"Followers of our amon! Republic City is ours, and Bending is now Illegal in this city. But the dream will not stop here. Once we are able to bring the dimensional gate back online, which the Police force have issued an emergency lockdown and power down to, we shall conquer all of the worlds and spread our equality to all of them!" Sato said.
High above in the concealed Heavens Gate's…
"These equalists are really determined to get the Warp gate back online." Lucas said as Twilight was showing him the stuff happening.
"If they do, no world will be safe. Amon hasnt evolved what ever it is he does to take away color fighting, Enhancements, or even Devil Fruit powers yet though." Twilight said.
"He wouldn't get that gate to operate anyway. The operations are actually off world. Can't operate unless you go to the world its run on." Lucas said.
"So basically, the Equalists are stuck here." Mako said.
"Yes. I should know. I helped design the gates myself." Lucas said.
"Iroh's fleet will be here any minute now, its been a few days." Korra said.
"The problem is getting Amon before Flux can even assassinate him. But I doubt hes having no less of a good time than us right now." Hope said in his bed.
"Assassinate? But wouldn't that be a good thing?" Lucas said.
"He wants to use amons killing as proof to be accepted into the Villain's Society." Twilight said.
"Villains Society? I'm sorry but I've never heard of it before." Lucas said.
"Same here and I know a lot about criminals." Umbra said.
"Look it up. I'm sure you'll find it." Hope said.
"Hmm. Well, there's no record of a villains society, but we do have people in robes meeting in a building in republic city. It happens to be Flux's restaurant. Maybe we could 'persuade them' to call off the hit." Twilight said. "Stick it to old Flux."
"Hmm. Sound like fun. I'm in." Dan said.
"Me too." Hope said slowly getting up.
"You sure you wanna go?" Lacy asked.
"Im good. They really fixed me up. I know how to take hits." Hope said. "Who else is going?"
"I'll take a whack at it." Cat Noir said.
"Me too." Ladybug said.
"Great. A four person team." Hope said. "We'll be back soon."
The three of them descended down to the ground near Flux's Foods as they heard laughter inside as they saw the robed figures watch the naval vessels be attacked by bombs.
"Definitely them." Ladybug said.
"Okay. On the count of one. One." Dan said as he kicked the doors down as the hooded figures gasped.
"Who the hell are you guys?" one of them asked.
"The guys who found the truth and are about to beat you to the ground to call off this assassination." Hope said.
"Assassination? Oh, you're friends with that loser Flux." one of them said as they laughed.
Ladybug realized.
"You were never really gonna give him the position, were you? It was all a lie." Ladybug said.
"Duh. We don't care about that loser. We cared about his projects." one of them said.
"See, before he took the job, we made him sign a paper that transfers his projects over to us. So we gave him a job that would definitely get him killed, then we take his projects and sell them to better villains." another said.
"I get it. Take the D-Lister who's been foiled so many times out and give his works to better guys." Cat Noir said.
"Yeah. Hell, we thought he'd get suspicious of us at some point, but those worries weren't needed. I mean, there's no such thing as a villains society." another of them said.
"So under those hoods… who are you?" Dan said.
They removed their hoods to reveal guys with glasses and spectacles. "Just a bunch of nerds who started this club to make money off loser villains like Flux."
"We tell them they've been selected to join a super exclusive club and then we send them on a mission that gets them killed and sell off their plans and possessions." another said.
"So flux is gonna get himself killed." Hope said. "Man, I feel sorry for the guy already…"
"Really? They think Im a loser?" a voice said as flux came into the door with a gun in hand as all three gasped.
"You...youre supposed to be dead!" one said.
"I came back for my bullets. I can;t believe I fell for this!" Flux said.
"You may think Flux is a loser, but theres one thing about him you guys dont know." Hope said.
"I never leave a grudge unfinished." Flux said. "Hopeless, you aren't too busy right now are you?"
"Just about to dismantle amon." Hope said.
"But as a warm up...how about a little beating on these nerds?" Flux asked.
Hope cracked his knuckles. "You wanna know something else? I dont take damage from light based attacks."
"You were faking that?!" one said.
"I'll admit...I was hurt a bit, but I healed fast from her light." Hope said. "So, I take it you also sent that claim to the high master?"
"We...we just wanted to make sure our tracks were clean." one of them said.
"Call it off, and tell Lucas to delete the virus. Also your doing." Hope said.
"I think both those things were going to happen even if we werent about to beat on them." Dan said.
"Clobberin time." Hope said.
"Oh please no…!" one of them said as fighting could be heard inside the restaurant as well as screaming.
Soon, the beaten nerds were hung on a rope by a streetlight.
"Your...you guys are gonna let us down right?" one of them asked.
"Sure. We'll let you down later. After the party...the pinata party." Flux smiled as children gathered around the nerds with bats.
"See ya. We have an airfield to destroy and a masked freak to beat." Hope said.
"So Iroh already told you the plan?" Dan asked.
"Yeah. Korras going to settle things with Amon and Makos going with. I dont want her being taken out. So I sent Vashyron, Applejack and Sakura to support them." Hope said.
At air temple island…
"Oh sure, great idea to send a pervert and jealous samurai with us." Mako said.
"I do NOT get jealous. Well, maybe with Ogami a little…." Sakura said.
"And I only came to make sure the ladies were safe with you." Vashyron said. "Protecting them and their bunker busters."
"Im younger than you…" Korra said as they reached the attic to find Tarrlok.
"Tarrlock?" Korra said.
"This is the last place wed find you here." Vashyron sad.
"I'll admit it isnt. I assume youre not here for a rescue?" Tarrlok asked.
"No, but what are you doing here anyway? Youre that important to Amon to keep close?" Sakura said.
"Yes." Tarrlok said.
"What makes you so special?" Korra said.
"Because Amon is my brother." Tarrlok said.
"What?!" Vashyron said.
"Amon is from the Northern Water Tribe. He's a water bender and a bloodbender." Tarrlok said.
"That would mean Yakone trained you both." Sakura said.
"Yes, but back when amon went by his original name, Noatak, those days in our youth were the best for us. Then we discovered we were waterbenders. After that, our father trained us without rest, trained us to be his tools of revenge. Years would pass before my brother opposed Yakone and ran away. We thought he had perished in the storm. Yakone passed away years later. I thought that I was as far away from his ideals as I could, but...I still allowed his ghost to shape me into his weapon of revenge." Tarrlok said. "This Revolution, even though this is some ploy from Amon, he truly believes that bending is evil."
"That's...so sad." Sakura said crying a bit.
"Then, a year ago, Amon told me he met someone. A traveler from a distant world who would teach him how to take another person's bending through bloodbending. He didn't tell me his name. But he referred to him as a black haired drifter from a land of magic." Tarrlok said.
"Black haired drifter." Applejack said thinking it over. "It sounds familiar but...wait….Zeref." Applejack said.
"Zeref… Zeref…" Tarrlok said. "I know that name. Even in bending legends, the tales of that Dark Wizard was always found one way or another. The most evil being to have ever walked the earth."
"Afraid to disappoint, but he still walks the earth. Zeref is alive." Sakura said.
"The dudes some kind of immortal, creating these evil things called Etherious's to kill himself. We fought a whole guild of them once." Vashyron said.
"Then do me a favor. Stop Amon. And when you find Zeref, stop him from revealing the truth to Natsu Dragneel… and kill him." Tarrlok said.
"Natsu? What does the dark wizard have to do with him. Sure he's got some attachment to him, but that's about it. What's the big deal?" Vashyron said.
"Zeref's full name. Its Zeref Dragneel." Tarrlok said.
"So that means, E.N.D… the same thing gray is searching for…" Korra said.
"Its stands for Etherious Natsu Dragneel. What Silver wants Gray to destroy is one of the Dimensional Heroes Sub-leaders." Tarrlok said. "Destroy the strongest demon that could kill Zeref as well as the younger brother of the dark wizard himself."
"Whoa. This is really heavy." Vashyron said.
"Above all else, do not let Natsu Dragneel near the truth. Destroy Zeref yourselves without even letting him near that boy." Tarrlok said.
"Right." Korra said. " But as for amon, we know hes a bender now, secretly."
"Hes planning a rally at the Probending Stadium. If we can reveal the whole thing to all his followers then…" Mako said.
"Goodbye revolution and universal domination." Applejack said.
"Do you… want us to free you?" Sakura said.
"No. Amon must not know I spoke to anyone. Just...end this sad story." Tarrlok said.
"Yeah. Its time to end this tale." Vashyron said.
