When the darkness of the pipe became a little illuminated, she finally felt a bit of relief. That is, until she realized that she would be dropping downward along with the cascade. Screaming in terror, she waved her arms frantically until she finally hit the ground. Miko fluttered off her head and into her line of sight, completely untouched by the sludgy water.
Jade glared at the spirit and flicked some water towards her. "You don't have any right to stay clean."
Upon hearing her friends' screams again, she looked back over her shoulder toward the drill. Katara and Sokka were carried down with the cascading water, just as she had been. Their screams stopped when they slid onto the ground beside her, but Sokka began dramatically flapping his arms around and crying out in disgust. Jade stared blankly at him.
They all stood up and looked toward the drill again, only to spot a flash of pink among the slurry emerging from the pipe. Katara and Jade shared a look before bending the slurry right back into the pipe. Ty Lee could be heard screaming and struggling as she remained trapped at the end of the pipe.
"Why don't you try blocking my chi now, Circus Freak!" Katara glared.
"Katara, Jade, keep that up!" Sokka encouraged. "The pressure will build up in the drill! Then, when Aang delivers the final blow it'll be ready to pop!"
"You got it, plan guy!" Jade replied.
One encouragement was enough. As someone who who often tended to praise her friends, Jade appreciated it. But when Sokka continuously began complimenting their efforts and telling them to keep it up, she couldn't help but to sigh in annoyance.
Katara, on the other hand, was showing much more irritation in her expression.
"Good technique, little sister! Jade, you're doing fantastic!" He went on. "Keep it up! Don't forget to breathe!"
His sister finally glanced back at him. "You know, I am just about sick and tired of you telling me what to do all day! You're like a chattering Hog-Monkey!"
"Just blend the slurry, woman!"
Jade and Katara shared another look before Katara raised her hand. She bended the slurry beneath Sokka's feet and knocked him to the ground.
The younger bender nodded her approval. "Thank you for that."
"You guys need some help?" They looked up ahead to see Toph approaching them. Jade grinned.
"Yes please!" She replied. "We need to plug up the drain."
Toph walked up between the two waterbenders and took a stance. Once she shot her hands out, the rocks in the slurry were pushed back just as much as the water. The slurry was forced up into the drain and out of sight, plugging up the drill's drain. Jade looked over her shoulder at Sokka.
"What do we do now?" She inquired.
He co*cked an eyebrow. "Oh, so now you want my help?"
After staring blankly at him, she looked back up at the drain. "Forget I asked."
"No, wait, I'll tell you!"
Before anything else could be said, however, Toph spoke up. "Here it comes!"
She raised her arms and formed a platform beneath their feet, lifting all of them up above the drain's level. Before Jade ask what 'it' was, at least four times the amount of slurry from before began to pour out from the drain. As Miko landed next to her, Jade sat on her knees and watched over the edge of their platform as the slurry poured out all around them.
When the drill finally stopped moving and fell silent after multiple loud bangs, she smiled and looked over her shoulder at her friends.
"So, this means we did it, right?"

It was a long day, but the sun had begun setting as they stood at the top of Ba Sing Se's wall again. As they stared out at the pretty sky, Sokka grinned.
"I just want to say, good effort out there today Team Avatar!" He praised.
Katara crossed her arms. "Enough with the Team Avatar stuff." She shook her head. "No matter how many times you say it, it's not gonna catch on."
He frowned thoughtfully. "How about..." Frightened, Momo hopped off of Aang's shoulder when Sokka abruptly whipped out his boomerang. "The Boomerang Squad! See, it's good cause it's got "Aang" in it." He set his hand on Aang's head. "Boomer-Aang!"
Aang shrugged. "I kinda like that one."
Jade poked his arm. "Of course you would."
"Let's talk about this on our way into the city." Katara suggested. Sokka watched them as they all turned away.
"The Aang Gang?" He offered.
"Sokka..." She sighed.
"The Fearsome Fivesome!"
"You're crazy." Toph said.
"What? We're fearsome!"
