The group and I approached Ba Sing Se, when we saw Aang flying down on his glider followed by Momo.

"Aang, what are you doing here? I thought you were looking for Appa."

"I was," Aang replied. "But something stopped me..something big."

Aang took us closer to the wall as he and Toph earthbended everyone up the outer wall.

"Now, what's so big that Appa has to wait?"

"That." Aang replies as we saw a huge drill headed towards the city.

"We made it to Ba Sing Se and we're still not safe," Ying cries. "No one is."

"What are you people doing here?"

We turn around and see two soldiers.

"Civilians aren't allowed on the wall."

Aang walks forward. "I'm the Avatar. Take me to whoever's in charge."

The soldiers did as told as they led us to another man on a thrown.

"It is an honor to welcome you to the outer wall, young Avatar. I see you have brought the Princess of the Northern Water Tribe."

I give him a little wave.

The general bowed. "But your help is not needed."

"Not needed?" Aang says.

"Not needed," the general repeats.

"I have the situation under control, I assure you, the Fire Nation cannot penetrate this wall," the general says standing up as we follow him.

"Many have tried to break through it, but none have succeeded."

"What about the Dragon of the West? He got in."

The general stutters. "Well, technically, yes. But he was quickly expunged. Nevertheless, that's why the city is named Ba Sing Se."

Sokka and I looked at each other not convinced.

"It's the impenetrable city. They don't call it Na Sing Se!" He chuckles then stops. "That means penetrable city."

"Yeah, thanks for the tour," Toph says. "But we still got the drill problem."

"Not for long. To stop it, I've sent an elite platoon of earthbenders called the Terra Team."

"That's a good group name," Sokka says. "Very catchy."

Down below we watch as Terra team begins to attack the drill but fail. The team all dropped dead like flies.

"We're doomed!" Yelled the general.

Sokka slaps him. "Get a hold of yourself, man!"

"Oh my spirits, Sokka."

"You're right," the general says rubbing his cheek. "I'm sorry."

"Maybe you'd like the Avatar's help now?" I offer.

He sighs meekly. "Yes, please."

"So the question is, how are we gonna stop that thing?" Aang asks, as we all turn our gaze to Sokka, huh, well except Toph.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Sokka asks.
