This is like the fourth one i've updated today, YAY!

Everyone returned later that night, All except Long Feng. Ray was held by two guards on the left side of the throne facing her friends. Aang looked to where Ray was standing and gave her a slight smile. She returned it.

"I thank you young heros for opening up my eyes. All this time what I thought was a city of metropolis was really a city of fools. And that makes me, the King fool. We're at war, with the Fire Nation."

"That's why we came to Ba Sing Se your highness. Because we think you can help us end the war." Sokka said stepping away from the rest of the group.

"We don't have much time." Aang said. "There's a comet coming this summer. It's energy gives fire benders unbelievable strength. They will be unstoppable."

"But there is hope. Before the comet comes, there is a window of opportunity. A solar eclipse is coming. The sun will be entirely blocked out by the moon and the fire benders will be helpless."

"What are you suggesting Sokka?" The earth king asked

"That's the day we need to envayed the Fire Nation." Sokka said

"The day of black sun." he and Ray said in unison. Only ray whispered

"I don't know. That would require moving troops out of Ba Sing Se. We would be completely vulnerable." The earth king said

"You already are vulnerable. The Fire Nation won't stop until Ba Sing Se falls. So you can either sit back and while it happens, or you take the offensive and give yourself a fighting chance." Sokka said. Aang, Katara, and Toph looked so hopeful

"Very well, you have my support." The Earth king replied. They all cheered

"Your majesty, I apologize for the interruption." said a guy walking in and bowing

"This is General Howe." The Earth King said. He's the leader of the council of 5, the highest ranking of generals I have."

"We searched Long Toph office. I think we found something that will interest everybody." Howe said.

Ray watched as everyone was lead to a different room. 'I have to escape, and soon.' she thought.

The guards started to lead her away from the throne room with her on a chain on either arm, one guard holding one. She took a deep breath as they walked past the doors.

Once outside of it, she sprang backwards, doing a flip so that the guards were now in front of her looking confused. She kicked her leg out and underneath the guard that was on her left side. He fell to the ground unconscious. The other Di Lee recovered and was about to shoot his hands at her when she did a round kick to the side of his face, her foot moving his face to the ground.

Ray found the hey and unlocked her hands. "Foolish." she thought and ran down the halls. She managed to get out without getting caught. She noticed that the stares were fixed. She looked to the sides where it was slanted. Ray jumped on it and slid down to the base of the staircase, where she hightailed it out of there.

Unknown to her, a guard rushed in and told her brother and friends that she escaped the palace.

She ran, for a long time. To the point where she was breathing heavily and every muscle ached. Finally she stopped. Her legs gave out and she fell to the ground.

Ray looked around and noticed that she ran through both Middle and Lower rings. She noticed that the path she was on was the one that lead her to the Tea House she worked at with Zuko.

Slowly, she rose and started to walk.

Once at the Tea Shop that was still open, but that's when she noticed that Zuko and Iroh weren't there.

She walked in and found the server.

"Feng, do you know what happened to the other servers?" she asked

"Ah yes, they got their own tea shop and left me." he sneered.

"Ok, thank you. Where is there new Tea shop?"

He was mumbling things as he grabbed a piece of paper and hastily wrote down his address.

"Thank you so much!" Ray said as she gave him a few coins and raced away.

"The middle ring huh?" She thought.

She found their new address. It was closed for the night.

She peeked through the windows and saw the lights off. She looked up and saw that there were lights on upstairs. She looked around for anyway to get up. Finally, she found a pole on the side of the house. "Ok, this should work. Thank god for all of the time I spent climbing."

Ray grabbed a hold and slowly pulled herself off of the ground. She then started to climb at a rapid speed. She finally got to a window on the second floor and grabbed the sill.

Looking through it, she saw that Zuko was in a terrible state and Iroh was trying to heal him. He had put a wet rag on Zuko's forehead. When he agave Zuko the ladle to drink, he grabbed the whole bucket. When the bucket was empty, Zuko threw it at the window Ray was peaking in.

She quickly ducked and then grabbed the pole again. Ray slid down it just as easily as she climbed it.

"Well, there is no where to go, so I guess i'll just stay here. In the ally, for the night. What could go wrong." she said the last part sarcastically.

She sat against the wall of her friends new tea shop and slowly fell asleep. She woke up to the rising of the sun.

Ray stood up and stretched. She than looked through the window and saw Iroh looking her way. She started to panic. Without thinking, she raced away.

"What am I doing? I shouldn't be afraid. Maybe it's just the whole half brother thing and me running away. I shouldn't be afraid of Iroh, or Zuko. Gosh, your such and idiot!" she was talking to herself now, to afraid to tell someone.

She stopped running about a block later. Ray was taking big breaths to calm her nerves. She was walking when a carriage drove past her. The men inside looked familiar. That's when Ray heard banging in the metal box that was being carried. "That voice, it's ...it's, It's Toph!" She started to run to the carriage, which was now parked

"Toph! Toph can you here me? What's going on, why are you in there?"

"Ray, is that you?"

"Ya, what are they doing to you?"

"Bringing me home, I ran away." she said as dread filled her voice. "But I won't let that happen." and as she said that, the carriage pulled forward.

Ray ran after her. "I'm sorry, Toph. I had to leave. My brother isn't the nice person that he seems to be. Trust me when I say that."

"I do. I'll get out of here and I will find you. Stay safe." Toph said as Ray couldn't keep up anymore.

"I will." she said before she stopped running. Toph could hear her stop.

Dun dun duuuuuuunnnnnnnnn! How is it so far? Tell me!
