Mortal Kombat Legends: Heroes Rising
Endgame
Previous ChapterNext ChapterKorra, Mako and their friends have discovered the truth about Amon's identity. He's a waterbender, a bloodbender, and brother to Tarrlok! Now, group plan to infiltrate the Equalists' victory rally and expose Amon as a fraud. Meanwhile, Asami, Bolin, General Iroh and their team head toward Hiroshi's secret airfield, where Asami intends to take down her father? Boy that won’t end well for anyone.
Equalist Airfield
At the airfield where Hiroshi led his air fleet, Bolin and Asami lead their group seeing the airfield, seeing bi planes above them. “I think we've found our secret airfield.” Iroh said as he looked towards Bolin. “Bolin, once we get down there, I need you to tear up those runways. We can't let those aircraft take off.” He ordered him.
“Aye aye, captain!” Bolin saluted only to realize. “Ooh, general, general.” He corrected himself.
Meanwhile Jax observed the area, getting an uneasy feeling about this. “Hold up guys, something isn’t right.” He told them.
“Even I must agree with Major Briggs, this is too easy.” Shang Tsung told them as he looked around.
“How so…?” Iroh asked them.
“Usually at places such as this, there are patrols all around. But look around you.” Shang Tsung gestured to the area, showing no one around to stop them. “There is absolutely no opposition around… it is almost as though they’re expecting us to make a fatal mistake.” He told them.
Killmonger approached them to interject. “He’s not wrong, Hiroshi isn’t foolish enough to leave this place exposed for an open attack.” He told them. “If anything, they have the perimeter booby trapped.”
“He’s not wrong…” T’Challa agreed as he walked up. “In Wakanda, we have motion sensors to detect any form of perimeter breach.” He explained.
“If it’s a trap we’re walking into, then we need to come up with something.” Rarity said to them.
“I already have one.” Shang Tsung used his power to summon Legion directly to them as she floated before them.
Rainbow Dash was surprised to see her as she observed her. “Whoa… talk about a femme fatal version of Ermac.” She said as Applejack elbowed her in the side. “What?! Just look at her!” She gestured to her.
“How may I be of service?” She asked them.
“Legion, how many souls can you detect in the air field?” Kotal asked her.
Looking to the airfield, Legion used her soul magic to detect all those who were in the air field. Her eyes glowed as she searched through the field and found Hiroshi amongst them. “About twelve in total, and Hiroshi is among them.” She told them.
“Great, I’d like to sucker punch that asshole when I see him.” Johnny muttered aloud.
“Just take it easy Johnny, we need to avoid getting caught.” Sonya told him. “That only leaves the Vibranium weapons you sold, where are they being kept?” She asked Killmonger.
“If I have to guess, they’ll be in that storage building down there.” He pointed to where it was.
Starlight used her magic to see through the roof of it, and see several cases. “He’s not wrong, the whole Vibranium Arsenal is here.” She looked through the storage building and finds something else. “And a large number of mech tanks.” She pointed out.
A chuckle is heard, and they all looked seeing Kano tied to a tree. “Hate to break it to ya… but you ain’t ever gonna get far.” He told them.
“Yeah? What’s to stop us?” Flash asked him.
“Oh I don’t know, you got a pen? Ya might wanna write this down, uhh, get fucked!” He replied only to get sucker punched by Sonya, he groaned from it and chuckled. “Nice one luv…” He spits out a bit of blood as he chuckled. “Almost spilled on that one.” He told her.
“You’re lucky I didn’t snap your neck.” Sonya said to him as she walked away from him as Soarin approached him.
“You know, this is why nobody likes you.” He told him as he pulled away from him.
But that only made Kano chuckle as he watched them go. “Just you wait, I’ll be outta here in no time. Just you wait! I’ll be-“
Sun-Zero froze half his body, leaving his head uncovered as the Black Dragon leader groaned feel the intensity of the chill around him. “Okay, what next…?” He asked.
“Seeing that he is still trying to bring Asami back to his side…” Shang looked to Chrysalis with a smirk, as she smirked back to him, used her magic to copy Asami’s appearance, and transform into her.
Leaving Asami surprised of what she saw as she observed Chrysalis of how we’ll she copied her appearance. “Normally I’d object to this, but what will happen if the spell should wear off…? Or if she were to get knocked unconscious?” She asked them out of curiosity.
“Clearly you don’t know Changelings very well, our illusions are stronger than you can imagine. So if Hiroshi thinks he can break my illusion, he’s got another thing coming.” Chrysalis told her.
“I’ll say.” Bolin muttered to himself, only to get nudged by Shang Tsung.
“If I were you, I’d focus on the real Asami, rather than my spouse.” He advised him as he walked passed him.
That immediately made Bolin blush in embarrassment as he snapped out it. Meanwhile Kipo snickered at seeing it, knowing he walked into that one. But Kratos saw little amusement in it and looked towards her. “Kipo, go with them… Hiroshi knows little about you being that Mega Jaguar from earlier, so they’ll need your strength, should you get caught.” He told her.
Saluting the war god, Kipo didn’t hesitate to step in. “You can count on me sir.” She told him as she joined Iroh’s group in heading down to the air field. But she eventually saw Naga and Pabu about to follow them. “No guys, it’ll be all right, you guys wait here until we get back, okay?” She told them, but sees them insist. “Uh-uh, stay.” She told them sternly, making Naga whine as Pabu chitters. The group approach the Equalist base which seems to lack a perimeter fence; there are posts but no wires.
Applejack was surprised from seeing this as she looked around. “Strange.” She muttered.
“Yeah, this is just bizarre.” Rainbow said to her.
“Why would there be fence posts but no fence?” Chrysalis asked as she was disguised as Asami, she began to grow suspicious of this.
So was Kipo in fact, as she got closer to the poles, she felt her Jaguar instincts kicking in while also feeling her fur stand up from feeling an electric charge. “Guys, wait!” Before she could stop them, they went into the middle of the fence posts, but subsequently cry out in pain as they are electrocuted, and they collapse onto the ground unconscious. Kipo panicked as she turned around seeing the Equalists surrounding her. “Oh great.” She muttered only to get electrocuted.
Meanwhile the rest of the team watched from a safe distance, being undetected as they saw what happened. “Looks like Hiroshi was expecting us.” Jax muttered.
“Yeah? What was your first clue?” Killmonger asked him.
“Luckily, Lady Chrysalis’ illusion held up through the electrocution. Now comes the hard part, they need to get the fence deactivated, and luckily, Kipo has something that Hiroshi doesn’t.” Legion said to them.
“We can only hope that they can accomplish this infiltration mission.” Scorpion told them as he looked out. “If Hiroshi so much as hurts Fluttershy…” He clenched his fist in anger knowing he will do much worse to him if he touches her.
“My father is going to realize that isn’t me down there, we need to get down there.” Asami wanted to head down, but was immediately stopped by the female Tarkatan.
“Calm yourself Asami, she’ll be fine. If there is one thing changelings are, they’re resilient.” Mileena assured her as she looked out.
“We just need to wait patiently… and hope they’ll pull through.” Jade told them as she looked to the air field, knowing this will be difficult, especially for them.
Pro Bending Arena
Meanwhile at the Pro Bending Arena, Korra Mako, Twilight, Liu Kang and Kitana were still wearing their Equalist disguises and stand guard on a balcony with their hands behind their backs. They nod at each other, ready to expose Amon as a fraud. Amon rises from beneath the platform, standing beside Rain and Tanya. “Thank you all for joining me on this historic occasion!” He told his followers as they cheered for him. “When I was a boy, a firebender struck down my entire family and left me scarred. That tragic event began my quest to equalize the world.” He told them.
“That’s a lie, Amon!” Korra called him out as she removed her mask, showing herself as she glared at him. “Or should I call you Noatak?” She asked him.
Amon was surprised to hear her call him by his actual name, and narrowed his eyes at her knowing where she got it from. “You want her taken out?” The Lieutenant asked him.
But Amon raised his left hand stopping him. “No.” He told him as he walked across the stage to his followers who yelled at the Avatar. “Everyone calm down, we have nothing to fear from the Avatar, or the Mortal Kombat champion. Let's hear what they have to say.” He told them.
Liu removed his Equalist mask and looked to them. “Amon has been lying to you. The spirits didn't give him the power to take people's bending away.” He told them.
“He uses bloodbending to do it.” Korra pointed towards Amon with a stern glare. “Amon is a waterbender!” She told them as they gasped surprised while Rain and Tanya looked to each other knowing that Amon has been exposed.
The Lieutenant looked towards Amon in surprise. “What is this nonsense?” He asked him.
Amon ignored the question as he looked to Korra. “You're desperate, Avatar. Making up stories about me is a pathetic last resort.” He told her.
Twilight stepped up with a glare. “Your family wasn't killed by a firebender” She said to him and looked to the crowd. “His father was Yakone.” She told them as Kitana walked up.
“And his brother ... is Councilman Tarrlok.” She revealed his true origin.
The Lieutenant sports a doubting look at first before inquiringly looking at Amon. But Amon knew they weren’t going to let up… so, if they wanted the truth, he’ll give it to them. “Hmph, an amusing tale, but I will show you the truth.” He told them as he removed his hood, unties his mask and takes it off. The crowd gasps in surprise as the see his "scarred" face. “This is what a firebender did to me.” He told them.
Korra was shocked to see what she just saw. “What?” She looked towards Mako.
“The Avatar is lying!” One of the Equalist conspirators called her out as Amon put his mask back on.
“I'm telling you! He's a waterbender.” She tried to tell them, but they wouldn’t listen to her as she looked to her comrades feeling defeated. “They don't believe me. It didn't work!” She said to them.
Mako backed her away as he looked to her. “We said what we had to. Let's get out of here.” He told her as the group turns around as Equalists spin bolas at them from above the balcony ready to attack. They take fighting stances as they approach the Equalists on their way out.
“I wouldn't leave yet, Avatar. You'll miss the main event.” Rain told her with a grin behind his mask.
“Yes, you don’t want to miss what’s about to happen.” Amon said to her as he looked and saw a part of the stage rises with the airbenders Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo tied to each pole and gagged. Stryker was also among them, bloodied and bruised from his capture.
Liu Kang’s and Kitana’s eyes widened in shock as well as Korra’s from seeing it in disbelief. “No ... they got away. We saw them get away!“ She exclaimed.
Stryker looked up to them with his bruised face, showing how broken he felt. “I’m sorry guys, but they were waiting for us, and I tried the best I could to protect them.” He told them as he got punched in the face by Tanya, letting out a grunt as he coughed up some blood.
She then grabbed him by his hair holding his head up. “We are far from through with you Stryker, just you wait… once Amon finishes his work, we’ll finish what we started.” She told him.
Equalist Air Field
Back at the air field, Chrysalis was still Asami in disguise, and she began to stir as her eyes opened. “Asami.” A voice called to her as she looked to who it was… her vision was blurry at first, but she saw a figure standing before her. It was Hiroshi, believing her to be his daughter. “Asami, I know I have hurt you ... and I am sorry. But I believe that one day, you will come to your senses and we can be a family again.” He told her.
But Chrysalis narrowed her eyes, seeing the hatred he had for benders, and seeing no love in his heart. “Oh, you’re in for a shock you old fool.” She thought to herself and stayed true to her role. “Are you insane?! How can we be a family after everything you've done?! Mom would hate you for what you've become.” She told him.
“How dare you? I am avenging her death!” Hiroshi yelled at her enraged.
A scoff came from Kipo as she gained Hiroshi’s attention. “Please, you’re doing this for yourself. I met someone exactly like you, and let me tell ya, it didn’t end well for her.” She told him keeping her Mega Jaguar side hidden.
“This path of yours will only end with shame and guilt.” Fluttershy told him.
“Be silent you insolent wench! It will only end when bending is no more, and Shinnok will finally bring freedom to this world!” Hiroshi declared.
“Yeah, hate to break it to ya pal, but Shinnok’s gonna end your miserable life.” Applejack said to him earning a glare from him.
“And all of reality, your hopes of having an equal world, is never gonna happen.” Sonya said from her cell.
“Yeah man, you need to get it through your head, before you make things worse for yourself.” Johnny said to him.
He was about to yell at him, but an Equalist approached him. “The airplanes are ready for take-off, sir.” He told him.
Hiroshi turned facing him. “Good, annihilate the fleet.” He ordered him, earning shocked looks from Bolin and Iroh, including Rainbow Dash.
“Wait, what now?” She asked in surprised.
Hiroshi ignored her and looked towards Iroh. “That's right, general. I intercepted your message to Commander Bumi. I know exactly where they're hiding.” He told him and walked away.
“You can’t do this!” Johnny yelled from his cell.
Meanwhile T’Challa glared at him as he struggled along with Killmonger. “You think this will bring your wife back? You are and even bigger fool than I imagined… revenge took my father, and it nearly consumed me and Killmonger. You will not find peace.” He told him.
“I second that, I hope you said your prayers old man, because you’re not getting out of this alive!” Killmonger warned him.
“Ohh, I think I will Killmonger… because thanks to your shipment of Vibranium, I can use it to build weapons that will be powerful enough to destroy anyone who gets in our way.” Hiroshi told him with a smirk and decided to walk out.
Seeing him go, Chrysalis took the chance to let out a sigh and lose her disguise. “As much as I like her slender figure, being a brunette is not my style.” She stated as she flipped her hair around and looked to the others. “How are we gonna get out of here?” She asked.
“You’re a changeling, can’t you just use your magic?” Killmonger asked her.
“I could, but I only had enough magic to hold up my illusion.” She told him and looked to her form. “It’ll take me a good half hour to get my magic boosted back up.” She said to the others.
Iroh looked towards Bolin with a hopeful expression. “I don't suppose you know how to metalbend?” He asked him.
“That is a negative, Sir.” Bolin said to him making the General pout.
“Relax guys, I got this.” Kipo took the opportunity to use her Mega Jaguar abilities to change her arms and break out of her bindings, and stand up punching the gate open. “Woo! Kipo, you rule!” She cheered for herself and held her fingers in her mouth, blowing a whistle to the other team as Haukea and Neva appeared along with Permafrost, including Naga. “Glad you could make it, help me get the others out.” She told her as the female Lin Kuei nodded as Naga rushed to the cage Bolin, Iroh and Chrysalis were in.
“Naga! Over here!” Bolin called her as the massive polar bear dog rushed up, and breaks the jail door with her front paws, and Pabu climbs onto Bolin's lap. “Who needs a metalbender? We got Naga and Kipo! Yeah!“ He cheered out.
Rainbow used a lightning blade to cut the ropes that bound her, and got up slicing at the jail door. “Perks of being a Lin Kuei warrior.” She boasted.
“You couldn’t have done that earlier?” Flash asked her, earning a scowl from her.
“Now, now children, let’s not fight amongst ourselves.” Chrysalis told them, and quickly headed out with them to the runway where the biplanes were taking off. “We need the others to help us, think you can bring down that barrier?” She asked Rainbow Dash.
“If I take out the generator, totally!” She said to her and headed straight for the power source of the generator.
“I'm going after those airplanes.” Iroh told them as he ran after them.
“T’Challa and I will handle the Vibranium shipments, keep them from falling into the wrong hands.” Killmonger told them as he and his cousin ran towards the weapon shipments.
Meanwhile Naga carries Bolin while they are running. “Ahh! No, Naga!” He panicked.
Meanwhile Rainbow Dash ran towards the generator and looked it over trying to find its off switch, it didn’t seem to have one, so she decided. “Screw it.” She formed a lightning blade and used it to stab the generator to the barrier around the airfield.
Upon seeing it from the hill, Jax smirked as he lowered his binoculars. “Way to go you guys… they did it, the barriers down!” He told the others.
“Time to go to work.” Starlight stated and looked to the airfield and used her magic to launch both Kratos and Artemis towards the field. Two mountain trolls looked up seeing them as Artemis aimed two arrows and shot them towards one, piercing its eyes causing it to roar in pain. While Kratos took his blades and swung them at the other, piercing it’s chest as he pulled himself toward it, slamming his shield against its face, breaking its horns while knocking it down to the ground. He lets out his battle cry and takes out his leviathan axe, piercing the beast skull, twisting its neck to kill it.
Jax leaped out from the trees raising his arms, catching the attentions of some of the Equalists. “Come and get some!” He shouted as he slammed his fists on the ground, sending a shockwave through the earth, knocking them over as some remained standing and charged at him. Jax blocked their attacks and punched them in their heads, knocking them out as he grabbed one and slammed him against another that charged at him.
Johnny and Sonya tag teamed against several Equalists as Applejack and Pinkie took down some on their own. Nightwolf summoned a bow and arrow and shot them at some of the Equalists that were close to attacking Applejack from behind. “Thanks Nightwolf!” She said to him as he nodded in response and took his tomahawk and sliced open a draugr that snuck up behind him, kicking its head off and threw his tomahawk at another that walked out from behind a tree.
Meanwhile the real Asami rushed into the workshop with Rarity, getting into one of the mecha tanks switching on its engine. “Darling, are you sure you know how to work one of these?” She asked her.
“Easy, it’s just like a Future Industries forklift.” She told her and saw Chrysalis approaching. “Met my father I take it?” She asked her.
“Yeah, real piece of work that one… there’s no use talking him out of turning against his beliefs. You need to take him down.” She told her as Asami nodded and closed the hatch to the mecha tank, driving off to destroy her fathers work.
Meanwhile, Iroh charges toward one of the biplanes and uses firebending to jet himself towards it, but he didn’t have enough juice in it, but Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy caught him manages to get him to board one of the planes. “We got your back General Iroh!” Rainbow told him, seeing him nod his head to her as he headed to the cockpit of the biplane. He throws the pilot off and steers the plane on his own. Sub-Zero and Scorpion appear on it to help him stop the other biplanes from going beyond the city.
Pro Bending Arena
Back at the arena, the airbending family remained bound in chains as Amon gestured to them. “Tonight, I rid the world of airbending, forever.” He announced to his followers.
“Amon, let them go!” Korra demanded him to release them.
“You're welcome to come down here and try to stop me.” Amon taunted her with a smirk behind his mask as he looked towards the airbenders
Korra was about to spring into action, but Mako grabbed her arm before she could. “He's trying to bait you.” He told her somewhat quietly.
“I don't care! We have to save them!” Korra argued while trying to get her arm free.
“Go down there Korra, and you will get caught by his bloodbending.” Twilight said to her.
“Twilight’s right Korra, you can’t risk that.” Kitana agreed with her student.
“The Avatar needs to be reminded of the power I possess.” Amon said to the crowd as he headed towards them, but before he could get close enough, a blast of lightning and sun fire blasted through the roof, revealing Raiden and Celestia standing before everyone in the arena. Amons eyes widened from seeing them as he backed away. “Lord Raiden, Princess Celestia.” He muttered.
“You are a fool Noatak.” Raiden said to him as the Lieutenant pulled out his kali sticks and went to attack him, but Celestia used her power to smack him away as the Lieutenant flew across the arena, slamming against the floor while Raiden approached Stryker using his power to heal his injuries. “You think that by lying to these people, making them believe you are some chosen messiah. But I can tell you… you’re not.” He told him as lightning flowed from his eyes.
Celestia narrowed her eyes as she looked towards the crowd, seeing them panic. “People of Republic City, what Korra says is true, we saw the truth in her eyes, and her words. But you are all blind and deaf to listen to reason, you cant put your hatred aside, never knowing what true horror awaits you all in a future you won’t be able to see.” She told them as Raiden revealed to them a future where Shinnok would destroy them all, their city, their entire realm. Amon watched in shock of what he was witnessing, millions of people dead.
His hands began to shake from what he was seeing, he just couldn’t believe it. “This… this isn’t what I wanted.” He muttered in shock as he watched seeing Shinnok in the vision as he had a sadistic grin on his face.
The Lieutenant looked towards him seeing his hands trembling. “You didn’t know, you said Shinnok would rid our realm of all benders, not the entire realm itself.” He said to him.
Amon wanted to reply, but he soon heard a chuckle coming from Tanya and looked towards her and Rain. She let out a maniacal laughter at his shock, and looked towards him. “Oh how big a bunch of fools you were, you honestly thought Shinnok would rid your realm of benders? No, he is going to kill you all.” She told them as Amon’s eyes widened in horror, along with the crowd.
“And once he is finished with your realm, Earhrealm is next.” Rain said to them as Tenzin looked on in shock and looked to his children with worry-filled eyes while futilely trying to break free. Suddenly, Mako generates lightning and directs it to Rain, who dodges the blast and rolls over to Tanya while Amon rushed towards the Lieutenant.
Mako and Korra use firebending to jump onto the wall and balance themselves vertically to run across it to the stage. Before landing, they both dodge bolas thrown at them and send a barrage of firebending attacks to get the Equalists away from the airbenders, knocking one Equalist off the stage. Kitana appeared with Twilight next to Stryker and struck the bindings that held him. “You all right Stryker?” Twilight asked him.
“I’ll live, but we need to get moving.” He told them as they nodded and rushed to help the airbender kids. The crowd disperses and runs away from the stage. Mako continues to fight them as Korra runs to free the airbenders.
She unties the gag around Tenzin's mouth, produces a flame on her finger, and begins to burn the metal chains binding Tenzin. “Where are Pema and the baby?” She asked him.
“In prison.” Tenzin told her as Liu Kang rushed up to them.
“And Beifong?” He asked him.
“I don't know.” He replied as he got free and stood up. Tenzin immediately runs onto the battlefield, assisting Mako as Korra moves to help Twilight and Kitana free the kids. Right after Mako throws a fire punch and fire kick, Tenzin runs in front of him fires two air blasts, which knocks an Equalist and the Lieutenant off the stage. Tenzin soon felt an attack coming towards him from Rain and quickly dodged it along with a blast of fire from Tanya as he flipped backwards and looked towards them with a glare. “Your madness will affect my realm no longer!” He told them.
“You will not succeed in trying to stop Shinnok, he is Death incarnate! All the realms will feel his wrathful hand! You will all tremble as he destroys your realm, and for my devotion, he promised me a bride for my part in ruling beside him. If Kitana won’t be mine, then Her student will suffice… she will make a better queen for me than tha-“
Before he could finish, he got blasted by Celestia and rolled across the ground. He looked towards her seeing her glare at him with much rage and hatred from hearing what he was about to say. “If you so much as even say such vile words about my student, I can tell you that she will never love someone like you. It’s no wonder Kitana left you… you are cold as ice, even more than Bi Han.” She told him as she blasted him straight out of the building, and falling straight into the water outside.
Meanwhile Amon dodges Mako's firebending attack with acrobatic grace, but Tenzin follows with a strong wave of air which he tries to block, but it is too powerful, causing him to be blown off the stage. Mako went to blast at him, but Tanya struck at him and does a hand stand, twirling her body as she kicked at him. He blocked her attacks and went for a strike, but Tanya leaped over him, and got behind him holding her blade to him. “You know, for one so young, you would have impressed me more, even… in bed.” She grinned while licking his face.
But Mako was far from amused, or even aroused from what she was trying to do. He manages to elbow her in her stomach, and face, turns toward her and grabs her head, slamming her face against his knee and throwing her over as he slammed her onto the ground. He wipes his face from her saliva from her tongue as he glared at her. “You’re not my type.” He told her.
Meanwhile the Lieutenant rushed toward Raiden with his kali sticks and went to strike him while they were electrified, big mistake. As he went to strike him, Raiden managefpges to grab hold of them and draw in the electricity from them, shocking the Lieutenant as he stood in disbelief. Raiden then returned to jolt back to him, blasting him away as the Lieutenant slammed back against the wall. Meanwhile Korra looked to the airbenders knowing what to do. “Follow me, kids.” She told them as she lead them to the nearest door and opened it into a hallway and looked to Tenzin and Stryker. “Get them out of here. We'll create a diversion.” She told them.
Tenzin and Stryker nodded their heads and looked to the kids. “Let's go get your mother and the baby.” Tenzin told them.
“Prison break!” Meelo roared out throwing his arms into the air and leading them.
Stryker sighed seeing it. “If I ever have kids, I’m having them disciplined.” He muttered and ran after them with Tenzin, while Korra rushed out the other direction. At that moment Amon goes out on the other door, as he ran, Korra blocks his way with a wall of fire and makes another one to be safe. Mako enters a room with Korra behind him. Amon jumps over the wall of fire and looks to see where they have gone. He hears the door swing and enters that room. Korra hears Amon's footsteps. Amon continues to walk past Korra's hiding place and stops for a moment before continuing. Korra breathes a sigh of relief, but suddenly writhes in pain as Amon bloodbends her out from under the table and into the air.
“Did you really think you’d be able to get away from me that easily?” He asked her.
“No, that’s why I’m not alone in this fight.” Korra told him as Mako rushed out and sends continued attacks of firebending at him.
“Let her go!” He yelled furiously as he firebends at him, Amon dodges each attack and bloodbends Mako into submission by lifting him into the air. He slams both of them on the ground and bloodbends Mako in place on the floor, and Korra in a kneeling position. Amon walks around Korra and places his hand on her neck.
Her eyes widened in horror from feeling it. “No!” She tried to struggle, but Amon’s bloodbending was too strong.
“Korra!” Mako cried out for her as his Jinsei gem began to glow brighter than before.
As Amon went to take her bending away, an aura of magic snared his hand, causing his eyes to widen as he is instantly pulled away from her by Twilight. She narrowed her eyes at him as she charged at him, slamming hard punches against his face and abdomen, landing a high knee to his right cheek causing him to stumble. “I won’t let you take her bending from her!” She yelled.
But Amon chuckled and looked towards her. “What makes you think you can stop me, Princess Twilight…?” He asked her as he used his bloodbending stare on her, causing her to lose control of her body as she is forced into kneeling before him. She struggled but glared at him. “Believe me when I tell you, I didn’t want the future Raiden showed, but bending has done nothing but bring pain and suffering to the world, and I will snuff it out. Once I am through with this little bi-“
“Watch your mouth!” Kitana yelled as she blasted him away with a strong gust of wind, he grunts as he crashed against a wall seeing her. “You were a fool to fall for your own beliefs… as was I when I was still Shao Kahn’s daughter. You think it’s easy to accept that your entire life was a lie? I spent ten-thousand years, believing he was my father, when my true father was ruthlessly murdered by him, forcing my mother to marry him.” She told him.
“Just because you lived a lie, you think my father was anyway similar…? No, Yakone treated me and my brother like tools for revenge. I loved my brother, and my mother. But when Yakone showed me bloodbending, he ruined my childhood!” He yelled as tears brimmed behind his mask. “I hated that man ever since he forced me to bloodbend Tarrlok… and for what he took from me, I will take his city by destroying it!” He quickly used his bloodbending to pin them all where they stood. “And I won’t let anyone or anything stand in my way.” He told them as he walked towards Korra and grabbed her by her neck, she gasped from feeling it as he places his other hand on her forehead.
“Korra, no!” Twilight cried out as she struggled. Korra's eyes widened and closed as fast. Korra let out voiceless scream but could almost be heard as she felt her bending being taken. Amon lets her go as her body slumps on the ground.
He looked at her as she laid on the ground and narrowed his eyes. “I told you I would destroy you.” He told her.
Republic City Airspace
Meanwhile, Iroh, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Scoprion and Sub-Zero were fighting the airplanes. Scoprion leaps into the air vanishing through hellfire and appears in front of one of the airplanes, shocking the pilot as he tried to steer away from him. But Scorpion took one of his swords and sliced the propeller off, causing the plane to descend to the city as the pilot ejected. Sub-Zero formed a spear out of ice and aimed it carefully at the other plane. He pinpointed his target and tossed it at the planes engine, piercing it as it starts malfunctioning and combusts into a burning fireball. “Nice shot teach!” Rainbow shouted to him as she formed her wings and flew towards on of the other planes, hiding behind the pilot. “Man, if planes like these fly this slow, I’d have the Special Forces jets smoke these things.” She said to the pilot earning his attention as he whipped out a Vibranium weapon and aimed it at her. But she quickly dodged it as it shot a sonic blast at the tail of the plane, causing the pilots eyes to widen in horror. “Oooh, you really need to watch where you aim.” She told him as she quickly stunned him with her electricity to knock him out. “Works every time.” She chuckled as she took him out of the plane as it went down for a crash landing.
Fluttershy flew towards the other plane and got onto it as she grabbed to pilot and pinched his nerve points, causing him to gasp and faint from it as she pushed him aside and took him out of it, forcing the plane to steer towards another. She leaped out with the pilot as the plane crashed against the other plane, taking the pilot with it. Scoprion saw a few more heading towards the bay, and teleported onto Iroh’s plane. “You certain you can keep up with them?” He asked him.
“As easy as riding a boar-q-pine in summer.” Iroh responded as he generates lightning and directs it to the middle plane, causing it to crash to the plane beside it. He looked ahead and saw the planes dispersing. One pilot shoots an explosive bola at Iroh's plane causing it to get caught up in the main propeller forcing Iroh and Scorpion to bail out before the plane explodes. As Iroh free-falls with the ninja specter, he uses his firebending to propel himself to another plane and from there uses a firebending attack to disable one of the propellers on the plane in front of him. Iroh kicks the pilot off the plane and takes control of it as Scorpion appeared on the wing of the plane.
A bomb manages to hit the rear end of the plane. Iroh tries to control the plane while another one above him tries to drop another bomb. He quickly uses his firebending and shoots it, allowing Scorpion to combined it with his hellfire as he travels through the flames and blasts through the plane, causing it above to explode. Meanwhile, Iroh’s own plane is on a collision course with the statue of Aang on Aang Memorial Island, which has had Aang's face covered with a mask like Amon wears. Before impact, Scorpion reappeared on the plane and grabbed Iroh, and he quickly jumps out and grabs the Equalist banner, causing it to tear. He hangs in midair and watches the mask fall off the statue. “That was close.” Scorpion commented.
“Yes… and we have Aang to thanks for looking out for us.” Iroh said to him as he looked towards the statue and smiles.
“We better regroup with the others, they’ve likely destroyed the airfield by now.” Scorpion pointed out as he grabbed him and vanished through hellfire.
Equalist Airfield
Back at the airfield, Bolin groans as he destroys the runway by earthbending. Jax helped in destroying it by slamming his fists upon the ground, sending a massive shockwave through the ground as it crumbled, and destroyed some of the planes. “Get some!” He shouted as he noticed three mecha tanks try to attack Bolin with cables, but he turns out and whistled to Naga as she looked and charged over, catching the cables and pulls them. Kipo grabbed them as well with her jaws and growled at them, making the pilots inside to panic as the two animals pulled hard, causing the mecha tanks to topple over and almost hit Bolin, who stands still as if not noticing it. “Whoa! Thanks guys!” He said to them as Kipo nodded, letting out a soft growl but looked out and snarled at a group of Minotaurs charging towards them.
Kipo took the chance to morph to her semi-Jaguar form as they charged at her. “Come on big boys!” She yelled at them as they charged at her head first. She avoided the first ones horns but grabbed its tail, pulling hard as she threw the raging beast towards a tree, seeing it slam head first against it as she snarled slamming her fist against the second one that tried to attack her, landing a hard punch across its right cheek as it cried out in pain as its skull shatter to gravel, and its whole body slammed against the ground. The third one pulled out an axe and snarled at her preparing the slice her to pieces, Kipo however managed to catch the axe and smirk at the Minotaur and break the axe off. “I’ve met Timber Cats more fierce than you.” She told it as she roared out and slammed the axe head into its chest and clawed its face, snarling at the rest of the monsters that came at her.
Meanwhile T’Challa placed teleportation devices on the Vibranium crates to get them back to their Earth. “You certain this will work cuz?” Killmonger asked him.
“Positive, with the coordinates you gave me, and these devices, we’ll make it work.” T’Challa replied to him setting the last device on the final crate. “That should do it.” He backed away and used the needs around his wrist to activate the devices as they lit up, but before he could send them away to their Earth, two Equalists leaped down and attacked them. The two Panther warriors avoided their attacks, and stood back to back as the two Equalists stood before them in their fighting stance.
“So much for this behind easy.” Killmonger stated.
“We can do this cousin, just try to survive.” T’Challa told him as the Equalist in front of him charged at him, and went on the attack. T’Challa blocked his attacks and avoided getting hit in the nerve points, he manages to land quick jabs against the Equalist he was facing, and slammed a hard punch against his abdomen, forcing him to lose oxygen as he slammed his knee against his right cheek bon, knocking him out as he laid on the ground.
Killmonger blocked fast jabs from the Equalist he was fighting and lands a few scratches against him, but notices something under the clothes and grabs the sleeves kicking him away as he ripped the sleeves, seeing Vibranium armor underneath. “Okay, this is gonna be harder than I though.” He muttered to himself as the Equalist charged at him, throwing hard punches at him. Killmonger blocked his punches to avoid getting hit, but the more he defended himself, the more the Vibranium armored Equalist began to hurt him as he was doing some damage. Killmonger kicks him away and leaps landing a kick to his head as he stumbled away. He groaned from it as he shook his foot and his arms from the pain he took. “Man this guy was prepared!”
“But he can’t handle two at once.” T’Challa told him with a smirk, Killmonger returned the gesture as the two stood in their fighting stances, and charged at the Equalist. He went to attack them both at once, but they avoided his attack as T’Challa grabbed his arm and smacked him in the head. The Equalist went to retaliate, but Killmonger slammed a hard kick to his stomach as T’Challa scratched his face. The Equalist tried to defend himself from the attacks he was getting from both panthers that were relentlessly hitting him, but he managed to grab them both by their necks, holding them both up given his great size. The two panthers struggled to get free, but the energy they were building up in their suits took more than they could hold. “Cousin, now would be a good time to discharge!” He shouted.
“This close?!” Killmonger asked him.
“Yup!” T’Challa replied as he struggled. “On my count, one, two, three!” Both he and Killmonger reached out and fist bumped each other, letting out all the energy in their suits to discharge, causing a massive shockwave to hit the Equalist that tried to strangle them as blast threw them across the room and slam them against the walls of the building. The two groaned from it as their masks disappeared and saw the Equalist they were fighting was knocked unconscious. “That went well.” T’Challa muttered as he rested his head on the ground from the blast.
“Remind me to kill you later after this… because I can barely feel myself from that.” Killmonger said to him as he groaned in pain from the blast.
Meanwhile, Shang Tsung and Chrysalis were helping Johnny and Sonya against the Equalists and monsters along side Kratos and Kotal Kahn. Legion helped in blasting down the airborne monsters that were trying to swoop down at them, Kratos swung his chaos blades at the undead legionnaires, slicing their heads off as he pulled a blade back and stabbed on that was about to strike him from behind. Kotal sliced at seven of them with his large sword and grabbed one by its neck and easily crushed it. “There is no end to them.” He said as he noticed more coming.
“No doubt my sister is doing everything she can to destroy me.” Kratos said to him as he took his leviathan axe and struck a few draugr. “Personally, I’m used to it.” He told him.
“War is part of life… and we revel in it.” Kotal said to him as he used his powers of the sun to shine down on the draugr and the undead legions, burning them to cinders, but an ogre was charging through the burned remains and was close to killing them, but a spear flew passed the two gods and pierced through the beasts skull, causing it to shriek as its eyes rolled to the back of its head as it fell to the ground. Kotal turned around to see Jade approaching, forcing him to smile. “You certainly have perfect timing.” He told her.
“Let’s get through this first, then tell me about me about.” She told him as she pulled her spear out of the beasts skull.
“That won’t happen, foolish Edenian.” Athena appeared before them as she glared at them. “I’ve allowed you to live for too long… it is time for you to fall, like the rest of these pathetic creatures that I conjured up. And you will-“
Kotal blasts her away to shut her up, earning a surprised look from Kratos as Kotal looked to him. “She talks too much.” He told him.
The war god smirked at it, and looked towards Athena. “On that, we agree.” He told him as Artemis landed next to him, she looked to Athena as she let out a lions growl.
“You may have been restored to a higher existence Athena, but you can still perish like the rest.” She told her.
The former goddess of wisdom groaned from the attack Kotal inflicted on her. “You… pathetic, insignificant piece of Osh-Tekk scum! How dare you strike me!” She shouted as she floated up and formed her blades. (Picture them as the ones she had in God of War 2.) She charged at the and went for a powerful strike, Jade quickly blocked her blade with her staff as she tossed her boomerang at her, smacking her in the head as she cried out from it. Mileena appeared above her and got on her back, biting down on her shoulder, making her writhe from the sheer pain she was feeling. But she glared at the Tarkatus for it and summoned a harpy to get her off. The winged demon swooped down and snatched her off of its master, Mileena struggled from it and pulled out her sai’s and stabbed the beast in the head with them, causing it to fall to the ground. She managed to teleport to safety and land beside Jade as she glared at Athena. “You abomination… you have the audacity to taste my flesh?!” She asked her.
“Personally, you taste like crap.” Mileena replied to her as she wiped her mouth. “But I look forward to ripping you apart, piece by piece.” She told her as Athena summoned her magic and cried out in anger, blasting at them. But Starlight appeared and used a magic barrier to counter her attack as Soaring flew in and slammed a hard kick against Athena, while Flash appeared above her and used his flames to blast her towards the ground. Kratos saw this as an opportunity and took his chaos blades, throwing them towards his former sister, piercing them into her chest and stomach, pulling her hard as he swung her towards Artemis. She charged towards Athena and scratched her face with her claws, leaving deep cuts in her face as she screamed from it as she landed on the ground.
Kratos pulled his blades back and glared at her for her part in this war. “There are things you will never understand Athena, though you may have ascended, you are still as weak as you were when you lived.” He told her. The former Goddess of Wisdom glared as she healed most of her injuries and got up, but while she wasn’t looking, Jade swung her spear and smacked her several times with it as she twirled it fast and slammed it across her head, causing a massive fracture as she went for a killing blow. But Athena caught her spear and threw her down and pinned her at her throat with her foot and went to kill her.
Kotal quickly stepped in and swung his sword and sliced off her arm, causing her to scream in agonizing pain from it. “You do not strike my woman.” He told her as he formed a sun disk and threw it towards her, seeing it slam against her cheekbone, causing it the shatter into gravel. She flew across the field as Nightwolf appeared before them and used lightning around his tomahawk and struck her towards Applejack who raised her leg up and thrusted it into Athena’s abdomen, causing her to grunt and cough up blood from the devastating blow.
She let the former goddess down and backed away from her. “For a fallen god, you’re pathetic.” She told her.
Groaning from her injuries, Athena refused to give in as she floated up and looked to them, showing how damaged she was. “If you think you will win this war… you’re wrong, it is only just beginning. Shinnok will come to this realm, and you… Spartan, will face death.” She told him, earning a stern glare from him as Mileena approached him.
“Allow me to handle this, you already killed her once.” She said to him as he nodded to her and took her hand, tossing her up as she took out her sai’s and spun in a violent death wheel and headed straight towards Athena. Once colliding with the fallen goddess, she violently tore through Athena, ripping her to pieces and finally went straight through her, leaving what was left of her on the ground. (Mortal Kombat 11 fatality.) Mileena slid across the ground and stood up, looking to what’s left of Athena, seeing her body disappearing as she approached. “I’m starting to see why you hated the gods so much.” She said to him.
“The Gods of Olympus took everything from me, it only felt right I take something from them in retaliation.” Kratos replied to her.
“Totally understandable… all that’s left is Hiroshi.” Applejack told them.
Meanwhile, within one of the hangers, Asami was in the process of destroying one of the planes with the mecha tank she was in. Rarity helped out by forming giant icicles beneath them and pierced right through them to make sure no one would be able to fly them. Till out of nowhere, a second mecha tank rolled in, and guess who’s inside it. “Asami, what do you think you're doing? You are aiding the very people who took your mother away!” Hiroshi told her scornfully.
But Asami glared at her for the way he spoke to her. “You don't feel love for Mom anymore. You're too full of hatred.” She told him.
“And that is all you will ever have, Asami would never ever side with a monster such as you, Amon, or the mad god Shinnok.” Rarity told him as she formed two icy rapiers.
But Hiroshi glared through his mecha tank and aimed his anger more towards Asami. “You ungrateful, insolent child! Not only do you dishonor me, but your mother as well! You side with those who ruined this realm, and those who call themselves defenders. I will see to it that they suffer for their insolence, and watch as Shinnok destroys them all!” He shouted as he charged towards her in his mecha tank, Asami tries to stop him by launching the wires, but missed as he avoided her shot. Asami's eyes widen in fear as Hiroshi's tank hits hers, throwing her mecha tank away and destroying the faceplate. “I now see there is no chance to save you!” He shouted only for an icy rapier to pierce through the metal haul of his mecha tank. “What?!”
Rarity glared with eyes glowing icy blue as she tore part of the tank off, leaping back as she avoided a swing from the mecha tank. She yells as she charged towards him, avoided wires he shot as she leaped into the air seeing a wire coming towards her. She quickly formed an ice clone as the wire shot through it and she leaped and formed a giant ice hammer, screaming as she swung it and slammed it against him, knocking him towards a wall. He let out a painful grunt as his head hit the inside of the tank, causing him to bleed from it and looked towards her with a glare. He quickly shot an electric bola at her, managing to snare her as she screamed in pain from it and fell to the ground. He starts rolling towards her with the attempt to murder, but before he could reach her, a rock hit him before he could reach her. He turned and saw that it came from Bolin as he sends more rocks to the mecha tank. “Mr. Sato, you are a horrible father!” He shouted as he chucked more rocks at him.
As he did, Asami gains momentum and attacks her father. She successfully throws him away using her mecha tank. Hiroshi groans in pain as Asami forces the opening of the mecha tank. Hiroshi looks with fear at his daughter while Asami looks at him with hatred. Her gaze eventually changes into pity as Hiroshi tries to attack her, but Asami is able to dodge it, which he used as a diversion in order to attempt an escape. Asami watched him run as she felt regret in not finishing him, but she wasn’t going to let him get away. “You really are a horrible father.” She told him as she throws an electrified bola that catches and electrocutes him, rendering Hiroshi unconscious.
Asami sheds a tear as Naga whimpers, while Kipo approached Rarity and kneeled down and untied her. She helped her up as Rarity rubbed her head. “I’ll be all right darling.” She said to her and looked towards Asami. “But the question is, will she be?” She wondered.
“I don’t know, I never thought I’d see someone do that to their parent… it is hard to look at.” Kipo told her as Asami stepped out and Bolin approached her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She looked to him as tears ran down her face, causing her to wrap her arms around him, to find comfort. Bolin blushed a little as he felt her hug… but he wrapped his arms around her to hold her as she cried in the warm embrace.
Pro Bending Arena
Back at the arena, Amon starred down at Korra feeling satisfied of his victory, “Finally, you are powerless.” He told her as Korra tries to hit Amon, but is too weak from the loss of her bending to do it and misses.
But Kitana glared as she was held by his bloodbending. “Coward!” She shouted at him but saw someone behind him.
“Amon!” Shouted the Lieutenant as he stood behind him. “Everything the Avatar said is true, isn't it? I just saw you bloodbend her.” He said to him.
“Took your sweet time in finally realizing it pal!” Twilight said to him while stuck in a stiff position.
The Lieutenant took of his mask, showing his face as he dropped the mask to the ground and crushed it. “You traitor! I dedicated my life to you!” He shouted as he takes out his kali sticks and runs forward to attack Amon. Right before he gets there, however, Amon glares at him and he is lifted into the air with bloodbending.
He grunts and struggles in Amon’s bloodbending, but Amon wasn’t going to let him go. “You've served me well, Lieutenant. But do understand, I didn’t think Shinnok was going to destroy our realm. But would it be worth it to rid it of all benders? Then it is a price I am willing to pay.” He told him as he casts the Lieutenant aside into a pile of wood and walks toward Mako. He bloodbends his hands, to keep him from doing anything. As he approached, he was about to place his thumb to his forehead.
“Stop Amon!” Liu called out to him, seeing him stop.
The Equalist leader looked towards him, seeing his death glare towards him. “After all this fighting, you are still willing to defend them… but I must ask, why?” He asked him.
“You saw Raiden vision, if Shinnok comes to your realm because of your actions, you will doom not only your realm, but the others as well.” He told him.
But Amon couldn’t forget the horrible vision he saw, true he didn’t want that for his realm, but was it worth the price he was willing to pay? Even he didn’t have the answer to it. “Your thunder god was wise to choose you as his champion… but this is my choice.” He told him unaware that Mako was resisting his bloodbending, and manages to shoot a bolt of lightning at him, strong enough to throw him away.
Liu rushes toward him and sends two fire blasts at Amon, but the blasts hit the surrounding wood and trap him. He turns to Mako and rushed over to him and Korra. “That won’t hold him forever.” He told him as Kitana helped Twilight up and the group ran out the door to escape Amon.
Mako carried Korra bridal style as they ran as fast they could, but Korra looked to Mako weakly from what she was feeling. “Mako ... my bending.” She tried to speak.
“Everything will be all right! We just need to get out of here.” Mako told her, only to feel his body stop.
Amon bloodbends Mako, causing him to drop Korra as she slides. He tosses Mako around like a ragdoll into the walls and ceiling, causing Liu and Twilight to widen their eyes at seeing it. “Mako!” Twilight cried out only to glare at Amon and charge toward him, she leaped into the air and teleported to prevent Amon from bloodbending her. Amon looked around for her as he saw no sign of her. But she soon appeared above him and landed a hard punch to his mask, causing it to crack as he let out a grunt. She landed several blows to his sides, and kicked him in his chin as Kitana rushed up and sliced at him, shredding his clothes and leaving several cuts across his skin.
Liu appeared behind him and landed a kick to the back of his knee and elbowed him in the back of his head as it fractured, Liu then got in front of him and landed a hard kick to his face, knocking him away as he landed on the ground. Amon groaned from the attacks he got, but used his bloodbending to restrain them all, and prevent them from doing anything to stop him. “I’m impressed. No one has ever gotten the better of me like that.“ He told them as he approached Mako and looked to him. “Especially from you, young firebender. It is almost a shame to take the bending of someone so talented. Almost.“ He told him as he slowly reached over to him.
Korra began to regain her strength, and saw it was about to happen. But her instincts kicked into overdrive, and she got up pulling a fist back. “No!” She yelled as she threw her fist, and it suddenly become a blast of air that shoots down the corridor and slams into Amon and Mako, sending them flying. Amon is sent skidding backward and, despite the mask, it is obvious that he is for once completely stunned.
“Impossible!” He said in shock.
Liu was freed along with Kitana and Twilight as he looked to her. “Korra, you can airbend.” He said to her.
Surprised of this revelation, Korra couldn’t believe it as she looked to her hands. “I - I can airbend?” She asked herself and glared as she looked towards Amon and stood up straight. “I can airbend!” She yelled as she attacks Amon with a flurry of air blasts.
“Yeah Korra! You got this!” Twilight cheered for her.
Despite his attempts to block, he is flung back and slides to a stop on his side in front of a window. He growls and stretches out his hand, causing Korra’s progress to immediately halt due to the bloodbending grip Amon is exerting. Amon stands up and strengthens his grip on Korra, now using both hands. Liu glared at seeing it as he charged passed Korra and went into a flying kick head straight for Amon. “No..!”
“You…!” Korra struggled as her face is contorted in pain and the effort it costs to resist his hold. “Don’t!” She shouted as she overcomes the bloodbending and punctuates the last word with an airbending-infused kick that helps Liu Kang go faster and slams into Amon, blasting him out of the window behind him. As Amon falls, his mask comes off, and he plunges into the sea. Concerned citizens dash to see what happened. Korra panted and looked to Liu Kang seeing something she never seen before. His hair was flowing like fire, almost as if it were actually fire to her eyes. She shook her head and saw that it was gone, almost as though it were some vision she saw. She shook it off and rushed up to him with the others. “You okay Liu?” She asked him.
“Yes… still feeling his bloodbending though.” He rubbed his shoulder.
“I think we have something else to worry about.” Mako pointed towards the crowd.
There was a big mob of Equalist conspirators who witnessed what happened. “Did you see what happened?” One of the conspirators asked as Korra panicked from what was happening. The crowd sees Amon's mask float to the surface. Korra and Mako walk up to the shattered window as cries of the protesters grow. “You bending tyrant!” Another conspirator shouted.
“Evil Avatar!” Shouted the annoying protestor from the first chapter. (Seriously, doesn’t he have anything better to do?)
Meanwhile with Amon, as he is gradually sinking, the water washes away his "scar". Desperate to save himself, Noatak waterbends a spout to get to the surface. As he gasps for air, riding his water spout high above the crowd, he turns to see the people looking at him in shock. The conspirators couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. “He's waterbending.” One of the conspirators pointed out.
“He is a Bender.” Said another one of the conspirators.
“Whoa!” Shouted the protestor. (Oh, yeah, that finally got him to shut up.)
“The scar is fake.” Said another conspirator.
“The Avatar was telling the truth.” Said one final conspirator as Noatak looks angrily at Korra as his followers turned against him.
Korra equally glared at him. “Now do you see Noatak? This is where the path of hatred leads everyone… no matter what you do, no matter how many times you take someone’s bending. You will still have yours in the end… making you the last Bender in the world. Unable to live with what you have… even your brother hated bloodbending, ever since your father Yakone taught you that cursed technique.” She told him.
Noatak looked at her as his expression softened and thought back to his brother Tarrlok, and looked down. He knew hurting his brother would weigh heavily on him… but he never imagined it would bring an extreme tole on him. “How did it come to this…?” He asked himself, before jumping into the water again. As Noatak escapes, Mako tries to stop him by firebending, but he misses every shot. After Noatak escapes, Korra and Mako hug each other. Kitana placed a hand on Liu’s shoulder as he looked to her, and smiled a bit, but he, Kitana and Twilight looked towards Korra, knowing the all her other bending abilities were gone. Wondering how she will cope with this, because it won’t be easy, even for her.
Air Temple Island
Meanwhile, on Air Temple Island, Noatak arrived in the attic where his brother Tarrlok waited. The former councilman looked to his long lost brother, not showing any sign of emotion. “Noatak.” He greeted him.
Noatak approached the cell and looked to his little brother. “It's over, brother. I'm sorry for what I had to do to you.” He said to him.
Tarrlok let out a sigh, and looked down to the floor. “Our father set us on this path; fate caused us to collide.” He said to him and looked up to him. “I should have left with you when we were boys.” He told him.
To his surprise, Noatak opened the door to his cell and looked to him. “Leave with me now. We have a second chance. We can start over, together.” He told him as Tarrlok looked to him in awe and surprise. “Please, you're all I have left in the world.” He said to him as Tarrlok looked at him, knowing he wasn’t wrong about that.
Republic City
The entire group was reunited, but learned of the terrible ordeal that happened to Korra, even Lin felt sorry for her. “I can't believe Amon got you too.” She said to her.
“She did the best she could in the situation, there was nothing she could do.” Stryker said to her.
“Hey, at least you unlocked your airbending!” Bolin tried to lighten the mood, but everyone looked to him with a disapproving look.
“Bro, not the time.” Mako said to him.
“Right, right, I'll just stand over here.” He backs away from them. “Quietly…” He puts hands over mouth and whispers. “In silence.” He told them.
Mileena soon put her arm around him, earning his attention. “It’s probably best you didn’t try so hard darling.” She said to him.
Meanwhile Tenzin approached Korra as they looked to Republic City. “You saved Republic City.” He told her.
But Korra looked down sadly, knowing one equal fact. “But Amon got away.” She told him.
Raiden walked up with Celestia. “Despite that fact, you still saved many innocent people from the Equalists. But this was merely a start to Shinnok’s grand scheme. What ever he is plotting, we will be ready for it.” He told her as Korra looked to him.
“No matter the failure young Avatar, you have shown your realm the fraud that Amon was. Thus, saving its citizens from themselves. You have-“ She grunted a sharp pain in her belly as she held it.
Seeing it, Korra approached her as Raiden held her. “Princess Celestia?” She looked at her.
“I’m okay, I’m-“ She cries out as she felt another sharp pain.
“Sister?!” Luna rushed up to her and noticed a wet spot on the ground, causing her eyes to widen. “Oh no.”
“My water broke… the baby’s coming!” Celestia exclaimed, causing everyone’s eyes to widen in surprise.
“Whoa nelly!” Applejack exclaimed.
“New baby coming, YAY!!!” Pinkie cheered, only to earn stern looks from everyone. “Oh, right.” She muttered.
Raiden stood beside her and looked towards Pema. “We better get moving before another contraction happens.” He said as he looked to Tenzin. “We’re gonna have to borrow Pema.” He said to him as he teleported with Celestia and Pema.
Tenzin saw it happen and sighed. “This day just keeps getting better… at least the baby isn’t being born during an attack.” He said to himself with a smile.
“Yay, Uncle Bumi's here!” Ikki shouted as Tenzin’s smile immediately faded, and he looked to see his ship arriving, and saw him on the deck.
“Waaaa-hoooo!” Bumi yelled out as he clapped his hands happily.
Tenzin immediately sighed as he rolled his eyes. “Great, now I have to entertain my brother.” He muttered.
Johnny elbowed him as he walked up. “Come on Tenzin, it can’t be that bad.” He said to her.
“Trust me Mr. Cage, you don’t know my brother the way I do.” He told him but notices something. “Wait, where is Shang Tsung?” He asked.
Middle Sea
Meanwhile in the sea, Noatak and Tarrlok were in the middle of the sea on a motor boat, fleeing Republic City as Noatak looked ahead with a smile on his face. “The two of us together again, there's nothing we can't do!” He said to his brother.
But Tarrlok felt both angry, and confused of what to do as he looked to his brother. “Yes, Noatak.” He said to him.
“Noatak. Hmph.” The older brother smiled with a chuckle at hearing his name again. “I had almost forgotten the sound of my own name.” He admitted.
While his brother wasn’t looking, Tarrlok notices the electrified gloves and looks over to his brother. He takes one, without Noatak seeing him. He unscrew the cap to the fuel tank and places the glove on as he held it above the tank. “It will be just like the good old days.” He told him as his eyes shut, a tear rolls down Noatak's cheek as Tarrlok was about to electrocute the fuel tank, but Noatak saw something ahead and immediately stopped the boat, earning a surprised look from Tarrlok. “Why’d you stop?” He asked him only to look ahead and eyes widen seeing Shang Tsung floating before them.
He had his hands behind his back as he stared at them. “Did you really tipping, you would get away that easily? And Tarrlok… suicide…? And taking your own brother with you no less.” He said to him as Noatak looked to him seeing the electric glove on his hand. “Committing such and act would have you sent to the Netherrealm… where you will become servants to the mad god Shinnok, who was imprisoned there by the Elder Gods for a good reason.” He told them.
Noatak looked to him with a glare. “Just let us go, my task has failed, and therefore I have nothing to fight for.” He told him.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that. With your ability to bloodbend, you are still a danger to this world. Therefore, I cannot allow either of you to spread that knowledge.” He told them as he used his soul magic to snare them. “YOUR SOULS ARE MINE!!!” He drained them of their souls, to keep them from becoming puppets of Shinnok in the Netherrealm. Once finished, he let their bodies drop back into the boat as he floated down to it. “Now, to make sure no one finds your corpses.” He said as he summoned a flame and blasted at the tank, letting it blow up, taking the bodies with the boat as he teleported away from the explosion.
Southern Water Tribe
Meanwhile in the Southern Water Tribe, at the compound where they trained Korra, Celestia had just finished giving birth after hours of pain. She panted harshly from it as Pema approached her while cleaning the newborn baby, and showed her. “Congratulations Princess Celestia, it’s a girl.” She told her as she offered the little girl to Celestia.
She took her newborn daughter and held her in her arms looking at her. She smiled joyfully at her as Raiden approached, seeing her as he formed a smile. “Oh Raiden, look at her.” She showed her to him as she looked to him. “She’s perfect.” She told him.
“Yes she is.” Raiden smiled as he reached to her little hand as the baby cries, but started to calm down feeling his touch. He smiled at her and looked towards Celestia. “What shall we call her?” He asked her.
“I have the perfect name for her.” Celestia responded and looked towards their daughter. “Solar Storm… because she’ll have the magic of the sun goddess, and the power of the thunder god.” She announced her name as Raiden smiled of it.
“Solar Storm… it’s a perfect name.” He said to her as he gently grasped her little hand, and soon noticed the girls watching from behind the door. He smiled and rolled his eyes. “Come on in girls.” He told them as the doors opened seeing them walk into the room.
Rarity immediately adored the little baby girl as she looked at her. “She is so precious.” She complimented the baby as she took her hand.
“To finally meet the official first generation of Princess Celestia’s bloodline is so beautiful.” Fluttershy said to them.
Spike leaped up and looked to her. “Aww, she’s just as cute as Pumpkin and Pound Cake when they were born.” He pointed out.
“Applebloom would have loved to see this.” Applejack commented.
“I wonder if she’ll be a flyer like Pound Cake? Because if she’s got her moms abilities, she’ll be all over the place!” Rainbow exclaimed in excitement.
“She’d be soaring like an eagle through the sky.” Chi interjected.
“She might even have her mother’s magic, but there’s no telling until she grows.” Sunset told her.
“Sunsets right, we just have to be patient.” Twilight told them, till out of nowhere, confetti shot out surprising everyone. Causing Twilight to scowl from it as Solar started to cry from it. “Pinkie!” She shouted.
Pinkie came out of hiding, showing how excited she was for the new baby. “Oh this is so exciting, I haven’t been this excited since we first heard of the Mortal Kombat tournament, and now, we got this little bundle of joy!” She got up close to the baby as Solar cried, but suddenly… Solar started feeling a tickle in her nose as she inhaled deeply and let out a sneeze. But it was no ordinary sneeze, this one unleashed a blast of magical lightning, stunning the overexcited pink fluff ball as her eyes widened in surprise as her hair stood up from it.
Everyone was surprised to see what had just happened, Applejack let out an amused chuckle as she tipped her hat. “Well I’ll be, looks like she’s already getting her fathers abilities.” She stated.
Flash chuckled from seeing it. “Imagine what her powers over the sun will be like.” He told them as he held Twilight’s hand, who smiled and grasped his in return.
Raiden and Celestia smiled as Celestia looked to see Liu Kang approach with Kitana. “Any word on Korra?” She asked them.
“She’s still with Master Katara…” Kitana informed her.
“For how long, we cannot say. But it would be wise if you were there Lord Raiden.” Liu said to him as Raiden looked to Celestia, who shared his gaze and nodded to him to go see her. He nodded his head and got up and headed to see Korra with the rest of the group. Everyone was present in the room, including Korra’s parents, Tonraq and Senna, who were worried for their daughter. Liu approached them and bowed to them. “Tonraq, Senna…” He greeted them and stood up straight. “I’m sorry for what has happened to Korra, but know this… she fought like a warrior out there. You should be proud.” He told them.
“We are proud… but, also sad for what Amon did to her.” Tonraq said to him.
Just at that moment, Katara opened the doors to the room Korra was in and stepped out. Everyone looked eager as she looked to them. “Nightwolf and I have tried everything in our power, but… we cannot restore Korra's bending.“ she said to them as she averted her eyes.
Everyone looked down in defeat, knowing Korra will never be the same, even Johnny was pissed off from hearing this news. “Damn it! I should have been there!” He cursed himself for not going after them with Sonya.
“There was nothing we could have done Johnny, we had our orders, and watch your language, there’s children present!” She told him.
“I’m afraid the damage has already been done… even Haokah knows this.” Nightwolf said to them.
Lin stepped up to Katara to interject. “But you're the best healer in the world, you have to keep trying!” She persisted.
“Lins right, you have to try something.” Chi said to her.
“If T’Challa can give me a new set of arms made of Vibranium, surely you can help her.” Jax said to her.
“Can’t someone else give back her bending?” Kipo asked her.
“I'm sorry, there's nothing else I can do, nor anyone else. Korra can still airbend, but her connection to the other elements has been severed.” Katara said to them as Lin looked down in disappointment, and Stryker placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
Soon enough, Korra exits the healing room, sadly looking at the ground. She stops and eyes everyone upon noticing all the people in the room staring back at her. Tenzin was the first to approach to speak to her. “It's going to be all right Korra.” He tried to assure her.
“Tenzin’s right little sister.” Mimir spoke up as Kratos held him up. “In time, things will get better.” He told her.
But Korra didn’t feel the same way. “No, it’s not.” She said feeling somewhat angry as she headed for the door.
“Korra.” Raiden grabbed her arm stopping her. “I know you’re feeling angry… but do not take it out on your friends.” He told her as he looked to them. “We all had our hardships and struggles in the past… you’re just having a taste of what Shinnok has to send.” He said as he looked to her. “You just need time to adjust until things start working out.” He told her.
Korra stood silently for a moment trying to hold back her tears. “I’m happy that you and Princess Celestia finally had your child… but things won’t be the same for me. Not now, not ever.” She told him as she stormed out.
“Korra!” Twilight called out to her, but she ignored them as she heads out of the house.
Mako wanted to talk to Korra, but he hesitates at first. He soon pulled out the Jinsei gem in his pocket, and knew that it was time to stop being hesitant, and becomes determined and walks out of the house and follows Korra. The girls, even Kipo grew curious and followed them out. “Korra, wait.” He called out as he approached her.
But she turned to him angrily. “Go away.” She told him.
“I will, but I just want you to know, I'm here for you.” He told her.
“No, I mean, go away, back to Republic City. Get on with your life.” Korra told him as she looked away from him.
The Main Six were surprised to hear it from where they stood, while Mako was confused of why she is acting like this. “What are you talking about?” He asked her.
“I'm not the Avatar anymore. You don't need to do me any favors.” Korra told him as she was about to walk away.
But Mako stopped her from going.” I don't care if you're the Avatar or not. Listen…” He told her as Korra looked to him. He looked down for a bit thinking back to when she was kidnapped. “When Tarrlok took you I was losing my mind at the thought of never seeing you again, I realized… that deep down, I knew I was lying to myself about how I felt about you. I realized…” He hesitated a bit and looked to her while the Main Six along with Kipo watched eagerly to hear him say the words, Mako looked to Korra and placed a hand to her cheek, gently caressing it. “I love you, Korra.” He finally admitted his feelings to her, while the girls silently cheered from the house.
Meanwhile Korra was both surprised, and shocked to hear it. She looked down as tears brimmed, but she tried to fight them and pulled away from Mako. “I - I can't.” She runs off and jumped onto Naga, riding away into the icy plain.
“Korra!” Mako called out to her but saw her go.
Pinkie was shocked to see it happen. “OH COME ON!!!” She shouted.
“That was cold.” Kipo stated towards Korra.
“He finally admits his feelings, and she blows him off like that?” Rainbow asked as she crossed her arms. “Not cool girl.” She stated.
“He’s taken this one chance to tell her, but we all know the pain she’s going through right now.” Twilight told them and looked to them. “Come on, we better go after her.” She said as she used her magic to teleport them to where Korra might be heading.
Mako watched her go as Tenzin approached him. “We need to be patient with her. It will take time for her to accept what has happened.” He told him.
Mako looked down but was too determined to give up on her, he knew in his heart that he couldn’t let her go. “I’m sorry Tenzin, but I just can’t stay here and let her runaway from her problems.” He told him.
“Precisely…” Raiden walked up with Liu Kang. “Which is why your destiny and hers have always been intertwined. You tried to fight back these feelings, but finally… they surfaced, with perfect clarity. Come… we need to hurry before she does something reckless.” He told him as he teleported with him and Liu Kang to find Korra.
(~)
Meanwhile, Korra arrives with Naga on a cliff above the sea. She looked down to the ocean as she stood over the edge of the cliff, while a tear rolls down her face and the glistening tear falls into the ice below. Twilight and the others show up and find her, thinking she will do something crazy. “Korra, don’t!” Twilight called out to her as Korra turned and saw them. “Look, we understand you’re hurting, but this isn’t the answer.” She told her.
“She’s right sugarcube… this ain’t no way to solve your problems. I know, because I’ve been down this road… ever since my parents died in an accident, I was close to taking the first step towards a horrible fate… but I knew if I did, I would be hurting my family more than myself.” Applejack explained to her.
“Korra… even without all your other bending abilities, you are still the most awesome person I’ve ever met, maybe even twenty percent more awesome than me, and that’s me being brutally honest to you.” Rainbow said to her.
“We’re here for you Korra, please don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life.” Fluttershy said to her.
Korra looked at them seeing their eager and determined looks to not give up on her, her hands shook as tears ran down her face, and finally… she began to cry as she sat down on the ground, burying her face into her knees as she cried. Twilight and the others walked up and held her in a group hug. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry. I don’t know what I’m going to do now.” She told them.
“Well darling, I’m sure we can figure that out together.” Rarity told her with a smile.
“Yeah, we got your back.” Sunset said to her with a smile as tears brimmed.
“Just keep yourself together.” Twilight said to her, while in the background, Raiden watched with Liu Kang and Mako, seeing them all together.
Korra smiled knowing her friends will always be there for her, no matter what. Suddenly a figure dress in air nomad clothes approached them, and she thought it was Tenzin. “Not now Tenzin, I just want to be left alone.” She told him.
“But you called me here.” Said a different voice, and everyone looked to see that it was none other… than Avatar Aang himself.
Korra was surprised to see him, but smiled. “Aang.” She spoke softly.
Aang smiled at her feeling proud of her. “You have finally connected with your spiritual self.” He told her.
Korra stood up with the girls who look stunned at the Avatar standing before them. “Okay, am I seeing things? Or is Avatar Aang standing right before us?” Rainbow asked them.
“Yeah, isn’t he supposed to be dead?” Pinkie asked in surprise.
“Aang, how is it I can finally speak to you?” Korra asked him.
“When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.” Aang revealed as all the other Avatars appeared before her. Everyone was surprised to see them stand before them and smiled, Aang approached Korra and touched her shoulder. “You struggled, and you suffered… but you managed to find peace, and friends who would be willing to fight beside you, no matter what.” He gestured to her friends as she looked to them.
Twilight and her friends smiled at her as they stood beside one another… Korra smiled back at them and looked towards Aang as her smile grew. “Guess fighting in the Mortal Kombat tournament changed you as much as it changed me… but I understood why you did it. To protect both our realm, and Earthrealm… but you didn’t do it alone, you had Katara and the others by your side, just as I had mine.” She said to him.
“Yes… but not just to thwart Shao Kahn from gaining access to our realm, but to keep Shinnok from reaching it.” Aang told her. “I know you have more questions, but they can wait for another time. Right now, you have other friends waiting for you.” He told her as he place his hands on Korra's forehead and shoulder and restores her bending. The eyes and, in the case of the Air Nomads, tattoos of the other Avatars glow as well before they all fade away.
Twilight and her friends looked towards Korra and saw as she opened her eyes, showing her entering the Avatar State. She raises herself into the air with airbending and sends a blast of air, fire, and earth. She bends the sea at the bottom of the cliff to make a large wave. They smiled and cheered for Korra as she had all her bending abilities back, feeling new and improved. Korra exits the Avatar State and looks back to see Mako smiling at her. She looked at him and smiled and felt a playful nudge from Twilight and looked to her. “Go on, he’s not going to give up on you.” She pointed out to her.
Korra smiled at her and put her hand on her shoulder. “Thanks Twilight.” She said to her and looked to Mako, and started running towards him. She rushes up to him and jumps to him as Mako caught her in a hug as they spun a bit, she soon broke the hug and smiled at him. “I love you too.” She finally accepted his love as the two bending teenagers leaned to each other and kissed each other, causing their two Jinsei gems to glow brightly and float out of their pockets, and merge into one, forming into that of a Yin Yang symbol that was blue and amber colored.
Twilight walked up to it and took it in her hand to examine it. “Extraordinary…” She commented.
“What does it mean?” Sunset asked her.
“It means that their destinies are now sealed.” Twilight smiled happily for them.
Upon releasing the kiss, Korra smiled at Mako and looked and saw Liu Kang and Raiden approaching. “Well done Korra… you came far in this journey, just as you were taught.” Raiden said to her.
Hearing it surprised, Korra soon put it all together and smirked. “You knew this would happen, didn’t you?” She asked her as Raiden smirked with a wink, causing her to chuckle and walk up to him. “Okay, for that, I’m gonna beat you up.” She went to throw a playful punch, but Raiden managed to catch her and put her into a headlock, feeling her struggle from it.
Everyone, even Liu Kang laughed at seeing it as he wiped a tear. “Korra, if you go against Lord Raiden, you’re going to lose.” He said to her.
“Liu, come on! I’m suffocating here!” Korra shouted as she struggled, Liu looked to Raiden raising his eyebrows as Raiden smirked and let her go seeing her fall onto the snow. She chuckled and threw a snowball at him, getting up as she looked to Liu. “You know, when we defeated Amon, I almost thought I saw you with flaming hair back there.” She told him.
He was surprised of this, as was Raiden for that matter. “It might have been a vision you saw… a vision of the future, or one possible future. I will look into it, but for now… we have much damage to repair, starting with Lin.” He told her, seeing her smile knowing that she now had the power to make that happen.
(~)
At the village, Korra uses the technique that Aang showed her on Lin to restore her bending. Korra's eyes glow as she enters the Avatar State and light emanates from her thumbs as she uses energybending. When Korra has finished, Lin climbs to her feet and simultaneously lifts several large rocks into the air at once. Everyone watches with awed expressions on their faces, Bolin's eyes almost popping out of his head. Lin slowly brought the rocks back down, and looked to Korra with a smile. “Thanks you.” She said to her as Korra nodded. Lin soon turned towards Stryker who smiled at her, causing her to smile back and walk to him and hold him. “You still owe me dinner.” She said to him.
He chuckled from hearing it, looking to her as he caressed her face where she had scars. “Home cooked?” He asked her.
“Sounds good to me.” She agreed and kissed him.
Johnny’s eyes bulged from seeing it as his jaw dropped in shock from seeing it. “Did not expect that.” He admitted.
“Hey, give the guy some credit, he managed to get a girl after all this time.” Jax said to him with a smirk.
Tenzin smiled for his ex and looked to Korra and walked up to her. “I am so proud of you, Avatar Korra.” He said to her with a smile.
Korra smiled back from hearing it. “I couldn’t have done it without my friends.” She said as she looked to Twilight and the others, even Celestia who stood beside Raiden while holding their daughter Solar Storm. Celestia and Luna smiled at her and bowed respectfully as Korra bowed back to them and looked to Kotal. “So, what will you do now?” He asked him.
“I must return to Outworld, my absence has left it vulnerable. I will also take Rain and Tanya to lock them up in prison, for endangering this realm and it’s inhabitants.” He said to her as he gestured to the tied up duo.
“Will Jade be joining you? I mean, you two are still an item right?” Korra asked him out of curiosity.
“It is difficult to say.” Jade walked up and looked to him. “But I’m sure we can work it out.” She smiled a bit.
Kotal smiled at her and looked to Korra. “I hope that one day, we will have our rematch, Avatar.” He said to her.
A smirk formed across Korra’s face as she crossed her arms. “I look forward to it Kotal Kahn.” He said to him as Kotal nodded and walked towards Shang Tsung and Chrysalis, along with Legion who had Kano tied and gagged to keep his mouth shut for his trip to the Special Forces prison. They leave him to Sonya, and walk through a portal to Outworld with Rain and Tanya. Kotal stopped and took one last look to Jade and smiled at her as she smiled back at him as she watched him head in through the portal to Outworld. Korra chuckled and walked up to her. “I knew it, you still love him.” She said to her.
“Don’t start young Avatar, or I will hurt you.” Jade warned her as she walked away.
Mileena chuckled as she nudged Korra. “Don’t let her get to you, she’s harmless sometimes.” She said to her.
Korra rolled her eyes and looked to T’Challa and Killmonger. “So what will you two do now?” She asked them.
“We will be returning to our dimension, and bring back all the Vibranium my cousin stole.” T’Challa said to her as he earned a stern look from Killmonger.
“Sheesh, way to bring that back up cousin.” Killmonger said to him.
“Besides that, it was an honor to have met you Korra.” T’Challa said to her, Korra smiled and bowed to him respectfully, but T’Challa stopped her from doing so. “There’s no need for that, in Wakanda, we do not bow to one another.” He said to her as he smiled and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Take care of yourself, Korra.” He said to her as Korra nodded to him while Killmonger opened the dimensional gate for them.
Just as he and his cousin were about to walk through, Killmonger looked towards Artemis seeing her looking at him. She looked away, trying to avoid eye contact with him, but that didn’t stop him from getting her attention. “Artemis… why don’t you come with us?” He asked her, earning a surprised look from her.
Kratos looked to her and walked up to her. “Artemis, this dimension has had its fair share of suffering… theirs could use a new hero. One who’s heart is noble… like yours.” He said to her.
Artemis thought about it for a moment, but looked towards Killmonger and walked over to him and looked him in the eye. “I saw something in your heart when we first met… at first I thought it was nothing but hatred. But now I see that it was only sadness, because you were all alone… like I was.” She said to him and smiled.
He smiled back at her and took her hand, the two panther warriors and the goddess headed for the dimensional gate and headed through it as it closed behind them. Rarity sighed at seeing it. “I’m going to miss them.” She muttered as Sub-Zero in his new uniform walked up and touched her hand.
“We might see them again… but there may be no guarantee of it.” He said to her, getting her to nod in response.
“This realm has changed in many ways since we first arrived here.” Scorpion said as he looked to Fluttershy. “There is no telling what will happen next when Shinnok comes.” He stated.
“But if he does, we’ll be ready.” Fluttershy said to him as she reached up and took off his mask, pulling him in and kissing his cheek. Causing him to blush, but smile from feeling it.
Kipo soon walked up with her hands at her hip. “I think I’ll stick around for a while, I’m already enjoying my time here with these guys.” She said as she looked to Raiden. “As long as I get to send messages to my friends and family in my dimension to let them know I’m all right.” She said
“They know… I’ve been keeping them updated in your progress here. So they can put their worries to rest.” He informed her as she smiled and looked to the others.
“Now the question remains… what to do with Starlight?” Rainbow looked towards her, who stood in silence as she looked down.
Celestia looked to her and gave Raiden their daughter and walked towards her. “Starlight Glimmer… though it is understandable that you held a strong hatred towards those who robbed you of your friendship, forging a spell to travel in time is crossing the line.” She told her as Starlight flinched from being reminded of it. “However… since you saw the light, and error of your ways… I am offering you redemption, and a full pardon of all your crimes.” She said to her.
Starlight was surprised of this offer and looked down thinking it over… she never imagined she’d change so much in a long while. But once she looked to Twilight and her friends, they smiled at her and gestured her to take the offer. Even Korra nodded to her to accept it, causing the unicorn turned human to smile and looked to Celestia and bow to her. “I humbly accept your offer, Princess Celestia.” She said to her as Twilight and her friends cheered.
Pinkie giggled and came up with a grand idea. “Ohh, this calls for a PARTY!!!” She screams as she grabbed her friends in excitement.
(~)
Later that night, instruments from Equestria were brought to the Main Six, those being a flute, an accordion, a violin, and a bagpipe. Pinkie took the bagpipes while Applejack took the accordion, Rarity took the violin while Fluttershy took the flute. The group soon took positions knowing the perfect song for the occasion.
Firecracker- A Dungeons and Dragons Inspired Original Song belongs to Cami-Cat
The song started off with an accordion solo from Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie joined in with their instruments, playing a form of Celtic form with it while the crowd clapped their hands and stomped their feet together in a unique rhythm. Korra and Mako smiled at hearing it as they watched. Kipo stepped up and began to vocalize to the crowd, Twilight and Flash smiled as they looked to each other and danced to the song.
Kipo;
There once was a girl who could blend into the night
Her speed was like a lightning, her step as if in flight
And before she slipped away, he tried to call her with a plea
"Won't my firecracker come back and dance with me?"
She gestured to Korra and Mako as the two looked to each other, but looked away for a bit knowing they danced for the first time back at the gala that Tarrlok orchestrated, but they smiled and looked to each other knowing it wouldn’t kill them to have another dance together.
Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm
Crowd;
“Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm”
Kipo;
Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?
Crowd;
“Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?”
Main Six;
Set all the world into a mighty blaze
Dance the night away
Light up the night with your fiery gaze
He won't forget your face
Korra smiled at hearing the song and looked to Mako and took his hand and headed to the dance floor with him, he willingly followed with her as Kipo noticed it and smiled looking to Sunset and winked to her. She winked back and used her magic to set the mood.
Kipo;
It was then that the girl came into his side
Shining brighter than any star in the sky
Spinning round, her feet kicked the ground into a spark
Korra danced with Mako in a Celtic style dance as her outfit, curtesy of Rarity, changed to a long flowing dress which stunned him to see just how more beautiful she was. Even with her hair down, Liu and Kitana watched it happen and smiled as they looked to each other, knowing this moment was perfect for them.
Setting fire ablaze inside of his heart
With a dance she began to warm his world again
And he knew he would love her until the very end
Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm
Crowd;
“Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm”
Kipo;
Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?
Crowd;
“Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?“
Main Six;
Set all the world into a mighty blaze
Dance the night away
Let your love ignite the flame in your heart
You will never be apart
Kipo & Crowd;
Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm
"Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm"
Korra and Mako danced with one another to the rhythm of the music as they held each other close, Liu and Kitana watched as Kitana took Liu’s hand and took him to the dance floor to dance with him. Luna smiled as she took her niece from Celestia to let her and Raiden join in, which they gladly did as they headed to the dance floor together.
Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now hear our anthem?
"Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?"
Korra twirled around Mako as she held his hand and twirled in front of him and looked to his face with a smile.
Come and dance now, firecracker!
Stomp your feet to the rhythm!
"Come and dance now, firecracker
Stomp your feet to the rhythm"
Mako looked at Korra as he heart skipped several beats, but he smiled at her as he caressed her cheek.
Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now hear our anthem?
"Come and dance now, firecracker
Won't you now heed our anthem?"
Kipo and the crowd finished the song as Korra and Mako leaned to each other and kissed each other just before the song ended. Everyone cheered for them, even Tonraq and Senna were proud of them. They could pant be any happier for their daughter, even Raiden was proud of them, and prayed that they remain happy.

Meanwhile on a mountain side, Nightmare Moon was watching them from a far distance, glaring at them for their victory. “Celebrate while you can… it won’t stop Shinnok from arriving in this realm, and destroying everything you hold dear.” She warned them as she turned away and vanished.
Author's Note
My god this took forever! But I enjoyed every minute of it! Hey guys, sorry for my absence, I finally got a job, and man it’s been kicking my ass like crazy. But either way, here is the latest chapter, and yes, I did send in a few hints of Fire God Liu Kang. But it won’t be exactly like the Mortal Kombat 11 design, it will be a bit more like the Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms style, minus the whole body being made entirely out of fire, but you never know. But hey, I hope you guys like what I did, including the plot twist at the end, and the song that I included.
