Two solid hits and one straggler who was headed her way. Korra could deal with that. She pushed herself off the ground with a bit more airbending, aiming to vault over the smallest one's shoulders and turn his momentum against him. Waterbending principles applied to airbending. The movement wasn't very smooth; she was still rather unsteady with Air.

But Al's flash bomb hit in the middle of the process, and she was knocked off balance with a sharp yell, leaving Korra slightly off the ground and vulnerable.
