7 Chapter 7

Chapter 7:

Jiran and the two left for the location of the place where Amon and his sympathizers were gathering. The place where Bolin is being held kidnapped.

"Ah shit, I need to get some clothes first. My Air Nomad look will not be a good disguise" Said Jiran while sighing.

If he goes there with his Air Nomad robe, not only will his clothes attract a lot of attention making their silent infiltration impossible but it would also give Tenzin a hard time since he's the only Airbender connected to the Air Temple Island here in Republic City.

"Good thing, I still have some money left from the pocket money Tenzin gave me" Before they arrived at the location they made a stop at the local clothing shop to get Jiran some clothes.

After successfully buying a disguise, they resumed their pursuit and finally arrived at the location.

Thankfully, Amon and his goons followed the norm, seeing the abandoned warehouse with guards on the front it wasn't that hard to confirm that they're in the right place.

"Let's go." Jiran commanded the two while walking to the entrance confidently as if he was invited there in the first place

In the front of the entrance.

"Invitations please." The guard said sternly, hulking the three of them by a large margin with his large and intimidating physique.

"Ummm… are you talking about this?" Korra lifted up the flier they got from the protester and handed it over to the guard. After seeing the flier, the guard's face took a complete 180 degree change as he smiled back at the three.

"Welcome brother and sister! Come in!" And with that the first step is complete.

Korra and Mako pumped their fist in excitement at being able to get in smoothly but they soon regained their bearing when they saw Jiran completely calm, which made them ashamed of their childish attitude.

In the abandoned warehouse, the three of them saw a lot of people, and I mean a lot. The entire place was filled with non-benders which just shows how much oppression is happening here in the city against non-benders.

This discrimination has been present ever since the appearance of benders, those who can't bend will always be oppressed while those that can will always oppress. That's how the hierarchy has been, that's why you don't see a lot of people in the government that aren't benders, not just in the government but any position of power.

"I know a lot of people hated benders but I didn't think it would be this lot" Mako muttered looking at the huge gathering earning Jiran and Korra's nod.

"Bolin is here right?" Mako asked hesitantly. Which made Jiran speak.

"If those indeed were equalist then somewhere here your brother is being kept, just keep your eyes peeled open"

Then as the two coversed the voice of the announcer rang.

[Please welcome your hero! Your Savior! AMON!] And from the stage, Amon appeared on a levitating platform making his entrance a bit majestic.

Behind him are six chi-blockers all of which had their hands on their back looking menacingly while Amon stood in the middle of the six with the same posture but with more gait.

He was wearing a mask with a big red dot on its forehead adding more to his intimidating factor.

Amon walked up to the mic and then spoke, silencing the people.

"My quest for equality began many years ago"

"when I was a boy my family lived in a verysmall farm. We weren't rich, and none of us were benders." The crowd listened attentively at each of his words.

"This made us very easy targets for the firebender who extorted my father."

"One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did, that firebender took my family from me.

"Then, he took my face." The crowd gasps in astonishment; making them look at the mask on his face.

"I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since."

"As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City."

Korra and Mako look down as the crowd boos; Korra hides her face in Mako's red scarf that she's wearing, while Jiran remains steadfast, cold and unvoluting as ever attentively listening to each of Amon's words.

"And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world. But, she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought to the world, is suffering."

Amon repeatedly points into the audience

"It has been the cause of every war in every era." In the audience, Korra grits her teeth in anger.

"But that is about to change."

"I know you have been wondering."

"What is the Revelation?"

"You are about to get your answer." Korra and Mako exchange a worried glance.

"Since the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me." Amon opened his arms as if to proclaim himself as messiah.

"They say the Avatar has failed humanity." Declared Amon.

Korra sports a look of anger at Amon's accusative words.

"That is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance."

"They have granted me a power that will make Equality a reality."

"The power to take a person's bending away."

"Permanently."

The audience gasps. Cut to a close-up of Kora's eyes widening in horror.

"That's impossible… there's no way…" Korra muttered.

"This guy's insane." Mako said, not believing Amon's bullshit while Jiran remained silent, as if scheming.

"Now for a demonstration, please welcome Lightning Bolt Zolt." Then Amon's henchman brought a guy to the stage along with four other guys. Upon seeing the hostages, Jiran sighed, and under his breath he muttered 'Thank god there's no innocent child taken', he was more relief that there was no innocent young one caught instead of Bolin.

"Leader of the Triple Threat Triads and one of the most notorious criminals of republic city" Amon declared.

BOOO! BOO!

The crowd booed Zolt's appearance which made the latter bitter.

"Ohh boo yourself!"

"There's Bolin!" Korra said seeing Bolin among the four other guys.

Korra was about to dash forward and take action but before she could even make a step, Mako grabbed her shoulder and said.

"Wait. There's a lot of them. We need to approach this smartly."

"Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing non-benders but his reign of terror will come to an end."

"Now in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending." Then he gestured at the one holding Zolt releasing the said man.

Immediately after being released, Zolt sported a look of arrogance, a testament to his ugly character.

"You're gonna regret doing that pal!" He started launching fireballs at Amon.

FWISHH!

FWISHHH!

He launched two fireballs but Amon managed to dodged adeptly.

He kept on firing flames at the latter but Amon was agile, being able to dodge all of it in a stylish manner while at the same time closing their distance.

Having enough of his flame dodge, Lightning Bolt Zolt showed where he got his nickname and started performing an up and down gesture with his hands resembling that of a martial arts generating lightning bolt from his finger tip.

"HIYA!" He pointed his lightning charged finger at Amon launching a stream of lightning in the air towards his direction.

But alas, it was useless as Amon dodged once again and successfully maneuvered in front of him. He immediately grabbed his wrist and redirected his aim and then he subjugated the guy and touched his forehead with his finger.

Soon the lightning streaming out of his finger weakened to strand, then to flame, and then finally into nothing.

"My bending! Where's my bending!"

The crowd gasped in disbelief.
