TW (Trigger Warning): graphic violence, death
The first warning in the whole book, this should be interesting. This chapter is kinda sad, you can tell from the warning, and me writing this, I usually type something formal or nothing at all, but not this time
Summery of chapter 8
Both republic city and the southern water tribe are falling apart, the avatar and Hiroku were captured. Everything is looking bad, the chances of winning are getting slimmer for Yin.
Scene 1
Location: the southern tribe
*Nova waterbended at a triangle and turned it into ice which gave her enough time to open its door. She entered and hit the crew then waterbended inside of the engine to destroy it, and she succeeded at that. They now knee what to do with the triangles, thry need to repeat it, fast*
Scene 2
*Hiroku atarted bloddbending himself, at first he did the minimum possible because his chi paths were locked, but one thing about bloodbends is that they control chi paths as they please, which is exactly what he did. He then waterbended at his mom making her fall. The guards quickly tried to stop the water from hitting them as others put him in a sealed black bag, that was the only way to stop a waterbending master from waterbending*
Yin: STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM?? STOP IT
*he hit the glass box multiple times until he broke down in tears, he sat on his knees crying, feeling so weak, he couldn't protect his boyfriend, he couldn't keep the precious gift from shango, the fire ring, he couldn't save the water tribe, he couldn't get the airbending trick right, he just did, nothing. Katsumi's smirk grew bigger as she saw him in defeat*
Scene 3
Location: Republic city
*all citizens were working togethers, benders trying to capture the spirits so that the 3 apiritbenders can take care of them, and non benders with the available technology helping injured people with all they can. Jinora was there, and she felt a massive wave of discomfort"
Jinora: Yin isn't ok
Kai: what?
Jinora: I can feel it, something is wrong
Kai: well we have our own problems to deal with here, he has company, I'm sure they will help him
Jinora: it still doesn't sit right with my spirit not to check on him. I'm gonna go, you can do well without me
Kai: take care of yourself
Jinora: I will
*and with that she left them to deal with the spirits, went on an airbison and left*
Scene 4
Location: the southern tribe
*some of the citizens hanged up on one of the triangles and waterbended all over it then turned water to ice and bended it deep into the ocean. Then they all attempted to attack the airships which were too fast. Jinora arrived*
Nova: hey
Jinora: why do you always sound so dry?
Nova: are you here to judge me or to help us stop those monsters
Jinora: since I'm here I might as well do both
*Jinora bended herself up to dodge an attack from one of the airships, then she went down and created a strong air tornado, it started sucking some ships inside of it*
Jinora: waterbende at the tornado so that the water could enter the ships to break them
*all waterbenders eho were close to her did as she said and the planes did break*
Niko: thank you so much, we can handle the rest on our own *they all left but Nova*
Jinora: where is Yin?
Nova: he fainted before the attack and we put him inside, when the atrack started I asked Hiroku to go get him to safety and I haven't seen them since, maybe they went and hid somewhere
Jinora: no, I'm feeling that the avatar is in danger, i don't think they're safe. Take me to where he last was
*they went to the now destroyed house. Jinora took a meditating pose*
Jinora: I'm feeling his spirit, he's there *she pointed at the water*
Nova: the ocean?
*Jinora nods*
Scene 5
Location: Republic city
*one of the spiritbenders who work for Kataumi got a command from her from the walkie-talkie*
Katsumi: I want you all to back off, go to the spirit world, search for the mother of faces which I know where she is, and spiritbend her and put her in the southern tribe, tell her that the avatar killed her son, Koh so that she would get really angry
*After they got the order and went the door of Katsumi's underground base opened and Jinora and Nova came inside and started fighting with the guards and Katsumi. The fight went on until katsumi threw a metallic shard at Jinora breaking through her skin and crushing her spine making her fall down helpless, Jinora died that simply, after making it through the toughest times, just a small shard. Yin saw what happened, he fell down on his knees from the weakness he felt, his eyes glowed bright, he slowly got up, took a deep breath, and parted his hands, as soon as he did that, the glass cage opened, he stepped out of it and said 'the only way to make peace is by serving justice' and he bended the glass and made it all into shards and sent them. They ripped right through Katsumi and her guards' bodies killing them all. Yin then got out of the avatar state, freed Hirolu then headed toward the lifeless laying body that is Jinora. Hiroku bloodbended her body to see if she's alive, she wasn't. He shook his head and Yin understood that the reason he even made it out of master ushi's place is no longer here with him.
Anger, hopelessness, weakness, and all of those emotions were the perfect mixture to create an avatar that's out of control. His eyes glowed yet again, and he headed outside, he reached the southern tribe in seconds, but Yin didn't wasn't there, Korra was. She bended the ocean and drowned the whole place, after airbending he citizens away. She created the biggest tornado in mankind, running through the whole tribe, ending all of those flying life takers. Back at Republic city, the spiritbenders knew what happened, one of the people that were on the planes told them before crashing, so they all went to the spirit world, where they would be executing plan B.
Scene 6
Location: the spirit world
*the spiritbenders made their way through a deep dark swamp, and at the middle of it they found who they were looking for, the mother of faces
Little explanation:
The mother of faces was never shown in any of the ATLA or TLOK animated series, but it sure showed in the comic books, the mother of faces is a spirit that has the ability to give you a completly new face and according to the comic books, she is Koh's mother (Koh is the face stealing spirit avatars Aang and Yin have met)
The Explanation has ended
*they all bowed down to her then one of them spoke*
The spiritbender: it indeed is an honor meeting a spirit with such high calibre. We came here to inform you that your son, Koh, has been killed by the new ruthless avatar, and we are trying to put a stop to him, we need your help
The mother of faces (angry): my son Koh died? Is that why I was feeling upset these days? Where is the avatar? Take me to him
The soiritbender: we sure will
*they all bended water around her and turned it purple, making her an evil spirit, and she ent from her normal self to her "evil spirit" self, she became a deep dark violet and so did the faces surrounding her.
A/N
Sorry for the short chapter, but it needed to stop here or else it would become as long as two chapters, because once I start the next scene I would only be able to end it very late. Also glassbending!! Since the main ingredient of glass is sand it makes sense, I've been wanting to spoil it so bad and now it's here, glassbending will be explored and explained further more in book III. Have a nice day everyone
