Air

Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world

THIS JUST IN:

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.

Standing above a riled crowd, Hiroshi proudly stood upon the steps of City Hall. "It is a glorious day, my Equalist brothers and sisters! Amon has torn down the tyrannical bending government! He has declared bending illegal, 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 finally 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!" The crowd erupted into large roars as two chi blockers at the back of the rally looked at each other before walking away from the gathering. They entered Republic City Park and pushed aside a few bushes to see a clearing with a large rock in its center. One of them bends the rock away, making room for them to slip inside the hole it had uncovered. Once they reached the bottom, they pulled off their masks and shook their heads as they walked down the dim hallway before them.

"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," Korra suggested. She brightened up at her own idea and turned around to do just that, but Mako took hold of her arm and brought her back to his side.

"Relax. General Iroh's coming with an entire fleet of battleships. Then Amon will be the one who's running," Mako said, adjusting the hold on his disguise's mask.

Frowning, Korra said, "I hate this 'being patient' stuff."

"I never would have guessed." Korra jabbed Mako's side with her elbow to which he laughed gingerly and politely shoved her back their entire way down the hall.

Asami let out a quiet chuckle as she watched Bolin play with Pabu with a couple of stray rocks on the ground. She straightened her back on top of the crates she and Bolin were sitting on until she heard it crack and then rested her elbows on the tips of her knees. "If you could be anything, not an entrepreneur CEO business lady like you are, what would it be?" Bolin asked. Asami raised her eyes to meet Bolin's and raised a brow at him.

"Why?"

"I'm just making conversation," Bolin said while raising his hands in defense. He put Pabu square in his lap and turned back to Asami. "Personally I would be a mover star."

"A what?" Asami asked as she straightened her posture and crossed her arms.

"I wouldn't expect you to know what that is, it's pretty underground right now. Only whispers have been heard about it." Bolin wiggled his brows at Asami's unconvinced expression. "What? My charm and good looks fit this supposed bill perfectly because it's acting!"

Asami laughed. "Sure. But what if it doesn't even exist?"

"Don't be so unhopeful, Asami!" Bolin chastised.

"My bad," Asami said, "Well then I guess I should ask if your acting is any good?"

Bolin stroked his chin. "I don't know, ask Mako about these last few days." They both let out a hearty laugh at this and shook their heads. "Wow, that sounded much more mean than I intended. Whatever, you never answered my question."
