"Okay Aang, this is the best map of the fire nation I could afford." He laid the paper out in front of him so everyone could huddle around the map and see. He put two paperweights on the edges so it wouldn't fly away or roll up when he was using it. "Aang, point to the spot you said they were at."
The boy did, pointing at the center of the woods they had gone through multiple times. "Right here." And then he pointed to another spot on the map, "and here is the ground where Yuki took us to."
"Okay." Sakka said, "that looks like it's just about 4 miles apart." He gave Aang a look like he had total faith in him, "how fast do u run?"
Aang looked at Sakka, seeming to know exactly why he was asking. "Uh." He had never timed himself. "Very fast?"
"Great!" Sakka smiled enthusiastically, seeming to be excited about the plan he came up with. "So here's the plan." He pointed to spots on the map, using it while he talked to give everyone an idea where their post would be at. "I will be waiting with Aang a little ways away from the auction site- which is where all the vampires are at- and Zuko will infiltrate the premises and start getting all their attention."
'Infiltrate the premises?' What were they robbing a bank?
Aang hand to put hands over his mouth to keep from laughing at Zuko's thought.
Sakka didn't notice. Too wrapped up in explaining the plan to give any. Toph, Suki, and Katara looked at him funny though.
"Once Zuko has all their attention, Aang's going to start running like a mad cow with a butcher on his back. Sorry Aang, your bait but I guess you knew that would happen." He looked at Aang, sorry but not sorry. Aang shrugged nervously, of course, he knew that already. He was expecting it, there was really no other way to do this. "Aang, I mean you are going to have to run. Fast." He said seriously to the Airbender. "You have to run four miles with an army of vampires chasing you. Can you do that?"
Nervous and scared but well aware of his speed, Aang nodded.
"Good. Don't worry though you will have back up." He pointed to a few more spots on the map, "this is where Katara will be waiting, as soon as she has you in her sights, she will pick off the vampires closest to you and put up barriers to slow them down."
Katara and Aang nodded. Katara would have his back, and he knew that, but did he want her putting her life at risk for him?
He didn't know how to handle this.
"Same with Toph," Sakka continued, unknowing of Aang's internal battle. "She will be right around here, waiting to do the same thing as Katara."
He nodded. Will they really be able to fight off even a few of them? Toph couldn't even handle Zuko...
What if they go after her?
Sakka smiles as he looked pointedly at his girlfriend. "Suki, being the smartest human around," Zuko coughed, "will be in charge of setting traps."
"What traps?" Katara asked, interested.
Sakka smiled, ready to explain his genius, "I made them myself." He bragged. "There really just things that will distract some of the vampires, but only temporarily." He took something out from behind his back. A long thick wooden stick sharpened to a point. "I'm going to need some blood from Aang, but the plan is that Suki dips these in your blood and puts these all over the place so that some of the vampires are distracted. At least for a few seconds." Everyone blinked at how smart that was. It may only give Aang a few seconds extra time, but it was that few seconds that could mean the rest of the world's life.
