Authors note: here is chapter 2. R&R
Makos point of view
Its almost time to go to bed I told myself. I remembered how Korra had invited me over to eat with her parents. I had to tell her I couldn't because of the war going on with the equalists I had to watch the white lotus fortress with the other white lotus guards. Korras face was so sad at my answer that it made my heart hurt. She told me how she wanted to let Naga stay with me for backup and I didn't reject her proposition because I didn't want to make her more sad then she already was.
I turned to the right to see the captain of the white lotus who was also a firebender walk towards me from the guard tower.
"Hello Mako" he said."There is no sign of anything, but it just seems to quiet".
"Thank you for telling me the report and I agree it is too quiet tonight" I said suspiciously. I then looked out towards the sunset and after a minute I turned back to the captain and said "make sure to have all the guards ready for an attack, I feel it is coming tonight".
The captain then looked at me and went back to the guard station to tell them the new orders. I turned around to find Naga rubbing against my back. I could feel that she missed Korra. Korra used to tell me that the only way Naga could fall asleep would be to lay against her.
"Hey Naga d you want to go to bed" I asked the polar near dog.
Naga whimpered and I said "follow me girl". I led her to the stables and she laid down against the wall. After about a minute she whimpered trying to get me to lay against her.
"Alright girl but just this once" I said softly.
I walked over to Naga sat down and put my back on her side. Naga quickly put her head into Makos lap and fell asleep. After a little while Makos eyes started to get heavy "no no I can't fall asleep I have to help watch the fortress". But then my eyes just shut drifting off to sleep.
About an hour later I was awoken by Naga growling. I opened my eyes and looked up to see her growling towards the opening of the stable. We both had a clear view of the whole fortress and I couldn't see anything. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw four shadows running throught the courtyard.
"That's weird I thought there were no patrols around the courtyard this late at night" I said curiously. Then I saw one turn around he had a mask on with glowing green eyes. That is when I realized they were equalists and we were under attack. I quickly got off my feet and yelled to the guard towers."the equalists are in the fortress".
Half of the white lotus guards got out of the barracks and started to fight the equalist chi blockers. The other half didn't hear the commotion from the watch towers. I have to get up there and warn them I said in my head."Naga come" I yelled at the polar bear dog. Naga instantly ran towards me and I got on her back."Naga get me up there girl" I said pointing at the watch tower that the captain was in.
Naga then ran towards the outpost through the courtyard. We passed by several battles between the guards and the chi blockers. We are heavily outnumbered but if we got the other guards from the towers we might have a chance. I also noticed the bodies of both the white lotus guards and chi blockers. It made me think how terrible war can be no matter how much I don't like the equalists it's still sad to see them dead to.
We finally got on top of the wall about 10 feet from the tower. I saw the equalists planting bombs on the bottom of the tower. I saw at that time the captain walking out of the tower."Captain get out of there now" I yelled. I noticed him look to his left and see the battle going on in the courtyard. I then noticed he saw the equalists with the trigger and he started to run away from the tower. I saw the tower blow up and multiple screams come from both the guards and Equalists. The blast was so strong that I didn't see where the captain went. Then another bomb went off right next to me and Naga.
The explosion sent me and Naga flying in the air. We went throught the roof of a metal building. We finally landed on the first floor I saw naga was lying on the floor with scratches and bruises covering her whole body. I tried to stand up and help her but I couldn't. I looked down to see a piece of metal impaled my left leg. There was also rubble from the house that was crushing my body and keeping me there.
After a few minutes Naga got up from her spot she landed in and looked at me worried. She tried to get me free from the under the rubble but it was no good only an earth ender could get me free and the white lotus earth ender guards were busy fighting the equalists. I need to think of a plan to get out of here. After that I looked down at my scarf and looked back at Naga.
"Naga come here" I said while untying my fathers scarf from my neck. It had some blood on it from my injuries. Naga moved over to Mako putting her head next to his. When she came close I tied my scarf around her neck. When I was done with that I stated Naga in the eye and said.
"Naga I need you to go get Korra and bring her to me. Do you understand me". Naga then licked his face and without hesitating she ran out of the house through the front door and out the front gate.
"Look it's the Avatars polar bear dog go after it". I guess that was an equalist must have said that I saw about five chi blockers run by the front door and before they got to their snow speeders I saw the white lotus earthbenders throw a rock onto the snow speeders."Where do you think you are going". I heard one of the guards say. That's when I knew that they couldn't follow Naga because she is too fast to follow on foot.
I felt a lot of blood coming out of my left leg and my neck. My eyes started to get heavy from all of the blood loss. The last thing I heard was one of the guards yell."Everyone get into the vault fall back now everyone fall back".
"Korra please hurry I really need your help this time". My eyes started falling and finally I passed out.
