We set down on land after a while to go over our plan while Aang plays with Appa. "I agree, we escaped from the Dai Li, we got Appa back, I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan. We're on a roll." Sokka says.

"One good hour after weeks of bad luck isn't much of a roll." Katara argues.

"We can build on it!" Sokka shoots back, "If we want to invade the Fire Nation when the eclipse happens, we need the Earth King's support!"

"What makes you think we'll get it?" Toph asks, "I don't know if you've noticed but things don't usually go smoothly for our little gang."

"'You have me." You say, stepping forwards, next to Sokka now, "Besides the bastardized Mercenary Tao, I'm the person Kuei trusts the most."

"And Long Feng is still in control of Ba Sing Se!" Katara exclaims, "Even if we get your brigade, what then? We can't beat an entire army! I think that we should just keep flying and leave this horrible place behind us."

"I'm with Sweetness," Toph says, "Sorry Y/N, but I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see!"

"I won't give up on my city." you state firmly.

Aang finally joins the argument, "But now that we have Appa back, there's nothing stopping us from telling the Earth King the truth. About the conspiracy and the war."

"See? Aang's with us!" Sokka exclaims, "It's the whole reason we came to Ba Sing Se in the first place. We have to try."

"We have to have hope." you add.

"Well I guess if the Earth King knew the truth, things could change." Katara decides.

"I don't trust this new, positive Sokka and Y/N. They brainwashed you two didn't they?!"

You walk forward, take Toph's hands and kiss her gently, "Does that answer your question, Dear?" She blushes deeply. The group doesn't see this, they are looking at the water, more specifically, ships in the water.

"That's probably the Dai Li searching for us." Sokka decides. "Are we doing this or not?"

"Let's fly!" Katara says.

First, you and Aang discreetly go in in disguises, Aang wearing Appa's fur as a beard and a sun hat. You walk towards Bo's shop and enter.

"Hello there." a voice says.

"General Sung." You greet, bowing. "You are a bold one."

Bo steps forward. "Everything is set up, Y/N. Is Operation Fizzle a go?" You nod and Aang pulls back.

"Meet me at the palace." You say. Aang nods and leaves as you draw your sword, "Let's kick some ass." The two men nod in agreement and you all make your way towards the palace, butchering any threats that come your way. Your small army meets theirs and you take front and center position, before Aang lands in front of you and starts launching pillars that take down all except one. Appa takes him down. "Spread the fire!" you order. Your men make a perimeter around the gate and you follow Aang's group. Dai Li launch rocks at you which you, Toph and Aang take down quickly. Several men are taken down by your archers and Katara takes care of those who aren't, apologizing as she takes them down. A group of Dai Li rushes at you, Toph lifts the ground up and drops it down like dominoes. You look back at your army to see them fighting on their flanks, when the Terra Team saves them by sending boulders at the Dai Li. While this is happening, Katara frantically apologizes.

On the other side of a stream, Dai Li are in offensive form and two statues are launched your way. Aang and Toph create a cover, the statues are destroyed and Katara works her magic, taking all of the Dai Li and throwing them into the stream and Aang freezes it. More Dai Li pour out of the palace. Toph turns the stairs into a ramp and the Dai Li start sliding down as her and Aang use the ground as a platform which they push up the stairs. You and Aang take care of the Dai Li that slide onto your platform.
