Back at the Western Air Temple base camp, Sokka wanted to tell Zuko about where his father went after the invasion plan failed. Sam wanted in.
"So, do you know where the invasion forces went after they were defeated at Black Sun?" Sokka wanted to know where the Fire Nation was keeping Hakoda.
"He's probably at the Boiling rock, the most unescapable prison in the Fire Nation." Zuko confirmed. "It's home to the Fire Nation's most dangerous criminals, including some of the most dangerous gangs in the Fire Nation, like the Red Dragon Gang, the Akai Bara Gang, and the Prunus Mume Gang."
"I bet PRISM is going to be there too." Sam mentioned.
"Wait a minute, Prism?" Sokka wondered what Sam was talking about.
"PRISM started out as a clothing corporation in the 80s in Los Angeles where I am from, but after the riots in 92, they expanded to private security, weapons, and research and development. They basically became a private military contractor at this point."
"No worries, we'll take my war balloon." Sam called on her phone to request vehicle delivery. She selected the HAUT (Hovering Artillery Utility Transport) from her phone. The HAUT, a magenta- colored flying gunship showed up. Zuko, Sokka and Sam got in the gunship and headed for the Boiling Rock.
When they arrived at the Boiling Rock, Sam re-routed it back to WHOOP Base.
"What did you do that for?" Sokka was wondering why Sam re-routed it away.
"So that they don't find out about us, duh." Sam was smart to clear the evidence.
Inside the prison, Sam, Sokka, and Zuko were disguised as guards. A guard warned them about a gang fight.
"Guards, come quick, the Prunus Mume Gang is fighting the Akai Bara Gang!" Sam, Sokka and Zuko went to investigate. The Prunus Mume, seen with ponytails and purple hair streaks dyed with natural elements were up against Akai Bara, seen with wolf tails and red hair streaks dyed with natural elements. They were fighting each other, punching and kicking each other. A large inmate with a big chin was amongst the Akai Bara, shooting fire at both sides, calling them to stop.
"ENOUGH!" Chit Sang yelled. "No more fighting, we're in this together!" The guard captain slapped him with a fire whip.
"Hey, no Firebending allowed!" The guard captain wrapped up Chit Sang with his fire whip. "You there, Guard woman, help me escort this prisoner to the Cooler." Sam went with the guard captain to lock him up in the Cooler.
"Feel like Firebending?" Sam taunted Chit Sang when he was shivering. "I didn't think so."
"Don't hurt me." Sam lifted her helmet to reveal her identity.
"Hi, I am Sam. I am from a faraway land called Beverly Hills, but that's not important now. "What's important is helping you escape." Sam went to the guard lounge to hatch a plan.
"Welcome to the Guard Lounge, woman!" Mai announced. "I am Mai, the Warden's niece, so don't get on my bad side." Mai's dark vibe caught Sam's attention.
"You wear an awful lot of black." Sam pointed to Mai's black and red outfit. "Ever consider wearing brighter colors?"
"Don't tell me how to dress, especially since you know my position." Mai was serious. "One more step out of line and I will throw you in prison for contempt."
"Ok, sorry!" Sam was frightened. "Black is the new black…I guess."
"Exactly. Thank you for your loyalty, Fire Guard." Sam left the guard lounge to regroup with Sokka and Zuko to find Sokka's dad. They didn't find him, but they found Suki. She caught Sokka's attention.
"Prisoners, back in your cells!" The Bully Guard snapped. The prisoners went back to their cells, which bought Sokka enough time to chat with Suki. Sam and Zuko came with her. Sokka came into Suki's cell with Zuko and Sam.
"Who are you people?" Suki did a combat pose.
"It's me, Sokka!" Sokka took off his helmet. "This is my friend Zuko, and this is my new friend Sam."
"Zuko is your friend?" Suki was shocked. "How did that happen?"
"Long story that involves a wonderful redemption arc." Sokka narrowed it down for Suki.
"Hi, I am Sam. You may not remember me, because I just got here, this world is unfamiliar to me."
"Well, we've got a plan." Zuko gathered everyone. "Sam, what do you do?" Sam reached into her gadget purse and pulled out a drill nail file.
"Perfect." Sokka thought it could come in handy. "We go to Chit Sang's cell and drill his way out of the prison, dig a tunnel underground to the outside. There, Sam calls one of her machines and we fly away."
"But what if the warden finds out?" Suki asked.
"We frame him." Sam had the perfect idea.
"How are we going to do that?" Zuko asked. "I do know that Coral Sand is illegal in the Fire Nation, so we take a packet of coral sand from a prisoner and plant it on his desk. When he is found with it, he will be imprisoned in his own jail."
"Sounds like a good plan." The guards were having a conversation across the hallway.
"Who do you expect to arrive soon?" A guard asked.
"Nothing special, just robbers, gang members, traitors, war prisoners, and maybe a pirate."
"Just the usual, huh?" Another guard assumed. Sokka overheard them saying war prisoners would be delivered, so he, Zuko and Sam headed for the gondola.
At the gondola, the war prisoners got off, including Hakoda.
"Dad, you're here!" Sokka hugged his father.
"Sokka, it's so good to see you." Sokka was proud to see Hakoda. "Who's this lady here?" Hakoda wanted to know where Sam came from, since he had never seen her before.
"That's my friend Sam, she's from Beverly Hills." Sokka explained.
"Beverly Hills, that sounds like a town in the Earth Kingdom." Hakoda assumed. "We got two Water Tribe geniuses and one Earth Kingdom genius, so nothing's holding us back."
"Hey, you, get to the lineup!" The Bully guard yelled. Sam handed Zuko her drill nail filing tool, while Sam went to search the cells for Coral Sand.
"Where could I find some coral sand?" She walked through the cell block and found one of the Akai Baras snorting some pink Coral Sand. Sam yanked it from the guy.
"I'll take that!" She snatched it from the prisoner and headed for the Warden's office. When she arrived, she planted the Coral Sand on the Warden's desk and ran away.
On her airship, Azula landed in the prison with Ty Lee.
"We're here, Ty Lee." Azula told her best friend. "Let's pay Mai's uncle a visit and see how he's doing." Azula headed to the warden's office and found Coral Sand on his desk. She began to alert the guards.
"Attention all Guards, this is your Princess, Azula. The warden is in possession of illegal drugs! Find him and arrest him!" The Warden's own guards turned against him, in hot pursuit of him, when he was running away. The Bully Guard tackled the Warden.
"You're under arrest, warden!" The Bully Guard snapped.
"You can't!" The warden was defenseless.
"Too late." He removed the warden's crown and tied him with it. "I am the warden now." The former warden was locked in a cell, stripped of his finery and placed in a prison uniform.
Meanwhile, Zuko was digging a tunnel in Suki's cell, with Sokka and Sam following. Azula, Mai and Ty Lee followed Sam.
"After them!" The four heroes escaped through the tunnel while Azula, Mai and Ty Lee followed. In the tunnel they went through the sewers.
"Disgusting!" Sam shrieked. "No way am I going in the sewers again!"
"I guess we can relate." Mai told Sam. "I once had to go through a slurry pipeline, and I hated it!"
"Mai, after them, that's an order!" Azula told Mai to pursue Sokka and Zuko, but she refused.
"No." Sam and Mai fought Azula. Azula threw blue fire bolts at Sam, but she countered with her Water Perfume. She shot diamonds with the diamond launcher bracelet, while Mai threw her knives, pinning Azula to the wall. Azula broke free quickly. She shot lightning at Sam, but before she could, Ty Lee punched her. The lightning redirected and hit the wall.
"Azula, you miscalculated." Mai told Azula. "I love my new bestie more than I fear you."
"No, YOU MISCALCULATED!" Azula blared. "You should have feared me more!"
"Sorry, Azula, but your fangirls are now part of Team Sam." Sam blew a kiss to Azula, mocking her. "Let's go, ladies!" Sam led Mai and Ty Lee out of the sewers. When they exited the sewers, Jerry and WHOOP already had a plane outside. Everyone got on the plane and headed back to the Western Air Temple.
At the Western Air Temple, the plane landed with everyone getting out. Another plane landed at the same time, with Hakoda, Chit Sang, and some of the Akai Baras getting out.
"You must have been gone a long time." Alex told Sam.
"Did you find any meat?" Toph asked Sokka.
"Only the best meat of all, the meat of friendship and fatherhood!" Sokka told Toph.
"And fun and fashion!" Sam added. Sokka facepalmed.
"Check out my new friends!" Sam introduced Mai and Ty Lee to the group.
"What are you two ladies doing here?" Katara was about to bend water at them.
"It's ok, they're with us." Sam cleared up the misunderstanding. "They betrayed Azula." Everyone laughed.
"Seriously, you didn't get any meat?" Toph questioned.
Meanwhile, Eliseo met with Azula back at the prison. He was there with his PRISM goons and Azula was there with her Imperial Firebenders.
"Azula, let's make a deal." Eliseo proposed. "Since you no longer have your sidekicks with you, I will allow you to be the assistant CEO of PRISM and my representative on the board of directors."
"Ooh, I love your offer, but I don't want to be far away in a place where I cannot command my nation." Azula was hesitant.
"We already have everything under control after speaking with your father." Eliseo explained. "We hooked the Fire Nation up with ballistic missiles that are ready to impact the Earth Kingdom and end it. Soon all lands would be Fire Nation and Ozai will be the king of this world, and you will watch over the homeland, secured by PRISM."
"I like your vibe." Azula shook Eliseo's hand. "It's a deal!" With PRISM now pulling the strings of the Fire Nation royal family, things are getting pretty hairy for our heroes.
