Inside my own fanfiction (rewrite)

Summary: rewrite of my story, inside my own fanfiction. Modern AU.

Ch. 1 Prologue

Lets see. Check list. College homework, done. America being China's bitch, done. Well, nothing else to do, except type up a story. What kind of story…. Ender's game, no. Area 88, nope. Space battleship Yamato, no. What to fucking write…

"Airbend!" I remember the TV's on. Brother must have left it on, went to practice his guitar. I feel Korra's pain. Wanting to word-bend, but nothing happening. Buckets. I look at the watch, 2200 hours. Hit the hay.

Plop in the couch, listening to my Ipod, to Linkin Park. As the music lulls me to sleep, I hear a loud winding noise, like a jet engine. What the…

I wake up to the sound of traffic noise. Where am I… I get up, taking aware of my surroundings. Okay. For some reason I'm wearing a uniform of sorts. The pockets contain a wallet, car keys, and that's about it. I open the wallet, noting that nothing is in it. Except some currency in a different language. I guestimate around 40, If I added the numbers correctly.

I walk out into a bright sun, noting that the people are clothed differently. The buildings are different. Kinda like Legend of Korra. I stop walking, taking a better look of my surroundings. I count at least 6 sato-mobiles. Wait. Sato-mobiles? I may be a cynic, but I'm not crazy. I continue walking, eventually running down some random street, to god knows where.

Must be near a power-plant. I look at the large factory, thinking of the Chernobyl nuclear power-plant disaster. I look at an ally, and notice something of interest. A rifle dumped in the ally. I pick it up, dust it off, and take a good look at it. Dragunov sniper rifle. Never thought I'd hold one in my hands. I'm keeping this. Slinging the rifle, and quite happy with my find, I continue walking down the street.

I notice Asami run into Mako. I run up to them, hearing their conversation. "…I don't have any clothes nice enough for a place that classy." Mako said. "I'll take care of that." Asami replied.

"Wait!" I shout, running up to them. Both of them look at me, wondering who I was. I failed to notice Asami's head tilt to the side for a second. "Do you know where I can get a map of the city?" I ask. Luckily, Asami had a spare in her jacket. "Thanks. Miss…"

"Asami."

I walk away, opening the map when they call me back. Mako pops an interesting question. "You're from the United Forces?" "What?" I reply. I look down at my clothes, only to notice I was wearing a type of uniform, for the United Forces, the military of the United Nations. Funny.

"I recognize this uniform. Future Industries makes just about everything for the military." Asami said. That include weapons? I cynically think, knowing that her father was an under-cover equalist. Asami walks closer, inspecting it. I step back a foot, putting my hand on the sling of my rifle. "You're in the air-force." Asami said. "That's amazing." Mako joined.

"What air-force?" I ask, confused. Last I checked, republic city didn't have an air-force at the moment. The only organization that had aerial craft in huge quantity was the metal-bending police force.

"You don't know, it's a new branch of the military. Only 4 years old. From what I heard, they have a lot of amazing stuff." Asami said. "Where's the base?" I ask. Finally, a place to sit and gather my wits. "Under air-temple Island." Asami replied. I lightly shake my head, and give her a cynical smile. "You expect me to believe that? The water pressure will crush it." I reply.

"Go to the island. And ask Tenzin about the base." Asami replied.

"And if he doesn't know?"

"He knows. My father and General Iroh talked to him about it."

"Why would your father, a civilian get involved with military affairs, unless the military hired him for some special project?" I point out.

"Does it matter? He went there. Future industries makes supplies the military. Along with the Fire Nation." Asami retorted.

"Fine." I mutter. We'll see.

With no other option, I say good-by and head towards the Island. Funny. I had an idea a bit back, of an underground air-force base. Under the Island itself. But I doubt the physics will agree with it. I began to rethink my talk with Asami and Mako. Shouldn't have been so jaded. It's only because I know the complete truth. This is going to be a bitch like none other.

As I left, Mako and Asami talked to each other.

"Okay, that's strange. He comes out of nowhere, asks for a map of the city, and doesn't know about the air-force." Asami said.

"Yeah. That's a bit strange. You said your father worked on the base with General Iroh. He in the military?" Mako asked.

"I'll tell you later at dinner." Asami said, riding away.

I knock on the front door, and Pema answered. "Hello?"

"I'm Jackson, from the united forces. Is Tenzin home?"

"He's in a meeting right now. Something wrong?" Pema asked, curious.

Feel like Colonel Graff in Ender's game, just before he recruits Ender to the battle school, and the war. "Nothing's wrong. But, do you know anything of a military base underground? 4 years ago General Iroh came here with an idea in mind."

That caught Pema's attention. She let me in the temple. She offered me something to eat, I declined asking for a drink instead. The two of us talked a bit about the secret base. Pema knew about it, and showed me the way. We headed to an elevator. "How deep is it?" "Deep enough. General Iroh didn't want any other country finding out about it." "Yeah, because if they did, you're fucked. They'll launch an attack, probably with subs, and blow it to pieces, and they'll take the temple down as well." I reply.

"You and Lin would get along just perfectly." Pema says.

"What makes you say that?"

"Already, you're cynical. And I can sense some anger. She's cynical and bitter. And cold. I've not seen her show any emotion."

"That's pretty much me. I only focus on the job. No distractions. So good luck getting to know me well."

An awkward silence passed before Pema spoke up again, about the temple.

"This temple took Chief Beifong's bending rage, and it's still standing." Pema said, laughing. I know what she was talking about. Tenzin breaks up with Lin, and Lin goes berserk, destroying the temple in the process. I'd kinda like to see that.

After a few more minutes, we finally hit ground level. "Any idea what's in here?" I ask.

"We really don't know. Military matters and all. Might wanna figure it out yourself." Pema replied.

"Head back up. When Tenzin comes home, tell him to come down here." I order.

I open a door and stare at what I see.

"Holy shit."
