-I love My Job-
Back to the Lair.
Simon: -Heh, Legion, He... hehehe-
Lieth: -Cant you just shut up?-
Simon: -What? It's funny because we're only four-
James: -At least is a cool name though-
Simon: -True, funny but true...(crossing His arms) But something is wrong-
Lieth: -I know... The Chief acceded too easy, According to the rumors, Its hard to believe She believed us-
James Was at the bottom of the warehouse, He had there an old satomobile being repaired by himself.
James: -She did. but we made her warned of a possible new treat (us) So right now She must be... gathering forces to find us-.
Simon: -HA! See? told ya it was a bad idea-.
Lieth: -So what now? In a few hours will be police cars searching all over the city, No matter How or when. They will notice us anytime-.
James: "What now? Step 2..."
Keum Enterprise.
James: "This must be the place"
He looked through the window of the passenger to see a big building with the words 'Keum'. before all 4 of them noticed three... no, four cars aparently from the triads came close by. Not in an agressive pose, but they were ready if it need to.
Simon: "Uh, Its like if they were expecting for us". He sounded a bit nervous
Lieth: "No... If there's a lot of security, Then there is a big fish so it means we're in the right place." She showed a joyfull smile
Simon: "And you're just gonna got out there and kill anyone?".
James: "Not really, close but no. Only if I have to. I'll just go there and have a little conversation with this guy. Lock You're coming with me".
He got out of the car calmly and headed the bulding's entrance. Lock wait more like 30 to 45 minutes, the wait was long since he was waiting if any of the mobsters on ther cars pretended to attack or anything like that. Soon the sound of the door opening called His attention, James Was at the Entrance, to his side a man in a suit. Perhaps that CEO who mentioned before; before he leave he turned to him and said some words, he couldn't hear what but then both shooked hands smiling. Something just happened.
While James walks to the car ,the mobsters actually stayed in their places and let him get In. He sat on the driver but didn't turned on the engine, he just stood in silence for a second. Lock just turned His head and give him a "so? what happened?" look. The other just said "we have work to do".
Back to the lair, Later.
The night was quiet and the breeze of the ocean keep the sorroundings fresh, the Sounds of the waves make an unique and relaxing music. Both where crafting a table to play pool, Simon was on carpenting and Lieth on the details.
"Why do they take so long?". Simon asked trying to brake the ice.
"Can't tell, but they should be here by less of an hour..."
A sound like if the crates were being moved at the bottom. like someone else was there got Her attention. Simon thought it was a fireferret or another animel there. Lieth got to check up there.
Nothing, The corner was clear as She just let out a sight in relief. but her face got serious when other noise came behind her. She made of her hands two sharped figures with the same paled color of her skin, then She turned violently and tossed them on the floor making a squared figure. She couldn't see it but defenetly could feel It's prescence. "Show yourself, I mean no hurting anybody... yet". Then a floating figure faded in at the center of the four objects thrown before, Its form became more easy to see. Its form was of a young child with a monk like outfit, the only different feature was a blue arrow tattoo on her forehead. She definitely showed nervousism at the fact that she couldn't move. Lieth's devices created an invisible force field which kept the spectre paralized.
Lieth: "Well, didn't your parents teach you to not haunt strangers? Then let me tell you that such attitude of yours is rude And I can't let it happen, sweetie. But now I do not need to hurt you." Then She thought out loud "Simon is gonna love this..." And a yell let out: "Oi, Wanker! come here and look at this!".
"Going.. jeez." He was on His way at where She was, he headed to her and speaked: "Hope is something good dude couse I almost finished My part, and you haven't..." He stoped complaining when he saw a floating Girl with a fear look and Its body not moving.
Simon: "Oh crap! Did you just capture a ghost? It doesn't look that scary Honestly..."
Lieth: "Is not a ghots, dumb, It's a person but in a different... state"
Simon: "Wha? They can do t-that shit too?
Lieth: "Think so, they somehow have learned How to manipulate their essence out of their body and even projecting it... FASCINATING!".
Simon: "Soooo are you just gonna let her stay like that until the guys came back? at least we can let her talk?
Lieth: "I dont know for sure, Dont really like interrogating, Even if I'm good at it. She is just a... Ah, fuck it, just a few words and if anything goes wrong then is on you."
Simon: "Got it. Wait, what?".
She turned to the Girl. She narrowed her eyes and manipualted her devices to low their intensity, giving the indicación to let her use her words.
She turned to the Girl. She narrowed her eyes and manipualted her devices to low their intensity, giving the indicación to let her use her words.
As soon as she could speak, as soon as she shot to kill ... literally.
"Let me out of here, you monsters!. let me free or soon the police will come and take you down!". She demanded in a not-very-sure tone.
Simon lifted his eyebrows surprised since he never witnesed a treath from a such young girl... definitively this place was odd as hell. Lieth, on ther side was battling the headache that those angry yells produced, placing her fingers on her temples.
Simon: "Alright, just chill out! we haven't done nothing yet. My friend here is just upset because she doesn't like to be spied, that's all."
Lieth: "None likes that, dumbass. We can't let her pass just like that without freaking out. You do know there are laws, right?".
Simon: "Ok, fine. Jeez, you have some real issues. lets just keep where we were at, would ya?"
Lieth: "..."
Simon: "Thanks. Now..." He turned to the girl now bored from the previous discusion "...Who are you and Why did you spy on us?". He asked slow and very comprehensive tone
Instead of an altered tone, she took a deep breath and got calmed. "I'm Jinora, and I was just searching for a friend of mine".
Lieth: "Lier, Even for an Air master, If that was truth then why didn't You just search him or her by yourself?."
Jinora: "How did you... oh".
Simon: "That arrow on your head? Duuh".
Jinora: "Then who are you and what are you gonna do to me?".
Lieth: "For now Let's just say we are not your enemies and we'll wait for a friend to came back". She answered while turned and walked back to her bussines with Simon.
Jinora: "You know they are gonna find me soon because I haven't Turned back do you?".
Lieth stoped but didn't look back, instead smirked and said: "Don't worry sweetie, My tech send a signal where your phisical body is, I presume the air temple. Which made it fall in a deep sleep. now shut up and get comfy till our friend comes around, please?". and they walked away
Simon(whispering): "You sure James will take this without loosing it?"
Lieth: "Meh, She'll be fine. What could go wrong?".
Simon: "Oh ok... Talking about it, Why are they taking so long?".
Downtown, Triad's old HQ.
Our two heroes ended up in an restaurant. pretty obvious it was just a mask for the place.
James: "...Look, Some bussines man was searching for a new bodyguard. but to gain that job I need to do a test; Some of the Mafia guys are trying to turn where is his bulding into Agni Kai's territory. We'll get in, knock them out and get out".
Lock looked outside of the car where the place was. A few guards outside the door and a couple of cars there. Hell was about to be unleashed. The two get out of the car and walked to the place, the guards noticed them and blocked the entrance.
James: "Move your asses... or else".
both mobs stared at each other and started to laugh and made fun of them aswell. James just let a long sight and gave Lock a signal.
Inside of the place was a restaurant like any normal places should be. The difference is that it was full of gangsters all over the place. Everyone stoped their conversations when outside of the entrance door a couple of loud hits sounded... then a brief moment of silence came and finally the door came down with both guards flying inside and falling knocked out. Then Both James and Lock came in, all eyes on them.
James:"Alright. Which one of you bitches, knows where is the owner!?".
None talked. except for the sarcastic claps on the bottom. It was no one else than Shady Shin and Two toed Ping.
Shady: "Well, look at that. Isn't that the punk who fucked up my nose?"
James: "You should be thankful I fixed that ugly face of yours. now stand aside and let me talk to your boss."
Shady:"...and now he wants to give orders! You really want to play with the big guys. Look pal, just turn around and go where u came from and I'll forgett this missunderstood."
That was it, Lock only turned his eyes to his old friend waiting, and it was the time to show The legion was about to take their first place.
(Jame's POV)
35 people, including those two clowns at the bottom. at least 15 to 17 firebenders, four earthbenders and there's more possibilities that the rest are non-benders.
"30 seconds". I muttered, Lock already recongnized my tone, we both new whats going to happen.
silence was on it's edge, the wind was full of cigar's smoke.
Shady: "Then how is it gonna be, you pr...?"
The waterbender almost ended his speaking, but a red blast on his face interrupted him and all of his nose was gone. falling down from his chair, Ping jumped from his and gave the order to attack. Fire, rocks and some bottles flew all over the place, including some random guy who got thrown away because of Lock's massive strenght
I was shooting blasts from my left cibernetic arm, most of those guys didn't know how really to fight back to a new power. Fire bursts, flying rocks and even a guy tried to kick me. "Seriously?" I took him of his collar and throw away, landing on a table. four guys left... well 3, don't know if Shit-shady will get up from that. Honestly its the first time someone gets a shot in the face by me. My friend took the other two last benders and throw one to the wall and the other got a headbutting, ouch. Little Ping knew it was a lost battle. So I knocked him and Shady woke up.
"Where... Is... He?". I asked with my fist ready to rock.
"Upstairs...(ptoo) in his office..." He said between blood and tears... what a bitch.
I was a short way up to the owner's office, one door and we were in. I opened the door and There he was: And old guy, replacement of Zolt.
He was surprised, not shocked, but enought to stay still. I walked towards to his desk and stood there for a few seconds quiet, I look around and picked two glasses and a bottle of high class alcohol. Served the two glasses full and gave him one. After he took his I lifted mine and said: "I run the show now, tell your people they work for me or I'll burn this place in a blink of an eye". He didn't doubt it and acceded, drink of his glass, but a warning came out.
"Our -bussines- are now compromised since a new adversary appeared and already has half of our territory, he took down Viper and this is his neext target, but now that is your problem I have nothing to worry about". He told me like if nothing was wrong.
"Who said that you're fired?, You still workimh, The difference Is that I'm who give the orders now, If I say -jump- you answer -where-, got it? now tell me, who's the new player and what he can do?
They call him Tokuga. The rumors says that his not a bender, but is good on chi-blocking and a swordsman". The oldman told me like if a story was about.
"Non-bender? sounds like a real challenge. but I have not heard of chi-blocking before, but it wont matter, I'll deal with him. Now We'll leave to do other bussines, This place must be clean when we come back." We turned and leave the messy place we created and returned to Keum's. Everything was explained and I got the job. I asked for one favor, wich he accepted. I didn't told him about my other job, instead I told him about letting Lock to be his second bodyguard, he doubed but say yes anyways.
Finally returning to the docks.Everything was better thsn before: I got another job and now downtown was in my domain and a new gang works for me. Now that I have enough resources, maybe it's time for me and my friends to came out of the shadows.
