[Varun] Thanks to Kayoko,
we're working around the clock.
I heard the Faceless nabbed
another bender last night.
- [whooshes]
- [metal clanks]
[Zi] Shame.
The Brigade just sees you
as muscle, sister.
What a waste.
No!
Uki!
We have to go save her.
[Pavi]
I don't understand the Anomaly.
It hurts other people, but
it shows us memories
of our Mom and Dad.
We have to find out
what happened to us.
- [wind whooshing]
- [thunder crashing]
[welding noises]
[Kayoko] No sign of even
a single Haven Envoy.
It's been weeks!
A trek across the Harshlands
is never easy.
Any minute,
we'll be hearing trumpets
for their arrival.
[chuckles]
Ever the optimist.
Or the fool. Time will tell.
[sighs] And if you're wrong,
what will happen to our home?
We don't need to answer
that question just yet.

Long ago, the Avatar,
master of all four elements,
brought forth the Cataclysm.
Out of the devastation,
the world built
The Seven Havens.
Now the Avatar has returned,
but for the first time,
there are two.
Most fear they'll destroy
the world again,
but I believe they will save it.

Hmm?
Why isn't it working?
Meditation can't be rushed.
[blows raspberry]
How exactly will this make us
stronger Avatars?
Being the Avatar isn't only
about being a great bender,
Nisha.
The Avatar is the bridge
between our world
and the spirit world.
Centering your spiritual core
is an important part
of your training.
You need to clear your mind.
Take a deep breath in.

Dry hay?! My nose nemesis!
[groans] If you don't take
this seriously,
you'll never strengthen
your Avatar skills
and unlock the memories
you're searching for!
Meh.
Ooh! New plan!
I'm going to get
some singing bowls
from Shilpa!
That'll help center you!
Good! I'm starving!
Uh Not that kind of bowl.
[sneezes]
[grunts] Wanna build a fort?
We could make
Ruhi's Towering Inferno
of Wind and Sand!
Or Geet's Fortress of Mud!
Those memories are somewhere
in our heads.
[groans]
We've already tried everything!
Now, about this Fortress of Mud.
I've been thinking
there's one thing
we haven't tried:
connecting
with the Anomaly again.
[laughs]
Sure! Let's just zap ourselves
for fun.
Great idea!
Uh, I think you've been standing
on your head too long.
We survived it! Twice!
There's still a bunch
of Anomaly crystals
at the hospital.
If we touch one,
maybe we'll see our parents!
Mmm
There's a chance we'd be able
to learn more
about the Anomaly,
do some heroic Avatar stuff.
I do like heroic Avatar stuff.
- Mm-mm.

[humming a tune]
- [yelps, groans]

Oh, so that's how they sing.
Come on, Jae,
we're going Anomaly hunting!
You said we needed a new plan,
so this is really your fault!

Let's all take a big step back

What was it? What did you see?
It was so fast.
- But I felt

broken?
[wind howls]
That is definitely
not up to code.
[sniffs]
Do you feel that?
We get it, you love the ground.
Yeah, it's my everywhere friend!
But this is different.
Hmm
I don't feel anything.
A rare sect of earthbenders
can sense things underground.
What do you feel?
There's something powerful
below us.
mysterious music plays ♪
You ready?
- [both grunt]
- Wait. Wha
Wait, wait, wait!
[sighs]
Uh Okay, what's worse:
Leaving the Avatars underground
or following
the Avatars underground?
[sighs] Karthik's gonna bury me
underground.
- Wait up!

[Pavi] And here I thought I knew
every boulder and pebble
in Ellora.
ominous music plays ♪
[Jae] I don't think
anyone's been down here
for a very long time.
Wrong. The Anomaly's been here.
[door creaks open]
- [Jae] This is creepy.
- [Pavi] What is this place?
[Nisha] I don't know,
but it's gotta be
from the Old World.
What's it doing below Ellora?
[Jae scoffs] I'm not scared.
Nope, not one bit.
You felt all of this
with your toes?!
I guess I don't know
my own strength?
- [clicks]
- [purring]
[all yelp]
- Oh, hi!
- They can't see you.
It's only polite!
Whoa, an Old World "mover"!
[Pavi] The Old World
looks so strange.
We've got to tell Karthik
about this place!
Huge discovery
of Old World tech.
Oh, is that Form 17-4 or 17-8?

Avatar Korra?

Come back and just tell us

Oh! More crystals!
[sighs]
Field trip over!
Let's head up
to some lovely singing bowls,
a nice quiet meditation,

Great.

Pavi, look at this!
[Pavi] Ooh. Look at those arms.
Hey.
That's Aang!
And there's Kyoshi,
and I think that's Kuruk.
The world used
to love the Avatars.
How did she go from being adored
to destroying humanity?

Huh?
Shockingly, this looks
up to code.

Jae, you really
shouldn't be here.
Neither should you,
so we're busting you out!
We'll fight off all the Faceless
if we have to!
Oh, you sweet airhead.
That's not what I meant.
I want to be here.
What are you talking about?

I can't lose you too!
I just
wanted to see Mom and Dad
so badly.
- [rattling]
- Hmm?
Jae?
[crackling energy]
So you just left your friends,
your family,
without saying goodbye?
[sighs] How could I tell you,
or anyone?
I'd be a pariah,
and so would my family.
That's why the Faceless
set up a fake kidnapping for me.
So now you pillage? Raid?
Sleep in an unsanitary
environment?
Why?!
I want freedom.
I never had a choice
in joining the Brigade.
But it's an honor
to serve Ellora!
Ever since I was a kid,
I've wanted to be a farmer
or a camodillo herder.
I love animals,
and making things grow.
Then when I was ten,
I lit my dad's chair on fire.
And all those choices
were ripped away.
From then on, I was a bender
for the Brigade, nothing else.
[Jae] That's not true.
Being in the Brigade,
you get to be a part
of something more
than just yourself.
I've always wanted to help.
[laughs]
We're not all like you, Jae.
Some of us are just
human.

You three again.
Interesting.

Children serving
in the Brigade now?
[scoffs] What will Ellora force
its benders to do next?
At least we Ellorans
have a sense
of duty and honor.
We live free from your
bureaucracy and narrow views.
[Pavi] But you hurt people.
[laughter]
The world isn't
as black and white
as you've been taught,
little one.
Ah, a mother's set.
Mothers have one piece
made for themselves,
the other for their daughter.
So they're always together

Oh yeah.
That's called "Return to Me."

Thank you, Uki!
I forgive you
for your bandit ways!
I don't.

You can still come home.
