Ba Sing Se has been conquered by the Fire Nation! The Dai Li, once just a whispered threat in the Lower Ring, and hailed as cultural protectors of the entire city, have pledged their loyalty to the enemy. Now Fire Nation soldiers are pouring into the last safe city and danger lurks for those who are not allied with them.

Does that mean that the citizens of Ba Sing Se are helpless in the face of the enemy? No! There are those that wish to turn back the tide, send the Fire Nation back where they came from, and reclaim the capital of the Earth Kingdom.

Now that I have dispensed with the prose, let me get more to the point: Suki, the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors, was visiting Ba Sing Se when it was taken over. This development forced her from the house that had been lent to her in the Middle Ring and into hiding in the Lower Ring. It is from the Lower Ring where she intends to find allies, gather her own underground force, and find ways to take back the city.

Those who are interested in the Ba Sing Se Underground can join up here! We are looking for anyone who wants to get rid of the Fire Nation and clear Ba Sing Se of the corruption that led to its downfall. Benders and non-benders alike are welcome, young or old, any skill level!

It would also be great if there are any Fire Nation soldiers or affiliated peoples who would like to play the part of antagonist in this RP. Those from the Ba Sing Se government and have pledged their loyalty to the new Fire Nation rule are just dandy too.

Have questions? Talk about it here.

The Story Thus Far:

The Underground is about to undertake their first mission: sneaking into Ba Sing Se's prison with the intent to bolster their ranks and sabotage the Fire Nation's establishment there. They have readied themselves with disguises and a lucky story to back them up.

Salak, a Fire Navy official working with the newly established government, has gained the aid of assassin Zarah and the young soldier Ai Lin. While their meeting is overheard by Xing Fei, he has yet to act on his information. They're not all so keen on getting along, though. Both the assassin and the soldier have questioned the commander's methods, and Ai Lin's place on the team is dependent on her fighting skills in a match against Salak.

Prisoners Tetsuya and Rin want out of the jail as soon as they can, not knowing that help is on the way. They are overheard by Shen-Zhu, a mysterious fellow who may be able to lend them some assistance.

Joychi, wanting to find out what happened to his troops, sneaks into the city disguised as a Fire Nation soldier. When he is confronted by an actual Fire Nation soldier in the Middle Ring, some fast talking gets him heading off to the prison in the Upper Ring before the soldier is able to go after him. His disguise doesn't fool all the soldiers, however, and Joychi is forced to surrender when faced with overwhelming numbers of soldiers.

Outside of Ba Sing Se, after helping fend off an Earth Kingdom resistance Yoshinori recruits the young firebender Michiko (despite a rocky first meeting). Once settling things with the resistance, Yoshinori, Michiko and his team head off for the city. Though Michiko is injured during the trip, the group manages to arrive at the royal prison. Yoshinori soon is put to work quelling the sudden escape attempts.

Wanting to strike against the new establishment in Ba Sing Se, Auka formulates a plan of his own, attempting an ambush on an intoxicated Dai Li agent. This doesn't go as well as he'd like, and even with the assistance of passing by fellow waterbender Suigetsu, the two get apprehended and taken away to the prison. Not content to waste their days away there, the two quickly set on finding a way out. Though they make some progress, some unfortunate mishaps hinder them, including Suigetsu being interrogated by Yuudai, an official working for the Fire Nation.

The combination of luck and disguises allows the Underground access into the prison, where Yulan, Shuai and Jen-jiao are immediately separated from their disguised cohorts and taken to their own cells. There, Jen finds support in fellow new prisoner Joychi, though an escape attempt on his part becomes increasingly problematic, facing off against Yoshinori, even with the assistance of Auka who used the fight to escape the guards. Shuai finds another bit of luck on her side, as her cell ends up next to one specific prisoner they were looking for: Jen's brother Tao-Lei. Suki, Mahone and Toru take to finding the maximum security wing first, and a very particular prisoner that could give them the edge they need...Long Feng

The Earth Kingdom can not be defeated!
