INT. FIRE NATION DERELICT – DAY

 

WIDE ON: SOKKA walks into a room and tries to read the labels of some boxes on there, but it is too dark for him to see the labels. He pulls a small pack of matches out of his pocket and takes one out. It takes several strikes, but he finally manages to light it. He then sticks it to a torch, and almost unwittingly drops the match on the floor.

 

CLOSE ON: The match falls to the floor, accidentally igniting an old fuse.

 

ANGLE ON: SOKKA leans in closer with his torch to read the printing on the crates.

 

INTERCUT: The fuse burns, ever so slowly making its way to the boxes.

 

SOKKA eventually wipes the ice off of one of the crates, and his eyes bug out as he sees what they say. He then turns to see the fuse, making its way to the boxes.

 

ANGLE ON: SOKKA rushes out of the room.

 

ANGLE ON: SOKKA dashes through the hallway, and runs into KATARA, who’s holding a couple of bags.

 

KATARA

Oh! Look what I found-

 

SOKKA

That’s nice. Now let’s get out of here.

 

KATARA

What’s wrong?

 

SOKKA

I’ll tell you later. Just hurry!

 

He grabs KATARA’s arm and leads her away, causing her to drop the bags.

 

CLOSE ON: The fuse nearly finds its mark.

 

EXT. FIRE NATION DERELICT – DAY

 

WIDE ON: SOKKA rushes with KATARA out of the SHIP.

 

ANGLE ON: He rushes her over to a snow mound and pushes her behind it, before joining her. He peaks over the edge.

 

INT. FIRE NATION DERELICT – SUPPLY ROOM - DAY

 

CLOSE ON: The fire finally meets its target; a load of gunpowder.

 

EXT. ICE PLAIN – DAY

 

WIDE ON: The ship suddenly bursts in a spectacular explosion, with debris being scattered and the very hulk of the ship being torn to shreds.

 

CLOSE ON: KATARA and SOKKA duck behind the snow mound to avoid flying debris.

 

EXT. ZUKO’S SHIP – MAIN DECK – DAY

 

MEDIUM ON: ÏROH is taking a sip of tea. Upon hearing the rumbling of the explosion in the distance, he hesitates for a moment. He disregards it and resumes his tea.

 

EXT. ICE PLAIN – DAY

 

WIDE ON: The explosions begin to die down, and some of the larger debris begins to sink down into the hole left by the ship’s absence. Various bits of metal no bigger than a foot are scattered around the large pool of water.

 

ANGLE ON: SOKKA and KATARA peak over their snow mound and see the ship’s absence. The both lean on their elbows as KATARA gives a suspicious and angry glance in SÔKKA’s direction. SOKKA then leaps over the ice-mound to go look into the hole. KATARA groans and follows him.

 

ANGLE ON: SOKKA looks into the water, seeing if there’s anything to salvage. KATARA arrives behind him. He then squints his eyes as he leans forward.

 

KATARA

What did you do?

 

SOKKA

Sssh… Look at that. What is that?

 

KATARA leans forward.
