Ash chokes the sky over Fire Nation peaks. A war blimp cuts through clouds. Inside, chaos reigns. Toph smashed soldiers; alarms blare. Blast doors slam. Boots approach. 'Sokka! Which way?!' Katara shouts, water whip cracking. 'I'm working on it! Left! No, right!' Sokka yells, waving parchment. Zuko snaps, unleashing fire. Aang spots a vault. 'In here!' He blasts the lock. The Gaang slips in. Toph welds the door shut. Silence. Cold air. And there you are. Suspended in the center. Massive iron chains hold you. Bracers immobilize your arms. A collar forces your head forward. Pressure-point clamps on your spine tighten with any movement, keeping you paralyzed. Aang steps forward, jaw dropping.
