Ch 7 mansion raid
Locus opened his pack and dumped the contents on the bed, and Kya came out wearing a bathrobe.
"What's all that?" Kya asked.
"Everything I brought with me. I got 12 frag grenades, 5 napalm grenades, 200 shotgun shells, and 400 .50 cartridges. I also got a grappler gun, and spare parts for the weapons." Locus said.
"Sounds like you're ready for a war." Kya said.
"Yeah. I am ready." Locus said, as he looked at his armor, now a different color. It was white colored, and the visor was gold. Locus could taste the irony.
"Ironic." Locus said, as he loaded his sniper rifle.
"What?" Kya asked.
"My armor now looks like the Meta's armor. He was this freelancer. Went nuts and started killing his comrades to get their AI's and armor enhancements. Very advanced stuff. Very deadly in combat. Hell, no-one could stop him. And the greatest irony of it all, is that the sim troopers killed him. And those same sim troopers killed Felix, or so I thought. Just goes to show, never underestimate your opponent." Locus said.
"Yeah. Never under estimate anyone." Kya said, taking her bathrobe off and wrapping her arms around Locus.
Locus backed onto the bed and pulled Kya to straddle him. Kya gyrated on Locus and rode him real hard.
Locus's eyes roamed across Kya's body, her breasts jiggling around as she bounced up and down on Locus.
"Kya, I'm cumming!" Locus said, as his sperm went into Kya.
"I'm not done with you yet." Kya said, putting her crotch in Locus's mouth, and Locus ran his tongue all over Kya's nether regions, and Kya was like putter in Locus's hands.
Kya came undone and collapsed on Locus, satisfied by Locus.
"Tonight, you'll be in chains tonight." Kya said.
"Looking forward to it." Locus said.
Korra ran into the temple, and barged into Locus's room.
"Korra, what the hell!?" Kya shouted, trying to cover herself.
"Locus, we need to talk." Korra said.
Locus gave the Avatar a weird look, grabbed his shotgun and racked the pump.
"Get out." Locus said.
Korra wisely backed away and closed the door.
"What was that about?" Locus asked.
"I don't know." Kya said.
Locus put his armor on, grabbed his weapons, and walked out to meet Korra.
"What do you want?" Locus growled.
"I think Hiroshi is working with the equalists." Korra said.
"Who is he?" Locus asked.
"The CEO of future industries." Korra said.
"Shit. And Felix is working with the equalists as well." Locus said.
"It's bad, isn't it?" Korra asked.
"Worse than anything you can think of." Locus said.
Locus and Korra met with Tenzin and Lin, discussing the supposed threat by Hiroshi.
"You think Hiroshi made those gloves and framed cabbage corps?" Lin asked.
"There's something else. My former partner, Felix. He's working with the equalists, and he almost killed me at the stadium." Locus said.
"That's your problem." Lin said.
"Have you forgotten he almost killed you and Korra? If Hiroshi is working with the equalists, they can mass produce weapons like the rifle I'm holding, and the equalists will be untouchable. Even I couldn't stop them." Locus said.
"How much of an edge would your weapons give?" Tenzin asked.
"A single battalion with the weapons me and Felix use, would be able to take over the entire world." Locus warned.
"Then we should keep a closer eye on Hiroshi." Lin said.
"If we run across Felix, leave him to me. Just run for your lives." Locus said.
The next day, they headed to the Sato estate to confront Hiroshi.
"Why are they asking my father more questions?" Asami asked, but backed away in fear at seeing Locus in his armor.
"Asami, I don't know how to say this, but I think your father is working with the equalists." Korra said.
"What? I don't believe this." Asami said.
Asami walked into Hiroshi's office, and yelled at Lin and Tenzin.
"Just because we're not benders doesn't mean we support those awful equalists." Asami said.
"Are you sure?" Locus asked.
"Yeah. He's my father." Asami said, attempting to stare down the Spartan, but it had no effect.
"Unfortunate." Locus smirked.
"What do you mean?" Asami asked.
"You trust to easily." Locus said, and walked out of the office.
Hiroshi gave the police permission to search his warehouses, which they did. They found nothing and were leaving when Korra came with a note.
"Listen to this. If you want to know the truth, meet me at the north end of the silk road bridge." Korra said.
Midnight came, and Locus was observing the meeting with his sniper rifle, ready to shoot the messenger if it turned to be a trap.
"Okay, looks like they're talking. And leaving." Locus muttered, as he watched the two parties head different ways.
"What did you find out?" Locus asked, meeting them at the zeppelin.
"Hiroshi is making weapons in a factory under the mansion." Korra said.
"Shit. And Felix may be there to test the weapons." Locus said.
In the zeppelin, Locus and the officers got ready to raid the mansion checking their equipment and weapons. The officers kept their distance away from Locus, clearly in awe and fear.
"Raiding the Sato mansion is dangerous. If we're wrong…" Tenzin started.
"I know. I can kiss my job goodbye. But we can't let Amon get his hands on these weapons. And if Locus is telling the truth…" Lin started, then swallowed, not wanting to finish.
Tenzin walked to the cargo bay where he saw Locus.
"Locus, you ready?" Tenzin asked.
"Ready." Locus said, facing the door, shotgun in hand.
The zeppelin touched the ground and the door opened. Locus ran off the zeppelin and thru the courtyard, followed by the police officers. They came to the front door, and Locus motioned for everyone to keep their heads down.
One of the officers opened the door's lock with metal bending, and Locus took point. Locus quickly moved thru the parlor and searched the rooms, finding nothing.
"It's too quiet." Locus whispered.
"Keep moving." Lin said back.
Locus approached a door and put his ear to it, hearing Asami, Bolin, and Mako talking to each other. Locus raised a hand and counted down from three.
3, 2, 1.
Locus kicked the door open and walked into the room, shotgun raised.
"Hands in the air, now!" Locus said, aiming his shotgun at Korra's friends.
"What's going on?" Bolin asked, seeing Locus aiming a weapon at them.
"We have a reason to believe there's a hidden factory under the mansion." Lin said.
"That's a load of bullshit." Asami said.
Locus put his shotgun on his back and grabbed Asami with one hand. His immense strength surprised her. Locus pinned Asami against a wall and checked her wrists, neck, eyes, and head.
"What are you doing?" Mako asked.
"Checking to see if she's been lobotomized or brainwashed. The jury's still out." Locus said, putting Asami down.
"You're insane." Asami said.
"You're not the first person to say that. Where's your father?" Locus asked.
"Out back." Asami said, glaring daggers at Locus. Locus was unfazed.
Locus led everyone to the back inside a small workshop.
"The yard's secured. No-one came in or out." An officer said.
"Then maybe we just didn't see him leaving." Lin said, and stomped on the floor with her bare foot, using her seismic sense.
"There's an underground tunnel here." Lin said.
"There's no tunnel." Asami said.
Lin smirked at Asami and using metalbending, tore the ground open and revealed a hidden tunnel.
Locus immediately walked down the stairs, sniper rifle in his hand. Lin, Tenzin, Korra and the officers walked behind him.
"Hey, you okay?" an officer asked, seeing Locus's hands shaking.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Locus said, gripping his sniper rifle.
They walked into a large workshop, where they saw large posters of Amon. They didn't see any weapons.
"What the hell?" Locus asked, looking at the empty room. This was the perfect spot for an ambush.
Suddenly, a large metal wall rose out of the blue and shut them inside.
"Shit." Korra said, looking at the metal wall.
"That wall is platinum. Not even your renowned mother could bend a metal so pure." Hiroshi said.
A line of 14 equalists came in, facing the officers. They were led by Hiroshi and Felix.
"Felix." Locus said, aiming his rifle at his hated enemy.
"That was a set up." Lin said.
"Guilty as charged." Hiroshi said, aimed an MA-37 assault rifle at them. All of the equalists had MA-37 rifles. Felix still had his DMR.
"Get to cover!" Locus yelled, and they scattered as the equalists fired their assault rifles, killing over half the officers. Lin and the surviving officers created earth ramparts to block the deadly bullets and buy themselves some time. Locus aimed his rifle and started shooting, killing 4 equalists.
"I can't believe it." Lin said, her eyes in shock.
"Me neither." Locus said, as he tossed a grenade towards the equalists and was satisfied to hear screams from the other side.
"Locus, get over here!" Felix shouted.
"No." Locus said.
"If not, you and your fellow benders will die." Felix said.
Locus sighed and jumped over the rampart to face his enemy.
"What do you want, Felix?" Locus asked, aiming his rifle at his enemy.
"Locus, you're going to enjoy this little game of ours." Felix said.
"Felix, people have died." Locus said.
"That's what people DO!" Felix yelled.
Since filled the room, and Locus felt a shiver go up his spine.
"You won't get away with this." Locus said.
"I'll burn you Felix. I'll burn the heart out of you." Felix said.
"I don't have a heart, Felix." Locus said.
"Locus, you're a terrible liar." Felix said.
Locus looked at Felix, and the armed equalists behind Felix. He was in a bad situation, but he stalled his enemies, hoping for a way out.
"What if I was to kill you right now?" Locus asked, aiming his rifle at Felix.
"I'd be surprised. Really. I would." Felix said.
Quicker than both of them could blink, a large earth wall slams against the equalists and crushes them to death against the armored wall.
"It's over, Felix. It's over." Locus said.
Felix lunged towards Locus with a knife, but Locus grabbed the arm and twisted it, Felix dropping to the ground. Locus brutally kicked Felix and sent him flying against the wall.
"Hiroshi, it's over." Locus said, as the CEO faced him, assault rifle in his hand.
"Dad, stop!" Asami said, looking at the scene of carnage. Blood, and dead equalists and officers littered the floor. Asami had to avoid throwing up. Both Hiroshi and Locus faced each other. Behind Asami, was Mako and Bolin. They too were sickened at the scene.
"Dad? Why?" Asami asked.
"Sweetie, I tried to keep this away from you. But now you know the truth. These people, these benders, they took your mother, the love of my life. They've ruined the world, but with Amon we can make it better. We can help people like us, everywhere!" Hiroshi said, walking towards his daughter, under the aim of Locus.
Hiroshi takes the glove on his right hand off, and hands it to Asami.
"Join me, Asami."
Asami hesitates, before taking the glove. Locus's trigger finger tightly clenches the trigger, ready to kill both Hiroshi and Asami.
"I love you dad." Asami said, before shocking her own father.
"Lets get out of here." Locus said, as everyone leaves the workshop and heads towards the zeppelin.
Leaving the mansion, Locus calls Felix on his radio.
"All that time we were talking, I took the liberty to observe you. You may thing we have similarities, but we don't. I'm the soldier, and you're just a murderer." Locus coldly said.
