Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Avatar. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Avatar, Nick, Michael Dante DiMartino, and Bryan Koniezko do.
(Takes place during book one, 1 Day before King of Omashu.)
(Earth Kingdom Army Base.)
"Push them back, push them back to the last li-Ah!"
The Earth army private said before a bolt of fire hit him in the chest and wounded him as he fell to his knees. Around him, dozens of Fire Nation soldiers and Earth Kingdom soldiers battled but it was becoming clear that the Fire nation soldiers had the advantage as a round of artillery battered the Earth soldiers back. Fire Nation spearmen and swordsmen with shields as Hao looked down with a squad of his best soldiers as he watched from the cliff.
"Their front lines are crumbling, should we continue to keep pushing through them and crush them?" One of the soldiers asked as Hao scanned the battlefield with his eyes.
"No, continue to keep the men on their defensive line, we can't push forward or they will regroup and flank us, continue to bombard them with the artillery and prepare the light tanks for the defensive line." The soldiers nodded and ran off to carry out their General's orders.
"Where's their general, he shouldn't be hiding behind his men from what I heard…. Guess I should personally enter the battlefield myself…." Hao whispered as she leaped down as he used their armor to slow down sliding down the cliff as he began to march towards the front lines.
"GENERAL, DON'T! IT'S UNSAFE FOR YOU-…" Hao cut the soldier off with a glare as he marched through his men before launching a wave of fire that burnt waves of infantry soldiers who couldn't bend and injured them.
"Where is General Fong? I know his soldiers due to the light green of your armor! Where is your commander?" Hao was answered by a wave of Earth which the 15-year-old general flipped away from it.
"We aren't telling you anything, kid!" Hao fired a ray of fire and wounded the man saying that before cracking his neck.
"Fine, artillery…. Clear me some room." The trebuchets fired and the men constructed an earth dome before the burning fireballs smashed through it.
"Men, mop up what's left, I'll handle their commander."
Hao sprinted towards the wave of Earth Kingdom soldiers before leaping into the air as he kicked a wave of fire which the Earth bender soldiers which they attempted to block only to realize the flames were aimed at their feet as they collapsed in pain. The wave of Fire bender, infantrymen with spears and swords and Tundra Tank attacked the scattered men as Hao landed and kicked a spearman to the side before flipping an Earth Bender who was within arm's reach onto the ground as Hao looked around the rest of the base.
"Where are you, General?" Hao asked as he walked further into the slowly burning base as he scanned it for anything he could use to track the general down as he neared what he could guess was the command tent as 2 Earth Bending soldiers launched a stream of boulders at him. Hao ducked before launching a stream of fire at them with a wave of his hand which they blocked with their helmets.
"Ok, let's see you block this then."
Hao drew back his arm sparks from Hao's hand appeared and danced electric blew.
"What's he-ah!" The soldiers were blown to the side as a bolt of lightning hit them dead on and tossed them to the ground as Hao blew the smoke on his handoff.
"I'll have to thank the old man for teaching me that…. Now then, Fong would have had to leave something if he isn't here at the moment." Hao said as he looked around the command tent for a clue where the Earth Kingdom General had run off to as his soldiers battled the crumbling Earth Army.
"Hmm, nothing's here." Hao sensed someone was behind him as he turned to see an Earth Bender preparing to fire a boulder at him before he was slammed into by a bird.
"Razor Beak! What are you doing here, buddy?" The Messenger hawk dropped a book on the man's face, knocking him out before he lifted it and flew it to his owner.
"Fong's journal, good work, buddy. Let's take this back to the camp and see if anything is in it."
Hao walked out of the tent as Hao could see dozens of Earth Kingdom soldiers either retreating or being captured by his troops as he handed the book to one of his soldiers as he walked by.
"Bring that to the command tent and let Major Yan see it." The Fire Bender saluted and ran off as Hao turned to his pet.
"Go rest, buddy, you're going to need it. I'll feed you when we get back to camp." The Messenger hawk spread his wings before flying off to the command tent as Hao looked around at the damaged army base.
"Don't kill any of them, we could still use them…. And you know how I handle things."
Hao said to a squad of Fire Bending soldiers as they walked by with two non- bending Earth Soldiers as he began his walk back to the camp as dozens of his men began to search and take over the now seized army base as Hao looked up at Razor Beak as the massager hawk.
"Change is coming…. And we won't be ready for it…"
