chapter 23

Bolin looked to the sky and yelled into his microphone "with the power of airbending even this beast can float like a feathe, look what can be done in only a few short weeks of practice" bumi started showing off his skills.

Jinora flew over the crowd with her glider and bolin said the working crowd "don't be worried she may be young but she's in full control" jinora landed on top of a nearby fountain.

The crowd started applauding then bolin gave his finale speech "if you or anyone you know is an airbender please send them your way, master tenzin and avatar korra would love to teach them all they know"

Bolin pointed at the said pair who waved and smiled. The crowd dispersed then a little boy ran up to us with his medium length hair blowing in the wind then said "if you're looking for airbenders you've found one"

He gave a little demonstration then said "I want to join you guys" bolin said with his big mustache "get outta town"

Korra said happily to tenzin "we got our first recruit"

Korra said to this kid "just to be clear, we're going to be headed to ba sing se, then the northern Air temple to live as nomads, is that clear" this kid replied with a shrug and some half hearted words "yeah ba sing se, rebuild the temple, Air nomad waddyodo, I'm in let's go right now"

Bolin was about to speak but I cut him off before he started yapping "why do you have a backpack full of gold and precious gems"

"Uh, what are you talking about" the kid said and I noticed some sweat building up on his face. Before he could react I grabbed the backpack off him with the help of my stand but the others couldn't tell.

I opened the bag for the others. Tenzin said "how could you tell" and I replied "I have developed a crude form of seismic sense and I could feel the gold and jewels, also I could feel this kid lying, but he is an airbender so I'd don't care"

I handed tenzin the bag but then 6 men on motorcycles rode up. The one I assumed their leader drove close to us and said "release the boy or we take him by force"

"You seem like a reasonable man, how about you take the gold and leave the boy with us" I said while keeping my hand over my revolver.

I noticed his hand moving to his side too. I looked down and saw the 1911, he said "if that's how this is gonna be, that's how it's gonna be"

I said like a gunslinger "I suggest a dual only with our guns, to the death, if I win I get the boy and you're team gets the gold, if you win you get the boy and gold"

"Agreed, you hear this boys if he kills me don't take revenge" the sheriff while turning to his deputies.

"You can count down, on 0 we draw and shoot, make sure everyone is outta the way" I said then shooed away my group he did the same with his crew.

The sheriff counted down, I knew he might cheat so I had my stand grabbing my gun "3...2....1.....0" we drew our weapons but I drew mine faster even without my stand then shot him in his neck.

He was still alive somwhow, only because I let him be. My crew had their jaws dropped the entire time. I said "what are you guys staring at"

Korra pointed at my left arm. I looked down and saw a puddle of crimson red blood leaking from my left arm. I said harshly "dammit, got a little risky, maybe I should've and went straight for the head"

The deputies were tending to their sheriff who was bearly holding on. My crew left on our air ship, korra started water healing my leg.

I was a metal bender so it was easy to take the bullet out of my leg. I guess I've built up a pain tolerance form all the injuries I've aquired. It wasn't long before I could walk around again.

Kai walked up to me and said "sir, thank you for saving me, my names Kai by the way" "nobody cares dipshit" I responded blaming him for my limp worsening, kai walked away with jinora and bumi.

Now both of my legs limped, well my left one had the worse injury so it had the limp. My right leg had to keep up the lack of my left leg. I'm confusing myself with limps, I was in the main hall and then I stumbled to a seat.

By this point zaheer has freed that one armless lady and gazhan. If the timeline stayed the same which somethings have and somethings haven't.

Tenzin said jinora was training Kai and bumi on the top deck and that I should join them but just observe. I stumbled up to the top deck and found bumi on the floor being helped up by Jinora and Kai.

I walked over to them and said "I could beat you three, jinora, bumi, and Kai all by myself in this condition, also with no gun or earthbending"

Jinora said "I don't think you should be fighting in that condition" Kai nodded then bumi said "it's fine, we need to teach this little bugger a lesson"

Bumi hit his fist into his plam then we all squared up. We went in a circle then bumi launched an attack.

He sent out a powerful gust of wind. I knew I could win this, they wouldn't attack my legs.

Kai tried to sweep my leg with an air gust at the same time.

I jumped over bumis atrack then trusted my legs down to knock Kai out. That attack was fueled by my rage towards him. I went down on the ground which hurt like a bitch.

I overexgerated my pain so they would come over and try to help me up.

As jinora approached I rolled backwards and sent a strong gust of wind at bumi through my legs. As jinora tried too block my attack on bumi I sent a strong air whip at her.

She managed to avoid my attack but not save bumi. I didn't say anything about using my stand. I made a reflective peice of glass then put it at an angle so it would blind jinora.

My stand could do this from range so shoe didn't see anything. The range was only 2 meters for this but it still worked. I sent an extremely strong gust of wind at her, my stand blinding her made her react late and I knocked her over.

Korra was watching from the sidelines and she yelled "Damm good job jojo" korra walked over and said "you've met the earth queen right" I nodded and said "Yes, if you're asking what she's like, we'll she's quite demanding and I don't know how how to describe her really"

Bolin screamed from up the stairs leading to a small viewing platform "look, look mako this is where dad grew up" Mako replied "I see it, I see it"

We went over the lower ring of Ba Sing Se and everyone covered their noses but I had been here before so I didn't mind it. Bolin said "no wonder dad left, I can smell it from here"

We flew over the middle ring and it was a major improvement from the lower ring. We soon entered the inner ring with only held the palace and a few guest buildings, also some airship docking areas.

The palace shined it's golden hue. I said to myself "Ba Sing Se, greatest shithole and home of my greatest customer" in only a few days this place would be up in flames.

The airship docked and we walked down the ramp of the massive airship. An old man I'd seen next to the earth queen last time I visited. The old man bowed and said "Avatar korra, master tenzin, Mr. Beifong, it is a pleasure to welcome you and your party to the upper ring of Ba Sing Se, I'm grand secretariat Guin"

Korra bowed back in respect then said "thank you" bolin walked beside Guin and took in a hearty breath then said while exhaling "ahhh, it's got that upper ring smell"

Guin said in a panic "oh no, the queen hates animals, we've got to get them out of sight" bolin replied "well, I can just stash Pabu in my shirt, these two are gonna be a little tougher" bolin gave a slight nod too Naga and the air Bison.

"Come with me, hurry I'll take you to your quarter's" Guin said while walking lastly away from us.

I tried to keep up with Guin and the rest of the group but I had two bad legs. I could still hear their conversations, gui just talked and talked about how you should respect the queen and how to bow. Yadda yadda.

We arrived at the quarters, actually they arrived at the quarters. Korra walked past me with Guin leading her some where. As I walked past her I said "the earth queen had a prison full if airbenders underneath her palace, she's making an army of airbenders"

This may or may not have of been true. I stumbled in the fancey house we'd call home for a few days. They were looking for Kai, he probably stole from the wrong person no he's in prison airbender prison or not.

Mako said "He probably was waiting for an opportunity to get away from us, does everyone have their wallets."

Bolin said worried "he's probably lost and scared" tenzin replied "he is a little boy and he's our responsibility, besides he's the only airbender we've recruited so far, we can't lose him"

Mako said reluctantly "fine, me and bolin will find him" I knew where he would probably end up but I didn't want mako and bolins family to die in the fall of Ba Sing Se.

It was a pretty chil day in Ba Sing Se, while everyone was having quarrels with the earth queen or stuck in the slums if the city I was just eating fruit in a cozy bed. This was a nice change from leading rebbelions or getting shot in the leg.

I went to sleep cozy in my bed, all snuggled warm in the cold room. I woke up, P'li was probaly just broken free. I can fix her I promise 😭🙏.

It was a normal day, I went down to the hall of the house and found everyone having a meeting without me.

Tenzin said "I can't believe the earth queen is conscription earth benders" korra saw me stumble down the stairs and said "jojo, looks like you we're right, she was making an army of airbenders, how did you know?"

"I have seismic sense, I could feel people underground being forced to train" I said almost falling down the last step but I caught myself on the railing. Then korra said "I still can't believe she Is forcing those people into her army"

Bumi said "Well technically, the earth queen has a right to conscript her citizens👆 🤓" everyone stared at bumi including me

Then jinora said "what if Kai was spotted airbending, he might have been taken away too" bolin offered a rebuttal "probably not, he's surprisingly hard to catch, like a-like a little greased hog monkey"

"It wouldn't be hard too kidnap anyone when you have a gun" I said reminding everyone that I am currently shipping guns to the earth queen.

This made jinora panic even more, korra walked over and bent over to talk with jinora on eye level "dont worry jinora we'll find him" I couldn't help but take a glance at that fine ass. This world wasn't animated anymore it was real all the people and the objects.

I would give glance but I'm not getting involved in the love triangle, no love decohedron. It s a mess. The creators of the show focused to much on the romantic relationships in the series especially season 1 and 2.

. Tenzin said "jojo, you said you could feel the airbenders underneath the ground, in what general area"

"Around the earth queens temple" I said
