I've had this idea for the longest time and finally decided to continue working on it. This does follow closely to some parts of the movie and even pieces of the series, but there were certain things that I changed to better fit the storyline. I really loved working on this and I hope that you too would enjoy reading it.

And just a heads up, Aang will not be the avatar of the story. He will only be able to bend air, his natural element. That way, it could be more focused on Suki. I hope that you won't be too disappointed…

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar or any part of Disney...


Summary: Tired of being put down just because she was a woman, Suki disguises herself and takes her injured father's place to join the Earth Kingdom's army against the impending forces of the Fire Nation. Based off of the Disney movie, Mulan.


A lone guard walked along the great border wall protecting the outer rims of the Earth Kingdom. Things were quiet as usual on the top of the strong country. The guard kept his steady pace along the safety of the wall. He began to whistle in boredom as he fixed the position of his hard hat.

Without warning, a falcon flew swiftly past and knocked the guard's helmet off. The patroller leaned over the wall and watched as his helmet spiraled down into the darkness of the ground below. He hit his fist in the wall in frustration.

"Stupid bird," He muttered.

As he began to straighten back up, something seemed to flicker in the dim moonlight below. A single chained grappling hook appeared and latched to the wall. With a step back, he pushed his hands forward with force. A small piece of the wall broke off and tumbled down, taking the sharp hook with it.

Before he knew it, more chain ropes flew upward. The guard blasted little sections of the wall to evade the attacks, but more continued to come at a faster pace. Seeing no way to deal with this on his own, he called for help to signal the others of the impending attack. Gruffy looking rogue soldiers blocked his way. Instead, he quickly scurried up the short tower to light the signal.

The guard snatched the burning torch stationed on the side of the tower. As he turned, he stopped short in fear. Across the blackened fire pit stood a big built man dressed in a distinct robe of red and black with an evil look in his eye. The falcon landed on his right shoulder. With a quick breath, the guard threw the torch into the pit. Flames erupted between them. Soon, fire signals were lit along the wall of guards heeding the word. The guard confidently looked the leader in the eyes.

"Now all of the Earth Kingdom knows you're here." He boldly replied, a small squeak escaping the back of his throat.

The evil man broke the country's flag and placed it into the fire, letting it burn.

"Perfect." He replied, smiling cruelly.

General Hakoda swiftly marched into Emperor Iroh's palace followed by Lieutenant Bato. Iroh put down his tea, seeing the distress on his best general's face. Hakoda and Bato bowed in respect before going on with the report.

"Your Majesty, the Fire Nation has crossed our Southern Border." Hakoda began, his voice filled with dread.

"Impossible," The Emperor's advisor, Pakku, began matter-of-factly, "Nothing can get through the outer wall of Ba Sing Se." Iroh put his hand up to silence his advisor.

"Ozai is leading them." Hakoda added.

Iroh frowned at the news. He had heard of the Fire Nation ruler's plight in taking over the world. It was only a matter of time before his dreaded army had reached his borders.

Hakoda continued, "We'll set up defenses around the palace immediately."

"No! Send the troops to protect my people!" Iroh paused and turned to his waiting advisor. "Pakku,"

"Your highness?" His advisor asked politely.

"Send out messages across the country. Call up reserves and as many new recruits as possible. The safety of the people is my greatest concern."


Okay, to fix any confusion that there may be… The people have begun to live mixed together. There are still going to be the separate countries named after the sort of benders, but they basically live together happily. The outcast is of course the Fire Nation. They started the war to take control of the world.

Most of the characters introduced will be living in the Earth Kingdom and Ba Sing Se as a place of refuge, especially since Iroh became Emperor. Now the story behind that is he was close friends to the previous emperor who had no more kin to take his place. When things came to his end, he wanted Iroh to become the new emperor for the good of the people. There was a bit of controversy when that first happened, but the people quickly warmed up to their new beloved leader.

There will be more, I promise! Please R&R!
