Ambush on Ember Island

Crash!

The entire summer house of the fire lord shook like an earthquake. Toph sat up in her bed, opening her eyes. "We'll under attack," she shouted.

Aang and Korra's teams ran out into the courtyard. Each of them took up a fighting stance as they saw mecha tanks fall out of the night sky and landed in the back of the courtyard. Chi blockers and firebenders also landed on the roofs of the house and grounds.

"It's the Warring Fire," Korra said.

"They must have followed the story to find us here," Jinora responded. The group had already informed Aang and his friends about how everyone in the present knew of how they ended the hundred year war and it was just a matter of finding what point of time they were at to find out where the gang was.

Chi blockers tossed electrical cords at the group. Everyone but Toph dodged the attacks and charged forward to attack. Toph bent the ground a few feet in front of her to form a sharp pillar that caught the cord that was coming for her. She then launched it forward into one of the soldiers.

Toph then took a strong stance to root herself to the ground. She swiftly bent pillars and rocks out of the ground and blasted them at her enemy or sent them flying into the air with a simple kick of her heel.

Aang and Jinora charged toward a mecha tank. Mecha tank claws flew out toward the two team Avatars. Aang ducked under the claw. He then spun his staff around and launched a wind slice that knocked the tank in front of him back into the wall. Jinora followed up with a powerful wind blast that knocked over the tank, crumbling the wall.

Firebenders stepped forward and punched blast of fire out at the group. Zuko moved ahead of his friends and broke the flames apart with a solid sweep of his hands. Katara moved behind him and shoot a stream of water from her pouch.

Korra slammed her feet on the ground and raise the ground below the rest of the group that fired at them, knocking them over. Bolin hit a few more Warring Fire members by chucking chunks of rocks at them like earth disk.

Toph followed up the others attack by shooting the wall on the right into a group of firebenders that were coming at them. Fire then rained down toward the group that quickly ducked and avoided so they wouldn't get hit.

Aang looked back to the roof of the house to see more firebenders and chi blockers sliding down off cords to airships, landing on the roof. The airbender shoot rocks up to counter the fire attacks and knocked a few benders down.

Cords fly around Katara and Zuko's arms pulling them in either direction so they couldn't bend. The two struggled to break free as four chi blockers stood on either side of them. "Let us go," Katara demanded. More blockers landed in front of them, ready to strike them down with a few jabs.

A boomerang sliced through the air, knocking down two of the chi blockers that were holding Katara and Zuko, freeing up one of their arms. They quickly turned on the other chi blockers that held them releasing fire and water fury. Sokka caught his boomerang while he stood on one knee with a smug look on his face.

"Sokka, watch out!" Suki warned. Sokka then saw two firebenders running toward him. He let out a girlish scream. Suki leaped over Sokka and took both out by slamming her feet into their chest. They flew back across the ground.

A smoke bomb landed on the ground, exploding. A thick mist surrounded the two non benders before slowly disappearing. Sokka and Suki looked around them and their own bodes to see that they were wet. "Why would firebenders use a bomb made out of water?" Suki questioned.

"For this," a chilling voice grabbed their attention. They turned around to see Asami land before them from the roof with her glove at the ready. Before the other two could react she slammed the glove down on the puddle of water, shocking both of them.

Korra tackled the two out of the attack just before they could pass out. Asami was then launched by Toph into a wall. Katara turned around to see her brother and Suki on the ground. "Sokka." A fire blast shot behind her without her noticing.

Zuko blocked the blast then looked back at Katara. "Pay attention, or you're going to get hurt."

Katara looked back at the fire prince. "But Sokka and Suki are hurt."

Bolin lifted up an earth wall between them and the enemy. He then gazed back at the water tribe girl. "Go ahead and help them out. We'll hold them off." He then began punching the wall, shooting off chucks of rock at the firebenders that were blasting fire at the wall.

Katara ran toward the injured party that Korra was already healing them. Scattered around her enemies and friends alike were fighting in destructive battles that lighting up the sky with fire, earth, and weapons. The ground was lifted and thrown by their earthbenders. Katara slid in beside her brother and placed her hands over him, using her healing waterbending.

Mako and several other firebenders landed on the walls in front of the group. Mako caught sight of the group while the others were battling the mecha tanks and soldiers. The firebenders moved their fingers around to create lightning.

Bolin pointed at the line of firebenders. "Mako! Lightning Attacks!" Toph immediately reacted by bending a dome of earth around the entire group and lowered the floor below them. The lightning blast shot at the dome, shooting holes through it.

"You can't escape us," a firebender stated. They then began releasing fire blast on the dome.

Inside the dome, Bolin sat against the wall near him as Korra and Katara finished healing Sokka and Suki. The two became conscious again and sat up. Crashes could be heard just outside the dome as pebbles broke off the ceiling onto the ground.

"What happened?" Sokka said as he placed his hand on his head.

"You got knocked out," Katara informed him. "But I thought only people in Zuko's family knew how to bend lightning."

"It's a lot more popular in the future," Jinora said.

"Oh, just great any more popular bending arts in the future?" Sokka questioned.

"Metalbending," Bolin chimed in.

Toph faced in Bolin's direction. "Hey, before those guys attack you said someone's name. Mako."

"Yeah." The pro-earthbender shrugged his shoulders. "He's my brother."

"Wait, why is your brother trying to kill us?" Zuko questioned.

Korra looked over at Zuko. "His memories were altered when we came back to the past. Now he believes in the cause of the Warring Fire."

"Is that why he's a firebender?" Katara questioned.

"No, he's always been a firebender," Bolin answered. A lightning blast cut through the rock beside Bolin. The boy lifted his arm away from the area frighten. He let out a small yelp.

"What!?" Toph shouted.

"There from a multicultural family," Jinora said. "Our friend Asami is also on their side."

"Who's Asami?" Sokka asked.

"The girl that knocked you two out," Korra answered.

"But they're really nice," Bolin assured them. "You know when they're not acting like crazy Warring Fire members.

More rocks crumbled around them. Aang putted his hands on his head. "What are we going to do? We can't even get to Appa with all those soldiers out there." Several more cracks appeared in the structure along with a mecha tank claw that hit down in the middle of the group.

"I don't think there is a way out of this," Sokka said.

"That's not true," Korra said. "Our teams never won because we had the greatest numbers. We've won because we've had the best fighters and we still have that, including two Avatars." She wrapped her arm around Aang.

The others looked at her for a moment and nodded their heads and agreed. Aang looked up at the older Avatar. "So what's your plan?"

"Plan?" Korra repeated. The water tribe girl rolled her eyes up for a second to think. "I know." She focused back on the group. "Toph, you can sense all the enemies out there, right?"

Toph folded her arms across her chest and nodded. "Of course."

"Great, then using your earthbending you'll take down the ground soldiers where ever they show up along with Bolin and his light footed earthbending," Korra started. "Meanwhile Zuko and Katara will take out the mecha tanks."

"Shouldn't Toph take out the tanks?" Katara said. "She is a metalbender."

"Mecha tanks are too pure to be bent even by someone like Toph," Korra explained. "But they can be broken down by bending water into their pipes and lightning strikes."

"But I can't shoot lightning," Zuko responded.

"But you can redirect it." Korra got a smirk on her face and Zuko nodded, understanding. She then focused on Aang and Jinora. "Aang and Jinora can use their airbending to attack the enemy as they leave their aircrafts so they can't launch surprise attacks on us."

"Um, what us and you?" Suki questioned. She pointed to herself and Sokka.

Korra slid her eyes to the two non benders of the group. "Do you think you can get your hands on those gloves they used on you? If you can use them against them."

"Got ya," Suki said with smile.

Korra then focused on the entire group. "I'll provide back up for anyone who needs it, but first we'll need a distraction to throw them off balance. Toph, do you think you can do that?"

Toph stood up straight. "I'm all over it." She slid her feet into a solid stance and moved her hands slowly up. She instantly bent the earth dome around them to shoot out in every direction to knock back several Warring Fire members while also raising the ground the team stood on back to its original level.
