Aang reveals himself as the Avatar and requests he be taken to their leader. Earthbender soldiers approach them and question their reasons for coming to the Outer Wall. Ying hopelessly states that they had reached Ba Sing Se and they still were not safe. Upon arrival at the top of the wall, Aang indicates the advancing drill. Moments later, Toph and Aang use earthbending to transport everyone up the Outer Wall, as Sokka asks "Now what's so big that Appa has to wait?" He warns them of an oncoming danger approaching Ba Sing Se. Aang flies down on his glider followed by Momo and lands in front of them. Meanwhile, Team Avatar approaches Ba Sing Se along with Than, Ying, and their newborn baby, Hope.

Mai immediately sheaths her dagger and moves to execute Azula's order, musing that she finally has something to do.Īzula's team and War Minister Qin follow their progress from inside the drill.
Azula concurs with Qin's claims, but orders Mai, who is sullenly twirling a dagger out of boredom, and Ty Lee to take the earthbenders out just to be safe. Ty Lee questions whether the earthbenders guarding the Outer Wall are capable of halting it, to which Qin objects by stating that the drill's metal shell is impervious to any earthbending attack, emphasizing his point by striking the periscope Ty Lee was looking through. War Minister Qin boasts about the drill's magnificent ingenuity and its capability of breaching the walls of Ba Sing Se. The command module for the drill ascends from the top, where congregated inside are Mai, Ty Lee, Azula, War Minister Qin, and several Fire Nation soldiers operating the machine. Steam is released from its pipes and metal spikes lodge into the surrounding land. Several segments of the drill extend forward, elongating the machine. Several Fire Nation tundra tanks rumble across the rugged terrain toward the Outer Wall of Ba Sing Se, the enormous Fire Nation drill following close behind. Meanwhile, Jet wishes to recruit Zuko as a member of the Freedom Fighters, only to learn Zuko and Iroh are firebenders. Aang and the group succeed in demolishing the drill from the inside of the mechanism. However, he discovers a Fire Nation drill heading straight for Ba Sing Se, intent on destroying the wall. Having successfully navigated the Serpent's Pass, Aang is determined to journey to Ba Sing Se in the hopes of finding his lost bison, Appa.
