The ruins of the Fire Nation camp are still there, as is the wall. Some Earth Kingdom soldiers have gathered on top, keeping a watch on the camp. They shout when they see the two women return, and one goes running off, presumably to spread word of their arrival.

She offers Eliana a hand. "Would you like a view?"

Permalink

She accepts. "Most kind of you."

Permalink

"Oh, it's no trouble."

And her Susano forms around her, and she takes off into the air, flying high above the city. Exactly how extensive is their wall?

Permalink

Very. It encloses an area practically the size of a small country.

Permalink

A challenge! The fight against Kaguya stretched her this far - time to see if the energy that's been humming under her skin ever since actually did anything to help.

Hisame begins to fly a circuit around the wall, laying down black fire that rapidly starts to eat through it - and anyone foolish enough to come too close.

Permalink

Horns start sounding up and down the wall. Soldiers unlucky enough to be caught too far away from the stairs fling themselves off in desperation.

Permalink

She laughs, speeding up, wings crackling with lightning - and the fire's hot enough, plentiful enough, to start affecting the air over it, forming little spouts of tornadoes that quickly dissipate.

Permalink

Earthbenders can't do much about the weather, and she's moving fast enough to stay ahead of any sort of coordinated response.

Permalink

Then zoom she will go, all the way around!

What's going on where she started?

Permalink

A pretty big storm is brewing, and the wall's burned about halfway to the ground. No sign of survivors.

Permalink

Heee.

She heads back over the city, leisurely, and splits off a clone to drop, camouflaged, into the streets once she's past the farmland next to the wall.

Anything interesting happening on the ground?

Permalink

Mostly nervousness about the sudden storm. And the giant armored spirit zooming through the sky, that's worrisome.

Permalink

Aw. Can people not see their burning wall?

This is probably stupidly costly, but Hisame makes the flames surge, so surely they'll be visible from quite a distance.

Permalink

That starts some panic!

Permalink

And can she or her clone tell where a response is being coordinated from?

Permalink

The expressionless earthbenders with stone gloves who appear like ninjas to break up potential riots before they can really get going seem to be coming from the palace in the center.

Permalink

Her clone kills a few, just idly, and works her way in a zig-zag towards the palace.

Permalink

Palace: is palatial. Also host to a mustering army in its vast courtyards.

Permalink

Hello soldiers! There is a much bigger soldier landing on top of the palace! You may panic now.

Permalink

They do so, quite obligingly. Some of them scramble for ranged weapons, but their commanders stop them, for fear of damaging the palace.

Permalink

She'll solve that problem for them!

Lightning arcs from the sky, slamming into their formations. The courtyards are too big and the palace too small for this to damage the palace more than incidentally, though.

Permalink

The soldiers break and flee.

Some of the earthbender ninjas are swarming up the palace roof, launching their stone gauntlets to attack her.

Permalink

She is a proper ninja, thank you very much, and is fully capable of ignoring the stone gauntlets while she snaps forward to kill them all.

Permalink

They don't show quite the same compunction about ripping up the palace to hurt or delay her. But they die all the same.

No one else seems to be forthcoming to challenge her.
