Ch 10 turning the tide
Asami woke up and looked at Korra. Caressing the Avatar, Asami felt for the Avatar. She's only 17, and had been thru a lot already.
"Morning, Asami." Korra said, looking at her girlfriend.
"Morning, Korra." Asami said.
"Asami, thanks for saving me. I thought I was dead. Or Amon would take my bending." Korra said.
"Don't worry about that. We'll stop Amon. Just try and relax." Asami said, sitting up and holding Korra.
"If relaxing is this, I can relax all day." Korra said.
Smiling in response, Asami looked at Korra. Leaning close to each other, they kissed and tongues entangled with each other.
"Asami, not that I mind, but it's been hours since I ate." Korra said.
"Oh, right." Asami blushed.
Walking downstairs, they passed the squad. And while determined to fight to the bitter end, they were also burning out.
As everyone gathered at the dinner table, Korra ate like a wild animal.
"Sorry about this, it's been a full day since I ate anything." Korra said, downing some water.
"Korra, we need to know what happened." Tenzin said.
"Well, Tenzin, it was like this. For hours, Tarrlok had me locked in a cell. The service was slow, the accommodations were lousy. When I felt that the institution had nothing left to offer me, I just left." Korra said, in a solemn tone.
Tenzin looked at Korra with worry.
"I thought I was gonna die there, or be taken to Amon. If it wasn't for Ghost and Asami, I'd be dead." Korra said.
"What happened to Tarrlok?" Lin asked.
"I electrocuted him. If he survived that, then Amon got him." Asami said.
"You saw Amon?" Price asked.
"Yeah. Along with a squad of equalists. I blew them apart with a grenade launcher. Can't say if I got Amon or not." Ghost said.
Worried, Tenzin headed to the city, wanting to meet for the next council meeting.
"Nice knowing you." Makarov said, then headed towards the MRAP, grabbing several claymores.
"The equalists might attack today. We need to hold the island from them. Makarov, set up claymore mines at the entrance to the island." Price said.
"I've already set them up." Makarov said.
"Ghost, set up machine gun posts at the entrance. No-one's getting inside." Price said.
As they set up their defenses, they saw equalist zeppelins bombing the city.
"Hurry up! The equalists are already here!" Price yelled, running to set up an M60.
The krew got on a speed boat and headed towards the town to take the fight to the equalists. Meanwhile, the squad finished their preparations.
Republic City
Korramobile
The krew headed straight towards city hall, and heard multiple gunshots and screaming.
"Faster, Asami!" Korra shouted.
"I'll blow the engine." Asama warned.
"Blow it apart then." Korra said.
Asami floored it and pointed the car at a Mech. Korra and Bolin created a ramp, launching the car into the air. Everyone jumped out, as the car slammed into the mech, destroying it.
Caught off guard, the equalists were quickly defeated as Asami as she moved in the group quickly, taking out soldiers with her electric glove and chi-blocking techniques. Asami noticed that two equalists were about to throw Tenzin in a truck. Asami grabbed a bayoneted Kar98 and took aim. Pulling the trigger, she kills one equalist.
Asami runs forward, and bayonets the other equalist soldier. She pulls out the bayonet and watches the equalist squirm on the ground, wounded but still alive. Blinded by hatred and revenge, Asami twirls the rifle, and breaks the equalist's teeth inward. Reaching inside the mouth, Asami pulls out the tongue, and cuts it out!
The equalists grips his mouth in pain and agony, unable to properly scream without his tongue. He looks up, and sees an angry Asami. Asami takes the bayonet off the rifle, and proceeds to stab the equalists, carving out his inside, disemboweling him.
Asami looks at the dead soldier, blood over the place.
"We're leaving." Asami said, grabbing more rifles and ammunition from the dead.
"Asami, you okay?" Korra asked.
Asami turned to Korra and looked at her with haunted eyes. Korra recoiled back in surprise. The only other person's eyes who had that much anger and hatred, was the squad's eyes.
Air Temple Island
Same time
As the bombs fell on Republic City, the squad got ready for one more fight with the equalists.
Footsteps were heard, as the equalists moved up the stairs, and walked right into the claymores. The pre-positioned mines blew, stopping the first attack wave. Makarov and Yuri walked among the equalists, shooting those that were still alive.
"Sir, we've used up all our claymore mines. We won't be able to stop another attack." Yuri said.
"That's it then. Stock up one weapons and ammo. We're leaving the temple." Price said.
"I thought you guys were to defend the temple." Meelo said.
"Sorry, kid. It's only the 4 of us, against hundreds of equalists. We'll guerrilla style in the city, keep the equalits on their toes." Makarov said.
"Aw man!" Meelo pouted, walking away.
As the air benders and Lin left on Oogi, the krew, and the squad headed into the sewers of republic city.
"I can't believe we're running." Korra bemoaned.
"Be thankful you're still alive." Price said.
They watched as air Temple Island was overrun. Gunshots were heard in the distance, as the equalists began to flush out any form of resistance in the city.
"Korra, lets go." Asami said, walking into the tunnel, holding Korra next to her.
That night, Lin was on her knees, facing Amon himself.
"Tell me where the Avatar is, and I'll let you keep your bending." Amon said.
"I'm not telling you anything, you monster." Lin said, getting up on her knees, and with her cuffed hands, and did an uppercut on Amon's genitals.
The equalist leader fell down in pain, gripping his groin.
"You benders are going to fall, starting with you." He said, then moaned in agony.
"It was worth it." Lin said, smiling as an equalist knocked her out.
