-NO ONES POV-

The camera zooms out quickly to reveal a red Fire Nation flag waving in the wind. Cuts to shot of the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu having been captured by the Fire Nation. A bold red flag bearing the Fire Nation insignia is proudly hung; gray plumes of smoke fill the air surrounding the fallen city.

Aang: [Viewing the city, his back to the camera; in a somewhat shocked tone.] I can't believe it. I know the War has spread far, [Turning toward the camera sadly.] but Omashu always seemed ... untouchable.

You: [shocked] This is really unbelievable...

Sokka: Up until now it was. [Crosses arms over chest.] Now Ba Sing Se is the only great Earth Kingdom stronghold left.

Katara [Cuts to shot of entire group standing on the cliffside overlooking the city.] This is horrible, [Approaches Aang; cuts to side-view of the two standing next to each other.] but we have to move on.

Aang: No, I'm going in to find Bumi.

Sokka: Aang, stop. We don't even know if Bumi's still ...

Aang: [Angrily.] What? If he's still what?
You: [puts hand on his shoulder] Aang.

Sokka: Unsurely.] A-around.

Katara: I know you had your heart set on Bumi, but there are other people who can teach you earthbending.

Aang: This isn't about finding a teacher. This is about finding my friend.

Scene changes to below Omashu's gate where Aang is attempting to open the entrance to a secret tunnel.

Sokka: A secret passage? Why didn't we just use this last time?

Aang opens the tunnel, revealing it to be filled with sewage.

Sokka: Ugh! [covers your nose]
Aang: That answer your question?

Sokka: Eww!
You: [nasally voice] I can't breathe!

The group proceeds through the tunnel to the inside of Omashu. Aang conjures an air ball with his staff to clear the path while Katara uses waterbending to maneuver the sewage carefully around her.

You used a strong scent of flowers by your face as you also had maneuver the sewage with your waterbending. Sokka, on the other hand, is continually soaked in the foul substance.

Katara: That wasn't as bad as I thought.
You: Except for the smell, I agree.

Sokka emerges covered in slime. Katara spots water nearby and splashes Sokka with it using waterbending to wash off the sewage followed by Aang who uses airbending to dry him off while he screams which reveals that three pentapi have attached themselves to his skin. You then puts some scented flowers on his head to keep the smell off.
