LEGEND OF BEND-FORE

Star wars:the last airbender

Book three:Fire

"When all else fails,stand your ground."

"PLAN FOR INVASION.

"AS THE TEAM AVATAR MOVES BEHIND ENEMY LINES,CAPTAIN BRIGGS,COMMANDER HAKODA,AND THE REST OF THE INVASION IS TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD GATHERING WHATEVER ALLIES THEY MAY GATHER.

"AS THE DAY OF BLACK SUN APPROACHES,THE INVASION MUST FIND A PLACE TO LIE LOW UNTIL THE TIME TO STRIKE COMES."

(The Mandalorian theme)

Briggs began to lead his clone trooper and the invasion force off of the fire nation navy ship,as they got further away,Pulse stopped and turned around,pushing a button on a detonator,the ship blew up with a huge explosion,the group then continued on.

They made their way throughout the earth kingdom,eventually arriving first at the northern air temple,where they met Teo and his father,they presented to them schematics of a machine that they were working on,and after packing up the supplies they needed,they were on the move again.

Sometime later,they were in Toph's home town,where they encountered the earthbenders of earth rumble six,Briggs and Hakoda talked with the Boulder and some of the other earthbenders,some weren't willing to join,but the boulder and Big bad hippo accepted and joined the group on their way.

While walking through a forest,the invasion was suddenly surrounded by earthbenders,when Tyro and Haru came out,Hakoda explained who he was and what they were planning,and the they along with the rest of the earthbenders there,joined the invasion force,though they did leave some earthbenders behind to watch over their families.

Sometime later,the invasion force had arrived close to Ba sing se,where they could see the kingdom in shambles,they were then attacked by an arrow,the group saw that it was Longshot and Smellerbee and Pipsqueak and the Duke embraced them and they mourned their fallen leaders death.

It had been close to two weeks since the invasion force had begun their trek,and they arrived at the swamp,where Yu and the other swamp benders were waiting for them,but as the invasion force entered the swamp,they didn't see that they were being watched but someone through infrared.

(Que opening:Rewrite:Fullmetal Alchemist)

"PREDATORS"

The invasion force had set up camp at the center of the swamp by the big tree,Teo and his father were busy building the machines that they would use for the invasion,with Pulse nearby to help anyway he could.

Ripley was with Longshot going over the weapons that they had,Scotty was up in the big tree keeping watch,with Bato and one of the female swamp people with him.

Briggs and Hakoda were speaking with Tyro,Smellerbee, and Yu about the invasion plan.

"Sokka has put an excellent plan together."Tyro said.

"You should be proud."

"I am."Hakoda said.

"Sokka may not have always been the brightest kid,but he's as smart as any other water tribe warrior."

"We're supposed to meet Sokka and the others here."Briggs said pointing at a place on the map.

"You think the machinist will get it done before the day of the invasion?"

"He better,or this invasion will end before it even begins."Smellerbee said.

"He'll get it done."Yu said.

"We must have faith."

Smellerbee just looked at Yu with an uncomfortable look.

"Where are your clothes?"

Yu just looked at Smellerbee in confusion,Briggs,Hakoda,and Tyro immediately walked away.

Out in the swamp,Naifu and some water tribe warriors were walking through the woods,making sure there wasn't any fire nation in the area.

"Naifu,you there?"Briggs said through the communicator.

"Yeah,everything seems clear out here."Naifu said.

"Ok,head back to camp,Scotty will keep an eye out for you."

"Roger,over and out."

Naifu put the communicator away,as he turned to the others.

"Ok,let's head back!"He called out.

And they began to make their way back to camp,not realizing that one of the warriors had been dragged away.

The group had eventually arrived back at camp where Briggs and Hakoda met them,but Hakoda noticed something wrong.

"Where's Gyro?"He said.

Naifu and the others looked around and noticed that they were a man short.

"Where'd he go?"Naifu asked.

"Scotty,Gyro's missing,do you see him up there?"Briggs said in his communicator.

Above,Scotty looked through his scope to see if he could find the missing water tribe warrior,he then saw something on the ground.

"I think I've got something."He said.

"It's about 15 feet to your left."

"Ok,we'll check it out."Briggs said,as he,Hakoda,Naifu,and the other warriors headed out to retrieve Gyro.

They came up to the place where Gyro was seen,and came up to a disturbing sight.

"Wh-what the hell happened to him?"Hakoda said.

What they discovered was Gyros body,missing his skull and spine,Briggs and Naifu looked at each and pulled out their blasters,pointing them around.

""We need to get back to camp now."Briggs said.

"Why,what's going.."Hakoda began to ask,before one of the water tribe warrior's heads was blown clean off,causing the rest to take off running,as Briggs and Naifu opened fire.

"Run,run!"Briggs said as they kept running and he kept firing in any direction.

As they arrived back at the camp,Briggs started to bark orders.

"Tyro,get everyone under and create a stone wall."

"What's going on?"Tyro asked.

Suddenly,a spike came through another water tribe member and he was pulled back into the swamp.

"Everyone get under the tree now!"

Everyone started to make their way to the tree,as Pulse and Ripley came up and joined Briggs and Naifu.

"What's going on?"Pulse asked.

"Outpost 7."Briggs said.

Pulse and Ripley both froze in place.

"What's outpost 7?"Hakoda asked.

"Hey,what's going on down there?"Scotty asked.

"Scotty stay up there,whatever you do,don't come down."Briggs said.

"Why?"

"Outpost 7."

"What about it?"

"It's happening here."

"Seriously?"

"Hey!"Hakoda said, grabbing Brigg's arm.

"What is outpost 7?"

BOOM!

An explosion went off sending some people flying.

"Kill the lights!"Briggs called out.

And everyone went to work putting out fires and shutting off lights,making everything go dark.

After everyone got under a tree,along with the freedom fighters(along with a reluctant Smellerbee),Teo and his father,Haru,and the boulder and Hippo,Tyro put up a rock wall,and took cover along with the clones,Hakoda,and some Water tribe warriors.

"Everyone be quiet!"Briggs said.

"Don't move."

Everyone stayed still,as the chaos died down and all you could hear were the crickets and frogs in the swamp.

"Scotty."Briggs whispered into the communicator.

"What do you see?"

"Not a damn thing."Scotty said.

"What is Outpost 7?"Hakoda asked.

Briggs stayed silent for a few seconds,he looked to the other clones and saw that they were not too keen on sharing,but due to the situation they were in,he decided to share.

"Look if you know something about this,you need to tell us,now!"

Briggs was quiet for a few more seconds and then started to speak.

"It was a few months before we arrived here."He began.

"During the clone wars."

(Flashback,one year earlier)

("Outpost 7 was a republic base on the planet Skava,we had lost contact with the base for about three weeks,we then received a distress call from the base,Commander Sumdac,General Clouse,myself and the rest of the squad were sent there to investigate.)

A gunship landed in front of a base as the slide doors opened allowing the clones to dismount and take defensive positions,as Briggs,Neo,and Clouse dismounted the gunship as well.

The sight they came upon was horrific,as there were bodies everywhere.

Some were mostly intact,but they were missing their skulls and spines,others were missing limbs and had their heads blown off.

Clouse gave the order to move into the base,which was just as bad as it was outside,as there were just as many dead bodies and missing limbs and skulls and spines.

("We searched the whole area,but found no survivors,we reported our findings to the Jedi council,but they decided not to investigate.)

(End of flashback)

"We never discovered what it was that attacked the base."Briggs finished.

"Until now."

"Well,we actually still don't know what was responsible."Pulse said.

"But looks like we're about to find out."

"We need to lure whatever it is,away from the camp."Naifu said.

Briggs stopped to think for a second,he then decided on a plan.

"Ok,this is what we're going to do."He said.

"Since we don't know how many there are,we're gonna split up into groups of three,Hakoda,you and Pulse are with me,Naifu,you take Tyro and Ripley.

"The rest of you stay here and watch over the group,Scotty,you Bato and the waterbender stay up there and keep watch."

"Got it."Scotty said.

"And then what?"Tyro asked.

"We try to find a way to get behind him,let's move."

They went in different directions,not sure which way the attacker was going.

As Tyro,Ripley,and Naifu were running through the swamp,Ripley and Naifu kept checking behind them,to make sure they were being followed.

"Did it follow us?"Tyro asked.

"How should I know."Ripley said.

"I don't know what it looks like."

He then pulled out his communicator to call Scotty.

"Hey Scotty,is it following us?"

"How should I know?"Scotty said.

"I don't know what it looks like,Hey Briggs,is it following you?"

Briggs,Hakoda,and Pulse were continuing to run through the swamp,continuing to look over their shoulders.

"How should I know?"He said in his communicator.

"I don't know what it looks…"

BOOM!

An explosion erupts sending the three flying through the air,and making them land in the swamp water,as Briggs started getting up from the water,his ears began to ring hard and he was disoriented.

He looked around and saw that Hakoda was unconscious,he looked a little further down and saw that Pulse was also slowly starting to get up,he began to make his way over to Briggs and Hakoda.

He leaned down and dragged the unconscious Hakoda over to where Briggs was,as Briggs sat up against a trench.

Pulse then began to speak to Briggs,but Briggs could not hear anything as his ears were still ringing,but slowly his hearing started to come back,and he began to hear what Pulse was saying.

"Cap!"He said.

"Cap can you hear me,are you alright?"

"Yeah,I'm fine."Briggs said.

"How's Hakoda?"

Pulse checked Hakoda's pulse,and he could feel his heart beating.

"He's fine."Pulse said.

"Can you move?"

"I think so.

"We need to get Hakoda somewhere safe and fine this thing."

"Alright,let's get him u..."

But before Pulse even finished his sentence,his head was blown clean off,Briggs just watched as another of his brothers fell.

In another part of the swamp,Tyro,Ripley,and Naifu kept running through the woods and swampy water,but Tryo stopped to catch his breath.

"Ripley."Scotty contacted.

"I've lost contact with the captain."

"Captain."Ripley said,pulling out his comm.

"Captain you there,Pulse,are you there?"

"It must have followed them."Naifu said.

"Scotty,do you have eyes on them?"

"No,I don't have a vigil,Bato,you got anything?"

"No,I can't see anything."Bato said.

"We'll make our way over to them,stay where you are."

"You think they're alright?"

"We better hope so,come on Tyro!"

Tyro just grunted and followed suit after the two clones.

Back with Briggs,he finished burying Hakoda under some mud,so that he could stay hidden.

He grabbed his weapons,placed his helmet on,and waited for the right moment to move.

He looked over the ridge to see if he could pinpoint the assailants position.

Everything seemed to slow down,as he waited for the opportunity to move,thunder began to rumble,lightning flashed,and then rain began to fall hard.

Briggs began to breathe slowly,when lightning flashed again and he took off running into the swampy forest.

Back with Naifu,Tyro,and Ripley,they were still running through the trees when Tyro stopped halfway.

"Now's not the time to catch your breath again Tyro."Naifu said.

"Do you guys see that?"Tyro said.

Naifu and Ripley looked to where he was pointing to,and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Is that a.."Ripley began.

"..Ship."Naifu finished.

The three made their way over to the ship,when they arrived,they came across what seemed to be a door,which began to drop.

Naifu started to board the ship,when Ripley grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing?"He asked.

"This might be that thing's ship."Naifu said.

"Maybe we'll find something to help us kill it."

"I don't know Naifu."Tyro said.

"Maybe it's a trap,I mean who would leave their ship out in the open like this?"

"I'm with Tyro,we should check it out first."

"Ok,then while you two are doing that,I'm gonna find a way to save our friends,"

Naifu then boarded the ship,leaving the two behind,they looked at each other at first,then followed after Naifu.

Back with Briggs,he continued to run through the woods,and ended up tripping on a root and falling down a slope into some swamp water below,with his helmet getting damaged in the process.

He got up and took his helmet off and leaned against the slope as he caught his breath.

Suddenly,he heard something and looked up to the top of the slope.

As he looked hard,he adjusted his eyes and could make out that the rain was hitting something that wasn't there,he then heard a high pitch noise and he immediately jumped out of the way as the creature fired it's weapon at Briggs.

He rolled over the ground and then began to return fire at the beast where it was standing.

Briggs waited to see if he shot it,when he heard the high pitch noise again,he took off running again as the creature started firing on Briggs again.

Back with the others,they were walking through the ship,and were shocked by what they saw.

There was a whole wall lined up with skulls of different aliens posted on it,some the clones recognized,such as twi-leks,Wookies,and even a alien that looked similar to that of master Yoda,but there were some that they didn't recognize,such as a alien that had a long head that pointed up,it also had some sort bone tongue that seemed to have teeth on it,but it was the display of armor that caught their attention,as there were several clone helmets on display.

"This has to be the thing that attacked Outpost 7."Ripley said.

"Yeah."Naifu added.

"The very same one."

They continued to look around and came across a weapons room,where there was quite the variety,including some clone weapons.

"This might come in handy."Naifu said.

"Agreed,we could use a reload."Ripley agreed.

The three went to work gathering what they could in weapons,Naifu then noticed a strange silver helmet with black eyes,he went to pick it,when suddenly he heard a beeping,he looked and saw some sort of device that seemed to be counting down.

"Kerabast,everybody out!"He said,and the three made their way to the door,as the device countdown had almost reached its end.

They managed to get off the ship with it blowing up just a few seconds later,which sent the three flying.

Back with Briggs,he continued to run,till he came across a tree and hid behind it.

As he started to catch his breath again,he heard a huge explosion in the direction that the others,he began to fear the worst for his team,believing them head,he then decided enough was enough.

(Flashback)

"There will come a time when you won't be able to rely on your equipment,and must rely on your senses."Caesar clouse said to the expendables

"Even though you were created in a lab,a tube,you are all just as connected to the force as me and Neo."

He then picked up one of Briggs' blaster pistols.

"So when the time comes,listen to the world around you,wait for the right moment to strike,and then.."

(End of Flashback)

Briggs stepped out from behind the tree and pointed his blaster and fired,the laser then hit something that began to circuit and then blew up,sending the creature to the ground.

Briggs began to make his way over to the creature,which he now had a good look at.

"I don't know if you can understand me."Briggs began.

"But I'm gonna give you one chance to walk away,and leave us alone,if not,I will kill you."

The creature then got up from the ground,and it slightly towered over Briggs,he lifted its hands up and reached for the silver mask on his face and he began to detach it from his face.

When he took it off,Briggs got a good look at the creature of Outpost 7.

His skin was a whitish yellow,with some scales,his mouth had sharp teeth,with his gums showing,he also had four tusks on both sides of his mouth,and dreadlocks.

"Wow."Briggs said.

"You are one ugly mother-"

But before Briggs could finish his sentence,the creature back slapped him into a tree,making Briggs lose his blaster.

The creature began to make his way over to Briggs,who rolled out of the way before the creature could hit him,Briggs then got up and began punching the creature,but it grabbed Briggs by the throat and threw him across the swamp,making him land in the water.

As the creature made his way over to Briggs,Briggs picked up a thick log and swung at the creature,hitting it in the face,he swung again this time hitting it in the gut,he went to swing it down,but the creature simply caught it mid-swing,he then gave Briggs an uppercut punch and sent Briggs falling back.

Briggs tried to get up,but the creature grabbed him by the throat again and hoisted him in the air,and began choking the clone captain.

Before he could choke Briggs to death however,a laser came through its chest,making the creature drop Briggs to the ground,Briggs looked behind the creature and saw that it was Hakoda holding his blaster,he began firing again at the creature,hitting it several times,before finally hitting it in the head,making him fall to the ground in the process.

Both Briggs and Hakoda looked at each other,catching their breath,glad that it was finally over,then they heard footsteps coming up to them,as they saw Naifu,Ripley,and Tyro coming up to them,holding the weapons they had stolen.

"Where is it?"Ripley said.

"I'm ready to kill it."

Briggs and Hakoda both pointed to the dead body of the creature.

"Ah man."

"Where's Pulse?"Naifu asked.

Hakoda looked at Briggs,who had a grimm look on his face.

Sometime later,everyone had buried the fallen,including Pulse,the four remaining clones stood in silence to honor their fallen brother.

"First Bones,now Pulse."Scotty said.

"We still have a job to do."Briggs said.

"And with the weapons Naifu,Ripley,and Tyro found,we can take the fire nation easily."

"Hopefully we've made both the commander and General proud."Ripley said.

"I'm sure we did."Briggs said.

"Sorry about your brother guys."Hakoda said,walking up to the clones.

"He did his duty,nothing to say."Briggs said.

"AHHHHHHH!"A woman screamed,making the men look to where it came from,only to be shocked to find five more creatures standing before them,with their ship right above them.

The warriors present stood guard,ready to fight,as the clones and Hakoda came forward.

"What do you want?"Briggs asked.

The creature upfront(who seemed to be the leader)stepped forward looking at the dead body of the creature they killed.

"You wanna be next?"

The leader motioned for two of the other creatures to grab the dead creature,the leader then proceeded to reach for something on his person,making everyone point their weapons at him.

"Wait!"Briggs ordered.

The leader then pulled out what looked to be a retractable spear and then handed it to Briggs,who(While at first reluctant)accepted it.

The leader nodded in respect to the clone,turned and walked away boarding their ship,it then began to take off into the air,leaving the planet behind.

"Think they'll be back?"Ripley asked.

"Don't know."Briggs said.

"And if they do,we'll be ready,Ok,let's pack it up,we can't stay here anymore!"

The invasion was then once again on the move..towards the fire nation.

(UNTIL NEXT TIME,THIS IS THE AGENT OF LITERATURE SIGNING OFF,COURAGE AND GODSPEED,AND JESUS LOVE.)
