoor and climb down to go the Equalists rally to expose Amon, no actually Noatak.

The Endgame episode and finale of Season 1 is coming up, people!
