Chapter 124
…
Sokka stood there, still as water. It took every ounce of control he had not to show how angry he was.
The feeling of his dry throat from all the heat of the fire that was thrown around before, his slightly crispy skin. Since coming to this world, he had never felt quite this angry.
'No, I shouldn't get angry. That won't help me in any way.'
Taking deep rhythmic breaths, he calmed himself down. Feelings of annoyance ...

-Aang-
It was a massacre. He saw it very well from atop the wall. Bodies strewn about, and the screams… Oh, the screams were horrible.
When this battle started, Aang had been worried about the casualties of the Gaoling City. But it wasn't the screams of earthbenders that were ringing out as the battle went on.
Many surprises came to light during this battle, Sokka's waterbending and how tactically pruning h...
Chapter 122 - Napoleon
…
Captain Li wasn't a happy man.
First, he had been under General Zhao when he attacked the Avatar and his team in the Fire Sages Temples. He had been the second in command there.
Then his leadership had changed to Azula during the Northern Water Tribe attack. He had been the second in command there, though she never listened to his council. Captain Li would have normally been annoyed at a brat not listening to him, but the gi...
Chapter 121
…
Sokka could feel his heart beating crazily, and the strange chilling heat in the air. Despite the weather being rather pleasant for today, no cold winds or dry breeze.
He stood atop an ostrich horse and at the front of the battle. Hundreds of people stood behind him, he couldn't call them soldiers, because they weren't that.
With Appa and Aang to his right, and June to his left atop Nyla, her pet.
In comparison to ...
Chapter 120 - Battle of Gaoling
…
The attack had been cleared, an assassin sent by the Beifong Family, and their colonel met him in an open field. Yet the Earth Kingdom’s richest family had broken their honor and attacked Colonel Oa and killed him.
Captain Li from a neighboring camp had taken charge, as an army was gathered. The Fire Nation’s information network had supplied that even at its best Gaoling couldn’t raise more than a thousand soldiers.&...
(Warning: Gruesome descriptions.)
Chapter 119
…
The Fire Nation had many military camps around the Earth Kingdom, it was the biggest Nation amongst the four after all, so it required a lot of personnel to keep hold of what the Fire Nation had already gained there.
Even amongst all of them, Camp 187 stood out. Or as the presiding soldiers called it, Golden Duck Camp. Working here was a dream for everybody, you got paid extremely well and there was barely any fig...
Chapter 118
…
The white-haired man continued following him. Not even bothering to hide his presence.
What is he thinking? What are his intentions? Fun Shi didn't know, he didn't have the mind for these kinds of things. Never bothering to get involved in conflicts Lord Beifong didn’t need him for.
But there was a limit to everything and Fun Shi wasn’t a fool. He could see that the white-haired man knew something.
“If you're not g...

-Lao Beifong-
‘Who the hell does this bastard think he is?!’ Lao Beifong clenched his fists in righteous fury. Having a bratty teenager talk to him like that fueled the raging anger within him.
When did the Beifong Family become something any bare feet brat could come and insult?!
“Guards!” he called out, and immediately a tall and broad shoulders man, wearing green earthbender armor walked in.
Immediate...
Chapter 116
***
Azula wasn’t a sentimental girl. Most people to her were like tools, and the secret leader of Ba Sing Se wasn’t any different. He let ego and insecurity get in the way, he liked to think that he had everything in control and wanted to prove that to both her and himself.
Prover themselves to others? Only weak people do that. Why would someone with true power need to prove anything to anyone?
As her fingers dug into Long Feng’s nec...
Chapter 115 - Meeting Of The Original Crew
***
"Yes," in the end she agreed. There was uncertainty in her voice, but she agreed. "But I will still hold you to your deal," she pointed at Sokka. "Convince my father that it's okay to fight against the Fire Nation like this."
"Jeez, can't you go easy on me?" Sokka asked, already knowing the answer as a small smile came to his face.
"No, you did tell me that being selfish is okay." Toph insisted.

Chapter 114 - Aang’s New Earthbending Teacher?
…
Everyone seemed out of words after what I had said. Well, better not let this become awkward.
“Anyways, Aang, I have found you the perfect earthbending teacher,” I decided to change the subject. “She’s one of the best earthbenders that I have ever met.”
Between Bumi and Toph, it was a debate on who was the better and stronger earthbender. Sure, Bumi was way past his prime by now, but Top...
Chapter 113 - Sweet Sister
…
-Sokka-
My sister rushed toward me. I took her into a deep hug. "There, there," I rubbed her back reassuringly. "Did you miss me?"
"No I didn't," she said, even as I felt her tears staining my shirt.
What a strong-headed girl. There is nothing bad about admitting a loss every now and then, it builds character.
The people that were walking down the road and some shopkeepers gave us a side-g...
Chapter 112 - Twists In The Darkness
…
In the dark, damp cells of Ba Sing Se, eerie darkness surrounded the quiet underground prison. The dimming light that came from the torches in the hallway, was like a flickering sign of hope that didn’t exist. A tortuous sight for many to bear, crushing their will of ever getting out of here.
Amongst these dark cells, one of them stood out due to its bigger door, it was made for its current resident.
Even t...
Chapter 111 - A New Monster is Born
***
Azula walked through the roads of Ba Sing Se as if she owned them. Arrogance seeped through her, which made it clear to everyone she was not an average girl. The clothes she wears are green, like those of a standard but well-dressed civilian. But her demeanor, on the other hand, was all noble.
It made Mai anxious. She has no idea what Azula was doing and just followed along. Azula didn't share her plans with anyone. Kuzon ha...
Chapter 110 - Peace at Heart
***
Crumbling, breaking, shattering.
That was what Sokka thought as he watched Earth Rumble, the tournament that Toph would win again undoubtedly. He was looking from the sidelines, originally he had planned to convince Toph to come with him over a longer period of time and built trust between them. But he had to rush things, which made some things less certain.
‘Seems like even Aang and Katara weren’t able to find the...
Chapter 109
***
Sokka rode atop the Nyla, his hands grasping June's sides as she carefully rode. He was a little perplexed why she would do something like this? Sure, he had the time, but she was being too careful, making sure that Nyla didn't run too harshly.
'Why the hell was she being so careful?'
Sokka was perplexed… and he didn't like not knowing something. But he shook his head, deciding to dismiss such thoughts for now. If for some reason June deci...
Chapter 108
***
June was shocked, but she didn’t know how to confront him about this and instead decided to dodge the problem back off first. As she went back, her mind raced.
'How is this possible? By how much blood he coughed out, then the sickness should be in its later stages. He should be close to death.'
As if to prove her point, Sokka fell to his knees and a rumbling cough rang out of his lungs as blood spilled from his nose and mouth. It was a pitiful...
Chapter 107 - Getting Light
***
Does the Spirit Water work on curing Toph's blindness? He had no idea. In the original show, it was hinted that it would be able to heal Zuko's scar, and it had healed Aang who was in a comatose state.
But could it heal a person that was born blind? He didn't know. Would someone like Sokka base his plan on something he wouldn't have any control over and didn't know? Obviously not. In this world he didn't trust Heaven or Earth, he only t...
Chapter 106 - Hopes of Light
***
Lao Beifong, a man of many talents. He had to be so, to not only have his family keep the same wealth his father had built, but also increase it.
Going back three generations, his family was nothing too special. But now it has become the most respected and powerful family within the Earth Kingdom. Of course, this had all started with their ancestor teaching Avatar Roku Earthbending. That was when the family started becoming powerful.
Chapter 105
***
Hours passed and the morning light shone.
Toph who was underground also woke up and frowned as she sensed that Sokka was still up there waiting for her. He didn’t seem at all perturbed as he went and made a camp, lighting some fire and cooking some birds he caught by using his spear as a projectile.
She couldn’t read him at all. Not only that, but his actions were strange, there was no logic around them. At least that...
Chapter 104 - Calm Before The Storm
***
Sokka took a sip of the expensive orange juice or whatever it was, this world had some fruits that he wasn’t too sure about. Even most of the animals were crossbreeds between the animals in his first world, though there are some animals like cats and some others that he has found are still the same.
Lao Beifong… was strange. Sokka couldn’t try and scheme this, as Toph would be angry if he scammed her father or anything l...
Chapter 103
***
It didn’t take long for Toph to get a hang of metalbending, showing that while she might be blind, she made up for such a 'weakness' by being the most talented earthbender alive.
But as she was morphing dozens of chunks of metal in her room into different shapes, a bead of sweat rolled down her cheek. Not having a lot of exciting things to do in her life, Toph usually spent it training and learning more about the new art of metalbending.

Chapter 102 - No Help Comes for Free
…
Sokka had calculated the risks involved in the plan to get Toph to his side. Amongst the many things, one major change stood out the most.
Toph's confidence in herself. That was the biggest risk involved with the strategy he is using.
In the original series, she had figured out metal-bending by herself. So that had built within Toph unbreakable confidence in her abilities. But now, Sokka had roughed up that plan and made...
Chapter 101 - Animals
***
Was Sokka's luck with women getting worse? No, he knew that if there was one thing that he believed in himself, then it would be his fate-defying luck. Still, he could see that Toph wasn't willing to join him, and no amount of Luck could manipulate her mind.
But of course, like any other stalker, he wasn’t going to give up so soon. Though he wouldn’t consider himself a creep, just someone who does stalker-like behavior. Sokka shook ...
Chapter 100 - Innocent and Dangerous
***
-June-
She could feel it, like the kiss of cold wind, Sokka was… strange. Having grown in a rough part of the Earth Kingdom, June knew how to read a certain kind of people. There was an aura around them. No, there's no vile aura, nor is their appearance something that might draw suspicion.
But as she saw what Sokka did, a chill ran down her spine. Though no matter how hard she tried to dismiss such a feeling, June ...
Due to the anti-vaxination mandate happening where I live, I had to move out, as the situation was getting pretty violent. Now everything is fixed and I will be back to the usual update schedule, daily.
P.S: I will make the chapters longer than average to compensate for the missed time.
Chapter 99
***
Ozai getting married? Sokka felt a chill run down his spine as countless bad scenarios played in his head within a split second. But he crushed such fear as soon as it came and calmed down. All of it happened so fast, that to June it seemed like he did not react at all.
‘Why is that bastard getting remarried? Does he want a new child? Has he already lost hope in Azula?’
Sokka needed to turn the situation around and knew that a third child being b...
Chapter 98 - Big News
***
June’s bewildered look showed her feelings on Sokka quite clearly. But he wasn’t bothered by her scrutinizing gaze, being used to women looking at him like that, and instead, he observed her pet. “This guy is quite fast, right? Like faster than most animals and probably could run faster in longer distances than me.”
“He is not for sale,” June stated firmly, getting up from the ground and pulling at her whip that was wrapped around...
Chapter 97 - The World Bleeds
***
Upon a remote Fire Nation outpost, a lone man stood amongst a field of corpses. There was no scratch in his body, nor any blood in his clothes.
His gaze was cold as he stared at the dozen or so survivors who cowed back in fear.
What they had seen wasn’t something a simple human could achieve. “P -Please spare our lives,” one of the women in the group bowed. “I -I will do anything. Please don’t kill me,...
Chapter 96 - Starved Sights
***
Omashu had been taken over by the Fire Nation and there wasn’t anything that could be done about it.
“We have to go and save Bumi!” Aang was about to have Appa fly towards Omashu. But Sokka stopped him and put a hand on his shoulder.
“Aang, calm down,” his voice was sharp like a razor. “Think about it. Bumi was a king the people admired. Killing him would only give the people a reason to be angrier about a...
