As Lan Shen and Lanyi walked together, the sun gently kissed the skies with a golden glow. They watched the sunrise in awe, and most fortunately, they shared one more tranquil, perfect moment.
"It's beautiful." Lan Shen said simply. And it was beautiful, truly a sight to see. Lanyi smiled, and squeezed her daughter tightly.
They finally neared the boat, seeing clads of soldiers dressed in Water Tribe clothes. Am I incorrectly dressed? Lan Shen thought. After all, she was wearing a crimson robe that billowed to the ground, and the top portion of her hair was done in a simple top knot. The rest of her waist-length hair flew freely, receiving butterfly kisses from the sun's rays. She was definitely Fire Nation.
Lanyi and her walked slowly and shyly around the dock, looking for someone to direct them. Fortunately for them, they saw none other than Officer Xun.
"Lan Shen!", he yelled smiling. "Nice to see you here, but you're a bit late aren't you? That's going to cost you tonight's dinner."
"Like you have any authority," Lan Shen replyed curtly, "You're not even going on this quest. You're just going to stay here like the cowardly vigilante you are." After saying that statement, she left Xun standing there. Although Lan Shen did talk back, she had no interest to 'debate' right now.
Lanyi followed her, as she began to cry. Hearing her mother's sniffles, she turned around and abruptly gave her a hug. "It's ok mom, I'll be back soon, I promise." Lanyi's only responses were giving a hug back and a few choked up words. Lan Shen sadly smiled, and soon spotted two people that were about her age, dressed in Water Tribe clothing as well.
"Mom, let's go over there. Maybe those people can tell me where to go." Lanyi nodded, and they both walked toward the warriors. Striding with much confidence, Lan Shen went up to the both of them and said,
"Hi, my name is Lan Shen. I'm here as a medic in training for the invasion."

Aoi asked Maiku how she looked. He was just about to say something when she said, "Just kidding."
"What just happened," Maiku thought to himself. He again decided to leave it alone for now.
After twenty minutes had gone by Maiku and Aoi headed to the boat. Once they had gotten there, an unfamiliar face approached them with someone who looked like her mother.
She introduced herself as Lan Shen, and said that she was hear as a medic for the invasion of the North.
"Hello Lan Shen," Maiku said, "I am Maiku and this is my friend Aoi. I'm sorry, but we have to make this brief. My friend and I are going to head up to the North Pole in a few minutes."

Aoi nodded and shook her hand, smiling. "Hi, nice to meet you. Medic in training...? That's interesting. So will you be helping us here?" She noted how the girl had large, glistening brown eyes and a cheerful grin. She seems nice...

"Hello Maiku and Aoi," she said,shaking hands. "Yes, I will be helping you. I'm going to the Northern Tribe as well, and I was told to come here. Honestly, I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. Do you think that one of you could help me?"
Lan Shen's cheeks reddened as she said this. I sound like an ignorant moron... She nervously smiled, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Right here!" Aoi replied. "I think anyways. Maiku probably knows more, so you can ask him!" She watched as a look of embarrasment flitted across the girl's face. Is she shy...?
Brushing a dark tress from her face, she let her cobalt eyes flicker across the scene as she wrapped her arms around herself. It's so cold...! How can these people live here?!

"The medical tent is the really big tent over there," Maiku said as he pointed to a nearby tent. "The army has more than enough nurses heading with them to the North Pole, how about you come with Aoi and me instead?" Maiku asked.

Riko had enough of this argument. There was just no way this was going to work out, then again there might be something she could do in the end. Nokoro, surprise evident on his face hadn't taken the bait as his face switched into one of utter confidence and defiance. That was all Riko needed, that one slip into surprise was the confirmation that what she held was not the real scrolls. She wouldn't push him however, he was a good warrior and had beaten her fair and square.
"I know what you mean. I surrender, you've foiled my mission and beaten me basically three times now. If I get out of this, I'll find a way to thank you."
With that, Riko waited for the cage as her raven hair fluttered in her face from an intruding cold breeze.

Lan Shen smiled warmly, thankful for Maiku's offer. "Thank you, I am honored to join you on your mission." She turned around, seeing her mother smiling at her. "Excuse me," Lan Shen then said to Maiku and Aoi.
She walked over to Lanyi and said, "Mom, I'm going to join them on their mission. Please don't tell Xun, I know he'll have a field day if he knew..."
Lanyi's voice wavered again as she said, "I know darling. It's our secret, ok?" She hugged Lan Shen one more time, whispering, "I already miss you. Be safe, my dear child. Your mother loves you very much." Tears flowed from both of their tired eyes. Lan Shen set her things down, and hugged Lanyi back. "I love you too, mother." she said softly.
The mother let her daughter go, ready for her child to face the world. "I don't want to keep you and your new friends," Lanyi said smiling. "Goodbye mom. Don't worry, I'll be back soon," Lan Shen said, trying to regain her composure.
"Goodbye sweetie, remember to have fun on your journey." This was unbearable for Lanyi. She tried to be as optimistic as possible, for her and her daughter's sake. She's a strong, young woman. I know she can take care of herself. Lanyi's heart was torn the second Lan Shen began to walk away. Her daughter waved, picked up her things, and walked back to Maiku and Aoi.

"Your welcome Lan Shen, and you don't have to be all formal." Maiku said.
Lan Shen then said, "excuse me." "O.K." Maiku replied.
Then she walked away to the person who had come with her. Maiku then turned to Aoi.
"Are you alright with her coming along with us Aoi?" He asked.
Then he saw Lan Shen begin to walk towards them.

I would love having another girl on the mission!" She giggled, just as Lan Shen approached them. "Ready? Do you know what to do?"

Nervously giggling, she said, "Right, of course," before excusing herself.
When Lan Shen came back, Aoi asked, "Ready? Do you know what to do?"
"I'm ready, but I don't know exactly what to do."

"Well, the plan is really simple, we go up to the North Pole before the rest of the fleet. When we get their, we have one night to save one of our spy's named Riko. If we don't, the army is still starting the attack the following morning. We will have to get out, other wise we might end up dead ourselves." Maiku said to Lan Shen.
Then, just as Maiku was finally about to get on the boat he realized something.
"We need to get you a disguise Lan Shen, otherwise, the Northern Water Tribe will realize what we're up to. Luckily we have a few more in storage." He said.
Maiku grabbed a disguise and handed it to Lan Shen.

"Sounds simple enough," she said. "We will be training on the way there, right?" Then, Maiku handed her a Water Tribe disguise.
Lan Shen stood in awe, staring at the unique Water Tribe clothing. It's so much more beautiful in person... Grinning, she took the disguise from Maiku and thanked him. "I've always wanted to go to the Water Tribe," she said to the both of them. "Although this isn't exactly a vacation, it's still a great oppurtunity."

After a long silence filled with mixed feelings, Riko finally said, I know what you mean. I surrender, you've foiled my mission and beaten me basically three times now. If I get out of this, I'll find a way to thank you.
Thank you for understanding Riko. This means a lot to me., Nokoro replied with a deeply emotional expression on his face. Then, Chief Konaro and General Manoko arrived.
OK, let's place her in the prison cage very cautiously!, Chief Konaro said as he moved the prison cage under Riko and opened it from the top. Now all they needed to do was to separate Riko from the ceiling and slowly lower her into the cage. The three waterbenders prepared for the waterbending moves by focusing their chi.
If only she wasn't forced to do a lazy megalomaniac's job!, Nokoro thought as his rage for the Fire Lord increased greatly.

The duo had returned with the cage. It was actually quite spacious considering it would hold someone who, just a few hours ago had tried to destroy the Northern Water Tribe. They got it positioned under her and were now focusing their chi. "Finally, I can get off this ceiling!" thought Riko
