24. The Drill

Aang, Katara, Sokka,Toph, and I were crouching together in one of the abandoned trenches left by the Terra Team getting ready to attack. "Once Anna and I whip up some cover, you're not going to be able to see. So, stay close to us." Toph said gesturing towards the drill.

The two of us stepped outside the trench and in unison we each give a powerful stomp our foot, sending a mass of flying debris and dust clouding toward the drill. "Run!" I yell and with that our friends races into the dust cloud behind us. And it isn't long before we are standing in the midst of the dust beside the drill and I earthbend a hole into the ground. "Everyone into the hole!" I say before jumping in with everyone close behind. Once everyone gets inside I close the opening above us.

"It's so dark down here, I can't see a thing!" Sokka says.

"Oh no, what a nightmare!" Toph says and knowing my sister I was positive she was being sarcastic. It was times like these I'm glad that I developed a way to (somewhat) hear without seeing.

"Sorry." Sokka replies, we make our way to the surface underneath the drill, and Sokka soon spots an opening. "There!" He says, Aang leaps up to the bar hanging from the opening and, dangling upside-down from his legs, he hoists Sokka and Katara up into the drill. He then realizes neither me orToph are following them. Sokka sticks his head out of the drill. "Toph, Anna, come on!" The water tribe boy calls.

"No way are we going in that metal monster. We can't bend in there." Toph tells him.

"We'll try to slow it down out here." I continue for her. Sokka nods and wishes us luck and he and Aang disappear inside the large drill. Both Toph and I earthbend each a wedge of rock into the drill, planting our feet into the earth and hold the wedge in place. I groan as the drill pushed me back, glancing over at my twin I see it too is a difficult task for her. She gives me a strained smile and with determination I push back with all my strength.

I have forgotten how long it was since we started to try to hold the drill when we hear Katara's voice towards the back of it. And I immediately let go, turning I see Toph has done the same and we ran over to her. She was waterbending this muddy slug stuff into this large drain "You guys need some help?" Toph asked.

"I need you two to help me plug up this drain." Katarta told us and the three of us begin bend the slug, sending Ty Lee farther into the drill and causing the pipes to begin to expand under the pressure. And we all grin at each other as the Ssurry begins to slowly seep from the drill. I can feel the vibration of the pipes inside the drill threatening to collapse and burst through my feet.

Sokka lets out what I'm guessing to be some kinda cheer. "Here it comes!" I say. Toph earthbender all of us onto a rock pillar to avoid the flood of slurry. Slurry gushes from the rear of the drill, and Ty Lee slams into the wall of the rock pillar as she was forcefully pushed forward by the flood made of slug. We watch as the drill begins to release steam and it begins to collapse.

We all latter met up on top of the wall and look over the sun as it sets. "I just want to say, good effort out there today, Team Avatar!" Sokka says carefully.

Katara look at her brother, unamused. "Enough with the Team Avatar stuff. No matter how many times you say it, it's not going to catch on."

"How about ... " Sokka replies pulling out boomerang. "The Boomeraang Squad! See it's good because it's got "Aang" in it. Boomeraang."

"I kind of like that one." Aang grins.

Katara begins walking away. "Let's talk about this on our way into the city."  As we walk into the city Sokka gives out team name suggestion and I smile as my finger intestine with my sister.
