The Army

Third chapter. Sorry that it always takes so long to update, but I'm at school in Tech Ed., so yeah. Please review!

As the Fire Nation army came to a stop by a marsh, Ty Lee and Mai running off to search the area and came back not empty handed. Two Earth kingdom soldiers were dragged out of a tree and thrown before Azula.
"Earth Kingdom Scouts." Ty Lee giggled. "And cute ones too."
"Azula!" The earth kingdom soldier gasped, ignoring Ty lee's overall flirtatiousness
"Nice work, gentlemen. You've found the Fire army." Azula smiled evilly.
All the fire nation solders laughed at the young earth kingdom recruits.
The older boy, the braver of the two, spoke against her. "The Earth King will stop you."
Azula stared at the boy at her feet, and scoffed. "Stop me! He invited me. By building his wall, he challenged my strength. Well, I'm here to play his game." She picked up the boy by his uniform collar and threw him towards the path. "Go! Tell your King to send his strongest armies. I'm ready."
Frightened, they both ran off towards the capital city, not turning back, while Azula pondered thoughtfully. "How many men does it take to deliver a message?"
"One," Mai sighed boredly at the far off earth kingdom troops, hurling the shuriken and watching one fall.
"Okay. Okay, how about this." Katara spoke deeply, trying to imitate a man's voice. "Excuse me, where do I sign in? Ah, I see you have a sword. I have one, too. They're very manly, and tough." She fumbled with the sword, dropping it on the ground. Appa stared at her for a moment, and rolled on the forest floor with laughter. Katara frowned and hurled her shoe at him. "I'm working on it! Oh, who am I fooling. It'd take a miracle to get me into the army."
Hiding behind a boulder, Lung took this as a cue. Covered in smoke, and surrounded by fire, all Katara could see was his giant shadow. "Did I hear someone ask for a miracle! Lemme hear ya say, "Aaah!""
She turned around and screamed at his enormous shadow. "Aughhh!"
"That's close enough!" It grinned at Katara's hidden form.
"A spirit!" she gasped, hiding behind another nearby boulder.
"Get ready, Katara, your seventeen halation is at hand, for I have been sent by your ancestors to guide you through your masquerade!" In the mean time, Momo churred as he made dragon shadows with his paws, and Lung noticed and kicked him, breaking the moment of awe. "C'mon, you're gonna stay, you're gonna work." He turned his attention to Katara yet again. "So heed my words, cause if the army finds out you're a girl, the penalty is death."
"Who are you?"
Lung scoffed."Who am I? WHO am I? I am the guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Lung." He smiiled, walking from behind the rock.
Katara stared at the tiny dragon for a moment in disbelief. This was a spirit?
"Ah, I'm pretty hot, huh?" the tiny dragon smirked, then Appa immediately smashed him with his tail. Slightly injured but okay, Lung blew smoke at the giant bison.
Katara stared skeptically at him. "My ancestors sent a baby cat-gator to help me?"
Lung stared, offended, at her. "Hey, dragon, dragon. D-R-A-G-O-N. Say it right next time."
"You're ... um ... "
"Intimidating? All inspiring?" Lung asked enthusiastically.
"Tiny!" she admitted.
"Hey! If I could guide Avatar Roku, I can guard you. But of course! I am travel-sized, for your convenience. If I was my REAL size, your cow here would die of fright" Lung smiled, patting Appa on the head from Katara's shoulder while Appa tried to chomp him. "DOWN, Bessy. My powers are beyond your mortal imagination. For instance, my eyes can see straight through your armor." Surprised, Katara slapped the little dragon off her shoulder. "Alright! That's it! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Make a note of this. Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow, dis-"
"Stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm just nervous. I've never done this before." Katara apologized.
"Then you're gonna have to trust me. And don't you slap me no more. You clear on that?" Katara nodded quickly. "Alright. Okey-dokey! Let's get this show on the road! Momo, get the bags!"
"Momo?" Katara blinked skeptically at her pet as they walked to the camp.
At the Gao-Ling Camp
"Okay, this is it! Time to show them your man-walk. Shoulders back, chest high, feet apart, head up, and strut! Two three, break that bone, two, three, and work it!" Lung instructed fool heartedly.
The camp was disgusting. They passed men trimming their toenails and picking their noses much to Katara's disgust as Lung tried to talk her through it. " Beautiful, isn't it."
Katara nearly gagged. "They're disgusting."
"No, they're men" Lung frowned. "And you're gonna have to act just like them, so pay attention."
A little up ahead, she saw Aang, her old friend, showing off his arrow tatoos. "Look! These tattoos will protect me from harm!"
"Hmmm ..." Zuko stood thoughtfully, then punched the young avatar.
Sokka keeled over, laughing at Aang jokingly. "I hope you can get your money back!"
"I don't think I can do this ..." Katara sighed. "I know all of these people!"
"It's all attitude! Be tough, like this guy here!" Lung pointed at Zuko.
The banished prince frowned at her. " What are you looking at?"
"Punch him. It's how men say hello." Katara punches Zuko; he slams into Aang.
"Oh, Zuko! You've made a friend." Aang smiled, already forgetting Zuko's hostility toward's him only moments before.
"Good." Lung smiled approvingly.
Naturally, Zuko was still angry, flame gathering in his hand. " I'm gonna hit you so hard, it'll make your ancestors dizzy."
"Zuko, relax. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it." Aang nodded, using his peace making skills.
"Errrrrgh ..." Zuko grumbled, walking away.
"Nrrgh. Ah, you ain't worth my time."
"Ain't worth your time!? Say that to my face!" Lung shouted, obviously insulted.
"Rrraaaaghhh!" Zuko grabbed Katara by the collar and punched; she ducked and he punches Sokka in the face, who unfortunetly was standing behind her. "Oh, sorry Sokka. Hey!" Reached down to catch Katara from crawling away, while Sokka kicks him into Aang, then attacks with a flying side kick. They start fighting, with Aang swiping to get them off. Katara used the distraction and scrambled away
Sokka noticed. "Hey! There he goes!" They chased Katara through a tent, and the Gang of Three stop abruptly at the end of the food line. Aang knocks everyone over, like dominoes, and finally the pot overturns. Everyone gets up and advances on Katara.
"Hey, guys ..." Katara laughed weakly as they all walked toward her.
Inside the Captain's Tent
Tyro stood next to a battle plan of Ba Sing Se. "The Fire Nation have struck here, here, and here. I will take the main troops up to the Serpent's Pass and stop Azula before she destroys this village."
"Excellent strategy, sir! I do love surprises." Tong nodded approvingly.
Tyro turned to his son. "You will stay and train the new recruits. When Tong believes you're ready, you will join us ... Captain."
"Captain?" Haru repeated, surprised.
Tong gaped at the general in disbelief. "Oh! This is an enormous responsibility, General! Perhaps a soldier with more experience?"
"Number one in his class, extensive knowledge of training techniques ... an impressive military linuage." Tyro shrugged. "...I believe Haru will do an excellent job."
"Oh I will! I won't let you down! This is... I mean... Yes sir." Haru stuttered.
Tyro nodded at his son. "Very good, then. We'll toast Earth Kingdom's victory at Ba Sing Se. I'll expect a full report in three weeks."
Tong sniffed. "And believe me, I won't leave anything out."

Yep, another chapter. Alright, I'll update soon!
