If it's a war he wants, then I've got an army.

Now cut the hysterics, we have a lot of work to do.

He won't catch my metalbenders off guard again.

War? That doesn't sound good.

[chiefbeifong]

It's not, but we don't have a choice.

[savedtheworld]

That's a shame. I thought everything would be peaceful once I stopped the war with the Fire Nation. Maybe it's not that easy.

[chiefbeifong]

It's not even close to the scale of the Hundred-Year War, but your city is facing a dangerous man.

[ She'd normally say her city, but. You are the Avatar, man. ]

[savedtheworld]

I see. I still wish I could help, somehow. But at least you have Metalbenders on your side. I know how good one could be. I was friends with the original, after all.

[chiefbeifong]

I like to think we've reached that level, but honestly my team still has a way to go.

[ Okay so the current avatar isn't so bad, but she's always thought no one could live up to Avatar Aang's legacy. ]

... what would you do, if you were still here?

[savedtheworld]

[He does bristle at the thought of not being around.]

I don't know much about this situation, but... I think I'd make sure to try every other option before violence.

[chiefbeifong]

That doesn't surprise me in the least.

I don't suppose it's possible to take away the ability to take away someone's bending?

[savedtheworld]

It...it's kinda possible. But... only I should be able to do it! ‹small› [pause. He tries to remember the lion-turtle's exact words.] ‹/small›I'm.... pretty sure I am...

[chiefbeifong]

That's what most of us thought, too.

It must be some sort of trick, but we just haven't figured out what it is.

[savedtheworld]

Really? Is that what this... guy is doing? He's taking away other people's bending? That's horrible!

[chiefbeifong]

He heads up the anti-bending revolution and teaches chi-blocking. That's probably part of it.

[savedtheworld]

That does sound serious. Isn't there something I can do to help? I know not Me-Me, and I'm pretty sure I'm not around anymore, but... shouldn't Spirit Me know what to do?

[chiefbeifong]

If the Avatar can figure it out, I'm sure I'll hear about it. I'll do what I can in the meantime.

[savedtheworld]

[A simple nod.]

Alright. I have faith in you.

[chiefbeifong]

[ Just as nice as a kid as when you were an adult. Okay. Cool. ]

... thank you.
