01x02 - Into the Storm

[bunniefuu]

♪ Tense music playing ♪

My name's Pavi.

And this here is Geet.

Trust me,
the last thing we want is

to be noticed by anyone
in the Brigade.

So the Avatar's cruel reign
over humanity finally ended.

Our ancestors banded together
and created...

the Seven Havens.

[man grunts]

[beetle chirps]

[gasps]
That's an unregistered bender!

The Avatar...

You can't have found the Avatar
because...

I already have.

Good work, Cadets.

Take the rest of the day
and enjoy the festival.

-Off with ya!
-Wanna play hunt the Avatar?

Bet I'm faster than you!

-Only if I'm not it!
-Okay, then you're on!

Winner gets the first Kulfi Pop!

[Karthik] Nisha,
that was reckless.

You absolutely

-cannot bend in public.
-Cannot bend in public.

But these kids are amateurs
compared to me.

[sighs] That is not the point.

[sucks teeth] Never mind.

I need to get
to the festival ground.

Apparently, there's a ruckus
with some crazed beetles.

Captain Karthik,
can I please go to the festival?

Nisha, you know the answer.

I promise I won't bend
a single pebble!

I can't do my job
if I have to keep one eye on you

the entire time.

What's the point
of being the Avatar

if I'm hiding in my room
all the time?!

Your day in the sun will come,
young one.

Just... not today.

Why?

you look like me.

So we must be...

[both meow, purr]

[both growl]

W-wait, hold on.
You were bending...

O-oh, no, you-you didn't see...

You were bending
all the elements!

Me? Bend all four elements?

The heat must be getting to you!

I don't understand.

I thought I was the only one.

"The only one"?

-You mean, you can...
-Wait, I didn't say...

Yes, you did.

Are you really like me?

No! [clears throat] I mean, no.

No.

Yeah, you are definitely lying.
You're not very good at it.

I don't want any attention
from the Brigade.

Everyone is preparing
for the festival!

It is just us.

I promise I won't tell anyone.

Which district are you from?

I live here in the Compound.

Captain Karthik found me
three years ago

and trains me in secret.

I don't remember anything
before that.

I don't remember
where I'm from either.

Really?

So we are twins!

You can show me what you can do,

I won't tell anyone.

[sighs] Fine. It's just...

I'm tired of being different.

I wanna know
if there's anyone else like me.

you're a terrible liar.

Okay, I'll go first.

are you really like me?

Pavi, catch!

[giggles] I got it, Nisha!

[laughing]

Did you...

Yeah.

Hi...

Nisha.

Hi back...

Pavi.

[wind blowing]

We loved playing catch.

Well, Pavi, instead of catch,
how about a game of tag?

Tag?

-I'm sorry, what is...
-[water bubbles]

Tag! You're it!

[feigns dying groan]

[laughing]

[gasps] Oh, wow. Y-your leg.

So... how are we both like this?

Well, as long as I can remember,

I've been secretly training
to be the Avatar.

But if I'm the Avatar...

what does that make you?

-[footstep approaching]
-Nisha!

Where are you?! I need to...

[Jae panting] Ow!

[gasps]

Karthik, look!

I have a twin!

[wind blowing]

[pot clinks]

[Karthik] Pavi,

Nisha told me quite a lot
about you.

Do you see my cup of tea?

Would you mind showing me
a little of your abilities?

I swear to you,
I mean you no harm.

It's okay.

[grunts]

[loud whoosh]

[sighs]

Two Avatars?

A-are you going to make me join

the Bending Brigade?

What you are

is more important
than the entire Brigade.

Both you and Nisha.

I've had to hide like you.

The Brigade thinks
I'm Captain Karthik's

bending-less assistant.

But soon they'll know the truth.

Only a few people know
Nisha's secret.

And I guess that now means
you do too, Jae.

Uh-huh.

Uh, I am processing
all of this...

f-f-fantastically.

I can't be an Avatar.

I'm no warrior.

And the last one
doomed the world,

didn't she?

Korra wasn't a normal Avatar.

Most recorded history is lost,

but what we have found
points to...

[sighs]

Avatar Korra caused
the Cataclysm.

Because of the destruction
Korra wrought,

the Avatar became
an enemy of the world.

Regardless of what Korra did,

I believe in a more hopeful
version of the Avatar

than the Seven Havens do.

For thousands of years,

the Avatar reincarnated
again and again

to defend the people
of the world,

no matter their class
or their station.

That's the kind of Avatar
I wanna be.

I had no idea there was more
to the legend.

Most people don't.

Have there ever been
twin Avatars?

Never before you two.

But how else can we explain
your likeness to Nisha

and your abilities?

You never considered
you're an Avatar?

I guess I always feared I was...

but hoped I wasn't.

Join us.

Train with your sister

and become
a fully-fledged Avatar.

But you don't need me,
you have an Avatar!

She's me, but not a mess!

I spend my time collecting rocks

and introducing myself to bugs!

I'm a nobody.

Just a fluke.

I learned a long time ago
not to believe in coincidences.

Pavi, listen to me.

You are important.

Pavi, together
we can be unstoppable.

We can fix the world.

Okay, well, this has been fun,

but I should really get back
to my cave.

Geet and I have big dinner plans.

I request to join my squad

Captain, I'm ready.

Absolutely not, Nisha.

Isn't this what you've been
training me for?

To save the Haven?

The Brigade
has this storm covered.

Ellora's not ready for you.

They don't know me! Or Pavi!

in the middle of a disaster

-No! We're going out there!
-Oh, yeah, well,

didn't your teacher-dad-boss
just say that's forbidden?

I know, but...

I just... feel in my heart

this is what the Avatar
is supposed to do.

Don't you?

[gentle meow]

[soft grunt] Come with me.

Let's save Ellora together.

Nisha, this is your life,
not mine.

What are you saying?

You haven't seen Ellora like me.

They think the Avatar
is a monster!

Is that how you see me?

No! How could I?

But... I'm no hero.

I was just trying to help
my friend Sang,

and then my whole life
fell apart.

I'm not an Avatar.

[wind blowing]

I've been alone for so long.

I thought I found someone
who finally understands.

Someone who could be family.

I was wrong.

Nisha, no. Please, wait!
