Northern Water Tribe

"Stop calling me a brat!" Naida demanded.

Cao ignored her as he over saw the battle.

Panni sat in a tea house sipping at his tea wondering what his next move should be.

A group of waterbenders entered the ship. "We would appreciate it if you released our princess." The head bender said.

"I'd appreciate it if you thanked us for keeping her safe." Cao said. "Earth Kingdom soldiers tried to board the ship after seeing she had gotten on." He said. "She's on the bridge waiting for you."

The group of benders entered the bridge and untied her. "Thank you." She said and headed to their canoe, but stopped at Cao first. "I want to know what is going on here when you when this fight." Naida said.

"Simple, we were attacked by the Earth Kingdom." Cao said. "I'm as lost as you as to their motives."

Panni left the tea house continuing his tour of the village not really worried about the battle

"Okay.. Then I'm sorry for being angry at you." She said and hopped over the side of his ship into a tiny canoe.

Cao chuckled watching her. He shook his head. "You owe me!" He called out heading into the bridge tower.

The Fire Nation 4th fleet had arrived, in it were three battleships, six cruisers, and a large aircraft carrier, the first of it's kind.

Bored with all the snow and water Panni decided to get back to the ship. He knew they were still in the middle of a battle but maybe he could be of some help there, after all this place was too white for him.

Several fighter planes were attacking the Earth Kingdom ships as the Fire Nation fleet was still firing back and forth against the Earth Kingdom ships.

Cao was over seeing the battle with the Admiral.

Panni took a canoe out to the ship looking out at the Earth Kingdom ships

Cao looked seeing a canoe heading towards his ship. "You cannot be serious..."

"Hey, toss me a line" Panni shouted up

Some soldiers looked down at him. "Uhh..."

Cao walked over to the side. "Why are you here during a battle?"

"The city is boring and I thought I might be able to help."

"Throw him a line before a shell hits him." Cao sighed and couple soldiers threw Panni a line.

Panni climbed up onto the deck "So, what's going on anyway, why are we fighting with Earth Kingdome?"

"Their ships attacked us." Cao said.

"I see" Panni said "what can I do then?"

"Whatever you can do in a naval battle Earth bender." Cao said.

"Right, I'll be standing over here then" Panni said going over to a corner

Cao headed back to the bridge as the battle continued to rage, the Fire Nation was winning easily now with the arrival of the 5th fleet.
