KATARA PUSHED OFF THE MAPS AND SUPPLIES FROM THE WOODEN TABLE, SO SHE AND SAI COULD GENTLY PLACE TEO ONTO IT INSTEAD. HIS FATHER WAS PANICKING OVER HIS WELLBEING, while her dark eyes flickered to the entrance of the home, seeing the rest of her gang walking through to arrive inside where they were.

"What were you doing out there?" Sai asked his son in a scolding, but gentle tone as he held onto Teo's arm, gazing over his smaller figure to see if any harm was placed upon him, but luckily found none but dust from the explosion.

Teo softly pushed his fathers hands off of him, watching Sai as he turned around to grab something off another bench in their home, "I just landed. How was I to know there'd be another bombing?"

A concerned frown takes over (Y/N)'s features hearing that information, gripping onto her staff more tightly as she shared a look with Aang, both having a bad feeling that something deeper was happening in the Earth Kingdom, and it was up to them to figure it out.

"Bombing? You mean that wasn't an accident?" Katara spoke up in a confused question, saying what the other three were thinking to themselves as she stared at Teo for answers.

The younger boy exhaled heavily while his father glanced up from his work, an unreadable expression on his face that only the Avatar spotted, "Nothing the Fire Nation does is an accident." He replied taking a cup from Sai, which was filled with water for his dry throat, "Their spies are everywhere in the city."

(Y/N) pursed her lips in thought not liking the sound of that, once again realising how much the world has gone to shambles while she's been away. She shuffles in her spot, back almost leaning into Sokka's chest, who kept a hand just grazing over her shoulder as he stood behind the three listening to the conversation.

Sai sighed loudly gaining the four's attention as he brushed his palms along his work apron, "It's not safe anywhere these days." He mumbled with distaste, turning around to pick some more tools up from his work bench to continue what he was doing before.

Teo moved his focus away from his father who trailed past them to get some more water, a beaming expression on his face staring at the two best friends, "You guys are airbenders. Do you realise what this means?" He exclaimed in a hopeful voice, making the two share a side glance warily, "We finally have a way to take the fight to the enemy. You could drop bombs on them. Rain down destruction. Air power is their weakness, and you two are air power."

The Avatar didn't say anything in response as she just stared at Teo, deep in thought wondering how badly it has gotten for them to resort to violence so easily. She has seen some things that the Fire Nation does, but not everything, and for her to save all those in need she needed to save the ones right in front of her first. Which was the Earth Kingdom people.

A loud noise came from behind her suddenly, making her and the other three turn around to see Sokka carrying their supplies, "Woah." He gapes in awe at all the machines, and objects around the room, before his eyes land on (Y/N) with a small smile, and she returned it with a smirk.

"Pretty great, huh? Dad's the mechanist to the King of Omashu." Teo told Sokka after hearing his words, and saw the amazed look on his face staring at his father's work, as a proud smile rest on the little boy's mouth knowing his good his father was.

Sai came back into view once he walked around a hallway in the small house, carrying another kettle full of water that he gently placed down, "Ah, just a fancy word for someone who wastes a lot of time tinkering." He explained more humble, patting his son's shoulder fondly when he walked past him.

"Don't listen to him. He's responsible for maintaining the nest parts of the city." Teo's tone was playful as he narrowed his eyes down on his father, before looking back at the four while Sokka goes around the room touching the mechanisms, "Like our delivery system. You've seen it, right? It's amazing."

His father was sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, giving his son a tiny smile as he listened to how fondly Teo talked about him, and shrugged off the comments, "I play but a small role."

"Hey, if everyone in Omashu were as dedicated as you, this war would be over." Teo pointed out raising his brows at his father, who looked more uncomfortable then anything, which (Y/N) picked up on again but stayed quiet, "The Fire Nation would be on their knees by now."

Sai seemed to avoid all the eyes in the room, as he shuffled in his spot nodding his head rapidly, "Yes. Yes. Yes." He mumbled quietly at first before getting louder, tapping his son's shoulder as he walked past him once more towards the other side of their home and his work space.

Katara licked her bottom lip once the conversation was finished, and placed the cup she had in her hand on the bench, "Well, we have our own part to play in the war. Right, (Y/N)?" She reminded picking up her bag, and glanced over to the silent girl who was staring down at her boots conflicted.

She only knocked out of her trance when Aang gently tugged on her sleeve, and she hummed softly in agreement, flashing a strained smile at them all, "Y-yeah, yes. Uh, which is why we have to go." She aimed the last bit at Teo, who's shoulders dropped a bit hearing it.

"Oh, right. Of course." The younger boy nodded his head sadly, making her heart squeeze a bit but he soon brighted up afterwards with a wide grin at her, a fierce glint in his eyes that reminded her of herself, "Just promise me you'll really stick it to the firebenders. Make them pay."

   She just sent him another strained smile not ready to promise anything like that yet, as she was always taught violence was the last resort to use. She goes to turn around with Aang and Katara trailing behind her, and glanced sideways to spot Sokka still gawking over the stuff inside Sai's shop, "Sokka, come on."

Normally he would have listened to her straight away, but this time he didn't hear her and was too focused on the object in his hands, "This stuff is incredible." He gushed moving the metal thing around, fingers picking up the ends of it as he hears it rattle, "I mean, look at this."

"Those are for cleaning under your toenails." Sai moved up to where Sokka was touching his stuff, a finger pointed at the said object with a teasing smile which made the male instantly drop it with a deadpanning expression, "It can get bloody."

(Y/N) snickered to herself when Sokka stood up rigged and placed the glasses on his head back down too, as she caught onto Sai's wink that he sent her making her giggle some more realising he was joking. She holds out her hand for Sokka to take, to which he grabs with his wrapped up one and had a pout as she lead him outside with the other two before letting go, much to his displeasure.

"Did you see the mechanism on that sorting machine?" Sokka was babbling about what he saw inside Sai's work shop, as they all began to walk outside into the area where the bomb just happened, "It's spring-powered. Ingenious. Should've done that with our kayak racks back home."

Aang slowed his pace down when he noticed his sister wasn't beside him anymore, and looked back to see her sadly frowning at the destruction around them, and how all the injured people were still where they were last time without any actual help. He knew by the way she clenched her fists, she was blaming herself for that and it made his heart squeeze for her in sympathy.

Her (E/C) eyes were a bit teary eyed watching the people try to fix their wounds with very little they had, the cries and screams coming from them would haunt her forever also if she didn't do something. Innocent people had gotten hurt because she didn't do anything, and they lost their homes also in effect. Nothing was fair about that, and she knew she needed to step up and do something about it as the Avatar.

Katara also stopped when she noticed both airbenders weren't behind them, and grew worried which had her grabbing Sokka's arm to stop him, "(Y/N)? Aang?" She wondered concerned, walking back up to her with Sokka hot on her heels looking at the girl worriedly, more than usual.

She sniffled a bit rubbing the edge of her nose, glancing over at the people trying to lift a broken craft off a child's foot that was injured in the bombing to, "This place used to be incredible. A place Aang and me couldn't wait to see." Her voice was a bit throaty, as she glanced to Aang who squeezed her arm and then back to the siblings in front, "A place where amazing things were created, not destroyed. It's my responsibility to help these people."

"How are you gonna do that?" Sokka's voice was a soft one as he questioned her, eyes scanning her face as he stepped forward to stand beside Katara which was closer to the girl then he was before, and share a look with his sister who smiled at him.

"Being the Avatar isn't just about fighting. It's about helping people, like Teo and his father and everyone in this city." She tells the trio around her, tapping her pointer finger against her staff in thought as she thinks for a few seconds, and felt Aang wrap his arm around her free one reassuringly.

"What about getting to the North?" Katara asked the girl confused, but also didn't want to question her thoughts on what was happening, as she tilted her head to the side a bit, "Didn't Kyoshi tell you you had to get there to prevent a tragedy?"

(Y/N)'s lips slowly spread out into a wide smile that reached her eyes, causing Sokka's eyes to widen having never seen that before on her, as looks between them all, "Yes, and I'm gonna do that, but I have a duty here too first. If I'm gonna save the world, I have to do it one person at a time. That's why I'm staying in Omashu because I wanna help, and I think I can. Because I'm the Avatar."

She was back inside the house Teo and Sai were in, as she tells them who she actually was and why the group was in the Earth Kingdom. Both people had different reactions, where as Teo was beaming with excitement, Sai looked like he was about to pass out from how wide his eyes were.

Sokka stood behind her with his arms crossed which added to her intimidating demerara, and she took a step forward staring at the two in front with a serious expression on her face, "Now, tell me about these bombings."

AFTER FINDING OUT WHERE THE BOMBERS WOULD BE LOCATED NEXT FROM TEO, HIM, (Y/N) AND AANG HAD LEFT THE HOUSE TO GO AND EXPLORE THE PLACE, MUCH TO SOKKA AND SAI'S CONCERNED NOT WANTING THEM TO GO. But Katara, like the peace maker she is reassured them that the three would be alright, since the Avatar was literally with them, and no one would attack them so high up.

The wind rustled through her (H/C) locks as she flew through the sky on her glider, feet touching the bottom of it as she gripped the handles up front. She was flying in the middle of the boys, with Aang behind her and Teo up front in his mechanism to fly in the air, which was his wheelchair that was made to do so.

Teo was cheering happily as they flew over the busy town of the Earth Kingdom, making (Y/N) grin to herself hearing the noise and used her bending to propel her forward more, which sent a gust towards Teo who laughed at the acceleration from her.

Aang did a spinning twirl in the air underneath his best friend, who chuckled leaning her face down towards him and he sent back a dorky grin as he came up from underneath to now fly in front of her, on his matching glider to. This caused her to steed up a bit more, trying to chase after him.

She heard the surprised gasps from those on the ground, heart warming a bit spotting the young children waving up at them. This made her send a soft gust of air down to them, which caused their hairs to ruffle in the wind and waved to the children who all giggled watching her disappear back with the other to.

"There's the cave!" Teo announced over the rustling wind to the best friends once they had gotten closer, causing them both to send a massive gust of air to direct them up towards the peak of the mountain where Teo pointed to.

When they arrived at the cave Teo had found a lantern that he switched on for them, as it was a bit dark inside the hallways to get inside. Aang was pushing his wheelchair by the handles, while (Y/N) was walking along beside them mentally kicking herself about how she wished she could firebend, which would make things easier for them.

"People who saw the bombings also saw a burst of green flame. Tincar salt burns green." Teo was explaining to his new friends, holding the lantern so they could see the walls around them and the path in front, "It's a mineral tanners to cure animal skins. They came up here to dig it out of the mountain. Just stuff I picked up from my dad."

He grew a bit flustered in the cheeks from the soft smile (Y/N) was sending him, as she walked a bit closer to his side now, "He must be really proud of you." She chirped patting his arm gently, before fixing up his googles on his head that were croaked, "I know I would be."

The redness in his cheeks grew more at her words and touch, and he shyly looks down at his fingers which he started playing with, "I guess so." His tone was a bit distant, making the best friends share a look and glance down at Teo worried, "I think he sometimes wishes I was more like him. Don't get me wrong, he's incredible. After the Fire Nation attacked our village, he kept us alive. He built our life here. He's always said that it's just me and him, and he'd do anything to protect us."

"And you want him to do more." Aang summarized from the long speech he gave them, the male coming to stand beside his best friend who was already stood in front of Teo since they came to a stop in the middle of the pathway.

"I want him to see that we have to do everything we can to save the world, because if not us, then who?" AT his words it had (Y/N) pausing in her steps when they started walking again, and thought about it for a few seconds. She knew the people of this world were fighting, but probably not enough or were fighting but getting into trouble for doing so. She just hopped now that she was officially back, people's spirits would be lifted up more to want to fight.

Aang was back to pushing Teo's wheelchair more down the path, which lead to somewhere deeper inside the mountain and all over the ground was much darker dirt, compared to the one outside. A few pieces of wooden stools were in the middle of the place, as they came to a stop to investigate.

"Someone was here recently." Teo informed what the airbending duo were both sensing, as they share a wary look with one another which had Aang taking beside Teo while she walked around to spot anything out of the ordinary. Something didn't feel right, she could feel it by how her stomach was churning.

Her (E/C) eyes narrowed down on some green substance on the rock wall, making her fingers lift up to graze it a little bit, just as Teo picked up a glass container that was almost empty, but seemed to have the same green stuff inside of it. She turned away from Teo called out to her, and jogged back to the other two to took a peak at what was found.

"If you mix tincar with salt water then boil it down, you get this. Blasting jelly." He began to explain to the best friends, who's eyes were going wider by the second as he talked, "A few jars could blow half the neighborhood sky-high." He glanced up seeing how her face twisted up, and he knew she had figured something out, "What is it? What did you find?"

Her stomach drops to her butt spotting a familiar set of clothes in a basket, her mouth doing dry as she went to her knees in front of it, touching the pieces with shaky fingers, "The firebenders weren't behind the explosion." She breathed out in dread, turning to stare at Aang and Teo with a horror filled gaze not believing this was true.

Wasting no time after this reveal, the trio were straight away back on the course to the city, and flew all the way to Teo's home as they made sure he kept up with them in his flying wheelchair. She was the first to land knowing Aang would look after Teo, as she grabbed the circular jug holding the jelly in her spare hand and ran inside into the house.

"Sokka! Sokka-" She ran up towards him to which made her trip over her own feet, making him quickly move away from the table and act to catch her by the arms, as she was double over face first holding her staff and the jug.

"Woah, woah, sweetheart-" He rapidly called out hearing her frantic breathing, and stabilized her by holding her forearms tightly, as he moved one up to nudge her chin up gently trying to look her in the eyes, "Calm down, what's wrong?"

She had no time to feel flustered at his touch, but stead shakes her head as she glanced around the room not finding Katara making her stomach twist even more, "Where's your sister?" She spluttered out in question to him, pulling back as she heard the door open again meaning Aang was walking inside now.

"Uh, I haven't seen her all day. I was helping Sai with his airship model." He answered her a bit confused, raising his brows up at her as he grabbed onto her elbows again getting more worried, "He just left to show it to the general at the palace. Why? What is it?"

She gritted her teeth knowing who Katara was most likely with, and wouldn't blame her but it also wasn't great either, "Aang, Teo and I found where the bombers have been getting their explosives." She placed the jug onto the table before him, "They're making blasting jelly in a cave up on the mountain."

He furrowed his brows still confused as to what she was saying, and grabbed the top of the jug as she continued to explain to him, "That's not all. We also found these." A bitterness coated her tone showing him the clothes in her hand, "The robes from the turnip cart."

Now Sokka didn't want to say he was right about Jet from the start, but had to hold his tongue knowing he would upset (Y/N) even more, "So it wasn't the firebenders behind the explosion? It was-" Before he could finish, the door once more opened with a familiar voice talking.

"You're not gonna believe this. I know who's behind the bombings." Katara ran up to the three panting out of breath, which caused them to look at each other with frowns not understanding what she meant, and knew she was told the wrong information by Jet.

And as (Y/N) expected Katara didn't believe them when Sokka told her who the bombers were, and now a massive fight was occurring between the siblings. The airbender best friends stayed back watching the scene playout, sharing worried side glances with one another not knowing what to say or do.

"No, Jet's not the bad guy. Sai is."

Sokka groaned frustraighted at his sister, annoyed how she believed Jet over (Y/N) whom she knew much longer then that male, "Are you kidding me? Sai has done nothing but help us." He exclaimed back, waving his hands around to gesture to the room they were in, "Jet's a con artist who lied to our faces."

"He didn't lie." Katara pressed on just as upset about the accusation against the male, whom she owes for saving her and also helping her break the wall she had up for bending. Her dark eyes flickered to (Y/N)'s ones for support, but was met with her head instead, as the Avatar didn't want to get involved.

"He didn't tell the truth." Aang was the one who spoke up his input quietly, leaning his elbows on the table as he frowned at Katara for how she's acting, which had Sokka throwing his hands up in agreement.

"Because he couldn't! He's fighting the firebenders, and he has to protect himself." Her voice was growing louder with each word that flew out of her mouth, and watched Sokka lean back onto the table beside (Y/N) as he tilted his head at her unimpressed, "You don't know what he's already lost. Besides, I saw Sai talking to the firebende. He's the traitor."

"You don't know what you saw!" Sokka fired back now shouting also, and leant up from his comfortable spot beside the Avatar, glaring a bit at his younger sister, "For all we know, Sai could be working with the king's men to root out spies. He's headed to the palace right now. He could be reporting everything."

"You're wrong--!"

His loud scoff overpowered the waterbenders speech, and he pointed a finger right at her face making sure to get his point across, "This is just like you, Katara! Willing to believe anything as long as it helps you!"

Now it was getting personal between them, so the girl retaliated back just as low as he went, "This is just like you! Never believing anything I say! I'm so sick of you treating me like I'm a little girl!"

"Then grow up!" When he yelled that in her face the entire room went quiet, an uncomfortable silence between them as Katara's face fell and she span around to hide how hurt she was, "Where are you going?" He asked in a tried tone, watching as she marched up to the front door.

She paused just as the door with her hand touching the handles, and looked over her shoulder at her brother with a scowl, "To prove you're a jerk!" She sneered before opening the door, and slammed it shut behind her, making the airbenders both wince at the noise.

"Oh, yeah?" Sokka laughed humorously through his teeth, shaking his head as he points a finger at the door she went out of, "Well, I don't need proof of that!" He finished saying before he realised what he said, and went a bit flushed in the cheeks hearing (Y/N)'s snickering beside him.

"Don't worry, water boy." She squirmed up beside him with a small smile, wrapping her arm around his forearm which had him tensing more flustered, and leant into her touch subconsciously, "I give it about five seconds, and Kat will come back here to say you were correct."

He blinked at her like a stunned fish out of water, as she quite literally held up her fingers and started moving them down while counting down from five smiling widely. On the last second the doors swung open showing Katara shocking him, but made Aang snicker to himself knowing his sister was right like always.

"You were right." Katara came rushing up to them with a fierce expression on her face, the blue scaff she had on no longer there around her neck, "Shut up and gloat later. Right now, we need to stop Sai. Jet planted a bomb on him."

The three's eyes went wide hearing that information, and they quickly got up to waste no time lingering around in the shop. The group ran through the doors in a hurry, as Sokka questioned them frantically also, "What's the fastest way to the palace?"

"It's at the highest point in the city, so we need to--" (Y/N)'s answer was suddenly cut off by a blast of fire shot in front of them, causing the four to exclaim in alarm and throw their arms up to protect themselves from the heat. Once the fire cleared they all looked up to see who made it, and it caused her jaw to drop a little bit.

Oh great, handsome male is back.... she thought to herself in a sweat drop, seeing Prince Zuko stood there beside his calm Uncle who waved a bit in greeting to her, like his nephew just didn't attack them. She timidly waved back a bit, until Sokka gently slapped her hand down with a scolding look.

She sighed through her nose knowing Zuko wasn't going to let them go, not without her by the way he stared her down intently. So she nodded her head at the three behind her, "Go. Get to the palace and stop Sai." She briefly turned back to the Prince, a wide smirk slowly spreading across her mouth that looked more evil then anything, "This is my fight now."

Aang went to grab the girls arm not wanting to leave her alone, but she just sent him and the other two a reassuring wink before pushing them back a bit away from her. Sokka bit his bottom lip not feeling good about ditching her, but still grabbed onto Katara and Aang's arms, and he started to pull them along away from her to she could fight.

"Keep your firebending in check," Uncle Iroh warned his nephew when he went forward, grabbing him gently by the shoulder as he talked, "or you'll have the Earth Kingdom Army to deal with." He finished not liking that Zuko wanted to fight the Avatar, but didn't say anything about it as he let him go to stand back away.

(Y/N) eyed Zuko down a bit shamelessly when he took off his robe around his shoulders, making her swallow hard to recompose herself hearing his bold declaration, "I don't need fire to defeat this girl." He grunted throwing the clothing away, and started charging towards her.

She pushed one of her boots back behind her while the other stayed still, lifted up her right hand to press against her side and the other was outstretched in a fight stance. She beckoned him closer with a smirk, to which he jumped up in the air with a twist and tried to kick her sideways, but she gracefully dodged his attack and jumped up when he tried to leg swipe her next.

He did that move again making her snicker to herself as she dodged it, and twirled her body around his as she ducked, just as his arm missed her head. However, she wasn't so lucky from the landing as he ended up hitting her, and it threw her balance off making her yelp with her falling onto the ground harshly.

"Ow, that's gonna leave a mark...." She whimpered a bit to herself, holding the side of her head as she looked up through one eye to spot a panting Zuko stood over. Both of her eyes went wide at this, and she started squirming away along the ground, before she blasted air out of her palms to bounce herself back up.

He tried to kick her again but she just grabbed the back of his leg, and pushed him away with some force. She did have the upper hand for a second, but he recovered by sending a kick to her stomach that made them both grunt, and she skidded across the ground roughly once more in result.

Her back landed against a pole making her yelp in pain once more, but didn't have time to worry as Zuko was stomping towards her. Quickly acting she stumbled back up onto her feet, and didn't think twice as she ran into the town where the crowd was ignoring him yelling at her to stay put.

She ran towards a market stall as she slid across the table, and onto the other side of it. Zuko ended up kicking another stall across from the one she was in, and picked up a wooden pole from the floor that was holding the structure together. Seeing this she started throwing plates at him, that he blocked each time with the stick in his hands.

The next move (Y/N) did was she lifted up both of her hands, bending the air around the left over plates as she made them levitate around her and she sent them flying towards Zuko, one by one. He of course blocked most of them, but one which hit him square in the head causing her to wince a bit knowing it would of hurt.

"You know instead of fighting, why don't we just sit down and have a nice drink?" She offered in a nervous tone as she used a basket to stop his stick, making it stuck inside the material as they pushed and shoved, "Maybe even get to know each other as well."

He gave her a weird look like he couldn't believe what she was saying, and gritted his teeth as he tried to pull free the stick in the basket, "Stop trying to flirt with me mid fight!" He exclaimed in a higher pitched way, his one good eyes giving her a glare, "What on earth is wrong with you?!"

She just chuckled sheepishly not understanding herself either, but twisted her body around so the stick slammed against the table, and she pulled the basket out of the wood. She then threw the basket at his face blinding him for a second, and she kicked the stick which also flicked back into his face.

Using this an escape she started to run the opposite direction of him, and she just turned around to spot him right behind her going to throw another kick that she dodged just in time by ducking to the floor. She grabbed another basket that he kicked the lid off, and twisted his arm behind him swiftly as she slammed the basket onto his head to block his view.

He grunted trying to break free but her hold was stronger, an she used her bending to jump back onto the table behind them. Though Zuko used his quick reflexes to trip her from under her legs, causing her to yell out as she slammed onto the table hard, creating more pain in her side.

Suddenly out of nowhere a lady carrying a fan appeared, and started to frantically smack the Prince with it, using the object as a weapon, "How dare you hit that young girl?" She scolded through her hits on Zuko, who only protected himself from the harsh hits he was receiving.

(Y/N) smiled to herself watching the woman beat up Zuko with the fan, before she spined on her back to send a gust of air out and shot herself up from off of it into another stall. This time it was a bunch of hanging materials, and she ran through it, but felt something wrap around her waist.

Pausing mid way she glanced down wondering why she couldn't move, and saw a cloth around her. She made a confused noise at this, turning back around to see a scowling Zuko holding the other end of the material. Freaking out at this she tried to move forward, but he easily pulled her back causing them to now be in a tug of war with one another.

They both grunted when they landed on their stomachs on the ground together, both their hands stuck in the material that connected them still. At the same time they looked at each other with wide eyes, as (Y/N) shot air out of her palms to push herself back up quicker then him and goes to run away from him again.

He chased her around another stall in the market, as he kept blocking each way for her to escape in causing her to grow a bit annoyed at the movement. She didn't show it, but he sure did by how he slammed the front of the stall to grab her attention, "Stand and fight!"

"For what? Why is this so important to you?" She asked in disbelief feeling her locks blow in the wind around them, her wide eyes staring into his glaring ones, as she kept her hands up in a defense pose just in case.

"You're an enemy of the Fire Nation." He answered her like it was the most simplest thing in the world, moving his face closer to where hers was with each word he growled out.

"And that's it? That's why you've been hunting me for three years?" (Y/N)'s voice was now a softer one, along with her features as she stared at Zuko through her lashes as she didn't realise how she just exposed herself about having his book full of notes.

His face also changed from the raged one to a curious expression, his eyes narrowing down on her figure in front of him, "How do you know it's been three years? Unless..." He trailed off watching her become a bit nervous now, and he remembered that he didn't have his book, "You have my notebook!"

He sneered angrily now as he made a flame appear in his palm, and grunts as he goes to aim it at her but she dodged it yelping just in time. Her eyes widen watching the flame land on a cart full of cabbages, as that was now in fire because of the Prince which caused people to yell out in horror.

She didn't make any move to run on after Zuko, eyes trained on his figure as he flees as she felt a tone of emotions flooding through her in that moment, but there was no time for that now. She quickly stands up to run over to the stalls on fire, spinning in her spot as she sent a massive gust of air that blew away the flames, moving down to the others to do the same also.

Her movements were fluent as she used her bending to get rid of the flames, unaware of a certain Prince still lingering behind as his Uncle was the one to pull him away from watching her. She was also unaware of the incoming guards to arrest her, as she finished off putting out the last fires.

When she finished she exhaled heavily with a neck crack, and went to move forward but felt a strong force around her foot, causing her to grunt as she was stick. She took a peek down to see that someone had eartbended her feet into the ground, and captured her inside the hold making her panic.

Earth Kingdom guards now surrounded her from each side blocking her off, and it caused her to sweat drop nervously realising the situation she was now in, "Oh, this is just great.."
