Trust(11)

The Fire Ferrets entered the game poorly, but in the end, Korra pulled an amazing move to win the game.

After the game, we all went to a restaurant to celebrate the win. The awkward atmosphere was still there but it died down a lot from before. We laughed, we cheered, we sang, it was a wonderful night.

The next morning I was in my workshop when Master Wu came.

"Good morning master, to what do I owe this pleasure. I hope this time you bring good news."

"You could say that... I'm here about a mission."

"I don't do missions anymore. I'm retired, I only teach recruits now."

"I know that and Amon knows that, but we really could use your help. Something big is going down and we could use you and Nya. Even though you don't take part in missions anymore your skills haven't rusted, I could say that you improved a lot, it might be because you finally grew up or all this time spend training recruits helped you chisel your skills but I can see improvement in your technic. Bottom line is that we need you for this."

"Huh... If you need me it means something really big will go down. Can you tell me?"

"We are going to attack the Pro-Bending Championship finals."

"Well, that's a good idea if I ever heard one, and I suppose that Amon isn't planning to do this quietly is he?"

"No, he isn't he will announce it on the radio tomorrow."

"Huh... Now I see why he need me and Nya, he needs all the chi blockers he can find. Goddamit this isn't going to be easy is it?"

"No... Listen we really need your help and..."

"Stop right there, I'm in."

"You are? Why? Didn't you say it was a bad idea?"

"From a tactical standpoint it's a horrible one, but from a revolutionary one, it's brilliant. It's not going to be easy by any means but I know it's a good move on Amon's part and I know that by doing this the finals security is going to be air-tight. We are not talking about only more guards, we are talking about possibly the RCPD special metal-bending unit. I'll talk with Nya about this, she isn't going to be happy but I'll do my best to convince her."

"It means a lot to me that you want to come back into action, I know after the incident with your grandma's killer you haven't been open to the idea of going back in the field. Thank you, Ethan!"

"There is no need for that, you know that I care about the cause, and you master, I wouldn't let you go alone on this mission, somebody needs to watch your back. About me coming back in the field, don't get your hopes up, I'm not fully committed to going back in just yet, baby steps."

"I know, I know, I'm just happy that you are on board with this and all. It sounds suicidal and it's a big thing for you to come back, I just didn't want to happen under such circumstances..."

"If you are ever in need master you can count on me. As long as it doesn't conflict with my moral code that is."

"I know I can count on you. See you tonight at the gathering place to talk about the details."

That night I went to Future Industries and took Nya. Before we went to the meeting with the Equalist we went to eat and I told her about what I talked about with Wu.

"So we just do what they tell us."

"Exactly!"

"Do you have a plan?"

"Of course I do, I always have a plan, this time is no different."

"So, come on tell me."

"It's simple, we just follow their plan."

"WHAT? So you plan to do nothing?"

"More or less. Look Nya, Master Wu didn't tell me or he probably doesn't realize this himself but Amon is testing us. We still don't have a reason to show him that we change sides and besides, if they are going to do what I think they will, we don't have to worry about Mako, Bolin, or Korra."

"Great! So you are telling me that there is no plan. Why are we even talking about it?"

"You wanted me to tell you everything I can about the situation. I'm here telling you. Besides, it's not like I'll do nothing, I'll tell Korra to be vigilant."

We get there and listened to the plan. It was simple, there was a ground team and an air team. Nya and I were ground team since we could easily get into the stadium. After we learned about the team, we were introduced to our teammates. They look very excited to see us. While I recognized some of them because I taught them there were some new faces within the group.

We made the plan and what part each of us would play in it. Made is a strong word since the plan was given to us by Amon, we only discussed the details. The two of us were to take care of the special benders like the RCPD metal-bending squad, the avatar, and such targets.

The plan was for a few people to take the suits in and before the match starts to distribute them, for each section of the stadium four people bought in the suits. We left just as dawn arrived, while Nya called her boss and told him that she's sick, while I went to talk with Korra.

I told Korra about Amon's plan to attack the finals and that I would be there as well. I told her to be careful and that Amon was going to announce this on the radio at noon so she shouldn't make any move till then, she was reluctant at first I managed to convince her to not talk about this with anyone, at least for the moment.
