.... The last remaining enemy trucks drove-off, carrying the prisoners. "Ry-ewe's in trouble, I gotta save him" Little Orra looked at the last truck preparing to drive-off, and she heard the conversation, "Make sure all of our weapons are stored in safely" "Yes sir, right away!" She noticed the last crate of weapons left by the side of the truck. Little Orra saw this as her opportunity to save Ryu. "That's it" she smiled. as she crept unnoticed toward the crate. "Have you heard that we're on the verge of victory?" said one Equalist to the other. "Yeah-- I heard almost all the Benders in the United Republic are gone, thanks to our savior Amon!" another Equalist proudly spoke. "Do you think he'll cleanse that foolish Cowartar?" "Don't worry my brother he will, he will!" they sounded very jubilant.

.... Little Orra walked to the crate and opened its top. "Better get rid of all this stuff" she tossed out the electro-glove and other such Equalist weapons into a nearby bush. Then one Chi-Blocker saw her, "Hey! What are you doing here, little girl!?" he approached. "Ahh.... I need to go to the bathroom please!" she smiled. spotting a puddle of water behind the thug, she bended it without him noticing. "Mm!" he came closer toward her, "If you're not up to anything then you won't mind if I check this crate?" as he began to open the lid, "WHOOSH" "Oof!" he was struck by the flume of water and smacked into the back-alley wall. "BAM-THUD!" "CRACKLE-CRUNCH!" he landed on to some trash bags. "Ah" he moaned in pain and lapsed into unconsciousness. "Sorry Mister, I hope you're okay-but I had to do it!" she placed the other trash bags over his entire body to hide it and cover her tracks. "Now Little Orra to the rescue!" she hid inside the empty weapons crate, as the other Chi-Blockers came to the truck to finish loading. "Hey where did Chang go off to?" asked one Chi-Blocker. "He's probably kicking back in the truck already—he's so lazy! Let's move out--we have no time to fool around—today's a special day." From inside the crate, Little Orra heard. "Lord Amon is going to finish-off that Cowartar for good, and boy- I can't wait!" he sounded very excited. "Then let's not miss it then, I want to get a front row seat!" all three Chi-Blockers were hyped-up to see such an important event in human history. "Ugh! This crate sure is heavy! You and I may need some help carrying this crate into the truck...." "Yes sir, right away!" they both carried the crate with Little Orra inside and shoved it into the truck.

.... After the cargo was in and ready to go, "All loaded-up, now let's head back to command" the leader ordered. "Yes sir!" all the Chi-Blockers hopped on board the truck. "Come, now let's go!" as the last two trucks drove-off, the giant Mecha-Tank followed the two vehicles back to command post.

.... Inside the truck's cargo hold, Little Orra thought she must be heading for the Equalist Command Center. "Don't worry Ry-ewe, I'll come and save you!" she thought to herself as the small enemy convoy rumbled down the street heading into enemy territory.

.... Later on, Ryu Honoo woke up inside an Equalist prison cell. "Ahh....' Where am I?" Ryu's head throbbed, "How long have I been out?" Ryu spoke while placing his hand on his forehead in pain. "It's been five hours since you've been knocked out cold" Bolin spoke sadly. "Bolin—what's happening---what's wrong?" Bolin shook his head, "Amon has taken away my bending, along with Tenzin, Jinora and Lin's as well" Bolin began to weep uncontrollably. "Guys-- this must be a dream, so none of this is real anyway...." Ryu tried to reassure himself. "Besides, maybe the Equalists have a point....maybe we don't need benders anymore, I mean, don't you think the world would be a much better place without bending?" this caused Tenzin to lash out, "You don't understand Ryu!" Tenzin was astonished by Ryu's attitude, "I have been honored to be an Air Bender, to carry on my father Avatar Aang's legacy. And now it's all gone! And it'll never come back" he cried. "It's okay father, it'll be alright please, try not to be so sad..." Jinora patted her father's shoulder, feeling miserable herself. "You caused a lot of harm to us all, Mister Honoo, because of your own foolishness!" Lin kicked the wall. "BASH!" "You've ruined everything, because you wouldn't follow your father Ronin's wisdom" she cried. "And now it's all over!" Ryu tried to avoid feeling badly for these people, as he stubbornly held to his feelings, "Maybe it's for the best—to be Equalized and to just give-up and throw in the towel, we're defeated...." Ryu's head went down. "Ryu, you used to say this—'never say never until it's over'. 'SOB-SNIFF' But I guess it's now all over so there---I've said it!" Jinora cried. Ryu felt convicted by her words and tried to tell himself, "It's not my fault, it isn't my fault—it can't be! It's all just some crazy dream...." Ryu was started to feel both confused and convicted. "You truly are a Cowartar!" accused Lin. Then, a Chi-Blocker appeared and rapped on the cell bars, "Cowartar, it's time to be cleansed of your bending" he spoke. "Come---now!" despite feeling convicted, Ryu was relieved knowing that he would be rid of this pain for good. "I'm sorry, everyone please forgive me" Ryu begged the downcast prisoners. "No, you're not sorry, if you were- you would've taken on your responsibility and saved us all!" Jinora spoke angrily. "We don't forgive you, and we never will—you are a Cowartar!" Tenzin spoke sternly, as the Chi-Blockers took Ryu away to be Equalized.
