"At this rate, we won't do enough damage before the drill reaches the wall." Katara huffs out

"I don't know how many more of those I have in me."

An ominous shudder and low moan passes down the length of the Drill.

"Do you hear that We took it down. We better get out of here fast!"

As they race away, they pause at a doorway as a voice comes down from overhead speaking tubes.

"Congratulations crew, Dill has made contact with the wall of Ba Sing Se.

Sokka is struggling futilely against the severed girder.

"C'mon brace, budge!" He says

"This is bad, really bad." Katara says

"Were putting everything we've got into busting these braces, but it's taking too long!" Katara groans

"Maybe we don't need to cut all the way through. Toph has been teaching me that you shouldn't give 100% of your energy into any one strike. Sokka, take a fighting stance.You've gotta be quick and accurate." Aang hooks a foot around one of Sokka's ankles, pulling him off balance "Hit a series of points, and break your opponent's stance" He hits Sokka with a series of pretend blows "And when he's reeling back, you deliver the final blow. His own weight becomes his downfall. Literally." Aang smiles

"So we just need to weaken the braces, instead of cut all the way through." Katara says

"Then I'll go to the top of this thing, and deliver the final blow." Aang says

"And boom, it all comes crashing down!"

"Everyone inside that wall, the whole world is counting on us."

Katara and Aang inflict cuts into various support beams. Where Katzumi had marked the pressure points with her firebending.

"That's enough, we need to get to the next one!"

"Good work Team Avatar. Now Aang just needs to... DUCK!" Sokka yells

He ducks and covers just in time to avoid a blast of blue flame. Azula, Mai and Ty Lee run out onto another massive girder well above Aang and friends.

"Azula!" Katzumi yells

"Oh it's my baby sister. Nice to meet you again" Azula smirks. The Two watertribe siblings look at each other in shock, While Aang still stares a Azula

"Wow Azula, you were right, it is the Avatar! ... and friends." Ty lee eyes Sokka

"Hey." Sokka says

Katara marches past and yanks him away. As her allies rush off. Ty Lee drops to the bottom edge of the girder and swings out towards Aang, who throws her backwards with a gust of wind. Aang and his friends are fleeing down corridors, when Aang comes to a halt at a T intersection.

"Guys get out of here, I know what I need to do." Aang says

"Wait! You need this water more than I do!"

As Aang turns, Katara draws out her flask of bending water and throws it to him. Sokka and Katara rush down a corridor, while Aang and Momo head the opposite direction.

"Follow them, the Avatar is mine." Azula races off after Aang, while Mai and Tai Lee pursue the others


Katzumi, Katara, and Sokka reach a dead end, with a large hatch marked by a sign written

" Slurry pipeline What does that mean?" Katzumi asked
