Somewhere in the ship in the cells (I think)

" What should we do now that we're stuck in here?" Aang asked.

" I don't know but I'm getting out of here," Sokka said and went over to the bars. " Hey you, you guard! Lemme outta here!"

The guard simply stared at him and raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

" You heard me, lemme outta here!"

" No," was his answer.

" What do you mean no? Lemme outta here before I do get out and beat the crap out of you!" The guard simply walked away and slammed the door behind him.

" Smart," Zuko commented.

" I don't suppose you could do better now could you," Sokka asked.

" I could if I wanted to"

" Then get out of here then"

" Well, if I could I would have already did"

" But you just said that-"

" Sokka, relax, I don't think that anyone wants to start a fight right now," Aang said.

" Yeah, listen to your friend," Zuko said.

" Shut up!"

" Why don't you?"

" Why don't the both of you?" Lena yelled. They were both silent for a minute and then-

" Why should I shut up?" Sokka asked.

" Since you're a pain in the ass," Zuko said.

" Well, so are you, you spoiled prince!" Sokka retorted.

" At least I'm a prince, not just a poor water peasant," Zuko retorted to that retort.

" When I get my hands on you," Sokka threatened.

" What you going to do huh? Hit me?" Zuko asked.

" Yeah and more"

" I'd like to see you try"

" I'd like to see the two of you shut up right about now," Lena said.

" Why should I?" Zuko asked.

" Because someone is coming and I wanna know that's why," Lena hissed. Everyone turned to see someone come in. It was the guard again and this time, Zhao accompanied him.

" What brings you down here Zhao?" Zuko spat.

" Just checking on my prisoners of course," Zhao answered, smirking.

" Where are you taking us?" Aang shouted.

" Where else but straight to the Fire Nation. When I hand you over to the Fire Lord, the fire nation could finally win this war and I'll be the Fire Lord's favorite," Zhao said.

" Yeah right," Zuko muttered.

" Did I happen to also say that when I hand the Avatar in that your only chance of regaining your honor goes down the drain?" Zhao added, catching Zuko's attention really quickly.

" You bastard!" Zuko said, stand up and walking over to the bars.

" Yeah," Zhao laughed. " I'll look forward to handing you in too"

" I didn't do anything"

" Yeah you did, you were associating with that little traitor," Zhao said pointing at Lena.

" Who you calling a traitor?" Lena asked, glaring at him.

" Why wouldn't you be a traitor for helping the Avatar and talking to this sad excuse for a prince," Zhao said. That ticked off Zuko and his hands started to smoke.

" I'd watch your temper if I were you by the way," Zhao said as he left with the guard and slammed the door behind. Silence hung in the air for a few minutes until….

" Argh," Zuko said as he started to kick the wall trying to let out his anger. Everyone just watched him. Lena sighed and got up, walked over to the bars and started to talk to Aang and Sokka.

" We all wanna get out of here right?" she asked.

" No duh," Sokka said, rolling his eyes.

" Well, I got a plan, you in?"

" Okay, what's your plan?" someone said from behind her. It turned out that Katara woke up finally.

" Nice to see that you're awake," Lena said. " So, are we all in?" she asked, looking particularly at Zuko.

" Why not but after this, we go back to being enemies okay?" Zuko asked.

" Hell yeah," Sokka said.

" Now how do we get out of here?" Aang asked.

" That's the easy part, but what do we do after we get out of here?" Lena asked. Then, they all started talking about things and it was nightfall before they got a plan ready.

" But then what do we do after-" Aang asked but then another guard came down with dinner and they all fell silent. The guard simply pushed a bowl for each of them through the bars and left.

" What the hell is this stuff?" Sokka asked, sniffing it. Katara burst out laughing when he tasted it. " Ugh, this stuff is horrible!"

" Nice to know that, never trusted him to give us food," Lena laughed.

" It's not that bad Sokka," Aang said and he tasted it then, " ugh, ahhh, phffffff," Aang said, spitting it out after a minute, choking on it.

" I don't think we should trust Zhao to give us food," Zuko said with an amused look on his face.

" I think we figured that out," Katara said.

" Okay can we stop smelling the food Sokka and get on with the plan?" Lena asked.

" Okay, so we know what to do?" Aang asked. Everyone answered yes. " Now how do we get out of here?"

" Easy, with this," Lena said as she pulled out a bobby pin from her hair.

" That's going to get us out?" Sokka asked in disbelief.

" Yep"

" I don't believe you"

" How about now?" Lena asked as a satisfying click was heard.

"Can you teach me how to do that?" Aang asked while Katara was laughing at the look on Sokka's face.

" I never thought a girl's accessory would help a guy," Zuko commented.

" When you get captured a few times, you learn to pick a lock," Lena said as she started to work on Aang and Sokka's lock.

A few minutes later, everyone was out and trying to make it out through the ship that was like a maze. After knocking out ten guards and almost sounding the alarm three times, they managed to get to deck and waited for Appa to get there after Aang blew the whistle when they were sneaking out of the brig.

" What's taking Appa so long?" Sokka asked impatiently.

" I don't know, I mean do you know what happened to him after we got hit?" Aang said, defending the bison.

" No, but-"

" Will you two shut up, you're going to get us all caught," Zuko hissed.

" Why don't you?" Sokka said a little too loud.

" It's the AVATAR!" some guy yelled and then soldiers and guards came out of nowhere.

" Look what you did Sokka!" Katara exclaimed.

" How about we yell at Sokka later and run?" Lena said, and started to run away from the oncoming soldiers. Everyone followed her and started to run around the deck, the very large deck with a lot of room to fight and hopefully not get caught. After about five minutes, soldiers surrounded them and Zhao was staring at them.

" I underestimated you Avatar," he said, with his hands flaming.

" Don't you always?" Lena said carelessly. For a response, she jumped out of the way as Zhao launched fire at her.

" You shouldn't hit a girl," Zuko said, his hands also smoking, just waiting to start fighting.

" Then why don't I hit you?" Zhao said, then the fighting began, and it seemed like havoc everywhere. Katara was using her waterbending and knocking soldiers out with large waves hitting them. Zuko and Zhao were going at it. Aang was helping Katara fight and Sokka was just throwing around his boomerang. Lena was firebending, helping Katara knock off soldiers, and then, just to make the story perfect, it started to rain. So isn't that perfect?

" Where they hell is Appa?" Sokka asked.

" I don't know," Aang said, dodging a fire blast.

" Well, blow the whistle again then," Katara advised.

" I did that already"

" You're not worthy to be a prince," Zhao said as he and Zuko fought.

" You don't deserve to be Admiral," Zuko retorted.

" I don't think that you're father taught you much respect for your elders did he"

" He did, but I don't think that you count"

" Well, maybe you just have to taught," Zhao said and they were in intense fighting for the next few minutes and let's go back to Katara, Sokka, Aang and Lena.

" Is that Appa?" Lena asked as she pointed to a large white figure in the sky.

" Yeah that's Appa," Aang shout in joy.

" Then let's get ready to go then," Sokka said.

" What about Zuko?" Katara asked.

" Let's just leave him here"

" Sokka, you can't just leave him here," Aang said.

" Why not?"

" Even though he's the enemy, it's still not right to leave him here"

" Fine but where is he?"

" He's over there fighting Zhao," Lena said pointing while also dodging flames. Zhao had managed to knock Zuko down and Zuko was struggling to get up.

" You're just a weakling," Zhao taunted as he got stood there about a few yards away form Zuko and launched a large fire blast at Zuko. Zuko braced himself for the blow but it never came. He looked up to see that someone stopped it with a fire whip. Fire whip? (I don't know where I got that idea from but it sounds cool and I was thinking if there's a water whip, there could be a fire whip and that'll look cool if you think about it.)

" You truly are a traitor Lena," Zhao yelled after he saw who stopped his attack.

" I don't care and besides, being a traitor's cool. You have people coming after you while you run for your life. That's so much fun don't you think?" Lena said, smiling.

" You know what happens to traitor right"

" Refresh my memory"

" They get punished," Zhao said and launch more fire at her and she threw fire back at him. Then, they both launch a fireball at each other causing them both to go flying back. Lena ended up next to Zuko and everyone else while Zhao flew back some twenty feet since there was nothing to stop him. And if it wasn't lucky, Appa came by their side and they all hopped on, although Zuko needed some help since he was badly hurt.

" Well, that escape plan went well," Aang, said as they were flying away.

" Yeah but Aang, we're flying in a storm," Sokka yelled over the wind.

" Oh no," Aang said. Everyone turned to see a huge wave come at their way, a huge, huge wave.
