"Are the other Kyoshi Warriors around?" Aang asked "Yeah. After you left Kyoshi, we wanted to find a way to help people. We ended up escorting some refugees and we've been here ever since. Hi, Momo! Good to see you too! So why are you guys getting tickets for the ferry? Wouldn't you just fly across on Appa?" Suki asked disappointing the group.

"Appa is missing. We hope to find him in Ba Sing Se." Katara said "I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you doing okay?" Suki said looking at Aang "I'm doing fine. Would everybody stop worrying about me?" Aang said before the pregnant woman from earlier called out to him "Avatar Aang, you have to help us! Someone took all of our belongings; our passports, our tickets, everything's gone!" The woman cried "I'll talk to the lady for you" Aang said walking towards the old lady booth.

"This is the Serpent's Pass? I thought it would be a little more wind-y, you know, like a serpent. Huh, I guess they misnamed it" Sokka said once they reached the serphants pass "please don't say anything that could potentially cause our deaths" Cordelia said closing her umbrella "look at this writing, how awful" the woman Ying said "What does it say?" Toph asked "It says, "abandon hope"." Katara read as the woman cried.

"The Fire Nation controls the western lake. Rumor has it they're working on something big on the other side of it and don't want anyone to find out what it is" Suki said as the man Than almost fell off the ledge "I'm okay" Than said "They've spotted us! Let's go, let's go!" Sokka said as the fire nation ship shot at them.

"Suki, are you okay? You have to be more careful! Come on!" Sokka asked pulling Suki away after Toph saved him from the rubble "Thanks for saving my life, Toph." Hey, no problem, Sokka" Toph said pretending to be Sokka "no time for that Toph we've got to go" Cordelia said pulling her. "I'm tired" Toph said laying on the ground "it's a half moon tonight" Cordelia said staring at the sky "I guess so" Toph said "..." "let's rest you guys" Katara said.

"Everyone single file" Katara said diving the water so they all could pass through to get to the other end of the path "Aang I need help" Katara said as Aang handed Toph his staff "what is that?" Cordelia asked pointing at a large creature beside them only for it to burst into the water bubble they were in.

"I think I just figured out why they call it the Serpent's Pass! Suki, you know about giant sea monsters, make it go away!" Sokka said pointing at the thing "Just because I live near the unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert!" Suki said "Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank you" Sokka said sacrificing Momo "really?" Cordelia said smacking her forehead as the creature charged at them.

"I'll distract it, Katara Cordelia get everyone across" Aang said pushing the creature back. "Good one for freezing its tongue" Katara said after Cordelia froze the creatures tongue "yea but that's not stopping it" she said seeing as the creature broke free "let's send it crashing to the side of the path" Aang said as the three created a whirlpool.

"There's the wall! Now it's nothing but smooth sailing to Ba Sing Se." Sokka said pointing at the wall of Ba Sing Se before Ying groaned in pain "what's wrong?" Sokka asked "The baby's coming!" Ying said holding unto her stomach "that's wonderful" Cordelia said happily "What? Now? Can't you hold it in or something?" Sokka asked in a panic "Sokka, calm down. I helped Gran-Gran deliver lots of babies back home." Katara reassured.

"This isn't the same as delivering an arctic seal! This is a real ... human ... thing!" Sokka said "just get us some towels, water and a tent and the baby will be ready to be born" Cordelia said raising her sleeves "Aang, get some rags. Sokka, water. Toph, I need you to make an earth tent, a big one. Suki, come with me." Katara said as they all did as told.

"You're doing great, Ying. Sokka, where's that water? Now get ready to push. One ... two ... three, push!" Katara said "bite on this clothe it'll be easier for you" Cordelia said placing a piece of clothe in Ying mouth as Sokka entered the tent only to later faint after seeing the head of the baby pop out the woman.
