Tsuzuki walked into the city from the train system for the second time in her life. She had stopped a little ways outside the city and used dyes in a common plant to change her hair color to black instead of bright blonde and bought a fake passport from an Earth Kingdom criminal. Since she had her own passport and knew what they looked like, she was able to compair how realistic it was and found that it was almost exactly like her own only green and it had the name: Fain Lee. The woman checking passports believed it and that was all that Tsuzuki needed.
The only thing that was troublesom to her was, while in the train station, she saw a wanted poster for herself but she looked different. Her hair was black instead of bright blonde and she was wearing Earth Kingdom clothing instead of Fire Nation. It didn't sound to be such a huge difference but she blended in well to the rest of the crowd because of it. This made it so, the only way someone could tell she was the same person on the poster, was if they were actually looking for her.

After their arrival at Ba Sin Se Yoko knew the others would be right behind them. Hopping off of Coco Yoko motioned that she was free to fly around even leave if she wanted too. Turning towards Tsuzuki Yoko said, "Hey Tsu, what are you doing?" Walking up to her he watched as she changed her appearance.
Pulling his bag off of his back Yoko began to pull clothing out that resembled the every day wear of a Earth nation citizen. Changing quickly Yoko made sure to wear the clothes that fit his enviroment.

Tsuzuki didn't grace Yoko with an answer as she walked around the lowest part of the city partially because she didn't want him to know and partially because she didn't know what to say. The city was still as desolate as it was the last time that she was here. But she enjoyed this part of the city more than the upper ring. It was teeming with life and little human moments that made life more real than the stuffiness of the upper ring and upper life for that matter.
She glanced to her side at Yoko and wondered if he was a noble or anything. Nobles generally knew other nobles and it was somewhat rare for nobles to be friends or even aquaintences with commoners.

Raj brought Micah down carefully, not sure how Yoko or Rei could've done something like that without letting the animal do all the work. As far as he was concerned, all bison-flying was simply required knowing what the bison was doing so you could have it direct itself the way you'd like to go. He climbed off of Micah's back and pat the bison on the side. "Well...I'm still okay..." He moved over to the large animal's head. "Why don't you go with the other bison? Or go find Rei...Whichever keeps you out of here so that nobody complains about a bison blocking the streets."

Now that Tsuzuki had left him once again Yoko turned and faced Raj, "Whats with her? Umm what do you want to do? I'm kinda bored, you wanna go find some locals to meet?" Shifting his weight from his left leg to his right leg Yoko ran his hand through his long black hair that appeared silky to the touch and shiney as if it were marble. Waiting for Raj's reply he surveyed the surroundings for any signs of trouble or ambush. You never know what kind of theives or gangs lurk in the citys of all nations nowadays.

Tsuzuki moved towards the next dojo she saw; she needed to train sometime. The dojo was small and, like the one in the Fire Nation, filled to the brim with tough-looking, young individuals. She didn't pay them any mind as she bought an individual room key to go practice just like she had done in the capitol. When she entered the room, she sat in the center, ready to meditate. While closing her eyes, the sounds of the city outside disappeared as the sounds of her thoughts echoed throughout her body. As she slipped into her meditative state, she saw yet another thing.
~
She was standing in Ba Sing Se. Well, over it like in a dream but she could tell she was meditating instead of sleeping because of the heavy feeling she felt as she flew around. She saw herself standing in the middle of an alleyway in the middle of the night, flustered at best. She still had black hair so she knew it couldn't be much further into the future than that moment. Behind her stood a woman older than her with her sword drawn. She watched herself slip into the physical state it took to bend and start to defend herself.
But, as her other persona fought, she wasn't interested about how she did but another, shorter figure on the roof. It was so dark and her other self was distracted and didn't see him draw an arrow and shoot it until it was straight through her heart. She watched her own eyes open in shock as her body fell backwards and blood seeped from the wound. Only a few moments later, she began to cough up blood until she was dead.
She watched the two other figures pick up her body and clean up the blood until there wasn't a thing left. When they were gone, Tsuzuki felt herself slip back into conciousness.
~
Her eyes flew open and cold sweat dripped down her nose as she realized she had just witnessed her own demise.

After a long pause between them Yoko turned and began to walk away. Following the same path that Tsuzuki did Yoko eventually ended up at a the dojo that Tsuzuki was inside. Opening the dojo's doors he enterd slowly, scanning all the individuals in the room. Surveying each one of them Yoko knew they were doing the same with him. Knowing Tsuzuki was inside here Yoko awaited her arrival from one of the many meditation rooms. Guessing she was residing in one of them since the fact she wasn't in the main sparing room.
Two individuals stepped forth and began to approach Yoko, one man was really large. He was covered in tattoos that represented a local gang, and by some of the markings how many people he had either beaten or killed. Yoko knew the crowd must have been alot of serious and rough individuals by the looks of this guy. The other one was really tall and thin, he had a huge scar that covered his left eye, and he had a huge metal claw on one of his arms that connected in a way that appeared to be bolted to the bone.
"I hope Tsuzuki is alright" Yoko thought to himself as they came closer. With both of them stopping beside him they looked at him and said with deep villianous voices, "What buisness do you have here outsider?" Looking up at them Yoko's stare was unphased as he said, "Some one I know is in here, I came to make sure she was alright. Is that a problem?" A sign of anger swept over both of their faces as the tall one piped up and said, "Don't like you tone outsider. You best leave before we have to remove you." The big one let out a huge bear like laugh.
Knowing what was going on Yoko knew that he had to prove himself to the onlookers and the two standing beside him. They wanted to make sure he wasn't no pansy to be in a place like that. Without warning Yoko struck both men in the stomach. Doing a sort of back flip after doing so he kicked both of them in the face sending them flying back onto thier butts. A barrel that had the top cut open lay just a few yards away with water in it Yoko knew that if he was going to bend he needed that water because he hadn't seen any other forms around him.
Rushing forth with emence speed Yoko hopped off of the fat ones stomach and flipped over the tall lanky one and landed just feet behind them. Bending the water from the barrel he then gathered a huge ammount of water from the container. As they got to thier feet the two got into stance. The large one with tattoos slammed his foot on the ground that sent a tremmor towards Yoko trying to catch him off guard.
Knowing the instant that he stomped what the result woulf be Yoko lept into the air and sent a stream of water at the two of them. The tall one suddenly hit a button on his claws that made them grow longer. Rushing forth at Yoko in the air after pressing his button the tall one dogged the stream and snaked his way towards Yoko while he was still in mid air.
The fat one whose reaction time was much slowr than the tall ones got slammed with the stream of water. Flying back he hit the stone wall as the entire place shook. The ammount of force that the stream packed was like being hit with a water cannon. With water now on the floor and the tall one ever so close Yoko quickly turned the water on the floor into ice.
Losing his balance the tall one sliped and hit the floor sliding past Yoko and into the far wall. Landing without a sound Yoko bent the water off the floor and made it encircle him. The fat one had now regained his composure and so had the tall one who was slightly dazed. Rushing at him both of them ran at top speeds. Knowing exactly how to finish this fight Yoko lowered down into the vortex of water around him and thrust out his arms and then carried them up.
Eight octopus like arms shot out and enraveld themselves around the two opponets, lifted them off the ground and then slammed them into the roof and then let go dropping them to the floor below. Hitting the floor with a loud thud both men lay unconcious. Yoko dropped to his knees as he wiped the sweat from his forhead. He panted mildly as he took in air, his body and muscles that hadn't been used in a long while ached.
To his suprised the onlookers began to clap and cheer him on. By the looks of it this was one of the best spars they had seen in a long while. Slowly standing to his feet Yoko bowed to the others as he would now await Tsuzuki to return from one of the rooms .

After hearing all of the commotion outside of her meditation room, Tsuzuki got up and went to the door. In order to see what was going on outside, she had to open the door and, when she did, she was surprised to see Yoko standing over two men. "So a lot happened when I was gone, huh?" She asked, trying not to look too shaken from what she had seen but failing miserably.

Raj hadn't worried about talking to Yoko right away, he wanted to get some things in Ba Sing Se before they left again. He walked over to a shop, looking around for anything he thought he might need. Yoko and Tsuzuki both seemed to believe in keeping outfits for any sort of place they went to, but he didn't really care about that. He was fine if people knew he was an earthbender.
He grabbed a larger pack than what he had at home for whatever he could need in the future, that would be a start. Raj frowned in thought as he continued to look, taking a sleeping bag and stuffing that inside. He wasn't sure he'd even be able to afford everything he was going to get, though these two seemed to be the most needed at this moment. The rest he would have to look for in other stores.

"Um, yeah," Tsuzuki said to herself, drawing out the 'yeah' part, "I'm gonna go back into the room. I'll be right out."
She flung the door open and went back inside where she needed to chill out. When she thought about what she had just seen, she was in denial. In the fives stages of grief, she was only on the first step and would stay there for quite awhile until she went through all of the other steps at almost the exact same time. "Just focus," she told herself as she breathed in through her mouth and out through her nose.
Without another thought, she swung her right leg up into the air, creating a jet of verticle fire and then jumped up with her left leg, landing on her right leg. Her left leg soared through the air horizontally in front of her face as a smooth jet of fire zoomed towards the wooden wall. . . Which burst into flames. "Oh crap!"
She took in a deep breath and pushed her hands down through the air until they were level with the floor and the flames were extinguished. "Why," she moaned to herself, "Why did we have to come here?"

Angrily, she punched the wall, breaking through the already vulnerable, singed wood in front of her. Through it, she saw a small boy taking a coin purse out of someone's jacket that they must have left. He was wearing the official uniform of the dojo and so she could either assume that he was doing this against the advice of his boss or that his boss was telling him to steal. The scared look on his face could have been because he had just witnessed someone bust through a wall but, when he squeeked, "Pease don't tell," Tsuzuki could tell that he had gotten over his shock and was more afraid of her telling his boss which also confirmed her previous assumption.
He stared at her up and down and then bargained, "I won't tell about the wall if you don't tell on me."
Tsuzuki weighed her options and then decided to go with what the boy had suggested, "Fine. I'm just gonna leave now and I won't tell anyone as long as you don't tell anyone about this hole."
She left through the door, closed it and locked it. After checking that she had everything on her she had come in with and fixing her hair, she motioned to Yoko to follow her and left the dojo, entering the crowds.

Raj had been really angry, but he didn't seem as sick as he usually did after he finished, so he guessed that his little cure worked. "Who needs pills and medicines anyway." He sighed happily, maybe that could help make sure Raj didn't beat him. In a instant, he noticed that they had all left, all at the Dojo they weren't even close to him, so he flipped forward, landing in the 'Drivers' seat of Micah, and took the Reigns, grinning, he'd get a chance to train his new moves. He patted Micah's fur and nodded, giving him a extra pat, harder so he could feel it, and Micah jumped up into the air, a shock of air hit the ground, and Micah went up, he guided Micah with the reigns, and took the path that would be the hardest to spot him leaving at, so even if they did want to see him, they'd be hard pressed to do it. He subconsciously touched the staff that layed on Micah beside him, he was excited, this would rock.

Kourou skipped around town. Her parents weren't home still. In fact they probably wouldn't notice if she'd left. Her stomach growled, so she went over to the market looking around. There, she'd probably find some food. With the money she had on her she bought an apple or two, and stuffed the other in her small bag. She looked around and spotted an earthbender, he'd looked like one, with shackles. It was rude to stare, she knew, but did it anyways it interested her for some odd reason. She kept quiet though, for once, a bit unsure whether the guy was friendly or not.

Raj couldn't think of anything aside from what he had now, paying for the pack and sleeping bag. He stepped out of the shop, stopped and blinked curiously. Somebody was watching him and it was making him extremely uncomfortable. The earthbender spun around and saw a young waterbender girl, she seemed to be fascinated by him or something. He just shrugged to himself and kept on, it wasn't his fault people were odd the way they were.

Kourou followed the strange guy, and ducked when he'd seen her. She blushed, embarassed that she'd done that. 'No point in hiding now.' She thought, 'Then again...' Her hat few off, landing in front of him. Kourou chased after it, but tripped over it. "Umph." She got herself to stand up, and dusted her cap, before putting it back on her head.
