Frontal Attack
- Prologue -
BOOM! Screams. BOOM! More screams. Those noises can't be good, can they? Well, in case you were wondering, you are sitting in on one of the first Frontal Attacks on the Fire Nation. Even though it was on the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu, newly named New Ozai, this was still the first time that Earth Kingdom – and Water Tribe – warriors and benders were directly challenging the Fire Nation.
"Man your – BOOM – battle stations!" vigorously yelled the General in charge of New Ozai. Ironically, he was the father of Mai, who was currently helping her friend, Azula, Princess of the Fire Nation, in the newly captured Earth Kingdom city of Ba Sing Sei.
Now back to the story.
BOOM! The general thought as quickly as to what exactly his next move was. His city was being bombarded with by giant boulders. There were also giant balls of ice flying through the air. What was happening? Last time he checked, He was in charge of this city. He was in charge of the surrounding area. He was winning the war. Scratch that. The Fire Nation was winning the war. Oops. But seriously, how was some random group of Earth and Water benders keeping him and his family locked deep within the city? He could go outside, but the giant boulders were a big problem (in a crushing sort of way). He didn't want to risk anything, especially with his wife and young son. The only communication he had with the outside was his second-in-command, General Zu-Mong.
"Sir, a lot of the people are injured, and most of the buildings are damaged." General Zu-Mong reported.
New Ozai was now occupied mostly with Fire Nation families. They had been moved there to start a new population of Firebenders in the area. Even though the Fire Nation had access to coal and had fast moving ships for transportation, it still was not as fast as the war demanded. To add to the problems, most to all of the supply caravans to the city had been mysteriously cut off. Coincidence? I think not.
