What sudden anger! As she jumped around a chair to flank the stranger, Tsubaki realized a quick temper combined with the stranger's full skill set might prove to be a seriously dangerous combination for the two of them. A brainwashed prisoner didn't know what they were doing to begin with, and who was to say what the boy was capable of?

He certainly had some kind of ability that went beyond the purely physical. The clap of his hands was loud and ominous in the dark space.

"Look out!"

A tingle of energy was all the warning she got before he was attacking Korra from afar. This wasn't good at all! But if there was an opening, if she could restrain him before Korra took a direct hit... Grabbing the end of her ponytail, Tsubaki pulled her hand down, down the length of her hair... then even further down as a chain began to grow from the end of her ponytail, lit up with a soft, gold glow. Attached to that chain was a scythe, which Tsubaki snatched from the air in the fading light.

Like a whip, the chain lashed out for the right side of Ed's body, moving with a mind of its own to tangle about any limbs it should touch.
