Avatar: Terror Of The Red Spirit

Chapter 22 - Wreck the Takers

"Well then...sorry to bother you your Lordship." And so Kuro and Shuin walked out of the hall and went to the Shuin's house.

Late in the night...

After fully discussing where the criminals were, Kuro was now getting dressed for the occasion.

He wore full black pants and a black tunic, the he placed chainmail vest on his torso and then over the chainmail he wore a black lamellar c.h.e.s.tplate (the one with rectangle pattern like samurai armour); he wore black boots with iron plating on the part of the foot where laces would be. And finally he wore a black cloak that covered his entire body and comes with a hood; he puts on a red mask with the face of a red demon smiling (the mask on the cover).

On his waist he had two Chinese Dao swords both on each of his side hanging inside their leather sheaths.

How did Kuro get most of this? He stole them from a local blacksmith and the mask from a street vendor whilst he got the pants, tunic, cloak from Shuin's wardrobe.

Now that he knew where the bastard Takers where he can now head off and rescue his brother and slaughter them on his way there.

Meanwhile...

In Huai's throne room all the guards were dismissed and only four people were inside. One obviously being Huai and the other three some random people dressed in fancy white clothing. But what this? Huai was bowing before the man in the middle between the other two girls dressed white; Huai literally stepped out of his throne and bowed in front of the man.

"Greets Lord Sealer Tai! This little one is happy to see you. I didn't know hat Lord would come at this time. Excuse my rudness!"

"It's alright. Stand up Mayor Huai I have some matters to discuss with you." The man dressed in white robes was in his early 30s but looked like in his late twenties ; half his hair was white while the rest of it was black; his eyes were menacing purple. He did not seem human rather he seemed something beyond, something transcendent.

Huai stood up,"Yes."

"My Master Lord Chi Long is asking you to hurry up with the production of Sarti. He is bestowing you the time span of two weeks to deliver 100 tons." said Sealer Tai coldly as he gave Huai a threatening look.

"What!?" Shouted Huai unconsciously without even realising before covering his mouth looking slightly shocked.

"Is there a problem with that?" asked Sealer Tai.

"No! No! It's just that Gravelside usually only produces about 40 tons of Sarti in a span of two weeks; I don't know if I'm capable of meeting the demand with the current state of my workforce." Huai said as he looked down.

"I see...Well then I'll discuss with Master Chi Long about sending extra muscle over to yours but then you'll have to meet the demand." said Sealer Tai which made Huai smile, "But if you still fail then...Gravelside will be nothing but ashes." as Sealer Tai said that Huai had a look of horror.

"No! I guarantee I will meet the demand by then if Lord Chi Long only grants me some help." said Huai trying to get on Sealer Tai's good side before lookig at the two girls beside Sealer Tai, " Who are these esteemed ones Lord Sealer Tai, may you introduce them to me."

"Sure...Mei! Dei! Why don't you greet Mayor Huai" he alerted the two girls.

"Mei." The girl on his left stepped forward and made a bow she wore a plain white robe with massive long sleeves with pink ring on the cuff, the robe reached her white sandles. On the robe edge where both sides met was a pink line on each side and she wore a pink belt. She had long black hair that reached her shoulders and a cold blank look plastered on her face. When she spoke ehr name she said it emotionlessly.

"Dei!" The girl on Sealer Tai's right stepped forward next to Mei and she too bowed. She was dressed in a white robe that reached her white sandals, her robe had pink flowers littered all around her robe making it look stunning, she had a white belt instead of a pink. She had long black hair that too reached her shoulders and she had the same face like Mei as if they were twins. When Dei spoke she had a very excited happy voice.

"This is Mei and Dei they are my disciples and they are twins and they are 18 years old. Both these girls are prodogies and Master Chi Long gave me the task to teach them personally. I have to say both of them are fun to teach but enough about that. And also...don't think about touching these girls," said Sealer Tai as he noticed Huai having a dirty expression as he looked at his disciples," They can hurt you really bad."

Huai awakened from his daydreams of...well nothing good of mentioning. He lost his composure for a second but quickly regained it.

"Lord Sealer Tai I have someone you would like to see." And so Huai told him about the brothers and about Lu Ten, telling him he's a firebender and an outsider that tried to disrupt their business of mining Sarti.

"I see so two fire nation sc.u.m in your own city,take me to him."

With Lu Ten...

Lu Ten was still jailed inside a stone prison somewhere he didn't know, it was very dark here and there were no windows.

He heard someone coming. Lu Ten managed to burn the cloth around his mouth and nothing was in the way though he did get burnt by the fire but he's still fine; now his mouth was free so now he can use fire from his mouth and with that he will attack who ever is keeping him here and take their key so that he can free himself and then run away.

Creak!

The metallic door has opened and came a man shilloute dressed in white; Lu Ten then breathed fire out of his mouth trying to attack the man that just came in. The man managed to dodge the initial attack but then Lu Ten would steer to the direction of the man. The man stopped and took out what seemed like a rectangular piece of paper; when Lu Ten's fire struck the paper the paper started absorbing his fire.

Lu Ten tried attacking many times with different attacks in different areas where the man seemed defenceless but the man would always use the paper to absorb his fire, lightning and he couldn't combust as his mouth would get seriously damaged.

The man arrived before him and Lu Ten couldn't react fast enough as the man placed a piece of paper on top of his head and now he couldn't move.

"You're probably wondering what happened to you Fire Nation Sc.u.m aren't you? Well I used a paralysis talisman to stop you from doing anything. And how did I stop your attacks? I used the fire eater talisman which feeds endlessly on fire until it runs out." The man stood above the flat on the ground Lu Ten, it was Sealer Tai.

"What will happen to you I bet you are saying right now. Fire Nation Sc.u.m I hate your blood and guts very much I'd make you Spirit food but instead I'll turn you into a puppet that'll humiliate you for the rest of your life. I'll make you suffer longer than just an instant."

"Have you apprehended him?" asked Huai.

"Yes."

"What now?"

"I'll send him off to the headquarters where he'll be experimented on and used as a slave but I'll stay here for an extra day here. I need to rest before heading out." Sealer Tai said that as he added a talisman paper on top of Lu Ten's head and it wrote (奴) which meant slave (in chinese).

Back with Kuro...

He was standing in the middle of the night at the front of a massive three story building, it was in the style of chinese architecture with the building roof having tiles that go down and at the edge they curve. This place was a popular bar called 'The GentleDrunk'. In actuality this place was s.e.x trafficking, drug trafficking and slave trafficking. The first floor was a normal bar, the second floor seemed like a normal bar but secretly the waiters and few gangsters would be enticing drunks to try drugs. The third floor was for the rich guys as in actuality the top floor was a Brothel. The Last floor was actuality beneath the first floor and only the members of the criminal underworld could enter and inside there they helped prepare the slaves for the auctions that happen every month when business men, nobles, rich kids and many powerful characters meet and hold a slave auction.

Kuro learned this from Shuin who also learnt it today from a friend working in here. Too bad this friend will be dying today.

Kuro walks inside the GentleDrunk very calmly and opens the door. Inside it was still lively as there were many men partying inside, the spirit was high and happy as the men cheered, danced and laughed as they raised their mugs.

The high spirits stop as they notice a masked demonic looking man cloaked in black, you can hear swords and the chainmail making a Ting sound as he takes a step. Every man feelt weirded out by this freak.

"Everyone here who is NOT a TAKER GET OUT!!!" roared Kuro loudly in a low voice.

"What do you mean you c.o.c.ky little bastard!" said a buff guy dressed in green and brown as he walks up to Kuro in an intimidating fashion. Only to his face slammed multiple times on a wodden table till he's half dead but definitely brain dead.

This action certainly makes the non gangsters run away from the bar whilst all the takers in the first floor remain.

"Good said Kuro as he starts slaughtering them one by one at very fast speeds with his swords. No one could outrun him. No one could overpower him. No one could outsmart him as whatever tactic they tried it did not work.

WAA!AAH!RAH!HAHA! UAAAH!

Screams of horror rung out all the way to the second floor which scared most people, finally someone had the balls to go downstairs and check what's happening. What they find is terrifying as blood covered most of the floor and walls; guts and flesh littered the ground and limbs were scattered few places.All they saw was corpses and corpses stacked on one another as there was a demon standing before him.

"Taker or No Taker?" he asked with a low voice.

"No Taker! No Taker!" the man screamed out hurriedly.

"Then get the hell out of here!" he shouted back and so the man ran off in fear.

'There's gotta be a better way to identify them...wait a second all their hands have rings so that's how you identify them. They are one of those gangs huh!'

AHHH! MY ARM! OHHH! YOWW!

And so Kuro headed to the second floor and started slaughtering all the men with rings whilst leaving the rest all bloodied from all the fighting around them.

HIS HEAD! MOTHERF-AHHH! HELP!

He headed to the third floor that was guarded by Takers which he slaughtered and killed all the takers there and leaving the women and rest of the men bloodied too as Kuro's sword fighting was really gruesome that some of the people vomited.

Then he found another door that was also guarded by more tougher Takers and found stairs leading downstairs, this must be the entrance to that other level underground. That's probably where the boss resided was what Kuro thought and he was correct the boss was sitting on a chair as he loved watching the slaves resist enslavement.

Here in this one massive underground room was where all the last surviving Takers crowd like a school of fish; there were between 30 - 50 of them as Kuro saw them he was smiling under the mask.

On one side he saw all the Takers on one side and the slaves on the other which was easier to distinguish between enemies and the innocent.

"No need to hold back!!! HAH! HA!" shouted the boss with excitment as he saw a slave being whipped by one of his men. The takers were all paying attention on the show and not on the demon that has just arrived.

Kuro looked at all the slaves lined up there were about 20 of them but none of them were his brother.

'My brother isn't here...that sunuva bitch! I'll still kill the takers."

Kuro threw his sword at that one taker that was whipping a shirtless slave and managed to pierce his head.

"What! Intruder!? GET HIM!! KILL HIM AND RIP HIS HEAD OFF!!" said the boss as he was very furious.

Many men with swords, spears, cudgels, halberds, bow and arrows attacked simultaneously but Kuro smiled as instead of slashing them with his swords instead he used his firebending.

He conjured a massive wave of fire that swallowed whole the crowd of sc.u.m and started to burn the living heck till their bodies turn to ash; only the boss and the slaves were left unscathed though the room did become very hot that they too would burn up.

"What!" shouted the boss as the tried to run but was stopped by Kuro who had a sword against his throat.

"Show me all the slaves you have captured today!" said Kuro.

"Those over their are today's slaves."

"Piece of shit!" said Kuro as he punched the boss in the face ,"My brother's not here. He was at the mines today but then he went missing. So I came here as I heard from certain someone that you kidnap people."

"What...Maybe it was the Southern Tower Bandits! They too kidnap people from the mines more often then we do. If anyone might have him it must be them!"

"Tell me were they are!" said Kuro as he threw the boss across the room close to the slaves which acted very aggressively upon seeing him.

And so Kuro and the boss discussed the location of the bandits and finally Kuro got a good idea where they might be.

"Please can you let me go. Please don't kill me! I told you what you wanted." begged the boss.

"Fine." said Kuro as he kicked the boss few meters away from him...before freeing a slave and handing him his two swords.

RAAH!

screamed the slave charged at the boss with full spped like a rhino whilst pointing the swords at him.

AHHH!

The boss got shiskebabed by the two swords, the slave continued to stab the bosses flesh and riping his limbs as he bit the boss's neck really hard torturing the boss.

'I wouldn't kill him but I never said he wouldn't' as Kuro looked at the slave slowly killing the boss.

"Go! Free the others as I'll set the building on fire!"

The slave beheaded the boss before cutting the metal chains that held the other slaves in place and then he handed the sword back to him, "Thank You!"

As Kuro got out and the rest of the people inside he set the place on fire as each floor he went down he flamed the wooden walls.

"FIRE! LOOK!" said a person as the whole crowd of city bystanders watched as the building burnt down.
