Akuanzaku did something he was not known to do under ANY circumstance, he let out a chuckle that, honestly, likely startled a great many of the prisoners held there. Whatever it was that he found so humorous, it was obvious from the direction in which he turned what the source of it was, as he turned his bright silver eyes onto the FORMER princess of the Fire Nation with a wide smile on his face that soon fell back into his usual emotionless expression. After a short time, he turned back to the younger general, the look in his eyes revealing some sort of devious intent.

"Well, if she is prone to complaining, why don't you shut her up?" He asked, before turning to Kihomi with his face once more an emotionless mask that was likely more terrifying than it would have been curled into an expression of anger. "You, soldier, prevent the prisoner from speaking," he said as he pulled a long piece of black cloth and a small cloth bag which, appeared to have been filled with cotton, and tossed them to her, "use those to do the job."

It wasn't entirely impossible for the Avatar to know at least the basics of fire bending. It may have been just a flicker of a flame she saw, but it wasn't out of the question for her to have seen anyone fire bending.

At the entrance of a new general, she stiffened her slowly slouching position. At the call of 'you, soldier!' Her sword found it's way to her left hand, as she gave a salute. "Yes sir."

She took the items she was presented with, bending at the knees to gently leave her blade on the ground, all the while never taking her eyes off the girl. She unlocked the gate, with a bit of confidence leaving it open behind her. Even if the Avatar tried something stupid and managed to harm her, she'd have two powerful fire benders to contend to.

"If you do not enjoy prison food, perhaps you'll enjoy the taste of cotton instead. Now open your trap." A forceful sound to her quiet whisper as she took an intimidating step forward.

[Hotaru987]

Izaria glared at the new General not liking his new idea one bit. No wonder he was her father's favortie. Both of them were crazy and crule people. When the lady, Izaria didn't find her important enough to learn her name, walked over and demanded that she open her mouth, Izaria stuck out her tongue childishly. "Bite me. There is no way I'm letting you stick that thing into my mouth. Wait on second thought, why don't you take that and shove it up your rear ends. Maybe it'll loosen you three idiots up." Later on Izaria will probably realize that what she did wasn't the smartest thing she could've said. For one she couldn't bend. Two, the people she just talked back to were firebender, an three, there was no where for her to run too.

ooc: Ok next daywill be starting after this little part. Also Blu do youwant something to do with your other character?

[.:Blu:.]

((Whoa Hotaru, a bit much on the cussing don't you think? Oh, and I have plans for my other character but it starts off on the next day that's why I haven't been posting about him))

Hanza didn't even pay attention to Izaria's rant. He simply closed his eyes and walked back to his desk. After reopening his eyes, Hanza looked towards Akuanzaku. "As you can see.... She has a tendency to complain and in general be very annoying...." Hanza said before sitting back down. Hanza turned to face Izaria's cell to watch Kihomi shut her up. Even though he didn't show it, Hanza was quite glad that Izaria would finally be quiet. If it had come to it, Hanza, himself, would shut her up, and that was one thing you didn't want.

[Catterjune]

(OOC: I too found the cursing to be rather... sudden. She goes from calling them hot heads to... something I can't say? )

"I wasn't asking." Kihomi stated simply, rather quietly as the Avatar spoke. She wrapped the cotton bag in the long piece of black cloth, preparing her little trap. The best way to describe it would probably be something like a jump rope (or a regular rope?) with a gag right in the center.

At the word 'up', Kihomi scrunched up the mouth full of cotton in her fist and struck the Fire lord princess in the mouth, as she still had her mouth open from speaking. Presumably, the Avatars instincts kicked in and, if she doesn't mind me godmodding and powerplaying her character for just a bit (just so we don't have to spend about 10 or so posts of will they or won't they, all the while trying to fill 4 lines), the young Avatar bit down on Kihomi's hand while trying to reach up to remove the cotton gag.

Kihomi naturally flinched, as most girls do when being bitten, but she saw an opening when the Avatar moved her hands. In one quick swooping motion with her free left hand, she wrapped the Avatar's right with the black cloth, went around her back and around her waist, then grabbed her left hand as well.

With only one free hand against the Avatar's pair of hands, Kihomi had a bit of trouble making a knot. So with one quick move, she kicked the girl in the shins. Presumably, the hard strike would at least make the Avatar scream, freeing her hand. If not, she could always go for round 2, 3, or more.

After the Avatar freed her hand, and possibly in a bit of pain to resist fighting so much, she had free reign to tie up the loose ends of the black cloth around the girl's wrists, then tie the ends together around her waist.

In such, a decent enough gag had been made, and the Avatar had been sufficiently subdued, her arms pinned and tied to her sides.

Kihomi looked down at her bleeding hand. A quick shrug as she walked out of the prisoner's chamber.

She walked towards Hanza, giving a quick salute, so quick in fact a spot of blood hit her face with the swiftness and sharpness in which she saluted. "Sir! Permission to clean myself off?"

[.:Blu:.]

Hanza looked at Kihomi and noticed the blood that spattered onto her face and the injury on her hand. "Permission granted...." Hanza said plainly. The other guard looked at Izaria with a satisfied and evil smile. The smile then quickly faded, showing an angered face. "Tommorow, you will wish that you haven't been born...." the guard whispered to her. He now held a personal grudge against Izaria for injuring Kihomi, even though he hasn't known her long.

"You.... What do you think you're doing talking to the prisoner....?" Hanza asked from his desk. The guard quickly turned and salute. "Oh nothing Sir! I was just telling it that tommorow it will pay for its treachery towards the Fire Nation and the Fire Lord!" the guard responded. "Stay focused on the job at hand soldier...." Hanza warned coldly. "Y-Yes Sir!" the guard responded then stood in the proper manner once again.

[Hotaru987]

Izaria growled angrily from under her gag screaming out insult after insult, but it was muffled and uncomprihendable. She struggled in her bonded state glarin hatefully at the three. The only thing that made it better was that she injured the female soldier in the hand. After about 30 minutes of continous screaming and struggling it suddenly got extremely quite in the cells. If the others had cared to turn around they would have seen that she had tire herself out and fell asleep in the floor, her abnormal fire red hair covering most of her face.

~[b]The next Day[/b]~

Izaria groaned in her cell waking up from a very uncomfortable sleep. Not only were the floors cold, her being tied up didn't help at all. At the sound of foot steps Izaria became more alert and, with some trouble, sat in an upright position. She waited for who ever it was to appear. (Blu that's your cue. ^^)

[.:Blu:.]

Hanza stepped forward towards Izaria. He looked down at her with cold and fierce eyes as if he was looking into the face of someone who is about to be killed. "The time has come, prisoner...." Hanza said plainly. A guard then dragged Izaria to her feet forcefully. They didn't bother to remove the object in her mouth, but they simply dragged her out of the prison cell like dragging an animal out of its cage. Hanza turned to Kihomi and the other guard. "Now let us depart...." Hanza said as h turned back to face the corridor.

Hanza, with the two soldiers, departed from the prison. They were headed towards the middle of the Capital City where usually festivals would be held, but today, something else would be held for the former princess of the Fire Nation. After exiting the premises, Hanza was greeted by about thirty soldiers, all of them saluting him. Hanza returned the salute and the soldiers got into formation.

With that, Hanza and the soldiers marched over to the middle of the Capital City. After awhile of continuous marching, they finally arrived at their destination. Hanza turned over to the two soldiers holding the princess. "You two, bring her to the guards under General's Akuanzaku's command...." Hanza commanded.

There were people everywhere. They all came to witness the punishment of the former princess or a more proper term, the Avatar.

-Meanwhile-

A large group of about twenty people were practicing fighting moves. After they had finished, Pao looked towards Kin. Kin was being accompanied by two other people besides Kin. One person was kneeling on the ground fanning Kin, and another person was standing behind Kin on his right side. Pao was behind Kin on his left side. "So Brother Kin?" Pao asked. "Hmm, not bad, not bad at all." Kin said. Pao then stepped forward towards the large group. "Hey! Brother Kin here said not bad, not bad at all!" Pao yelled to the large group of people.

The large group of people had finally finished their practice session and walked off. When they were walking off, all of them picked up red cloaks off the ground and put them on themselves. The back of the cloaks had symbols of the Fire Nation, meaning these were soldiers. Kin grabbed Pao's ear and pulled him back. "What do you think you're doing?" Kin asked Pao. Pao then turned to Shing, the person who was fanning Kin. "Yeah what are you doing? Fan faster!" Pao said.

Shing then immediately began to speed up his fanning. However, Kin stopped the fan with his right hand. "I'm feeling a bit cold." Kin said plainly. Lam, the person on Kin's right then walked towards the front. "Wow Brother Kin, you go here everyday to see the Fire Nation Soldiers practice. If a person doesn't know, they'll probably think you're the teacher huh?" Lam said.

"Hey Lam! Are you insulting Brother Kin?! You're saying he's not good enough to be their teacher and he has to be to pretend to keep his reputation up?" Pao said. Hearing that, Lam then placed both of his hands onto Kin's right shoulder. "Brother Kin, Pao's insulting me. I feel like I should tell my father." Lam whined. Kin then stood up and looked at Pao. "You, how many times have I told you. You always have your finger out but never in. You cannot insult your own. Come over here." Kin said to Pao as he walked off to get distance from the group followed by Pao.

"You!" Kin yelled fiercely at Pao. "How many times have I told you, Lam's the son of a Fire Nation Officer, we need him to keep our reputation up." Kin said in a quiet voice to Pao. "Sorry Brother Kin...." Pao responded. "I need to punch you to make it look real." Kin said. "How much force this time?" Pao asked. "60 percent." Kin answered as he readied his fist.

"60?!" Pao exclaimed before getting punched in the stomach and falling to the ground.

[Catterjune]

Some time, a long time ago, she had washed her hand and gotten it bandadged up. She spoke little as she collected the Fire Lord princess, fortunately the girl wasn't doing much to badger her attention. Perhaps the woman realized the situation was hopeless, and complaining to a lowly foot soldier, especially one so blunt and uncaring as Kihomi. Perhaps her spirit had been broken with the public humiliation, and she now thought her best bet would be to plead with the Fire Lord.

or maybe she just couldn't talk because she had a gag in her mouth. It was a mystery Kihomi would likely never know the answer to.

Standing behind the avatar, mostly to make sure she didn't undo her bindings, and also to poke her in the back should her pace be too slow for Kihomi's liking, she followed as Hanza lead the group to the center of town.

Her next assignment was to bring them to the command of General Akuazaku.

[THIS POST STILL NEEDS EDITING, PROBABLY!]

[Hotaru987]

ooc: Naw, its fine now.

Izaria quietly and obidiently followed her escort to, what appeared, to be the center of the town. Whatever ever was going on it probably wasn't going to be in the young Avatar's favor. As they got closer to there destination she saw more and more people. However, there were twice as many fire nation soldiers far too many to consider counting. [i]What is my father planning?....I don't see him around here.[/i] Her amber eyes looked around while trying to be as discrete as possible. Would Sun be here as well? He was the only person, probably in the whole fire nation, that she could trust. She wasn't afraid to be led where ever it was because she knew she would not be killed. Her father said so himself, but it would be nice to see a face that she recognized. Besides he would just have to search all of the Air Temples for the next Avatar, and the Fire Lord is not a very paitent man.

Strangely enough she did not feel fear, anxiety or anything at the moment. Something kept telling her that everything wouuld be alright, and to just keep faith. Like a whisper from far away, and she couldn't help but listen to it. [i]I'll be fine...I hope....[/i]

[Asriel Dreemurr]

General Retsuri smiled as he saw the approaching guard bearing the Avatar, the woman pushing through the crowd to near him did not look anywhere near to being as excited. In fact, she looked downright distraught as she finally came within the small clearing in the crowd about him, much to Akuanzaku's surprise it was his own twin sister, Akihana.

"Akihana...what on earth are you doing here?" He inquired, his face for once showing some emotion other than his excitement to do the Fire lord's will as he turned to face his sister, the procession bearing the Avatar growing ever closer.

"Brother, please, you can't do this," Akihana began, her distraught expression changing to show only pleading upon her face and in her eyes "The Avatar means too much to the world, you can't go through with this!"

"If I had been ordered to take her to the furthest end of the earth and teach her the ways of fire bending, I would," Akuanzaku stated as he pushed his sister away with one hand, much to her increased distress, "But my orders are to make an example of her to the whole of the world and crush the hope she represents. I cannot defy my lord's will." As he said this, Akihana came to the realization that all the pleading in the world couldn't stop him, and this showed upon her face. At the same time she slowly retreated back into the crowd, the procession had reached the stairs up to the platform in the town square and the General had managed to regain his composure completely. As General Hanza reached the group, Akuanzaku offered him a salute, before moving around to take the Avatar from the grip of the soldiers following him, his hands like ice upon her bare skin as he took hold of her shoulder with enough force to cause substantial pain.

"The time has come for judgment to be measured out. General Hanza, I will take it from here." Akuanzaku then began to move towards the stage, and at the same time his sister, Akihana, had moved back into the crowd, finding what was once a decorative stone left upon the paved streets so as to have a better view of the events. She only hoped that the others she had met with the day before would come in time to enact their rescue plan, and that she would be able to stall her brother long enough for it to take effect. In the Mean Time, General Retsuri had lifted the chains up off the ground and placed the shackles tightly around Izaria's wrists. He turned his back to her briefly, moving to address the crowd.

"People of the Fire Nation, behold the Avatar! There are those among you who think that this traitor is a sign of hope, that she will usher in a new age of peace. As such, she must be made an example to all who would betray the Fire Lord." He then turned about to face Izaria, reaching forward and taking a firm hold of her lower jaw with his armored left hand and forcing it open before removing the gag, whether to allow her to scream or for some other reason could not be known. Regardless, he simply threw the gag to the side before conjuring an orb of flame in each hand as he stood there, looking the Avatar in the eyes through the curtain of silver hair about his face. In the crowd, Akihana was becoming more and more anxious with each passing moment; the sooner they could rescue Izaria, the less chance of injury to her there was.

[Hotaru987]

Despite the situation Izaria was curretly in, her head remained held high and she kept direct eye contact with the General in front of her. She wasn't going to show her fear even now, when any chance of rescue was impossible. "I won't scream. No matter what you do to me." Was the first thing she said once the gag was removed. Her voice was hoarse and dry from the lack of water, but she didn't let that stop her. "And I definantly wont beg, especially not to some mindless dog, who can't wipe his butt without my father's say so." It was apparent she just didn't care anymore, and was going to say whatever came to her mind. Even if it was too a powerful firbending General.

[.:Blu:.]

Hanza gave Akuanzaku a salute as he came to retrieve Izaria. "I leave the rest to you General Akuanzaku...." Hanza said. Hanza then turned to face the guards near him. "Make sure to keep an open eye...." Hanza whispered to them. Hanza had already expected that there might be a possible rescue for Izaria, and so he had already taken the liberty to reinforced the number of soldiers present. Hanza was to see to it that everything goes according to plan, and if anyone attempt to intervene, then he will show no mercy. Hanza fixed his gaze of the Avatar while at the same time, paying attention to his surroundings.

-Meanwhile-

The small town of Guangshang was already bustling with life, as people began their daily commute. Guangshang's main center was a large open market that everyday seems to be bustling with shoppers and vendors. Even the occasional tourist comes here to try and get their hands on the famous rainbow meteorite pieces that vendors only sell once every decade. This year was that year.

Everything seemed normal within Guangshang during this peaceful morning. "Everybody! I-It's Evil Kin!" a man shouted as he ran through the marketplace wildly to spread the news. Upon hearing that Kin was arriving, everybody began to panic, but ultimately at the end, they all grouped together and form two long lines.

Kin and his followers arrived, each had a intimidating and cool look on their faces. "One, two, three, four, where are my ladies at?" Kin asked as he began walking towards the two lines. Kin and his followers moved to the left line, where two young women were standing. "Hello ladies. Looking pretty as ever I see. How about a kiss?" Kin asked. "Yeah! How about a kiss?!" Pao repeated only to have his ear pulled by Kin.

"Anyways, where's my money?" Kin asked the two. "W-We don't have any today, can you give us a few more days?" one of the young ladies asked. "A few more days huh? Alright, take off you're clothes." Kin said plainly as he snapped his fingers. "What?!" the two young ladies exclaimed at the same time as they cover themselves with their arms.

"You heard me. I'll give you a few more days if you take off your clothes right now." Kin responded plainly. They two young ladies shook their heads and gave Kin his money that they were hiding in their robes. "Thank you ladies, we'll talk later." Kin said as he walked on.

The next person Kin went towards was a merchant who sold flowers. He was standing there with his mouth closed tightly. Kin just gave a slight move from his head and Shing punched the merchant in the stomach, causing the merchant to bent down and opened his mouth widely from loss of air. Shing then slapped the merchant from behind his head and a gold coin came out from his mouth and onto Shing's hand.

Shin continued on to collect from a person who hid money on his head hidden by a hat, a person who hid money in his shirt, and a person who hid money in his shoes. The next person Kin tried to collect money from was a bit stubborn however. "Where's the money?" Kin asked. "I'm not going to hand you my money." the man said firmly. Kin gave a slight chuckle when he heard that. "Fine, then I'll burn down your house, dig up your father's coffin and burn that, and I'll sell your daughter to the brothel, how about that?" Kin said in a raised voice.

"You-" the man was interrupted by Kin. "You really want me to do it?" Kin asked again. The man's wife then grabbed his arms. "Just give him the money. He killed his own father, he won't be afraid to do what he saids." the wife pleaded. The man had no choice but to give Kin the money.

"Let this be a lesson to all of you people! Never try to hide money from me!" Kin warned everybody and then left with his followers.

[Catterjune]

Giving a salute to General Akuanzaku, our dark hard antagonist did an about face maneuver. Despite delivering the Avatar, her job was far from over. Right now, everyone the world over had their eyes on the fire nation. Some, sympathetic to the Avatar's cause, would most likely want to see her freed. As such, she would be on guard duty for right now, making sure the crowd was under control. Sword at the ready, should things take an ugly turn.

If there was a miracle to occur, now would... probably... be a good time for it happen. *shrug*

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Akuanzaku smiled slightly, leaning in just slightly so that his face was mere inches from Izaria's; it was likely that she could feel his steady breathing on her face as he remained there for a few seconds before speaking to her.

"You just don't understand what loyalty is, do you?" were the only words he had to say to her before leaning back once more and taking a few steps back once more in preparation. He then did a surprising thing, he moved his hands in such a way as a water bender might to form a water whip between their hands: the effect was rather different as he extended his middle and index fingers on both hands as the motion came to an end, producing two long whip-like shapes from the flames which he had gathered in his hands. He brought his right hand up above his head, before bringing it back down at high speed and striking Izaria across the face and sent the whip sailing down across her chest. He lifted his left arm in order to deliver the same strike with the whip he had formed from that hand.

[i]meanwhile...[/i]

Each time she saw her brother strike the former princess with the whips of flame he had produced, Akihana winced from both the thought of the pain that Izaria was feeling and the pain of the realization of just how different the military had made her brother. She was becoming impatient and anxious as she waited for the others to arrive, mainly because this was the only chance they had to rescue Izaria before she was imprisoned for life as part of her father's punishment.

[Hotaru987]

When the first strike hit unimaginable pain shot through her system. Never in her life had she been hit, not even whe she was younger an got into trouble, so the pain just seemed twice as worse than it probably was. Even through she kept her vow not to scream, that didn't stop the tears from rolling down her face. The force on which she bit her lip to keep from screaming was so great that it began bleeding. The citizens could only watch,some in terror, some with indiffernce, and the rest in agreement. Finally, a small whimper sounded from the chained Avatar but that was he only sound that escaped.

[.:Blu:.]

((Random post Well not really))

Within Kin's dojo, a group of muscular guys gathered to hear what Pao had to announce. Kin was on his chair that appeared more like a throne. He has a very lazy and laid-back way of sitting, or slouching more like it. His face still showed his intimidating and cool expression. "Come one, come all and buy this amazing product from Brother Kin! Kin's Do-It-All Vitamins made from natural ingredients that will boost your manliness and makes you feel invicible! Given the thumbs up by Brother Kin himself!" Pao said as he pointed to Kin who plainly gave a thumbs up.

The attention was then redirected back to Pao. "With this product you can forget about fighting an Armadillo Lion, you'll be killing Platypus Bears and Saber-tooth Moose-Lions with this! Only one Fire Nation gold coin or five Fire Nation silver coins, buy now before supplies run dry!" Pao advertised.

Suddenly, Tunzai, the leader of a rival gang, and his three followers arrived at Kin's dojo. "Hey Kin! Word on the street is that you've been stealing my customers!" Tunzai yelled. Kin then lazily stood up from his chair and walked down the raised platform where his chair was sitting upon. "Well if isn't the old man Tunzai." Kin said. "I'm not old, I'm thirty-six! So why in the world did your pee-brain told you to steal my customers huh?" Tunzai asked.

"It's simple business dimwit, I got the better product and the better reputation so of course your customers, oops, I mean [i]my[/i] customers have to come flocking to me." Kin explained. "That's it! I had enough of you Kin! Today I'm going to embarass you in front of your own people!" Tunzai shouted angrily.

"Alright everyone, gather around and let me show you my super world-class martial arts skills and the capabilites of my Kin's Do-It-All Vitamins." Kin boasted as he performed a dramatic kung-fu stance. "Humph, I'll mop the floor with ya!" Tunzai boasted. "Eyes poke!" Kin yelled as he closed his fist and extended two fingers to poke Tunzai's eyes.

Tunzai then blocked his eyes from getting poked. In that moment, Kin kicked Tunzai in his groin. "Ouuuu!" Tunzai muttered as he was kicked in the groin. "Groin kick!" Kin yelled as he was about to kick Tunzai once again in the groin. Tunzai then used both hands to cover his groin from being kicked again. This time around, Kin then closed his hand into a fist and extended two fingers. He then proceeded to poke Tunzai's eyes.

Tunzai then moved his hands to his eyes after being poked by Kin. "Side chop!" Kin yelled as he was about to karate chop both sides of Tunzai's body. Tunzai then blocked each side of his body which left an opening for Kin to get a hard punch to Tunzai's chest region. Tunzai then saw an opening and landed a punch onto Kin's chest.

Upon connecting, there was a loud crack. "Ouuuu!" Tunzai yelled as he slowly retracted his fist. "That felt like I hit a steel wall." Tunzai muttered. "Humph, too bad you don't know Earthbending! Hii-yaah!" Kin said as he dramatically jumped into the air and performed a mid-air stance. Kin bent one leg while the other leg was straight and held both his arms out wide, making the appearance of an eagle. Kin then kicked Tunzai right into his chin which knocked him backwards and into the ground.

Kin landed onto the ground in an intimidating martial arts stance. Tunzai, beaten, quickly stood up. "I-I'll get you back Kin!" Tunzai hesitantly yelled as he ran outside followed by his entourage. Everybody then cheered for Kin loudly and Shing ran up to Kin with a towel to wipe the sweet from his forehead. "Brother Kin has proved the effectiveness of the Kin's Do-It-All Vitamins, come buy now!" Pao exclaimed as everybody ran towards the merchant stand to get their bottle of the vitamins.

"Wow, those moves were amazing Brother Kin! You really showed the dimwit Tunzai who's the boss around these parts!" Shing exclaimed. "Humph, of course. Oh yeah almost forgot," Kin said as he pulled out a dented metal plate from within his jacket. "go get rid of this would ya." Kin said as he handed Shing the metal plate and then walked off.

[Cosmic Angel]

A figure of a person, which remained hidden by a brown cloak and hood, traveled amongst the crowd. The hooded figured traveled swiftly making sure not to stay in one spot for long. The person's face was hidden by the hood, but one would assume from the curves that the figure was obviously a women. The women underneath the hood watched in horror from the crowd as General Akuanzaku formed a flaming whip.

The general began to lash his flaming whip against the former princess. The crowd had mix feelings once general Akuanzaku whipped the avatar. Some people felt inspired from the general's actions while others wanted to stand and defend the avatar, but feared for their own life to do so. Lash after lash it was clear that general Akuanzaku was not going to show any mercy towards the former princess. The women under the hood watched without saying a word, she noticed that the avatar did not make a sound, once she received blows from the general. The women's body began to tremble, the hooded women may have been trembling but it was not an act of fear but rooted from anger. The women clenched her fist tightly, as tears began to escape the hood. A nearby guard soon noticed a hooded women clenching her fist. He did not think much of it until he noticed that the hooded figure had a plated gauntlet equipped to their arm. The guard made his way to the hooded women. Once he reached the hooded women he placed his arm upon her shoulder and his other hand onto his hip griping his blade," Please come with me."

The women felt the hand upon her shoulder, she did not make a sound or show any signs of resistance. The guard escorted the hooded women to a nearby alley away from the crowds. The guard looked left and right in a paranoid fashion. " Now I am in a good mood, so how about you give me a reason to not turn you in for your suspicious nature." The guard licked his lips and spoke in a way that made him sound like a creep. " What's wrong don't tell me your shy. I can tell a mile away that you might have the right assets to persuade me." The guard shoved the hooded women into the wall as hard as he could. The women under the hood slammed into the wall releasing a slight ump from the force. The guard quickly drew his blade with his left hand and placed his right hand upon the women's rather large chest. "Now if you scream I will kill you. Now let's see how fair you are."

The guard removed the hood from the women and instantly dropped his blade. The guard's eyes widen and fear soon consumed his entire face. " Yaaaa... your general Akuanzaku's lieutenant Ina Liao." Ina grabbed the womanizing guard by the neck and slammed him against the brick wall of the alley. " Good you know who I am" Ina replies in a soft yet serious voice. " I am undercover under the direct orders of general Akuanzaku himself. If you are to interfere with my orders I will have look at it as an act of treason. Do I make myself clear?" Ina's grip on the guard's neck became tighter, She stared at the guard with her bright green eyes as he gasped for air. The guard squirmed but could not break free from Ina's grip," Please don't kill me." The guard mumbled as his face started to become pale. " Now I am in a good mood, so how about you give me a reason to not kill you" she replied in a sarcastic tone as she repeated what he once told her. The guard felt the cold steel of the gauntlet across his neck and was soon unable to speak. " How pathetic" Ina responded in a harsh voice. She soon releases the guard from her grip, causing the guard to drop to the ground. "Don't you ever come between me and my mission again." Ina placed the hood upon her head and began to walk away. The guard gagged and tried to catch his breath as he stood up. " Dam b****, who the hel." Before the guard could finish Ina turned around and walked back towards the guard. She stared at him with her bright green eyes. " That reminds me." Ina delivered one swift punch to the guard's stomach. The guard's eyes becomes white and blood quickly escaped his mouth. "You should keep your hands to yourself ok." Ina walked out of the alley to continue her duties. As she left the alley the guard fell to the ground moaning in pain. The brick wall that he was leaning on soon cracked and fell apart leaving a hole behind.

OoC: Screw it, I'm just going to start the attack. Guys, please wait for Ketodama and Kakkon_Wolf to post and then react accordingly. Thank you.

IC: With a heavy sigh, Sun looked at the red cylinder resting in his hand. He knew that this cylindrical device would lead to absolute treason against the Fire Nation, and he would have to turn his back on everything he knew, everything he had grown up with. But, he had to do it. For if Sun did not commit treason, his best friend- his sister, in many ways- would die. And this bond, the bond that tied Izaria and Sun together, was far stronger than any sort of emotion Sun felt towards his birth land. And so, it was with a clear mind and a steady hand that Sun lit the firework he held.

Below him, Luyo shivered restlessly. The Eel Hound was not used to lying in wait, staying still for so long in some dingy back alley. The Eel Hound is one of the fastest creatures on land, and as such, he was used to being in constant motion. You might say that Luyo was A.D.D. However, he was loyal to his master, and so he instantly quieted as Sun laid a hand reassuringly on his green, smooth head. Throwing the torch to the side, Sun prepared the firework, holding it in his hand as one would hold a paper airplane, which Sun had done many times in his rebellious, prank-ridden childhood. He sat on Luyo motionlessly, counting down the seconds. If his plan was to come to fruition, everything had to be perfectly timed.

As he waited, Sun's mind wandered to the three strangers, who were undoubtedly waiting in the crowd of Izaria's execution. [i]How could he trust them?[/i] Sun felt himself wonder. He had only met them. Yes, they had seemed trustworthy enough last night when Sun had met with them, but now, with the fate of Izaria pressing on his mind now then ever...doubts began to form.

[i]It is too late for that![/i] Sun told himself crossly. [i]You just have to make a leap of faith, Sun. You've done that enough in your lifetime! Why not now?[i] Shoving aside any lingering doubts, Sun thrust his hand up into the air, and, with a deep breath, flung the firework into the air. He had timed it perfectly. As the firework left Sun's fingers, it immediately broke apart. A blaze of crackling, blue energy leaped forward and with an almightly roar, soared far into the air. The blue energy furthered combusted as it rose, and suddenly the sky was lit as a blue flower of flame danced across the heavens. A blue firework. The prearranged sign of action. Even as he sat here, the ambush would begin.

His heart pounding thunderously, Sun spurred Luyo into action and together they burst out of the alleyway, and out onto the street. A mile or so away, Sun could see the crowd that signaled where the execution of Izaria was taking place. Even as Luyo blazed across the street with amazing speed, Sun saw that it would take a couple of minutes for him to reach the crowd. Sun could only hope the rest of his team could occupy the Firebenders until then.

OOC: Let the break-out begin!

IC: As the firework went off int the distance Akihana knew that the time to move had come, she did not hesitate as she leapt into the air and sent herself flipping over the crowd in a fetal position before straightening out with her hands down and letting loose a stream of fire from each of her palms simultaneously, in essence turning herself into a rocket which went hurtling onto the stage, landing perfectly on her feet just behind her brother. Akuanzaku, hearing both the rocketing flames and the landing, spun about to see his sister conjuring an orb of flames between her hands and preparing to strike at him, however she froze for a moment and Akuanzaku raised his hand to call off any interference with that particular matter from the guards.

"I should have known something like this was going to happen," Akuanzaku said, his face still showing no emotion as he gazed directly into his sister's eyes, "I should have known you were a traitor, sister."

"Brother, please, can't you see that what you're doing is not the best way to serve the Fire Nation?" Akihana questioned, her face once more becoming a distraught mask that begged for her brother to see reason. What surprised her was, that Akuanzaku actually lowered his guard as if he meant to let her pass and free the Avatar.

"You...you may be right, sister," Akuanzaku began as he saw his sister lowering her guard as well, before springing his trap and lashing out with a hard and fast kick with his right foot into her stomach that sent her to the stage, "but the Fire Lord's orders cannot be questioned! You wish to save the Avatar from me? You had best move quickly then." As he said this he spun about towards her, bringing his right hand up to his mouth and exhaling hard and fast towards Izaria, unleashing a cone of flames that might remind someone of a Dragon's breath. The Avatar was consumed by the flames, setting her royal garments on fire and also igniting the stage beneath her feet, producing an inferno about her. At this exact moment, Akuanzaku spun around just in time to see and leap above a lash of flames which his sister had produced and swung around just above the ground with her feet. He landed soon after and punched hard towards her with his right hand, sending a sustained stream of flames directly at her which was soon met by her own stream of flames which she sent upwards from the ground to act as a shield. Akihana was once more nervous, as each second that past meant worsened burns to Izaria.

(OOC: I'm honestly surprised it took me this long to realize the Fire bender teacher and the general were both played by the same person. )

The setting off of fireworks as a signal is quite a double edged sword. Not only does it alert your allies, but it also alerts your enemies. For a jaded and already on edge set of guards and lowly soldiers, the sight and sound of fireworks igniting was just the sound they needed to heighten their defenses.

The blue flame still lingering in the air, the young dark haired woman pointed to it, stepping forward and ready to push through the crowd. However, before she could investigate matters, several gaurds easily pushed past her, crowding through, and disappearing into the sea of Fire Nation.

"W-watch it!" she stammered. Pushing and weaving her body to avoid getting trampled. By the time it was over, only 20 or so guards remained.

Kihomi blinked, thinking it over. Once a platoon of 50 or so gaurds to make sure citizens couldn't get past had been reduced about half.

"IT'S A DISTRACTION!" she yelled, but alas her cries fell before deaf ears. A majority of the guards had run off to investigate the firework, and sure enough, with their defenses stretched thin, a rather skilled fire bender easily maneuvered through the crowd and slipped past the guards, making her way on stage.

"Y-you there!" Kihomi called backwards as she attempted to stop Akihana. However, Akuanzaku gave a gesture, signaling for her to back off. He had a point. The unruly crowd was quickly growing out of control, and the gaurds had now been dangerously understaffed, with over half good soldiers gone off to investigate the source of the fireworks.

(sorry for the wait, but I was really sick and I could barely keep my eyes open...)
Amidst the fighting and excitement a strong gust of wind started blowing, then sand started lifting with the wind, creating a small sandstorm that blinded everyone on and around the stage. A female voice yelled "NOW!!". A silhouette of a man jumped into the sandstorm and made some strange waterbender-like movements. The sand cleared, all guards, soldiers and generals that were present found themselves held down to the ground by ice. The man was revealed to be Fang, he yelled "GO!!!" Sun charged on his eel-hound and grabbed the avatar. He dropped some smoke pallets and started running in the direction of Fang's hideout. Fang said "We don't have much time, they're fire benders after all!!" Akihana, Fang, Jia who was there all along and was the one who made the sandstorm, started running behind Sun to escort him to Fang's hideout.

(Now, I'm sorry if anyone doesn't like the way I manipulated his character, but I had to, so now I'll need Akunzaku and Kihomi or anyone else to follow us, so that there could be a battle, though they MUST be 2 people and one of them MUST be Akunzaku...)

Ina who was a distance away everything that had happened. As soon as Ina saw the blue flare across the sky she figured that someone was about to make their move. Ina began to run because she knew that she would have little time to react once the flares were lit.

Ina quickly hoped onto a fruit vendors cart, and from the cart she jumped towards the ledge of a building. Once she grabbed the ledge she pulled herself up not wasting anytime. " I have to hurry, whoever is after the avatar could make their move at anytime now. Ira jumped roof top to roof top until she was high enough she had a clear view of the avatar.

Ina had reached the roof top just in time. As soon as Ina climbed to the top she saw a small group of people set off a smokescreen. " Right on time, now where will you go" With a bird's eye view Ina watched the chaos below. The group was making their escape, but Ina had already formed a plan. " They head west in hopes of escaping on that eel hound. Well I think that it's time for the crow to sweep down onto the battlefield." A strong gust soon blew, Ina cloak flapped in the wind. Ina followed the group jumping roof top to roof top trying to stay out of sight.

It wasn't long but Ina managed to get ahead of the group. She jumped from the building and landed onto the street with grace. Ina placed the hood upon her head to hide her face from the group who was escaping with the avatar. "It is time to put my plan into action" Once the group made their way towards Ina, the cloaked women ran towards them. "Hurry you can't go this way fire benders have blocked off the streets. Quickly take this alley way hurry we must protect the avatar." She yelled in a hasty voice hoping that the group would take the bait and alter their route. Ina stood in the middle of the road and hoped that would also cause them to take the alley way which would lead them to a dead end.

Hanza watched calmly at the attempt of rescuing the Avatar. He already had everything set for this type of moment. "How foolish...." Hanza said calmly as he blast the ice around his feet and then walked off towards the direction of where the Avatar and her rescuers were headed. All of the other soldiers also quickly freed themselves and started to pursue the Avatar and her rescuers as well. Hanza then held his fist towards the ground and fire began to erupt out from his fists. Hanza used jet propulsion to fly threw the air to search for the criminals.

However, he didn't need to do much as he already planned everything out. The streets were chaotic as citizens of the Capital City ran around wildly. Suddenly, the citizens closed by to Izaria, Sun, Akihana, Fang, and Jia, began to swarm around the five. They were soldiers in disguise, and not regular soldiers either, but the best of the best. From the buildings also came more soldiers who have been hiding there waiting for the moment to come out.

They surrounded the five and made sure there was no escape. Hanza quickly arrived and walked pass Lieutenant Ina without paying any attention to her. Hanza approached the five through the swarm of soldiers. "There is no escape I'm afraid.... Your friend Sun was careless.... After he had left the prison, the Avatar tried to firebend which was picked up by a soldier of my company.... When she told me the details, I began to suspect something was going to happen during this day.... And I guess I was correct...." Hanza explained coldly.

Things were happening way to ast for Izaria to comprehend, but one thing that she was painfully aware of, was the fire whip that left a searing pain behind on her flesh. She waited for the next strike to come, but instead a loud explosion off in the distance got everyone's attention. There were blue freworks being sho off...But why? The note that Sun gave to her passed through her mind, and she smiled widely.[i] It's Sun! It has to be![/i] Hoever before anything else could happen a large pillar of flame srrounded Izaria curtesy of Akuanzaku, who at the moment wasfending off some chick that Izaria didn't know. The flames were slowly getting closer, licking at her clothes and skin. But as long as she was chained to the grod she couldn't move. She didn't know how much more she could take, and it was a wonder how she didn't scream.

However, as sudden as the pillar appeared it was blown away by a strong gust of wind, and a faint '[i]Chink[/i]' sound caused her to turn her head. The chain was broken! But how? The only clue wasthe water rsidu that was left behind. Seconds later she was being hauld up, under someone's arm and after looked at the ace of her savior she smiled, "Sun! I can't believe you came!" Pain was laced in her voice as her position was not one that favoreder burns. "But you're an idiot! You'll be caounted as a traitor to the fire nation!" Izaria was worried about Sun, bt also relieved that he gave it up to save her. He was her best friend and the only sure person that she could trust now.

Before she knew it they were surrounded by the citizens, who Izaria instatly recognized at undercover soldiers. It was that lady they followed! It was a trap. Hanza appeared and said that he knew about this due to catchingme fire bend. "What?" I said. "I didn't ire bend in the cells! If you can't remember I can't fire bend! Not even a spark!"
