Chapter 13: The Great Escape!

Fire Naruto Colony; Earth Kingdom...

Naruto had just finished speaking with the Colony's leader and he offered the blonde to spend another day in the colony to recover, but the blonde rejected his offer because he was getting a worrisome feeling and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Naruto tried to focus on what the overly grateful Colony leader was saying, but he was just so smug and self-centered that the blonde wanted to punch him badly.

"So those Earth benders are all dead; they were lucky that I didn't get my hands on them," the leader of the colony said. His name is Hel, and he is a short, fat man who looks like he will die of a heart attack any day now.

"Yes, yes I'm sure," Naruto replied in an overly dramatic voice.

"Yes, I would have, but you did a good job of putting them in their place." He stated while he looked out of breath from just talking.

"Well, my job here is done, so I will be taking my leave." said Naruto.

"Are you sure you can't stay at least another day?" Hel asked the blonde. "We will treat you to dinner in exchange for helping us out."

"Sorry, but I really have to go," Naruto said. "But a word of advice, beef up the security here because there may be other Earth benders looking for a chance to attack." Naruto sped away with his warning, leaving Hel looking frightened as if an enemy was about to attack him at any moment.

Fire Palace...

Chia and Nalu have decided to attempt to escape the palace and face the consequences later rather than be used as tools against their shared love.

"So we have to get out of here," Nalu said. "We are too high to go through the window, and there are guards outside the room." The room they were in was at least five stories off the ground.

"So what can we do?" Chia asked as she wasn't a fighter and was just a civilian.

"We can try to climb down from here, but we might be spotted or even fall to our deaths. We could also try to fool the guards and knock them out" Nalu suggested.

"I don't know what I can do to help, but I will do whatever you say if it helps us escape from here," Chia stated, finding her conviction in knowing she would not allow herself to be used by anyone to harm her loved ones.

"Okay, I have a plan, but it's risky, and you might not like it," Nalu said as he explained his plan in detail, causing Chia to blush and reluctantly nod.

"I need you to seduce one of the guards outside while I will knock out the other one," Nalu said as she reached into her dress and pulled out a small vial. "This is a poison; I've been carrying it with me at all times. It helps me sleep. I want you to get the guard to drink it somehow."

"Fine, I will do it, but how will I get the guard to drink it?" Chia asked, not knowing how she would be able to fool a trained soldier and make him drink something to make him fall asleep.

"You are underestimating yourself," said Nalu. "You are a sexy woman that most men would give an arm or a leg to stick their dicks into. Just use your sex appeal and it will work."

Chia had stripped out of most of her clothes, leaving her in her bra and panties; Nalu's plan was simple yet the best that they could come up with in such little time.

Gathering her nerves, Chia went to the door and opened it. "You are to return to your room at once," one of the guards ordered.

"I will go back, but I was wondering if one of you would like some company while my friend sleeps." She said with a seductive smile that made it clear that her intentions were anything but innocent.

The guards looked at each other and didn't reply at once, but Chia poured some more wine and then turned around and headed back into the room, giving them a clear view of her panty-covered ass cheeks that bounced with every step she took, making their pants tighten.

The guard looked at the other as if daring the other to make the first move; then his hand shot forward and he shouted, "Rock, paper, scissors!"

"Damn it, I lost," one of the guards swore as the other walked into the room with a swagger in his step.

Sea Between Earth and Fire Nation...

Naruto is on a ship heading back to the Fire Nation; the ship itself is large and carries several people who wish to return to the Fire Nation for reasons of their own.

The blond man had experienced a sense of dread ever since he completed the mission in the Fire Nation colony on the border of the Earth Kingdom.

He could only distract himself by watching a nearby couple throwing up over the side of the ship; they were trying to comfort each other, but the one was getting seasick.

Naruto hoped the ship would reach the Fire Nation so he could run the rest of the way.

Fire Palace...

Chia had managed to get the guard to relax enough that he took off his helmet, but left his armor on; she had given him something to drink. She had been tempted to drug it with the sleeping potion, but she correctly guessed he wouldn't drink or eat anything if he suspected something was up.

Nalu, who was pretending to be asleep, was becoming increasingly anxious while Chia tried to figure out how to get the man to drink the poison down. An idea suddenly hit her.

Chia swayed her hips and sat down on the guard's lap; he wasn't ugly, but he was not handsome either. He was an average-looking Fire Nation man in his thirties.

"So, Mr. Guard, how about we play a little game together?" Chia said with a wink.

The guard eagerly nodded his head and brought his mouth to hers, the man started to grab at her body, to her disgust, but she endured it.

"That felt good," Chia said as she turned her head and put some of the poison Nalu had given her in her mouth before returning to kissing the man, forcing him to drink it.

The man pushed Chia off of him, but it was too late; his vision turned black. The commotion drew the attention of the guard outside, who ran into the room and saw his partner on the floor.

"What happened here?" the guard demanded. "Explain yourself now."

Chia got frightened as she was not a fighter and backed away from him; Nalu chose this moment to attack. She used her firebending to catapult herself out of the bed and slammed her foot into the guard's face, knocking off his helmet. Then, she proceeded to punch him with a fist and release a blast of fire, burning his face and knocking him out.

Chia was shocked by Nalu's brutality, but she was snapped out of it when her friend grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room and to freedom.

Fire Nation Dock...

As soon as the ship docked, the blonde lightning bender jumped off of it and started to run at full speed for the Fire Nation capital.

He hoped his gut feeling was wrong, but he had to get back there in case anything happened to his loved ones.

The blonde thought as she looked at the picture of the Earthbender's family; this war was causing people to lose their loved ones left and right, but he swore he would protect his precious people no matter the cost. Increasing her pace, the blonde ran toward the Fire Capital.

Fire Palace...

Nalu and the half-naked Chia were making their way out of the Fire Palace; they had to avoid guards and servants alike, or else they would be caught.

"Shh, don't make a sound," Nalu whispered to her friend as she saw some guards pass by; Chia was blushing like crazy from being out in the open in just her bra and panties.

"Couldn't you have let me get my clothes before we left the room?" Chia asked, feeling exposed with her body on display.

"We had no time; we have to move fast and get out of here as soon as possible. Naruto should be back anytime now. We just have to keep out of sight for the time being." Nalu replied as she ushered Chia to follow her. They were close to the first floor, so they should be able to make it outside.

"Fine, but we're getting some clothes when we get out of here," Chia stated firmly, leaving no room for argument.

"Okay, but remain alert for now; we are surrounded by the Fire Lord's servants and guards," Nalu said as she spotted the exit and didn't see anyone there. She ran to it with Chia right next to her.

"Come on, we are almost there," Nalu stated, but a voice made her heart drop.

"You fucking bitch," he growled, his face contorted with rage as he pointed a finger at her. "Look at what you've done to me."

"Run!" Nalu ordered as she didn't want her friend to get caught up in this mess and the more time they wasted, the bigger the chance that they would get caught, so if at least Chia managed to escape, it wouldn't be for nothing.

Chia hesitated for a second before running for the exit, leaving Nalu alone with the insane guard who shot a jet of fire at her, which she easily dodged.

"I will kill you, bitch," the guard screamed. He moved faster than Nalu could follow, and before she knew it, he had her pinned to the ground.

The crazed guard was about to finish Nalu off when he was hit in the back of the head by a vase thrown by Chia, who had come back and knocked him to the ground, momentarily stunning him.

"Come on let's get out of here" Chia said as she grabbed Nalu's hand and ran with the mad guard right behind them giving chase while screaming bloody murder.
