A/N: So the random uploads of boredom will only happen if there is a chapter to upload, but otherwise, you can be sure there will absolutely be an upload every Monday.  Uh, someone's Monday, somewhere in the world :D

"So... you want to destroy this factory?" Aang questioned, staring up at the menacing building before them.

"Yes. Sokka was just kidding, but he was right," Katara said. "Getting rid of this factory is the only way to help these people permanently."

"Or make things worse."

"Ack!" Aang fell over in surprise while Katara slapped her hands over her mouth to avoid shrieking.

"Mangetsu, stop doing that!" she hissed.

"Doing what?" the blonde questioned, frowning.

"Sneaking up on me, I thought I was going to die!"

"He really is good at the sneaking thing," Aang said, getting up with a grin.

"Well yeah, I wouldn't be much of a- nevermind, let's just do this," Mangetsu suddenly frowned and turned sharply away from them, shrouding himself in mist again. 

When it gently dispersed, he was gone, and the other two shrugged before darting into the factory to begin their bending-assisted mayhem. Frequently they'd come across guards already unconscious and continue on their way. In some places, Mangetsu had already damaged a few things.

An explosion rocked the building as the two ran out, grinning wildly. The sun had begun to rise as they returned to camp, meeting up with a mildly annoyed Mangetsu.

Aang laughed, imitating the sound of an explosion as they reached the camp.

"Shh, we don't wanna wake Sokka-"

"Too late," Mangetsu yawned, walking past the rest of the camp that was all waiting for them.

"Hi! Guys! We were just... out on a... morning walk!"

"Really, Katara?" Mangetsu called from over by his bedroll. "Are you really gonna pull that one with Toph standing right there?"

"Mangetsu!" Katara called back in frustration.

Sokka dumped out the dry grass from Katara's bedroll. 

"What he said. Also, I know you're the Painted Lady. I know you've been sneaking out at night - I mean Mangetsu didn't even try to hide that he was gone-"

Mangetsu snickered.

"AND I know you've been lying about Appa and feeding him purplizing tongue berries!"

"That's not even a word, Sokka," Mogui sighed.

"Not the point!" Sokka snapped. "Look, Katara, what you've done has put our whole mission in jeopardy. We're leaving right now."

"How long did you know?" Muteki questioned Aang.

"Hey, I just found out this morning!" Aang put up his hands defensively.

"Squirt, how long- Hey, where's Mangetsu?" Mogui demanded.

"Oh, he does that sometimes," Aang said cheerfully. "Just... poof, gone."

"Damn, kid's a ninja, that's what he is," Mogui grumbled.

"I think we got batmaned," Jin agreed.

"What's that mean?"

"WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!" Katara shrieked as Mangetsu appeared behind her.

"Sorry? More importantly, there's something you lot need to see."
