The Legend of Korra

Earth

Fire

Air

Only the Avatar can master all four elements

and bring balance to the world.

The Legend of Korra

Love is in the air!

Since Avatar Korra has arrived in Republic City,

she's only had eyes for one fella: Mako.

The feeling seemed mutual until a fateful accident intervened.

Now, Mako's affections have fallen right into the arms

of the beautiful Asami.

Will love prove to be Korra's most formidable foe yet?

Season 1, Episode 5 "The Spirit of Competition"

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

It's been great having you at so many back-to-back practices, Korra.

Feels good to be back,

although Tarrlok isn't too happy about my leave of absence.

Hey, you joined the Fire Ferrets before you joined his taskforce.

Okay, come on, team huddle time!

It's our first match of the tournament tonight,

I know the three of us haven't been a team for very long, but even so,

the Fire Ferrets have never been this good.

- Are we ready? - We're ready!

Not quite... You'll need these!

- Hey, Asami. - Good morning, Sweetie!

- These new uniforms look great! - You look great, champ!

Well, teammates...

I'll see you before the match tonight,

Asami and I have a lunch date.

Okay, we'll check you guys later, you know, we see you when we see ya.

So... Korra.

There they go, here we are,

alone in the gym.

Just you and me...

Two alone people.

Together...

- Alone. - Uh...

I gotta head back to the Air Temple to train with Tenzin. See ya!

Work with me here, Pabu!

You wanna look spic and span in your new uniform, don't you?

So...

What do you think of Korra, in a...

Girlfriend sort of way?

She's great!

But I think it makes more sense for me to go for Asami!

I was talking about a girlfriend for me!

Leave some ladies for the rest of us!

I know, that's what I thought you meant.

Well, I don't know, Bo.

It doesn't seem like a good idea for you to date Korra.

You just said she was great, two seconds ago.

Yeah, Korra is a great athlete, and Avatar and stuff, but...

I don't know if she is really "girlfriend material".

- She's more like a pal. - Bro, you're nuts!

Korra and I are perfect for each other!

She's strong, I'm strong; she's fun, I'm fun;

she's beautiful, I'm gorgeous!

Okay, I don't care what you think; I'm gonna ask Korra out.

Look, it just isn't smart to date a teammate.

Especially during the tournament.

Keep your head out of the clouds and your priorities straight.

- Okay? - Yeah, yeah, I know, duh!

You know what I'm talking about, Pabu.

Talkin' 'bout real love ...

So how's it going with the tall, dreamy Firebender boy?

You've been spending a lot of time together lately!

Oooh, yeah, tell us all about the magical romance.

What? Ha! Listen to you two,

I-I'm not interested in Mako, or any romantic stuff.

Besides, he's all into that pretty, beautiful, elegant, rich girl...

But let's just pretend for a second I am interested in him...

- What would I do? - Ooh!

I just read a historical saga,

where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general's son,

who's supposed to marry the princess.

- You should do what she did. - Tell me!

She rode a dragon into battle and burned down the entire country,

then she jumped into a volcano... It was so romantic...!

- Uh... - No, no, no!

The best way to win a boys heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets

that makes true lovers sprout wings and fly into a magical castle in the sky,

where they get married and eat clouds with spoons,

and use stars as ice cubes in their moonlight punch.

For ever and ever and ever!

The volcano is starting to make more sense to me now.

Oh, hey, Pema. Hm...

- Uh, how long were you standing there? - Hm...

Long enough.

But trust me, I know what you're going through.

Years ago I was in the exact same situation...

With Tenzin.

Daddy was in love with someone else, before you?

- That's right. - So what did you do?

Well, for the longest time, I did nothing.

I was so shy and scared of rejection...

But watching my soul mate spend his life with the wrong woman...

Became too painful.

So I hung my chin out there and I confessed my love to Tenzin.

And the rest is history.

Wooow...!

Folks, after a year of waiting,

the pro-bending championship tournament is finally here.

Tonight is the first set of matches

in our single elimination sixteen team bracket.

And I gotta tell ya,

these are the most tenacious and talented bending trios this arena has ever seen.

Introducing our first team,

the Future Industries Fire Ferrets!

And their opponents,

the Red Sands Rabbiroos.

What an explosive opening volley!

Both teams quickly recover and unleash a barrage of bending.

I am astonished with the level of improvement

displayed here by the Fire Ferrets.

No wonder the Avatar has been absent from the papers lately.

She's obviously had her nose to the grindstone in the gym.

The Ferrets advance into Rabbiroo territory,

and they're holding nothing back.

Nice prowl there by Mako,

Bolin strikes, Uma dodges...

and all three Rabbiroos are down!

The Fire Ferrets easily take round one.

Round two!

The Rabbiroos are looking for payback,

and they go straight after Bolin.

Korra comes to his defense,

and she Water whacked Uli back into Zone Two!

The Ferrets are on fire tonight, and they win round two.

Round three!

With the Rabbiroos down two rounds, they'll need a knockout to win,

and with the way the Fire Ferrets are playing,

I don't see that happening.

These Ferrets are working together like a well-oiled bending machine.

Bolin passes Ali back into Zone Two,

and the Ferrets get the green light to advance.

The Rabbiroos are just fighting to stay at their feet at this point.

Down goes Ali, and Uma, and Uli!

All three rounds go to the Future Industries Fire Ferrets,

to win the opening match of the tournament!

- U-hu! - Yes! - That's what I'm talking about!

- Thank you, thank you very much! - Wow, we were really connecting,

- ...out there, in that ring! - Yeah!

You know, I feel like the two of us have been connecting really well

- ...out of the ring, too! - Uh...

- Sure! - So, I was thinking we should spend some time together.

We've been spending lots of time together!

I mean, outside of the team.

And not while searching for kidnapped family members or fighting chi-blockers!

I don't now...

- Asami and I... - Look, I really like you,

and I think we were meant for each other!

Korra, I'm really sorry, but...

I just don't feel the same way about you.

Forget I've ever said anything.

Congratulations guys!

You were so amazing out there...

So... Korra... I was thinking...

You and me, we could get some dinner together...

- Sort of a date situation... - Oh...

That's really sweet, but I don't think so.

- I don't feel very date worthy. - Are you kidding me?

You're the smartest, funniest, toughest, buffest, talentedest ...

- ...incrediblest girl in the world! - Hm-hm-hm-hm!

Ah, you really feel that way about me?

I felt that way since the moment I saw you.

Trust me, I know we're gonna have so much fun together.

You know what? I could use some fun.

- Okay, sure. - Yes!

Who's the luckiest guy in the world, right here, Bolin!

- So how'd you like it? - Hmm, it's delicious!

And totally authentic.

I didn't realize how much I missed Water Tribe grub.

That's great, cause this is my favorite joint.

See? You love Water Tribe food, I love Water Tribe food,

just another reason we are so great together.

They are good noodles!

Hey who's that creepy guy over there who keeps glaring at us?

That's Tahno, and the Wolfbats.

Reigning champs, three years running.

Don't make the eye contact!

Uh-oh, here he comes...

Now don't mess with this guy, he's a nasty dude.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Fire Ferrets...

Pro-bending's saddest excuse for a team.

Tell me, how did a couple of amateurs like you luck your way into the tournament?

Especially you, Avatar.

You know, if you'd like to learn how a real pro bends,

I could give you some private lessons.

You wanna go toe-to-toe with me, pretty boy ?

Go for it. I'll give you the first shot.

Korra, don't.

He's just trying to bait you. If you hit him, we're out of the tournament.

Wohoho, I've never seen someone harass Tahno like that.

You are one of a kind, Korra.

- Ha-ha... - Ha-ha!

- What kind of game are you playing? - Uh... pro-bending?

- We've got the quarterfinal match...? - No, I mean with Bolin.

You've got him all in a tizzy and I know you're only using him to get back at me.
