Kang, Zu and Li surfed along the postal system, the moonlit night sky dimly illuminating the city surroundings whilst the Giant swung his massive arms back and forth, pushing the earthen cart along. The Boys arrived at the back alley of the bakery, the dim light of the Bakery interior shining onto the alley.
"Li! Do the thing!" Zu whispered as Li swished his hands at a pipe within the Bakery, the water piercing and screeching out, but no cries from the baker hit their ears.
"Huh... maybe he's out," Zu whispered as the three sneaked in, sticking to the shadows before making their way into the oven illuminated room, the red light washing over their faces as they gazed at the shelves and metal stacks of pastries.
"Alright! Load them into the pouch and we'll be on our way!" Kang told them as he popped his pouch open, stretching it out whilst Zu and Li gathered the pastries. But as they filled the pouch, the screeching water stopped.
"Huh... that was quick..." Li quietly exclaimed as Zu's eyes widened, sensing the footsteps of two people approaching.
"Hah! Caught you red-handed!" A gruff voice shouted, The Boys turning to see the baker and Avatar Aang standing in the doorway.
"But our hands aren't red!" Kang nonchalantly replied.
"Figure of speech, Kang," Zu whispered as Kang's face lightly scrunched up.
"I've been sick of you lot raiding my bakery! So I got the Avatar here to deal with you, hopefully permanently!" The Baker proclaimed as The Boys winced.
"I don't plan to kill them, Baker," Aang told them as he approached, "I'm not like Zu," the Avatar took a jab at the Giant as he disapprovingly glared.
"Well, you see Avatar, I prepared for this moment!" Zu proclaimed as he raised his finger to Aang.
"What are you planning to do? Slam the door in my face?" Aang curiously asked as Zu smirked.
"No! I am not!" Zu replied, punching his fist up and trapping the Avatar in the earth. The Boys quickly pocketed their bounty, the Giant crashing through the walls of the Bakery.
"MY WALL!" The Baker shouted as he ruffled his hair, Zu quickly popping back through.
"Apologies!" Zu nonchalantly told him, swiftly raising a piece of earth where they crashed through. The Boys made a run for their home, but Aang had freed himself, chasing The Boys down atop a massive Air scooter.
"Zu! He's catching up!" Kang shouted as they sprinted, the Giant looking behind to see Aang gaining ground on them.
"Any plans in that genius mind of yours?" Zu asked as Kang hummed for a moment.
"Just one!" Kang replied, taking his pouch off from his shoulder, "Li! Take this!" Kang told him as he handed the water-bender the pouch.
Li quizzically grabbed the pouch, slinging it over his shoulder as Kang swiftly turned around, unleashing a roaring stream of fire at Aang, the Avatar falling from his Air scooter, gracefully landing on the ground as he gazed at The Boys.
"You two get going whilst I hold him off!" Kang told them, his fists raised to the Avatar.
"Kang, that's the Avatar you're messing with!" Zu argued as Kang smirked.
"I know," Kang confidently replied as Zu shook his head.
"Well, don't overdo it," Zu told him as Zu and Li made a run for it, leaving Kang behind to face the Avatar.
Kang and Aang stood face-to-face whilst Zu and Li ran off into the distance, the two staring each other down as the nightly wind slowly rushed passed them.
"A selfless act, Kang. But they won't be getting away," Aang taunted him, raising his palms as Kang rolled his neck.
"Let's just see," Kang smugly replied. The Young Fire-bender kicked out a crescent of crimson fire, but Aang swished his palms around his form, bending Kang's fire to his will and snuffing it out.
Aang unleashed out a slash of air, followed by kicking a boulder out towards Kang, but the young Fire-bender leapt over the slash, quickly ducking down, supporting his body with his hands whilst Aang sceptically looked at him.
Kang took advantage of the Avatar's bewilderment, pushing his arms up and bringing his feet forward, unleashing a blazing red fireball from the balls of his feet. Aang quickly raised an earthen wall, blocking the fire as it briefly crumbled.
"Your fighting style seems... familiar," Aang quizzically commented as Kang smirked.
"I learnt from the best," Kang replied, sombrely smirking as Aang hummed to himself.
Kang launched himself in on jets of Crimson fire, lunging and punching out at Aang, but the Avatar evaded, a great gust of wind following in his wake as Kang swung his leg low, unleashing a wave of flame as Aang leapt into the air, pirouetting through the air and landing gracefully.
"You're nimble for your age," Kang complimented him, hopping on the spot, his blood pumping as he flexed his arms.
"Hey, I'm only a hundred and fifty-two," Aang sarcastically replied, smirking at the young Fire-bender as he raised his palms to him, letting out a deep breath as Kang smirked.
"Let's see you dodge this then!" Kang confidently proclaimed, swishing his arms around his side, electricity crackling along his fingertips as Aang's eyes widened.
"Lightning!?" Aang muttered.
Kang unleashed a bolt of lightning at Aang, the electricity surging towards the Avatar as he pointed his fingertips to it, catching the lightning in his hand, the energy surging through him, his back muscles tensing as his heart skipped a beat.
The memory of the Crystal Catacombs pervaded the Avatar's mind, his fall, the lightning striking his back before he unleashed the lightning into the skies, catching the attention of nightly onlookers. The Avatar turned to Kang, his eyes twitching, his teeth nervously gritting.
"Huh, didn't see that one coming," Kang muttered as he slumped over, remaining focused on Aang.
"That... feeling, the lightning, his fighting style... no..." Aang thought to himself, his arms trembling as Kang cautiously stood up straight, raising an eyebrow to the Avatar.
"Are you... alright?" Kang asked, passively raising his palms.
"He's... her son. He's Azula's son!" Aang's thoughts screeched through his mind.
Kang slowly approached, but Aang struck his palms out, curving his wrists and pulling the air behind Kang, the Young Fire-bender stumbling forward as Aang launched himself forward, striking Kang's jaw with his knee.
Kang fell to the ground, rubbing his jaw as Aang approached, stomping his foot into the ground, launching an earthen prison up beneath Kang, trapping the young Fire-bender as he struggled to break free.
"I cannot allow you to remain in this city," Aang coldly told the Young Fire-bender, approaching him as he flexed his palms, "I'm taking away your bending, you're too much of a danger," Aang proclaimed as Kang gawked, his eyebrows quivering.
Zu and Li made it to the entrance to the Derelict Estate, the Giant looking back to the city as a look of worry washed over him.
"Li, get back to the house! I'm going to help Kang!" Zu told him as Li nodded his head.
"Good luck," Li replied as Zu nodded his head, the two going their separate ways.
Aang struck out at Kang's forehead and heart, a light radiating from the faces of the two as their bodies slowly turned to a crystalline blue and red. Zu charged back into the city, seeing the shining blue and red light of the two, his heart skipping a beat.
"KANG!" Zu shouted as he launched himself forward on waves of earth.
"If you stop Aang in the middle of his Energy-Bending, who knows what could happen," Toph's words echoed in the Giant's mind as he let out a heavy sigh.
"Well, Chief, we're about to find out," Zu muttered, launching from his earthen wave, smashing down before Kang and Aang.
The Giant grasped the Avatar in his meaty hands, breaking the connection as Kang let out a loud gasped. Zu tossed Aang like a rag doll, quickly breaking Kang free of his earthy prison.
"You alright, buddy?" Zu nervously asked as Kang groggily shook his head.
"I think so," Kang replied, his vision spinning as he looked up at his Giant friend.
"Can you still bend?" Zu hesitantly asked as Kang punched out a small puff of fire.
"Yep, seems weaker than usual though," Kang nonchalantly replied as Zu scooped him up, fleeing into a back alley as Aang pushed himself back up, forming an air scooter and blasting off to chase the two.
Zu sensed Aang's approach, his eyes darting to all directions before he let out a disgruntled groan, swishing his palm around and breaking open a hole, diving in with the young Fire-bender before quickly closing it.
"What are we doing?" Kang asked as Zu shushed him. Aang hopped off his air scooter, his breath ragged as he frantically looked around.
"Where are you!?" Aang muttered, several footsteps approaching as the two nervously sat in their hole.
"What the heck is going on Twinkle Toes!?" Toph demanded to know, two police officers standing by her side as Aang twisted around to her.
"Toph! I need your help finding that goggled kid and Zu," Aang replied, his body quaking as he approached the bemused Chief.
"You mean Kang? Why, what did he do?" Toph asked, crossing her arms as Aang took a deep breath, calming himself before looking to the Chief.
"That kid, Kang, he's Azula's son!" Aang told her, the Chief raising an unamused eyebrow to the Avatar.
"Azula? Crazy Fire Nation Princess Azula?" Toph asked as Aang nodded, the underground two trying to listen to their inaudible words.
"Yes! His fighting style is almost exactly like hers, and he shot lightning at me!" Aang explained as Toph slowly nodded her head.
"So just because of that, you think he's the son of the infamous Princess who's been missing for decades?" Toph asked, the Avatar letting out a heavy sigh as he placed a hand to his forehead.
"I know it seems unbelievable, but you have to believe me!" Aang told her as Toph hummed to herself.
"I can tell what you think you're saying is true... but I just can't begin to think that Kang is Azula's son," Toph replied, lightly scoffing to herself as she shook her head, "To start with, who in their right mind would start a family with her?" Toph argued as Aang crossed his arms.
"At least help me find them, then question him yourself!" Aang replied as Toph let out a heavy sigh, firmly planting her foot on the ground, arms clenched to her side as she sensed the vibrations in the ground.
"Oh, don't rat us out, Chief..." Zu muttered. Toph's eyes widened, a smirk breaking over her face as she scoffed.
"I don't know how he's done it, but I can't sense him," Toph lied, Aang's eyes widening as he stumbled over his words.
"You can't find either of them? But Zu's... Ginormous!" Aang replied, his disbelieve washing over him as he quizzically gazed at the Chief.
"I'm telling you, Twinkle Toes. That Big Softy's nowhere around here, and neither's Kang," Toph lied, crossing her arms as Aang let out a heavy sigh, nervously gazing at the ground as he tapped his foot.
"How about this, you cover the east side of the city whilst my men cover the west side, and I'll go check the Derelict Estate," Toph recommended as Aang nodded.
"Good idea," Aang replied, hopping on top of an Air scooter and zooming off into the city whilst Toph turned to the Police Officers behind her.
"He's right there isn't he, Chief?" A Police Officer asked as Toph scoffed.
"You didn't hear it from me!" Toph jested as the Police Officers scoffed and shook their heads, "Now you have your orders, go 'cover the west side of the city'," Toph commanded, winking as the Police Officers nodded, briefly bowing before rushing away.
Toph turned to the hole, swishing her arms around and opening up Zu and Kang's hole, revealing the hidden two.
"Thanks, Chief," Zu told her as he pushed himself and Kang out of the hole, letting the young Fire-bender climb onto the ground.
"Any time, you Big Softy," Toph replied, smirking at the Giant before turning to Kang, "Do you... mind if I ask you a question, Kang?" Toph asked, the Young Fire-bender freezing as he looked to Zu.
"If it's about you-know-who... I wouldn't recommend it, Chief," Zu told her, putting his massive hands to his hips as Toph let out a heavy sigh.
"I know it's a sensitive subject, but I need to know who she was exactly," Toph sombrely replied. Kang stood tall, taking a deep breath as he looked to the Chief.
"You can ask..." Kang told her, Toph took a deep breath, turning to face Kang.
"Your Mother. Was she a Fire Nation Princess by any chance?" Toph asked, Kang's eyebrow quizzically raising, Zu's eyes darting between the Fire-bender and Chief.
"She wasn't a Princess...?" Kang quizzically replied, Toph's eyes widening, as did Zu's. The Chief and Giant curiously looked to each other.
"Seems like he's telling the truth to me," Toph told the Giant as he nodded.
"Yeah..." Zu quizzically replied, "Hey Chief, would you mind sending a message out for me?" Zu asked, Toph nodding as Zu whispered into her ear whilst Kang sceptically looked to the two
"Well, Buddy. Let's get going home," Zu told Kang, patting his back, the Young Fire-bender nodding as he and the Giant made way back to the Derelict Estate whilst Toph made her way back home.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Zu asked as Kang let out a shaky breath.
"When the Avatar used that... what was it called again?" Kang began to explain.
"Energy-bending," Zu replied.
"Yeah, that was it," Kang told him, briefly nodding, "when he used it... it felt like we were connected, like our memories were clashing and flooding into one another," Kang explained his fingers rigid as he let out another shaky breath.
"What did you see?" Zu asked, raising a fluffy eyebrow to the young Fire-bender.
"I saw him falling in a crystalline cave, and someone who looked like... my mother when she was younger... a lot younger," Kang explained, hanging his head as Zu bruefly hummed.
"Let's not dwell on it too much, buddy," Zu told him, patting the young Fire-bender's back, "living in the past is no way to live, I know it'll be hard, but you need to move on," Zu firmly added as Kang looked up to him.
"How do I move on from what happened!? How am I supposed to live my life knowing I took the life of my own mother!?" Kang shouted, a tear rolling down his face as Zu knelt to his level.
"I'll be honest, Kang... I Don't know. But you're always going to have me and Li to help you," Zu reassured him, placing his hands on Kang's shoulders.
"Sorry for... shouting," Kang muttered as Zu lightly scoffed.
"It happens, buddy... now come on, let's go home," Zu replied, standing tall and walking back to the Derelict Estate.
"Yeah... home," Kang mumbled as he followed the Giant back to the Derelict Estate.
Several days passed by, Aang stayed vigilant over the city whilst The Boys hid away in their house, until they heard a knock on their door, the afternoon sun illuminating their surroundings.
Kang disabled the trap, a sharp pinging reverberating around the house as Zu opened the door, seeing a young man wearing a dark green jacket, and a murky gold undershirt adorned with several daggers sheathed in separate pouches across his chest, Navy blue slops covered his legs and a pair of shinobi style shoes covered his feet, his hair short and black, styled into a topknot, and his eyes grey, whilst two sheathed swords with odd runic symbols adorned his back.
"Are you the guy?" Zu asked, his voice daunting as the mystery man scoffed.
"I'm the guy," The man replied. Zu allowed the man to walk into the house, Li and Kang perking up from their seats.
"Kang! Meet your new bodyguard: Sky!" Zu greeted him as Sky waved.
"Kang," Sky said as he looked the Young Fire-bender up and down, "Word has, you went toe-to-toe with an Avatar and almost got Energy-Bent?" Sky asked as Kang nodded.
"Yeah... looking back on it, not my brightest idea," Kang replied, smirking as he hesitantly chuckled.
"Well, no need to fear, I've got the perfect thing to deal with Avatars," Sky proclaimed, unsheathing his swords and revealing the runes adorning them, "Shoot some Fire at them!" Sky demanded as Kang raised a quizzical eyebrow.
"Uh... okay?" Kang replied, punching a fireball at Sky. The Mercenary allowed the flames to strike his swords, snuffing them out as the red rune glowed, imbuing the swords with the power of fire.
"Whoa," Li and Kang exclaimed.
"The stories weren't joking," Zu muttered as he looked at the swords.
"Oh yeah," Sky replied, dismissing the flames before sheathing the swords.
"Hey, Kang, I have something for you," Zu told him as Kang raised a curious eyebrow.
The Giant led him and Sky out the door, Li following behind whilst Zu walked over to a large house near the end of the Derelict Estate, The Boys and Sky standing before it.
"Come on in," Zu told them as they all walked in, the chill wind blowing through the boarded windows whilst Zu pulled a large wooden pallet away, revealing a large hole in the wall. The Giant leapt into the hole, descending deep beneath the surface.
"Are you coming?" Zu asked, his voice echoing whilst Kang, Li and Sky sceptically looked to each other.
"Well, there's a ladder so... why not," Kang told them, leaping onto the ladder and descending to Zu. Li and Sky following him. Zu led The Boys and Sky into a massive dark metal room.
"Kang, would you mind lighting the candles on the walls?" Zu asked as Kang formed a flame in his hand, walking around the room and lighting the candles on the walls, illuminating the metallic room.
"I originally made this as a bunker... just in case Republic City ever went south," Zu explained as he strode into the bunker, "But I figured this would be a handy hideaway for you," Zu gestured to the room whilst looking to Kang.
"How long do you think I'll have to hide down here?" Kang asked as Zu let out a heavy sigh.
"I don't know... probably until the Avatar calms down," Zu replied as Kang let out a heavy sigh, "But hey, if you need to go out, you've got Sky, and if you need us for anything, we're here," Zu reassured the Young Fire-bender, a smile cracking over his goggled face as he looked to the bunker.
"Well, first things first! I need to improve the lighting, and secondly! I need to come up with a better way to get in and out of here," Kang eagerly proclaimed as Zu looked to his ladder.
"What's wrong with the ladder?" Zu asked as Kang turned to him.
"Nothing! I just know I can improve upon it!" Kang replied, the Giant and Li scoffing whilst Sky smirked.
"Well, do with it as you please, buddy! And stay safe," Zu told him as he and Li ascended back up the ladder, leaving Sky and Kang alone in the dimly lit bunker.
"So... improving the lighting, how do you plan to do that?" Sky asked, crossing his arms as Kang hummed to himself.
"Lin's Ironworks!" Kang spoke aloud, rushing over to the ladder and quickly ascending, shortly followed by Sky.
"Hey! Don't run off, I can't protect you if you're so far away!" Sky shouted as he chased Kang, reaching the entrance of the building, seeing Kang waiting for him.
"Sorry, got a bit overzealous there," Kang nervously apologised as Sky scoffed, smirking and shaking his head as he gestured to the city.
"Lead the way, O Mad inventor," Sky jested as Kang strutted out into the Derelict Estate, stroking his chin.
"Mad Inventor... I like it!" Kang enthusiastically replied, snapping his fingers and pointing to Sky. The two made their way into the Sunlit city, passing by citizens, their chatter filling their ears as the scent of Ostrich-Horse pervaded the air.
As Kang and Sky ventured, they reached the entrance to Lin's Ironworks, but as they walked towards the glass door, Aang descended from the roof, landing in front of the two. Sky quickly withdrew his swords whilst Kang raised his fists, but Aang passively raised his hands.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to fight," Aang told them, straightening his maroon robes as Kang lowered his fists.
"No one drops out of the sky to not fight," Sky argued as Aang set his steely gaze on the mercenary.
"I've been looking for Kang, I wanted to apologise for how I acted," Aang calmly told him, Sky scoffing and lowering his blades.
"Alright, but keep your distance, Avatar," Sky demanded, as Aang faced Kang.
"Toph informed me that you... aren't the son of the person I thought of," Aang told him as Kang lightly quaked, the Avatar approaching him.
"But... after the event with Yakone, I wouldn't be surprised if she lied to protect you," Aang coldly told the Mad Inventor, his heart skipping a beat as the Avatar unleashed a howling gale from his palm, launching Sky back, but the Mercenary poised his blades towards the gale, catching it in his swords as they became imbued with the power of air. Aang loomed over Kang, raising his hands, ready to energy-bend the Mad inventor.
"Avatar!" Sky shouted, catching Aang's attention as Sky twirled his blades, "If you think you're gonna harm a single hair on my client, you've got another thing coming!" Sky proclaimed, pointing a sword at Aang, a vacuum pulling the Avatar in as Sky pulled the Sword back, dragging Aang over to him.
"That was Air-bending!" Aang exclaimed as Sky smirked.
"You got that right!" Sky smugly replied, swinging a sword at Aang as the Avatar swiftly pulled out a staff from behind his back, clashing weapons with the mercenary.
The two pushed each other back, Aang poising his staff whilst Sky confidently twirled his rune swords.
"Recognise these at all Avatar?" Sky asked as he twirled the swords, the faint ringing of the metal pervading Aang's mind.
"From a long time ago perhaps..." Aang coldly replied, swinging his staff and unleashing a slashed of air, but Sky swiped his swords down, summoning a wall of wind, blocking the Avatar's attack.
The Mercenary leapt over his wind wall, diving in at the Avatar as he poised his staff to the side, punching up a small boulder, but sky clanged his swords against it, the boulder turning to dust as Sky landed, swiftly kicking out and knocking Aang back.
"Two down, two to go," Sky muttered, raising his swords to Aang, "Come on," Sky taunted him, shaking his sword whilst smugly grinning.
Aang and Sky clashed weapons once again, Kang watching from the entrance of Lin's Ironworks whilst the clanging of their swords and staff reverberated around the streets, ostrich-horse carts stopping as the two fought, citizens gathering around.
Aang bent a razor sheen of water out from a satchel under his robe, firing it at Sky as he rolled to the side, sticking a sword out to the water as it splashed down on the ground, his swords becoming imbued with the power of water.
"Hey, Kang! Lend me some fire!" Sky shouted, Aang's eyebrow quizzically raising as Kang launched a Fireball at Sky, the Mercenary raising his swords to it, snuffing it out as his swords became imbued with the power of fire.
"Now we're talking," Sky proclaimed, his eyes turning a pale white as he turned to Aang, "Let's dance, Avatar!" Sky taunted him, raising his glowing rune swords to Aang.
"As you wish," Aang coldly replied, his eyes and tattoos glowing as he crouched in his stance.
Sky slashed out with his swords, unleashing slashes of all four elements, but Aang raised a mighty earthen wall, blocking the attack as Sky turned to Kang.
"Hey, Kang, get your shopping done whilst I handle this guy," Sky nonchalantly told him, Kang nodding and heading into Lin's Ironworks. The ground quaked as Fire roared and wind howled outside.
"Hello?" Kang called out, the foundations of the building shaking as Aang and Sky duelled outside. A man in a black tank top and welding mask walked out onto the front desk, flipping his mask up as he looked out the window.
"Avatar fight... not something you see every day," The man muttered, looking to Kang as the Mad inventor quizzically looked to him.
"Can I help you?" The man asked as Kang nodded, pulling out a list of items and handing it to the man, affirmatively humming as he read the list in his head.
"Be right back!" The man replied as Kang turned around, watching the battle rage on.
Sky jammed his swords into the ground, unleashing two monolithic blades into the air as Aang jumped and pirouetted away from them, slamming his staff down and unleashing a mighty gale of air. Sky deftly spun away from the gale, slashing out a crimson wave of fire, swiftly followed by a cross slash of air, but the Avatar blew them away, standing strong against Sky.
The Mercenary ducked behind one of his monoliths as Aang leapt around, intending to strike, but Sky had seemingly vanished, The Avatar's heart skipping a beat as he looked around.
"Looking for me?" Sky asked, the Avatar twisting around to see Sky stood behind him.
The Mercenary mercilessly kicked Aang's back, directly striking his scar as the memories of the Crystal Catacombs returned. Aang dropped from the Avatar state, shaking his head as he stood up, glaring at Sky.
"I'll protect this city from him! No matter what!" Aang proclaimed, taking a deep breath before leaping back onto the rooftops, fleeing to rest and recover.
Kang walked out of Lin's Ironworks, seeing Aang had left whilst Sky stood victorious, his eyes returning to their normal grey.
"Did you win?" Kang asked as he looked around.
"In a sense," Sky replied, sheathing his swords as he looked to Kang, "Did you get everything you need?" Sky asked, rolling his neck and brushing his arms down as Kang nodded.
"Indeed! Let's return so I can get started!" Kang replied, the two quickly returning to the bunker to begin work on its renovation.
Kang worked day and night over the months, whilst Sky played his flute, the tunes keeping Kang focused on his work as he improved on the ladder, occasionally sneaking off into the City with a hood over his head to gather supplies and equipment. Kang and Sky stood in the dimly lit bunker, standing behind a glass shield whilst a large glass bottle stood atop a plinth.
"So... let me get this straight," Sky spoke aloud, his arms crossed as he turned to Kang, "You're going to shoot lightning at that bottle... and its gonna stay in there?" Sky asked as Kang nodded.
"Indeed!" Kang confidently replied as he hesitantly chuckled, "Although there's a good chance it'll just blow it up, but hey!" Kang added as he began swishing his arms around.
"Wouldn't be the first time," Sky muttered, stepping back as electricity surged around Kang's body, cascading off the room whilst Sky worryingly looked around.
"Are you sure you're not overdoing it?" Sky asked as Kang grinned.
"Sky, my friend, there's no such thing!" Kang eagerly replied, shooting the lightning at the bottle's opening, the electricity surged around in the glass as it ejected from Kang's fingertips. The electricity bounced off the glassy interior as the Mad inventor recklessly leapt over to it, putting a cork on the opening and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Wow... you did it," Sky numbly exclaimed as Kang held the bottled lightning in his hands, giddily grinning at as he did.
"Yes! Yes, I did!" Kang replied, his giddiness surging over his body as he hopped over towards the wall, flipping open a metal panel to reveal an entry point big enough for the bottle.
"This is going to power the bunker for years! Decades even!" Kang exclaimed as he pulled the cork off, swiftly jamming the glass bottle into the entry point.
The electricity surged into the entry point as the lights above them lit up, radiantly illuminating the room.
"We have power!" Kang proclaimed, pumping his fists in the air as he turned to a metal door where the ladder used to be, pressing a button on the doorway as the metal door slid open.
"And even this works!" Kang giddily exclaimed, rubbing his hands as Sky let out a sigh of relief.
"Good... because we were running low on food," Sky told him as he strode over to Kang, the two stepping into the Elevator.
"Then let's celebrate!" Kang enthusiastically told him as the door closed, the small room ascending upwards, both Kang and Sky fell to the floor, their stomachs churning as they clasped their guts.
"Is that meant to happen?" Sky woozily asked as Kang shuddered.
"A sudden jerk upwards can do that, so yes," Kang nonchalantly replied as the two stood back up, revealing the pallet to them.
Sky and Kang grabbed ahold of the pallet, pushing it aside as they stepped out into the building, quickly covering the metal door back up.
"Let's go!" Kang told him as he raced out into the Derelict Estate, Sky quickly following behind.
Zu and Li looked out their window, seeing Kang giddily sprint pass, the two walking out into the Derelict Estate and looking at Kang.
"Buddy!" Zu shouted, catching Kang's attention as he raced over to the Giant.
"Hi, Zu!" Kang greeted him as he swayed side-to-side.
"Where's Sky?" Zu asked as he looked around, seeing the mercenary catch up to them.
"Right here!" Sky greeted them, looking at Kang as he let out a sharp sigh, "This guy's quicker than a Deer-dog," Sky exaggerated, pointing to the Mad inventor as Zu and Li chuckled.
"What's got you so... giddy?" Li asked as Kang looked to the bunker.
"I've been working on the bunker!" Kang told them as Zu and Li looked over to the large house with a raised eyebrow.
"We'll check it out sometime, for now, you go about your business buddy," Zu replied, patting Kang's shoulder as the Mad Inventor and Sky strutted out into the City.
