This is some kind of pilot of a story I wanted to develop, If the responses are positive to this first episode, I will complete it.
Also, there will be Korrasami, but It will just take some time as I want to develop the story first, also Mako will be the overall main character. Sorry for the grammar, I'm trying to improve it.
Chapter 1: The woman of his dreams.
Mako opened his eyes to see an image that has been becoming more and more familiar in this last months.
He was alone, far away of any place he knew, it was a beautiful meadow, totally full of grass and flowers, which extended until the horizont, with no seemingly end.
The sky was the most glaringly clue that he wasn't in his world, it was white, like milk, and it shone in its own, there wasn't a star or something like that.
"It's the same again." Thought Mako to himself. "This dream again."
He looked at his hands, touched them, he could felt the heat of his body, he could felt he was there, even when he always woke up at the end, without any changes, he felt like it was physically there, and not a product of his own imagination.
He looked to his surroundings, normally, he would wake up shortly after appear here, but he liked to walk, to enjoy the time of peace that this place seemed to offer, although it was a brief minutes.
In that moment, something catched his eye, one yellow figure was standing before a white one crouching, it was too far to distinguish anything more, so he decided to walk toward them, maybe they could tell him where he was.
He began to walk, soon, he could see what he was watching. They were a man and a woman, the man, who was watching for behind was wearing a cape which covered all his back and a little crown in his head, all of them golden, the woman was crouched, she was toying with the grass and the flowers, like a little kid, she was facing him and the man, she was wearing a little crown, only slighty bigger than a diadem, some kind of domino mask that covered the zone of her blue eyes and beautiful white robes that even in the grass, it didn't seem to get dirty.
They were in the middle of a conversation.
"...I'll miss this place." Said the woman. "I always loved the quietness of this place."
The man replied.
"Everything good and bad ends. You'll find a better place, you always do."
She sighed.
"I know, I know, it just... I can't avoid getting attached to this, I am like that."
"Don't worry, I'll miss it too."
In that moment, without any kind of warning the man dissapeared as if he wasn't never there. Mako stopped, now he was next to the woman, she was very pretty, even with half of her face covered.
She began to talk.
"Sorry if he didn't talk to you, he is like that."
Mako was a bit confused for the whole situation.
"Who are you? Where are we?"
She smiled.
"I am a queen and we are far away of our homes."
That didn't help Mako, at all.
"Sorry if I am being cryptic." she said. "I just don't want to fill your head with too much nonsense."
She got up.
"Also I think we have both to go."
In the moment she said that words Mako feelt as he was travelling in a speeding car through the night and suddenly woke up in his detective desk, startling Lin.
"Easy there, Mako. You shouldn't be working Overtime."
"What's happening?" He said, confused.
"Normally I'd let you sleep after that's happening, but we have a situation."
"What kind of situation? He asked, now with the mind a bit more clean and grounded.
"The worst kind." Follow me to the car, Saikhan is driving, he'll update it to you.
They exited the police station, in theentrance was effectively a car, with Saikhan inside, waiting for them.
They entered the car and began to drive to the center of the city, the spirit forest. Saikhan began to talk.
"Six hours ago, we received reports of suspicious activities in an abandoned warehouse near the forest almost six hour ago, I sent a patrol to check up the situation, one hour later, the two cops I sent appear in the hospital beat up, but alive, and with no memory of what had happened." He was clearly nervous, and was talking quickly without stops.
"I decided to prepare a strike force of metalbenders to take care of the threat, I sent them to the warehouse half an hour ago."
"What happened?" Asked Mako.
Saikhan sighed.
"I just lost cotact with them, I heard some kind of explosions and the radio went silence in minutes."
"I want to know what happened to my men, Mako." Said Lin, with a fiery resolve in her eyes, then If the situatio requires it, we call Iroh and send the army.
Mako nodded, after that they didn't say a word until the warehouse.
Saikhan parked two streets before arriving and the three traveled on foot the rest of the way, trying to not gather too much attention.
The warehouse was enormous, a decade ago it served as a storage of construction equipment, alas the bussiness went under and nobody bought the place yet. So now it was abandoned and nobody entered there, the perfect place for an illicit operation.
The windows were totally sealed as the front and back doors, the only apparent entrance was in a little side alley, the place where the trucks would load and unload the cargo.
They entered for that entrance,, quietly.
"Our men entered by this entrance too." Said Saikhan. "We must be careful."
They nodded, they continue to walk for the hallway after opening the only door in the park, after some minutes of walking in almost pitch black darkness, and horrific vision appeared before them.
All the men that Saikhan sent were bleeding in the ground, the enemy had dispatched after entering the warehouse, they were all alive, luckily.
"We must call backup." Said Saikhan. "This is too dangerous and this men need medical assistance now."
"You are right." Said Lin. "Let's go back."
In that moment, sound of something hitting the ground resounded in all the building, and a voice began to talk.
"For the love of..." Be careful with that, said the first voice.
"Sorry, I almost tripped."
"I know, I know, its the last box, we take and we get out here now, before more people arrive."
The three of them looked each other, if they go now, they would lose the ones that did that.
Lin pointed to a door three meters near them.
"That came from there, we can't let them escape.
They opened the big metalic door without making a noise, two men, both of them covered in hoods, were loading in a little forklift a unlabeled box. One of them was of average build, but the other seemed like a giant of at least 2 meters, with the build of a wardrobe.
They entered when they had the back turned, Lin was going to knock them out quickly to interrogate them.
With five meters apart, Lin was ready for the attack.
In that moment she felt something, there were three pair of feet sounds behind her, she turned to see a shadow behind Mako.
"Mako!" She shouted. "Behind you!"
Mako tried to look behind when he felt like something in his left side broke. A young man had sneak on them and attacked Mako with a steel bar.
Saikhan tried to attack him, but the big intruder had ran the distance that separated men and punched him right though the armor, bending it with pure strenght and throwing Saikhan to the wall.
Lin who was still in her feet, used one of her steel wips to throw the first attacker to the wall, the man exhaled the air when he rashed with his shoulder.
Lin, used the other whip to attack the big man, Lin managed to grab his arm, and using her first whip, she grabbed his leg, making him losing his balance and falling to the ground.
Then she heard a crack, and felt like the world was dissapearing. The third man had entered the action, he decided to save his partners using a gun.
The big man got up and helped the young one who had injured his shoulder, Mako was almost unconscious and Shaikan was trying to get up, Lin was almost gone too.
"What do we do?" Asked the big man.
The injured was who talked.
"Both of you end what you were doing. I'm gonna talk with the one who can still get up."
He got close to him and aimed him with his own gun.
"Listen here." He said.
"Except you, all the people here are pretty bad in my opinion, now we must go, so you should get some medical attention here, if you don't want them to die."
"Who.. are... you...?" Asked Shaikan.
The young man smiled.
"You'll see soon."
The three of them dissapeared with the cargo for the same door the other three had entered. When three had gone for good, Saikhan was the only man conscious in all the building.
