A guard next to the gondola shouts, "Line 'em up for the Warden!". As the Warden walks forward towards the prisoners. The nine prisoners file into a line, one next to each other, including Hakoda and Tera. Tera stands at the very end of the line on the right side, the farest away from the Warden.
Sokka, who had climbed up from where he was standing with Zuko and Suki, sneaked into the line of guards that were beside the prisoners without being noticed by anyone. The Warden approaches the new prisoners. He walks past them looking at their faces which are just in his line of sight. "Welcome to the Boiling Rock. I'm sure you've all heard the horrible rumours about our little island. Well, I just want to tell you that they don't have to be true, as long as you do everything I say." He stops in front of Tera, knowing just who she is. Tera is looking down at the Warden's feet. He looks up given that There was a few feet taller than anyone there, towering over them, her being a good six foot five, and looks at her closer. "Look me in the eye when I'm talking to you".
Tera averts her gaze slightly off to the side, catching Sokka's gase, and firmly says "No" "Oh? You'd rather look at my shoes?" He asks, getting ever more anger as time passes. "Then take a look!" He raises his left leg and drags Tera by her handcuffs down onto the floor. Tera kneels over, her face expressing anger. Sokka who is standing beside two guards as he gasps in horror. The warden stands over Tera, keeping his foot firmly pressed on the warrior's handcuffs.
"No need to worry, I know exactly who you are, the Fire Nation's most feared and wanted traidor, the once pristine wife of the once great General Iroh, The Dragon of The West. You are going to spend the rest of your days in this prison. For your crimes against the Fire Nation's crown," Hakoda looks shocked at the information he had just heard. The Warden, seeing Hakoda's face, turns to him. "I can see by the look on your face, Hakoda of the Water Tribe. I can see you didn't know this and by the look on your face I would say your close friends perhaps." The Warden gives a wicked smirk, realising he might ruin someone's friendship. "If you're wondering what she did, she killed the Fire Lord's wife." His smile fades, Both of you are so strong willed. But don't worry, we'll get rid of that in time. "He turns back and looks at Tera, "Now look me in the eye!"
Tera reluctantly lifts her head to look the warden in the eye and glares hatefully at him. In a calmer tone the Warden asks, "See, isn't that better?" He addresses the other prisoners, "You will all do as I say or pay the price. You will all-'' He begins to walk forward only for Tera to lift her handcuffed hand slightly, taking great strength to not fall over. Tripping the warden and causing him to fall flat on the ground. Sokka stifles a chuckle, as the two guards he was standing beside rush to aid the warden.
The guard that is standing over the Warden asks him, "Are you okay, sir?" He rises up to his feet and snaps angrily. "I'm fine! Get these prisoners out of my sight!" He storms away impatiently. The two guards look at each other. Then all the other guards except Sokka roundup the prisoners and lead them in a single file where, one behind the other and are led down a stairwell into what is presumed to be the prison hold. Sokka runs away.
In a dimly lit corridor of the prison a door slides open, revealing Chit Sang sitting in an interrogation room, cuffed to a wooden chair. The Warden walks into the room, and approaches the prisoner. He asks Chit Sang in a calm tone of voice, "Are you comfortable, Chit Sang?". Chit Sang snaps back, "If you're trying to get me to talk, forget it!" The warden appears behind him. "I'm not a squealer!". The Warden asks again, "Chit Sang, I only asked if you were comfortable.", "Well, yeah, actually I am pretty comfortable.".
The warden, in a fit of anger, kicks the chair to the ground. Chit Sang falls forward and lands on the ground. Chit Sang lays on the floor, still bound to the chair, his face pressed against the ground. The warden walks up to Chit Sang.
