When everyone arrived at the meeting place with Isano and the troops, they were very surprised. "I can't believe how many people are against Yan Cho!" Mirai really couldn't believe this, and she wondered is when she'll be on the EarthKingdom's throne will make mistakes that could lead to something like this.

Isano was coming to them. "And there are more, I placed some people near the capital so if Yan Cho will see us they can take care of few of his soldiers."

"Always thinking about everything sis." Chan was really proud of his little sister, but of course he would never say that out loud. It wasn't because he was too proud, it was because he didn't wanted her to stop trying because he was complimenting her, but this time was different he had to say it. "I'm proud of you." She just smiled.

"Yumi I need your help, would you like to be my lieutenant in this mission. You're an amazing fighter and I would really appreciate if you would accept my offer." Yumi couldn't refuse this opportunity especially when this thing was so personal.

"It would me my pleasure." Isano made a sign to follow her.

"Right now I need a little bit of help with our munitions and weapons. We have 60 strong bombs and I need you to make packs of three bombs with those ropes. We need to make sure nothing stands in our way." She was about to leave but she added one more thing. "When you're done there walk around and make sure everybody is prepared for this."

"Aye aye captain!" After Isano left she started making those packs. She was standing on the ground feeling the grass on her legs and the sun on her skin, but then a shadow appeared.

"Would you like some help with that... lieutenant?" It was a tall man, about thirty years old, with short black hair and grey eyes.

She smiled. "Sure! Why not?"

Fire Nation Palce

Keyra was laying in bed with her eyes closed, Yan Cho was awake and he started kissing his lover's neck going down to her shoulder and her arm. She slowly opened her eyes. "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I was already awake." After he heard those words, Yan Cho started kissing her again. "And I hope you realize that I'm not leaving this bed today."

He went on top of her and deeply kissed her. "And I won't leave you one single second today." He kissed her again, without being aware of the fact that his palace was about to be attacked.

Back to the troops

"So what did Yan Cho do to you? You look like you're ready to kill him with no mercy." Yumi couldn't do anything but smile, for the first time in the past few months someone could make her smile.

She looked deep into his grey eyes and she felt like she can open herself to him like she did it just to Mia. "Well… the business is pretty personal; he did horrible things to my best friends and my little sister. And now I'm worried for my other sister who is still in the capital. By the way, my name's Yumi."

He putted a hand on her shoulder and looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry that this happened. And my name's Ryu."

"Nice to meet you." She still couldn't look away from his eyes, she saw something, something special… "And how about you, why are you here?"

"I live in a small, poor village, Yan Cho changed the taxes in the past moths, and they were way too high to afford paying them. My father went to face him one day and he was taken as prisoner, and I'm here to revenge my village and my father." This time she was the one to put a hand on his shoulder, they stared at each other for few minutes, when

Ryu kissed Yumi, she just closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss. Ryu broke the kiss and looked away. "I'm sorry; I just felt that I have to do it. I'm sorry."

Yumi putted her hand on his. "There's no need to be sorry… do it again." For the first time in the past months Yumi felt like she could love again. Ryu started kissing her again, but this time he took her in his arms and kissed her deeper.

Not so far away from there

Chan was holding Mia tight in his arms, being happy because they were together and they were going to get their revenge on Yan Cho. "Are we ready to do this?"

"I am ready since the day I heard he was behind everything." After these words Mia putted her head against Chan's chest. "At least now I know that from tomorrow we are going to be a family and nothing will tear us apart." Chan embraced her even more tightly.

"Mia, I have a question that went trough my head for days, after we are going to take Yan Cho down, who is going to be Fire Lord?" After this question Mia opened her eyes and broke the embrace.

"Not me for sure!" She looked away… "But be sure that after today's attack I'm going to make a decision, a right decision that I hope will make this nation what was once."

Chan took her in his arms again and deeply kissed her.

Now it was the time for Isano to speak to her troops, to tell them what the attacking plan was. She went on the platform a little bit nervous but there was no stress. "Brave soldiers we are here today to take back what is ours, our rights, our villages and our nation. Fire Lord Rena made this nation, powerful and respected by others, she became Fire Lord at a very young age but she did great things since her first day as Fire Lord. What did Yan Cho did as Fire Lord? He destroyed everything that she did, and let's don't say what she did to few women that are here today. Am I right?" A strong yes came out of the crowd. "I didn't hear you! Am I right?" This time the yes was way stronger. "The attacking plan is simple; we have three troops near the capital, in case Yan Cho will see us coming, here, here and here… "She pointed to the left side, the right side and the front of the capital. "When we're going to reach the capital we are going to split in two teams, I will lead the main team composed from Mia, Chan, Yumi and Mirai. Ryu you are going to lead the entire troop, you have to make sure nobody comes after us in the palace, we need to be alone to defeat the few guards that are inside the palace and Yan Cho. Tomorrow things will be again like they used to be and today we are going to fight even if the last thing we're going to do, for our families, for our nation!" A crown started to cheer loud. "Right I want to make sure that the non-benders have weapons and that the best firebenders have bombs. Also Mia, make sure you have enough water for this fight, we're leaving in a half an hour! I want everybody to be ready till then.

Everyone started getting what they needed, Isano chose the best place for meeting, it wasn't too far away from the capital but they couldn't be seen from there.

Meanwhile at the palace Yan Cho was more relaxed than ever in his life, he was with his beautiful wife being a happy man. But how long will his happiness last?
