The lower ring is, well I'll get back to you on that... (Open to all to join in!)

Aki went in the crate, her knees were against her chest. Namito was in the same position. The celar door creaked open. Aki could hear heavy boots walk down the stairs. "Find any people in here and take them prisoner!" The man with the heavy boots said. " Yes sir!" about 5 people said. Aki heard dot steps go around the cellar. Then a dog barked at our crate we were hiding in. " Sir I found something!" one of the men said. Heavy boots walked on the floor. Aki felt his hand touch the crate. Aki's stormy gray eyes looked as if she would sceam Help me.

Namito broke out of the crate and threw a chunk of rocks at the men. "How dare you come in here!" "What are you doing here!?!" "This is my Mansion!!!"

2 men wrestled Namito to the ground. Aki was pulled out by her brown hair. Aki was about to pull out her dagger, and the man took it. " Take them to the ship! " The men chained Aki up and pused her toward the looming airship. Aki saw the airship taking hundreds or thousands people chained and lead into the ship. Aki sighed and looked back at the lower ring and sniffeled.

A group of men threw Namito into a cell with Aki. "Whats going on here?" Namito aked Aki

" Im not sure!" Aki said looking around the cell room despretly. The air was not moist but dry.Aki looked around at some water benders. Well, that's why, no moisture no water bending,no escape. Wait! What if Namito could metal bend! Aki looked at the cell, it was made of wood,they saw him throwing rocks. Aki sighs only the spirits can help us now.

"Damn it! if these bars were metal I could get us outta here." "My theory is that maybee one of the nations became hostile and wanted to capture us." "My grandma told me stories about when the fire nation was evil" "They put the benders in ennviorments were they can't bend." Namito sat on the ground and sighed

" I do not think this is by a nation, maybe a cult." Aki said. Aki stopped and meditated and saw the ship was over a forest. Jackpot! Aki asked the forest spirtrs to free then. Aki could sence forest spirits flying up looking though the hallways for the one room. Then the cell was destroyed by a root of a tree mangling it into pieces. All the others in the room including Namito were dumb founded as how this happened. " Come on Namito we have to free the others."

"Right,lets get going!" Namito found a sword made of metal. He pulled the swoard to his hand using earthbending." "I got some metal to work with here" "We need to get to the controll room,when were their we can hijasck the ship and take us and the refugees back to Ba Sing Sae." Nick swayed the swoard cuttingt open the cells freeing prisoners from all walks of life. Waterbenders earth benders you name it.

The control room was under lock and key vast numbers of guards were inside. Aki signaled Namito and the other metal benders to attack first. Then the water benders would help Aki with the engine cooling it down. Aki went with the water benders and the plan started.

With the guards tooken out Namito used the controlls and shifted the airship back on course. Namito walked back down stairs to the engine room and told aki "By my calculations we should be landing in Ba Sing Sae in an hour." "I know a large crop feild inside the walls that we can land this huge hunk off metal." "Then I guess we can go home"
