Legend of the Punisher

Prologue - A Quiet Night

On a quiet night in Republic City, there were three men who were outside of a shop. They looked around their surroundings to know there was no one in sight to see what they were going to do. A small robbery they planned. This small shop was owned by a non bender elderly man, with goods they wanted to take. Everything was perfectly set to put this off. They were going to break in the night, steal some stuff to make money off of, and escape quietly.

"This is going to be great for the triad," whispered one of the men.

This man had brown skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. He was wearing a navy blue long sleeve shirt with dark pants, white socks and brown shoes. Attached to the waist of his pants was a water jug with a core cap that keeps in close. He pulls the core off from the jug, which he then summons water to emerge from. The water begins to levitate with the blue triad member moving his hand to point to the door. The water then moved to the door, where it went in through the keyhole. The water bender continues to bend the water inside the keyhole. The keyhole then made a click, which opened the door.

"Good job rookie," said the second member of the group. "Now let's see what we can get."

The second man was the larger of the two. Standing at 6 foot 5 inches tall, and a bulky physique, this man had short hair, pale skin, and green eyes. He was wearing short sleeves that showed his bulky arms with some scars around it, brown shorts showing bulky legs and long brown boots that reached above his ankle. He entered the shop with a grin, seeing how there was nobody in the shop to tell them to stop. Although, it was a bit dark with the lack of lighting.

"Hey Ti, mind giving me some light here."

"Sure thing Wung," said the third man named Ti.

Ti was a 5 foot 2 inches tall man, with long black hair, a black beard, pale skin, and yellow eyes. He was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with red outlines, white wrapping on his forearms, dark baggy pants, and long boots that reached to his shin. He lifts his hand where fire was emerging from his palms.

With the fire's light illuminating, they noticed an old man was in the shop. The old man stares at them with fear before he try to run for it. Yet, a piece of earth tripped the man down to the floor. The elderly man looked up to see Wung close his palm. Then more earth holds the old man down.

"What do we have here boys?" Wung playfully asked with venom in his voice.

"No please! Don't hurt me!" The elderly man pleaded.

"I don't Wung, this old bag looks like he was going to rat us out!" Ti claimed.

"N-No I wasn't! I was just spooked! T-Tell you what, you can just get what you want. Just don't hurt me please!"

The three triad members look at one another before they nod their heads.

"Thank you for doing business with you," Wung said with a grin. The old man sighs in relief to be alive. "Just one more thing."

The old man begins to feel agonizing pain with the earth slowly starting to squeeze him. Meanwhile, Ti and the rookie break into the shop without any issue. They look around the shop to see the many items that are worth some money. They begin grabbing some valuables left from the display with bags they had carried with them.

"This is it! We can sell these to earn some money just for us and the triad," said the rookie, who was grabbing many of the jewelry and valuables with his hands.

"That's good and all, but we need to hurry before Republic City Police will come through here eventually," said Ti.

As they continued to steal the items, the rookie of the triad was getting some pearls and rubies he saw in cases. As he was admiring the items he was getting, he then suddenly leaped off the floor when a knife swung close to his head. The two other triad members notice the rookie back away from a knife that was now stuck on the wall.
