When Worlds Collide

Boiling Rock Part 3

"Ok," He said, getting up, "That's reasonable. But I swear she kissed me" He explained

Anastasia stopped walking, "Shh."

"Hey, don't shush me! I'm trying to explain-"

"Sokka! Someone's coming!" Anastasia whispered, giving him a glare. The two got in a fight position to fight.

A group of guards ran down the hall towards them, "I'm so done with this place." Anastasia said before sending a strong air blast to the guards and knocking them out as they hit the walls and floor.

"We better get somewhere safe, I think they found the man I killed," Anastasia said calmly.

"You killed someone!?" Sokka said, taking a few steps back from her.

"Yeah get over it. It's the man that raped me and was going to rape your now ex-girlfriend I think." Anastasia said sternly.

Sokka gulp "Where is Allison now? Also, how did you kill him?" He said taking one more step back into a sprinting position.

"I bent the air out of his body." Anastasia said casually as she started walking forward."You coming with me? We kinda have to go find Allison and Zuko and leave before they kill us all." Anastasia said with a glare.

"Wait hold on!" Sokka said as he quickly followed her, "You did what!?"

"I bent the air out of his body, keep up Sokka it's not that hard." Anastasia replied, getting a little annoyed, "Now did you figure out how to get us out of here? Do you have a plan at all?"

"Yes," Sokka said. Just as he said this Zuko and Allison turned the corner almost bumping into each other.

"Allison!" Sokka said, walking towards her. She just moved to get closer to Anastasia and looked at the ground.

Sokka frowned a little before saying "So, listen, I think I have an escape plan. I checked out the coolers again, and the point of them is to keep firebenders contained, right?"

Anastasia nodded "Yeah ... and... "

Sokka continued talking "So, they're completely insulated and sealed to keep the cold in. Well, to keep the cold in, it also has to keep the heat out, right?"

Allison angrily whispered, "Just get to the point, Sokka."

Sokka looked at her with a sad look, "It's a perfect boat for getting through the boiling water."

Zuko exchanged a worried glance with Anastasia. "The cooler as a boat? Are you sure?"

Sokka kept talking "I'm telling you, it'll work. I walked around the perimeter. There's a blind spot between two guard towers. It's the perfect launching point. I already tested it out. We'll roll the cooler into the water and just float with the current. It'll take us straight across. As long as we don't make a sound, no one will notice. And bing-bang-boom, we're home free."

Zuko gave him a confused look "But how are you going to get the cooler out?"

All of a sudden they heard a voice from behind around the corner "Yeah, how are you going to get the cooler out?" Chit Sang rounds the corner.

Sokka covered up his face "What? We didn't ... w-we didn't say that."

Allison steps forward "Yeah, you heard wrong."

Chit Sang grins "I heard you hatching an escape plan, and I want in."

Zuko gave him a look "There's nothing to get in on."

Sokka nervously answered, "Yeah, the only thing we're hatching is ... an egg?"

Zuko lowers his head and Allison and Anastasia both cover their eyes while they all sigh in annoyance.
