Don't own ATLA or DP. And yes I have had my Jazz and Sokka couple planned since the beginning of this book, just look at the swamp! And I've had the kiss planned since the chase. Bu now it's here, the drill and after this I am going to skip a few chapters because to me they were all fillers from the Drill all up to Lake Laogi and without further ado, the drill!
Danny smirked at his sister, he had seen what happened plain as day when she kissed Sokka. Definatly a blushy moment. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as Aang flew down looking serious "What's wrong?" Danny asked worriedly.
Aang looked away "We have a problem" he stated. In minutes they were at the wall and together Aang, Toph and Tucker bended the group up the wall. Sam crossed her arms "So spill, what is so huge that Appa has to wait?" she asked.
Suddenly the group caught sight of a giant drill heading towards the city "That" he stated. Once they reached the top the three travelers grouped together "We've made it to Ba Sing Se and we're still not safe, no one is" the new mother cried.
Danny put a comforting hand on her shoulder just as some guards decided to arrive "Hey! No civilians allowed on the wall!" one cried out. Aang stepped up "I'm the Avatar" he said. Danny stepped up as well "And I'm the Phantom Bender" he told them.
Both boys exchanged looks before nodding "Take us to whoever is in charge" they told the men.

Danny scowled in annoyance at the general in front of him "What do you mean our help isn't needed?" he asked. The general didn't even look up "Exactly that, it isn't needed" he said. Danny saw Aang roll his eyes as the general got up, leading them to the walls edge "I assure you that no one can penetrate this wall" he said.
Toph smirked "What about the Dragon Of The West, he got through" she said. The general seemed nervous at that "Well…he was quickly expunged" he said. Then he collected his nerves "That is why it is called Ba Sing Se, the impenetrable city, after all they don't call it Na Sing Se" he said with a laugh.
When no one joined in his face fell "That means Penetrable city" he said. Toph rolled her eyes "Thanks for the lesson" she said sarcastically. Then Tucker stepped up "But we still have the drill problem" he stated.
The general walked over to a looking glass with a smile "Actually I have sent in an elite group of earth benders called the Terra Team" he stated. Jazz looked thoughtful "You know, I like that, we need a group name" she said.
Sokka grabbed her hand "I agree like maybe the Boomerang squad? See it good because it's got Aang in" he said. Danny shook his head "Not going to happen" he stated. Meanwhile the earth benders attempted to attack the drill and they saw the small group of elite benders being taken down by two figures.
Sam turned towards the frightened general "Still don't need our help?" she asked. The general remained silent.
Line break
Danny stared in puzzlement down at the giant drill "So the question is, how do we stop that thing?" he stated. Everyone instantly turned to Jazz and Sokka. The new couple looked at the younger teens in confusion "What?" they asked.
Tucker shrugged "You two are the smart ones, come up with some thing" he said. Sokka glared "You know, being the smart ones are a lot of pressure" he said. Katara snorted "And your also the complaining guy" she stated. Danny leaned closer to Sam "And the spazzy girl" he whispered. Sam snickered quietly.
Line break
Katara and Sam both tried to heal the benders who were taken down earlier "What's wrong with them? They don't look injured" the general said. Katara and Sam both put away their bending water "Their chi is blocked, who did this to you?" Sam asked one of the benders.
The man groaned "Two girls ambushed us, one hit me with some quick jabs and I just couldn't move, and then she cart wheeled away" he told her. Katara's face darkened "Ty Lee" she stated. Sam sighed "She may not look dangerously but she knows the human body, it's like she takes you down from the inside" she said.
Jazz suddenly perked up "That's it, that's how we'll take down the drill" she said. Sokka's eyes widened "Your right, we can get inside of the drill and take down it's weak point" he stated, looking questioning at Jazz who nodded. Danny smiled in determination "We'll take out the drill from the inside" he said.
Line break
The small group stood in one of the trenches created by earth benders "So how will we get over there without being seen?" Sam asked. Tucker smirked "We'll make a tunnel" he stated. Toph nodded and together they created a tunnel leading under the earth.
Once under the two benders closed it "It's so dark here" Sokka whined. Danny rolled his eyes but lit a flame in his palm. They swiftly made it to their destination and they piled out under the giant drill. Aang quickly bended himself up and went to help the others up.
However he stared as Toph and Tucker stayed on the ground "We'll stay out here" Tucker stated. Aang nodded and went to join the others as both benders created two stone pillars that connected with the top of the giant machine.
Meanwhile inside the other part of the group wandered into a boiler room "We need a schematic of this machine, something to tell us what the pressure points are" Sokka stated. Jazz suddenly shocked them by taking Sokka's boomerang and cut of a small piece of machinery causing a mist to rise up.
Danny turned on her "What is wrong with you? Are you trying to get us killed!?" he asked. Jazz calmly handed Sokka back the weapon "Think, this size of a machine must have mechanics to fix it along with the designs, something breaks…" she trailed off.
Sokka smirked "And someone comes running to fix it, man that's smart" he said. Jazz smiled as they got hiding spots. They didn't have to wait long when a mechanic came in looking at a drawing. Sam and Katara easily froze him allowing Sokka to take the schematic.
They rushed into another room and Sokka unfolded the drawing for them to see. He pointed to the middle "This is where we are and this is the outer shell, it looks like the two layers are connected by these beams so if we can destroy the beams then the whole thing will come crashing down" he explained.
Swiftly with a nod they took off towards them.
Line break
Sokka gulped as he neared "Well it looks like these are really thick and we'll have to split up to destroy them" he said. Sam laughed "What do you mean we? Your not going to be doing anything" she stated. Sokka grinned "Because I'm the idea guy and the rest of you are the cut stuff up with bending guys, together we're Team Avatar!" he stated.
Katara shook her head "Not going to happen" she said as Danny and Sam moved over to another beam. Danny quickly turned to Aang "Remember what Toph taught you, don't put forth all your effort, just weaken it before applying the final blow" he stated.
Then he and Sam went over to a beam and used their water bending to cut through the beam until they got part way. They steadily moved from beam to beam doing that until they caught up with Aang "Now we just need to get to the top" he said.
Suddenly the drill began to shake "Congratulations crew, the drill has made contact with the wall of Ba Sing Se" a voice announced. The teens exchanged horrified looks that increased as a blue fire shot towards them.
They looked in horror at the Fire Nation princess who smiled at them with their friends by her "Wow Azula you were right! It is the Avatar and Phantom Bender!" Ty Lee stated. Suddenly she gazed at Sokka "And friends" she said in a flirting voice.
Sokka's eyes became clouded and he waved "Hey" he muttered. Jazz stomped over and pulled him away while they took off running. They quickly reached a fork in the road and Danny, Aang, and Jazz took off in one direction while Sokka, Sam, and Katara went the other way.
Swiftly Danny's group found their way to the top and they headed closer to the wall. Danny shouted in alarm as a sudden boulder came crashing down by him. He glared upward to where the stupid general was trying to stop the drill with launching pathetically small boulders.
Aang went up to a small area "Right here" he called. Danny nodded and handed Aang his canteen and while Aang used water bending to create a hole Danny used fire bending and Jazz used a particularly sharp air bending attack to break through.
Danny then redirected the blast sent at them by Azula with a groan "I'll keep Azula busy, you guys take this thing down" he shouted above the noise. Swiftly he turned and launched an air blast at Azula that she avoided by putting her hands in front of her like a javelin. Danny continually retaliated with different bending techniques from air and fire.
Line break
Sam, Katara, and Sokka ran down the hall before coming to a dead end by a pipe stating wall slurry. Sam shrugged and opened it "It's the rock from the wall mixed with the water, we can use it as an exit" she said. Quickly they all jumped in, narrowly avoiding Mai's daggers.
The water rushed them out to the back. Katara turned in surprise to see Ty Lee following them. On instinct her and Sam bended the water in the slurry, effectively trapping the young acrobat. Quickly they were joined by Toph and Tucker "Need some help?" they asked.
Sokka nodded "Yes,, if we can get this thing backed up then when the other three deliver the final blow it will be ready to pop!" he exclaimed. Toph and Tucker easily did so, backing it up for quite a ways back.
Line break
Danny swiftly knocked Azula to the side while Aang and Jazz began running up the wall to prepare to attack. Danny smiled as Azula climbed back up just as Aang and Jazz hit the final strike.
Danny unfortunately went flying at the high energy air blast but he hit one of the pipes that stopped him while Azula Unfortunatly continued flying at high speeds. Jazz grinned sheepishly at Danny as he groaned while Aang while the sludge out of his face while the drill collapsed "Sorry Danny!" she called.
Danny smiled "No problem, the thermos was worse than this!" he shouted back. Jazz rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Line break
That evening the group stood on the wall looking into Ba Sing Se "Well I just want to say good job Team Avatar" Sokka stated. Sam punched him "I told you, no team names" she threatened before leaving, the rest of the group minus Jazz following.
Jazz lightly kissed his cheek "I like the name" she whispered before they followed the rest of them.
By this time Zuko and Iroh had come to Ba Sing Se as refugees, deciding it was the only safe haven from Azula. Unfortunatly at this time they met Jet, a young teen whose family had been killed by the Fire nation. Jet originally was leader of the Freedom Fighters until Katara ruined it after Jet attempted to drown a village. Jet was later aboard the ferry with Zuko and Iroh having quit the Freedom Fighters having only brought two members along with him. Unfortunatly jet caught Iroh fire bending his tea and became obsessed to the point of attacking Zuko while he was at work in the tea shop his uncle found. He was then arrested by the Dai Li agents who protect ba Sing Se.
