A/N: Here's chapter four! Read and review! Enjoy! Stylishgeek5: Thanks for the advice! Hopefully it works! (:

Skyland D. Water: I let them out of jail for a reason, that's why I'm writing the story. If they weren't out of jail then there would be no story.

Everyone else who has reviewed: Thanks so much for the reviews! Keep it up! (:

Zuko paced in the hallway in front of Aang and Iroh. He walked over to the wall and punched it, leaving an indent. "I knew this would happen! It's been three years! I knew it! Why didn't I do anything?" muttered Zuko, he was standing with his hands against the wall and looking down.

"Zuko, what happened?" asked Iroh. Zuko turned to face Aang and Iroh. He looked at the two of them. "Azula broke out this morning and now she's going to get my father." Aang and Iroh looked at Zuko.

"Are you kidding?" asked Aang.

"Why would I kid about that?" snapped Zuko. He punched the wall again.

"Zuko calm down. We'll figure this out." said Iroh as he walked closer to Zuko. "Let's tell the others and we'll figure out what we're going to do next."

"And fast." finished Aang.

"Fine. Let's go." said Zuko as he pushed the dining room doors open. When Zuko, Aang, and Iroh walked in everybody stood up. "Aang, what's going on?" asked Katara.

"Az-" started Aang but Iroh warned him to stop.

"Let Zuko tell them." he whispered. Iroh looked at Zuko and he looked at the others.

"What's going on?" asked Suki, taking hold of Sokka's hand.

"Azula broke out of her metal ward." said Zuko slowly. Silence was followed and nobody knew what to say.

"She what?" asked Ty Lee.

"You heard me Ty Lee!" snapped Zuko, small flames curling from the tips of his fingers. Mai walked over to him and looked at him.

"Calm down Zuko. Ty Lee didn't mean anything, you know that." she whispered.

"Fine," he answered. "We have to work fast though."

"So what are we going to do?" asked Sokka.

"Send a hawk to the prison. Tell them to lock down the prison." said Toph.

"Okay, that's good. But knowing Azula she would plan for the prison to be on lockdown." added Mai.

"Send the hawk anyways." said Zuko.

"And we'll meet her there. What a surprise for her." said Aang as he walked towards Katara.

"Zuko, we'll be there to help. This isn't just your problem." said Katara. "We knew this would happen someday."

"What a great day to spend your birthday, right Zuko?" asked Sokka.

"It was never that much of a special day for me." muttered Zuko.


The hawk soared through the sky towards the prison. One of the guards outside saw the hawk and held out his hand. The hawk landed on it gently and sat there quietly while the guard read the message. His eyes widen and the hawk flew away. The guard ran inside. Azula watched as the prison entered lockdown. "Good old Zuzu. Always so predictable." she said as she laughed. She already knew how to get past everything.


Appa shifted his position gently while Momo ran around him. "Aang, is Appa ready yet?" asked Katara.

"Yeah but he's not going to be able to carry everybody." he replied.

"That's okay. Not all of us are going that way." said Zuko as he walked by.

"Okay…?" said Aang, looking confused.

"You, Katara, Sokka, Suki, and Toph are going on Appa." he explained. "Mai, Ty Lee, Uncle and I are going to the prison by foot. It's not that far. I want you guys to make sure Azula and Ozai don't leave. Okay?" Aang nodded.

"Sounds good Zuko."

"Let's go!" called Zuko to Mai, Ty Lee, and Iroh. The three of them walked over and then they set off.

"Yip yip!" shouted Aang and they took off into the sky. "Remember the plan!" reminded Aang.

So I kinda realized that this chapter is mostly conversation, and certainly not my favorite. Sorry. Please review! :D Not the greatest chapter, it'll get better I promise! Just wait!
