Ex-v: By request, this chapter will be more fluffy than the last one was, but just in case, there'll be some action in it too. Enjoy!!

Suddenly, Toph motioned everybody to be still. Placing her hand sensitively on the ground, she felt for vibrations.

"Guys!! Ambush!" She whispered hurriedly. "Four rhinos, four riders. Probably firenation."

Just as she finished the sentence, four massive firenation beasts roared, crashing through the trees and surrounding the group.

"Do not move. Hand over the Avatar." One said calmly.

"No." Katara replied firmly.

"We will take him by force if we have to." The leader said, obviously becoming impatient.

"These guys mean business. I'll atke em while you guys get Aang to safety. I'll catch up soon." Sorin volunteered, jumping to his feet.

"But" "Go!!"

Toph nodded and turned, following the others out.

"We will not let you get away." The leader raised his fist and shot a fire blast at the retreating group, which just barely missed scorching them black.

Sorin leaped up high into the air, fire swirling around him as he backflipped and knocked one rider off his mount with a whip of flame. Landing evenly in the saddle, he directed the beast to ram head on into it's comrade, which it did.

At the last second, Sorin leaped from the saddle, and, soaring through the air, sliced the rider in his way apart with fiery claws.

Rolling over the beast, he crashed unevenly into the ground. Leaping away just in time to avoid three flaming arrows, Sorin responded by blasting the attacker in the chest with a fireball launched from his fist.

Jumping up as soon as he regained his balance, he jumped up onto the leader's rhino, right behind him. Dodging the hasty attempts to fry him with firebending, Sorin calmly threw him from his steed and slammed a fireball into his heavily guarded face on the way down.

Fire swirling around him, he blasted a few explosives he heard coming his way with a stream of fire, before assaulting the attacker in the same way.

Sorin nodded to himself as he tied the unconscious men together. It had taken him littler time than he thought it would have.

Immediately, he leaped p onto one of the rhino's and took off after his friends.

Later

"There you are!" Sorin cried out happily after looking for his friends for quite some time.

"What took you so long?"

"Finding you."

"Oh…."

"Hey, were are Aang and Katara?"

"Were do you think?"

"…….."

"Oh, there you are! High time you guys finish your lesson, by the way." They heard Sokka say.

"Aang's only just recovering from a lightning bolt to the chest. It isn't a good time to begin a new training session." Katara input, walking out of Aang's tent.

"Yeah, I'm sure you were doing a great job of helping him recover in there…" Sokka said suspiciously, his voice trailing off.

When he realized that Sorin and Toph were still looking at him, he waved them off. "Go on!! Go make out or something…away from here." Sokka shooed them away.

Sorin and Toph looked at each other for a second, then shrugged and walked away towards their tent.

Ex-v: There!! I hope that was a nice mixture of action and fluff. If nobody minds, I'm gonna turn up the fluff rating a little.
