Katara took a few final deep breaths any second they would be landing. She didn't show it but she was terrified. The fire nation capital was bound to be well defended could they even make it past the beach? Before she could worry any more she felt the bottom of the sub scraping the ground followed by two similar sounds from the other two subs. The door opened and somebody screamed "CHAAAAAARGE" everybody ran out through the doors but they all had been stopped in their tracks by what greeted them when they left. Nothing there had been nothing there were no fortifications no soldiers not even any watchtowers. Could the fire nation really have no defenses for its capitol? Just then she heard two loud cracks that sounded like lightning but the skies were clear so she assumed it was an earthbender putting a rock back down. Seconds later a loud whistling noise appeared from far away and everyone seemed to hear it, there was whispering among the some eighty confused soldiers. Just then there was a flash and two noises that were louder than anything they had ever heard she went flying into the air for several seconds when she finally landed everything went black
The sound of their boots all simultaneously hitting the metal floor of the bunker seemed to echo on forever. Leading the squad of soldiers was sergeant "Tanner" nobody knew her actual name so the name "Tanner" was given to her ironically due to the pale tone of her skin in contrast to her jet black hair and dark personality. "The princess is in this room" said their guide ask he opened the door for the soldiers. The princesses' throne room had a very tall ceiling with metal walls that glowed orange because of all the torches scattered on the columns. Tanner went up to the throne looking the young woman in the eye "you the princess?" "You should watch your tone when talking with royalty" the princess angrily sneered. "We aren't here to kiss your feet" shifting her stance "my name is Sergeant Tanner CO of azure squad" the princess raised her eyebrows when Tanner said azure. "Then why have you come here? You are wasting my time." "By order of Ozai we are here to replace the Di Lee as your guards immediately." The princess stood up as all of the torches began to flare "You dare address my father without his title then you walk into my throne room and blatantly disrespect royalty then you replace my loyal guards? I should kill you all now not appoint you as bodyguards" the princess yelled. "This isn't up to debate." Tanner yelled to her men "remove the Di Lee" all nine other soldiers raised their weapons and began to fire upon the now former bodyguards who were all caught off guard by weapons they had never seen before. Twelve men now lay dead on the ground the princess let off a scream of rage as she threw a fireball at the soldiers who quickly scattered and took cover behind the columns one of the soldier's yelled "flashbang out" as he threw the small cylinder from behind cover and waited everyone waited just waiting for that noise. The firebender just stared at the small thrown object with a look of confusion. Then it went off with a blinding light that paralyzed her as she fell to the ground in shock. "She's down move in" the soldiers quickly charged at the woman in red and cuffed her hands and legs. Tanner was inspecting the now empty throne then hopped into t with both her legs rested on an armrest with her back leaning against the other armrest " well shit, that couldn't have gone much worse."
