Authors Note: Hey everybody I'm on spring break.. well I was, but it gave me more time to create chapters. Please enjoy! Oh and I hope you enjoy the actually one hour episode of the actually show Avatar Legends of Korra which aired April 14th. Well if you watched it, I hoped you enjoyed it and just a reminder that this story was written before the actually show came out so I might've done things a little differently... I don't own LoK, or any of it's characters!

Khai (1st person)

I didn't know how long they kept me on that damned blimp, it felt like hours.. but why would they tell me? Why would they tell an Equalist "spy"? They kept me handcuffed and surrounded every second, none would leave my side. I couldn't even looked beyond five feet, metal benders surrounded had me close at hand.

"Khai! Khai!, over here! was your plan foiled as an spy for the Equalist party?", reporters pushed and shoved their way to get through to me, they were like animals. It was almost like a reverse mosh pit.

Bright lights, flashed in my eyes. So many flashes went off I began to see spots, beam after beam of light blasted through the metal bending blockade. I had no idea where I was or how any of these people came to know my name. I guess once the word of an Equalist in a WLP district got out, all hell brakes loose and it spreads like wildfire. I wasn't mad, well not at them anyway, my mind had still been throbbing on my recent encounter with.. what I expected to be a member of The Pride.

My brain hurt and I felt sick to my stomach but that could have been just be the lack of food talking, I hadn't eating in what seemed like days. My appetite grew less and less each passing second, which only made me feel weaker, my brother, my father, I need power if I'm going to defeat them. I need to get stronger.

"Over here! Over here!", more reporters began to shout and push through but my security had pushed harder.

"Is it true you killed a member of The Pride?"

"What's your motivation, besides being an Equalist?"

"Is it true your father is an Equalist district leader?"

I ignored them all, how my name got out will be my death, not to mention be a great excuse to have the Equalist party to invade the Yangchen district so they can come and "claim me", an funny and clever thought. They're so desperate for a damn motive. I couldn't tell where I was, except for in the city. The skyscrapers had given that perfectly away. However I had a hunch they were taking me to their department or maybe their police headquarters, I didn't know or even care for that matter, I had a goal and this was just a "minor" setback.

More blinding flashes of pierced through the police wall, there were probably hundreds, maybe thousands that surrounded me but hell if I new, I could barely see past five feet. This was only the beginning who knows when once we've past the reporters, what other might be waiting for me. The ones who hate me to, as they might be a bit more actuated to get their hands around my throat.

"Mr. Khai, what is your cause?"

Even with these guards, these reporters got on my nerves and buried deep under my skin. I didn't want to tell them anything to personal but I had to at least answer one.

"I don't-"

The metal bending police officers fist had struck the back of my head, sending a quick but still sharp pain and left a nice bruise. "Don't speak!", he ordered. I shook my head in disbelief, a world where your protective guard hurts you, it's a shame. Then again I had to keep reminding myself that I was the son of a infamous Equalist party leader so I shouldn't really expect tea and cookies.

The police stopped moving, they showed no emotion as the reporters tried to get a word from me, even though they knew I couldn't speak. They had the word austere written all over their face, they wouldn't move a muscle or let anyone move them. Standing as if they had been the skyscrapers of Republic City, and I still didn't know where I was but I could feel the ground begin to shake.

The ground rumbling seemed to shake everything, the looses gravel shifted and the shaking caused the small rocks to hop up and down. I lifted upon my toes to see if I can see anything but I felt a hand on my shoulder and was immediately pushed back down by the policemen.

"Stand Down!", he demanded still showing no emotion. "Don't speak" and "Stand down", I'm lucky to have the right to breathe, Khai thought. The ground shook even harder and faster now. A train, they had led me to a train station and not just the normal civilian transport train, this was the an armored transport unit or ATU. They had many types of these which can range from, tiny cars to aircraft. The civilian trained was of a rusty red color, while the ATU train was a pure metal plating. The ATU's had entered Republic City, four years after it was built to fend off anyone still convinced their bending was superior.

The train ATU brought a gust of wind as it entered the station, it blew papers around and into the face of anyone who stood in their way. Khai had an eye for the ATU, Bao had bragged about how he felt safe in it, it was a massive machine, covered many time with metal plating. It was the strongest thing in the city, not even Mao could have blown apart its steel complexity.

"Move!", the officer said. He slamming his palm onto my shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah", I said.

"Quiet, don't speak!", he replied.

I can't even respond? Dammit they're harsh, can I sneeze or cough? What if I have to use the bathroom?, my mind wondered off into many subjects. As I stepped aboard the massive hunk of metal, I was met by a man who seemed to be.. very involved in his job. He was wearing a blue blazer with his collar flipped upwards. He wore dark glasses that seemed to swallow his eyes and a typical security hat.

"You gettin' on or what?", he spoke with a very deep voice.

"Kinda don't have a choice now do I?", I said. He didn't even crack a grin he showed no emotion, the dark glasses blocking any sort of emotional perception. Another pain shot into the back of my skull as the officer hit me.

"Be Quiet! Get aboard now!", he ordered.

I got on board, the inside of the ATU seemed absolutely massive, much bigger then it did on the outside but definitely not as luxurious as I took it from my father. I sat on a cold metal bench with my cuffed hand on my lap. The air was thick and cold, it was like a prison on wheels. There were no windows, so for all I knew I could be going out of the city but I just couldn't assume that. Goosebumps grew on my arms, I shivered heavily and I could almost see my breath. I was on a journey to hell.

Police Headquarters

I couldn't tell which was worse, the ice cold temperature or the "personal bodyguards" the hit me every time I make sudden movements. I could barley blink without having someone around my throat with a combat knife, threatening me not to move. The metal table sent a stinging icy feeling through my arms and the chair's temperature had already frozen me to its seat.

Four policemen stood at each corner of the interrogation room, however I couldn't help but to think the rest of the army stood on the other side of the door. I couldn't see anything out the window, since it was semi transparent. I couldn't keep my eyes off that window, other the other side was my fate. The other officers plotting what would become of me, hanging, burning in oil, or just shot with arrows, I just wanted to know how would I go out.

I waited a couple more minutes in what seem to be the opposite of what hell was suppose to be like, that was until Captain Sven entered into the room and then the whole room felt like a sauna. He wore metal armor, the same as all the other officers, except a different badge. His grey officers hat, held his rank of captain, which showed again on his left shoulder. He was a strong built man, his position of a captain suited him really well. However his personality towards me was a little unorthodox.

He came in quietly at first but the impressions of an ill mannered man spoke for itself. He slapped down some files onto the desk which he had been carrying when he entered and casts a blank "Why the fuck am I here right now" look, directly onto me.

"Disorderly conduct, disruption of the peace, aiding and abetting a top wanted criminal, and mild destruction, boy who the hell do you think you are?", Sven said casting that same look from his eye. I swallowed what shame I had in my throat, this was completely unnecessary and embarrassing.

"Well first of all, sir, I never actually aided.."

"Enough! You were seen with Kessen and talking to him, as far as we know, it was just a deal gone bad. What I want to know is what you were really after. What was your motive to aid this criminal when you specifically knew you were in WLP territory?", he interrupted.

"Look! I wasn't planning anything with him, he nearly killed my best friend and I don't even know if he's still alive. I went down to find him, I had suspicions of him at in a dirty little pub, and we fought, that's it!", I wanted to jump up so bad, my legs were tingling. However I had to watch myself around this guards.

He smirked, pacing slowly around the table he had a very distasteful look in his eye. I couldn't turn around or else the guards would probably tackled me for something as crazy as arson or something else that didn't make sense. He stopped on his side of the table and looked at me, beginning to chuckle.

"Something funny?", I asked. Sven pulled out his chair and sat down, folding his hands around the folder that contained some personal files. "Not really, things are irritating, like having some fucked up Equalist in our city. So I'm going to ask you again, what are you doing here!", his voice strained, by the look in his eye he wanted to see my blood on the ground.

Honestly thought I didn't know what to say, it was Porter who had brought me here. However I vaguely remember something about Chief Bei Fong setting us up here, maybe she could help.

"I want to speak to Chief Bei Fong", I asked politely. No need to make this guy hate me any more then he already does. He raised a brow, he acted like he was surprised I even knew who she was. He sat back in his chair, leaning on the back two legs and rocking himself back and forth.

"I'm just as important as the chief boy, anything she needs to know I can know", he said.

I was stressed. I could feel my skin crawling with irritation, and is was if my spine itself was rattling it was so cold. I exhaustively slapped my arms onto the cold metal table, what other choice did I have.

"She helped us get here and..", I stopped frozen in fear. "US", I had risked everybody, Ruan and John. I know John probably could take on the whole republic army if he wanted to but I didn't want to make him sound like an Equalist to have more shit on his plate.

"Us?", Captain Sven mimicked.

"It was nothing, I just.. stuttered, nothing of interest", I quickly said. I bit down hard on my tongue, so I didn't give away anything else. Captain Sven started to laugh.

"None of my interest? Boy, internal affairs is my whole damn interest! Just because you come in here and slip up, you think you can just get away with it by saying "oops"? Why the hell do you think we keep it so damn cold in here, if we don't get to ya, the temperature definitely will!", Sven said laughing his head off.

So that why it was cold, a tactic in order to make an enemy feel uncomfortable so they make a mistake, very clever. "You must be out of your damn mind if you think you think you can just walk out of here Equalist filth! Now stop wasting my time, and tell me how many more of a ya'?", Captain Sven asked. I didn't respond right away, which caused him to lean in closer to me, his muddy eyes sank into mine.

"C'mon now, we don't have all day. Your lucky I do report you to Colonel Chang, otherwise you'd be on the ground in tears", Sven said uttering a short deep laugh. I smiled sinisterly, his teeth were of a smoker breathe yellow. His gums had been corroding with gingivitis but somehow he ignored the pain. However one thing didn't sit still with me, Colonel Chang? Why the hell would he need report to a military colonel, didn't he work for the police?, I wondered.

"Colonel Chang?", I asked. Sven was quickly catching on to his mistake, he slowly and calmly leaned back in his chair, acting like I didn't catch him in his act.

"Well then captain, looks like the temperature is getting to you as well", I said leaning back in my chair. A large frown appeared over his face.

"What of him?", he replied.

"You seem to have me mistaken for some foolish, fresh-out-of-college, Captain Sven. Your in the White Lotus Army, not in the police force, why the hell are you operating in homeland affairs, you damn know right that's in violation of Republic City main contract!", I yelled. I knew I had him, I could even tell I had struck his guards to the point where they found themselves a little paranoid.

Captain Sven's reaction had caught me off guard. Instead of looking surprised as all the other guards he was nodding his head and smiling at the same time. He started to laugh but it didn't last long, he then paused and looked up at me. "Well I've obviously misread you boy, here I thought you were just some no good thug, well I was wrong but it's alright because your only an Equalist spy, telling me about the history I already know. No, No it's fine being the Equalist you are you've have all the rights and power to do whatever you want", Sven said changing the main point back towards me. I look confused, he had obviously switched back the subject but he said with a hint of sarcasm.

Captain Sven slammed his fists on the cold, metal table and stood up, shooting out his finger into my face, "Who the fuck do you think you are? Here you go again telling me what I can and can't do, boy your an Equalist I'm with the WLP we're different! Me being in the army makes no difference, whats so ever! Where here focusing on you not me kid, YOU!", he shouted. There was a long silence until he sat back down, comfortably in his chair.

"We don't look so different, you and I, what makes us apart?", I asked

"Dammit do I have to spell it out for ya? YOUR AN EQUALIST!", he said pronunciation each letter of the word. Spit flew out of his mouth on the last letter, slamming into my face.

"Yea, I heard that.. but I'm not. I've resented being one of them for a long time now, why the hell do you think I've been living here in the Yangchen area? Besides who's in a better situation here: Me, the one who resents his evil family to join the good side or You: Who forces his own soldier to enter the city, breaking the law!, and terrorizing citizens with the message of the evils of Equalism? Seriously I've seen innocence die because of people like you!", I exclaimed.

"It wasn't my decision kid, I was flowing orders from General Situ to put this city into lock down. Everyone knows there's going to be a revolution soon, we can all feel it. It's up to me to secure these people to the fullest extent with safety and comfort, and I don't need some insolent brat like yourself telling me otherwise!", he shouted.

I truly wanted to pull my hair out, he was absolutely agonizing there was no way I could convince him any differently. There was a knock at the door, getting Sven's attention he slowly and exhaustively rose from his chair and walked out the door. About five minutes went by I could faintly here shouting coming through from the sound proof door, to my surprise the door open so suddenly but Captain Sven had not returned.

"Your a real pain kid, you know that? All I do for you people and this is how you repay me? Where the hell is Porter?", Chief Bei Fong asked.

"Probably back at the place you set up for him but I need to get out-"

"Yeah, yeah don't worry about it, I already having the paperwork being filed for your release. It's a pain in the ass but it has to be done, you know they had you set without bail?, She asked curiously. She wore the same outfit as Captain Sven but I had already knew that his was fake.

"Well I can guess they wouldn't give meany special treatment", I said.

She squinted her eyes at me and looked over her shoulder. She could hear Sven shouting to the guard officer just as much as I could, she smirked. "What a baby. C'mon kid, I've arranged for you to leave and return to you apartment"

"Wait, I can just go? Really, just like that?", I asked. It had all seemed to easy, that I was just being let out and going home. It all seemed to quick.

"Yes! Now stop asking questions and let's get the hell out of here", she ordered. I immediately stood up, she didn't have to ask me twice.. or three time, anyways I knew what was going down and I needed to get back to John and Ruan. I followed her out the door, Sven was gone, vanished as he was nowhere in the long metal halls. The air felt good, relieving really against the ice cold temperatures I had endured on the ATU and the interrogation room. I was glad I hadn't given him any information, my whereabouts in the city must be unknown and there's know doubt that he would want to question John's men about where they came from. However I really hadn't worried about them needing help, they were so advance they could've probably taken out the whole damn planet.

The sun had hit me harder than John's training. The heat wrapped itself around my face and I wore it proudly, soon enough my body was back to its normal temperature and I felt great. The Chief wouldn't tell me anything about whats been going on but I'm pretty sure she knows a lot more. We walked along the edge of the street, approaching one of her metal plating satomobile, which was the new civilian automobile created by Hiroshi Sato of Future Industries.

She opened the back seat and pulled out handcuffs and motioned me towards them.

"Your kidding right? Why do I have to wear those?", I asked uncomfortably at the steel cuffs.

"You see those people over there? Well there your fan club", she nudged her head to the left, pointing out a huge angry group of people.

A large sea of angry eyes were locked onto mine. My name had gotten around ever since my arrest and I guess it wasn't safe to let them assume I was just being let go, I would've been dead in minutes. I gave in, she slapped the cuffs onto my wrists and I sat in the back seat. She slammed the door and starred at me through the half way rolled down window.

"I have to stay here Khai but don't worry about your drivers, they should be coming as long as their not slacking off, good luck kid and try not to get yourself killed", she said "encouragingly". I grinned, know need to hate everything and hating her would be the last thing I need but I waited like five minutes before my drivers arrived.

They wore modern metal bending police armor, nothing special about them.

"You Khai?", The officer grunted. It was obvious he wasn't a big fan of mine either but he would be taking me back to John so it wasn't all bad.

"Speak up kid, we don't have all day", the one in the passenger seat said.

"Yea, I'm him"

"Good"

He started up the satomobile, the engine roared with great condition but that wasn't until to men smashed the windows. Glass from both the drivers and passenger seat flew inward and their doors swung open. A stun baton shot out a bolt of electricity into the officers neck and sent them into a very long period of numbness. They grunted heavily and their bodies were rendered useless but only for a short time. Their bodies were dragged out of the car and thrown in street, like garbage and the two attackers got in.

They were Equalists I could tell. They're dark goggles were attacked into the dark mask. Around their face wrapped what seemed to be a golden rebreather but I could never tell what it was. Th darkness of their voice matched with the darkness of their eyes.

"Jun's been expecting you, traitor", his voice was muffled by his mask.

My heart started to pound I was completely vulnerable with these cuffs on. It would be awhile before anyone could notice the knocked out guards so nobody saw what was going on. I felt what seemed to be thousands of volts of electricity go through my body, my vision blurred at a rapid pace and my air became thick. The stun baton had be shoved into my abdomen but it felt like it went all the way through sending an icy pain throughout my whole body.

Things got dark, very dark. I soon blacked out.
