"DUCK!!!!" screamed liu. The flaming rock heading straight for them was clearly not stopping anytime soon. Everyone ducked, and the fireball missed sokka's head by centimeters. "AIEEEE!" he screamed (sounding much like a five yr. old girl). Aang immediately sprang into action. He hopped off Appa, opened his glider, and SSSSWISH! soared through the air in the direction which the fireball came from. "We've gotta get to the wall!" shouted Katara, and Appa quickly made his way down to the massive wall, almost completely repaired from the damage the drill had caused almost a year back. Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, and Liu jumped onto the ground on the inside of the wall, and prepared for battle.
At first, no one could see anything. Fog coated the area around the inner wall, which was usual at this time of year. Toph's feet saw them first. A small group of soldiers, or, at least, that's what the gang thought they were. In reality, however it was a team of rebels- to small to be an army- yet something felt wrong. These "soldiers" were just earthbenders and firebenders. Some with military training, some just mere peasants. But they were very strategized. There had to be someone behind this. A coordinator. It was strange. There had been some outbursts here and there in the earth kingdom, fire nation, and even the water tribe. But something about this one was strange- different than the others.
Toph, being Toph, took out the first rebels who came their way. Zuko and Katara jumped right in and fought off more of them. (ETC). Katara and Zuko left to see if Aang was okay, and if he had anymore knowledge about this mysterious attack than the rest of the team did.

"Who sent you?!" yelled Sokka. The earthbender they had captured was not exactly the type to keep quiet, and he told Sokka, Liu and Toph everything he knew:
"I am a former Dy Lee agent. I got a letter offering me a large sum of money if i went on a mission. I don't know her name. She is called "The Ring Leader." She has been running a few mobs and rebellions- word is, she is trying to start another war. They also say that she is creating a massive army- planning to wipe out a small village just north of Ba Sing Se. And i don't think she will stop there."

"Aang!" shouted Katara. Aang had tore down a small Catapult. There were a few rebels tied up sitting next to it. " I thought the war was over." Aang said as he gazed at the water that was just on the outside of the wall. it seemed never-ending. " I mean, i knew that there had been rebellions here and there- but this is more than that. This was a set up- a trap. This is wrong." Katara glanced it Zuko. " C'mon." She said sympathetically . "Let's get back and see what the others have found out about this." But they had no way of knowing that this little outburst was only the beginning.
