[One down. The man should be out cold for an hour at the very least, provided he isn't accidentally killed before then.
Chekov falls into step, phaser ready should anyone else move to attack, keeping a wary eye on the woman with the water arms. Hei is as quick and merciless as ever, he notes with grim satisfaction; the woman is almost unnaturally fast, but he doesn't doubt that the assassin will be able to disable her.
He scans the area, dismayed to find that it's impossible to determine who he should consider an enemy when no one is directly attacking him. He also searches for Korra and Naga, fully expecting them to be nearby. It might be ludicrous to assume that they're around when he had thought that he'd never see them again, but Hei is present and the battle's participants are clearly benders. This has to be Korra's world, and so she must be around. The alternative is unthinkable.
It's best not to think.
Another woman catches Chekov's attention. Although she's not particularly close, the marking on her forehead and her combat-ready stance make her stand out. There's an uncanny correlation between the direction of her gaze and the explosions, but she has no weapons and, if she's bending, she's not doing so in a way that's apparent to him. No, she has to be controlling the explosions. She's well out of phaser range...
The lieutenant glances back at Hei and briefly considers abandoning his position to get closer, get a shot in. Briefly--loyalty inevitably wins out over heroism.
The woman with the mark on her forehead looks their way.
An instant later, a blast tears the air and earth in their vicinity apart.]
