Chapter 3: chapter 3
I saw a nearby plate full of food, I grabbed it and started eating. It was pretty good, I haven't heard anything about the Equalists which confused me by this point they should've been a problem especially with the police.
I remembered my stand, it could shoot razor sharp glass pieces it should be strong enough to free me. I pulled out my stand and it punched the bar and dented it, glass shards started flying at the speed of light.
Speed of light might have been an exaggeration but they did in a rainbow color as they flew. It cut the metal bit by bit until it dealt the final blow. I was free except for the chain still attached to my hand. I started fixing the floor this would be a good time to have Crazy diamond.
I had some glue and used it to fix the wood and carpet, they wouldn't hold if I stepped on it. It looked OK I gave a little hand gesture to the sky. In my original life I was a detective but only for a few short years then I got stabbed and gutted.
I'm never losing to a knife again, that's the main reason I chose earth so I could metal bend. I walked over to my desk which now was basically a work shop, my younger years in my original life I was a little crafter. I once made a full sized crossbow, all parts made by me.
I smiled at my success I had lock picked the handcuff with some of the smaller tools on my desk. I wondered if cross bows exist in this world, I started work on a cross bow but a mini one made with pencils and a rubber band.
I used some short pencils as the ammo, what about a gun had they found gunpowder but didn't see it's many uses. The recipe for gunpowder is 74.8% potassium nitrate 13.3% charcoal and 11.9% sulfur thats ideal but it'll still work if you do 75% potassiumnitrate and 15% charcoal and 10% sulfur .
Grind it together in a ceramic bowl and moisten it, the moisture during the grinding process helps make the explosion bigger. Now how do I aquire these materials and how do I identify them. Charcoal is easy I can make that myself, the problem is saltpeter aka potassium nitrate and sulfur.
Sulfur is usally found near volcanoes so that would need a trip to the fire nation it is plae yellow in color, saltpeter is often times found in limestone caves and it resembles cocaine a white powder. The earth nation probably had limestone caves somewhere around, maybe they sold the stuff I needed in a rock shop or crystal shop.
I would need gloves for saltpeter because it causes irration when touched and for sulfur ot would probably be in a glass case. If memory serves when sulfur it touched by water it releases toxic gasses and it's highly flammable.
I had some money stashed underneath my bed a few thousand yuan. I grabbed all of it and headed to the store district of Republic city. I walked along and soon I found a rock shop, I entered and he gave one look at me and smiled "finally someone other then an earth bender"
It was an honest mistake I had many water tribe features like my hair wasn't black like beifong hair usally is but brownish black and I had a darker complection. I corrected his mistake "I'm an earth bender actually, my name is JoJo beifong and it is an honor to meet you"
His smile faded only a little but he was probably still happy because beifong was a strong name it carried lots of influence then he said "my name is Suung and it's a pleasure to meet you"
"I'm looking for two things, sulfur and potassium nitrate and sometimes it's called saltpeter" I said while looking around and then the old man responded "I'm afraid I've never heard of potassium nitrate only sulfur but I keep the ladder in a locked box in the back"
So I wouldn't be able to make gunpowder, but still explosives. The old man walked to the back and then came back with a box that looked like it belonged on a sunken pirate ship. He opened it and then spoke in his harsh voice "it'll cost you, I'd advise you to buy the box and these gloves, don't touch the stuff with your skin, for all items which is the only way I'm selling it, it costs 13000 yuan"
"Ohhh, pricy, ill only have 200 yuan left this is my life savings but it is a lot" I said looking down at my money, I could probably sell my explosives for lots of money. "I'll take it" I said as I slowly handed over my money and he closed the box and gave me the gloves.
"DON'T DROP THE BOX" the old man said In a sincere voice and his one lazy eye finally focusing on me. I grabbed the chest and gloves, where would I make the bombs.
A flashback hit me, it was me playing with metal Ina na abandoned factory no one visits. Perfect, I remembered roughly where it was. I started walking to where I presumed the factory to be, I found the factory and I earth bended in.
No sings of human activity for years some of the stuff was still in the place I left it nearly a decade ago. I ripped apart a shelve to make it into a work table, I scavenged some old tools and I reformed some beakers into a usable form.
I sat it all down and started the process of these crude explosives, I didn't need some of the stuff but I had it any ways. I was a pretty good meth cooker In my past lives when your investigating your own case it makes things much easier, you know exactly what the police are doing and you know when to purposely slip up to make it seem like you don't know everything the police are doing.
I never slipped up to bad except for the one time and it led to my stabbing, I knew to much so I got shanked in prison. (Could you tell I've been rewatching breaking bad)
Now I'm also on the inside of the police but don't think I didn't like being a police officer, it feels good to stop crimes especially the bad ones not ones like mine I just manufactured drugs I didn't sell them or anything other I want t murder ethier.
I'll only do this for a short while, until I get my money back. I made my first set of explosives, I tested some out and they blew a 8 foot deep hole in the concrete.
My bending made it extremely powerful, I could make everything exact. It seems odd to me that you can earth bend sulfur, just plain old odd. I could definitely make some money on these, then it hit me Thermite it was easy and I was surrounded by the supplies needed to make it.
I didn't remember the exact measurements so I would leave that for tomorrow see if I could remember. It was getting dark so lin was bound to be home soon. I headed hone feeling like Heisenberg, I would need a change of clothes because these ones were dirty and smelled of sulfur.
I would hide these clothes under my bed because if sulfur released toxic gasses when they touched water then I wouldn't want to wash them. I arrived home and unlocked the door to find lin sitting in a a dark corner on a recliner.
She turned on a lamp and said with fury and question "where were you!?"
