Day of the Colossus

- EARTH.

FIRE.

AIR.

WATER.

ONLY THE AVATAR CAN MASTER ALL FOUR ELEMENTS

AND BRING BALANCE TO THE WORLD.

- THE EARTH EMPIRE HAS INVADED THE UNITED REPUBLIC!

AFTER KUVIRA DEMONSTRATED THE POWER

OF HER SPIRIT ENERGY WEAPON, PRESIDENT RAIKO

SURRENDERED THE CITY, BUT THE AVATAR REFUSED

TO GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT.

KORRA HELD BAATAR JR. HOSTAGE, HOPING TO FORCE KUVIRA

TO BACK DOWN, BUT THE PLAN FAILED,

AND SHE FIRED ON TEAM AVATAR'S HIDEOUT.

CAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE STOP KUVIRA AND HER MECHA-GIANT?

- [grunting]

GO AHEAD. TAKE YOUR TIME.

JUST BENDING A GIANT WALL.

MAN, WE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE.

IS THAT EVERYBODY?

KUVIRA'S HEADING OUR WAY WITH A PLATOON OF MECHA-SUITS.

- WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

THIS IS MY HOMETOWN, AND I HATE TO SAY IT,

BUT THERE'S NO USE RISKING ALL OUR LIVES

TO FIGHT THAT GIANT THING.

LET HER TAKE THE CITY FOR NOW.

WE'LL THINK OF SOME WAY TO COME BACK AND BEAT HER.

- WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN EVACUATED YET?

IF KUVIRA FINDS OUT WU IS WITH THEM,

SHE MIGHT FIRE THAT SPIRIT CANNON AT HIM

AND TAKE THEM ALL OUT.

- I COULDN'T STOP KUVIRA FROM TAKING ZAOFU.

I'M NOT LETTING HER CONQUER REPUBLIC CITY.

THE WORLD ISN'T SAFE AS LONG AS SHE HAS THAT WEAPON.

- I AGREE.

WE TAKE DOWN THAT GIANT TODAY.

- LIN!

- GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL MADE IT OUT.

YOU HAD ME WORRIED.

- WELL, YOU BENDERS ARE GONNA HAVE TO FIGHT HER ALONE.

SHE JUST BLEW UP OUR FACTORY WITH ALL OUR HUMMINGBIRD SUITS.

- NOT ALL OF THEM.

THERE ARE THE PROTOTYPES BACK AT MY OFFICE.

IF WE CAN GET THOSE READY TO FLY,

WE'LL AT LEAST BE ABLE TO OFFER A LITTLE AIR SUPPORT.

- SU, YOU TAKE BAATAR JR. AND THE REST OF THE WOUNDED

BACK TO ASAMI'S OFFICE.

GET THOSE SUITS WORKING AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

THE REST OF US WILL JUST HAVE TO FACE KUVIRA ON OUR OWN.

[crowd chattering]

- EVERYONE, PLEASE SETTLE DOWN.

THE TRAINS SHOULD BE RETURNING TO PICK US UP SOON.

- TELL THAT MECHA-JERK TO SETTLE DOWN.

SHE'S THE ONE BLOWING UP THE WHOLE CITY!

- I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF MORE BAD NEWS,

BUT I JUST HEARD ON THE RADIO THAT KUVIRA'S ARMY

HAS DESTROYED THE TRAIN TRACKS.

WE'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CITY BY RAIL.

- EVERYONE, I WAS JUST UP ON THE OBSERVATION DECK

AND SAW A BUNCH OF MECHA-SUIT SOLDIERS HEADING THIS WAY!

- OH, GREAT! THE GIANT ONE WASN'T ENOUGH?

IT'S OVER!

WE'RE ALL GONNA GET BLOWN TO BITS!

- LISTEN, EVERYONE.

I CAN GET US OUT OF HERE IF YOU JUST SIT TIGHT.

CAN YOU STEP OFF THE BENCH, PLEASE?

IT'S A LITTLE CROWDED UP HERE.

- SURE. I'M ONLY THE CONDUCTOR.

NO ONE NEEDS ME ON THE BENCH.

- JUST STAY CALM.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. COME ON!

- WHOA! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- I'M GOING TO GET SOME HELP.

YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THIS UNRULY MOB

FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

- I RAISED MEELO.

I CAN HANDLE ANYTHING.

ASAMI, DISCONNECT ANYTHING ELECTRICAL IN HERE

ZHU LI, LET'S GO.

- WHERE AM I?

MOM?

- JUST REST, SON.

I'M HERE.

- MOM, I'M SO SORRY.

I BETRAYED YOU-- THE WHOLE FAMILY.

I GAVE MY LIFE TO KUVIRA,

AND SHE JUST FIRED THAT WEAPON AT ME.

HOW COULD SHE DO THAT?

- I DON'T KNOW, SWEETIE.

SHE'S A COMPLICATED PERSON.

- WING AND WEI WILL NEVER FORGIVE ME.

AND OPAL...

- YEAH, THEY MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME TO COME AROUND,

BUT WE'LL WORK THROUGH IT AS A FAMILY.

- DO YOU THINK THIS PLAN WILL ACTUALLY WORK, SIR?

- I KNOW I CAN STOP THE MECHA-SUITS

WITH AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE, SO IT STANDS TO REASON

THAT I CAN STOP A GIANT MECHA-SUIT

WITH A GIANT ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE.

ZHU LI, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

- YOU'RE ALWAYS THINKING, SIR.

- YES, BUT LATELY, ' I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU.

I KNOW WE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THIS MESS,

AND I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SOME THINGS I SHOULD TELL YOU.

- THERE ARE?

- I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A BOY,

I HAD AN OSTRICH HORSE.

NAMED HER MRS. BEAKS.

I GREW UP ON A FARM.

DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT, ZHU LI?

THIS WAS BEFORE THE CIRCUS PEOPLE TOOK ME AWAY.

ANYWAY, I LOVED OLD MRS. BEAKS, BUT I TOOK HER FOR GRANTED.

- YOU'LL HAVE TO FINISH YOUR STORY LATER.

KUVIRA'S TROOPS ARE IN RANGE.

OKAY. I HOPE THIS WORKS.

[clanking and booming]

- YES! DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS.

OH, RATS.

SHE'S STILL COMING.

ZHU LI, DO THE THING!

- I'M AFRAID THERE ARE NO MORE THINGS TO DO.

- WHAT WAS THAT?

- AN ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE.

IT SHUT DOWN THE MECHA-SUITS, BUT OUR POWER SOURCE IS FINE.

- LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE PULSE.

THAT MUST BE WHERE VARRICK IS.

THIRD AND FOURTH MECH PLATOONS, MOVE IN AND CONTINUE THE SWEEP.

CAPTURE ANYONE LEFT IN THIS CITY.

- VARRICK, HOW COME YOUR ELECTRO-THINGY

SHUT DOWN THE SMALL MECHA-SUITS BUT NOT THE BIG ONE?

- BECAUSE IT'S POWERED WITH SPIRIT VINE ENERGY.

I'M SORRY.

I WISH I COULD HELP YOU,

BUT IT'S UNSTOPPABLE.

- IT'S NOT.

- DAD?

- I GOT HIM OUT OF JAIL TO HELP.

I FIGURED WE NEED ALL THE GENIUSES

WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON RIGHT NOW.

IF THE PRISON'S STILL STANDING AFTER ALL THIS IS OVER,

WE CAN THROW HIM BACK IN.

- I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL MUST THINK OF ME,

BUT I LOVE REPUBLIC CITY,

AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HER.

- YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO DEFEAT THIS THING?

- YOU MUST ACT LIKE AN INFECTION:

BREAK THE SKIN AND ATTACK THE VITAL ORGANS.

DISCONNECT THE HEART AND THE BRAIN,

AND THIS BEAST CANNOT LIVE.

- BUT HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET INSIDE?

- FUTURE INDUSTRIES HAS PLASMA SAWS FOR CUTTING PLATINUM.

IF WE HAD ONE ON THE MECHA-SUIT...

- BUT THE SAWS ARE WAY TOO BIG.

WE'D NEVER GET THE SUITS OFF THE GROUND.

- I THINK I CAN ADD AN ELECTRICAL ELEMENT

TO THE WELDING TORCH ON YOUR SUIT

AND CONVERT IT INTO A PLASMA SAW.

THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO LAND ON THE GIANT

AND CUT OPEN A HOLE BIG ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE TO GET IN.

- LIKE A METAL MOSQUITO.

- YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO MOSQUITOES THAT LAND ON ME?

I SQUASH 'EM!

- WE'LL HAVE TO ATTACK IN A SWARM

TO TRY TO KEEP YOU GUYS SAFE IN THE HUMMINGBIRD SUITS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE OUR ONLY HOPE.
