Chapter Six: Beginning of the End

[The Ravager]

a door slid open and Trigon walked into a chamber.
he approached Takka (who was hard at work on a device)

"Hello, Takka..."

Takka looked over at Trigon and smiled weakly.

"hi, boss."

Trigon looked over at the table.

"and, what is THIS?"

Takka held up a metal wrist band.

"a new upgrade for the Troopers armor.
this band should deflect attacks quite easily."

Trigon grinned.

"Hmm, YES.
i can see where that would be useful.

now...about "Project: Triple Threat."
how goes your progress on that?"

Takka frowned, sighing.

"all i need is to run a few more tests.
but, if all goes well: they should be ready for use."

Trigon grinned, chuckling a little.

"EXELLENT...heh-heh-heh."

Takka cleared his throat loudly.

"uhh...sir?"

Trigon looked at Takka.

"yes, Takka?"

Takka gulped, then spoke.

"i'm...n-not sure if Project: Triple Threat is a good idea.
i mean, they're pretty Destructive, i don't see what good they can be to anyone."

Trigon eyed Takka...then, chuckled.
he put his arm around him and smiled.

"oh, takka-takka-takka...do i have to explain this to you, AGAIN?"

Takka shrugged.
so, Trigon continued.

"Project: Triple Threat is meant to "Protect" people, not hurt them.
need i remind you how dangerous the benders are?, people that can control the elements!

don't you see?, we NEED Project: Triple Threat.
to protect ourselves and others, Juuuust in case they get too out-of-control."

Takka sighed sharply.

"i know...but, it still seems a bit "extreme."

Trigon patted on his back.

"sometimes, we need to be Extreme to do what is best for the world."

Trigon eyed Takka again.

"but, i sense something else is bothering you."

Takka exhaled sharply, then looked at the four eyed demon.

"Trigon...tell me again how i came to work for you."

Trigon widened his eyes, stuttering a bit.

"w-why...my son found you as a child, of course.
your father was an abusive man, but we rescued you...and, brought you HERE."

"Really?"

"YES...why do you ask?"

Takka looked away, sighing.

"I...i've been having dreams, lately." began Takka

"I see images from my past...but, their "different."
last night, i dreamt that a strange couple saved me from my father."

Trigon widened his eyes in shock, but quickly hid it.

"you...h-have?"

"uh-huh, i've also been dreaming about a girl.
i...don't know her, but she seem familiar, somehow."

Trigon scoffed.

"it's just a dream, pay no mind to it."

"uhh..o-okay, sure.
i'll just get back to work, then."

"YES...you do that."

Trigon turned and walked away.
he stopped at the door to glance at Takka for a moment...then, finally left.

[Elsewhere In The Ship]

Abraxas was sitting in Trigon's "control chair" at the bridge.
typing in some buttons on the arm rest and looking at the many monitors.

"Probe 11-2-4, Progress Report."

(("Doctor Finitevus production of "Dark Emeralds"
is running at One-Hundred and Fifty Percent capacity.")) said a Robotic Voice

"EXELLENT, keep monitoring his progress."

(("Yes, Sir."))

Abraxas looked to another monitor.

"Probe 88-45, Progress Report."

(("Doctor Cortex hasn't made any progress."))

Abraxas groaned.

"why am i not surprised...what of his Niece?"

(("Nina Cortex has developed new MechTech, which has been successful in an attack on a local city."))

"GOOD, then shift your focus on HER.
i seriously doubt that her "Fat Head" uncle will impress me any."

(("Affirmative."))

"Probe 72-98, Progress Report."

(("Subject Negaduck still not found."))

"WHAT!, then find him!
that malicious water fowl is Crucial to my plans!"

(("At once, sir."))

"Probe 7-2-6, Repoooooo-AAAAAAAAHHH!"

the Chair Abraxas is sitting in is suddenly twirled around-and-round rapidly.
once it stops, Abraxas is face-to-very-angry-face with Trigon.

"F-Father!, wa-what a Pleasant Surprise."

Trigon scowled at teh grey skinned teenager.

"doing my job again, huh?"

Abraxas looked around nervously.
he then gets up and dusts the seat, grinning a wide smiling.

"just keeping it WARM for you, My Lord."

Trigon suddenly grabs Abraxas by his throat, choking him slightly.

"Abraxas...wee need to TALK."

"T-Talk!, uhh...a-about what?"

Trigon glared at his son, then turned and took a few steps away.
with his hands behind his back, he spoke softly and calmly (which creeped Abraxas out.)

"When we both Agreed on "employing" Takka to our ranks.
i would (under normal circumstances) wiped his mind MYSELF.

but, for whatever reason...i decided to be a "generous father"
and allow you to do the job that i would of done myself.

I put my faith in you, trust in you..."

Trigon then turned and glared at Abraxas.

"but, it seems you have (unsurprisingly) FAILED ME."

Abraxas stared blankly, stunned at this.

"WA-WHAT?"

"Takka "true memories" are beginning to emerge.
thus coming in heavy conflict with the "altered memories" that you fabricated for him."

Abraxas stood up and faced his father.

"IMPOSSIBLE, my spellcasting was FLAWLESS!"

"NOT according to Takka." said Trigon, sternly

"he's been having dreams, son...dreams of his TRUE past.
thankfully, that is all he percieves it to be: Dreams."

Abraxas scowled.

"does he remember Korra?"

"only slightly."

"but, NOT Fully." said Abraxas

"all we have to do is keep him AWAY from the Avatar.
and, with LUCK, these "lingering memories" will fade away..like Dust in the Wind."

Trigon glared at Abraxas.

"that's quite a risky gamble, boy."

Abraxas snickered.

"Life...IS a gamble, you of all people should know that."

Trigon growled.

"some risks...are too great.
as a businessman, i know this, TOO."

Trigon glared at Abraxas...then, finally exhaled sharply.

"are you SURE he won't remember her?"

"so long as we keep him and Korra sepperate: Not. A. Chance."

Trigon grumbled.

"Carry on then.
but, i warn you: if this mission is compremised because of YOU-"

"Don't worry about it, Dad!
i've got this handled, just Trust Me."

Trigon scowled, then turned and walked away.
once gone, Abraxas grinned evily and snickered.

"yeeees, Trust Me...for NOW."

[Meanwhile, At Republic City]

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

a Door opened, and Pema looked to see Mako and Bolin.

"Mako, Bolin...so good of you to come."

Bolin smiled and waved at the Air Acolyte.
Mako just exhaled sharply, his arms crossed.

"well...we got your message." said Bolin, as he and Mako walked into the house.

"so..how IS Korra?" asked Mako

"not good."

the two boys looked and saw Tenzin approach.

"Korra hasn't left her room in a whole month.
she only comes out to eat, but hasn't trained AT ALL."

"yeah, he hven't seen her at the Pro-Bending Arena, either." said Bolin

Tenzin sighed as he rubbed his eyes.

"i fear that Takka's "departure" has greatly affected her.
not even Jinora, Ikki and Meelo can help her out of this rut.

but, since you two ARE her Best Friends.
then, i was hoping that you might have better luck."

Bolin smiled.

"we'll DO OUR BEST!"

Bolin ran off, while Mako just sighed and followed him.

[Later]

Mako and Bolin approached the door to Korra's Room and stood there.

"soooo...whose gonna knock?" asked Bolin

"your the "happy one", YOU do it."

Bolin shrugged.
he leaned over to knock..but, the door creaked open on it's own.

Mako and Bolin looked in...and, saw a VERY messy room.

"whoa...so THIS is what a Girl's Room looks like!" said Bolin

"NO, this is what Korra's Room looks like." said Mako

just then, the two boys heard a low moaning sound.
they looked over and saw a lump under a blanket on a bed.

curious, they walked inside and approached the bed.
it was clear that Korra was under the covers (and, half awake.)

Mako and Bolin looked at each other.
they both knew that "someone" had to pull the blanket off.

the two immediatly proceeded in a game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors."
however, Mako balled a fist, while Bolin stuck out to fingers.

Bolin grumbled.

"i ALWAYS lose at this game!" muttered Bolin under breath

Bolin faced Korra's bed.
he gulped as he reached over and gripped the covers.

(("please don't be naked, please don't be naked, please don't be..."))

Bolin pulled the covers off...but, immediatly regreted it.

"WAAAHH!"

Bolin collapsed, knocked out by Korra's "body odar."

"i can't feel my NOSE..."

Mako looked at Korra and sighed.

Korra's hair was messy and at full length.
she was still wearing her Water Tribe garbs, but they were stained and faded.

Korra had a blank depressed looking stare.
her eyes were dark and red, indicating continuous tears.

"man...you look terrible."

Korra didn't respond, she just groaned sharply.
Mako exhaled, then grabbed Korra's wrist.

"come on, Kor: GET UP."

Mako tried to pull Korra up.
but, her body was too heavy, and she was motionless.

finally, he released Korra...unable to keep pulling her.
Korra chose this moment to speak, but her voice was low and emotionless.

"it's my fault..." mumbled Korra

"takka gone...and, it's my fault."

Mako glared at Korra.

"No, it's not.
there was no way you could of known-"

"i should of known." said Korra, her tone stern

"I should of known that i was hurting him.
how could i not see it?, it was so obvious that he loved me."

tears formed in Korra's eyes.
she shut them tight, letting them fall down her cheek.

"how could i be so selfish!" exclaimed Korra

"i left him alone in the rain, while i indulged myself in my own selfish pleasures!
i...i swore that i'd protect him from anything, that he'd never be hurt."

Korra sniffled, then cried again.

"but, "I" hurt him, ME.
i'm no better than Karnac was...i'm a monster."

"That isn't true, and you know it.
Takka loved you...and, he ALWAYS did."

Korra sat up and sighed.

"it's Too Late, now.
he's gone...and, he's forgotten me."

"not according to THIS." said Mako, tapping at Korra's pendant

Korra touched Takka's betrothal necklace, looking at it.

"you need to STOP moping, and FIND Takka.
and, when you do...you need to remind him of why he made this."

Korra looked at her necklace.
she then sighed sharply, clutching it tightly.

"how?, i don't even know where to start."

Mako grinned.

"you can Start...by taking a shower, you stink."

Korra stared blankly at Mako.
she then sniffed her underarm...then grimaced, blushing a bit.

"you...(cough, choke) have a point."

[Hours Later]

Korra (now clean and wearing freash clothes)
walked out into a room where Tenzin, his family and Mako and Bolin waited.

"Korra, so nice to see you." said Pema

Korra smiled weakly.

"yeah...nice."

Jinora looked at Korra.

"are...you doing better?"

Korra shook her head.

"no, i won't be better until Takka's back.
but, Mako's right: laying around feeling sorry for myself won't get that done."

"so, what are you going to do?" asked Tenzin

Korra exhaled, frowning.

"i...i don't know, i don't even know where to look.
but, i know that Abraxas guy took Takka OUT of Republic City."

Ikki widened her eyes.

"you mean...YOUR LEAVING!"

"Only until i find Takka...then, we'll both return home."

"where will you go?" asked Mako

"i'll start in Ba Sing Se and ask around.
it's the second biggest city BESIDES this one...maybe someone there heard somethi-"

Suddenly, a bright flash occours outside.
curious, Korra and the others rush to a nearby window and look out.

Korra gasped at seeing the massive green vortex in the sky.
a massive airship soon emerges from the portal and hovered over Republic City.

the ship was darkly colored and frightening.
it was as long as a Skyscrapper was tall (and, just as big.)

the symbol of a jagged "S" with two dots was visible on both sides of the ship.

"well...it seems you won't have to look for Takka afterall." said Tenzin

Pema nodded.

"yes, for it seems his captors...have come to US."

Korra narrowed her eyes, frowning.

"takka." said Korra to herself

[Aboard The Ravager]

Trigon is sitting at his control chair at the bridge.
standing beside him is Abraxas, with several armored troopers at some consols.

"SIR, we are directly over Republic City." said a Trooper

"GOOD...then, let us initiate Phase One." began Trigon

"all units target the Metalbending Police Department.
charge the force field generator and FIRE, i want Chief Bei Fong and her troops CONTAINED!"

"yes, Sir!"

Abraxas crossed his arms and grumbled.

"Something BOTHERING you, Abraxas?" said Trigon, noticing Abraxas additude

"I just don't see why we're wasting out time "trapping" the Metalbender Cops.
why don't we just charge the ship's fusion cannon and atomize them all!"

Trigon scowled.

"the fact that you DON'T understand is exactly why I am "Lord Trigon", and YOU are still only a Lieutenant.

The reason IS, that it takes massive amounts of power to use the Cannon.
and, i wish to conserve energy for something Important, NOT waste it firing at simple cops."

"But-"

"SILENCE!"

Trigon slaps Abraxas across the face with his backhand.

"I. Have. SPOKEN!"

"Lord Trigon, the "RCPD" has been targeted." said a Trooper

"Is the Force Field Generater fully charged?"

"Yes, Sir."

Trigon grinned, putting his hands and fingers together.

"then, FIRE."

"Roger, firing now."

a large gun lowered out of a hatch at the undercarrage of the ship.
the nozzle glowed with a bluish-white light, then fires a beam straight at a building.

the beam impacts the Metalbending Academy, encasing it in a dome of light and energy.
several cops try to break thru, but are knocked back by the force field for their efforts.

Trigon sees it all on one of his monitors.

"Resistance successfully contained, Master." said a Trooper

"GOOD, let us proceed with Phase Two."

Trigon looked at Abraxas.

"Abraxas, YOU do the honors.
open up the dimensional portals and Unleashe The Golems!"

Abraxas nodded, grinning evily.

"as you command...MY LORD."

Abraxas walks over to a console and inputs a series of codes.

[Air Temple Island]

"WHOA!, DID YOU SEE THAT!" exclaimed Bolin

"That Warship fired some kind of beam of light at the city." said Mako

Korra touched her chin and pondered this.

"hmm...i didn't see or feel any kind of explosion.
so, whatever the ship did...it didn't Destroy anything."

just then, Tenzin approached.

"I just got a call from Lin, she says her entire academy is trapped
within some kind of "Energy Dome", the Metalbenders are all being held captive."

"which would leave Republic City unprotected...and, vunerable to attack." said Mako

Korra widened her eyes.

"It's an Invasion."

just then, a bright light is seen in the sky: it's ANOTHER portal.
Korra and the others watch in horror as "something" emerges from the other side.

it looked like a GIANT humanoid bird whose body was of "living flame"
it flew over the city and screeched a horrible, ear-splitting sound.

the Fire Bird soared over the city...and, began to attack.
it unleashed streams at fire at randsom buildings, burning them.

soon afterwards, Another portal materializes.
this time, a Giant spiked turtle shell made of stone fall to the city like a comet.

it impacts the mainland, causing a powerful tremor that even Korra could feel.
the echoed sound of a low roar signaled he arrival of yet Another creature.

Finally, another portal opened.
as expected, it dropped what looked like massive amounts of water into the ocean.

before long, the sea went from calm to violent in seconds.
Korra gasped as a dragon-like sea monster made entirely of Water burst from the waves.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Korra froze in fear and terror as the Water Monster summoned a tidal wave
which slammed into the bay of Republic City, submerging most of it underwater.

the Water Golem then headed towards the city, the sea level rising as it did.
Korra looked and saw the waters near Air Temple Island begin to rise quickly.

"oh, no..." gasped Korra

"TENZIN!, we need to EVERYBODY off the island NOW!"

"WHAT!" exclaimed Pema

"The Water's rising!
and, i think it won't be long til' the Whole Island is underwater!"

Tenzin narrowed his eyes, then turned to the other Air Acolytes.

"EVERYONE, release the Sky Bison and use them to escape the island!
Air Temple Island's going under, so we must all relocate at the nearest city."

the Acolytes nodded, then all ran off.

"Tenzin, y-you don't mean that-"

"Air Temple Island is just An Island, Pema.
getting you, our family and everyone else to safety is more important."

Tenzin looked at Korra, Mako and Bolin.

"let's go, Korr-"

"No."

Tenzin widened his eyes in shock.

"What?"

"No, i'm staying.
i need to get to the City and save it from this invasion."

"KORRA, you can't possably-!"

"Master Tenzin, in case you've forgotten: I AM THE AVATAR!
and, as The Avatar, it is my duty to protect the people from danger."

"Korra, you not a Fully Realized Avatar, yet!
and, this kind of danger would be serious even if you were."

Korra looked at Tenzin and glared.

"I. AM. THE. AVATAR...deal with it."

Tenzin stared at Korra...then, sighed sharply.

"you truely are my father's predacesor."

Korra smiles.

"just get to safety...i'll contact you if i survive."

"you mean if WE survive." said Mako

"and, ME!" added Bolin

Korra turned and faced her two friends.

"No Way, guys.
YOU'RE all going with Master Tenzin to-"

"Not a chance...you NEED us."

"But-!"

"But, NOTHING.
we're a TEAM, Korra...or, have you forgotten that?"

"Yeah!, FIRE FERRETS FOREVER!" exclaimed Bolin

Korra sighed sharply...then, smiled weakly.

"Yeah...you're right.
okay, fine...you can come with me."

Korra's Polar Bear Dog then walked over and nuzzled Korra.
Korra exhaled sharply, petting her snout.

"sorry, Naga...not this time.
YOU have to go with Master Tenzin and the others."

Naga made a moanin sound, as if unhappy.

"I'm SERIOUS!
your my Bestest Friend (aside from Takka)
and, if anything ever happened to you...i'd never forgive myself."

Naga made a whining sound.
Korra then teared up and hugged her tightly.

"take good care of my parents...if things don't go well."

Naga nodded.
she then parte dfrom Korra and walked off sadly.

Tenzin looked at Korra.

"Korra...if this really is the end.
then, just know this: you were a Great student, and an even Greater Avatar."

Korra nodded.

"I know...and, you were the best Airbending Master ever."

Korra then ran up and hugged Tenzin tightly.
she parted, then approached Mako and Bolin.

"come on, guys: Let's go SAVE THE WORLD."

she grabbed their shoulders, then leapt off into the sea.
the three then both dived underwater, disappearing beneith the waves.

Tenzin stared down at the sea...then, sighed sharply.

"Good Luck...Avatar Korra."

[Later]

Korra, Mako and Bolin soon shoot out of the water and onto dry land.
they all look and see some building demolished and the roads cracked and torn apart.

crowds of people ran screaming in terror as the giant monsters attack and, troopers with "S" insigias on their blood red armor shot at them.

Both Korra, Mako and Bolin readied theselves armed woth Water Whips, Fireballs and Stone Gloves.

"it's certainly a good day to die." said Mako

"I plan on living, today." saod Korra

"YEAH!, likewise." added Bolin

The Troopers soon spotted them.

"Hostiles located, PREPARE TO ATTACK!"

"Hostile?, I'LL SHOW YOU "HOSTILE!" exclaimed Korra

the Three Benders soon charged at the Troopers they attacked using their elements, while avoiding the laser shots.

It was going to be a LOOOOONG Fight.

Author Note: This chap is meant to be a "wrap-up"
to bring you all back to the first chapter where this all started.

Anyway, imediatly clarify that even though Takka's lost his memory of Korra.
his memories haven't truely left him, but remain in Bits-and-Pieces
(Alot like Marvel Comic's "Wolverine" from The X-Men.)

I also give suble hints at the other Parallel Realities
That Trigon, and his son Abraxas, have been keeping tabs on.

In order, they are: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
CRASH BANDICOOT
and, DARKWING DUCK.

I also hint that Abraxas himself has a "secret agenda"
one that he's keeping from Scath Trigon, his Father.

I truely make this sound as if Korra's gonna meet her end, aren't i?

is Korra gonna die?
will this story have an UNhappy ending?
will Takka remain an Amnesiac and become a Bad Guy?

heh, NOT ON "MY" SHOW.
