As always, please read, review, and enjoy!


Chapter 4: Puppeteer

Outer Wall, Ba Sing Se.

It has been last night since the Order invaded Ba Sing Se. Its mandate being to find and eliminate any rebel force in the city that would attempt to retake it. The Order's primary objective was to apprehend Lin and Suyin Bei Fong to quell the insurrection in Ba Sing Se. An execution to quiet anyone willing to rebel against them, any means necessary to the Order's cause. They however wasn't expecting an attack from outside the wall, as a few earth boulders hurtling themselves into the wall that guarded the entire city of Ba Sing Se. Men of the Archanist Order sent out a platoon to deal with the remaining Sovereign forces left in Bas Sing Se. They began an operation to track down at the fleeing enemy group before they could rally back to their territory. The platoon had completely cornered the group only for gushes of wind and rock boulders to send them flying away, as their hands were suddenly tied by an sudden green blur. The Order loyalists were taken aback by their capture as the blur that tied them down was revealed to be Toruk.

"Send in the ball." he ordered as one of the men disguised nodded. "Ready." the metalbenders levitated the metal ball in the air. "Aim." the ball was forty feet up in the air. "Fire!" he shouted. The ball was launched ahead of the gated wall of Ba Sing Se

Tenzin appeared beside Toruk and asked. "Think it'll work?"

he shrugged his shoulders as he replied. "This was Uncle Bumi's plan, so we'll have to find out for ourselves."

A large metal ball was launched in the air, heading on a collision course to the Outer Wall as it crashed destroying an over watch post. The ball slowly dispersed as a jeep drove off with four people inside, as a griffon and polarbeardog being rode on by the Avatar and the silver haired arishiakage. A sky bison flew in after the impact of the ball made it to inside the outer wall as it headed east undetected, leaving all three to be completely out of sight. In the jeep were Mako, Bolin, Asami and Li Mei with the trained Kyoshi warrior motioned her hand for them to split up while on the run as three jeeps followed behind them.

"Think they'll be okay?"

"We told them to hide in one of the houses on the middle ring."

"Isn't that where the Order is patrolling that area?"

"Most of them are guarding the palace." Li Mei stated. "We would just have to get there by nightfall. That's when the patrol shifts."

A fireball hurtled at Korra and Raiku, as Naga moved left away from it. "We got company." Raiku shot a gush of wind at one of the patrol jeeps as it was sent flying into a river

"So do we. Just meet us in the middle ring." Li Mei replied, with Raiku and Korra hearing the commotion of fighting on the other line

"Will do." Korra replied on the radio. "You guys watch yourselves in the meanwhile. We'll meet at the checkpoint in the middle ring."

"I should've brought Suba with me this time." Raiku said, dodging fire from two patrols with spirit weapons

"Doesn't he usually follow you anyway?"

"True enough."

A soaring figure with wings tackled at the jeep as it crashed to the right, with a anarchist being tossed on the road. Another patrol showed up, firing at the attacking griffon as he turned port and down to grab an anarchist with its forelegs and was thrown into the air colliding to another. Korra formed a fist and lift it in the air as an earth column launched the jeeps, sending them into the river while the griffon made the last jeep crashed down toward a boulder. Naga stopped when the griffon pounced on Raiku, licking him with its mouth as the arishiakage was pushing its head from licking him while Korra covered her mouth when she laughed. The friendly griffon was none other than Raiku's pet and companion, Suba.

"Okay, okay." Raiku exclaimed as he patted the griffons head. "You're a life saver, buddy."

Korra helped Raiku up the ground. "Think Li Mei and the others are doing okay?"

"Yeah. They should be okay."


Inner ring, Ba Sing Se.

"Turn left! No, right!"

"Would you please make up your MIND?!" Li Mei snapped taking a turn on the left to avoid weapon fire

"Sorry. The next time I try to get us out of their sight, I would be sure to get my mind clear in the middle of an attack!" Mako said in sarcastic tone

"It only works if I'm the smart mouth." Li Mei countered back as she kicked a anarchist off the jeep

"No it doesn't."

"Yes it does."

"THE ROAD!" Asami shouted to them

"I see it!" Li Mei exclaimed making a left turn over by a bridge, after avoiding a blast from a spirit weapon. "I'll say this, this anarchists aren't playing around with this whole world domination thing."

"Why do we always encounter the worst kind of bad guy?! We've met equalists, Red Lotus, Earth Empire loyalists. Now these guys. And they have spirit mech monsters! How are these guys doing this?!"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Mako said launching a fireball at an dark earth spirit

The dark earth spirit roared, hurtling boulders of earth and rock at the jeep as a truck carrying anarchists arrived. Li Mei drove the jeep and take a short cut by the overpass as she turned right, while Mako and Bolin hurtled rock and fireball at the dark earth spirit and transport truck. A spiderscorpion mech jumped on the hood of the jeep as it crawled forward close to Li Mei, until Asami grabbed it by its tail and electrified the small mech and tossed it onto the road. The dark earth spirit brought out a stone wall as Bolin split it in half, before summoning lava to have the dark spirit stopped in its track until it dug itself underground. Another jeep rushed them in as an anarchist jumped ahead the side door before Asami shocked him and kicked the anarchist back to the other jeep before it crashed near a boulder.

"Well, we lost that dark spirit." Mako ducked Bolin's head down as a spirit weapon was fired at them. "But we have the welcome committee to greet us."

"For now." Asami said getting on the hood of the jeep. "One of you take the wheel. Li Mei and me are going to deal with that truck. See if there's anything "

"You really think we can distract that spirit until you find something useful in that anarchist truck?" Bolin inquired

"You two got it covered." Li Mei replied as Mako took the wheel, getting on the hood of the jeep with Asami. "Just make sure you stay on the path and try to avoid that earth spirit on our tail. Stall it if you have to."

"How are we suppose to do that?"

Li Mei smirked. "You'll figure it out." she said as her and Asami jumped on the back of the truck as anarchists spotted them. "Shall we do the honors?" she inquired with a smirk on her face, with a couple of anarchists being kicked off the truck

"Well they got things covered." Bolin joked nervously as him and Mako heard a monstrous roar from behind. "Please tell me that was your stomach."

Mako looked back to see a dark earth spirit chasing after them. "It's our friend."

"Where's Aye-Aye and Hop-Hop when you need them?!" Bolin shouted as a boulder hurtled at them before the earthbender countered by having an earth wall to block the impact

"We can handle this." Mako assured taking a left turn. "All we need do is find a way to lose that thing."

The dark earth spirit roared loudly, prowling on all fours as it began to continue in its relentless chase against Mako and Bolin. It dug down underground as Mako looked left and right for any sign of the creature, trying to figure out where it would strike him and Bolin before he looked behind to felt rumbling. The earth spirit dug out its head as Mako launched a ball of fire to gain its attention, while Bolin a slope of rock to land the jeep on the road before taking a quick right turn. Back on the transport truck, Li Mei kicked and tossed the last remaining anarchists out of truck while Asami kicked the driver out and took control of the truck as it approached a bridge. A blast of spirit energy struck the bridge, taking half of it leaving Asami to turn around.

"Based on our luck," Li Mei crawled into the passenger seat of the truck. "Do you think us or Mako and Bolin have it worse right now?"

"They probably don't have it worse than we do."

"We definitely have it worse than Asami and Li Mei." Bolin said launching columns of rock at the dark spirit chasing them

"All we do to find a way to give this spirit the slip."

"How are we going to do that?"

Mako pointed over to a canyon on the left. "On my signal I want you to lavaband that small canyon left of us. I'll distract it long enough for you to do what you need to do."

"Ready when you are."

"Hold on!"

Mako stomped on the gas pedal as the jeep sped up, with the dark earth spirit still following them in the chase. It hurtled boulders of earth at the jeep as Mako drove left and right to avoid and outmaneuver the incoming rocks, while he shot a flaming bolt of fire at the spirit.

"Now!"

Bolin focused and concentrated as it brought out molten rock, heading its way over to the nearby canyon. The molten lava melted the bottom side of the canyon as it began to collide down, cutting the dark spirit from its path with molten fire surrounding a couple of miles out from the canyon. Mako and Bolin heard noises as a spirit weapon fired their way, only for it to be rammed from behind by another before spiriling down into the road. They looked over to see Asami and Li Mei driving the enemy truck, as Asami jumped on the back seat of the jeep while Li Mei drove. Li Mei kept the wheel steady while she slowly stood out, with her hand almost off the wheel before she leaped out of the truck as Asami caught her in time. They both got in the back seat of the jeep as Mako drove off, heading straight into the inner ring of Ba Sing Se that was a few miles out.

"So, how was things on your end?" Li Mei suddenly asked breaking the silence

"Oh, you know. Risking our lives in certain and impending danger." Bolin said nonchalantly in a nervous tone. "You?"

"Same here." Li Mei spotted they were close to the inner ring section of Ba Sing Se in just a mile away. "Looks like we're approaching the city."

"We'll have to ditch the jeep somewhere else once we head into the city."

"And a change of clothes." Asami added. "May have to stay incognito while we're in so the Order doesn't know we're here."

"I agree." Li Mei said in agreement. "We disguse ourselves once inside, regroup with Korra and Raiku, and then head over to the middle ring. That's where the resistance is located, pretty much where Su and Lin are."

"And heading the resistance in the city."

"Think they got here before us?"

"If they did, they'll meet us in the middle ring tonight." Asami replied as they entered the inner ring of Ba Sing Se

They drove to the slums of the city, finding the slums occupied by anarchist enforcing their rule over the citizens of Ba Sing Se. The jeep took a left turn to a dead end at an alleyway as everyone got out, before finding clothes hanging on a fire escape. They took the clothes off of the rack as Mako and Bolin had on some hoods while Asami and Li Mei had hoods with cloaks on them. Mako and Li Mei made sure that the coast was clear, before Bolin and Asami followed them out of the alley. They walked through the slums with their heads down when close to any anarchists patrolling the area, making their way over to the train station as they spotted a citizen being harassed by three anarchists.

"Unbelievable." Asami said in disgust

"This is just..." Li Mei muttered with distaste

"Pure anarchy." Bolin said siting down before the train began to head toward its next destination after the anarchists left. "No pun indeed, of course."

"Let's just head to the Middle ring." Mako said. "The resistance has their HQ at a guest house mansion six miles away from the palace." he stared at the photo of a woman in orange and black. Silky white hair and beautiful grey eyes.

Asami glanced at the photo Mako held in his hand. "Is that her?"

"That's Yuma. She's a working agent in the Nations council." he stated. "We haven't got to the whole dating thing yet. Right now it's been long distance so far, which does never end well like all dates."

"How long have you two been dating?" Asami asked

"This would be the fourth week. She was traveling with a co-worker of hers in capital city while they were in the Fire Nation." Mako looked down and put the picture back in his pocket. "I hope she's alright."

"I'm sure she is." Asami reassured with a smile. "You'll see her again. It seems you're real lucky to have someone like her."

Mako smiled back at her. "Thanks. I pretty much owe it to Raiku. He's the reason I met her in the first place. He's a good wingman."

"Better than you?"

Mako chucked. "Better than me. Before the whole war started, I told her when she came back we should go to Ba Sing Se."

"What made you come up with that idea?"

Mako's smile suddenly faded. "It was one of the places Saia vacated in."

Asami's smile began to fade away. Recalling the death of Raiku's mother, Saia. "I can't believe it's been five years since her death."

"Same here." Mako replied. "I wonder if Raiku will be alright being back here after what happened to her. I hope he'll be alright, for his sake."

Asami nodded. "Me too."


Middle ring, Ba Sing Se.

An anarchist patrol circled the perimeter before heading out. "The middle ring is clear, command. Rendezvous back to HQ."

"Understood, 81st . Head back the palace for reassignment."

"Copy that."

"They're gone."

"Resistance should be a few blocks ahead." Li Mei stated to them. "In the Ty Mau mansion north of us."

The group head over to a dark alleyway, with Mako lighting his hand in fire as they saw a light shine in the distance of an abandoned mansion all of a sudden. They follow to the direction of where the light came from as the group headed north, the exception of Raiku and Korra not with them at the moment. It has been since this morning they split up, as everyone had no idea whether they arrived at the resistance base or not. The back door of the mansion was opened as a spirit pistol moved left and right, with Mako shining a light before stepping inside in a cautious manner. He motioned his hand to let everyone know the coast was clear as they went inside, with Mako suddenly a quick tap on the shoulder. In retaliation, he was about to spew fire from his hand until another hand grabbed his wrist before finding out it was actually Raiku and Korra.

"Really don't want to alarm the anarchists here, pal."

"Don't seek up on me like that. I could've filet you."

"Hey." Raiku showed his hands for a brief second. "I got quick hands. Which can pretty much stop from starting some fires."

"I take it you two had any problems."

"Same old. Same old. What about you?"

"Other than getting chased by a dark earth spirit, everything went perfectly fine."

"Thought Aye-Aye and Hop-Hop were with you guys."

"Before we even came to Ba Sing Se, they just vanished. Those two must have when the spirit world for some reason."

"It's not like them either. They'd usually let me know if they were leaving."

"In the meantime, Suyin and the others are waiting for us."

They went down to the basement of the mansion, following a dig-in entrance inside. Candle lit lights showed the way forward, as Raiku closed shut the entrance behind them. Korra sent out two knocks on a door nearby, follow by four quick knocks before it opened. A resistance soldier allowed them inside the base while another escorted them to the meeting. There were three people who they knew Suyin, Lin, and Tenzin. The last was a brown haired man in a green shirt and black pants. Dark green eyes and light tanned skin, his name was Harutu. Raiku knew him from his parents when he visited the town, where his late mother and father lived.

"Good. Everyone's here."

Suyin noticed the group stepping forward. "No trouble on your end?" she said

"Nothing we can't handle. We stayed out of sight." Mako replied. "So what's this plan you have cooking up?"

"The plan is simple." Lin stated. Trailing her finger from the catacombs, to the cellar inside the Earth Sovereign. "We use the catacombs to sneak underneath the palace, where it leads up to the cellar. From there, we retake the palace."

"We retake the palace, we retake Ba Sing Se." Harutu concluded. "The only sure way of driving the Anarchist Order out of the city."

"Any idea who's in charge of the Order?"

"Still an unanswered question our recon teams keeps collecting. The namesake we gave for the unknown leader designated: Puppeteer. So far, there are two lieutenants here in Ba Sing Se." Harutu stated as he pulled two folders out. "One of them is a master sandbender," the folder opened to show a picture of a familiar face. Recognized by Korra, Asami, and Li Mei. "And the other is a soundbender whose the leader's right-hand man." he finished showing the photo of a man Raiku recognized five years ago

Asami took a step forward and took the picture. "That's San." she stated

"You crossed paths with him before?"

"We met him while he was meeting an arms dealer by the name of Tavin Yeng." Li Mei stated to Harutu. "We thought Suchong would be involved. But he wasn't involved whatsoever."

"So when do we leave?"

"In about five minutes."

"And here I was planning on getting comfortable." Raiku teasingly joked as Korra kissed him on the cheek

"You may later on. In the meantime, let's get ready." she said


Crystal Catacombs, Ba Sing Se.

The glowing crystals in the catacombs loomed in a green light as Li Mei stood in awe. "What is this place?" she asked

"This is where Aang and Katara were when Azula manage to take control of the Dai Li agents." Korra stated. "We'll split up so we can find the way into the palace cellar."

Li Mei nodded in agreement. "Okay, then. It'll be me, Asami, and Li Mei. You, Mako and Bolin can follow Harutu and see if there's another entrance or exit we can find." she said to Korra as Raiku stared into a blanked expression

Asami noticed and walked toward him. "Raiku. Raiku, are you okay? Raiku." Asami said with the latter not hearing any words she was saying


"Murderer!"

An enraged Raiku launched barrages of air punches at his mother's killer. Lan Du retaliated in spewing fire and firing a bolt of lightning from his fingertips. Raiku made a dash for a boulder on the left as Lan Du launched a fireball.

"You are nothing." he snarled. "A born mongrul found alone by air nomads who speak of peace and harmony. There is no harmony." he shot bolts of lightning as Raiku dodge the incoming attacks. "There is no peace. There is also war and death." Lan Du spew a wave of flames.

"Shut up."

"War and death, fueled by anarchy and chaos will always infect the world."

"Shut up."

"Caused by people like you. Rulers and world leaders who only think for themselves. People like Unalaq who seek nothing but power."

"I said SHUT UP."

"You only deserve death. Death that your mother just receieved for having you as a child!"

Raiku eyes were closed as his tattoos started to glow green. "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" he yelled as his eyes glowed green, sending Lan Du flying back

The snow haired airbender launched a blast of green light at Lan Du, leaving the Red Lotus member barely enough time to evade. Raiku tossed and sent blows of incoming energy at his mother's murderer as he roared in rage. The look on Lan Du was nothing more than shock and anger, over this airbender to suddenly tap into a mysterious form of bending. The Red Lotus member retreated, away from the battle he was having. Hurtling firballs and spewing out flames in retaliation, Lan Du pulled back. Heading over to a nearby cliff showing the back entrance of the catacombs. A searing blast sent the lightningbender flying away, crashing on his back to the floor. He looked up to see the would-be arishiakage, fueled by anger and rage at his opponent.

"This ends now!" he spat loudly shooting a bolt of lightning at Raiku's chest


Raiku closed his eyes remembering the even that transpired in the catacombs. "I've been here before." he said

"You have? How..." Asami paused, until realization of what happened five years ago. "This is where you lost your mother, isn't it?" the snow haired arishiakage did not speak a word as Asami rest her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about-"

"I can still remember it. Her dying in my arms, it was the worst pain I could possibly feel in me. I wish I could forget it all." Raiku started. "As soon as I lost her, I felt a lot of emotions. Most of it was pain, rage, and anger. Maybe if I was fast enough, I might have done something to save her."

"Don't think like that." she said

"Like what?"

"Blaming yourself. You can't change the past, Raiku. You can only change what happens now" Asami stated

"Did it ever crossed your mind on what you would do if you ever crossed paths with Lan Du again?"

"I spent years since the day I was raised in Air temple island, thinking about what kind of people my parents were." Raiku explained. "My father dies giving his life to protect me when I was only a baby, and my mother gets killed from behind by that lunatic."

"All that matter to your parents was you. Your dad gave his life to protect you. Your mother would do the same." Li Mei said to him. "They would go to the ends of the earth to protect you."

Raiku stared back into Asami. "What would you have me do if I ever cross paths with Lan Du again?" he asked

"To not become like him." Asami said to him with a firm tone of genuine concern and worry in her voice. "He was a monster. And I don't want to lose you as my friend. We don't want to lose you, and so does Korra if she ever found out."

"I get it, I get it. Don't become the bad guy." Raiku said while he noticed Korra, Mako, and Harutu walking closer to them. "I don't plan on turning to the dark side."

"Just don't lose yourself on who you are."

"I won't." he promised her

Korra and Mako made their way tot the others."What are you guys talking about?"

"Is this a surprise." said a voice familiar to Korra, Asami and Li. They spotted Bau Jo and the sandbender San. The soundbender now had a bald head and scruffy beard on his face. "The Avatar and her companions have arrived. Along with a few." he added noticing Raiku, Mako, and Bolin

Bau Jo cracked his knuckles. "Indeed they have."

"No where for you two to run."

"Agreed. Though it should be you all running right now." San stated as anarchists wielding spirit rifles and two hooded benders suddenly appeared behind them. "But that remains unlikely." he concluded to the hooded man removed their hoods with a painted eye on their foreheads

"Oh, this is just great." Raiku muttered in sarcasm as they all took cover from a combusting blast from the hooded men, while Raiku deflected it using his combat energybending and Korra launched a fireball at them. "There had to be sparky boom boom men involved. Where are they getting these guys?!"

"Anyone think our odds aren't that well right now?"

"I do. What do we do?"

"Try to survive. That's what we do."

Bao Ju focused on the vibrating air currents around the user, projecting a blast of sound as Raiku ran at great speed grabbing both Bolin and Asami away from the blast. concentrate on the vibrations radiating around them, allowing them to send a powerful wave. gathering water and shaping it into a very tight, high pressure ball before shooting at high velocity which sent Bao Ju flying away. San shattered large stones into sand and fires it at incredible speeds toward his enemies. Mako dispersed small balls of flames and threw them at incredible speeds, hitting the sand snakelizard puppet with little effect. Korra turned into her avatar state, summoning a tidal wave using the water of the catacombs. The combustionbenders fired as the tidal wave formed into a wall surrounding the avatar. Korra sent out a strong push using the tidal wave, trapping the combustionbenders in ice. Asami and Li Mei dealt with the armed anarchists with spirit rifles as they both fired a few shots at a couple.

San coated his body in earth, using his chi to cause earth turning into sand and solidified itself. Bolin and Nolun hurtled boulders at San, only for the rocks phase through the earth covering the sandbender in the process. The sandbender lifted his hands, moving them motionless as Sand puppets were formed behind San. He flicked his wrist as they charged at the earthbenders. Bolin summoned lava from the bottom of the ground, collided heavily toward the sand puppets. Bao Ju sent out a shockwave that dispered the lava and had it hurtling toward Bolin. Leaving Raiku to tackle both him and Nolun away from the impact as Mako shot a fireball at San. The Anarchist sandbender deflected the block by conjuring a solidified sand wall. A stream of water crashed down toward San and Bao Ju as their bodies began to become frozen, with their heads and fingers not covered.

Bao Ju looked straight at his foes. "You will not be ready for when the Harbinger comes." he said usnig soundbending to vibrate the ice surrounding him and San

"What are you talking about? What is this Harbinger?" Raiku demanded

"You shall find out soon enough." Bao Ju replied as San summoning a sandstorm, with both anarchists out of sight

Raiku sighed loudly. "And just like that, they're gone."

Suyin followed by Lin arrived in the catacombs and ran toward the group. "We've taken the palace." she said

"I take it you're going to stay here?"

"Actually, me and Lin are coming along." Suyin stated. "Harutu will take care of things here in Ba Sing Se."

"Sure you want to come along?"

"Kid, you're going to need all the help you can get?"

"Well, fair enough."

"That's great! But there's one thing i'm wondering about. Where did Aye-Aye and Hop-Hop went?"

"You know, I wonder the same thing. Where are they?"


Somewhere in the spirit world

Aye-Aye and Hop-Hop venture ahead in the spirit world, now nearly abandoned and every spirit suddenly out of sight. They traveled down a shelthered path, as Aye-Aye brush aside all the bushes while Hop-Hop continued to follow him with a nearly frightened look on his face. Hop-Hop looked back to make sure they were not followed, leaving both to be on edge as they continued on the path they walked. This small quest was something felt he and Hop-Hop should check into rather than join the Avatar and her friends. Something far more troubling, in fact.

"Are you sure the cairn is here?"

"I am certain of it. I hope that-" the spirit hyena's eye widened when he noticed the cairn in the spirit world was deserted. "Oh no."

"It's abandoned. If the Harbinger isn't here, then that means-"

"The Harbinger's soul has been released and in possession of a body in the real world. This... this does not bold well at all."

"What happened here, Aye-Aye?"

"That remains an unanswered question." the spirit hyena replied grimly. "But whatever happened, it does not bold well at all."


Southern Water Tribe.

Inside the flagship of the Archanist Order, a shadowed figure sat down staring at the window outside as he swirled his left burnt hand. He brought out some bandages and covered the hand along with the arm, while picking up a photo of a beautiful woman cradling a baby daughter into her hands. In the photo, the woman showed an excited smile on her face while holding her child as the father rest his hand on her shoulder in a protective manner with his face hidden in the picture. The photo also showed a man, smiling as he was beside his wife and daughter while she sat down on a craddle chair. The figure set the picture aside as he watched the fall of the South Water Tribe, making his way to a black hooded robe which he clothed himself in when a knock was heard on his door.

"Enter." he said

two Order initiate entered the room and bowed his head in respect. "High Overseer. We have reached the Southern Water Tribe palace."

"Good. I want him alive, initiate."

"For what reason, High Overseer? It would be wise to just destroy him, so the forces here would-"

A hand touched the initiate's face as a bolt of lightning struck him, leaving him to his death after he was fried to a crisp as the other initiate looked at the high overseer in fear.

"Do not question me." he glanced over to the living initiate. "Keep him alive."

"Yes, High Overseer."

The Anarchists attacked the palace of the Southern Water Tribe, using their bending and spirit weapons to plow through their enemies as Lan Du stepped out of the airship. Two mechas fired a barrage of spiritual beams as the defenders of the palace were sent flying away. Three waterbenders from the Water Tribe approaching Lan Du, only for a dark spirit to swat them away from his presence as he went inside the palace. Walked in to notice anarchists being washed away in a flood left of him, making his way over to the direction of the defeated servants of the Order. It was their target, their primary objective fighting off a group of anarchists while the remaining water tribesman took the cheiftain's woman to safety as Lan Du ordered a group to go after them. The chieftain noticed Lan Du as he launched a haul of ice at the Overseer, leaving Lan Du to counter with three fireballs follow by a bolt of lightning that struck the chieftain's shield. Lan Du struck the Water Tribe cheiftain with lightning to incapacitate the chieftain as he was sent flying back, with two anarchists grabbing the chieftain and brought on his kness. The High Overseer of the Order shot out lightning from his fingertips as they struck the water chieftain, leaving two to grab him before he kneeled on the floor. The chieftain tried to rebel but was met with a couple of blows to the gut.

"Hold him." the leader of the Anarchist Order said

the anarchists complied and nodded. "Yes, High Overseer." they said holding their prisoner

Lan Du crouched down at the kneel water tribesman as he stared into his glaring face. "Hello, Tonraq. We have much to discuss."

"The remaining guards here have fled with his wife. Should we go after them?"

Lan Du stared outside at the coming storm close to the South Water Tribe capital. "No, let them flee. The Harbinger has arrived."
