"So, let me get this straight. Amon is a Water Bender who is capable of taking away a person's bending."

"Unalaq is the former chief of the North Pole and merged with Vaatu, the origin of evil spirits."

"Zaheer had Air Bending because of the Harmonic Convergence, had his own gang, the Red Lotus, and nearly killed you."

"Kuvira is a former captain security guard of Zaofu, and soon tried to bring the Earth Kingdom together, forming the Earth Empire."

"So, in total, you have 4 major enemies to face against, and if you include me into Team Avatar, it would be 5 against 4."

"But, seeing how skilled they are, the odds may seem against us, as they might also have their compatriots, allies, and minions."

"So in other words, we're screwed unless we think smart," Liao concluded to them.

"Wait, so you're saying it's only us against them?" Bolin asked. "Probably. But hey, we got Air Benders," Liao replied.

"And the United Forces," Asami chimed in. "Yeah. And that," Korra said out.

"So now, we got SOME reinforcements. So, what do we do now?" Liao asked.

"We have to train," Mako simply told him. "We cannot train hard all the time, it wouldn't work," Liao stated.

"So how about this," Tenzin chimed in and all looked at him. "You train on some days, and then spend the other days of the week by doing strategies on how to beat them down."

". . . That's a good and logically acceptable idea, Tenzin," Liao agreed. The others soon agreed alongside him.

"So. What're we waiting for?" Mako asked. Liao then suddenly remembered something.

"You guys gotta practice without me. I got some stuff to get," he told them, before taking a motorboat and went towards Republic City.

". . . Does he know he could've just Air Bend to Republic City?" Bolin asked them.

"Idiot. That's so he wouldn't attract attention to himself. As he said before, he tends to be 'undercover'," Asami replied.

. . . . . . .

Liao sat on a roof, a lit cigarette stick in his mouth. He pulled it away, and sighed upwards.

Smoke came out of his mouth, before he breathed some smoke out of his nose.

(Idfk how to smoke. It's bad for your health. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try this.)

He got off of the rooftop, and walked back towards Air Temple Island, via the port.

Until he passed by the somewhat chaotic police station, he might've been completely oblivious.

When he got into the police station, he saw the officers running about here and there.

He grabbed an officer and asked, "what is happening here?" The officer replied, "the Chief. She's gone! She's supposed to come here but she hasn't!"

'Chief Beifong? No way there would be something or someone to get in her way. . . Unless. . .'

"I see," Liao then left the police station. Like men, he advance. Like women, he vanish.

Just as he was about to reach the port, he stopped, feeling his spine tingling.

He felt a presence behind him and he turned around, an attempt to punch.

Before the punch managed to even land on the person's face, he was suddenly air-uppercut into the air.

Upon collision with the ground, he had fainted.
