Chapter 7: Beggars Can’t Be Choosers
Everyone was gathered around the center of camp (except, of course, for the Earth King who couldn’t be convinced to take an interest in anything unless it was getting his kingdom back). Aang had erected a stone bench, almost more of a love seat, for himself and Katara. Momo was perched on his shoulder, nibbling on a nut. They looked curiously at Suki. Sokka was looking at her, expectantly, obviously not pleased. Toph was sitting on a rock of her own, head down. She hadn’t said a word all morning, but when Sokka had called her out to hear what Suki had to say, she’d come.
Suki was standing in front of everyone, unable to look any of them in the eye and shifting her weight anxiously from one foot to the other. She’d admitted to Sokka that she’d been lying. At the time she’d thought that that was the hard part. Then she’d told him that they had to get the others. She had to tell them all the truth.
“Suki?” Katara asked, gently prodding her.
“I’m sorry!” She burst out. “I’m so sorry. I lied to all of you. I betrayed you. I don’t deserve your friendship,” she was crying miserably into her own hands.
“Slow down, Suki.” Katara rose up and put her arm around the other girl. “It’s ok. Just tell us what happened.”
She took a moment to compose herself somewhat before she continued, though not much more cogently. “It was that girl. That horrible girl. She is so terrible. You can’t imagine.”
“Azula?” Aang asked.
“She killed the others. She killed all of my sisters, and even after that I couldn’t resist her. She made me her, her slave. She forced me to do things.” She started crying again.
Katara sensed where this was going. “It’s ok, Suki. You’re safe with us now. You don’t have to talk about it.”
“But I do!” She retorted through her tears. “You have to know.” She sniffled a bit. The retelling was becoming remarkable like that of the previous day. “She made me … pleasure her.” Sokka started at the word. Katara looked disgusted. Even Toph looked up momentarily, not that where her eyes were pointed made any difference in her perception of things. “Then her brother and her friends. I had to do whatever they wanted.”
“Suki…” Sokka moved to hug her, but she held her arm against him. Toph’s face fell again.
“I liked it.” Suki said, much to everyone’s surprise. “I feel so horrible admitting it, but I liked it. I needed it, and if she’d ordered me to I would have stayed there forever.” She looked around at the faces, each one confused and somewhat revolted by the statement, except for Momo who seemed to be enjoying himself immensely. “You have to understand.” Suki was almost pleading with them now. “She is terrible and evil and, and despicable, but at the same time, she’s so strong and beautiful and commanding. I couldn’t resist her. I tried. I hated her, and I cured her, and I spit in her face, but in the end … I, I wasn’t strong enough.” She looked at the ground again, ashamed of her weakness.
There was a long silence in camp as everyone took in what they’d been told. Toph was the only one to note that the story was decidedly not complete yet. “What happened?” She asked simply, surprising everyone with her first words of the day.
“She found out where you were. Someone spotted Appa a few days ago flying this way. She knew you were my friends because we were trying to protect Appa when they first found us.” Aang seemed somewhat pleased to find out that that much of the story, at least, was true. “So when she heard that you were near here she decided to send me, her loyal slave, to lure you back to the capital.”
“Back to Ba Sing Se?” Sokka asked, incredulous. “Why would we go back there? We barely escaped last time.”
“She knows that Aang is going to need someone to teach him firebending.” Suki said, looking over at the Avatar. “I was supposed to take you all to a town not far from here, and when we got there she was going to leave some kind of hints that General Iroh was being held in the Earth King’s palace and that she and her brother were going to be gone, marching Earth Kingdom troops to the sea.”
“What kind of hints?” Toph asked. “No one knows that she’s in charge now or about Iroh.”
“I don’t know.” Suki replied with a shrug. “She didn’t say. She only told me that when you found out, I was supposed to encourage you to break him out of prison to teach Aang firebending. Then you’d walk right into her trap.”
Katara and Aang exchanged looks. Sokka’s eyes were locked on Suki. “So why are you telling us now?” Sokka asked. He obviously wasn’t happy about being lied to. He’d cared deeply about Suki, and she’d betrayed them.
Tears began to appear in Suki’s eyes again. “You know why, Sokka.”
Katara knew what it meant, and more importantly what it meant to Toph, but there were other things they had to discuss, and Toph knew that better than anyone. “So what do we do now?” The waterbender asked.
“We have to leave.” Toph said quietly. “They know where we are. We can’t stay here.”
“That’s fine. We were leaving anyway.” Then she looked at Suki. “When things don’t go as planned Azula will know you betrayed her, and she’ll come for you and us.”
“I’ll go.” Suki said. “I’ll tell them that you wouldn’t believe me, and that you left in the middle of the night. Maybe it will buy you some time at least.”
Toph brightened, almost imperceptibly at the idea of being rid of Suki again, but Katara wouldn’t hear of it. “No.” She said firmly. “We won’t send you back there. There’s no telling what she’d do to you now. You’re our friend, and you’re coming with us.”
“But I,”
“No.” Sokka jumped in. “Katara is right. You have to come with us.”
“We have to go to Ba Sing Se.” Aang said calmly.
The other three turned to look at him. “What?!” Sokka exclaimed.
“We have to get Iroh out.”
“Aang,” Katara said, gently, “you can’t be serious.”
“The Day of Black Sun is coming.” Aang stated by way of reply. “I have to find a firebending teacher.
“We’ll find Jong Jong.”
“What if we can’t?” Aang replied. “And even if we can, how long will that take? We’ll be wasting days, maybe even weeks searching for him. We could get Iroh today.”
“A bird in the hand.” Toph said quietly.
“Yeah,” Sokka replied sarcastically, “only this bird isn’t in our hand. He’s in prison, and in case you’ve forgotten Azula and a small army are between him and us, just waiting for us to try what you’re talking about.”
“We don’t have a choice.” The Avatar replied grimly.
“Sure we do!” Sokka insisted. “We can run. Running is a choice.”
“Aang is right.” Katara said suddenly. Sokka shot her an incredulous look as well. Everyone was going insane. “Iroh is out best chance at finding Aang a new teacher. Besides, if we know it’s a trap, maybe we can avoid it.”
“Unless Azula knows that we know.” Sokka said. Now it was everyone else’s turn to look at him. “Think about it.” He told them. “Why would Azula send Suki, knowing she was our friend, knowing she might tell us everything. Why would she take that risk?”
“Because it wasn’t a risk.” Katara said, beginning to understand.
“Exactly.” Sokka affirmed. “She knew that she had the perfect bait. A firebending master right there for the rescuing. She’d know that we’d try to get to him whether it was a trap or not.”
“Then why would she send me?” Suki asked. She didn’t like being a pawn in this game.
Katara picked up the explanation. “She had to let us know where he was. For all we knew he was dead, or shipped back to the Fire Nation as a traitor. Now we know that they’re holding him in the palace.”
“So she knows that we’re coming, and she probably knows that we’re expecting a trap.” Toph summed up.
“All the more reason to just leave.” Sokka said. “She thinks we can’t resist getting Iroh to be Aang’s firebending teacher. She might not even know about Jong Jong. She might not know we have other options. We should take our chances and try to find him. Maybe Aang can communicate with Avatar Roku again, get him to tell us where to go.”
“I can’t.” Aang said.
“Why not?”
“I’ve tried, but since I woke up it’s like there’s something wrong with my connection to the spirit world.”
“What about the Avatar state?”
“I don’t know.” He admitted. “I’m really kind of afraid to try.”
“Then we go back to plan A.” Sokka said. “We search for Jong Jong on our own.”
“We don’t have time.” Aang said.
“I think Aang is right.” Katara said.
Sokka sighed. Apparently he wasn’t winning this one. “Ok, fine. How are we going to do this?”
“What?!” Suki said. “You can’t go there. That’s exactly what she wants. You don’t understand. You don’t understand how horrible she is.”
Katara, the most friendly to this point shot Suki a withering look. “We know.” She said darkly. “She nearly killed Aang. We only got away because Iroh held them back while we ran.”
“And now we have to help him.” Aang said, trying his best not to think about his last encounter with Azula.
“You don’t have to come, Suki.” Katara said, friendly again. “We wouldn’t make you go back there. Besides someone will need to stay with the Earth King.” She hesitated for a moment. “And if anything happens … well, we’ll figure out what needs to happen.”
“Ok,” Sokka said firmly, “let’s come up with a plan.”

Aang, Sokka, Toph, and Katara stood in the shadows, waiting for their moment. Ba Sing Se had two huge ring walls, and they’d made it past them both without incident. They’d left Appa far from the city and come the rest of the way on foot and by using earthbending. The large area between the two rings, mostly farmland on their first visit, was now occupied by large numbers of Earth Kingdom troops.
Toph had spoken barely a word to Sokka since they’d left. For his own part Sokka hadn’t pressed the issue. He was not eager to initiate what would certainly be a rather awkward conversation. He knew that Toph knew what had happened. He hadn’t realized it at the time, but as soon as he saw her the next morning he knew. He didn’t feel guilty, not exactly. He’d told Toph how he felt about Suki before anything began between them. What he wasn’t sure of were his feelings for Suki now, after what she’d revealed to them or how he felt about Toph. He’d been doing his level best to avoid thinking about it, concentrating instead on the plan.
It was dark now. They’d waited till night set in before bending their way up the outer wall. Now they were within site of the palace, and they were waiting for the right moment to move in. The Dai Li had agents patrolling everywhere in the city.
“Are you sure we can’t try to get in through the crystal caves?” Sokka asked again.
“For the hundredth time, Sokka,” Katara was getting tired of him proposing the same thing over and over, “Azula knows about the ancient city and the caves. She’ll probably be expecting us to try exactly that, and once we’re down there a few earthbenders could trap us there.”
“Yeah, ok, I get all of that, but I still don’t see how going through the front door is a much better plan. Besides which, I don’t know about you, but trying to figure out what Azula is expecting when she knows that we know that she knows that we know it’s a trap, or whatever we finally decided, is giving me a headache.”
“We’re not talking about this anymore.” Toph declared and then stepped forward. She’d been using her bending sense to watch in the darkness and let them know when it was clear. “It’s time to go.”
They crept up the stairs and made it into the palace unchallenged. Once inside the team moved quickly and as quietly as possible. The palace was strangely deserted. At least it seemed that way with Toph guiding them circuitously along empty corridors to avoid the Dai Li guards roaming the palace.
After a considerable amount of walking they made it to the door which led to the sublevels. They were fortunate in that they’d avoided notice that far and even more fortunate that there wasn’t a guard on duty outside the main door. They knew they couldn’t hope for the same situation once they made it into the dungeons, but the longer they could avoid detection, the better.
They made their way down the stairs and eventually reached the first level of the dungeons. The plan was straight-forward enough. They’d been in the dungeons below the palace before. Toph and Sokka had been taken prisoner along with the Earth King just before their escape, and they knew it best. There were two levels. As they understood it, the lower level was composed of metallic cells, made for holding prisoners who were earthbenders. The cells on the upper level had metal doors but those were surrounded by stone. Within each level there were winding passages lined with cells, designed with the intention of disorienting and slowing down anyone who did manage to escape from a cell. Toph and Sokka had learned that first hand.
The team would split into two. Iroh wasn’t an earthbender, but he was a bender, and a powerful one. So they couldn’t be sure which level Azula would be keeping him on. Sokka and Aang would take the upper level. Since Toph was the only one capable of bending metal, she and Katara would search the lower level. They knew that both teams could be expected to face heavy resistance, but they had to work fast, and all four of them were more than capable of taking care of themselves. Katara had even brought along an extra skin filled with water. She wouldn’t run low on bending supplies.
Sokka and Aang broke off and began heading down the first corridor. Toph and Katara continued downward, farther into the dark depths of the dungeon. The cells on the first level all had barred openings in the doors, small windows that allowed the heroes to see into the cells. This meant that they made rather rapid progress. Most of the cells were completely empty. Small, filthy mattresses, or in some cases just piles of hay were all there was to see in most cases. Apparently Ba Sing Se didn’t have much use for these cells, at least not at the moment, or maybe Azula just had more harsh methods for dealing with prisoners.
Every now and then they’d come across an occupied cell. It was quite late by this time, and every resident of the dungeon that they found was asleep. They didn’t bother to wake any of them up. The last thing they needed was criminals begging to be taken with them, or worse yet, raising an alarm. The first was obviously too young to be Iroh. The second was far too small. The third was a woman. They moved past each in turn, taking special care no to make too much noise.
Sokka was rather concerned by the fact that they had yet to meet a single guard or soldier since their arrival. Certainly Azula had replaced the normal guards with Dai Li agents. She wouldn’t want to let more people than necessary know about their new ruler. And, of course, the Dai Li had limited resources to have men in the city, in the palace, and in the dungeons 24 hours a day. They were probably stretched pretty thin. These were all the things he kept telling himself. The truth, he knew beneath all of the hopes that he was trying to pass off on himself, was that Azula almost certainly expected them to do exactly what they were doing. She may not have known exactly when or how, but she knew it was coming. She should have had an army waiting for them. The fact that they had yet to encounter any resistance gave the feeling of walking every deeper into some plan of Azula’s that was so clever, they hadn’t managed to grasp the intricacies of it yet.
They peeked around the next corner and spotted a guard standing near one of the cells. It was almost a relief to Sokka. Finally something that looked as they expected it to. He motioned for Aang to stay back. The guard looked tired, almost like he was ready to drift off to sleep. He’d probably been on duty for some time. If he’d been more alert he would have easily spotted their heads when they poked around the corner.
Sokka decided to take full advantage of this and peeked around the corner again. The guard didn’t see him. He was stupidly looking directly ahead, breathing slowly, probably bored out of his mind. Sokka took a moment to aim, and then threw his boomerang. It soared through the small passageway and connected squarely with the guard’s head, causing him to crumple to the floor, unconscious.
Sokka and Aang moved quickly forward. They peeked into the cell’s small window. Through the darkness they could perceive a shape, about the right size to be the firebending master they were after. They could even see what looked like grey hair beneath the scrawny blanket.
They looked at each other and nodded, both agreeing that they seemed to have found what they were looking for, but Sokka was very concerned it had been far too easy. There was no way Azula would make it that simple for them to get to Iroh. He motioned to Aang and the two of them took a few steps back along the corridor.
“It looks like him.” Aang whispered.
“That’s what worries me.” Sokka said. “You stay back here.” He told Aang. “I’ll get the guard’s keys. If it is Iroh, then I’ll get him and come back. If it’s not then you’ll be able to get the drop on them after they’ve sprung their trap on me. Just wait for the right moment.”
Aang nodded his understanding and backed up into the shadows, against the door to an empty cell and discovered that its last occupant had left it slightly ajar. With the apparent lack of new prisoner’s and the darkness of this particular corner it had gone unnoticed. He opened it a bit more. Fortunately it made very little noise. If he needed to he could jump inside and use it as a hiding place while he awaited his moment to come to Sokka’s aid. He didn’t know what to expect, but the worst case scenario was that Azula’s whole gang was inside that cell, and if he could hide until at least one of them passed and surprise them, the fight would be much easier.
Sokka crept forward and carefully, quietly lifted the guard’s keys from his belt. It was actually just one key, which at first threw Sokka. Why only give a guard the key to one cell? Then he decided that it made a strange kind of sense. If you overcame one guard then his keys couldn’t be used to stage a massive breakout. Keeping the keys separate might actually be a good idea. Then he thought that it didn’t really matter why they did it as long as the key he had opened the cell in front of him. He tried it in the hole and gave it a turn. It made a groaning sound that seemed incredibly loud in the near-silence of the dungeon. Then there was a loud click, and the door hung loose.
The water tribe warrior pressed the door open slowly, hoping desperately that it didn’t squeak or anything. It moved impressively smoothly. A narrow shaft of light was making its way through the open door into the cell, illuminating the person apparently sleeping on a pile of hay. Sokka still couldn’t be sure it was who they were looking for. He took a step forward. “General Iroh?” Suddenly he felt a meaty hand lash out at him from the darkness, knocking him to the side, and the cell door slammed shut behind him.
Aang was watching intently and saw the door fly closed again. He began to move forward when he heard a female voice cry out, “Look for his friends!” Aang jumped backwards even more quickly. There was more than one of them, and just rushing in might very well get him captured right along with Sokka. So he ducked into the cell he’d found and closed the door just in time. The room was completely dark, but looking out the window he could see four large men in Dai Li uniforms rush from the room that Sokka had entered and cast around, looking for Sokka’s accomplices.

A torch flared to life illuminating the cell, which was actually larger than it had seemed from the outside. “Well, hello, cutie.” Sokka heard. He looked up to see Ty Lee, sitting on the pile of hay, several pillows and a grey wig lying next to her. He could hear the four Dai Li agents talking to each other outside as they ran down the corridor, looking for any sign of someone else. With the one who was holding Sokka’s arms firmly behind his back, that made five Dai Li agents still to be dealt with, not to mention the girl in front of him. Ty Lee just smiled sweetly at him for a moment.
“You wasted your time coming here. Where are your friends?” She asked him after the other four had returned with nothing to report.
Sokka didn’t say anything. The guard holding his arms put intense pressure on them for a few seconds, presumably to let Sokka know that the consequences of not cooperating would be extremely unpleasant.
Ty Lee stepped forward and ran the back of her hand along his face. He did his best not to react. She seemed like the cutest, friendliest, sweetest person you could ever meet, if it wasn’t for the things she did and the company she kept.
“I don’t want to hurt you.” She told him, sounding earnest. Then she lowered her voice a bit, as if confiding a secret to him, “but they do.” She cast a glance at the Dai Li agents, who did in fact look like they might enjoy hurting him. “And I’m going to have to let them if you don’t answer my question.”
Sokka had really expected Aang to come flying to his rescue by now. What if something had gone wrong? Although he couldn’t imagine what that might be. They’d obviously not captured Aang or they wouldn’t be asking. Whatever the trouble Sokka faced the very real possibility that he might be on his own, and he had to think fast.
“What’s a pretty girl like you doing this for anyway?” Sokka asked.
Ty Lee perked up, giving a little smile at the question, but she wouldn’t be sidetracked. “I appreciate the compliment, cutie, but you can’t get off the hook that easily. Tell me where your friends are. Then we can talk about how pretty I am.”
Sokka felt the pressure in his arms again and had to fight back a yelp of pain. “Ok.” He said. “I can tell you what you want to know, but only on one condition.” They both knew he wasn’t in any position to be negotiating, but the words were just coming out of his mouth now, more out of desperation than from any sort of plan. “If I help you, promise that I’ll get to see more of that incredible body.”
Ty Lee smiled again.

Aang waited until two of the four Dai Li agents had passed him and were looking the other way, searching for people. Then he decided that it was his moment, and he tugged at the door preparing to leap from his hiding place. It didn’t budge. He pulled on it with all his might, but it didn’t give a single inch. He was astounded. He’d locked himself into the cell. It hadn’t even occurred to him in that moment when he closed the door to hide from Azula’s men that he might not be able to get back out just as easily. Now this unpleasant truth hit him like a ton of bricks.
He weighed his options. With a little skillful airbending it was possible that he might be able to take some of the Dai Li agents out through the small window. It was a long-shot, but he might be able to do it. Of course that didn’t fix the problem of him being stuck, and there was no telling who else was in that cell with Sokka.
He felt the door. Solid metal. He really wished Toph had taught him more about metalbending. She’d explained to him the basics of the technique. You had to feel the metal, finding the earth that was still within it and bend that. Unfortunately his senses were nowhere near as attuned as Toph’s. He did not, however, seem to have a lot of choice in the matter. He decided that his best bet was to try to bend the metal door. It had taken Toph hours to manage it. He could only hope that as the Avatar his learning curve might be a bit steeper. He sat down cross-legged, places his hands against the door, and began to concentrate. He only hoped that Sokka would be ok until then.

Sokka was not at all sure where the statement had suddenly come from. Women’s bodies had been on his brain (and other parts of his anatomy) a lot lately, but once the sentence left his lips he felt the full force of how ludicrous it was. Ty Lee on the other hand, was looking him up and down, seemingly sizing him up and considering his offer.
“I think we can deal.” She said, even her tough voice and expression seemed somehow cute and sweet. “Tell me where they are.”
“They’re on the roof.” Sokka said. Ty Lee gave him a look that let him know that she did not believe him. “No, really,” he continued, “we flew in on Appa, but the others thought it might be a trap. Since I’m the most stealthy one they sent me down to scout out the area first. They’re waiting for me to come back.”
“They sent you all the way into the dungeons alone?” She asked incredulously.

Sokka saw the rather large flaw in his story, but just as quickly an explanation occurred to him. “I wasn’t supposed to come all the way here. I was just supposed to sneak into the corridors, find the dungeon entrance and see how many people were guarding it, but when I didn’t find anyone there, I decided that maybe I could get to Iroh on my own.”
The explanation made a little more sense, but Ty Lee still didn’t quite believe it. “Let him go.” She ordered the man holding Sokka. He did as he was told, and Sokka swung his arms away and rubbed them a bit.
Ty Lee got very close to him, leaning forward so that their noses were almost touching? “I think you’re lying.” She said quietly.
“What good would lying do me?” Sokka asked, trying to sound as desperate as he could. “You’ve already got me, and it doesn’t look like I’ll be leaving any time soon. Besides, my friends can take care of themselves, even better than I can.”
Ty Lee considered this for a moment, and decided that he was right. They had him over a barrel, as it were. He was in the dungeons alone, and if his friends didn’t know where he was, they probably wouldn’t be coming for him any time soon. So lying wouldn’t help him. There was still something that didn’t sit right with her about his story, and she knew exactly what it was.
“You three,” she said, looking at the Dai Li agents, “get a squad together and head up to the roof to check in with Mai’s people.” They’d stationed Mai on the roof to be prepared in the unlikely even that the Avatar and his friends were stupid enough to try to fly into the city. The three men quickly obeyed her orders, leaving as fast as they could manage. Their footsteps quickly disappeared down the hallway.
Ty Lee looked to the two remaining men. “You two wait outside.”
Sokka knew that if he was going to stand a chance on his own he needed as few people to deal with as possible. He took a step forward. Ty Lee was on guard, but he held out his hands to show he didn’t mean any harm. He beckoned her forward so he could whisper. “I don’t think we need an audience.” He said, hoping desperately that his ploy would work. “Besides, I doubt I could do anything to you that you didn’t want me to.” He smiled at her when he finished the last sentence, and she grinned back.
“On second thought,” she said, “you two take him,” she indicated the man still lying unconscious on the other side of the doorway, “to get some help. I’ll complete the interrogation of this prisoner myself.”
They seemed a bit hesitant to leave her all alone, but they wouldn’t argue with her either. So after a split second of indecision they nodded, picked the injured man up between them, and left as well.
Ty Lee took the key and closed the door. “Now you can’t get out without this.” She informed him, “and you can’t get this without going through me first.” She dropped the key in the far corner and approached Sokka, this time putting her arms on his shoulders. “So what did you have in mind?” She asked, somehow the cute sweet disposition had turned suddenly into something incredibly sensual.
“I don’t know.” Sokka replied. He put his arms around her, his hands resting on the small of her back. “You’re the ‘interrogator.’ I think you’re supposed to tell me what to do.” As he said it he moved his face slowly closer and closer to her’s, going in for a kiss, but only two-thirds of the way.
“You are so right.” Ty Lee whispered back to him as she closed the remainder of the gap and brought her lips into contact with his.
Sokka pulled her body closer to his as they kissed, pressing his lips tightly against hers. He didn’t know where Aang was, but if he could help he would have done it by, certainly since all of the Dai Li agents had gone. So he had to assume that there was no help coming. He’d managed to get rid of the Dai Li, but that left Ty Lee, and she was more than enough trouble. He had her distracted, but she was deadly, lighting fast, and could disable him completely with a few movements if she wanted. He hadn’t been far off when he said he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her that she didn’t want. If he was going to make it out he had to act quickly and unexpectedly, which meant playing along and picking his moment.
The kiss seemed to last for a long time. It was visceral, powerful, and not unenjoyable. When Ty Lee finally pulled back, she moved backward a couple of steps and gave Sokka a long, appraising look and then another of those sweet smiles. “Ok, cutie,” she said playfully. “I’m in charge. So you take those clothes off.”
“Whatever you say.” Sokka said, and he began to loosen his robes. She watched eagerly, her eyes filled with a child-like excitement as Sokka’s clothes gradually fell into a pile beside him. His fit, dark body revealed to her, including his cock, already hard from the kiss and the anticipation.
Ty Lee’s eyes and her toothy grin widened at the sight, and she began to move forward. Sokka held out his hand. “I believe we had a deal.” He said.
Ty Lee was confused for a moment, and then she remembered the wording of their agreement. “You’re absolutely right.” She told him, and she began removing her own clothing. For a moment Sokka thought that his chance might have come. She was distracted, and if he could make his move while her hands were busy with her clothes …, but he was standing feet from her, nothing that he could use to hit her with except his bare hands, and if he didn’t disable her with the first blow she would have a chance to fight back, which could end in disaster. He’d have to keep waiting.
Sokka watched her quickly strip off her robes. As waiting went, this wasn’t bad at all. Ty Lee was almost unbelievably slim. Her body was obviously quick and powerful, but it managed to be those things without much apparent muscle mass. Her breasts were just slightly larger than might be expected on a frame so petite, and they were beautifully formed, pressing forward proudly. Her figure was so smooth that Sokka’s eyes seemed to slide right over it, settling for a moment on her hairless mound and small pussy before continuing down her long, slender legs.
“So?” She asked, seeing him complete his visual tour of her nude form.
“Incredible.” He replied simply, and he meant it.
“Thank you, cutie.” She smiled and came towards him again, embracing him and planting another kiss on his lips. This time as they kissed her firm breasts and hard nipples poked into chest, and his erect cock pressed up against her belly. This time when she finished she stepped back and plopped down on the pile of hay. She spread her legs wide, wider than he would have thought possible, and then looked up at him. “Get to work.” She told him teasingly.
“Yes, ma’am.” He said. Sokka stepped across the room and fell to his knees. Then he proceeded to practically dive into her crotch. She giggled at his apparent enthusiasm. Her slit was the smallest he’d seen. It looked like it belonged to a child, and Sokka couldn’t help but think about how orgasm-inducingly tight is had to be.
He ran his tongue along the area in between her pussy and her legs on either side of the opening, teasing her somewhat. She wiggled her hips with excitement. He repeated the process, moving the tinniest bit closer each time, and each time she wiggled or squealed with anticipation. Finally he made contact with her outer lips, running his tongue slowly but firmly along their length, and she let out a satisfied sound.
Sokka maneuvered his hands so that they could assist him. He used his thumbs to spread her nether-lips as far apart as he could manage, and he plunged his tongue inside, wiggling it and rubbing it all along her love tunnel as far as it could reach, like some demented earthworm tunneling haphazardly into the ground. Ty Lee seemed to enjoy it immensely, thrashing a bit, and Sokka thought for a moment that he even heard something akin to the sound made by a small household pet.
Sokka spent quite a while licking, prodding and teasing her pussy. For one thing, he was really enjoying it, but mainly he needed her to be enjoying it as much as possible. There could be no doubt in her mind that he was into it or he might never find the opening that he needed.
With every moment that passed and every new lick or rub the lithe young acrobat ground her pelvis into Sokka’s face more furiously, and the noises she made became louder and more frequent. Finally when he could sense that she was very close, he attacker her clit with his lips and tongue, sucking and teasing it mercilessly.
Ty Lee went over the edge. Her whole body was wracked with spasms for several seconds, making it hard for Sokka to maintain his precarious hold between her legs. She made a sound somewhere between a moan, a howl, and a scream, amazingly loud. Then she went completely rigid and juices began to gush from her quim at a rate that Sokka had never imagined possible. His face, already soaked in her tasty pussy juices was suddenly deluged, and he had to back away for fear of being drowned.
He took the moment to look around for something he could use while she was distracted by her orgasm. He spotted his club, sticking out of the pile of clothes he’d discarded, but it was too far away. If he made a move for it, there was no way he could get there in time. At best the fight would become him with a weapon against Ty Lee who didn’t need a weapon, odds he’d faced before and didn’t relish facing again. He’d have to wait a bit long, try to maneuver her in that direction.
In the short time it took Sokka to go through these thought processes Ty Lee had already begun to recover from her toe-curling orgasm. Her body went limp on the hay again, and she took several long, deep breathes. “That was incredible.” She told him admiringly.
“I’m glad you liked it.” He returned.
“I think I’ll ask Azula if I can keep you.” She said absently. She was already looking at his still-erect cock. It hadn’t gotten any attention yet, and the look on her face told Sokka that she intended to change that.
She closed her legs and then spread them again, once, then twice, as if trying to make sure they still worked like they were supposed to. “Second round.” She told him. “Why don’t you bring that big thingy of yours over here, and we’ll see what it’s made of.” She spread her legs wide again to indicate what she had in mind.
Sokka said nothing, but just moved forward, positioning himself between her legs, but suddenly she stopped him. He looked back at her, and she grabbed the sides of his head, pulling it toward her as if to kiss him again. “You got very messy.” She said coyly. “Let me help you.” Instead of moving to kiss his lips she stuck her tongue out and licked his face, wiping off some of her own copious juices. “Mmm,” she purred. Sokka found the entire experience rather disconcerting, but he let her do it. She went back two or three more times, licking his face until she seemed to think she’d retrieved all of the liquid that she could expect to. Then she kissed him again. He could taste her juices on her own lips, and it was incredibly strange but somehow unbelievably erotic. He kissed her back hard, snaking his tongue into her mouth, possibly hoping, somewhere deep down, to retrieve some of the juices that she seemed to treasure so much.
When they broke the kiss his face was still soaked, although mostly with saliva now. She grinned at him. “Get back to work.”
He nodded and went back to positioning himself so that he could fuck her. He reached underneath her, grabbing her tight ass cheeks and lifting her up slightly to give himself better access. She was light. He didn’t expect her to weigh much, but she was disconcertingly insubstantial. The thought briefly popped into his head that he might break her if he was too rough. He quickly told himself how ridiculous the idea was. Ty Lee was petite. She was soft (so soft). She was not fragile. He’d seen her take down men in battle more than twice her size, and at the moment she seemed very eager to have him plow into her. Definitely not fragile.
Once he’d gotten her just where he wanted, he teased her a little bit, rubbing the head of his cock up and down along the short length of her slit. She squealed, “Ooo, you’re sooo mean.” She sounded unnervingly like a child begging for a treat.
He stopped moving, leaving the tip of his dick pressing lightly just beneath her clit. “I could stop if you want.”
“Noooo!” She cried desperately. “Fuck me!! I need you inside of me …, uh, cutie.”
Sokka realized something, and decided to take advantage of it. “If you can say my name I’ll fuck you all you want.” Ty Lee looked a bit embarrassed. “You don’t know my name, do you?”
Ty Lee looked around as if it might be written on the inside of the cell somewhere, carefully avoiding Sokka’s gaze as she tried to come up with a response. Finally she seemed to come up with something. “Hey, I’m the interrogator here. I’m asking the questions, and I’m giving the orders, and I order you to fuck me!”
She was starting to sound upset, and Sokka knew that he should give in. He had to keep her happy if he wanted her to drop her guard long enough for him to strike, but somehow the whole situation was just too much fun. He couldn’t resist pressing it a little more, but he needed to keep her interested.
He rubbed his cockhead along her pussy lips again and flicked it against her clit. She thrust her hips toward him, but he was just as quick, pulling his own back just far enough to keep her from getting what she wanted.
“Maybe I’m tired.” He said, still teasing her gently, frustratingly, with his dick.
“Oooohh!” She moaned, frustration and desperation mixed. “What do I have to do? I’ll do anything.”
If he thought for a moment that she meant that he would make any number of demands. He’d ask for the key, for directions to where Iroh was being held, details about the trap and about Azula’s plans, but he knew that when she said “anything” it didn’t extend nearly that far. “Beg for it.” He told her.
Ty Lee didn’t hesitate. “Pleeeeease! Please fuck meee!” She sounded even more like a little girl, and Sokka relished it.
“Say, ‘Please fuck me, Sokka.’”
“Sokka!” She declared, finally finding his name, now that he’d shown her the way. “Please!” She begged. “Please fuck me, Sokka!”
“Ok.” He said, and he unceremoniously plunged his cock inside of her.
Ty Lee let out a loud bark at the sudden penetration. He’d sunk fully half of his considerable length into her with one stroke. Sokka had been right about one thing. She was incredibly tight. It was certainly not her first time with a man, but she hadn’t been with many as well-endowed as her current partner, and none of them had had an easy time getting their members all the way into her. Her body was so small, so compact, that it just didn’t leave a lot of room for part of anyone else’s, but Sokka wasn’t the type to give up easily.
The upside was that she was wet enough for five girls, and that lubrication allowed Sokka to keep pushing. The other upside was that her warm, soft, undulating inner walls felt more incredible than anything he had ever imagined. He would swear that he could feel her pulse with his dick.
The going was much slower on the second half of his descent into the acrobat, although neither of them seemed at all put out about it. In fact they were both having the time of their lives, because Ty Lee was enjoying it just as much as he was. She could feel the sensation as every square millimeter of Sokka’s member slid against her insides, setting the pleasure center of her brain on fire.
When he’d finally managed to bury himself inside of her completely Sokka paused for several seconds to savor the accomplishment and the sensations that accompanied it. Given her size, he felt like he must have fucked her up into her stomach, but she certainly wasn’t complaining. In fact she was making small excited noises every few seconds.
Sokka wiggled his hips a bit, trying to maneuver his penis around inside of her some, something his other partners had seemed to enjoy, but Ty Lee’s vice-like love tunnel left very little maneuvering room. Though she squealed nonetheless.
He began to pull back out, eliciting more yipping sounds from his partner and setting off a whole new set of sensations, as the bulbous head of his dick began scraping back against the whole length of her sensitive interior.
When he was almost all the way back out he thrust back in, as hard as he dared, driving Ty Lee’s back against the stone wall, but receiving a positive response nevertheless. He made it a little farther down her rabbit hole this time, but after that the going was just as tough as before. He decided a new tack might be in order.
He pulled back out and plunged his dick in again. Although he couldn’t really be sure he felt like he’d made it even farther on the first plunge that time, which added credence to his new plan of attack. He began a campaign of penetration, slowly, steadily, and firmly pulling almost all the way out and then thrusting back in, going a little further each time. Each thrust was powerful enough to rock her small form, pushing her against the stone wall behind her, but she moaned and squeaked and barked with pleasure at each thrust, pushing her own hips back against him.
After several minutes of steadily plowing ahead Sokka was able to reach his limit much more quickly. He could go almost to the hilt with every thrust of his hips, although the final stretch always required an extra little push, causing each thrust to become something of a double thrust, which they both found incredibly sexy.
As Sokka rutted against her, gradually increasing the pace of his thrusting, Ty Lee grew quickly toward climax until she had another screaming/barking orgasm, pressed between Sokka and the wall.
Sokka very briefly regretted the fact that he was still too far away from his club to take advantage of her moment of distraction (somehow the thought of banging her head against the stone wall never occurred to him), but he doubted that he could have stopped himself at that point even if it was possible, not before he’d cum at least once. He continued thrusting through her orgasm, which seemed to intensify the experience for her, and once again her love juices were flowing from her, all over his own crotch. Their encounter had suddenly become very wet and very loud.
When Ty Lee came down from her climax to see Sokka plowing relentlessly into her she kissed him again, and she simultaneously pushed him backwards. The completely unexpected maneuver caught Sokka off-balance and he toppled onto his back.
His hands still cupping her firm ass, Ty Lee went right along with him, his dick never leaving her soaking snatch. When he looked up she was sitting proudly, triumphantly on top of him and he was lying flat on his back.
“The hay and the wall were really uncomfortable.” She told him. “Besides, I like being on top.” Then she took over where he’d left off and began bouncing up and down on his cock, her hands resting on his chest. The addition of her seemingly inconsequential weight (or maybe it was the extra lubrication from that juicy orgasm) provided the extra push necessary to sink Sokka’s manhood fully into her with every bounce, and bounce she did, fucking away happily as if she hadn’t a care in the world.
Sokka watched her child-like grin, her incredibly adult-like figure, and even her long ponytail as it jumped and flew around her, and he thought about how incredibly sexy the whole package was. He was involved with Suki (he’d told Ty Lee as much the last time they met). He was sort of involved with Toph (way too complicated to even think about), but he found himself thinking, as he watched the happy energetic little girl bouncing away on his dick, that he could really care about her, if it wasn’t for all the evil and the trying to kill him and his friends. He had to quickly remind himself of that last part before he got too carried away. He could fuck her, and he could even enjoy himself, but he had to remember why he was doing it.
The young acrobat paused for a moment and gave Sokka a look that said, very clearly, “watch this.” As he watched she placed her hands on the floor, lifted her legs at an impossible angle and used her hands to spin completely around on the axis of his dick. She turned 180 degrees before letting her legs back down. She was now facing Sokka’s feet and looked back over her shoulder at him with a self-satisfied smile. Then she leaned forward, placing her hands on the ground and began to fuck him at a break-neck speed. She bounced her pussy up and down on his shaft with no apparent concern except for taking them both over the edge.
Ty Lee climaxed again, but at that point Sokka was so close to his own that he didn’t take much notice, using his hands under her thighs to keep up her motions as he went over the edge. He let her fall all the way onto his dick, still in the throes of her own orgasm, as he went into his. Cum shot through his stiff dick and blasted into her pussy. She was so tight and so soaked with her own love juices that there didn’t seem to be much room left for the fluids that he was introducing into the equation, and it all quickly began to ooze out between the two of them as the waves of sensual pleasure overtook them both.
When his head had begun to clear a bit Sokka saw Ty Lee, now facing him again, smiling down at him. He reached up, almost instinctively and brushed her face with his hand, then took the opportunity to roll one of her incredible nipples between his fingers.
She giggled. “I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.”
Then Sokka realized the implications of a statement like that. She thought they were done, and he hadn’t reached his weapon yet. It was just a few tantalizing feet away, but there was no way he could get to it. He’d missed his chance. He’d been distracted by sex, incredible sex, no doubt, but he’d let his chance to escape slip through his fingers. It couldn’t be over. He couldn’t let it be over.
“That’s all?” Sokka asked, sitting up and trying to get a good mix of disappointment and challenge into the two small words. Ty Lee had already lifted herself off of Sokka’s rapidly deflating cock and onto her feet.
She looked back at him in surprise. “You mean you still want more? Most guys just …” she seemed to consider his statement. He needed to press harder.
“Well, I’m not most guys, and I thought you were the kind of girl who might enjoy another ride.”
“I don’t know.” She said. “I really should report back to Azula.” She didn’t seem too enthusiastic about that idea, but she cast a doubtful glance back down at his softened cock.
He saw her gaze. “I might need a little help getting ready again.” He told her, “but I’m a long way from finished.” He looked at her, hoping that he was hiding his desperation now and communicating only the challenge. He couldn’t let her know how desperately he needed to continue.
He could see her arguing within herself, but he could see in her eyes the hunger. She was insatiable. He knew it in that instant. She could never get enough, and she always wanted more, and all she needed was an excuse.
“Well,” she said, biting her lip just slightly, in a way that Sokka thought was incredibly cute, “you are all messy again. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to help you clean up, and if something happens …” She’d given herself all the reason he needed, and she was quickly on her knees.
She’d been telling the truth. Sokka was awash with her juices and his own semen, and she quickly went after it all, licking up. She started on his belly where a lot of it had pooled while he was lying down and moving on toward his cock and then his balls. Halfway through she paused, and looked up at him, a sinister grin on her lips. “You have to help clean me up too.” She said innocently.
Sokka wasn’t sure at first what she meant, but he quickly found out. She pushed him onto his back and swing her body around so that her cunt was right above his face. It was dripping with a mixture of their fluids, and Sokka was momentarily disgusted at the prospect of policing his own cum, but he also knew he had no choice. If he waited too long the whole thing might end, and he couldn’t let it. He looked quickly toward his clothes. He’d managed to move a bit closer, but still not nearly close enough. So he put his hands on her hips and with a lot of trepidation pulled her sopping entrance to his mouth.
He tasted her carefully. He knew the taste of her juices, but now it was mixed with something else. He knew what it was but preferred not to think about it. It was salty and had a texture that just entirely failed to have anything pleasant about it. He suddenly felt bad about all of those times a girl had swallowed his seed. He couldn’t believe he’d inflicted this on people he cared about. Of course both Toph and Suki had commented on the taste and the sensation in a generally positive way. Ty Lee certainly seemed to be enjoying it. She was attacking his genitals relentlessly with her tongue, which had the added effect of bringing Sokka quickly back to full hardness. Maybe girls were just made with different tastes. He tried it again. Very different.
He didn’t go about it with nearly the enthusiasm that Ty Lee did, but he did his part, and the oral treatment he gave her seemed to make the young girl very excited and more than ready for another round.
She moved around Sokka and went down on her hands and knees, waving her butt playfully and provocatively at Sokka. Sokka was delighted to see that her movement brought them several feet closer to his weapon, and he quickly moved into position behind her. He was familiar with this position. Toph loved when he fucked her like this, and he quickly slipped his cock into the small acrobat, ready to fuck her into another orgasm at which point he could make a dive for his club. Seeing no reason to start out slow again, he slammed all the way into her in a single thrust, and she yipped in response, but before he could pull back and repeat the motion she stopped him.
“That feels great, cutie, but I was thinking we might try a different hole this time.” Sokka had no idea what she meant, and he said so. Ty Lee was a bit surprised that he’d never tried it before. She thought everyone would have, but she was excited at the prospect of being his first. “It’s just a little bit higher.” She prompted.
Sokka looked down. His hands were holding firmly to either side of her ass, and his dick was buried inside of her pussy. He let his eyes move upward from her cunt, and all he saw was … “You don’t mean!”
“I do.” She said. He was finally getting it.
“You want me to stick it in your butt?”
“That’s the idea.” She wiggled it at him again, creating a whole new sensation for his cock.
“But,” he began.
“Don’t worry. You’ll love it. Trust me.” She waited patiently for him to follow through.
Slowly Sokka pulled his dick out of her cunt and hesitatingly placed the head up against her tight brown-eye. He pressed forward slightly, but her sphincter didn’t budge. “I don’t think it will fit.” He told her.
“It’s tough.” She said. “That’s half the fun. Just push, hard.”
He wasn’t at all sure about that statement, and he certainly didn’t trust her, but it was this or give the whole thing up, and the second option wasn’t an option at all. He grabbed his own cock with one hand, and he placed the other firmly on her back. Ty Lee shivered with anticipation.
Sokka repositioned himself at her hole, and then pressed forward as hard as he dared. He didn’t want to hurt her, and he certainly didn’t want to hurt himself. He felt the tight hole move slightly as the very tip of his dick passed the threshold. Now feeling that maybe it was at least possible he pushed even harder, and with a modicum of effort his cockhead popped past the barrier and was buried in her ass.
Sokka was, quite frankly, amazed that it had worked, although if he hadn’t been so thoroughly lubricated by saliva and pussy juice he might never have made it.
“WOO!” Ty Lee squealed. Apparently she’d found it rather enjoyable. “That was the hard part.” She said a moment later. “Now comes the fun part.” With that she shoved her whole body back toward him, forcing his cock deeper inside of her ass hole.
Sokka thought that her pussy was tight, but her asshole was like shoving his cock into a solid wall only to have more space suddenly appear just in front of it. He was grateful for his brief trip into her pussy because this hole was considerably less moist, but somehow it still felt incredible. It was a whole new kind of incredible, but it was just as real. He pressed forward, fighting for every inch as he made his way deeper into her ass.
Ty Lee wiggled, squaled, barked, and giggled with every press forward, and after one particularly loud squeak Sokka found himself unable to go any deeper. Instead of trying to force the rest of his dick into her he began to make his way back out. As always the trip back out was completely different and even more intense, as the underside of his cockhead scraped its way back out. The same principle that made their fishing hooks so effective made fucking even more enjoyable.
As he pulled back out from his first attempt to plumb the depths of this new hole, Ty Lee came to another screaming climax. It caught Sokka so off-guard that he didn’t even think to put his plan into action.
“Oh, God, Sokka!” She cried out, surprising even herself by using his name. “That was amazing. Fuck my ass hard. Fuck my brains out.”
Not one to disagree with someone while his dick was inside of her, Sokka pressed forward again. The second trip down her corn hole was a bit easier than the first, and Sokka soon fell into a rhythm. Before long Ty Lee hit another climax. Sokka didn’t want to stop. He was really enjoying it now. Being inside of her ass felt so amazing, but he also knew he couldn’t afford to let another chance pass. So as a compromise he used the opportunity to get closer to his weapon.
As she came he lifted the young girl up off of her knees and fell backwards. The end result was that he was sitting, his bare flesh on the hard, cold, stone floor, and she was in his lap, his dick still buried deep in her ass.
His weapon was just behind him to the right, and he used each thrust into her ass as an opportunity to inch a tiny bit closer to it. After what seemed like an eternity with the practically weightless girl bouncing up and down in his lap he was within reach of the club.
Ty Lee was completely oblivious to her surroundings as she approached yet another orgasm. Sokka regretted ending their encounter prematurely, but he knew his moment had come, and as she began to scream out her final orgasm of the night Sokka grabbed his club and bashed her in the head with it.
Ty Lee was immediately completely limp in his lap. Sokka pulled her off of him and laid her on the floor, quickly checking to make sure he hadn’t killed her. She was the enemy, but he couldn’t bear to think that he’d killed her, not after what they’d just been through together. She was unconscious, but otherwise fine, although she would have a bump and a nasty headache when she came to.
He moved toward the key, keenly aware that he still had a raging hard-on. He picked up the key and turned to retrieve his clothes. The sight of her unconscious body, the beautiful young girl, lying there completely nude, only aggravated his predicament. He knew he shouldn’t but he just couldn’t help himself.
Sokka turned her over onto her back and got down on his knees, taking one leg under each arm he lifted her lower body up and positioned himself to once again penetrate her butt hole.
This time he didn’t hesitate. He shoved his cock in and began thrusting into her as rapidly as he could, desperate for a release before he had to leave to find his friends. He fucked into her hard and fast. It was easier now, although whether she was looser because she was unconscious or because he had been fucking her for several minutes already wasn’t clear, nor was it of any concern to Sokka. Within a minute or two Sokka felt his body wracked with orgasmic spasms as he shoved his dick as far in as he could and shot his seed into the unconscious girl’s anus.
Once he pulled out he lowered her gently to the ground, and began to get his clothes on. As an afterthought he took Ty Lee’s clothes with him as he unlocked the door, hoping that if she came to she would be less likely to follow them if she was naked. He closed the door behind him, locking her in, and set off in search of Aang and the others.
He wasn’t at all sure how long he’d been in the cell with Ty Lee, but he was sure that he needed to hurry. If the others had encountered the kind of trouble he had they’d need him, and even if they hadn’t, they’d been there far too long. He didn’t have time for stealth, and he decided to risk it and deal with the consequences.
As he ran back the way they’d come he yelled, “Aang!”
“Sokka?” He heard. It came from behind him, very close to the cell he’d just left.
He backtracked a bit. “Aang?” He said, speaking normally now that he knew his friend was so close.
“In here!” Aang called.
Sokka traced the voice back to a cell and looked into the window. The Avatar’s face was looking back out at him. “What are you doing in there?”
“I accidentally got locked in.” He said, not a little embarrassed by the confession. “I’ve been trying to use metalbending to get out, but I can’t get it to work.” He was desperate to prove that he hadn’t been idle while Sokka was in danger, despite the fact that his efforts had been fruitless. “Can you let me out?”
Sokka glanced at the key in his hand, which Aang had apparently noticed. He tried it in the lock, but it didn’t fit, and he remembered his earlier conclusion about each guard having only the key to the door they were guarding. “The key won’t work on this door.” Then he looked around. “Why didn’t you just earthbend your way out?”
“What?”
“The walls are made of stone.” Sokka reminded him. He knocked his fist against the wall by way of demonstration. “That’s why they don’t keep earthbenders up here, remember?”
Aang had never felt so incredibly foolish in his entire life. He quickly made a hole in the wall large enough to walk through and then joined Sokka on the other side. Any number of jokes occurred to Sokka at that moment, but, uncharacteristically, he decided that it wasn’t the right time, although he’d torture Aang later when they told the girls about it. At the moment there were other concerns. He threw the acrobat’s clothes into the cell Aang had just vacated.
“I don’t think Iroh is here.” Sokka told Aang. “Ty Lee said we were wasting our time by coming here. I think we need to find the others and get out of the palace.”
He began moving quickly down the corridor. Aang cast a curious glance after the clothing Sokka had discarded and then hurried to join him, and soon they were running back down the empty corridors. “Ty Lee?” He asked Sokka. “How did you get away?”
“Long story.” Sokka replied.
“I thought I heard.”
“Long story.” Sokka repeated firmly, ending the conversation.

Katara and Toph had found the lower level of the dungeon just as deserted as the upper one. Unfortunately for them, the cells on the lower level had no windows. Out of necessity the floor and walls in the hallway were made of stone, and even a window was too much access for a decent earthbender to have to his or her native element. So they had to find another way to figure out which cell their wayward firebender might be in.
The first few doors Toph simply ripped off of their hinges. They were all empty. Bending that much metal promised to quickly wear the young girl out. Even the world’s greatest earthbender had her limits. Katara also pointed out that simply ripping the cells open might mean accidentally releasing dangerous prisoners. The last thing they needed (aside from Azula and her friends finding them) was to have to deal with earthbending criminals while they searched for Iroh.
Toph decided to experiment a little with the next door. She pressed her hands against the metal, feeling the fragments of earth inside of it, the foundation of the new discipline of metalbending. Then she tried to reach farther, using her bending sense to feel the whole of the metal cell.
After trying for several minutes, she realized that it wasn’t working. She pounded the door in frustration. Then she paused again, taking in something. She hit the door again, not frustrated, but curious. Then again and again. Somehow hitting the metal let her “see” farther. As the metal clanged and the door vibrated ever so slightly she could feel the metal in other parts of the cell. The more she concentrated and focused the more she could feel with every strike.
Before long she could feel the metal on all six sides of the cell. The floor, however, gave her the most information. By extending her sense and focusing on the reverberations of the metal in the floor she could just make out what was there. The room was empty, a small pile of hay in one corner. At least she thought that’s what it was. It was hazy, not at all certain, like looking through a piece of dirty glass.
She quickly moved on to the next cell. She took four minutes to focus in on the floor of the cell and discover that there was nothing there, not even the hay. She needed to find a cell with someone in it, if only to prove that she really could tell the difference.
Katara watched with confusion. Toph was concentrating very hard, and she seemed to have made some headway, at least the water tribe girl assumed that’s what had happened. Toph hadn’t seen fit to communicate any findings to her, but she didn’t want to break the earthbender’s concentration. So she let Toph do whatever it was she was going and kept an eye on both ends of the passage, making sure that Toph’s knocking didn’t draw any unwanted attention.
After several minutes at the next cell, Toph allowed herself a small triumphant smile. “There’s someone in there.” She could feel the person, even get a general idea of their build. The person was sleeping. She thought it was probably a man. Very thin. He’d probably been in there for quite some time.
“Is it Iroh?” Katara asked.
“No,” Toph said, slightly irritated that the waterbender was raining on her parade, “but the point is I can tell that there’s someone there.” Unfortunately, she could tell just how long the passageway was, and it was only the first. “Come on.” She said. “This is going to take a while.”
With every cell Toph shaved a little bit off of the time it took her to figure out what was inside, but at her fastest it was still taking a minute or two for each cell; longer if the cell was occupied and she had to try to figure out if it was who they were looking for.
The vast majority of the time that Sokka spent with Ty Lee was spent by Toph and Katara examining empty cells and watching for guards that never came. Eventually, about the time that Sokka had begun plowing his rod into Ty Lee’s “other” hole, Toph sensed a guard standing around the corner.
The guard had been hearing strange noises echoing down the corridor for quite some time now, but he was under extremely strict orders not to move from his post, no matter what. So he nervously maintained his vigil. He didn’t dare defy Azula. She was too damn scary.
Toph used the floor beneath him to smash the guard into the ceiling before he ever knew anything was wrong. He fell back to the ground unconscious as Katara and Toph rounded the corner.
Katara took the key from his belt. “He was guarding this door. Iroh must be in there.” It was a rather foolish error for Katara to make, but she’d become rather impatient with how long things were taking and was eager to finish the mission and get out before they encountered any real problems.
Fortunately Toph was as patient and steadfast as a rock. She stopped Katara before the dark-skinned beauty could slip the key into the lock. “A guard at the door doesn’t mean it’s who we’re looking for. Remember, they’re probably expecting us.
Katara was a bit embarrassed that she’d let herself fall for such an obvious trick. She prided herself on being the one who wouldn’t rush into making a mistake like that, although there were certainly times that it had happened. She stepped back and allowed Toph to work her magic.
Inside the cell Azula was waiting impatiently. She’d come up with a great plan, but the waiting was interminable. She’d stationed Zuko and a large contingent of Dai Li agents in and around the crystal caves of the ancient city. That seemed like the most probable way for the Avatar to make his entrance, but refusing to put all of her eggs in one basket, she had people patrolling the area outside the palace. Mai was on the roof with several Dai Li men. It was unlikely that the Avatar or his friends could get in without encountering someone. Even if they did, Ty Lee was in a cell on the upper level, made up to look like Iroh’s with as many men as would fit into the room without someone outside noticing. If they searched the cells, they would certainly encounter her first.
In the extremely unlikely case that they made it past all of the others, Azula was waiting in the cell just before Iroh’s with Iroh’s guard standing outside her cell. If they made it all the way here, they would have to take out the guard and open the cell, concluding that Iroh was inside. Even if they had their suspicions, they would have to open the cell to find out what was inside. When they did, she would be waiting with a blast of lightning for the first person through.
She didn’t know, of course, about Toph’s new ability. Nor was she aware that the guard outside of her cell had already been incapacitated. She hadn’t heard a sound from within her metal enclosure, but that was an intentional part of the design. Very little sound made it in from the outside. She did, however, soon begin to hear a very small sound of someone seemingly tapping on the door. She knew that it might just be the idiot guard she’d stationed outside, but it could just as easily be a prelude to what she’d been waiting for. She tensed up and poised to strike as soon as the door opened.
Toph used her newly developed skill to feel the inside of the cell in front of her. There was someone in there, but she realized quickly that it was not Iroh. In fact, it felt like … She turned to Katara and whispered, “I think it’s Azula.”
Of course, Katara thought. She was now very glad that Toph had stopped her from opening the door. “Toph, we should go.” She whispered back. “If Azula is in the cell Iroh might be long gone. Besides, she could come out at any moment. She must have heard you knocking on the door.”
Toph saw the wisdom of the statement, and she was inclined to agree, but then she got an idea. A wicked grin crossed her face. “I’ve got a better idea.” She placed her hands in front of her, palms up, and quickly jerked them upward, causing a large section of rock to rise in front of her. Then she moved her hands to the left. The stone slab followed her motions and was soon wedged firmly in front of the metal door. “She won’t be going anywhere.” The earthbender said with a smile. “But let’s hurry before her friends show up to let her out.”
They moved quickly on to the next cell. Toph was determined to complete the process faster than ever before. She reached out and knocked on the door gently. Much to both of their surprises they heard a gravely voice reply. “Come in.”
Katara jumped and very nearly yelled in surprise. Toph took a step back, put off for a long second by the unexpected occurrence. “I think we found him.” She said after a moment.

“Sounds like it.” Katara agreed. “Let’s get him and get out of here.”
Toph nodded in agreement, and with a swift motion pulled the metal door from its hinges, an event that was accompanied by an incredibly loud noise.
Azula jumped to her feet. She’d certainly heard that, and it had come from Iroh’s cell. Somehow they’d seen through her ruse. She rushed to the door, stuck her key in, and flung it open, only to find herself facing a wall of solid rock. She slammed her fist against it and screamed. Seeing how ineffective that was she stepped back and launched a blast of lighting at it, expecting it to fly to pieces as she’d seen stone do in the past when faced with her firebending might, but the dungeon stone was incredibly dense. The blast of lightning chipped away at its surface and left some cracks in its face, but it remained stubbornly unbroken. She prepared to try again, as many times as she needed to.
Katara, Toph, and Iroh heard the scream. It was unnerving for everyone, but Iroh was more surprised by the people he saw entering his cell. “What are you doing here?”
“We’re here to rescue you.”Toph said. Everything else could wait until later.
“Rescue?” He seemed like he might object to the idea, but he heard another scream and the unmistakable sound of lighting coming from very nearby. “Ok.” He said finally, and he let them direct him out of the cell and down the corridor, leaving the rather unpleasant sounds of Azula’s rage behind them. “What about my nephew?” He asked.
“We can talk about that when we’re safe.”
On their way up the stairs they met Aang and Sokka coming the other direction. “You found him?!” Sokka exclaimed, much surprised.
“Yeah,” Katara said, “but Azula is probably right behind us.”
“And Ty Lee isn’t far behind us.” Sokka told them. Aang looked at him curiously, still not completely sure what had happened, although he had his suspicions.
“Then we’d better head up.” Aang said, and he pulled his bison whistle from the pouch at his waist.
“Mai is on the roof, and she’s probably looking for us right now.” Sokka said.
“How do you know that?” Katara asked him.
The young warrior shrugged. “Long story.”
“We’ll figure something out.” Katara said, ignoring the cryptic response. “Let’s go,” and the party, now five strong, started back up the stairs into the palace.
