Chapter 9 The Battle of Ba Sing Se

A/N: Sorry for the super long wait I have had lots of trouble and stuff, but now got a laptop to write on. More on the way! Here it is!

"I hope I arrived in time," General Iroh commented. "It's hard trying to find two avatars at once."

There were several exchanges of laughter between the group.

"We are so glad you made it Iroh," Tenzin said. "We have a big situation on our hands."

"I know," General Iroh replied. "I brought 20 men with me as well they are making camp in the back."

"We need to get out of the city while we still can," Lin said.

"We won't be able to leave or stay without a fight," Korra commented.

"Agreed," Toph said. "I'll show them a fight they have never seen!"

"We need to get the airbenders first though," Aang commented. "We can't leave without them."

"Where could the queen be hiding them though?" Zuko asked.

"We could try Lake Laugi," Katara suggested.

"It's worth a try," Tenzin said.

Later at Lake Laugi

"Ok we all stick together and be careful for ambushes," Aang told the group.

The gang and Iroh's men all entered the secret base. They were careful while entering this prison.

"They are definitely here," Korra said. "I can sense it."

"Me too," Aang commented.

The gang finally made it to the lower level and found the prison room where they were keeping the airbenders.

"Oh thank god you are all alright," Tenzin said.

"You made a big mistake," one of the airbenders said. "It's a trap!"

Just then a giant group of Dai Li Agents entered the arena room where the prisoners were being kept.

"Well look who it is," the earth queen said as she came out of the shadows. "If it isn't Lord Zuko and Avatar Aang."

"What do you want from us!" Katara yelled.

"Want?" the earth queen said. "Nothing. Destroy them!"

The battle had begun. The Dai Li attacked as ordered bending rocks and pebbles at the group.

"Watch how a real king bends!" Bumi yelled as he bent a giant boulder taking out three Dai Li Agents.

He airbenders joined in it helped outmatching the Dai Li agents and forcing them into a retreat.

"Is that all you got!" Bolin yelled as he kept bending rocks at the retreating soldiers.

"Let's get out of here before reinforcements show up," Aang said as they all made their way to the bison.

The group and all the airbenders made it to the bison and escaped before more reinforcements showed up.

"Go land on my ship," General Iroh said. "We can all travel on it."

"Where should we go next?" Zuko asked.

"We need to make our way down towards the southern portal so we can close the last portal before Vaatu can make it out," Aang said. "We need more forces though we can't do it alone."

"I have the perfect place in mind," General Iroh said. "They will help no doubt."

"Then let's go!" Toph said.

"Helmsman set a course for Zafou!" General Iroh commanded.

"Oh no," Lin mumbled.

Somewhere in the earth kingdom

"There are reports that the airbenders in Ba Sing Se have escaped," a man spoke to the leader.

"Perfect, everything is going according to plan," the women responded. "Set a course to Zafou. I'm going home to meet the avatar."

"As you wish, Kuvira."
