Kasai raced towards the outer wall of Ba sing sai causing Lillian to be even more worried about Ling, "Where is he taking us?" Crest said as he hovered beside Lillian. Kasai hesitated and began sniffing the air again, "To the little girl." Shane said, "Hopefully..." Shin added. Lillian's shoulder's tensed as Kasai paced along the wall, "We need to take him over the wall." Lillian said as she gripped the harness that Zuko had gotten off some other animal. Shane and Crest helped Lillian lift Kasai over the wall, "You know... We still haven't figured out who Mac is working for." Shin whispered, "We'll figure that out once we get Ling home safe." Lillian growled. The boys looked at each other and then nodded at Lillian before they followed Kasai towards a lake. Kasai circled a small area and then began digging, "Great... Now he needs a potty break." Shane said as he rolled his eyes, "No... His?" Shin whispered, Crest walked past the others and stood beside Kasai. Crest watched as the Lionshark walked deep into the water and the water remained the same depth, "Why isn't the water getting deeper?" Lillian asked as she stood beside Crest. Kasai gave a small whimper before tapping the floor with his front paw. Crest's eyes widened as he realized that there must be something under the water, "Stand back..." Crest said as he took a waterbending stance. Lillian stepped back and Kasai jumped out of the water and hissed at the water as it moved. Crest began swaying his arms causing the water to split in half to reveal a small earth bridge with a stone entrance. Crest froze the water around the bridge and walked towards the earth manhole, "I suspect that we need to get down there." Crest said crossing his arms over his chest, "Great! Where are we going to find and earth bender???" Shin said with slumped shoulder's. Lillian smacked Shin behind his head, "Scream louder why don't you!" Lillian hissed. Shane watched as the sun began to rise, "We need to make a decision. Are we breaking in or waiting for someone to come out?" Shane said turning towards Lillian. Shin and Crest watched as Lillian stared at the sun rise, "We break in." Lillian said taking a deep breath as she absorbed the heat from the sun. "So? Where is this secret headquarters?" someone said from behind the sandy dune. Kasai perked his ears up before stalking towards the dune, Lillian watched as Kasai wiggled his tail and then pounced over the dune, "Aaaaahhhh" screamed the same voice from before, but then Lillian heard a familiar voice, "Hahahaha!!! Hello Boy! hahaha!" a young boys voice giggled. Lillian looked over her shoulder at the other's before running to the dune, "Kasai?" Lillian called, "What are yo-" Lillian's eyes widened as she saw the Avatar and his friends. Lillian felt all the blood drain from her face... Kasai was on top of the Avatar... licking him. Lillian watched as the Avatar slowly stood up and smiled at Lillian, "Hi Lillian! Long time no see!" Aang said with a large grin, "Hey Lilly who's tha-" Shin paused as he took in the site of the bald boy before him with airbender tattoos , "Hey Aang! Miss me?" Lillian hummed walking towards the monk, "Lilly... Th-that's the A-Avatar!!! SHANE!!!" Shin screamed excitedly as he jumped on his toes. Lillian rolled her eyes as she greeted Toph, "Hello Pebble!" Lillian smirked as she lightly punched Toph on her shoulder, "Well, if it isn't the dragon girl, how have you been?" Toph spoke. Sokka suddenly jumped in front of Lillian and shielded Toph and the other's, "Don't Socialize with the enemy!!!" Sokka cried as he held his boomerang. Crest took a step forward, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Crest sang as Shane's eyes widened, "Why is he pointing a toy at Lillian?" Shane asked confused. Aang shook his head and face palmed, "Sokka... Lillian is good remember and these are... uh, Who are they?" Aang asked confused, "The loud guy other is my older brother Shin."Lillian said as she pointed to Shin who was still in a dreamy coma from meeting Aang, "The serious one with his arm's crossed is my other older brother Shane." Lillian mumbled as her eyes met Shane's, "Their twins.." Lillian shrugged, "And I am Crest! King of the water!" Crest gloated as he flexed his muscle's, Lillian face palmed, "That's Crest... I don't suppose I can trade him for Katara?" Lillian said with a wink as Katara smirked, "Hey!" Crest and Sokka cried together. Aang snickered as Lillian winked at him, "So... Are you all Tenshi?" Katara asked as she stepped forward. Lillian nodded and felt Shane stand beside her, "Where's Zuko and his Uncle?" Toph asked with both feet on the ground, "Uncle is okay, thanks to Katara and Zuko... he's well Zuko." Lillian said with a shrug. Sokka ran around looking out to certain area's before giving Lillian a serious look, "What are all of you doing out here?" Sokka asked eyeing Lillian and then the other's. Lillian took a deep breath, "It's a long story." Sokka crossed his arms over his chest, "Better get started then." Sokka said bluntly. Crest took a step forward, "How dare you speak to our Princess in that manner!" Crest burst causing Sokka to stumble back and everyone's eyes to widen. Lillian raised her arm forcing Crest to stare at Lillian, "He has every right! I may be a princess, but I am still fire nation." Lillian began walking to Sokka and held out her hand, "And the fire nation has done horrible thing's to everyone." Lillian whispered. Sokka hesitantly took Lillian's hand, "We're on a rescue mission." Shane said while watching Lillian, "A rescue mission?" Katara asked confused. Lillian nodded, "A friend of mine." Lillian whispered, "What about you?" Crest asked staring dagger's into Sokka's head, "You could say we're in the same boat." Katara said softly as she placed her hand on Aang's shoulder, "Appa's missing." Sokka said, "We lost him in the desert BUT!" Sokka said as he rushed over to Kasai and began petting his head, "This fluff ball came to our rescue!" Lillian raised her brow, "yes you did, you cute wittle lionshawk." Sokka cooed, "But we were worried when you didn't show up." Katara added, "yeah and then he just left us!" Toph stated. Lillian placed her hand under her chin, "How did he end up at the zoo then?" Shane shrugged, "It doesn't matter. He's safe and so are you... both of you." Shane said as he looked between Aang and Lillian, "Aww touching... Can we go get Ling and get out of here before Mac shows up!" Shin said slightly nervous. Everyone nodded as they made their way back to the earth bridge, "Well what do you know... There's quite a bit of people down there." Toph said as she wiggled her toes, "Good thing we have skilled bender's and four powerful Tenshi's!" Sokka said with pride, "Were you not the one pointing a boomerang at Lillian just a few minutes ago?" Shane asked confused. Sokka sratched his head nervously, "All in the past?" Sokka cheered. Toph made a quick movement and then suddenly the earth cover of the man whole flew off and missed Sokka by an inch, "Watch it Toph!" Sokka yelled, "All in the past Sokka." Lillian said with a smirk as she walked towards Toph and gave her a fist bump.
"It's so dark..." Sokka whispered, "I got it!" Shin said as he lit a small blue flame on his palm. Lillian looked down the halls with their metal doors and green lanterns, "Where would they be keeping Ling?" Lillian whispered. Toph walked towards the center of the hall way and stood in a simple stance before lifting her foot and stomping it hard onto the ground. Everyone watched in suspense waiting for Toph to move, "There's a metal room down that way." Toph said pointing to the right and then facing the other way, "there's a large room that way but it's empty, so?" Sokka stepped forward, "Let's help Lillian and get the girl before Long Feng finds us." Sokka said as he took hold of his boomerang and began walking towards the room Toph had pointed at. Katara fell into step beside Lillian, "Hey... I wanted to thank you..." Lillian rose her brow, "For what?" Lillian asked, Katara gave her a smile, "For saving Aang and being there when he needed you." Katara said with smile. Lillian found herself smiling back at the water bender, "I'll always be there for him, it's my job to protect him." Lillian said as she looked over at Aang who was laughing at Shin and Shane's bickering. Suddenly a door slammed causing everyone to scatter and hide in the shadows. A single Dai leeagent walked while reading a scroll, "He'll know where she is" Lillian growled as she walked towards the agent, "It's so hard to find the bathroom in here!" Shin said as he danced towards the agent. The agent instantly took a stance and sent a stone hand at Shin, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Shane said as he and Crest extended their wings. The agent turned to run but Lillian stood right behind him and grabbed him at his collar and lifted him off the ground. Lillian felt her blood boil as she stared into the man's fear filled eyes, "Oh... You think your afraid now... What about the 7 year old girl that you took away from her mother?" Lillian growled. The agent closed his eyes, "Please! Don't hurt me!" The agent pleaded, "You better tell me what I want to know or else I'll burn you to a crisp." Lillian hissed as her eyes glowed a terrifying crimson. the agent shook his head, "Anything!" Lillian's grip got tighter, "Where is Ling! Why did you take her!!!??" Lillian growled, "She's at the end of the hall in the metal chamber! Long Feng got order's from a terrifying man and he obeyed!" The agent cried, "Where is My bison!" Aang asked as he stood beside Lillian, "We don't know!! The bison escaped an hour ago!" The agent said, "HEL-" *Bang* Lillian looked over the agents shoulder at Sokka and rose her brow, "What?" Sokka asked as he shrugged his shoulder's, "we got what we needed." Aang ran around at a speed, "Appa's probably looking for us right now!" Aang said excitedly. Lillian smiled at the young monk, "Yeah and Ling is waiting for me." Lillian said as she stared at the door, "I feel like knocking some Dai lee heads." Toph said as she slammed her fist into her palm, "You guys should go find Appa, we'll handle this." Crest said as he placed the agent over his shoulder. Aang seemed to be confused but Lillian reassured him that they would be fine, "You still go it?" Lillian asked Aang with a small smile. Aang nodded at Lillian before following the others back to the exit, "Stay safe." Lillian whispered under her breath.
"Let me go! I haven't done anything wrong!" Ling screamed. Ling was chained up by her arms between two pillars, "She's only but a child My lady." Mac spoke, "I don't care, she will bring me the Princess and I shall bring the princess a new life." said the voice from behind the stone pillar. Ling swung here body constantly as she tried to get free, "Please... It hurts.." Ling sniffed, "I want my mom." Ling cried. Mac turned and shot a flame past her head, "Shut it!" Mac hissed, "Do not stray from your order's Mac." said the cold voice, "Yes my Lady." Mac replied with a small bow. Mac stood before the small girl watching her cry. Mac felt somewhat sorry for the little earth Kingdom girl but he cared more of his reputation, "Sir! There seems to be a problem outside!" reported a short man in a dark red cloak, "What is it this time!?" Mac groaned but he regretted his words instantly. There was a large explosion that caused the metal door to fly off it's hinges. The agents flooded towards the door but one by one they were knocked over by white balls of fire. Mac took a step backwards, "How did she find us so soon?" Mac hissed at a Dai lee agent who just shrugged at him. Lillian raced in and charged at the first Dai lee agent she saw and took him down at an instant. Shin and Shane flew in right behind her, "We need to move Lilly! They'll have reinforcements!" Shane yelled. Crest remained outside to keep watch as the other's fought inside, "Let's get a move on guys!" Crest hissed. Lillian smirked as her crimson eyes met a certain purple haze, "I'll be quick" Lillian said, "Lillian! Help me please!" Ling's voice cried. Lillian watched as Ling pulled her legs up to avoid the hot flames beneath her feet, "Just one of the many choices you will have to make Princess." Mac said leaning against the pillar, "Why are you doing this? She hasn't done anything to you!" Lillian yelled over the roaring flames. Mac's face seemed to fall, "You would never understand..." Mac whispered before disappeared. Lillian wanted to follow but instead she raced towards Ling and used her flight feather's to cut clean through the chains, "I knew you'd come!" Ling said as Lillian caught her in her arms, "Did he hurt you?" Lillian asked coldly, "No... He didn't but the scary lady with the blue fi-"Ling was interrupted by Crest, "I hate to ruin the moment but we need to GO!" Crest rushed, "He's right Lilly!" Shane yelled. Lillian nodded, "Right!" Lillian said placing Ling down, "Shin! Shane!" Lillian called, both boys flew down and landed beside their sister, "We're going to blast a hole in the roof. We don't have time to exit the way we came." Lillian ordered. Both boys nodded at their sister and moved forward, "Crest, the water is going to come in and it's going to come in fast. I need you to form an air bubble around us until we are out of the cave and the current, after that we swim!" Lillian said. Crest gave a small grunt in agreement, "Lilly..." Lillian felt Ling hold onto her leg, "I'm scared." Ling said as her lip trembled. Lillian crouched down before the little girl, "Can I tell you a secret?" Lillian asked Ling as she wiped a small tear away. Ling nodded but couldn't keep her lip from trembling, "I love being scared." Lillian said as she placed a stray piece of hair from Ling's forehead behind her ear, "I think you're brave only when you do things that scare you. I've always used fear as my motivation and I'm not even sure why... But I do know that instead of it keeping me back, it pushes me forward." Lillian finished. Ling stared at Lillian as she knelt in front of her. Did she mean what she said? That you could use fear to push you forward? Ling watched as Lillian gave her a small comforting smile. This was who Lillian truly was. Lillian was the type of person who never showed her fear or emotions to anyone and it made her strong. Ling knew exactly what she wanted to do, she was going to swallow her fear and she is going to try to grow up to be as strong as Lillian. Lillian was her role model, her friend and Ling even felt so close to her that she could be the sister she never had, "Lets go..." Ling said with a small grin, "Hey... she's like a mini Lillian." Shin said with a smirk. Lillian lifted Ling into her arms, "I wont let go, I promise..." Lillian whispered into Ling's ear.
Shin and Shane stood side by side with Crest right behind them and Lillian beside Crest, "Ready for some fun!" Lillian yelled with a large grin. Shane's shoulder's shook, "What is fun about this!?" Shane yelled with a small vein throbbing on his forehead. Shin shook his head before taking his stance, "Ready!" Shin replied. Shane followed his brother as he mumbled some curses, "On my count." Crest said. Lillian felt Ling's arms tighten, "3..." Lillian heard footsteps behind them, "2..." when Lillian turned she saw a familiar blue mask run towards them with a tea loving old man behind him and an army of Dai lee agents, "Wait!" Lillian yelled before she pulled her hood over her and Ling and covered her brother's faces as the held the lightning as long as they could, "Please help us!" Iroh begged, "We can't get out." Crest who now had his hood on nodded, "Stand behind those to and don't move." Crest yelled as he pointed at Shin and Shane. Iroh nodded before dragging the 'blue spirit' behind him, "1!!!!!" Crest yelled. The lightning exploded against the roof and then suddenly large powerful waves came crashing in. Crest bent the bubble around them. Shin and Shane turned swiftly and grabbed Iroh and Zuko and took off with Crest, Lillian and Ling following closely behind them, "I'm dropping the bubble now! Everyone take a deep breath and swim up!" Crest yelled as water flowed in. The bubble was gone and that was the Que for everyone to start swimming. Lillian and Crest took hold of Shin and Shane and used their wings to swim.
Everyone gasped as they tried to refill their burning lungs with air, "Let's get these men to the shore and then continue with our mission!" Shin said with a squeak to his voice from being nervous. Everyone nodded in agreement and shot out of the water, "What was that?" Lillian giggled at Shin as his face grew hot, "Shut it Princess." Shin hissed causing Iroh to snicker. Once they arrived at shore, Iroh and Zuko were dropped and not even given a chance to thank the Tenshi's for rescuing them but Zuko knew that they would cross paths again as they always do...
"Let's get you home..." Lillian said as she removed her hood and Ling's head popped out, "So...Does your brother's know about Lee?" Ling asked excitedly. Shin and Shane's faces filled with shock, "Whose Lee?" Shin asked "What happened to the other guy?" Shane added "The Prince of the- OWE!" Shin and Shane said in union as Lillian held them each at their ears, "Can we just get home please..." Crest begged as he slumped his shoulder's, "Boys who are nosy get a fist full of.-" Lillian didn't even finish before her brother's began begging her for forgiveness. Crest smiled and so did Lillian as the twins flew a head of them, "We've missed you." Crest said as he gripped Ling's hand and swung her between them, "I missed you all too, you have no idea." Lillian whispered.
