![]() Declaring that any friend of the Avatar was an enemy of theirs, Azula and her friends successfully attacked and captured the warriors, sending them back to a Fire Nation prison. However, instead of finding Aang, she found the Kyoshi Warriors, who were taking care of Appa. ![]() Princess Azula, alongside her friends Mai and Ty Lee, was tracking the Avatar using a fur trail Appa left behind. Long Feng was imprisoned, pending trial for crimes against the Earth Kingdom, but was soon satisfied that the Dai Li were still loyal to him. The Avatar eventually confronted the Earth King, successfully proving to him both that the Earth Kingdom was at war, and that Long Feng was corrupt. Appa flew out and immediately rescued Team Avatar from the Dai Li before reuniting with Aang. Meanwhile, after harsh words from Iroh, Zuko freed Appa from his prison beneath Lake Laogai. However, they failed to locate him and in an ensuing battle, Jet was killed by Long Feng. After successfully restoring Jet's memory and receiving vital information on the Dai Li, the group infiltrated the agency's secret base in an attempt to rescue Appa. ![]() While the group was putting up flyers around the city, they discovered a brainwashed Jet and later two members of the Freedom Fighters. Team Avatar made a sustained effort to find Appa. Jet engaged Zuko in a sword duel, but was captured and brainwashed by the Dai Li. Jet, however, suspected that they were firebenders and, after several unsuccessful attempts to expose their abilities, openly declared his suspicions at the Pao Family Tea House where Iroh and Zuko worked. Zuko and Iroh had also entered Ba Sing Se as unnoticed refugees where Iroh quickly gained a reputation as the "best tea-maker in Ba Sing Se". Long Feng, the Grand Secretariat of Ba Sing Se, was using his Dai Li agents to keep knowledge of the War suppressed and was controlling the city by manipulating the Earth King. ![]() Upon entering the city, the team marveled at its splendor and sheer magnificence however, they soon learned of turmoil brewing within its walls. The group journeyed to Ba Sing Se by way of a deadly route known as the Serpent's Pass, and foiled the Fire Nation's attempt to invade the city. Additionally, the team wished to locate Appa who had been stolen and transported to Ba Sing Se. Sokka wished to tell the Earth King of an impending solar eclipse during which the firebenders would lose their bending, a date that was discovered during Team Avatar's visit to Wan Shi Tong's Library. Team Avatar decided to journey to Ba Sing Se after they navigated their way out of the Si Wong Desert. The final major military operation of the Fire Nation in the Earth Kingdom prior to the coming of Sozin's Comet a few months later, the event also prompted Azula's brother, Prince Zuko, to fight for and return to the Fire Nation. Because Ba Sing Se was the last great Earth Kingdom stronghold left in the world, the coup was a major defeat for the enemies of the Fire Nation, and it placed both Ba Sing Se and the entire Earth Kingdom under the Fire Lord's control. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation and her allies, Mai and Ty Lee, disguised themselves as Kyoshi Warriors, infiltrated the Earth Kingdom capital city of Ba Sing Se, took control of the Dai Li, and orchestrated a coup of the 52nd Earth King to decapitate the Earth Kingdom's political and military leadership. The Coup of Ba Sing Se, also known as the Fall of the Earth Kingdom or the Fall of Ba Sing Se, was an event which took place in the spring of 100 AG.
