    i think that Ba Sing Se will be attacked by ''War balloons''. if u saw the ''Northern Air Temple'' u know what im talking about... the FN already tried to defeat BSS with a giant drill, but they failed thanks to the avatars help. i dont think they will give it up though. with the balloons they can control the sky, which means that they wont get any problems??crossing the giant walls that are protecting the city. i guess this attack will take place very soon.

    what do you guys think?

    i know, but im sure they will find something for that... dont forget that they made that drill which couldnt be??destroyed by??rocks also.

    one way or another, they WILL use those war balloons. i guess everyone agrees to that...

    I don't see any big attack on BSS anytime soon- so soon after the destruction of?? the Drill. It certainly won't happen in 'The Earth King' since it will involve the internal strife dealing with the Dai Li.

    A big attack may happen in Season 3, but I think by that time, it's all about the other nations striking back at the FN.

    War balloons may make an appearance, but to make a dent on BSS, there would have to be swarms of the things, and that would be a major event. Unlike the Drill, these balloons however would be a lot more vulnerable and delicate, so it would probably be a costly battle for the FN to use them.

    Earthbenders can't bend boulders to such a great hight.

    yup, true. also dont forget that those balloons can attack??from everywhere at the same time... they just need a few man per balloon. about the costs of making them... well... i dont think itll be such a problem considering that they could make a giant drill

    at the end of chapter 17, book 1,??the general who attacked the Northern Air Temple says:??''This defeat is the gateway to many victories''. These balloons??HAVE to get back soon defeating or threatening a city. it would make a nice episode, cause they would probably have to ask the help of the people from the Northern Ait Temple.

    like i already said a few times??earlier, this is the ultimate place to use them cause of the ginat walls. i think BSS will be attacked soon, but thats just a guess... it might happen in book 3 also

    lol, yeah

    ??he wont be able to attack everywhere at the same time though. thats why i mentioned that the FN??can attack everywhere at the same time in my last post. they dont have to form a solid group of soldiers when they approach the walls. if they just send like 3 balloons every 200 meter, they'll be able to find at least a few open spots where they can land and set the entire city in fire (the houses are really close to eachother, so it wont a much of a problem...). Maybe they dont even have to land, cause they can fire out of the sky, which also makes their attack range much bigger.

    he took out the entire FN navy on the north pole i know he was in avatar state but still i think aang will take out most of the ballons and some get in they must combine??the drill and the baloons then they would've won for sure aang couldn't take out the drill AND the ballons at the same time

    and i agree BURN BA SING SE LAST FREE EARTH CAPITOL

    If they??can invade a city filled with waterbenders by sea, then they can invade Ba Sing Se by air, even if Aang is still there.

    A drill? I was thinking more of a decoid The Fire Nation could try to breach the inner wall by using a battlion of foot soldiers which should be about 5,00 or 6000 men with maybe 2 Platoons of tanks that should cause trouble on the front so that means they have to use more soldiers to defend and from Ba Sing Se's rear they can have a base on the ocean north sending baloons down to Ba Sing Se and if you notice the rear of Ba Sing Se is where the walls are closest?? making the invasion easier.

    people cmon... Aang cant create a hurrican of, lets say, 40 miles... its just o large, he cant defend such a large city on his own.

    heres something to think about though: i just found out that the general who attacked the Northern Air Temple who said he would make many victories thanks to that one defeat, is the same person who was leading the ''drill attack''??at BSS??(ofcourse Azula was giving him orders, but he was the general who originally was leading the attack).

    he said to Azula just minutes before attacking BSS: The earthkindom will finally fall. And you can claim BSS in the name of your father.

    appearently he really wants BSS to be destroyed or be taken by the FN after all that time. considering that hes the one who determined to use the war balloons, its not more then reasenable to expect that he will combine these 2 goals: he will try to take BSS with war balloons

    Episode 19 (The Guru) and episode 20 (The Crossroads of Destiny) don't exactly sound like a war ballon attack.

    rofl...the season finales already WELL under way with animation xD But with the balloons and aang etc...I don't think they'd stay in the sky the whole time...I think they'd just go over the wall and come down and then forget about the balloons because then if you remember in The Blue Spirit Zhao or yea... said something about like...THIS IS THE YEAR WE WILL DESTROY THE CITY OF BA SING SE, or something right before he finds out that Aang escaped so maybe they will
