"I can't believe it." Aang says as we stare out at the now fire nation city. "I know the war has spread far but Omashu always seemed, untouchable"

"Up until now it was. But now ba sing sei is the only great earth kingdom stronghold left." Sokka replies.

"This is horrible." I say

"We have to move on." Katara says.

"No." Aang says "I'm going in to find Bumi."

"Aang stop. We don't even know if Bumi's still.." Sokka starts

"What?"

"Around.." he finishes.

They look at me for clarification. "He's still there, but it's best if we move on." I say to them.

"I know you has your heart set on Bumi but there are other people who can teach you earthbending." Katara tries to reason with him.

"This isn't about finding a teacher, this is about finding my friend." Aang says.

"I understand." I say to him. "Let's go."

"A secret passage? Why didn't we just use this last time?" Sokka says as Aang tries to pry open a metal door thing.

The lid falls off and goop comes flowing out of the pipe. "That answer your question?" Aang says as he dives in.

I cautiously hop in and bend the sludge away from me as we walk. Infront of me Aang does the same by using his staff to airbend it out of they way. Katara copies what I do and Sokka, well Sokka isn't exactly not getting hit by the sludge.

I've we reach the end Aang pops open the lid and peers around. "The coast is clear." He says and we climb up.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought." Katara says as a slime monster emerges from the pipes.

"Wooooooo." Sokka says as he stumbles towards us covered in sludge. I airbend him clean. I can't believe I forgot my staff, I left it with Appa.

Once Sokka is clean he discovers that there are two tiny octopus like things on his face. He screams and tries to pull them off but I quickly cover his mouth so no one hears us. "Sh!" I say. "We don't want to get caught!"

Sokka doesn't listen and keeps screaming. "Help! They won't let go! Help!!!" Sokka screams. Aang tackles Sokka.

"Stop making so much noise, it's just a purple pentapus."Aang says. He rubs the head of one of the pentapi and it let's go. Sokka does the same to the other.

"Hey!" We hear someone say. Aang dives behind us and covers his arrow. "What are you kids doing past curfew?" A soldier asks.

"Sorry, we were just on our way home." Katara says and we turn around.

"What's wrong with him?" The soldier asks pointing to Sokka's pentapus marks.

"He has pentapox sir." I explain calmly. "It's very contagious and deadly." Sokka plays along and starts groaning. "If I were you I'd go and burn your clothes." I advise the soldier.

"Deadly? Quick run!" The soldiers say and they run away to burn their clothes.

"Haha thanks for that one Katara. I love freaking out soliders." I say.

"No bubbles?" She questions

"I'm done with nicknames, that's someone we're going to meets thing." I tell them. "And I do not want to get on their bad side."
