The next morning at the bottom of the stairs to the palace, Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph were loading Appa's saddle while Shao was preparing Claw to travel. Zirrinni was getting Echo's saddle in place when Katara walked to her.

"...What did you do to Long Feng last night?" She asked.

Zirrinni tensed but then took a deep breath and turned to her fellow Waterbender. "...As you know, being Waterbenders means we're at our strongest during a full moon." Zirrinni said and Katara nodded. "...One night during a full moon, I saw this kid our age picking on a younger kid. I tried getting the teenager to stop, but he refused. I started getting mad and when he pushed me, I got so mad when he started marching to the younger kid that I thought my bending could stop the bully.

"I held my hand out, but there was no water. Even so, he was stopped and the kid took off running. The bully looked at me like I was an evil spirit then I let go of him and hauled ass home. I broke down in front of my parents while telling them what happened. I must've cried myself to sleep that night because the next thing I knew, it was morning. Until last night, I had held on to a vow to never use that awful...bloodbending again."

Katara had a look of horror and sympathy as she hugged Zirrinni. Much to her surprise, the hybrid bender hugged back.

"We're set and ready when you guys are." Aang said then the two saw him on Appa's head while Sokka, Toph, and Zuko were in the saddle. Shao was on Claw's back while Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee walked to Zirrinni. Katara walked up Appa's tail while Zirrinni sat in Echo's saddle. Mai sat behind her, followed by Azula and Ty Lee. The dragon and sky bison soon started flying while the badgermole began burrowing underground.

A couple days later, in a carriage with cage on it attached to a komodo rhino were several girls, two of them looking identical.

"Tell me you have a plan, Suki." One of the twins whispered.

"I'm working on it, Sirri." Suki whispered back.

"We need to get out of here." One girl said.

"Give me some time." Suki ordered.

"Keep it down back there!" The Fire Nation soldier told them as they kept moving.

Having wasted no time reaching their friends from home, Shao and Claw were the first to reach the the Kyoshi Warriors. Claw lifted himself up and Shao used his Earthbending to block the Fire Nation soldier transporting Suki and her team.

Not far away, Echo notice the soldier was blocked then turned to Appa and let out a few growls. The flying bison seemed to get the gist of what the dragon said as the two started to descend towards the carriage. Once close enough, Aang and Azula's teams jumped off the flying creatures while Shao tunneled up to his friends.

The soldier turned to them and got off the rhino.

"Azula, help me hold him off. The rest of you, free the Kyoshi Warriors." Zuko said then the brother and sister fought against the Firebender.

"Toph?" Aang said.

"I'll metalbend the door."

"Let me try picking the lock first." Mai said then Aang nodded. Mai used her sai to try and pick the lock but it didn't work. Mai sighed and stepped back.

Toph smirked then used metalbending to tear the door off. Katara gave the uniforms back to the twin leaders and the other two whose uniforms were stolen. The entire team was surprised to see Zirrinni, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee helping to rescue them but Sokka and Suki soon hugged.

Sirri looked at Ty Lee and blushed then looked down.

The four girls went to different price spots in the forest and changed them returned once fully finished changing clothes and adding their makeup.

"So what's the plan?" Suki asked Aang.

"We're headed to Ba Sing Se." The Avatar said.

"How? We all won't fit on Appa." Sirri said.

"That's why we brought Claw and Zirrinni's dragon." Shao said as Echo and Appa landed while Claw surfaced.

"Here's what I'm thinking: Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Azula, and Suki ride on Appa with me; Zirrinni, Mai, Ty Lee, and Sirri ride on Echo and the rest of the Kyoshi Warriors ride with Shao on Claw." Aang said.

Everyone nodded then set to the mounts as Aang instructed then started the journey back to Ba Sing Se.

Sirri looked at Ty Lee. "...Thank you. For rescuing us."

"You're...not mad?" Ty Lee asked.

"I myself don't hold grudges." She replied then looked at Suki. As she'd expected, her twin sister was glaring daggers at Azula while watching her. "Suki, on the other hand...I mean she doesn't always hold grudges, but she does stay mad for a while."

Meanwhile, on board another drill of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Ozai looked at a woman dressed in royal attire. Some of her brown hair was in a bun while the rest reached just above the small of her back and her eyes were amber.

"You asked to see me, Fire Lord Ozai?" She asked.

"Yes, Zinnika. As you know, Iroh is a traitor to our nation, and my son, Zuko, is a failure. But now, my daughter, Azula, has proven to be a disappointment. Prove your loyalty to your country and bring all three of them to me somehow." Ozai said.

Zinnika bowed. "As you wish, my Lord. I'll disguise myself as a refugee and infiltrate Ba Sing Se and find them." She said.

"Good. Now go."

Zinnika then went to ready a mongoose lizard. Once she was ready, she rode out ahead on the creature, bound for Ba Sing Se.

That's chapter three. Review, favorite, and follow and I'll post more chapters.
