“In summer, before the comet, there will be a Solar Eclipse. During it the fire benders will be completely powerless, and that is when we need to strike, on the day of Black Sun.” “But for an attack of that scale we would need to send all men out to invade, it would leave us completely vulnerable!” He told him, Zuko going to speak but Sokka stepped forward. “You’re already vulnerable. But if we attack at the root, in the Fire Nation, when they are at their weakest, then we have a fighting chance, a chance to end this war!” “…you’re right, very well. I give you my full support.”

Zuko had to admit, he’s had better diplomatic experiences. So when the Earth King criticised them for taking out his guards and breaking in he admitted, maybe they were a little overkill. Standing straight he let the flames flicker away, and when they were no longer on guarded the Dai Li came out from the shadows and cuffed their hands with their earth gloves. “Men, escort them away.” “Hey! Not only am I the Avatar but-” “Wait!” Everyone stopped, “You are the Avatar?”

“You think the bison whistle will work if Appa’s free!?” Sokka asked, the air bender shook his head. “I don’t think it’s gonna matter!” Before them was a line of Dai Li with Long Feng. A wall rose beneath them blocking them off. Behind them another, and Dai Li on the cliffside. Their only escape was the water, where rising on pillars of earth were more Dai Li.

“I thought you said you left the Freedom Fighters behind.” Katara hissed as her hands went to her water pouch. “I did.” Smellerbee latched onto him. “We were so scared, we watched you get captured by the Dai Li.” Zuko paled, they watched? “The Dai Li!” “I don’t know what she’s talking about!” “Wait, you don’t remember?”

“Thank you I-…why are you like this?”

The link isn't working so here it is, oooh link!

“I’m guessing you guys had as much luck as I did.” “Found nothing on Appa?” Katara spoke as Zuko served himself. “Nothing.” He sat down, “Met the Dai Li tho.” “So did we.” Toph whispered, “Their leader, Long Feng.”

“I’m sorry…bear?” He had to ask, trying to wrap his head around it. “Yeah, bear.” “Surely you mean platypus-bear?” Sokka asked her. “Or an armadillo-bear?” Toph chirped. “Perhaps a kangaroo-bear?” Zuko leaned against a pillar as he raised his eyebrow. “Skunk-bear?” Aang asked, but Katara shook her head. “It just says bear.” It was silent. Toph broke it, “This place is weird.”

Then he felt a hand on his arm, warm and slightly callused. He hummed, hearing a familiar voice speaking but didn’t really hear words. He finally cracked an eye open, through the strands of black hair he saw a mesh of tanned skin and blue. He closed his eyes, groaning gently as his hair was moved, blinking a few more times it became clear. Sokka. “Morning Prince-y.”

“I can’t believe we finally made it to Ba Sing Se in one piece.” “Shh! Don’t jinx it!” Sokka held out his hand, Toph moved. “What makes you say that?” She asked, tilting her head. Sokka shrugged, “I’m just saying, weird things happen to us.” A big figure appeared, in his mouth a whole cob of corn.

“Prince Zuko!” “Hi, I’m sorry but I’m gonna need to do this. Apologies.” He then blasted them with air, wincing at how hard they hit their heads. “OK, let’s move them out.” “Right.” The drill groaned with the water being held in, and Zuko noticed that the engine was stressed already. Aang and Tophs’s efforts must be slowing it down, “Alright, I shovel you fire?” “Right.”

“She knows the human body and goes for its weak points, it’s like she takes you down from the inside…” “Oh! Oh!” Sokka lit up, “That’s how we take down this drill, like how Ty Lee took out all these Earth Benders!” Toph hit her fist into her palm, “By hitting it’s weak point!” Zuko looked at the massive metal machine. “We’ll take it down, from inside.”
