Facing Hiroshi was... A lot. I'll never forget. At the time, I was beyond hurt. He betrayed us, and I felt so stupid that I let myself trust him enough to tell him my story- About me, about my parents. I did hate him. I hated how he saw my brothers as these monsters despite them being the best big brothers a girl could ask for, yet he was the one who tried to take down innocent people all because they could bend. In my eyes, he was the monster.

...

"How could you?!" I scream at Hiroshi.

He's insane. How could he do this to Asami? Your parents are suppose to love you and protect you. He had everybody fooled, believing he was this loving father who only wanted to make the world a better place with his inventions. He is a fraud, just like Amon, and now he's going to kill us. We're stuck in our mechasuits, and he's coming for us. How can we get out of this one?

"Look at me," Asami tells me. "It's going to be ok"

It is... Because I'm going to get us out of this. The Avatar is my friend, and I'm apart of Team Avatar for a reason! I drag myself over to the control panels and look around to try to figure out what the heck I'm going to do.

Hmm... Bingo!

Hiroshi made a terrible mistake when he taught me his go to's and showed me all those blueprints in his factories. These controls look very familiar...

"What are you doing?" Asami asks. "The machine is busted."

"You remember those 'secret files' your father told me about right? I think I know how to get us out of this mess and take Hiroshi down once and for all."

...

That day, I had to do something I never thought I would. I used Hiroshi's teachings against him. Not even Asami knew about these mechasuits... But I did. It was very brief, and he couldn't tell me much about them, I understand why now. He showed me the blueprint, and I was fascinated, mostly because he used a similar technique on his go carts. I had no idea that he would use them to start an all out war! He only told me they would revolutionize the world, and I foolishly believed him. But again, I was a kid, and he was grooming me.

The day of the battle, Asami and I suited up in a mechasuit. I couldn't believe that I knew about these machines and yet I said nothing. I could've prevented it all, and yet Hiroshi lead me to believe he was only mentoring me to become this great inventor- but really, he was molding me to become Amon's protege. I feel sick to my stomach thinking about them trying to kill my brothers and all of our friends with those things.

Years have passed, and I still think about Hiroshi. He did wrong, I know, but am I a fool to still believe he was a good man?- well, use to be? He acted out of grief and sorrow, and it tainted his heart. Doesn't justify it, but it explains it. He wasn't an evil man, he was a sad and miserable man. Though the pain of him lying is something I'll never fully get over, I still like to believe that our relationship was at least some what genuine. Maybe I just like to live in ignorance...

Even though taking down Hiroshi was... Unfortunate, and it was great that Amon was finally gone, it was still the least of our worries...

...

"So Korra can airbend, but she can't waterbend?" I ask.

"Yep...or firebend, or earthbend," Bolin states uncomfortably while scratching the back of his neck.
