Chapter 4: The Great Fall of Ba Sing Se
(Play: Main Title; Daredevil. The show.)
High in the sky, we see the planet known as earth. On it are multiple red spots of war raging across the world. We fly into the atmosphere to focus on the area known as Republic City. We then focus on the Statue of avatar Aang. We see his face, and fly straight through his eye. After the darkness clears, we are in an empty room. In it, there is a large tablet. It has the symbols of all four elements.
Air
Water
Earth
Fire
(Should be at 0:18 by now)
Immediately they start to shift and merge and mold. Tiles on the elements change size and position, and we get close up to witness it happen. The Air symbols sprawling loops are straightened to from lines, and a point. Water goes full circle, and makes a circle right above the new straight blade like design. Earth changes it's lines to make a hilt, with a small hole in its pommel. Fire becomes detail, as it surrounds the blade, hilt and cross-guard in black, dead lines.
(Should be at 0:34)
Electricty course on the floor, sparking through the walls and into the details of the blade, giving it color, warmth and life. It glows brightly as we zoom away, and it reveals a mural of the Infinity Blade. Soon everything goes black, with only the light of the Infinity Blade staying, until it fades. Then, a name is shown.
Rise.
Written by Rnij.
Everything goes black.
(Song should be over by then.)
Oh my god, is this it? Is the war finally beginning?
(Sigh)...Yes, Aila. I am now Finally, telling you about the war. Are you satisfied now?
You bet! I wanna hear all about it! Who was winning in the beginning? Who were the main players? WHAT WAS THE QUALITY OF THE BULLETS!?
(Sigh)...What have I gotten myself into?
Loud clangs of metal, bullets and other noises filled the halls of Lance tower, the academy for the new Hunters. As Headmaster, Ralen regularly patrolled the area, hoping to see his students fulfill their highest potential. It was a satisfying feeling, seeing his students succeed in their goals, And with Faunus coming into the school, opportunities for expansion were very high. Overall, the first day's of Independence for the Hunters were going very well.
Ralen entered one of the many training halls, and spied Sun training his new apprentice. What was his name...Mark? He'll find out right now. Moving quietly towards the two, he got a closer look at 'Mark'. He was a Faunus no doubt, the wolf ears gave it away. But he also had a sleeveless brown/gold denim vest over a grey sweatshirt. With deep blue jeans and black combat boots, his eyes were hazel, and his face was full of enthusiasm and eagerness. He also had a large two sided hammer on his back, if it was single edged, then he would have been reminded of Nora. Ralen then approached Sun from behind, and spoke, scaring his long time friend. "I hope you've been teaching your student well, Sun."
"AHH WHO WHAT WHE- Oh Hah Hah Ray. Really funny there." Sun replied, sarcasm dripping from his voice. He turned to his Apprentince. "Marcus, This is the head master and my Boss, Ralen Truean. He's a bit of a hard-ass if you ask me however." Ralen used his semblance to launch Sun far away, the Monkey yelling "Ow" in the distance. "As he said, I am Ralen Truean. The headmaster and-"
"The leader of the rebellion! Oh it's so awesome to meet you!" Marcus was fangirling over Ralen, before learning his manners and apologizing. "Sorry Sir, I'm just a big fan of your work, and that your leading us in the war."
"It is natural to look up to hero's, but I assure you that I am just as human as you are." Ralen replied, as Sun was jogging back to them. "Sun, I hope you don't mind me watching you teaching Marcus, do you?"
"Course not. Grab a seat." Nodding Ralen walked over to a nearby chair, and watched the training session. "Now," Sun began. "The first step in controlling your semblance is that you have to understand what it is. You have to acknowledge its strength's and weakness's, and accept the fact that you will be using you semblance. Like a Lot." Sun then drew his staff, and held it in a ready position. "Let's see what you got Remington."
"Yes sir!" Marcus replied, and pulled off the was hammer on his back. He spun it in his hands a bit, before getting himself into a ready position. Sun smirked then leapt towards his apprentice, Marcus doing the same. Both weapons were about to clash, but Ralen cried out "Sun! Stop!" Sun froze, as did Marcus, and looked at Ralen, expecting an answer. "Pyrrha has made contact. The armies ready. We have to move Sun." Ralen then got up, and left. As Sun was about too, he patted Marcus's shoulder, smiling. "Don't worry. We'll have that match soon." Sun then left, leaving Marcus alone. Again.
"Are we ready Pyrrha?"
"Yes. We have enough forces to take the city of Ba Sing Sa with minimal causalities." They were several miles away from the greater wall of Ba Sing Se. The impenetrable city. This would be a conquest long remembered. "Any regrets Pyrrha?"
"None yet sir." Nodding was Ralen's reply to his friend. The two watched the city in comfortable silence, taking in the view. It was quite majestic. "Ralen, Why are we destroying the wall when we easily could fly over it. The bullheads could drop Hunters into the city, we would be able to take it in no time."
"Because we need to put up a show for the world. Many people think that we are a joke, a miscalculation. That our declaration is folly and that this will be resolved quickly. We need to show them that we are not to underestimated. To show our strength, by tearing down this wall. By defeating the most heavily fortified city in the world, we'll show the might of the Hunter, and that this war of our's won't be quick." Pyrrha was silent, but nodded in understanding. The two then walked down the hill they were standing on, moving to a small table in the middle of a small plain. Nearby were Sun and Coco, ready for the battle. The two reached the table, and the meeting began.
"We've got soldiers positioned here, here and here." Pyrrha grabbed a small stick and began pointing to various positions on the map of Ba Sing Se. "We have managed to get the Bullheads through to the front lines with Faunus Reinforcements when we need them."
"Good, Sun. Are the Faunus fully updated on the situation? It was your job to get them updated on recent events." Ralen gave off one of his famous glares to his monkey friend, who blushed in embarrassment.
"I got most of it down? Good enough?" Sun sheepishly said, expecting any marking of approval from his boss. Ralen instead sighed, but resigned to fate. "Very well. Pyrrha, is the R.D.C. ready?" Pyrrha nodded. "Good, get your men to activate it. It's time to begin this battle." Pyrrha then walked off to several of her lieutenants. Ralen looked back at the wall, confidence on his face, until Coco spoke up. "Sorry to but in, but what the hell is a R.D.C.?" Ralen sighed, again.
"An R.D.C, Coco, is a Reusable Dust Cannon. It uses 5 volumes of purified dust that we extracted from Menagerie to fuel a 5 ton super weapon designed on a similar weapon from several years ago and blueprints from Atlas's stash we found in Menagerie as well." Coco and Sun had a blank look on their faces as they waited for an explanation. "(Sigh), Its a big fucking laser cannon. That's it."
"Got it. We'll prepare the troops." Coco said, somewhat satisfied with the answer. As she left, Sun grinned at Ralen, who looked at him questioningly. "Time for your speech." Sun then ran off, a cocky smirk on his face. Ralen frowned, but let his expressions soften a bit. He had been practicing a bit, so he was prepared for this. He summoned his helmet and sword, the Infinity Blade glistened in the sunset. Looking at his helmet, he stared deep into the face of the Crown of Kings. Memories flooded back to him, memories of Galath and his time with Yang. Ignoring them, he flipped the helmet forward, and put it to his face. It folded around him, providing cool air to be circulated around him and a HUD to show his Aura, Vitals and ammunition count for the handgun at his hip. Justice would be a reliable tool in this war, and it was high time the weapon of General Ironwood saw action again. Holding the Infinity Blade at his side, he jogged to a small hill where he got a view of his army. Several thousand soldiers where standing at attention, guns at the ready. A few Huntsman and a spin-off, Specialists, where in the crowd. Battle vehicles such as Jeeps, Atv's and Tanks (A/N Picture the Halo Warthogs, Scorpians and Mongooses) where in the back. Turning on the voice amplifier, he spoke, his army paying attention.
"Today...Today begins a new age. Before us stands the great city of Ba-Sing-Se. Home of some of the most powerful benders in the world, and the one of the most corrupt places in the world. Gaze upon your enemies, but fear them not. For you do not forget who you are, what you are! You are now Hunters! We are all now Hunters! We shall fight our enemies where they go and linger, and we will never be defeated.
Today, we begin a new age, an age of conflict, but an age of freedom. An age of struggle, but and age of victory. An age of Death, but an age of Warriors! Today is the beginning of the age of the Hunt. The Dragon age! Let our enemies hear us roar!"
And roar they did. The army below him roared in inspiration, in belief of his words. As they held their weapons high, so did he. The Infinity Blade shown across the battlefield, a symbol of the new world order, the new nation. The new age.
Captain Atsunay was not having the best of day's right now. His boss made him go patrol the outer wall, his girlfriend Ucylay dumped him, and he was partnered with private Eygray, who he despised. Oh, and factor in that army with that really weird tech which looked like they were going to destroy them all, and you got a recipe for a Really bad day.
"What are we going to do Captain?" Eygray panciked to his superior. Atsunay however, kept calm and looked at the army, defiance in his eyes. "Eygray, do you know why Ba-Sing-Se is called the impenetrable city? It is because we have never been conquered before. No one has ever come close, and it will stay that way for all time!"
"Uhh...Sir? We were conquered by the Fire Nation in the Hundred year war."
"Well, we weren't directly conquered. We were betrayed and lost from sabotage and deception, not actual conquest."
"But the Dragon of the West nearly conquered us in the same war, and he only retreated because of a massive amount of casualties. And our wall was taken done several years ago by terrorists."
"Eygray, shut the hell up your killing my inspirational speech."
"Yes sir..." As soldiers were rallying around them, Atsunay spied in the distance something rolling in the distance, it was coming closer to them and was near the hunters. When it came to view, Atsunay gasped in horror. 'How the hell did the Hunters get that cannon? I thought it was destroyed by the Avatar following Kuvira's arrest! Did they build a new one?' His mind asked. But it did not change the fact that the cannon had started to build up energy. Atsunay served under Kuvira, he knew how long the Spirit Cannon charged. So why was this one charging faster? The cannon shot a whitish blue beam of energy at the wall...and everything turned white for Atsunay. Ring's were all he heard. When he came to, he was facing Eygray's corpse, face half melted off and petrified with fear. As he looked around, Hunters were somehow on the wall, either falling from the sky in weird pods or climbing up. They were using strange weapons that made noise, and shot down every guard with ease. How? What was going on?
That was the last thing Captain Atsunay thought as he felt a mass press against his chest. Looking up, he saw a woman with beautiful green eyes and flowing red hair hidden underneath a strange helmet. Like one of those Spartans he had read about in language class. She was decked in golden armor, that looked as practical as it was decorative. In her hand was a long spear with red details and a golden coloring. Strange gears were in the spear, like it all was one machine. She also held a shield. Atsunay didn't get an answer to his questions, as the Women thrusted her spear into his face, silencing his thoughts.
Pyrrha lead her troops through the lower ring of the city, her soldiers advancing as they slaughtered the opposing benders. One guard made a large boulder fly towards Pyrrha, but instead she leapt over it and threw her spear into the woman's face, taking it off as it flew. Pyrrha lept towards Milo, and managed to retrieve it right before a large bender was about to tackle her, Pyrrha dodged the man, before shoving Akou into the mans skull. As she pulled her shield out of the mans fractured and blooded head, she morphed her spear into rifle form, putting Akou on her back she began to fire Dust bullets into several guards about to attack her. She then threw it at another, the spear morphing back into spear form to impale the man. As Pyrrha used her semblance to call forward her weapon, she heard a large explosion to the north. Turning, she saw the middle wall crumble to the ground. Her men had breached the middle ring. Good, time to execute the second part of the plan. Taking out a small radio on her belt, she turned it on and spoke through it.
"Beta Squad! Send in the Faunus! We need extra troops to take the middle ring now!" As soon as she said those words, a reply was heard. "Copy that Artemis, we'll be right on with the reinforcements."
Before the battle, Ralen had decided that each of the main commanders would get a code name to use in battle. He choose himself to be Deathless, Pyrrha took Artemis, Sun took on Hanuman, and Coco was Java. Rather fitting if you asked Pyrrha herself. But she digressed. Soon enough, the Bull heads flew over her into the middle ring, carrying faunas soldiers, several paladin mech-suits and some scorpion battle tanks. Speeding towards the soldiers, she held her spear high as she yelled to her men "For the Hunt! Assault the High Ring!"
Roars of approval came from the soldiers as they sped to the final ring that guarded the palace. Ralen was right, this was a day to be long remembered.
Ralen pulled his blade out of the torso of the elite guard he had just slew. Blood was spillt all around him, as he was surrounded by fresh corpses, many in a bloody mess. He wiped the gore off the blade, before sheathing it on his back and pressing forward, kicking away a body in front of him. As he advanced to the palace, he was slightly impressed by the sheer scope of the building, it was magnificent. Shame it would probably be burnt down soon.
A large escort party was running through the main door and into the sides of the building. In it was Governer Wu, an old...'acquaintance' of Ralen, Wu thought that he should get access to Hunter weapons when he and Ralen first met, good thing was that Wu had matured. As Ralen began to sprint towards the escaping governor, a large boulder suddenly flew to Ralen, intent on crushing him. Ralen leaped out of the way and unsheathed his blade, putting himself into a ready position. Near by was the largest man Ralen had seen in a long time. Easily towering over the Hunter, the mountain of a man had a large amount of stone on his body, clearly for armor and a masked face. He stood tall and proud, a true warrior of the Earth Kingdom. Killing him would be fun.
"You dare attack my home? You shall die for your ignorance!" The large man announced loudly, before using his earthbending to launch himself to Ralen. As he was about to land, he lifted his arms and shot some stone from his gauntlets, making small rocks fly at blinding speeds. Ralen jumped back, avoiding the rock projectiles for the most part before dashing forward to meet his opponent. Metal alloy meet hardned stone as the gauntlets and the Infinity Blade clashed. The opponents faces were close to each other, allowing Ralen to head butt the man, sending him back and shattering his mask. As the mask shattered revealing his face, the mountain of a man roared in rage as he bended rocks to launch at Ralen. Ralen then pressed forward, using the Infinity Blade to slice and deflect the stones out of his way. When Ralen reached the man, he twirled and slashed the mans back. The rocks on his back protected him for the most part, but the force behind the blow was enough to hurt the man from blunt force trauma.
"I'll tear off your head!" The mountain yelled before swinging his fist wildly, intent on hitting Ralen. Ralen however ducked and performed a Coup De'Grace, slicing the mans hand off of its wrist. As blood pooled out of the stump on his wrist, the man screamed loudly in pain as he grasped his wrist. "Im-Impossible! I am the Mountain! The champion of Ba-Sing-Se itself! I-Urk!" The man could not finish as Ralen had grabbed him by his short hair. "Champion huh? You'll die like the rest." Ralen then thrust-ed his sword into the mans throat and out the back of his head. As the gurgled his lasts breaths, Ralen quickly moved the blade to the left while dropping the man. The sword cleaved through the mans head, allowing half of it to fall off while the other half to stay on the neck. The headless man then fell forward onto his knees, and the corpse collapsed. Ralen studied the corpse, then sheathed his blade. Moving at a brisk pace, he ascended the stairs, and overlooked the city. The city was aflame. Hunter forces, both Human and Faunus had overrun the capital. The battle was won. Ralen smiled underneath his helmet. The war had truly begun and it was feeling glorious. His personal communication device flared to life, and he answered. "Sir!" A distorted voice came from the device, "We intercepted Govenor Wu and an escort party fleeing towards Republic city. Should we take them prisoner?"
"No. Give them a message to the President that the war has begun. Then let them go. We need a messenger to tell the corrupt on what to prepare for." The soldier agreed his Ralen's orders and logged off. Leaving Ralen, the Huntsman, the Worker of Secrets, Galath, the Last Deathless, by himself watching a burning city. "Your move, Korra."
How was that? Did you enjoy the first battle of the great war? I personally thought I did a good job with it, but that's just me.
There also is an announcement. I got bored so I'm going to start updating Legend of Korra: Infinities (Rewrite) again. Hey, Hey I can't hear myself over your cheers of excitement! Quiet, Quiet! Good, I'm now going to focus my attention to Infinites and this story for the most part, untill this one is done. After this, I'm free to do whatever I please! Yay's all around! Maybe after this I'll do a Dragon Age fic, maybe with Fairy Tail...(I did an easter egg for the anime. I started watching, it's surprisingly good, considering my experience with Anime is either nonexistent or bad [Cough-Cough-Tokyo Mew Mew-COUGH COUGH]).
Thank you all for reading and I'll see you all next time! Please Rate and Review.
