ATLA, In A Darker World

Chapter 37 Murderous Problems

Haican ….

Southern Earth Kingdom….

'Finally, a clean opening'.

Squelch!

The sickening sound of cutting flesh resounded in the tunnel as the Captain's head fell to the floor.

The body stiffened under Luca's gaze. The hands twitching slightly before it fell to the floor.

Thud.

'Alright then …. That's one'. Luca thought inwardly while looking at the Captain's corpse.

The following events after he heard the tunnel door opening was honestly beyond his expectations.

His initial worries had been that this was a scout team tasked with finding out why the soldiers he killed hadn't returned yet.

For that possible scenario, he had been wondering whether to stealthily kill off the entire group or escape before they returned with the news that something was wrong.

The result ..... Left him stunned.

A bunch of kids?

Standing on the tunnel ceiling, Luca watched the teenagers only a few years younger than his current self with puzzlement.

Yep, you heard that right. Standing on the ceiling.

The moment he blew the torch out, Luca had walked up the walls and hung upside down from the ceiling.

How did he accomplish this?

By attaching Chi to the soles of his shoes.

Another thing he picked up when learning to infuse Chi into his weapons.

Attaching Chi to objects could allow him to temporarily alter the objects surface tension.

In this case, by surrounding his footwear with chi and distributing it, Luca could generate traction allowing him to achieve an effect similar to Spider-Man's wall crawling.

Compared to his usage of Chi for other purposes, the minimal costs for this was minimal. He didn't need to utilize spirit Chi to do it.

This meant that potentially all humans had the chance to learn this. If their ability to control Chi was up to par.

'This would be the perfect skill set for assassins in large cities'. The thought crossed through his mind.

Hence, he had swiftly moved deeper into the tunnel, climbed up to observe the following developments and decided to act on the circumstances as he saw fit.

Three minutes later, Luca felt like he was watching a rich plot scenario.

Forget everything else. Just the people who consisted this group could be described as special.

An Earthbender, Waterbender, an explosion specialist, a regular human ..... The last one caught his attention more than the others.

A Kyoshi Warrior.

Here? How?

The Kyoshi warriors were special supporting characters in the Avatar series. Or it was better to say that Suki, the only named one in the series was the main supporting character.

She was the one who had the most screen time, character development as well as the only one who was seen with her makeup and uniform off.

The others weren't even given proper names.

Were rarely mentioned and only had two appearances before Azula captured them alongside Suki.

Even then, the treatment they received was different. The rest of the Kyoshi warriors were carried off to Capital Prison on the Fire Islands, the same place he broke out from while Suki as their leader was given the special privilege of being taken to the most secure facility, The Boiling Rock.
