A Leaf in the Wind

male announcer: EARTH.

FIRE.

AIR.

WATER.

ONLY THE AVATAR CAN MASTER ALL FOUR ELEMENTS

AND BRING BALANCE TO THE WORLD.

- REPUBLIC CITY WELCOMES A NEW CITIZEN INTO HER ARMS,

AVATAR KORRA.

AFTER YEARS OF SECLUSION IN THE SOUTH,

THIS MASTER OF WATER, EARTH, AND FIRE,

SEEKS TO ADD AIRBENDING TO HER LIST OF SKILLS.

AND UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF TENZIN,

AVATAR AANG'S SON, SHE SHOULD GO FAR.

BUT WILL THIS COOL, CALM, COLLECTED

MASTER OF AIR BE ABLE TO TAME THIS HOTHEADED TEEN?

[flute music]

♪ ♪

[growling]

- AND IN THE FINAL ROUND, THE BUZZARD-WASPS

WON WITH A DECISIVE KNOCKOUT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO TO THE ARENA TONIGHT,

CATCH A FEW PRO BENDING MATCHES?

- THAT SPORT IS A MOCKERY

OF THE NOBLE TRADITION OF BENDING.

- COME ON, TENZIN, I'VE DREAMED ABOUT

SEEING A PRO BENDING MATCH SINCE I WAS A KID,

AND NOW I'M JUST A FERRY RIDE AWAY FROM THE ARENA.

- KORRA, YOU'RE NOT HERE TO WATCH THAT DRIVEL.

YOU'RE HERE TO FINISH YOUR AVATAR TRAINING.

SO FOR THE TIME BEING,

I WANT YOU TO REMAIN ON THE ISLAND.

- IS THAT WHY YOU'RE KEEPING THE WHITE LOTUS SENTRIES

AROUND TO WATCH MY EVERY MOVE?

- YES, IN ORDER TO LEARN AIRBENDING,

I BELIEVE YOU REQUIRE A CALM, QUIET ENVIRONMENT,

FREE FROM ANY DISTRACTIONS.

- ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE THE MASTER.

[bird chirps]

- SO MY MOTHER INFORMED ME THAT

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO AIRBEND BEFORE.

- [sighs]

YEAH, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY.

THE OTHER ELEMENTS CAME SO EASILY TO ME.

BUT EVERY SINGLE TIME I'VE TRIED AIRBENDING--

[raspberries] NOTHING.

- THAT'S PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT.

WE JUST NEED TO BE PATIENT.

OFTEN THE ELEMENT THAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT

FOR THE AVATAR TO MASTER

IS THE ONE MOST OPPOSITE TO THE AVATAR'S PERSONALITY.

FOR AANG, IT WAS EARTHBENDING.

- YEAH, WELL, I'M ABOUT AS OPPOSITE AN AIRBENDER

AS YOU CAN GET.

- LET'S BEGIN YOUR FIRST LESSON.

- KORRA'S GONNA AIRBEND!

KORRA'S GONNA AIRBEND!

- WHAT IS THAT CONTRAPTION?

- A TIME-HONORED TOOL THAT TEACHES

THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF AIRBENDING.

JINORA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN THIS EXERCISE?

- THE GOAL IS TO WEAVE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE GATES

AND MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM.

- SEEMS EASY ENOUGH.

- JINORA FORGOT TO SAY YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH

WHILE THE GATES ARE SPINNING.

[wind blows]

- THE KEY IS TO BE LIKE THE LEAF.

FLOW WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE GATES.

JINORA WILL DEMONSTRATE.

AIRBENDING IS ALL ABOUT SPIRAL MOVEMENTS.

WHEN YOU MEET RESISTANCE,

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SWITCH DIRECTION

AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.

[wind blows]

- LET'S DO THIS.

[grunting]

AAH!

[groans]

[grunting]

- DON'T FORCE YOUR WAY THROUGH.

- DANCE, DANCE LIKE THE WIND.

- BE THE LEAF.

- AAH!

[birds chirping]

[groans]

- [sighs]

- AIRBEND.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

AIRBEND!

[growls]

[grunts]

UGH.

MAYBE I'M JUST NOT CUT OUT TO BE AN AIRBENDER,

HUH, NAGA?

- LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, I'M COMING TO YOU LIVE

FROM REPUBLIC CITY'S PRO BENDING ARENA,

WHERE TONIGHT, THE BEST IN THE WORLD

CONTINUE THEIR QUEST FOR A SPOT IN THE UPCOMING

CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

GRABS YOUR SNACKS AND GRAB YOUR KIDS

BECAUSE THIS NEXT MATCH IS GONNA BE A DOOZY.

THIS MAKO'S GOT MOXIE.

HE ADVANCES, FIRES TWO QUICK SHOTS.

YOMO IS HAMMERED BACK TO ZONE THREE.

CLOCK IS WINDING DOWN, CAN YOMO HOLD ON?

HE'S TEETERING ON THE EDGE OF THE RING NOW.

THE FIRE FERRETS LINE UP TO STRIKE--

- KORRA, COME DOWN HERE PLEASE.

- YOU SHUT IT OFF AT THE BEST PART.

- I THOUGHT I MADE MYSELF CLEAR.

I DON'T WANT YOU LISTENING TO THIS DISTRACTING NONSENSE.

- BUT IT'S THEIR RADIO.

AND TECHNICALLY, YOU SAID I COULDN'T WATCH A MATCH.

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT LISTENING TO ONE.

- YOU-- [groans]

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT.

ANYWAY, SHOULDN'T YOU--

SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN BED BY NOW?

[growling]

[sniffing]

- I THINK I'M DOING IT WRONG.

- THERE'S NOTHING TO DO.

LET YOUR MIND AND YOUR SPIRIT BE FREE,

FOR AIR IS THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM.

- [laughs]

- IS SOMETHING FUNNY?

- YEAH, YOU'RE TELLING ME TO EMBRACE FREEDOM,

BUT YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME LISTEN TO THE RADIO.

AND FORGET ABOUT LEAVING THIS ISLAND.

- PLEASE, KORRA.

LOOK AT MEELO.

HE'S ABLE TO MEDITATE PEACEFULLY.

- [snoring]

- ACTUALLY, I THINK HE'S ASLEEP.

- WHAT?

WELL, AT LEAST HE HAS THE RELAXING PART DOWN.

- WHATEVER.

NONE OF THIS AIRBENDING STUFF MAKES ANY SENSE TO ME.

- I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED, BUT THESE TEACHINGS

WILL SINK IN OVER TIME.

THEN, ONE DAY, THEY'LL JUST CLICK.

- [inhales]

YEAH, IT'S NOT SINKING IN YET.

I'M GONNA GO GET A GLASS OF LYCHEE JUICE.

- KORRA, THE MEDITATION'S NOT OVER YET.

- DADDY, CAN I HAVE SOME LYCHEE JUICE TOO?

- NO.

- [groans]

- [panting]

- HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY GYM?

- UH, I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A BATHROOM,

AND I GOT LOST.

- AH, THE OLD "I HAD TO PEE" EXCUSE.

YOU KNOW, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU KIDS

SNEAKING IN WITHOUT PAYING.

I'M TAKING YOU TO SECURITY.

- NO, WAIT. - THERE YOU ARE.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, TOZA.

SHE'S WITH ME.

- YEAH, I'M WITH HIM.

- SO, YOU SEE, WE'RE TOGETHER.

- WELL, NOT TOGETHER TOGETHER.

MORE LIKE FRIENDS. - RIGHT, FRIENDS.

NO, NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPLY--

- OH, YOU IMPLIED IT.

- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE.

I GOT WORK TO DO.

- RIGHT THIS WAY, MISS.

- THANK YOU, SIR.

SERIOUSLY, THANKS.

[crowd cheering]

- WHAT DO YOU THINK?

BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE, HUH?

- WHOA.

UNBELIEVABLE.

THIS PLACE IS EVEN MORE AMAZING THAN I IMAGINED.

- NAME'S BOLIN, BY THE WAY.

- KORRA.

- PSST, BOLIN.

- YEAH.

- I TOLD YOU, YOU HAVE TO STOP

BRINGING YOUR CRAZY FAN GIRLS IN HERE

BEFORE THE MATCHES.

GET HER OUT OF HERE.

- AW, COME ON, MAKO.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, I KIND OF PROMISED HER SHE COULD STAY.

BUT, MAN, I GOT A GOOD FEELING.

THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER.

I KNOW IT.

COME HERE, I WANT YOU TO MEET MY BROTHER MAKO.

- MAKO?

WOW, I HEARD YOU PLAY ON THE RADIO.

- COME ON, BOLIN, WE'RE UP.

- OR I COULD MEET HIM LATER.

- YEAH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

MY BROTHER JUST GETS REAL FOCUSED BEFORE A MATCH.

OKAY, I GOTTA GO.

WISH ME LUCK.

NOT THAT I'LL NEED IT.

- [chuckles]

GOOD LUCK. KNOCK THEM OUT!

- INTRODUCING THE FIRE FERRETS.

- AHH! I LOVE YOU, BOLIN!

- THE ROOKIE FERRETS CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE

AND HAVE MADE IT FURTHER THAN ANYONE

EXPECTED THIS SEASON.

BUT TONIGHT THEY FACE THEIR TOUGHEST TEST YET, FOLKS.

AND THEY'RE OFF.

THE TWO TEAMS WASTE NO TIME TRYING

TO BLAST EACH OTHER OUT OF ZONE ONE.

HASOOK IS THE FIRST TO FEEL THE HEAT

OF THE TIGER-DILLOS.

HE TRIES TO RETURN THE FAVOR,

BUT THEY'RE TOO FAST FOR HIM.

WHILE MAKO SHOWCASES HIS TRADEMARK

"COOL UNDER FIRE" STYLE.

- AAH!

- OH, THE TIGER-DILLOS SCORE

WITH A WALLOPING ONE-TWO COMBO.

CAN THEIR TEAMMATE HOLD ON TO THEIR ZONE ONE TERRITORY?

- [grunts]

[buzzer sounds] - GUESS NOT.

MAKO'S OVER THE LINE.

THE TIGER-DILLOS GET THE GREEN LIGHT

AND ADVANCE INTO FERRET TERRITORY.

- COME ON, FERRETS!

- [grunts]

- LOOKS LIKE HASOOK'S IN TROUBLE.

HE'S IN ZONE THREE, TEETERING OVER THE DRINK.

- AAH!

- AND HASOOK TAKES A DIP.

HE'LL BE BACK FOR ROUND TWO,

ASSUMING THE FABULOUS BENDING BROTHERS

CAN HOLD THEIR GROUND UNTIL THE NEXT ROUND.

[buzzer sounds] [bell rings]

- ROUND ONE GOES TO THE GOLDEN TEMPLE

TIGER-DILLOS.

- COME ON, HASOOK, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

[buzzer sounds]

- THE FIRE FERRETS ARE KNOCKED INTO ZONE TWO,

AND THE TIGER-DILLOS ADVANCE.

- [grunts]

[buzzer sounds]

[buzzer sounds]

[bell rings]

THE FIRE FERRETS CINCH THE ROUND

IN THE CLOSING SECONDS.

IT'S ONE APIECE, STILL ANYONE'S MATCH

AS WE GOT INTO THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND.

[bell rings]

HASOOK STUMBLES,

AND NOW HE TUMBLES RIGHT INTO HIS TEAMMATE.

HE AND BOLIN BETTER UNTANGLE QUICK

IF THEY DON'T WANT TO--

OH, TOO LATE!

- OH, NO.

- IT'S ALL UP TO MAKO NOW.

HE'S BOBBING AND WEAVING.

HE'S WEAVING AND BOBBING.

BUT HE'S NOT HITTING BACK.

IF MAKO'S KNOCKED OUT, THE FERRETS'

FABULOUS SEASON IS OVER.

HE DANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE RING,

SURVIVING THE THREE-ON-ONE BARRAGE.

IT SEEMS HIS PLAN IS TO LET THE TIGER-DILLOS

PUNCH THEMSELVES OUT.

AND HIS PLAN IS WORKING.

HAHN IS IN THE POOL.

THEY'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT IN THE TANK,

AND MAKO IS ON THE OFFENSIVE.

IT'S TWO-ON-ONE.

SCRATCH THAT, IT'S ONE-ON-ONE.

AND IT'S AN EARTH AND FIRE SLUGFEST.

THERE'S SO MUCH SMOKE AND DUST FROM THE FIRE FIGHT,

I CAN'T EVEN SEE WHERE THE FIRE FERRET IS.

[cheers and applause]

- IT'S A KNOCKOUT!

WHAT A WINGDINGER OF A HAT TRICK, FOLKS.

MAKO PULLS OFF THE UPSET OF THE SEASON,

WINNING THE MATCH FOR THE FIRE FERRETS.

[cheers and applause]

- WHOO-HOO! YES!

ONE MORE WIN AND WE'RE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

[snaps]

SO WHAT'D YOU THINK, KORRA?

BOLIN'S GOT SOME MOVES, HUH?

- WHAT DID I THINK?

WHAT DID I THINK?

THAT WAS AMAZING.

- YOU DID MORE HARM THAN GOOD OUT THERE.

YOU ALMOST COST US THE MATCH.

- WE WON, DIDN'T WE?

- BARELY. - GET OFF MY CASE, PAL.

UGH.

- USELESS.

- YOU GUYS WERE INCREDIBLE OUT THERE.

ESPECIALLY YOU, MR. HAT TRICK.

- OH, YOU'RE STILL HERE?

- OH, YOU'RE STILL A JERK?

- OOH.

- ANYWAY...

I'VE BEEN IMMERSED IN BENDING MY ENTIRE LIFE,

BUT I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO MOVE LIKE THAT.

IT'S LIKE THERE'S A WHOLE NEW STYLE HERE.

THINK YOU COULD SHOW ME A FEW TRICKS?

- ABSOLUTELY.

- RIGHT NOW? COME ON, BOLIN.

- JUST IGNORE HIM.

YEAH, I COULD SHOW YOU THE BASICS.

I'M JUST NOT SURE HOW MY EARTHBENDING

WOULD TRANSLATE TO YOUR WATERBENDING,

BUT WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

- WON'T BE A PROBLEM.

I'M ACTUALLY AN EARTHBENDER.

- I'M SORRY, NO, NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO ASSUME.

'CAUSE I--YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST FIGURING--

WITH YOUR WATER TRIBE GETUP, THAT YOU ARE

A WATER TRIBE GAL.

- NOPE, YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M A WATERBENDER.

AND A FIREBENDER.

- MM. MM-HMM.

I'M VERY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

- YOU'RE THE AVATAR, AND I'M AN IDIOT.

- BOTH ARE TRUE.

- NO WAY.

THE AVATAR!

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.

THAT WAS GREAT. GOOD POWER.

BUT, IN A REAL MATCH, YOU'D BE

A SITTING TURTLE-DUCK.

NOT SO UPRIGHT AND FLAT-FOOTED.

STAY LIGHT ON YOUR TOES, RIGHT UP UNTIL THE MOMENT

WHEN YOU NEED TO DIG IN AND STRIKE.

THEN-- POP! POP!

- OKAY, LET ME TRY IT AGAIN.

- WOW! NICE ADJUSTMENT.

YOU'RE A NATURAL AT THIS.

- NOT BAD.

- WHAT'S IT TAKE TO IMPRESS THIS GUY?

- WHAT?

I SAID, "NOT BAD."

YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S GETTING LATE.

I THINK I'M GONNA TURN IN.

YOU KIDS HAVE FUN.

NICE TO MEET YOU, AVATAR KORRA.

- YEAH, BEEN A REAL PLEASURE.

- SEE YOU UPSTAIRS, BRO. - UPSTAIRS?

YOU GUYS LIVE HERE? - YEP.

IN THE ATTIC.

IT'S NOTHING FANCY, BUT WE HAVE SOME GREAT VIEWS.

SO BACK TO BENDING.

WHY DON'T YOU THROW THAT COMBO ONE MORE TIME?

- AAH!

[grunting]

- PATIENCE, KORRA.

- [grunting]

[yelling]

- THAT WAS A 2,000-YEAR-OLD HISTORICAL TREASURE.

WHAT-- WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

- THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.

I'VE BEEN PRACTICING, JUST LIKE YOU TAUGHT ME.

BUT IT ISN'T SINKING IN, OKAY?

IT HASN'T CLICKED LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD.

- KORRA, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING YOU CAN FORCE.

IF YOU WOULD ONLY LISTEN TO ME.

- I HAVE BEEN.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

MAYBE THE PROBLEM ISN'T ME.

MAYBE THE REASON I HAVEN'T LEARNED AIRBENDING YET

IS BECAUSE YOU'RE A TERRIBLE TEACHER.

- [grunts]

- YEAH, YOU'RE A TERRIBLE TEACHER, DADDY.

WAH!

AAH!

- OKAY, EVERYONE HERE?

WAIT, WHERE'S KORRA?

- HONESTLY, PEMA, I AM AT MY WIT'S END WITH THAT GIRL.

I--I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THROUGH TO HER.

- DEAR, THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW

IS TO GIVE KORRA SOME SPACE.

- YOU MUST PROMISE ME THAT YOUR TEENAGE YEARS

WON'T BE LIKE THIS.

- I WILL MAKE NO SUCH PROMISES.

- I DIDN'T MISS YOUR MATCH, DID I?

YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU LOST ALREADY.

- WE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE.

- HASOOK'S A NO-GOOD NO-SHOW.

- YOU GOT TWO MINUTES TO COME OUT READY TO PLAY,

OR YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED.

- WELL, THERE GOES OUR SHOT AT THE TOURNAMENT...

AND THE WINNINGS.

- CAN'T YOU ASK ONE OF THOSE GUYS TO FILL IN?

- NO, THE RULES SAY YOU CAN ONLY COMPETE ON ONE TEAM.

- WELL, THEN... HOW ABOUT ME?

I'M A TOP-NOTCH WATERBENDER, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

- BUT YOU'RE THE AVATAR.

ISN'T THAT CHEATING?

- IT ISN'T CHEATING IF I ONLY DO WATERBENDING.

- NO WAY, I'D RATHER FORFEIT

THAN LOOK LIKE A FOOL OUT THERE.

- WOW, THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

- TIME'S UP, YOU IN OR OUT?

- WE'RE IN. - WE ARE? - YES! - HEY, I DIDN'T AGREE TO THIS.

- YOU CAN THANK ME LATER.

- THIS GIRL IS CRAZY.

- LOOKS LIKE THE FIRE FERRETS HAVE FERRETED OUT

A LAST-MINUTE REPLACEMENT WATERBENDER.

LET'S SEE IF SHE'S ANOTHER DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH,

LIKE THE BROTHERS FROM THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS.

- DON'T DO ANYTHING TOO FANCY OR AGGRESSIVE.

IN FACT, DON'T DO ANYTHING.

JUST TRY NOT TO GET KNOCKED OFF THE RING.

- YOU GOT IT, CAPTAIN.

- PLAYERS, ARE YOU READY?

[whistle blows]

[bell rings]

- AAH!

[splashes]

- WHOO-HOO!

MAN OVERBOARD.

- FIRE FERRET WATERBENDER, PENALTY.

MOVE BACK ONE ZONE.

- WHAT? WHY?

- YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO KNOCK PLAYERS

OFF THE BACK OF THE RING, NOT OVER THE SIDES.

- OH, WHOOPS.

[bell rings]

- AND WE'RE BACK IN ACTION AFTER THAT HICCUP.

BUT I'M NOT SO SURE THIS REPLACEMENT PLAYER

KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING.

[buzzer sounds] - FOUL, OVER THE LINE.

MOVE BACK TO ZONE THREE.

- I'LL SHOW YOU OVER THE LINE.

[audience booing]

[bell rings]

- THE PLATYPUS-BEARS TAKE ROUND ONE.

THE PLATYPUS-BEARS KNOW A GREEN PLAYER

WHEN THEY SEE ONE.

AND THEY ARE FOCUSING THE BRUNT OF THEIR BENDING

ON THIS POOR GIRL.

- [growls]

- WAIT A MINUTE, DID THAT WATERBENDER JUST EARTHBEND?

[gasping]

[whistle blows]

- FOUL, I THINK.

- [chuckles]

- DID I SEE THAT RIGHT? - [sighs]

- HOLD ON, FOLKS, WE'RE JUST WAITING

FOR THE REFEREES' OFFICIAL CALL,

BUT I THINK THIS REPLACEMENT PLAYER COULD BE--

- PARDON ME, EVERYONE, HAVE YOU SEEN

KORRA THIS EVENING?

SHE'S NOT IN HER ROOM. - YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.

SHE'S THE AVATAR, FOLKS!

PLAYING IN A PRO BENDING MATCH.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

- I'LL GET HER MYSELF.

- THE AVATAR WILL BE PERMITTED TO CONTINUE,

SO LONG AS SHE SOLELY BENDS WATER. all: AWW.

[bell rings]

- THIS GIRL MAY BE THE AVATAR,

BUT SHE'S NO PRO BENDER.

AND THE PLATYPUS-BEARS ARE INTENT

ON EXPLOITING THAT WEAKNESS.

THEY'RE GIVING HER THEIR BEST,

AND HER BEST AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO STOP IT.

[buzzer sounds]

AND SHE'S IN THE DRINK.

- [grunts]

OH, HEY, TENZIN.

I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T LIKE COMING TO THESE MATCHES.

- ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE FLAGRANTLY

DISOBEYED MY ORDERS.

YOU WERE TO STAY ON THE ISLAND.

LET'S GO. - NO.

I'M KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.

- I HAVE TRIED MY VERY BEST TO GET THROUGH TO YOU

BY BEING GENTLE AND PATIENT,

BUT CLEARLY THE ONLY THING YOU RESPOND TO IS FORCE.

SO I AM ORDERING YOU TO COME BACK TO THE TEMPLE RIGHT NOW.

- WHY?

SO I CAN SIT AROUND AND MEDITATE

ABOUT HOW BAD I AM AT AIRBENDING?

YOU KNOW, I'M BEGINNING TO THINK THERE'S A REASON

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LEARN IT.

BECAUSE MAYBE I DON'T EVEN NEED IT!

- WHAT?

THAT IS A LUDICROUS SUGGESTION.

THE AVATAR NEEDS TO LEARN AIRBENDING.

IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.

- NO, THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO LEARN.

MODERN STYLES OF FIGHTING.

- BEING THE AVATAR ISN'T ALL ABOUT FIGHTING, KORRA.

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN THAT?

- I HAVE A MATCH TO GO FINISH.

[bell rings]

- THE PLATYPUS-BEARS WIN ROUND TWO.

ROUND THREE.

- THE PLATYPUS-BEARS COME OUT OF THE GATE

AND QUICKLY GO AFTER THE FERRET BROTHERS.

THEY'RE CORRALLED IN THE CORNER,

WEDGED IN THE EDGE OF ZONE ONE,

UNABLE TO COME TO THE AVATAR'S RESCUE.

AND, BOY, DOES SHE NEED IT.

[cheers and applause]

- [grunts]

- LOOKS LIKE THE AVATAR'S PRO BENDING DEBUT

IS GOING TO BE CUT SHORT. - UGH.

- SHE'S BEEN PUSHED BACK TO ZONE THREE,

AND THE WATER IS CALLING HER NAME.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE--

HOLD THE PHONE. STOP THE PRESSES.

SHE'S STILL IN THE GAME, FOLKS.

AND SHE'S MOVING LIKE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PLAYER.

ALL OFF A SUDDEN, THE PLATYPUS-BEAR STRIKES

ARE ONLY STRIKING AIR.

- HOW ABOUT THAT?

- THE PLATYPUS-BEARS HAVE NO JUICE LEFT,

BUT MAKO AND BOLIN ARE STILL FRESH AND JUICY.

- [grunting]

[buzzer sounds]

[buzzer sounds]

[buzzer sounds] - AAH!

[bell rings] - KNOCKOUT.

- WHOO-HOO!

- THE FIRE FERRETS COME FROM WAY BEHIND

AND STEAL THE WIN.

WHAT AN UPSET, FOLKS.

THE ROOKIES, AVATAR IN TOW, HAVE NABBED A PLACE

IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

[laughter]

- YES! - YEAH!

- KORRA, WHAT CAN I SAY?

YOU REALLY CAME ALIVE IN THAT LAST ROUND.

THE WAY YOU DODGED THEIR ATTACKS--

YOU ARE A NATURAL.

- THANKS, BUT I CAN'T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT.

SOMEONE ELSE TAUGHT ME THOSE MOVES.

I'M REALLY SORRY...

ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAID.

I WAS REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH MYSELF,

AND I TOOK IT OUT ON YOU.

- I THINK I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY TOO.

I WAS TRYING TO TEACH YOU ABOUT PATIENCE,

BUT I LOST MINE.

- NO HARD FEELINGS? - OF COURSE NOT.

BY THE WAY, YOU WERE REALLY GOOD OUT THERE TONIGHT.

YOU MOVED JUST LIKE AN AIRBENDER.

- WAIT, YOU STAYED AND WATCHED?

- I DID.

PRO BENDING TURNED OUT TO BE THE PERFECT

TEACHING TOOL FOR YOU.

- I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR AIRBENDING PRACTICE.

BRIGHT AND EARLY.

AND, BY THE WAY, I KIND OF PERMANENTLY JOINED

THE FIRE FERRETS, AND WE'RE PLAYING IN THE TOURNAMENT

IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

- [sighs]
