Chapter 2: Summit

Evening. Temple palace, Shenmue City.

In the streets of Shenmue, there was crowds of people either shopping in the marketplace or dropping off supplies out back of the market itself. Children were kicking a ball with one team heading for the goal of the opposing team, as a girl kicked the ball toward the goal which the goalie was unable to block. A litter of ocelotlynx cubs were in a box being held by an elderly woman who gave sold them to a loving couple for their daughter, as two griffon riders flew in the air over the whole city while a bison flew above them. In a balcony to the Air temple which served now as a palace, a griffon rested asleep with its tail suddenly wagging and eyes opened slowly before standing up on all fours. A sky bison landed down, as the griffon quickly flew and tackled one of the people who jumped off the bison who the griffon recognized its master.

"Down, Suba! Down!" Raiku called out as the griffon licked one last time before getting off of him completely. He patted the griffons head as he looked down a sad look and said. "Not in the mood today, buddy." Suba took a step back as the griffon stared at the faces of his master and friends. "But I'm okay." he reassured the creature as two girls, with one nineteen and the other fifteen wearing red and yellow wing suits

"Korra!" they exclaimed in a hugging embrace

"We were so worried. When we didn't hear anything from Republic city-"

"We're fine, Ikki." Korra assured as her smile faded. "Though, you really caught us at a bad time."

"Among other things." Raiku muttered as a thirteen boy along with an eight year tackled the snow haired airbender. "Good to see you guys, too."

"I was wondering when you show up." the thirteen year old Meelo said. "I'm so close to getting my tats."

Pema soon came in and hugged her nephew. "Me and your uncle were worried sick about you."

"Sorry, Aunt Pema." Raiku replied. "All of us had an... unexpected change happen while we were in Republic city yesterday."

the younger brother Rohan looked at everyone else who had near tired looks on their faces as he looked back at Raiku. "Why does everyone look sad all of a sudden?" he suddenly asked

Raiku ruffled Rohan's hair. "Let's just say we hit a major setback." he said to the eight year old as Tenzin walked down the steps, heading over to them

Tenzin hugged Korra and then Raiku. "Thank goodness you all are safe. What happened? When we tried to contact the island or City hall, we grew concerned."

"Uncle..."

Tenzin noticed the look on his nephew's face and asked. "What is it? What happened back in the city?"

"We need to talk. Inside."

Tenzin led everyone inside the living room of the palace as Korra started to explain what had happened in Republic city. An unknown faction lead an assault on the city, Raiko was dead, and that Hiroshi along with Acaro and a few others stayed behind to hold the line. Mysterious crystals and advanced weaponry had also caught Tenzin's attention as well as dark spirits helping out those who attacked Republic city. The airbending grand master recalled the riots that continued in the four nations had stopped only months ago, and wondered if they were somehow connected with the invasion. Mysterious soldiers, allied with dark spirit invaded Republic city and many would believe this was an act of war itself.

"And that's everything that happened." Korra finished

"I can't believe it." Jinora said. "Our home. It's..."

"I know." Raiku said as he looked at Tenzin. "What do you think of this, uncle?" he asked

Tenzin rubbed the temple of his forehead as he suddenly stood up and said. "This is... this is not what I would suspect. War. And now of all times. Especially with a faction we know nothing about."

Nolun sighed rubbing his neck. "This is a surprise to all of us." he replied. "Makes me wonder if all the other nations are experiecing the same thing we are."

"It would be best to check and know for sure." Mako suggested

"And we also have to check back with the city." Asami added worried about her father

Raiku nodded in agreement. "Good idea. Asami, go ahead and see if there's any word on the city. Aila knows where the radio is." he glanced at Mako as said maiden arrived. "There's another radio in the study linking to the leaders of the four nations. Call and see if anyone having the same trouble we are."

"Follow me Miss Sato." the maiden said as Asami followed her

"Did your brother made it out?"

"Noalok wasn't in the city when the invasion started." Li Mei stated. "Asami told me he was at a Doctors conference in the Northern Water Tribe, so hopefully he's alright."

"Where's Aunt Kya?"

"With Camri and Toruk." Tenzin stated to him. "I assume you're going to tell them about your Uncle."

"Are you sure you want to?"

Raiku sighed as he glanced at Korra. "I have to. I got to be the one to tell them what happened."

"You all must be tired. How about the rest of us get your rest?" Tenzin insisted

"Might as well." Raiku yawned. "We could get ourselves to rest up for an hour or two, before we figured out what to do."

"Plus to give you some time to tell Kya." Korra added. "Especially Camri and Toruk before they get here." she concluded heading to her room

"Uncle, we're home!"

"Too late for that." Raiku muttered. "Might as well get this out in the open before they hear it from anywhere else." he added seeing Tenzin his head as Kya, Camri, and Toruk enter the living room

"Well, well..." Kya trailed off wrapping Raiku into an hugging embrace. "I'm surprised to see you all here."

"Hello, Aunt Kya."

"I never knew you would come here." Toruk suddenly said approaching them. "I figured you would stay in Republic city for a couple of days. With the way the council keeps calling you, I thought you would be there for the rest of your life, cousin."

"Not quite."

"Cousin!" Camri walked over and hugged Raiku, but her smile faded when she saw the look on his face. "What's wrong?"

"I think it's time we told them." Pema whispered to her husband

"Too soon."

"There's something you need to know." Tenzin said to them

"Why? What's going on?" Toruk glanced at Tenzin. "Uncle? Do you know what's going on?"

Kya placed her hands on her nephew's shoulders. "Raiku, I need you to be honest with me. Where is your uncle?"

"You're not going to like this."


Unknown location.

In a dark abandoned alleyway, a mysterious figure walked through the alley and spotted a small light reflecting on his face as he walked to the direction of it. He figure in the alley removed their hood to reveal a dark haired man with golden brown eyes. He also had a scar on the right side of his chin and a scarred eye on his left. His hand laid down on a box with sudden movement inside as a insect screech could be heard. The box showed visible small scratches as a caliber weapon was strapped to his back which held a scope with a purple trim light to show through the barrel.

"What is the pass phrase?" the man in the alley said

"For when anarchy grows, we show up to spread through the world." the hooded man answered

"It is time."

"Have they arrived?"

"They have." the hooded figure stated. "It seems they have escaped Republic city. Just like our master has predicted. The Avatar and her allies will plan to rally our enemies together against us."

"Agreed. This problem must be done quickly and effectively. They must not interfere with our plans."

"I will see to it."

"Has the summit started?"

"Not yet, but soon it will."

"That must not happen. We must deal with this problem before the four nations could unite together against us. These will suffice for the summit if all else fails." the hooded mysterious assailant tapped his hand on a box crate, with the sound of screeching and sudden scratches making itself known inside the box. "For this, proceed with the assassination if luck favors us in our mission."

"It will be done."

"See it to that it does. Only assassinate our primary targets." the hooded and mysterious ordered with authority

"Understood." the dark hair bumped his fist to his chest and said. "For the Order."

the hooded did the same as he bump his fist to his chest and replied. "For the Order. Now go and fortune favor us this day."


Noon. Tai Guon Palace. Shenmue city.

The sound of water turning off was heard in the bathroom, as Raiku stepped out with his a towel covering his waist and his white medium length wet from the water. He dried his head off using a towel as he opened a closet, taking out an orange robe with a hood off and a yellow bicep band putting both on. Raiku also clothed himself in brown pants, which were held in a red sash around his waist and brown boots staring in the mirror to show mostly off his grey eyes and light pale skin. He took out the small box from the nightstand, seeing the betrothal necklace still were it was as a knock was heard on the door. Raiku held the small box in a safe place in a small hole on the right of the nightstand as he headed for the door, opening it up to see Asami dressed in a black and red jumpsuit. Her family company logo on the left and right shoulder as she had a saddened look. Raiku noticed her saddened expression as he placed a gentle touch on her shoulder, showing her a quick look of sympathy.

"Did you get a hold of your dad?" Raiku asked

Asami shook her head and replied. "No, I haven't. Aila said she would let me know on the radio." she then gazed at Raiku. "Korra told me things didn't go when you told Toruk and Camri."

Raiku sighed exasperatedly. "Camri wanted to be alone in her room, so Kya went in to comfort her." he stated now pinching the bridge of his nose. "Toruk and I were caught in a... argument."

Asami quirked her eyebrow, as she placed her hands on her hips. "In other words, you two had a shouting match."

"Pretty much. I'm just giving him some space until he cools off."

"You still remember those weapons my dad confiscated? The ones he gave you before we left the city? Well, I've been taking them apart and putting them back together." Asami asked as Raiku nodded his head. "I think it's time to talked about what kind of technology we're dealing with here."

"What did you find out?"

"When I was studying these crystals that power the weapons, Aye-Aye said he knew what they were." Asami stated. "He called their emphara crystals. They're about to connet with spirit energy when in contact spirit vines. However, they overcharge at a certain amount of shots."

Raiku narrowed his eyes as he showed a serious. "So this is your first thing encountering this kind of technology."

"Precisely. Whoever this Suchong is, I wasn't able to get files from the company. Not even my dad had anything concrete on him." Asami added. "When it came to the weapons from that crate, they take a certain number of shots. With the sub weapons it's sixteen."

"Is there a demonstration on how it works?" Raiku asked

Asami nodded with a smile. "Follow me."

In an abandoned cellar room, the door opened to reveal Asami and Raiku as they entered inside the empty cellar. The confiscated weapons were laid out on the table, along with a few broken vases down on the floor. The double barrel weapon laid beside the other weapon with the drum which held a piece of a spirit vine inside it. Asami took an empty bottle and sat it on the stand, as she handed the small arm weapon while positioning his hand to aim at the sight.

"What is this thing called?"

"From my dad's note inside the crate where these weapons were, a spirit gun. Or pistol which is more preferable." Asami explained as she hooked a mechanism inside the spirit gun. "I kept the safety on the firing mechanism so you can't shoot." she then took the safety off. "Pull on that trigger."

Raiku squeezed the trigger as a quick and small beam shot out of the six-gun, breaking the bottle into pieces. "Whoa."

"Safety's off, you can take a shot." she added clicking the safety back on

Raiku set the six-gun back on the table, as he looked at Asami and asked. "Would this be the type of weapon whoever those people that attacked the city used?"

"Yes, but they seem to be different than the ones we've confiscated two month ago in one of the riots." she stated. "Aside from this, they have dark spirits allying with them and technology not even Future Industries has ever had."

"And we still don't know who the people that attacked Republic city." Raiku muttered under his breath

"Hopefully we get some answers on whoever is doing this."

"Asami, are you still in the cellar room?"

"Still here!" she yelled to her sister-in-law. "We can't take on this unknown army alone by ourselves." Asami added

Raiku nodded. "You're right. As soon as I can get the other nobles here to agree with me on the summit, we need to pull up some allies."

"We could ask Korra to see if her father can help us. Suyin too." Asami suggested. "Her family do lead both of the Water Tribes. Trying asking them."

"But the Fire Nation remains unsure." Raiku said. "I use to get Zuko to agree with me, but since he passed last year I don't think that's possible. I don't know if I can convince Firelord Izumi."

"You have to try."

"What about the Kyoshi warriors? Think we can ask for their help?"

"Only Li Mei could give you that answer."

"So ask away, then." said a female free spirited voice

Raiku and Asami turned around to see Li Mei behind, but in a different appearance. Her brown hair was now wavy and neck length, showing more of her light tan skin. Her bright blue eyes were still natural and she wore something different than what she had on before as Asami and Raiku looked suddenly surprised. She had on tight green pants and a black vest covering her torso along with a short sleeve green shirt. Her fingernails painted a light torquoise green and a bracelet on her left arm. Black tabi shoes that clothed her feet as the kyoshi warrior saw the look of her friend and sister-in-law.

"What?" Li Mei inquired looking slightly confused

"Did you cut off some of your hair?"

"You guys don't like it?"

"No, no. It's quite nice." Asami said to her. "You look really beautiful."

"That's a new look for you."

Li Mei's cheeks flushed. "Oh... thanks, guys. Anyway..." she trailed taking a step forward to Asami and Raiku. "I just called Sui Fee and told her about what happened in Republic city. She said she'll send in a squad to check the situation there." she stated. "Other squads will also check the rest of the four nations if they're having the same kind of trouble we're having."

"Hey, are you guys down..." Bolin trailed off until he saw Li Mei. "Li Mei... you look so beautiful."

"Do you like it?"

"I love it!"

"Romance later, lovebirds." Raiku teased the two. "For now, we have to deal with this summit."

"Sounds good. Maybe they can find out who's responsible." Asami replied

"And Tenzin wanted me to tell you that the summit is tonight."

Raiku blinked. "That was fast. I wonder how he does it."

"Hey is anyone down here?" said the voice of Mako

"We're in here!" Raiku shouted back as Mako and Bolin walked in the cellar

"Get ready. We're heading to the summit tonight."

"Li Mei already told me and..." Raiku trailed off when he noticed Mako wearing a different attire. The outfit consisted of black short sleeve shirt and pants along with brown boots. "Are you wearing my shinobi survival gear?" he asked also noticed a red scarf on Mako's neck

"You don't even use it anymore."

"I thought you let your grandmother keep your mom's scarf."

"This is another."

"From a lucky lady he's been dating."

"Really?" Raiku placed his hands on Mako's shoulders with a wide grin on his face. "Mako as your wingman I say keep her." he said. "And don't mess it up."

"Thanks a lot." Mako replied in sarcasm

Raiku shrugged his shoulders as he had his arm around his shoulder. "What? I was teaching you how to live, buddy. Me and Bolin come to think of it."

"And you said you were a ladiesman."

"Already, enough!" Mako exclaimed as Raiku and Bolin chuckled

"Look who's getting pouty." Raiku said with a smirk, as mako sighed loudly while he went out the cellar room


Night. Wan Shun hall, Shenmue city.

Each clan of the north, south, east, and west air temple cities arrived in Wan Shun hall. The yellow coloured floor of every section, and orange wind emblem on the walls were showed inside the building as the nobles were being greeted. One of the last two to arrive were Thadek along with his son Ryn, and his daughter Guira. All lakogi had white hair, grey eyes, and light pale skin. But there were some who had fair skin, leaving Thadek and his family as one of the few with this difference. The last to enter was Raiku, Tenzin, Nolun, and Korra as they walked inside while they were dressed in formal attire. Nolun moved a strand of hair out of his forehead as he tucked the shirt under his green tuxedo.

"Remind me exactly why I got dragged into this."

Raiku closed his eyes and slightly shrugged as he said. "Pretty much I bring you here so I could take you down with me in case this heads south."

"And to ensure that this summit goes well. We need to convince all of them to agree, even the Ourilo clan." Tenzin stated, muttering the Ourilo clan

"You do realize Thadek hates my guts, right? Him and his son for that matter." Raiku hinted at Tenzin. "I believe he said that him and the rest of his clan think I was a royal mongrul."

"But not Guira." Tenzin said. "Out of all the nobles in the Ourilo clan, she has been able to see more reason than any of them and she's never shown animosity toward you."

"Plus she's not like her father. Not even Ryn."

Raiku looked at Korra, then at Tenzin as he asked. "Wait, how do you two know her?"

"We met her on the council conference last year. Remember?"

"I didn't really notice. Spent the last hours trying to avoid politicians. Irritable, pain-in-the-neck bureaucrats-"

"You do know you're a politician, right?"

Raiku blinked and sighed loudly with Korra quickly giggling as he said. "Can't believe I walked into that one. I hate being a politician."

"You're getting use to it."

Raiku shook his head. "I don't know how you do this, Uncle."

"Years of experience, Raiku. Years of experience." Tenzin replied. "Once you get the hang of it, it becomes more of a cakewalk."

"Besides, you're the bait in case the people that invaded Republic city might attack this summit." Nolun added, as he noticed a fair skinned young woman with long silver hair and grey eyes wearing an orange dress. "And there's Guira."

said person gazed at Korra and bowed for a brief second. "Avatar Korra." she then glanced at Tenzin and Nolun as Guira did the same. "Tenzin. Nolun, I am sorry for your loss." she said in a kind tone, then lastly gazed at Raiku. "Arishiakage. I am pleased you called this summit. When we heard of what happen in Republic city, the rest of four cities began to panic over the news. No doubt the rest of the three nations will find out of this."

Raiku nodded with a straight face and replied. "We need everyone to face whoever this new enemy if we'll all going to win this fight."

"It's about time." said a gruff and boastful voice which irritable Raiku as he spotted Ryn and his father Thadek in formal wear. "That it would take a royal mongrul like you to finally realize a call to action."

Raiku's fist balled behind his back as he narrowed his eyes at Thadek, but directed his attention on Ryn. "Ryn. Thadek."

"Nice to see you and your uncle are finally doing something right for a change." Thadek taunted. "Now, you're getting your head on straight at the last minute. You both have terrible timing."

"Father..." Guira trailed off, staring at her father. "The summit is about to begin."

"Right you are, dear. Now if you'll excuse us..." Thadek and his family inside the meeting room of the summit

"Hating this alright."


While outside, a dark haired and eye scarred man made his way inside an apartment building as he went inside. He walked up the stairs leading to the roof with a briefcase in his hand, as he saw the coast was clear while he crouched down. He opened up the briefcase putting together a rifle, adding a scope to complete the deal as he started to adjust the sight for main target. He took a few steps and went down on one knee, aiming down the sight at the target of his objective.

"Right in my sight." the assassin said setting his sights on the arishiakage

"You want us to ally with the rest of the nations?" said lady Nirori of the Venora of the clan from the east city Niran, as the woman in her late-forties had her hands together

"Yes." Raiku answered. "There is strength in numbers. If this enemy attacked Republic city, they will attack our cities."

"In three hundred years, we have never needed help from any nation." the elder man Brenic of the Tiera clan of the west city Seranos. " Why should we call for aid now?"

"Exactly. We don't need the help of the other nations." Thadek berated. "It shuns our entire nation."

"You are missing the point. Whoever this group is, this army, they are targeting all of us. Every nation since they launched an assault on Republic city." Tenzin debated

"Then take it on faith. We need to ally with others." Raiku reasoned. "And if we don't, everyone last one of us will be picked off with one-by-one or worse."

"What do you suggest?"

Korra took a step forward as she said. "Just hear our plead and agree that you along with the Water Tribes, Fire Nation, and Earth Sovereign must work together."

Ryn scoffed. "And who will lead us in this war? The mongrul?"

"You can't do any better either, long nose." Raiku scowled

Ryn angrily slammed his fists and stood up. "You dare!"

"When we get it through your head that-" Ryn cut the arishiakage off when he walked closer to Raiku

"That what? A noble mongrul like you could-" Raiku stood up as he set a deadly glare at Ryn with his fists slowly balled

"Say that again. I dare you."

"Enough! This isn't the time to hiss at each other like wild lynxocelots. We need to work together in order to-" she was cut off with a quick light struck her

"Guira!"

"Get down!"

All of a sudden, a royal guard was sent flying out landing the meeting table as it cracked in half. Small mechanized spiderscorpions which were half spirit as one of them was on top the unconscious guard's chest, sinking in a liquid inside his body. A gush of wind blew a small pack away, sending them breaking into pieces once they contacted toward a wall. The other pack pounced on the rest of the royal guard, while two lunged at Brenic and Lady Nirori's chest as dark liquid was close enough to inject inside them. Fortunately, a pair of energized dragon claws sliced the spiderscorpion machines in half as the last were burned by Korra using her firebending. In the short skirmish, Thadek held his daughter in his arms.

"Guira! Guira! Someone send for help!" he begged in fear of losing his daughter

"I'll see what I can." said a voice as Kya appeared and began to heal Guira with her waterbending

"Aunt Kya?"

"Toruk told me you were having the summit here. Just glad I got here in time." she said still in the process of healing Guira from the wound she received on her stomach

"How is she?"

"For now, she's unresponsive," Thadek lowered his head down. "fortunately, she's stable. I need to get her to a bed."

Ryn stared down at Kya as he picked up Guira. "Our healers can-"

"Let her come with us." Thadek said

"Father..."

"Please... save her. Save my daughter." Thadek begged with pleading eyes as Kya nodded

"How could have planned this?" Raiku inquired with Guira was being rushed out of the meeting room by her brother and father as Kya followed them.

"Let's just hope Mako and Li Mei found him out who's behind this."


Back in the roof, the assassin dodged the blast of incoming fireballs as Li Mei rushed toward the assassin while avoiding blast from a pistol. She hit two nerve points on the assassin's arm and leg, as they both went limp while Li Mei grabbed his other arm in a gripping hold with her foot on his back. Mako crouched down and stared hard at the assassin as their eyes connected to each other.

"Who sent you? Who do you work for?" the assassin remained silent. "Talk!"

"I would listen to him if I were you." Li Mei added applying pressure on his ribs with her foot on his back. She then notice something move inside the assassin's mouth. "What are you-" she stopped herself as white foam came out of his mouth. "Poison!" she exclaimed as the assassin's eyes were half conscious and his eye sockets turning red, as blood came out of his eyes

"For the Anarchist Order." he said in a dying breath as he fell on the roof floor

Mako and Li Mei ad a look of confusion on their faces as Li Mei inquired. "The Anarchist Order? Who or what is the Anarchist order?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling this is the beginning." Mako said as his eyes were narrowed staring at the corpse of the assassin
