In the prison:
Strangely enough everything was normal again the next day. Zuko seemed to forget anything bothering him from the other day. The only thing oddly different was that Azula didn't come down that morning. Normally it would be a good thing but to the two, it could have meant allot worse was coming.
"I say we take this time to plan. You have to get out of here." Zuko said
"Planning is good but what do you mean me?" Aang asked.
"Your the avatar. If I stayed a week more it wouldn't make much a difference. We need to leave today." Zuko said
"So what's the plan?" Aang asked a bit more nervously then last time.
"I say tonight when the door opens for a guard to give us food we pin him and run. We get our stuff from the guard tower and go out that way. Hopefully there will be enough commotion for that part to go unnoticed." Zuko whispered drawing his best guess of the prison blueprints on the floor with his finger. Aang looked down with worry but nodded. They'd make it. They had to make it.
In the airship:
"How are we going to infiltrate the prison?" Hakoda asked.
"I really was winging it again since last time it worked out so well." Sokka said
"But this time you don't know what prison there in, how to get in or out, and you don't have Zuko to save your ass" Toph commented.
"She has a point' Chit Sang said.
"Why'd you want to come? You just got out of prison." Sokka asked.
'I owed you guys, as I said, and I mean what is there to loose. Its war." Chit Sang replied calmly.
"I'm kind of worried about this though. That the thing. We don't even know where we're going!" Haru said
"Aw and I thought you were somewhat tough" Toph punched his arm
"Toph I know your trying to take over MY mission and all but please, if you kill them now they wont fight with us" Sokka instructed receiving hard stares. "That came out wrong but your get it" Toph nodded.
Back in the prison:
The cell door slammed opened. "Fire lord Ozai has requested presence with you" the guard said.
"Ozai's already here!" Aang exclaimed. Zuko rose.
"Prince Zuko?" the guard kneeled.
"Excuse me" Zuko asked estranged to the guard's behavior.
"Pardon me. I was a member of the forty-first division. I heard about your banishment. It's a great honor." he said. "To you I'm in debt to tell you that your father has requested your execution. If there is anything I can do to help.."
"Thank you. But I don't want to endanger you." Zuko charred the floor. "Pretend there was a struggle."
Back to the airship:
"Is that it?" Sokka asked, gesturing to the large metal structure under them.
"Ya, that's it." Chit Sang warily replied.
"So how are we going to do this?" Haru asked.
"Well if we can get in unseen we can disguise like last time. Toph, Chit Sang, and dad, you'll probably have to worst luck since your all wanted criminals. Well I kind of am too. But I know last time that was our downfall." Sokka informed.
"Ready?" Haru asked. "Once we pass the gate there's no turning back." Everyone nodded.
A fireball shot at them. Unseen wasn't an option anymore.
Sorry . This chapter took a while to get out. Also I know some of you might think the next chapter is the escape and thats it. Well your wrong. Any of you who read my work know nothing is easy and painless. Especially in this.
So warning: the next chapter contains extream action and brutal injury. do not try stunts (or bending) at home.
