The Five metal wires reached down over the office, as five people dressed in gray gear with crimson accents were slowly repelling down the building, taking their time moving down. The one in charge signalled with his right hand for them to stop, they were at the right floor. The night gave them the cover they needed for their attack. Their targets were the cell in the local gang that had grown quite the rep around the city as “The Earthshakers”.

The commander of the force motioned with his hand for the guys up on the roof to lower down the two water-canons. The two weapons, looking similar to a rocket launcher, were pressed against the walls that they were hanging from. The Commander signaled, one, two, three, and on three everyone jumped backwards, and the water canons were fired, blowing holes in the wall and splashing the room with water. The Commander swung back towards the building, using his electric glove on the canon to transfer the electricity through the water, into the thugs inside the building.

As the commandos swung back to the wall, they broke through, causing mass confusion for the benders that were dazed from the water and electricity they had been hit with. The Commander, Soru, walked past two guys that his soldiers took down, he headed for the leader of this cell of the gang. Tashi Hano was his name, and he was dangerous man, and a powerful earthbender. He got a visual on Tashi, as another bender jumped at him, a knee came towards Soru's face, he dodged by leaning backwards, fire following the knee, and soon a fist came down with a fireball ahead of it, Soru did a cartwheel backwards, jumping two meters into the air, he came above his assailant, and with one punch he smashed the man's collarbone and shoulder, sending him to the ground holding his arm and crying in pain.

Soru landed gracefully, rolling on the ground and then back up onto his feet, as he dashed towards Tashi, whom was currently fighting one of Soru's men. “Carter, back off.” Soru said, as Carter, a firebender, pulled away from the target with a flaming-punch. As Tashi brushed the flame off, he was met by Soru jumping into the air, delivering a punch to his face, breaking his nose. Tashi stumbled backwards, holding his nose “You little shit!” He shouted, Soru dashing at him, Tashi punched, Soru rolled with the punch, and rolled over Tashi's arm, landing behind him, sweeping his leg, Soru was taken off guard by Tashi moving the floor under them, sending a slab of ground into Soru's face, making the young Commander stumble backwards.

Tashi got back on his feet, and took his earthbending stance. Soru smiled, as he pulled out the kukri from his waist, and charged at Tashi, ducking under a rock, jumping over a slab, he came in close to Tashi, and quickly slashed Tashi's leg, a shallow wound, not enough to hurt him seriously, He then kicked Tashi in the chest, as he lunged behind him, a punch to his kidney made the bigger male hunch over in pain, Soru sliced him in the arm, then in the other leg, Tashi sent a slab into Soru's chest, he dodged a wave of water coming at him from one of Tashi's men, and then he went back in on Tashi.

Soru was disarmed by a rock, but that didn't stop him. Soru punched Tashi in the gut, then kneed him in the chin, and ended his combo with a side-ways palm-punch, making Tashi smash his head into the wall to the side.

Soru held Tashi up by the throat against the wall, despite the fact that Tashi had 65 Kg and 50 CM on Soru, the bigger male didn't seem to strain the soldier at all. “W-What are you... Equalists?” Tashi groaned out, as Soru scoffed. “We look like amateurs to you? We're united forces, bitch.” Soru told Tashi, before punching his lights out.

The same man whom just an hour ago had kicked ass was now sitting in a bar, drinking scotch with his friends, trading stories and jokes. “..So then I said.. 'Thank you mam, but I prefer Platypusfox!' Bwahaha!” One of the soldiers shouted, following with the other soldiers laughing with him, the story being damn funny. The man whom was a Rear admiral in the United Forces's navy, came and approached Soru's table. “Commander Deshuga, I understand the raid went well?”

“You betcha, it did. We whooped their ass, no problem.” Soru smiled, the rear admiral raising an eyebrow, as he then looked behind Soru, making the Commander turn his eyes away from the admiral, only for the admiral to karate-chop him in the side, making the Commander fall over. “The hell man?!” Soru shouted. “Please. That was a sad excuse for a punch. You're injured. Admit injury in your report next time. You're impressive, Commander Deshuga, but you're not General Buumi.” The higher-ups told Soru, as he left the bar, throwing some coin to the barman, to pay for the soldiers drinks.

Soru pushed himself up from the ground “Damn prick..” He cursed under his breath.
