Chapter 7: Suspicions
Lelouch went back at the house around four in the morning, after getting all of the information that he needed from the guard. The Kyoshi warriors went back to their small house next door, and C.C. was still on the front porch, sitting in the rocking chair, staring off into space.
"You've stayed out here all night?" said Lelouch, no longer in his Zero costume, so that no one would be suspicious of him.
"Why do you care?" responded C.C. in her usual board expression.
"I'm just asking."
"Hm. To tell the truth, I was waiting for you to come back up here. I didn't know how long you'd be."
"Are they still asleep inside?"
"I believe they are, seeing that it's four o'clock in the morning."
"Is it really that late?"
"It could be considered early, depending on what side you're looking at."
"Ha, I guess it could be."
Inside, all was asleep, except poor Katara, who had been awake for quite a while now, and was not able to fall back into her slumber.
She looked around, seeing that everyone was still asleep, but Lelouch and C.C. were not in their beds.
She sat up, and took a closer look, just to be sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, and saw that they were for sure not in their beds.
She got up, and went to the front porch, but before she even opened the door, she could hear them talking.
"So, what all did you find out?" asked C.C.
"I found out that I was right about everything. This city is a city of fools and they have a fool for a king. He's nothing but a figure head, but a symbol to the city. If you control the King and the Dai Lee, that's the key to controlling Ba Sing Se."
"So, what do you plan to do about it?"
"The man behind the King is known as Long Feng, and from what I've observed, he likes to keep things quiet, which helps to keep this place a utopia in the eyes of the people, so we need to make things known to everyone. When I'm done with this city, everyone will know the truth, and everyone will know Zero."
"So, what's your plan?" asked Katara, opening the door.
"The plan is to make the truth become revealed, and the city will fall into itself, and we will help it to stay strong with the help of Zero."
"So, are you still not gonna bring Kallen and the others here?"
"I might bring Kallen and Ohgi just to help out a bit, but that's all. I don't plan on bringing what I have at home over here, but to make a new, so that I can keep them mostly separate."
"Sounds good," said Katara.
"I really think that you'll like what I have in mind."
Meanwhile, Azula and her group are on the inside of Ba Sing Se, and Azula was plotting on a way to over throw the King and take the city for the Fire Nation.
"Man, Azula," said Ty Lee, "I can't believe that you got us into the city!"
"This place is run by fools, so it's not too hard to get in when you think about it right," said Azula.
"Do you have a plan?"
"Not yet, but it won't be too long before I have something. The key to getting power in this city is the Dai Lee, and to control the person controlling the King."
"Doesn't the King make his own decisions?"
"Yes, but the one controlling him leads him in the direction that he wants, and the King doesn't make military decisions, last time I checked."
"Where do you get all of your information?" asked Mai.
"That's nothing that should be asked. The big question for us is will our man behind the mask come out?"
"Didn't he call himself Zero?" asked Ty Lee.
"I believe so."
"He looked like he scared you last time he saw you," said Mai. "I don't think I've ever seen you so scared!"
That made Azula mad, but she knew that if she used her fire bending that it might blow her cover.
"Don't you EVER say that again! I was NOT scared!" she thundered at them.
"Gosh, Azula, no need to get like that. Everyone gets scared every now and then," she said with a smile on her face.
"But I wasn't scared!"
"Uh, hu. Sure you weren't," said Mai in her board tone.
Long Feng was inside of the palace asleep when the guard was attacked, and he awoke that morning to news of the attack.
"Bring in the guard," he said, ready to question them.
He came in, and stood right in front of him as he ate his breakfast.
"So, I understand that you were attacked last night, is that correct?"
"Yes, sir," said the guard.
"What all do you remember?"
"Well, that's just the thing, sir. I don't remember much. One moment, I was in front of the door, when I saw some girls come up on me, then, I remember being in front of the palace, almost instantaneously. And, these eyes! That was all I could remember, but the biggest thing was the eyes! They scared me, and I didn't know what to do."
"Alright. Was anything taken?"
"No, sir," said a Dai Lee agent.
"Hm, so, the question is, what did they come for? I'll pay a visit to the Avatar today, and I'll see if he knows anything."
"The Avatar?"
"Did you not hear? The Avatar's in the city, and I feel that I owe him a visit anyways."
