After suffering a defeat in 'the chase', Azula and her friends fall into an ambush of the earht kingdom army. Earhtbenders make their vehicle sink in quik sand and the girls are forced to flee on their lizards. During the fight Mai got separated from the others. An earhtbender knocks her off her lizard. A wounded Mai flees into the forest. Before losing her conscious. Help arrives in an unexpected form.

Zuko remembers Mai as his old girlfriend and decides to protect her. Later, Iroh convince him to live her nearby a fire nation village. Because they don't wanne give away their location. Not been totally sure of Mai true colours. Zuko agree's

I liked the idea that Mai and the Blue Spirit would meet.
Maiko forever! ^_^
