"I can't believe it. I know the War has spread far, but Omashu always seemed...untouchable." Aang says in awe

"Up until now it was. Now Ba Sing Se is the only great Earth Kingdom stronghold left." I state

"This is horrible.....but we have to move on" katara states

"No, I'm going in to find Bumi." Aang states

"Aang, stop. We don't even know if Bumi's still..." katara stops

"What? If he's still what?" Aang yells back getting closer to katara. I get in the way

"Around" I state causing him to back up

"I know you had your heart set on Bumi, but there are other people who can teach you earthbending." Katara states looking at me

"This isn't about finding a teacher. This is about finding my friend." Aang sighs

We go below Omashu's gate where Aang is attempting to open the entrance to a secret tunnel.

"A secret passage? Why didn't we just use this last time?" Sokka complains

Aang opens the tunnel, revealing it to be filled with sewage.

"Ugh!" Sokka complains again

"Does that answer your question" Aang chuckles

"Eww!" Soka yells

We proceed through the tunnel to the inside of Omashu. Aang conjures an air ball with his staff to clear the path while Katara uses waterbending to maneuver the sewage carefully around her, and I just float on a rock while Sokka, on the other hand, is continually soaked in the foul substance.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought" katara smiles

Sokka emerges covered in slime. Katara spots water nearby and splashes Sokka with it using waterbending to wash off the sewage followed by Aang who uses airbending to dry him off while he screams which reveals that three pentapi have attached themselves to his skin.

"Ahh! They won't let go! Help!" Sokka panics

"Shh! Stop making so much noise. It's just a purple pentapus" Aang shushed him

Sokka looks at the pentapuses in fear. Aang removes the first pentapus by lightly rubbing its head as Sokka watches. Sokka rubs the spot where the creature was attached, and does the same procedure to get the second one off. Several guards suddenly approach us as Aang takes the third one off.

"Hey! What are you kids doing out past curfew?" A guard asks

"Sorry. We were just on our way home." Katara states

We turn and walk away, Sokka bringing up the rear. The guard notices the red welts on the back of Sokka's neck.

"Wait, what's the matter with him?" The guard asks pointing to Sokka

"Uh, he has pentapox, sir. Umm, it's highly contagious." Katara replies

" Oh, it's so awful. I'm dying." Sokka exaggerates

"And deadly" I try my best not to laugh

"Hey, I think I heard of pentapox! Didn't your cousin Chang die of it?" The guard asks his partner

"We'd better go wash our hands, and burn our clothes." The other panics as they both run away in fear

"Thank you, sewer friends." Aang smiles

~Timeskip~

"Let's find Bumi and get out of here." Katara states as I nod

"Where would they be keeping him?" I ask
