I forgot to say that Aang and Toph are like 14 or 15 in this story.

"I can't believe it." Katara said as she stared at the city Omashu, "I know the War has spread far, but Omashu always seemed... untouchable." She wore her black suit that made it easy for her to blend in, she also wore red paint on her face to hide her identity. Which is where she got the codename the Painted Lady.

"Up until now it was." Sokka crosses his arms over his chest, "Now Ba Sing Se is the only great Earth Kingdom stronghold left." He wore a black suit similar to his sister's and war paint on his face that looked somewhat like a wolf. His signature boomerang strapped onto his back is where he got the codename Captain Boomerang.

Toph stepped forward, "Okay lily livers." She said, "Let's go free the people." Toph wore a green suit with a matching green blindfold on her eyes. Her long black hair was tied back in a ponytail. She was known as the Blind Bandit, and was the leader of the United Forces.

Down below Omashu, Sokka attempts to open the entrance to the secret tunnel. Once he got it off, sewage leaks out.

"Guess this hasn't been used in a while." Toph said before going into the secret tunnel, followed by Katara and Sokka.

The group proceeds through the tunnel to the inside of Omashu. Katara uses waterbending to maneuver the sewage carefully around her and Toph. Sokka, on the other hand, is continually soaked in the foul substance.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought." Katara said when her and Toph emerged from the tunnel. Sokka emerges covered in slime. Katara spots water nearby and splashes Sokka with it using Waterbending to wash off the sewage.

"Thanks sis." Sokka says as he begins to ring out his suit. He then notices the pantapus that attached itself to his neck. He immediately tries to yank the pentapox off, "Ahh! It won't let go! Help!"

Katara quickly tackles Sokka into a wall in order to silence him, "Shh! Stop making so much noise. It's just a purple pentapus." Sokka looks at the pentapuses in fear. Katara removes the first pentapus by lightly rubbing its head as her brother watches. Sokka rubs the spot where the creature was attached.

"Hey! What are you kids doing out past curfew?" Two guards walked up to them.

"Sorry. We were at a costume party and are just on our way home." Katara replied. The three kids turn and walk away, Sokka bringing up the rear. The guard notices the red welts on the back of Sokka's neck.

"Wait, what's the matter with him?" A guard asks

"Uh, he has pentapox, sir." Katara replied, the guard approaches so she comes up with something else, "Umm, it's highly contagious."

"Oh, it's so awful. I'm dying." Sokka exaggerated

"And deadly." Katara added

"Hey, I think I heard of pentapox!" The other guard said, "Didn't your cousin Chang die of it?"

"We'd better go wash our hands, and burn our clothes." The guards run away in fear.

Toph smirked, "Great work you two!"

In the palace of Omashu, Mai walks with her mother and baby brother as they are escorted by two guards, "There really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place"

"Mai, your father was appointed governor." Her mother, Michi, replied, "We're like royalty here. Be happy and enjoy it."

Up above them, rocks were ready to be pushed down one of Omashu's mail delivery chutes which ends near where Mai's party is walking.

"The targets are approaching." A resistance fighter says

"Take them out." A man named Yung replies

"I thought my life was boring in the Fire Nation, but this place is unbearably bleak." Mai says in a dull tone, "Nothing ever happens."

The resistance fighter up above at the beginning of the chute pushes the rocks down with Earthbending. The three United Forces fighters walk by and see the rocks crumbling down at high speed. Toph hears Mai's party walking down below. She raises her hands and pulverizes the rock as it passes. Mai's party is alerted by the sound and looks up to see what caused it. Mai who squints her eyes to make out who is standing above her.

Michi points at Toph, "The resistance!"

Mai faintly smiles as she spreads her arms at Toph, causing tiny arrows to fly towards her. Toph quickly jumps back, avoiding the arrows which bury themselves in the stack of construction material she lands on. The three run away as two of the Fire Nation guards are climbing up ladders to get to them.

Katara quickly turns around and uses the water from her pouch to form a water whip and send the two guards flying off into the deep. Mai reaches the top. While she is running toward Katara, she stretches out her right hand, shooting off some more arrows. Katara raises a shield of ice to protect herself as the arrows embed themselves in it. Mai keeps charging Katara, who runs away. Mai jumps over the icy wall in hot pursuit of the disguised Waterbender.

Toph waits for Katara and lets her pass as she waits for the arrival of Mai. With a stop of her foot, she causes some of the construction scaffolding to collapse. Mai sees the scaffolding collapse and directs a throwing star right at Toph. Sokka throws his boomerang at it, knocking the flying star to the ground.

Mai stands on one side of the collapsed scaffolding and has a clear shot on the three kids. As she throws more arrows at them, the ground beneath the team opens up, making them disappear and rapidly closes again. Mai looks at the place where her targets disappeared, letting out a deep sigh. She turns around and walks away.

Green sewage waste drips from the ceiling of the place the three kids fell into. A group of people watch them as Toph and Sokka rub their heads, while Katara just sits there a bit disorientated.

"Ty Lee, could that possibly be you?" Azula said to the upside down girl balancing on her index fingers.

Ty Lee smiles when she sees Azula, "Azula!" She flips from her stance and spins around in a graceful twirl to bow down before Azula. She runs forward to embrace her friend, "It is so good to see you!" She lets her go

"Please, don't let me interrupt your..." Azula starts and raises an eyebrow in wonder, "Whatever it is you were doing." Ty Lee, still smiling, does a backflip and ends up lying on her chest with one leg stretched out over her head and the other straight up to the sky.

Azula glances around, "Tell me, what is the daughter of a nobleman doing here?" She looks back at Ty Lee, "Certainly our parents didn't send us to the Royal Fire Academy for Girls to end up in... places like this."

Azula looks at three men who are trying to move a platypus bear. The Bear groans and moves up to reveal that it has laid an egg. Azula looks at this in disgust and turns her attention back to Ty Lee, grinning once more, "I have a proposition for you."

Ty Lee, who is still lying on the ground, watches the same Platypus bear as Azula, but she looks happy to see what has happened. When Azula addresses her, she diverts her attention away from the bear and looks at Azula in a wandering gaze.

"I'm hunting a rebellion with a couple friends." Azula says while looking casually at her nails, "You remember my older brother Zuko, don't you?"

Ty Lee rests on her chest and elbows, but now with her both feet resting on her head, "Oh yeah. He has a crush on Mai right?"

Azula nodded, "And of course you remember Aang."

Ty Lee blushed. Many girls had a crush on the Avatar and she was one of them, "Aang? How's he doing?"

"Well, he's immortal so he still looks the same." Azula replied then continued on, "I would be honored if you would join us on our mission."

"Oh... I... uh... would love to." Ty Lee stands up in a fluid elegant movement, "But the truth is, I'm really happy here." She smiles sincerely, "I mean, my aura has never been pinker!"

Azula raises up her hand in a "stop" motion, "I'll take your word for it. Well, I wouldn't want you to give up the life you love just to please me."

Ty Lee bows in respect, "Thank you, Azula." She says and continues stretching.

Azula starts walking away, "Of course, before I leave, I'm going to catch your show."

Ty Lee accidentally breaks her stance, as she gasps in panic. She continues her stretch once more and the expression of panic changes to one of worry, "Uh... yeah... sure... uh...of course..."
