A/N: So I think I ate something bad yesterday and have been hurling it up today. Fuck Phak Bum, (Thai spinach dish, that I love, but the... effects after can sometimes be squeezy.) Anyway, today was the day to write Quest Maker but I couldn't and this chapter is basically a backlog I have started to keep just for emergencies like this. In fact, I did that because I know there are some who feel a little frustrated at the lack of chaps when they stare at notice so please know this, if I have chaps, I'll always update~!

The iron fortress that imprisoned the earthbenders and many others divided the crystal tunnel into two paths and also acted as a location to guard others against traveling through. Which was a little weird because this fortress was quite far from Phoenix City and the only thing closest to this location was a giant lake and that, too, was many kilometers away.
The walls of the fortress reached the ceiling of the tunnel and had many levels. Just the amount of guards, both normal and benders they had encountered was too much but Nik didn't just consider recycling the entire fortress into Authority Points. No, Toph just made it clear that she could shape metal and so could he... in time. This large fortress could be used for so many things in his personal space.
Fire bending guards weren't that useful to him but Dai Li is the cultural 'police' of Ba Sing Se and its foundation was laid by none other than Avatar Kyoshi. Not only that, their bending style was precise and they only lost out because Nik and Toph were overbearing and ruthless with their attacks. Learning Dai Li's developed bending style would prove useful and Mai could interrogate them proficiently later, too... although, it would get messy... ugh, thinking of it made Nik cringe slightly. He wasn't thrilled by the idea of men ejaculating with Mai cutting and flaying their skin... but hey, better them than him.
Most of the information about Dai Li came from the library and King Bumi himself. But getting a first-hand account from the Dai Li members themselves would prove effective and may allow them to find more prisons. What Nik truly wanted to know, however, was their mind-altering trick. Whether he liked it or not, his situation in the homeworld was much worse than here. Here, Nik had truly established himself as a... powerful rebel. Alright, not that great of identity, but still. Back there, Nik was still a man without a clue about how the basic technology worked... but he had a higher chance of learning everything quickly now. And with the mind-altering trick, maybe he can make some troublesome situations disappear in their entirety.
Nik looked at the fortress. There was no entrance to it. You either patrolled the wide tunnels on either side or within. There were few spots not layered with iron from the inside of the fortress which made Nik conclude that the earthbending Dai Li members used to transport inventory and people through earthbending.
"Let me tear it quickly!" Toph huffed and patted the thick iron-plated wall as Nik ruffled her hair, "Haven't you done enough? No, we're entering this place a bit normally. Alright, you girls know the drill. Strip!"
"Huh?" The 'new' members were slightly stunned as Suki sighed and explained.
Understanding that they were about to change into the outfits of their opponents, Azula couldn't help but snort.
"I refuse to wear someone else's—"
"Wear it," Nik looked at Azula seriously. For a moment, the two of them continue to glare at each other until Azula eventually faltered, "... fine. But this isn't the end."
Actually, Nik realized last night that dealing with Azula was the easiest... if you have 'it' over her, then she would do as you ask. All the token resistance would prove futile. But that didn't make her less complicated. She was one of the most delicate individuals Nik had met with and strangely, she could swing to a mode so sadistic that even Mai would fail to reach upto that level.
Once they entered his personal space and changed themselves, Nik didn't let them out. Instead, he shackled the unconscious guards and Dai Li members with earthen slabs and a few iron chains they had that were used on the earthbenders and finally stripped one of the Dai Li members.
Humming thoughtfully, Nik pressed his hand on the ground, and soon, small pieces of earthen plates covered his hand and covered his hand in a way that the sections of his fingers were left uncovered allowing him to bend his fingers. The Dai Li uses such an earthen glove to capture the opponent by controlling this as another hand but it was clear that it took a lot of practice and precision. Nik had trained in precision with Mai but again, he couldn't hope to cover their years of experience with training that barely lasted a few months at best. He also had to fashion rock shoes for himself that the Dai Li wore to seamlessly slide themselves on land.
The only way he could hope to cover the gap was by practicing various things at all times so that he may have greater versatility and ability to adapt to various situations.
Tunneling himself into the ground, Nik emerged from one of the protected regions as his face hid under the green conical hat as he looked around. From the observation through seismic sense, Nik had found that the fortress had multiple cells around the empty hollow spot in the middle spanned across multiple levels. It was clear that even THIS much must have been quite the cost-consuming task to build the fortress. A good thing Nik was liberating it under a righteous cause... or else, he would have felt guilty for a minute or two.
Looking around, Nik nodded at the guards and stepped away from the square earthen spot when one of the two Dai Li agents stationed there suddenly shot his rock gloves at Nik.
*Ghhh*
*Mnnghh*
Everyone near the prison cell had a darkened expression and felt that Nik must have known what this interrogation would entail before escaping. There was a stark difference between interrogating a woman and a man and call her a discriminating person if you will but Mai would NEVER interrogate a man using this ability... Never.
"Oh, the stink," Katara scrunched her brows as Mai stepped out with an expression gloomier than ever as her other 'partners' gave her a wide berth and Azula broke into chuckles, "Serves you right, Mai. I wonder if Nik will even touch you after this... hey, in fact, who knows what you did in there. Did you fuck them? Wouldn't be beneath you!"
Mai merely glanced at Azula but was in no mood to enter into a banter with her. Taking a deep breath to calm her irritation, Mai smiled, "Your rebellion is fucked, Azula. You have traitors left and right... congratulations. A Princess of your caliber is the only one capable of fostering traitors."
Azula frowned and scoffed but she wanted to know what Mai had to say yet the master of hidden weapons did not speak any further and looked at Katara, "Would you the honor of drowning me... my eyes are burning because of the stink..."
"Ugh... fine," Katara agreed reluctantly but kept her distance from Mai... and didn't even dare entertain the thought of entering the interrogation chambers for the time being.
"Let's wait for Nik to come out and guard this place," Suki spoke up and looked at Toph, "Can you keep a lookout outside? You're the best person for the job."
"As long as you guys are aware," Toph shrugged.
