Book 2 of Legend of korra: Eclipse

Chapter 20: A Hero's Sacrifice

(THIS CHAPTER IS LONGER THAN USUAL)

As Korra walked into the tree, Master Katara watched with concern. "Korra, be careful," she said softly.

Korra nodded and sat down, her legs crossed in a meditation pose. The air around her began to calm, and Kya, Kaito, and Kuvira stood guard, ready to defend against any threats.

Dark spirits began to swirl around Korra's body, their twisted forms reaching out to attack. Kya, Kaito, and Katara sprang into action, their waterbending skills creating a barrage of waves and ripples to wash away the dark spirits.

"Keep them back!" Kaito shouted, her hands flashing with quick movements. "We need to protect Korra's body!"

"I've got this!" Kya replied, her waterbending abilities sending the dark spirits stumbling back.

"Metal! Metal!" Kuvira exclaimed, her earthbending skills creating a wave of energy that sent the dark spirits flying.

Master Katara's eyes locked onto Kuvira's. "Keep the pressure on!" she said.

As they fought, Korra's spirit began to stir, growing stronger and more defined. It was a giant, blue form that pulsed with an inner light.

"Whoa!" Kaito exclaimed. "Look at that!"

"It's a new source of power!" Master Katara said. "And it's all Korra's!"

Just then, Korra's spirit burst free from her body and flew towards the Spirit Portal. Without warning, it disappeared through the portal.

"Ah no!" Kuvira breathed. "What's happening?"

Master Katara's eyes narrowed in concern. "Korra's spirit is becoming a new source of power," she said. "And it's all hers."

Suddenly, Mavaatu's flames erupted into a frenzy of fire and smoke, and Korra's spirit reappeared on the other side of the portal.

"Ha!" Kaito exclaimed. "Look at her go!"

Katara's eyes narrowed in approval. "Korra's tapping into her own power," she said. "And it's working."

Koraa's spirit clashed with Mavaatu's firebending, unleashing a torrent of waterbending that sent flames flying back at Mavaatu. The dark sorcerer stumbled back, his flames faltering as Korra's waterbending overwhelmed him.

"She's winning," Kya said, her eyes shining with excitement.

"But we're not out of here yet," Kuvira warned. "Mavaatu can still pull off a comeback."

Master Katara nodded. "Keep pushing," she said to Korra's spirit. "You're close to victory."

As they watched, Korra's spirit continued to clash with Mavaatu's firebending, its power growing stronger by the second.

THE ESTATE

Asami's eyes widened as she stared at the blue light shining through the window. "Korra?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Hiroshi and Varrick immediately stopped what they were doing, their attention drawn to the commotion. Varrick jumped off the table, his eyes shining with excitement. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice full of wonder.

Asami pointed towards the window. "Look! It's Korra!"

Varrick's eyes went wide. "Whoa! She's really doing it!"

Hiroshi rushed over to join them, his expression grave. "What's happening? Is Korra okay?"

Asami nodded. "Her spirit is fighting... I don't know what it is, but its fighting the dark spirit"
