Chapter 39: Sukra's End

Korra finally found Sukra in one of his tunnels and burst in through the door. Sukra stood up shocked and then backed up when he saw Korra. "Who are you?' He asked not realizing it's the Avatar.

"You are to be punished for your crimes Sukra." Korra said rushing toward him. Sukra pushed a button and a secret passage opened up. Sukra went through and closed the door as he ran off. Behind him a blast was heard as rock shards went flying through the tunnel. Sukra fired off explosive fireballs and then turned the corner and took a peek to see what happened. As the balls hit, they created a dust cloud and for only a moment did Sukra relax. That was until Korra came out from the smoke and continued chasing him. He ran down the tunnel and whistled. Many guards came from around corners and blocked Korra's path.

Sukra ran as fast as he could. "I need a new place to hide." Sukra continued running and then got cut off by a bright white light. Sukra turned around and went down another tunnel. As he ran, he pushed in a few rocks into the wall activating traps. "Let's see her get through that without getting killed." Sukra continue to run and finally made it out of the tunnel and ran toward another entrance. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath. "The Avatar will not get me." Sukra ran over to a table and sat down at the small bar. He grabbed a drink and laughed a little.

"Sukra, Sir, are you ok?" A man asked behind the counter.

"Yeah, the Avatar found me but I'm good at least I believe it's the Avatar." The man behind the counter handed Sukra a drink. Just then a rock hit the man in the side of the head knocking him out. Sukra stood up and turned. "No, how did you find me?" Sukra then began running again. A clump of rock came down beside Sukra who managed to get out of the way. Small rock shards flew toward him as he turned the corner. The shards chipped away the corner of the rock wall. Soon Sukra turned down another path but this one made of metal rods. "Bend this Avatar." Sukra continued to run but started getting tired. Sukra looked behind him for a second and then turned back to see Korra in front of him. He turned to run again but the metal rods and pipes formed a barricade. Sukra's eyes widened and then fired off balls of fire at the ceiling causing rock to fall in front of Korra. Sukra then shot himself out of the hole and landed on the ground above.

"Sir, are you." The woman talking then went flying upward into the air and landed on a nearby building.

Sukra used his fire bending to fly into the air and began weaving around buildings and firing balls at the buildings to distract Korra. Korra however wasn't slowed down or distracted by this, she simply redirected the balls into the air as she continued to chase Sukra. Sukra finally ran out of energy and landed on top of a building and prepared himself to fight. Korra landed next to him and made her way towards him. "You're no better then Ozai was when Avatar Aang was around but you will suffer the same fate." Korra made her way toward Sukra when she decided to form a wall around them of metal and rock. Sukra tried to fly off but Korra used the metal below Sukra's feet and wrapped it around his ankles. Sukra couldn't move now. He tried to keep her back with fire but two metal rods wrapped around his wrists keeping him from moving his arms. She quickly went over and touched his head and his chest in the correct way and took his bending. Having done that, she released Sukra and then lowered the wall just as a rock came flying in and knocked her unconscious.

As Korra began to black out, she noticed Iroh coming towards her and blocking the rocks. Tenzin then picked her up and carried her off. When Korra woke, she could hear thunder roaring and the rain pounding against the walls. "Where am I?" Korra asked looking around still completely white.

Mako ran over to her smiling widely. "Korra, you're ok."

"Of course I am, how long have I been out?" Korra asked realizing that she must have been asleep for some time.

"It's been two weeks Korra. You're ok though so that's all that matters." Mako gave Korra a quick hug and a kiss and then smiled. "The world is worried about you Korra."

"Yeah, really?" Korra's said, voice weak and sore.

"Most are but there are a lot of people upset with us. They're upset that you're pregnant. Let's just say that Ikki is a blabbermouth." Mako smiled not wanting to tell Korra the news quite yet.

"I know that, she blabbed to Asami that I liked you when you two were dating." Korra chuckled as she tried to sit up but was too weak. "I'm hungry Mako, could you get something for me, anything?" Korra asked. Mako nodded and then left. Then Xian came into the room. "Xian, what do you want?"

"I'm sorry and you're right, I was wrong to do that. Believe it or not Avatar, I was scared for my life, the baby's life. After I woke up from you knocking me out, I found myself in the hospital. At first I was worried that my baby was gone but they reassured me that it's fine. I'm sorry Avatar Korra, I won't be seeing you again." With that Xian left leaving Korra a bit confused. Mako came in shortly with a ton of food. "Thanks Mako." Korra noticed a sad look on Mako's face. "Mako, what's wrong?" Mako held up a mirror showing that Korra's glow had gone. "I'm not in the Avatar state, so." Korra didn't get it.

"That's the problem Korra." Mako took in a deep breath. "The baby is gone Korra. We tried everything we could to keep you and the baby alive but it appears that the necklace took the life force from the baby and gave it to you to keep you alive. I'm so sorry Korra." Mako looked away sadly.

Korra began shaking and then calmed herself down. "I'm sad to hear that but the important thing is that I'm still here. We can always" Mako cut her off shaking his head and then held up the necklace. Korra raised her hand to her chest.

"It came off you shortly before you woke. It's time we destroy it." Mako looked away.

"No children then?" Mako shook his head. "Ok, I guess we weren't meant for that I suppose." The two cuddled up together as much as they could with Korra eating.

Three years went by and Republic City finally got repaired after all the damage. The city had a vote for Korra and Mako but the city said no to Korra having kids. Asami and Bolin however had twins, a boy and a girl. Asami is once again pregnant and the kids are exited about it. Xian was never seen again, some in the U.F.S.A say she killed herself but Korra and the others refused to believe that since they had been getting letters from Xian. Xian however didn't want anyone to know where she is and so Korra let everyone believe her to be dead. The Necklace was destroyed after Korra got her strength back. They gave Katara a great funeral and both her and Aang congratulated Korra on a job well done. She was happy to see Katara again. Sukra had been put in a high security prison. No one sees him except for guards that bring him food and even they don't really see him.

Korra never did figure out why things happened, why Chan had the reasons she did and many other questions but she could care less now. She did get one question answered. Turns out that Katara and any waterbending master can actually give up their life force to save another persons life.

Korra and Mako have one secret, though Republic City says no to them having children, the world has a different view. In about another eight months, they will be having a baby or two. Republic City won't happy with it but hey, the rest of the world will be ok with it and that's enough for them.
