The last thing he heard the man say was
"You want to know where she is, we will take you to her…"
Throughout the rocky ride in the back of the truck, Mako went in and out of consciousness, the gash on his head was still bleeding and his hands and legs were tied. There were four chi-blockers in the back of the van, each watching him with close surveillance.
Mako tried to move to see who was driving the truck, but it only resulted in a chi-blocker kicking him in the abdomen. He winced at the pain as it throbbed; he looked up at the chi-blocker and gave him a look that could have killed someone on sight. He then heard someone spoke from the front of the van, he sounded old
"We are nearly there, restrain him"
That's when he realised who it was, it was the old healer from the hospital, Mako head was sore, but he could still figure it out. Why would a bender take him to Amon?
"Why? Why would you take me to Amon, you are a bender!"
This time it was Mako who spoke, he words were slightly slurred from the hit to his head, but otherwise they were filled with venom and hate, the old man just turned around and looked at Mako. He studied him for a minute, then turned around and looked at the road ahead
"Tape his mouth up"
The chi-blocker to his right spoke, then the chi-blocker next to him put tape over his mouth. The young fire bender let out a strangled cry, he couldn't do anything now.
After a few more twists and turns, the truck finally stopped, the old man got out the car and started to walk towards the back of the truck. When the doors opened, Mako shivered, it was freezing. Especially for Mako considering he was a fire bender, the chi-blockers grabbed him by his collar and dragged him towards the exit of the truck.
When they finally reached the end, there was a small drop from the truck to the ground, the chi-blockers just jumped out and pulled Mako behind them. He hit the ground with a thud, making a moaning sound as they continued to pull him. When he finally got a chance to look up he saw a small building, it looked sort of like an old shop or home. They couldn't be keeping Korra here? He knew she was injured but seriously even she could get out of this.
As they progressed further towards the small building, more chi-blockers appeared, they were standing guard, and it was pointless because no one would ever come out here. He examined his surroundings, hills, tree's, rivers; yeah he had no idea where he was.
When the chi-blockers finally reached the shack, they had a few brief words with the two standing at the door; the old man was nowhere to be seen. The door then swung open and Mako was dragged into the shack, he couldn't believe this was a hide-out, because the place was honestly pathetic. It was run down, old and dirty, there was no way this could be some secret Equalist hide out.
The chi-blockers came to a hold and one of them walked towards the left side of the room, sliding an old carpet off the area, that's when he saw a metal door on the ground. Mako finally got it, this was there hide out, but it was disguised by this old dump to make sure no one ever found it, and the carpet was just a disgusting as the house, no one would suspect a thing.
The door opened and Mako continued sliding along the ground, he looked down towards the hole, steps
"You have got to be kidding" he said to himself silently, and one by one Mako was dragged down the steps, his back and head getting hit each time. He was so angry he could have started glowing red at any time. When the finally got down, he saw long corridors descending each way to all his sides, good god how was he ever going to get out of here?
"Nighty night"
Then his world went black again.
"Ughh" he moaned as he sat up, his vision was still fuzzy, but he could make out that he was in a cell. A dark, cold, wet cell
"Great…"
He said standing up, he felt light headed again and sat down, he then leaned against the bars that were next to his bed, and put his hand to his cut, it was no longer bleeding, but it still hurt
"I have to get out of here!" he screamed, he suddenly started throwing fireballs towards the front of his cell, hoping that it would burn a hole through the metal, he needed some way to ease his rage, he didn't know where Korra was, that was the main thing that was killing him.
After a few more huge flames, he sat down and hung his head, feeling so useless and helpless in the stupid cell.
"Hello young man"
This voice was pure evil, it was deep and Mako had a pretty good idea who it was
"Amon, where is she? Where is Korra!"
Mako turned his head around to look at Amon, his ugly mask staring him down
"I have her, right here" he said with a cackle
He then took a step to the side and Korra was lying on the ground behind him, Mako heart stopped. She was still shaking, and she was panting, like she couldn't get enough air into her lungs. But he also noticed something else, Korra had cuts on her face, and her clothes were torn revealing heavy bruising to her body
"What did you do to her?"
Mako's eyes narrowed at the monster, he was pissed now
"This was not my doing, she woke up, we fought back, we were protecting our selves against the enemy"
His voice was still that evil, mocking tone he always had when discussing her bending. He then picked her up and threw her into the gaol cell next to him, why would he put her next to him, that was just cruel
"I thought you might like some company, who knows you may not have her for long" he laughed at his not funny joke
"I will kill you, you understand me? I won't ever let you touch her ever again! You're dead Amon!"
Mako screamed, releasing fire from him mouth, Amon just laughed at the young fire bender
"I should take your bending right now, but that would be too easy, I will wait, I think you will be a fair opponent for me one day"
Mako then threw a fire ball through the bars, he then ran up to them and stared at Amon straight in the face, Amon didn't move an inch
"She will win, you will lose everything Amon, you think you're the first one in the world to have something bad happen to them! You're not that tough, you hide behind a mask, you say it is because a fire bender took your face. I think you hide behind it because you are a coward, even if you take our bending away from us Amon; we are still stronger than you. Whether you take our bending or not, we will still stand united against you."
Amon didn't say anything this time; even though he was wearing a mask Mako could see the look of hatred on Amon's face. He then looked over at Korra and chuckled once more
"My mask is a symbol for hope for the non-benders in the world, but you're young avatar is nothing but a little girl playing pretend, if you want to believe your naïve perceptions on this that is your choice, but know this. I would not hesitate to kill her, if she stands in my way she will fall. I can promise you that."
He then turned his back and walked away into the darkness, Mako's eyes followed him until he heard Korra scream again, he ran towards the bars throwing himself against them
"Korra! Korra I'm here, it's going to be alright"
He then put his hand through the bars trying to reach her, she wasn't too far away from him but for Mako it felt like an ocean was dividing them. Korra was still shaking, her clothes were damp and sweat was still pouring from her body.
He put his hands on the bars and put his head against them
"God Mako thinks!"
After several seconds of silence, Mako raised his head and really felt the bars; they weren't very strong, not compared to the ones at the front of the room. He didn't need to break out of his cell he just needed to break into Korra's.
He then took a deep breathe in and lit two flames in his hands, the heat radiating from his hands made the air around him warmer. Mako hated the cold, he always had.
He placed his hands on the bars and started to heat the metal, he knew he would have to heat them up until they were searing hot because he would have to bend them with his own hands out the way, and he also knew he would have to do it to at least four of the bars in order for him to fit through.
One by one he lit his hands up and held the bars until they were hot enough to bend, he used the sheet from the bed to cover his hands each time he had to move them.
His hands were slightly blistered but he didn't care, all that mattered to him right now was Korra.
When he finally moved the last bar, he quickly moved through the bars,
"Ouch!"
When he had moved through one of the bars was still hurts and he had burnt his chest, and his stomach, he bit his lip and kept moving through the bars. When he landed in Korra's cell he didn't wait to assess his injuries, the first thing he did was run to Korra.
He sat down and held her in his arms; she was cold, so cold. He then pulled her into his chest, even though the pain was searing. He ever so gently lifted her face towards his and he kissed her om the forehead
"I'm so sorry I let this happen to you"
His voice was so pained, he didn't care about his condition, what about Korra? Amon could have killed her; he could have taken her bending from her. He started feeling sick, knowing that something could have happened to her. He then hugged her, holding her tightly,
"Mako?" she whispered
"Korra!"
She smiled at him, he then looked into her beautiful eyes, he was so grateful to see those eyes again
"You have to get out of here Mako"
She groaned, she was still weak, but the shivering had stopped
"No, we are to get out of here, I won't leave you"
"He could kill you"
"I'd like to see him try"
