Description
Korra: [Angrily to the door.] Let us out, you old witch! [Banging the door.]Mako: Korra, calm down.
Korra: [Determined.] I'm getting us out of this! We're gonna save Scarecrow! And I'm gonna make Dokumombi, that Nome King and that head-changing freak wish they've never been born!
Korra bangs and kicks against the door to no avail. Giving up, she sighs and leans back against the wall. Mako walks to her and sits with her.
Billina: [Scared.] Korra, Mako, if this is how Oz is, I think I'd rather take my chances back in Air Temple Island.
Weaver: {Scared.] Me, too. This world is scary.
Korra: But Oz is in trouble, and so is our friends. We can't just sit here doing nothing.
Weaver: Hold that thought now. We've captured by a wicked old warlock, had a run in with wheelers, and now we're locked in the tower by crazy French princess! I am NOT gonna stay in this land to find out what she can do.
Mako: [Stands up and approaches Weaver.] You two are just afraid.
Billina: And why shouldn't we? I don't know much about those Wicked Witches you faced, but that Dokumombi is worse than them. We want nothing to do with your quest right now.
Korra begins to cry, surprising Mako, Weaver and Billina. Music starts.
Korra: [Singing.] I can't win
I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you
Without you
I will never be the same
Without you
Korra gets up and walks over to a locked window and peers out. It gives her a distant viewing of the Land of Oz and several mountain, changing the sky to a golden orange colour. Far out on the Emerald City harbour, pieces of wood and bark from a tree drifted along the river. With a painful sigh, Korra leans against the wall.
Korra: [Singing.] I won't run
I won't fly.
I will never make it by
Without you
Without you
I can't rest
I can't fight
Without you
All I need is you and I
Without you
Without you
Whooh!
You! You! You!
Without you
Korra notices a painted portrait of a long line of famous rulers that have ruled Oz hanging firmly upon the wall, all covered in dust. And another is a portrait of the Scarecrow Queen, the Tinman, and the Lion, all posing and smiling handsomely. Tears wells up in her eyes as Korra rans her hand over her friends' portrait.
Korra: [Singing.] Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you
I can't quite now
This can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you
I can't soar, I can't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you
Without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, and my mind
Without you
Without you
Whooh!
You! You! You!
Without you
You! You!
Without you
Then Korra sees a portrait of the former King and Queen of Oz, Pastoria and Lurline, hanging next to the Wizard and his wife's portrait. On the portrait, the Queen is holding a beautiful baby girl in her arms. The baby's eyes sparkles like emeralds and her lips tinted like a tourmaline, and a bit of ruddy gold hair with a green bow tied in her hair.
Korra: [Singing.] I'm lost
I'm vain
I will never be the same
Without...
You
Mako hugs Korra, along with Weaver and Billina.
