Ch 2 new world, new friends
Outside Republic City
Korra and her friends were sitting next to a pulsating pool of water. Korra dragged her friends out to see this. She felt something important was going to happen.
"I don't understand. Something told me to come here." Korra said.
"Something told you to come here. Nice." Mako sarcastically said.
"What told you to come here?" Asami asked.
"I had a brief vision. I saw Aang, and what looked like the day of black sun invasion." Korra said.
Asami held her chin, thinking for a second. She had done some research and knew that Avatar's communicated with their past lives, usually for advice, especially in times of trouble.
"Korra, have you ever communicated with your past lives?" Asami asked, sitting Korra down and sat facing her.
"No. I haven't. I wasn't the best on the spiritual aspect of the Avatar. Only the physical aspect." Korra said.
"Maybe Aang is trying to communicate to you." Asami said.
"Why would he send me a message about the day of black sun invasion?" Korra asked. "From what Katara told me, that was a nasty fight."
"Nasty fight is putting it lightly. Hundreds were killed in that one battle, the majority were fire nation soldiers." Asami said.
"Thanks, Asami." Korra sarcastically said.
"Don't worry, Korra. Whatever Aang is trying to tell you, I'm sure you'll figure it out." Asami said, grabbing Korra's hand in comfort.
"Thanks, Asami." Korra said.
Killing the moment, was the roar of a loud engine. Everyone looked and saw the pool grow brighter and brighter. Without thinking, Korra tackled Asami down as a large vehicle burst thru the pool and skidded a few stops away.
"What's that?" Korra asked.
"It looks like an armored vehicle. I wonder who's inside it." Asami said.
As the group approached the vehicle, a door opened and someone fell out, then vomited.
"Nice one, Yuri. You just vomit all over the place." Ghost said.
"Fuck you." Yuri weakly responded, flipping Ghost off.
"Here's your rifle. Don't leave your weapon behind." Makarov said, handing Yuri his G36C assault rifle.
"Thanks Ghost. Where are we?" Price asked.
"We're not in Siberia anymore." Makarov said.
"Hello!" Bolin shouted, walking towards the armed soldiers.
Makarov and Price quickly looked at each other than at the kids walking towards them.
"Yuri, we got company." Ghost said, holding his M4 rifle.
Korra and her friends approached the armored vehicle and its 4 soldiers.
"Where'd you guys come from?" Korra asked.
Price looked at the 3 soldiers, and then at Korra.
"Sit down. It's a long story." He said.
Hours later…
"Wow. That's a hell of a story." Bolin said.
"Yes. Now we're wondering how we can go home, because the strange portal that send us here, is not here." Price said.
"I think you're supposed to be here. I'm the Avatar." Korra said.
"What's that?" Makarov asked.
"It's a long story." Korra said.
"We got plenty of time." Yuri said.
After telling the story, there was nothing but silence.
"That's one hell of a story." Ghost said.
"Just as strange as yours." Mako countered.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Korra asked.
"Sure, kid." Yuri said.
"Our city is threatened by a terrorist, and the four of us don't know how to fight in a war. So I'm wondering if you guys could help us." Korra said.
The four soldiers talked amongst each other in hushed tones.
"This isn't our fight." Makarov said.
"Makarov, there is no way we can return home by ourselves. Lets make a deal with them. If we help them win their war, they help us get back to our world." Price said.
"Fine." Makarov glared.
"We'll help you. But In return, you get us back to our world." Price said.
"Deal." Korra said.
"So you know a place where we can stay?" Makarov asked.
"You can stay with me on air temple island." Korra said.
"It's a deal." Price said.
With the Krew in the MRAP, they drove on the streets to air temple island. Needless to say, many Satomobile drivers were freaked out when they saw a large armored vehicle driving next to them.
"So where's this arena?" Makarov asked, driving the MRAP.
"You're almost there. Take the next left." Bolin said.
Arriving at the pro-bending arena, Bolin, Mako, and Asami got off the MRAP and said their good-byes.
"See you tomorrow." Bolin said.
"Will be there." Korra replied.
Korra and the soldiers headed towards the ferry that took them to air temple island.
"Just 4 air benders left?" Makarov asked.
"Yeah. Just 4." Korra said.
"Just like Pripyat." Price muttered.
"Da." Yuri said.
"Pripyat?" Korra asked.
"In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power-plant suffered a reactor meltdown. The radiation spread everywhere. The town of Pripyat was nearby. 50,000 people evacuated in less than a day. That place has never been inhabited again. I think it's haunted." Price said.
Tenzin was meditating, when he heard the sound of a vehicle pulling up to the temple grounds. He walked up to see an armored vehicle, and saw Korra climbing out of it.
"Korra?" Tenzin asked, eyes almost bulging out.
"Listen, Tenzin. I can explain. That energy disturbance I felt was a portal to another world. And they came out." Korra said.
Tenzin looked and saw 4 men, wearing body armor and armed with strange weapons. The lead one walked up to Tenzin and introduced himself.
"John Price, British SAS."
"Vladimir Makarov. Russian Spetsnaz."
"Yuri, Russian Spetsnaz."
"Simon Riley. British SAS. Call me Ghost."
"Pleasure to meet you all. I'm master Tenzin, one of the last air benders, and Korra's air bending teacher."
"Thanks Tenzin. Once we're settled in, we'll need some information about the Equalists if we're to fight against them." Price said.
They moved quickly to get settled in, and most importantly, keep the guns and supplies away from prying eyes. It was common knowledge to have guns lying around unnoticed.
"Okay. MRAP is secure. Lets talk to Tenzin about this equalist movement." Yuri said.
Sitting in the dining room, they talked about the movement.
"The equalist are led by a man named Amon." Tenzin said, showing a wanted poster.
"Do you know where he is?" Makarov asked.
"We've been searching for him. But we haven't been able to find him." Tenzin said.
The 4 special ops soldiers looked at each other.
"5 bucks said we can get him tomorrow." Price said.
"I raise you to 20 rubbles we can him in 12 hours." Makarov said.
"Deal." Price said.
"Anything else we should know about?" Ghost asked.
"Amon can take away bending." Korra said.
"Not a concern for us. How large is this organization?" Yuri asked.
"I'd say it's a large group. The uniform is black clothing with red and gold trims, with a full face mask. They don't wear the uniform in public. The only attack at night." Tenzin said.
"What kind of training do they have?"
"I can answer that." Korra said happily. "Their trained chi blockers, and use electric bola's in ranged combat."
Price broke out laughing.
"I'm sorry. But these guys are amateurs. Hell, they're not even close to amateurs."
"We'll crush them easily. We didn't get into the SAS and Spetsnaz for no reason." Yuri said.
All 4 of them were grinning at the prospect of an easy victory.
"You all look like you want to kill them." Korra said, shocked.
"If we can win without killing, so be it. But if they want a fight, we'll fight." Makarov said, his cold steely eyes saying the same words.
"I don't think I could kill." Korra said, looking at the ground, unsure of herself.
"Korra, if the equalist do attack, we'll take care of them. Each of us has gone thru extensive training in stealth, hand-to-hand, weapons, etc. They won't last long against us." Yuri said.
"You'll have your chance to fight them. Amon threatened to attack the stadium during the pro-bending championship. Lin Beifong, our chief of police has tasked her metal bending officers to guard the arena during the match." Tenzin said.
"When's the match?" Ghost asked.
"Tomorrow. 8PM." Korra said.
"We'll be there." Price said.
"Try not to kill anyone." Korra joked.
"You serious?" Makarov spat.
"Uh…" Korra said.
"If the equalists attack the stadium, we'll kill them. No survivors. It's them or us. That's how it is." Makarov said.
Nothing the tense atmosphere, Tenzin broke it up.
"Everyone get some rest. We'll need it for tomorrow." Tenzin said.
