Team Avatar were setting up a small camp a few miles near the prison. Zuko wanted to make a stop to set up something. That had been nearly twenty minutes ago.
"Ugh what is taking so long?" Sokka asked as he twirled his boomerang around.
"I'm bored" Aang said as he too as becoming impatient.
"I'm always bored." Mai said as she was spinning her knife around.
"Well you don't have to wait any longer." Zuko said as he came out of the shadows.
He was wearing his Blue Spirit garments.
Mai just look at him with suspicious eyes.
"You're the Blue Spirit?" Mai asked Zuko.
"I thought everyone knew that by now?"
"Nope." Sokka answered.
Zuko grabbed his mask and pull it on. He tossed Aang his back and approached Appa.
"What are you doing?" Aang asked.
"I'm going to check it out." Zuko replied.
He jump on the Sky Bison's back and head towards the prison.
It was the middle of the night which was Zuko advantage. Sadly he couldn't Fire Bend for some reason. But he was just going to scout out ahead.
(9 minutes later)
Zuko was now near the walls of the prison. He threw a rope near a ledge and began to climb. He has to be careful, or he will fall into the boiling water and be fried. Fortunately he made it up the wall. He look both ways and sprinting toward the main compound. As he made a right turn he saw a lone prison guard. He went up behind him and knocked him out with the pommel of his sword. He dragged the unconscious guard to a dark area and continued to search for her sister. He was at the courtyard of the prison was heading to the cells. Suddenly lights were shined on him! He was caught. And now he must escape."IT'S THE BLUE SPIRIT!" A guard from the tower shouted.
Suddenly a dozen soldiers rushed out and encircled the prince. One charge and was stabbed by Zuko's sword. It wasn't a fatal wound but it left the soldiers unconscious. Now there was a stand off with the soldiers/prison guards and the Blue Spirit.
Suddenly one solider shot a fire ball which the Zuko blocked with his swords. Now all the soldiers came to attack the prince. Swords clashed with Zuko's dual wielding swords. Spears jabbed the prince only to be met by a kick or a punch. Archers were shooting at the enemy but only cause more casualties due to friendly fire. These were the Yuyan Archers. These were just regular soldier who have some experience with a bow. But this time Zuko wasn't going to be shot by an archer. No he need to escape. He had took out 20 soldiers and guards but there were still to many. But he had a plan. He grabbed a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground. Everyone was blinded by the smoke. But as the fog cleared up. Zuko was no were to be seen.
"Where is he?" A soldier look confused.
"Sir look!" Another one point to the sky.
He looked to see the Blue Spirit flying on a Sky Bison.
Zuko had escape but failed to bust Azula and Ty Lee out. Now he need to the others quickly before the Fire Nation found them.
