chapter 9

We drove and drove then arrived at my abandoned factory that I entered and used illegally. I just stared at the factory even when they said get out or aren't you coming.

I got out and walked to around to the side where the entrance was located, she unlocked the door and we walked in then said "I own this factory but we haven't hired a guard for the place so there might be some squatters"

We all walked in and everyone's jaw dropped but mine, they saw the massive holes in the ground from my sulfur bombs and my equipment. There was a chalk bored and it had the recipe for thermite, Asami walked over and examined it then turned around and looked at me "tell me you didn't use this factory illegally"

Mako turned to me and Asami just glared then I said confidently "I think that we are even because I saved the avatar and my invention is keeping your company alive" her face lightend a little.

I fixed the floor with a slide of my feet, "problem solved, plus I own this place now, I just need some machinery and some supplies" Asami replied "Ok, I will send it here and you can set it up" we toured the factory a little more then we went back to the car.

"I will send some people over, the materials required, and the machines remember the time I won't say it again, 10 pm" Asami said as she waved me goodbye, I walked into my house it was late probably 11 pm maybe 10.

I walked in and went to sleep with no troubles from lin.

I woke up and headed to works which was like yesterday but today I was called to stop a gang war, I walked away from my desk and into an elevator. Some other metal benders and other policemen and policewoman were also headed up to the roof which held the air ships.

We all stood there for a moment, the elevator doors had opened and we all walked out. I walked towards the air ship and so did some other's, I noticed mako loading onto the same ship. The metal ramp clanked and creaked as I walked on it, I wasn't fat actually the opposite but the metal was of poor quality.

I walked to the side of the ship and stood over the railing, we arrived over the gang war. I expected some people shooting back and forth because I forgot those didn't exist, yet. The benders redirected there attention to us, I was not permitted to kill, but there were exceptions.

I jumped off the airship and I attached one of my metal cables to the railing I was once leaning against. The other benders were there just in case but us metal benders were the shock troops. I was the first one on the ground, most of this sides triads turned there attention to me but a few kept on assaulting the other side.

I sent a shock wave through the ground which knocked down a few of them, the other metal benders swooped down and brought them back up into the airship. A few more metal benders came down surrounding this side of the gang war. They outnumbered us 3:1 but we had more skill and me.

I sent Mosaic out and my stand let out a wide burst of glass shards, the 20 give or take gang members all let out a scream and fell on the ground. Lin came down and started ordering people around, I arrested some of the gangsters.

I put the gangsters in a cell and reported back to the others. The airship flew back to headquarters and docked, I got off and then went down the elevator and into the level that held the police chief's office. Everyone who was on the ground had to give a report so there was a few others that I knew like Mako.

We just sat until lin called us in for our report and recollection of the events, it was alphabetical so I was called third. I walked into her office and then sat down. I started my report "I jumped off the side of the airship and attached myself to it with the cables then I touched the ground and then sent a shockwave through the earth that knocked a few of the triads over"

I paused then started again "some of the other metal benders who just arrived swooped down and brought the knocked out triads to the air ship the others finally arrived and I had some backup right as I was about to incapacitate the triads they all just got cut to ribbion and started bleeding every where"

She was writing this down the entire time then said "the other two said the same thing about the triads and how they got cut to ribbons, most of them are in the hospital, now get out, Horki your next"

I walked out and Horki walked in, the day passed fast then I returned home with lin, along the way I asked "how do you think those triads got cut up, they all just started groaning in pain in an instant then I noticed the cuts with blood flowing from them"

"I don't know we're still looking into it, our best guess is that an earth bender threw glass shards at an extremely fast speed but that just doesn't add up" lin said confused. We arrived home around 8:30 so I had an hour and thirty minutes to arrive at the factory, but it's a hour and twenty minute walk.

I dashed out the door and started running. My breath caught up with me and I leaned over and started weezing. I started walking after a fee moments of rest, my soon to be factory was only 20 minutes away.

I arrived at the front gates of my factory and unlocked the door with the key Asami gave me. The gate was big enough for a semi to fit in so doubted that the viechle wouldn't fit.

The place was pretty much empty only a few tables and shelves, things most people didn't pay much mind. Asami had a list of all the materials I needed so I might be able to start making rifles tomorrow or tonight.

A big truck drove slowly around the corner but stopped a little away then the man got out and walked over to me. He said gruffly "you the guy that owns this place, if you are open the door" and I responded "Yes I do indeed own the place, I will open the door sir"

I opened the door wide then he got back in his truck and drove over and slowly turned it around then backed up and drove in. He hooked out and so did another man who was in the passenger seat.

They opened up the back and lowered the ramp, we all worked together to unload the machines and set them up. We lined up some conveyor belts, they soon left and the old man who I first talked too said "you will do mighty fine in whatever business you partake in, most people your age are rude and ill mannered but your different" but I had no supplies which left me confused, then another truck different people though came in.

Asami never said anything about multiple trucks, for a moment I thought they were gonna try and incapacitate me then take my liver but these guys had the supplies. They said they would come back every 14 days.
