The Legend of Korra

Narrator: Earth.

Fire.

Air.

Water.

Only the avatar can master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

J'j'

- announcer: Six months ago, avatar korra defeated

amon and the equalists.

Since then, the council was disbanded

and the united republic elected its first president,

tenzin's brother, commander bumi,

retired and moved to air temple island

and korra and her boyfriend, mako,

have been the talk of the town.

Peace has come to republic city,

but unbeknownst to the avatar,

danger now threatens the southern water tribe.

This your first watch?

Mm-hmm.

Well then, you'd better keep

your eyes peeled, laddie.

You never know what creatures lurk in the murky depths.

Uh, sir.

What?

Aah!

Man overboard! Man overboard!

- It's pro bending night in republic city,

and have we got a doozy for you.

Fan favorites, the fire ferrets,

are about to take on hot newcomers,

the rhino-lions.

- Now we all know that our last match was garbage.

Terrible.

Even pabu could have done a betterjob.

But that's in the past,

because when you back a fire ferret in the corner,

well, mister, he comes out fighting!

So let's get out there

and bend like there's no tomorrow.

Are you with me?

- Ooh, the fire ferrets go down in the water

and right into the record books

for the fastest knockout in pro-bending history.

Where's mako when I need him?

Looks like you had some car trouble.

Good thing the police are here.

- I think these planes are finally ready to ship.

- I hate to mention the elephant-rhino in the room,

but since your father was thrown in prison,

no company will work with us.

We're nearly bankrupt.

Don't worry.

I'm going to the south pole

to meet with someone who can help us

put future industries back on top.

Wah!

The avatar is the winner!

No fair.

You can't go into the avatar state to win.

You did what?

The avatar state is not to be used as a booster rocket.

You are toying with a dangerous power

that you obviously do not appreciate.

- It's the "avatar state," and I'm the avatar.

Who appreciates it more than me?

- Clearly, you need more training to grasp

the depths of your spiritual connections,

not to mention that you're still a long way

from mastering airbending.

I have mastered airbending.

Punch, punch, punch!

See? Mastered.

Looks pretty good to me.

Is it too late for you to UN-retire

from the united forces?

- The paperwork's gone through, little brother.

From now on, it's 24/7 bumi time!

- You've mastered korra-style airbending.

Now you need to master real airbending.

Hopefully, our visit to all of the air temples

will give you the inspiration you need

to delve more deeply into your studies.

- Can we see where grandpa aang was born?

How many lemurs can I have?

- I want to get tattoos, but instead of arrows

I want lightning bolts.

You can't get lightning bolts.

That doesn't make any sense.

You don't make any sense!

Fight, fight, fight!

No one's fighting.

We're going to have a wonderful time.

Now that the president is in office

and I'm not needed on the council,

I can finally relax with my family

and give korra the attention she needs.

Great. More attention.

Relax?

I'd pay money to see that.

Maybe I'll tag along just to see "vacation tenzin."

You're not invited.

- Before we go on your dad's study trip,

we're going to have some real fun in my hometown

at the glacier spirits festival.

They've got rides, games,

and all kinds of fried food on sticks.

All: Yay!

Yep, there's vacation tenzin.

And you can't stop me from going to the festival.

Mom already invited me.

So I walk up and say,

"looks like you had some car trouble.

Good thing the police are here."

Did you write that beforehand?

- Yeah, I had a few others. - Let's see, uh...

"Looks like you guys should put more 'try' in triad," huh?

Or, "when you get to jail, tell 'em mako sent ya."

Ooh, I like that one.

Okay, I'll use that next time.

Beifong says if I keep it up,

I could make detective soon.

Oh, that sounds so fun.

All I do is train a" day.

It's like tenzin's totally forgotten how I beat amon.

- Tenzin's just trying to help you become

the best avatar you can be.

Of course you'd take his side.

- I'm not taking his side. - I'm just...

I'm gonna take a walk.

- Why is it so much easier to bust triads

than it is to get through one conversation

with my girlfriend?

Kids: Gran-gran!

Oh, you've all gotten so big.

We missed you, aunt kya.

Oh, I missed you too.

Your father doesn't bring you to visit nearly enough.

He's probably scared I'll beat him up

like when we were kids.

I'm not scared of you...

Anymore.

- You remember mako. - Sir.

- I hope you're not getting my daughter

into any more trouble up in the city.

Uh, no. I, uh... no.

Knock it off, dad.

Wow, look at all these people

that came out to greet us.

- Uh, no. - They came to greet them.

- The great chief of the northern water tribe

comes to grace us with his presence.

Hooray.

Just relax, tonraq.

He'll be gone soon enough.

Whoa, who are the lovely ladies?

- That's eska and desna, the chief's children.

Desna is a guy.

- Oh, no, sure. - I knew that.

And which one is desna?

- Good to see you again, avatar korra.

Good to see you too.

Tonraq.

Brother.

- It's a shame the southerners have abandoned

all connections to the spirits,

even during the most hallowed times.

- I've always loved the glacier spirits festival.

It's fun.

- This festival used to be a solemn time

of fasting and meditation.

Now it's just a chance to watch some rube

try to stick an entire arctic hen in his mouth.

Wha... what? It's so good.

Traditions change.

It's not the end of the world.

- Tell that to the sailors who are being attacked

by angry spirits in southern waters.

Some traditions have purpose.

Wait, spirits are attacking ships?

- I'm surprised the avatar doesn't know about that.

Apparently you haven't been given

all the information you need.

It would be my honor to instruct you

in the spiritual ways of the water tribe.

- I wouldn't mind learning about fighting spirits.

Airbending is getting pretty boring.

Tenzin is korra's instructor.

He can give her all the training she needs.

So you've said.

- I'm glad you came with me to this meeting.

Varrick is one of the richest men in the world,

and he controls the entire global shipping business.

So you're my assistant.

Just stand there and don't say anything.

No problem.

Pabu and I are natural assistants.

Man, this is nice.

I gotta get into this whole "business" thing.

Did you see that? Levitation!
