The Fire Nation flag hangs over the newly installed front gate. The path up to the city gate has been recently broken along a good portion of its length and been repaired. Around the fortress the scaffolding of what appear to be siege towers can be seen. Columns of smoke still rise from various places in the city.
Atop a hill the group looked over the destroyed city… Aang pacing back and forth.
"Aang… I know your upset, but you need to sit down for a moment and rest… we JUST got out of that cave"
"I can't believe it. I know the war has spread far" cried Aang, he turns to face his friends "but Omashu always seemed...untouchable."
"I'm sorry… but, untouchable?" said Suki "This aint Ba-Sing-Se"
"I know the plan was to find this… Bumi, and get trained by him" said Sokka, he looked back just as a building exploded with fire "But… I think"
Aang turned around in a huff
"Think what?" said Aang defiantly
Sokka looked at Aang, not sure how to say it with out being a
"He might be dead" said Ai, sitting up
Oh good, she said it… Ai doesn't seem to give two shits about giving Aang bad new.
"How could you even think that" said Aang
Ai stood up, despite Katara insisting she stay down. Ai popped her neck.
"Because I can see the facts presented" said Ai "The fire nation will kill anyone that oppose them… and seeing that this city is in ruins… i'm guessing he fought back"
"I know you had your heart set on Bumi" started Katara
"This isn't about finding a teacher… this is about saving a friend" said Aang "And if you aren't going to help me… then I'll do it myself"
"Well well, someone does have a pair" said Ai, gesturing "Lead the way"
Aang still in the moment nodded his head and turned around… tripping on his own feet and falling off the cliff. Ai sighed and held her head.
"And the moment is ruined" said Ai, looking over the edge "Nice going dumb ass"
Moments later the group was following Aang in the canyon under the city. Tracking through a musty moat, taking them to a secret entrance to the city. Suki and Katara sitting atop Appa grossed out by the sludge… and the stench.
"So… this secret entrance… is the sewer" said Ai
"Sewer, what's that?" asked Aang
"Its where all the waste goes… it's where all the" started Ai
"Wahhhh… I just stepped in shit" cried Sokka
"Ewwww, I just saw a Rat-Bird" cried Katara, a chill going up her spin
"Is that a Rat-Bird riding a piece of shit… ewwww, its floating" cried Suki
"Everything floats down here" said Ai without missing a beat
Silence
"Was that a reference from your time… because i don't get it" said Katara
Ai sighed, this future is no fun.
After an hour walk thought the nastiest shit known to man… pun slightly intended, they finally found there salvation and glory with a man hole… pun intended. One by one the gang came out, gasping for air.
Smellerbee quickly started to roll in dirt, to get some of the sewer water and sludge off her. She liked to be dirty… but this stuff burns, too spicy for her nose and skin. Everyone, minus Katara and Suki where also popping Vampire Octopus Leeches… or as Aang called them Purple Pentapus, off themselves… seeing that they went through the sludge.
Appa was free of the creature as they couldn't get past his thick fur, as was Balto. Just a little tickle to the head and they let go… and where tossed back into their homes with slightly full bellies from there feeding.
Everyone, again minus Katara and Suki had red dots where the creature had grabbed them. As they collected themself and turned the corner, Ai and Sokka bumped into some fire nation guards.
"What do you kids think your doing? It's past curfew" said the guard
"Oh s-sorry" said Katara "We're on our way now… we, and an accident"
The guard didn't seem to question it… but did notice something.
"What with them?" asked the guard, pointing to Ai, Aang, Sokka and Smellerbee
"They have… pentapox" said Suki quickly
"Penta… pox" said the guard, reaching out to inspect Ai closer
"I wouldn't do that sir… it's highly contagious" said Katara
Ai turned her head and happened to sneeze, getting him to flich.
"Also deadly to adults" finished Suki
"Wait…Pentapox, didn't your cousin Chang die to that last year?" asked the other guard
The first guard froze in fear… he looked down and remember he bumped into one of them, he backed up and pointed.
"Get them home and in bed, and you two be careful" said the guard, turning to his friend "We need to get back and wash out hands and burn these cloths"
With that they took off with heist… Ai leaned over.
Pentapox?" asked Ai
"Its an Earth Nation Skin irritation, you get these red sores all over your body and it makes you very itchy… you get it once when your young, than never again" said Suki
"What happens if you don't get it young, and get it as an adult?" asked Sokka
Suki shrugged her shoulders
=== Mai ===
Mai was walking with her mother, Rarity and baby sister, Himawari because it what her mother wanted,. They weren't alone as there some bodyguards that was guarding the three of them.
"There really is no fathoming the depths of my hatred for this place." said Mai.
Rarity, whose skin was as white as snow with radiant purple hair was looking at her because she knew that this was getting to her. She doesn't like her daughter feeling unhappy, but she didn't like her daughter carry… what was apparently from her father side of the family, a giant scroll on her back. Mai just sighed with depressed look on her face.
"Mai, your father was appointed governor. We're like royalty here. Be happy, and enjoy it. and must you carry that ugly thing on your back?" said Rarity.
Mai seemed a little offended by that
"What? It's a part of me and our family's history. I mean I didn't read my ancestors diary to know that our family's bloodline came from generation of ninjas for nothing." said Mai
"Ninja are not part of the Fire nation's history. They are just savage being that start wars with other savage ninjas. I wished that your father didn't show that diary to you in the first place." said Rarity.
"If Ninja aint apart of our history… explain the fire seal on this" growled Mai, turning and pointing to a land of fire seal… closely resemble fire nation "Ninja's were in all the nations… before the nations"
Himawari let out a small whimper, getting Mai to stop… also Rarity from responding. She sighed and held up her hand.
"Ok… let's not fight in front of Himawari, we'll discuss this like rational… mature ladies over tea and scones later." said Rarity "Deal?"
Mai just nodded because she didn't want to make Himawari cry… not only because it was annoying, she also didn't like to see her upset.
Not that she cares or anything...
=== Ai's group ===
Ai and the others were watching them from the corner, waiting for an opening to to leave to move thought out the city.
"Hey, kid, you might want to stop that boulder." said the Fox.
Ai raise an eyebrow for a moment and she was about to say something to the Fox when suddenly...
BOOM!
Ai looked up to see a large boulder that was on its way down to crush the woman and her daughters and the guards that was escorting them, them just now reacting to the sound. She jumped to the suite and brought her hands together and a Clone appeared out of nowhere.
She extended her right hand as the clone started to build up Chakra in the palm of her hand. Katara was looking at the notice that Ai was facing a large boulder. Once her attack was ready, she charged at the boulder and brought the ball of chakra into the boulder.
"RASENGAN!" yelled Ai.
The boulder burst into tiny pebbles which it alerted the mother and Mai for a moment. Ai stuck to the wall and looked down at them and grin innocently.
"RESISTANCE!" yelled the guards
"The wha?" said Ai
Mai throws a kunai at Ai, but Ai pulled out her own kunai to block it. Mai brought her hands together to build up chakra to her feet. She climbed her way to Ai catching the deflected kunai, which Ai raise an eyebrow at Mai.
'Wow, shes good. She's somehow mastered chakra control. Let's see if she can keep up with me.' thought Ai.
She pulled out three shuriken and tossed at her which she moved to a different direction away from Katara and the others. Mai block them with a gave chased while Katara and the other ran for their live because the guards noticed them and was going after them, leaving one to escort Rarity and her child to safety.
"What is she doing" said Sokka
"She probably was trying to lead the guards away from us. Let's keep moving because we can't be capture." Suki told her.
Katara nodded her head and continue to run. Then ground started to open up underneath them. And they all fell in a hole and the ground close before guards arrive. They looked around to find them but they couldn't.
=== Ai ===
Ai was looking around the corner to find her pursuer, only for Mai to be on top of the roof, waiting for her opening for her to strike. Ai started to move which the light from the Moon had casted a shadow of a person that was on top of the roof behind her. She turned around to see that Mai had jumped from the roof.
She pulled back her sleeve to reveal a needle shooter and she released a barrage of needles at Ai. Ai use her kunai to block some of the needles that had a heading towards her. Then some of the needles hit her right leg and left shoulder.
'Ok… she's really good' thought Ai
Mai smiled at her handy work because she saw of the needles had hit her. She watched as some of the blood was dripping from Ai's left arm. Ai threw her kunai at the shooter which it jammed it to prevent from being use again. Mai just sigh and unclicked the large scroll from her back. She placed it on the ground and open it up and a barrage of different weapons were flying at her.
'Oh Shit' thought Ai 'Thats Tenten's technique'
Ai slammed her hands together
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
The ground started to shake which a stream of mud popped out of the ground and formed into a giant wall to block incoming weapons. Ai sigh with relief that she was able to summon up a defense like this. She was looking from the corner of the Mud Wall. Mai was looking at the mud wall before and sighed.
"Damn it" said Mai
Mai launch another barrage of weapons from the scroll at the mud wall again which they all got stuck. Ai started to laugh at her because her attack was useless and Mai launch a barrage of kunai.
"Hey, kid, did you know that she just launch a barrage of kunai with paper bomb tags right?" said Kurama.
"WAIT WHAT?!" yelled Ai
BOOM
=== Elsewhere ===
Sokka was out cold from the fall and he was drooling in his sleep. While the rest looked at him alongside there guest
"Hey, boy. Wake up."
He was being shake by someone was talking and just ignore it. Katara sigh and water bend a little bit of water over Sokka's face. The cold water woke him up and he was looking around to see where they were. He was looking around to see that it was they're in a cavern of some kind.
"What happened?" asked Sokka.
"You are in the hidden cavern underneath Omashu and this is the home of the toads."
Sokka looked at his sister for a moment to see that it was that was talking. Katara shook her head and because she didn't say anything. Over at Suki, again a head shake… Appa, no… Balto, no, Momo… no.
He looked at Smellerbee, the only other person it could have been… she was, cleaning herself once more. Turning back to Katara, not bothering to look over at Aang.
"Who says that?" said Sokka.
"Down here, boy."
Sokka look down to see an old green toad with a cane
"AHHHHHHHHH! A TALKING FROG!" Sokka screamed.
"How rude. I am not a frog, boy… I'm a toad. My name is Lord Fukasaku, boy. And this is my wife Shima." said Fukasaku.
Then a purple and yellow toad hopped over to them. She waved to the five kids and smiled at them. Katara placed her hand on her chin to ponder.
"Ai told me about a summon creatures that can talk." said Katara "I thought she was joking… guess not"
Lord Fukasaku and Shima were shocked to hear Ai's name and looked at each other and back Katara. Katara gave a surprise looked at smiled because she was being rude to them
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Katara, that frighten guy over there is my brother Sokka, that's Aang, over there is Suki and Smellerbee." said Katara, then to the animal companions "Balto, Appa and Mo…" Katara stopped to noticed that a certain lemar was missing "Hmm… wonder where he got to"
"Oh and I'm sure your initial reaction to them talking to you wasn't somewhat fearful" snapped Sokka
Shima hopped closer to Katara
"Katara was it… Did you say Ai? As in Uzumaki Ai." asked Shima.
Katara looked at the female toad with a puzzle look on her face. She had to think for a moment, cause Ai only used her last name once… she nodded
"How do you know her?" asked Katara.
Fukasaku and Shima look at each other for a moment because Shima had tears of joy in her eyes. Fukasaku was also crying for joy.
"Well… I helped train her in her Sage Mode, not in the Toad Style mind you… but in her mother sage ability" said Fukasaku
"You mean that angel form?" asked Katara
Fukasaku flinched slightly, he wanted to be mad, but in the situation of… everything, couldn't… least as much.
"Damn girl… I told her she wasnt ready" said Fukasaku
Katara, Sokka, and Suki was shocked to hear that Ai was trained by toads. And how her teacher seemed to be upset about her using her Sage Mode
"I don't buy it. Ai being train by a couple frogs is not possible." said Aang.
Fukasaku was ticked when he was preferred as a frog again. He was hopped over to Aang and jumped up and kicked him in the face which send him flying into a wall. The sound of impact scared the citizens.
"What the hell was that?" said Sokka.
"That my boy, is Frog Kumite. It is one of the basic fighting styles for Sage Mode." said Fukasaku
"Toads Sage, Frog Kumite" said Smellerbee, repeating the new words she heard
As Katara was looking at Aang, Suki looked back.
"Not being rude… but, if your upset about getting called Frogs… why name your style after them, and not Toads like yourself?" asked Suki
Shima looked over at Fukasaku, both blinked at each other than looked back.
"Eh… Frog Kumite sounds better than Toad Kumite" said Fukasaku
"Now then, where is Ai-girl? I would love to see her?" asked Shima.
Katara lower her eyes because she was worry about Ai. Fukasaku knew just by looking at her.
"We got separated after some Fire Nation royals thought she was attacking them. We don't know where she is." said Katara.
He looked at her, but he smiled at her.
"Well, I know that she is doing fine. She will return in due time. Just have patience, child. Now, we need to move these people to a different location because sooner or later, this cavern will be discovered." said Fukasaku.
=== Ai ===
Mai knew that it would work and she looked down to see blood on the ground. She smirked because she had landed a blow on Ai. She followed the blood trail to find her. Ai was hiding because she was trying to collect her thoughts and she was bleeding from the side of her head.
'Okay, I know that girl remind me of someone that I've once knew… wait… those buns in her hair… it reminded me of Yuki and Tenten sensei.' thought Ai.
She started to make her way back to her friends to find them. She placed her hand on her side because some of her blood was dripping from her side. Then suddenly, there was a kunai with a tag on it. Ai shield for a moment, but nothing happened which she knew that she was in the clear. She brought her hands together.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" yelled Ai
Then there was a lot of her which she knew that this was going to throw Mai off her trail. Because she knew that no one could not find her among a lot of clone unless her enemies are byakugan and Sharingan users… not like there around anymore.
They started to move into different direction, but the clones were hit by a barrage of weapons. Ai was shocked to see that all of her clones were gone.
"How the hell did you know they were clones?" asked Ai
"The tag that I threw at your feet." Mai told her.
She extended her hand to her which Ai saw that there was a thin wire on Mai's finger. She tugged on the tag by bending her finger down and she cut the wire. She brought her hands to activate the tag which it started to glow.
"A flash bomb." said Ai
The tag grew brighter and Ai tried to shield but the flash was too great for her eyes. Mai pulled out four color scrolls from her back pocket. One blue, one red, one orange, and one purple and she place them on the ground in a circle.
She smirked because she knew that she was going to reveal her family's legendary technique. No one had seen her attack… not her family, nor her friends
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" said Mai
"WAIT WHAT!?" yelled Ai
Three clones started to appeared around the scrolls, the real Mai falter for a moment, but stood back up…. Sweat dripping down her brow. The four of them pick up the scrolls and open them up. Mai bite their thumb which cause it to bleed, as the clones opened up the scrolls and she drug her finger across the pages. They all rolled them up and performed hand signs. Then they placed the scrolls on the ground.
"SUMMONING JUTSU!" shouted Mai.
There was four puffed of smoked appeared and Ai heard four roars. She was trying to figure out where the roar was coming from. Mai looked up to see four dragons that she had summoned. She didn't look scare when she saw the beasts and watch as they lower their heads to her.
"This girl had summoned us, my brothers. It has been so long since our power had been use." said the first
"Gunshin, I could feel chakra of our former master." said the 2nd
"I don't know, Byakko. Do you think this little girl have the power like her?" said the 3rd
"Byakko is right, Banrai. Inauma could sense the same chakra." said Gunshin.
Mai just sigh at the dragons before them.
"Alright, I will need your power to defeat this foe." order Mai.
Then the four dragons nodded their heads and they transformed into four most powerful weapons. Each weapon appeared before the four Mai and they look at the weapons. Once Ai's sight came back to her but she was caught off guard when she a blade cut her right shoulder.
She was turned her head to see that it was one of the weapons that she would have recognize. Her eyes widen at the sight of the blade that Mai was holding.
"Gunshin?" asked Ai.
Then she was caught off guard again and she cut by Banrai. She was avoiding both Inazuma and Byakko. Mai knew that she was going to have to end this fight. She performed a few hand signs and all four weapons started to glow.
"Fire style: Dragon Tornado Jutsu!" shouted Mai.
Then the flames started to form around Ai and she was being trap inside of a flaming vortex. She was started to get cut from all side. Her only way out was to jump to the top of the vortex. She was almost there but Mai appeared at the top of the tornado with Banrai and Inazuma in her hands.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu!" yelled both Mai's
Both attack connected which send Ai back down to the ground. She coughed up blood and once the wind clear. Ai was trying to get back up on her feet. Her vision was starting to get blurry from lose too much blood and from using up too much chakra.
She was looking at Mai but her vision was playing tricks because she saw a little girl that was walking to her. Mai was walking up to her with her sword ready to deliver the final blow.
"Normally, people would had died from my attacks. But you can't withstand this last attack from my sword. This style has been passed down from generation to generation." said Mai, a small smirk "It was fun, but now you die assassin." Mai put her hands together as her weapon shined
"Fire Style: White Flame Dragon Pierce Jutsu!"
Gunshin started to power up with white Flame engulf the blade. She started to charge at Ai to pierce her through the heart. Ai was too weak and she could barely stand… she had gotten complaint with the lack of strong fighters. There was a ghost hand that touch Ai's shoulder which pushed her to the side to only get pierce in the shoulder. The white flames came out of her shoulder. Mai was shocked to see that she had missed her target.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Ai.
She collapsed to the ground.
"I missed… But I never miss." muttered Mai, a glint in her eye as she grinned
This girl was gonna give her a challenge, good… she wasn't done playing yet.
Ai held her shoulder for a moment and some of the blood was pouring into her hand. She looked at her right hand for a moment saw that she was going to need to regroup. She started to perform hand sign and placed her hand on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!" yelled Ai.
There was giant puff of smoke and Mai could see anything, until it blew away. Mai looked up to see that a giant red toad with cigarette in his mouth and stood 55 feet tall. The toad a giant knife on his side. He blinked in confusion and looked around a few moments…. Then down at Mai, who took a step back.
"How in the hell I get all the way out here. Did someone summon, but that's impossible because the era of ninja has long since passed." said Gamakichi
"I summoned you, Gamakichi." said Ai.
Gamakichi looked up to see that someone was on his head, Ai moved across it and down to his nose. Gamakichi eyes focused on her.
"Ai, is that you? Where the hell have you been? You have… had everyone in the village worry sick about you." said Gamakichi.
She started to fade in and out.
"I will tell you later. I need to find my friends." said Ai.
=== Cavern ===
A large with orange symbol on his cheeks and he hopped over to Fukasaku, getting the other to realize just how big of a cavern they where in.
"Hey, has anyone seen Gamakichi?"
"What's wrong, Gamatatsu?" asked Fukasaku.
"Me and Gamakichi were looking around for the people to leave. And then, poof. He's gone." said Gamatatsu.
Fukasaku was looking at Shima.
"You think that" started Fukasaku.
"I guess, pa. I will summon him back." said Shima.
Shima summoned a scroll and open it up. She was performing hand signs and once she was done, she placed her hand on the scroll.
"Returning Jutsu!" called out Shima.
There was a puff a smoke and Gamakichi appeared in the cavern and Aang was shocked to look at him.
"Holy crap, that Frog is huge!" yelled Aang.
"For the last time. We are toad not frogs." said Fukasaku.
Gamakichi looked at Fukasaku and he grinned.
"Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima, you might want to see this." said Gamakichi.
He opened his mouth and use his tongue to lift Ai off his head. He gently lay her down on the ground. Both Fukasaku and Shima were shocked to see that Ai was alive, but she was covering in blood and swords wounds.
Katara was looking at Ai which she was shocked to see her in that state. She used her water bending to summon around Ai's body. She started took a deep breath for a moment which the water started to glow.
"Yuki. Yuki, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Yuki." muttered Ai.
Katara continued to hear Ai called out to a person that she didn't know. Shima was looking at Ai with a worry look on her face. Katara was looking at some of the wounds was closing up much faster. Fukasaku just glared at the wounds that was closing up because he knew that it was the work of the Nine-tails evil half.
Katara noticed that Ai was crying and she wipe her tear away. Once she was done, she started to bandage her up which she let her rest.
Once they all had made it out of the cavern, Lord Fukasaku use his strength to cause a cave in which block their escape route and he sigh with relief. It was morning and Sokka grab several buckets of purple pentapus. Everyone was listen to his plan for all of them to get out of the city. Everyone was covering themselves pentapox.
=== Momo ===
Momo had flew off on his own because he was thinking of his stomach. The lemur flew towards the governor's house where Mai's younger sister was playing with her toys. She heard a sound that was in the room and she flow the sound and she was saw Momo eating himself some berries. She grabs Momo's tails which Momo turn around to see that he was found out.
Momo flew off as Himawari was holding on to Momo's which Momo fly towards the delivery chute that a lot of berries and he was eating his fill, but little did he know, Himawari was with him. He tries to fly away which Himawari grab his tail again. He try to fly higher but due to Himawari's weight weighing him down. He couldn't fly higher and he crash to the ground which Himawari on him. He was trying to get out from under her butt. Himawari was looking at the people that was walking out of the was city which she walk with them.
=== Elsewhere ===
After leaving the cavern, the group saw many people camping out in the field… all cover with red dots. Suki eyes widened and stepped back.
"Plague, there all sick" said Suki
Many earth nation soldiers looked over at Suki.
"Actually we just let a purple pentapus latch onto us a bit… scared the hell out of the fire nation." said a soldier "A rumor was spread that there was an outbreak of Pentapox… we just went with it"
Katara and Suki just happened to look at each other, then pointed.
"Did we just?" asked Katara
Suki nodded
"Yeah… i think we did" said Suki
Lord Fukasaku hops over to Ai and smile to see that she was indeed alive and well. Shima was crying her eyes out with happiness. Fukasaku look up at the stars and wipe a little bit a tear from his left eye.
Fukasaku turn his head to see that this Katara moping by the fire. He hops over to her to check up on her. He could tell that something was bother the young water bender. He hops into her lap and look up at her.
"A copper for your thoughts?" asked Fukasaku.
Katara lost her train of thought and look down at elder toad.
"I just need some time alone. I have never seen Ai cry like that before. Something must have happen in her fight." said Katara.
"Or perhaps she misses the ones that she left behind." stated Fukasaku.
Katara remember Ai mentioning she's already mourned there lost… but it's hard to say
Then an earthbender walk over to both Lord Fukasaku and Katara. He was looking at the both of them and had a concern look on his face.
"What is it?" asked Fukasaku.
"We've got a problem. We just did a head count" said the soldier
"Oh no. Did someone get left behind?" asked Katara
"No, we have an extra." said the soldier
He pointed at the at the baby girl who was hugging on Momo. Sokka noticed how it was the same child Ai rescued along with the other, before they openly attacked her.
"Hmm… seems we accidently kidnapped her" said Sokka
Fukasaku and Shima sighed simultaneously.
"Crap Baskets" said both elders
"Oh you say that too" said Sokka looking over
=== Omashu ===
"What do you mean you didn't see anything" yelled the governor "She didn't just walk out on her own"
Rarity was bawling like a child, her mascara running down her face. This was the scene Mai walked into… her eyes darted around in her head, wondering how it could have happened.
"I don't care if you weren't on duty when she was kidnapped… you idiots had ONE JOB, and you messed it up" yelled the governor "I don't care if the earth civilians have ick… get out there and find my daughter damnit"
Mai was enraged when she found out that her younger sister was taken, where were the guards… how the hell did this happen. She grips on her scroll as tight as she could. She was getting ready to leave.
"Mai where are you going?" came Rarity's voice, strained from crying
"Where do you think, mom. I am going after the Resistance and take back my little sister." said Mai.
Mai may not care about her parents position, but Himawari has always brought the joy in her gloominess. She had always been a protective when it comes to her Himawari… even if she didn't show it
"Wait" started Rarity
"Mom, I don't want to hear you speech about how unwomanly it is" started Mai "I'm going out there and doing what the damn guards can't… and find my sister"
"I wasn't going to stop you" said Rarity, her voice stern and angry
Mai looked back, a flare now in her mother tear soaked eyes. She left for a moment, going into another room… Mai watched as she came back out with a box, and set it on the table. She tapped it.
"Thing is… I had a feeling you'd take to being a… ninja" said Rarity, saying ninja like it was poisonous "and not the path I had hoped"
Mai raised an eyebrow
"So… i figured, if you going to do this… might as well look fabulous while doing it" said Rarity, drumming the top "And of course…" a dark glime in her eyes "With the state of the art weapons"
Mai walked over and opened the box, revealing a tailor made sleeveless, high-collared black qipao dress with white trimmings and a red flame pattern on the left, tied with a maroon obi. Mai saw some fishnet stocking and gave it a look, then to her mother.
Rarity just responded with a shrug, Mai resumed looked… pulling out some high heel. Then she looked at the weapons… a few dozen of all the 'toy' as Mai called them… all in a black metal.
Mai picked it up and inspected it… as the metal started to glow a red, she smiled.
"When you find the bastards that took her… make them suffer" said Rarity
=== Elsewhere ===
Himawari was walk, stumbling to keep up and catch Momo. She trip and land on her butt, her lip quiver for a second ready to cry. Balto, then started to pass her, and she was once more up and started to chase after him, giggling… as she did, She look down at Sokka's club, she stopped short and fell on her butt, and starts to play with it. Sokka looked over, and took it from her.
"No, bad Fire nation baby." said Sokka. "You'll hurt yourself"
Himawari starts to cry which Balto growl at him for causing the child to cause such a noise. Both Katara and Suki then hit him in the head. He look at all three of them but he he knew that he couldn't win when comes to girls and he knew to never anger a polar bear.
"Oh... alright." said Sokka
He place his club in front of Himawari which she stop crying. She begins to play with the club and she giggled. She was enjoying the weapon… it reminded her of her sisters toys. Mai never let her play with them.
"Ohhh you just a cutie puttie." said Suki, kissing baby girl.
"Careful. Once she gets older, she want to join the army and become a killer." said Sokka
Himawari blowing spit bubbles as Suki pop couple of them and present the rebel leader.
"Does this look like a face of a killer?" asks Suki.
"I don't know… does Ai?" said Sokka
Suki looked back over
"Touche" said Suki
Himawari just giggle which Katara just laugh but she stop for a moment because she heard Ai groan. She turn her head to see that Ai was wake.
"Where am I?" asked Ai
She look around to see that she wasn't in Omashu anymore. She look around until she was tackled by two familiars toads.
"It's been a long time, Ai girl." said Fukasaku
"Grandpa Fukasaku and Grandma Shima." said Ai.
She hug the both of them as tight as she could. She was happy to see the both of them once again.
"Boy, where to begin?" asked Ai.
"Well, we can catch up when you are fully recover." said Fukasaku.
She nodded her head and she lay back down as the couple hop away from her. Katara sat down next to her. The thought of Yuki just continue to play in her head several times. She sigh in disappointment which cause Ai to look at her.
"What's up, Katara?" asked Ai.
"Well, when I was patching you up and you was talking in your sleep." said Katara. "You call out to Yuki. Who's Yuki?"
Ai had a sad look on her face. She knew that it was matter of time for to tell her about her past. She sat up with the help of Katara.
"Well, I think that I can trust you with this story." said Ai. "Well, you remember me telling that a girl use to scold me for eating too much meat and Ramen?"
Katara nod because she remember her talking about it.
"Well, her name is Yuki. And what about to tell you dates back before I was frozen." said Ai.
=== Flashback ===
Ai was walking around Konoha because she had nothing to do. She was looking around to see that her brother was up to no good again. She stop for a moment and look at the direction to a train station.
"Isn't the Academy's orientation ceremony starts today?" asked Ai.
She place her hands back on her head as she walk towards the Academy to see the orientation. When she got to the academy, she just jump on a tree branch. She was looking at the students standing in line.
She saw her father the seventh Hokage was about to give his speech but suddenly there was a incoming train. Ai's jaw just drop as the train crash into the Hokage stone faces.
"Boruto Uzumaki is here, ya know." said Boruto
Everyone was shocked to see that happen. Ai just growl at her little brother's antics and she jump towards the Mount Hokage. She appeared behind her little brother which he tried to attack her. She block all of his attacks and she twist his arms around his back.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, Gees sis. Let go." said Boruto.
"Oh no. You are in deep trouble this time, Boruto." said Ai.
"Just because you made Jounin at a young age doesn't make you my sensei." said Boruto.
"Actually it does. Now, show your big sister some respect." said Ai.
"As if." said Boruto
Then Ai bend his arm again as he scream out in pain as a few pops and cracks emitted from it. Naruto just sigh because he knew have to deal with the both of them.
=== Day 2 ===
There is a young girl with long black hair where she had bang over her right eye. She was stacking her books together because it was lunch time. She place her hand on her stomach because it was hungry. She place her books into her bag. She was looking at Boruto for a moment because he was hiding for some odd reason.
"Hey, Yuki. You coming or what?"
She turn her at a young black girl with red hair waving at her, next to her was a girl with short black hair and red glasses. She walk over to her friends and she meet up with them. The girls starts to head to the tree with a swing to eat their lunch.
"Hey, what are you going to eat for lunch. And can I trade with you."
"Chōchō! Why do you always ask for Yuki's lunch."
"Because Sarada, Yuki has the best lunch out of all of us. I mean look at her lunch. It's completely perfect." said Chōchō.
"Well, I cook my own food and I made sure that I have best food groups for each meal." said Yuki.
Chouchou just sigh and drool over Yuki's food. Ai was looking down at the girls from her tree spot.
"Just like uncle Choji. Begging for other people's meal." said Ai, laughing.
She jump down from the tree branch and land in front of them. She sat down with Ramen in a cup. She was joining them for lunch. Yuki's just narrow her eyes because she sees Ai eat nothing but Ramen and meat. She grabs Ai's Ramen and chucked it to a trash can.
"My Ramen! Yuki, you're a cruel monster." whine Ai.
"Oh come on, Ai. All you do is eat meat and Ramen. It's time for you balance it all out." scolded Yuki. "You'll never find a boyfriend if you keep eating nothing but meat and Ramen."
"Fine. What are you my wife or something." said Ai.
Yuki just blush when she said and she starts to eat her food to hide her blush. Sarada and Chōchō looked at each other for a moment, grinning like the school girls they were learning a juice secret
"Hey, Yuki you're blushing." said Chōchō.
"S-S-Shut up, Choucho." said Yuki.
The girls starts laughing at Yuki and she knew that this was going to be a long day for them. They continue to eat their lunch before Sarada, Chōchō and Yuki went back to class. Ai was about to leave the Academy's grounds, but she was stop by a slightly plump woman with purple hair.
"Oh, hello Anko sensei." said Ai.
"Hey, Ai. I was hoping to run into you because I might need your with something." said Anko.
Ai was looking at her for a moment. She knew that this was something that she doesn't like to do.
=== Academy Training arena ===
Yuki was doing some stretches and she was still blushing because what Ai said about her being her wife. She knew that means she was going to cook for Ai. Image of her as wife appear in her head. She saw herself wearing a apron and showering Ai will different meals. Then a whistle was blew to get everyone's attention. which cause to shake her head. to snap herself back to reality. Anko was looking at her advance students.
"Okay class, today's lesson is going to be weapons summoning test." said Anko.
Everyone except Yuki groan because they weren't prepare for a test. Then Anko blew on her whistle once again.
"I know that you all upset but as a ninja, you need to expect the unexpected. I have ask a special guest to be your sparring partner. She will determine if you pass or fail this test." said Anko.
Everyone was shaking in fear because they weren't hoping for a Lord Kakashi to be the guest… not again, they all failed his test. Putting them all in groups of 3… then telling them to come at him and steal the 2 bells at his waist while he reads smut… needless to say no one got the bells.
Even with teamwork… they understood the point of it, just couldn't perform. Maybe there teamwork… could use a little work.
"Relax. It's not going to be Lord Sixth. It's going to be the daughter of Lord Seventh, Ai Uzumaki." said Anko.
Ai walked in front of Anko and her students. Yuki feels like her insides had just left her because she knew that Ai is one of best shinobi in the village. Little did that they know, Shino and his class was joining them, but they were going to watch the advance class.
"Alright. Anko sensei has ask me to teach you guys and gals to use ninja tool summoning." said Ai "Before we can begin, have any of you ever heard of Tenten the weapon specialist?"
"Yes, Ai sensei." came the whole class
"Good. Then I won't hold back." said Ai.
"Well. Okay, if I call your name, you will begin your test." said Anko.
Boruto and his classmates were watching the match closely, to learn something. Boruto knew that his sister was scary when she use ninja tools. She manage to pass four students that had manage to perform a perfect ninja tool summoning while fall six students that had did poorly. Anko was checking off names on her list.
"Lastly but least. Yuki." said Anko
Yuki walk up and took her position.
"Ah, the said daughter of the ninja tool specialist." said Ai. "Don't hold back on me because I will not hold back on you."
Yuki nods her head.
"Begin!" said Anko.
Yuki pull out her shuriken and toss them at Ai, but she dodge it with ease. Then Yuki threw a kunai with a paper bomb tie to it. Ai knock it away and into the air as it went off. She was covered with smoke which gave Yuki enough time to summon her mother's storage scrolls.
"Ninja Art: Rise Twin Dragons." yelled Yuki
Then the smoke starts to take form of Dragons. The smoke reverted into two scrolls that was swirling in the sky. Yuki jump into the middle and she spin around to grab the tools that appear. She threw a barrage of ninja tools in the smoke, but she wasn't done.
Her hands was wrap with wires and she move her hands to pull the weapons up. The weapons was moving into the air and she was control all the weapons that she summon. Once she was done, she drop to the ground to wait for the smoke to clear.
Then a kunai was pointed at Yuki's back and she look from the corner of her eye to see that Ai was standing behind her.
"It look like you loss, Yuki." said Ai, ready to pass her for summoning so many weapons
"Did I?" asked Yuki.
She popped because she use a shadow clones.
"Shadow clones jutsu!" yelled Yuki
Then three clones appear in the smoke and they were surrounded Ai. Yuki had place three scrolls in front of them as she had the last scroll. The four of them open the scroll and bite their thumb. They spread their blood the writing and twirl it around as they close it up. They perform hand signs and place the scrolls on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu." yelled Yuki
There was giant dragons that stood tall but they didn't stay for along. They took the form of weapons. Once the smoke clears, Ai was surround four Yuki with four weapons pointed at her throat.
"Wow... I have never see that form of technique before." said Ai
"I made this move myself. I call this the Four Great Dragons Dance." said Yuki
"Great job. Yuki. You pass." said Ai.
The clones and along with the weapons disappear. She bow to Ai and so did Ai. Anko had given Yuki a passing grade. She blew her whistle to end the lesson. Everyone starts to line up as Ai stood next to Anko.
"Congratulation to those that had pass the test. For those that had failure better luck next time." said Anko. "Tomorrow, we will work on teamwork building exercises. Class Dismiss."
After school, Ai was on her way to head home for dinner, but Yuki was walking with her. They both was walking in silents and Yuki was looking at Ai.
"Hey, Ai. What are you plans for the future?" asked Yuki.
"Well… it's either be the maiden after my mother or the Hokage after my father. What about you, Yuki?" said Ai.
"Well, I might want to become a legendary shinobi. I mean lord Seventh is a legendary shinobi because he is the hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War. After that, I might want to get marry." said Yuki.
"Oooh with who?" asked Ai.
Yuki look at Ai with a blush face.
"I-I-It's not with a man or anything. Like I have a patient for them." said Yuki, palming her forehead. "Why did I say that?"
"Ooh... so it's going to be with a girl? Wow, Yuki, I didn't know that you get down like that." said Ai.
"So, what if I do, I mean it's not like you will be my husband or anything." said Yuki.
"So, you want me to marry you in the future huh?" asked Ai, scratching her head
Yuki was blushing even redder and she ran off. Ai just laugh and she hold her side because her teasing went a little far. She was alone and let out of a sigh.
"To be my wife. Heh. I will have to wait for you then." said Ai
She walked home get some of Hinata's cooking. All the while not really understanding what had just happened… marriage is when two people that like each other becomes a team right? So Yuki wants to be a 2 woman team with her… right?
=== Flashback end ===
"And when it was time for me head out for my mission, that was the last time I saw Yuki." said Ai.
"Wow. She must have been pretty." said Katara.
"Well, she was. I guess that she must have gotten married without me." said Ai, still not understanding 'love' "But now, someone is using her Jutsu. To think that girl might be a jounin level as I am."
"So, this person must be a descendant of your best friend." suggested Katara
Ai was looking at Katara for a moment and she was thinking for a moment. Then sound of hawk heading towards the camp and it landed in front the leader of the resistance. He open it and handed the letter over to Aang.
"It's a letter from the governor, he thinks we've kidnapped his daughter. He wants to make a trade, his daughter for King Bumi." said Aang.
=== Azula's group ===
Azula and the other had just gotten into Omashu, just missing the whole… plague escape. They were quickly escorted to the governor palace, with the apologize that he may be a little… hot headed at the moment.
They were pushed into a fine dinning room while they awaited for the governor to finish his business. Ty Lee instantly went to the soft couch and giggle as she rolled around on it.
Yachiru calmly sat at a table with a kettle of tea… Iroh begrudgingly came over, due to the tea, Zuko following.
Azula sat and was looking out at the plains, she smile as her teacher came up. Tanya sat in across Azula and she was sipping on a cup of coffee that Viktoriya had whipped up She then served a cup to Azula… whom was getting use to the taste
"So, tell me about this Mai." said Tanya.
"Mai is one of the best warriors in the Fire Nation. Top of our class as an assassin. She believes that she is a descendant of ninja. She has this huge scroll that contain a lot of weapons. No one can't match her." explained Azula
"Hmmm... that is something we can use in the fight against the Avatar." said Tanya.
THUNK
Azula and Tanya looked out the window to see Mai, in the gear her mother gave to her looking out onto the city. She scanned the area, trying to look for signs of were… she had been at it all night, not a sign of were they went.
"Mai?" said Azula
Mai quickly glanced over, returning to her mission to find her sister
"Hey Azula" said Mai, after a few second she looked over "Azula?"
Mai's scowl slowly forming into a smile as the sun came up, shining on her face.
"I'm actually glad your here" said Mai
=== Ai's group ===
"I don't know, it might be a trap" said Sokka
"I don't think so. I'm sure the Governor wants his son back as much as we want Bumi. It's a new day" said Aang as the sun shined on his face.
=== Azula Group ===
Mai had crawled through the window to quickly catch up with her friends, and tell them what she was doing. Ty Lee was circling her, looking at her dress.
"I'm surprised to see you wearing a dress" said Ty Lee "Even if it is in your color"
"My mom made it for me… for my career choice" said Mai
Tanya made her approach, to speak to Mai… but Mai turned her head as someone catch her attention, as she also approached… cutting Tanya off. Yachiru smiled at Mai, who just gave her the typical goth scowl smile.
"Mai… so good to see you" said Yachiru, with her sickly sweet voice "You been eating your vegetables like I told you too?"
Mai nodded her head, Yachiru reaching into her pocket and pulled out a small candy, giving it to her.
"For being a good girl" said Yachiru
Mai slowly unwrapped it, putting the pink orb in her mouth. Seeing candy Ty Lee skipped over.
"Oooh, can i have one… pleeeeease" begged Ty Lee
Yachiru looked over, and pulled out another. Ty Lee quickly snatched it and unwrapped it, greedly putting it in her mouth and sucking on it. Only for her face to scrunch up at the unrivaled about of sour that had just hit her tongue.
So sour it quickly started to dry out her mouth, getting the candy stuck to her tounge. Ty Lee quickly ran off crying as she tried to find some water to help rid the taste, as Mai just rolled the sour orb around in her mouth.
Tanya stepped up after Yachiru walked away, snickering at making Ty Lee suffer with her sour candy. Both girls bowed to each other respectfully.
"Azula tells me your good with weapons… how good?" asked Tanya
Mai quickly swung her hand out to the side… throwing something at the wall. Iroh looked to the side to see a small needle sticking out of it… skewering a spider-fly. Mai effective hit a target, smaller than a copper piece… from 50 feet away, without looking.
Tanya just seemed to scoff.
"So you killed a bug… We're here to recruit you for a bigger game" said Tanya "The avatar"
Mai shook her head.
"Sorry… I'm busy" said Mai, reminding them "My sister's been kidnapped… and i'm not going anywhere till i find her"
Azula seemed a little taken aback
"Well well… you do have a heart" said Azula
Mai looked over, her normal scowl returned, as her eyes bore into Azula for the comment. At that moment, the senbon Mai threw burst into a small flame.
Iroh reach up and pulled it out of the wall to prevent a fire, then looked at it.
"This weapon… I've never see something like this, nor like it" said Iroh, referring to its look… and its ability
"It's something from the era of ninja… as for the metal, its something the miners found in the mountain" said Mai "It conducts the element we bend and… well, fire weapons for fire benders"
Azula blinked
"But… your not a fire bender" said Azula
"I was… i just couldn't produce a flame" said Mai, exhales a small flame "Until I started training harder"
Tanya cleared her throat, getting them to look back over.
"So… your not coming with us" said Tanya
"Sorry… my sister is important to me" said Mai "Once she's safe… i'd gladly join"
At that moment the Mai's parents came in… Rarity being a little calmer since then, her eyes slightly red, and not from just crying, as a smile came to her face. Mai slight smile came to her face… knowing why she was so happy at this moment, a little special herb. Her father talked up to Azula and bowed slightly.
"My apologies for not coming sooner… my daughter" started the governor
"Mai has informed us… she was kidnapped" said Azula "We will offer our aid… as we need Mai's aid in the future"
"I thank you, but that won't be necessary" said the governor "We plan to trade a trade with the resistance at noon"
"Not to be rude, what did you expect just letting them leave" said Azula
"But they had Pentapox… its deadly" said the governor
"Pentapox?" said Yachiru "That's not deadly… it's just a mild skin irritation Earth Kingdom kids get when there young"
The governor looked over, flinching at the site of the renown nurse of cruelty.
"But what if an adult gets it" stated the governor
Yachiru went to talk… but stopped, her rubbed her chin.
"Hmm… i don't know" said Yachiru
"We didn't want our daughter getting sick, let alone anyone else" said the governor.
"I see" said Azula, pointing at him "Nothing personal… but we'll handle it, you just… stay out of the way" She turned to Mai, letting her know she was coming with her, then to Ty Lee, then to Tanya "Will you assist in the trade"
Tanya let out a upset sigh, if Mai is a good as she claims… it'll be worth it in the end, it better be.
"Let's get this over with and get back to hunting down the Avatar" said Tanya
=== Negotiation Site ===
Atop a scaffolding were a statue of some sort was under construction stood both groups… on one side was Azula, Ty Lee, Mai and Tanya.
On the other side was Sokka, Katara, Aang, and under the cover of a hood was Ai. Katara holding the baby, bouncing her slightly as she was crying, from the fear of heights
"Who's bright idea was it to have the trade here?" said Katara
Mai just blinked, she sighed
"My father's not the brightest of men" said Mai, seeing that her sister seem to be well cared for.
She turned to Azula, who nodded… she snapped her fingers as a crane lowered a metal coffin. Inside snorting and laughing as he was lower was Aang friend… who looked like he had better days with a face like his.
"Bumi" yelled Aang
"You" said Bumi, then he blink "Do I know you?"
Aang felt dejected… but knew it was a stretch Bumi recognizing him. Mai looked over at Katara, at Himawari.
"If one hair on her head was harmed" treated Mai
"We might be enemies in this war, but we have morals and boundary" said Katara "She's been well fed and cared for."
Mai nodded, but her hand was itching to her weapon… Azula could feel it. Tanya stepped forward, narrowing her eyes slightly at Katara. She looks familiar… but where. Oh who cares… so water tribe peasant was nothing to her.
"Send over the child, then we'll free the king" said Tanya
"No, you free the king, then we give you the baby" said Sokka "The king is the more valuable"
Tanya frowned slightly… she didn't want to give them the king, she was gonna betray them the moment the child was safe. She looked over at Mai, who then looked at her… her eyes narrowed as she could tell what Tanya was thinking.
Tanya growled slightly… sentimental towards another human being, what weakness.
"We are at an impasse" said Tanya "Even you can see it's not a fair trade"
"I can… and don't care" snapped Mai, nearly yelling "If it gets my sister back… so be it"
Ai watched this from under her cloak, smiling that Mai is going to such lengths to save the child. Soon laughter was heard as Bumi snorted.
"If it's all the same to you… just give them the child, i don't need rescuing" said Bumi
W-What?" cried Aang
Bumi snorted and laughed
"I'm practicing my jin" said Bumi "I'll escape when the time is right"
"Your in a metal coffin, always under heavy surveillance, in a metal room… I highly doubt that" said Mai
"Then it looks like you have nothing to fear" said Bumi
Mai looked back at the gang… seeing them looking at each other, speaking amongst themselves. Aang being the most vocal about it, saying it's not fair… they were gonna give the kid back, so why were they not gonna get Bumi.
That argument was ended when Ai kicked Aang off the scaffolding to the ground, that got a smile to Mai… and Tanya seeing that also smiled, it was funny. Ai reached out and took Himawari from Katara, she letting out a small cry and being pulled away from the chocolate skinned lady.
Ai turned her towards fire nation group and pointed at Mai… the moment she looked over her tears stopped, and she started to reach out at Mai, wanting her. Ai started to walk over to Mai, who also started… both meeting in the middle.
Ai passed Himawari off to Mai, who took her and shielded her, giving Ai one last glare. Ai put up her hands, softly nodded and started to back away. Mai then hugged Himawari, getting her to giggle at her sister affection.
"Come on Himawari" said Mai "Lets get you home"
The moment Ai heard that name, her heart stopped… and a single tear went down her cheek. Mai looked back on last time, and scoffed.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew past… in her moment of remembrance Ai was catch off guard. The blew the hood back… revealing herself.
"YOU!" growled Mai
"THE AVATAR" yelled Tanya
Mai looked back at Tanya as she ran past, Ai and the other retreating
"She's the Avatar?" asked Mai
"YES" yelled Tanya, unleashing lightning toward them
Mai quickly put her hand up in a hand-sign. As Azula and Ty Lee were passing
"Shadow Clone Jutsu" said Mai
In an instance a clone appeared by Mai, getting the two to stop in awe… the clone took Himawari and took off towards home. Mai rush forward, and followed Tanya, passing the other as they also followed.
As order, the group got as far away from Ai as they could… no being anywhere near the level needed to fight Tanya, or this Mai.
Mai threw a hand full of shurikens, they flew around Tanya, and towards Ai. The moment Ai landed on the ground she ran away from the group, and the resistance.
Mai throw a kunai, hitting the shirken towards Ai… grazing her, burning her. At that moment a wall of flames came towards her. Ai turned around and slammed her hands together, her cheek expanded and a stream of water shot out.
The water and fire collided and created a cloud of steam, blocking the view of Tanya. In that moment, Mai had gotten above and behind Ai… flanking her as she threw kunai at her. Ai spun around and blocked the attack… hitting it to side.
Its glow fading, Ai's eye flicked to it
'Chakra Metal… great, as if I did have enough problems fighting her' thought Ai
The sound of chirping catch Ai's attention, she spun around to see Tanya at point blank range with a charged Chidori. She thrust her palm forward… striking Ai… only for a log to appear.
"Damn it all with that trick" yelled Tanya
"She's gone that way" yelled Mai, running after her
Tanya followed suit, with Azula and Ty Lee still tailing behind. Ai ran through the city… 4 enemies on her tail… 1 Anbu, 1 Jonin, 2 unknown. Ai was brought out of her thoughts when a massive shuriken flew past her, and curved back in her direction.
'Make that 2 Anbu' thought Ai, turning her head to the side.
As it passed her, she felt a pull… now realizing the shuriken was attached to a wire. Mai gripped the ninja wire, sending a small flame down its length. Ai screamed as the wire burned her she reached up to pull it away… then saw the spark of black lightning in it.
Tanya had grabbed the wire, after seeing what it could do… she knew it would be key to defeating her. Ai howled in pain as lightning coursed over her.
"Circle her" barked Tanya
Ai broke free from the wire as Azula and Ty Lee now blocked her current path on the road, she looked back at Tanya and Mai had the high ground. Ai grit her teeth, her eyes shifting back to them all.
Azula smirked
"This is the Avatar? I thought she was stronger than this" said Azula
"Don't underestimate her" barked Tanya, swinging her hand to the side "Did you forget about that pillar of light we saw"
Ai's eyes flicked over… they must be talking about when she went four tails. Mai seemed to have frozen at hearing that.
"Wait… you mean when the sky turned that blood red, that was her" said Mai, pointing at Ai
"We aren't fully aware if it was… but I had fought her when while she used a similar technique" said Tanya, keeping her eyes on Ai, whom was flicking between them once more "So it's not that far of a stretch"
And then it happened, out of the corner of Ai's eye, she saw Ty Lee take a fearful step back from remembering how terrifying that site was. Ai summoned her chakra, focusing it thought her body… sending a rush of chakra.
'Gate of Opening: OPEN' thought Ai
The sudden flex in power got the other ready, but Ai was already making her move… a mad spirit towards Ty Lee. Ty Lee, still in fear was hit with a genjutsu… making her see a raging Ai in her 4 tail state.
And like that Ty Lee froze in fear as Ai rushed as Azula rushed up, Ai spun on her foot and thrusted her palm forward.
"Wind Style: Gale Palm Strike" said Ai
A blast of air shot out, blasting both girls back and upward, colliding with Tanya and Mai as they made there way over, sending them a distance away. With danger gone, but with possibility of returning… Ai made her escape.
With plan on increasing training… 10 fold.
