guardians chapter 7: last moments before the strike
Summery of chapter 6
Yin and the others saved the fire masters. The spirit world is starting to be disturbed by this incident which made some spirits turn evil. Will Yin be able to spiritbend? And what's he going to do to save the fire nation?
Scene 1
Location: The southern water tribe
*2 big spirits turn evil and from a far distance, Nova sees them*
Nova: what Jinora told me was right. I needed to expect some spirits to turn evil. I need to do something before they start destroying the village *starts skiing on ice to reach them*
*The spirits see her and starting heading toward her as well. When they get close enough to each other, Nova waterbends water onto them and turns it into ice but the spirits travel through it because no solid objects can stop them. They both attack her. When tshe tries to waterbend them away they avoid it and right before they manage to hit her, a guy waterbends them away*
Nova: thanks Niko
Niko: no worries little sister
*while the spirits are knocked out, Niko and Nova spiritbend them and make them normal again. They both make that move*
Nova: go in peace
Niko: what happened ?
Nova: they turned evil. Jinora told me to expect some spirits to become like that
Niko: and why is that?
Nova: dad is drowning the fire nation causing disturbance in the spirit world
Niko: (in a high voice) what? I thought dad was joking when he said that the fire nation should be punished
Nova: well he always says it. We should've caught on earlier. Now, we should go help the avatar stop him
Niko: we should
Scene 2
Location: the phone tower in the first air temple
*Jinora is on the phone*
Jinora: yeah that will be great. See you tomorrow
Kai: who was that?
Jinora: Nova and Niko are coming to help us with the fire nation's problem
Kai: that's great. We haven't seen them since they were 2 and 4 years old
Jinora: yeah it has been a long time. I'm excited to meet them
Kai: me too
Scene 3

Jinora: well that must be them

Jinora: Nova and Niko, welcome
Niko: hi Jinora, long time no see
Jinora: I know. You've completely changed from when I remember you.
Niko: so where's the avatar? We wanna see him
Jinora: come with me
Scene 3-3
Location: the temple
*Jinora comes from afar*
Jinora: Yin, some people want to see you
Yin: some people, I'm not expecting anyone
* after they arrive*
Niko: hi, I'm Niko. Nice to meet you *shakes his hand furiously*
Yin: hi Niko, I'm Yin
*Jinora and Nova arrive*
Nova: Nova
Yin: nice to meet you *puts his hand toward her*
Nova: *looks at his hand then at him* I don't shake hands
Yin: (embarrassed) oh! Sorry
Jinora: Yin, these two are Zei's children
Yin:(screaming) what? *backs off and earthbends a rock from the temple's floor ready to hit them*
Jinora: *laughs* don't worry they are not a threat. Actually they're here to help us stop their dad
Yin: I'm still not trusting them
Nova: I understand. After all, who wants to befriend a monster's child
Yin: *puts the rock down* I didn't mean that. I'm sorry
Nova: yeah whatever *walks past him*
Niko: don't worry about her, she's always like that
Yin: I didn't mean to make her sad
Niko: she's not sad, that's her resting face and she said "a monster's child* because we both hate dad
Yin: explains a lot
Niko: soooo, see you around
Yin: yeah, goodbye
*after Niko goes*
Yin: I still dont trust them
Jinora: i know, me too
Scene 4
Location: the southern air temple's courtyard
*Yin is watching sunsets and Jinora comes*
Jinora: someone likes sunsets
Yin: who doesn't
Jinora: true
Yin: I just have an uneasy feeling about this. Zei knows that we're coming again, I think he's hiding something more powerful that a couple of benders
Jinora: true. But we have nothing to do about it
Yin: I know. That's why it's bothering me
Scene 5
Location: the southern air temple
Scene 5-1
Location: the dining room
Time: night
Yin: so you guys are Zei's children?
Niko: yeah
Yin: and who's your mom
Nova: avatar Korra
Yin: *drops the food bowl that was in his hand* what, did you just say?
Nova: what?
Yin: So Zei and avatar Korra were married?
Nova: Yup
Yin: what? How? And why didn't you tell me earlier ?
Nova: after mom and Asami broke up, she married Zei. After 2 years they had Niko and 3 years later, they had me. Zei wasn't a good dad, he gets angry all the time and mom isn't the kind to accept that so they fought a lot. Fast forward 5 years later they got a divorce and mom and Asami got back together. We lived we them and we saw dad once a week.
Niko: He mentioned on multiple occasions that everybody should be punished for their bad actions and that the fire nation didn't get what it deserves but we thought he was just acting like the crazy person he is but he put his thoughts into action which we wasn't expecting and that's why we're here
Nova: does that answer your questions because my food is starting to get cold?
Scene 5-2
Location: in the temple
Time: day
Yin: why didn't you tell me that avatar Korra had children ?
Jinora: I thought it wouldn't be necessary
Yin: (screaming) how would it not be ? What if avatar Korra had something that could help me that they know its place? I think you're hiding too much stuff from me and I don't know why?
Jinora: Yin
Yin: (screaming even louder) No * fire comes out of Yin and starts heading toward Jinora but water pushes her to the side before anything could happen to her. Turns out it was Nova *
Nova: are you crazy? You've almost killed her
*Yin looks at Nova then Jinora. He runs and eathbends himself up in the air and vanishes. Jinora looks at him as he's going*
Scene 6
Location: the woods
Time: night
*Yin is sitting there clearly sad and lost. His eyes glow, he enters the avatar state*
Yin: avatar Korra ?
Korra: hello Yin. I felt as if you started to give up, I'm sending bad emotions all over you
Yin: why didn't you tell me Zei was your husband?
Korra: I figured if I tell you that, you will start seeinge me differently, in a bad way
Yin: you're an avatar, I will never see you as bad person
Korra: I know that. But you are not emotionally stable and we can never know what people like you would react to such things. A part of you is stuck in the past, it reminds you of your dad leaving you, your cousin getting kidnapped, you getting kicked out and living in a mountains. The other part is living in the present but it's full of emotions, specifically bad ones: pecimisim, sadness, anger, guilt. These emotions keep getting stronger and stronger and if you don't let go of the past and look at life from another prospective, these emotions will control you. When I told you to prioritize people's lives over yours, I didn't tell you to forget about yourself, you are a human, you have emotions too. Take care of yourself
Yin: thank you avatar Korra, I promise not to let you down
Korra: I know you wouldn't. Until next time, avatar Yin
*Yin gets out of the avatar state*
Scene 7
Location: the southern air temple
*Jinora is talking to the Cheif. The Cheif pointed toward Yin. Jinora turns around and sees him coming*
Jinora: Yin *goes and hugs him* I was about to send a search team to find you
*Yin doesn't say anything*
Jinora: Yin
*Yin hugs her back and a tear runs down his face*
Jinora: what's wrong ?
Yin: I'm sorry about earlier. I was about to kill you
Jinora: don't worry, we all do mistakes
Yin: my mistake was gonna cost me you
Jinora: but it didn't. Look at the bright side of things
*after a moment of silence*
Cheif: I'm sorry to interrupt you guys but I have to go. Tomorrow is the big day
Jinora: we need to go have some rest as well. Thank you Cheif Okuzaki and sorry for wasting your time
Cheif: no worries. Good night
Jinora: *to Yin* you need to go to sleep and empty your mind. You will need every bit of strength you can get for tomorrow
Yin: I won't let Zei win even if it will cost me my life. Tomorrow will be the end of all of this, tomorrow the fire nation will be free just like how it was a month ago
