Nikko was prepared to fight against the guards, but before he could use his water, his hands were bound together by rock. He remembered that the Dai Li agents of Ba Sing Se commonly used rock gloves for the same purpose. It seemed that they had taken notice of his water pouches and the motions he made moments before they bound his hands. He sruggled against the rock and attempted to fight with his feet, but to was all proven useless when one of the guards grabbed him to prevent him from moving.

"Hey! Let me go!" He continued to struggle against the guard, stopping momentarily to hear what the guards had to say. He wondered what 'The Lotus' was, and assumed that it was someone who was a part of the White Lotus group. They had made quite an impact, and made themselves fully known during the day of the fall of Fire Lord Ozai.

He ceased struggling as he thought about how to escape. Honestly, it wouldn't matter as he would have to get out of the town anyway.
