The Drill Part 2

Beneath the drill, Toph creates a massive pillar of stone launching Aang, Katara, Sokka and Yue into the underbelly of the drill. "Toph, you coming too?" Sokka calls out as he leans down to grab her hand. "I can't see inside that thing, I'll try to slow it down out here but you need to find Zuko." She responds before creating several more pillars and jamming them into the moving joins beneath the drill. Without another word, Sokka heads up into the drill leaving Toph to try to stall for as long as possible.

"Do you have a plan Sokka?" Katara asks as he gets to his feet before drawing his sword and club from their holsters on his back. "We need to find out where they're keeping Zuko."

"Knowing him, he's probably broken out by now but we need to check to see where he could be being held." Sokka says before looking at Aang and Katara. "We also have to try to find engineering. A machine this size needs mechanics to take care of and repair it. Once we're down there we take down one of the guards, steal their plans and come up with a way to take this thing down."

"Taking down the drill would make it easier to find Zuko. If he hasn't broken out then they'd send a bunch of guards towards him to prevent it once this thing comes grinding to a halt." Aang says as the four begin running down the long hallways looking for any sort of directions inside the metal beast.

"Hopefully he's already thought ahead and has broken out. If they're holding him somewhere on this thing it won't be labeled and that'll make rescuing him a lot more difficult." Sokka responds as the quartet sprint down the metal corridors.

In the depths of the Drill, Zuko sneaks around walls and corners trying to avoid any of the other personnel that are onboard. He glides down a staircase heading towards the engine room making sure to keep out of line of sight from any of the workers. As he rounds a corner, he hears footsteps coming around the other side. Slow and methodical coming from heavy metal boots on the iron grates of the floor. Across from him, a pipe wraps around the wall heading around the corner coming from the boiler room. The small label on the side of the pipe warning of its heat is all he needs to hatch a plan. With his stolen boots, Zuko leans up and kicks the top of a valve off of it's mooring causing the pipe to begin spraying boiling water all over the wall and releasing so much steam it completely obscures him from view.

Hearing the valve stem hit the ground, the engineer around the corner, from where Zuko is, stops in his tracks. The young avatar drops low to the ground underneath the rising steam so he can get a better view at the legs of whoever is around the corner. The moment he sees the heavy boots of one of the engineers come into view, Zuko ambushes the man. He springs to his feet and pulls his arms up and in around the engineer bending the steam in the air to surround the man. With a sharp exhale, the temperature of the steam instantly drops to freezing, encasing the man in ice. Using the remaining water in the air, Zuko creates a club out of the ice before slamming it down on the back of the man's head rendering him unconscious and frozen in ice. He quickly roots through the man's things and finds several schematics of the drill in his bag.

"Let's just hope my luck can hold out." Zuko says to himself but almost the moment he stops speaking he feels a disturbance in the air behind him. Reacting quickly, he dodges underneath the attack coming from behind him before using his airbending to launch his attacker upwards then the steam to freeze his attacker to the ceiling.

"Wait! Katara! Yue stop! That's Zuko!" Sokka exclaims as Zuko spins to face Yue who is holding several spear pointed tendrils of water facing right for him. Zuko manages to stop her forward momentum from the attack as he takes control of the water before directing it onto the broken pipe freezing the leak in place. "Holy crap that was a close call." Zuko breathes out a sigh of relief as he pulls his helmet off.
