''Very well but we shall hold no responsibility for his fate'' And with that the men dismissed Jun and continued to whisper to each other.

''Mister, hey mister Chu!'' As soon as the sun had risen the next morning Ran could be found pestering the bartender ''Did that man upstairs drink a lot? He did? Great! in that case I'l just take this bucket of water!'' Ran was to fast to even hear whether Yun really would be suffering from a hangover but he didn't care. The jerks....wet awakening was meant more as payback for making Ran his mule anyway.

''Hey mister! Time to wake uuuuuuup!'' The young archer sang happily as he poured the bucked of water over Jun's bed.

''O-of course sister'' Ran made a bow of courtesy in the hope it would hide his nerves. Ran never liked to be the one giving the orders, it felt wrong or to be more accurate, he suspected the soldiers would consider it wrong to take orders from a stranger. As the thinker of the due Ran would much rather instruct his sister on the strategy and have her announce it to the troops.

Despite his reservations Ran made his way to the command balcony ''Right then.....'' First he started taking deep breath's and going over the plan again in his head, then translate it to the orders he needed to give his soldiers.
''M-men of the Jia family! The battle is upon us!'' The young commander yelled down from the balcony ''Bender squadron 45, 53, 66 and 90! assemble yourself below deck! board our smaller vessels and sail out to the enemy ships! the majority of them are made of wood so this shan't be hard!'' The soldiers obeyed, they always obeyed Ran's orders and yet it always as a slight surprise ''Bender squadron 5, 19, 28 and 100! mount the canon's on the ship and fire on both Roku island and the enemy ships! Infantry divisions! prepare yourself to fight your way forward once our ship has reached the beach! The boar riders shall be kept in reserve until the right time!''

Once each group had their orders the soldiers all walked to their positions with treat efficiency. Barely five minutes after Ran's speech the ships canon's unleashed enormous fireballs and smaller boat's left the ship to clash with the enemy.

The officer Suyin had in mind looked as if she was about 19 years old and carried a lighter version of the standard fire nation armor, with one noticeable exception being the lighting bolt on her helmet. Her dark blue hair was tied in a long ponytail. The girls face would have been pretty if not for the large scar running from the right side of her chin all the way up to her hair, an eyepatch was placed over her eye.
''Lady Suyin!'' The girl saluted ''I see you have need of me, another rush to the commander I take it?''
