Good grief, do you realize that you are just as bad as the Fire nation was in the show? Here the Fire Nation is showing mercy to it's enemies and being honorable, and yet the Earth Kingdom is wiping out the Air Nomads, ravaging the Water Tribes, and generally acting like the bad guys. Wow.

It turns out that the "treacherous" earth auxillaries never betrayed the Fire nation. Once they get past the Earth Kingdom blockades, they suddenly attack, crushing the shore defenses and establishing a beachead. The Fire Nation Armada, which had been hiding in the archipelago to conceal iit's true numbers, reveals itself to be almost 600,000 men strong rather than 6,000, and large parts of it are composed of Combustion Sages and Imperial Firebenders. There is also an army of homeless Air Nomads and Water Tribesmen, all determined to take revenge for the destruction of their homes. As soon as they are in the Earth Kingdom they immediatly set out for the Swamp. The Swamp defenders are useless against other Waterbenders, and with the Airbenders hhelping them, victory is soon secured. Airbender hurricanes tear up all of the plant growth, Waterbenders drain out the Water, and Earthbender auxillaries redirect the rivers around it, ensuring that the Swamp will dry up permanently. Many prisoners are taken, and are sent to the Air Nation Islands. They will spend the rest of their lives toiling to rebuild the Air Temples.

Zuko of the Fire nation challenges his sister to an Agni Kai. She refuses, and instead has a team of Combustion Sages pin him down and takes personal pleasure in executing him for treachery, in a manner even more painful than Iroh's. His body is sent back to the Fire nation, and joins his uncle's in the royal graveyard.

Phoenix King Axrendale takes a personal interest in the rioters, and astonishes people by walking unprotected into their midst, and enquiring as to what their problems are. He opens their eyes to the Earth Kingdom Propaganda that had blinded them, and soon wins them over. The originaters of the riots are soon discovered; a group of treacherous Nobles. Phoenix King Ozai publically intterrogates them, and they are forced to reveal to their followers that they were in the employ of the Earth King. They are thrown to the mob, who promptly tear them apart, vowing complete loyalty to Phoenix King Axrendale, who arranges for the construction of a new virtual city of factories that will employ the rioters and bring the Fire Nation's production levels up to almost ten times that of the Earth Kingdom. A number of citizens are recruited into the army, and reinforce the Defensive Blockade.

With her brother dead and, the Swamp Tribe taken out of the picture, and her army firmly established on a beach-head in the Western Earth Kingdom, Princess Azula decides to take the advice of the anonymous letter and returns to the Fire nation, where she is welcomed as a conquering hero. Prior to their death, the Dai Lee entrusted her with their training techniques, and sets about training a new set of Earthbending Auxillaires into a new Dai Lee, as well as beginning work on another, far more secret project. The joint Fire-Earth, Water and Air auxillary force is left under the command of an ambitious and talented admiral named Zhao.

Although the Northern Water Tribe was ravaged, and the Air Temples destroyed, the South Pole remains virtually untouched, and most of the Air Nomads were able to escape from the Earthbending attacks, and have regrouped,still very much a force. Both now wholeheartedly support the Fire nation, recognizing that the only way to restore balance to the world is to capture Ba Sing Se and force a compromise on the Earth King. By contrast, the Earth Kingdom's only ally, the Swamp Tribe, has now been taken permanently out of the equation. The earth Kingdom will now need to rely completely on earthbenders. It is outnumbered 3 nations to 1.

The Earthbending Auxillaries have proven their loyalties, and will be trusted to remain with the Fire Nation. However, wary of further falso defections from the Earth Kingdom, the Fire nation will now accept no recruits from the Earth Kingdom unless they agree to be examined by a group of Gurus from the Air Nation to ensure that they are telling the truth.

The Earth Kingdom is outnumbered, has inferior production and war technolgy, has lost it's only ally, and has a massive enemy Army and Air Force, with a Navy in support secured on it's beaches. However, Phoenix King Axrendale still prefers to show mercy, and once again invites the Earth King to talk terms with him on Kyoshi Island.

I'm sorry to say that we're going to have to put our game on temporary hold; I won't be able to come on here tommorow until the evening.

So, let's call it a truce until then.

Well, I'm still here, so I guess the truce isn't active yet.

I'm afraid to inform you that you have just walked into a complete and utter trap. Princess Azula now reveals her secret project; she has been working with her friend Ty Lee to create an entire army of non-benders skilled in the art of immobilizing their opponents by hitting their pressure points. This army had been holding back inside the Navy, waiting to strike at the right moment. That was why Zhao was ordered to build metal defences; to lure out Toph and her Metalbenders. Despite their great advantage when fighting other benders, the Metalbenders are helpless against the new assault, and are all imobilized and captured, including General Toph. They are mostly sent to the Southern Water Tribe, where they will be kept in prisons of solid ice, unable to do any damage. Waterbender guards remain close at hand, ready to kill the prisoners at a moments notice if there is any hint of either escape or rescue attempts. Several of them are handed over to the Dai Lee in order to be brainwashed into revealing the secrets of their technique. They soon do so, and the Dai Lee begin training other Fire Nation Earth Auxillaries how to bend metal.

The Elemental Union Army (yes, we finally thought of a name) soon regroups, and reastablishes their beachhead. The Elite Non-Bender Army is withdrawn back to the Fire Nation, to act as a reserve. They go into hiding, ready to strike out unexpectedly.

Phoenix King Axrendale introduces a new factory building program that will utilize the already existing Fire Nation production advantage to make sure that the Fire Nation matches the Earth Kingdom factory for factory, mine for mine, and will thus stay ahead in the resources game. He tours the new factories, giving speeches of encouragement and ensuring that the workers are happy, content, well paid, and living under good conditions. His displays of care earn him the undying loyalty of the populace, who are now willing to follow him to the very end. This done, he temporarily departs, overseeing a secret project of his own. Until he returns, power is placed jointly in the hands of the Fire Sage Council (domestic policy) and Princess Azula (miliatry policy).

I must protest!

Earth King Libraman saw fit to use the Swampbenders in battle, and furthermore, was perfectly willing to wipe out the Northern Water Tribe and Air Nomads, despite the absence of the leaders of those nations.

As such, I assumed that Chief EmoHaruno had given command to Libraman, and was willing to accept the consequences. Since this turns out to have been a mistake, the Fire Nation generously proposes a truce, in which we will send workers who will do their utmost best to rebuild the Swamp, and it's people will be allowed to return to their lands.

The Fire Nation is merciful and honorable.

Earth King Libraman, you seem to be laboring under a few delusions. The metalbenders were not with the Dai Lee, they were imprisoned in the South Pole, and are still there, they have not returned to the Earth Kingdom.

Similarly, General Toph remains in special captivity in an undisclosed location, and is hence beyond rescue. She will be released and allowed to return to you only in return for your mechanists.
