บท 78: Air Temple Island(10)
Early in the morning, I gathered all of my friends and I told them that the Equalists would most certainly attack today or in a few days at the latest.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm pretty sure, I also advise you to call the United Forces navy to get them to come here. Also, the Equalists have a weapon against them so we will need to warn them."
"What weapon?"
"Well, Asami, let's say your father didn't make just the gloves and the mechas for the equalists. He made a new flying device, faster than a balloon and a lot more precise. It's very hard to hit one since they are quite nimble and unlike balloons, they can make sharp turns easily. He really is a genius."
"Thanks... Shouldn't we question my father then? I mean he's still in prison and we could easily get to him."
"It no uses, I don't think he knows anything, even if he knew if don't think he would tell us even under torture. I knew where the planes were but their location has changed, the flying devices need a lot of space to get off the ground so there aren't many places where they could hide them. Even knowing this I still have no clue where there are now. The best we can do is wing it."
"Ok, I'll go to the meeting and talk with the other council members."
"I don't think we have enough time for that, if I'm right then it means that the council will not stand much longer. We need to do this now, besides it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."
"Are you sure about this? If all of this is wrong and the Equalists don't try to take over the city they will get even more support from the people."
"I'm sure! Tenzin be careful, the Equalists have become bolder and I'm afraid they will try to capture you the moment you step off this island. So be aware of your surroundings at all times and directly go to the police station. Contact the First Division of the United Forces the moment you can."
"Is it wise to call the United Forces navy if we don't know if they can fight off the Equalists?"
"Good point Korra, the thing is that it doesn't matter. We need them to show us what they have under their sleeves. Up until now, it was impossible to win against the Equalists because we didn't know how deep their roots were, they lived in the dark so we didn't know how many of them are. To do this we need to force their hand, knowing Amon he's going to come out swinging the moment this happens to show strength. Korra, I don't expect the navy to do anything the first wave, they will surely lose, and the faster you get over that the better. The only job of the first wave is to find out the general location of the airport."
"I still don't like it, we are sending them into a situation we know they can't win. A lot of people will get injured if we do this."
"A lot more will if we don't. Korra, this city is the central point of this world, if something new appears, it appears in Republic City, and then it spreads to the rest of the world. If it was the past I wouldn't worry so much since back then normal people had a lot more respect for benders and didn't have the means nor the knowledge to do something about it. Even now, there are so few places that have managed to evolve at a similar pace with Republic City or at least started to industrialize.
The problem is long-term. For now, not a lot of other people outside Republic City will take up arms against the benders, but what about in twenty years when the next generation grows up? They will hear the stories about the hundred-year war and how benders were the ones that started it. They will hear stories about the cruelty of benders and how different they are from them. What do you think THEY will do? A better future is in front of them, they just need to take it. By force in our case since I don't see any way that benders will give up bending.
This city is like a dam, and the ideas that are born in this city are the water it holds back. The moment it breaks it will start to change the landscape of this world as we know it.
The Equalists can't be fully stoped and neither they should be. They represent a problem with our society and sooner or later its presents was going to be felt, the good thing is that it's sooner. I don't have a shadow of a doubt that they will capture the city at a certain point, the question is how long are we going to let them and how are we going to take it back."
"I understand, we are going to go with your plan."
"Perfect! Now for our part, we will split into three teams. Team one: Korra, Bolin, Asami, Mako, they will go with Tenzin and follow behind him unnoticed. Team two: Captain Beifong and I. We will remain on the island in case something happens. The two of us should be enough to give the children and Pema time to run. Team three, it's only comprised of Nya, your job is to watch the prison and in case there is a breakout to follow the escapees, find the location where they are going and come back, nothing more.
Also, Team one, bring Tarrlok out of his cell and use him."
"Do you think that there is going to be a breakout at the prison?"
"I truly don't know captain, but I find it strange that for the past few days so many equalists got captured so easily. It might be my paranoia talking but it's better safe than sorry."
