In the prison:
Zuko and Aang let off running. If either had obtained injuries they sure weren't showing it. The path to the tower was nearly un guarded and it seemed at though Zuko's plan would go off without a hitch.
When they reached the tower there were about six fire benders on guard. Zuko and Aang ran to the scene and without hesitation, took a fighting stance. Six fireballs shot at the boys but Zuko easily shielded them. Most went onto Aang and Zuko jumped to the room within minutes returning, tossing Aang his staff as he pulled his own Dao swords.
The fight was simple truthfully, basic guards on the avatar and his fire bending teacher. After only a few moments they were all down. Everything remained as planned. Zuko led Aang down numerous corridors only having to fight small groups or single guards.
In the execution chamber:
News quickly reached that the two had escaped and Ozai and Azula were infuriated. They had simply planned on torturing and eventually killing the two and decided on taking matters into their own hands. Without a second thought those two as well as numerous guards and soldiers ran out to the main hall.
Escaping without a fight was out of the question.
In the airship:
Sokka led in the group of warriors and benders. The pace was strong and they remained unnoticed. They quietly slipped into the perimeter to meet about a dozen guards.
"You guys go on." Chit Sang called sending a wave of fire at the group. "I'll catch up."
Sokka nodded as his father, Toph, Haru, and him quickly exited the area running at top speed through the winds of the prison.
In the halls:
Zuko and Aang turned the hall but this time it wasn't the best move. With a sinister smile Ozai and Azula turned to them, about twenty others ready to fight. Aang glanced worriedly at Zuko.
"Go" Zuko said.
"What?!? No way am i gonna..." Aang exclaimed to be cut off
"Aang you heard me the first time. Get out of here now." Zuko's voice was a command, his voice firm though his heart was racing. Aang bit his lip but did as he was told and Ozai faced Zuko.
"That was a brave move letting the avatar go, though very stupid on your part." Ozai's voice was a taunting coo.
Zuko scowled under his breath but shot forward ready with fire daggers. Shocked, Ozai barely dodged, but managed to send sweeping flames causing Zuko to stagger. Ozai grabbed, locking his son against the wall, watching him struggle to breath with enjoyment. Zuko clenched his fist as his body tightened and he shot out a powerful kick, knocking Ozai down. In a split second the takedown was reversed but the fight long from over.
In another hall:
At a split in the halls Sokka and Hakoda went right while Toph and Haru went left. Toph had been quiet the whole plan so far up until now.
"Guards! Lots of them! And they're coming fast!" Toph's warning was met with a fireball. She began manipulating the metal and Haru ran on.
Haru cursed at himself for being completely lost as he turned another corner. They all had been empty so far and he surely hadn't been expecting to see the fire lord, princess, and army. His brain couldn't register anything as it happened until he realized who the fight was around. Zuko.
Haru shot forward a boulder at the fire lord causing him to drop his weapon and turn. Zuko got up and took stance near Haru, flashing the earth bender a thankful look. It was then that Haru realized how long the fight had been going on before.
By the main gate:
Aang finally stopped running, guilt overflowing his senses. He was inches away from freedom, being that the guards were all gone but he couldn't leave. Just as Aang turned around a familiar voice called him.
"Chit Sang?" Aang questioned, puzzled and exited by the older fire benders. "How are you here?" he asked one of his many questions.
"Your friend planned a rescue mission. Some of the others are here to. We got slip up a while back though." as Chit Sang explained Aang began to feel relieved. As he un-tensed pain overtook him. He had completely forgotten that his leg was slashed in one of the earlier minor battles. Aang immediately felt woozy, his vision and balance diminishing. He last remembered Chit sang calling his name before he collapsed.
Sorry this chapter took longer than expected. There will be somewhere between 2-5 more depending on the legnth. Please review and keep in mind what i said in the begining.
