Air Temple Island(2)

After dinner, we went outside to talk. Since we were in this together we needed to come up with a plan that all of us agreed upon.

"Since we poked the turtle-bear, named Amon, we need to start to be more active in our actions. He just had a huge loss, making him lose his momentum, he needs to find a way to gain it back. While it's a good thing that we stopped him, but it also makes him unpredictable. The most logical choice is to make the citizens unhappy with the current government so that the moment he takes over people don't revolt.

As things stand Tarrok is doing a pretty good job doing that himself. Tenzin, try to block his action as much as possible, but be careful as well I'm sure that the Equalists will start to target the City Council members. I recommended constant vigilance when outside and to propose a guard detail for each council member in the next council meeting."

"I'll be more careful from now on and bring up your idea when we meet again, and about Tarrok, I'll do my best. If the is nothing else I'll get inside, tomorrow is going to be a busy day."

"Good night, everyone!"

Saying this he went to bed. There were a few seconds of silence and then Korra asked.

"What should we do?"

"We don't have many things that we can do actually. We don't know where Amon is hiding and we don't know where his other weapons are, all we can do is either start to follow the council members in the dark to protect them, which I don't advise, other than Nya and me you aren't exactly masters at being stealthy."

"He has more weapons! I thought we finally dealt with that! What about the other thing we can do?"

"Well, you're going to like this Korra! We are going to start hunting!"

"That's what I'm talking about! Team avatar in action!"

I look at Bolin and I try to keep a straight face. With a lot of self-control, I manage not to burst out laughing and manage to add.

"On another note, I need help to fortify the island a little, while I hope that we won't need to use the things I have it's better to be prepared in chaotic times. Bolin you are going to help me bury some explosives."

"Wait, isn't that dangerous? Should we really do this without telling Tenzin? What happens if someone accidentally detonates them?"

"I understand your concern Mako, but I plan to bury them deep enough so that no one can accidentally detonate them. About telling Tenzin about it, well... Let's just say that he will be more thankful than upset. Besides, he already has enough problems to be worried about, let's not add another."

"I'm still against using explosives we don't kill people and that's final!"

"Who said anything about killing? I'll use them to make a smoke screen more than anything. They aren't powerful enough to kill people so you can calm down. Now I would like to show all of you something since we will start to work together."

We went to my room and I started to open one suitcase after another and start to explain the content of each one. The more I talked the more shocked and fearful they look at me.

I showed them the number of explosives I had prepared to bury and the remote control. The moment I showed the briefcase full of them Nya started to shout at me and ask if I was mad to bring this much explosive. It took a while to calm her down and in that time I started to regret my choice in showing them all the stuff I had but since things were already in motion I couldn't turn back now.

I showed them my grenades and guns. They were quite surprised at the variety of grenades and they trembled a little when I explained how guns worked and told how powerful the sniper rifle was.

The last thing I showed them was my suit in all its glory. I made it so that it was easy to put on and it only took me a few minutes to do so. In it I was a few centimeters taller, approaching 2 meters, and looked like a god. I made the suit, especially the headpiece to be frightening, while at night when I turned on the red lights on my suit, combined with the black color that the suit, made me look like a devil. The fact that it made my muscle look bigger while in it also helped with the overall esthetic. The finishing touch was the three pairs of wings on the back painted in red. They were in a position that looked like at any moment I would take off.

"What do you think?"

"It's so beautiful, it's so well made, I got to know how it works and if you can make another one for me!"

"Is this what you've been working on all this time! You could have shown me!"

"Haha, I'm sorry Nya, but this was kind of my secret project I wanted to see if this worked first and then made one for you. I got a little carried away in the meantime and never stopped making improvements. I will try to make two new suits for you and Asami but I wouldn't have my hopes up. Other than being very hard to make it's also very difficult to fully control at the moment."

I then told them how the settings worked and how all the hidden features would come out. It took me fifteen minutes just to say the basics.

"We get it! You are amazing, but can you make something for the rest of us!"

"While you are at it, you can make for us as well."

It took a while to convince that the suit was meant for non-benders and that it was made to counter their ability and wearing it might make their bending less powerful. Hearing this they immediately lost the idea of having one. Sure I could make a normal person more powerful but if a bender got one it would actually make them weaker.

"I'll try to make the most rudimentary ones with the materials I'll get from town tomorrow."
