Flashback: Appa comes to save us from the Dai Lee, after 3 weeks of him gone now we're going to find the Earth king.
We stopped by a tiny islet at the center of the lake.
"Look, we escaped from the Dai Li. We got Appa back. I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan. We're on a roll," Sokka said as he approached us.
"One good hour after weeks of trouble isn't much of a roll," Katara rebutted,
"We can build on it. If we want to invade the Fire Nation when the eclipse happens, we'll need the Earth King's support," Sokka replied optimistic.
"What makes you think we'll get it? I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't usually go that smoothly for our little gang,"
"I know, but I've got a good feeling about this. This time will be different,"
I raised my eyebrow in skepticism,
"Sokka, Long Feng is in control of the city. His conspiracy with the Dai Li is too powerful. I think we should just keep flying and leave this horrible place behind us," Katara said.
"I'm with Sweetness. I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se. And I can't even see!" Toph said as she raised her hands in the air.
" But now that we have Appa back, there's nothing stopping us from telling the Earth King the truth. About the conspiracy and the War,"
"See? Aang's with me. It's the whole reason we came here in the first place. We have to try," Sokka said as he places a hand over Aang.
Well he does have a point, I thought.
"Well, I guess if the Earth King knew the truth, things could change," Katara said.
"And we ask him to aide us in the invasion," I joined.
"I don't trust the new positive Sokka," Toph said as she stands from her sitting position, "Long Feng brainwashed you, didn't he!?"
Something crossed my eye and turned to see ships heading somewhere, "Uh guys," I said getting everyone's attention, "That's probably the Dai Li searching for us. So?"
Katara gave a determined look, "Let's fly!"
We hoped on Appa and we made our way to the city. Riding Appa bear back was weird at first but very exhilarating.
" Can we please buy a new saddle? Riding bareback is terrifying!" Toph said as she buried her face in Appa's fur. We made it closer to the palace, "There it is! That whole thing is the palace! The Earth King's chamber should be in the center!" Sokka said, "We have to be careful. Long Feng's probably warned the king that we're coming," Katara replied, "Katara's right we need to be stealthy about this," I said.
"Why would you assume that? If you ask me, I think we're just gonna sail right in and- " before Sokka could finish, a huge rock almost hits us in the air, "What was that?" Toph asked, " Surface-to-air rocks!" Sokka warned, we dodged a few more rocks. One gets launched right at Aang, but he destroys it with his hand. Another is launched at them head on, but Aang slices it cleanly in two by swinging his staff at the rock to augment his earthbending. He launches himself from Appa to the front of the palace and slams his staff into the ground, generating a massive earthen wave to knock back the palace guards. Appa lands and roars at the captain's ostrich horse, which causes it to drop the captain and run off. As we continue toward the Earth King, more guards appear and launch earth cubes at the gang. Toph and Aang use earthbending to block the attacks, while Katara and I use our waterbending to subdue the guards.
"Sorry!" I said as I strike some guards with my water whip, Katara turns around and strikes down more guards with her waterbending, though closes her right eye in a sympathetic flinch for a moment as she does so. As more guards rush toward them in an attempt to halt our progress, Toph uses her earthbending to flip the tiles of the walkway, trapping them between them and ensuring a clear passage.
"Sorry! We just need to get through to see the Earth King!" Katara said, More guards appear on the opposite end of a bridge and launch two giant statues at them. Toph and Aang create an earth igloo to block the statues. Katara creates an ice ramp to jump to the other side of the bridge and bend some water from there onto the guards tossing them into the water. Aang and I freeze them in the water as the rest all jump across. More surface-to-air rocks appear as guards are coming down a giant staircase. Toph uses earthbending to change the stairs into a ramp, causing them all to fall. She and Aang use earthbending to escalate themselves up the stairs.
"Seriously, we're actually on your guys' side! Sorry!" Sokka said, " In there!" Sokka said, They come to an area with three doors. More guards appear and Toph easily defeats them all.
"Toph, which way to the Earth King?" Sokka asked, "How should I know? I'm still voting we leave Ba Sing Se," Toph bluntly replied, "Amaya do you know?" he asked, "I don't even know Ba Sing Se how should I know where the Earth King is?" I said, Sokka decides to investigate, Toph look out, I said as an incoming rock hurls at her, I took out on fan and slice it into the air and stomped the ground creating a small earth wave knocking over five guards, "Impressive," Toph said, "Come let get to Sokka," I said, as we rush over to see Sokka at a very impressive door.
"Now that's an impressive door. It's gotta go somewhere," Sokka drops down from the rubble and attempts to kick the door open, the door does not move even slightly. Sokka starts trying to push it open, but to no avail. Toph and Aang jump in from behind and bust the door down, knocking Sokka forward in the process. He starts rubbing the back of his head, "A little warning next time?"
We arrive in the Earth King's chamber with the King sitting in his throne. Long Feng and his Dai Li agents stand in our way.
