saved the hardest part for last.

Oh, now who's scared.

It's only rage, remember?

Um, the most heavily

fortified base in the sector.

Been there, done that.

Yes, but that was

just for supplies

and if we failed

people would go without

and it was only our

lives on the line.

This is much bigger than that.

We don't have a choice.

If the Visray don't

control the water,

they can't control the people.

If this is a go, and

I'm assuming it is a go,

then we need to move and soon.

Every day we stay here

we risk discovery.

Aye.

Don't worry, Amber's

an absolute genius

when it comes to sorting

out the impossible.

It's not a joke, Brook.

I didn't say it was.

I was just saying that if

anyone can do it, you can.

No pressure then.

(laughs)

(dramatic music)

(grunting and chanting)

Are you ready?

(cheers)

You work hard for the empire.

Sometimes we push you too hard.

You will be rewarded.

(cheering)

She carved her way

to self-respect,

the sexiest Azula.

(cheering and clapping)

Look at her!

Unbeatable so far, but

memories are short.

Not so long ago, another

stood in her place.

A great leader, Section

Commander Sorrentine

has brought her back.

The mighty Dahlia!

Two champions enter but

only one will leave.

Who will it be?

Skilled arms or the

gods that they pray to?

Which one of them will die?

(audience cheering and clapping)

Fight fight fight!

(metal clinking together)

(grunts)

(audience cheering and clapping)

(chanting)

(body thudding)

Time to end this.

So be it.

(chanting and clapping)

(metal clinking)

(gasping and heavy breathing)

(audience cheering)

They'll pay for this outrage.

Greetings.

For a minute there, I didn't

think you were gonna let go.

For a minute

there, neither did I.

(electric buzzing)

(snapping)

(electric buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(sword slashing)

(flesh squishing)

(yells)

Own this, b*tch.

(grunting)

(thudding on skin)

[Commissioner]

Guards to the balcony!

Azura, we have to go!

I have to kill Sorrentine.

Guards, now!

This is our one chance

for freedom, another time.

[Azura] Next time.

[Commissioner]

Where's my guards?

(dramatic music)

We're safe for now.

They've never found this place.

Well, they won't stop

searching 'til they find us.

No one who has never escaped

the arena room lives.

Then it's time that changed.

We can't just wait

for them to come looking

we need a way off this world.

All right, where do we go?

They control this

entire section of space.

We have to do

more than escape.

We have to fight back.

We have to give them

more to focus on

so all their

attention isn't on us.

Why have the people put

up with this corruption?

They had no choice.

The Visray control the water

supply amongst other things.

There are a small

number of rebels

that have started to fight back

but as soon as

their numbers grow,

Sorrentine sends in her

elite guard and crushes them.

Their leader is her

personal bodyguard.

You've experienced

his skills already.

No one has ever gone up

against him and survived.

Are they all like him?

No.

Not as strong or fast,

but still brutal.

But he's not human?

No one knows.

What is it?

Nothing.

Do you know how to

contact the rebels?

No.

But I'm guessing stories

of your little escapade

will have got to them by now.

They'll be looking for you.

Well they won't find us here.

Strength in numbers.

So you're the women

who escaped the arena?

Observant.

You need to move on.

You embarrassed Sorrentine,

she's not going to rest

until you're both strung up.

She'll have a long wait.

Her men will be

looking for you

and that's bad news for us.

We don't need that

kind of attention.

Why were you looking for us?

To see if we can

help each other.

My enemy is your enemy.

I'm going to kill

Sorrentine myself.

Oh, the Sarnian speaks.

(laughs)

If it were that easy,

we'd have done it already.

Even if you could get

to her, which you can't,

her bodyguard would

slice you to pieces.

Your personal vendetta

has nothing to do with us.

Our responsibility

is our own people.

By stealing food and bandages?

Not exactly long-term strategy.

Oi, we do what we can.

Besides, we got a plan.

That's enough, Brook.

But it's not enough.

We need to do something so

bold it changes the game.

This is no game.

Just stay out from our sector.

I wish we could help but what

you're planning

is too dangerous.

Our people come first.

Come on.

Then I wish you luck.

That coulda gone better.

Maybe, but it's just too

dangerous to involve them now.

Not when we're this close.

Yeah, well, they

can handle themselves.

We could always use more fires.

We can handle

things without them.

I know, I was just saying.

(gasps)

Aw, sh*t.

(grunting)

(swords clinking together)

(gurgling)

(dramatic music)

No!

(grunting)

Know any Sarnian prayers?

I'll say one for you.

(grunting)

(swords clinking)

No, no.

Amber, Amber, Amber, please!

(grunts)

Amber!

Amber!

No!

(grunts)

- No, no!

- We have to go!

We're not leaving her behind.

We have to go now!

She's dead, they're all dead.

We go now.

[Dahlia] Quick, the

guards, they're coming!

- No, I can't!

- [Azura] You must.

Hurry up!

Come on, quick!

I can't leave her!

(dramatic music)

You had him, why

didn't you strike?

I don't know,

something stopped me.

It's like I've

seen him in a dream

but he's warped and

changed somehow.

And I feel a sickness in my

stomach that chills my blood.

It's like I recognize him or

some part of me recognizes him.

Poetic.

You should have

skewered the bastard.

Yes, you should have.

I'm sorry about your friends.

They fought bravely.

Save it!

Sorry.

It's just he, they're all gone.

Amber.

My plans have not changed.

I'm going to kill Sorrentine.

Join us, we can take

on the Visray together.

Let her rest.

Let her grieve.

No, it's okay.

I'll grieve by taking them

down by whatever means.

But where will

killing her get you?

And think about the

reprisals on my people.

You are a fugitive.

You need to think

about surviving first.

Listen, we were

working on a plan.

If we can't defeat the

Visray, we can stop them.

How?

Our engineer was working

on a shield generator.

We were going to charge it up

to stop the Visray from

coming back to the sectors.

With them cut off, we can

rebuild and fight back.

The truth is, if we make

Draiga costly venture for them.

They must just pull out

and forget all about you.

Right.

But we can't count on that.

Your engineer was

working on the generator

is he?

Back there.

Gully.

I'm sorry about

your friends, truly,

but we can still

help each other.

Kewan is not only a healer,

he is also an engineer.

So, we could help you fix

this machine of yours.

There's a problem.

Why am I not surprised?

The machine is

all but complete,

but we don't have a

large enough power source

to make it viable.

We know it works

we just need the.

The Cressfelt Crystal.

Sorrentine's a bit of a
