Duels (171 AG - Harmonic Convergence)



Duels are battles fought by at least two individuals and can be considered a form of recreation, a way of settling disputes, or a training tool for students who are developing skills in a particular fighting art. They may be friendly spars, fought to pass time, or in the most extreme cases, fought to the death. A variety of cultures practice dueling.

The following is a list of known duels that occurred in 171 ASC.

Duel between Mako and triad members
Combatants: Mako and three triad members

Victor: Mako

While on patrol in Republic City, Mako pursued a satomobile possessed by three triad members. Two waterbenders created a fog to obscure the police officer's vision, but to no avail. One of the benders froze the street causing Mako to briefly lose control of his motorcycle. The triad continued to flee, driving through a traffic barrier which caused the firebender to be cut of by a truck. Avoiding the vehicle Mako quickly switched lanes and used another trucks supply of wood as a ramp to propel himself into the air with his firbendeing. Now airborne, Mako sent a fire blast down toward his enimies causing them to crash into a fire hydrent.

Duel at the Glaicer Spirits Festival
Combatants: Korra, Mako, Bolin, Tonraq, and a dark spirit

Victor: None, interrupted by Unalaq

A dark spirit appeared  before Korra outside her hut on the cliffs overlooking the Glacier Spirits festival. The spirit charged toward the Avatar knocking her against an ice wall. The creature pinned Korra down and attempted to eat her, only to be interrupted by a fire blast from Mako. The spirit dogged several more attacks from the firebender  and his brother and knocked them away with a swipe of its' tail. Korra returned to the battle by throwing several more fire blast that were easily dogged by the specter. Before the dark entity could reach its' target, it was interrupted by Tonraq  who trapped the spirit in an ice cage. This prison proved to be of no use as the spirit broke free and preceded to grab both waterbenders with its tentacles and fling them in opposite directions. Korra entered  the Avatar state and created and air funnel to doge the spirits' attack while sending several more fire blast toward it. Her attacks had no effect and the spirit used its' tentacle to slam her body into several crates. Korra was knocked out of the Avatar  State and lie helpless as the creature prepared its final attack. It was however interrupted by Unalaq using his spiritual method of  healing to cleanse the spirit of its dark properties. Now at peace the spirit ceased to do battle and left the material world.
