Sorry but that's all for today. The next chapter will be longer than these lame two chapters, so look forward to that.


((Rebecca's P.O.V))

Everyone in the village was preparing for the battle at hand. Every warriors that had volunteered were lined up on the wall that blocked the outside world from the village. Aang, Brianna, and I stood center while riding on our animal partners, waiting for the moment to attack.

"Brianna, be prepared and stay with Nyoko" I told her below a whisper. "Your elements aren't going to be much help in this battle."

"I know," she said disappointed but had a determined look in her eyes. We waited until we spotted a single Fire Navy ship. I was aware more would be coming but was unable to predict the oncoming fire ball aiming toward us. The fire ball hit the side of the wall, sending most of the people flying backward.

"Gin," I shouted after we both made a quick recovery. I jumped onto him and we took off to the sky. A few moments later Aang and Appa joined us with Brianna and Nyoko following close behind. The navy ship didn't stop their fires and continued to catapult more flaming chunks at us and the village. Aang and I both used our staffs to shoot out air whips, sending the chunks into the ocean waters. Several managed to escape us and either hit inside the village or the wall.

"I'll take it from here," Aang shouted before dropping himself down to the navy ship. When I saw him open his glider I motioned Gin to move toward Appa.

"Stay with Aang," I instructed the bison and got a low growl in response. I looked down at Gin. "You lead Brianna and Nyoko to the next target ship" I told him "I'll attack from below." He nodded and dived to the ocean waters. As soon as my feet touched the water surface I ran past the ship Aang was taking down. Going past the ship I saw the army in the horizon but it was nothing like I expected. My pace slowed down as I stared at the crowd of ships. The whole sea was covered with them all evenly lined into columns and rows. I could see metal ships as far as the eye could see. I had never realized who intimating it was to look at. I could feel shivers running up my spine. Could we take them all down? My confidence was gone.

I regained my composer and began running at top speed again. When I saw that I was getting closer to the ships I returned my staff into my charm. I placed my hands down and began surrounding myself with water. When I approached a nearby ship I saw several fire benders approach the edge of their ships and began firing at me. I was able to dodge all their attacks due to their bad aim. Once I was a good range I pushed off the water sending myself flying to the ship. When I landed I used the remaining water to freeze everyone onboard. There I waited for Brianna, Nyoko, and Gin to come and destroy all the catapults on the ship. Once they arrived to the ship I dove back into the ocean to the next target. This time I was able to approach the ship without anyone noticing. When I got to the side of the ship I summoned back my staff and went to the surface. With both of my hands on the staff I began hitting the ship. I could hear people above searching for the source of the sound. I had almost gotten caught, but thankfully I managed to make a small crack before went back underwater. I then began pushing water into the crack. Slowly I manage to increase the size of the hole to the size of dime. I resurfaced and began hitting the hole until I got it to a fist size. My arms had gone numb and I was exhausted. I mentally noted to myself not to do this sort of thing again when dealing with more than one ship. It was realized something strange. No one had come to check up on the noise which was very odd since they had made such a big fuss over it before. It was then I saw one of the crew members thrown off the ship. I looked up and sure enough there I spotted Brianna on Nyoko's back as the cat pulled at chain attached to a catapult until it fell overboard. By then Gin had noticed me and had come to help me onto the ship. I landed on top of a man who was ready to strike Brianna from behind then froze her opponent's arm so she could hit him with her hook.

"Thanks," Brianna said turning toward me.

"Next ship," I said when I saw Gin push the last catapult off the ship. With a heavy sigh I turned to look at the enemy's army. Hope seemed so hard to cling to. "We've got a lot to cover."
