Chapter 121: Plans

~Tatsumi POV~

Good grief the damage here is really something.

Although I'm more surprised by the mere fact that Ruby somehow created a cult of her… reminds me of a certain Ugandan spitting nuisance in the past.

Still though fixing up the damage done here is still something I had to fix on my time for the downtown streets of Republic City considering some racist assholes had the great idea of attacking this place.

Makes me want to bully their leader but the info I got from them is I need to nip the bud of their investors first. The political leaders I don't really care much as they can't fight to defend themselves and have to ensure their own safety.

Hiroshi Sato would have to either die or two be knocked out for the remainder of his time here in Republic City. Taking him out would lead to his loss of steampunk mechas he has made to support the Equalist.

Repairing the city was done with as I swat the sweat from my face using [Overhaul] and Alchemy to repair everything as I spoke, "Whew. There done and done. That should be all the repairs from the fight."

With repairs done I returned inside the TTT base as I see everyone was fine and taking care of their wounds. Seems like the Equalist managed to get some good things the medicine created here from Dorothea's research is having an effect on their body's recovery speeds.

Glancing around I see Kaina helping others as I asked her where was the other two in a curious tone, "Hello Kaina. Any idea where Ruby and Saeko are at? I haven't been able to find them?"

Replying to my question while she took the time to glance in my direction saying, "They are in the back helping others. The men sure look like they love it having beautiful girls helping them. Hehe."

Smirking a bit I couldn't disagree with their thoughts on that. I mean if you have two cute girls or hotties treating you I wouldn't complain much about it.

Interrupting my thoughts though Kaina asked me in a serious tone of her voice has a certain edge, "Although… I would really prefer to hurt these Equalist back though. Even though they are protesting this crosses the line of terrorism."

On that, I whole heartily believe and that's why I'm itching to have a little payback on them for this stunt. While these criminals here are not my own I have a tendency to screw people over who they think they can fuck with me or my crew.

It was at this moment I replied to Kaina about what we needed to do next before doing anything else as I respond, "The next step is to take down their investors. Their electric buttons and gloves tell someone intelligent is supporting them. And there could only be on the person who could provide the needs and smarts to create – "

"You are talking about Hiroshi Sato right?"

Interrupting me I turned around to see Viper and his crew listen in to my words as I glanced towards him as I gave a slight nod asking for a reason, "Yeah. Unless you fellas happen to know anyone talented enough for this generation to provide the needs to supply to terrorists?"

Viper takes a thinking pose as he seems to realize something as he responds thinking of his conclusion of his, "No… actually yes. It makes sense why he has a thing for benders. Didn't think…"

Leaving in silence Kaina asked raising her eyebrow at this while Ruby and Saeko finally came along listening in to this conversation, "Tell us Viper-san. What exactly does this Hiroshi Sato have in mind against benders?"

Like that he began to tell us what he knows about the guy from his intel working here.

Explaining what he knew Viper eventually gave us the same details about how I knew of Saito from the Equalist.

What I didn't know was that when Saito eventually met Yasuko, whom he married, they had a daughter named Asami together in 152 AG. However, six years later, his wife was killed by a member of the Agni Kai Triad after they broke in and robbed the Sato estate.

With this info, I can see how his lines of vengeance respond well to the Equality groups… his hate and vengeance for his wife… This led to his extreme hatred of all benders and convinced him to join Amon's Equalists in secret.

That is not a very good thing to have with a guy like him.

Viper even explained to us how his corporation Future Industries was created giving us all he knew.

…

…

In 138 AG, a wealthy businessman invested in Hiroshi Sato's idea of automobiles for the common man. With that money, the eighteen-year-old Hiroshi was able to build a factory, thus marking the inception of his company, Future Industries.

His endeavors in further developing the company were successful, and the industry soon began manufacturing Satomobiles, expanding his factory to a true business empire.

Future Industries is a large business conglomerate founded by Hiroshi Sato and owned by his daughter, Asami Sato. Using state-of-the-art technology and innovative ideas such as the assembly line, the factory produces over one hundred luxury Satomobiles on a daily basis. Despite high demand, Future Industries' only known competitor is Cabbage Corp, which produces the cheaper, more compact Cabbage Car.

Hiroshi Sato realized that not everyone in Republic City would be able to afford their own Satomobile and so, for those less wealthy, he developed the taxi cab as a way to get around. Aside from being a practical and cheap means of transportation, cabs are also suitable for romantic rides.

As well as producing cars for the common man, Hiroshi Sato also designed a race car. As the ultimate transportation method for thrill-seekers, the sleek design and high-powered engine enable the car to reach top speeds while smoothly maneuvering its way around a racetrack.

Hearing of his feats and everything we stood in silence before Ruby replied about this mixed of opinions of this, "That's so sad… to have that much hatred in him and to follow this path he took… After hearing all he did –"

Interrupting her was Kaina as she closed her eyes as I sensed her emotions making Ruby go quiet listening to this, "I understand. I can see why he chose this because if I were in his shoes I would've done the same to get back at the person who wronged me."

Glancing over to her as she opens her eyes Kaina also replied with a determined expression crossing her arms below her chest, "But...! What's he doing causing more pain like this and in the future blinded by his hate… He needs to stop this before he really hurts people. A cycle of hate never really ends."

Nodding on that we can agree on.

Viper with the rest of his men next to him began to ask us what to do as he waited for a response from us, "Sir… what should the TTT do about this guy? I mean we maybe are criminals but if Saito is really with those terrorist Equalist… we maybe are the bad guys, crooks, and criminals but this is our home."

I guess even villains and crooks have soft spots of their place of origin at times. Although I do have some plans in mind now that the Equalist issue has presented itself I have to personally take care of this.

Replying to Viper ensuring to ease his worrying I replied to him in an honest tone, "In that case, us four will do something about it. No doubt he has a secret base or two in his home to deliver the goods to his clients. If not will search the whole Republic City for them but first I need you to defend this place."

Viper looked confused before Saeko responded the reason why as he gets ready to lock down on his turf, "If these Equalist are armed with more than those shock gloves and sticks what else could they have in stock? Better to plate the base in case something were to happen like perchance a civil revolutionary war."

Their eyes widen at such an idea as Viper got the grasp of the situation as he thinks carefully about his next steps as he turns around and orders his men, "Members of TTT! As of this moment be sure to prepare for a civil war or worse in the coming days. If what is said is true from the boss Tat and queens. Then prepare what you have but if we're lucky we may have been too cautious hopefully… NOW MOVE IT!"

"YES VIPER SIR!!"

That certainly got them to move as I glanced at Viper why trust us that much as I spoke curious at him, "Say not to discourage you of this but why place your trust in our words so far? I mean we did bully you to follow us and all? So –"

Again being interrupted Viper began to reply why the level of trust as he responded, "Simple. What you said did make sense. But the question would be how much and when did Saito ally himself to the Equalist. Although the chances are unlikely I would rather have my boys at the ready in case the worst happens. No way those Terrorist fucks will take our homeland."

Whoa…

And here I thought he was an afraid coward guess I was mistaken.

But still though at least we have a goal in mind of what to do next and that is to make sure Saito is out of commission for a while.
