"Sorry, guys," Aang said, "Looks like Appa's gonna have to wait,"
They stared at the giant drill outside the outer wall of Ba Sing Se. Natasha started to become scared.
"Natasha," Aang said, "You okay?"
"No," Natasha said, "That is one big drill,"
o.O.o
"Now what's so big that Appa has to wait?" Sokka asked.
Aang pointed at the drill, "That,"
Natasha had been scared of this part for a long time. Natasha jumped when General Sung yelling, "We're doomed!"
"Get ahold of yourself!" Sokka said, slapping him.
"Sorry,"
"Would you like the Avatar's help now?" Toph asked.
"Yes, please,"
"The question is, how are we going to stop that thing?" Aang said, pointing at the drill.
All heads turned to Sokka.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Sokka said.
"You're the idea guy," Aang said.
"So, what, I'm the only person who can ever come up with ideas? That's a lot of pressure!" Sokka complained.
"And the complaining guy,
"That part I don't mind,"
"THIS ISN'T HELPING!" Natasha said, waving her arms in the air. "What's the plan?"
o.O.o
"He doesn't look injured," said General Sung.
Katara stopped attempting to heal the Earthbender. "His chi is blocked. Who did this to you?"
"These two girls ambushed us. One of them hit me with quick jabs, and I couldn't Earthbend anymore and I could barely move."
"Ty Lee," Katara said, widening her eyes in realization. "She doesn't look dangerous, but she knows the human body and it's weak points. It's like she takes you down from the inside.
Sokka jumped up in excitement. "Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh! Ooh!"
"Yes?" Katara said, looking at him.
"What you just said! That's how we're gonna take down the drill! We'll take it down from the inside!"
"We're going in the drill?" Natasha laughed, "No, thanks,"
"It could work!" Sokka said.
"Ugh," Natasha groaned, "Why can't this be another thing I can work circles around?"
"It'll work perfectly!"
"I hope you know what you're doing," Natasha said.
o.O.o
"Everyone into the hole!" Toph said after Earthbending a hole into the ground.
Once they were inside, Sokka said, "It's so dark in here! I can't see a thing!"
"Oh, no, what a nightmare!" Toph said sarcastically.
"Sorry,"
After finding an opening in the drill, Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Natasha climbed in.
"So, now what?" Natasha said, looking around.
"Okay, so we need to split the bracse, so the drill wil fall apart." Sokka said.
"What's this 'we' stuff? Aang and I will be doing all the work," Katara said.
"You see, I'm the plan guy, you guys are the cut-stuff-up-with-waterbending guys! Together we're Team Avatar!"
"Where do I fit into the equation?" Natasha said.
"You're the secret-airbending-ninja-with-possible-health-problems guy," Sokka smiled.
"Possible health problems?" Natasha shook her head.
After waterbending the brace, Sokka stared at it in disappointment. "It hardly moved!"
Natasha ran toward the brace and started pushing against it. "Move, move, move!"
"Did you guys hear that?" Sokka said, "It's falling apart! We've gotta get outta here!"
Suddenly, the intercom came on with the captain saying, "Congratulations, crew! We've made contact with the Ba Sing Se wall! Start the count down to victory!"
"Oh, no," Natasha said, standing up. "What are we gonna do?"
"I know!" Aang said. He began talking about his Earthbending training with Toph and how you shouldn't put all of your energy into one strike. He explained carefully what they should do, finally ending with, "Natasha, you deliver the final blow."
"Okay," Natasha said, popping her knuckles.
After taking down a few braces, Sokka said, "Good work, Team Avatar! Now we just need to- duck!"
After seeing the blue fire rush toward her, Natasha quickly ducked.
"You're right! It IS the Avatar!... And friends..." Ty Lee smiled flirtatiously at Sokka.
"You guys get outta here!" Aang said.
"You get them! The Avatar's mine!" Azula said.
Natasha ran through the drill with Katara and Sokka, sending Airbending blasts behind her to throw off Mai and Ty Lee.
"Natasha!" Katara yelled out, pointing behind her. Natasha managed to blow Mai back, but missed Ty Lee, resulting in Natasha's chi getting blocked. Sokka quickly ran back to get her, and they kept running.
"'Slurry pipeline'? What does that mean?"
"It's rock and water mixed together! It's our way out!" Sokka said.
They jumped into the slurry. "Try to block my chi in here, circus freak!" Katara yelled.
Katara bent the slurry, trying to plug the drain.
At that moment, Toph appeared. "Need help?"
"Toph! Help me plug this drain!" Katara said.
Once the drain was plugged, Toph Earthbent them onto a boulder to avoid the flood of the slurry. The drill came to a halt.
"Good effort out there today, Team Avatar!" Sokka said.
"Ugh, enough with the Team Avatar stuff! It'll never catch on!" Katara said.
A/N: Things are gonna get interesting in Ba Sing Se, I promise!
