Iroh was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Olivia.
"Hah, this is my wife, Iroh. Don't be so shocked." Alexander said. He was much better now, he felt like a dam was opened and the piled up weight was removed from his mind.
"Well, I heard before that you can see people's nature just from their faces and I can assure you, your wife looks like an angel," Iroh said.
Alexander chuckled hearing that, "Haha, yeah, she is. Well, let's get going now, my friend. You have a new shop to open."
"Wait, I just bought it before coming here, how did you know?" Iroh asked interestingly.
"I know and see things normal people can't my friend." Alexander cryptically said.
"Hah, all right, keep your secrets. Wah... I am feeling refreshed." Iroh yawned as he got up.
"Oli, thanks for coming." Alexander gratefully said to her.
"Oh, what would you be without me? You're a mess." She nagged and moved her hand through his hair.
"Heh, I am your mess," Alexander cheekily replied.
"Shamel..." *BOOOM*
She couldn't completely speak as a huge explosion like sound came from beyond the walls of the city.
"I will go and check it out, Oli. See you later." He said. Olivia nodded and vanished into Phixheim.
"Let's see what's going on, Iroh." He suggested.
Then, Alexander took out his anywhere to the top of the wall. Iroh wasn't shocked by anything now as in his mind, nothing should be impossible for the Spirit god.
Looking at what was happening, Iroh facepalmed himself. "Ah, it's an attack from my country."
Meanwhile, Alexander was genuinely surprised that the fire nation had such an amazing tunnel boring machine, and the only use they thought of it was in a war.
"*Sigh* Sometimes, I am confused about whether to laugh or cry at fire nation." He commented.
"What do you mean?" Iroh asked.
"Nothing, you stay here, don't destroy the machine or let anyone else do it. I will bring the king here and show him what is going on. He most likely doesn't even know what happens outside his palace walls." Alexander instructed him.
Iroh understood the task, "You go ahead. These machines are very hard to break or stop. I will wait here."
Alexander simply flew this time to the royal palace. He reached the big doors and showed his seal.
"Kuei, you may have been just 4 when you were forced to take the throne but that was years ago. Your recent actions won't be forgiven. You will be educated in the art of kingship. Even the king of Omashu is better than you. Along with amazing statesmanship, he is also a powerful Earthbender." He scolded.
"GUARDS!" Alexander shouted.
This time the guards came in. "Arrest Long Feng and put him in the tightest security prison. If he gets away I will eat your jobs. So, do it properly."
"Kuei, you follow me. I will open your eyes today." He ordered. Kuei just nodded and walked behind him scaredly.
First, he brought him to the underground base of Dai Li. "This is where Long Feng did all the brainwashing of people and imprisoned anyone he didn't like."
After that, they took a train to the outer wall. "Look outside, the condition of the city. It has been dwindling all this time because all the money that was supposed to be used to repair it stayed in Dai Li's pocket."
Little by little, the foolish Earth King's eyes were really opening up.
...
Back on the wall. Team Avatar and Ragnarok had arrived due to the blast.
"Why can't we stop them? If they get through then the people will be in danger." Aang voiced his concern.
"Haha, the walls of this city are not that weak, Aang. It will take them a lot of time. But you can rest assured, Spirit God told me to wait for him. He will be bringing the king here." Iroh explained.
"Oh, then it should all be fine," Aang eased up.
"Huh, if it was me, I'd just need to take my mighty form and blow air at it to destroy it." Chomei proudly claimed.
"Yes, I'm sure you can do it. You are a mighty spirit beast after all." Iroh said.
He then looked at his niece, "How are you, Azula?"
"Fine," she gave a one-word answer.
"Well, at least you are replying. That is still progress." He joked and looked down at many earthbender soldiers trying to stop the machine.
