KORRA ROSE out of the rubble and stared down the Anarchist who backed away from her, frightened as the woman stalked towards her. Looking at the destroyed magic circle before him, the man began to panic and tried to think of what to do next, succumbing and flinging a water whip at him. Korra ducked under the attack and uppercut the Anarchist, driving through a nearby wall and knocking him into another room.
The man scrambled to his feet and was met with a massive blow to the chin as Korra erected a slab of concrete that slammed him against a wall. The woman rushed up to him and grabbed him by the face, smashing him out of the building and flying through the sky. The woman flung him forward midair and juggled him with two wild punches, tackling him and throwing him into the forest outside the city, knocking him through a tree.
"I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to my friends."
MAKO FLIPPED back as a mech shot electric whips at him and he blasted it with a fireball, knocking himself back onto the windshield of a car. Pushing himself up, he went to continue fighting the robot when he felt a tremor in the ground, quickly turning round. A wave of magic symbols ran over the ground and over the people manacled by bloodbending and the veins tore apart, freeing them.
The man grinned as people began to move again and he looked to the destroyed police building. "She did it!"
THE ANARCHIST flipped back, nearly losing his footing as he avoided a line of fire as Korra unleashed a barrage of attacks at him. The woman sent a line of rocks at the Anarchist with a punch, barely hitting him as he jumped away and ended up striking a tree. She dashed at him and threw a kick at him, missing as he ducked and slashed her with an ice covered fist.
The woman head-butted him, driving him hard into the ground, and flew after him, coming down with a punch that he barely dodged, sending up rocks and grass in the impact. The Anarchist kicked Korra in the face and picked her up as she fell back, jabbing her in the gut and kicking her against a tree. She slid down, groaning in pain and he wrapped her in water, freezing and shrinking it, crushing her against the wood.
Korra struggled against the pressure and felt the tree bark break behind her, quickly blowing fire onto the ice and escaping. Escaping her bind, she spat fire at the Anarchist who ducked, barely avoiding the flames that burned down trees above him. Waving his arms, the man summoned icicles and chucked them at her at rapid speeds.
She reacted quickly and kicked the spikes away, planting her feet in the earth and clenching her fists before her, trapping the man in rock that grew around his feet. She charged at him with a ball of fire at her fist, swinging at his face when he deftly bent backwards and broke out of the ground, doing a handstand and kicking her away. Flipping to his feet, the man chucked an icicle through her leg and arm, pinning her against a tree.
She screamed as she bled out and the Anarchist fired a wave of water at her. "Enough!" She cried, vaporizing the water instantly as she went into the Avatar State and rose into the air.
The Avatar wove her hands around, channeling a wind storm that filled the forest and slammed the Anarchist against a tree. She breathed in and spat a massive tube of fire at him, consuming the trees and causing an explosion that frightened nearby animals. Panting, she descended to the ground and parted the flames beneath her feet, looking around to see if she'd finished him off.
"He's not here," Raava said in Korra's mind.
WIND RUSHED through the forest and gathered together as magical symbols made of light began to appear near the ground. Shifting into a circle, the air and energy turned into a gateway from which the Anarchist fell out of; the man tossing his mask aside and seeing where he was. He saw the waterfall and gorge to his left, steeling himself and pulling out a large golden disc covered in runes, magical symbols and hieroglyphs.
