This chapter contains a time jump because I could not find a suitable way around a case of writers block. It's only a time Jump of six months from the time the avatar was discovered it also contains flash backs to explain certain things. This chapter also has a trigger warning and caused the rating of this story to change.

Chapter 3

6 Months Later

Kushina sat in the war room looking at photos that Maj. Morino delivered in the morning briefing. What she saw horrified and enraged her. Satellite images of massacres happening all over the bending nations. "I want reconnaissance on the ground to get eyes on whatever is happening. Do not engage unless they're about to be compromised."

"Yes Empress, which nation should we look into?" The head of espionage, Jiraiya asked.

"The southern water tribe, have your spies follow where ever the fire nation takes the women and find out what they are doing with them." Kushina then turned to address Col. Garaa call sign Tanuki. "Col. I want a 20 C-17's ready to drop troops and supplies in the southern water tribe to provide aide and protection from future fire nation assaults. Coordinate with both Generals Mifune and Sarutobi for ground forces." Kushina then turned to Mei Terumī, "Admiral get the fleets ready to conduct amphibious landings." She then paused for a moment, "Generals you heard what I told Col Garaa and Admiral Terumī. I want this done in the next 30 days, get it done."

"Yes Empress" all those present said in unison.

Jiraiya left the war room and immediately contacted one of his many agents. "Kurama get your ass over to the sub docs I've got a mission for you."

10 days later

Kurama observed a platoon of fire benders taking a group of women towards the coast and their ships. He had overheard the benders telling the women that they would be taken to breeding camps and forced to bare children to refill the ranks of the fire nation army. 'And people call me an asshole. Well time to report this back to the pervert and get the hell out of here' he thought to himself.

As Kurama was making his report one of the fire benders (also a female) looked at her captives with pity. She had seen the camps before and labeled them as glorified rape camps. She had seen things that horrified her, things that made her cringe. "I'm sorry" she mouthed to one of the girls who said her name was katara (explain later).

"Don't talk to the baby factories unless you want to join them" chastised the squad leader with a laugh.

"I've served the fire lord loyally but this is wrong. We didn't start this war abducting females why start now?" she asked.

(Trigger warning)

"Traitor, seize her and strip her of her armor. She can join this latest batch of whores" ordered the squad leader. "You can start early as well, let these girls see what they will be doing" said while undoing his armor and pants.

The group of women could only stare in shock and horror as the watched the fire nation troops turn on one of their own and proceed to strip and hold her down.

"That's it hold her down" the squad leader ordered.

Ty Lee struggled against her former comrades with tears in her eyes. She tried to kick her squad leader when he stood between her legs just before he forced himself on her.

The screams of the group and Ty Lee were heard by Kurama and he stopped giving his report to investigate. What he saw made him see red and pull out his 45 and take aim. The first person he shot was the bender holding the females shoulders causing his head to snap back and his body to collapse just above the females head. Kurama then changed targets and shot the next bender holding her right leg. With that Kurama no longer had the element of surprise and charged towards the group.

Ty Lee heard a loud crack and felt hot liquid hit her face. She looked up to see that the bastard holding her shoulders down was dead. The then heard another loud crack and saw the man holding her right leg fall. The two holding her arms let her go and stood to charge their attacker only to fall after another two cracks. Ty Lee immediately buried her thumbs in to her former squad leader's eyes and wrapped her now free legs around his waist to prevent him from escaping. "You bastard I'm going to kill you" she said through clenched teeth. She rolled over and snapped his neck.

(End trigger warning)

Kurama saw the female he just blew his mission over kill the man that had assaulted her. He crouched down to avoid a fist and shot his attacker in the groin before shooting them in head. He stood and walked over to the bodies of the fire nation soldiers looking for keys to free the captive women. Finding the keys he freed them and pulled out his radio to call in an evac from the submarine off the coast. "This is hate incarnate to demons vassal come in over."

"This is demons vassal send your traffic hate incarnate."

"I need immediate evac my cover is blown, break, I also have six local females who need medical attention aboard the demons vassal."

"Roger, stand by while we get clearance to treat the females."

"Yeah that is not going to work I killed 5 fire benders. I'll take the ass chewing for this but I'm authorizing the demons vassal to take on the five females for treatment and to be escorted to Whirlpool."

"Understood hate incarnate, ETA to evac point is 10 minutes."

"Roger understood hate incarnate out." Kurama then looked at the naked brunette and offered her his cloak to cover herself. "I don't know if you can understand me but I'm getting you ladies out of here. The only thing is I need a boat to get you to the evac point." Kurama said hoping the girls understood him.

Katara stepped forward to embrace Ty Lee after what she went through. "We understand you and we appreciate what you did for us but this is our home." Katara said rubbing Ty Lee's back while she cried into her shoulder.

"Um lady there is no going back to where ever it is you came from. Those troops will be late reporting in and I'm pretty sure where ever they were going will send out someone to investigate." Kurama then turned around and started looking for a large enough boat.

5 days later
Whirlpool

Kurama stood with Katara, Ty Lee, and the four other women as the demons vassal pulled into port. He noticed the looks of shock and intrigue at what they were seeing for the first time. "Looks like Tsunade is here as well as prince Naruto. I'm guessing they are going to be escorting you ladies to the hospital."

Katara had been surprised when a massive black tube with a tower leaped out of the water when they were waiting for Kuramas people to retrieve them. She had no idea that people could build something that could travel underwater for days let alone months according to the crew. Now she was looking at these peoples homeland and what she saw left her speechless. She was so lost in thought that she didn't realize that the ship was moments away from docking.

When the sub finally docked Tsunade walked up the gangplank and immediately asked for the refugees. Once a petty officer 3rd class had shown her to where the refugees where at she thanked them and introduced herself. "Hello and welcome to Whirlpool I am Tsunade and I am the surgeon general as well as head doctor at the hospital we will be taking you to. I understand that one of you was raped and we will be monitoring you closely for any complications and offer each of you psychiatric help if you need it. Do any of you have any questions?"

"What of those people with you on the dock? What are they and will they be with us at all times?" Katara asked not wanting to have a repeat of events back in the southern water tribe.

"Those are our escorts; they are from the Marine Corps and are among the best of our front line troops. They know what happened to you and are disgusted. Do not worry, the male Marines will keep their distance and only make close contact if the situation deems it necessary otherwise you will be dealing primarily with myself and the female Marines in the escort." Tsunade waited for any more questions before motioning the group to follow her.

Back on the dock the platoon of Marines were standing next to the standard issue HMMWV vehicles. They had four M1114 UAH (Up Armored Humvee) and two older models of the HMMWV the M1123 cargo/troop carriers.

"Alright listen up Marines, in a few minutes we will be escorting six refugees to the hospital along with Tsunade. The M1123's will be taking three refugees each with three female Marines in the back and two upfront. The lead M1123 will have Tsunade so will only have two Marines in the back. Two M1114's will be in the lead followed by one of the troop carriers with one M1114 between it and the next troop carrier following with the last M1114 taking up the rear. The route has been cleared so we will not be stopping for anything. In the event we are ambushed our orders are to floor it and get the refugees to the hospital." Ssgt Guy briefed his platoon.

Tsunade saw that the Platoon was being briefed and decided to wait to have the females get into the troop carriers. "Ssgt which vehicle am I in? I would prefer to stay with this young lady" Tsunade said motioning to Ty Lee.

"You're in the first troop carrier with Sgt Haruno Lcpl Hyuga, PFC Nohara, and Pvt Akimichi." Ssgt guy responded while pointing towards the first troop carrier.

"Thank you Ssgt" Tsunade then moved Ty Lee, Katara and one more female to the troop carrier and introduced them to the female Marines that would be escorting them.

Once the refugees had been loaded up the rest of the Marines mounted up and the convoy proceeded towards the hospital. The convoy was uneventful and Tsunade didn't take long to get the girls taken care of and settled on the top floor of a nearby hotel. The Marines took the floor below them and set up a fire watch rotation to ensure that the females where not harassed and felt safe. This continued until Kushina invited them to stay at the palace under the protection of the palace guard. This in turn freed up the platoon for an upcoming deployment with their battalion to liberate the southern water tribe with plans made from intel gathered from both satellite and from Ty Lee.

While this was happening things in the bending nations had gone from bad to worse.

14 days later
Southern Air Temple

"How could you leave my sister" Sokka shouted at Aang.

"I am the Avatar I can't be captured by the fire nation Sokka. Your sister was stupid enough to try and save those four women. I had no choice but to leave her now get over it." Aang said in a hostile tone.

Sokka was speechless for a moment before he was consumed by rage. He punched Aang in the face and then yelled at him. "Do you know what kind of camp they took her too? A forced breeding camp Mr. Avatar my shit don't stink. Screw you find your own damned masters to train you I'm going to look for my sister." With that Sokka stormed off to start his search for his sister.

'The fuck did I do' Aang thought to himself rubbing his cheek, getting back on Appa to continue looking for anyone to train him in the elements. "Appa yip yip" Aang commanded and the sky bison started to rise into the air.

Sokka continued to walk even after seeing Appa fly away. He was determined to find a way back to the southern water tribe to start looking for katara. What he didn't know was that she had already been saved and by the time he had gotten to his destination foreign troops with odd weapons would have already liberated the southern water tribe.

Having found a merchant vessel that was headed towards the southern water tribe Sokka managed to barter his way on the ship by trading his boomerang, club, and working as a crew hand for his passage. This is where he heard rumors of a massive battle taking place in the south by an unknown force.

4 days out of port

"You hear about what's going on in the south?" asked a random crew member to another.

"Yeah a massive battle, I even heard that the fire nation is sending more reinforcements it's that bad" replied another.

Sokka couldn't believe what he was hearing. Did his people finally rise up and start fighting? Not wanting to continue just assuming anything he asked figuring that rumor was better than nothing. "Was it the water tribe that attack?"

"No rumor has it people started falling from the sky from birds of steel" replied the first crew men to start talking.

"That makes no sense" Sokka said continuing the conversation.

"It's just a rumor I heard from some passing fire nation troops" no sense putting too much faith in rumors.

"Contact of the starboard bow, theirs bodies in the water" called out the lookout ringing a bell.

"Launch a raft and look for survivors" ordered the Captain while looking over the wreckage with an eye piece.

"But sir these are fire nation men. I say we leave them to feed the fishes" yelled out the crewman that Sokka was talking to.

"No out here they are sailors, and as fellow sailors we will offer aid. Now heave to and launch that raft."

Once the raft had been launch and the wreckage search the only thing recovered were bodies with odd wounds. There was a small entrance in either the front or back of some of the bodies with huge holes as an exit. Some bodies recovered were little more than chunks of meat held together by straps of cloth and armor.

"What could have caused this" asked the Captain.

No one was able to answer that question even Sokka. "How long until we reach the port?" he asked dreading that this had happened to his sister.

"Three more days then you can get off my ship and follow your death wish".

Sokka sighed while looking out over the sea scattered with dead and wreckage. 'Katara I will find you I promised dad I would take care of you.'

Whirlpool 4 days earlier

"Flying thunder god this is Col Garaa the mission is a go, I say again the mission is a go."

"Roger Tanuki, Flying thunder god copies all." With that the C-17 Globe master started down the runway carrying Special Forces troops to drop ahead of the invasion fleet. Soon the plane was airborne and another C-17 started to lumber down the runway passing 11 other Globe masters all carrying 102 paratroopers.

This flight of aircraft was to meet up with 9 other groups launched from 9 other airfields making a total of 130 aircraft carrying 13,260 Paratroopers meant to drop behind the enemies' lines and cause chaos for the fire nation troops. Hampering the reinforcement's efforts to get too reinforce the positions on the beaches.

Three days later

Naruto stood on the deck of an Iowa class battleship seeing these planes fly over the massive invasion armada of 6,939 vessels. "Jez look at all of them" Naruto said to Hinata.

"Yeah they'll make it about ten hours before us. Just enough time to thoroughly confuse the enemy on what is going on."

"It sucks that we don't have our vehicles and have to use landing craft. We'll be exposed until we get into the fighting holes created by the navy and out fighter planes." Naruto said turning he continued to speak to Hinata as he did so. "And don't tell me that they don't use fire arms. They can still roast us alive with their fire bending."

"Wonder what flame roasted Naruto tastes like" Hinata said in a joking manner.

"No we tried candles and that ended horribly. These oversized walking match sticks are where I draw the line." A panicked Naruto said while waving his arms around like a mad man.

Hinata pouted a little before hugging the slightly freaked out Marine. "Spoil sport where is your sense of adventure Marine?"

Naruto pointed out to sea and yelled "out there on some distant foreign land with distant foreign people that want to kill me, that's where Hinata."

Hinata couldn't stop herself from laughing at Naruto's attitude. "Okay, okay, I'll stop."

"School circle Devil dogs I got word to pass then y'all can get back to stroking your flames of youth."

'Fuck' thought Naruto and the rest of his platoon.

"From our spies on the ground and aerial photo graphs we can see that the Fire Nation has very little to no defenses along the beach here and here. These will be our landing zones from their we will push inland and link up with the youthful 101st to continue towards the garrison 4 miles east of the beaches. It is imperative we get off the beaches as fast as possible so as to not cause a cluster fuck with the rest of the invasion. That would be most unyouthful to cause."

Naruto stood listening to the plan for the invasion and took notes for later review. After the briefing he went to the mess deck to get some chow with Hinata and Shikamaru.

"What a drag" Shikamaru started to say before Naruto smacked the back of his head.

"Hey you're carrying the SMAW (shoulder launched multi-purpose assault weapon) whats so bad about that?"

"It's to troublesome Uzumaki and you know it. It screams I'm a target kill me just like the radios that the RO's have to carry."

"You'll be fine just hide behind Lt. Uchiha I guarantee he'll get roasted before the day is over" Naruto joked.

"You really don't like that man do you Naruto" Stated Hinata.

"No the arrogant prick using his rank and position to sleep with any WM he wants. I'm still pissed he tried that shit on you the other day."

"Yeah well Maj. Morino did catch him and was not very happy with him. Last of his family or not" Hinata said trying to placate Naruto.

"Lt. Uchiha does seem like an ass hole and a ribbon chaser." Shikamaru spoke up after listening to both Naruto and Hinata.

"Well we hit the beaches at first light so we better get some rest or at least try too."

Back in Whirlpool Kushina sat on her throne getting ready to address her people.

"Empress we'll be live in 5,4,3,2,1" The PR Manager said and motioned to Kushina to begin talking.

"Citizens of Whirlpool, today I come before you to inform you that at last the time has come to strike back at the Avatar and the bending world. For too long have we suffered unjust persecution and whole sale slaughter of our people." She stopped to let that sink in with the populace then continued. "As I speak thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines make their way towards the southern water tribe to liberate it from the fire nation and begin to bring the avatar to answer for their crimes. You may be wondering why we are fighting the fire nation and I will explain in a moment." Kushina paused for a moment and motioned for Katara, Ty Lee, and the four other refugees to come forward. "These young women you see before me are refugees from the bending world. One was abandoned by the avatar to save his own skin. One was raped for speaking out against her superior. These six women were being sent to a forced breeding camp for the fire nation and that is just the beginning of the evils that the fire lord has ordered. Our young men and women will be laying down their lives to free this world from that kind of evil and to bring true balance to the lands. Please keep your sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters in your thoughts. Thank you and good night.
