Break Down the War Machines

Sokka followed Katara and Aang to the Earthbending school he found. While the other two were scouting his teaching, Sokka pondered what his strategy should be. He could get rid of their firebending, it was perfect. No fire, means no way for them to fight in the war! Sokka quickly took out the book and began writing.

Fire Nation

New Rule: Firebending is

As he wrote, he remembered the Siege of the North, how Zhao killed the Moon Spirit to get rid of waterbending. He remembered Yue's sacrifice. Most importantly, he remembered what Iroh had said, how everyone depended on the balance of the elements. He looked up at Aang who was getting clobbered with boulders. He'd still need to master the four elements, which he couldn't do if Firebending disappeared. Sokka erased the unfinished rule and sighed. There had to be another way to weaken them. He thought for a moment and figured it out.

New Rule: The Fire Nation will not make any new machines for their war.

If he couldn't weaken their fire, he'd weaken their industry. The Siege of the North had almost completely destroyed their fleet, and with this new rule, any new ships would stop being built. Sokka put the book away and checked on Aang and Katara.

"Yeah, this isn't the right teacher for me," Aang said as he walked out with Katara propping him up on her shoulder.

"It looked brutal, any better ideas on where to look?" Sokka asked before wondering if he could use the book in his bag to help him in some way. Before he could pull it out to show him, two students came out of the dojo in the midst of a conversation.

"The Boulder is totally getting the belt back during Earth Rumble VI tonight!"

"Yeah right, he'd have to take down all the other fighters before he even gets a shot at the Blind Bandit!"

"Earth Rumble VI, what's that?" Aang asked, as he walked up to the students.

"Oh it's an event called Nunya," one of the students said sarcastically as they walked off.

"I got this," Katara said with a kind smile before running off after them. After a few mintues she came back and told them exactly where it was held.

"How'd you get them to tell you where it is?" Aang asked.

"A girl has her ways," she said with a smirk.

(I kinda want Sokka to write a rule that inadvertantly causes Toph to defeat Aang during the tournament, but I don't know what it should be. If you guys have any ideas in the comments, that'd be great.)
