Saru's P.O.V.

"So anyways, that's what happened."

"You fought off how many guys?" asked Sokka.

"Only seven, but one ran off without a fight."

"And that cloaked guy blew a hole in the wall?" asked Zuko, sounding impressed.

"Ya, but it wasn't a very big hole," I replied testily.

"But he shot energy at the wall, and it blew a hole in it. That's pretty impressive, and I can metal bender," said Toph.

"The question is, what are we going to do now?" asked Katara.

"We'll wait for this guy to show up with his army and defeat him," I replied confidently.

"Are you kidding? How could any of us stand up against that guy?" asked Sokka. He's always so skeptical.

"I can take him," I replied.

"You just think you're so tough because you beat up seven guys at once. The guys you beat aren't even in the same league as their leader. I think I should be the one to face him," stated Toph.

"We should all face him. He can't beat all of us at once," interjected Suki.

"I agree," said Katara.

"Then we'll just have to wait," I finished before we all walked back into the palace.

And wait we did. It was a long and boring two days. I spent those days eating, resting, and ensuring that I was ready for the fight that was coming. I'm not sure what the others were doing because I was off training near a lake a few miles away from the capital. It was a nice secluded place.

The third day after my meeting with the cloaked guy a messenger told us Zuko that an army was massing in the earth kingdom, and they had sent a note challenging the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation to a fight.

"Tell the generals that we are having an emergency meeting," he said to the messenger. We all got and followed him.

The war room had a huge map of the four nations in the center of the room. There were cushions to sit on, but Zuko sat on a small throne thingy on a raised platform. The room was supported by several pillars.

I won't bore you with what exactly was said during the meeting. Basically the generals and Zuko decided to get as much of their army as possible to the Earth Kingdom to help. The only problem was that some of the enemy army was made up of Fire Nation troops.

The Earth Kingdom representative said that they were massing their army near the coast so that they would be ready for the Fire Nation to arrive. He also told us that some of the enemy army was made up of their troops too.

Hakoda said that only his troops were ready to fight, and he didn't have very many. The Northern Water Tribe would be unable to send troops in time, and the Southern Tribe already had all their available troops in the Fire Nation.

It would take two days to sail to the Earth Kingdom, but it would take three days to assemble the Fire Nation troops. The meeting took forever to decide these few points. I almost fell asleep.

They also decided that the battle would take place on the seventh day, which would give them a day to rest the troops after the trip and give them a day to assess the situation and coordinate with the Earth Kingdom generals.

Anyways, I decided to go and train for a few days. I didn't want to waste five days. I told the gang my decision, and they accepted it. I told them I would meet them the morning of the seventh day. With that, I flew off to train.

Katara's P.O.V

The five days to get to the Earth Kingdom was pretty boring. There wasn't much to do while waiting for the endless number of troops to get loaded on the endless number of transports. The two days of the sea journey were filled with horrible boredom and Toph throwing up. Sokka just kept trying to find people to play Pi Shoa with. Suki and I tried to pass the time talking, but we didn't have enough to talk about to fill two days. Zuko was doing something Fire Lordy all day.

We were relieved when we arrived at the coast the night of the fourth day, but we had to spend the night on the ship. We had to spend the morning on the boat too. We didn't get off until the afternoon. The camp on the coast was disorganized, and everyone was tired. All the ships were unloaded by that night, and we all were glad to get some sleep.

We had a meeting with the Earth Kingdom generals that afternoon. Toph didn't go because she was recovering from her seasickness. The rest of us attended the meeting. It was difficult to follow because of the exhaustion we all felt and the heat of the day. It was unpleasantly warm and it made us drowsy.

The generals discussed the strategy that would be used the next day. We weren't sure exactly what they were saying. The Fire Nation would take the center and part of the right. The Water Tribe would take the far right, and the Earth Kingdom would take the left.

The enemy's main general was thought to be a man named Taishou. He was well known for attacking strongly on the right and after that hitting their enemy hard on the left. After that he would attack the center in a pincer movement. It was decided that the gang would fight with the water tribe on the right. The generals hoped that the enemy would be thrown off if his first attack wouldn't work.

That was all that was discussed during the meeting, and it took till midafternoon. It was late and we were tired, so we went to sleep early.

We woke up the next morning and got ready for the upcoming battle. After breakfast, there wasn't much to do. Sokka was polishing his sword, and the rest of us were just sitting around. I was nervous, so I was playing with some water, just making different shapes. Toph was doing the same thing.

After a while I just happened to look up and saw someone walking towards us. He was wearing all orange. That was when I figured out that it was Saru. He didn't look any different than he had the last time we had seen him.

"Look who it is," said Suki. Everyone looked up and got up to greet him.

"Hey guys," said Saru.

"What have you been up to?" asked Sokka.

"Training," replied Saru shrugging.

"That's it? I thought you would have done more for the past six days," said Toph.

"I have to be ready," Saru said confidently. "So what's the plan?"

It didn't take long to explain to Saru what the battle plan was. By the time we were finished, it was time to line up for the battle. We were on the far right with the other water tribe members. We were all ready to go, and moved off towards the field.

The battle would take place in a field with all of us lined up with a hill to our rear. The generals had decided that we would put archers on top of it for a better field of fire. The enemy would be coming out of some woods to face us that were on the other side of the field.

Around when we were finished lining up the enemy began to arrive and set up opposite us. There seemed to be a lot of them too, but we seemed evenly matched. We had almost an even amount of troops on the field.

We stood opposite each other for a few minutes just staring at one another. Then, with a loud yell, we charged!

What do you think? I know, not my best chapter, but i needed to describe what happened before the big battle. The next chapter should be better! Please review guys, it makes me want to write more. I would appreciate anything you guys have to say, as long as your review isn't a long list of flames. Thanks for reading!
