You know the story... I don't own Avatar, Viacom, Squaresoft/Square-enix, whatever... Now t'is time for orders of the great Organization Lupuz. Special thanks to ARTEMIS FOWL DOLLIE, for first review...
ACT III
SETTING: Few day's later. Early morning with in the Organization Lupuz encampment. Six Warrior Class soldiers stand at attention in front the Elite Class stand at attention as Uingu walks out in front to announce the plans.
UINGU - Soldiers of the Organization…Do you know why you have been called here?
WARRIORS (In unison)- No, sir.
UINGU - If you remember the Puzul Incident then you should have a good background…In Yuili, we have gotten reports of Rebel forces moving threw the area and using it…
ZAKKU (Whispers quietly to Kinseu)- Who's Puzul?
KINSEU (Quiet shush)- Do you want to get caught talking…
UINGU (Continuing as if undisturbed)- …As loyal soldiers of the Empire, we can not allow such treason to be allowed. Thus, we must attack these rebels quickly and precisely… Kanani will divide you among the Elites heading out; Himself, Shara, and Xizzen. (Uingu turns allowing Kanani to step forward)
KANANI - As Uingu said, I shall divide you between teams of three the, one Elite and two Warriors. Shara will be leading, Xir, and Zeuri to cause a distraction. Xizzen along with Zeel and Balzer shall assassinate the leaders their. I shall be leading Zakku and Kinseu to gather intell and if needed, move in to the flank of the enemy. Yuili is located in the hills of the Fire Nation and is, for the most part, isolated. However, this isolation doesn't mean that we should ignore the severity of what has occurred. It has close proximity to the capital and, more importantly, to the Fire Lord, himself. As our sworn duty, we can not allow these rebels to have any remote chance of victory. Such chance would only encourage and strengthen our enemy. The Organization, is not prepare to fight the rebellion if it were to grow in any more size. The information that we gather today could prove valuable do to this one, key information that we uncovered from one of our agents. Puzul is located near Yuili… For you three, (Points to Zakku, Zeuri and Balzer) Puzul is a traitor to the Organization and nothing more…(Kanani's eyes betray him, showing a slight agonizing feeling that he felt saying the words) As all rebels, they must be treated as what they are; Traitors, and anarchists, willing to bring down the great empire. Now… arrange as instructed and further information on your jobs will be given to you by your Elite commanders. (The six Warrior Soldiers divide as instructed. Zakku remains by Kinseu as Kanani walks up to them.)
KINSEU - GREAT Speech Kanani! I was moved!
KANANU - Please Kinseu, don't make me regret ever recommending you for Captain status…
ZAKKU - So…this is the end of Pre-training? (Kanani glances to Zakku)
KANANI - Yes…This will be your first taste of 'real' combat.
KINSEU - Not true… (Kanani looks surprised slightly as Kinseu)
KANANI (Confused; annoyed)- …What did you do, Kinseu…
KINSEU - Nothing that didn't need to happen…
KANANI - You got him into a fight….Didn't you…
KINSEU (Innocent) No…
ZAKKU - Yes.
KINSEU - Who you going to believe? (Kanani glances from Zakku to Kinseu)
KANANI -Hum… I'm leaning toward Zak.
KINSEU - Son of a bit…
KANANI - Don't take it personal Kinseu…You are just not believable…
KINSEU - Thanks…(Kinseu looks away for a moment)
KANANI (Laughs)- Calm down, Kinseu…
ZAKKU - Kanani…I asked Kinseu…who is Puzul.
(Kinseu and Kanani stare at Zakku for a long moment. They say nothing as Kinseu pats Kanani's shoulder.)
KINSEU - Tell him, before he tells him…(Kinseu walks off alone down the hall.)
(Zakku watches Kinseu for a moment and then turns his attention back to Kanani.)
KANANI - Zakku…walk with me… (Kanani walks a few steps as Zakku follows him. Kanani is silent for a long moment as he walks down one of the halls into a more reclusive area were less people are.)
KANANI (Quietly)- Zak, you need to understand that the Organization was made to defend the Empire from those who speak against it…(Zakku nods)…but, not every person a part of the Organization believe it…That's why I tell you everyday, never lose the pride of being a member of Lupuz, never give up…Puzul was once a part of the Organization…
ZAKKU (Questioning)- Once?
KANANI (Nods)- Yes, Puzul was a soldier (Pauses for a long moment which makes Zakku show a confused look) …an Elite Class soldier…One of the best Firebenders in the entire Organizations…most of the veteran soldiers don't like talking about it. Puzul was like a father to anyone and everyone. He was like you…A lot like you…
ZAKKU - Really?
KANANI (Nods)- Really. He left the Organization, and with him, half of the group…That's what started this war…
ZAKKU (Rubs chin)- So…Puzul started the rebellion…
KANANI (Nods)- Yes, those who left were some of Puzul's and Chizen's friends…
ZAKKU -Chizen?
KANANI -…A Reg… Who along with Puzul created a Coalition of Generals… whom we do not know the names of and have been resisting the will of the Empire.
ZAKKU - How?
KANANI - Puzul believes that he is doomed to the fate of an Echo…
ZAKKU - An…Echo?
(Kanani is silent for a long moment. He turns seeing Shara comes up, her expression unreadable. She glanced from Zakku to Kanani, then repeats.)
SHARA - Kanani, sir. (Salutes) All forces are prepared to go when ordered…(Looks to Zakku; Smiles) Hello Zak…
(Zakku is about to say something, when Kanani stomps on his foot hard, making Zakku yell out in pain as he goes down to rub his foot. Kanani smirks as he looks at Shara.)
KANANI - Please, Shara, don't encourage him…He has enough trouble sticking to the rules without you trying to tempt him…(Shara laughs slightly)
SHARA - I'm glad someone isn't afraid of showing some emotions once in a while…
(Kinseu comes behind Shara, and puts his hand on her shoulder.)
KINSEU - I'm insulted! I thought by now you would see that I am a quiet nice person…(Kinseu grins)
SHARA (Cold)- Remove your hand…or I will show you another way to remove it…(Kinseu doesn't remove his hand)
KINSEU (Flirting)- Come on, Shara…
SHARA - OFF! (Kinseu backs up slightly as he releases Shara's shoulder)
SHARA - Kanani, why don't you step on Kinseu's feet?
KANANI - Bacause, I'm not worried that Kinseu will accidentally impregnate someone… (Do to Kanani's blunt honesties, everyone is quiet as Zakku looks at Kanani scratching his head as if wanting to say something but can't do to embarrassment.)
KINSEU (Laughs)- HAHA! Zak! Don't worry…Kanani has you back…Haha! (Kinseu again puts his hand on Shara's shoulder who immediately pouches his side, making him yell out in pain.)
KANANI - Hum… I guess I need to learn to be less blunt…
SHARA - I think you embarrassed him… (Looks at Zakku in an almost flirting manner.)
ZAKKU (Forces a smile)- No…Uh…just…Surprised… (Shara stares at Zakku for a long moment, an uncomforted look is on Kanani's face. He sticks to the dogmatic idea of the conduct permitted and knows the relationship between Zakku, Shara, and Kinseu is in violation.)
KANANI (Clears throat; Gets the teams attention)- Shara, tell Xizzen that all teams are ready…
SHARA (Bows)- Yes sir. (Turns to leave)
KINSEU - Well…That was entertaining… I had no idea that Zak had the power to change colors.
(Zakku punches Kinseu in the shoulder, making him yell again.)
KINSEU - Damnit…Kanani has gotten to you too…
KANANI - You two…You never listen to the rules, do you…
KINSEU - Is this another lecture?
KANANI (Calmly)- No…But I am going to make you two clean the entire mess hall by yourselves, and then you will train without having any food for at least two days…You understand!
KINSEU - Yes, sir.
ZAKKU - Sir…yes, sir.
KANANI - Then lets go…The operations are going to start at sunset. (Kanani begins to walk away as Kinseu closely follows, looking like he is trying to talk to Kanani. Zakku follows quietly. Kanani slows down to walk next to Zakku.)
KANANI - Don't worry, kid… This is you first mission…you will have hundreds more…
ZAKKU - Really?
KANANI - Yes…Remember, protect what matters to you, for if you don't, you will lose what matters most and then you will lose everything…Hold on to your beliefs and you will go far.
