Katara looked at the horizan and sure enough there was a flickering orange-red glow and smoke rising. "No…" She froze panic-stricken, unable to move. If the forest burns down we're going down with it…
"Come on Katara!" Aang grabbed her hand and pulled her up. He made toward the flames.
"What are you doing Aang!"
"I'm going to put out the fire!"
"Aang! If you blow on the fire it'll just spread faster! We need water!" Katara started running toward the edge. "Can you get us down to the beach?" Katara asked him as a woman somewhere started screaming. "Hurry!"
"Yeah!" Aang grabbed Katara around the waist as he jumped off the edge and onto the beach slowing down at the last second to land gracefully on the beach. He let go of Katara and she rushed toward the water. Aang ran after her, powered by the screams of terrified people. He listened as the forest was quickly consumed by flames and saw Katara Water bend like never before.
She whipped a huge amount of water on twelve trees extinguishing the cackling flames. She took another two large chunks of water and put out the blaze on another clump of trees. "Aang it's not working!" She cried desperately flinging another heap of water on more trees only to have them be reconsumed just as quickly. "We need to forget the forest and get everyone to safety!"
"Right." Aang said starting to run toward the trees.
She ran and grabbed his arm to stop him. "Starting with ourselves! Look out!" She pulled him away from a tall pine that had started to fall. It tumbled over and onto the beach where it died. "That's it! Aang! Go get Marie! If all her guards and Earth benders can put sand on the fire, it'll go out! I'll start getting the villagers to safety!"
She started to rum back to the forest before pausing, running back to him and giving him a quick light kiss on the cheek before running back into the blazing forest.
Aang started to run down the beach and into the woods in a diagonal line, headed toward the palace. "Marie!" He shouted. "Help!" He quickly jumped to the left to avoid being smashed under a fiery Redwood. He ran up to Nancy's house where she ran out holding her dress up so she would slip and waving them down like Marie had.
"Aang! What happened?"
"The forest's on fire! Where's Sokka?" He asked hurriedly.
"He went to the palace, looking for you."
"Thanks!" Aang shouted as he ran towards the castle. "Oh, yeah! Where's Armin?"
"With Sokka! What should I do?"
"Get away from the forest!" He yelled as he jumped on Appa. "Yip, yip boy! And hurry!" He added as they soared through the sky toward Marie, and possibly, their savior.
