"No!" Malina called out. "That's not true!"

Gilak held up a briefcase saying he had proof and Maliq said it was his. Gilak explained how he read through the documents and that they were going to make the South a colony of the North. They will control all the oil they found here, which I didn't think we had oil in the poles.
Malina denied the plan but told us that it used to be, because they worried the South wouldn't know how to handle an important resource. I looked over at Sokka and Katara completely confused but I was ready to fight this chick. Malina admitted they we wrong but Maliq didn't feel the same way.
He told his sister that he didn't destroy the documents and never canceled the plans, she seemed to not have known about this. Maliq announced that Gilak was speaking the truth and said it wasn't about the money it was about the world, the oil was out pathway to future equality. Malina tried to get her brother to stop but he wouldn't.

"People of the Southern Water Tribe, I deeply regret the hurt that my crew and I have caused." Malina announced. "We are stepping down from the Southern Reconstruction Project, effective immediately. We'll leave the South Pole first thing in the morning."

"For the tribe!" Gilak called out and his army attacked the siblings.

"Look, whatever Malina an Maliq did, they don't deserve to die!" Aang said and we followed him. "Katara and I will get them some place safe-"

"While Captain Boomerang, Lover girl, Hot head, Blazy and I keep everyone else from pummeling each other!" Toph said and We all looked at her. Well mainly questioning our nicknames.

"Captain Boomerang?!" Sokka asked.

"Oh don't act like you don't like it! When I call you that, Captain Boomerang!" Toph answered.

"Come on." I told them as we ran. "I'll go help Katara and Aang." Zuko nodded and I followed the others to Maliq and Malina. "I would asked what I missed but we don't have time."

"Aang-" Katara shouted as we watched the men were heading to the siblings.

"I'll take care of Gilak's troops! You two go."

Katara and I fought different people and as one threw a spear and them I created a wall of ice infront of the troop. Katara and I waited for more to come and Maliq thanked us while Malina wanted to explain, Katara and I were hit with something made of snow.

I groaned "Vacation my butt." I pushed myself onto my hands and looked back at Malina and Maliq leaving with a crew. "Katara, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She replied.

"Do you finally grasp the point of my story, Katara?" Some man asked and he was old and looked like a rat. "They may invite you to their campfire. They may flatter you with pretty words. They may even put together a lovely festival for you. But make no mistake. In their eyes, you'll never be anything more than a snow rat."

"Katara?" I asked confused.

"We must remove the foreigners from our midst or they will destroy us." The ugly geezer spoke. "Now will you support Gilak's cause? How about the Dragon of Ice?"

"The world is changing. I've seen foreigners everywhere." I spoke. "New family, friends, all foreigners." We looked at Katara, she looked at Aang and said no.

"I believed in you, young Katara. I really did." He sighed. "But being away from home so long has made you both forget where your loyalties belong." He jabbed at our arms and the feeling was gone. "Especially you," he spit at me. "Dating not only a Fire Nation citizen but the Fire Lord!"

"Why should you care?" I asked and glared at him. "Funny you're a chi blocker but.. dragons don't have really need their arms!" I used my legs to trap him in ice and looked over.
