Ch 5 discovery
"So you think Hiroshi made those gloves for the equalists then framed cabbage Corp?" Lin asked.
"I know how it sounds, but it's the truth." Korra said.
Makarov walked out of the dark and visited Korra, Tenzin, and Lin.
"It doesn't take the worlds' most powerful nations to create the next world war. Just the will, of a single man. And if Korra is telling the truth, than we need to take care of Hiroshi, before his will comes to fruition." Makarov said.
"He does have a means, and a motive." Lin said.
"Asami told me about her mother." Korra said.
"Alright. We need to look at Hiroshi closer." Lin said.
The next day, Lin, Tenzin, and Korra came to the house. Along with Price, Yuri, Ghost, and Makarov. And the soldiers were armed with shotguns and assault rifles.
"What's going on?" Mako asked, and noticed the armed 'guards.'
Korra looked at Asami and sighed.
"Asami, I don't know how to say this, but I think your father is working for the equalists." Korra said.
"What?" Asami nearly shouted, and got close to Korra. "Korra, why would you do this?"
Asami broke away and angrily walked up to her father's room.
"My father is innocent. Just because we're not benders, doesn't mean we're working with the equalists." Asami said, as she walked into her father's office.
"Kid, for all we know, the equalists may be blackmailing or threatening your father. We'd just like to solve this matter." Price said, standing next to Lin.
"You can search everything in Future Industries." Hiroshi said
Price looked at Hiroshi, and swore he saw him smirk. That tipped Price off.
"Guys, over here." Price said, motioning for the other 3 special ops to follow him.
They entered a room and Yuri closed the door, and locked it.
"Hiroshi said, search everything. But while we left his office, I saw him smirk. His eyes said it all." Price said.
"What did it say?" Ghost asked.
"It said, I'm better then you, and you can't find shit. I'm with the equalists." Price said.
"We could torture him for information." Makarov said.
"If it comes to that, I'll let you have him." Price said.
"Good. Now lets help with the investigation." Yuri said, and moved the door handle, only to notice that it was locked.
"Chort. The door is locked from the outside." Yuri said.
"I'll take care of this." Makarov said.
Makarov opened a small roll of leather, and grabbed a pin. He inserted it inside and moved the pin up, down, left, right, and continued probing inside the lock until he opened the door.
"That's how it's done." Makarov said, grabbing his AK.
The investigation proved nothing.
"It looks like Hiroshi is innocent." Lin said.
"Chief, there's a Romanian proverb. Sleep in gypsy tent, wake up in a pile of shit. Or in this case, body bags. He's hiding something. And I want to know what it is. Makarov, you're with me. We're going to interrogate Hiroshi." Price said.
"No you're not. You've done your investigation. Now leave." Asami said, glaring at the two soldiers.
Price and Makarov looked at each other, then at Asami. They decided not to force her. Not worth it today.
"Hey, over here." A voice said.
"Someone's here." Ghost said, raising his rifle.
A man came to Ghost and gave him a piece of paper. Ghost opened it, and gave it to Lin.
At the Silk Road Bridge, they met the unknown contact. He told them of his story.
"I didn't sign up for this war." The man said.
"What do you have on Hiroshi?" Lin asked.
"He made those gloves. And he's working on another weapons project." The man said.
"We found nothing." Tenzin said.
"Because it's in his hidden factory. Underneath the Sato mansion." The man said.
They headed back to the mansion, and they got ready for a fight.
"Weapons?" Price asked.
"Check." Ghost said.
"Gas masks?" Price asked.
"Check." Makarov said.
"Alright. We do this fast and hard. Ghost, take the left side of the house. Makarov, take the right. You two are level floor. I'll take the upper left, Ghost takes the upper right. Lets makes sure this project is shut down for good." Price said.
"Raiding the Sato mansion is dangerous with Tarrlok down your neck. If we're wrong…" Tenzin said.
"I can kiss my job good bye. But we can't let Amon get ahold of these new weapons." Lin said.
"Who's Tarrlok?" Makarov asked.
"Some asshole politician. I think he wants to control the city. He's always butting into matters outside his own jurisdiction." Tenzin said.
"Lovely. Another corrupted pig we have to deal with. Well, Tenzin, there's one way to take care of that." Makarov said, running his thumb across his throat.
"Chief, one minute out." The pilot said.
"Masks on." Price said.
With the gas masks on, they got their weapons ready, signaled by the racking of bolts.
"When we touch down, do not stop moving until the mansion is secured. Any who attempts to interfere is hostile." Makarov said.
"If we run into the kids, secure them. Just so they stay out of the way. Makarov, if we find Hiroshi, he's all yours." Price said.
"Lets hope we find him." Makarov said.
The zeppelin touched down, and the 4 soldiers jumped out.
"Move quickly!" Price shouted, running to the front door.
At the front door, Ghost kicked the door opened, and they moved in, guns raised and loaded.
"What the hell's going on?" Mako asked.
"Follow the plan. Search your sectors. Secure any documents and weapons you find. Go!" Ghost ordered.
As the soldiers moved into the house, Asami looked at Korra, livid.
"What the fuck, Korra?"
"Asami, your father is working for the equalists. One of his workers told us." Korra said.
"We're looking for a hidden factory." Lin said.
"That's a load of bull." Asami said.
Lin pressed a listening device against her ear.
"Price?" She asked.
"House is secure. No Hiroshi Sato. No weapons or documents found." Price said.
"See, he's innocent." Asami said.
"No he's not. The back yard is big enough you can hide a bunker underground. I would." Makarov said.
"Team, head outside and secure the backyard. Search for anything that could lead us underground." Price said.
Everyone headed outside into the workshop, when the police officers joined in.
"No-one's left since we arrived." An officer said.
"Maybe we couldn't see Hiroshi leaving." Lin said. Stamping her foot on the ground, she waited for a second.
"There's a tunnel here." Lin said.
"There's no tunnel." Asami said.
"Really?" Lin asked, as she metal bended the floor and threw a portion of it aside, showing the secret tunnel.
"Ghost, take point." Price said.
"Yes sir."
The 4 soldiers walked downstairs, rifles at the ready, followed by Lin, Tenzin, Korra, and her officers.
The lift stopped moving and they moved inside a large room. They saw equalist posters, and large mechs.
"So these are the new weapons." Korra said.
"Hiroshi, you lying prick. Where are you?" Price asked.
A platinum wall closed shut, trapping them inside. Lin attempted to metal bend it, but to no avail.
"Maybe you can try lifting it with your bare hands. I'm sure it'll work." Ghost said.
"Cheeky bastard." Price annoyingly said.
Bright lights shown upon the group, and Hiroshi spoke.
"Not even your renowned mother could bend a metal so pure." Hiroshi said, as 5 mech tanks moved into attack position.
"Think we can fight them?" Yuri asked.
"Only if we aim for the cockpit. I doubt it's bulletproof." Makarov said, racking the bolt on his AK.
Without warning, the mechs attacked, by firing electric cables at the group.
"Controlled bursts!" Price shouted, firing his M4 rifle at a mech. To his surprise, he saw Lin jump on a mech and stab the cockpit, trying to kill the pilot.
"That's someone who's got balls." Ghost said, firing a full burst of ammo into a mech tank. While he killed the pilot thanks to the weak glass, he was low on ammo.
"Bollocks, I'm low on ammo!" Ghost shouted.
"Arrgh!" Price shouted, as he was thrown against the wall, unconscious.
The remaining 3 soldiers continued to fire everything at the mechs, no longer calm and controlled as they were only minutes ago.
Makarov pulled out a thumper grenade launcher and fired at a mech tank. The round hit the armor, but failed to penetrate.
"Shit." Makarov muttered, as he was also knocked unconscious.
With everyone knocked out, Hiroshi climbed out of his mecha tank.
"I'd say that was a near flawless test run. Take them to Amon." Hiroshi said.
Bolin and Mako appeared thru a hole in the ground, and grabbed as many as they could.
"Not so fast, boys." Hiroshi said, electric gloves armed.
"Sponsoring the fire ferrets. Supporting the Avatar. It was a ploy, wasn't it?" Mako asked, glaring daggers into Hiroshi.
"Yes. And the worst part was seeing my daughter so intimate with the Avatar, the most glaring evidence of the flaw of bending." Hiroshi said.
Makarov woke up and looked at Hiroshi. Clenching his fists, he broke from Bolin's hold and tackled Hiroshi. The Spetsnaz initially had the upper hand, but Hiroshi once against shocked him with an electric glove.
"Dad!" Asami shouted, gathering her father's attention.
"Why?" She asked, on the verge of tears.
"Sweetie, I tried to keep this away from you. But you have to know the truth. These benders, they took your mother away. With Amon, we can create a world where no one is oppressed any longer." Hiroshi said, offering Asami an electric glove.
Asami took the glove, looking at her father.
"No." Mako said, not believing the turn of events.
"I love you dad." Asami said, before shocking her father with the glove. Mako and Bolin looked in surprise as Asami choose their side.
The Lieutenant quickly battled Asami, but was she beat his ass real easy.
"We need to leave, now." Asami shouted, as more equalists came in.
"Not without him." Price shouted, grabbing the unconscious Lieutenant.
Bolin close the hole, as the remaining tanks attacked, cutting them off. Back on the zeppelin, Ghost took the Lt into a small room and locked him up.
"Ghost, stay watch over the prisoner. Call us when he wakes up. We'll interrogate him." Price said.
In the cockpit, everyone was wrapping their heads around the events. It was so surreal.
"You're welcome to stay at air temple island." Korra said to her friends.
"Thanks Korra. I appreciate that." Mako said.
"Asami, I'm sorry about all of this." Korra said, putting a hand on the heiress shoulder.
Asami looked at Korra and hugged her tightly, as tears ran down her face.
"It's okay, Asami. I'm here for you." Korra said, tightly hugging Asami.
"Price, the prisoner is waking up." Ghost said.
"Lets move." Price said.
The 3 soldiers grabbed submachine guns and headed deeper into the zeppelin. Price put on a brass knuckle, and punched the Lt.
"Where's the equalist base?" Price asked.
"I'm not telling." The Lt said.
"We'll make you talk." Makarov said. He pulled out a knife and slashed the Lt across the face.
"Tell us!" Price shouted.
"He's got a gold tooth!" Ghost said.
Makarov used his knife and broke the tooth out of the mouth. A painful scream filled the zeppelin shocking those on the bridge.
"What's going on down their?" Tenzin asked.
In the interrogation room, the Lt still wouldn't talk. Makarov grabbed the Lt and threw him across the room.
"I got an idea. Pin him against the wall. Pants down." Price said.
Makarov grabbed a broom handle and broke it in two. He shoved one end up the Lt's ass, sodomizing him.
Another blood curdling scream was heard, as the soldiers continued to torture the Lt.
"I can't take this anymore. I'm going down to see what's going on." Korra said.
She walked down the zeppelin and entered the torture room. What she was a room of horrors. She saw blood all over the place, and followed the stream… right up the Lt's rectum.
"What's going on?!" Korra asked.
"Interrogation. We need information about the equalists." Makarov said, preparing a hot piece of metal.
"That's going too far." Korra said.
"What would you do? The ends justify the means. Remember that." Makarov said.
A ringing sound was heard, and everyone trailed to a phone.
"It's his, sir." Ghost said, handing Price the phone. Price listened for a second and dropped the phone. He grabbed Makarov's desert eagle, and shot the Lt in the face, killing him.
"What the hell!" Korra shouted.
"Who was that?" Yuri asked.
"Amon." Price said.
