The Sun Senshi had been in custody for a year. A year of torture, questioning, and being shackled for days on end.
But with the commotion the Avatar made during his escape...
That night, when the Blue Spirit slipped into the compound, the black-masked man made his move to escape.
The other three guardians heard the commotion from their cells.
"The Black Mask is causing a problem in the mess hall!"
They heard the guards stampede passed their cells, and acted at that moment.
The purple masked girl began wriggling around, and with her incredible acrobatic skills, she had turn herself in such a way that she could burn the chains on her one arm. From their, she ignited her palm, freeing her other arm from the shackles and carefully working to release her feet.
Making constant glanced towards the cell door, she silently slipped down from the wall. She quietly jingled with the shackles still attached to her wrist, as she made her way quickly to Blue Mask's cell. She squeezed through the bars between her cell and Red Mask, nodding confidently at her leader as she slid through the next set of bars.
Purple Mask leapt into the air and broke the chains attaching Blue Mask to the heavy weights with the back of her heel when she landed. Her other palm, engulfed in flames, quickly seared through the other chain, and Blue Mask triumphantly raised his hands to his shoulder.
In a flash, he had freed himself from the shackles on his legs. Using his hands as balance, he twirled in his signature fire spin, causing the shackles to disintegrate. Just as quickly as he had freed himself, Blue Mask flew out the cell door-which had been forced open by Purple Mask.
"Good luck." She breathed to him as he blew by. She slipped back into Red Mask's cell, and gazed upon her leader quietly.
"Líming..."
"Just get me down." She said, barely above a whisper.
Purple Mask inhaled deeply, before launching four fireballs to the chains. As they reached mere centimetres from Líming's fingers and toes, the appendages caught fire. She had gained control, bursting from the chains with a satisfied grunt.
She rose from the ground slowly, rolling her head from one shoulder to the other as the flames continued to burn. When she stood up fully, her shoulders, previously arched aggressively, relaxed into a confident defensive position. The two girls exchanged glances, and darted into the hallway.
After breezing silently through a few halls, the girls turned a corner to come face to face with a group of guards facing their way. Between them and the guards, a figure dressed in dark grey was holding a young, arrow headed boy at sword-edge. The guards stared wide-eyed at the two girls.
They both blinked, catching the glance of the Avatar and the figure with the blue mask.
Instantly, with comically wide eyes, they darted in a new direction. The commotion followed after them.
"The Sun Senshi and the Avatar have escaped!"
"Don't let them get away!"
"Haaah, cover blown..." Purple Mask hissed under her breath, turning another corner with her leader. Red Mask stopped just before the large window at the end of hall. She peered out, hanging half her body out the window. She could see the top of the stronghold turret just a few stories above.
Red Mask leapt up onto the sill, and darted up the perimeter of the stone exterior. Hot on her tail, Purple Mask followed in pursuit. Leaping up, the two landed on top of the turret, coming face to face with four guards. They aimed towards the girls, launching fireballs at them. Purple Mask slipped between two guards on the right, just before they launched their ammo. She extended her arms, jabbing the two right in the shoulder blades and using the leverage to effortlessly fling the two off the tower.
Red Mask leapt into the air, as the fireballs collided into the ground she once stood on. They glanced up with wide eyes, as the bender launched two streams of fire towards them before sweeping them off their feet with swift kick.
They ran the length of the wall, batting away guards one by one as they approached the final gate. As they pushed on, two elite guards stood in their path. While Purple Mask struggled with one guard, Red Mask opened fire on the same guard, firing in a graceful dragon's dance. However, the second guard grasped Red Mask from midair, pinning her to the ground. She squirmed, hissing as she attempted to twirl around in his grasp.
The guard was effectively thrown from the wall in a swift movement, as the Blue Masked male emerged from the shadows.
The two male reunited with them, and the four pressed on towards their freedom.
