What Happens in Rebel Spirit?
Six Months Later
Six months have passed since the end of Book One: Air. Avatar Korra believes she has now mastered airbending. Her friend Mako is working as a policeman in Republic City. Bolin, another friend, is still involved in pro-bending, but his new team, the "Fire Ferrets", is not doing well. Meanwhile, Asami is trying hard to keep her family's company, Future Industries, from going out of business.
A Family Reunion
Korra and her friends travel to the Southern Water Tribe. They are joined by Tenzin, Korra's airbending teacher, and his brother Bumi. Bumi has recently retired from the military. In the Southern Water Tribe, they meet Tenzin's mother, Katara, and his sister, Kya. Korra's parents, Tonraq and Senna, are also there.
A New Spiritual Guide
The Northern Water Tribe's chief, Unalaq, also arrives for the solstice festival. Unalaq is Korra's uncle and Tonraq's brother. He comes with his twin children, Desna and Eska. Unalaq believes the Southern Water Tribe has lost its spiritual connection. He offers to teach Korra about the ways of the spirits.
During the festival, an angry spirit attacks. Korra tries to fight it, but she cannot calm it down. Unalaq steps in and instantly calms the spirit. This event makes Korra think about her spiritual training.
Korra's Choice
Despite her father Tonraq's warnings about Unalaq, Korra decides to choose Unalaq as her new spiritual teacher. She believes he can help her connect more with the spirit world. Tenzin and his family, including Kya and Bumi, then leave to visit all the air temples. Korra and her friends stay in the South Pole to train with her uncle Unalaq.
Other Happenings
While all this is going on, Asami makes a business deal. She partners with Varrick, a very unique shipping boss and movie producer. Also, Eska, Unalaq's daughter, decides that Bolin is her boyfriend. This creates some funny and awkward moments for Bolin.
