Sokka studied the maps that laid out in front of him, his hand holding his chin in thought. He rubbed his forehead.

"It looks weird to see you in blue again." You confessed quietly, handing him a drink and sitting next to him.

Sokka accepted the cup with a grateful smile. "I could say the same thing about you."

"I kind of liked the red, though. Not more than the blue, but still."

"Top of the morning to you!" Aang shouted gleefully, leaping into view.

Momo flew over, landing on the Avatar's shoulder.

"Sounds like you slept well." Katara noted.

"Like a baby moose-lion. I'm ready to face the Firelord."

"So what's your strategy for taking him down?" Toph asked. "Gonna get your glow on and hit him with a little 'Avatar state' action?"

Aang's face fell. "I can't. When Azula shot me with lightning, my seventh chakra was locked, cutting off my connection to all the cosmic energy in the universe."

"Well, at least you have us, Aang." You tried to offer.

Aang smiled.

"Oh, no. Sokka, do you think the fog will delay the invasion?" Katara asked.

You turned around, seeing a fog approaching the cliff.

Sokka stood. "No. That is the invasion."

You all rushed down to greet them as Toph and Aang created docks.

Sokka and Katara rushed to greet their father.

Your eyes widened as the guys from the swamp emerged.

Some earthbenders walked passed you.

"Hey, Katara." A voice spoke softly.

Katara rushed towards the figure. "Haru! It's so good to see you!"

"Ha-who?" You questioned, turning. Your gaze settled upon a young man.

"Toph, Y/n, this is Haru." Aang introduced, gesturing at him. "When we met him, his town was being controlled by the firenation, so he had to hide his earthbending."

"Katara inspired me and my father to take back our village." Haru informed.

Katara blushed.

You cocked an eyebrow.

A large man with a long white beard came up behind them, placing a hand on their shoulders. "You helped us find our courage, Katara." He informed lowly. "Now we are here to help you."

Toph turned suddenly, getting into a fighting stance. "No way. Is that-" She was lifted into the air.

"Hippo happy to see Blind Bandit!" Hippo announced, hugging her briefly before holding her out in front of him again.

"You guys here for a rematch?" Toph demanded.

"Negatory." Boulder denied, shaking his head. "The Boulder and The Hippo no longer fight for other's entertainment. Now, we fight for our kingdom!"

Toph grinned. "Sweet."

An explosion sounded from one of the ships.

You cringed as smoke lifted into the air.
