Capítulo 86: Counterattack(5)

The next day, after a good night's sleep I went straight to the meeting to talk more in-depth about the plan I had in mind.

After much discussion, we managed to agree on how to approach the equalist base. There would be two squads coming from northeast and northwest. They will use earth barricades to advance while the fire benders would provide cover fire. My team would come from the south side, quick and quiet, planting the explosives and getting away. After this was done, Commander Bumi would come in with his troops.

While we were attacking the airport a small elite group would attack the rally capturing Amon, or at least this was what I told the people here that didn't already know that he was a blood bender, this was the main reason I told Korra to take Tarrlock with her. While he wasn't on the same level as his brother he could buy a few seconds so that the others could land a few hits in.

I left the main building going back to my house to do a final revision for my suit. I didn't have time to do a damage assessment after the battle at the bay. At first, I was quite worried that the fire damaged the back of the suit, damaging the battery, but after I opened the suit up I saw that it was still fine and that the only damage it receive was superficial. Since there wasn't much to fix I used my time to give the suit a much-needed new coat of paint, making it look like new as the first day I made it. But before I started to paint it I took a final look at it seeing the remnants of the past battles it has gone through, a faint feeling of nostalgia took over me.

'All the things I've done have started to give fruit. If tomorrow goes as planned then I'm one step closer to my dream.'

I went to bed early since I wanted to be in top shape when tomorrow.

The day of the attack finally arrived. Everybody was gathered in the town square listening to Iroh explaining the plan. After he finished came my turn to give a speech to improve the group's morale.

"I've told you "Today we start to fight back! Tomorrow we retake our city!". Well, tomorrow has come! Do you know what we are fighting for? We are not fighting for land or riches, we are fighting for something bigger something grander, and infinitely more important, the future, this battle will go in the annals of history as the fight that decided the future, we lose the world falls into chaos again, this time for good, we win we bring a new era of peace and prosperity.

Do you know why I fight with such ferocity and have the courage to jump in the middle of enemy lines? I can do that because I believe! I believe in you, in us, in the future we can make together! I believe that even if I fall someone will take my place and continue this righteous battle. Remember you aren't fighting alone, we are fighting together!

MAY THE SPIRITS GIVE US STRENGTH SO THAT WE CAN FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT!

MAY THE SPIRITS BLESS US WITH GOOD FORTUNE SO THAT ALL OF US WILL RETURN SAFELY!

MAY THE SPIRITS HAVE MERCY UPON MY ENEMIES BECAUSE I WON'T!"

"MAY THE SPIRITS HAVE MERCY UPON MY ENEMIES BECAUSE I WON'T!"

The entire camp started to vibrate from the shouts of the people here. I put on my helmet and walk of the platform heading straight to the exit, countless people following behind me with eyes full of conviction.

We arrived near the hidden airport in an hour and started to get in position. The attack would start as the northwest team fired the flare since they would get in position the last.

A bright projectile could be seen coming from the sky and then noise drowned the serene atmosphere of the forest.

Benders started to charge at the compound without fear. While all of this was going on Iroh and I with some other fire benders came in knocking out the people guarding the hangars. I planted the explosives and set them up to explode in ten minutes, then I made my way to the control tower, wanting to take it over.

We went in guns blazing and subdued every equalists there. In half an hour we managed to take over the entire place. Since we finished early I thought it best to go help Korra and try to save Master Wu. In the last scene he was in he was knocked out. After he faced Amon he didn't appear in the anime anymore so I didn't know his fate.

"The people that are still able to fight come with me!"

We headed to the rally and stealthily started to mix in the crowd. Korra already started to argue with Amon and this took the attention off us.

Things progressed as you would expect, Korra accused Amon of faking his injuries and he showed his painted face, the conflict escalated, the only difference this time was that Amon didn't manage to capture the air benders, only displaying some of the metal benders.

As the fight started we came out of the crowd and attacked the equalists standing guard, taking the heat of Korra, letting her escape, but still being followed by Amon.
