Back at the fire nation docks run by commander Zhao. Zuko, Khai Li, and Iroh were currently listening to resent battle plans told by Zhao himself. He was facing a map of the world on the wall of the tent, showing all four nations and the various landmarks. Zuko had his back to Zhao still angered by having to be in the same tent as Zhao, Khai Li sitting next to him on his left trying to give him some sort of comfort for this situation, while Iroh was to the right side of the tent looking at the various spear-like weapons Zhao had collected.

"Unless you've found some evidence that the Avatar is alive," Zhao replied, Zuko's head shooting up from where he was looking.
"No," Zuko replied, looking away from Zhao once more. "Nothing."
"Anything you would like to share Khai Li?" Zhao asked.
"No, we haven't found a thing." Khai Li replied quickly almost stuttering, trying to avoid Zhao's gaze while cursing to herself how stupid she sounded as Zhao turned back to Zuko.
"Prince Zuko, the avatar is the only one that can stop the fire nation from winning this war," Zhao informed, getting up from his chair where he had been sitting and walking closer to Zuko, getting in his face. "If you have an ounce of Loyalty left, you'll tell me what you've found."
"I haven't found anything," Zuko shot back at him keeping his cool. "It's like you said, the avatar probably died a long time ago, come on Khai Li, Uncle, we're going,"
Zuko got up from his seat, walking forward, after bowing and saying her farewells to Zhao, Khai Li close behind Zuko when the guards inside of the tent pulled their weapons in Zuko's path and two new guards grabbed Khai Li by her arms to keep her from attacking or moving, one of Zhao's subordinates walking forward into the tent, going past Zuko and Khai Li to get to the commander's side.
"Commander Zhao, we integrated the crew as you instructed." the subordinate said. "And they confirmed Prince Zuko had the Avatar in his custody and allowed Khai Li to
"You think you've found Deathmask because of some wood on the ground that might not even be from him?" Eagle asks skeptically.
"Sorry, you, uh, find anything?" Zain asked as he returned his foot to solid ground.
“I don’t know, but we need to look for information before we can go back.”
“But, where did they come from?" she asked. He glanced at her, smiled, but did not answer her question
“Yes, actually.” The captain eyed her carefully, waiting for any false move. He saw none so far, “Prince Jyushimatsu and Prince Ichimatsu were seen talking to a girl before they approached the soldiers.”
"and remember we don't have our abilities, don't even think about using them. You have to rely on your fighting skills" Zakkery was going all Alpha mood on us. Giving out orders and demands here and there, in every passing direction "Max trained everyone of us, so we should all be good"
“Well,” Ikaika stutters,”when I fell into the cave, I got covered in a mysterious yellow goo that was never classified. I have also been feeling a little weird these past couple of days.”
"When you were going for Tazuna, I only let you cut my arm so my blood would be on your sword. With that my dogs could instantly track you."
Troy glanced back at the report in his hand. “Found on the second story landing with his face shot off which was why he couldn’t be identified. Died instantly.”
“Oh, look,” Zoe shields her eyes from the bright sun. “Here come the others. I guess you’ll have to wait to get your answer.”
Aranloth stared bleakly into the fire. “I don’t know. But if I don’t discover the reason for their increased strength…” he paused, “or the artifact that they’re now using, then I cannot prevent further attacks. They’ll certainly try again. They nearly succeeded this time.”
He spat out before she interrupted, "It could be a group of unknown humans from VigorNourish targeting Primordial, or not. No one knows for sure if Quinn had anything to do with the Airmed loss."
“It’s not...are youngest was missing for 3 years because of research..." Sylvester didn't look at her directly from his side of the couch.
"Will you go to fight on the other side? Will you fight against your own kin? Will you spill the blood of your beloved people whom you swore you loved above all else?!" The king raised his voice in a fit of rage. But he calmed himself down, and allowed for Astrid to speak.
