Wow sorry for the long wait

Wow sorry for the long wait. I was debating discontinuing this story. With school and practice I've had no time on the computer. Ok here's chapter 4.

Chapter 4

"Azula!?" Katara yelled over the heat of battle.

"How the hell did she get out?"

"I don't know she couldn't have escaped without help. She cant Earthbend and her hands and feet were chained with earth shackles. And on top of it all she's coming right for us."

"I will help you." Iroh said as he walked out of a guard tower with a squad of soldiers.

"Awesome we can take her." Toph said and stood up.

"Uh…" Aang moaned and stood up shakily.

"I'm going to go stop those crazy archers." He said wobbling around on his feet.

"I don't think you should-" Katara started but he was already flying right towards them.

"He should be able to block them with airbending. Even the slightest gust during the flight of an arrow alters it course and Aang is an airbending master." Iroh said as Azula came into view. "Besides we have more important issues to deal with."

Aang knew he wouldn't be able to deflect their arrows with airbending or it would screw up the flight of his glider so he landed a few hundred feet away from them.

Predictably about 20 arrows came flying right at his head. Instead of breaking them or stopping them completely he just created a wedge of moving air so they funneled to either side of him. The mysterious band of archers' eye's widened in shock as their arrows missed their mark and fire again.

Aang deflected them again and was by now running toward them with the intention to trap them with earthbending.

They understood they were no match at close range and scattered, jumping into trees and trying to get behind him.

He didn't even check his unnaturally fast sprint and slammed a few of the unlucky enough archers who were still within his range with slabs of rock.

He dodged a few shots aimed at him from the left and took out some more of the archers. He heard another volley of arrows coming at him just in time and jumped. The arrows clattered harmlessly again a tree and he knocked down the assailants with a wave of his staff. The fighting continued in this manner for a few minutes and he saw lightning flash on the wall.

"ENOUGH!" Aang yelled and his tattoos began to glow and his eyes filled with the eerie blue light.

"YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME. FLEE IF YOU WISH TO LIVE." Aang said in the powerful voice of the avatar's long past.

A soldier fired an arrow and it hit the ball of condensed air around him and shattered harmlessly in the hurricane force winds.

Aang expanded the ball of air and soldiers started flying everywhere, battered to pieces by the sheer ferocity of his attack. When his friends were in danger no one would stand in his way.

The glow began to fade and the wind died down and he surveyed the destruction he had wreaked upon the company of archers. He opened his glider and flew back to the wall fear knotting in his chest for his friends.

As soon as Azula saw them she fired her infamous lightning at them. Iroh jumped in front and absorbed the blast. Azula's eyes widened in fear and Iroh shot the blast right back at her, no more holding back.

She barely dodged it in time by leaning back like she was doing the limbo. Toph rose a wall up and it hit her in the back of the head before she could recover from Iroh's attack and she fell forward unconscious.

Just then Aang landed and took a stance as if expecting a fight. "Where's Azula?" He asked flicking his eyes around warily.

Toph wordlessly pointed at the ground where Azula lay.

"Great I took care of those archers." He said and looked from one of his friends from the other.

"Where's Zuko?"

"I don't know." Said Iroh a worried look on his face.

Zuko ducked as a man with a sword swung at his head. He had accumulated myriad small injuries and was completely exhausted from fighting. He knocked the swordsmen off the wall and looked the wall. As far as he could see in either direction he was the last defender standing on this section of wall. Further down the wall the soldiers were scaling down the wall into the main city area. They were losing and he knew it. They were being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The fire Nation was surely conscripting soldiers from the colonies to fight in their army. The ratio of firebenders to regular soldiers was about 1 in 10.

I wonder if Ty Lee and Mai will be here? He pondered to himself as he ran toward a guard tower intending to get off this part of the wall for fear of being overwhelmed.

Aang flew up into the air to get a good view of the scene played out before him. The huge city was being penetrated mostly on the west side while the east side was faring rather well. He winced as a few of the outer building's caught fire and burned to the ground.

He flew back down to where he had left his friends on the east wall. "I just took a look around there are soldiers getting into the city on the western wall."

I know this is a bad place to end a chapter but I g2g to a regatta. Next chapter might be up on Sunday if not Monday.
