Honored visiting delegates,

the Havens will work together!

What are the Head Lotuses of Akasha

and New Ba doing here?

Rumors about the Avatar

reach a fever pitch,

and you cut communications with us?

We feel it's time she faced The Trial.

But Nisha's only nine years old!

She's just a child!

If we find whoever made my brooch

and your bracelet,

they might lead us to Mom and Dad!

Are you really going to choose strangers over me?

What is the meaning of this?

My Queen freed me.

Let's chat.

Fire...

Air.

Water.

Earth.

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.

Something's wrong.

Let's scramble, Geet!

I hope Nisha's okay.

The Faceless Queen finally crawled out of her hole

to attack us here,

surrounded by our strongest benders.

You're bold. Or mad.

Guards!

Ah!

Lucky for you, the only thing bruised is my pride!

Who said I was here to fight?

This one sounded the alarm.

And ruined my pudding!

Someone's quite the trumpet player.

Thanks for heralding our arrival, bender!

Welcome to Ellora, ambassadors!

Your havens are gonna wanna hear this.

Now see here, ruffian!

This sort of renegade activity may pass in Ellora,

but you're dealing with the authority

of New Ba Sing Se...

Watch the outfit, it's an antique!

Mm.

The Faceless?

Something's gone really wrong with the summit.

Stay here, girl. I'll whistle if I need you.

Your Faceless bandits have already taken

so much from us.

What more do you want? Our blood?

You know who originally owned my snack shop?

My father.

Awful jokes,

but his kachori recipe

was the best this side of the Harshlands.

The Brigade discovered he was a bender.

All he wanted to do was feed people.

Instead he was conscripted,

forced to serve his haven.

He died in service.

Yeah. That's terrible.

I fled Ellora soon after.

I couldn't bear living in a place

that prided itself on his loss.

"For the survival of Ellora!"

What a crock of camodillo!

Your father has more honor than you ever will!

His sacrifice meant...

Meant what?

Another generation of benders would be forced

into a life they don't want?

Benders, being trapped behind these walls

isn't truly living.

A few of you have already realized that.

Let me introduce you to our new recruits.

The missing benders?

Uki... how could you?

You're following a madwoman!

She's nothing like what you've been told.

Agam can save us all.

We're with the Faceless because we want a different life,

free from danger, where we choose our own destiny.

-Really? -You can do that?

What sort of destiny is that?

We're going to Republic Forest.

Mudpies!

What's going on up there?

Don't worry! This is just a...

normal Brigade drill.

Stay calm! This is all routine!

Go about your lives!

Who's that?

The Republic Forest cut themselves off

from the rest of us ages ago!

Yeah, I don't think you're gonna get a very warm welcome.

If they're even alive.

No one's inviting the two of you.

We believe the Republic Forest

is free from the deadly storms that plague us all.

Where benders and non-benders can live without fear,

without oppression.

Cute! You believe in fairy tales.

Thanks to your "donation"

of gear, food, and herd animals,

the Faceless are ready to cross the Harshlands

to the Lost Haven.

And here is my invitation.

If any benders have had enough

of a crumbling system that no longer protects them,

you're welcome to join us.

She's trying to take our benders?

To everyone else,

heed this warning now.

Stay out of our way.

Months of raids that have terrified our citizens,

crippled our haven, and for what,

a doomed mission?

Our remaining benders are loyal to Ellora.

Are you?

-Never questioned it before. -Never thought about it before.

I didn't even know that was an option.

Come on, kick her bandit butt!

Any benders that join the Faceless

will be considered traitors to Ellora and arrested!

It's like I always said!

We're just tools to the Council.

-I'm done! -He's right!

I'm done with this.

If you leave, you'll doom your home!

-He's right. -I'm with the Faceless!

No more benders' blood!

What's the point of it all?

Yeah, I'm out of here!

Oh, no, no.

Guards, arrest them!

Arrest who? The Faceless?

The traitors?

Everyone!

Don't try to stop us.

You'll just embarrass yourself.

You're not going anywhere!

-Who is that? -What's going on?

Karthik's niece can bend?

I thought she was just his assistant!

I thought she was a small adult.

She's very intimidating.

This is definitely not good.

O-ho!

Hello again, little bender!

Nisha, was it?

The bravest amongst you has stepped forward,

and she's a toddler!

Watch it, auntie.

Decent strength, for a child.

But your form is sloppy.

Ha!

Creative, but your expression gave the attack away.

You must be calm as a stone.

Stop giving me notes!

What's going on?

Agam's fighting Nisha?

How do we help Nisha without being seen?

You're a better cook than a bandit.

Oh, kiddo. I'm good at a lot of things!

Y-You... You're a bender?

What can I say?

Like father, like daughter.

You're fast on your feet!

Too bad you only know the Elloran styles.

This isn't your fight, child.

Yes, it is!

Ellora's mine to protect because...

I'm the Avatar!

The Avatar!

Nisha!

No!

No, it can't be...

That's the Destroyer!

Oh, Nisha.

What have you done?

Um... greetings, everyone.

Ahh!

The Avatar has returned!

Yes, but don't worry! I'm here to...

Wait. The Avatar?

Someone do something!

I thought the cycle was broken.

How is this possible?

Time to go.

Back to the hideout!

The others need to hear the news.

The Avatar? Didn't see that coming.

That little one is in for the fight of her life.

Nisha...

What are you waiting for?

Arrest the Avatar!

Wait! I'm not gonna hurt anyone!

The Avatar's causing the Second Cataclysm!

I'm not doing this!

I'm not a destroyer!

Karthik!

Where have you been?

Kayoko, I can explain.

Commander, you have to tell them.

I'm not bad! I just... I just wanted to help!

Of course!

She's your ward.

You hid her true nature from me! I...

I-I trusted you!

We-we all did!

I was going to tell you, I swear.

Kayoko, everything we've been taught

about the Avatar is half-truths. I've learned...

Avatar! Send back your minion!

You think I control this thing?

Nisha, remember your energy bending from before.

I know you can banish it!

Uh, I'll try, Commander.

Good! Hold it steady!

Nisha!

Who cares if people see me?

I need to help my sister.

You like fear?

Look at me! I'm super scared!

Mudpies! That actually worked!

We might be in trouble, Geet!

Huh?

-Help me. -You did this to us!

I didn't, I promise!

You have to believe me!

You've come back to destroy the world once and for all.

Stop her by any means necessary.

We are the White Lotus!

Protector of the Avatar.

So, a conspiracy was growing right under my nose.

Quickly! Move!

-Get them! -Traitors!

Commander, I'm sorry.

I... I just wanted to make you proud.

You always have, Nisha.

Who's foolish enough to face the Human Hurricane first?

Ahh!

Ahh!

Run, Nisha!

So, this is the real Karthik.

We have no space for traitors in Ellora!

End them!

Commander Karthik, you are under arrest!

Jae! What are you doing?

Where did the Avatar go, traitor?

No idea,

but you won't find her.

I thought spirit energy was good for Avatars!

But you just bring pain and fear!

What do you want from me?

Huh?

Chancellor, I beg your forgiveness.

The Commander used my allegiance to the Brigade against me,

seducing me into the White Lotus.

I was tempted,

but now I see how damaging their deceit has been.

My loyalty is to Ellora...

always.

Jae, you're betraying the Order!

No, you betrayed Ellora.

I see that now.

I'm proud of you, Jae.

Hmm. I forgive you, Jae.

I know all too well how convincing Karthik can be.

I will find the Avatar,

even if I have to tear down every brick in Ellora.

We will track down her friends,

her family, her foolish allies!

Someone will talk.

Datu, tear apart the Brigade Compound.

Commander Jae will guide you to the other dissenters.

What have you done?

For the survival of Ellora.

Okay...

This is new.

Hello!

Oh! Uh... thank you?

That's very helpful.

Ooh... pretty.

See that they get the best care.

What gives, Kayoko?

You've been hiding the scourge of humanity within your haven!

Me? We... I...

I know nothing about this girl!

This might explain why Ellora's been plagued with disasters.

Chancellor, I am deeply sorry

for the devastation that has been brought on Ellora.

We've discussed your deception and we...

We're withdrawing our aid!

But Ellora needs you!

We had an agreement!

Tell that to Kuzon!

Oh, wait, you can't. He's afflicted!

I'm getting out of this cursed haven

as fast as I can.

This was a terrible summit!

The food was surprisingly good.

I am sorry, Kayoko.

We must think of our own people.

When you get control of your haven, contact me.

Feather Mountain makes space for forgiveness.

Chancellor...

What do we do now?

What do Ellorans do?

We survive, no matter the cost.

Establish a curfew, lock the haven down,

arrest any bender who refuses to serve...

and find the Avatar.

Close the gates and lock down the city!

The Avatar must be detained!

Orders from the Chancellor!
