ForsytheOnly a little ways away, two figures turned to look at the commotion going on in the market. They were quite surprised to see a Water Tribe girl being attacked by the Fire Nation guard right in front of the avatar. Their lips curled up into a vile smile as they looked to one another.
"This is unforeseen, but Queen Iluq must have sent a sister to help us." The first figure looked to the one beside them, their aqua eyes wondering if their partner had thought the same thing.
"Surely." The second responded in a simple manner. "We can't let the opportunity slip through our fingers. We'll go now. The three of us can best a swordsman, a couple guards, and an incomplete Avatar."

Meanwhile, As the strange Water Tribe girl ran up to them, and was subsequently grounded by the guards, Masaru was quite surprised to hear that she was talking to the wrong man. Though, had be been a bystander on the street, he would have believed that the stronger, more able looking man was the avatar, rather than the kid that sat atop a large animal. Masaru wasn't given much time to react to his new bodyguard when the girl had ran up an interrupted them. She seemed as if she had something urgent to tell him.
While he was, technically, the largest figure of authority, protecting the world and keeping balance, Masaru didn't really spout left and right how he was the Avatar, and how his word should be heeded by all. His eyes looked to the guards who kept the woman on the ground. He could see the two guards doing their best to keep her on the ground, but he looked down at them with some strange meekness.
"Uh, can you let her go? I think she has something to say to us." Masaru asked them, looked at the guards as the hesitated, but relented. One girl, even a dangerous waterbender, wouldn't be much against four opponents.
"She wants to tell you how you're going to die!" An unknown voice shouted as one of the two mysterious figures launched themselves at Masaru, water coiling around their arm, ready to strike like a whip at whomever it's target might be.
The figure lashed the whip, intending to connect with Masaru. However, the Avatar had managed to avoid the attack, faltering backwards and off of Tano. He rolled down the Armadillo Bear's side, landing on his feet just as the hybrid stood up on two legs to make itself seem even larger than it was.
Meanwhile, the second figure blasted a torrent of water at the two guards, hoping to distance them from the Water Tribe girl.
