Riyan was still behind the outcropping, and was not visble to Lan Shen as she let the steam clear. Under his breath, he muttered, "Mother, watch over me........ and it's time I ended this battle...."
He waited for the dawn.

"Correction water bender, I asked you to give her up to us, and we wouldn't have to fight. You made the first move by trapping me in ice." Maiku said sounding annoyed with the water bender.
"About those two over there fighting, Lan Shen, the girl over there is with my rescue party. That guy started fighting with us because he wants to protect the water tribe for some reason. Is that enough for you because I really feel like helping my friend if you don't mind." He added

The steam cleared away and everyone was completely visible. Nokoro discovered that it was the Firebending girl who did this. When everything seemed a little clearer because of the disappearance of the steam, Nokoro felt like things were a little less confusing.
Correction Waterbender, I asked you to give her up to us, and we wouldn't have to fight. You made the first move by trapping me in ice., the Firebender replied to his explanation. Nokoro sensed annoyance in his tone, and became a little annoyed himself that the Firebender didn't understand what he meant.
Then, before Nokoro could say anything, he continued, About those two over there fighting, Lan Shen, the girl over there, is with my rescue party. That guy started fighting with us because he wants to protect the Water Tribe for some reason. Is that enough for you because I really feel like helping my friend if you don't mind. Nokoro couldn't believe that the Firebender fighting Lan Shen was actually trying to protect the Water Tribe! He was utterly dumbfounded and was speechless for a moment. He completely forgot and didn't care about the Firebender's annoyed comment because of this amazing epiphany.
When he finally regained his composure, he said, That Firebender is actually trying to protect the Northern Water Tribe?! But, why? His question wasn't really directed toward a specific person. In astonishment, he waited for some kind of answer, or at least a reply.

"So, let me get this straight. You guys are here to rescue me and that person over there is trying to protect the Water Tribe." replied Riko warily
Sheathing her butterfly knives she faced Nokoro and said "Kindly, would you unfreeze him?" While waiting for Nokoro to do just that Riko faced her rescuer with kind eyes "May I know your names?"
Riko kept her eyes looking at the person who had caused the foggy steam and who had just made everything visible again. It was strange indeed, he wanted to protect the Water Tribe? Riko's stomach was doing flip flops. This seemed alot more complex than she originally thought and with all this racket the Waterbending guards would be back with reinforcements soon.

Lan Shen scrutinized every inch of her surroundings, and she still couldn't see Riyan. She narrowed her eyes, just a tad frustrated on not being able to spot her enemy. Alright, if he wants to hide, then I'll wait, she thought to herself.
Maintaining her steady breathing, Lan Shen bent her knees and kept her legs solid. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Maiku and Aoi having a supposedly unfavorable conversation with Riko and a mysterious waterbender. It was obvious he was a waterbender, for poor Maiku was frozen. Thankfully it seemed they reached some kind of an accord, and he was unfrozen once more. Concentrate...breathe... Lan Shen kept her concentration on finding the appearance for Riyan, and she waited for just that.
The stillness of the world around her caused her pulse to quicken. Lan Shen's eyes constantly shifted, searching and waiting, searching and waiting for the end of this battle.

So, let me get this straight. You guys are here to rescue me and that person over there is trying to protect the Water Tribe?, Riko said. Nokoro could tell that she was getting pretty annoyed from this. Then she said, Kindly, would you unfreeze him? Nokoro melted the ice imprisoning the Firebender into water.
While he did this, Riko asked her rescuers, May I know your names? After melting the ice, Nokoro wasn't sure what to do. So, he just stood there, listening to the conversation between Riko and the rescuers. It was definitely inevitable that the two guards who were guarding Riko were going to come back soon after hearing the commotion. So, he just waited for something to happen.

Riyan moved around the buildings, as quietly as he possibly could. All he had to do was corner her. A woman looked at him and almost screamed, but he covered her mouth, saying, "It's ok, I'm here to help."
As he came around the other side, he saw Lan Shen sitting, waiting, wondering. Slowly and fluidly he moved his hands, and lightning tinkled of his fingers. Calm and consoledated, he set his aim, and a shot of blue lightning came erupting from his right hand.

Lan Shen finally heard a noise that might give away Riyan's hiding spot. A small part of her was joyed to finally have some leads, but a second soon after her rejoice, a deadly chill sickly crawled up her spine.
She saw him...Riyan...calm as ever, as he shot lightning straight at her. Lan Shen's face went pale, and she felt her legs turn to lead as she attempted to roll out of the way once more. She didn't move an inch. What's wrong with me?! The heat of the lightening, the crackling, became more apparent with every passing millisecond. Suddenly rapid flashes and images of her mother, father, her friends Aoi, and at last, Maiku went through her mind. A new strength took over Lan Shen, and her legs loosened. She leaped away. Riyan's lightning strike only took place in a matter of seconds, hopefully only a few would be long enough for Lan Shen.
She prayed it would as she hit the ground.

He was not about to let her dive away again, for he knew she would, she was skilled, but he needed to talk to the Northern Water Tribe. He needed to stop Maiku. His right gave way to the left, and it was a 50-50 chance that she would dive the wrong direction, and Riyan had a half-second to deside.
His left shot forward, and lightning erupted toward the right of where his other had been. The world was moving so slow. It was now, and he pleaded with himself to believe he had chossen the right way.
In his mind he did not like either way. If his blue fire reached it's target, she would be seriously hurt, and Riyan was for peace, not war. However, the Fire Nation was going to hurt these people, to lie, and he was there to show that not all supported the fire lord's sick ideals.

Maiku turned towards Nokoro as he released him from the ice. "Thank you" Maiku said.
Then he said to Riko, "I am Maiku, and this is my friend Aoi, and over there is my friend Lan Sh... Maiku watched in horror as he saw lightening head towards Lan Shen.

Maiku's face became one of complete horror, so much so that it caused Riko to look as well. It happened then, with a crackle and a flash lightening came hurtling towards the one named Lan Shen. The world became one slow motion video as Lan Shen had already hit the ground and there was only a matter of seconds before the impact.
Riko felt dizzy, the blood and adrenaline were too much but her body was moving on its own.
1 second....
Riko lunged towards Lan Shen, the fire beneath her propelling her forwards
2 seconds....
In mid-air Riko created a shield of fire
5 seconds....
There was a flash of light and pain hurriedly crept up Riko's leg as she yelled in agony. Luckily, Lan Shen wasn't hurt, at least as much as Riko could see. Her vision was foggy from free flowing tears as she turned to the assailant with anger all over her face and screamed
"What in the name of Agni do you think you're doing!?"

"The right thing."
Riyan exploded from his place, Dashing as fast as he could at the two. He needed to keep them from fleeing. The water tribe had to near.
As he let out a relentless barrage of flame, he yelled to the waterbender..... "Hey you, waterbender, when do your friends arrive, and will you give me a hand here?"

Lan Shen fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Her mind was in a craze, attempting to comprehend exactly where she was. Where am I? Have I left this world? She slowly lifted her head up to check her surroundings, but a feeling of immense pain took over her, and caused her vision to blur, and her face to contort. Tears secreted from her eyes as her face cringed, and her fingernails dug into the ice. The sharp and keen feeling came from the side of her torso, and Lan Shen realized the shot grazed her skin. So I'm still here., she thought smiling. She barely made it, but wound would be fatal if it wasn't attended to soon.

Riyan saw this as an oppertunity to take things out of their hands. Coming down and up, and trust up with his hands into Riko's chest. She when down, and it gave Riyan the time he needed. He moved over to Lan Shen, and picked her up.
"Now, this will not sit right with the others." Dashing as fast as he could out of sight, Lan Shen in his arms.... he knew she would try to get away, but he also knew that she needed medical attention. It worked out in his favor with the others, as they where sure to follow him, right into the center of the water tribe gathering.

The pain was almost unbearable. Lan Shen began to lose sight of what was going on around her, and she knew blacking out was inevitable. Suddenly her head spun, and her closed eyes tightened as she felt the odd feeling of being lifted into the air. Using all of her willpower, Lan Shen opened her curious brown eyes only to see Riyan, the man who inflicted this terrible pain upon her, her enemy.
"You..." she whispered with malice pratically dripping from the word. Rage quickly built inside her, and she attempted to jump out of his arms. As she tried, all of her energy immediately drained from her. No...keep trying, Lan Shen thought as the world turned black.
