I don't own Atla
Waterbending bomb! Yeah said Katara.
Sure, 5000-year-old maps from the spirit library, just splash some water on 'em said Sokka.
Sorry said Katara,
So, did you figure out what route we're gonna take? Asks Raiden.
Okay. We just got out of the desert, so we must be around here, and we need to go to Ba Sing Se, which is here. It looks like the only passage connecting the South to the North is this sliver of land called the Serpent's Pass said Sokka.
You're sure that's the best way to go? Asks Toph.
Yeah it sounds creepy and dangerous said Raiden
It's the only way, I mean it's not like we have Appa to fly us there said Sokka.
Shut up about Appa said Raiden.
Can't you at least try to be sensitive? Asks Katara.
Katara, Raiden it's ok. I know I was upset about losing Appa before, but I just want to focus on getting to Ba Sing Se, and telling the Earth King about the solar eclipse said Aang.
You sure? Asks Raiden
Oh, well, ok. I'm glad you're doing better.
Then to Ba Sing Se we go, no more distractions said Sokka.
Than: Hello there fellow refugees!
So, are you guys headed to Ba Sing Se too? Asks Aang.
Than: Sure are, we're trying to get there before my wife Ying has her baby. \
Great, we can travel through the Serpent's Pass together said Katara.
Ying: Only the truly desperate take that deadly route.
Deadly route. Great pick, Sokka said Raiden.
Well, we are desperate said Sokka.
Than: You should come with us to Full Moon Bay. Ferries take refugees across the lake. It's the fastest way to Ba Sing Se.
Ying: And it's hidden, so the Fire Nation can't find it.
Hmmm, peaceful ferry ride...or deadly pass? Said Katara.
I can't believe how many people's lives have been uprooted by the Fire Nation Said Raiden.
Than: We're all looking for a better life. Safe, behind the walls of Ba Sing Se.
Scene changes to Zuko and Iroh.
Who would have thought, after all these years, I'd return to the scene of my greatest military disgrace...as a tourist said Iroh.
Look around, we're not tourists, we're refugees.
Ugh! I'm sick of eating rotten food, sleeping in the dirt... I'm tired of living like this said Zuko.
Zuko leans on the rail despondently.
Aren't we all? My name's Jet and these are my freedom fighters, Smellerbee, and Longshot said Jet.
Hey said Smellerbee.
Hello said Zuko.
Here's the deal. I hear the Captain's eating like a king, while us refugees have to feed off his scraps. Doesn't seem fair, does it? Said Jet.
What sort of king is he eating like? Asks Iroh.
The fat, happy kind. You want to help us liberate some food? Said Jet.
I'm in said Zuko.
Scene changes to the Gang.
Bureaucrat: I've told you already, no vegetables on the ferry! One cabbage slug could destroy the entire ecosystem of Ba Sing Se. Security!
Cabbage Merchant: Dah! My Cabbages!
Bureaucrat: Next!
Um, five tickets for the ferry to Ba Sing Se, please said Aang.
Bureaucrat: Passport.
Uh, no one told us we had to have passports said Raiden.
Don't you know who this is? He's the Avatar said Sokka.
Bureaucrat: Ah, I see fifty Avatars a day, and by the way, not a very impressive costume.
Bureaucrat: Besides, no animals allowed. Do I need to call security?
That won't be necessary said Aang.
Bureaucrat: Next!
I'll take care of this. My name is Toph Bei Fong, and I'll need 5 tickets said Toph.
Bureaucrat: Oh! The Golden Seal of the Flying Boar, it is my pleasure to help anyone of the Bei Fong family.
It is your pleasure. As you can see I am blind, and these three imbeciles are my valets and this guy is my bodyguard said Toph.
Bureaucrat: But the anima.
Is my Seeing-Eye Lemur said Toph.
Bureaucrat: Well, normally it's only 1 ticket per passport, but, this document is so official, I guess it's worth 5 tickets.
She rapidly stamps five papers.
Thank you very much said Toph.
Alright, we scammed that lady good said Sokka.
Tickets and passports please said, Suki.
Is there a problem? Asks Sokka.
Yeah, I've got a problem with you said Suki.
I've seen your type before, probably sarcastic, think your hilarious, and let me guess, you're traveling with the Avatar said, Suki.
Do I know you? Asks Sokka.
You mean you don't remember? Maybe you remember this said, Suki.
Suki said Sokka.
Sokka, it's good to see you said, Suki.
They introduced Suki to Raiden and Toph and explained about Raiden being the fire lord's son and he was on their side.
You look so different without your makeup, and the new outfit said Katara.
That crabby lady makes all the security guards wear them. And look at you sleeveless guy. Been working out? Said Suki.
I'll grab a tree branch and do a few chin touches every now and then, nothing major said Sokka.
Are the other Kyoshi warriors around? Asks Aang.
Yeah, after you left Kyoshi, we wanted to find a way to help people. We ended up escorting some refugees, and we've been here ever Momo, good to see you too. So why are you guys getting tickets for the ferry? Wouldn't you just fly across on Appa? Said Suki.
Appa is missing. We hope to find him in Ba Sing Se said Raiden.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you doing okay? Said Suki.
I'm doing fine. Would everybody stop worrying about me said Aang.
Ying: Avatar Aang, you have to help us! Someone took all of our belongings. Our passports, our tickets. Everything's gone!
I'll talk to the lady for you said Aang.
Bureaucrat: No passports, no tickets
But she's pregnant, and all of their stuff was stolen. You have to make an exception said Aang.
Bureaucrat: No exceptions! If I just gave away tickets willy nilly to anyone, there would be no more order, and you know what that means. No more civilization!
What if we gave them our tickets? Asks Raiden.
Bureaucrat: No!
But said Aang.
Bureaucrat: NEXT!
Don't worry, you'll get to the city safely. I'll lead you through the serpent's pass said Aang.
Scene changes
I can't believe we gave up our tickets, and now we're going through the Serpent's Pass said Sokka.
I can't believe you're still complaining about it said Toph.
I'm coming too said, Suki.
Are you sure that's a good idea? Asks Sokka.
Sokka, I thought you'd want me to come? Said Suki.
I do, it's just said Sokka.
Just what? Asks Suki.
Nothing. I'm glad you're coming said Sokka.
This is the Serpent's Pass I thought it would be more windy, you know, like a serpent. Hmm, I guess they misnamed it said Sokka.
Ying: Look at this writing, how awful.
What does it say? Asks Toph.
It says, Abandon hope said Raiden.
Ying: How could we abandon hope? It's all we have.
I don't know. The monks used to say that hope is just a distraction. So maybe we do need to abandon it said Aang.
What are you talking about? Asks Katara.
Hope isn't going to get us into Ba Sing Se, and it's not gonna find Appa. We need to focus on what we're doing right now, and that's getting across this pass said Aang.
Ok, if you say so said Katara,
The fire nation controls the western lake. Rumor has it they're working on something big on the other side, and they don't want anyone to find out what it said, Suki.
Than: I'm okay.
They've spotted us said Raiden.
Raiden firebends at them.
Suki, are you ok You have to be more careful! C'mon said Sokka.
Thanks for saving my life Toph. Hey, no problem Sokka said Toph.
Suki, you shouldn't sleep there. Who knows how stable this ledge is? It could give way at any moment said Sokka.
Sokka, I'm fine. Stop worrying said, Suki.
You're right, you're right. You're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself...Wait! Oh, never mind. I thought I saw a spider, but you're fine said Sokka.
Scene change.
The ferry cruising beneath a moonlit sky, then to the upper deck.
As a guard passes by with a lantern, Zuko stealthily leads Jet and Smellerbee upstairs and around the corner.
They pause to look in the kitchen window, then slip around back.
Jet forces the lock while Smellerbee keeps watch, then the Zuko and Jet burst into the kitchen.
Jet sweeps several hanging bird carcasses into a sack. The prince uses his swords to nimbly stack eight bowls of food together, securing the stack with a ribbon.
Both shoulder their sacks and turn to the doorway.
Guards coming said Smellerbee
The three of them rush to the balcony edge, while below, Longshot fires a line-strung arrow into the railing. Both bundles slide down the line, followed by the three sneak-thieves.
The arrow is pulled free just as another lantern-bearing guard walks past.
Panning down two levels to the main deck we see the three steal away safely.
Scene change
You know, it's o.k. to miss Appa. What's going on with you? In the desert, all you cared about was finding Appa, and now it's like you don't care about him at all said Raiden.
You saw what I did out there. I was so angry about losing Appa, I couldn't control myself. I hated feeling like that said Aang.
But now you're not letting yourself feel anything. I know sometimes it hurts more to hope, and it hurts more to care. But you have to promise me that you won't stop caring. C'mon, you need a hug said Katara.
Thank you for your concern Katara, Raiden said Aang.
It's a beautiful moon said, Suki.
Yeah, it really is said Sokka.
Look, I know you're just trying to help, but I can take care of myself said, Suki.
I know you can said Sokka.
Then why are you acting so overprotective? Asks Suki.
It's so hard to lose someone you care about. Something happened at the North Pole, and I couldn't protect someone. I don't want anything like that to ever happen again said Sokka.
I lost someone I cared about. He didn't die, he just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart and brave, and funny said, Suki.
Who is this guy? Is he taller than me? Asks Sokka.
No, he's about your height said, Suki.
Is he better looking? Asks Sokka.
It is you stupid said, Suki.
Oh said Sokka.
I can't said Sokka.
I'm... sorry said Sokka.
No, you shouldn't be said, Suki.
Scene change
So, Smellerbee, that's an unusual name for a young man said Iroh.
Maybe it's because I'm not a man. I'm a girl said Smellerbee.
Oh, now I see! It's a beautiful name for a lovely girl said Iroh.
I know. You're right. As long as I'm confident with who I am, it doesn't matter what other people think. Thanks, Longshot said Smellerbee.
From what I heard, people eat like this every night in Ba Sing Se. I can't wait to set my eyes on that giant wall said Jet.
It is a magnificent sight said Iroh.
So you've been there before? Asks Jet.
Once, when I was a different man said Iroh.
I've done some things in my past that I'm not proud of. But that's why I'm going to Ba Sing Se, for a new beginning. A second chance said Jet,
That's very noble of you. I believe people can change their lives if they want to. I believe in second chances said Iroh.
Scene change.
Everyone single file said Katara,
Bending aside the water in her path, Katara descends down below the water level, lifting up walls of water to either side. As everyone falls in behind her, a capsule of air forms around them.
Aang I need help said katara.
What is that thing? Asks Katara.
I think I just figured out why they call it the Serpent's Pass said Raiden.
Suki, you know about giant sea monsters. Make it go away said Sokka.
Just because I live near the Unagi doesn't mean I'm an expert said, Suki.
Oh great and powerful sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering. Thank you said Sokka.
Sokka said Katara.
I'll distract him. Katara, Raiden get everyone across said Aang.
Aang opens his flyer and swoops off as the serpent recovers and snakes after him.
Katara begins casting a path made of ice across the lake surface, running forward to connect it to the far shore.
Urging the others past her, Katara watches Aang elude the serpent in the distance.
She hops onto the water, forms a pontoon of ice around her feet, and propels herself toward the fight.
Katara wait said Raiden.
When Aang races past her, the enraged Serpent close behind, she begins to freeze ice around the passing monster's midsection.
With a twist of its body, the Serpent bursts free, turning back to chase Katara the opposite direction.
Toph, come on. It's just ice said Raiden.
Actually, I'm gonna stay on my little island where I can see said Toph.
Ok, I'm coming said Toph.
You're doing great! Just follow the sound of my voice said Sokka.
It's hard to ignore said Toph.
Toph hurry I can't hold the bridge for too much longer said Raiden.
You're almost there said Sokka.
Help! I can't swim said Toph.
I'm coming Toph said Raiden.
The goes into a bending stance but Suki dives in.
Oh Raiden, you saved me said Toph.
Actually, it's me said, Suki.
Oh...well...heheh. You can go ahead and let me drown now said Toph.
Aang, Raiden, and Katara are shown circling the Serpent at tremendous speed, stirring up an irresistible whirlpool that holds it helpless.
The spinning monster's neck cracks like a whip against the cliff-side, and it slinks off into the depths. Walking up a rise, the others cheer as Aang flies by with Katara.
There's the wall! Now it's nothing but smooth sailing to Ba Sing Se said Sokka.
Ying: Oh no!
What's wrong? Asks Sokka.
Ying: The baby's coming!
What! Now! Can't you hold it in or something? Said Sokka.
Sokka, Calm down. I helped Gran-Gran deliver lots of babies back home said Katara.
This isn't the same as delivering an arctic seal! This is a real... human... Thing said Sokka.
It's called a baby, and I helped to deliver plenty of those too. Aang, get some rags. Sokka, water. Toph, I need you to make an earth tent. A big one, Raiden heat the water said Katara.
Scene change.
You know, as soon as I saw your scar, I knew exactly who you were. You're an outcast, like me. And us outcasts have to stick together. We have to watch each other's backs because no one else will said Jet.
I've realized lately, that being on your own isn't always the best path said Zuko.
scene change
You're doing great Ying. Sokka! Where's that water? Get ready to push. One, two, three...PUSH said Katara,
It's a girl said Sokka.
So, you want to go see the baby? Asks Toph.
Or are you going to faint like an old lady again? Asks Raiden.
No no, I'm good this time said Sokka.
Aang, you have to come see this said Katara.
She sounds healthy said Toph.
She's beautiful said Katara.
It's so...squishy looking said Sokka.
Than: What should we name her?
Ying: I want our daughter's name to be unique. I want it to mean something.
I've been going through a really hard time lately. But you've made me... hopeful again said Aang.
Ying: I know what I want to name our baby now. Hope.
Than: That's a perfect name. Hope.
Scene change.
I thought I was trying to be strong, but really I was just running away from my feelings. Seeing this family together, so full of happiness and love, it reminded me of how I feel about Appa...and how I feel about you said Aang.
I promise I'll find Appa as fast as I can. I just really need to do Aang.
Good luck said Raiden.
See ya in the big city said Sokka.
Say hi to that big fuzzball for me said Toph.
You'll find him Aang said Katara,
I know. Thank you Katara said Aang.
You ready Momo? Asks Aang.
They take off.
Sokka, It's been really great to see you again said, Suki.
Whoa, hold on. Why does it sound like you're saying goodbye? Asks Sokka.
I came along because I wanted to make sure you got through the Serpent's Pass safely. But now I need to get back to the other Kyoshi warriors said, Suki.
So you came along to protect me? Asks Sokka.
Listen, I'm really sorry about last night. We were talking, and saying things, I just got carried away and before I knew it I said, Suki.
You talk too much said Sokka.
Both begin kissing passionately. Suki slips her arms around Sokka's neck
scene change
Aang and Momo swooping over an open desert towards the outer wall, nearly disappearing into the distance.
Finally reaching the wall's summit, they perform a backward loop and glide in for a landing. Aang, with Momo riding on his shoulder, looks serenely out over the wall.
Turning to look back, the Avatar's expression changes to shock and dismay.
Vehicles are kicking up a huge dust cloud. Various shots show us two groups of Fire nation tanks, dwarfed by the monolithic drilling machine they flank.
Sorry Momo, Appa's gonna have to wait said Aang/
