A/N I don't own avatar

Aang looked down at the Fire Nation. He heard the alarm bell ring as they lowered their altitude. Men ran out to the beach and prepared to attack, but Aang made the first move. Taking his staff he jumped to the land below. Striking his staff into the ground he sent a shockwave of rock, air, and fire, killing most of the enemies. Zuko stayed on Appa and did damage from the sky. He sent lightning and fire on the battlements and canon platoons. Together they headed for the palace. Appa stayed in the air and circled above. Zuko helped clear a path to the throne room so Aang could reserve his energy in case there was a fight. Aang went in alone while Zuko stayed outside to stop the guards.

The emperor stood facing Aang with his hands behind his back. Aang noticed the same cold look in the man's eyes and the same gash scar that went down his face. Shing was the same pirate who they had met at the palace when they were betrayed by the fire sages. Aang pointed his staff at him "It's over, Shing. No where to go, no where to hide. You have no chance of beating me."

"On the contrary, avatar," he said with the same cold, menacing voice "I think that I can still easily win." He thrusted his hand forward as a beam of energy soared at Aang, who quickly dodged. Shing had the green talisman, the one that gave the user the ability to gather energy and shoot it out in a devastating beam. Aang knew now that Shing had a fighting chance. More energy blasts came his way, he dodged each one. He had to think of a plan to defeat the emperor and quick.


Sokka, Haru, and Katara landed on the beach. They were greeted with gun shots and canon fire. They wasted no time and charged forward. Katara looked ahead and saw a large group of pirates racing to them brandying their swords. She quickly took her water and shot it out as icicle spears, killing some of the men. Katara created more water shields to protect herself from the gunshots from the walls. The Dai Li took care of that in seconds, but even they were hit with the volley of bullets. Sokka took on several men at once with impressive skills. Suki also took out men in a matter of seconds. Mai and Ty Lee caused more damage with their own arsenal of attacks. Men fell down as Ty Lee effortlessly struck them while Mai sent barrages of knives and arrows, either killing or trapping her opponents. Katara looked at the palace and almost felt a call, like Aang needed help. She had to answer. Running at top speeds she took out more pirates and sprinted to the palace.
