Chapter 17

The Battle for Ba-Sing-Se

(Set During Sozin's Comet Pt.2 & 3)

The Order of the White Lotus stood before the titanic main gates of the enormous Earth-Kingdom capitol city. Iroh glared at the Fire-Nation banner obscuring the Earth-Kingdom seal on the doors. He, Jeong-Jeong and Piandao were ashamed of what their fellow countrymen had done. Iroh breathed deeply, feeling the comet's energy fill him a sense of great power; the kind of power a fire-bender could only experience once in a century. From a single finger he shot an enormous blast of fire at the banner; it burst into flame, and disintegrated in moments; revealing the symbol of the true masters of the city, not it's usurpers.

Iroh nodded to Bumi, who snorted and cackled before earth-bending the entire section of the cliff they were standing upon away from the mountainside and hurtling it towards the wall. They crashed through the outer wall; and then the White Lotus leapt into action. The Battle for Ba-Sing-Se had begun!

Paku made a slide of ice that took Piandao and Hakoda over the inner wall, where the Fire-nation swordsman and the Water-tribe warrior made short work of the enemy infantrymen guarding it. Paku followed them down bending the ice back to liquid in time to create a wave that overturned and washed away a phalanx of Fire-nation tanks that was rumbling towards them.

Jeong-Jeong, riding aloft on a column of flame; sent a wave of fire at another group of tanks coming from the opposite direction and turned the tank treads to slag, immobilizing them. Two more tanks; and an armored personnel carrier were bringing reinforcements to the battle when they were tossed twenty feet into the air and flipped by huge pillars of stone that erupted from the ground beneath them; courtesy of King Bumi.

The White Lotus quickly, and methodically, fought their way through the city, section by section. Even the fire-bending defenders, with their comet-enhanced powers were no match for the diversity and fearlessness of the forces arrayed against them. A force which included two fire-bending masters who, even without the comet's influence, were considered among the most experienced and powerful fire-benders in the world.

Finally, the White Lotus made it to the palace, at the center of the great city. It was the most heavily guarded location in Ba-Sing-Se. Both Fire-nation troops and their Dai-li collaborators came swarming out as the Order of the White Lotus charged in. Despite their superior numbers; the palace's defenders were no match for the formidable expertise of Iroh and his colleagues.

Once inside the palace, they split into two groups; Iroh, Hakoda, and Paku went to the dungeons to free the people Azula's agents had unjustly imprisoned. Bumi, Piandao and Jeong-Jeong rooted out any remaining pockets of Dai-Li resistance.

When Iroh and his team arrived at the palace dungeons, they were frankly, shocked at the sight of the prisoners. They looked as if they hadn't seen the sun in months, or years. And, most of them looked as if they hadn't eaten in a while, as well. One of these haggard faces stood out to Iroh. It was wan, and covered with grime, and it had been some time since he had seen her; but Iroh recognized his long-lost sister in-law, Ursa, immediately!

Like the other prisoners, she was weakened from the appalling conditions in the cells, but a light came back to her eyes on seeing Iroh. "Iroh," she asked; "Is it really you?" "Yes my sister, it is me, and today is your day of liberation.

The rest of the order didn't waste any time setting the other poor wretches in the dungeons loose while Iroh helped Ursa outside. She winced, and tears came to her eyes in the sudden transition into unfamiliar light. "It is alright, Ursa," he told her, "keep your eyes shielded until they have adjusted, I shall guide you."

Once he was sure his fellow White Lotus members needed no assistance down in the dungeons, Iroh began treating Ursa's injuries, her wrists and ankles were raw from the tight shackles she had been forced to wear. She had never been an especially powerful fire-bender, but like all members of the nobility in their homeland she did carry the gene for the trait. As such, the Dai-li were taking no chances. They had taken similar precautions with all of their 'bending' prisoners, fire, water, and earth benders alike.

"General Iroh! Come quickly," Paku's stunned shout came from another cell further down the corridor. Iroh was still supporting Ursa, so he couldn't run, but he moved as fast as his sister in law's battered condition would allow.

The other members of the White Lotus order, hearing Paku's shout, came also. Like Iroh, they were also supporting rescued prisoners; all of them were wearing tattered, but recognizable clothing of their homelands. There were Fire-Nation burgundies, reds and gold, Earth Kingdom dark and light greens, Water Tribe light and dark blues with white accents. But when they saw the prisoners in the cell Paku was standing near, their minds were too stunned to register what they were seeing for a few moments.

The White Lotus members as well as Fire Lady Ursa and the other prisoners saw huddled in the darkness of this final cell a group of people wearing garments of dark and pale orange shades. And, even though their hair had grown in, there was a barely visible outline of something in a pale blue shade beneath the shaggy black or brown locks. "We must get the knowledge of who, and what, we have found here to Avatar Aang and Prince Zuko as soon as possible!" This came from the ancient king, Bumi.

It was a surprisingly lucid suggestion from one who usually spoke in riddles and non-sequiturs. Ursa's weakened form suddenly came to life; she seemed years younger and much more vital, than she had been only moments before, upon hearing the name of her beloved son! "Zuko; is he here?" she asked Iroh, hopefully. "No Ursa, but if providence smiles upon us, and him; you will be reunited soon.
